Upon further thought, Chen Ling seemed to have never really praised herself.

Well, he did praise her cuteness just today! Hehe~

〚 Ding~ The target feels happy~ Points +100,000! 〛

Chen Ling: ???

“What are you thinking?”

“Huh?” Sui Li’er quickly shook her head.

“Nothing! Nothing.”

Chen Ling casually said, “Still watching? It’s not that interesting, just a bunch of rookies pecking at each other.”

“Huh? But they seem impressive…”

Chen Ling shrugged, noncommittal.

“Let’s go back then~ Whee!” With that, she reached out his hand and activated the skill: Holding Hands!

Chen Ling then pulled her back home.

Coincidentally, the takeout had arrived.

“Oh! You’ve just come back. I was about to call you.” The little fox held an umbrella and grinned at Chen Ling and Sui Li’er.

“Huh? Is it raining?” Sui Li’er looked up and realized that it had been raining all along.

However, Chen Ling somehow dispersed all the raindrops that were about to fall near them, using some means unknown to Sui Li’er.

“You guys moved here? When I checked the location, I thought the system had made a mistake.”

“Hehe~ I said I wanted to come here, and he brought me here!” She smiled shyly, as if showing off how good Chen Ling was to her.

“Tsk tsk~” The little fox wore a smile that held an ambiguous meaning and then entered the house.

“You ordered the Monster World’s Great Growth Combo~”

“Huh? Why is it still the Growth Combo?” Sui Li’er was puzzled. Normally, they should have something different each day. But she had the impression that she had already eaten the same thing several times.

Before the little fox could speak, Chen Ling directly said, “Ahem, this one is the cheapest. What’s wrong? Don’t want to eat it?”

“Oh no! Cheap is good! Hehe~” Upon hearing that it was cheap, Sui Li’er couldn’t help but enthusiastically agree. After eating such expensive meals all the time, she was starting to feel a bit embarrassed.

The little fox glanced at Chen Ling and noticed the threat written all over his face. It clearly said, “Say anything and I’ll kill you.”

Her heart skipped a beat, her eyes darted around, and she quickly said, “Ahem~ I’ll leave first. Enjoy your meal~”

Meanwhile, Sui Li’er looked at the large meal in front of her, made from who knows what, and couldn’t help but fall into contemplation: Will eating this really make me grow bigger?

She had been seriously injured at the children’s clothing store earlier today.

In her mind, thoughts of Yan Ran emerged, and she suddenly felt like a primary school student in front of her. Involuntarily, she secretly glanced at Chen Ling.

Chen Ling noticed and his face immediately turned red. He pretended to be calm and said, “What’s the matter? If you don’t want to eat it, I can change to a different combo.”

“I’ll eat it!” Sui Li’er suddenly became spirited, raising her voice. She couldn’t miss this opportunity.

But quickly realizing that she had lost her composure, her face turned red and her momentum instantly deflated. She said, “Um… I’ll eat it. This one is actually quite tasty. Yeah!” Definitely not because I want to grow bigger!

Chen Ling felt relieved seeing her reaction. If it’s tasty, then eat more.

He then used the system to set an alarm clock for 6 o’clock in the morning. He specifically made some space for Sui Li’er, to ensure she wouldn’t have nowhere to lie down later.

After closing his eyes, he thought for a moment and took out a remote control.

“Little fool.”

“Huh?” Sui Li’er had food in her mouth, but when she heard him call her, she quickly turned her head, only for him to call her a fool again.

With her mouth full, she wanted to retort, “Mmm!” (I’m not!)

Chen Ling said, “This thing, a remote control, pressing here can turn on the TV. Pressing it again will turn it off. There are words on it. If you really don’t know how to use it, then you’re really a fool.”

“Huh?” Sui Li’er looked confused and asked, “What’s this for? Why are you giving it to me?”

Chen Ling tossed the remote control and closed his eyes directly, saying, “When you’re bored, you can watch TV.”

“Oh~ Hehe~ Alright!”

Then Chen Ling closed his eyes.

After finishing her meal, Sui Li’er glanced at Chen Ling. Tilting her head, she noticed that he had put on earphones again. She muttered in a low voice, “You’re not eating again?”

It seemed like Chen Ling hadn’t eaten anything for several days.

Blushing, she gently crawled to his side and lay down beside him. With her beautiful eyes wide open, she stared at him. After a while, she picked up the remote control and followed Chen Ling’s instructions to turn on the TV.

The TV was now connected to the signals of this world, displaying news reports and programs from this world. However, Sui Li’er found it extremely boring. She quickly switched through the channels, showing her proficiency in operating the device.

The screen kept flashing, and suddenly Sui Li’er paused and quickly rewound a few times.

“Is that her?” The person on the screen was none other than Yan Ran.

“Wow, why is she everywhere?” Sui Li’er looked at Yan Ran on the TV with envy in her eyes.

It was a video of an interview she had given, with Xiao Dai Bi standing beside her. But Sui Li’er only had eyes for Yan Ran.

At that moment, one of the interviewers asked:

〚 Respected Grand Mage Yan Ran, what is your opinion on the increasingly rampant dark mages within the borders of Fire Country? 〛

After hearing the question, Yan Ran looked towards the interviewer. She lightly flicked her hair, her gaze intensified, and her presence was extraordinary. Even through the screen, Sui Li’er could feel her dominance.

“As long as I am alive, I will not tolerate or indulge them. No matter what conspiracies and tricks they have, we will crush them.”

“We have a duty to eradicate the dirty parasites among the mages.”

〚 As the youngest high-level Grand Mage in history, do you have anything to say to the younger generation? 〛

Yan Ran’s gaze remained firm: “I hope that each person can find their own value of existence, and strive to protect their important ones and this beautiful homeland. Life doesn’t stop, the fight never ends.”

“Wow! So cool!” Sui Li’er instantly became a little fan of Yan Ran.

Yan Ran sis is so cool! No wonder everyone likes her so much.

The value of each person’s existence?

What is my value?

Sui Li’er pondered for a moment, then looked towards Chen Ling beside her. Although she hadn’t found her own value of existence yet, she had an important person by her side!

Hehe~

Sui Li’er pursed her lips and muttered softly: “I will be the one to protect Lord God!”

Saying that, she even made a cheering gesture, but her momentum was zero and it made quite a commotion. The sofa shook up and down twice.

Chen Ling frowned and turned over.

“Oops~ I’m sorry, I’m sorry!” ＞人＜!

Sui Li’er quickly apologized in a low voice. I guess I’ll start by protecting the sleep of Lord God…

Then she gently climbed off the sofa, took a small blanket from her room, and blushing, gently covered Chen Ling with it.

This seems like a wife… hehe.

Chen Ling had already woken up, but he didn’t pay any attention to her. In his heart: Hmm, not bad. She even knows how to cover me with a blanket, then let’s continue to sleep.

Sui Li’er stood by the sofa, looking at the sleeping Chen Ling, feeling happy in her heart: Mission of protection accomplished today!

She became a bit cheesy.

Just then, the TV behind them broadcasted another interview:

〚 Interviewer: What are your thoughts on the upcoming Joint Grand Examination in a few days? 〛

Yan Ran: “There’s not much to say. As the Twelve Academies are the best academies in the whole world, being here means getting closer to our dreams. Of course, that’s assuming everyone has dreams.”

Joint Grand Examination?

What’s that?

Sui Li’er looked at the TV with some confusion. But it seems that passing the exam would allow entry into the Celestial Academy? And becoming stronger like Yan Ran sis?

To be honest, Sui Li’er felt a little tempted and wanted to give it a try. When Chen Ling wakes up, she decides to talk to him about it!

Although she’s always happy being with Chen Ling. But she can only ever be his little follower. She also wanted to help Chen Ling, she wanted to protect him.

She sat on the sofa for a while, watching TV until the end of Yan Ran’s interview. Then Sui Li’er turned off the TV, yawned, and gently crawled over to Chen Ling’s side.

She lay on her side like a little cat, looking at him. Mew~ It feels more like sleeping on the same bed with the blanket…

As she looked at Chen Ling, who was so close, her little face gradually turned red.

“Can I get under the blanket?” Sui Li’er muttered softly.

“I’ll count to three, two, one, and if you don’t say anything, it means you agree! Hehe~”

“Three…”

Chen Ling suddenly opened his eyes. “No.”

“Ah!” Sui Li’er shivered suddenly. “You, you, you, why did you wake up!”

Chen Ling had just woken up.

“I-I-I was just joking! I don’t want to sleep with you!” Blushing, Sui Li’er quickly moved back, keeping her distance from him.

Seeing her shy appearance, Chen Ling couldn’t help but think: Is this person really my wife? It should be fine if we sleep together, right?

Ahem… Just sleeping together innocently. No harm done, as long as I’m pure.

With that, he lifted the blanket and his face turned red at the same time. “Come here!”

“Ah?” Sui Li’er’s heart almost jumped out of her chest!

She opened her mouth, wanting to say something but feeling too embarrassed to say it.

Seeing her reaction, Chen Ling said lightly, “Never mind then.”

“Mew~ I want to!” Sui Li’er reached out her little hand to stop Chen Ling from putting down the blanket and quickly crawled in.

“Thump thump thump~” Whether it was because it was too warm inside the blanket or because she herself was feeling feverish, she felt like her whole body was about to burn, emitting heat!

Help, it’s so hot! ( X_X )

However, although the two of them were under the same blanket, there was no physical contact. They were just simply sharing a blanket.

Even so, Chen Ling silently recited the “Still mind” incantation a hundred and eighty times in his mind. How was he supposed to sleep like this?

After a while, Sui Li’er, probably feeling too hot, snuggled up to him, her breathing gradually becoming steady. However, Chen Ling couldn’t fall asleep at all.

Just then, the system’s alarm clock went off.

〚 Ding~ It’s already 6:30 a.m. in the Eternal Realm. Ding dong ding~ 〛

Chen Ling turned off the alarm clock and waited for ten minutes before dialing his mother’s number.

〚 Mmm~ Chenchen? 〛

“Yes, it’s me. Are you asleep?”

Because Sui Li’er was next to him, Chen Ling didn’t speak out loud but answered his mother using his thoughts.

〚 Mmm~ Ah-woo~ 〛

On the other end of the call, a big yawn was heard, and the voice gradually became clearer:

〚 Hehe~ What’s up, my little baby? 〛

“Mom, can you tell me the truth? Was Sui Li’er and me coming to this realm arranged by you and Dad?”

〚 Um, well, Chenchen, you’ll know the answer to that yourself in the future. 〛

Chen Ling: Hiss~ Isn’t that a meaningless answer!

〚 But, your dad and I have never arranged anything. It’s all your own choices. 〛

“My choices?” Chen Ling became even more confused. What choices did I make?

“Can you tell me if I will be a god in the future?”

〚 Hehe~ I can’t say anything about that. I’m afraid… 〛

Just then, Sui Li’er suddenly murmured:

“Mew~ Chen Ling, don’t…”

Chen Ling: ???

His mom: ???

“Mom! Please listen to my explanation!”
