Chapter 26

【Monster Hunting Team】 brothers and sisters, the monster hunting and leveling up are still ongoing, where are your recommendation votes? Let me see them, let's go, let's go, let's go!

...

Yue Xi patted her chest with some fear, the well-proportioned and elastic bunnies trembled slightly, shining with a luster: "That's true, Chang Chang, you are so smart."

"It's you who are too impulsive." Chang Chang exhaled a breath of fragrance helplessly: "Xi Xi, when will you change your rashness? I'm really worried!"

Yue Xi scratched her face, sticking out her tongue shyly: "What can I do, I'm a fire-type ability user!"

Fire, by nature, represents uncontrollable and violent attacks. Influenced by her ability, Yue Xi's personality has become very lively and energetic, often making Yue Chang worried.

"Ah! There's nothing I can do about it!" Yue Chang exhaled a breath of fragrance: "I'll talk to Big Brother later!"

"Talk about what?" Yue Xi asked, blinking her eyes.

"First, I'll probe a bit, see how things go!" Chang Chang stood up, her white and tender body, glowing with a luster, made the moonlight pale in comparison.

On the third floor of the villa, Liu Menglong bent over the bed, his elbows resting on his thighs, his fists supporting his chin, gazing at Liu Ying's photo with a somewhat hazy look.

"Mom, what should I do? Although they don't seem like bad people, they kill as if it's nothing. Is it really safe to keep such people around?"

"I'm not afraid, but I'm worried that Ruyue might get hurt. She's just an ordinary girl, weak and helpless. If they really harm Ruyue, I'm afraid I won't be able to protect her."

"Mom, I forgot to tell you, Ruyue is a lot like you, gentle and kind, smart and capable. I really like her... but don't be jealous, I just like her like a sister, like a family member. You are all my family."

"But Ruyue never tells me about her background. I think a girl like her must come from a prestigious family! Well-mannered and virtuous. If she stays with me, I will definitely help her find a good match, but it might not be easy. Ruyue is naturally mute, ordinary people might accept it, but excellent men might not."

"Me? I've already said, I treat her like a sister, like family. If she really can't get married, I'll take care of her for life."

"Mom, are you doing well there? Are you eating enough? Are you warm enough? Do you have enough money? If not, tell me, I'll burn a cart of Jade Emperor's money for you. Can't spend it? No problem, save it, and when I go there, we'll spend it together."

"Also, please say hello to Uncle Guan for me. He must be reunited with his family now, and he must be taking his family to you for a meal! Don't be stingy, at least let Uncle Guan have a meal. After reincarnation, he can continue to serve us, hehe, am I bad?"

Knock, knock, knock—

The knocking sound came, Liu Menglong stopped talking, frowned, and got up to open the door.

A pretty short haircut, medium height, a graceful figure, wearing a cool white and blue water droplet tank top and shorts, exuding a sweet and youthful aura, especially that soft and gentle demeanor, like a little lamb waiting to be pampered.

"Why aren't you sleeping yet?" Seeing it was Yue Chang, Liu Menglong's tone softened.

"Big Brother, can I talk to you?" Yue Chang's voice was still soft, her black gem-like eyes showing a hint of longing.

After a moment of silence, Liu Menglong turned around: "Come in!"

Yue Chang smiled: "Okay."

Closing the door, Yue Chang walked to the chair opposite Liu Menglong and sat down in a very ladylike manner, her thighs tightly together, her calves tilted to the left, very dignified.

Liu Menglong threw her an apple: "What do you want to talk about?"

"Thank you, Big Brother." Catching the apple, she held it with both hands on her thighs, looking at Liu Menglong's calm eyes, Yue Chang said softly: "Big Brother, why are you angry?"

Liu Menglong looked at her, saying lightly: "Am I angry?"

"Xi Xi doesn't even dare to joke around." Yue Chang's words seemed unrelated, but they were direct. If the lively and playful Xi Xi was affected and became gloomy, could Liu Menglong still say he wasn't angry?

After a moment of silence, Liu Menglong looked into Yue Chang's eyes and said softly: "Where have you been these past two days?"

Indeed.

Hearing this question, Yue Chang confirmed the guess she and Xi Xi had made. Her expression remained unchanged, but she tilted her head slightly, looking a bit 'confused': "We went to a nunnery to pray and burn incense, and even drew a fortune. Is that okay?"

Liu Menglong ignored Yue Chang's probing, shook his head lightly, and looked into her eyes: "Chang Chang, I really consider you a friend, even like a sister. The same goes for Xi Xi. Although we argue and bicker every day, I think that's what family and friends do. When you lost your wallets, I was a bit reluctant, but I still let you move in. As a friend, I think I've done everything I can. Do you deny that?"

A gentle look flashed in Yue Chang's eyes, and she shook her head lightly: "Big Brother, thank you."

"Do you still want to hide things from me?" Liu Menglong looked at Yue Chang, seeing her hesitant expression, and said softly: "Although you have killed people, I'm still hesitant about whether to continue sheltering you. But I still hope you can be more honest with me. If you have secrets, you don't have to tell me, but at least don't make me feel uneasy."

These words fermented in Yue Chang's heart, causing a great wave.

"Is Big Brother like us?"

Thinking of what Xi Xi had said before, looking at Liu Menglong's calm eyes, Yue Chang felt a surge of excitement and joy: Could Big Brother really be like us?

"Big Brother, how did you know?" The impulse in her heart did not break through her rationality. Before she figured out how Liu Menglong discovered the truth, she remained cautious.

Liu Menglong was silent for a moment, took a deep breath, and sighed lightly: "If I say I have a special ability that can see through anyone's good and evil, would you believe me?"

A wave of shock surged in Yue Chang's heart. So... so... Big Brother really...

"Really?"

"You can choose not to believe me." Liu Menglong said lightly: "Just consider it a lie."

"No, I believe Big Brother." Yue Chang's face showed a relieved smile, and she said softly: "Because Xi Xi and I killed people, Big Brother saw that we became evil, right?"

"Not that evil." Liu Menglong shook his head and explained: "From the sins you have committed, the people you killed, although not deeply sinful, were full of resentment. Killing such people doesn't add much to your sins. That's why I want to give you a chance."

"I see, I see!" Yue Chang's smile became even brighter.

"But..." Liu Menglong's expression gradually became serious: "After you and Xi Xi killed people, you acted as usual, which makes me very uneasy. This shows that you have become accustomed to killing, as if it's as normal as eating and drinking.

My biggest concern is whether you might harm me or Ruyue. Keeping you around is a gamble, a gamble that you are not insane killers."

Hearing these words, Yue Chang's smile gradually softened. She looked at Liu Menglong's handsome face and said softly: "If Big Brother says this, aren't you afraid I might kill to cover up?"

"That's why I said it's a gamble. Besides..." Liu Menglong suddenly produced a kitchen knife in his hand: "I'm not defenseless. It's not that easy to kill me."

Seeing the sudden appearance of the kitchen knife, Yue Chang's gem-like black eyes instantly widened, like a frightened little lamb.

Yue Chang's reaction actually made Liu Menglong feel relieved, and he smiled faintly. In the next moment, the kitchen knife disappeared, returning to his inventory.

With the disappearance of the kitchen knife, Yue Chang's eyes returned to their usual curve, but there was a hint of excitement in them: "Big Brother, are you an ability user?"

"You can say I am." Liu Menglong's current state should be considered full-body attribute enhancement, and his strength improvement is entirely based on leveling up by defeating monsters. But if you call it an ability, it's勉强说得过去.

"Great." Yue Chang jumped up excitedly.

Liu Menglong was taken aback. What's so great about it?

"Big Brother..." Yue Chang realized she had lost her composure, sat down again, and smiled softly: "Actually, I'm an ability user too!"
