Bad women are always eyeing me covetously.

Topa had never felt so calm before. Gazing into those light purple eyes, she simply lowered her eyelids.

“I’ve known this for a long time….”

She simply leaned down and rested her forehead on Xi Lan's shoulder, curling up slightly, yet she resembled an insecure child.

"...When will you be able to...be even slightly aware of my feelings...Xi Lan..."

-------------------

Chapter 159 Why Not Give It a Try with Me?

These words seemed to have truly shocked Miss Fox. Upon reflection, she realized that her feelings for little Yelena were based on techniques she had learned from Lady Emerald and Kafka, which she then applied to the child.

Thinking about it this way, perhaps this is the mistake.

Did this excessive indulgence cause Yelena to develop the wrong feelings towards her?

But in this atmosphere, how am I supposed to start the conversation?

With a complicated expression, Xi Lan looked at the ceiling, but her arm moved hesitantly and cautiously, as if to soothe Topa's current mood. She slowed down the pressure of her hand and gently patted Topa's back.

In short, I still want her to calm down before we talk properly.

Meanwhile, Topa, who was lying on Xi Lan's body, blushed furiously as she felt Xi Lan's caresses.

She didn't want to expose her feelings like this.

But seeing how Xi Lan treated her like a good younger sister, she finally couldn't hold back, in this situation, in this environment, in this atmosphere...

All of them are the worst.

Sister Xilan, do you hate this?

What if I don't like it?

The silver-white fox gently comforted little Yelena in its arms, seemingly patiently waiting for her emotions to calm down.

Once her rapid heartbeat subsided, Xi Lan managed to sit up, and naturally, she wrapped her arms around Topa's waist, carefully letting her sit on her lap.

"Do you feel better?"

She had to calm down now, looking at Toppa with surprising calm as she gazed into his eyes and asked gently as ever.

Faced with Xi Lan, who was still indulging him even in this situation, Topa felt too embarrassed to continue revealing his unspeakable feelings.

But the sight of Xi Lan and that woman whose face was obscured, so intimately huddled together, made Toppa feel a pang of jealousy.

Like eating a lemon, the sour feeling in her heart made her feel particularly gloomy.

"Um..."

Her hand rested on Xi Lan's shoulder, and the distance between them closed once again, so that Toppa could be close to that person again if she wanted to.

"...Should we pretend today's events never happened?" She winked subtly.

He asked, "Or... do you want me to keep it a secret?"

Xi Lan didn't know how to cheer her up, so she could only leave the choice to Topa, who was sitting in her lap.

"So, the fact that Sister Xilan was so intimate with other people..." Topa seemed to have calmed down, looking down at Xilan's current appearance: "Do I also have to keep this a secret from Lady Emerald?"

As if her weakness had been exposed, Xi Lan stiffened slightly for a moment. Although she quickly concealed her nervousness, Toppa still managed to capture the emotional fluctuation.

"Do you want me to keep it a secret?"

As if she had found a rare weakness in Xi Lan, she used these words on the fox lady beneath her.

Xi Lan's fox ears drooped, and her originally confident voice gradually weakened: "Then let's keep what happened today a secret, okay? Whatever you want to do, I'll try my best to satisfy you?"

She knew that the Emerald Lady did not like the Star Core Hunters, especially Kafka.

However, Xi Lan, who was forced to get involved in the matter of her former and current adoptive mothers, was like a small boat at sea. If she lost control even slightly, she would sink completely to the bottom of the sea.

...That makes me sound like some kind of time management guru.

Upon hearing this promise, Toppa's eyes lit up slightly, and he seemed quite satisfied with Xilan's suggestion.

"Really?"

Xi Lan's eyelids twitched, but she still added, "Really, but you can't do anything too outrageous."

But where exactly the line is drawn for this excessive behavior, no one knows.

In such a conversation, the relationship between the two women may have already transcended that of ordinary sisters.

At least one side's feelings had already begun to change.

This conversation did indeed calm Xiao Yelina down considerably, and the complex emotions that had appeared on her face disappeared.

Obscure, complex, a gaze that seemed to want to devour her whole.

Ultimately, Xi Lan is still indulging Topa in every way, just like she's tolerating a child.

Even when faced with a change in feelings, all she could do was smile and keep it a secret, so that no one would know.

In any case, at least Toppa has calmed down and is no longer like before...

After changing her clothes and thoroughly tidying herself up, she adjusted to her usual work routine. Standing at the door, she seemed to remember something and waved to Xi Lan with a mysterious look on her face.

"Oh, right, Sister Xilan, can we give each other a kiss before we leave?"

The next second, those warm fingertips lingered on her cheek and pinched Toppa's face without hesitation, but quickly let go.

"Ouch!" Topa groaned in pain, pitifully rubbing his face. "Sister Xilan said she would fulfill my request... It's completely unreasonable."

Xi Lan rubbed her fingers gently, looking helplessly at the poor little Yelena in front of her.

I was just planning to give him a kiss on the cheek.

Director Toppa, who didn't seem to be planning to follow the script, leaned in again as the kiss was about to land, and before he could control himself, it turned into a kissing match.

Unexpectedly, Topa and Xilan took a few steps back and covered their mouths. Topa just smiled sheepishly, and under the resentful gaze of Xilan, he quickly picked up Zhangzhang and ran away.

Standing at the door, Xi Lan cautiously stuck out her tongue and licked her bitten lip, tasting blood.

It still hurts a lot.

"Why did I act so recklessly in this matter..."

She gasped, silently pondering the current state of her relationship with Topa.

"What did you do so recklessly?"

On the other side, the guest room doors had been opened at some point, and Kafka, now dressed in her own clothes, stared intently at Xilan's covered mouth.

"When did you come back?"

"Yes, not long."

She glanced at Toppa's hurried departure, then at Xilan's current state...

Kaffa's face still held a smile, but there was a subtle chill that sent shivers down one's spine.

"She just kissed you, didn't she?"

As Xi Lan watched Kafka approach step by step, she didn't know where she got the courage to face this woman who seemed so abnormal for some reason.

"So what if we kissed? It's none of your business."

Kafka chuckled softly, her eyes naturally falling on the little fox's bruised lip. She reached out and pressed her hand against the fox's chin, forcing a direct eye contact.

"It seems her kissing skills aren't very good, perhaps..."

Those soft lips parted and closed, and the woman in front of him laughed unrestrainedly.

"Good boy, want to try with me?"

Chapter 160 A Small Head, A Big Question

Xi Lan just chuckled, leaned against the door, crossed her arms and looked at the woman in front of her, not at all afraid of what this person might do to her.

"I never expected that you would have different thoughts about the children you've cared for before?"

Although this statement is somewhat offensive, it's fine as long as Lady Emerald can't hear it right now.

"Don't you have any morals?"

Her finger was simply pointing at Kafka's heart.

The man simply chuckled indifferently, as if he had heard something amusing, and then reached out and grabbed Xi Lan's wrist.

This allowed her to directly sink her hands into that soft mass, successfully turning the silver-white fox lady's cheeks to the color of tomatoes.

"How could a Star Core Hunter possibly have a sense of morality, silly child?" Kafka's words were casual, but they still resonated with Xilan.

It kept making her subconsciously back away until she was back inside the room, with nowhere left to retreat. The softness in her palm sank completely there, and the strange sensation made her want to pull her hand away.

Instead, the person completely closed the door, leaving the room completely dark.

But Kafka's grip on her wrist was just too tight.

"It's okay for me to be so close to them, but not for them?"

She was like a demon luring Xi Lan into her descent into depravity; her seductive words, like feathers, brushed against his ear.

The choice seemed to be in Yulan's hands, but in reality, the initiative in this exchange was firmly in Kafka's grasp.

Xi Lan felt a rare sense of panic, and at the same time, she found herself increasingly unable to understand what the woman in front of her was thinking.

"What exactly do you want to do, Kaffa?!"
