I Just Wanted To Live but I Somehow Became Better Than the Protagonist

“The hearth.”

“The hearth is warm, but it’s not soft. Is there something softer?”

“The earthbound wolf you raise has thick fur, warm enough and soft too.”

“But they’re not here, and they’re a bit too big. I want to hold something smaller.”

If it were Qin Shidong, Ye Yong would have already made her sit down, but with Liang Xiaorou, a bit of verbal tugging was necessary.

After all, the two female leads had completely different personalities. Qin Shidong was bold in love and hate, straightforward in her ways. Liang Xiaorou was easily irritable, a proud little loli. It was quite difficult to get a proud one to take the initiative; a bit of tugging, constant hints, would give her enough time to react, to prepare herself mentally, so she wouldn’t overreact later.

“Then how about a spirit fox? Small enough.”

“Too small, really.”

“Why are you so demanding?” Liang Xiaorou feigned a frown, pretending to be displeased. “Just say what you want.”

At that moment, Ye Yong pulled his gaze back from the distance and looked at her.

“What, what are you doing?” Liang Xiaorou didn’t shy away; instead, she straightened her little chest. “I’m telling you, I won’t—”

But before she could finish her sentence, Ye Yong pulled her into his embrace.

“What won’t you do?” Ye Yong gazed at her from a close distance.

“I—I won’t let you hold me for long! Once I’m warm, let go of me quickly!”

—

The little beauty entered his embrace, but Ye Yong didn’t make any impulsive moves. Instead, he gazed at her as if appreciating a precious treasure, making her blush and feel shy.

“What’s with the staring?” Liang Xiaoru’s heart was racing, her face flushing red, and she didn’t dare to meet Ye Yong’s gaze.

Ye Yong didn’t respond, just kept looking at her.

“What do you want, anyway…” Liang Xiaoru’s voice grew softer, her heart filled with anticipation and anxiety. She had always been treated like a child, and although she knew this wasn’t her true form since her spiritual awakening, it was the form she had first met Ye Yong in.

Would he like this type, and would he change his mind later?

Coincidentally, Ye Yong had similar concerns.

After all, Liang Xiaoru’s current form was really captivating, even more so than Wu Xue. Although it was legal, he had to consider how others would view his orientation.

What if it got out, and a bunch of people started sending their young daughters and granddaughters to him? Ye Yong would really be in trouble. Moreover, young girls were prone to blind admiration, and if they saw Ye Yong as a god, anyone who spoke ill of him would be doomed.

“I want to see your true form after your spiritual awakening,” Ye Yong finally decided to take a detour.

“But… it might expose my aura,” Liang Xiaoru said, not overly concerned about which body was better, since they were both hers. If possible, she wanted Ye Yong to see her true self: “And I don’t know if I can awaken it again.”

“Try it,” Ye Yong said, producing a tool and setting up an isolation array. Liang Xiaoru closed her eyes and focused.

Since she had awakened once before, the suppression from her family’s elders had loosened, and she soon found the path. Gradually, Ye Yong could sense a faint, divine aura emanating from Liang Xiaoru’s body. If those selfish cultivators discovered her existence, they would definitely imprison her, as even a weak divine aura was beneficial for the body in the long run.

Liang’s family elders would choose to suppress her divine form rather than announce it to the world, which indeed avoided many risks. However, at the root of it, the Liang family was not strong enough, and if they had a saint sitting in, no one would dare to offend them lightly.

Before long, Liang Xiaoru’s body began to glow and change, and Ye Yong could clearly feel the little beauty in his arms rapidly growing up.

When the light faded, Ye Yong’s first sight was the pair of eyes that shone like stars, as if they had witnessed eternity and gazed into the future. Her facial features hadn’t changed much, but she had transformed into a completely different person, shedding her childishness and revealing a divine beauty that left Ye Yong stunned.

“Don’t, don’t stare at me like that,” Liang Xiaoru’s voice had changed to a mature, seductive tone, carrying a profound, soul-penetrating effect.

Although he had expected the allure of her divine form to be great, he hadn’t thought it would be so overwhelming for a low-level cultivator like himself.

But ultimately, the divine body was a higher level, and Ye Yong snapped back to reality, realizing he needed to make his move now, while she was still unstable in her divine form.

Liang Xiaoru was still tense, expecting Ye Yong to compliment her divine form, but he suddenly leaned in close, and what happened next, Liang Xiaoru couldn’t quite recall, her mind going blank, leaving only a tingling sensation.

Ye Yong had just kissed her, and Liang Xiaoru’s body began to shrink, but everything was within his expectations. This way, he could convince himself that he was kissing the grown-up, and it was just a temporary transformation, unrelated to his orientation.

For Liang Xiaorou, Ye Yong’s hands didn’t move rashly, as it was impossible to stimulate her too much at once, and needed to progress gradually, slowly adapting. Well, actually, there was nothing worth getting excited about; closing her eyes, she couldn’t even tell the difference between her front and back, no, her lower back still had some flesh, soft and elastic.

“Crack.” Suddenly, a sound came from the woods, and Ye Yong initially thought it was a tree branch breaking under the snow, but when he casually looked up, he found a slender figure standing there.

Ye Yong quickly straightened up, sitting upright, and Liang Xiaorou in his arms was still dazed, unaware of what had happened, her face flushed to the roots, her eyes half-closed, gazing at Ye Yong, her breathing light.

“Sorry, I came at a bad time.” The slender figure spoke without any emotional fluctuations, turning to leave.

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Liang Xiaorou also quickly came to, struggling to sit up, looking towards the source of the sound, and aside from Qin Shidiao, who else could it be?

It couldn’t be said that they were caught in the act, but doing such things and getting caught by others would still be somewhat embarrassing, so Liang Xiaorou could only glare at Ye Yong, wondering why he had to choose such an exposed location.

Ye Yong was also very innocent, not using any flying devices, and had walked all the way here, just to avoid being too conspicuous, who would have thought that Qin Shidiao could find them?

In any case, what had already happened couldn’t be changed, and Ye Yong was relieved that Qin Shidiao and Liang Luoli had established a bond of life and death in the Black Water Secret Realm, and had also been ambiguous with them at the same time, so it wasn’t yet at the point of falling out, at most, it was just secretly doing some small actions behind their backs.

Although Ye Yong very much wanted to say to Qin Shidiao, “Hey, we also did some small actions behind Liang Xiaorou’s back a few days ago in the Great Zhou Dynasty,” but people were all hypocrites, and if they hadn’t been discovered, it was nothing, but once discovered, they would feel uncomfortable in their hearts.

Never mind, let’s take the initiative.
