I Have to Keep Myself in Check Tonight!

Lin Luo released her, and asked with a mixture of emotion and helplessness:

Do you know what a girlfriend is?

Hong Chen only thought for a second or two before replying without hesitation, "Is she your female friend... like Xue Fu? I want to be like Xue Fu."

Lin Luo rubbed his forehead; just as he had guessed, Hong Chen had indeed interpreted it that way.

"What's wrong? Is it not allowed?"

Hong Chen asked, his mood low.

Lin Luo waved his hand. "Of course, but I need to tell you something."

"My reason for making you my girlfriend is that I hope we can spend most of our time together, and when I return to the palace, you can come back with me."

Hong Chen nodded happily, seemingly very much in agreement with these requests.

But Lin Luo's next words surprised her.

"I hope that spending more time together will give you a sense of security. You should know that if you can't solve a problem, tell me, and I can."

Lin Luo stared into her eyes, hoping she would understand his hint.

So what if she's the Silver Dragon King? If she comes out again, I'll still beat her to a pulp.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the Silver Dragon King is lurking nearby at this moment.

Her current strength is undoubtedly unquestionable, but Lin Luo has a trump card: the system.

"Do you understand?"

Lin Luo asked her in a low voice.

Hong Chen hesitated, then nodded slightly. This little fox was just inexperienced and a bit naive, but not really stupid.

She naturally realized that Lin Luo had discovered her identity.

Their current cover-up is merely for the Silver Dragon King's benefit.

I want to sleep on the floor next to your bed tonight!

Hong Chen suddenly stood on tiptoe and said expectantly.

Lin Luo chuckled and patted her head, "You said it yourself, you're Soul Master with a fox Martial Soul, not a fox. If you're going to sleep, sleep on the bed."

Looking at that innocent and harmless face, Lin Luo added appropriately, "It's just lying on a bed."

"May I?"

Hong Chen tapped his fingers expectantly yet nervously.

Lin Luo glanced at her. "If you want to sleep on the ground, then turn into a fox."

"I... I'm not a fox! I'm Soul Master!"

Lin Luo walked towards the palace, and she followed behind, arguing as she went.

"Oh, you're done chatting?"

Qian Renxue hadn't returned to her room yet when she saw the two of them appear, and she teased them with a playful expression.

Lin Luo: "We had a brief chat. If there's nothing else, I'll take her to rest now."

After saying that, Lin Luo took Hong Chen's hand and headed towards her room.

"Huh? What's going on?!"

Qian Renxue reacted as if startled, quickly pulling their hands apart and looking at Lin Luo with a questioning gaze. "It's the girl's first time here, and you're really not being polite, taking her to your own room right away?"

Hong Chen explained, "We just slept together."

"..." Qian Renxue.

Lin Luo smirked, leaned close to Qian Renxue, and whispered, "It's confirmed to be Xiao Hong. What could I possibly do to Xiao Hong? Don't worry, she wants to stay with me tonight."

Qian Renxue was slightly taken aback.

It's actually confirmed that it's Xiao Hong?

Although she had many questions she wanted to ask... Qian Renxue looked up and said, "Then let's sleep together?"

Lin Luo's expression remained blank for a few seconds.

Before he could react, Qian Renxue happily took one of them by the hand and headed towards Lin Luo's room.

Upon encountering Ye Lingling and Xue Lian on the road, Qian Renxue casually remarked, "Lingling, I won't be going over tonight."

"Ah?"

Watching the three figures leave, Ye Lingling's mouth was half-open, and she didn't react for a long time.

What are these three up to...? Their relationships seem so complicated.

"The bed seems a bit small; there's not enough room for three people. Maybe I should just sleep on the floor."

Upon arriving at Lin Luo's room, Hong Chen looked at the bed and became conflicted.

Lin Luo then looked at Qian Renxue, expressing his dissatisfaction with his eyes, as if to say, "Why did you come along to join in the fun?"

Qian Renxue retorted with a glare.

She said, "It's alright if we squeeze in." Seeing Hong Chen hesitate, she pushed the girl towards the bathhouse, saying, "Come on, let's take a bath first."

As she passed Lin Luo, Qian Renxue said irritably, "You, go to my room and get two nightgowns. I'm warning you, don't peek!"

Lin Luo remained silent.

Is this how you talk to your son?

I peeked.

He went to Qian Renxue's room, but he didn't dare to rummage through Qian Renxue wardrobe. After all, Ye Lingling was staring intently at him, and who knew what kind of mess their wardrobes were in right now?

Lin Luo: "Could you please pick out two nightgowns, something a bit conservative?"

Ye Lingling silently shook her head. "Maybe not."

Lin Luo: "?"

He frowned. "Then let's go with something relatively conservative... I'm really impressed."

Ye Lingling chuckled to herself as she rummaged through the wardrobe.

After handing the two pieces of clothing to Lin Luo, she reminded him with ill intent, "Lin Luo, you need to control yourself tonight."

"Roll."

Lin Luo couldn't bear to look at either of the dresses, so she grabbed them and left.

Back in the room, Lin Luo could already hear the sound of splashing water from the bathtub. She walked over and handed the clothes to him through the curtain.

"I brought it."

A pale, white hand reached out from behind the curtain, its fingers grabbing at Lin Luo Lin Luo's arm a few times before suddenly slapping it hard before taking the clothes inside.

It's obvious without even guessing that this is Qian Renxue.

The conversation behind the curtain abruptly stopped.

Qian Renxue seemed to mutter a curse under her breath before finally quieting down.

Not long after, the two walked out from inside, dressed in revealing clothes. Lin Luo couldn't bear to look at them; just one glance filled him with immense guilt.

He lay down, his back to the two of them, and muttered, "I need to find some time to buy some normal clothes."

This was said to Qian Renxue.

She said helplessly, "Today is a special occasion; I wouldn't normally wear this out."

Her voice came from beside me; she must have been sleeping in the middle of the bed.

"You brat, aren't you dirty? You go to bed without taking a bath?"

After Qian Renxue finished speaking, she leaned over to Lin Luo's neck and sniffed, then frowned and said, "You smell like sweat. I really want to kick you off the bed. But I'll sleep in the middle, so Hong Chen won't find you repulsive."

Hong Chen: "I don't mind, I can't smell anything."

"You can smell it as soon as you get close... Hey, you actually got up to smell it?"

Qian Renxue pressed Hong Chen down.

The small bed was very cramped, and Lin Luo was huddled inside with his back to them. He had originally planned to chat with Hong Chen, but with Qian Renxue getting involved, he didn't even want to turn around.
