Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 1409: Chapter 770: Open and Hidden Strife

Qing Chen acted as if he didn’t hear anything and turned on the holographic projection, trying to use the TV program inside to distract the girls.

Qin Yiyi got up to go to the kitchen to cook, while Yangyang smiled and said, ”Thanks a lot!”

Then she moved next to Qing Chen to watch the TV program together.

However, before she’d watched for two seconds, Qin Yiyi came over and pulled her up: ”Come on, Yangyang sister, let’s cook together, it’s really fun.”

”Hey? Hey? Let go of me, let go of me...” Yangyang said helplessly.

The next moment, Qing Chen watched as Qin Yiyi dragged Yangyang by the wrist, pulling her from the floor into the kitchen.

Yangyang slid across the floor, looking helplessly at Qing Chen.

With a clang, the kitchen door closed.

No one can be alone with Qing Chen!

To be honest, Yangyang’s personality is very difficult to handle; few people can match her, but only someone like Qin Yiyi, with her straightforward nature, can counter her quirky antics...

Qing Chen sighed lightly with relief, finally having a bit of alone time.

All day today, he was anxiously cautious, fearing the triggering of a Shura Field scene mechanism; it was too difficult.

At this moment, he was thinking, didn’t ancient emperors get tired of marrying so many wives... why put themselves through such trouble.

Not long after, Qin Yiyi and Yangyang came out holding a late-night snack: tomato scrambled eggs and stir-fried green peppers with meat, simple and plain.

Qin Yiyi smiled, pointing at the tomato scrambled eggs: ”I made this.”

Qing Chen looked at the stir-fried green peppers with meat: ”What about this?”

Qin Yiyi smiled and said, ”I made this too.”

So, Yangyang didn’t make anything, she just watched from the side.

Yangyang: ”...”

She suddenly realized that Qin Yiyi had started to evolve too.

Sure enough, people grow under pressure!

After dinner, Yangyang took her toiletries and walked to the bathroom: ”Brother, I’m going to take a bath, brother.”

Qing Chen responded with a nasal ”mm,” his eyes fixed on the holographic projection without turning.

Qin Yiyi moved closer with a smile, and the same scene unfolded again. Yangyang looked at Qin Yiyi and asked, ”Aren’t you going to take a bath? You sweated today too.”

Qin Yiyi said, ”I’ll wash later... hey, let go of me!”

”Hey, you spend all that time in the Great Snow Mountain exposed to wind and sun, how is your skin still so good?”

”Natural beauty.”

The two pushed each other into the bathroom, where Yangyang and Yiyi playfully argued, while Qing Chen closed his eyes and began to cultivate, feeling like Fahai from the movie Green Snake, with the snake spirit by his side trying to break his state of mind.

Eventually, Qing Chen got up and went outside, sitting alone on the edge of the 89th-floor rooftop, looking at the lights below, shining like a galaxy, as electric cars passed by like comets in the city.

The street was bustling with hurried people.

Sometimes Qing Chen still felt a bit lost. There were so many enemies, so many things to think about, and life seemed to keep passing by in a rush, never having the chance to stop.

He didn’t know how much time passed when the rooftop door behind him opened, and Yangyang and Qin Yiyi walked up with beer: ”Knew you’d be here. What, are we bothering you now?”

Qing Chen smiled and said, ”No.”

Yangyang and Qin Yiyi sat on either side of him, half a dozen beers beside each, raising a toast in the air.

The gentle spring evening breeze blew over the three of them, like high school students with nothing to do, with many dreams left unfulfilled, yet full of hope.

Yangyang said, ”You didn’t want much to do with the Qing’s Family before. This time, for City No.10, you actively accepted it all; it must be hard for you.”

Qing Chen shook his head: ”It’s not difficult. Sometimes, when I think about it, six million people are still trying to make ends meet. What’s one person’s preferences worth sacrificing at a time like this? Besides, my brother probably wished for me to come here too.”

Qin Yiyi spoke up: ”I heard from the Great Elder that the Qing Clan House Master is a strange person. He even went to Fire Pit to drink and signed a cooperation alliance face-to-face. The Great Elder said the Qing Clan House Master has the demeanor of a generation-defining leader, with an astonishing presence. But later, for some reason, he started reclusive, always staying behind the scenes, and no longer trusted Fire Pit.”

Qing Chen pondered: ”Perhaps he didn’t distrust Fire Pit, but didn’t trust anyone anymore.”

Yangyang suddenly asked, ”What’s your plan next?”

Qing Chen replied, ”After leaving City No.5, I’ll find a way to quickly head to the Forbidden Sea Coast. You can only understand them by staying there. A battle between the East and West is inevitable. Now, more than half the Federation’s demigods have fallen due to internal strife. If the demigods from the Forbidden Sea Coast are all alive, that would be a very troublesome matter.”

The Federation’s fortunes at this generation seemed to suddenly break off, with the consortiums clashing with each other, every demigod harboring hidden intentions, their opponents already hitting home, and Chen Yu still showing no sign of resisting foreign enemies.

This is extremely dangerous.

”In the short term, I only have three goals: one is to investigate Zong Cheng’s puppets, another is to ascertain the strength of the Forbidden Sea Coast, and the last one is to promote strength, whether it’s my own strength or that of everyone under me, we must be ready for that war.”

”Good luck, I’ll lay the foundation in the wilderness,” Yangyang said, ”Once the Federation falls, the wilderness will become your last retreat. We’ll learn from our predecessors there and fight guerrilla battles with them, but hopefully, it won’t come to that.”

Qin Yiyi also said: ”I represent Fire Pit to support you!”

As the conversation continued, the two girls drank too much, speaking drunkenly and nonsensically.

The two of them swayed back and forth on the rooftop, at risk of falling off at any moment.

Qing Chen, helpless, had no choice but to carry them one by one back to their room, tossing them onto the bed and closing the door.

As soon as the door closed, both girls opened their eyes in the darkness. After looking at each other calmly for a while, they both took out their phones and started messaging each other...

After all, Qing Chen’s hearing was so sharp he could hear them perfectly even if they whispered.

The two silently tapped away on their phones, having a fierce battle of words.

From time to time, they would glare at each other and then go back to their phones.

This battle continued until four in the morning when they finally put their phones down and snuggled under one blanket, falling into a deep sleep.

In the stillness of the night, Qin Yiyi opened her eyes again, carefully plugging her ears with two cotton balls, and everything related to her was shielded by Taboo ACE-105, Deafening Silence.

The sounds were swallowed by an unseen monster in the darkness; the rustling of clothes, the rustling of blankets, the pressing noise of springs in the mattress, all disappeared.

She quietly got up, wearing her newly bought pajamas, and tiptoed to the living room, wanting to sit next to Qing Chen and watch him sleep.

However, just then, she heard rustling sounds and turned back, only to find Yangyang’s figure had disappeared from the bed.

The entire room was void of any sign of Yangyang!

The next second, Qin Yiyi heard Yangyang’s low voice in the nearby emptiness, ”Where are you going? Oh wow, you’re backing out on our agreed plan.”

Speaking, Yangyang removed the cotton ball from her left ear.

Qin Yiyi was startled: ”Ah, don’t scare me like that!”

”I see you’re guilty at heart!”

At this moment, Yangyang lowered her hands from her eyes, revealing her form from the darkness.

The newly gained family heirloom taboo items had already been used by the two, one could mute sounds, the other could turn invisible, but unfortunately, neither was used for the right purposes.

Qin Yiyi laughed: ”I’m going to the bathroom.”

”Mm-hmm,” Yangyang smiled and said, ”Let’s go together, take the cotton balls with you, don’t wake Qing Chen, he’s finally got some rest these days.”

The two lively girls headed to the bathroom, Qin Yiyi holding Yangyang’s hand, appearing like truly intimate sisters.

At this point, Qin Yiyi noticed that when she held Yangyang’s palm, all sounds emanating from Yangyang disappeared.

Countdown 16:00:00.

At eight in the morning, Qing Chen finally had a good sleep.

When he woke up, he didn’t hear any movement in the room, but there were two notes placed side by side on the coffee table next to him.

The two girls had left without saying goodbye, choosing not to continue their battle, but to leave at the same time.
