Fighting to be Kind in a Cultivation World

Chapter 90: Staying Updated

Chapter 90: Staying Updated

As Ai walks over to the other side of the bed, I consider how I should handle this situation.

Lin is hiding under the bed, Ai is going to be worried about the whole situation, and Im definitely not going to be getting any sleep.

Well, if I allow this to continue like this.

With a quick jump, I hop off the bed. Lowering to my knees, I can hear a sharp intake of breath from underneath the bed. Peeking under it, I come face to face with Lin.

Once again, she seems frozen, unsure of what to do.

I speak up.

So, are you just gonna stay under there or come out so we can talk?

Her lower jaw trembles, as she opens her mouth to speak.

S-squeak.

All that comes out is the sound like what a mouse would sound like.

Her face turns even redder.

Cough. Squeeaaaaak.

She doubles down on the clear mistake.

My mouth opens.

Closes.

Opens.

I cant think of anything to respond to that.

Lin and I, laying on the ground, with her pretending to be a mouse to avoid suspicion, ultimately being even more suspicious.

Wow thats really Adorable.

Her mouth widens a bit.

Ah. I said that out loud didnt I.

A peek over the bed shows Ai looking at me with an intensity. Her eyes narrowed.

Ahhhhhh fuck.

Yeahhh, I didnt mean it like that. I mean could you come out from under the bed?

Lins eyes, still wide, shiver. Slowly, she nods.

Backing up, I make space for her to come out. She inches out, but due to the large size of her breasts, she seems to get stuck.

She continues to struggle a bit to get out, which causes me to wonder if I should try to help her out

Uh, do you need any help? Maybe Ai, if you dont want me to help.

She looks up at her, her eyes shaking even more intently. Slowly, she lowers her head to the ground, her forehead touching the stone.

Still looking down, she nods.

I can feel the air quotes in her words. Turning to lean on my side, I cant help but to not answer her question.

Look, just let me lie here for a moment.

Ai lays there quietly, until she suddenly speaks up again.

Adorable, huh?

Ugh. Shes really not going to give me a break, huh?

I turn in the bed to face her, my eyes locking onto hers. I can feel my face scrunch up seriously.

Ai. Can you honestly tell me, that if you saw Lin hiding under a bed, squeaking like a mouse you wouldnt think thats cute?

I can practically hear her swallow. She coughs and breaks first.

Yeah but Im her sister.

I give a sigh.

At this point, I feel the same way.

She blinks at my admission.

Oh. I guess if thats the case, then never mind.

She turns in the other direction.

This will be an interesting future conversation. But Im happy to just let it go through.

The night goes quietly.

I honestly expected her to speak more on this, but she says nothing for the rest of the night. She actually seems more relaxed today, maybe because she has something to think about.

Of course, she still needed to be healed the next day, due to sleep deprivation. And I didnt sleep either.

Fuckin A.

Im really going to have to come up with a solution to this.

Nonetheless, I start the day with my workouts and my awareness.

Since I havent slept since Ai has come in, I likely wont be able to practice the awareness aspect while I sleep.

Actually this might be the best time to practice it. It seems to work best when Im in a semi-alert state. Having an attractive woman that I need to monitor, so she wont do something crazy, will likely help with that.

Ill try to sleep tonight and will see if it will work.

I really hope she doesnt try anything.

Before I continue on to check out the gauntlet Gong has prepared for me, my mind turns to the upcoming sect pickup.

Its coming I likely have a two, maybe three weeks, to get everything together.

Ill have to do what I can within that period.
