Ling Cage: Twelve Talismans? I have everything I need.

Chapter 203 is also a daily routine.

Chapter 203 is also a daily routine.
Little Yuekui rushed over, hugged Yang Chen's waist, and looked up at him with her little face.

"Yang Chen! You guys were gone for a long time this time!"

She released Yang Chen, then turned to Bai Yuekui and sweetly called out, "Sister!"

Finally, her gaze fell on the somewhat awkward young man, Yue Kui, who was standing to the side.

Without hesitation, she called out in the same way, "Sister!"

Young Yue Kui was taken aback by her calling him "sister" and asked in surprise, "You...aren't you surprised to see me?"

After all, this was her first time coming to this peaceful world and seeing her younger self.

Little Moon Queen blinked her big eyes and explained, "ASH already told me that!"

"They said there will be older sisters and brothers from another world coming over. When Yang Chen comes back, he will tell me about you. Mom and Dad know about it too."

Seeing her matter-of-fact demeanor, the young Yue Kui felt much less of a sense of unfamiliarity.

She gave a soft "oh" and reached out to ruffle Xiao Yuekui's hair; it felt soft to the touch.

"Haha! Little Yue Kui! Let your big brother give you a hug!"

Just then, the young man Yue Tian rushed over in one stride, his face beaming with a bright smile that was almost like that of a "pervert." Without saying a word, he bent down, scooped up Xiao Yue Kui with both arms, and easily picked him up, even excitedly spinning him around twice.

"Wow!" Little Yue Kui was startled by his sudden action and wrapped her little arms around the neck of the young man Yue Tian.

Young Yue Tian was beaming with pride, rubbing his cheek against Xiao Yue Kui's soft face, his heart overflowing with joy.

I really cherished this Yue Kui from when it was little.

At this moment, Bai Yuetian, who was standing next to him, also rubbed his hands together and came over with a smile on his face.

"Alright, alright, isn't it my turn to hug you now? Let me have a hug too."

As he spoke, he reached out his hand, but unexpectedly, Xiao Yuekui immediately turned her head and hugged the young man Yuetian's neck tightly, pouting her little mouth.

"No, brother, you've been corrupted. You'll see all sorts of weird things."

Bai Yuetian's outstretched hand froze in mid-air, and the smile on his face instantly vanished.

Xiao Yuekui's words puzzled the young man, Yue Tian: "What are you looking at? Why does Xiao Yuekui look down on you so much?"

Bai Yuetian shook his head and said nothing more.

His image has collapsed and is beyond repair. Is there no one in this world who can understand me?

How about finding a like-minded person to share the same ideals?

Seeing his appearance, the young man Yue Tian did not press him for details and continued talking to Xiao Yue Kui.

Just then, the living room door was pushed open again.

Theresa stood at the door, her gentle gaze sweeping over the lively crowd in the courtyard, finally settling on the young Yue Kui and the young Yue Tian.

"Don't stand in the yard, come inside."

When the young Yue Tian saw Tereza, he quickly and gently placed the little Yue Kui in his arms back on the ground.

Xiao Yuekui also let go of his neck, skipped and hopped to Yang Chen's side, took his hand and started chattering away.

Seeing this, Bai Yuekui gently patted the back of the young man Yuekui beside him, his voice gentle.

"Go on, your mother is calling you."

Young Yue Kui and young Yue Tian exchanged a glance.

The two of them straightened their clothes at the same time before taking a step towards Theresa, who was standing at the door.

Theresa watched them approach with a smile throughout.

"Looks like I've gained another pair of children?"

As the young Yue Kui gazed into Theresa's gentle eyes, his lips moved slightly, and he hesitated before letting out a soft call.

"mom"

Theresa reached out and put her arm around the young Yue Kui's shoulder, gently pulling her into her embrace: "Good child, you should have come sooner. Leave the matters of that world to Yang Chen and the others."

She released the young Yue Kui, then looked at the young Yue Tian, her loving gaze lingering on his face for a moment before turning to Bai Yue Kui in the courtyard.

"Yue Kui, why don't you come in first?"

Bai Yuekui stood beside Yang Chen and Xiao Yuekui, gently shaking her head: "You two talk first. Let's go for a walk outside."

Xiao Yuekui immediately chimed in, "Yes, yes, I want to take Yang Chen to see the newly opened sunflowers!"

Theresa nodded knowingly, watching Bai Yuekui and Yang Chen lead little Yuekui into the garden, before turning to young Yuekui and young Yuetian and speaking softly.

"Let's go inside. Jingyu is in his study; he'll be very happy to see you."

Young Yue Kui followed Theresa into the living room, his gaze involuntarily falling on Bai Jingyu, who was coming out of the study.

Looking at her father's familiar yet slightly younger face, her eyes welled up with tears.

His gaze shifted between his parents before finally settling on Tereza's face.

She suddenly stepped forward and hugged Theresa tightly, her voice choked with emotion.

"It's so good to see you and Dad again."

Theresa gently patted her back: "From now on, just treat this place as your home. After all, you're my daughter too."

As she spoke, Theresa looked at the young man Yue Tian standing to the side, her eyes filled with the same loving gaze.

"You are my son too."

Bai Jingyu stood at the door of the study, looking at his children who came from another world.

Although I have gained another pair of children, I am quite happy.

But how did my counterpart in that world end up being killed by Gray?

Theresa also died young.

Isn't there a world where the mana ecosystem doesn't exist? A world where families can live together in peace.

Bai Jingyu looked at the young man Yue Kui and said with a complicated expression:
"I'm sorry, Yue Kui, my past self was different from you."

Before he could finish speaking, the young Yue Kui stepped forward and gently embraced him.

"No need to apologize." She buried her face in Bai Jingyu's shoulder, her voice muffled. "It wasn't your fault, it's all my fault for being too willful."

Bai Jingyu was slightly taken aback, then raised his hand to hug his daughter back.

in the garden.

Xiao Yuekui enthusiastically pulled Yang Chen and Bai Yuekui to look at the small patch of sunflowers she had carefully tended.

"Yang Chen, look! This one is the biggest! I watered it properly every day!" Xiao Yuekui pointed to an exceptionally plump sunflower, her little face full of pride.

"Yes, very beautiful, really amazing." Yang Chen smiled and ruffled her hair, praising her sincerely.

Bai Yuekui and Bai Yuetian quietly followed beside the two. The group strolled around for a while, listening to little Yuekui chattering about the interesting things that happened at school and at home.

Judging from the fact that the emotionally charged moment of that reunion across worlds in the living room had passed, Bai Yuekui said softly, "That's enough, let's go back."

Yang Chen nodded and took Xiao Yuekui's hand: "Let's go."

Xiao Yuekui obediently replied "okay," and led Yang Chen with one hand and Bai Yuekui with the other, walking towards the villa together.

Push open the living room door.

Theresa and Bai Jingyu sat on the sofa, with gentle smiles on their faces.

Young Yue Tian and Yue Kui seemed a little awkward, but the excitement in their eyes was undeniable.

Bai Yuekui's gaze lingered on the young Yuekui for a moment before he walked straight to the tea table.

She took out her tea set and brewed herself a cup of tea, the steam carrying the aroma of the tea rising gently.

Then, she took out coffee beans and a pour-over kettle from the cabinet and quietly ground and brewed them.

Soon, a cup of fragrant coffee was placed on the coffee table in front of the young Yue Kui.

"Drink."

Young Yue Kui snapped out of his daze, looked at the cup of coffee with some surprise, and then looked up at his silver-haired self.

She does... prefer the energizing effect of caffeine and doesn't appreciate tea.

"Thank you," she said softly, picking up her coffee cup.

Just then, a noise came from the entrance hall, and Xiaoyuetian, carrying her schoolbag, returned.

He habitually looked up and greeted, "Mom, Dad, Xiao Kui, I'm back..."

He stopped mid-sentence.

He scanned the living room, first landing on the familiar Bai Yuekui, then suddenly fixing his gaze on the black-haired "sister" who looked exactly like his older sister and was sitting by the window.

Then he looked at the two white moons.

Xiaoyuetian's lips twitched visibly, her disdain barely concealed.

"Tsk... Now there are two perverts in the house."

His voice wasn't loud, but both Baiyuetian heard it clearly.

Young Moon Sky: "???"

Upon hearing this, the young Yue Kui blinked in confusion.

But upon hearing this, Bai Yuetian immediately "blew up," rushed forward, stretched out his arm and wrapped it around Xiao Yuetian's neck, while his other hand's knuckles pressed against Xiao Yuetian's temple without any politeness, drilling hard.

"Ouch! It hurts, it hurts..." Xiaoyuetian immediately cried out, grimacing.

"You brat!" Bai Yuetian said through gritted teeth as he exerted force.

"You can't even let this little thing go? You keep nagging about it! I think you're asking for a beating! Come on, let's go outside and spar one-on-one!"

As he spoke, he half-dragged, half-pulled the howling Xiaoyuetian toward the door.

"Who's afraid of who! Let's train!" Xiaoyuetian said defiantly, but her body betrayed her.

Young Yue Tian was stunned for a moment when he saw this scene. Then, a smile of eagerness appeared on his face, and he followed after them, rubbing his hands together.

"Hey! Big brother, wait for me! How could I miss out on this great opportunity to educate my younger brother? Let's go two against one and let him truly understand what it means to be an elder brother like a father!"

"Hey! Have you no shame! Two against one!" Xiaoyuetian's protest came from the doorway, but as the door closed, the sound gradually faded away.

The living room became much quieter immediately.

after dinner.

Theresa was clearing the table, while Xiaoyue Kui helped hand over the bowls and plates. Xiaoyue Tian rubbed his arm, which had just been "disciplined" but didn't actually hurt much, and muttered to himself.

Bai Yuekui put down his teacup and gave Yang Chen a look. Yang Chen understood and stood up, saying to everyone, "It's getting late. Yuekui and I will go back to the apartment first."

Young Yue Kui and young Yue Tian looked somewhat bewildered upon hearing this.

They had just arrived at this completely unfamiliar "home," and although they felt warmth, they were still somewhat at a loss as to where to go next.

Bai Jingyu keenly sensed their emotions: "You two can stay here. Your rooms have been prepared for you for a while." He pointed upstairs, "Right next to Yue Kui and Xiao Tian's rooms, those will be your rooms too."

Theresa smiled and agreed, "Yes, this is your home."

With a firm resolve, the young woman nodded gently, "Thank you... Dad, Mom."

Just then, Bai Yuetian approached the young man Yuetian, nudged him with his elbow, and whispered, "Hey, don't just stand there like an idiot. What are you doing here? Come on, let's go to my place, I'll show you something good."

Young Yue Tian's curiosity was piqued by his expression, and he asked in confusion, "Good stuff? What good stuff?"

Bai Yuetian chuckled and winked, "Come with me and you'll see!"

Without waiting for the young man Yue Tian's consent, she put her arm around his shoulder and led him outside.

Young Yue Tian was skeptical, but his interest was piqued, and he followed along while asking, "What's all this mystery...?"

Watching the two "White Moonlights" leave arm in arm, Little Moonlight curled her lip in disapproval.

Bai Yuekui merely glanced indifferently at the direction where the two Bai Yuetians had disappeared before turning to Bai Jingyu and Teresa and saying, "Dad, Mom, we'll be going now."

"Okay, be careful on the road," Theresa gently reminded him.

The young Yue Kui looked at Bai Yue Kui and hesitated, wanting to say something.

Seeing this, Bai Yuekui said, "Just stay here comfortably. If you get bored tomorrow, you can come find me."

"I know, sister."

Bai Yuekui nodded and left the villa with Yang Chen. The city of Jiuchuan was brightly lit at night, a stark contrast to the parallel world that had just experienced a disaster.

Yang Chen did not use any talismans; he simply strolled side by side with Bai Yuekui along the quiet street, enjoying the tranquility.

"I haven't had a proper rest for a single day in the past few months." Yang Chen stretched his arms, feeling the gentle breeze of the peaceful night.

Bai Yuekui nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over the bright shop windows along the street.

She tugged at Yang Chen: "Come on, come with me inside for a look around."

Yang Chen raised an eyebrow in surprise. It was rare for Bai Yuekui to suggest going shopping.

He naturally wouldn't refuse and readily followed her into the store.

The store is filled with a wide variety of goods.

Bai Yuekui's gaze swept over the exquisite decorations and gorgeous clothes, finally settling on a corner displaying tea sets and unique aromatherapy products.

She walked over, her fingertips brushing against a set of simple white porcelain teaware, and then picked up a small box of aromatherapy and smelled it carefully.

Yang Chen watched as Bai Yuekui picked up the tea set and aromatherapy diffuser, thinking that the shopping trip was over, but then he saw her turn and walk towards the men's clothing section.

"Wait, Yue Kui, this is..." Before Yang Chen could finish speaking, Bai Yue Kui had already taken down several simple yet high-quality men's clothes from the shelf and turned around to show them off in front of him.

"Try it."

Yang Chen wanted to refuse: "Isn't it necessary? I have clothes to wear, I'm not particular about these things..."

He was used to clothes that allowed him to move around easily and was always casual about his appearance.

Bai Yuekui raised her eyes, looking at him quietly. She didn't put down the clothes she was holding, stubbornly keeping them raised in front of him.

Yang Chen stared at her for a moment, but ultimately gave in.

"Okay, whatever you say." He took the clothes and obediently walked towards the fitting room.

When Yang Chen came out after changing his clothes, even the shop assistants couldn't help but take a second look.

The well-tailored clothes perfectly accentuated his tall and straight figure, adding a touch of composure compared to his usual casual attire.

Bai Yuekui looked him up and down, then nodded slightly, clearly quite satisfied.

"That's all," she said directly to the shop assistant, deciding on all the styles without even asking Yang Chen's opinion.

Carrying newly purchased tea sets, aromatherapy products, and several bags of men's clothing, I walked out of the store, the cool night breeze brushing against my face.

Yang Chen looked at Bai Yuekui, who remained calm beside him, and then looked down at the clothes in his hand.

"Why did you suddenly decide to buy me clothes?"

Bai Yuekui said calmly, "We can't always be so casual."

The tone also carried a sense of "finally tidying up one's own things in a presentable way".

Of course, a big reason is that I doubted her judgment when I was younger.

The two continued walking, and as they turned a street corner, they unexpectedly saw a familiar figure.

Chief Gray was with several UN peacekeeping officers, seemingly on patrol.

Yang Chen took the initiative to step forward and greet him: "Director Gray, are you still working so late?"

Although Gray from the other two worlds is gone, and in one of them he dealt with himself, Gray from this world is different; nothing happened to him.

Gray turned around at the sound and saw Yang Chen and Bai Yuekui. His serious expression softened, and he nodded, saying, "It's you two."

He sighed: "Although the 'Mingli Science Association' was wiped out last time, there are always people who want to take the opportunity to spread panic and create chaos, so we can't let our guard down."

"Thank you for your hard work and for taking such good care of me." Yang Chen nodded understandingly.

Maintaining order in such a large city is no easy task.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Yang Chen and Bai Yuekui said goodbye to Gray and continued walking towards the apartment.

They returned to their apartment building.

However, just as they reached their own door and were about to open it, a faint arguing sound came from Bai Yuetian's apartment across the hall.

Even though the apartment had excellent soundproofing, some of the sound still managed to penetrate.

First, the young man Yue Tian raised his voice: "You...you actually watch this kind of stuff?! How could you be so depraved! No wonder you called us perverts the moment we walked in when we were kids, it turns out you ruined your reputation!"

Bai Yuetian retorted defiantly, his voice equally loud: "Pah! What does this have to do with that brat calling me a pervert? No, how have I become depraved? Isn't it normal to appreciate human body art and watch an art film? It's about cultivating one's character!"

"Cultivate your character?" Young Yue Tian's voice was full of disdain. "I am a rising star of the Joint Police Bureau, an upright and ambitious young talent with a lot of female admirers. How could I watch this kind of stuff? If you don't fall into depravity, who will!"

"Hey, what are you saying!" Bai Yuetian seemed to laugh in exasperation.

"Don't talk like that, kid! You're just lucky to be in this situation! I've been a football player for decades! Meanwhile, Gray on my side is using my body for all sorts of things. Who can I complain to?"

The argument seemed to pause for a moment, then Bai Yuetian's voice rang out again.

"Oh, by the way, speaking of which, I also have a grandson who's been taken in by my father. Would you like to go see him?"

"."

Yang Chen and Bai Yuekui, who were outside the door, exchanged a glance.

The two shook their heads and opened their own front door.

The morning sunlight streamed into the bedroom through the gaps in the curtains.

Yang Chen slowly opened his eyes, his mind clear.

Although the power of the dog charm can keep the body in peak condition, one will not feel tired even if one does not sleep for months.

But it must be admitted that the feeling of completely relaxing and getting a good night's sleep in a soft bed is a comfort that no amount of force can replace.

He turned his head slightly and looked at Bai Yuekui beside him.

She lay on her side, her short, silvery-white hair scattered messily on the pillow, the straps of her silk nightgown slipping down to her arm, revealing a large expanse of her fair and delicate skin.

Below her delicate collarbone, the graceful curves rose and fell gently with her breath, gleaming with a jade-like luster in the morning light.

Yang Chen's gaze lingered there for a moment, then he gently reached out and covered it with his hand, his movements tender, as if afraid of disturbing her sleep.

Seemingly sensing the subtle touch, Bai Yuekui's thick, long eyelashes trembled, and she slowly opened her eyes.

Eyes facing each other.

Bai Yuekui could easily read the meaning in Yang Chen's eyes. She had just opened her mouth when she said, "It wasn't last night."

All the words that followed were cut off.

As Bai Yuekui closed his eyes in response, he sighed inwardly—it seems he won't be getting up early today.

The morning light was just right, and it was still early.

Young Yue Kui woke up very early.

Meanwhile, the Bai family...

Even though he knew this was "home," the young Yue Kui still opened his eyes at the crack of dawn.

She lay on the soft, comfortable bed, staring at the ceiling, and for a moment she felt a little dazed.

She got up to wash up and changed into the casual clothes that Teresa had prepared for her.

The surrounding rooms were quiet; the parents and siblings were clearly still asleep.

The young man, Yue Kui, nimbly went downstairs and took the ASH mobile device.

"Go and see her..." the young man Yue Kui muttered to himself.

She also wanted to see her brother, because last night she heard Xiao Yuekui say that the older brother's version of Bai Yuetian's ideology was seriously corrupted.

I hope my older brother doesn't get corrupted by that seemingly unreliable "elder brother".

Following ASH's navigation, the young Yue Kui left the villa.

The streets were sparsely populated, but she walked slowly, pondering how she should ask her brother when she saw him.

Should we directly ask, "What did he show you?", or be more tactful?
After all, although my brother is sometimes eccentric, he is essentially an upright elite of the United Police Department, so he shouldn't be so easily led astray, right?

Besides, should I even ask? After all, we're both adults, and I'm just a younger sister.

With this feeling of helplessness, the young Yue Kui arrived at the apartment building.

She looked up at the window marked with ASH, which belonged to Bai Yuekui and Yang Chen, and then looked at the window next to it that belonged to Bai Yuetian.

After hesitating for a moment, I decided to go find Bai Yuekui first.

If her own brother were truly in cahoots with her, then she would have nothing to say.

Young Yue Kui took the elevator and knocked on the door.

After waiting for a while, no one responded from inside.

"Is he still not up?"

Young Yuekui then rang the doorbell and waited a while longer.

Still no one responded.

"Did they go back to Dragonbone Village last night?"

She looked at the smart lock on the door, hesitated for a moment, and then placed her hand on it.

"Click"

With a soft click, the door opened.

"Sister?" she called out tentatively, her voice sounding somewhat abrupt in the empty living room.

She hesitated for a moment, then walked inside.

The living room was tidy, and there were several shopping bags on the table next to it.

After curiously looking around the living room, she walked inside and saw that, unlike the other open rooms, this bedroom door was closed.

Young Yue Kui guessed that Bai Yue Kui must live in this room, and then walked towards the door.

But as they got closer, they seemed to hear sounds coming from inside the door.

The voice sounded somewhat suppressed, and seemed to indicate that the person was in pain.
Young Yue Kui walked in with a frown, but suddenly she seemed to remember something, her hand on the doorknob paused, and her cheeks flushed instantly.

Yes.

How could I forget? The other Bai Yuekui is not a single person.

She looked around in a panic, then rushed to the door and yanked it open.

"Who?!"

Bai Yuekui's voice came from the bedroom, but the young Yuekui didn't care about anything else.

He went out, turned around and closed the door, all in one smooth motion.

He then hurriedly ran into the stairwell, not even waiting for the elevator, just wanting to escape as quickly as possible.

As he ran downstairs, the young man Yue Kui's heart was still pounding.

The thought of her other self evoked a feeling she couldn't quite describe.

It's so weird.

In the bedroom.

Bai Yuekui withdrew his gaze and looked down at Yang Chen.
