You've found the Gusha-hime Knight, so put your hair up in a bun!

After grumbling a couple of times, Cecilia, not wanting to watch Irene surpass her progress and get ahead, turned around angrily and focused on maintaining the barrier.

Of course, it would be better if the commotion behind the scenes could be kept to a minimum.

"Gurgle... Master, Irene... Irene feels so strange~"

The freshly steamed xiaolongbao, with their fair skin adorned with adorable red blush, made Xiluo's mouth water.

A small steamed bun is so small that you can hold it perfectly in your palm with just half your hands together.

Although it can't be as filling as a handful of small watermelons or pomelos, it has its own unique flavor.

As a seasoned food connoisseur, Xi Luo naturally wouldn't overlook the little cherries adorning the xiaolongbao.

After the xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) are steamed, you can't rush to eat them; they need to go through a "resting" process first.

Therefore, "awakening the buns" involves using exquisite acupressure techniques to massage several points on the buns, making them appear as if they have just woken up from a dream, with a radiant, rosy glow on their fair skin.

This requires considerable skill and vision, but of course, it's no challenge for the great gourmet, Shiloh.

When Xiluo saw the fruit pastry standing atop the xiaolongbao stretching lazily, she smiled slightly and gently traced the pink circles around the pastry with her fingernail, initiating a second stage of awakening the fruit.

During this process, Shiloh performed the fine motor skills while keeping an eye on Irene's overall movements.

Only after Guosu stretched out her yawns to their fullest extent and trembled twice in an absolutely tense state did Xiluo's eyes sharpen, realizing that this was the perfect moment to savor the cherries!

So Shiloh quickly bent down, but very gently, and put the fruit pastry into her mouth, then gently sucked on it.

chirp~

However, with such a simple movement, Irene's eyes widened, and then her shoulder blades pressed tightly against the bed, her slender waist arching upwards as if she were dying, forming a breathtaking curve!

"Goooooo!!!"

The warm soup from the steamed buns bubbled out, turning Irene's delicate little ears bright red. Her usually cool, fluorescent blue eyes lost all their aloofness, and the white space in her eyes resembled the blank space in a great work of art, filled with an indescribable sense of awe and joy.

wow~

As the clothes were removed, the adorable kitten once again revealed itself completely to its beloved and cherished owner.

"Little Irene, I like you a lot. I like you a lot, a lot."

Shiloh didn't want the kitten's feelings to be conveyed only in one direction, so at this crucial moment, he uttered words of confession that made Irene's heart tremble.

"Waaah~ Master, Master brother..."

Irene was surprised to hear such a solemn response from Shiloh. Overwhelmed with emotion and joy, her bright blue eyes welled up with tears.

chirp~

They kissed, and blood fell.

Irene let out a muffled groan, her voice filled with more boundless joy than pain.

In front of the little girl, Xi Luo's actions were relatively restrained and tender, after all, she was only at the [Dust-Bound Stage] and her physical condition was still weak, so it was not suitable for her to be too violent.

For example, right now, even though the preparations were done well, the little girl was already sticking out her tongue after just a little exercise.

If it were a full-force attack, being knocked unconscious would be the least of one's worries.

After storing the crimson-stained white silk cloth into the precious wooden box in his storage ring, Shilo nudged Cecilia, who had her back to him, and asked, "Is there any holy prayer that can temporarily strengthen the body and willpower?"

Cecilia trembled at his words, then turned around in disbelief, pointed to herself, and asked, "You want me to... cast a prayer on little Irene?"

Because she needs to maintain the barrier and prevent the black flames from leaking out, Cecilia is definitely not allowed to do certain things.

Therefore, to her at this moment, Shiloh's words sounded particularly inhuman.

"What's the difference between this and asking me to help push it?! You bastard!"

Chapter 79 [Silver Mist Steps] (One chapter is due, will be added in a couple of days)

Seeing Cecilia's indignant expression, Shiloh asked with amusement, "I've never seen you care so much about this kind of thing before, why now—?"

Upon hearing this, Cecilia was stunned, her face flushed, and the words stuck in her throat, unable to come out.

This person... is asking a question they already know the answer to!

The past is the past, and the present is the present; how can they be the same?!

After spending more time with him, Cecilia felt that apart from being lecherous and arrogant, Shiloh seemed to have no other flaws.

Not to mention that just now, he had joined forces with him to fight that powerful vampire. This shared sense of purpose in working together to eliminate the demon race and protect the safety of the people reached its peak, causing his favorability rating to rise rapidly.

It is precisely because I care that I feel bittersweet.

Seeing Cecilia's embarrassment, Shiloh didn't continue teasing her. Instead, he put his arm around her shoulder, leaned close to her ear, and whispered, "I'm very satisfied with your performance today. So, I'll reward you handsomely when we get back... before Elena's reward~"

As Cecilia listened to Shiloh's soft, deep voice, she felt the warmth seep into her ear canal, making her head feel tingly and numb, and her crystalline blush quickly turned her earlobes red.

Cecilia knew without a doubt that the "reward" Shiloh mentioned was some kind of ridiculous prank on her.

But for some reason, the words of refusal stuck in my throat, and I couldn't say them. And deep inside, a kind of expectation rose up... that I absolutely didn't want to admit.

Suppressing her pounding heart, Cecilia pursed her pink lips, hummed indistinctly a few times, and silently extended a finger, releasing a prayer to strengthen her body and mind.

hum-

Under Cecilia's prayer, a thin layer of golden light appeared in Irene's fluorescent blue eyes, and her dazed state caused by the dragon's impact cleared considerably.

"Little Irene, how are you feeling now?"

Xi Luo gently stroked the little girl's face and asked with concern in his eyes.

"Hmm...okay, it seems much better."

Upon hearing Xiluo's question, Irene blushed and shrank back slightly, letting out a soft moan from her delicate throat, her fluorescent blue eyes once again filling with tears.

Although the stimulation still made Irene's heart feel numb and tingly as if it had been lightly brushed by a feather, it was much better than before when she would be completely out of her mind with the slightest exertion.

"Waaah... Master, is Irene really that useless?"

Irene sniffed her delicate nose, her eyes slightly red, and asked in a trembling voice.

At this moment, the little girl's attitude of looking down on her two older sisters also subtly changed.

I initially thought my two older sisters were useless, but now it seems that it's because our master brother is just too amazing...

As Irene felt the fullness and bloating of her stomach, she finally understood what a "battle" between adults was like.

I'm sorry, Cecilia and Elena.

I, I, am such a pathetic nobody!!!

The sudden impact caused Irene to arch her slender waist, her pink tongue half-protruding from her cherry-like mouth, and a sweet voice, suppressed to the extreme, overflowed from her narrow throat.

After trying it out for a while and finding that Irene was indeed more adaptable than before, Xi Luo skillfully began to circulate the "Yin Yang Harmony Scripture" within his body, accelerating the absorption of the pure Yin energy from the girl's body.

Unlike Elena's loud screams when she was hit, the little girl was too weak to even make a sound. She could only let out a continuous low moan and a sound like a drowning person suddenly inhaling a large gulp of air between impacts.

At this moment, Shiloh had closed his eyes, and the physical states of himself and Irene were now fully displayed in his sea of ​​consciousness.

As Irene's yin energy was introduced from the yin meridians, it traveled along the meridians of the already formed nascent body, constantly cleansing the impurities in Xiluo's meridians.

After circling around once, this wisp of yin energy combined with Xiluo's own yang energy, forming a purer energy that was then transmitted into Irene's body.

"Feel this energy carefully, and then follow my guidance."

Shiloh pulled Irene, who was lying face to face, into his arms and whispered in her ear.

In a daze, Irene, her small mouth half-open with drool, nodded blankly, then tried to gather her consciousness and sense the energy flowing from Xiluo's body.

When she came into contact with this energy, Irene felt warm all over and experienced a strange sense of "tranquility".

"First Release by ??0??u.com Reading Club"

This tranquility is not an emotional tranquility, but rather a tranquility like that of someone who has glimpsed a vast universe and is unaware of where they are.

Xi Luo felt the same way, after all, the Yin Yang Harmony Scripture was a proper Taoist dual cultivation method, which talked about using the harmony of Yin and Yang to glimpse the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

However, Xi Luo never expected that this technique, which he had memorized in his previous life, would become so profound after being created by the system based on the energy form of this world.

The world of extraordinary beings is indeed wonderful...

After a sigh, Xi Luo gradually increased the speed of his cultivation.

At this moment, a perfect energy cycle had been formed between Shiloh and Irene, and the extraordinary aura that had disappeared due to the reshaping of the extraordinary circuit reappeared on Shiloh's body.

Considering that Irene was not Elena, Shiloh did not attack her fiercely, but it still made the whiteness in the little girl's eyes grow even more.

"Little Irene, just hang in there a little longer, it'll be over soon."

Xiluo stroked the little girl's hair and whispered in her ear.

The soup from the steamed buns that had spilled out during her cultivation had soaked a large portion of the bedsheet, and a few drops of the splattered soup had even dripped onto Cecilia's skirt, leaving streaks of foam-like marks.

Despite suppressing the urge to unleash Fu Hezhong's ultimate technique, Xi Luo, at the moment when he felt his extraordinary level within him reach the end of the [Dust-Bound Rank], still managed to make his final breakthrough by holding his sister in his arms.

*Pfft!*

As a seasoned gourmet, Xi Luo couldn't bear to see so much broth leaking from the steamed buns, so the kind-hearted man poured large gulps of fresh, steaming hot milk into them...

Glug glug glug...

Despite the soup constantly leaking out during the violent shaking, the freshly baked milk soup dumplings still tasted quite good.

After finishing the meal, Xi Luo hugged the speechless, dazed little girl tightly. The auras of the two of them rose simultaneously, and they both broke through their respective ranks.

Sensing the familiar silver mist rising within his sea of ​​consciousness, a flicker of barely suppressed excitement flashed deep within Xi Luo's slightly closed eyes.

"The Silver Mist Staircase, finally..."

A smile spread across Xi Luo's face as he affectionately kissed the little girl's forehead and said, "Little Irene, thank you for your hard work."

Chapter 80: The Competition Between Females (One chapter owed, will be made up tomorrow or the day after).

Irene trembled slightly. The overwhelming stimulation of breaking through the level left her feeling dizzy and lightheaded, unsure of where she was.

Only when she heard Shiloh whisper in her ear did Irene instinctively nod before falling asleep.

Gurgle...

boo~

With a crisp sound, Xi Luo gently pulled the little girl off his body and placed her on the bed beside him, then thoughtfully covered her with a blanket.

"Phew... she must have had a tough time."

Xi Luo clenched his fist, feeling the power contained within, and couldn't suppress the smile on his face.

Cecilia looked at Shiloh's expression, her expression somewhat complicated.

"So...you've now become the new tyrannical chosen one?"

Hearing Cecilia's slightly nervous question, Shiloh blinked, a mischievous urge to tease her arising within him.

Silo sat up cross-legged, cast an inquiring look at Cecilia, and asked, "If I said yes, how would you feel?"

Upon hearing this, Cecilia's handsome eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she opened her mouth as if trying to muster her strength. However, when she saw Shiloh's ambiguous smile, she deflated like a punctured balloon.

"...I don't think I feel much..."

Cecilia clenched her hands tightly, her face slightly flushed, and uttered this conclusion that made her feel somewhat embarrassed.

For some reason, Cecilia was supposed to carry out a holy judgment against the evil chosen ones of the abyss, but she just couldn't bring herself to do it if that person was Shiloh.

This is not only because of my feelings for him, but more so because of... a kind of trust from a strange source?

From Cecilia's perspective, Shiloh was far too mysterious.

Despite having been by his side these past few days, she had no idea what was happening in the city of Hifiel.

However, it was as if Xiluo had opened his eyes to the heavens; even though he was in Maple Leaf Territory, he was able to keep a firm grasp on everything that was happening there.

As it turned out, all the characters who appeared on the stage of the Water City of Sifir acted according to Shiloh's wishes, which completely convinced Cecilia.

Shiloh, who seems to have seen through all the secrets of heaven, possesses an arrogance that is incomprehensible to ordinary people.

This arrogance can be seen in his attitude towards himself and other women.

Although this guy is a bit of a jerk and a bit of a womanizer, his feelings for them are genuine. If he likes someone, he likes them. If he doesn't like them, even if it fits perfectly into Shiloh's plan, he won't actually do it.

Similarly, because he liked them, Shiloh also paid attention to their preferences.

For example, Elena liked it when his cold exterior was roughly torn off, while she preferred the feeling of being completely dominated... cough cough, I digress.

In short, based on her trust in Shiro's arrogance, Cecilia did not believe that he would disregard her thoughts and become the new tyrannical chosen one.

After briefly explaining her thoughts, Cecilia puffed out her cheeks, then glared at Shiloh resentfully, gritting her teeth as she said, "It's all because of you that I've become so strange, eh~!"
