It was a quiet night in the deep mountains.
It was also a cloudy day, so the night was pitch black.
Only the thatched cottage hidden on the mountaintop faintly flickered with a bit of light.
“Hiss～Hiss～”
This was a pool of water formed by the confluence of streams behind the cottage.
Under the night sky, apart from some chirping insects, there was only the sound of the stream and a figure that could be vaguely seen in the pool.
“Whew...”
Although it was a bit cold to come to the pool for a bath so late at night, and even more so in the month of March.
But for Luo Chen, being impervious to cold and heat was naturally something basic.
The only problem was that the surroundings were pitch black, which lowered the atmosphere a bit, and being alone made it a bit lonely.
However, with his great skill perfected, his strength had also increased a lot.
Although he didn't have "night vision" that was so exaggerated, the dark environment had no effect on him.
If it were his older sister, the night would still be as bright as day for her, and it wouldn't affect her at all.
After a day of training, Luo Chen was also a little tired.
However, soaking in the bath every night was one of his rare ways to relieve fatigue and pressure, even though it was a cold pool, he still went through it no matter what.
It's a pity that the expected welfare scene never happened.
Come to think of it, with his older sister's strength, how could there be any "door-opening kill" or some kind of welfare scene?
So what they say about Dong Yong, Li Xiaoyao, and Niulang's encounters is all fake!
Well, this was just his rambling thoughts while taking a bath to calm his mind.
If he really wanted to peek, his older sister probably wouldn't get angry or mind.
“Hiss～”
The mountain forest in the night was quiet and deep, with distant mountain shadows hazy.
Luo Chen didn't stay in the pool for long, and after feeling like it was enough, he slowly got up, picked up his washed clothes from beside the pool, and then used his magical power to dry them.
That's right, magical power is so convenient and versatile, whether it's used for cooking or washing clothes.
After he got back, he could just air them out a little, it was a time and energy saver.
“Click!”
Holding the freshly dried clothes, Luo Chen quickly returned to the simple thatched cottage, the only place with light in the night.
The thatched cottage was not too big or too small, besides the front hall, there was his older sister's boudoir, only from a year ago it had also become Luo Chen's room.
By the way, Lu Yinghua didn't live on the mountain, but he lived alone down the mountain during his training.
After all, this little Zhengtai was afraid of his master, almost to the point of fear, and he didn't want to see his older sister if he didn't have to.
Because every time he saw his older sister, it was like going through the Ghost Gate for him!
Open eyes～
In the simple room, Luo Hao, who was wearing cool and loose clothes, slowly opened her beautiful eyes when she saw Luo Chen return to the room.
In the dim candlelight, they were like two deep and beautiful gems.
It was just a plain stare, but it could make people feel immense pressure.
If someone were cowardly or weak, just with this look, they would definitely be afraid and timid.
However, after living together for a year, Luo Chen had gotten used to his older sister's presence, so after calling out “Sister”, he went about his own business of taking his clothes to hang, even though he could feel his older sister's gaze, always fixed on him.
“Sister?”
“Come here.”
“Is there something wrong?”
“……”
His older sister's unusual behavior made Luo Chen a bit concerned and puzzled.
So after she spoke, he didn't hesitate to come over and sit down in the resting place, and then admire the beautiful woman who was like a fairy descending from the heavens, so close at hand under the flickering candlelight.
Luo Hao didn't speak again, but raised her hand and patted him, Luo Chen naturally understood and was familiar with it, lying down —
Using his older sister's lap as a pillow!
Patting his head～Patting his head～
Neither of them spoke, one comfortably resting on the absolute domain, while the other silently used her hand to comb his hair.
Just like a year ago, when Luo Chen had just crossed over, the scene of the two of them in the meteorite crater.
Or maybe even closer?
After all, Luo Chen didn't feel any restraint or awkwardness about it, he just raised his hand and wrapped it around the "pillow", and Luo Hao just let him do as he pleased, she just looked at him calmly.
“Are you leaving?”
“Huh? Hmm.”
“Do you have to?”
“Hmm, I have to go!”
“……Then go.”
“Sister, aren't you going to ask me what I'm going to do?”
“No need, just remember to come back soon.”
“Okay.”
Luo Chen wasn't surprised at all that his older sister had guessed his thoughts.
After all, for his older sister, abilities like "mind-reading" were not something she didn't have, she just didn't use it on him.
It was more like his abnormal behavior today, his older sister probably noticed it long ago.
Plus, he didn't hide his asking Lu Yinghua to help investigate a certain guy from his older sister, but he didn't know how much she knew about this world?
And his identity as a time traveler, his older sister knew from the very beginning, and she didn't feel surprised at all.
Because she herself had the ability to "travel between different worlds"!
“It's late, let's rest.”
“Hmm, Sister…”
“What?”
“This, that, Sister, can I sleep with you tonight?”
“……Okay.”
Luo Chen had already started to give up when he saw his older sister's silence.
But when he heard her answer, his eyes lit up, and then he couldn't wait to hold her and lay down.
And Luo Hao didn't mind, but after a rustling sound, she put some clothes beside the pillow, then turned around, her jade arm also wrapped around him…
