Watching Senior Brother leave, Ning Yunmiao finally put down her waving little hand.

"I always feel like Senior Brother is acting strange today..."

Somehow, she pulled out a peach from somewhere on her body, brought it to her mouth, and took a big bite. With her cheeks slightly puffed, she thought, "But being a Senior Brother does seem tiring. If it were me, I'd resign too."

Nibbling on the peach like a little hamster, Ning Yunmiao quickly put the matter of Senior Brother behind her and started counting the days on her fingers.

"Hmm... it should be right. At the earliest this month, at the latest in the next two months, the plot of the novel should begin!" Ning Yunmiao swallowed the fruit in her mouth, clenched her now free little hand into a fist, and joyfully muttered to herself, "My transmigrator's golden finger is finally going to be put to use!"

Yes, Ning Yunmiao had a secret identity unknown to others.

She was a transmigrator.

To be precise, she was a book transmigrator.

The world she was currently in was actually the content of a bestselling novel from her original world. On a stormy night, she somehow ended up in this book world.

But that wasn't the most crucial part. The key was that she arrived too early.

When she descended into this world as a little girl, there were still at least ten years before the plot of the novel's first chapter began.

Ten years, do you know how she spent those ten years?

Eating and sleeping, sleeping and eating every day, she waited so painfully!

Ahem, well, whether it's said that fortune favors the foolish or that the foolish have their own luck, Ning Yunmiao, who started as an orphan, didn't even have the chance to begin her wandering life before she was picked up by the current sect leader of the Flowing Cloud Sect and brought back to the sect.

And then... she began a life of eating and sleeping, sleeping and eating.

Of course, that's not important. In short, her golden finger is finally going to be useful now!

"Although I've always been using another golden finger..." Ning Yunmiao thought of this, closed her eyes tightly, then opened them again, and immediately saw the words 【Sleeping AFK Cultivation System—Experience Points for This Sleep: 1230】 in her vision.

"Mm, at this rate, I should soon be able to break through to the Mid Foundation Establishment Realm." Counting on her fingers again, Ning Yunmiao's eyes lit up as she tossed the peach pit aside, "Finally, otherwise, being the fourth but having the lowest cultivation level among the five is really embarrassing!"

...Although even if she succeeded in breaking through, she would still be the lowest among the sect leader's five disciples.

"Alright, the next step is to use my understanding of the novel's plot to acquire great treasures, seize great opportunities, and reach the pinnacle of life! By then, I'll eat Spirit Fish Roasted with Red Jade Fruit every day!" Ning Yunmiao's lips curled up as she foolishly fantasized about a beautiful future.

Until a line of text appeared in her vision, pulling her out of her dream.

***

Leaving the bamboo forest, Xiao Lin used his movement technique, leaping and dodging several times, and soon arrived at a small pond.

This small pond, whose age was unknown, lay quietly among several large rocks. The water was clear and transparent, like a mirror reflecting the surrounding scenery and people.

Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the "[pawread.com]"

However, no scenery could compare to the young woman standing quietly by the pond, lost in thought as she gazed at it.

—With willow-like eyebrows, almond-shaped eyes, a delicate nose, and cherry lips, her skin was fairer than snow, and her figure was tall and graceful. Coupled with her white attire, her appearance alone was already stunningly beautiful. Moreover, the aura of aloofness and the coldness akin to an ice mountain that had not melted for a thousand years emanating from her added a unique beauty that could only be admired from afar.

That's why Xiao Lin's Second Junior Sister, Luo Qingyan, was often referred to by many Flowing Cloud Sect disciples as the "Flower on the High Mountain" of the sect. It's even rumored that some disciples, in their drunken stupor, have uttered shocking statements like "I am Senior Sister Qingyan's dog."

"Hmm, all the way here, I haven't heard Fourth Junior Sister's inner voice, nor anyone else's. So, I can only hear Fourth Junior Sister's inner voice at close range?"

Standing not far from Luo Qingyan, Xiao Lin looked at his Second Junior Sister, organizing his experimental conclusions in his mind.

Earlier, he had bombarded the system with questions in his mind, but as usual, received no response.

So whether his mind-reading ability was related to the system was still up for debate...

[Senior Brother is here! Senior Brother! I like him! As expected of a Five-Star Character Card! As expected of my sole favorite character! You can only be mine! Don't look at other girls!]

"?"

Hearing the familiar female voice in his ear, Xiao Lin widened his eyes and looked at Luo Qingyan, feeling a bit dazed.

[Wait, he's... he's staring at me? What's going on? This has never happened before! Could it be... could it be that Senior Brother has finally fallen for me? This, this... I'm not ready for marriage yet!]

"??"

Listening to the continued female voice in his ear, Xiao Lin looked at Luo Qingyan, who still appeared calm and cold as she gazed at the pond, and felt that this world was even more interesting than he had imagined.

When I use a question mark, it's not that I have a problem, but that I think you have a problem.

What do you mean by marriage? I just glanced at you!

[Senior Brother is still looking at me! What should I do, what should I do? I'm about to lose control! How many kids should we have? What should we name the boys? And the girls?]

"Ahem!"

Feeling more and more shocked, Xiao Lin finally couldn't hold it in and coughed twice.

Then he saw Luo Qingyan turn to look at him, first nodding lightly, then speaking in a calm and indifferent tone, "Senior Brother."

[Confess! Confess! I'm ready!]

"..."

Listening to the voice in his ear, which was completely devoid of the usual coldness and even carried a hint of fanaticism, Xiao Lin found it hard to associate it with the white-clad woman in front of him.

Is this really her inner voice? And she mentioned something about a character card earlier, right? Definitely!

Struggling to control his expression, Xiao Lin, feeling the need to digest what he had seen and heard, decided to get straight to the point, "Second Junior Sister, do you want to be the Senior Sister?"

"No."

Luo Qingyan gently shook her head and gave Xiao Lin an inquisitive look.

"It's like this, after much consideration, I still feel that I'm not quite suitable, so I want to give up this position." Xiao Lin looked at the taciturn Luo Qingyan, thinking this is the usual you.

Then he heard Luo Qingyan's fervent voice continue in his ear.

[You're not suitable? Impossible! Only you can be the Senior Brother! You're my white moonlight! I won't allow you to give up this position! No, no, no, no, no!]

"..."

Xiao Lin, almost losing control of his expression, was considering whether to pretend to rub his face when he saw Luo Qingyan gently shake her head and coldly utter three words.

"You are suitable."

As cold as eternal ice, completely unrelated to the inner voice Xiao Lin had just heard.
