Travel · Magic City Arc (Nine): Tonight Belongs to the Moon at Last

Late at night, in the bedroom.

Songlun: That's the arrangement.

Songlun: I will be here waiting for you all at nine o'clock tomorrow morning.

Songlun: [Position]

Xiao Ling: Okay.

Xiao Ling: I will bring my girls to the appointment on time.

After replying to the message, Xiao Ling casually tossed her phone onto her pillow, closed her eyes, and prepared to drift off to sleep.

It's late at night now. After all that commotion last night, everyone was exhausted when they went back to their rooms, and most of them are probably asleep now.

He himself wasn't very tired. After countless physical enhancements, his physique was now much stronger than before, and he had so much energy that he wouldn't feel tired even if he stayed up all night.

However, since he was meeting someone tomorrow, staying up all night before was really inappropriate, so he decided to get a good night's sleep.

But the sudden knocking on the door meant that his plan to go to sleep was doomed to fail.

"Who is it?" Xiao Ling opened her eyes and immediately called out towards the door.

There was no response from outside the door, as if they were waiting for him to come and investigate in person.

Sensing the signal, Xiao Ling quickly rolled out of bed, went to the door, and clicked it open.

"Nobody here?" He looked at the empty corridor with a bit of confusion.

Look to the left? Nobody's there.

Look to the right? Nobody there.

But Xiao Ling always felt that her right eyelid was twitching, as if it were a premonition of something.

So he stretched out his right hand and blocked the pillow that was flying towards his face.

"How is this possible!" Iuno's voice was filled with astonishment. "I hid it very well!"

"My killing intent perception kicked in." Xiao Ling snatched the pillow and saw Iuno's cute, puffed-up face. "What, want revenge for my indecent behavior back then?"

"Guess!" Iuno said with a rising tone at the end, walking into Xiao Ling's bedroom without any hesitation.

Why does your room feel a bit plain?

"I don't like leaving things everywhere, and since we're traveling now, it's easier to pack up later if we take out fewer things."

"I see... that's a very reasonable explanation."

"So, what brings Lady Yu to my bedroom in the middle of the night?" Xiao Ling asked Iuno, who was sitting on her bed, as she leaned against the doorframe.

"What are you saying? Can't I come to see you if there's nothing wrong?" Iuno pouted unhappily, "You just said you'd be waiting for us anytime."

"It's the middle of the night, my Lady Yu, and I have to meet someone during the day," Xiao Ling said helplessly.

I'm so sorry to have disturbed your rest time~

"It's nothing, I'm used to staying up late, losing a little sleep for a short while won't be a problem." Xiao Ling waved her hand. "So, back to the main topic, is there something you need from me at this hour?"

"Nothing, I just can't sleep," Iuno said, resting her chin on her right hand. "Blank, come sit here. I'm not going to eat you."

"But I'm afraid I'll eat you up."

"Pervert." Iuno understood the deeper meaning behind the other person's words and blushed as she cursed him.

Xiao Ling smiled, then walked over and sat down next to Iuno.

After that, a silence fell between the two of them, and neither of them spoke first.

"I mean, staying silent like this is so unlike you, Iuno," Xiao Ling said with a mischievous smile. "Or are you planning to confess to me tonight but haven't quite gotten into the mood yet?"

"Who said I wanted to confess to you!" Iuno kicked him in annoyance.

"Too bad, you should have kicked me in the face this time."

(666 ate and took things without even asking me.)

"You're going to die!" Iuno said in shame and indignation, "How come I didn't realize you were such Blank back then?"

"Now you know."

After the bickering couple had their fun for a while, the atmosphere fell silent again.

Iuno wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to do something, and she actually did.

Her delicate right hand silently climbed up Xiao Ling's left hand and then gently covered it.

She was waiting, waiting for a response, to see if Blank would hold her hand as tightly as it had when it had pulled her out of the chaos.

My heart started pounding uncontrollably, like a drumbeat, a mixture of anticipation and trepidation.

The second hand had clearly only moved a few ticks, but it felt like an eternity had passed.

Then, she heard a very soft laugh, and then four unfamiliar warmths appeared between her fingers.

"Is this how you test me?" Xiao Ling chuckled.

Iuno turned his head and met his smiling eyes, suddenly losing the courage to look him in the eye.

She stammered for a long time without being able to give a coherent answer, and finally turned away from her cheeks, which were already red to the roots of her ears.

"This isn't like you, Miss Genius Yu," Xiao Ling teased. "Besides, when expressing your feelings, shouldn't you look the other person in the eye and say each word carefully?"

"You're not the main character... Of course you can talk like that without knowing the situation..." Iuno's voice was barely audible.

Hajiling thought to herself, "This won't do. Things have come to this point; it would be too unromantic of me not to do something."

So, he used his free right hand to cup Iuno's face, which she had turned away from, and made her look into his eyes again.

"Blank, what are you doing... ugh!"

This time it wasn't just a kiss on the lips or cheek, but a real kiss.

The warmth from her lips sent a whirlwind of excitement through Iuno, leaving her momentarily speechless and unsure how to react.

Fortunately, the kiss didn't last long; it only lasted a few moments before ending abruptly.

Then, Iuno, her head spinning, said something that even she herself thought was stupid.

"Well, I'm going to rest now. You should go to sleep early too..."

Aaaaaaahhhhhh what are you doing, Iuno! Respond! Respond now!

Although that's what she thought afterwards, at the time she just wanted to go back and process the emotions that were about to overflow.

Unfortunately, Hajiling wouldn't let go of the meat that was already delivered to her mouth.

So, just as the genius Lady Yu was about to escape the scene, Xiao Ling pulled her back and pinned her to the bed. Before she could protest, he silenced her with a kiss.

This kiss was more aggressive than before, as if he wanted to devour the lovely woman beneath him completely.

"Blank..." Iuno's eyes were already brimming with tears as she snapped out of the long kiss. Her flushed cheeks and rapid heartbeat were gradually pushing her reason to the brink.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Ling asked in a hoarse voice.

"Be gentle..."

"Yes, my genius Lady Yu."

And so, in a long and passionate kiss, they gradually became honest with each other, and in the moonlight that filled the room, they began their own little serenade.

"Blank ~ Blank ~ Hmm~"

"I am here."

Haha, it seems tonight is a great victory for the moon.
