Chapter 50: Left Hand Loli, Right Hand Mature Woman, The Pinnacle of Life!
In the middle of the night.
In the family apartment.
Ye Shimeng leaned on the balcony railing, resting her chin on her hands as she gazed down below.
“Ruoxue, it’s so late. Why hasn’t brother come back yet?”
In the autumn night, the temperature had dropped sharply.
Xiao Ruoxue had reheated the meals multiple times but still hadn’t seen her brother return.
“I’ve called Xiao Yu several times, but his phone is off. It must be out of battery.”
Suddenly, Ye Shimeng shouted, “I see brother!”
Downstairs, under the dim streetlights, a tall figure was illuminated.
Ye Shimeng could clearly see Xiao Xingyu walking into the family apartment complex.
“Brother!”
Ye Shimeng yelled from the balcony.
Upon hearing her voice, Xiao Xingyu looked up and smiled.
No matter how late it was, there was someone waiting patiently at home, prepared with delicious meals, warm water for bathing, and a cup of hot tea for the chilly autumn evening...
This was the warm family life everyone yearns for.
Before long, Xiao Xingyu pushed open the door.
Ye Shimeng dashed over like a little rabbit and jumped into Xiao Xingyu's arms.
“Brother, you’re finally back! Mengmeng has been waiting for you so long that I’m starving!”
Xiao Xingyu carefully felt the curves of the girl in his arms and couldn’t help but tease, “Mengmeng, with your figure, I bet even if you starved for ten days, you’d still be bigger than the average adult woman.”
Although Ye Shimeng appeared to be a double ponytail loli, she actually had quite a developed figure, typical of the “childlike face with a mature body” trope.
Xiao Ruoxue brushed back her silver hair, a kind smile appearing on her lips.
“It's good that you're back. The food is getting cold; let me heat it up again.”
Xiao Ruoxue turned to head back into the kitchen, always silently dedicated to their home without any complaints.
“Mengmeng, look what I brought you!”
Xiao Xingyu opened his backpack and took out an oiled paper bag.
Ye Shimeng, intrigued, opened the bag and her eyes sparkled with delight.
“Candied hawthorns!”
Xiao Xingyu reached up and playfully tugged at Ye Shimeng's ponytails.
“I told you I’d bring you candied hawthorns, and I delivered!”
Earlier that afternoon, Xiao Xingyu had promised to bring them back home after school, and even amidst the excitement of contracting the Holy Light Angel Beast, he hadn’t forgotten this seemingly insignificant promise.
“Thank you, brother! Hehe!”
Ye Shimeng grabbed a skewer of candied hawthorns and started munching away, her cheeks, already filled with collagen, puffing up even more, making her look adorably like a hamster preparing for winter.
“Brother, you eat too!”
“Mengmeng will feed you, open wide, ah~”
“Save the last skewer for Sister Ruoxue!”
In just a few days, Ye Shimeng had completely integrated into this family.
Xiao Xingyu had initially viewed Ye Shimeng as a “high-quality evolution material ATM,” given her background in the Ye family and the treasures she possessed.
However, he had now recognized her as a sister in his heart and decided to treat her as a real little sister.
Xiao Ruoxue reheated the food and brought it back to the table.
The three of them chatted and ate together.
Xiao Xingyu’s humor often elicited bursts of laughter from the two lovely ladies, their giggles echoing like cheerful melodies.
In the deep, quiet night, with the moon shining brightly,
Ye Shimeng had fallen asleep on the couch in Xiao Xingyu's embrace.
Her long eyelashes fluttered slightly, and her delicate little feet were exposed to the cool air.
“Xiao Yu, carry Mengmeng back to her room. It’s too cold in the living room.”
Xiao Xingyu lifted Ye Shimeng and walked into the master bedroom.
The master bedroom was a bit more spacious, usually shared by Xiao Ruoxue and Ye Shimeng.
Xiao Xingyu typically slept in the guest room alone.
After covering Ye Shimeng with a blanket, he turned to leave, wishing his sister goodnight before heading back to the guest room.
Back in the guest room, Xiao Xingyu found himself not feeling sleepy but instead engrossed in a book titled “Holy Light Attribute Combat Techniques.”
Suddenly, his phone vibrated.
Xiao Xingyu glanced at the screen and saw the latest trending news pop up.
**[Shocking! Reward Upgraded!]**
**[The bounty on the Beast Emperor's magical beast, the Nine-Tailed Fox, Delu, has risen to 4 billion!]**
Xiao Xingyu chuckled and used his spiritual power to initiate communication.
“Lulu, your bounty has gone up from 3 billion to 4 billion. It looks like our Dragon Country's Empress is determined to capture you at any cost.”
The beast emblem activated, and a stunningly beautiful woman appeared in the guest room.
Delu sat on the bed, her alabaster legs crossed, and her pink toes slightly curled.
“Master, are you afraid? Planning to hand me over for the 4 billion reward?”
Xiao Xingyu gave a self-deprecating smile. “Hand you over? Ha!”
“Between us, we've signed a blood contract. If I hand you over, how could I possibly remain unscathed?”
“With the Empress's temperament, she'd probably take me out along with you!”
Although Xiao Xingyu had never seen the Dragon Country Empress in person, he had heard of her ruthless methods.
Anyone who could become a ruler would undoubtedly have a heart of stone.
The night was long, and the man and fox began to chat casually.
“What are your plans next?”
“Participate in the two-star Beastmaster assessment.”
“With Black Blade having just completed its breakthrough evolution, and you having contracted the Holy Light Angel Beast, passing the two-star Beastmaster assessment shouldn’t be difficult.”
Despite Delu being a proud Nine-Tailed Fox and viewing others with disdain, she genuinely acknowledged Xiao Xingyu’s strength and talent.
The chilly night wind blew through the open window, which Xiao Xingyu had forgotten to close.
A gust of wind mixed with moisture swept into the bedroom, causing Delu to frown slightly.
“Is the Dragon Power acting up again?”
Delu shook her head. “It’s nothing. After taking the Cold Sky Snow Lotus you gave me, the Dragon Power has been mostly suppressed.”
The Cold Sky Snow Lotus wasn’t a cure-all; it could only temporarily suppress the restlessness of the Dragon Power.
Xiao Xingyu analyzed, “To completely cure you and remove the Dragon Power from your body, we need two rare treasures.”
“One is the Phoenix Heart.”
“The other is the Dragon Vine Flower.”
These two treasures were rare and couldn’t be found in any beast store.
The Phoenix Heart was a treasure formed from the fusion of pureblood Phoenix's essence and spirit.
Such a treasure could only be found in the imperial palace.
In other words, it was in the hands of the Dragon Country Empress, Shangguan Lan.
Obtaining a treasure from Shangguan Lan would be harder than climbing to the sky.
In comparison, the Dragon Vine Flower was relatively easier to obtain; it grew in Dragon Valley but had a high harvesting difficulty.
“Lulu, just hold on a little longer. I’ll cure you as soon as possible.”
“Why are you so good to me?”
“I’ve said it before; you are my magical beast, my family.”
“Xiao Xingyu, you…”
“What’s wrong?”
“Nothing, nothing~”
Delu hesitated, her heart warming. She didn’t know how to express her gratitude to Xiao Xingyu, so she buried these feelings deep within.
As drowsiness began to take over, Xiao Xingyu activated the beast emblem and recalled Delu.
Just as Xiao Xingyu lay down, heavy rain began to pour outside.
The rain was wild, and a gust of icy wind shattered the window in the guest room.
Rainwater flooded in through the broken window, soaking the bed.
Hearing the sound of the glass breaking, Xiao Ruoxue rushed over to check.
“Xiao Yu, what happened?”
Xiao Xingyu, drenched, forced a sheepish smile. “Sister, the wind was too strong, and the window broke.”
Looking at her brother, who was drenched to the bone, it was clear how fierce the storm was.
The Longyin City Meteorological Bureau issued a red warning for heavy rain that night.
“Brother, I’m an adult now; I can handle it myself~”
“You brat, I’ve taken care of you since you were little. What’s there to be shy about?”
Xiao Ruoxue took a towel and personally dried Xiao Xingyu's dripping body, her delicate hands occasionally brushing against his chest and abs, even other areas.
Xiao Xingyu, usually carefree, felt a bit bashful at that moment.
“It seems this storm won’t stop anytime soon.”
“Your guest room has basically turned into a waterfall; it’s not livable.”
After some thought, Xiao Ruoxue made a decision and took Xiao Xingyu’s hand.
“Xiao Yu, why don’t you sleep in the master bedroom tonight?”
“Uh, isn’t that a bit inappropriate?”
Xiao Ruoxue and Ye Shimeng usually slept in the master bedroom, which was just enough for two.
If Xiao Xingyu also slept there, the three of them would be crammed together, creating a rather ambiguous atmosphere.
“I’m your sister; why are you shy about it?”
Five minutes later.
In the master bedroom,
Xiao Xingyu lay in the middle, with Ye Shimeng nestled on his left, snoozing peacefully.
Ye Shimeng’s hair cascaded down near Xiao Xingyu’s neck, causing his heart to race.
On his right side, Xiao Ruoxue lay nearby, the fragrant scent of her body stimulating Xiao Xingyu’s senses.
“Left hand loli, right hand mature woman, is this what they call the pinnacle of life?”
Xiao Xingyu’s cheeks flushed as he drifted into a blissful sleep.
Xiao Ruoxue and Xiao Xingyu had slept together since childhood, so it was nothing unusual.
But Ye Shimeng was the second daughter of the Ye family; if the Ye family found out about this, Xiao Xingyu would likely face the wrath of the entire family.
