Looking at the message Yan Qi had sent, confirming that Daoyan truly intended to teach them the cultivation techniques she had developed—both to them and their family members—Yan Yu thought of her still-ordinary parents and younger sister, and immediately felt a surge of excitement.
But Yan Yu didn’t let her excitement last too long. She quickly typed a reply to Ji Zige on the other end of the mysterious chat app.
『That’s really great news! Thank you for letting me know, little sister Xiao Ge.』
『You’re welcome, it’s the least I could do.』
Seeing her sister’s message, Yan Qi smiled and replied.
Reading Yan Qi’s response, Yan Yu thought of an important question and quickly typed another message.
『So, little sister Xiao Ge, since Daoyan is opening the cultivation techniques she developed to all members of our organization and their relatives, how exactly does she plan to do that?』
Faced with the question, Yan Qi, who already had an answer prepared, replied.
『Regarding that, Daoyan’s plan is to first collect applications from the members. Then, based on the order of applications, she will personally teach the techniques.』
『Daoyan herself will teach us? Wouldn’t that be too much trouble for her?』
After reading Yan Qi’s message, Yan Yu was surprised to learn that Daoyan intended to teach them personally and expressed her concern.
『Don’t worry, sister Xiao Yu. Right now, our Free Life Association only has seven members in total. Even if all six members besides Daoyan submit applications, it won’t be any trouble for her.』
Yan Qi typed these words to Yan Yu through the mysterious chat app.
Reading Yan Qi’s reply, Yan Yu—who was learning for the first time that the Free Life Association she had joined had only seven members—couldn’t help showing a slightly surprised expression.
But she quickly composed herself and, driven by curiosity, typed another message to Yan Qi.
『So our organization only has seven people, no wonder you said that even if Daoyan teaches us personally, it wouldn’t be troublesome for her.』
Looking at Yan Yu’s message, Yan Qi—who knew very well that the so-called seven-member organization actually had only two real members—secretly smiled to herself.
But aware that this secret must never be revealed, Yan Qi said nothing about it. Instead, she quickly typed a reply agreeing with Yan Yu.
『Yes, that’s exactly why I was confident in telling you that.』
Reading the message on her phone, Yan Yu’s curiosity still wasn’t satisfied. She continued typing.
『By the way, little sister Xiao Ge, you said our organization has seven members. Could you tell me the names and most noticeable physical features of the other members besides me, you, Daoyan, and Yao’er? I’m worried I might not recognize them if I ever meet them.』
Looking at the text on her screen, Yan Qi thought for a moment and decided there was no need to hide her other identities. She began typing her reply.
『I understand your concern, sister Xiao Yu. Don’t worry, I’ll tell you the names and most striking features of the members you haven’t met yet.』
After sending the message, without overthinking it, Yan Qi began fabricating the names and descriptions of her newest alternate identities on her phone.
『Si Yexing: a chuunibyou girl who calls herself the “Beautiful Grim Reaper.” Her most noticeable features are her very long, sun-like dazzling golden hair and a pair of beautiful emerald-green eyes that resemble precious gems.
Also, Si Yexing usually likes to wear black-and-white Lolita dresses with a black cloak draped over them. She always carries a black scythe taller than herself.』
『Zhao Mei’er: a lolita succubus with maxed-out charm abilities. Her most noticeable traits are her shoulder-length pink hair, which blooms like peach blossoms, and a pair of golden eyes that seem ordinary at first glance but give off an indescribable sense of danger upon closer look. She also has demon wings and a tail.
Additionally, due to her succubus nature, Zhao Mei’er usually dresses rather revealingly, though she herself doesn’t actually want to. She strongly dislikes being asked why she dresses that way, so if you ever meet her, remember never to bring it up.』
『Yu Xiaoxiao: a mermaid princess blessed by the ocean. Her most noticeable features are her medium-length blue hair—lighter than mine but complementing the azure sea—and a pair of warm, friendly blue eyes. She also has a fish tail with iridescent scales.
Also, Yu Xiaoxiao’s style of dress is somewhat similar to Zhao Mei’er’s, but since she spends most of her time in the water, she isn’t very sensitive about questions regarding her clothing.』
Seeing the messages from Yan Qi pouring in one after another, Yan Yu on the other end of the mysterious chat app was initially a bit overwhelmed.
Fortunately, Yan Qi’s creativity had its limits, and she soon stopped sending new messages.
Relieved, Yan Yu took a deep breath and focused her attention fully on the information about the organization members she hadn’t met yet.
“Si Yexing, Zhao Mei’er, and Yu Xiaoxiao… I wonder when I’ll get the chance to meet them.”
After reading the messages and familiarizing herself with the names and features of Yan Qi’s three newest identities, Yan Yu couldn’t help but muse to herself.
『Thank you for sending me this information, little sister Xiao Ge. Otherwise, I would never have known there were such members in our organization.』
Not forgetting to thank Ji Zige on the other end of the mysterious chat app, Yan Yu snapped out of her thoughts and quickly typed these words to send to Yan Qi.
『You’re welcome, it’s what I should do.』
Yan Qi replied to her sister.
『By the way, little sister Xiao Ge, how should I write the application to learn the cultivation techniques? And after I write it, who should I send it to? You or Daoyan herself?』
