6: Chapter 6 The First Night

Inside the thatched hut with no lighting equipment, moonlight was the only source of light.

It illuminated the silhouettes of the girls lying sprawled out.

In the fifty-square-meter space, everyone lay down with some distance between them, yet none could fall asleep immediately.

It was clear that everyone hadn't fully adapted to the dark nights without mobile phones.

It soon quieted down.

"It's been 30 minutes already, why is there still no movement from Qi Bao's side?"

A girl whispered to the girl beside her, her tone filled with intense excitement and curiosity.

"Ah? What... what are you looking forward to?"

The girl beside her retorted stubbornly, though her body unconsciously turned to lie on its side, facing the corner where Qi Yun and Shu Qianxue were.

"Cut it out! If you aren't looking forward to it, why are you deliberately sleeping facing that way?"

The first girl ruthlessly exposed her.

"I... I'm just..."

The exposed girl choked on her words, then gave up trying to hide it, a suppressed "hehe" chuckle coming from her in the darkness.

"What do you know! This is simply... an immersive live experience! Besides, I inexplicably feel the excitement of an 'incompetent husband'... ah no, an incompetent wife eavesdropping outside the door!"

"And this is a chance to watch adult content live, how could I miss it."

Many girls in the room were deliberately keeping quiet at this moment, or whispering in extremely low voices.

A girl suddenly realized something and said to the girl beside her.

"It's too eerily quiet, Shu Qianxue will get suspicious."

A few seconds later, the sound of snoring rang out among the crowd.

Immediately after, more and more snoring sounds began.

Bai Yu lay quietly on her bedding not far from Shu Qianxue, regretfully abandoning her observation plan; the light was simply insufficient to support data collection.

She instead focused all her hearing, attempting to parse information from the sound waves.

As the snoring grew more frequent, Shu Qianxue's guard completely relaxed.

She sat up silently and gently moved aside the large leaves covering her body.

The cool air touched her skin, stirring a shiver.

She took a deep breath, and with a nimble roll, pinned Qi Yun beneath her, their eyes meeting in the dim light.

She lowered her head, her voice hushed to the extreme, yet carrying a desperate, trembling determination.

"Qi Bao, I want you to remember, it was this lady who took you."

Qi Yun could see the blush on Shu Qianxue's cheeks by the moonlight.

That body, which countless boys privately yearned for and was hailed as a "succubus"-like physique, was now within reach, its curves breathtaking.

The fresh scent of the young girl mixed with a hint of sweat lingered at the tip of his nose, and Shu Qianxue's breathing became warm and rapid.

"Xiao Xue, when did you start liking me?"

Qi Yun was not in a hurry; instead, he wanted to tease the Shu Qianxue before him.

"Wuu..."

Shu Qianxue shuddered as if electrocuted, her face instantly turning beet red, as if it could drip blood.

She abruptly turned her face away, unwilling to let him see her expression, which was about to burn up.

But there was no need to hide it anymore, after all, they were already baring it all to each other.

"...Pr-probably from the day I started calling you 'brother'."

Her voice was muffled, carrying a nasality born of extreme shyness.

"Because once we became brothers, I could... openly take advantage of you, and no one would gossip about me touching you."

Qi Yun almost laughed out loud.

This reason was truly like Shu Qianxue.

He deliberately drew out his tone, asking with a smile:

"Oh? Then... my good brother, how do you plan to 'take' me?"

Qi Yun's smiling eyes watched her in the faint light, waiting for her "plan".

Shu Qianxue froze instantly.

She had just been hot-headed and talking big! Did she really have to dictate the steps on the spot?

The darkness concealed her shame and anger, and also gave her the courage to go all in.

Shu Qianxue leaned down abruptly, avoiding looking into Qi Yun's smiling eyes.

Using a breathy voice squeezed out from between her teeth, both shy and annoyed, she said fiercely:

"...U-using your mouth to ask so much! Shut up... don't laugh! If you laugh again I'll... I'll bite you!"

A threat with zero intimidation factor, intended to stop him from asking any more questions that would make her explode on the spot.

Shu Qianxue clumsily took a bite of Qi Yun's shoulder, neither too hard nor too soft.

"Hiss." Qi Yun was caught off guard and gently sucked in a breath of cold air.

"It's my first time, be gentle."

These were Shu Qianxue's last words, after which Qi Yun began to feel that softness.

Inside the thatched hut, at least half of the "snoring" suddenly disappeared; the girls were all trying in various ways not to make a sound, some girls trying their best to keep their breathing from becoming rapid.

The moonlight was faint, the long night stretched on.

An intense battle was underway.

...

The morning sunlight shone through the window onto Qi Yun's eyes.

Qi Yun slowly opened his eyes, the memory of that "in-depth exchange between brothers" from last night still fresh.

The amount of exercise was truly significant; if not for someone begging for mercy with a tearful voice later, it probably would have lasted even longer.

Turning his head to look, Shu Qianxue was like a koala, her limbs tightly wrapped around him, sleeping soundly.

A satisfied blush on her face, her long eyelashes fluttering gently with her breathing, a faint, smug smile hanging on the corners of her mouth.

Thinking of some of her bold yet inexperienced actions last night, Qi Yun couldn't help but chuckle.

This girl, she really did have a crazy side to her.

Qi Yun gently stroked Shu Qianxue's fair, tender face with his hand, and left a soft kiss on her lips.

"Mmm..." Shu Qianxue groaned unconsciously and hugged him even tighter.

Realizing that the succubus's body was currently releasing its charm.

Qi Yun hurriedly and carefully extracted his body from Shu Qianxue's soft embrace.

This was not something that could be done in the morning.

Just as he was preparing to get up, the familiar robotic female voice sounded again.

【System Prompt: clan leaders blessing effect has been triggered!】

【Random reward being distributed...】

【Congratulations! Obtained: Lucky Big Wheel! (Permanent)】

【B. Destroyer (Rare): Weapons? Those are for the weak. Physical attributes significantly enhanced; my fist can collapse mountains, my foot can crack the earth.】

Daily lucky draw! Permanent item!

Qi Yun felt a surge of joy. This was simply a continuous supply source that was a timely godsend!

Every day there was a chance to obtain extra resources or surprises, which could greatly alleviate the survival pressure of the Tribe in its early stages.

Freeing up limited manpower from basic collection work to invest in more critical exploration and construction.

Who wouldn't like a little expectation every day?

As for the job change choice, he would wait for Shu Qianxue to wake up and let her choose.

Life Priest is a top-tier healer, which can greatly guarantee the team's sustainability;

The Destroyer is a humanoid tyrannosaurus, capable of providing terrifying frontal combat power.

No matter which one is chosen, it is a qualitative improvement for the Tribe.

He stood up gently, his gaze sweeping across the room.

In the morning light, the girls were sleeping together in disarray, with no image to speak of.

Yet it formed a vivid and alluring scene of beauties sleeping soundly.

The leaves couldn't conceal their youthful curves; fair skin dazzled in the light, with heart-accelerating scenery everywhere.

Suddenly, a figure lying on her side firmly attracted his gaze.

Suddenly, a body entered Qi Yun's pupils.

Campus Belle Ye Xi was lying on her side, her silk-like black hair scattered on her cheek, making her skin appear whiter than snow.

The corners of her mouth were slightly raised, as if immersed in a beautiful dream.

Although her figure was slightly less exaggerated than Shu Qianxue's, it was still exquisite and well-proportioned, with perfect proportions.

Being named one of the two Campus Belles, her appearance and temperament were naturally impeccable.

Qi Yun's impression of her was so deep mainly because of an incident that happened shortly after school started.

At that time, Ye Xi had said to him in a cold and distant tone in front of many classmates:

"Qi Yun, I hate you. Please don't approach me casually in the future."

Qi Yun was not someone who would ask for trouble; since then, both sides had deliberately kept a distance.

Although they were in the same class, they almost had no further interaction.

Just as Qi Yun was reminiscing.

Ye Xi's eyelashes fluttered gently like butterfly wings a few times, then she lazily climbed up, the morning light plating her with a soft golden edge.

The scene was as beautiful as an oil painting.

Her gaze gradually focused, landing on Qi Yun's face.

Immediately after, a scene that left Qi Yun dumbfounded occurred.

He saw this Campus Belle, who had always been cold as ice to him, unexpectedly and naturally, even with a hint of a coquettish nasal tone, open her arms towards his direction:

"Qi Bao, hug me \(￣︶￣*\))."

?!!

Qi Yun instantly petrified, thinking he was having hallucinations.

Campus Belle Ye? Calling me... Qi Bao? And, and wants a hug?

Did I not wake up, or did she not wake up? Is that person who said she hated me and told me to stay away really her?

What's going on, doesn't Campus Belle Ye hate me? Did I hear wrong?

Seeing Qi Yun unmoved, Ye Xi repeated in a gentle tone.

"Qi Bao, pick me up~."

Just as Qi Yun's brain crashed, not knowing how to react.

A girl beside Ye Xi rolled over, her arm accidentally touching her.

This slight touch was like cold water splashed on her face, instantly waking Ye Xi completely from her half-dreaming, half-waking state!

Ye Xi's expression instantly changed to a standard smile, and she said indifferently: "Sorry, Qi Yun, I was just muddled from sleep, don't take it seriously."

Qi Yun watched her instantly switched expression and tone, a hint of strangeness flashing through his heart.

But on the surface, he just nodded and didn't say anything.

He turned to find a suitable place to place the "Lucky Big Wheel".

The moment Qi Yun turned around, Ye Xi's expression was filled with loss.

It's over! Ye Xi, you idiot! Idiot, idiot, idiot!

Carefully maintained for so long! How could I reveal a flaw at such a time!

His eyes just now... was it surprise, or did he think I was frivolous and ridiculous?

If I hadn't said that extra sentence just now, would Qi Yun have picked me up?

Immediately after, Ye Xi shook her head.

Ye Xi, stop letting your imagination run wild.

Thinking of the "don't make a move on Qi Yun" pact that she had initiated herself and bound everyone with, her heart felt as if it were being tightly gripped by an invisible hand.

At the beginning, it was just fear that her eyes looking at him would reveal too much, fear of being unable to bear the embarrassment of potential rejection, and even more fear of the jealousy that would burn her to ashes when seeing him close to others.

Therefore, Ye Xi used the excuse of "maintaining the pure friendship of the class" to rope in all the sisters who might become "rivals".

She liked Qi Yun, but was afraid of being rejected by Qi Yun, even though she was the most popular Campus Belle in school.

Compared to potentially being rejected or hated, she chose never to reveal that answer.

Liking him made her become self-deprecating, become cautious; this was Ye Xi.
