MTLNOVEL Chapter 228: Dream Conversation with My Sister
Lu Qingqing did have a bit of dreamworld common sense, and didn't immediately choose to believe.
She held her breath until her face turned red, stomping her feet back and forth, "pat pat pat," she began to force herself to awaken.
Her figure slowly dimmed, becoming hazy and unclear.
"My dear sister, if you wake up now, you'll waste this opportunity," Lu Yuan immediately said.
At the words "dear sister," it seemed to awaken some deep memories within her, and she began to believe a little.
She eyed him suspiciously.
She saw behind Lu Yuan, only half the face of Conch Girl peeking out: "Are you really my brother?"
"Nonsense," he replied.
"You have dream abilities now?!"
"Sort of," he answered.
"Oh my, what a beautiful girl, are you playing around with such a flower in your dream?" Lu Qingqing asked with a curious expression.
Lu Yuan shook his head and said with all the righteousness he could muster: "This one... she's real... come on, call her master."
Conch Girl, facing Lu Yuan's sister, was actually very nervous, her brain froze for a split second, and she truly timidly called out: "Master."
"Ah?!" Lu Qingqing was startled and ended up sitting on the ground with a thud.
Conch Girl, realizing her mistake in calling out, also sat down on the ground with a thud.
Her eyes widened, cheeks blushing, and tears were almost spilling out.
...
...
Lu Yuan finally experienced how much of a blessing it was to have two "Holy Kings" attending to him!
The feeling of those little fists pounding on his chest—was not something ordinary people got to enjoy!
"Wow... can't get enough, really can't get enough... Is this what being alive feels like?"
Lu Yuan always felt he had been influenced by Old Cat.
At this moment, the cheerful Lu Qingqing was sitting on a sofa with Conch Girl, chatting about something.
From time to time, she glanced at those pointy ears, then snuck a peek at Lu Yuan, her face nearly brimming with gossip.
Luckily, she was just an apparition, otherwise, poor Conch Girl would surely have been taken advantage of by some wandering hands.
Clearly uncomfortable with the situation, Conch Girl's eyes sent out a plea for help—quick, save me.
"Lu Yuan, this girl you found is so cute!!" Lu Qingqing's girlish heart burst forth, "Even I, a girl, find her adorable. Will you be my girlfriend?"
Conch Girl was flabbergasted; we are both females.
She could taunt Lu Yuan with that minx-like tone, but she wouldn't dare with anyone else.
"Miss Lu, you are indeed dreaming, she does look like this, you'll get used to it after seeing her a lot," Lu Yuan rounded off the conversation, "Her name is Conch, I picked her up in the desert..."
"There's a Green Grass Civilization ruin in the desert, she's the last one left of that civilization, the others are pretty much gone."
Lu Qingqing's expression froze for a moment and she quickly stopped teasing, only relaxing after seeing that Conch Girl wasn't upset.
"Weren't you looking for Sky City? How did that go?"
"I've found it, was quite lucky. However, the Green Grass Civilization disappeared four thousand years ago, she survived by pure chance. I now have a whole city," he shared.
"A lot has happened in between, I'm a Level Four Powerhouse now."
"So fast? Our side... the strongest is still Level One..." Lu Qingqing suddenly felt at a loss, her voice trailing off.
She knew about the dangers outside, it wasn't something she could mention lightly as "it's only been a few days here."
For a moment, she clenched her fists, not knowing what else to say.
Lu Yuan said, "By the way, when you wake up, say hello to our leader for me, let them know I'm still alive, and I've discovered Sky City. We'll exchange intel when we have the chance."
"Oh, okay."
"I've recruited a group of people here, they are of human lineage too. Eventually, we will make the long journey to return to the human city together."
"Oh, okay." Lu Qingqing nodded like a pecking chicken, and then, as if struck by lightning, was shocked, "Ah? What... human lineage?"
"Have you... started a family already? How many kids have you got? Am I an aunt now? What are their names? Boys or girls?"
Conch Girl, once again, sat down on the ground with a thud.
...
After some explanation, Lu Qingqing finally understood that the people they had recruited were not the offspring of the two but were locals of another civilization.
She looked somewhat disappointed: "Okay... It seems I misunderstood..."
"Having a group of companions is good, the power of one person is always limited."
"But, are they willing to follow your leadership?"
Lu Yuan chuckled and began to narrate some interesting stories.
However, he omitted some details.
Because many things involved Conch Girl's personal privacy.
Things like the Opium poppy, Mother Worm, and other matters related to Conch Girl, he did not elaborate on.
He didn't even tell her that they were trying to raise Sky City back into the sky and then steer the whole city back to the human world—because that task wasn't guaranteed to succeed, Lu Yuan didn't like to pop the champagne too early.
If they truly managed to raise the city, they could always notify her later.
Besides, he was way too far from the human stronghold. Humans needed to depend on themselves, not on a Lu Yuan who was far away.
"So you saved their lives, and now you're the emperor in that place?"
Lu Qingqing winked, looking at Lu Yuan and then Conch Girl... Conch Girl was clearly the type who would be bullied, she really wanted to tease her.

Knowing that his sister enjoyed palace drama, Lu Yuan retorted without much patience: "If I'm the emperor, then you're the Princess, with a bunch of eunuchs at your side, serving you chamber pots at night, how about that?"
The corners of Lu Qingqing's mouth lifted, revealing two shallow dimples: "Your Majesty, do you still remember the Xia Hehe by the Big East Lake 19 years ago?"
