Ji Lin: (ΩДΩ) Dan Zhu: Σ(っ°Д°;)っ Cang Xuan: o((⊙﹏⊙)))o Luo Hong: (ゝω·)☆ ~Ehe!
Even someone as calm as Cang Xuan couldn't help but freeze blankly when her old friend suddenly appeared right above her.
After all, her current state was hardly presentable.
Her unclad body, slender and exquisite as a snake, was covered in sweat. Below, things were even messier, with pearly white fluids making everything evident.
Of course, Dan Zhu, who was on the other side, was in a similar situation and was naturally thrown into a panic.
But at this moment, Luo Hong's hands around their waists became the trap. No matter how they struggled, they couldn't hide their disgraceful state from Ji Lin.
They could only press their bodies as close to Luo Hong as possible to minimize what Ji Lin could see.
As for Ji Lin, her brain had completely short-circuited.
This "married woman," who had entered a political marriage to balance the conflicts between tribes, was essentially still a virgin. After all, the "person" she married was just a puppet created by Dan Zhu.
Coupled with her years of warfare, she knew little of the affairs between men and women. Seeing such a scene suddenly, her pupils naturally trembled in shock.
Not to mention, the heroines of this scene were the two maidens she had once revered as gods.
Her reason told her to close her eyes, but the scene below was like a magical abyss, constantly drawing her gaze.
But as the saying goes—
When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you!
Luo Hong watched with great interest as Ji Lin's face flushed red, yet remained tight with curiosity. It added a layer of fun to the situation.
—Indeed, a delicacy like this should be tasted alongside Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu!
Finally, after the initial panic, Cang Xuan was the first to face reality.
"Luo Hong... let Ji Lin down first."
Pursing her lips, she tried hard to appear normal and calm, but her burning body and slightly trembling voice betrayed her.
"I successfully pulled Ji Lin for you, and you won't give me a reward?"
Luo Hong didn't rush to satisfy Cang Xuan's request, instead asking for credit with a playful look.
"...Mua~"
After a brief silence, Cang Xuan could only plant a kiss on the cheek of this shameless man.
"Mmh, that satisfies me for now."
Not pushing his luck with Cang Xuan, Luo Hong turned his head to look at Dan Zhu. "And do you have any display of gratitude?"
"Eh?"
Faced with Luo Hong suddenly turning his attention to her, Dan Zhu, who had just regained a shred of rationality, panicked again.
"Heh!"
Seeing this, Luo Hong chuckled lightly. "I won't make it difficult for you then—"
"Phew..."
Hearing Luo Hong say this, Dan Zhu breathed a sigh of relief. But very quickly—
"I'll state the requirement myself."
Luo Hong, having paused for dramatic effect, narrowed his eyes into a smile. "Since you are different from your sister, and that 'number' hasn't reset to zero, it means you haven't fallen hopelessly in love with me like she has."
Since he had never explicitly confirmed whether that mechanic was real or fake, he decided to continue using that setting.
"So from now on, you will address me as—"
Leaning close to Dan Zhu's ear, he exhaled softly, "Brother-in-law."
"???"
Hearing this title, a strong sense of taboo thrilled through Dan Zhu's soul. It made her look over at Cang Xuan on the other side, almost as if possessed.
Then, her small mouth parted slightly. As if beguiled by a demon, she whispered softly:
"B-Brother... Brother-in-law."
"Mmh, that's better~"
With a look of comfort, Luo Hong relaxed his hands, which had previously been as rigid as cast iron. He allowed the sisters to flee and put on their feather raiment scattered under the bed, while he set down the dumbfounded Ji Lin.
Of course, the red ropes binding Ji Lin remained, still outlining her slender and graceful figure.
"Is it nice to look at?"
Gently lifting the chin of this virgin wife with his index finger, Luo Hong asked with interest.
"It... It's nice..."
Instinctively, Ji Lin gave her answer, then turned her pretty face slightly away, daring not to look directly into Luo Hong's eyes.
In this moment of shyness, combined with her 'duck sitting' posture, she appeared incredibly charming and alluring.
"Then it seems you're having a very pleasant time in my territory."
"Huh?"
"I was asking if my territory was nice to look at just now."
Tilting his head slightly, Luo Hong asked with a face full of innocence, "Isn't that how you understood it?"
"Uh... Yes! Yes!"
Realizing she had misunderstood, Ji Lin immediately nodded vigorously like a pestle pounding garlic.
But just then—
"Ji Lin, don't fall for that guy's trap. What he asked you just now was exactly what you were thinking."
With a lingering blush on her exquisite face, Dan Zhu's beautiful rose-red eyes were full of coquettish reproach toward Luo Hong.
She then crawled over to Ji Lin's side, turned to her, and asked, "See? This guy is just as wretched as we said, isn't he?"
"Mmh..."
Nodding, Ji Lin agreed, "This gentleman is indeed quite wretched."
Setting aside the scene just now, the fact that he hadn't chosen to 'eat' her on the spot after pulling her, but instead decided to play a 'neglect play' game, was enough to fill her with despair.
However, after that initial opening, she actually couldn't feel despair anymore.
After all, she was already at rock bottom. In her imagination, any direction from here had to be up.
"Just call me by my name; no need to be so formal."
Looking at the polite Ji Lin with a warm smile, Luo Hong looked incredibly amiable.
If only he were wearing clothes right now, it would be even better.
"Just wrap yourself in the blanket for now."
On the other side, Cang Xuan, seeing Ji Lin struggling with where to look, quickly covered Luo Hong with the nearby bedding.
"Thanks for your concern, Cang Xuan."
Taking the opportunity to pull Cang Xuan into his arms for a kiss, Luo Hong finally let her go and didn't push the bedding away.
"Hmph."
With a soft hmph, Cang Xuan understood this was the price to pay. She retreated to Ji Lin's side without saying much more.
Then—
"Now, I just need to let Ji Lin go [Offline]. In your world, her physical body will be generated. I suppose that counts as resurrecting her."
Based on Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu's experience, Luo Hong made this judgment.
"However—"
Propping his elbow on the bed and resting his cheek on his fist, he struck a pose like a Sleeping Arhat and asked, "What price do you think should be paid?"
"Hmph!"
With a hmph, Dan Zhu picked up a small pillow next to her and threw it at him.
"Aren't you just lusting after Ji Lin's body?"
"Why spout all this nonsense!"
"Eating her is naturally simple."
Letting the pillow hit his face, Luo Hong maintained his smile and said, "But I want to eat her with you two as witnesses."
"Who's in favor? Who's opposed?"
Faced with his brazen declaration, the three women fell silent.
At this moment, Ji Lin suddenly realized she was still too naive.
In front of Luo Hong, even if she was already at rock bottom, this guy could still dig a pit beneath her feet!
