247: Chapter 247 Breaking the City

"Hmph! Bad brother-in-law! Stinky brother-in-law! The most hateful brother-in-law."

On the seventh floor, a small laurel tree emitted a hazy, clear radiance. Luo Qingcheng sat cross-legged in front of the tree, breathing in and absorbing the moonlight, while occasionally muttering to herself.

"Huh?" Lin Bei, who was invisible nearby, looked completely bewildered.

What did I do?

It seems I haven't done anything, right? Especially not to this little girl...

Eh?

Thinking of this, he seemed to understand a little. Perhaps it was because he hadn't done anything at all!

"Eh? What's going on?" At this moment, Luo Qingcheng realized that the flow of time had returned to normal and could no longer be accelerated.

"Wuu wuu... Is it broken? No way, right? I was just a little bit away from reaching the Late Stage of the Saint Realm to settle scores with that little demoness Shangguan Yue, and the small tower actually broke at this time?"

As she spoke, her small mouth pouted, and a thin mist of water began to well up in her beautiful eyes.

Lin Bei couldn't bear to see such things happen before his eyes. He took a step forward, appearing behind her, and reached out his hands to wrap around her slender waist.

"Little sister, who bullied you? Brother will stand up for you."

"Brother-in-law?" Luo Qingcheng turned around in pleasant surprise and hooked her arms around Lin Bei's neck.

Then, remembering something, her eyes darted around. She let go of Lin Bei, pouted even higher, stubbornly turned around, and gave a light hmph, "Hmph, I don't want to talk to you..."

Dammit, this little girl seems a bit determined this time...

Lin Bei groaned inwardly.

Facing this situation, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to coax her without taking some real action...

"Little sister Qingcheng," he gently held her delicate body, turned her around, and pulled her into his embrace, "Be good, tell me what happened..."

At the same time, one of his hands rested, as if unintentionally, on her perky posterior.

Luo Qingcheng's delicate body instantly softened, and she collapsed completely into Lin Bei's arms. The faint dissatisfaction she had been feigning could no longer be maintained, transforming into a submissive, bird-like demeanor.

"Brother-in-law... You are a bad guy. You clearly promised to take me out to play very soon! Are you here to take me out to play this time?"

"No, no, no." Lin Bei refused repeatedly, "There is a Southwest Tyrannosaur outside right now; it's too dangerous."

"Southwest Tyrannosaur?" Luo Qingcheng slightly raised her beautiful head, "What is that?"

"It is a very terrifying creature."

"Oh." Luo Qingcheng nodded and stopped asking.

Since Brother-in-law said it was very terrifying, then it must be extremely, extremely scary!

"Now can you tell me how Shangguan Yue bullied you?"

"Mm-hmm, that little demoness..."

After Luo Qingcheng's explanation, Lin Bei finally understood the reason, and he was momentarily left between laughing and crying.

These two women had always disliked each other, and they would occasionally exchange blows within the Portable Space.

Previously, the two were basically evenly matched, and things were relatively harmonious.

But ever since Shangguan Yue was developed by Lin Bei, her Heavenly Secret Dao Body improved further, and her cultivation reached the Late Stage of the Saint Realm a step ahead.

In the recent few confrontations, Luo Qingcheng had been suppressed, which ignited the little girl's fighting spirit. She had been staying on the seventh floor of the small tower, wanting to achieve a Breakthrough in her Realm and fight back.

Sure enough, one shouldn't be too full...

This was Lin Bei's first thought; of course, it was impossible to say it out loud.

"Laugh if you want..." Luo Qingcheng glared at him indignantly, "Actually, this is not the reason that makes me the most angry..."

For some reason, after saying this, her face turned slightly red.

"Oh? Did Shangguan Yue do something bad? That's outrageous." Lin Bei feigned indignation.

"That little demoness said..." Luo Qingcheng bit her red lips and said, lowering her head, acting a bit shy.

"She actually said that all of us... except for me and Sister Zixia, everyone else... everyone else has done that with you, Brother-in-law."

"Even Sister Qianyun, who hasn't been here long, has..."

If they weren't in the small tower, Lin Bei would definitely have stomped the ground and cracked it open without hesitation, then dived down without looking back!

Damn it! Shangguan Yue really is a black sheep!

To say such things in front of such a pure little girl!

And how is this person so accurate...

"Brother-in-law, um..." Seeing that Lin Bei hadn't spoken for a long time, Luo Qingcheng didn't dare to look up at him, "Is what the little demoness said true?"

As a result, there was another long silence.

"Hmph! It seems it is true." Luo Qingcheng suddenly raised her head, her lotus-root-like arms tightly wrapping around Lin Bei's neck.

Her two cherry-red lips pressed against Lin Bei's lips unexpectedly, "I don't care! Brother-in-law, I... I don't want to fall behind either."

Lin Bei took a deep breath and raised his hand to stroke her beautiful hair, "Little sister Qingcheng, you are still young..."

"Young?" Luo Qingcheng puffed out her chest defiantly, "Where am I young?"

"I'm clearly only a little bit younger than Sister Xiaobo and that little demoness..."

"Sister Liu Wei and Sister Qianyun are about the same as me, and Sister Shirui is clearly even younger."

Lin Bei couldn't help but look down... Eh? It really isn't small!

This scale is indeed several levels larger than when he first saw this little girl!

Seeing the heat in Lin Bei's eyes, Luo Qingcheng became even bolder and grabbed his hand, placing it on her chest.

"Brother-in-law... Just looking with your eyes might not be accurate, oh. Come, feel it."

Lin Bei was stunned by her initiative, and his palm began to move involuntarily.

Is this what they mean by "one takes on the attributes of those one associates with"? Always hanging out with Shangguan Yue, even though they are rivals, she still learned to be bad?

"Ah..." Under Lin Bei's demonic claws, Luo Qingcheng quickly let out her first soft moan.

This sound was like a horn signaling the start of a battle. Lin Bei stopped being dazed and turned passive into active!

He could see that for Luo Qingcheng to do those things earlier, she had actually spent a great deal of courage. If he didn't respond, it would really hurt this little girl's heart.

With a thought, the seventh floor of the small tower was completely sealed. Even Qin Xiaobo couldn't get in at this moment.

"Little sister Qingcheng, are you ready..."

"Mm..."

After the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, a crisp, lark-like cry echoed through the seventh floor...
