177: Chapter 176 The Eve of the Storm

Thanks to the youth's interruption, the originally ambiguous atmosphere in the room vanished instantly.

Xing Yaoyan crouched in front of the human-shaped hole, breathing slightly heavily.

Her mind was still replaying the bold actions she had just shared with Qian Mo; it was a feeling she had never experienced since her Transmigration, or even in her previous life.

At the thought of the sappy words she had just said to the youth, combined with her slow compliance with his rude behavior earlier, Xing Yaoyan felt a blush of extreme shame.

She buried her head deep into her arms wrapped around her knees, her long, disheveled white hair completely obscuring her vision, not daring to look at the smiling face of the youth in the hole.

"Hiss~ Young Miss Xing Yan, could you pull me out..."

The youth's voice came, accompanied by the sound of him sucking in a cold breath.

"What are you acting pitiful for? When you were like that with me just now, I didn't see you being this weak..."

As everyone knows, a man must never be told he is no good.

Therefore, Qian Mo decisively slapped the ground with one hand and rose with the momentum, determined to let Young Miss Xing Yan know his strength!

And just at the moment he was about to emerge from the hole...

"Slap!"

A massive force came from his chest, and the wretched Qian Mo was embedded back in once again.

He had just been about to aggrievedly demand why the girl had suddenly ambushed him when he heard her anxious voice ring in his ears.

"Qian Mo, from now on, if you dare to make a single sound, you're dead!"

As she spoke, a huge carpet appeared from nowhere and covered him from above, completely hiding the youth and the hole.

At the same time, the doorbell ringing outside the door resolved his confusion.

"...Ding-dong!"

"Sister Yan, are you there? It's me... Ying Linglong..."

"I'm here... I'm here... Wait a moment, I'll be there right away..."

Xing Yaoyan hurriedly tidied up the chaotic traces in the living room, then straightened her somewhat disheveled clothes and opened the door with a smile.

At the doorway, the cat-eared loli wearing a black devilish short skirt stood there somewhat timidly, her hands tightly clutching the hem of her clothes, head lowered as if she didn't dare to face the Young Miss.

"Good afternoon, Xiao Linglong!"

Xing Yaoyan said with a smile, moving aside to signal the little cat girl to come in and talk.

"Oh... Hello, Sister Yan..."

The cat-eared girl still didn't look up and quickly walked into the room, her steps somewhat hurried.

"Sister Yan... when did you buy a new carpet... Sister Yan, you!"

Seeing the conspicuous, huge carpet right in the center of the living room, Ying Linglong was clearly stunned for a moment, and then turned to ask Xing Yaoyan.

But after she saw her Sister Yan in such a "battle-damaged" state, she was shocked and her fur stood on end.

"Um... my clothes... Yes! It's like this, I was just at home having a Breakthrough to the fourth stage, and the energy fluctuation was too great, so that's how it ended up..."

Although she felt very guilty inside, Xing Yaoyan forced herself to suppress her embarrassment and explained in the most normal tone possible.

As she spoke, she also released her Demonic Power.

Upon feeling the pressure of the fourth stage, the little cat girl suddenly lowered her head, her body swaying slightly. But not long after, she suddenly raised her head, a thrilled smile on her face.

"Sister Yan, congratulations! That's amazing! You actually had a Breakthrough so quickly..."

"Hahaha... I was just lucky... Right, what exactly did you come to see me for?"

Hearing her words, the little cat girl lowered her head once again, her voice carrying a hint of choked emotion.

"Sister Yan... I was too immature when we went to the hospital last time... I shouldn't have thrown a tantrum and run off suddenly, I'm sorry..."

"That time... haha... it's fine, it's fine, it was all a misunderstanding. I only went to take care of him back then because he helped me at a critical moment, and I don't like owing people favors..."

Anyway, I wasn't wrong; he really did help me a lot when I first arrived here through Transmigration...

Xing Yaoyan thought to herself, casually reaching out to habitually pat the girl on the head.

But to her surprise, the little cat girl, who used to love her head pats, now just shuddered unnaturally, then put on a somewhat forced smile.

"Alright... I'm fine now, Sister Yan... I'll be going first..."

Ying Linglong turned and walked quickly outside; where Xing Yaoyan couldn't see, her fists gradually clenched...

The door closed again.

Xing Yaoyan leaned her whole body against the door, feeling somewhat drained, and let out a long sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Ying Linglong didn't notice anything, otherwise her image in the eyes of the demons of the Kingdom of Myriad Demons would have completely collapsed!

"Young Miss Xing Yan..."

Sensing that Ying Linglong had left, the youth lifted the carpet and slowly crawled out, kneeling on the ground very naturally to await his punishment.

"You... I really don't know what to do with you..."

Seeing Qian Mo like this, Xing Yaoyan, who had originally wanted to beat him up again to vent her anger, suddenly found she had no reason to.

Seeing her biting her lower lip, her face flushed with shy embarrassment, Qian Mo felt hot blood rush to his brain; acting on impulse, he stood up and gave his beloved before him a somewhat bold hug.

"Qian Mo! Are you finished yet? Regarding what happened before, I only made an exception because you helped me, don't push your luck..."

This sentence suddenly left the youth feeling a bit dazed.

It seemed he had heard someone say something extremely similar with the same tone and the same action somewhere before...

"Xiao Yan..."

"What did you say?"

"No... nothing..."

The White Wolf Girl in his arms suddenly looked up, her golden eyes staring fixedly at the youth's chin.

Because Qian Mo was looking elsewhere out of embarrassment, he did not notice the complex expression that flashed through the girl's eyes.

"Don't tell me that while you're hugging a beauty like me, your mind is thinking of another woman's name..."

"No... no, I swear..."

"Hmph..."

Xing Yaoyan pretended to be angry and pushed the youth away, secretly gritting her teeth.

What's the use of you swearing, you weren't wrong...

"What are you standing there for? Why aren't you leaving yet? Do you want to stay the night at my place!"

"No... no..."

Qian Mo rubbed his nose with a guilty conscience and turned to walk towards the door.

Although he really wanted to, he had learned so much from Yun Lan that he knew one must eat one bite at a time, and matters of the heart were even more like boiling a frog in warm water; one couldn't rush it.

Suddenly, the youth who had just walked out of the door stopped and turned his head to say:

"Right, Young Miss Xing Yan, we are now at the fourth stage, we can go to the school's mission board to accept corresponding missions. Can we form a team in two days? I have many information channels, I can definitely secure a big job!"

There was no one behind him, and the sound of tidying things up still came from the living room; it seemed Young Miss Xing Yan had no interest in seeing him off.

"Sigh..."

He let out a deep sigh, preparing to leave with some disappointment.

Just at this moment, a pleasant voice immediately made him beam with joy again.

The voice consisted of only one word:

"Okay..."
