"The previous one, wasn't it already...?"

"Ah, those are just demon minions. The cost of summoning them is very low. It's no big deal if one or two are taken care of."

"Summon me..."

Lin Qiu stroked his chin, staring thoughtfully at Liu Yu.

"Is there a problem, Lord E-Lin Qiu?"

The thought that they had already revealed their real names without reservation made Liu Yu simply address them by name, smiling as she looked at Lin Qiu, who seemed to be deep in thought.

"Liu Yu, besides that grunt and Chu Ning's clone, can you summon any other creatures?"

Upon hearing Lin Qiu's question, Qin Yunmo immediately realized something and stared intently at him.

Liu Yu pondered carefully, and after a few seconds of hesitation, she finally spoke—

"The princess's clone can only be used once, and I can't use it anymore. As for monsters like the flesh-body type, I can summon about twenty at a time."

"If I want higher quality, I can summon Shadow Assassins, Blood Elves, Frost Guardians, and Cursed Butterflies. But with my current abilities, I can't summon any stronger creatures."

"Hiss—this is almost as good as that pet shop in the tenth place of the arena."

Hearing Liu Yu's detailed account, Ze Zhi gasped in shock.

However, the two summoned creatures are of different types. The pet shop's creatures tend to be elves, while Liu Yu's creatures tend to be demons, but both of them are single-handedly forming an army!

"Pet shop?"

"Ah—it's that adventurer of ours called 'Face My Child,' but because his name is too long and he's good at summoning creatures, we usually just call him Pet Shop."

Zezhi explained that he had quite a bit of information about him.

Thanks to the hidden skills of the Elf Priest, he firmly occupies the position of the top ten gatekeeper in the arena.

Originally ranked ninth, he was forced down to tenth by Cú Chulainn. However, the two became friends after their initial conflict and often hung out together.

"I see. What a strange name... Um, Lord Lin Qiu, it's not appropriate for you to stare like that."

Liu Yu muttered to herself, but then noticed Lin Qiu staring at her excitedly and subtly moving behind Chu Ning.

Could this guy be planning something bad while things are going well?

"Ahem, sorry! It's just that Liu Yu's abilities have exceeded my expectations, and I got a little excited. I wonder if I could ask you for a favor?"

"You also want a physical body to help you?"

"Absolutely not!"

Glancing out of the corner of his eye at his three teammates who had moved to a slightly farther position, Lin Qiu's lips twitched as he quickly denied it.

I don't have that kind of perverse interest!

"There's an enemy I've been eyeing for a long time, and I'd like to ask Liu Yu for your help in dealing with him."

"Oh? Does Lord Lin Qiu also have enemies?"

Upon hearing Lin Qiu's words, Liu Yu also became interested. If she could take this opportunity to do him a favor and get him closer to the princess so that he could make some contribution to the grand plan, that would not be bad!

Meanwhile, Ze Zhi and Ying Ziyan on the other side gradually realized what was happening and both showed expressions of surprise.

"Enemies? Not really. It's just that there's a monster called the Dying Soul in the Ruined Battlefield. It's a territory monster that our team recently discovered. Its abilities and location are quite unique, so we thought we'd ask you to help keep things under control."

Calling on Liu Yu is like having a bunch of extra henchmen. It would be a waste not to use them to take down the new boss!

Qin Yunmo and the others also looked at Liu Yu with great anticipation. In "Empty Realm", there had never been a situation where players teamed up with NPCs before, so this was a good opportunity to try it out!

If possible...

Looking at the three perfect tools in front of them, Lin Qiu and Ze Zhi both showed excited expressions of making a fortune.

"Slay the monster...?"

Liu Yu murmured to herself, glancing questioningly at Chu Ning. It would be better to let the princess make the decision.

After thinking for a while, Chu Ning directly suggested—

"I can get Liu Yu to help you, but please count me in too. Now that we've got Mr. Lin Qiu's gun, it's time to test its true power on the monster!"

Class monitor of 102, what are you doing in the middle of the night?

"You guys talk first, I'll go to my room to make some medicine."

"I'll go with you..."

Seeing Lin Qiu trying to abandon her teammates and slip away, Qin Yunmo was about to follow when a hand grabbed her and held her firmly in place.

Somewhat stiffly, she turned her head and saw Ying Ziyan silently grabbing the hem of her clothes, her terrifying brute force pulling Qin Yunmo back to her seat.

"Yunmo, we still have a lot to talk about with you, don't leave so soon."

"..."

Feeling the sharp gazes coming from all around, even Qin Yunmo felt a chill run down his spine.

He looked towards Lin Qiu for help, but when he saw that the guy had already disappeared, his face darkened.

That bastard, is it really okay to abandon your teammates like this?!

While Qin Yunmo was undergoing a new round of interrogation and torture, Qin Xuan and Qin Dan, who were unable to sleep at all in the real room, suddenly sat up.

They glanced at the time on their phones, still wide awake, and after confirming it was almost bedtime, the two of them jumped out of bed in a flash.

After cautiously glancing at Lin Qiu and confirming that he hadn't reached the limit of waking up from the game, the two little ones breathed a slight sigh of relief and tiptoed out of the room.

The hallway and living room outside were completely dark, and the quiet atmosphere made the two little ones a bit nervous.

They tiptoed toward Chie's room, pressing their ears against the door to eavesdrop for a while. After confirming that the older sister inside was not making any unusual movements, the two of them gently turned the doorknob.

"Ok?"

Qin Yunmo, who was in the game, also heard a noise, frowned, and quickly looked around.

After confirming that the voice wasn't coming from within the game, my heart sank – someone had entered my room!

Who is it? Qin Xuan or Qin Dan? Or perhaps... Lin Qiu, who left under some pretext?

Before she could even open her friends list to check Lin Qiu's login status, Ze Zhi's voice suddenly drifted over—

"So, Yunmo, you've already met Lin Qiu's mother?"

"Uh-huh--"

"Isn't Lin Qiu's mother very beautiful? When I first met Lin Qiu, I felt that he inherited many of his mother's good looks, especially his skin and hair! I was a little envious of them."

"She's a beauty, looks very young, and looks like a sister to Lin Qiu when they stand together. She's quite... quite kind."

The thought of her overly enthusiastic attitude towards him made Qin Yunmo's lips twitch involuntarily.

The parents' enthusiasm is actually what scares me the most!

While Qin Yunmo's attention was diverted, the two little ones, Qin Xuan and Qin Dan, quietly slipped to her bedside, chuckling as they pulled out their phones.

Ah Xuan, move aside, my angle isn't good, I need to get closer!

Qin Dan made a few hand gestures to indicate that Qin Xuan should move aside and watch with interest as she took a series of photos of her older sister.

The lady is wearing a helmet; won't taking a picture like this affect her appearance?

Qin Xuan gestured with his lips, indicating that his eldest sister's helmet had completely covered her beautiful long hair. It probably wouldn't look good if it were used as wallpaper.

No problem, I can use Photoshop! I've got that little skill!

Qin Dan gave her a reassuring look, took a few more full-body photos, and then nodded in satisfaction.

I'll go change the wallpaper for Lin Qiu in a bit! He definitely won't want to change the wallpaper of such a beautiful older sister!

Xiao Dan grinned, put away her phone, and then looked towards Qin Xuan. She was done, but she didn't know what Qin Xuan was planning to do next.

Feeling Qin Dan's gaze, Qin Xuan took a deep breath and then moved closer to his older sister's face.

Gazing at that peaceful sleeping face, she licked her lips and slowly lowered her head. As the distance between them gradually closed, her hot breath brushed against Qin Yunmo's face.

The next second—

"Chi-"

After giving his older sister a quick kiss on the cheek, Qin Xuan and Qin Dan rushed to the door like the wind.

Almost unleashing their full potential, the two little ones suddenly soared to their maximum speed and vanished in a flash.

Qin Yunmo, who felt that strange touch in the game, widened his eyes instantly and covered the cheek that had been kissed in disbelief.

I was attacked at night?!

"What's wrong, Yunmo?"

Seeing Qin Yunmo's unusual behavior, Ying Ziyan and the others asked him a question with some confusion.

"I have something to do here, I'm logging off now! You guys keep playing."

"Eh?"

Without offering any further explanation, Qin Yunmo logged out of the game.

Watching her figure dissipate into fragments, Chu Ning's eyes narrowed slightly, but she said nothing, simply sipping her tea silently, as if pondering Qin Yunmo's whereabouts.

What would the world of adventurers be like?

Meanwhile, Qin Yunmo, after waking up, also sat up with a serious expression, his eyes fixed on the open door.

Without thinking, she rushed out of the room and her gaze swept over the two rooms next door.

Who's causing trouble?!

After a few seconds of contemplation, Qin Yunmo immediately headed towards Lin Qiu's room. That guy hadn't made a sound since he went upstairs in the game, and he was a suspect just like the other two!

He tiptoed to the door, listened to the sounds inside, and after confirming that there was no noise, Qin Yunmo suddenly pushed the door open.

"Bang!"

The two little ones in the blanket shuddered in fright, but quickly calmed down and pretended to be asleep as if they knew nothing.

Upon entering the room, Qin Yunmo's gaze immediately fell upon Lin Qiu, who was lying on the carpet. Lin Qiu was wearing a helmet and looked as if he hadn't yet logged out of the game.

Qin Yunmo frowned as she walked to his side. After hesitating for a moment, she gently pressed her hand to her chest, listening to the steady heartbeat, and breathed a sigh of relief without leaving a trace.

It seems it wasn't him!

"Um—class monitor... what are you doing in the middle of the night?"

However, before she could let go, Lin Qiu suddenly opened her eyes, staring blankly at Qin Yunmo, who seemed to be about to launch a night attack.

Where are you putting your hands? Something's not right!

"..."

Qin Yunmo's eyelids twitched wildly. He withdrew his hand as if electrocuted, and then hurriedly explained—

"It's not what you think. Someone ambushed me while I was playing a game, and I'm here to catch the suspect."

"Sneak attack?"

Lin Qiu was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, and his gaze subconsciously drifted to the two little ones on the bed.

Before Qin Yunmo came in, he had heard the door open. Could it be those two?

As their gazes became fixed on the two little ones curled up in a ball on the bed, the two people under the covers suddenly felt a chill run down their spines...

103 - Fragile Trust Within a Family

Are you going to keep pretending?

Looking at the two little ones wrapped up like a ball, Qin Yunmo asked expressionlessly, his chilling tone sending a cold sweat through the two little ones in the blankets.

Now that things have come to this, I can't bring myself to admit it. The only way to survive is to continue playing dead!

Seeing that the two little ones were determined to keep up the act, Qin Yunmo's forehead veins bulged slightly, and he spoke again with a threatening tone—

"If you keep acting like this, I'm going to take action against your Gundams."

"..."

Who are you trying to fool! Brother Lin Qiu is right here, I don't believe you can do anything outrageous!
