Chapter 115: On Video Call

Actually, the part Ling Xiaoyou exposed wasn’t all that much—she wasn’t even close to being indecent—but Bai Shuanglian’s aggressively intense gaze made her unbearably shy.

Ling Xiaoyou hurriedly pulled up her slipped pajamas, buttoned the topmost button, then glared at the regretful Bai Shuanglian.

“Still looking? If you keep staring, I’ll gouge your eyeballs out!”

“Sorry, the scene just now was too beautiful.”

Bai Shuanglian’s voice came from the phone.

Even across such a great distance, Ling Xiaoyou felt as if she were right beside her.

“Hmph!”

Ling Xiaoyou snorted tsundere-like, but didn’t dwell on it too much.

After all, Bai Shuanglian had let her see something beautiful too, so they were even.

“By the way, does video calling make things better for you?”

Ling Xiaoyou suddenly changed the subject, grinning as she looked at Bai Shuanglian.

“It does.”

Bai Shuanglian withdrew her gaze and looked at other parts of Ling Xiaoyou’s room.

“Are you at home right now?”

“Of course.”

Ling Xiaoyou nodded her little head.

“I told you I was about to go to sleep. If I wasn’t at home, where else would I be?”

“Then…”

Bai Shuanglian paused, looking at Ling Xiaoyou.

“Can you give me a tour of your house?”

“Huh? A tour?”

Ling Xiaoyou was stunned.

She thought for a moment.

“It’s not impossible, but I’ve never shown my home to a friend before.”

As she spoke, Ling Xiaoyou got up from the bed, picked up her phone, flipped the camera, and swept it around.

“This is how my room is arranged. What do you think? Looks pretty good, right?”

“Mm, but it’s a lot more plain than I imagined.”

Bai Shuanglian nodded.

“I thought there’d be some cuter things, like stuffed dolls or something.”

“I’m not a kid. I don’t need that stuff!”

Ling Xiaoyou retorted, then chuckled mischievously.

“As for being plain… Hmph, that’s because I spent all my money where it counts!”

Ling Xiaoyou put on her fluffy slippers, opened the door, and left her room.

She wandered casually around the living room with Bai Shuanglian, giving a quick overview of the layout.

Then, with pride, she arrived at a tightly closed door.

Facing the phone, she declared to Bai Shuanglian,

“Don’t be shocked next—this is the most luxurious and satisfying place in my entire home!”

Without waiting for a reply, she pushed open the room and walked in with the phone.

This was Ling Xiaoyou’s Computer Room.

The RGB-lit case sat by the desk, looking incredibly cool.

The wide Curved Monitor was black at the moment, but it wasn’t hard to imagine the visual feast it would bring once powered on.

Due to her height, Ling Xiaoyou’s Computer Desk wasn’t set very high—just enough so she could look straight at the screen even when the Gaming Chair was lowered to its minimum.

Of course, even with the Gaming Chair at its lowest, Ling Xiaoyou’s feet still couldn’t quite reach the floor when she sat.

But she was used to it.

By the Computer Desk, some of her favorite Acrylic Character Stands from games were displayed.

The surrounding walls were decorated with many beautiful Bishoujo Posters.

Ling Xiaoyou walked over to the Gaming Chair, plopped down, spun around, and looked at Bai Shuanglian on her phone with a proud expression.

“How is it? My Computer Room is awesome, right?”

“I spent every coin where it mattered!”

Bai Shuanglian was silent for a moment.

She actually didn’t know much about these things.

She thought it was a bit odd for the rest of the place to be so plain, while the Computer Room was so luxurious.

But looking at Ling Xiaoyou’s adorable ‘praise me’ face, she brushed that thought aside.

She nodded in agreement.

“It’s really great. I wish I had a Computer Room like this too.”

“Hmph! It took me ages to upgrade everything bit by bit!”

Ling Xiaoyou snorted in satisfaction.

“But since you like it too, Bai Shuanglian, I’ll help you make one when I have time.”

“Thank you, Xiaoyou. I’ll look forward to it.”

Bai Shuanglian smiled and expressed her thanks.

Ling Xiaoyou placed the phone onto the Phone Holder beside her, flipped the camera back, and looked at Bai Shuanglian on the screen.

“By the way, Bai Shuanglian, do you want to play a game together?”

As she spoke, she turned on the computer.

Since she was already up, she might as well play for a while before going back to sleep.

“A game?”

Bai Shuanglian muttered, then looked apologetic.

“But I’ve never played a game before.”

“It’s fine, I’ll carry you! This game is super easy!”

Ling Xiaoyou waved her small hand dismissively, turned on the computer, and was about to open the game to teach Bai Shuanglian how to play.

Suddenly, she realized something critical—could the Human Realm and the Underworld actually connect?

After all, it wasn’t just a matter of distance, but a Space Barrier!

Sure, calls and video worked fine, but who knew if games would?

Thinking this, Ling Xiaoyou launched the game to test it out.

She found the Double-Realm Server that connected the Human Realm and the Underworld.

Ling Xiaoyou was shocked.

Wait, you can really play cross-realm games together?!

Then she felt a bit speechless.

Didn’t this mean you could never tell if the player on the other side was human or a ghost?

Ling Xiaoyou shook her little head, tossing away such wild thoughts.

She looked at the phone.

“Just in time, this game has a Two-Realm Server. Let me teach you how to play.”

“Okay.”

Bai Shuanglian nodded.

The screen showed she was also sitting at her Computer Desk, ready to play with Ling Xiaoyou.

After that, Ling Xiaoyou led Bai Shuanglian in happily playing the game.

They defeated countless opponents and saved many, many people—a truly delightful tale…

Yeah, right!

As for Bai Shuanglian’s gaming talent, Ling Xiaoyou could only say Bai Shuanglian did her best.

But while her cultivation talent was top-tier, her gaming talent was bottom-tier.

Staring at the ‘defeat’ symbol on the screen once more, Bai Shuanglian was silent for a while.

“Sorry. I think I dragged you down.”

Seeing Bai Shuanglian’s rare and adorable frustrated expression, Ling Xiaoyou’s fatigue disappeared.

Still, feeling happy when someone else was upset seemed a bit wrong.

So she coughed lightly.

“It’s fine. This game is just trash anyway.”

“Let’s not talk about this game. Bai Shuanglian, are you free tonight?”

Bai Shuanglian was stunned, looking at Ling Xiaoyou.

Though she didn’t understand what she wanted, she still nodded.

“As long as you’re here, I’m always free.”

Ling Xiaoyou looked at Bai Shuanglian and smiled.

“Then tonight, I want to ask you to help me train. Is that okay?”
