Young man, please stay

Chapter 69: As close as mother and daughter (First update! Please order first!)

"Zhuo Beibei."

"what…"

After Zhuo Beibei took a bath, Qin Lang also took a bath with hot water.

Coupled with chatting, they unknowingly delayed most of the day. Zhuo Beibei, the young sect leader of Tianhe Sect, was already very sleepy when he was lying on the bed.

Originally harboring resentment towards a certain "Tianshan bitch", Zhuo Beibei fell into a sweet dream without realizing it. However, he was quarreled by Qin Lang again. Zhuo Beibei opened his eyes and suddenly became dissatisfied:
  "It's my mother-in-law's... If something happens, I won't tell you until I wake up..."

"no."

In fact, Qin Lang was also about to fall asleep. The reason why he woke up suddenly was because someone had his neck twisted like a koala, and he couldn't breathe at all.

"Unlucky boy... hurry up and get down!"

"..."

Zhuo Beibei reluctantly glanced at Qin Lang's slightly purple face, and then looked at his two little arms tightly wrapped around his neck, feeling a little embarrassed.

"The last time I slept with someone else... I was with Ling Yue a few years ago... I was the one who held her in my arms at that time, so I just..."

Qin Lang raised his eyebrows:
  "sleep?"

"!"

Zhuo Beibei's expression tightened, his face turned red, and he stretched his neck and corrected himself:

"It's... it's sleep! I'm bald..."

"North."

"What are you doing again..."

"Have you ever heard of the six-character mantra left by the ancient sages."

"what…"

"Duplicate words, disgusting."

"Qin Lang, you're so annoying! I'm even saying that I'm a bald talker...don't you believe me!"

"Believe."

Qin Lang nodded, he definitely didn't believe it.

Even through this small detail, a bold guess can be drawn:

"I said, after you were injured by my senior sister, it shouldn't be just your body that has become smaller, right?"

"What do you mean?"

"Just saying yes, does part of your mind... also change with the age of your body?"

"I want you to manage..."

……

Zhuo Beibei refused to answer this question.

However, based on her subconscious repetition of words just now, combined with the fact that she loves eating candied haws, Qin Lang can basically confirm that part of Zhuo Beibei's mind will indeed become smaller as his body shrinks.

Fortunately, Zhuo Beibei's current form is the smallest she can change. Otherwise, if her mind continues to shrink with age, sooner or later she may become a real brat.

This also shows from the side that Mu Xuanli, the mysterious woman who has raised him for twenty years on Tianshan Mountain, is indeed powerful and unpredictable.

At least Qin Lang has never heard of any martial arts in the world that can turn a woman from a young woman back to a lolita...

"Hey, hey, why did you fall asleep again? Get up!"

"don't want…"

While speaking, Zhuo Beibei closed his eyes again, and soon hung them around Qin Lang's neck.

"..."

Qin Lang was speechless, but when he thought of this guy's intermittent life, his heart softened.

Originally, he planned to drive Zhuo Beibei back to the place where he slept before, but then he thought about it, what good place could such a big little handyman usually sleep? It's nothing more than some cramped side rooms.

Of course, after just a few words of understanding, Qin Lang probably knew why Zhuo Beibei was working as a handyman here.

It's just because she doesn't want to expose her identity. Not to mention her reputation is too prominent. If her identity is exposed, it means that she has to start accepting normal interpersonal interactions. And this kind of so-called normal interpersonal communication is destined not to be considered truly "normal" for her life, which has been sleeping for several years at every turn, and can only add to her troubles.

Secondly, she is the head of a sect after all, and she will also miss her sect. Being in Ningxiang Pavilion at least feels like "going home", but this "home" is generally filled with women from brothels. Although as the war in the world subsided, more and more women began to show off their talents instead of selling their bodies. However, as one of the three majestic sect leaders, it was absolutely impossible for them to show off their skills, let alone just laugh.

In addition, she is now just a cute little girl in the eyes of others. Apart from doing odd jobs to meet the basic needs of food and accommodation, she has no better choice.

"so troublesome…"

In the end, Qin Lang sighed softly and temporarily allowed her to rest in his room for a while.

But he didn't want to be strangled in his dream, so he had to break the little girl's arm from his neck, and then he gently held her in his arms, hugging her dishonest little arms.

Zhuo Beibei grunted twice and did not struggle. Instead, he leaned into Qin Lang's arms, which made Qin Lang a little funny.

This little brat...

The mind is indeed affected by some appearance of age...

Oh, right. I forgot to ask her to put on her little skirt...

Forget it, so be it.

Qin Lang couldn't bear to wake her up again, not to mention that he was also very sleepy. In short, he should have a good sleep and wake up.

--------

After this sleep, time also changed from day to night.

When the lanterns come on, the Ningxiang Pavilion is used as a place to hook up. Naturally, the business is at its peak at night.

In the relatively quiet backyard, Qin Lang slowly opened his sleepy eyes. He had just enough energy to stop snoozing. After all, he still remembered that as a member of the Tianhe Sect, he still had business to do.

"Well...~"

"?"

By the way, I almost forgot that there was a little sect leader in my arms.

Qin Lang took a look at the quiet little girl. She looked particularly gentle and delicate at this time. Looking at the pink little face and the comfortable sleeping face, it was obvious that she was also full of sleep, so He called her up.

"It's getting dark, it's time to get up."

Get up after dark? There is no reason for this.

Zhuo Beibei grabbed Qin Lang's arm, turned over, and muttered drowsily:
  "I'm very tired...at dawn..."

"That's up to you, I'm up anyway."

Qin Lang threw the bag aside and put on his clothes. He looked up and saw that the little female cat was showing off the snacks on the table with a vengeance.

"Eat less. I won't want you when I grow into a ball."

"Meow?"

After hearing what Qin Lang's scumbag said, everyone was shocked and had no choice but to stop talking angrily.

Zhuo Beibei, without Qin Lang, was like a bird that had lost its nest. He couldn't sleep. He could only sit up and rub his eyes. After being dazed for a while, he ordered Qin Lang expressionlessly:
  "Boy, give me a cup of tea."

"I don't have enough time."

Qin Lang poured himself a glass, took a sip, and looked happily at Zhuo Beibei on the bed:

"How old are you? You don't have all your hair. Can you drink tea like an adult?"

"Why not!"

As expected of being raised by Mu Xuanli, he makes himself angry as soon as he wakes up!

Zhuo Beibei lowered his head, pinched the noisy white bun, and then argued with a slightly red face:
  "If you don't grow up, you're not an adult! Boy, are you looking down on me?"

and…

And even adults may not grow long...

At least when the lord of the sect had not grown smaller before, he did not grow long either.

As for Croft’s claims... hmph, they must be all nonsense!
  She is so fair and beautiful, but her husband should like her before it’s too late, so how can she be overcome...

……

After a lot of random thinking, Zhuo Beibei finally got up. Qin Lang gave her a small skirt and got ready to go out.

"Where are you going?"

"Look for your apprentice Nan Lingyue."

"What are you looking for her for?"

"Nonsense, you are staying at Ningxiang Pavilion. Don't you know that the business of Ningxiang Pavilion is deteriorating now?"

Qin Lang glanced at the sky outside:

"Ling Yue's accounting should have been completed. Now I just want to go and understand the situation with her, do some research, and then make plans..."

"..."

Seeing Qin Lang's serious look, Zhuo Beibei had nothing to say for a while.

Moreover, Zhuo Beibei was somewhat proud of the fact that the man raised by his mortal enemy was now helping his sect.

"Then I'll go get some work done."

"Well, by the way, regarding your identity, Ling Yue her..."

"It's okay."

Zhuo Beibei waved his little hand:
  "It was my intention for her to tour various places this time. In fact, I am also patrolling. I just arrived in Jingzhou Mansion not long ago, and now I am joining her... After all, we are master and apprentice, and our relationship is as close as mother and daughter. With her It doesn’t matter if we recognize each other.”

As close as mother and daughter...

Although there is nothing wrong with this, but... who is the mother and who is the daughter?

Looking at Zhuo Beibei's small body, Qin Lang couldn't laugh or cry. He shook his head and went out to find Nan Lingyue.
