Worldwide Simulation Era

If he were to slack off, he would be the one to suffer in the end.

Lin Qiye could understand.

However, it had only been a short while. No matter how fast Lin Qiye's cultivation progress was, he couldn't break through in a dozen days.

"What do you want to check? Didn't you say there's still half a year? How long has it been?" Lin Qiye shot her a glance, and the latter immediately fell silent.

It seemed like it. The temple had just been built. He didn't have that much power of merits to make a breakthrough.

Lonemoon's face turned red, and she shook her furry ears, looking a little embarrassed.

"Alright, don't worry. You don't have to think about me. I promise I'll reach the late stage of the Golden Core Realm before the tiger demon comes out."

Seeing Lonemoon's worried look, Lin Qiye could not help but comfort her.

He reached out his little hand and touched Lonemoon's head. The latter seemed to enjoy the feeling and hugged Lin Qiye tightly.

"F*ck! Again? Hurry up and let go!"

Lin Qiye kept struggling, but he was only at the mid-stage Golden Core Realm. In addition, he was small in size. If he didn't get serious, there was no way he could break free from Lonemoon's hands.

He could only let her hug him and rub her face against his abdomen.

At this moment, there was a creak at the door. Then, Lonemoon saw a head pop in.

The atmosphere instantly froze.

Lin Qiye froze. Lonemoon also turned around and remained where she was.

The person at the door widened his eyes, his jaw almost dropping to the ground.

"Clang!" A bunch of keys fell to the ground.

The person standing at the door immediately came back to his senses.

He broke out in a cold sweat and turned around stiffly as if he had thought of something. He put on an exaggerated expression of realization and said, "Right, the stove is still on. I have to go back and take a look!"

After saying this, he ran out of the door as if he had not seen anything.

Only Lin Qiye and Lonemoon were left in the room.

The two of them looked at each other in a daze. Did that guy see it just now?

He must have seen it!

Realizing they were still hugging each other tightly, Lonemoon quickly let go.

This time, she was done for.

Although she hugged Lin Qiye purely because she thought he was cute, their action just now was too easy to misunderstand.

If that guy were to spread the news of what had happened today, Lin Qiye could forget about getting any more power of virtue.

After all, in the eyes of the people, Immortals and Holy Spirits were absolutely sacred and pure.

"I'll catch him!"

Realizing the severity of the problem, Lonemoon was about to go out and chase after that person.

However, Lin Qiye stopped her.

"Forget it. Let him go."

"But..."

"No buts. So what if you caught him? Don't tell me you want to kill him?"

Lin Qiye's words left Lonemoon speechless.

That's right. Even if she caught that person, she couldn't do anything.

She couldn't possibly silence him over this matter. That wasn't her style of doing things.

"What should we do now? If he goes out and spreads rumors, you won't be able to get people's worship, and you can't obtain the power of virtue!"

Lonemoon was clearly anxious.

Lin Qiye's heart moved.

He didn't need any merit at all, but if he could use this opportunity to stop Lonemoon from touching him, it could be considered a good thing!

Lin Qiye coughed. "Don't worry. I have a way to solve this. However, this method can only be used once. In the future, you can't touch me. If someone sees it again, it'll be impossible to do anything."

"Ah? Really?"

Lonemoon was overjoyed and quickly nodded. "I'll be more careful in the future!"

Lin Qiye nodded in satisfaction.

He usually wouldn't refuse a beautiful woman throwing herself at him, but Lonemoon was as clingy as a puppy. Once she got close, she couldn't be pushed away.

More importantly, she was strong.

Lin Qiye did not doubt that if he had a physical body, this hug would have broken at least a few of his ribs!

"What do you plan to do?" Lonemoon asked as if she was still worried.

"It's useless if I tell you this method. You don't have to care so much. I'll handle it," Lin Qiye said in all seriousness.

"Alright then."

Lonemoon did not doubt him. She believed that it was as Lin Qiye had said. The method would be useless once he told her, so she did not continue to ask.

Lin Qiye heaved a sigh of relief.

It was good that Lonemoon was simple-minded, or else he wouldn't be able to explain this random reason he made up.

"Alright, it's about time you go back. You've been out for so long. Be careful not to arouse the suspicion of the tiger demon."

Lin Qiye urged Lonemoon to leave.

"Okay, I'll come to see you again in a while." Lonemoon turned around and left.

Upon hearing that she wanted to come again, Lin Qiye quickly said, "Don't. If you come out frequently, the tiger demon will definitely be suspicious. Don't worry. I'll work hard and break through to the late Golden Core Realm soon!"

What a joke. He had no way of dealing with that person today.

If the news spread in the village, wouldn't his cover be blown if Lonemoon came again?

Therefore, before he broke through, she must not be allowed to come back to the village.

After all, Lonemoon still firmly believed that he had relied on merit to break through. Even if Lin Qiye told her that he didn't need merit, it would be difficult for her to believe it.

After much persuasion, he finally sent Lonemoon away.

Before Lin Qiye could catch his breath, he heard the villagers discussing what had happened behind the temple today.

"Hey, did you guys hear? Someone saw Lord Holy Infant and Lord Fox Immortal being intimate in the storeroom of the Holy Infant Temple!"

"F*ck! You can't just say that. Is it true?"

"I've also heard about it. At that time, Lord Fox Immortal held Lord Holy Infant like this..."

"Woah! That's awesome! Are all Immortals so good at playing around?"

The rumors were getting more and more outrageous. Each of them spoke so methodically that Lin Qiye would have believed them if he wasn't the person involved.
