Chapter 494 - 23: Meeting Someone
Early the next morning.
Chen Lusi was woken up by the sound of talking.
Golden sunlight streamed in through the slightly open curtains.
Lin Ying knelt behind her sister, gently helping her tie her hair.
"I’m joking! Sis! I’m joking, no pigtails, no pigtails, it’s too embarrassing."
"Didn’t you like them? Didn’t you want to give Chen Lusi a look?"
"But when we go out, it’s not just Chen Lusi who will see, no way!"
"Don’t you have lots of tricks up your sleeve?"
"Sis, you can’t hold onto old grudges..."
"..."
Chen Lusi struggled to sit up.
That’s when she realized the two were kneeling on the bed, facing her, their gaze focused on her.
"Alright, go wash up first."
Seeing Chen Lusi awake, Lin Ying stopped teasing her sister, tied a neat ponytail for her, and then patted her round, slender legs.
Lin Wan acknowledged with a sound, got off the bed, slipped into slippers, and jogged to wash up.
Lin Ying also got down from the bed, looked at the sleepy-eyed Chen Lusi, and as she tied her hair, gently asked, "Didn’t sleep well?"
"..."
Chen Lusi got up from the bed, rubbed her seemingly messy hair, and nodded.
"Why?"
Lin Ying finished tying her own hair, then took a step forward, tiptoed her white, exquisite feet, and pressed down on Chen Lusi’s messy hair, playing dumb: "Were you overthinking?"
"..."
Chen Lusi sighed: "Yeah."
Lin Ying paused, then continued playing dumb: "What were you thinking about?"
Looking at Lin Ying tiptoeing, her graceful curves fully exposed, like a ripe peach enticing a bite, Chen Lusi calmly said: "Some idiot."
"Biting you." Lin Ying rolled her eyes at him, then kept her toes pressing down on his hair.
Chen Lusi stood still, looking at Lin Ying on her tiptoes, without continuing the previous topic, suddenly said: "Later, I’ll feed you a spirit ball, this should disrupt the church system’s technique..."
"Don’t want it."
Lin Ying shook her head, causing her hair by her ears to sway gently: "The spirit devouring ball makes me nauseous."
Chen Lusi wanted to say more.
"It’s not that I’m confident in myself, actually, I’ve always wanted to tell you."
But Lin Ying was a step ahead, softly said: "Actually, the spirit ball has limited effects on me, just like Xia Yue and the others won’t let you feed them spirit balls... My Authority Ability, doesn’t rely much on spirit, rather it relies more on you."
"Me?"
Chen Lusi was slightly stunned.
Lin Ying nodded slowly: "Yes, as long as you’re alive, my Authority Ability will grow stronger."
"Why?" Chen Lusi was curious.
Thinking about it.
He really didn’t quite understand Lin Ying’s Authority Ability.
Most importantly, he knew what Lin Ying’s Authority Ability was capable of, but not much more information.
"Because I’m your believer."
Lin Ying smiled sweetly: "Isn’t that how it is for believers? As long as there’s faith... the soul is no longer empty."
"... You’re just avoiding feeling nauseous, aren’t you?"
Chen Lusi was silent for a moment, then somewhat helplessly took her wrist, and started to gather a spirit ball.
A minute later.
Lin Ying turned slightly, raised her little fist, gently tapped his shoulder, then held his hand, calming the raging spirit within.
Chen Lusi looked at her beautiful profile: "Lin Wan’s decision is made?"
"Mm."
Lin Ying paused for a moment, then nodded: "It’s decided."
Chen Lusi began to ponder.
Seems like he needs to go back home... Not sure if there’s anything left to do here.
But whether or not there is, he has to go back.
After all, he’s not part of the Celestial Strategy, at most he’s just a hired hand, so no major matters should need his involvement.
"..."
Lin Ying let the spirit inside her completely calm, looked at the pondering Chen Lusi, gently biting her shiny, alluring red lips.
Although she had seen this many times.
But he seemed unchanged from childhood to now.
"..."
Chen Lusi had just made up his mind, snapped back to reality, and noticed Lin Ying’s gaze, somewhat puzzled.
Lin Ying slightly raised her white chin, her smooth hair slipping down her delicate, pale profile, her breathtakingly beautiful face showing a trace of annoyance, suddenly whispered: "Just now, for the first time, I regretted having a sister."
"Ah?" Chen Lusi didn’t quite hear.
Lin Ying didn’t answer him, instead, she continued in a very small voice, muttering to herself: "You were originally mine alone."
Chen Lusi: "..."
This time he heard her.
In the end.
No matter how calm it seemed at the time.
It didn’t mean Lin Ying didn’t mind at all, she still minded a little.
Chen Lusi was silent for a while, reached out to tuck Lin Ying’s hair behind her ear, then cupped her soft face, making her look at him, wanting to say something.
Lin Ying let Chen Lusi hold her face, rested her hands on his wrists, and before he could speak, suddenly said: "Say you like me."
"I like you."
"Hmm, then I forgive you..."
...
After the three finished washing up, they once again arrived at the Celestial Strategy Mansion Headquarters.
After Chen Lusi watched the backs of the two sisters walking away, he rubbed his face vigorously, composed himself, and then headed to the top floor.
Even though the office on the top floor was closer to the roof... it was as if struck by lightning yesterday.
But after all, it’s the Celestial Strategy Mansion Headquarters, not an ordinary building, it might still be usable.
It’s just that all the electronics need to be replaced...
And there were speculations among the members about why the Celestial Strategy Mansion Headquarters was struck by lightning yesterday.
When Chen Lusi reached the top floor.
Ji Xin was flipping through something at lightning speed.
