Chapter 196 Sleeping Together Under the Same Blanket (6700 words)

By the time they returned from the underground factory, almost everyone in the hotel was asleep.

Jiang Si put away her mask, lightly jumped from the backyard to the fourth-floor balcony, and prepared to enter the room from the balcony.

His main task in coming to South China with Coco was to find Xilan.

The other is to get your hands on the witch's potion.

It's not just about needing a ton of ready-made witch potion; it's also about the method for manufacturing the witch potion.

To break free from the situation where they are being held hostage by the Witch's Guild headquarters.

However, this cannot continue. Since we cannot find the headquarters of the Witch's Guild, we cannot obtain many things from them.

For example, the method of creating the Calamity Egg.

I had previously obtained it from Chi Lian in Jiangming City, but that was just a memory.

After creating it, that memory disappeared, and he was no longer able to create more Calamity Eggs.

The Witch's patented memory control system is indeed very useful; it allows the technology to be distributed without worrying about leaks.

The head of the witch's guild in each city exchanges these technologies for their own contributions and money, and can also generate revenue to ensure sufficient funds...

Therefore, for Jiang Si, finding the headquarters of the Witch Society is the most important thing.

The technology for permanently creating Calamity Eggs, research on Lament Seeds, and development materials for various witches and magical girls.

For Jiang Si, these are all good ways to improve.

To reach the Witch's Guild headquarters, securing the position of vice president is crucial.

Only the vice president is qualified to go to the Witch Association's headquarters.

For Jiang Si, who had experience in creating two massive organizations, the Qingyun Sect and the Holy Hall, building her own team in the Witch Society and competing with Jialan for the position of vice president was a piece of cake.

The first time is unfamiliar, the second time is familiar, and the third time is as easy as turning one's hand.

In the end, how many organizations has the so-called veteran powerhouse of the Witch's Guild, Garan, actually established?
Judging from the general level of wisdom of the Light Garan, if he can manage to become the team leader, he will definitely get a perfect score of 100.

But at best, it's only a hundred points.

The realm of mortals.

And what level of wisdom does Jiang Si possess?

120 points? 180 points? No matter how high the score is, it cannot describe the true value of super intelligence!
Moreover, if you add in command, operation, talent identification, talent utilization, vision, and even potential for immortality, even without super intelligence, the score will not be lower than three thousand.

In conclusion, Jialan's experience is far too inexperienced to compare with that of the leader of the two major organizations.

Therefore, Jiang Si was not worried at all about vying for the position of vice president, especially since he had plenty of money now.

To control subordinates, all you need is intimidation and rewards. You have neither strength nor money, so who in this witch's society can stop you?
Even taking over the chairmanship wouldn't be out of the question...

If we take over the entire Witch's Guild, we can get back double the money.

While planning for the future, he walked into his room, turned on the light, and took off his clothes to go to sleep.

Then I saw two girls already lying on the bed.

Yinlian lay there stiffly like a zombie, her eyes tightly closed, but her eyelashes trembled as she closed them so tightly.

Coco, on the other hand, was sleeping soundly, hugging his pillow, and smiling foolishly as she dreamt of something.

However, what's called a bed is actually a wooden floor made of a certain type of cedar wood. The so-called bed is just a makeshift bed on the floor – the huge makeshift bed covers the entire room like a carpet, which is also the hotel's selling point in South China. It is said that the cedar wood, made of thousand-year-old cedar wood, has the effect of regulating the body and ensuring sleep.

It can also increase luck and bring about sweet dreams.

As we all know, businesses will say anything, no matter how ridiculous, to advertise. If a piece of wood could have so many effects, then hospitals wouldn't need to exist...

"Thousand-year-old cedar? How come he has never seen a thousand-year-old cedar in all his years in Beihai?"
This shows how rare it is. Has the shop owner ever even touched a thousand-year-old cedar tree before, and that's how they advertise it?

To find genuine thousand-year-old cedar wood, you have to go to places like the Dragon Ridge Caves, Insect Valley, Earth Immortal Village, and Kunlun Divine Palace, and follow Master Hu to snatch it from the hands of the thousand-year-old giant pig's trotter!
I sat down against the wall, and aside from anything else, the temperature of the wood was indeed quite nice.

It's not very cold, nor does it feel stuffy.

A refreshing coolness.

When we get back, we can also tidy up the cave dwelling. The Qingyun Sect has developed to this point, and the cave dwelling should be upgraded as well.

We can't neglect our business, otherwise if people from other sects come to visit and see how shabby our cave dwelling is, we'll probably be bullied again.

If even a small inn can use thousand-year-old cedar wood, then the Qingyun Sect should use the best.

Get some ancient Phoebe zhennan wood!
Nanmu wood tables, nanmu wood chairs, nanmu wood mourning halls, nanmu wood memorial tablets, nanmu wood screens, nanmu wood lamps, and the like.

As for how to obtain the ancient Phoebe zhennan wood, just trust the rock sugar.

"Why are you sleeping in my room?" Jiang Si didn't bother with Coco, who was already asleep.

This girl is used to sleeping on a makeshift bed in her room at home, so the hotel she booked this time was just right for her.

There shouldn't be any problems getting up to sleep.

Yinlian, who had her eyes tightly closed, took a deep breath and finally opened them.

When she turned to look, Jiang Si, who had taken off her shirt, made her close her eyes again.

Then he secretly opened one eye and looked over.

Because Jiang Si is not tall, but has a lot of muscles, he looks ridiculously strong.

She was very clean, which showed that she cleaned herself frequently, but her skin wasn't very fair.

Even without any physical presence, the visual effect alone evokes a sense of oppressive heat, as if one could faintly smell the sweat.

However, in reality, Jiang Si did not sweat. The warm wood in the room would not allow the scent of sweat to travel that far.

Yinlian, her heart pounding like a deer, kept searching for adjectives to describe it.

Hormones?
Big Fennis? Mambarin or some kind of masculine aura...

In short, I don't understand. She reads fewer romance comics than Coco, so I can't find any words to describe it.

Lying stiffly on the floor, he tried to tug at Coco, attempting to wake his friend.

However, Coco simply turned over and went back to sleep soundly.

You said you were coming to Jiang Si's room to chat, but you just fell asleep and left me all alone!

Stupid Coco!

"I, I, am asleep now..."

What am I talking about?!
Jiang Si stood up, intending to pick up the two girls and throw them out.

Yinlian sat up with a "thud," exclaiming, "I'm awake!"

After sitting up abruptly, he was almost pressed against Jiang Si, and he could finally smell Jiang Si's scent clearly.

There was no smell of sweat or hormones; instead, there was the smell of machine oil and steel from a factory.

It smells nice...

Subconsciously shifting her bottom back, almost touching Coco, she looked at Jiang Si who was squatting down and said, "We just wanted to come and chat with you."

"What do you want to talk about?"

"Coco said she hopes you can watch her match and wants you to see her skills..."

As they talked, and things calmed down, Yinlian looked at Jiang Si's neck.

The Miracle Seed necklace that was hanging there before is gone.

"After all, Miss Shion taught her a lot, so I want you to see the results."

Jiang Si simply said "Oh" and didn't say anything else.

He was indeed very interested in how strong Coco was now.

He could hardly beat Yu Mo in a fight, and it was hard to tell exactly how much she had improved. This was a great opportunity for him.

Moreover, the numerous promotional posters and projections I saw along the way in South China, along with the enthusiastic discussions among the citizens, made me wonder if this opportunity would lead to the birth of a magical treasure, the emergence of a celestial being, or some other wondrous object from heaven and earth.

“Coco was worried that you had disappeared again, which is why she was sleeping here. I’m also a little worried that you and Ziyuan may have gone to a dangerous place again.”

"No."

Seeing that she seemed to want to have a long chat, Jiang Si simply lay down. Anyway, the floor mat was already made, the light was turned off, and she just needed to cover herself with the blanket.

Let her ramble on; she's not threatening us anyway.

Moreover, Yinlian's voice is very soft and gentle, which sounds very hypnotic.

It's a great ambient sound to use as a sleep aid.

After the last battle, Jiang Si placed her in the safe zone.

Silver Lotus's magic excels at dealing with large-scale calamity beasts and waging protracted wars.

His one-on-one burst damage isn't enough, and he doesn't have many skills. He's already fallen behind Coco.

This "Absolute Demon Hunt Battle Royale" tournament clearly poses no threat to Coco.

Of the people who have come so far, only An Shiyu is truly threatening. After all, if Mu Jin were to fight in her place, Coco might not be a match. Now that Mu Jin is using An Shiyu's body, her spatial magic is becoming increasingly fluid, and her combat experience is also quite good.

Let alone Coco, there aren't many in the Qingyun Sect who can easily handle this.

Fortunately, Hibiscus itself has a mental imagery domain, and An Shiyu hasn't reached the seedling stage yet, so there's no need for her to compete for a spot in the mental imagery domain.

The magical girls from Beihai who acted together this time are basically no threat. The rest depends on what powerful magical girls from South China have.

Although it's a new map and the overall strength has increased, Coco, who possesses both Yin and Yang paths, can't guarantee winning the championship if she unleashes the full power of her Holy Light Demon Collapse Body. After all, once the strength increases, no one knows if Coco will make a bad move, as she lacks practical experience.

But finishing in the top three should be no problem.

Following the lying-down Yinlian, it carefully wriggled and moved to Jiang Si's side.

Although I was a little nervous, I just kept imagining what my older sister looked like in my mind.

The tension and anxiety will disappear without a trace.

My older sister is the best tranquilizer.

Especially when facing Jiang Si.

"Jiang Si..."

"Ah."

"I don't want to avenge my sister, nor do I want to become enemies with Ziyuan for her sake."

"Ah."

“My parents say I’m a heartless person.” Yinlian curled up, her toes carefully curling up and pressing down on Jiang Si’s bedding. “I’m an ungrateful wretch, so I’ve been desperately trying to prove that I’m not. I tell myself that even if my sister did something wrong, she was still very good to me. Others can hate my sister, but I can’t hate her.”

"But I can't do it. I feel no hatred for the person who killed my sister, nor do I think about revenge or even want to get close to her."

Yinlian clenched her hands and put them to her mouth, "It's really annoying..."

The room fell silent.

Yinlian really wanted to touch Jiang Si's body, but because the lights were off, she felt like she was facing thin air.

She was afraid that when she confided in someone, no one would listen, but she didn't have the courage to reach out.

always like this.

He's only half-baked at everything he does.

Love is fleeting and confused, hate is hesitant and timid.

He probed for other people's opinions, yet dared not speak out directly.

"really."

After the other person agrees with her and admits to the matter, she will become depressed and sad on her own again.

"When you regain your magical girl powers."

Jiang Si's voice came from the side, making Yinlian's eyes widen, "You said you hated your sister."

Inside the quiet room, the cool moonlight shone down, and Yinlian, lying on her side on the bed with her back arched, muttered, "So you heard me back then."

And surprisingly, he still remembers it.

"They were shouting too loudly."

"Ah ha ha."

Are you scared?

"Ah."

"What are you afraid of?"

Of course, it's because I'm afraid of being disliked.

She was afraid of being seen as ungrateful, as a heartless ingrate, and as a cold-hearted girl.

The opinions and judgments of others are terrifying, especially Jiang Si's views, which Yinlian cares about immensely.

"Would you hate me for being like this?"

Yinlian stretched out her body and slightly propped herself up. The moonlight was gradually obscured by the dark clouds, and the room was plunged into darkness again: "Even for Ziyuan, who killed my sister, I can't bring myself to hate her. I want to be friends with her. Even though we haven't known each other for long, I've gradually come to feel that she's more important than my sister. Do you think I'm disgusting?"

The first time I spoke frankly, I no longer probed gently and cautiously, but asked clearly and directly.

Then came a deathly silence, like waiting for a verdict, which made Yinlian hold her breath.

The unusual chirping of insects came from outside the window, so loud it made my ears hurt, while my hands, which were braced on the warm wood of the floor, were trembling with cold.

“Dead people don’t count as people.” After Jiang Si spoke, she suddenly felt her hands lose strength and she numbly collapsed to the ground.

The pale moonlight peeked through the clouds, outlining the contours of the boy's face.

Yinlian, lying on the floor, peeked out with one eye, which curved like a crescent moon. "I see."

Everything suddenly became clear, and something quietly disappeared from her heart. She let out a sigh of relief.

"Jiang Si".

"Ah."

"I like aster."

"Oh."

"I really like her desire to change her surname for her."

Oh, I see. I want to recognize another older sister.

He had heard of the "recognizing a father" phenomenon in online novels, where people would recognize fathers or masters everywhere, asking their masters to fight for them, cultivate for them, and lend them their names and wisdom when they sought enlightenment.

I reckon Yinlian is thinking the same way: the "sisterhood" approach, having multiple "sisters" to fight for her.

The black dragon also recognized its mother.

Unfortunately, Jiang Si is already tired enough with her sister Coco, and doesn't want another sister.

If she were called Li Li, it would be worth considering; she could steal a portion of the karma from Ancestor Jiang Li. But her name isn't Li Li.

So, there was nothing more to say, and I just decided to go to sleep.

I don't know how much time had passed, maybe an hour? Or perhaps two hours.

Silver lotus is no longer recognizable.

She cupped her face in her hands, gazing at the boy who, under the moonlight, was as cold and hard as a plaster statue.

All was silent except for the pounding of my own heart.

The moonlight painted his lips, making them sharp and defined, neither moist nor dry.

She gently pressed her hand to her chest, afraid that the deafening pounding of her heart would wake someone else.

"Should we...?"

Before he could finish speaking, a beautiful face suddenly appeared in front of him.

They stood between her and Jiang Si.

Blinking, Yinlian gazed at that exquisite face that momentarily captivated her.

"That's enough, going any further would be a foul."

An Shiyu revealed a devilish smile, "We can't allow anyone to break the rules."

Yinlian snorted, about to complain.

Suddenly, a "smack" sound came from the doorway.

The tightly closed door was accidentally opened.

Peony and Susan stumbled in from outside the door.

"Hey, I told you not to push me, now look what's happened, you're pressing down on me!"

"You were the one who insisted on coming to see this..."

The two girls, who had scrambled to their feet in a panic, started blaming each other. Yinlian covered her face, "Why are you two here too?!"

"I just happened to be passing by and heard the noise." Susan said expressionlessly.

"I came over to check on Susan when I saw her," Peony immediately shifted the blame.

Just as An Shiyu was about to say something, Jiang Si sat up behind her.

The cold words made all four girls shiver for a moment:
"You guys aren't sleepy, are you?"

"Yes, the competition is tomorrow," Peony said immediately. "I'm so nervous, I can't sleep, right?"

An Shiyu, Yinlian, and Susan all nodded in tacit agreement.

“Perfect timing.” Jiang Si put on her clothes. “I know a little about hypnosis, I can help you out.”

An Shiyu, who was closest to the victim, didn't even have time to react before a chop to the back of her neck struck her, and she fell peacefully asleep in an instant.

Looking at the three remaining people who were staring at each other in bewilderment, Jiang Si said calmly:
Good night, everyone.

"Wait……"

"don't want……"

"Can I choose to lie on my back?"

Three seconds later, the room finally fell into the tranquility that night should have.

Coco rolled over and put one leg on the extra large pillows.

……

Early in the morning, the staff came to the third floor to start cleaning.

Many customers left early, eager to go out and have some fun.

Therefore, the cleaning of the guest rooms started earlier today, so that she could finish cleaning sooner and catch up on the live broadcast of the competition.

When I got to the fourth floor, I saw the door of the second to last room, room 404, open, and a primary school student came out, staggered to the next room, opened the door, and went inside.

The waiter paused for a moment, then glanced at room 404 again.

Wait a minute? Wasn't that a boy living there? She had a good memory; 404 was a boy, and quite handsome at that.

This guy is going to hit a primary school student, isn't he?!

A chill ran down my spine, and I glanced again at the elementary school girl. She was a very cute little girl with a bright red face.

There's definitely something fishy going on!
The thought of calling the police suddenly came to mind.

Before she could even pick up her phone, she saw two more girls come out of the room, both of them swaying unsteadily.

They were all super cute girls, but their complexions weren't very good; they looked like they hadn't slept well.

"I told you not to call me, not to call me! It's all your fault, Susan!"

"You couldn't help it, so don't yell."

Both of them looked exhausted, as if they had been up all night!

We slept together under the same quilt!

The experienced waiter immediately made a judgment.

Holy crap, he looks decent enough, but he's up to no good.
Just as I was wondering what the boy was doing, a beautiful girl came out from inside.

They even smiled and talked to themselves.

"Anyway, I'm sleeping next to Jiang Si."

"It's worth it."

"Hehe, we managed to steal a kiss on his cheek."

"Senior Mu Jin is so cunning!"

Is this a case of mental breakdown caused by that boy's manipulation?
The waiter watched the girl leave with a somewhat numb expression, then stared at room 404 as if it were a den of iniquity.

Not long after, the boy finally came out, accompanied by a girl.

The waiter had registered them, so he naturally knew about their relationship.

His face showed signs of terror.

This guy actually attacked his own sister!

……

Coco got up early in the morning to wash up, and then ran around the yard with her older brother.

Since the accident during their family trip with their parents, the brother and sister have almost never traveled together again.

Coco felt refreshed and invigorated on her first trip in a long time. Her brother didn't wander around either; although she hadn't seen him last night, he had told her in advance that he was going to see a friend.

He came back in the middle of the night.

Because when she woke up, Jiang Si was right beside her, and she was even hugging her older brother like a koala.

I originally took Yiyi to my brother's room last night mainly to foster a better relationship between him and Yiyi, so that they could sleep together in each other's arms.

In the end, I got the spot myself.

Yiyi, whether out of shyness or something else, went back to her room to sleep.

It's frustrating to see someone like that. Even though I'm on my brother's left, there's still room on his right.

What's there to be afraid of?

I mentally criticized my cowardly friend again, and only returned to the hotel after warming up with my brother.

When he returned, for some reason, the waiter on the first floor looked at him with hostility.

When they got upstairs, An Shiyu, Yinlian, and Susan Peony, the two seniors, had just gotten up. They all looked sickly and hadn't slept well, and some even kept covering their necks, perhaps because they had stiff necks.

"Oh dear, you guys are too delicate. You can even get a stiff neck from sleeping outside."

Coco, who had a wonderful night's sleep, was naturally quite pleased with herself. "Look at me, I slept so well all night, hehe, that's the benefit of sleeping on the floor all the time. Don't drag me down during the competition later!"

The girls could only manage a wry smile, with Peony muttering aggrievedly, "I'm such an innocent bystander..."

After finishing their meal, the group headed to the competition venue, led by the magical girl from the South China Disaster Management Bureau.

This competition was large in scale, involved many participants, but was short in duration.

Therefore, the competition was conducted in a battle royale format.

Three girls form a group and engage in a free-for-all battle in the Great Forest designated by the South China Disaster Management Bureau. The Great Forest has a safe zone that will gradually shrink. Magical girls who leave the safe zone will be eliminated if they do not return to the safe zone within ten seconds.

The three who persist until the end within the safe zone are the winners and will receive a spot in the Mental Realm Trial.

Of course, there will also be points, and the final three winners will be ranked according to their points, with the first place winner receiving a special reward.

Teams are not fixed. If a team member is eliminated later in the game, they can rejoin another team with other single members.

The rules are quite simple.

While Coco, Li Yi, and Susan went to register, An Shiyu stayed next to Jiang Si, observing the magical girls around them.

On the large playground in front of the forest, there were countless magical girls, each with formidable strength.

At least for An Shiyu, they were all senior figures.

The weakest are the new seedlings; not a single one has sprouted.

"Everyone is so amazing!" An Shiyu couldn't help but exclaim. "Are Coco and the others okay?"

"Don't worry, the best of these magical girls is only at the mid-stage of the Blooming Realm, sixth level. Our little sister, on the other hand, is at the peak of the Blooming Realm!"

"It is the peak of a new seedling, but it can be overturned and bloom in full glory."

"Oh……"

Hibiscus is the fastest learner of the Disaster Management Bureau's recent reforms regarding the realm.

Perhaps because he had previously accepted the echo of the Great Dao in terms of realm from the young Daoist Master of the Qingyun Sect, this theoretical old thing accepted the latest and most fashionable realm classification without any obstacles.

However, his ability to discern still needs improvement, and dementia may still be the greatest enemy of the emperor in his later years.

Jiang Si shared the same view.

Although there are many magical girls, there are actually not many who can pose a threat to Coco.

Coco, who had already registered, waved to him from afar, smiling brightly, her lips moving slightly, making it clear that she was saying something.

"You'd better watch my performance closely, bro!"

Jiang Si snorted dismissively.

It would be shameful if you couldn't catch any fish in such a pond.

When the time comes, I'll definitely transform into Shion and train you to death.

"Jiang Si, Jiang Si, what do you think our little sister will get? What place?"

"That goes without saying, of course it's the crown..."

Jiang Si suddenly stood up halfway through her sentence.

An Shiyu also quickly stood up and looked in the direction Jiang Si was staring at.

Although Mu Jin looked bewildered, An Shiyu immediately recognized the magical girl that Jiang Si was staring at.

"Oh? It's Miss Bai Mei!"

Jiang Si sat down, looked at his eldest disciple, took a breath, and rubbed his forehead.

What the hell...

You're here to fry fish too, huh...?
