Chapter 105: Baby Lin Xue

Su Qi clearly remembered that when he was fourteen years old and still a boy, there was a quiet night.

Because he had eaten too much for the “dinner of love” prepared by Elder Sister Wen Yin, he was bursting with energy and decided to give himself a little reward.

However, just as he was halfway through his reward under the blankets, his boundary-crossing elder sister suddenly barged in.

Looking back at the moment his sister broke into his room, stared him down, and gave him that “smug warrior” smirk while saying, “Heh heh, Xiao Qi, what in the world are you doing?”

At the time, Su Qi thought that was likely the most embarrassing moment of his life.

But now, hearing An Xiaoling’s adorable loli voice recount the details of the eavesdropping via the Guild Badge, Su Qi felt his record for embarrassment had just been shattered.

Even though Senior Sister Lin and An Xiaoling did it out of concern, and it was only an audio recording without visuals… no matter how he looked at it, this was way too embarrassing!

Because the news An Xiaoling brought was too stimulating for the introverted Su Qi, he felt his cheeks burning.

His brain didn’t know how to react for a moment.

By the time he regained his senses, he had already walked into the teleportation array with the four beautiful girls without even realizing it.

After the familiar dizzying sensation of teleportation passed and his vision cleared, Su Qi saw the familiar Adventurers’ Hall inside the Lin Hidden Mansion.

Before they could even step out of the teleportation array, the combination of five beautiful girls proved to be too dazzling.

Soon, the voices of many adventurers echoed through the guild.

“Holy crap, what kind of beautiful girl group is this?”

“The one on the far left is a Magical Girl, second from the left is an Elf sister, the one on the far right is a Queen, second from the right is a Blood Princess, and I don’t recognize the beauty in the middle. But man, I like her.”

“Hey, look at what the girl in the middle is holding. It looks like the A-level bounty, the Saint Ash Rabbit.”

“Hiss, a Saint Ash Rabbit? That 10,000-point collection quest? I really didn’t think anyone could actually pull that off!”

“Wait, am I the only one who feels like the atmosphere between these five girls is a bit weird?”

Su Qi felt many gazes falling on him.

Hearing the chatter about their group, especially the unintentional comment from the last person, a thin layer of sweat broke out on Su Qi’s delicate forehead.

After all, ever since An Xiaoling and Senior Sister Lin Xue arrived, Su Qi, who was being protected right in the middle by the two of them, could clearly feel the strange atmosphere.

However, even after thinking for a long time, Su Qi didn’t know what to say.

Should he explain how he ended up getting intimate with Mo Yu due to force majeure?

Ugh… just thinking about it was a shameful play.

As for saying anything else, it felt like he would just be making things more suspicious.

Fortunately, just as Su Qi was feeling the immense pressure of being surrounded by the four girls, a voice as sweet as a celestial melody rang out, allowing him to catch his breath.

“Sister Su Su, it’s so good to see you and the Magical Girl back safely. You have no idea how worried I’ve been these past two days. Wow, you actually caught a Saint Ash Rabbit! Are you here to turn in the quest? Oh, that’s right, Xiaoling told me you want to adopt this little grey rabbit. I’ll take you to handle the procedures now.”

The speaker was none other than Lu Ran, the front desk mascot of the Adventurers’ Guild.

Because they were both girls and because Su Qi was introverted and gentle, she had a good impression of him from their previous interactions.

Unlike how she treated other adventurers with a professional formula, Lu Ran walked straight up to Su Qi and affectionately took his hand, leading him toward the lounge area.

An Xiaoling watched Lu Ran, the front desk mascot who was already making a move after only meeting Su Qi three times.

Perhaps because more and more love rivals had been appearing lately—and two of them had already “eaten” the delicious Su Qi before her—An Xiaoling’s delicate eyebrows twitched out of instinctive competition and defensiveness.

Her cute pink cheeks puffed out slightly.

The next second, she ran two steps forward like a little butterfly and grabbed Su Qi’s arm.

As An Xiaoling and Su Qi left, Mo Yu, who was standing beside An Xiaoling, was about to follow them.

However, she was stopped by a mature, sisterly voice.

“Junior Schoolmate Mo Yu, right? Let’s have a chat over there.”

Hearing the voice of Su Qi’s neighbor, Elder Sister Wen Yin, Mo Yu didn’t know what she wanted to talk about.

But thinking about what had happened in the Enchanted Grinding Barrier and considering that Su Qi likely still liked the woman, Mo Yu agreed to Gu Wen Yin’s request after a brief thought.

As Lin Xue stood alone by the teleportation array, watching Mo Yu and Gu Wen Yin walk toward another meeting room in perfect, calm sync, her eyebrows furrowed just as An Xiaoling’s had.

However, unlike An Xiaoling, who was guarding against a new rival, Lin Xue just felt it was strange.

An Xiaoling had just mentioned the eavesdropping on the Guild Badge.

Logically, as a rival who liked Su Qi excessively, Gu Wen Yin should have been absolutely furious.

Yet, what was this current situation? Not only did they not start a fight, they went off to negotiate.

And seeing Gu Wen Yin’s calm and gentle demeanor… was it just an illusion? Why did she seem like the dignified “first wife” and head of a household from ancient times?

Strange, it was truly too strange.

Though she was curious about what Gu Wen Yin and Mo Yu were going to discuss, Lin Xue decided to ignore them after a moment’s thought and chased after Su Qi instead.

She had no choice; while listening to Su Qi’s Guild Badge, Lin Xue had made a startling discovery.

Her teammate, the loli An Xiaoling, also seemed to like Su Qi, judging by her angry expressions and the Lily Novels she wrote.

Thinking back to a few days ago when she, Mo Yu, and Gu Wen Yin were in the detention center, An Xiaoling and Su Qi’s relationship had clearly become much closer.

To prevent An Xiaoling from “snatching a snack,” Lin Xue immediately followed them.

Su Qi was unaware of the thoughts swirling in the minds of the several beautiful girls.

At the moment, he had been pulled into a room by Lu Ran, the front desk mascot, who was carefully registering the little guy.

Unlike registering a normal pet, registering a Spirit Beast was much more troublesome.

Not only did there need to be a danger assessment, but many guarantees and commitment letters had to be signed.

Fortunately, Su Xixi was a Saint Ash Rabbit with very low combat power; compared to mount creatures like wolf riders, it saved some trouble.

“Xixi~ Xixi~”

Perhaps because it was her first time in human society and she felt the gazes of so many humans, Su Xixi felt very insecure.

Like a kitten, she buried her entire head into Su Qi’s chest, looking exceptionally cute.

After taking some time to adapt, she gradually grew bolder.

Starting to look around from Su Qi’s arms, the little guy soon spotted a cup of Coca-Cola sitting on the table.

“Xi~ Xi~”

She gently nudged the two “big mountains” on Su Qi’s chest.

Under Su Qi’s curious gaze, Su Xixi looked longingly at the cup of cola.

Seeing the little guy’s cute expression and small request, Su Qi didn’t think twice.

He immediately put down his pen and paper, picking up the cup to let the little guy taste this human delicacy.

But before Su Qi could move, he felt the weight in his arms lighten.

The next second, a playful girl’s voice rang out in the room.

“Junior Schoolmate Su Qi, let me help you feed the little guy. You hurry up and finish the procedures. Once they’re done and we return to the Cangyou Wildcat Team, we need to have a proper meeting regarding this crisis.”

Hearing Senior Sister Lin Xue’s suggestion and seeing An Xiaoling nod in silent agreement, Su Qi couldn’t help but shiver.

Even though he was introverted and a bit slow when it came to emotional intelligence, he could still tell from recent events that both An Xiaoling and Senior Sister Lin Xue held feelings for him that went beyond friendship.

And thinking about how the two of them had eavesdropped on the intimate details between him and his good brother Mo Yu…

Su Qi couldn’t help but give a small shudder.

He felt that the upcoming meeting wasn’t going to be simple.

While Su Qi was trembling as he filled out the registration forms, Su Xixi sat obediently on Lin Xue’s lap.

Since she had seen Lin Xue with Su Qi several times, her resistance was minimal.

The little rabbit began happily drinking the ice-cold cola.

“Xi-ha~”

Perhaps the taste of the magical drink was too incredible.

With every beautiful sip, the little guy would let out a strange and exaggerated sigh of satisfaction.

Her two short white legs kicked back and forth in a cute manner.

Seeing the little guy drinking so happily, Lin Xue couldn’t help but feel a bit envious.

With her Blood Princess Ability, she wasn’t interested in human food.

Usually, she spent a lot of money to buy blood.

However, ordinary cold blood was mostly just to satisfy hunger and wasn’t tasty at all.

The last time she had eaten something delicious was when she tasted Su Qi’s sweet, flavorful blood while helping him detoxify.

That taste was something she could never forget.

However, remembering that sucking blood would make a person weak, and considering that her current relationship with Su Qi wasn’t close enough to allow for blood-sucking, Lin Xue felt a bit dejected.

She reached out and stroked the little guy’s head.

‘Must be nice, being satisfied by something so simple.’

As Lin Xue touched Su Xixi, a mysterious prophecy—just like the one from the New Passage—flashed in her mind.

The background of the vision was her own room in the Cangyou Wildcat Team’s base.

On the soft bed sat Su Qi, his hair styled in a “dangerous” side braid.

He sat there obediently, head slightly lowered, his brows carrying a soft, maternal glow, and his cheeks a cherry-blossom pink.

In his arms, Lin Xue herself was being held like a baby.

Then, acting exactly like an infant, her cheeks puffed out, radiating an indescribable sense of satisfaction. Just like a baby.

Gulp.

As the beautiful vision flashed by, Lin Xue subconsciously swallowed her saliva as if savoring the feeling.

But quickly, she shook her head, thinking it was impossible.

Even though Su Qi had turned into a girl, he didn’t have his own children, so how could he have *that*?

While thinking, Lin Xue subconsciously looked at the two beautiful mounds on Su Qi’s chest.

With just one glance, she froze in place.

‘Why do Su Qi’s little rabbits look fuller than before?’

Sniff sniff.

Following this discovery, Lin Xue followed her instincts and sniffed the air near Su Qi.

She soon found that, besides the internal sweet fragrance that always attracted her, there was indeed another mysterious, alluring scent faintly coming from Su Qi’s chest.

‘Don’t tell me that, influenced by the little guy, that prophecy was actually real?’

Realizing this, even the usually outgoing Lin Xue couldn’t help but feel a flush of crimson spread across her fair cheeks.

However, alongside the embarrassment, she now felt a bit of anticipation.

If the prophecy was real, then even if it was shameful, she wouldn’t have to worry about hurting Su Qi anymore.

And looking at herself in the vision, she seemed to be truly enjoying it.

‘But isn’t the Blood Princess Ability about sucking blood? Why does it feel like something is off?’
