The End Times as a Song

Chapter 425 Meeting Openly

In her boudoir in the Pavilion of Longing, Huan Ruge splashed rose water into the air, letting the rose petals fall on her. Then she reached out and caught a petal, smelling its delicate fragrance. Next, she casually tossed the petals into the air, watching them dance in the air, as if she were dancing with them, enjoying the tranquility and joy of the moment.

Meanwhile, Lin Yin stood on the red bean tree outside the door, quietly watching everything inside the room through the window. He listened to the sound of Huan Ruge splashing water while bathing, feeling her joy and freedom. He drank his wine with unrestrained abandon, admiring the beautiful scenery before him.

"This girl, to have such a good mindset even in adversity, is truly not something an ordinary human possesses," Lin Yin murmured to himself, a sense of admiration rising in his heart for Huan Rugo.

Huan Rugo's silhouette kept appearing in Lin Yin's mind. He took a sip of wine, a strange smile unconsciously appearing on his lips, and an unusual light flashing in his eyes.

At that moment, a venomous water snake silently slipped into the room through the window. It nimbly climbed onto the table and then slowly crawled towards the bathtub where Huan Rugo was. When it reached the edge of the tub, it bared its menacing fangs at Huan Rugo, seemingly threatening her.

"Another snake...? What should I do...? Please don't come any closer...?"

Huan Rugo was terrified and quickly hid to the side. However, the little water snake ignored her warning and pounced straight at her.

"what……!"

Huan Ruge let out a scream.

"What happened...? Girl...!"

Upon hearing the shout, Lin Yin dropped the wine jug in his hand without hesitation and rushed into Huan Rugo's boudoir.

"Lin Yin...!"

The moment Lin Yin burst in, Huan Rugo was caught completely off guard, her entire body exposed before him, her private parts laid bare. Huan Rugo stared wide-eyed at Lin Yin, her body stiff and unable to move.

Just then, the little water snake suddenly attacked Huan Rugo from behind, and before she could dodge, her little hand was bitten hard. Seeing this, Lin Yin quickly used magic to knock the little water snake down and caught the naked, smooth-skinned Huan Rugo. "Beast, how dare you hurt someone...?"

Upon seeing the little water snake, Lin Yin immediately and sternly rebuked it, "You audacious little snake, how dare you be so disrespectful to her!" The little water snake, terrified at the sight of Lin Yin, turned to flee. However, Lin Yin effortlessly cast a spell, trapping it in place.

"Are you alright...? Girl...?" Lin Yin turned around, his gaze falling gently and concernedly on Huan Rugo, and asked softly.

"I...! I'm fine...! I'm fine...!" Huan Rugo's face was flushed, and she stammered as she answered, feeling too embarrassed to say a word.

"Since you're alright, put on your clothes!" Lin Yin looked at Huan Rugo, who was naked in front of him, his eyes flickering. He tried hard to control the agitation in his heart, and gently waved his arm to cast a spell, draping a garment over Huan Rugo. Then, he stood up as if nothing had happened, turned around, and faced away from Huan Rugo.

"Okay...!" Huan Rugo stood up in a panic and hurriedly put on her clothes.

"Are you done?" Lin Yin's lips curled up slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile, as if he was still immersed in the scene just now. He deliberately urged Huan Rugo, as if he wanted to see more of her reaction.

"Not yet, wait...! Don't turn around...! I'm not dressed yet...!"

Huanru, the singer, stood there awkwardly wearing the clothes Lin Yin had given her. She kept glancing at Lin Yin, afraid that he would suddenly look over and expose her naked again. She had never been seen so naked before in her entire life.

"Is it not ready yet?" Lin Yin asked again.

“Alright, you can turn around now…!” Huan Ruge replied to Lin Yin, who immediately turned around and looked at her.

"You didn't see it just now, did you?" Huan Ruge mustered up her courage and asked Lin Yin.

"I saw it all, both what I should and shouldn't have seen...?" Lin Yin looked at Huan Rugo and replied.

"Oh no...!" Huan Rugo blushed with embarrassment and turned her head away.

"What's wrong?" Lin Yin deliberately leaned closer and asked teasingly.

"You've seen everything, how am I supposed to face people now...?" Huan Rugo raised her eyes, took a deep breath, and said to Lin Yin.

"Oh! So that's what you're worried about...? What's the big deal?" Lin Yin leaned closer to Huan Rugo and replied.

"It's all that little water snake's fault...!" Huan Ruge complained angrily.

"Haha, you can't blame it, it's just an innocent little water snake. But speaking of which, you have a really nice figure." Lin Yin's lips curled up, revealing a wicked smile.

"How...how could you say that?" Huan Ruge's face turned as red as a ripe apple, and she wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

"Don't be shy, it's not a big deal. Besides, we've been through life and death together, what's a little thing like this?" Lin Yin comforted him with a smile.

"Hmph, it's all your fault! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been attacked by the water snake, and I wouldn't have..." Huan Rugo's voice trailed off, and she finally shut her mouth.

"Alright, alright, it's all my fault. So what do we do now? How about I take full responsibility?" Lin Yin suddenly leaned closer to Huan Rugo, a hint of mockery in his eyes.

"What...what do you want to do?" Huan Rugo took a step back nervously, looking at Lin Yin warily.

"Haha, just kidding. Since it's already happened, let's not dwell on it too much. Let's hurry on our way; maybe there are more interesting things waiting for us ahead." Lin Yin chuckled, patted Huan Rugo's shoulder, and then turned to continue on his way.

Huan Rugo sighed helplessly and could only follow Lin Yin's footsteps. Although she was still a little shy and embarrassed, she knew that the most important thing at the moment was to complete the mission and protect herself and her companions.
