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

Chapter 63 Closed door

Bai Yuetian strolled briskly through Longgu Village late at night.

The soft light of the streetlights outlined his tall and straight figure, and his face, which was no different from that of the old world, still carried a hint of pride.

He stretched out his finger and curiously poked at the vines and leaves hanging by the roadside, feeling the real touch. He then kicked a small pebble at his feet, listening to its rolling away.

"Tsk, this feels really good," he muttered to himself, a smile involuntarily creeping onto his lips.

"We really should have gotten a body sooner."

Freed from the constraints of that metal sphere, I regained my full senses, and even the air seemed to carry the scent of freedom.

He deliberately went around to the square in the center of the village. The training ground was also quiet and empty, with only the moonlight shining down silently.

He wandered over to the entrance of Xia Tianlai's clinic, where the lights were already off.

"They're all asleep? These young people go to bed way too early." Bai Yuetian pouted, feeling a little disappointed.

There's no liveliness to be found, and the restaurants in the village must be closed too.

They even said they wanted to taste the aroma of food after so long.

Feeling bored, he naturally thought of a place.

My younger sister's house.

Bai Yuekui and Yang Chen's residence was not far from the square.

Bai Yuetian walked over familiarly and knocked on the familiar wooden door.

Dude, dunk, dunk.

The lights were still on inside.

Bai Yuekui was sitting at the table flipping through a science book from the old world, while Yang Chen had just finished showering and came out of the bathroom, drying his wet hair.

"Who is it?" Bai Yuekui didn't even look up; his cold voice came from behind the door.

It's so late, the villagers usually won't bother us.

"Me!" Bai Yuetian replied with a strong voice.

He subconsciously straightened his back and adjusted the slightly tight-fitting clothes he had found on the spot.

There was a moment of silence inside the door.

Next, there was the sound of a chair being gently pushed away.

The footsteps gradually approached the door.

Bai Yuetian's smile widened even more.

They left in a hurry during the day, probably because they were hungry, which is why they didn't intend to talk to me much.

Moreover, I also need to undergo adaptability testing.

He imagined Bai Yuekui's expression when he opened the door and saw his body.

Surprised? Or at least feel a sense of nostalgia for a long-awaited reunion?
The door lock made a slight creaking sound and opened a crack inward.

Bai Yuekui's aloof and stunningly beautiful face appeared behind the crack in the door.

Her gaze swept calmly over her newborn brother, who was standing outside the door.

Her gaze lingered on Bai Yuetian's smug face, which was practically screaming "Praise me!", for less than half a second.

Then, without any further changes in expression or any pleasantries.

Bai Yuekui closed the door decisively and without hesitation.

"boom!"

There was a muffled sound.

The heavy wooden door was slammed shut again in front of Bai Yuetian.

The force was so great that it even created a small breeze, blowing the stray hairs on Bai Yuetian's forehead.

The movements are smooth and smooth, done in one go.

Bai Yuetian's smile froze instantly, as if a pause button had been pressed.

He maintained his upright posture, chest out and head held high, eyes wide open and mouth slightly agape.

He stood frozen in front of the closed door, completely petrified.

The door panel was less than an inch away from the tip of his nose.

He could even smell the faint scent of wood and paint on the door panels.

Time seems to have frozen.

After a few seconds of deathly silence.

"???"

Bai Yuetian finally snapped out of her shock and gasped in disbelief.

"Bai Yuekui!!!"

A roar filled with grievance and disbelief suddenly erupted in the silent night.

"What do you mean?! Open the door! Open the door for me!"

"Is this your attitude?! Huh?! I'm your own brother! Your own brother!!" Bai Yuetian pounded on the door, the banging so loud it shook the frame slightly. "Are you kidding me?! I came all this way to see you first! And you slam the door on my door?! Bai Yuekui! Did you hear me?! Open the door!!"

He pounded on the door and shouted, his voice ringing out loudly in the quiet village.

inside the house.

Yang Chen stopped drying his hair, the towel still draped around his neck. He stared at the door that Bai Yuekui had slammed shut without hesitation, and at the earth-shattering roar and pounding on the door coming from outside. His expression was quite interesting.

"Pfft...cough cough..." His shoulders twitched suspiciously.

Bai Yuekui walked back to the table expressionlessly and picked up the science book again.

She turned a page, her tone flat and indifferent.

"There are mosquitoes outside, and it's too noisy."

Outside the door, Bai Yuetian's accusations continued to escalate:
"A mosquito?! You're calling me a mosquito?! Bai Yuekui! Where's your conscience?! I'm your brother!"

"My incredibly handsome, dashing, and universally adored older brother! Is this how you treat me?!"

"Open the door! I'm warning you! If you don't open the door, I... I won't leave this door! I'll shout all night! I'll let the whole village know that you're abusing your own brother!"

"Orange! Yang Chen! Control your wife! She's completely out of control!"

Bai Yuekui reluctantly put down his book and walked to the door again to open it.

The sound stopped abruptly, and Bai Yuetian smiled smugly: "I knew you still care about your brother."

"Knock on the door again and I'll shove your brain back into the ball."

The only response Bai Yuetian received was this sentence, and the door was closed again, with the sound of it being locked being heard.

Yang Chen stopped laughing, walked to Bai Yuekui's side, and lowered his voice.

"Yue Kui...isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

Bai Yuekui raised his eyes, his gaze sweeping over Yang Chen, then glancing at the door that was being pounded on loudly.

"Don't worry about him."

Those four words brought Yang Chen's attempts to persuade him to stop.

He shrugged helplessly, wisely choosing to continue drying his hair and pretending not to hear Bai Yuetian's shouts outside.

Bai Yuetian shouted until his throat was hoarse from calling outside the door, but there was no response from inside.

He was so angry that he spun around twice on the spot, and finally kicked the door, though he didn't dare to use his full strength.

"Fine! Bai Yuekui! You win!" He pointed at the door, gritting his teeth.

After saying that, he turned around angrily and walked away with an air of indifference.

Inside the room, Bai Yuekui turned to the last page of the manual and gently closed it.

She walked to the window, lifted a corner of the curtain, and glanced at the figure angrily walking away into the night.

He let out a barely audible hum, and the corners of his mouth seemed to curve upwards in an extremely subtle way.

Then, she lowered the curtains and went back to the bedroom.

Yang Chen watched her retreating figure, then looked at the now quiet door, and shook his head with a helpless smile.

He dried his hair completely and then went into the bedroom.

"Are we really just going to leave him alone? It's the middle of the night, and he's just getting used to his new body."

"Let him go, he won't die," Bai Yuekui said succinctly.

Her movements were swift and efficient; she took off her daytime clothes, which allowed her to move around easily, and casually tossed them onto a chair nearby.

She then took out pajamas from the closet; the pajamas were simple and form-fitting, outlining her figure.

Yang Chen watched her change into her pajamas, then walked over and carefully folded the clothes she had carelessly tossed on the chair, putting them back in the closet.

He naturally reached out and wrapped his arms around her waist, gently pulling her into his embrace.

Bai Yuekui did not resist, and naturally leaned in, resting her head slightly on his shoulder.

"How ruthless, Boss Bai," Yang Chen whispered in her ear, his voice tinged with amusement.

"That's your own brother, the most handsome, dashing, and universally loved brother."

Bai Yuekui let out a barely audible hum in his arms.

"It's noisy, and it's too late."

She paused, then added casually, "I guess she's just a little excited after the body swap, she'll calm down tomorrow."

Yang Chen chuckled, knowing that she wasn't truly indifferent.

If I really didn't care, I wouldn't have stood by the window watching that figure leave.

"Okay, you're right." He stopped mentioning Bai Yuetian, lowered his head and kissed her forehead. "Go to sleep, it's late."

The two embraced and lay down in the soft bedding.

Yang Chen's arm was still around her, and Bai Yuekui adjusted to the most comfortable position.

She was almost completely nestled in his arms, her back pressed tightly against his chest.

The bedroom fell completely silent, with only the soft breathing of the two of them.
