Chapter 925: Husky Attribute
“Let’s wait and see,” Pei Ze said.
Regardless of whether Lin Yan was a demoness or had ulterior motives, he had to investigate thoroughly.
Actually, Pei Ze didn’t care about what would happen to the Holy Land or the world. However, he had to protect Pei Yucheng. If Lin Yan was really the demoness, he couldn’t let anything happen to him.
Of course, this was provided that he didn’t offend the demoness’ faction. Otherwise, he would be condemned to eternal damnation.
“Second Master, do you want to talk to Pei Yucheng? If Miss Lin is a demoness and he doesn’t know about it, there might be trouble,” the young man said with a frown.
Pei Ze shook his head. “There’s no need to make this public. I’ll just wait and then approach him.”
Pei Ze could tell that Pei Yucheng had feelings for Lin Yan. If he told Pei Yucheng the truth, it would backfire. Pei Yucheng wouldn’t believe him and would even think that he was helping Tang Rong.
“Cousin, you must take care of yourself,” he murmured. “In the end, the only person who can compete with me for the Pei Family’s inheritance… is you.”
…
Cloud Manor…
The cat could be heard snoring in the room, and Lin Yan’s pajamas were drenched.
Lin Yan furrowed her eyebrows in her sleep as though she was in great pain.
The scene in her dream had terrified her.
She seemed to be flying in the sky, yet she seemed to be trapped in the deep sea at the same time. She seemed to have seen numerous smiling faces that had completely transformed into terrified, desperate shouts…
A faint glow appeared and enveloped Lin Yan. In an instant, all the painful scenes shattered like a mirror, leaving behind only beauty.
Lin Yan opened her eyes.
She checked the time, and it was just after midnight.
“Eh…”
Lin Yan sat up and took a sip of water, looking puzzled.
She seemed to have just had an incredible dream, but she could not remember it.
For some reason, the first person she wanted to see when she woke up was Pei Yucheng.
She wondered if Pei Yucheng was asleep.
Lin Yan changed clothes and headed to the bedroom.
She then noticed Pei Nanxu and Pei Yutang in the study.
“Didn’t you go to sleep?”
Pei Yucheng spoke softly when he saw Lin Yan.
“I woke up.” Lin Yan grinned.
“You woke up?” Pei Yutang glanced at Lin Yan in surprise. “Sister Yan, what are you doing? Are you a night owl?”
“Why aren’t the two of you resting?” Lin Yan was puzzled. “Why are you disturbing your brother so late at night?”
Pei Nanxu and Pei Yutang were forced to suffer a public display of affection when they saw how protective Lin Yan was.
Pei Yucheng stroked the girl’s hair. “It’s fine. I couldn’t sleep either.”
Lin Yan blinked, looking worried. “You couldn’t sleep? What’s wrong? Is it insomnia? Should I call the doctor?”
Pei Yucheng chuckled quietly as he watched her.
Lin Yan finally realized that he hadn’t been able to sleep because she had admitted that she liked him…
Pei Yutang, who didn’t know what was going on, exclaimed excitedly, “Sister Yan, how could you fall asleep?”
After learning that the Pei Family had evolved beings and that Pei Yucheng was an evolved being himself, Pei Nanxu and Pei Yutang naturally wanted to know more about them. Although they weren’t evolved beings and had been ‘exiled’ to Cloud Manor since a young age, they were still part of the Pei Family. This couldn’t change.
“Big Brother, tell Second Brother and me about your evolved ability. Can you fly? Can you burrow underground?” Pei Yutang stared at Pei Yucheng excitedly.
Pei Yucheng was speechless…
Lin Yan glanced at Pei Yutang. Indeed, there was no escape from this husky attribute—it was silly.
“No,” replied Pei Yucheng.
“Huh? You can’t even do that? I wanted Big Brother to take me to the sky.” Pei Yutang sighed in disappointment.
Pei Nanxu pondered it for a moment before his eyes landed on Pei Yucheng. He then asked solemnly, “Does Big Brother know how to become invisible?”
“No,” replied Pei Yucheng.
Pei Nanxu was speechless…
