Wait, why is this blond guy a lolicon?

Koizumi Aoyama: [Backpack on my back~ The moment I left home, I knew that real life had too many...]

no way.

The little girl was incredibly stubborn; he had clearly explained that it was a joke.

She insisted on calling him "Daddy".

What can I do?

"Am I juggling multiple relationships right now?" Jiang Ling asked herself.

But soon, he shook his head confidently, saying, "No."

Li Meiyu is "family".

Ouyang Kexin is a "couple".

Ouyang Keling is the "younger sister".

Yan Youyou is a "good friend".

Lan Xinlan was my "primary school classmate".

Shen Yue is an "experimental partner".

See, it's well-organized and clearly defined.

It can be said that he never had multiple relationships at the same time.

He never had multiple relationships at the same time; he simply had different connections with different girls.

Jiang Ling glanced at the rearview mirror; the crazy Daddy hadn't caught up.

Jiang Ling sighed, but still dialed the number to explain things to Koizumi Aoyama.

Actually, he had a vague feeling that Shen Yue might not be as harmless as she seemed on the surface.

The trope of a quiet, taciturn girl being cunning is quite common.

Beep beep beep, the call is connected.

Jiang Ling began by saying, "I'm sorry, I'm very sorry, this is what happened..."

He quickly fabricated a "love at first sight" story, in which the two met by chance, Shen Yue twisted her ankle, he took her to the infirmary, and then she asked him to "experiment" with her.

As for why he was called "Daddy," he explained that it was just a joke he made on a whim.

I thought it was funny at the time, but I never expected your daughter to actually say it...

On the other end of the phone, Koizumi Aoyama: ...

"By the way, don't you still owe me three favors?" Jiang Ling coughed lightly.

"Just use it here once."

Koizumi Aoyama:......

"I...I need to talk to my daughter first. I'm hanging up now," Koizumi Aoyama said through gritted teeth, letting out a sigh.

beep-

In the villa's living room, the air was almost frozen.

After a long silence, Koizumi Aoyama looked at his daughter sitting opposite him and rubbed his aching temples:

"You bumped into each other at the corner, then you tripped and twisted your ankle and he took you to the infirmary, and then you hit it off... and you put on a 'love experiment'? Just to prove the authenticity of 'love'?"

Shen Yue's ahoge (cowlick) swayed slightly: "Yes."

"He didn't force you, nor did he do anything to wrong you?"

"Yes."

Koizumi Aoyama let out a long sigh and slumped into the sofa.

The initial rage was gradually replaced by a sense of powerless exhaustion.

He knew his daughter too well—once she made up her mind about something, nothing could sway her. Just as he couldn't stop his wife from leaving back then, he couldn't forcefully stop his daughter's inexplicable "experiment" now.

At least... in his life, there were only two things he couldn't stop—first, his wife's departure, and second, opposing what Shen Yue believed in.

Shen Yue raised her purple eyes.

Her eyes sparkled with pure curiosity, but there was not a trace of girlish emotion.

"Yue'er, don't really get involved. Since there are no feelings between you two... you must decide what you can and cannot do," Koizumi Aoyama said seriously.

Shen Yue nodded calmly, closed her eyes, and said in a completely calm voice, "Everything is just a passerby on my journey to seek the truth."

Koizumi Aoyama: "Really?"

Shen Yue nodded, her tone calm: "I could never have any feelings for the experimental subjects that go beyond the truth."

Her tone was so certain, as if she were stating a natural law: "Water is not poisonous."

Koizumi Aoyama stared at his daughter for a few seconds, then finally sighed.

"That would be for the best..."

……

In the shadows downstairs.

"Beautiful Coconut, fly up and check the situation, then tell me," Jiang Ling whispered.

"Yes, Master!"

A few minutes later, the beautiful coconut floated down and whispered its report in his ear.

Jiang Ling nodded, turned around and walked into the convenience store next door.

A moment later, he bought his things, went upstairs, and returned to his front door.

The key had just been turned when the door opened a crack—

A large, gleaming pair of scissors shot out from the darkness inside the door!

Bang!

The blade was precisely planted in the floor in front of his toes, its blade still trembling.

Jiang Ling: ……

He silently bent down, picked up the scissors and put them away, then calmly pushed open the door and entered.

Lan Xinlan had already returned to her seat, staring intently at the scenery outside.

"Oh, the 'King of Guanzhong' is back?"

Li Meiyu's voice came from the direction of the sofa, accompanied by an overly sweet laugh.

The TV in front of the sofa was lit up and playing the TV series "The Great Han Empire".

Her beautiful, smooth twin ponytails swayed gently, their fluffy appearance clearly indicating that she had just taken a bath.

The pink and white mini nightgown has been replaced with a lighter style, the fabric is so thin it's almost transparent, and the thin shoulder straps look like they would break at the slightest pull.

The skirt was surprisingly short, just past the upper thigh, revealing a pair of straight and slender legs. The knees were tinged with a faint pink, like fine mutton fat jade in the dim light.

If we ignore her beautiful eyes, which curve like crescent moons but harbor a deadly intent...

This is simply the most alluring sight of a young wife waiting for her husband to return home.

Jiang Ling remained expressionless, bent down, and placed the scissors aside.

"General Yu, you flatter me. I dare not accept the title of King of Guanzhong..."

The game... has begun again!

An invisible aura collided and intertwined between the two. It was as if a Chu-Han border had appeared out of thin air, dividing the living room in two.

Even Lan Xinlan, who was hiding in the cupboard, couldn't help but hold her breath and slightly open her mouth.

"Wow...what a terrifying aura..."

"Hmph~" Li Meiyu gave a soft snort, her fair and delicate feet lightly stepping on the floor as she walked towards him step by step.

With each step she took, she posed a question, her voice soft and gentle, yet each word sharp as a knife:

"What time is it now?"

"Where did you go?"

"Who did you go with?"

"What...is your relationship?"

Jiang Ling showed no fear and took a step forward to answer one question:

"10:30."

"Go buy caramel pudding for a certain little glutton."

"I went alone."

"Us? Of course, we're in a master-servant relationship: a zookeeper and a silly little kitten."

After saying that, he magically pulled out an exquisite little box from the personal space behind him.

Inside the box, the pale yellow pudding trembled slightly, its surface covered with amber-colored caramel, and topped with a bright red strawberry that looked incredibly tempting. Just looking at it, you could imagine its smooth and sweet taste.

【Wow~ It's Miyu's favorite strawberry caramel pudding!】

A glint flashed across Li Meiyu's eyes, but her face remained tense, maintaining her aloof and accusatory demeanor.

She began to slowly circle around Jiang Ling, continuing to ask questions:

Have you had dinner yet?

"When did you eat?"

"Who did you eat with?"

Jiang Ling followed her direction, turning in a circle simultaneously, and gave a flawless answer:

"not yet."

"I went to do a short-term job around nine o'clock."

"Of course I'm alone. Otherwise, how could I have dinner with Mr. Pudding?"

Lan Xinlan was dazzled and had no idea why the two of them started spinning around in circles while they were talking.

But their distance gradually narrowed as they rotated, like particles of opposites attracting and entangled with each other.

"Miyu left you some instant curry."

Li Meiyu suddenly stopped, looked up at her, and softened her voice, "It can be eaten after heating it up... Do you want to eat together?"

"Is this... a trap?" Jiang Ling raised an eyebrow and smiled. "Is General Yu hosting a banquet for Jiang Bang?"

"This is no trap at all~" Li Meiyu suddenly reached out and took his arm.

Their soft, smooth skin pressed tightly together, and the sweet scent of the young girl after her bath, mixed with a faint milky fragrance, filled their nostrils.

When Jiang Ling lowered her head, she could catch a glimpse of the slight undulations in the loose neckline, half-concealing and half-revealing, extremely alluring...

Alas, Jiangbang is going to become Tanbang.

Li Meiyu stared intently into his eyes.

She had her suspicions from the very beginning—when Lan Xinlan returned, she said Jiang Ling was going to do a part-time job and would be back late.

But her intuition told her: something was fishy!

How could Lan Xinlan know what he was doing? And how could she be so sure that he would come back?

The only explanation is that there was an "ambiguous" period between them.

Even though Lan Xinlan could have gone home with him, he deliberately made her come back first so that they could give the same story and deceive him.

However, it seems there wasn't any cheating... Hehe, you stinky blondie~ If I find out you're cheating, I'll chop you up with scissors~

Jiang Ling thought to herself, "As expected of a woman in love... I admire her!"

However, fortunately, I was more skilled.

This battle of wits in love... seems to have ended in a draw?

Li Meiyu finally couldn't hold back any longer, happily took the pudding, and carefully scooped up a spoonful and put it in her mouth.

Cool, smooth, creamy, sweet with caramel and a hint of strawberry tartness melt on the tongue—wow, it's absolutely delicious!

—Miyu, Miyu, the real battle has only just begun.

While eating curry, Jiang Ling casually remarked in a conversational tone:

"Hey, Miyu, I don't think you have this nightgown, right?"

"Huh? This...this..." Li Meiyu paused slightly as she scooped up the pudding. "I...I just bought it online."

"Is that so?"

Jiang Ling put down the spoon, leaned forward slightly, and looked down at her ear tips, which were slightly red from nervousness.

"Why does it look a bit like... a 'love withdrawal' outfit? Did you wear it specifically for me?"

"Pah... No, no! What withdrawal? I just randomly picked someone..." Li Meiyu panicked and unconsciously clutched her skirt.

[Hmm...were we...found out?]

Jiang Ling did not give up.

He lowered his head, slowly approaching her lips, which were slightly pursed in panic, his warm breath brushing against her ear.

His voice was low and magnetic, with a seductive smile:

"It's only ten o'clock, but the bedding is already made, or rather... you actually took a shower a long time ago, made the bed, and even changed into... this nightgown."

Why?

"You... did all these things especially for me, my darling Miyu, you want... 'SeSe,' right?"

P.S.: Next chapter will be about training (seriously, just kidding, Haki Ginger gets shredded and stir-fried with potatoes...).

PS: To fit the later plot, here's a small patch: the Myriad Souls Banner has an additional setting: it can leave soul imprints on the surface of objects. Mei Yezi can stay in the soul imprint, but the soul imprint needs to be retrieved before Mei Yezi can return to the Myriad Souls Banner.

P.S.: If the next chapter, which is supposed to be an extra chapter, isn't released on time today, it's because Shen He has given me coins...
