The First Night on the Airship: It Turns Out the Night Was More Lively Than the Day
It was midnight.
The room was dark and gloomy.

The door to the virtual battle pod opened, and Xue Youyou crawled out, stretching lazily on the ground without any regard for her image.
Before she knew it, Xue Youyou had been immersed in ranked training for fifteen hours, which exhausted her.
To be fair, Lu Yutang's mother's dedicated battle pod is indeed quite good, with lower latency than the battle pod in the training room.
The difference between 99.9% stealth and 99.99% stealth.
Although ordinary people cannot perceive this subtle difference, Xue Youyou can clearly feel its profound meaning.
Since she rarely had access to such good equipment, Xue Youyou couldn't help but practice her level for a little longer than usual.
The level of the Yuki-onna from Kamishiro increased from 45 to 46, and the level of the Katsura-hachi also increased from 30 to 31.
"Level up relentlessly, then scare every beast tamer in the world to tears!"
Xue Youyou shouted a slogan, then rolled to the light switch she remembered, reached out and touched it before pressing the button.
Snapped--
As Xueyou turned on the light switch, the room instantly went from pitch black to brightly lit.
After a brief period of light adaptation, the first thing that came into view was a duck sitting on the bed, staring intently at the blue-haired girl.
Xue Youyou was so frightened that she jumped.
"ha?!"
One sat on the bed, the other lay on the floor, and the two beautiful girls stared at each other for a few seconds.
Xue Youyou looked embarrassed and asked, "Qingbao, when did you arrive?"
Meng Yanqing blinked and replied, "I forgot, I was so scared I cried."
"Cough cough..."
Xue Youyou coughed to cover her embarrassment, then got up from the ground and asked, "What's wrong with you so late at night?"
Meng Yanqing looked out at the dark night sky, a fearful expression on her face, and replied, "I'm a little afraid of the dark. Can you sleep with me tonight?"
Xue Youyou instantly saw through her: "Your excuse is too lame..."
"Oh, since that's the case, then I won't pretend anymore. I'm here to collect debts!" Meng Yanqing's lips curled up slightly, revealing her cute little tiger teeth.
Their wolfish ambitions are fully revealed.
Soon, the two were wrestling on the ground.
Just as Meng Yanqing was about to begin her next move, Xue Youyou urgently stopped her: "Wait...wait a minute, I have something good here, take a look first."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xue Youyou pulled a receipt out of her pocket.
Sitting on Xue Youyou's waist, Meng Yanqing took it and glanced at it, asking in confusion, "What is this thing?"
"Earl Grey tea is 250 per cup, iced tea is 50 per cup, totaling 300?"
Xue Youyou immediately reminded her, "It's upside down, it's upside down, look at the back."
Upon hearing this, Meng Yanqing flipped the receipt over to the back, where she saw the familiar, delicate handwriting.
"What?!"
Meng Yanqing's face flushed red instantly, her large, round eyes staring incredulously at what was written on it—
[Your unworthy granddaughter Meng Yanqing is forbidden from pursuing the debt from Xue Youyou any further, and from now on must obediently listen to Xue Youyou, and regard Xue Youyou as if she were me—Meng Tianxiang]
While enjoying Meng Yanqing's amusing expression, Xue Youyou said smugly, "The imperial edict has arrived, read it quickly~"
Meng Yanqing crumpled the document into a ball, pointed at Xue Youyou, and stammered, "Where...where did you get this?"
Xue Youyou replied leisurely, "It was written to me by your grandmother stroke by stroke the night after we finished beating Leiming Courtyard. You can call her and ask if you don't believe me."
Meng Yanqing immediately denied it, saying, "Impossible! You must have used some kind of trick to forge this. I won't admit it!"
After saying that, Meng Yanqing destroyed the written agreement in front of Xue Youyou to cover up the evidence.
"That's just self-deception, a childish act that's completely useless."
Xue Youyou calmly and slowly said, "In short, this is a fait accompli. Your grandmother's words are law, and I now write off all the debts I owe you."
"and--"
"That's impossible..."
"You'll have to listen to me from now on."
Xue Youyou looked at Meng Yanqing with a mischievous grin.
Finally, under the "innocent" gaze of Xue Youyou's icy eyes, which were even cleaner than her face, Meng Yanqing gave in, her voice softening as she asked gently, "Does Lady Xue Youyou have any orders?"
Xue Youyou's lips curled up and she smiled, "I've been sitting in the virtual reality pod all day, I'm so bored, Qingbao, give me a scrub."
Upon hearing this, Meng Yanqing beamed with joy and clapped her hands, saying, "Yes, ma'am!"
After a shower.
The two of them came out of the bathroom wearing bathrobes, their faces flushed.
Meng Yanqing took Xue Youyou's hand and sat down on the edge of the bed with her, saying softly, "Youyou, I'd like to come over tomorrow night too."
Xue Youyou nodded: "Mm."
"The night after tomorrow too."
"it is good."
As the atmosphere in the room heated up, both of them couldn't help but feel a little hot.
However, at that moment—
"Knock knock knock!"
The sudden three knocks on the door snapped them back to reality from their wandering thoughts.
Meng Yanqing's expression froze.
It's so late at night, what night owl would be visiting instead of sleeping?
The key issue is that both of them are simply wearing bathrobes, with large areas of their skin exposed. If people see them, it's inevitable that some inappropriate thoughts will arise.
With the main competition just around the corner, it would be bad for this to get out.
Meng Yanqing looked at Xue Youyou with a questioning gaze.
Xue Youyou also looked puzzled and shook her head, indicating that she didn't know who it was either.
Under Xue Youyou's watchful gaze, Meng Yanqing hurriedly gathered her clothes, throwing them, along with her slippers, under the bed before crawling in herself.
Xue Youyou tilted her head, not quite understanding Meng Yanqing's behavior.
In her view, being seen is being seen, so it doesn't matter.
However, since Meng Yanqing didn't want anyone to know, Xue Youyou was happy to help her hide it.
"Wait a mininute."
Xue called out to the door, then carefully wiped Meng Yanqing's footprints clean before opening the door.
Upon recognizing the person, Xue Youyou was taken aback: "Lu Yutang?"
Unexpectedly, the person knocking on her door late at night was Miss Yutang, who was wearing her pajamas.
Seeing Xue Youyou wearing a bathrobe and with her hair still a little wet, Lu Yutang thought to herself, "No wonder she's been waiting outside for so long; she just finished showering." She smiled slightly and asked, "Are you comfortable using the bathroom?"
Xue Youyou smiled politely and nodded, saying, "Thank you. The bathroom and the battle cabin are both very nice."
Although Miss Yutang was her teammate, she didn't actually know much about her. She only knew that she was the daughter of the city lord of Lanzhi City, had a straightforward personality, and was a purebred divine beast addict.
Xue Youyou really couldn't guess the purpose of the other party's visit late at night.
Lu Yutang said, "I have something I'd like to talk to you about, Captain. I hope you don't mind if I bother you tonight."
Xue Youyou shook her head and smiled, "I'd be happy to."
After saying that, Xue Youyou stepped aside to make way for Lu Yutang to come in.
Lu Yutang walked into the house, and just as she habitually wanted to change into a pair of slippers, she discovered that her usual pair was missing. She exclaimed in surprise, "Huh, where are my blue slippers?"
