The overlord of the gods is interrogating the alien female spy.

　“LuLu…”

　"Don't say anything more. I've been taken care of by you all for so long, I should do something in return."

　"Alright then. Lulu will take the first half of the night, and I'll take over for the second half."

　"Okay. Let's leave it at that."

　After a while, the Nine-Colored Deer returned from the painting, and Little Dragon Girl stared at Chen Lingxu with a stern face, as if warning him not to cause any trouble.

　"If Miss Xi is worried about Lulu, why don't you let her rest, and Miss Xi will keep watch with me tonight?"

　While the Nine-Colored Deer went to check on the little algae ball to cook soup, Chen Lingxu struck up a conversation with her.

　"what?"

　Vigil?

　It's not dry until evening.

　Besides, she always felt something was off about that guy called Little Algae Ball, so she had to keep a close eye on him.

　"Listen to Miss Xi and don't cause trouble."

　"Don't worry, sir."

　The world in the painting.

　The shapeshifter looked at what was in front of it.

　The idea of ​​leaving a small monster fragment inside has been temporarily put aside.

　She's probably going to get brutally beaten to death for disturbing her celestial master's love game.

　Chapter Fifty-Six: There's something good in store!

　The campfire was burning, but apart from the pack animal sleeping soundly, neither the Qilin nor the Nine-Colored Deer were asleep.

　Why isn't Lulu resting?

　Chen Lingxu had just finished a long phone conversation with his girlfriend when he noticed Xiaolu sitting quietly beside him, gazing at the starry sky.

　Did you think he was stargazing?

　Through the experiment, Chen Lingxu and Precys rebuilt their soul link and enabled in-team voice communication, allowing them to communicate without using public microphones. Therefore, Chen Lingxu appeared to be in a daze, probably because the Nine-Colored Deer misunderstood something.

　"I have some... trouble sleeping."

　Combining today's events with yesterday's, the thought of the two of them now being "in the same room" made Nine-Colored Deer incredibly energetic.

　How can I fall asleep when all I can think about when I close my eyes is "whether it's good or bad"?

　"Are you cold?"

　Although it's summer, this is still the wilderness, and besides the annoying mosquitoes, the temperature is very low; sometimes you need to cover yourself with a blanket.

　"It's cold... um... a bit cold."

　How could it be cold? The nine-colored deer is no ordinary person. Although it is not immune to heat and cold, it is more resistant to cold and heat than ordinary people.

　But she still gave this answer in response to the other person's question.

　Qilin didn't say much, but simply tore open his outer garment and hugged the little deer into his arms.

　“A-Xu”.

　"Is it still cold like this?"

　"Much better. Thank you, Ah Xu."

　"Between you and me, there's no need for thanks."

　Or perhaps feeling that she was uncomfortable, Chen Lingxu, under her gaze, hooked her legs and pulled her onto his lap, so that when he hugged her again, his clothes could completely cover her upper body.

　"Would you like me to tell Lulu a story?"

　Pressing down the nine-colored deer's hair and staring at the white jade antlers in front of him, Chen Lingxu resisted the urge to take a bite and taste it, and instead teased the little deer in his arms.

　"No need... This is fine, this is good enough."

　His body is so hot. And he's holding me so tightly.

　Just as she imagined... no, even more comfortable than she had imagined.

　Does Miss Zao sleep with him like this every day after they're done?

　The nine-colored deer began to recall those scenes again.

　Although she had never seen it before, she could still conjure up a vivid picture in her mind. Now that she was actually in his arms, those imaginings became even more real.

　"LuLu, you smell so good."

　The Qilin beside him took a deep breath of the Deer Bodhisattva's breath and sighed with heartfelt emotion.

　"Hmm? Maybe... it's the smell of herbs."

　After all, she handles those medicinal herbs every day, so she might have picked up some of their smell.

　"Your hands are so small, Lulu."

　It's small, that's normal.

　Only when the Qilin held her hand did the Nine-Colored Deer realize that she probably needed to put both of her hands together to compare with his.

　"She's so much fairer than me. They say a beautiful woman is like jade, and seeing her today, it's definitely true."

　The moonlight, cold as frost, reflected on the nine-colored deer's hands, giving them an even more crystalline luster.

　"That's an exaggeration. Maybe it's due to your constitution?"

　Nine-Colored Deer had a feeling that if he continued to praise him, something strange might happen.

　"I...I'm a little sleepy, Ah Xu."

　She wanted to break free from this strange feeling, so she made an excuse to go back and rest.

　"it is good."

　The words were spoken so readily, but when the Nine-Colored Deer looked at the Qilin lying beside it, it blinked.

　"It's okay. Lulu is sleeping well. I'll stay here and watch over her. Lulu's sleeping face is so cute, I want to... watch her a little longer."

　Sleeping face...cute and stuff.

　"No, no, that's not true... Stop talking nonsense. I'm going to sleep."

　The nine-colored deer had her eyes closed, but right in front of her was the Qilin, whose gaze was fiery even with her eyes closed. She gritted her teeth, turned around, and faced away from him, trying to shift her attention, even if it was impolite.

　"Huh? Ah Xu..."

　But just a few minutes later, the man reached out and hooked his arm around her waist, pulling her into his warm embrace.

　"It's all Lulu's fault. She made me feel a bit cold too."

　Are they cold? There are no blankets here... It seems they'll have to keep warm by each other.

　The nine-colored deer stopped struggling and let him hold her.

　His breathing was right above his head, long and deep, each breath clearly audible; the Nine-Colored Deer could even tell how long he had been taking a deep breath.

　Does she really smell that good?

　And his hands... instead of resting properly on her waist, what were they touching on her stomach? Her waist doesn't have any extra fat, there's no way they could touch it.

　And...it's the tail hanging behind it...no, that's not right!

　The nine-colored deer shook its fluffy tail, confirming the creature's appearance once more.

　It is a tail, but it is not a tail.

　How could he...?

　“A-Xu”.

　"What's wrong, Lulu?"

　Even the tone of his voice when responding to her changed.

　Hugging and cuddling with girls is one thing, but to do this... this is beyond ordinary lechery! We must strike hard.

　But while these were the thoughts in my mind, other things were also floating around in my head.

　The Nine-Colored Deer remembered that...

　Some overheard conversations.

　This gentleman by day is a rogue by night; every night he thinks about her while bullying Miss Zao.

　Now that he finally has the chance to touch her, it would be surprising if he didn't feel anything.

　"You, you still have... a weapon? It's poking my waist."

　The Nine-Colored Deer planned to play dumb and get away with it.

　"Ah... I'm sorry, Lulu."

　Did you notice? Then let her go.

　"This is also Lulu's fault."

　Blame her?

　Furthermore, instead of letting go of her, Qilin hugged her even tighter.

　Now it wasn't just the deer's tail that could reach her; her legs, waist, and back had become weapon racks.

　"Who in the world wouldn't be tempted by a beauty like Lulu in their arms?"

　Is that a reason? Isn't this just... lust at first sight?

　"Don't worry, Lulu... I won't move without your permission. Can I hug you a little longer? It's a bit cold at this hour."

　Still looking for excuses...

　The Nine-Colored Deer knows everything, but... debts of gratitude are truly hard to repay.

　Can I hold Lulu's hand?

　“A-Xu…”

　That's a bit too much.

　But listening to the wailing pleas, the Nine-Colored Deer still let him hold her hand.

　"I won't move around anymore now. Get some rest, Lulu."

　Seriously... like this.

　With her hands held and a gun pointed at her body, even if Nine-Colored Deer recited the sutras for calming the mind a hundred times, she couldn't fool herself.

　And it seems... it's getting more and more stubborn.

　If she doesn't find a way to get rid of it, she probably won't be able to sleep until dawn.

　But...do we really have to do this?

　If we do that...

　"Um, Ah Xu, I think... you could put it away for now, okay?"

　"Hmm? I don't understand what Lulu means."

　"It's...that...you, if you orchestrated it yourself..."

　"Ah... yes, it's possible. But... I've never tried it."

　Hearing him say that he had been accompanied by someone since childhood and that Little Algae Ball handled everything, Nine-Colored Deer could only sigh.

　A moment later, a lamp was turned on.

　The beauty is like jade, the deer like a fairy.

　With her eyes closed, the nine-colored deer slowly lifted the hem of her long dress, revealing her tender little deer legs, her untied belt, and her snow-white bodice.

　"But, is it ok?"

　This is the extent she can accept.

　"Probably."
