Infinite Awakening: My Exp Doubles Everyday novel Chapter 246

Chapter 246: Slight Problem [PART 1]

Li Yao stared at the acidic blood crater for a long time. The wheels in her mind turned as pieces clicked together.

She thought to herself that the Demon God was clearly targeting her. A mischievous smile slowly spread across her face. "Should I pay them a visit? Maybe they want to play with me," she spoke aloud.

[Why don’t we return to the sect first?] the Empress spoke.

But Li Yao dismissed her words with a casual wave of her hand. "Nah, imma do my own thing," she said as she prepared to launch herself after the flying blood bags. Even though they had disappeared far away and she couldn’t sense them anymore, she could tell their general direction from the lingering scent in the air.

"This is troublesome," the Empress thought. It seemed this new form was interfering with Li Yao’s personality. The childish playfulness combined with the power she had was simply a disaster waiting to happen.

[Do you really want to go?] the Empress asked.

"Of course! Can’t you see they’re inviting me to play? It’s going to be so much fun!" Li Yao said, bouncing on her toes with excitement.

The Empress sighed audibly.

"What is it?" Li Yao asked, tilting her head curiously.

The Empress sighed again, deeper this time. [Never mind, it’s okay,] she said reluctantly.

"What, what? Tell me, tell me!" Li Yao started jumping around impatiently, her earlier bloodthirsty intentions momentarily forgotten in favor of satisfying her curiosity.

Li Mei glanced at her cousin’s erratic behavior, wondering what was wrong with her. Either way, this definitely didn’t seem like the Li Yao she remembered from their childhood. "It seems I have the wrong person," she whispered under her breath, "Now if you’ll excuse me..." she started slowly crawling away, being careful not to make even the slightest sound that might draw attention to her escape attempt.

"Tell me, tell me please!" Li Yao continued nagging the Empress.

[It’s fine, you’re busy anyway,] the Empress spoke with resignation.

"Busy? Me? I’m always free!" Li Yao protested, spreading her arms wide as if to demonstrate her complete lack of obligations.

[But you said you want to play with those Demon God people,] the Empress said with another theatrical sigh.

"I won’t play with them anymore, they’re not fun anyway. So, what is it? Tell me!" Li Yao spoke cheerfully.

The Empress wore a satisfied smile. [Don’t you want to show off your new form to your senior brother?] she asked.

Li Yao seemed lost in thought for a moment, her expression shifting as she considered this.

[You can even play together,] the Empress added.

Li Yao’s eyes lit up and she began jumping excitedly. "That’s right! Playing with senior brother is much more fun than anyone else!" she spoke with genuine enthusiasm.

The Empress internally apologized to Xiang Yu. If he was lucky, this form might be unstable and Li Yao might revert to her base personality. If he wasn’t lucky... well, sucks to suck, skill issue ig.

Meanwhile, Li Mei had almost reached the edge of the mountain, crawling slowly and carefully. A relieved smile appeared on her face as freedom seemed within reach. "Yes, this is it. If I just jump off and use my remaining qi to cushion the fall..." she thought to herself.

But as she was planning her escape, a small foot suddenly appeared before her. She slowly turned her gaze upward, meeting Li Yao’s bright, innocent eyes staring down at her.

"That was close! You almost fell," Li Yao spoke with genuine concern, reaching down and picking Li Mei up by her clothes like she was handling a wayward kitten.

"If you fall, you’ll break, and I won’t be able to show you off to senior brother," Li Yao explained, holding her cousin at eye level.

Li Yao thought to herself with sudden inspiration that if she introduced Li Mei to her senior brother as a relative, it would be kind of like meeting the parents. That would practically make them married! She was so clever - not even the Empress could have come up with such a brilliant plan.
