Centaurea took the pizza, then reached out and patted Ayao's little head as payment for the delivery.

After Ayao happily turned and left, Centaurea turned and went inside.

"This pizza is pretty big for me... but for that Lecherous Evil God, it's probably about the size of a coin, right? How did they bake such a small pizza?"

"And... how should this monetary system be built?"

"Forget it, that's something the Former Young Lady should care about anyway. I'll just live a life of leisure and do nothing."

Whether or not a monetary system is established is actually irrelevant.

Because those Ayao got their goods from Chen Ran, and the payment Chen Ran needed had already been paid by Centaurea and the others every night.

So why even mention this monetary system?

Because among the residents of this miniature 'Seaside Resort Town' is the Heart of the Corrupted Skadi.

The Ayao had finally filled the shelves with goods and were happily opening for business when Heart of the Corrupted Skadi came over and ate all the goods.

The Ayao had no choice but to continue supplying goods, and then Heart of the Corrupted Skadi ate them all.

This made the Ayao so anxious that they started yelling and screaming, "Are you eating at a buffet here? Why aren't you eating me?"

Seeing this, Heart of the Corrupted Skadi tilted her head, wanting to give Ayao some money, but Ayao didn't recognize money.

So Heart of the Corrupted Skadi had no choice but to pawn Skadi here.

Then, Skadi ate everything too.

Now all those Ayao have come to Xi to complain.

"You can't blame Red T for this." Chen Ran said as he listened to the complaints of the other Ayao. "Last time Little Watermelon, you got up in the middle of the night to eat a midnight snack and ended up showing off all of Red T's treasured food reserves. Red T cried all night."

Evening. "..."

After hearing this, Xi really felt embarrassed to say anything more.

That means we'll just have to let the Ayao suffer a bit more.

The entire 'Seaside Resort Town' is in full swing under the construction of Ayao's... I guess.

That night, although the events of the previous night and this morning had left her feeling weak in the waist and trembling in the legs,

She's sitting cross-legged on the chair now, not entirely because she's stopped caring about her image after sleeping with that scoundrel Chen Ran, but more... well, because she really can't move.

However, Xi wasn't idle either; just as her dear sisters had guessed,

When Xi attained enlightenment and ascended to heaven, she naturally did not forget her brothers and sisters.

So Xi frequently stole glances at Chen Ran, and seeing that Chen Ran indeed had nothing to do,

At most, under Wishdale questioning, "You bastard, you made a life-size figure of Na Xi, but what about mine?", he'd reply, "Next time, for sure."

So Xi took a deep breath and, in a casual, conversational manner, said, "Speaking of which, you lecherous fellow."

"Hmm? What's wrong?" Chen Ran asked, turning around to inquire.

"No matter what, you... you're my man now, so... what about my brothers and sisters... if I want to bring them here... would you... would you agree?"

"It's possible, but are you sure you want to say it at this time Little Watermelon?"

"Huh?" Xi Xian breathed a sigh of relief when Chen Ran answered, but was puzzled by Chen Ran's follow-up question, "Why can't you say it now?"

"Because, Little Watermelon, you're practically whispering sweet nothings in my ear."

Chen Ran said, "Little Watermelon, you're like the kind of person who, right after we've finished, snuggles into my arms and secretly urges, 'My lord, do you know that my sisters are all beautiful, with slender waists and plump hips? Why don't you marry them too, so you can enjoy nightly pleasures?'"

"..."

In the past, when Chen Ran uttered such nonsense, Xi would have been filled with shame and embarrassment, then tried her best to refute him, and finally muttered under her breath, "Who... who would call you 'My Lord'..."

But now, Xi paused for a moment upon hearing this, and then, as if thinking of something, suddenly blushed.

"Little Watermelon, what are you imagining this time?"

"Who, who made up their own imagination? You lecherous scoundrel, don't you dare slander me!"

"Oh right, I wronged you. But speaking of which, Little Watermelon, you and your sister Xiao Niangao not only look nine-tenths alike, but your height and build are almost identical—"

As Chen Ran spoke, he glanced at Xi's chest and said, "Oh, to correct you, it should be that although they are exactly the same, Nian is taller than you, Little Watermelon, but you are older than Nian Little Watermelon."

Evening. "..."

Xi instinctively reached out to cover her chest, but then realized that there was no need for her to cover it; she had already been seen naked.

So Xi peered at Chen Ran with her small eyes, trying to see what this lecherous man was going to say.

"If two people look alike, then if Xiao Niangao wears colored contact lenses, a wig, and changes into the same clothes as you, Little Watermelon... wouldn't she be able to pass for you and impersonate you?"

At this point, Xi clearly started to feel guilty, her eyes darting away.

"Then on the other hand..." Chen Ran continued, "Little Watermelon, if you also wear colored contact lenses, a wig, and dress up as an adult... then Little Watermelon, could you learn from Nian's personality and say things that you would normally be too ashamed to say?"

Evening. "..."

Okay, Xi's gaze is now completely unfocused.

Two people who look alike—that might not seem like much.

Let's put it another way—

How many gameplay modes can the twin sisters unlock?

It's obvious that this seemingly reserved but actually Little Watermelon had been imagining all of this, otherwise she wouldn't be feeling so guilty now.

"I... I thought about it, and I decided against it." Xi stammered, "This is your place after all, and it would be inappropriate for me to make a decision on my own, so... so let my brothers and sisters stay in Terra a little longer."

"No way, Little Watermelon," Chen Ran laughed. "Little Watermelon, don't you want to experience pretending to be an adult, then becoming wanton and chaste, turning a virtuous woman into a slut—"

"Shut up! You lecherous scoundrel, shut up!"

Chapter 302 Little Watermelon, are you interested in your other self?

Put on a virtual suit, and then start letting loose and being yourself—

Believe it or not, this Little Watermelon has actually done something like that before.

The "Mr. Boiling Umbrella" character in "The Person in the Painting" is one of her classic costumes.

Don't let Little Watermelon's thick eyebrows and delicate features fool you. She looks very serious and doesn't seem like she would do anything childish.

But once she puts on the suit, her favorite thing to do is to act as the village chief of the newbie village while posting things like:

"Young hero, in order to defeat the Demon King, you are now needed to go to the village entrance to Ayao's fur, to the village end to help the residents harvest wheat, and to the west end of the village to help unclog a toilet."

Oh, and Old Wang from the east end of the village can't wait to play a game of Gwent with you!

Then, after you've worked yourself to the bone, cleared a ton of side quests, you haven't touched the main quest at all.

Holding a bunch of completely useless junk that only takes up inventory space, I wanted to go to the village chief to turn in a quest and get a Village Good Sword—

The village chief, played by Little Watermelon, directly displays his health bar in front of you.

Where do you find bosses that spawn right at the entrance of the starting village, blocking the fountain?

Sigh, that's exactly what this Little Watermelon does.

So the more detailed Chen Ran's description was, the more guilty Little Watermelon felt, because she had actually done it.

But sneaking around and knowingly committing a crime are two different things.

Even though she had already been intimate with Chen Ran that night, she wasn't shameless enough to directly suggest, "Do you want to play with the twins?"

So no matter how many times Chen Ran said it, Little Watermelon always refused.

They stopped mentioning things like bringing her older siblings here to play.

Chen Ran found it quite a pity.

"What is that lecherous fellow regretting... even though I was the one who brought it up first."

Xi was furious. She squatted down in front of the planet models and poked the Year Beast coiled around her wrist with her fingertip.

"I've seen words about fickleness and a love of novelty written in the sketchbooks of ordinary people."

There are also terms like "three-month adjustment period" and "seven-year itch".

"How could that scoundrel have started eyeing my sister after just one day?"

The Year Beast remained silent, only gnawing on nuts.

Xi wasn't annoyed by this, but that didn't stop her from reaching out and snatching the nut from the Year Beast's hand.

Then she looked around at the bewildered Year Beast, wondering where her nut had suddenly disappeared.

"Although I know that my dear sister is indeed far more shameless than me."

For example, if Chen Ran suddenly said:

"Speaking of which, I've noticed that in anime, the female characters usually have hair that's the same color as their pubic hair. Do you have that too?"

Then suddenly reach out to them—

Xi's reaction would definitely be to blush, slap Chen Ran's dog paw, cover her body with her hands, and say with a mix of shame and embarrassment, "Don't think I don't know what you, you lecherous scoundrel, are up to!"

But what if it were her older sister?

The reaction this year will probably be, 'Hair? What hair? Oh, the ○ hair below? Hey, just say so if you want to see it, stop with all this nonsense.'

Then he unbuttoned her hot pants and pulled them down, saying, "Hey, look for yourself, but let's make this clear beforehand: you can look, but you can't touch me—hey, you really dare to touch me?"

This comparison... could it be that the lecherous man prefers Nian's personality?

"If I were to actually dress up as an adult and go looking for that lecher, could I really pull off that shamelessness?"

"What do you mean, shameless? Little Watermelon, who are you talking about?"

"..."

The sudden sound beside her startled Xi.

Turning her head, she saw Chen Ran staring at her with a curious expression.

"You lecherous scoundrel... Don't you make a sound when you walk?"

"Yes, but you're just too engrossed in your thoughts, Little Watermelon. So, what are you thinking about Little Watermelon?"

"..."

Xi naturally couldn't say that she was thinking about ways to play with the twins or anything like that.

So after a moment of silence, Xi awkwardly changed the subject. "I was just thinking about these planets in front of me. There are so many. Does that mean there is a me and a Year Beast on every single planet?"

"Generally speaking, that's how it is." Chen Ran nodded.

"Generally speaking?"

"Yeah, for example, in the Sea Creatures -ending storyline, Little Watermelon and the others are done for."

"..."

"In the History-Building Worldline, Little Watermelon and the others were sealed away by the Demon King Rabbit as collectibles."

"..."

"And there's the Originium Outbreak Line—"

That's enough.

Xi couldn't help but pinch her brow.

The death of everyone is a very tragic thing, but how come in Chen Ran's mouth, this lecherous man, it sounds like a funny story called "One Hundred Ways to Die of Little Watermelon"?

Oh wait, this lecher can reverse planets and turn back time. Whether people die or not, or how many die... seems to be irrelevant to this lecher.

"What's wrong? Little Watermelon, are you curious about these Worldline?"

Chen Ran asked, "What would your other self be like? Would you live a completely different life? Most people would have this question, but strangely enough, out of all the people I've captured, it seems like only you, Little Watermelon, have this curiosity."

However, this curiosity doesn't bring only good things.

For example, Centaurea was once curious about it, but after seeing her counterpart in another Worldline living an even more miserable life, she was completely stunned and hasn't mentioned it since.
