Gan Yu got up first to wash up before rushing off to work. Lu Lin wanted to seize the opportunity to spend some more time with Xian Yun, but Xian Yun firmly refused.
"Don't make a fuss in the morning, Shen He will hear you."
"You don't think she couldn't hear you at that volume last night, do you?" Lu Lin grinned mischievously.
Yesterday's commotion must have been impossible to hide from Shen He, but Lu Lin didn't invite Shen He to join in the Jenga game.
Firstly, it was thought that Xianyun was still in her early stages, and it would be too exciting to bring two apprentices along at once, which might be too much for her to handle; secondly, there was plenty of time ahead, and it was better to unlock all the features at once, rather than taking it slow and exploring different combinations.
"You still say that? It's all your fault!" Xianyun lightly punched him twice, but couldn't bring herself to really hit him hard.
After being "developed" by Lu Lin, her mature charm became even more pronounced, and every smile and frown exuded an incredibly alluring charm.
Lu Lin held her waist with both hands to stop her from leaving, and whispered in her ear, "How about a good morning bite?"
What is a "good morning bite"?
"that is......"
After hearing his explanation, Xianyun couldn't help but pinch him. What kind of nonsense is this rascal!
However, she still doted on Lu Lin too much, and in the end she went along with his wishes, not only giving him a morning bite, but also serving him again with a snow mountain in her hands.
Lying in bed watching his long, flowing black hair dance in the air, Lu Lin squinted and sighed.
This is life!
Chapter 96 A Gift for Qiqi (Bonus Chapter for Monthly Tickets)
Enjoying life, Lu Lin eventually returned to the Chen Ge Pot alone at Xian Yun's request.
Before Zi'a Shenhe went to work, Xianyun refused to let him leave his room no matter what.
He was willing to cooperate. How could he bear to refuse his older sister's small request, since she loved him so much?
He had just finished the system task yesterday, but hadn't had time to look at it yet. He decided to take this opportunity to review his recent achievements.
Lu Lin hadn't paid attention to the system's backend messages for a long time; the latest ones were the two from yesterday.
[Reaching 100% completion of Xianyun's strategy will earn you 1000 points and 500 experience points.]

Lu Lin had gained a lot during this period and opened his host panel.

As more and more members join, you can earn 100 points every day by interacting with each new member, so your points accumulate very quickly.
Lu Lin used the newly acquired Soul Spirit Beads, bringing Gui Zhong's soul integrity to 40.01%. She only needed three more Soul Spirit Beads to completely repair her soul.
The two new entries are: "Undefended" is a bit of a dud, I can't find its use yet, but the newly acquired "Photographic Memory" is very useful, I'll give it to Qiqi.
Because of her zombie constitution, Qiqi has always had a poor memory. Using vocabulary to enhance her memory can reduce a lot of trouble in her life.
Just a few days ago, he comforted Yao Yao, saying that if she persevered, they would definitely find a way to cure Qi Qi. Now, the solution has come!
Lu Lin calculated the time and realized that Shen He should have left, so he left Chen Ge Hu and returned to Xianyun Bedroom.
Xianyun was tidying up a few ingeniously designed little mechanisms when she saw him appear. She pointed to the table and said, "Are you hungry? I left you breakfast. Eat it while it's hot!"
The older sister is truly thoughtful and caring.
"Hehe, did Shen He say anything?" Lu Lin asked while eating his breakfast.
"She didn't say anything, but I felt she was exceptionally happy today. She must have heard something last night."
Shen He was not bound by worldly etiquette and did not think that serving the same man as her master was a big deal. Being able to spend the rest of her life with her master, senior sister, and Lu Lin was the happiest thing for her.
In fact, as immortals, Xianyun and Ganyu didn't take this matter very seriously. Xianyun cared more, but couldn't resist Lu Lin's advances, while Ganyu accepted it quite readily.
It's clear that Xianyun received positive feedback from Shenhe and is in a good mood.
"Should I prepare a place for you to stay in the Dust Song Pot as well?"
"Hmm~ Let's not do it for now. I'm not very familiar with Ningguang and the others, and it would be awkward if we ran into each other inside. Besides, there's a junior like Xiangling... You're not allowed to tell them about me!"
Xianyun was still concerned about her reputation. She couldn't avoid talking about her own apprentice, but she wanted to keep it a secret from others for the time being.
"Okay, okay, I'll do whatever you say, sister! After the system is upgraded again and the range of movement inside the pot is expanded, I'll find a secluded place and build you a workshop specifically for researching mechanical arts."
Lu Lin wrapped his arms around her waist from behind. After being moistened, Xianyun looked even more mature and charming. Her curvaceous figure was a wonderful pleasure to hold in his arms.
Xianyun noticed his change and gently patted his hand: "Don't bother me during the day, I just changed my clothes."
"Then tonight is fine?"
Xianyun bit her lip and remained silent.
"Alright, I'm not going to bother you anymore. I'm going out to find Qiqi at Bubulu."
The understanding Xianyun didn't ask him where he was going, but simply gave him a tender, long kiss.
......
Lu Lin can now be considered a very idle person in Liyue. Even the Geo Archon, who is usually a carefree wanderer in the mortal world, still has to go to the Hall of Rebirth from time to time. Compared to Lu Lin, he can be described as very busy.
After leaving Xianyun's house, he took a detour to buy some of the most famous pastries in Liyue Harbor before heading towards Bubulu.
Bubulu was also quiet today, with few patients, and only Agui was in the shop.
"Agui, isn't Qiqi here?" Lu Lin had already gotten to know Agui when he escorted Qiqi and Yaoyao back last time.
"Yaoyao is here, she took Qiqi to play in the nearby mountains." Agui pointed behind her.
"Okay, I'll go find them!"
The area behind Bubulu is also within the Tianheng Mountain range. The weather was perfect today, with bright sunshine, and Lu Lin quickly found two adorable little girls sitting on a large rock, enjoying the scenery and reading.
"Yaoyao, Qiqi, what are you doing!" Lu Lin waved and greeted them from a distance.
Hearing Lu Lin's voice, Yao Yao panicked a little, hurriedly stuffing the book in her hand into her small basket, then waved to Lu Lin with feigned composure: "Brother Lu Lin~"
Qi Qi, who was sitting next to her and reading a book, seemed to be taking notes. She slowly put her notebook into her handbag.
"What are you two doing so mysteriously?" Lu Lin noticed their actions and walked over to ask them suspiciously.
"Nothing much, just spending time with Qiqi, basking in the sun and chatting~"
Lu Lin was speechless. Qi Qi was a zombie. Although she had a special constitution and was not afraid of the sun, it was not like she liked it. Why did you specially accompany her to sunbathe?
However, he didn't expose Yao Yao. It's normal for a young girl to have her own little secrets, and there's no need to dig deeper.
He squatted down in front of Qiqi, looked at her adorable face, and asked, "Qiqi, do you remember me?"
"I remember...you're Brother Lu Lin...you're...you're Qi Qi's...boyfriend!"
Hearing that she hadn't forgotten him, Lu Lin happily snapped his fingers: "Qiqi, you're awesome! Your brother Lu Lin brought you a gift today~ Do you want to know what it is?"
A hint of anticipation appeared in Qiqi's eyes: "Qiqi... wants to know!"
Chapter 97: What can a girlfriend do?
"Let's go somewhere else, to Chen Ge Hu." Lu Lin grabbed a little girl's hand and disappeared in a flash.
"What gift did Brother Lu Lin prepare for Qi Qi? Why is he being so mysterious?" Yao Yao was also very curious about Lu Lin's mysterious appearance, and along with her curiosity, she was also a little envious.
She wants a gift too.
Yao Yao is very sensible and obedient. She never causes trouble for adults and even takes care of others. So even if she wants something, she won't actually say it.
"Hehe, there are many gifts. The first one is prepared for the two of you together."
"For the two of us?" Yao Yao's curiosity was piqued, and Qi Qi also tilted her head, her eyes filled with even more anticipation.
Lu Lin led the two of them to Gan Yu's lakeside villa, next to which was another courtyard.
The yard is filled with flowers and plants, it's practically a small sea of flowers, and there are two swings in the middle of the sea of flowers, it's so beautiful, it's like being in a fairy tale world.
"Wow! What a beautiful sea of flowers, and a swing!" Although Yao Yao is very sensible, she is still innocent and has no resistance to beautiful things like flowers, plants, and swings.
Lu Lin put his hands under Qi Qi's armpits, picked her up, and placed her on the swing. Yao Yao, who could have climbed up by herself, also stretched out her hands to Lu Lin, saying, "Brother Lu Lin, carry me up~"
How could Lu Lin bear to refuse the request of such a lovely girl? He smiled and bent down, just about to hug her, when Yao Yao stood on tiptoe and kissed Lu Lin on the lips.
The girl's lips were as delicate and soft as flower petals, with a faint sweetness. Lu Lin subconsciously sucked on them lightly. At that moment, a nimble little tongue slipped in and entangled with Lu Lin.
hiss~
Where did this little girl learn that from?
He had witnessed Yao Yao's self-taught talent before, and in just two days, she seemed to have improved a lot...
Did he secretly learn it on his own?
However, Lu Lin has never lost to anyone when it comes to kissing. If a girl dares to challenge him, she should be prepared to face a storm.
The kiss lingered for a long time. Lu Lin went from being passive at the beginning to actively seizing Yao Yao's sweetness until the girl's cheeks were flushed and her breathing was a little difficult before the two separated.
"Brother Lu Lin, Yao Yao misses you~"
"Qiqi wants to too..." The girl on the swing spoke slowly, but her tone was a little urgent, as if she was afraid of being left out.
Lu Lin carried Yao Yao onto the swing, turned around and pinched Qi Qi's cheek, which was cool to the touch: "What are you thinking about, Qi Qi? Do you miss me, or do you want a kiss?"
"I miss you! I want a kiss too!" Qiqi looked at Lu Lin with a curious and longing expression on her adorable little face.
Lu Lin did not immediately grant her wish. Instead, he pushed the two of them on a swing. The girl flew high among the flowers, her purple and green dresses fluttering in the air like two splendid flowers.
Qiqi wasn't very agile, and flying a little high made her nervous. She gripped the swing ropes tightly with both hands, afraid to let go.
Until Lu Lin took her hand.
Lu Lin was tall enough that even holding her hand didn't affect the swing's movement. His hands were warm, and although Qi Qi usually disliked hot things, she thoroughly enjoyed this warmth that went straight to her heart.
After playing on the swings for a while, Lu Lin carried the two adorable girls into the room.
The room is decorated in pink, giving it a very girly feel. There is a huge bed in the middle of the bedroom, which is covered with all kinds of cute little animal dolls.
"Little, little sparrow!" Qiqi's eyes lit up when she saw the sparrow doll; it was her favorite.
"So many pretty dolls!" Yao Yao kicked off her shoes, pounced on the bed, and buried herself in the pile of dolls. She rolled around in them, then turned around and waved to Qi Qi, "Qi Qi, come and play!"
"Coming, coming!" Qiqi awkwardly took off her shoes and climbed onto the bed, hugging the peacock doll and studying it.
The dolls were redeemed by Lu Lin from the system shop; their workmanship and quality were excellent, and they were well-liked by the two innocent and lovely girls.
Lu Lin sat on the edge of the bed and smiled, "Do you like it here? It's a gift for you. From now on, this will be your home in the Dust Song Pot."
"Home?" Qiqi tilted her head, thinking as if trying to understand what home was.
"Isn't it too expensive to give it to us?" The sensible Yao Yao was a little surprised. In her understanding, building such a courtyard would cost a lot.
"It's okay, this is my world. I don't need to spend any money to build these things." Lu Lin gently rubbed her cheek. "As my girlfriend, it's only natural for you to have a house in my world!"
Look, Sister Ganyu's house is right next to yours, and Ningguang and Keqing are still in the sky...
"Well, shall we accept it then?"
The word "girlfriend" made Yao Yao feel happy; she actually liked this place very much.
