717, Clocking in at a set time and place can really make someone feel desperate_1

When Lin Yi opened his eyes again, he found himself inside a cottage in Soul Land. He popped the last piece of candied haw into his mouth and then threw the bamboo skewer out of the window.

Lying in bed, Lin Yi couldn't help but long for the large bed in Lin Jingyue's sleeping chamber, a sensation from four days ago in his memory, yet only a few seconds had passed in the reality of Soul Land.

Happiness is always fleeting. Lin Yi turned his head, feeling the room was too quiet, so he opened the panel and threw out the Puppet Poseidon.

"Hello, Master. Do you have any orders?"

Wearing a black silk maid outfit, the Puppet Poseidon stood erect by the bed, smiling at Lin Yi and asked.

Having grown used to smiles filled with emotion, Lin Yi felt for the first time the mechanical nature hidden within a puppet's smile.

"Nothing special, just come over here and let me hold you."

"Yes, Master."

The Puppet Poseidon voluntarily came over, sat beside Lin Yi, opened her arms, hugged him, and rested her head on his shoulder.

This was the advantage of the System, able to set a puppet to be indistinguishable from a real person except for emotions, with all other aspects utterly the same.

Feeling the softness and warmth of the puppet, Lin Yi's male attributes suddenly awoke. He touched the black silk on Poseidon's leg, gave it a light tug, and with a ripping sound, a piece of fair skin was revealed.

The swath of bare skin framed by the surrounding black silk seemed extremely enticing.

Stockings are truly one of the greatest inventions of Blue Planet from the past few millennia.

He didn't plan to check today's rewards either, preparing to rest early and welcome a new day's challenges tomorrow.

"Xi Xi, I'll give you a chance to please me. You take the lead."

After speaking, Lin Yi lay down on the bed, exhausted.

A voice came from beside him, "Understood, my Master."

Lin Yi closed his eyes. When Poseidon didn't start by telling jokes or singing but instead reached for his belt, he knew the Puppet Poseidon's programming had already been arranged by the System. As soon as he spoke, Poseidon would commence to fulfill her true purpose.

The moonlight was bright, and the night in Soul City was extraordinarily serene, making it hard to associate such tranquility with the bustling scenery associated with the city during the day.

"I have cleaned up for you, Master. Good night, my Master."

After speaking, the Puppet Poseidon lay beside Lin Yi. He turned his head to look at her, raised his finger to wipe the corner of Poseidon's mouth, and questioned, "Wasting food is shameful. Don't you robots know how hard it is for humans to come by their food?"

"I apologize, Master."

Poseidon responded and then took Lin Yi's finger into her mouth.

"That's enough, let's sleep. I'm exhausted."

Lin Yi wrapped his arms around Poseidon's delicate body and closed his eyes.

The inky night swiftly passed with time.

...

The next day, early morning.

Worship Hall.

"Can you get up now?"

"What do you think?! Try it yourself!"

Hearing Qian Renxue's defiant response, Bi Bidong picked up a medicine pestle nearby and said, "Since you can't get up, I can install a spring motor in your back; that should get you up."

Qian Renxue, lying on the bed, widened her beautiful eyes and quickly scrambled up despite the pain: "I can get up now! I'll get dressed first!"

As she got dressed, she kept a wary eye on Bi Bidong, fearing that Bi Bidong might come at her with that hefty medicine pestle, which was no joke at all.

Bi Bidong tapped a pestle in her hand and asked again, "What happened yesterday?"

Qian Renxue immediately shook her head, "Nothing happened yesterday, I didn't see you, and the injury on my body wasn't caused by you. It was a muscle strain from practicing too carelessly."

Bi Bidong nodded in satisfaction, tossed the pestle aside, and the sound of it hitting the ground made Qian Renxue's body shiver.

She took advantage of the early morning to quietly slip out of Qian Renxue's room, having not slept all night, and hurried back to wash up and touch up her makeup, after all, she would meet Lin Yi later.

Qian Renxue struggled to walk to the door, glancing at the damaged lock.

She suddenly felt that the fragile door and lock were the real culprits. If only they could have stopped Bi Bidong from coming in at night.

"Hiss... that really hurts."

Qian Renxue turned to look at the eggplant on the floor, trembling as if traumatized by it, and went back to her bed to furiously pound the quilt, "I'm so fed up with this!!!"

The Snow Emperor too hadn't slept all night.

However, it was joy that had kept him awake all night. After telling the good news to the Ice Emperor and Little Snow Maiden yesterday, the two of them cheered for a while and then swiftly fell asleep.

Currently, the Little Snow Maiden was lying on the Ice Emperor in a strange position, her mouth pouting as she snored, with her tiny feet propped against the Ice Emperor's chin.

The Gua Sha Masters had already started arriving. The Snow Emperor gently lifted a hand and waved it, and instead of melting into water, the ice house rapidly turned into snowflakes dancing in the air.

"You two wake up, people are coming."

The Snow Emperor stepped forward and picked up the two with one hand each, one a little girl, the other a little little girl, both light and easy to lift.

The Ice Emperor rubbed his eyes, "I'm so sleepy."

But the Little Snow Maiden suddenly became energetic. Her eyes widened as if she remembered something, and she quickly squirmed onto the floor and ran towards Lin Yi's cottage, "I'm going to wake Daddy up!"

The Snow Emperor was terrified and hurriedly pulled her back just as the Little Snow Maiden was about to knock on Lin Yi's door, "If Daddy doesn't open the door himself, we can't go knocking!"

"Why? Would Daddy punish his adorable daughter like me?"

"...No reason, just come back with me."

"No! I won't go back!"

"Be good!"

The Snow Emperor was truly scared, afraid that the good impression established with Lin Yi yesterday would be destroyed by the Little Snow Maiden's knocking.

He picked up the Little Snow Maiden again and threw her in front of her more serious aunt.

The little little girl looked up at the little girl, her momentum suddenly weakened.

Because the aunt really hits people!

...

Lin Yi didn't want to wake up; he buried his face in Poseissi's chest, intending to continue his beautiful dream.

But as more and more people arrived outside, even though they were trying to keep their voices down, Lin Yi was gradually disturbed from his sleep.

He opened his eyes, reluctantly patted Poseissi's buttocks, and then returned Poseissi to the System Space.

A new day, new despair, just like freaking going to work.

Lin Yi walked towards the door, knowing his buttocks were going to suffer again, wondering if sitting like this every day could lead to hemorrhoids.

Behind the Gua Sha Master, Thousand Waves looked strangely at his granddaughter's way of walking, "What happened to you again?"

"Practicing, muscle strain."

Qian Renxue responded mechanically while Bi Bidong on the side showed a pleased smile.
