As the first rays of morning light stread through the curtains, Yumo, dressed in her nightgown, slowly woke up from her "statue mode" on the couch. She opened her eyes, a mix of coldness and warmth in their deep red color.

"Is it morning already?" she mumbled to herself.

Usually, Yumo would be in bed acting as ngxi’s "cuddle pillow," tightly hugged by the young girl. But recalling so awkward mories, Yumo had slipped away from ngxi in the middle of the night to sit on the couch.

Yumo knew that when ngxi first falls asleep, she’s as peaceful as an angel. But by the second half of the night, she turns into a restless "little devil." Her sleeping positions are, to put it mildly, not flattering. What’s more, ngxi tends to move around a lot in her sleep, especially when she’s using soone as her "cuddle pillow."

Back when Yumo was disguised as "Xiaomo," she had been on the receiving end of ngxi’s restless sleep many tis. Waking up disheveled was the norm, and it was always awkward to find ngxi’s feet, legs, chest, or even her butt close to her face.

To avoid any awkward situations, Yumo had strategically moved to the couch this ti.

So, when she woke up, she felt much more at ease.

"I wonder how that girl is doing," Yumo thought as she glanced at ngxi, who was still asleep on the bed.

ngxi looked like a sleeping beauty. Her pure, light-purple eyes were closed, and her lips were curved in a sweet smile. It seed like she was having a wonderful dream.

ngxi was lying on the luxurious bed, her long, beautiful silver hair spread out on the pillow. Her silky nightgown clung to her curves tightly, and her long, exposed legs were incredibly alluring. She looked stunning, even sowhat dangerously seductive.

Under the soft morning light, the beautiful girl breathed softly in deep sleep.

After being comforted with "Tears of Nature" by Yumo the night before, the swelling had gone down. But ngxi’s well-endowed chest was still too much for Yumo’s nightgown to handle. After a night of tossing and turning, the top buttons had inevitably popped open, giving a view of ngxi’s alluring collarbone and a hint of her flawless skin. Her chest moved up and down with her breath, and it seed like the remaining buttons might give way at any mont.

Though ngxi looked beautiful, her sleeping position was, as Yumo had expected, far from elegant.

Sohow, during the night, ngxi had moved from the head of the bed to the foot, even taking her pillow with her. Her blanket was kicked up against the bed fra.

But even with her awkward movents, ngxi still looked adorable.

Under Yumo’s loving gaze, ngxi was hugging a soft panda pillow that Yumo had specially made. She even nuzzled it occasionally, perhaps thinking it was Yumo herself, thanks to so lingering scent on the pillow.

Watching ngxi cuddle the pillow made Yumo feel oddly jealous deep down. She had an urge to replace that pillow with herself.

Weird, right?

After all, she originally used that pillow to keep ngxi company.

"Ah, never mind. No point in overthinking it,"

Yumo thought, feeling a bit mixed up. She then got up and walked over to the side of the bed.

"ngxi, ti to get up,"

Yumo gently nudged ngxi, who responded with a cute ’Hmm’ and rolled over to continue sleeping.

Seeing ngxi’s laziness, Yumo chuckled and poked her gently in the waist, a spot she knew was sensitive for ngxi.

Let’s not get into how Yumo knew that...

Anyway, the poke made ngxi twitch as if shocked by static.

The next mont, ngxi slowly opened her sleep-filled, light-purple eyes. She pouted her lips and looked at Yumo like a cute bunny.

"Good morning, Yumo"

"Good morning, ngxi. Ti to get up."

"Mmm, but I’m so sleepy. I don’t wanna get up,"

ngxi yawned and reluctantly snuggled against her fluffy panda pillow. Clearly, she wanted to keep sleeping.

Yumo shook her head, amused yet exasperated, and patted ngxi on the head:

"If you don’t get up now, you’ll be late."

"Mmm, but I’m so sleepy... I need a kiss from Yumo to fully charge my energy~"

"You cheeky girl"

Yumo said, unable to resist a smile at ngxi’s playful request. This ti, Yumo didn’t refuse ngxi’s ’cheeky’ request. She bent down and gave ngxi a kiss on the forehead.

"There, can you get up now, sleepyhead?"

"Hmm?"

The mont she was kissed, ngxi seed slightly stunned, as if she hadn’t expected her joking words to get a response from Yumo.

’Is Yumo being extra nice to because she feels guilty about last night?’

ngxi wondered.

’Is the effect still lingering into this morning?’

ngxi was puzzled but felt deeply satisfied inside.

’Getting a morning kiss from Yumo—how happy is that! I wish every day could start like this, hehe~’

Daydreaming about a happy future, ngxi slowly got out of bed and stretched her arms, yawning. Her well-endowed chest, restrained until now, finally broke free due to her stretching.

For a second, the mood in Yumo’s room got a little...spring-like.

"Sister Yumo, you’re so nice, hehe~"

"Glad you think so."

"Oh, Yumo~"

After stretching, ngxi seed to rember sothing and called out to Yumo, who was about to turn and change her clothes. Yumo looked back, puzzled.

"What is it?"

"About the promise you made before we went to sleep last night... does it still stand?"

"..."

Hearing that, Yumo felt a little surprised inside. She paused for a second, then smiled and nodded, saying,

"Yeah…"

"Hehe~"

ngxi said, rubbing her sleepy eyes, pleased with the answer.

"But you said last night that a big goal should be broken down into smaller ones and achieved step by step right? Destroying the Demon Temple is the final goal. So, what rewards do I get for achieving the smaller goals?"

"Smaller goals?"

"Yep, like breaking through to the seventh level, for example. Having a reward that makes more motivating!"

ngxi hopped off the bed, bounding over to Yumo with her eyebrows raised and a hopeful look in her eyes.

Yumo thought about it. Big goals are far off. Maybe encouraging her to reach smaller goals isn’t a bad idea.

With that, Yumo nodded in agreent.

"Okay, what would you like as a reward for reaching the seventh level?"

"I want... a whole day date with you, Yumo!"

"A date?" Yumo blinked, a bit surprised.

"Yes, a day out. But I get to plan all the activities, and you have to follow along."

"Hmm..."

"Co on, say yes? It’ll really boost my motivation to train harder."

Faced with ngxi’s adorable plea, Yumo hesitated. But recalling the rather bold promise she had made the previous night, she felt a twinge of guilt. Finally, she nodded, eting ngxi’s gleeful gaze.

"Alright, I agree."

"Yay! You really are the best, Yumo!"

ngxi’s face lit up with joy. In her excitent, she jumped and hugged Yumo, nuzzling her cheek like a child, making Yumo smile indulgently. Yumo gently patted ngxi’s head.

"Okay, okay, get up now. You’ll be late for your morning training. I’ve already washed and dried your clothes from yesterday. Just change into them."

"Okay~"

’Wow, she’s already washed and dried my clothes? Yumo really is amazing’

But then ngxi started to feel a bit uneasy. When the topic of the big goal—destroying the Demon Temple—ca up, ’why did Yumo look away?’

That made ngxi feel a little worried and uneasy.
