Bibi Dong, are you thinking straight?

Yue Guan tidied up Fang Yuan's quarters. Seeing the two young lords chatting happily, he tactfully offered to take his leave.

"I won't disturb Your Highnesses any further."

With that, Yue Guan withdrew through the front door.

Fang Yuan gave a slight nod in assent. He really did not want anyone disturbing him in a moment.

Little Bibi Dong came up beside Fang Yuan. Remembering the task Grandpa Qian had entrusted to her, she issued an enthusiastic invitation.

"Fang Yuan, Fang Yuan, come on! I'll show you around. Some places are really fun!"

As she spoke, Bibi Dong took Fang Yuan's arm and tried to drag him outside. This time, however, she could not budge him. She turned back in confusion.

Fang Yuan put on a stern expression. "What should you call me?"

Bibi Dong caught on. Pouting, she gave a little huff. "You're so annoying."

"Senior brother~"

Still, she said it with a little hum and tugged on Fang Yuan's arm. "Will that do?"

A smile appeared on Fang Yuan's face, but he still did not agree right away. After all, he had to use the reward he had saved earlier.

"Be a good junior sister and close the door."

Bibi Dong turned toward the door, suddenly realizing that they were alone in the room. Her face flushed slightly.

"S-Senior brother, what are you going to do with the door closed?"

Her heartbeat quickened as she spoke. Her thoughts began running wild of their own accord, and her little face grew rosy.

Fang Yuan gestured with his eyes. "Close it, and I'll tell you."

With her thoughts running wild, Bibi Dong could not help thinking of a secret chamber. She instinctively threw up her hands in a fluster, as though warding him off.

"You can't, senior brother!"

"We're a boy and a girl alone together right now. You can't do anything improper to me! Even... even if we're going to do that, you have to... have to wait until I grow up..."

Fang Yuan: "???"

What was this girl talking about?

Did the Douluo Continent really have some underlying code?

In the Sea of Consciousness, Angel Qian Renxue sneered at the sight. "A love-addled fool will always be a love-addled fool. Little Yuan hasn't even done anything, and she's already won herself over, playing coy while inviting him in. Shameless!"

Rakshasa Bibi Dong: "???"

This unfilial daughter was taking another veiled jab at her!

As Rakshasa Bibi Dong caught on, her chest heaved like rolling waves with fury, and her face rapidly flushed red.

"Unfilial daughter, shut your mouth!"

Just looking at her younger self made her toes curl against the floor in embarrassment. It was utterly humiliating.

Especially since she was raising Fang Yuan as a son. What was her younger self saying now?

No!

I won't allow it!

Thoroughly incensed, Rakshasa Bibi Dong immediately told Fang Yuan, "Little Yuan, spank her and straighten out her thinking!"

Then she realized how inappropriate that was and hastily corrected herself. "No! Let me out! Thinking about such things at her age! I'll deal with her myself!"

How mortifying!

Especially in front of her own daughter. Rakshasa Bibi Dong was practically beside herself with anger.

Fang Yuan did not let Rakshasa Bibi Dong out. Instead, he gave an awkward laugh and changed the subject through a mental transmission. "Aunt Dong was pretty cute as a child."

In the outside world, Fang Yuan raised a hand and flicked Little Bibi Dong's forehead. "What kind of person do you take me for?"

Bibi Dong had her eyes closed, thinking that if Fang Yuan insisted, she would repay him.

The flick hurt her forehead a little. She raised a hand to cover it, looking utterly bewildered, and blurted out instinctively.

"Huh? Weren't you going to secret-chamber me?"

Fang Yuan: "..."

Rakshasa Bibi Dong: "???"

In the Sea of Consciousness, Rakshasa Bibi Dong heard her daughter's snicker, and her face flushed even redder with anger.

"Little Yuan!"

"Let me out! Hurry up and let me out!"

What on earth was her younger self saying?!

And she thought he was going to secret-chamber her, yet she was still acting coy and inviting him in!

Pah!

Rakshasa Bibi Dong was so angry her chest hurt. She could not understand what her younger self was thinking.

Fang Yuan felt rather helpless as well. He explained to Little Bibi Dong, "What's all this talk about secret chambers? I only wanted you to close the door so I could cultivate in seclusion for a while."

"Oh, oh." Bibi Dong understood. Then she realized what she had just said, and her face turned so red that steam was almost rising from her head.

"I... I'll close the door!"

Bibi Dong lowered her head and went to close the door. When she returned, she did not dare meet Fang Yuan's eyes, her gaze darting about.

Fang Yuan did not tease Bibi Dong. He simply sat cross-legged on the spot. "Junior sister, wait beside me for a bit. Once I'm done, you can show me around."

"Mm... okay..." Bibi Dong murmured, her voice as faint as a mosquito's buzz, still not daring to raise her head.

Whenever she thought of her embarrassing behavior just now, she felt utterly ashamed. With her head lowered, she rubbed the hem of her clothes between her little hands while stealing glances at Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan paid no attention to those little movements. To be honest, if Little Bibi Dong liked him, he would neither reject her nor take the initiative.

She was still a child. Although he was a child too, he could not get past that mental hurdle.

Thus, he did not cross any boundaries, thinking he would wait until Little Bibi Dong grew up.

By comparison, Fang Yuan was more interested in Rakshasa Bibi Dong. At least the children would not go hungry.

Fang Yuan closed his eyes, his consciousness entering the Sea of Consciousness. "Aunt Dong, calm down and brace yourself first. I'm about to begin!"

Rakshasa Bibi Dong was still angry. Seeing Fang Yuan appear in the Sea of Consciousness, she wanted to grab the boy and spank him to show her displeasure at his refusal to let her out.

After hearing his words, however, she stopped the hand she had just extended, her expression puzzled.

"You're going to claim your Divine Examination reward? Why do I need to brace myself? Does your reward have something to do with me?"

"Yes, exactly." Fang Yuan nodded, then looked at Rakshasa Bibi Dong with feigned displeasure. "Aunt Dong, what were you about to do just now? Were you going to teach me a lesson?"

Rakshasa Bibi Dong looked embarrassed. She reached out and stroked Fang Yuan's head, her expression gentle.

"Of course not. I like Little Yuan best."

Angel Qian Renxue exposed her from the side. "It looked to me like you were about to pick Little Yuan up."

Facing Fang Yuan's suspicious gaze, Rakshasa Bibi Dong felt a little awkward, but continued denying it.

"Nothing of the sort!"

After a moment's hesitation, she reached out and gathered Fang Yuan into her arms, then kissed him. "See, Little Yuan? I dote on you the most."

Little Yuan was still only a child. There was nothing wrong with a little kiss. Yes, he probably wouldn't get any strange ideas.

That was what Rakshasa Bibi Dong thought. After all, Fang Yuan had seemed quite uncomprehending just now. She felt that the boy was rather innocent.

Angel Qian Renxue's brows knitted at the sight, the teasing expression instantly vanishing from her face. "Just talk! Why do you have to get so handsy?"

Thinking of their intimate gestures made her inexplicably displeased, and her tone carried some anger.

"Shameless! Let go of Little Yuan!"

Noticing her daughter's expression, Rakshasa Bibi Dong immediately realized that this unfilial daughter was upset, and triumph entered her eyes.

"Hmm? What business is it of yours what I do?"

"What's wrong with giving Little Yuan a kiss?"

"I'll kiss him if I want! What can you do about it?"

As she spoke, Rakshasa Bibi Dong planted several more smacking kisses on Fang Yuan's face, deliberately raising her brows at her daughter.

Angel Qian Renxue: "???"

This unmotherly woman was definitely provoking her!

Damn it, my Little Yuan isn't pure anymore!
