"Don't tell me about this kind of stuff; I don't know anything," Li Changzhou took back his white card, afraid that his sister would blackmail him with it, forcing him to wet his pants right then and there. From that point on, the siblings would be equal and reconciled.

Li Qianxia and Yang Qinglan exchanged looks. Li Qianxia snickered while Yang Qinglan gave Li Changzhou a bemused glance.

"Take some Jade Pills and Blood Pearls with you to the Cangqiong World; it's bad form to take things without giving something in return," Yang Qinglan did not pick up on the topic of Turquoise Pool, and only mentioned the Cangqiong World.

As for Yafeiluna, what she had received was far more than what she had given, so no matter how they asked for her help, they would not be indebted to her.

"Mm~!" Li Qianxia nodded obediently.

After two seconds of silence, she began to speak again, shyly, awkwardly, and with apprehension, "I'm so scared of ghosts... Will it affect me later on?"

"No one can handle every situation," Li Changzhou comforted her, "That's why there are three of us, plus Yafeiluna and the others. Ghosts—or rather, all the things you're afraid of—from now on, just leave them to me."

"I'm afraid of suffering," Li Qianxia immediately said.

She changed the subject, and Li Changzhou could bring up old matters too: "Did you wash your butt when you changed your pants?"

Without a word, Li Qianxia caught Li Changzhou and started to beat him up. At that moment, Li Changzhou's "Ability" had not yet recovered, so he was no match for her and temporarily at a disadvantage.

After their childish play, Li Qianxia's mood improved significantly.

The three of them sat down on the ground, under a blue sky with dappled sunlight flickering through the leaves, the grass fresh and green, and the fragrance of flowers perfuming the air.

"Brother can handle my hardships, but will my fear of ghosts affect my cultivation?" Qianxia sat with her knees bent, and casually tossed a blade of grass onto her brother's face.

"Who knows," Li Changzhou lay on the grass, blowing away the wild grass on his face with a puff.

"Without desire, the heart is undisturbed," Yang Qinglan sat cross-legged, with Ruyi resting on her knees, "It's impossible for humans to have no desires. Having desires means having weaknesses, like when you want to play games while doing homework. You can't overcome that desire, but you can lock away your phone."

"Should I stay away from ghosts in the future?" Li Qianxia asked.

"No, that's not right," she frowned, "That would still mean I'm afraid of ghosts. I should find a way to not be afraid of them."

"What kind of way?" Yang Qinglan felt there was no way since... hmm-hmm.

"It's my brother! As long as my brother is by my side, I'm not afraid of anything! Right, brother, let's keep to the usual plan tonight—get cleaned up and wait for me in bed," she said.

Yang Qinglan: "?"

Li Changzhou reported Li Qianxia's history of being afraid of ghosts to Miss Yang, as well as that usual rule—sharing a bed.

"It's super terrifying," Li Qianxia emphasized, "when you're sleeping alone and someone is standing outside the window staring at you, or when you hear footsteps coming closer and closer."

She shuddered, chilled by her own words.

"Yang Lan is here; you can sleep with her," Li Changzhou suggested.

"...No, I can't," Li Qianxia struggled, "I only trust you, brother. I would suspect anyone else might also be a ghost."

"Your brother wouldn't turn into a ghost?" Yang Qinglan asked.

"Even if he turned into a ghost, I wouldn't be scared!"

Li Qianxia looked at Yang Qinglan. Realizing something, she moved forward and wrapped her arms around Yang Lan's arm, "Let's all sleep together tonight? That way I definitely won't be scared of ghosts, and you'll feel more at ease too, Lan."

"Feel at ease about what? I'm not afraid of ghosts."

"Ah, I mean me. If you don't agree, then I'll just sleep with my brother," Qianxia said.

"..."

Li Qianxia thought Yang Qinglan was so cute, hugging her even tighter and pleading, "Let's sleep together, please Lan? I really can't sleep alone."

Yang Qinglan pondered for a brief moment, then sighed.

Li Qianxia cheered, hugging her, and Li Changzhou also silently cheered with a fist pump deep down.

If they now slept together as three, perhaps in some time, when Li Qianxia forgot this "ghost story", Yang Qinglan might get used to sleeping with him as well. With her guards down, the time would come...

A blade of grass hit his face.

"You're drooling," Qianxia sneered disdainfully.

Li Changzhou wiped the corner of his mouth, "I smelled braised pork."

"Ghost's braised pork; there's no braised pork here," Li Qianxia rolled her eyes at him, then turned to Yang Qinglan and said, "Lan, you're making a killing."

She always got cocky when she had an advantage.

"Making what?" Yang Qinglan looked puzzled.

"Xia Yu wishes she had the chance to sleep with us siblings. You, on the other hand..."

"...Qianxia, I only consider you a friend. I only want to sleep with your brother, and I'll only allow your brother to sleep with me," Yang Qinglan stated.

Li Changzhou sprang up excitedly, only to be pushed back down by Yang Qinglan's 'Attract and Repel.'

"Hahaha!" Qianxia laughed, "Lan, you're too cute! How come you turned so red... hey, don't block, move your hand, let me see!"

Li Changzhou, pinned to the ground and too weak to resist, had regretted not taking a photo of Li Qianxia before, so this time he immediately took out his phone and snapped a picture of the two.

The result...

In the photo, Li Qianxia looked as if she was about to forcefully kiss Yang Qinglan, and her left knee was even kneeling between Yang Lan's legs.

If it had been Turquoise Pool and Yang Qinglan play fighting like this, Li Changzhou would have saved the photo, encrypted it; but with his sister... he deleted the photo.

By the afternoon, when the outside world was shaken by the sudden disappearance of Kale Square, Li Changzhou, whose "Ability" had recovered, directly teleported to the Moon.

The third 'Physical Enhancement', after acquiring the Divine Body, meant he could now survive in space, absorbing various energies as vital Qi.

Having briefly surveyed the Moon, he found no base and felt somewhat satisfied.

Even if Earth's major powers came to the Moon, the numbers couldn't be huge. By the time of large-scale colonization, he supposed he would be able to juggle the Moon in his palm like a marble... provided he remained alive until then.

So far, aside from some initial dangers at the beginning of the game, Changzhou had had smooth sailing. But with the past Lord of Radiance and now the current Sovereign of Wind and Light, plus future 'winners' who valued the game, the pressure in his heart was actually quite immense.
