"So you're saying that in the middle of the night, Cheng Ling, with her clothing half undone, dragged you into her bedroom, and then you ca out, picked up Luna, and went ho to sleep?"
Qiao Muyi's tone, as she repeated this fact, seed to be asking Ren Suo, "Just what is wrong with you?"
Dong Chengling clarified, "I'm not you; I wasn't half-dressed."
Qiao Muyi slightly raised her eyebrows, her alluring eyes glancing at Ren Suo as she lightly bit her lip, her voice gentle, "Speaking of which, when the Battle of Truth erupted last night, I had already fallen asleep, and I'm rather used to sleeping without clothes on… Xiao Suo, guess what I was wearing—or not wearing—when you saw in such a hurry last night?"
Before Ren Suo could speak, his sister shushed him by stuffing a large prawn into his mouth. "No guessing, eat your shrimp!"
Under the table, Gu Yueyan took off her shoes and fiercely trampled on Ren Suo's flip-flops with her small feet in black silk stockings.
Speaking of which, Fourth-Stage Cultivators had a benefit that ordinary people could only dream of.
That is, eating shrimp without peeling and eating fish without worrying about bones; they just chew it up, crunching crisply, and digesting well.
After snapping and munching away at the large prawn, Ren Suo said, "Young Master Mu, Luna couldn't transform anymore at that ti; she was just a very ordinary cat."
"Big Brother Ren, the more you speak, the more perverted you sound," Lin Xianyu said with a pained expression as she caressed the Black Cat's back and even protected its tail, as if fearing Ren Suo might do sothing both exceedingly Transcendent and exceptionally perverted.
Ren Suo's eyebrows twitched. He could only explain, "I promised Luna that as long as I have ti, I would play with her. Even if I don't have ti, I'd create ti to be with her."
Yes, Ren Suo had promised. For the following month, he would double his affection for Luna. Ren Suo himself found this miraculous; to this day, he couldn't understand why his Absolute Rationality self had uttered such a Sand Sculpture phrase as 'stack the next month's affection tonight for '—words that even he found ridiculous.
Yet, what was more incredible was that Luna actually did it. Without so much as a word from Rational Ren Suo, Luna's emotional value surged by half, surpassing his five girlfriends! This ant that Rational Ren Suo wasn't a Sand Sculpture, nor was Luna. Therefore… Ren Suo could only honor his promise.
But actually, this was sothing Ren Suo should have done anyway. He was already accustod to spending ti with Luna, usually playing with her until they were both exhausted before going to sleep together.
It was just that in the days prior, Dong Chengling and the others had felt it was too dangerous for Ren Suo and Luna to be together. So Dong Chengling took the initiative to take care of Luna, and Luna also wanted to play with Little Jiu, which was why Ren Suo had conveniently agreed.
But now, regardless of what they said, Ren Suo wouldn't agree to anything else. At least for this month, he would be a perfect cat servant. If Luna asked for sothing, he would comply. Even if she didn't ask, he would still play with Luna for at least an hour each day.
So Ren Suo emphasized, with seriousness in his voice, "You all know, I've been really off recently. I can't go into detail because, as you know, Ren Naiser is an expert peeping tom, and if I reveal any secrets that he could use to gossip..."
Lin Xianyu blinked. "What would happen?"
"I'd beco internet famous overnight," Ren Suo shot her an annoyed glance. "Grown-ups are talking; kids should eat their al quietly!"
Lin Xianyu's interjection almost wrecked Ren Suo's montum. He paused for a mont and then continued, "The reason I was able to break out of that state and find myself again was all thanks to you guys, and Luna played an indispensable part in it."
"Luna gave a lot of support, and for that, I have to keep my promise to play with her every day, to love her." Ren Suo sat upright, his expression earnest, his tone pleading, "Regardless, I'll make ti for her. I Hope you can understand."
The Black Cat owed, jumped out of Lin Xianyu's arms, lightly stepped onto the dining table before leaping onto Ren Suo's head, tilting its head and looking at everyone with a blankly cute expression.
Actually, Ren Suo had a hunch that, aside from Gu Yueyan, the other three girls were sowhat resistant to Luna.
After all, "those who are not of our kind have different minds." If it were another ti, they might have been happy to make friends with Luna. But Luna was here to steal their man, so it would be strange for them to show her a friendly face.
Gu Yueyan had a good relationship with Luna because of their shared experience on "The Dark Side of the Moon," having lived together and fought alongside each other. But the other girls didn't have this kind of experience with Luna, nor did they know her before, so it was normal for them not to accept her.
However, as ti went on, the relationship between Dong Chengling, Ren Xingi, and Luna also gradually improved. Qiao Muyi, although not exactly friendly towards Luna, didn't dislike her either; she was just indifferent.
The reason Ren Suo made such a formal statent was actually to make his stance clear: regardless of whether Luna was a demon or a human, he, Ren Suo, would treat Luna as his bona fide girlfriend (one of them).
Whether you hate her or like her, you at least can't stop them from seeing each other normally.
It wasn't that Ren Suo favored Luna, but he was deeply grateful to all five of them.
Now, as he looked back, he felt a chill—had it not been for the quintuple date on the 20th, which completely corrected Rational Ren Suo's silly idea of "swearing not to rely on a girlfriend" and "my life is determined by , not by the heavens," Ren Suo might now be locked inside the Door of Truth, turned into a fossil.
At present, Ren Suo was unable to repay Luna for anything; even fathering a child seed difficult. But he still had to give what was due, such as the treatnt of a girlfriend, and the Freedom to love.
Dong Chengling, Qiao Muyi, Gu Yueyan, and Ren Xingi looked at each other. Gu Yueyan smiled first and said, "It should be so. After observing these days, I believe you're not that kind of perverted person."
Could she please remove the word 'that'...?
Ren Xingi also said, "Brother, don't think Luna only has you. She's already a VTB now, and maybe she can support you with in the future."
Although Ren Suo didn't understand why his sister always considered supporting him as a premise when thinking about things, he didn't dislike her way of thinking.
Qiao Muyi said to Dong Chengling, "To repay kindness and reciprocate love is only natural. Chengling, there are so things you can stop for a while, but not for a lifeti."
Qiao Muyi's words were an indirect jab, but Dong Chengling countered with an airy dismissal, "I only need to stop it temporarily. If I can stop it for a while, then maybe it will last a lifeti?"
Ignoring Qiao Muyi, whose teeth were itching with irritation, Dong Chengling slowly added, "Luna has now basically learned the details and basic common sense that humans should be aware of, and she has made many friends, too. If Luna wants to go ho with you, Suo, I have no objection."
"I was just worried that if Luna spends too much ti with you, she would also beco a hobody... I don't an to criticize your lifestyle, but your way of living is not conducive to Luna, in her naive understanding of the world, expanding her horizons and growing.
"Now that Luna has her own hobbies and friends, whatever she wants to do, I won't interfere."
Upon hearing this, Ren Suo was overjoyed. He took the Black Cat down from his head and said with a laugh, "Luna, you need to practice your Cultivation quickly and reach the state of maintaining your human form for 24 hours as soon as you can!"
However, the Black Cat just shook its head and said in a milkily cute voice, "VTB, Luna wants to pretend to be a human and be a VTB broadcaster, ow~"
Ren Suo didn't know why the Black Cat liked being a virtual broadcaster. Perhaps it found the idea of pretending to be a human and deceiving humans as a cat interesting?
Ren Suo thought about it seriously and felt it really was quite interesting. If he traveled back in ti, he would certainly disguise himself as an ordinary person of the past. Then, relying on the revolutionary Wisdom of the era, he'd instigate a rebellion to recreate a golden age, establish a palace with three halls, six courtyards, and seventy-two concubines, and earn the admiration of the masses and eternal fa...
The feeling of 'I've disguised myself as one of you and fooled you into liking , admiring , following ' is indeed very exhilarating.
Luna wanted to beco a virtual strear, and Ren Suo didn't mind at all. In fact, he even wanted to transform into Luna and pretend to be a virtual strear a couple of tis to trick people out of gifts and tips.
Haha, bet you didn't see that coming; your gifts were actually going to a man!
Ren Suo could already feel the fun that the Black Cat derived from this.
At this mont, Dong Chengling said, "Besides, Suo, it's only right for you to keep your promise. I have no reason to interfere with you two."
Qiao Muyi said with a beaming smile, "Yes, yes, Xiao Suo, you've finally beco an upright man whose word is his bond! How wonderful!"
Ren Suo was delighted, but the very next second, Qiao Muyi added, "Since you, Xiao Suo, are willing to keep your promise, shouldn't we settle our accounts?"
"...What what what?"
Qiao Muyi raised her phone, her eyes brimming with a smile, and proudly looked around at the others, asking, "Xiao Suo, it was you who begged to travel with , right? I didn't cancel those two plane tickets, and I also haven't bought return tickets. How about we think about coming back after a month of fun in Flourishing Sakura?"
Ren Suo blinked, opened his mouth to agree, but then his sister stuffed a big hunk of stewed and mushy pig's trotter into his mouth.
"Bro, you also promised that we would be teammates for life, never to part even in old age." His sister squinted, revealing a dangerous smile. "We made a pinky promise: whoever breaks it has to hang themselves."
His sister paused, then stuffed another large prawn into Ren Suo's mouth. "We agreed on a lifeti. A year less, a month less, an hour less, even a second less doesn't count as a lifeti, you know."
Gu Yueyan pursed her lips, looking at Ren Suo with complicated feelings. Under the table, she removed both her shoes. Her small feet, clad in black silk stockings, reached out to pinch and press against him, almost ready to kick him. In a displeased tone, she said, "Mr. Suo, weren't we supposed to take an exam and do papers together? Leaving halfway through? Your exam tools will be confiscated, you know."
"Mmph mmph mmph..." Ren Suo was so stuffed with food he couldn't speak.
Dong Chengling, however, was still calm. She thodically served Qiao Muyi so food, saying, "Xiao Qiao, Yueyan, Xing i, like Suo, you are all adults now, so whatever you want to do is your Freedom."
"So, if I suddenly feel like seeing Suo, and want to 'loosen so soil for him, water him a little,' that's my Freedom... no matter what corner of Earth he is in."
Everyone's gaze instantly shifted to Dong Chengling—this was an outright threat!
With Dong Chengling around, she could whisk Ren Suo away whenever she wished, and they could do nothing about it!
Qiao Muyi was particularly aware of this. Just last night, she had almost taken Ren Suo back ho when she turned around and found that Ren Suo was gone—she even thought he had gotten a cramp in mid-air and fallen.
Unless they dealt with the Dong Chengling problem first, Ren Suo would always be at risk of disconnecting at any mont! If he suddenly vanished when things were getting passionate, who could they complain to?
"Cheng Ling," Qiao Muyi squinted, smiling, "You can't get fat eating alone, you know."
Dong Chengling slightly raised her eyebrows, thinking, If you could eat alone, Qiao Muyi, you'd probably lick the plate clean and not leave a crumb for . But considering her own good manners, Dong Chengling didn't put it so bluntly, rely saying, "It just so happens that I want to slim down a bit, preferably to be as thin as you, Xiao Qiao."
Gu Yueyan's face also turned sour. "Teacher, this isn't very nice, is it?"
"You can't want the Freedom to do as you please and also expect to adhere to the virtue of deference between teacher and student." Dong Chengling glanced at the commotion under the table and said gently, "Yueyan, one shouldn't have double standards like Xiao Qiao, you know."
Ren Xingi, on the other hand, had no reaction. As soone who could treat a minute as a thousand, she would have already had her fun by the ti Dong Chengling teleported Ren Suo away.
Yet the atmosphere at the dining table was becoming increasingly tense. Qiao Muyi seed to be steaming with vigor, almost as if a Demon King's silhouette was about to appear behind her. Dong Chengling was not intimidated at all, her entire being seed ethereal, as if she existed neither here nor on the other shore. Gu Yueyan's eyes sparkled, Moonlight emanating from them. Ren Xingi shifted her gaze, already formulating hundreds of interference plans in an instant.
At this tension-filled, stormy mont, Ren Suo finally finished the pig's trotter and the large prawn, and said loudly, "I've got a solution!"
Everyone looked at him. Ren Suo took a deep breath and looked at them seriously. "I have a way that can satisfy all your needs."
Really? Is that so?
Could it be a Cloning Technique? Qiao Muyi frowned slightly. She didn't mind if others didn't, but she only wanted the original and genuine True Form.
Could it be a Miracle? Thinking of this, Gu Yueyan's little feet movents slowed, gently rubbing Ren Suo's ankle, wondering what sort of Miracle could satisfy all their needs.
Could it be a ti-walking technique? Ren Xingi, who knew Ren Suo also possessed Ti Ability, thought of the Ti Converter in a hugely popular work, where the protagonist used it to attend multiple classes at once. So, Ren Suo could use a similar Ability to accompany several girlfriends at the sa ti, right?
Only Dong Chengling watched Ren Suo indifferently, not harboring any Hope in her heart—after having her Hopes dashed thrice the night before by Ren Suo, she had now learned her lesson.
Facing everyone's expectant eyes, Ren Suo coughed and said seriously, "My thod is—"
"Buy more plane tickets, and we all go together."
The dining table instantly fell into Silence.
Ren Suo's heart skipped a beat.
While gnawing on the pig's trotter, he had co up with this Perfect solution.
Wasn't this a way to satisfy everyone's needs?
Was there really no one in agreent?
Of course, there was~!
The very next second, a girl agreed with Ren Suo's proposal—
"Can listeners get a share too!?" Lin Xianyu raised her hand high, saying excitedly.
