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

Chapter 66 Sightseeing
inside the house.

As a nimble figure entered, the brief commotion outside was quickly silenced again.

Bai Yuekui's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and a few strands of silver hair clung to his face.

She closed the door behind her, her gaze habitually drifting towards the bedroom.

The room was quiet, with only the sound of even breathing.

She tiptoed to the bedroom door and leaned against the doorframe.

On the bed, Yang Chen was fast asleep, his face buried in the soft bedding, only his disheveled black hair showing.

Seeing that completely unguarded and relaxed appearance, a hint of a smile flashed across Bai Yuekui's cold eyes.

She walked over, sat down on the edge of the bed, and gently pinched Yang Chen's nose with her fingers.

"Well……"

As his breathing became difficult, Yang Chen frowned in his sleep, grunted twice in dissatisfaction, and subconsciously raised his hand to wave it away.

Bai Yuekui deftly dodged the attack, then pinched it back.

Yang Chen finally couldn't stand it anymore and groggily opened his eyes.

Focusing their gaze, they saw Bai Yuekui's mocking face.

"Yue Kui?" Yang Chen's voice was still sleepy from just waking up. He subconsciously reached out and put his arm around Bai Yue Kui's waist, trying to pull him back into bed.

"So early? Sleep a little longer..."

Bai Yuekui let him hug her, but her fingertips still pinched his nose: "It's getting late."

"I've already finished my morning run."

"The end?" Yang Chen's mind was still in a semi-standby state.

He released his grip on Bai Yuekui, rubbed his eyes, and tried to focus on the digital clock on the bedside table.

After checking the time, he uttered a mumbled question, "Hmm? At this hour... it shouldn't be over yet..."

Bai Yuekui then released his nose, patted his face, and stood up to walk to the table in the outer room.

She picked up a heavy little bag from the table, weighed it in her hand, and heard the crisp clinking sound of crystal coins inside.

"Because of this." She held up the bag and gestured to Yang Chen.

"My brother's great achievement last night."

Yang Chen raised an eyebrow: "Your brother? What did he do last night?"

"The arcade is open all night," Bai Yuekui said succinctly, pointing to the bag.

"The bill was put on my tab. When I ran back, the clerk reminded me that it cost thirty crystal coins."

Yang Chen couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Did he try out every single machine inside?"

"Hmm." Bai Yuekui responded and walked to the wardrobe to change out of his sweaty sports vest.

"So I need to go and settle this bill now."

Yang Chen watched as she changed into her everyday clothes, lifted the covers and got out of bed, stretching out with a big yawn, her bones making a slight cracking sound.

"Okay, go ahead. I'll be there in a bit..."

Before he could finish speaking, Bai Yuekui, having changed his clothes, turned around, a rare, teasing smile appearing on his face, interrupting him.

"Don't you have something more important to do later?"

"Teacher Yang?"

Bai Yuekui deliberately dragged out the melody.

"I just saw the children lining up to get on the bus to go to Ecological Base No. 2."

Yang Chen paused, then slapped his forehead.

"Yeah, I almost forgot!"

He immediately perked up and strode towards the bathroom.

"Yes, yes, today we're taking the children to visit Village No. 2."

Watching his hurried figure rush into the bathroom, Bai Yuekui's eyes held a smile.

She picked up the bag of crystal coins on the table, walked to the bathroom door, leaned against the door frame, and watched Yang Chen quickly brushing his teeth and washing his face inside.

"Looks like you're adapting quite well to your role as a substitute teacher," Bai Yuekui joked. Yang Chen was the only one in the village capable of taking the school children out, but he didn't need to go every day, so he occasionally did other chores.

Yang Chen spat out the foam in his mouth and replied indistinctly.

"It's alright." He scooped up some cold water and splashed it on his face.

He dried his face and looked at Bai Yuekui at the door, his eyes bright.

"You should be back by noon. If you're not back yet, you can eat first. Don't wait for me."

Bai Yuekui nodded slightly and shook the bag of crystal coins in her hand: "Well, breakfast is in the pot. I'm going to the arcade now."

"it is good."

Yang Chen agreed and watched Bai Yuekui turn and leave.

The door closed, leaving him alone in the house. He put on his clothes, went to the kitchen, and lifted the pot lid. Inside were warm rice porridge and two boiled eggs.

He sat down, peeling an egg while mentally reviewing his schedule for the day.

Bai Yuekui walked briskly towards the game hall next to the village center square, the coin bag in her hand swaying gently with each step.

The young man who stayed up all night with Bai Yuetian last night has gone home to sleep. Now there is only a lean middle-aged man in the shop, who owns the arcade.

Upon seeing Bai Yuekui, he immediately straightened up: "Boss Bai, here to play games so early?"

"No."

Bai Yuekui shook his head and looked around.

"Where's that child? Where did he go?"

The middle-aged man paused for a moment, then replied, "Oh, you mean Zheng Nan? He probably stayed up all night last night and is catching up on sleep now."

Bai Yuekui sighed helplessly and handed over the bag of crystal coins.

"My brother's bill from last night."

"A bill?" the middle-aged man asked, somewhat puzzled.

It seems that the boy named Zheng Nan went back to sleep without properly handing things over with the shop owner.

“My brother played here all night last night, thirty crystal coins, you count them.”

The shop owner roughly understood what he meant, took the bag but didn't actually count it, and laughed, "No need to count, no need to count, Mr. Bai, how could I not trust you?"

Meanwhile, Yang Chen had finished his breakfast and was standing at the school gate.

Qiu Shi led a group of children, around seven or eight years old, who had gathered around chattering. There were about a dozen of them, and their faces were full of excitement and curiosity.

Ulan Maiduo stood at the front of the line, exuding the air of a junior class leader.

Upon seeing Yang Chen arrive, Qiu Shi stepped forward and said, "Boss Yang, the car is ready."

Yang Chen nodded and asked, "Where's Tie Xiao? Has he already gone over?"

Tie Xiao is also an Awakened One, but when he is not on a mission, he is the school's physical education teacher.

“Yes, he took another group of children and went ahead first,” Qiu Shi replied.

When the children saw Yang Chen, they all shouted out in a cacophony of voices.

Good morning, Teacher Yang!

Yang Chen felt relieved by that shout.

He deliberately put on a stern face and cleared his throat: "Ahem! Is everyone here?"

"Everyone's here!"

The children answered in unison, and Maido even turned around to count the heads to confirm.

"Alright." Yang Chen waved his hand. "Target: Ecological Base No. 2! Let's go!"

Bai Yuekui stood not far away, watching Yang Chen's departing figure surrounded by children, patiently answering the chattering questions around him, truly resembling a teacher.

She stood there for a while and then left; she also had students to teach.

The preparatory awakened walker, Shattered Star, has a good talent in neurobiology.

It would be best if Bai Yuekui, an expert in the field of neurology, were to teach.
