Chapter 73: Qin Liang’s Little Thoughts

The waves lapped rhythmically against the side of the boat. Tang Yunle slowly opened her eyes.

The salty sea breeze, wrapped in a damp air, rushed towards her. She instinctively raised her hand to block the dazzling starlight, but was shocked to find that she was in a different world.

An endless blue sea. Tang Yunle stood up from the deck of a large ship. Above her head, the Milky Way spanned the sky, and thousands of stars shone.

On the sea horizon in the distance, the waves were turbulent. Huge waves, dozens of meters high, crashed against the ship one after another, the splashes of water shattering into silver foil under the moonlight. Strangely, she didn’t feel the slightest bit of swaying.

“Phew~ I finally got in touch with you, sister!” a panting voice came from behind.

She turned around and saw a playful girl standing behind her, wearing a gorgeous pirate costume with golden patterns, a tricorn hat on her head, and a long sword at her waist. She had one hand on her hip and a smile on her face as she looked at her.

—Tang Yunke.

“Where is this?” Tang Yunle looked around.

“The dream space. Even in different worlds, dreams exist. And Yunke can use these same elements to contact you, sister.”

“Sister, you must not accept that world that pretends to be real, or you will never be able to come back! Stay strong. One day, Yunke will pull you back!”

Tang Yunke said quickly.

Tang Yunle’s brows furrowed slightly.

What does she mean, accept? What does she mean, pretend to be real? And what does she mean, pull back?

She opened her mouth, about to ask something.

Suddenly, a strange change occurred.

The sea level suddenly began to tremble, the waves surging, the dozens of meters high waves like a tsunami. A thick black pillar appeared at the junction of the northern sea and the sky, breaking out of the water.

A head like a camel’s, horns like a deer’s, eyes like copper bells.

Agile, powerful, and huge.

A dragon!

Not a Western dragon, but an Eastern dragon!

Not a benevolent dragon that brings rain and is revered by people, but one that causes floods and disasters, and is feared by people, just like in the story of “The Legend of Liu Yi,” where the red dragon named “Qiantang” flew three thousand li, killed six hundred thousand people, damaged eight hundred mu of crops, and devoured the evil dragon that was cruel to its wife!

Tang Yunle stood there in a daze, with too little information, completely at a loss.

“Damn it! That bad black dragon is here again!”

Tang Yunke straightened her crooked pirate hat and stomped her foot hard.

She turned around, grabbed Tang Yunle’s hands, and said with a solemn expression, “Anyway, sister, you must not accept that world.”

“As long as you don’t truly accept it, whether it’s one year, two years, ten years, or thirty years, Yunke will definitely pull you and brother-in-law back from that perverted world!”

After speaking, she gave her another strong push. Tang Yunle’s foot slipped, and she fell off the deck into the sea.

The salty seawater instantly rushed into her nasal cavity. Amidst the bone-chilling cold, there was also a hint of blissful numbness.

In the morning, Tang Yunle woke up from her bed. She stared blankly at the ceiling for a while before finally waking up from the chaos.

She propped herself up and looked around. The bedside was empty, and there was no sign of Qin Liang.

She put on her fluffy slippers and pushed open the bedroom door, just in time to see the girl on the balcony, basking in the sun and stretching her body.

Tang Yunke heard the movement, and her ponytail swayed with her turn. She waved with a smile, “Sis, you’re up.”

“Brother-in-law woke up half an hour before you. He gave Mingnuo a game console, and Mingnuo really likes it. He’s being dragged to play games now.”

“There’s your favorite pumpkin congee in the kitchen, and two large meat buns.”

Tang Yunle said “oh” and mechanically walked into the kitchen. The white steam from the steamer was wrapped in the sweet and sticky scent of pumpkin and the alluring aroma of meat.

Tang Yunle held a bowl and a meat bun and sat down at the dining table.

A mouthful of pumpkin congee, a mouthful of a large meat bun. She started to eat just like that.

At this time, Tang Yunke, who had finished her morning exercise, came over with her chin in her hands and looked at Tang Yunle, who was eating breakfast but was a little absent-minded, her eyes sparkling.

“Sister, do you and brother-in-law have any plans for today?”

“No.”

“Then let’s go shopping, okay? Let brother-in-law carry our things.”

“You want to spend my money again?!”

Tang Yunle was immediately stressed and almost jumped up from her chair!

Tang Yunke was stunned on the spot.

She tilted her head in confusion.

“What do you mean, spend your money, sister?”

“Do you have any money, sister?”

“Did brother-in-law get you a supplementary card?”

Only then did Tang Yunle come back to her senses. She waved her hand and casually made up an excuse, “I’m still half-asleep,” to end this muddle-headed matter.

She couldn’t help it. In her original world, she had given her dysfunctional family too much money, especially when she saw the same face as her little fairy sister in her original world.

As soon as money was mentioned, she would subconsciously become stressed.

“Having breakfast?”

A gentle male voice came from her side.

Tang Yunle put down her bun and turned to see a young man with ice-blue eyes walking out of Tang Mingnuo’s bedroom, still holding a bag of potato chips.

“Good morning, are you still eating?” Qin Liang greeted her politely.

“Good morning, Ah…” just as the word ‘Liang’ was about to come out, Tang Yunle suddenly thought of her family still being there and abruptly stopped, awkwardly changing her words.

“Master!”

The young man’s mouth stiffened slightly.

He walked to the dining table, and his long, slender fingers gently fell on Tang Yunle’s head and rubbed it. “Hmm… let’s go out and play for a while today.”

After speaking, he glanced at the well-behaved and cute Tang Yunke beside him. “We might not be back for lunch, and it’ll probably be very late in the evening, so you don’t have to wait for us.”

Tang Yunke nodded obediently. Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and she tugged on Qin Liang’s sleeve and shook it.

“Brother-in-law, can you take me with you? I want to go shopping too!”

“I’ll be very good. I won’t disturb you~ and I haven’t seen my sister for so long. I want to talk to her more.”

Just as Qin Liang was about to politely decline, Tang Yunle’s voice suddenly sounded in his ear:

“Take my sister with you, master.”

The air instantly froze. Qin Liang looked down at the two completely different pairs of beautiful eyes. One was full of anticipation and excitement, while the other was a little guilty and didn’t dare to meet his gaze.

His Adam’s apple bobbed. He wanted to say something, but in the end, it turned into a helpless nod.

“…Then let’s go together.”

If you were to ask, what is it like to go shopping with a pair of sister beauties?

Qin Liang had once thought about taking the “Kele” and “Baishi” sisters out for shopping and a meal. One would wear black stockings, the other white, so that he could feast his eyes, and preferably his hands as well.

But now… he was taking Tang Yunle, who was once a boy, and Tang Yunke, who was Tang Yunle’s younger sister in this world, two beautiful girls, one big and one small, out for shopping.

A sense of indescribable resistance and awkwardness filled Qin Liang’s heart.

Perhaps it was seeing his once iron-boned good brother teasing and playing with Tang Yunke like a girl; perhaps it was worrying that his good brother would be silently assimilated by this world and accept the identity of a female pet; or perhaps it was the fear that one day, he would be the only normal person left in this world.

He… somewhat didn’t want Tang Yunle to be too close to her family.
