Chapter 522: Keeping a Mistress in a Golden House
The young Luo Jianhua had no idea where Ye Ge had taken her.
During the flight, she couldn't see any of the scenery along the way.
With a shift in the world, night seemed to turn into day.
When she regained her senses, she realized she had arrived in an unfamiliar place.
It felt as if a day had passed without her noticing.
Ye Ge set the girl down on the ground and walked toward the residence without saying a word, not giving any instructions.
Luo Jianhua asked no questions and followed behind like a puppet.
After leading her into the residence, Ye Ge left only one sentence.
"Stay here. Do not leave without my permission."
As soon as the words fell, before Luo Jianhua could respond, the black-haired woman vanished instantly.
"Ah..."
Luo Jianhua started to speak but stopped, eventually falling into silence.
She looked around and soon noticed a motionless white fluff-ball on the living room sofa.
To be honest, it was a bit eerie.
Luo Jianhua stood at the door without moving, not knowing what she should do.
After all, she had always followed the various training requirements of her mentors and instructors.
Since being captured, the expected torture and sacrifice hadn't come.
That older sister seemed to have just thrown her here and ignored her.
What was she supposed to do next?
She had no communication equipment and had received no further orders.
In the end, she could only stand there in a daze.
Then, Luo Jianhua thought she saw the figure on the sofa wiggle slightly.
As the figure sat up, she realized it was a cute little girl.
Why was there a harmless-looking girl here?
What was her relationship with the older sister from just now?
Doubts began to surface in Luo Jianhua's mind.
"You're finally here."
Ye Yao looked at the girl standing at the door, her lips curling into a satisfied smile.
The moment she saw the White-haired Girl's face, Luo Jianhua admitted she was a bit dazed.
Because they looked so much alike.
Like biological sisters.
Aside from looking a bit more youthful and having a different temperament and certain details, she was essentially a miniature version of Ye Ge!
What exactly was her relationship with that older sister?
While Luo Jianhua was still dazed, Ye Yao hopped down from the sofa and skipped over to her, looking very happy.
"Let me take a good look at you~"
The girl's voice reached her ears.
Luo Jianhua snapped back to reality. While Ye Yao was observing her, she was also observing the White-haired Girl before her.
To be honest, she had an air of being untouched by the world.
She radiated an incredible affinity that made people unconsciously want to protect her.
This wasn't any supernatural influence, but a natural advantage brought by her appearance and temperament.
Could she be... Ye Ge's younger sister?
Meanwhile, in the original space-time.
The split body Ye Yao was observing the loli-form Luo Jianhua.
"Little Luo, you're so pretty when you grow up. Long hair has a different kind of charm."
"Really? If Sister likes it, I can grow it out."
Luo Jianhua didn't realize Ye Yao's statement was just an observation; she thought it was an expectation.
The split body Ye Yao blinked.
"You don't have to care so much about my feelings, you know."
"Ah, I want to grow it out myself too. Since everyone else has long hair, I want to try that feeling. I think it'll be cuter."
Luo Jianhua felt a bit embarrassed.
Which girl doesn't want to become cuter?
It was worth trying a different style; after all, it wouldn't hurt.
It could make both herself and others happy.
"Mm-hmm, that's a very healthy way of thinking. I like it."
But for the Luo Jianhua who had been raised poorly in the other timeline...
Her thoughts didn't seem quite so healthy.
I must leave my mark on her first!
Inside the residence.
Ye Yao didn't hide her intentions at all.
"My name is Ye Yao. Call me Sister."
Luo Jianhua: "?"
Although she considered herself potentially abnormal, she still had some common sense.
This white fluff-ball was clearly smaller than her and seemed much younger.
Shouldn't it be the other way around?
However, Luo Jianhua was incredibly submissive.
Since she had been brought to this mysterious place by Ye Ge, she no longer belonged to any faction and could only comply with this little one who seemed close to Ye Ge.
"Sister Ye Yao."
Ye Yao tilted her head, not hearing the key phrase.
"Wrong. Drop the name."
"...Sister."
【Successful recognition of kin. Reward: 5 Attribute Points】
As expected, the system's judgment wasn't that strict.
She successfully harvested a tiny reward.
But that was fine; this was just the beginning.
The most important thing was winning over this alternate Luo Jianhua.
From now on, this girl was hers, and the Countermeasure Bureau couldn't take her back.
"Little Luo, let's chat. You can ask anything you want."
Ye Yao pulled Luo Jianhua onto the sofa and prepared to begin her correction work.
Those damn old power-gamers had messed up the character build with their reckless training, almost ruining the account.
If she got the chance, she should give them a few more beatings.
No, they should be exiled to the frontier to plant potatoes!
Just a few beatings was too good for them.
"Here, you can drop all your disguises. You don't need to care about anyone's thoughts. Your identity has changed from the genius of the Countermeasure Bureau to my younger sister. Say whatever you want."
Ye Yao looked full of confidence, as if giving a solid guarantee.
Luo Jianhua didn't speak; clearly, it wasn't that easy to find her true self.
But could this possibly stump Ye Yao?
She was here for a speedrun! The strategy for conquering the heart had to be fast, accurate, and ruthless!
Only by using heavy-hitting truths could she wash away the expectations forced upon her by those old geezers.
Luo Jianhua didn't need to become a second Lou Wei; she only needed to be Ye Yao's sister!
"The person who brought you here is named Ye Ge. You want to know my relationship with Ye Ge, right?"
Luo Jianhua's body stiffened.
Ye Yao had obviously guessed correctly.
Actually, there was no need to guess.
【Luo Jianhua wants to know your relationship with Ye Ge】
It seemed that even though she had become somewhat emotionless and had a strong 'adult' vibe, at her core, she was still a young girl.
Without enough life experience, one simply cannot become an adult, no matter if they age decades.
Let alone Luo Jianhua, who had been training at the headquarters year-round.
Reclaiming her girlish heart wouldn't be that difficult.
She just had to expose all her disguises.
Just like when Ye Yao faced the newly arrived Luo Jianhua back then.
Lay all the cards on the table!
In any case, Luo Jianhua couldn't get out for the time being.
Ye Yao had brought out Lao Jiang's World Within the Painting specifically to 'hide a beauty in a golden house'!
As long as she hid Luo Jianhua here, there was no way the Countermeasure Bureau could find her.
Even if she knew a lot, she couldn't leak it.
However, Ye Yao didn't plan to be that direct, nor did she plan to tell her everything.
After all, parallel timelines were parallel timelines; talking about things she hadn't experienced was useless.
"Let me tell you a story. It happened in a reasonably beautiful world.
One day, an official organization discovered a girl who could destroy the world. Let's call her Xiao Yao.
So, that official organization sent members to form a family and adopt Xiao Yao from an Orphanage.
To achieve their goal, those adults arranged a sister of the same age for Xiao Yao. Let's call her Little Luo..."
Hearing this, Luo Jianhua's eyes flickered. Clearly, she was listening intently and wanted to know what happened next.
Ye Yao smiled triumphantly.
Unbeknownst to them, Ye Ge quietly left the Scroll and reappeared on the rooftop of the residential building where Mo Qiuli was.
"Next... it's time to find the Sequence Zero of this timeline."
