You are not monster girls!

Chapter 122 Xia Li, please sit down!! (4k)

20 minutes ago, on the sofa in Lin Muran's living room.

The two spirit beasts, having been kicked out, could only occupy opposite ends of the sofa to play on their phones, using the middle as an arena for a showdown between rapiers and greatswords when they were bored.

"I'll sacrifice a hundred years of Xia Li's lifespan, please give me a double act of pleading!!!"

While chanting the incantation that must be memorized for drawing cards, Bai Mengqing stared at the black bag on her phone screen. Her fingertips trembled as she slowly slid open the zipper, and a dazzling white light appeared in the gap.

(⊙x⊙)
Silently zipped up the fly and pretended nothing had happened.

"It's a waste of effort. Emperor Roar has no concept of lifespan, so the sacrifice of ingredients is a waste of effort." Emperor Roar couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Xia Li twitched her ears and deliberately flicked the other dragon's tail with her own to express her strong condemnation of this behavior.

"There's no other way. We can't use Lin Muran's time. Mortals' time is very precious."

Bai Mengqing watched Lin Muran frequently sacrifice the lifespan of the Red Milk Dragon when drawing cards, and she started to imitate him in a similar manner.

However, the results didn't seem to be very good; I didn't get anything even after 30 consecutive draws.

"Instead of this, you should think about what your older brother will think when he sees that the resources are gone. Your older brother only asked you to push through the stages, not to draw cards," Emperor Roar kindly reminded.

"Isn't the most exciting part of the second game just gacha pulls? What's the point of clearing stages?"

Bai Mengqing glanced at the gacha ticket that had been reset to zero, and immediately closed the program: "I'm not playing anymore, it's boring, let's watch TV instead."

She also knew that Lin Muran's purpose in asking her to play these anime-style mobile games was not only to kill time, but more importantly, to learn how to design based on character personalities, stories, and characteristics.

Is this really a game? Why is it so tiring to play?
It doesn't feel as interesting as spying on Lin Muran.

The TV volume was turned down to the lowest setting because Lin Muran was still doing voice-over work; one had to concentrate very hard to hear even a little bit.

Xia Li, a spirit beast with cat ears, is fine, but Bai Mengqing, as a dragon, doesn't have specialized senses, so watching TV is similar to watching a silent film; she can only see people's mouths moving and can't hear the content at all.

It started yawning after a short while, and its tail slumped on the sofa like a dead fish, not even bothering to turn over.

"I said."

"."

"Xia Li?"

"Hmm? Emperor Roar means he's busy and just says so if he has something to say."

"Very busy?"

"."

Bai Mengqing's tail seemed to have triggered some keyword, and the tip immediately rose. She deliberately didn't speak, wanting to wait for the other party to continue, but she didn't hear a sound for a long time.

She looked at Xia Li and saw that the spirit beast was frantically rubbing the glass in its hand, its tail instantly curving into a question mark.

Lin Muran installed the same game for us, didn't she?
Why is she having so much fun?

Bai Mengqing curiously climbed over to the other person's side and found that Xia Li was not playing games, but had opened WeChat and was switching between various conversations.

The phone in Xia Li's hand belonged to Lin Muran, so the WeChat messages she was looking at were naturally also Lin Muran's.
"Oh—you, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, are actually whimpering!!"

Xia Li's ears suddenly perked up. She quickly got up, covered Bai Mengqing's mouth, and pressed her down onto the sofa. Her tone remained unchanged, showing no fluctuation despite the urgency of her actions.

"Shh, don't let our elder brother notice," Emperor Roar said in a panic.

"As the guardian spirit beast of the sect, how can you be so selfish? This violates the virtues of a beast, do you know that?!"

Bai Mengqing looked serious, her tone even conveying a sense that you'd done something terribly wrong: "You don't want Lin Muran to know you were spying on his privacy, do you?"

"What kind of ingredients do you want?" Di Hou asked guiltily.

Xia Li's cat ears drooped, but she didn't stop rubbing her fingers on the glass.

Her mentor said that communication on QQ is more authentic than on WeChat, so she had been secretly looking at Lin Muran's WeChat chat history.

Xia Li knew her actions were despicable. If the dragon betrayed her, Lin Muran's goodwill towards her would plummet, and repairing the relationship would be incredibly difficult.
So we need to quickly find out more of the boss's dark history, so that even if the other party doesn't like us, we can still threaten the boss to be our underling.

"How about it."

Bai Mengqing suddenly changed her expression, stretched out her long legs, and sat down next to Xia Li: "Good things should be shared, of course. Quickly summarize what dirt you've seen on him."

Xia Li has already exposed most of her dirty secrets, so this is a rare opportunity, and with an experienced person like Xia Li by her side, she absolutely cannot miss it.

"."

Does spending too much time together really lead to a decline in intelligence?
Xia Li twisted her cat ears left and right, somewhat speechless at the dragon's antics.

She suddenly realized that having that thought just now was one of the signs of intellectual decline.

On the bright side, if Lin Muran really discovers that he's been peeking at the chat logs, having a dragon to draw attention to him might not be such a bad thing.

"No, it was all normal conversation, no women involved," Di Hou said with a sigh of relief.

Why are you relieved?

"The air is a bit stuffy," Emperor Roar said calmly.

"Do you have any chat logs with ordinary women?" Bai Mengqing had heard that ordinary people can behave very differently online and offline.

Lin Muran appears aloof and uninterested in women offline, but is he completely different online?

If so, that would be really interesting, and it could even be used as leverage to make him automatically replenish his spicy snacks whenever he wants.

“There is one,” Dihou said hesitantly.

"have a look."

Xia Li glanced around and found that only the one with the nickname "Female Demon" looked like a woman, so she pulled it up.

"The corner of the ingredient is poking me," Emperor Roar said with a look of disgust.

"There's a glare when you look at it from the side; how can you see it without getting close?"

"Then I suggest you stand the ingredients up and look at them from top to bottom," Emperor Roar said speechlessly.

"Standing up is so tiring. I've got it, you stand up for a second!!"

After Xia Li got up, Bai Mengqing sat in the innermost seat where Xia Li had originally been, patted the empty space she had specially left in the middle, and gestured for Xia Li to sit there.

The biggest feeling Bai Mengqing experienced from being in human form for a long time was that she always had inexplicable backaches and shoulder pains, so she would never sit if she could lie down, and she would never stand if she could sit.

If the side corners are too hard to reach, and it's too tiring to stand up to see, then why not learn from Lin Muran and let Xia Li sit on her lap? That way, she can still see the corners without having to remove them. It's a win-win situation.

"."

Seeing that Xia Li had been staring at her for a long time without saying anything, she patted the sofa again and said, "Xia Li, please sit down."

The motivation derived from exploring Lin Muran's scandals makes even the suppression of bloodlines seem laughable.

Xia Li looked at Bai Mengqing's most eye-catching two breasts, adjusted her sunglasses, turned around, and like a cat, slowly probed the sofa with her buttocks before finally sitting on the edge to avoid touching her head or the part she least wanted to touch.

"The phone is too far away, move it closer."

Seeing that Xia Li was holding her phone quite far away, Bai Mengqing pulled her, who had been keeping a distance, into her arms and rested her chin on Xia Li's head, finally able to see the content on the screen. "She-devil?"

She was somewhat curious that there could actually be someone in this world whom Lin Muran called a demon.

"She's probably the only mortal woman that Brother can confirm on WeChat," Emperor Roar said uncomfortably.

Feeling the soft warmth on the back of her head and the rhythm of her heartbeat, Xia Li held onto her sunglasses, which were almost crushed off, with one hand, and tilted her head slightly to one side to prevent them from sinking in again.

She preferred to lean on Lin Muran, who was blocking her way, rather than Bai Mengqing, who was blocking her way.

"Hurry up and open it to take a look." Bai Mengqing was a little impatient.

Xia Li dared not nod, but could only tap the dragon with her tail to signal the start.

Xia Li found the female demon from her contacts, so she only just saw the chat content there.

"Shouldn't Lin Muran be unleashing his beastly instincts or striking hard? I didn't expect him to be so consistent, not saying a word."

Bai Mengqing couldn't help but complain when she saw the chat conversation, which had barely any words. But Xia Li felt more and more uneasy.

Most of the chat content above consists of voice call durations, often starting at 40 minutes, and each time it is initiated by the other party.

It's obvious that the other party is much more powerful than Lin Muran, and their identity must be extraordinary.

"This female demon actually transferred money to Lin Muran."

As Xia Li scrolled down the chat history, Bai Mengqing immediately saw the orange-yellow transfer message.

Looking at the date, it was when Lin Muran had just arrived here, a time when she was most short of money.

Even the Fate Master of Azure Cloud Feather might not have such influence to receive help from a demon in his time of need.

Why is the rent listed? Isn't the place Lin Muran is currently living in rented?

After a brief brainstorming session, she instantly realized that the rent was also obtained by leveraging Lin Muran's influence.

No wonder Lin Muran always said she was about to run out of money to pay the rent, but she still took me shopping for clothes and eating delicious food.

So that's what happened.

Lin Muran truly lives up to his reputation as a mushroom expert; his face is probably only comparable to that "face-saving fruit."

Bai Mengqing secretly decided to elevate Lin Muran's status from servant to "gold-level servant," or perhaps skip a level altogether.
But why does Lin Muran always speak like a timid, rebellious human child, as if he himself had made a mistake and was talking to him?

Could this guy be far stronger than Lin Muran?

As expected of a female demon
But it's okay, I'll use my claws.

If he could defeat this woman called the "female demon," then Lin Muran would truly submit to him, serving him like a submissive wife, and he could reach the pinnacle of his life.

Hehe ~
Just as she was immersed in her fantasy, she suddenly felt a strange sensation in her chest. Xia Li didn't know why, but she suddenly raised her head and looked in the direction of the studio before quickly lying back down.

"What are you doing?"

"It's nothing. Emperor Roar just said this to prevent Big Brother from secretly sneaking behind the ingredients and scaring people."

"Alas!"

Bai Mengqing was so startled that she turned around abruptly. After confirming that Lin Muran hadn't come out, she breathed a sigh of relief: "Phew, don't suddenly say such scary things, okay? What's wrong with you?"

"Emperor Roar knows his mistake. Emperor Roar sincerely apologizes to the ingredients." Xia Li droops her ears and touches her reddened left cheek with one hand.

Bai Mengqing suddenly turned around and, without warning, delivered a heavy blow to Xia Li's cheek, almost knocking her sunglasses off.

She vowed never to joke about being so close to the dragon again.

"To know one's mistakes and be able to correct them is of utmost importance."

Although Bai Mengqing didn't know what the other party was talking about, she was willing to accept Xia Li's apology.

"I suggest the ingredients lie still and not move, this will help relax your shoulders," Emperor Roar suggested.

"You're actually quite kind."

Xia Li lay on the slime she loathed, looking at the rent transfer on her phone and the subsequent chat where Lin Muran showed off the rent payment. She felt like she had discovered something incredible.

The impact was no less severe than the day one ascended to immortality, when the lightning struck not the master, but oneself.

That means my status in the family will decrease by 1.

The owner of the empty room in the older brother's room is actually the woman on WeChat called "She-Devil," who is the ordinary woman he brushed past at the coffee shop entrance that day.

In the chat logs that Bai Mengqing didn't see, the female demon repeatedly asked her older brother to call her "sister." Although her older brother seemed very unwilling, he still pretended to call her "Sister Yun."
The one who can suppress the eldest brother is the strongest person in this family.
I should be prepared to take the bullet for my older brother first.
Xia Li silently marked Yun Yifei in her mind, turned off her phone screen, and felt the pressure on her head become even more intense.

The last time she felt this kind of pressure was when her mentor told her to do a zero-cost survival challenge and took her to rummage through the community's garbage cans.

"You absolutely mustn't tell Big Brother about Ingredients. We're all in this together now," Emperor Roar said earnestly to Ingredients.

"why?"

Bai Mengqing felt that there was nothing particularly explosive in it. She was just a female demon, not Lin Muran's lover, so there was absolutely no need to hide anything.

"The ingredients themselves say that it's wrong to peek into someone's privacy," Emperor Roar repeated.

Bai Mengqing looked puzzled: "It's not a big deal, is it?"

Lin Muran had said that if he didn't understand something, he could ask her directly. She was just a woman. The person who called him when he was playing with the toilet that day was probably this female devil. It's not like they had no connection at all.

"For example, it's fine if you take a bath by yourself, but what would the ingredients think if your older brother watched you bathe or bathed with you?" Emperor Roar asked seriously.

"Take a bath?!"

An indescribable image suddenly flashed through Bai Mengqing's mind. Her pretty face flushed red, and she protested, "That...that's definitely not allowed! How can I just show my belly to anyone?!"

If I absolutely have to take a bath with Lin Muran, then at least I have to make her turn back into her original form.

At least his abdomen could remain completely flat on the ground and wouldn't be visible.

Now, the tail can't be hidden at all!!!

Moreover, it was a bit awkward to take off my clothes in front of Lin Muran.

"What does this have to do with taking a bath?!"

“Seeing yourself and knowing that others are seeing you are two different feelings,” Emperor Roar explained.

"I see."

Bai Mengqing muttered to herself, she hadn't expected to find so many interesting details in a chat log.

Human emotions are truly complex.
Although Xia Li couldn't understand this feeling, seeing Bai Mengqing blush, she knew she hadn't said anything wrong:
“Just like our eldest brother never goes shirtless in front of us, so the ingredients must be kept secret,” Dihou added.

shirtless.
"Wait a minute, I suddenly realized something!!" Bai Mengqing suddenly tightened her body, squeezing Xia Li tightly.

"You've been here so long, have you seen Lin Muran take off her clothes?"
