You are not monster girls!

Chapter 165 Your love is far too heavy (4k two-in-one)

Yun Yifei has always had a dream: to raise an easy-going cat or to have a younger sister who is as emotionally stable as a cat and can provide emotional support.

After spending these few days together, she was pleasantly surprised to find that Xia Li had both qualities, and didn't get any loose hair.

Besides supervising Lin Muran at work, hugging Xia Li and sucking her mouth became an essential part of her daily routine.

Held in her arms, Xia Li felt the back of her head change from a soft, sunken area to a slightly soft, flat surface. She simply twitched her cat ears and then focused her attention on rubbing the glass.

Yun Yifei gently ran her fingers over the warm, slippery inner membrane of the cat's ear and asked with some curiosity, "Isn't Eel Wave just a slime? What other uses could it possibly have?"

"This is no ordinary slime."

Qingyi took the eel wave out of Bai Mengqing's room and placed it on the table. The eel wave, which had been struck by lightning and was sizzling on both sides, looked almost like a twin brother to the bonsai plant.

"This is the fruit of Little Azure Dragon's love."

"."

"Uh, I mean it's the only painting creation of the Little Azure Dragon that has become real."

Seeing Yun Yifei's expression darken, Qingyi immediately changed her tune: "It inherited the characteristics of its master's magic and can freely transform into anything."

"I know this."

She vividly remembered the scene where Bai Mengqing, like a car mechanic, put his head and hands under the female model.

This spirit beast was even more monstrous than she had imagined.

No wonder he was hiding in Lin Muran's closet.

If I get the chance, I'll buy a lock for my younger brother and have him install it.

"So, I tried it out and found that the pitch of the instrument that the eel wave turned into was much better than that of a cheap instrument. So I wanted to try the guitar first. I think your taste is much better than Lin Muran's, and you should be able to hear the problem better."

As Qingyi spoke, she gently tapped the head of the white-eyed, tongue-out eel with her fingertip, reminding it that it was time to transform, but all it got in return was a few twists.

Hiss. Why isn't there any response?

Qingyi tried to infuse the eel with spiritual power twice more, but instead of changing its shape, it produced the "Old Age Figurative Fist".

Hiss~ Ha!! [Is this all you're giving a beggar?]

Bai Mengqing usually drinks 500cc of Xuanmo at a time, while Qingyi drinks less than one ten-thousandth of that, yet she expects it to obey her every command.

Even if Heaven intervenes, it won't make a difference.

"."

When the keycap radar was triggered, Xia Li's ears perked up, and she raised her head.

Seeing this, Manbo changed his expression like a Sichuan opera performer, immediately squinting his eyes and smiling, twisting his waist left and right, and opening his mouth with apricots.

Cluck cluck cluck~ [Sorry, I didn't see you here earlier, sir.]

She was living quite comfortably in this stove, but she never expected that Xia Li would use it as a football and kick it to pieces.

“The spirit creature’s personality really does follow its master.” Qingyi was embarrassed.

Since the haunted house incident, let alone imbuing Manbo with spirit energy, she's like a Super Saiyan 3, constantly leaking energy. In a while, she might not even be able to operate the ancient zither, the magical artifact left by the old master.

"Can things change now?"

*coo coo coo* [It's hard for me to get things done without money!]

Snapped!
Just as Qingyi was having a headache, Xia Li slapped Manbo back into the furnace with one claw, and then pulled him out like a piece of chewing gum.

The continuously stacked dark stripes quickly coalesced into a guitar on the coffee table.

This time, not only Qingyi, but even Yun Yifei, who was holding Xia Li, was frightened by her violent actions.

"Alright, Master, use it now." Emperor Roar said, having finished infusing his spiritual power. Xia Li sat back on Yun Yifei's lap and continued rubbing the glass in her hands.

If Yun Yifei hadn't been so bored that she increased the intensity of her ear-rubbing, she wouldn't have wanted to use her claws.

"You rebellious disciple, where did you get so much spiritual power?"

Qingyi was so surprised that her mouth almost couldn't close.

Xia Li's magic is innate and cannot be actively used or turned off. When she is wandering, she can only cover her eyes with a black cloth to reduce energy consumption.

To put it simply, it's similar to Kakashi's Sharingan.

Logically speaking, the amount of spiritual energy stored should not be more than one's own.

How come a casual shot of the eel wave is so distorted?

"I don't know, I got it after I started following my older brother," Di Hou replied impatiently.

Lin Muran then replied.
Could it be that he has already deciphered the secret manual left by his master?

It seems I really am going to stay at the Lin family's place.

Qingyi knew that Yun Yifei's words asking her to stay were just a polite way of changing the subject. After all, what normal woman would so hastily let her best friend stay at the home of the man she admired?

Unless she's lost her mind.

Xiaoyun is, after all, Lin Muran's older sister, and her intelligence is certainly no less than Lin Muran's.

Qingyi was at a loss, unsure of what reason to use to convince Yun Yifei to let her stay at Lin Muran's house. She couldn't very well try to fool her again this time.
It is not impossible.

Yun Yifei was completely oblivious to Qingyi's change in expression, still immersed in the shock of the eel wave instantly transforming into a shape. She tried to fiddle with it a couple of times and found that it was indeed different from the guitar on her cheek. She then said excitedly, "Besides the guitar, what else can you transform into?"

When Manbo saw Yun Yifei reach out, he recalled the fear of being crushed that day and immediately transformed into a slender, dark-colored Abby, barking at Yun Yifei in his distinctive horse stance.

Woof~
"Never mind, you should just turn back into a guitar."

The cat shape that the eel wave transformed into was accurate, but the coloring details remained unchanged. It looked like a cat version of a violent bear, which was extremely creepy.

I feel it's not as good as a single cat hair on Xia Li's ear.

Woof woof~
Eelbo cried out twice and quickly transformed back into a guitar, then moved to Qingyi's side on its own.

"This arrogant-to-fawning manner is so similar to Lin Muran's."

Qingyi didn't care about being treated differently, but Eel Cat's behavior immediately reminded her of Lin Muran's encounter with Yun Yifei a few days ago.

Whether intentional or unintentional, the birth of a spirit creature like Eel Wave, born from Bai Mengqing Xuanmo, rarely carries the thoughts of its master.

It's hard to imagine what kind of image Lin Muran has in Xiao Qinglong's eyes.

Qingyi's fingertips brushed across the guitar, and after trying it a couple of times, she asked, "Xiaoyun, do you have any simple songs that you would recommend for beginners? My technique isn't very good yet, so I'd like to pick something simple to warm up first."

“I just happened to have saved a tutorial video. Let me find it for you.”

Yun Yifei put Xia Li, who was still engrossed in mobile games, aside and moved closer to her. After scrolling down her favorites a couple of times, she finally clicked on the so-called tutorial video.

I really watch every single one, and I watch three episodes in a row every time!
Qingyi knew Yun Yifei's ID and that she was a die-hard fan, but she didn't expect her to be this die-hard.

Lin Muran only has eight videos of himself taking off, but his account still has a lot of dark history. Even though he now has nearly 50 followers, his views have only increased from 300 to 8000. In the comments section, apart from the bots, there are only comments from the user with the ID "[Rain Made Clouds]".

The video I've saved is a guitar tutorial version of "Sunny Day." Qingyi often hears it playing in shopping malls; it must be a super classic song.

However, she originally thought that the teaching videos Yun Yifei provided to her would be nursery rhymes like "Two Tigers" or "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star".

Unexpectedly, she started playing by following the techniques in the video. Fortunately, Lin Muran had given her a brief explanation of basic music theory beforehand, so reading sheet music wasn't as difficult as before.

At first, she chose to sing and play the guitar to grasp the main melody of the song, with the guitar playing as accompaniment, in order to familiarize herself with the fingering.

The little yellow flower in the story

It's been floating since the year I was born.

Swinging on a swing in childhood

My memories have stayed with me until now.
"Master Qing, your hands look like chicken claws. It will be very tiring to flick your fingers like that."

"Eh"

"Master's playing lacks emotion," Di Hourui commented.

Xia Li, using the sofa armrest as a pillow, tilted her cat ears to the side and continued rubbing the glass with both hands.

Upon hearing this, Yun Yifei also realized this.

Qingyi's voice is beautiful, and apart from occasionally hitting other strings when striking the strings, there are no major problems, but it just feels like something is missing.

"Let me give you a live demonstration, Master Qing."

"Xiaoyun, you know how to play the guitar too?"

"I know a little bit."

Yun Yifei was too embarrassed to look Qingyi in the eye, so she simply tied her hair back in a ponytail and lowered her head to focus on playing the instrument.

The guitar's sound was rich and beautiful, even bringing out the harmonics that Qingyi hadn't mentioned during her performance.

I tried holding your hand on that windy day.
But then the rain got so heavy that I couldn't see you anymore.
How long until I can be by your side

Maybe I'll be better off when the weather clears up

Someone once loved you for a long time

But the wind gradually blew the distance far away

Finally, I can love one more day

There were no lyrics, but for some reason, lyrics automatically filled in Qingyi's mind, along with a strange sense of sadness. As soon as the performance ended, she couldn't help but clap her hands.

Xiaoyun's love is also so heavy.
Why did I say "also"?
Oh well, I was just there for the fun of it.

They just eat and drink for free, and that's it.

"Xiaoyun, you're a hidden gem! You play the guitar so well, can you teach me?"

Qingyi was overjoyed. If Yun Yifei could play the guitar, she could learn an instrument by following her, saving her from having to smell the overwhelming sourness emanating from the little green dragon every day.

Although the sour feeling that came from teasing her was quite amusing.

But if it's too sour, it becomes like old Beijing-style douzhi (fermented mung bean juice).

“The eldest sister plays better than the master,” Di Hou said in a rare tone.

Xia Li finally stopped rubbing the glass, put her phone on the coffee table, and started rubbing her eyes.

"Lin Muran only taught me this one fingerstyle piece, and actually I can't even understand the sheet music very well."

Yun Yifei played this song so smoothly simply because she followed her feelings; she couldn't explain why.

She was able to remember the fingering because Lin Muran taught her step by step. She constantly reviewed the fingering and rhythm every day, and somehow she memorized it.

No?

Is Lin Muran a superhero?
When Qingyi heard Yun Yifei say that, she couldn't help but widen her eyes.

She originally thought that Lin Muran was already amazing enough for being able to guide Xiao Qinglong and Xia Li in drawing and writing scripts while also playing the piano, but she didn't expect that he had also taught them the guitar before.

"Besides guitar and piano, what other musical instruments can he play?"

"He should know a little about all the instruments that the Wooden Cabinet Band uses, and the fa and shiri instruments should be his best skills."

When Yun Yifei said this, the pride in her tone was so undisguised that it made Qingyi's face spin.

Is this the Monster Expert?
The way to tame monsters is to transcend them.

Qingyi was glad that she only had a good impression of Lin Muran, who was almost perfect, but she couldn't say that she liked him.

As the Grand Master of Fate of the Azure Sky Feather, I probably wouldn't like someone who only cultivates himself.

Naturally, he wasn't worried about getting caught up in this chaotic situation.

Now, rather than just enjoying the entertainment, she realized her neglect of her musical practice and that finding a good mentor who understands her and has some musical knowledge is now her top priority.

The only candidate is clearly Lin Muran.

But how to stay became a problem.

Just as Qingyi was practicing guitar absentmindedly, Yun Yifei caught a glimpse of the screen on the phone on the coffee table, which made her heart skip a beat.

That was a fairly well-known anime-style mobile game, which had only been out for a short time. It was the culprit that made everyone's concept of giant thunder go from being slightly smaller than a head to being twice the size of a head—Azur Lane.

On the screen, both the aircraft carrier and the cruiser were so large that they were practically swaying, which could be described as a clear sign of malice towards Yun Yifei.

Judging from the main interface, it seems that the tutorial has just been completed.

Yun Yifei didn't understand why Xia Li suddenly became obsessed with this game. Judging from her attitude towards Bai Mengqing, playing Azur Lane would be more reasonable than playing Azur Lane.

"Xia Li, why are you suddenly playing this?"

Yun Yifei deliberately moved closer to Xia Li and saw that while the other person was switching web pages to check the construction time, they were also frantically trying to catch the current episode's bombshell white-haired mother. Yun Yifei's expression became a little tense.

"I saw it in the comments section, so I clicked on it and gave it a try," Dihou explained to the big sister in an African-speaking tone.

Xia Li's tone remained unchanged, but the little paws clicking to speed up construction were trembling so much they almost dropped the phone.

Comments section?
Did someone tag the official account?
Yun Yifei glanced at Qingyi and noticed that the other was practicing guitar with her head down and didn't need to watch any instructional videos, so she quickly switched to the comment section of Lin Muran's vampire video.

Besides the pinned blue ad link, the profile picture of the second most popular comment below has been changed to "File Little Jiajia," and the blue lightning bolt in the lower right corner clearly proves that it is the real official account of the second game.

【Are you there? 】

Are you there?

Why would someone with a verified blue account post this?
Is it possible?
!!!

Yun Yifei immediately logged into Lin Muran's work email and, sure enough, found an email from Y Chicken among a bunch of Steam ads and bills. The time on the email was exactly two days ago.

This is a request for a commissioned article. Apart from the polite words, the requirements are clearly stated.

She knew that Lin Muran never missed private messages on short video platforms and Bilibili, but his profiles didn't show "business + verified" status, and he didn't have a Weibo account. So, for some reason, the official platform used the email address on his blue profile to send the commission application in the formal format.

Thankfully, the official account went to the video comments section to make a witty remark, otherwise this big client would have been let go by that idiot.

As expected, without me, my brother is still struggling to carry the load alone.

Yun Yifei shook her head with a wry smile and continued scrolling down. After seeing the client's requirements, her vision went black.
