CHAPTER 1648: CHAPTER 713: CONFIDANT LIN BAICI

"Hmm!"

"Where are the God’s bones?"

Xia Hongyao was eager and reached into Lin Baici’s pocket, wanting to pull out the antler bone flute: "Let me see, I’ve never seen a god before!"

Eh?

Is that bone flute really that big and thick?

And it’s quite hot!

Slap!

Lin Baici slapped Xia Hongyao’s hand away: "What are you touching indiscriminately?"

"Hehe, just a bit excited!"

Xia Hongyao was very expectant.

"It’s gone. After I absorbed the Divine Grace, the body shattered."

Lin Baici couldn’t possibly say that he devoured the god, right?

Even though Xia Hongyao could keep it a secret, this Xiong Da is too dim-witted and might let it slip, causing big trouble for himself.

"Ah? It shattered?"

Xia Hongyao’s voice immediately dropped.

"Don’t be upset, next time I’ll take you to see a living god."

Lin Baici was desensitized to gods, having already seen four of them.

"Haha, Little Linzi, you’re the best!"

Xia Hongyao leaned in and gave Lin Baici a peck on the cheek.

Bang bang!

The door was knocked.

"Little Bai, are you asleep?"

"It’s Small Fish!"

Xia Hongyao threw off the blanket, slid off the bed, and shuffled to the door in her slippers.

Visiting Lin Baici so late at night, Hua Yue Yu felt a bit awkward and fidgety, but the opportunity to be alone with Lin Baici was too good to pass up.

Gu Qingqiu is so smart, he should have figured out my relationship with Little Bai, but Hongyao probably hasn’t.

While Hua Yue Yu was lost in thought, the door opened, and a pair of mountains faced her directly.

"Small Fish!"

"What are you doing here?"

Hua Yue Yu was stunned, her head aligned perfectly with Xia Hongyao’s formidable chest due to her height.

"I came to chat with Little Linzi!"

Xia Hongyao let Hua Yue Yu in, closed the door, and quickly shuffled back to the bed in her slippers, jumped on it, and covered herself with the blanket.

"Eh? Little Linzi, why are you on the sofa?"

Xia Hongyao called him over: "Come up and chat!"

"..."

Hua Yue Yu glanced at Lin Baici, then at Xia Hongyao; it seemed like the two of them were just on the bed.

Today, Lin Baici had just purified a Divine Ruins, killed a god, and received two top-grade Divine Graces. Xia Hongyao considered him a close friend and teammate and was genuinely happy for Lin Baici’s achievements and gains.

Bottle after bottle of beer went down, and Xia Hongyao was so chatty that she didn’t want to stop.

Hua Yue Yu was on the verge of tears.

Sister Yao, can you go?

I’ll drink with you another day, even if I get a stomach ulcer, I’ll drink until we’re satisfied. So can you leave tonight’s time for me?

Glug glug glug!

Xia Hongyao took a couple more swigs of beer: "What’s Little Qiu Qiu doing?"

At times like this, it’s only fun if we all party together!

So the high ponytail was about to go call Gu Qingqiu over.

’No way? You’re going to call another person over?’

Hua Yue Yu was on the verge of tears.

"Don’t call her over, it’s 2 AM already, she might have gone to bed!"

Lin Baici stopped her.

"You’re right."

Xia Hongyao gave up: "Then the three of us will drink!"

The high ponytail opened another can of beer and noticed that there wasn’t much left in the mini-fridge. She picked up the room phone: "I’ll call the front desk and have them send some more up."

"Do you want a little whiskey?"

Xia Hongyao thought that at times like this, red wine and brandy were too elegant, and they should drink some strong liquor.

"Enough, go to sleep!"

Lin Baici took a deep breath: "You have to drive tomorrow!"

"I’ll get a designated driver!"

When Hua Yue Yu heard the high ponytail say that, she was really about to cry: "Hongyao, can we celebrate when we get back? Little Linzi is so exhausted from the Divine Ruins, he really needs to rest tonight, okay?"

"You’re right!"

It was all Lin Baici’s fault for being so lively, making Xia Hongyao forget how tired Lin Baici was after purifying a Divine Ruins: "Then let’s go!"

The high ponytail was decisive and quick to act: "Little Linzi, rest well!"

Hua Yue Yu gave Lin Baici a look, but had no choice other than to follow Xia Hongyao out.

She planned to go back to her room and come back later, but...

The high ponytail followed Hua Yue Yu and stopped at her door.

"Ah?"

Hua Yue Yu was stunned: "You want to drink with me?"

"Yeah, it’s so boring alone!"

Xia Hongyao was too excited to sleep.

"......"

Yue Yu thought maybe they should both go play cards with Lin Baici, but Little Merperson was the top lady of the seafood platform, she’s seen all kinds of storms, right?

"Shall we go see what Little Qiu Qiu is up to?"

Yue Yu immediately went to find Gu Qingqiu, deciding to divert the trouble.

Gu Qingqiu was not sleeping; she was on her phone browsing the Origin Forum.

"The Crown Prince of the Sky God Club is missing. Someone posted a reward. Do you think he could have died in these Divine Ruins?"

Gu Qingqiu was curious. She knew her relationship with Lin Baici wasn’t deep enough, and there were some secrets he surely wouldn’t share with her, so she wisely didn’t participate in the chat at night.

"Who cares, the Sky God Club always has plenty of Crown Princes!"

Xia Hongyao grabbed a drink.

After a while of drinking, Yue Yu stood up: "I’m going back to take a shower. I’m sweating and feel uncomfortable."

"Why don’t you shower here?"

Xia Hongyao thought Yue Yu was too polite, "Little Qiu Qiu wouldn’t mind you using the bathroom!"

"Right, I wouldn’t mind!"

Gu Qingqiu chuckled; she could see from Yue Yu’s hesitant demeanor her intention, using it as an excuse to leave and find Lin Baici.

"Uh..."

Yue Yu racked her brain for an excuse.

"I think you’re tired too, go rest early!"

Gu Qingqiu couldn’t bear to tease Yue Yu anymore, otherwise she might cry from anxiety.

Yue Yu felt reprieved, quickly slipped away to her room, took a shower, and dashed over to Lin Baici’s place.

Opened the door, entered the room.

Then Little Merperson was stunned.

Doing this, how unbecoming!

Would Bai Ci look down on her?

When someone’s this forward, what else could Lin Baici do?

He directly carried Yue Yu in a princess hold, heading towards the big bed.

"To the window!"

Yue Yu instructed.

"Ah?"

Lin Baici paused.

"Wait, let me change clothes."

Yue Yu took out a cosplay toy gun, "What do you want to see me wear?"

"Spider-Man?"

Lin Baici suggested.

Bang!

Yue Yu punched Lin Baici, half-angry, half-anxious, "You’re doing this on purpose, aren’t you?"

With Little Merperson’s figure, wearing tight clothes would just look plain.

The two of them reached the floor-to-ceiling window.

"Are you sure here?"

Lin Baici looked around, it was the 19th floor, with a view of the city’s nightscape.

Yue Yu pulled the curtains closed, pressed her hands against the glass, and stuck her head out through the curtain gap, looking outside: "I consulted some advisors; they say men all like this kind of scene."

Soon, Yue Yu couldn’t stand steadily, only her toes touching the ground, swaying, pressing herself against the floor-to-ceiling window.

...

The next day at noon, everyone returned to Haijing City.

"I’ll take Little Fish home!"

Lin Baici, worried Xia Hongyao might suggest going to the Dragon and Beauty Bar for a celebration, hurriedly found an excuse to slip away.

"I’m heading to the Security Bureau, gonna ask my sister for a bonus for you."

Walker and Holkina were dead, it was quite troublesome, Xia Hongyao needed to handle it.

The four of them went their separate ways.

At the garage, Yue Yu looked eagerly at Lin Baici: "Want to come in for a cup of tea?"

"..."

Lin Baici knew once he got in, it definitely wouldn’t be tea he’d be drinking, but seeing Little Merperson’s pitiful look, he couldn’t refuse even a bit.

"Alright!"

Once Lin Baici agreed, Yue Yu immediately showed a smile, her whole being brightened up.

Once inside, Yue Yu handed Lin Baici slippers, took off his coat, and made tea!

"No need to bother."

Lin Baici looked around; although he hadn’t been there for days, Yue Yu had arranged the place to feel quite lived-in, but everything was in pink tones, exuding a cute vibe.

After making the tea, Yue Yu dashed into her workspace: "I’ll go tell the water friends first, take a leave!"

If she delayed further, the water friends would explode.

Though Yue Yu didn’t rely on the money from streaming, she still had a professional ethic, never treating the fans as money bags, but as friends.

"Haha, I caught you!"

"Sister Fish, why are you streaming at this time?"

"Whoa, Sister Fish, what’s up with your skin tone? Looks so smooth!"

As soon as Yue Yu started streaming, within less than three minutes, the chat was full.

"I reckon, Sister Fish has a man at home now!"

A viewer with the nickname Dog Half-immortal suddenly posted a sentence.
