Chen Jingyi took out everything she needed and incidentally brought some food for Rao Linger, so she wouldn't look at Rao Linger like she was a pitiful homeless girl.

"If only it were as simple as you say. I've liked him longer than you have, and pursued him for so long, yet he just doesn't like me and even humiliates me. Does he think just being pretty will make him like me?"

If being pretty was enough to be liked, Rao Linger wouldn't be troubled up till now.

"Isn't Tang Rao just the kind of guy who sees a woman and wants to sleep with her, wants to have a relationship but doesn't want to take responsibility?"

This was Chen Jingyi's assessment of Tang Rao. It's somewhat biased, but there's truth in it.

"It's not as bad as you say. I think he's still a decent person."

Rao Linger has been cursing Tang Rao every day she's lived here, and once she's done, she finds herself missing him even more.

"Regardless of how much you love Tang Rao, I just want to ask you, as a young woman living alone in a house where someone died, aren't you at all afraid?"

Chen Jingyi was deeply concerned about the death in the courtyard. She couldn't stand being wronged, but now she had to endure it for a while.

"Are you talking about Qin Qing and her maid? They deserved to die; who told them to have ill intentions and harm Tang Rao."

Rao Linger knew everything. Do you think she chose to live here willingly? She just thought it was the safest choice, nothing more.

If there were a better option, she wouldn't be staying here, either.

"Oh, so the previous owner was named Qin Qing."

Chen Jingyi opened her Heavenly Eye, and everything about the previous owner came vividly to life.

Yes, Chen Jingyi indeed had that ability. As long as she wanted to see, after knowing a person's name, everything about that person before they died appeared before her eyes.

"Serves them right to die."

People say to respect the dead, but Chen Jingyi still had to criticize them.

Qin Qing really went too far; Tang Rao treated her so well, yet she dared to collude with outsiders and do such detestable things. Tang Rao was already very kind to her. If it were Chen Jingyi, she wouldn't have let Qin Qing die at her hands; otherwise, Chen Jingyi's anger and hatred would never disappear in her lifetime.

"You think she deserved to die too? I agree. Though I don't know much, the bits and pieces I've heard make it clear I can't accept family harming family."

After exchanging a few words with Chen Jingyi, Rao Linger suddenly felt like she'd met a kindred spirit too late.

"I don't even know your name yet. I'm Rao Linger, from Central Island."

Rao Linger extended her friendliness, which wasn't something just anyone could receive.

"Chen Jingyi, from East Island."

Chen Jingyi found Rao Linger's name unfamiliar. Being from Central Island too, if there were no reincarnation, she should be much older than Rao Linger. It's normal not to know her.

Chen Jingyi didn't introduce herself as being from Central Island because currently, she was the daughter of the East Island Master and belonged to East Island. She couldn't make a slip of the tongue in excitement and get herself into trouble.

"I'll call you Sister Jing Yi from now on then. Sister Jing Yi, I have no place to stay, and since you're living here alone, would you let me keep you company?"

Rao Linger had laid out so much groundwork, just waiting to say this sentence.

"Don't worry, I only need a place to sleep and won't bother you at all."

Rao Linger promised repeatedly, and Chen Jingyi couldn't bear it any longer, finally agreeing.

"You're the one who lived here first anyway, these houses are plenty. You can live wherever you want, I have no objections."

Chen Jingyi was too easygoing, and once Rao Linger achieved her goal, she almost gave Chen Jingyi a big kiss.

"You're so nice, I practically want to give you a big kiss, Sister Jing Yi, you're such a good person."

The courtyard had many houses; whether she was a good person or not didn't matter. If anyone was to be thanked, it should be Rao Linger herself for her courage. By letting Rao Linger stay, Chen Jingyi thought of it as having someone to talk to during lonely times.

"After a busy day, I'll sleep first. Take care of yourself."

Chen Jingyi did a small favor and was already tired. If she responded to Rao Linger, and Rao Linger wouldn't stop talking, she'd be finished.

Chen Jingyi worried she might not sleep at night; the things Tang Rao worried about were indeed quite different.

He worried about Li Shengxuan closing the door and ignoring him.

"Darling Shengxuan, my little Shengxuan cutie, let's talk this out. Is there any need to give yourself the silent treatment?"

Tang Rao tried to reason with Li Shengxuan sweetly, his words wasted outside while Li Shengxuan didn't open the door to listen to him.

Being with Tang Rao, no matter if the women he brought back were beautiful or even more beautiful, Shengxuan didn't complain a word, treating them as her good sisters. However, there's a limit to the number of good sisters, and it's not like you can keep sending them to Li Shengxuan without end. Li Shengxuan might accept sharing her lover with some sisters, but not with a whole group of women.

This whole group is just a probability number, an unacceptable probability number to Li Shengxuan.

Tang Rao knocked on the door outside and yelled, but without Tang Xiaobai at home, she couldn't send anyone out to drive Tang Rao away.

The courtyard had three working maids, but they only followed their master's instructions. If Tang Rao ordered them to do something tricky, Li Shengxuan's head would surely hurt.

"Shengxuan, there's been a misunderstanding. Let me explain, okay? You're the most understanding person here, why are you jealous?"

Tang Rao shouted with no regard for his image outside. The patrols laughed batch after batch at his expense, making Tang Rao embarrassed to the point of covering his face while calling inside.

"Shengxuan, look, it's dark outside now. Could you give me some face, let me come in to apologize? It's cold outside, I'm freezing."

It's cold in the Divine Realm at night. Even if Tang Rao wore more layers, the wind managed to sneak inside his clothing.

"Stay out there, if it's cold, you can go back to where you live."

He'd been talking outside for a hundred sentences when finally a response came from inside, not a pleasant one.

"Shengxuan, I've said so many nice things, even if you had a heart of stone, you shouldn't treat me like this."
