Starting from a Magical Girl, Dominating Eternity

Chapter 617: Chapter 195: Sleeping Together Under the Same Blanket (6700)_2

Even without any scent, the sheer visual effect gave a sense of overwhelming heat, as if the smell of sweat could faintly be detected.

However, in reality, it wasn’t the case. Jiang Si wasn’t sweating, and the warm atmosphere in the room wouldn’t carry the scent of sweat so far.

Yin Lian, whose heart was fluttering like a deer, kept searching for adjectives.

Hormones?

Daphne? Mambalam or something like masculine scent...

In any case, she couldn’t figure it out. She had read fewer romance comics than Keke and couldn’t find the right words.

Lying stiff on the floor, she tried hard to tug at Keke to wake her friend up.

Yet, Keke only turned over and continued to sleep soundly on her own.

It was clearly your idea to come chat in Jiang Si’s room, and now you’ve fallen asleep, leaving me alone!

Stupid Keke!

"I-I-I’m asleep now..."

What am I even saying!

Jiang Si got up, intent on picking up the two girls and throwing them out.

Yin Lian sat up with a smack, "I’m awake!"

After jolting up, she almost pressed against Jiang Si, and finally, she could clearly smell Jiang Si’s scent.

No sweat smell, no hormonal scent, but rather the aroma of machine oil and steel from a factory.

Quite pleasant...

Instinctively scooting back, nearly leaning against Keke, she looked at Jiang Si, who crouched down, "We- We’re just here to chat with you."

"About what?"

"Keke said she hopes you can watch her match, to see her strength..."

As she spoke, yin Lian glanced at Jiang Si’s neck after calming down.

The Miracle Seed necklace that used to hang there was gone.

"After all, Miss Zi Yuan taught her a lot, you should see the results."

Jiang Si let out an "oh," without adding anything further.

He indeed was quite interested in Keke’s current capabilities.

Couldn’t quite win against Yu Mo, so the specific progress was hard to gauge. This would be a good opportunity.

Moreover, along the way to Southern China, the variety of promotional posters, screenings, and the fervent discussions among locals suggested a sense of destiny. Perhaps a Spiritual Treasure might emerge, or an ethereal being might be born, or some miraculous object might appear.

"Keke has always been worried about you disappearing again, so she wanted to fall asleep here. I’m a bit worried too, whether you went to a dangerous place with Zi Yuan again."

"No."

Jiang Si saw that she seemed to want to chat for a long time and simply lay down. The bedding was already made, so he switched off the light and pulled up the blanket.

Let her talk as she pleases, it wasn’t threatening at all.

Besides, Yin Lian’s voice was soft and gentle, sounding almost hypnotic.

A perfect background sound for falling asleep.

Since their last battle, Jiang Si had categorized her as non-threatening.

Yin Lian’s magic was adept at large-scale engagements with Disaster Beasts, excelling in endurance battles.

She lacked explosive power in one-on-one encounters, and her skills were limited, having already fallen behind Keke.

This time’s [Absolute Quest Magic Battle Royale] clearly posed no threat to Keke.

Not to mention that among the arrivals so far, only An Shiyu seemed truly threatening. If Mu Jin were to substitute for her, Keke might not be the better one. Mu Jin was proficient in space magic using An Shiyu’s body, and her combat experience was commendable.

Not even many in the Cyan Cloud Sect could handle her with ease.

Luckily, Mu Jin herself had a Heart Image Domain, and An Shiyu hadn’t reached New Seedlings stage, so there was no need to compete for the Heart Image Domain quota.

As for the Beihai Magical Girl accompanying this operation, there wasn’t much threat, leaving it to see if any powerful magical girls emerged from Southern China.

While it’s new territory, and the overall power level rose, Keke, equipped with both Yin and Yang, could potentially exert the Holy Light Demonic Collapse Body’s full force. While winning the championship was not a guarantee, since no one knew if Keke would make a blunder under such high pressure due to lack of practice, securing a top-three spot shouldn’t be a problem.

Following suit, Yin Lian carefully inched closer, wriggling her way next to Jiang Si.

Though somewhat anxious, she only needed to keep imagining her sister’s appearance in her mind.

Anxiety and unease would vanish into thin air.

Sister was the best tranquilizer.

Especially when facing Jiang Si.

"Jiang Si..."

"Mm."

"I don’t want to take revenge for my sister, nor do I want to become Zi Yuan’s enemy for her."

"Mm."

"My parents say I’m cold-hearted." Yin Lian curled up, cautiously hooking her toes, pressing them against Jiang Si’s bedding, "an ungrateful wretch, so I’ve been desperately trying to prove that I’m not. I keep telling myself, even if my sister made mistakes, she was once good to me. Others can dislike her, but I can’t."

"But I can’t do it. I bear no hatred for the person who killed my sister, nor do I seek revenge. I even want to be closer to her."

Yin Lian clasped her hands by her mouth tightly, "It’s really annoying..."

The room fell into silence.

Yin Lian actually wanted to reach out and touch Jiang Si, yet due to the darkness, she always felt like she was facing emptiness.

She feared no one was listening as she poured her heart out, but lacked the courage to reach out her hand.

It was always like this.

Whatever she did was always half-baked.

Love was blurry, hate was timid.

Testing others’ opinions, yet too scared to speak plainly.

"Indeed."

When the other party affirmed her words, admitting the matter, she would slump into her own melancholy once more.
