Mini World Game Console-Chapter 633 - 634: Title: The Man of Qiao Muyi【Second Release】

When Qiao Muyi scolded him, Ren Suo didn't dare to say a single word. He just held her carefully like a little cat, his loving, pleading eyes softening her heart.

She had long known that she didn't really have a way to deal with this guy.

With a grunt, she said, "I'm tired of scolding. Let's go out to eat."

Qiao Muyi touched Ren Suo's stomach. "You came here right after being discharged from the hospital, didn't you eat anything? You can't binge eat right after being discharged... Never mind, let's go out and eat something nice."

Ren Suo blinked. "How did you know I just got discharged?"

"Who do you think reimbursed your medical expenses?" Qiao Muyi pinched Ren Suo's face, saying irritably, "You fainted in the academy. Reimbursement should have been the academy's responsibility, but their process is so cumbersome, and we couldn't tell the truth about your situation. Since your Cheng Ling and Bai Ji aren't in management, I transferred it directly to the Tactical Bureau. After all, you're still considered a Tactical Bureau cultivator... And you still have to pick up your thesis work for me."

"The moment you got discharged, the medical department sent the bill to the bureau. It's something I pay special attention to; I get notified even if I'm not at work."

Ren Suo let out an 'oh' and discreetly massaged Qiao Muyi's back, asking, "Then why did you hang up on me and block me?"

Ren Suo's skills, finally perfected through practical training in The Dark Side of the Moon, eased Qiao Muyi's expression, though their effectiveness was limited by their current position. Less anger and more charm appeared in her eyes as she lazily said, "Do I need a reason to block you?"

"You were so heroic in The Dark Side of the Moon, showing off in front of Gu Yueyan, risking your life for another girl. Really impressive, really amazing, huh? Did you even think about how worried I was looking at your body for those seven days?"

"When I heard about your glorious deeds from Yueyan, I wanted to pull out your IV and let you starve to death."

"I wasn't the least bit happy when you woke up. I hate you, so I blocked you. Is that not okay? As if you were afraid I wasn't angry enough, you actually came here directly to annoy me…"

Although Qiao Muyi said that, Ren Suo also heard her warning echoing in his mind: If you don't come to me after I block you, you're really done for.

Ren Suo secretly wiped away a cold sweat, relieved that he had prioritized Qiao Muyi and rushed over directly. Otherwise...

Ren Suo didn't know what would happen if Qiao Muyi got truly angry, but at the very least, he didn't want this girl to suffer any more because of him.

"I don't know any good places to eat around here. You lead the way."

"Let's drive to Zhengjia Plaza. Wait for me; I'll touch up my makeup."

When Qiao Muyi returned, she hadn't changed out of her clothes or slippers. She just picked up the keys from the table and headed out. That was when Ren Suo noticed the bento box she had taken out earlier, asking, "What about this bento box?"

"Give it to Xiao Suo," Qiao Muyi said from the bedroom.

It took Ren Suo a full two seconds to grasp the real meaning behind her words. He cast a glance at the oblivious orange cat, pointed at the bento box, and meowed softly.

The orange cat frowned, sensing the situation was not simple, and meowed plaintively at Ren Suo.

Ren Suo spread his hands and shook his head, indicating he was powerless to help.

The orange cat meowed again.

Ren Suo said loudly, "I heard that if cats eat human food, they might think other things you eat at home are their food too. They could come over to steal a bite or knock over your dishes."

At that moment, Qiao Muyi came out of the bedroom, having changed into a cooler outfit—February in Lianjiang really had no respect for the Spring Festival; it was quite hot.

"It's fine." Qiao Muyi glanced at the orange cat, squatted down to pet it, and said, "It wouldn't dare."

The orange cat affectionately nuzzled Qiao Muyi and even lay down to expose its plump belly, letting Qiao Muyi stroke it to her heart's content.

Ren Suo couldn't help but shake his head—what a sycophantic cat, far different from the Black Bell one downstairs.

"Xiao Suo, let's go," Qiao Muyi called out from the doorway to Ren Suo.

"Coming, coming!" Ren Suo quickly used "Ghostly Rapid Step" to rush over and take Qiao Muyi's hand.

Qiao Muyi's car seemed to be provided by the Tactical Bureau. It appeared that Ren Suo was the only one in his circle of friends who couldn't drive, but he didn't mind; after all, he could always hitch a ride.

When the two headed to Zhengjia Plaza, however, they encountered some trouble—someone recognized Qiao Muyi.

Compared to Ren Suo, Qiao Muyi's fame was much higher.

She was the fourth-ranked Female Cultivator on the Third-turn Combat Power Rankings, but since the top three were male, she was also the strongest Third-Stage Female Cultivator from Mysterious Country!

Various women's-focused public accounts and news platforms almost without exception created viral articles for Qiao Muyi, making her a new idol and representative of the modern woman in Mysterious Country.

Her popularity was even higher than the top three because they were military cultivators who only gave scripted interviews. In contrast, Qiao Muyi interacted with people naturally and adeptly handled encounters with fans on the street. That was why her own official Weibo account already had millions of followers.

Of course, for professional reasons, Qiao Muyi couldn't capitalize on this popularity for profit. Even if she wanted to harvest the 'stupidity tax' from her fans, she had to apply for government approval, as she was currently representing the face of national public servants.

But on the other hand, as long as Qiao Muyi wished and the government approved, she could debut as an officially recognized idol and become a Transcendent Goddess without a doubt.

With Qiao Muyi's popularity and status, she could definitely become a megastar within a few years, as long as she could passably sing, dance, and act. All her variety show appearances would get the green light—although she definitely wasn't willing.

She barely has time for cultivation and dating now, let alone singing, acting, and dancing?

Surrounded by fans in the mall, Qiao Muyi wasn't nervous at all. She graciously signed autographs and took pictures with fans, as graceful as a true celebrity.

The only problem was, she held onto Ren Suo's hand the whole time.

When they finally sat down in the Japanese restaurant, the manager came out and offered Qiao Muyi a complimentary meal, but with a small request: he hoped to take a photo of Qiao Muyi dining.

Ren Suo thought Qiao Muyi would refuse, as she didn't care much for such trivial favors, but Qiao Muyi agreed.

It took Ren Suo a good while to realize, and he said with a mix of amusement and exasperation, "You deliberately brought me into the picture, didn't you?"

Looking back, Ren Suo noticed several things. Qiao Muyi had taken him to a crowded mall, held his hand without letting go during photos, and even chosen a seat facing the street for dining. Qiao Muyi clearly wanted to increase their public exposure!

Qiao Muyi glanced at him, propped her face with her palms, elbows on the table, and flashed an irresistibly cute smile. "Yes~ I~ did~"

"You wouldn't swear to keep yourself safe, nor swear to love only me, so what could I do?" Qiao Muyi's eyes crinkled, a playful shimmer in their depths. "I'm~ also~ very~ desperate~ you know~"

"Can I just not care about you? Can I just not love you?" Qiao Muyi lifted her teacup to take a sip and said, "So I have to achieve my goal in my own way."

"I will become stronger and more famous, and you will appear in the public eye alongside me."

Qiao Muyi's fox-like eyes fixated on Ren Suo. She chuckled lightly and said, "Let's see who would dare to bully you then. Who would dare to take you away?"

Ren Suo tugged at the corners of his mouth and muttered, not very confidently, "I'm very strong and don't need your protection…"

You *are* strong, but I just don't want you to take risks.

Qiao Muyi knew Ren Suo's strength better than anyone; she knew that he possessed some ability akin to predicting the future or weaving fate.

With such an ability, Ren Suo couldn't be weak, no matter how weak he might seem.

But it all depended on who Ren Suo was compared to. Last time he faced six Fourth-Stage Cultivators and several hundred Transcendents; this time he was facing elusive and unpredictable Foreign Deities—was this TM something Ren Suo could meddle in?

But he *was* involved!

Upon slight reflection, Qiao Muyi realized Ren Suo had been involved in several mystic events: the Secret Realm, the Fairy Palace Food God, the assassination attempt on Princess Yuffie of England, Fate Live Broadcast, the escape of the Demon King, and the Moon Chanter's trial.

Although it was inevitable for a Transcendent like Ren Suo to come into contact with mystic events, he actively participated in many of them! He was using his abilities to reap benefits in these mysterious incidents!

Qiao Muyi wasn't trying to stop Ren Suo from profiting from mystic events; in fact, she also noticed that most of the time, he emerged unscathed.

That was, assuming the people Ren Suo knew weren't in danger.

Once someone he knew was in danger, his abilities seemed to fail, and then he would stubbornly forge his own destiny alone—that's what Qiao Muyi was worried about.

The one she wanted to protect was that stubborn Ren Suo who might go and never return.

However, Ren Suo's experiences were so mystifying that even if Qiao Muyi was willing to be by his side all the time, she might not be able to stop him—this time Ren Suo got involved in the trial just by being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

So, Qiao Muyi could only choose other ways to protect him, such as making both of them famous together.

When Ren Suo was in a coma, Qiao Muyi had already made up her mind.

One day, she would make the title "Qiao Muyi's man" Ren Suo's greatest talisman.

At the same time, it would be an Exorcism charm to suppress his romantic entanglements.

After a satisfying meal, Ren Suo held Qiao Muyi's small hand as they headed to the parking lot. When they reached the car door, Qiao Muyi let go of his hand and said leisurely, "That's far enough. You can leave me here."

Ren Suo's eyes widened. He blinked. "There are no trains back to Baiyun City now, you know?"

"You could just go sleep at the academy; you have your keys, right? Or you could stay in a hotel nearby," Qiao Muyi said, leaning against the car door with a smile as she looked at him.

"Or maybe go to your home…"

Before Ren Suo could finish speaking, Qiao Muyi wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him close. Wearing a sly smile, she parted her rose-red lips slightly. "Do you want to sleep with me?"

It would be a lie to say he didn't. Ren Suo wanted to wrap his arms around Qiao Muyi's slender waist, but she smacked his hand away firmly. Continuing with a teasing smile, she said, "Sure. As long as you promise to love only me, go with me to the Civil Affairs Bureau to sign some documents tomorrow, and break off your relationships with them."

"Erm..."

"Come on. As long as you're willing to lie to me, I'd say you passed the test."

Ren Suo struggled for a bit, but eventually, he hung his head in defeat and dropped his hands. He couldn't lie to Qiao Muyi, nor to himself.

Qiao Muyi snorted twice, released him, got into the car, and waved her hand at him and said, "You're done confessing, and now you want to jump straight to shaking the bed with me? You wish, Xiao Suo."

"Even if you truly agreed, I'd still have to test you for a few months, take you around to show off in front of Chengling Yue Yan. You really think just because I like you, I'd let go of all restraint? The subway station is up ahead. I hope you have a pleasant evening. Goodbye~"

「Streams of cars all the way.」

When Qiao Muyi got home, the orange cat, Xiao Suo, immediately came over to greet her and seek affection. She sat on the couch holding the cat, then glanced at the diary lying on the glass coffee table.

Indeed, she was the only one who could see this diary; not even Xiao Suo, the original owner, could see it.

Qiao Muyi didn't feel particularly regretful about that. After all, Ren Suo liked her now. Letting him see the contents of the diary would only make him like her a little more, but it wouldn't sever his connections with other women.

However, she really wanted to share this secret with him.

Qiao Muyi put down the orange cat, placed the bento box in the fridge, filled Xiao Suo's food bowl to the brim with cat food, then went to take a shower.

After undressing and standing under the showerhead, Qiao Muyi closed her eyes, letting the warm water wash over her face and body, feeling the streams flow along her hair and smooth skin.

She had actually lied.

If Ren Suo really agreed, she wouldn't care about restraint at all.

She wanted to shower with Ren Suo until they couldn't hold back; she wanted to rock the bed with Ren Suo until the dawn light pierced the window.

Qiao Muyi didn't even dare to let Ren Suo stay at her place because she was afraid she couldn't resist. If she couldn't, then she might lose the chance to have Ren Suo all to herself. For now, if Ren Suo merely acted cute or pitiful, she found herself relenting step by step.

If Ren Suo truly became hers, then he'd have another way to reach the depths of her soul with those endearing tactics. How could she possibly resist then?

After showering and wrapped in a towel, Qiao Muyi looked at herself in the full-length mirror. She was an unadorned, fresh beauty, and her smile alone could captivate the heart. Damp hair cascaded over her shoulders, and water droplets on her fair skin shimmered enticingly. The casually draped towel was unable to conceal her curvaceous figure.

Qiao Muyi wasn't narcissistic; she just found it all a bit funny.

Men sacrifice to pursue beauty, while women sacrifice to obtain men. And the most remarkable thing about women is that they don't even consider it a sacrifice.

After an hour on the subway back to Heavenly Lotus Academy, Ren Suo finally gained control over the restlessness within him.

I should head back, take a cold shower to calm down. As long as I don't open that group chat on QQ and see things that would arouse me, I should be fine!

Greeting the academy security guards, he noticed the place was deserted, as most had already headed home.

Arriving at the base of the dorm building, Ren Suo glanced at the steps and looked around, seeking a certain black and red figure.

Where's that cat?
