Yesterday, because he had to take care of Lilith and Lianghua who were suffering from Heart Demon attacks, Lin Tianming stayed with them both the whole time.
Even though their Heart Demons temporarily subsided later on, seeing how weak they were after being tormented, Lin Tianming continued to let them curl up in his embrace.
Holding them like this, Lin Tianming somehow fell asleep without realizing it until the next morning.
Upon waking up and seeing Lianghua and Lilith sleeping so peacefully, Lin Tianming felt very happy.
Their relaxed expressions of comfort were what Lin Tianming most wanted to see, and to him, this was when they were at their most beautiful.
Because he needed to take care of Lianghua and Lilith, Lin Tianming managed to escape the clinginess of the little glue monster Ye Qingxue the night before.
However, Ye Qingxue also climbed into bed in the middle of the night and fell asleep with her head on his shoulder.
Sofia too, slept soundly with one head on each shoulder alongside Ye Qingxue.
Only because Lin Tianming now possessed a Divine Body could he bear the pressure, otherwise being sandwiched left and right between Lianghua, Lilith, Ye Qingxue, and Sofia would have surely numbed him completely.
Lin Tianming woke up and wanted to get out of bed for a walk and to meet the Dark Netherworld King to discuss an alliance.
But as soon as he moved, Ye Qingxue and the others began to talk in their sleep.
"No… don't go… Brother Tianming… belongs… to Qingxue… Qingxue is the Empress…"
"Ming Jun... don't... don't leave me, okay?"
"Tianming… When can we go on a date to Halloween Amusement Park in Heavenly City again? Or we could go back to... to Xiluo Domain Shenwu City… Then call teacher Fiona and Main, and have a family dinner all together…"
"Tianming… I'm feeling a bit homesick… When can you accompany me back to the Central Holy Domain Holy City?"
As they murmured, their hands mischievously clung to him like octopus tentacles, holding him tight.
Lin Tianming managed a wry smile.
How was he supposed to get out of bed like this?
Worried that moving around would wake them from their rare sound sleep, Lin Tianming, even though he was awake, had no choice but to sit obediently against the headboard.
After sitting with Ye Qingxue and the others for who knows how long, they finally woke up one by one naturally.
"I slept so well last night, Brother Tianming!"
"Me too, I really had a comfortable sleep last night. How about you, Ming Jun?"
"Thank you, Tianming, for taking care of me during my Heart Demon attack yesterday, and for holding me while I was weak!"
"Tianming, does it hurt when I use your shoulder as a pillow like this?"
Listening to the four of them waking up and speaking, Lin Tianming said with a smile, "It doesn't hurt; I'm a God now, how could my shoulders ache from something so trivial?"
"Really? But even a God needs to rest well… Tianming, how about I give your shoulders a rub to help you relax?"
Sofia's unexpected suggestion resonated with Ye Qingxue and the others.
Ye Qingxue took the lead and said, "That's not a bad idea. Brother Tianming took care of Lianghua and Lilith first, then let us lean on him to sleep. We should really reward Brother Tianming properly!"
"Then let's each take a shoulder, Qingxue, you take that side to help Tianming relax and I'll take this side!"
With an agreement in place, Sofia and Ye Qingxue, with clear division of labor, began to actively massage Lin Tianming's shoulders.
Although their massage techniques were novice, Lin Tianming still appreciated the intention behind their gentle touch.
Lilith and Lianghua actually wanted to continue indulging in Lin Tianming's embrace, to stay coiled up in his arms like little cats not wanting to think about anything else.
However, thinking of Lin Tianming's hard work taking care of them yesterday without any complaints, they also wanted to do something for Lin Tianming.
"Lilith, since Qingxue and Sofia are helping Brother Ming with a shoulder massage, what can we do to make Brother Ming happy?"
Lianghua brought up this tricky question, which left Lilith hesitating for a moment before she raised her little face to look at Lin Tianming.
"Tianming, how do you want us to help you relax?"
Lin Tianming leaned down, gently stroking the smooth cheeks of Lilith and Lianghua, and with a smile, indicated that he wanted nothing.
"We've all been in hardship together for so long. It's only right for me to take care of you when your Heart Demons act up. I shouldn't be asking for any reward. Just rest easy and recover!"
Despite Lin Tianming's words about not wanting a reward making Lilith and Lianghua feel warm inside, they still wanted to reward Lin Tianming.
After a short while, as if they had telepathy, the two girls exchanged glances, then both raised their heads and gently kissed Lin Tianming on the left and right cheeks.
It was just a simple peck which ended quickly, but Ye Qingxue, the little green-eyed monster, started stirring.
"No way! I also want to kiss Brother Tianming!"
Saying this, and without waiting for Lin Tianming to protest, she launched a surprise attack.
On the other side, Sofia also gathered her courage and took advantage of Lin Tianming's distraction by Ye Qingxue to make her own sudden move.
Once their surprise attacks were over, Lin Tianming said with some helplessness, "It's early in the morning... don't be so mushy..."
[No... I am the Empress! Yesterday I showed my magnanimity and occasionally let these little vixens have their way. Today I can't just settle for a simple kiss like them with Brother Tianming!]
[Since they gave pecks, then I, as the Empress, should be even more intimate with Brother Tianming!]
Just as Lin Tianming was about to open his mouth to stop Ye Qingxue from messing around, with his distracted response, he gave Ye Qingxue the opportunity to take the initiative.
After combating Lin Tianming's lips for a good ten minutes, Ye Qingxue finally let him go, feeling utterly content.
"Hehe... Brother Tianming, having something sweet in the early morning puts you in a good mood! Qingxue will continue giving you a shoulder rub!"
On the other side, Sofia also resumed her shoulder massage for Lin Tianming.
Lianghua and Sofia, who were lying in Lin Tianming's arms, took the initiative to stand up and move to Lin Tianming's legs to provide a leg massage.
Since it seemed he couldn't escape for the time being, Lin Tianming chose to close his eyes and fully enjoy it.
The only regret was that their hands were indeed inexperienced, thinking that just gentle kneading was enough to relax and massage.
After enduring their relaxation service, to avoid being pinned down in bed by the four of them again, Lin Tianming immediately said he had to make a trip to see the Dark Netherworld King.
"Qingxue, Sofia, Lianghua, Lilith, thank you for the massage. Let's leave it there for today! I need to discuss some serious matters with the Dark Netherworld King!"
Upon hearing that Lin Tianming had to meet with the Dark Netherworld King for serious matters, Ye Qingxue and the other three expressed their desire to accompany him.
"Brother Tianming, let's go together then! We were delayed by the Heart Demons yesterday, and it is indeed time to talk about official matters today!"
Seeing that all four of them wanted to meet the Dark Netherworld King, Lin Tianming naturally wouldn't say no.
Moreover, this was his first time here, and he wasn't familiar with the place. At the very least, he needed Lilith to take him to the Dark Netherworld King.
Thinking this, Lin Tianming said, "Alright, let's all go together. But we will have to trouble you to lead the way, Lilith, since we're not familiar with this place!"
Finally having the chance to do something for Lin Tianming, Lilith readily agreed.
"No problem, Tianming!"
