In the living room.
Since the news about God’s Path update had spread to every corner of the world, even Lin Shurou, who had just turned on her phone after cleaning up the table, immediately saw the news.
“God’s Path has been updated!?” She asked Ling Yi with widened eyes.
“Yeah. There are new attributes and combat power boost, and Summoning Cards for players.”
Lin Shurou quickly opened her laptop on the table and clicked into the forum to read it in detail.
When she’s done, she lets out a long sigh. “Ah… Another chaos might happen again… It’s just like 20 years ago when God’s Path first appeared. All kinds of powerful monsters jumped out to the main world.”
“It’s better not to go out for the time being.”
With that, she sighed again, and a complicated expression appeared on her delicate face.
Ling Yi turned to look at her. He was about to say something when he suddenly felt an extremely strong power surge from his heart.
That power flowed through his entire body and into every cell, speeding up his blood flow and making his heart beat faster. He could even hear the sound of his heart beating even from a few meters away.
Lin Shurou looked over and a worried expression quickly took over. She ran over and said in a panic, “What’s wrong? Why is your skin red?”
Ling Yi’s mind was in a daze and he felt a strong sense of dizziness. He lost his balance and fell into Lin Shurou’s arms.
This was a sign that-huge amount of power had suddenly entered their bodies. Players all over the world were experiencing the same situation. The higher the level, the greater the reaction.
God’s Path has been officially updated!
A few minutes later, Ling Yi slowly woke up on Lin Shurou’s lap.
When he opened his eyes, he was assaulted by the sight of a snow-white, smooth hand affectionately stroking his cheek, as if caressing its lover. The delicate palm faintly exuded a gentle and loving emotion.
His eyes slowly moved to her blue and watery eyes, trying very hard not to focus on the pair of objects that he shall not name.
“You’re awake?” She asked gently. Her eyes were as calm as water as if they could nourish all things.
“You… Isn’t that just nonsense?” Ling Yi reached out to rub his temples, but Lin Shurou’s fair fingers took the initiative to do so.
It was so comfortable that he couldn’t help but want to continue lying down.
“Mhm.” Lin Shurou hummed a cute sound.
Ling Yi closed his eyes and slowly regained his energy under her massage.
After a while, he opened his eyes and got up, sitting beside her again.
“Here, drink some water.”
She handed him a glass of warm water.
Ling Yi took it and drank it all in one go.
Creak.
Suddenly the softly creaking door sound from upstairs broke the silence between them.
Ling Yi and Lin Shurou looked over and saw the woman named Yunji walking down.
Lin Shurou’s face turned red as she exclaimed, “Why aren’t you wearing any clothes?! Where are your clothes?”
She quickly turned her head to look at Ling Yi, who was silently turning his head away.
“Clothes?” A cold and clear voice replied. The woman standing by the railing looked down at her flawless body and said indifferently, “It’s broken…”
Then, she turned around and walked down the stairs.
Seeing this, Lin Shurou quickly ran over and pushed her up the stairs, “No, no, no, no!” She shouted, “There’s a man downstairs. Can’t you be more considerate?”
“What?” Yunji finally reacted. She looked at the woman in front of her and the man below in surprise, “You two can see my body?”
“Of course we can see you! You’re not invisible! Hurry up and go in.” Lin Shurou hurriedly pushed the woman back into her room.
Ling Yi was left dumbfounded.
“Oh, right.”
He suddenly understood, ‘She probably thought that God’s Path’s protective effects were still active. That’s why she didn’t hesitate to walk out without any clothes one.‘
When he thought of this, Ling Yi’s face became a little burdened.
How was he going to explain this phenomenon to this woman when she came out later?
God’s Path’s power became ineffective once they entered his and Lin Shurou’s house? If this kind of fantasy was known by outsiders or even the world, it would be very troublesome.
‘I’ll temporarily remove part of the suppression on her and try not to let her notice any more abnormalities.’
At this point, Ling Yi adjusted the [House Protection Talisman]’s effects to remove some of the restrictions on her.
Other than not being able to display her Skills, everything else was basically turned back to normal.
After some time, when the door was opened again, Lin Shurou guided a now clothed Yunji, whose clothes are several sizes smaller, down the stairs.
“There’s no other way, she’s too… She’s too tall, even my biggest clothes do not fit her fully.” Lin Shurou said as she gestured to Yunji’s clothes with a helpless shake to her head. She made her way to sit beside Ling Yi.
Yunji, who was standing not far away, watched the scene.
The corners of her mouth curled up, and she walked up to the two of them with light steps. She bowed to them and thanked them. “Thank you for saving me.”
She had an exquisite golden bell earring on her right ear, which would chime every time she walked.
“No need to thank us,” The two of them politely waved their hands.
After Yunji got up, she stared at Ling Yi.
Her jet-black hair still covered the left side of her face. She smiled slightly, and her golden right eye seemed to contain a magical power that made it difficult for people to look away.
The light red tint in her eyes added a bit of seduction to her, and her thin red lips that curled up on both sides revealed her happy mood.
“I don’t have anything to repay you with now. The things in my rucksack were all stolen by thieves,” she said, maintaining her smile.
Her tone was light and indifferent as if she was talking about something that had nothing to do with her.
“All that’s left of my body is…” As she spoke, she looked at her wrist.
She was also wearing a royal blue crystal bracelet, which was the only valuable thing on her body.
She took off the bracelet and handed it to Lin Shurou. “I’ll give you this bracelet.”
“Ah? This… I can’t take this! I didn’t do anything. It’s embarrassing for me to accept a treasure from you. Besides, I’m not a player.” Lin Shurou shook her head and waved her hand, refusing the gift.
Yunji didn’t insist, but put the bracelet back on, “Then I’ll give you a present in the future.”
Then, she looked at Ling Yi and stretched out her hand in the air. Just like that, she pulled out a card from thin air.
She stuffed the card into the latter’s hand and smiled. “My Summoning Card… Here you go.”
“Uh…” Ling Yi was still a little confused.
‘Isn’t this woman a little too familiar? We haven’t even introduced ourselves and she just gave out Summoning Cards?‘
However, what surprised him even more was that after stuffing the card in, the woman leaned over to whisper in his ear, “You can use it in the dead of the night~”

Her warm breath landed on Ling Yi’s neck and for some reason, he could feel the slight tremble in her voice.
“Huh?” Ling Yi’s eyes widened. He was shocked by this woman’s actions.
Seeing his reactions, Yunji smiled and gently took a few steps back. She waved at the two and said,”Then I won’t disturb the two of you any longer. I’ll take my leave first.”
“Ah, I’ll send you out!” Lin Shurou walked her to the courtyard.
Ling Yi, on the other hand, stayed in the house and picked up her Player Summoning Card.
