Little Dragon Girl and Tian Yan's First Meeting

"Kid, you're getting harder and harder for me to understand."

A hint of surprise appeared in Tian Yan's eyes.

"Sister Tian Yan, it's getting late. I'll take you to find somewhere to stay first. While we're at it, I'll introduce you to the others."

"The others? People like me?"

"That's right. I wonder if Sister Tian Yan would be interested in meeting her."

"I am a little interested. Let's go, kid."

A dozen or so minutes later, Jiang Lin brought Tian Yan to the front of an inn.

The Flowing Light Inn. Before heading to Notting Academy to register that day, Jiang Lin had arranged for Little Dragon Girl to stay here.

After going up to the second floor, Jiang Lin knocked on the door to room 203.

"Who is it?"

A cool, detached voice came from within.

"Sister Long, it's me, Jiang Lin."

Upon hearing his voice, delight appeared in Little Dragon Girl's eyes, and she immediately opened the door.

However, she quickly noticed Tian Yan beside Jiang Lin, and a trace of amazement appeared in her eyes.

This woman is so beautiful. Even Senior Sister would pale greatly in comparison to her.

"Jiang Lin, who is she?"

Coming back to her senses, Little Dragon Girl looked at Jiang Lin in confusion.

"Sister Long, this is Sister Tian Yan. Like you, she comes from another world."

"She has just arrived and doesn't have anywhere to stay yet, so I thought I'd let her make do with you for the night. Tomorrow during the day, I'll arrange accommodations for both of you."

"Mm, is that so? There's no problem with that. The bed in the room is big enough for this sister to sleep with me."

Little Dragon Girl nodded, then turned to Tian Yan and greeted her kindly.

"Hello, Sister Tian Yan. You can call me Long'er. It's nice to meet you."

"Sister Long'er, it's nice to meet you too."

Having been able to see through people's hearts since childhood, Tian Yan could easily tell how pure and kind Little Dragon Girl was. Her tone thus became gentle, without the slightest trace of the directness and coldness she had shown when speaking to Jiang Lin.

Then, Tian Yan took the lead and held Little Dragon Girl's hand as she led her into the room, where the two began chatting.

Seeing this, Jiang Lin was somewhat surprised. He had originally thought the two women would clash the moment they met, but they were getting along so harmoniously instead.

"Sister Long, Sister Tian Yan, if there's nothing else, I'll head back to the academy first."

With that, Jiang Lin turned to leave. However, before he had taken more than a few steps, Little Dragon Girl's voice rang out.

"Jiang Lin, there's still a sofa in the room. Why don't you make do here with us tonight?"

"Huh?"

Jiang Lin was immediately taken aback. Not only him—even Tian Yan's gaze toward Little Dragon Girl changed.

"What is it? Is there a problem?"

Little Dragon Girl looked at them both in confusion.

Clearly, she lacked far too much common sense from living in the Ancient Tomb. Furthermore, when she had previously shared a bed with Jiang Lin, he had indeed behaved himself and had not made a single improper move. As a result, Little Dragon Girl trusted him greatly and saw nothing wrong with inviting him to stay this time.

"Mm, there's no problem."

Jiang Lin looked at Little Dragon Girl's confused face, fell silent for a moment, and finally understood her way of thinking.

"Kid, since Sister Long'er has asked you to stay, then stay. But let me warn you—don't get any improper ideas."

A smile appeared on Tian Yan's face, but her voice was icy, making Jiang Lin shudder.

"Ahem, don't worry, Sister Tian Yan. I guarantee I won't entertain any thoughts I shouldn't."

Though it was somewhat unexpected, Jiang Lin naturally had to seize this chance to sleep in the same room as two stunning beauties.

However, perhaps because he was there, neither Little Dragon Girl nor Tian Yan had any intention of taking off her clothes before sleeping.

This disappointed Jiang Lin, who had been looking forward to feasting his eyes. Still, disappointment aside, falling asleep while breathing in the fragrance of two peerless beauties was quite wonderful too. Before long, Jiang Lin fell soundly asleep on the sofa.

Seeing this, Tian Yan, who had merely been casually chatting with Little Dragon Girl, had a thought. She gradually steered their conversation deeper, and before long, a blush appeared on the innocent Little Dragon Girl's face.

The night passed, and morning arrived.

Reluctantly, Jiang Lin opened his eyes as he savored the figure from his dream.

Just as he wanted to sit up, an awkward expression appeared on his face.

Feeling his body's instinctive reaction, Jiang Lin could only sigh helplessly. He could neither stand nor sit, so he had no choice but to bend over slightly as he climbed off the sofa.

By then, Little Dragon Girl and Tian Yan had also awakened.

Perhaps due to their cultivation, even though they had slept in their clothes, after an entire night, not only was there no trace of sweat on them, but they also gave off a faint fragrance.

Jiang Lin's strange movements naturally caught both women's attention.

Little Dragon Girl was the first to speak.

"Jiang Lin? What's wrong? Didn't you sleep well?"

Seeing Little Dragon Girl's innocent look, Tian Yan beside her could not help but snicker.

"What's wrong, Sister Tian Yan? What are you laughing at?"

Little Dragon Girl's eyes were full of bewilderment. She could not understand what the two of them were thinking at all.

"Ahem, it's nothing. Since we're all up, Sister Long and Sister Tian Yan, hurry up and wash up. We'll go to the academy for breakfast in a while."

Jiang Lin gave an awkward laugh. After exhausting all his strength to suppress that stirring within him, he hurriedly changed the subject.

As they stepped out of the Flowing Light Inn, a slight chill wind blew over them, and they found that it had begun to drizzle.

"Sister Long, Sister Tian Yan, wait here for a moment. I'll go ask the front desk whether they have an umbrella."

Jiang Lin frowned slightly, then returned to the Flowing Light Inn.

When he came out again, he had a green umbrella in his hand.

"There's only one?"

"Mm. It looks like the two of you will have to squeeze together."

Jiang Lin seemed somewhat embarrassed, though for some reason, a faint anticipation rose in his heart.

"Mm, for now, that's the only way."

Little Dragon Girl nodded slightly, agreeing to the suggestion.

"What about you, Sister Tian Yan?"

"I'll pass. This little rain can't touch me."

Tian Yan gave Jiang Lin a teasing smile, then casually waved her hand. A translucent barrier appeared in front of her, and whenever raindrops fell, they diverted around it.

"Ah, since Sister Tian Yan doesn't need it, then Sister Long and I will share it."

A trace of surprise appeared in Jiang Lin's eyes, but he was not too disappointed. Having Little Dragon Girl accompany him was good enough.

The green bamboo umbrella opened. Since Little Dragon Girl was taller, she held the handle, while Jiang Lin leaned lightly against her side.

The distance between them was neither too close nor too far. It allowed Jiang Lin to constantly smell Little Dragon Girl's fragrance and feel her warmth, without making them press completely together without the slightest gap.

Tian Yan walked beside them, and from time to time, an indescribable smile flickered in her eyes.
