Mini World Game Console-Chapter 639 - 640: It’s More Like I’m Supporting You

After cleaning, Yi Zhao naturally took two big bags of garbage downstairs to throw them away.

When he left the elevator and walked out of the building, he naturally saw the black sedan parked at the entrance, saw the silhouette inside the car, saw the appearance of the two people, and glimpsed what they were doing.

So, he abruptly halted his steps as if he had seen nothing and turned around to walk back inside the building.

However, at that moment, a voice that could only be described as the nightmare of the Tactical Bureau easily penetrated his eardrums, awakening the fear in his heart. "Yi Zhao, long time no see."

Realizing he couldn't escape, Yi Zhao helplessly turned around and walked to the car. He glanced at Ren Suo, who was pretending to be dumb with his eyes wide open, his face flushed like fire. Then he looked at Qiao Muyi, who was adjusting her collar nonchalantly, her cheeks aglow.

He pondered the tone of his voice, then slowly said, "I wish you both harmony and a son soon..."

Ren Suo's face stiffened—that was exactly the teasing remark he had just made about Yi Zhao and Fan Qiyu!

But he had heard from Luna that they had been exercising early in the morning. Yi Zhao, on the other hand, had directly seen them being affectionate in the car... Ren Suo felt like he had lost!

But Ren Suo was mistaken. Yi Zhao wouldn't dare tease them. He didn't want to risk his life.

Qiao Muyi's reputation in the Tactical Bureau was not merely due to her sharp tongue.

Beneath her sharp tongue lay her terrifying gossip intelligence ability—she had excellent relationships with all the Female Cultivators in the bureau, forming a network of intelligence that could cover the entire Lianjiang.

She was not just infuriating for the sake of it, but did so with reason and evidence, provoking you in a way that you wouldn't dare retaliate. Previously, few could beat her, and now it was official: throughout Lianjiang, apart from the Fourth-Stage Cultivator Dong Chengling, no one else could certainly beat her.

The male colleagues at the Tactical Bureau shivered and trembled at the mere mention of Qiao Muyi, not even daring to breathe loudly. Only Yu Kuangtu and Li Dan could face Qiao Muyi head-on. Yu Kuangtu could barely beat her, though since he started dating, he generally avoided Qiao Muyi. Li Dan, however, was not afraid at all, as he was upright and clean, without a single flaw to exploit.

Many secretly suspected if Qiao Muyi had a disdain for men. If that were true, then they were left with no choice but to keep themselves clean to reduce their likelihood of being attacked.

Previously, Yi Zhao also had some doubts about Qiao Muyi and Ren Suo's relationship, but he never dared to confirm it. Perhaps Qiao Muyi was just playing with Ren Suo's genuine feelings?

He thought it highly likely, considering Ren Suo looked just like someone who would be easily toyed with by many girls.

It was only now, seeing them being intimate, that Yi Zhao was convinced that Devil Head Qiao Muyi had finally laid down her butcher's knife and fallen in love. He felt a great relief and silently thanked Ren Suo on behalf of the male colleagues in the Tactical Bureau for sacrificing himself to feed the demon.

Yi Zhao's blessing was indeed sincere, filled with his hope for their everlasting love.

"Thank you," Qiao Muyi generously accepted Yi Zhao's blessing. "Zhang Lei, who succeeded you as team captain, is doing quite well."

"Of course, even if I hadn't stepped down, he would eventually have..."

They started talking about some mundane matters at the Tactical Bureau, with Ren Suo quietly listening between them. Suddenly, Qiao Muyi asked with some concern, "How has it been moving here? Are you getting along well with the neighbors?"

"Everyone in the academy is nice, thank you for your concern."

"That's good to hear. Neighborly relations are very important, remember to communicate more with your neighbors," Qiao Muyi tapped on the steering wheel without looking at Yi Zhao, seemingly speaking casually.

But people in the Tactical Bureau, especially the men who had experienced Qiao Muyi's sharp tongue, more or less knew of her preliminary move before an Attack: tapping with her right index finger. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

If there was a table, she would tap on it. If not, she would cross her arms and tap her elbow.

Seeing Qiao Muyi's movement, Yi Zhao instinctively took a step back.

But Qiao Muyi didn't Attack him or continue talking.

Recalling Qiao Muyi's words, a strong survival instinct sparked an idea in Yi Zhao's mind. He said, "I will chat more with the neighbors about trivial and interesting matters of daily life."

Seeing Yi Zhao so tactful, Qiao Muyi nodded in satisfaction. "Okay, I won't disturb you while you're throwing out the trash. Ren Suo, buckle your seatbelt. We're about to leave."

Watching the car roar away, Yi Zhao sighed in relief, carrying the garbage bag to the disposal area. Qiao Muyi was really making an unnecessary fuss, he thought.

Was there really a need for him to announce to everyone at the academy that Ren Suo was now a married man? Was there anyone in the academy who would dare compete with Qiao Muyi for a man?

Even if someone dared to flirt with him, Ren Suo wouldn't dare mess around with other people behind Qiao Muyi's back!

"Where are we going?"

Ren Suo held Black Cat in his arms, gently rubbing its ears with his fingers, scratching its chin, and stroking its back. Black Cat was so comfortable that it closed its eyes and purred softly—a tiny rumble that, if translated into human speech, would be Luna saying, "Comfortable, so comfortable, don't stop."

"We're going out for lunch," said Qiao Muyi, navigating to what seemed to be a buffet restaurant. Ren Suo glanced at it and asked, "Can we bring the cat in?"

Qiao Muyi glanced at him and changed the destination to another restaurant.

"If we're just going to eat, there's no need for me to bring luggage, right?" Ren Suo picked up Black Cat, letting it nuzzle his face as he curiously asked, "I thought you were planning to take me on a trip..."

Qiao Muyi suddenly braked and stopped by the roadside, looking at Ren Suo with a peculiar expression for a while before asking after a long pause, "Did you bring your passport?"

"...My passport is at the academy," Ren Suo blinked. "I was just kidding..."

But Qiao Muyi didn't seem to take it as a joke, as she picked up her phone and started to check flight information...

"Don't get excited, Young Master Mu, I still have the cat with me!"

"I'll have Yao Fei take care of it."

He'd just said last night that he would take care of Luna, and now she wanted him to pass Luna off to someone else? Even he, Ren Suo, couldn't do something like that.

He scratched his head, quickly concocting an excuse, and said somewhat nervously, "But the New Year is in a few days. I need to go home for it; I can't go traveling."

Qiao Muyi put down her phone, giving Ren Suo a look of tender resentment. She asked softly, "Is it really not possible?"

Ren Suo looked at Qiao Muyi, hesitated for a moment, then silently took out his phone.

The disappointment in Qiao Muyi's eyes grew more pronounced, but she said nothing, opening the navigation on her phone to prepare to drive.

That's when Ren Suo suddenly said, "If we're going to Hokkaido today, why not take tonight's flight, sleep for eight or nine hours, and head straight to Sapporo? I can't find any direct flights to Sapporo, though. They all require transfers through Seoul, Tokyo, or Osaka..."

Qiao Muyi looked at him in surprise. "Didn't you say you weren't going?"

"I just instinctively refused because I've never been abroad..." Ren Suo hugged Black Cat, tilting his head as he looked at Qiao Muyi. "But since you mentioned it that way, I can't possibly refuse you... I can't keep refusing you again and again..."

Qiao Muyi leaned against the steering wheel, thought for a moment, and then shook her head, speaking softly, "Let's not. To be honest, I don't really want to..."

"Besides, after thinking about it seriously, I really want to go," Ren Suo revealed a smile, chuckling. "If we go to Hokkaido now, we can both ski and soak in the hot springs, enjoying the snow scenery while bathing in the hot springs... Right, you had talked to me about taking a trip in February before, and I was already tempted back then. It's just that at that time, our relationship wasn't like it is now. It seemed like it would be a bit awkward to travel together, and I'm not really the outgoing type..."

"But if it's with you, I really want to go."

Qiao Muyi stared at Ren Suo, asking, "Really?"

"Really."

"You're not lying to me?"

"I want to go to the hot springs with you… back-to-back, back-to-back." Ren Suo cautiously chose his words, then picked up Black Cat and said, "And she has to come with us too."

PFFT.

Qiao Muyi couldn't help but laugh, her eyes curving as she looked at Ren Suo, her lips curling into a smile without showing her teeth, her eyes full of allure. It made Ren Suo pause—Was the idea of traveling with a cat that funny?

Then Qiao Muyi started up the GPS on her phone, pressed the accelerator, and continued driving.

"Hey? Aren't we going to get the passport?"

"It would be useless; your passport doesn't have a visa," Qiao Muyi said with a laugh.

"Oh, right…" Ren Suo then remembered. "Getting a passport would take at least a week…"

Qiao Muyi said, "It wouldn't take that long through the Tactical Bureau's channels. A day would be enough."

Ren Suo blinked. "So… get it done tomorrow and leave tomorrow?"

"Not happening, not happening," Qiao Muyi said casually.

"Not happening?" Ren Suo was a bit disappointed then. "I actually also want to travel abroad… I've never been out of the country, and being from the south, I've never seen snow either…"

Hearing this, Qiao Muyi bit her lower lip and stared ahead, unsure of her feelings. After struggling for a while, she couldn't hold back anymore, suddenly braked hard to pull over, then turned around and kissed Ren Suo, Black Cat in Ren Suo's arms meowing from being squished between them.

It was quite a while before Qiao Muyi sat back to continue driving. Ren Suo, feeling a bit Depressed, wiped his mouth and asked, "Why so sudden…"

"I just wanted it." Perhaps from lack of oxygen or the excitement, Qiao Muyi's ears were flushed with an enticing pink, her voice carrying a hint of allure. She hummed twice. "That's just how I am. Any objections?"

"…No, no, I really like it." Ren Suo looked at Black Cat on the dashboard and, aiming to please, stretched out a hand to pinch her padded paw, then asked, "So we're really not going?"

"Not going. I don't want to have a back-to-back hot spring with you," Qiao Muyi said proudly.

Ren Suo's face froze, and he muttered, "Then we could soak separately…"

"That's not what I mean."

"Then what do you mean?"

"I want to be face-to-face with you in the hot springs, face-to-face when sleeping," Qiao Muyi said leisurely.

Ren Suo's eyes immediately lit up, and even Black Cat miaowed—a look she had seen before. It was the look Ren Suo had after his second transformation into human form, after which he had to resort to cold showers and taking matters into his own hands.

"But are you ready?" Qiao Muyi tapped on the steering wheel and said softly with a smile. "The last time I invited you, you didn't have this perverted look. I was planning to prepare for our marriage honeymoon after the trip… Are you ready?"

Ren Suo suddenly felt conflicted and couldn't help but pull out his phone to check if Zhao Huo had updated his status.

Ren Suo's reaction did not surprise Qiao Muyi, and she didn't mind it. She had been irritated for the past month, but as soon as Ren Suo woke up yesterday and came to find her, all her frustrations had vanished, just as he had cleansed all her Resentment for her in those seven days.

"You're not ready yet, so there wouldn't be much point in traveling. Let's not go," Qiao Muyi said, tapping the steering wheel again.

"Let's go next year."

"Oh." Ren Suo nodded silently, not minding too much. It sounded like one of Qiao Muyi's polite remarks, and he probably wouldn't get a chance to go in this lifetime, he thought.

Qiao Muyi glanced at Ren Suo discreetly and noticed he was a little down but didn't comfort him.

Her remark just now was more than just polite words.

If she really had to wait until next year, no matter whether Ren Suo was ready or not, she was prepared.

Of course, she couldn't tell him that.

"You're going back to Baiyun today, right? I'll drive you back," she offered.

Ren Suo blinked. "Isn't that too much trouble...? From Lianjiang to Baiyun is at least a two-hour drive. Don't you have work today?"

"An hour and a half might be enough," Qiao Muyi said indifferently. "I finished all my work this morning. As long as nothing happens this afternoon, skipping out won't be a problem."

"But what if something does happen?" Ren Suo asked like a true nitpicker at that moment.

"Then I'll lose my job and you'll have to support me," Qiao Muyi glanced at him.

Ren Suo blinked and blurted out instantly, "Sure!"

"Sure your big head, Ghost! I don't need you to support me," Qiao Muyi snorted. "It's more likely I'd be supporting you."

She continued, "As leaders, we should have some perks. Today's the 28th of the twelfth lunar month. I was on shift this morning while Yu Huogou rested, and this afternoon he's on shift while I rest. As long as there's always a Third-turn Cultivator in the office, it's fine," she explained.

Ren Suo nodded. He didn't think Qiao Muyi would easily break the rules—not because Qiao Muyi was particularly compliant, but if the risk and reward of breaking the rules weren't proportional, then Qiao Muyi definitely wouldn't do something so disadvantageous.

However, the reverse was also true. As long as the benefits were sufficient, Qiao Muyi would definitely quit the Tactical Bureau—for instance, if they dared to deny her marriage leave and honeymoon...

Since Qiao Muyi was willing to give him a ride back, Ren Suo didn't make it more complicated. He had planned to take a taxi with Luna back to Baiyun anyway. Hitching a ride with an acquaintance was naturally a lot more convenient.

And after heading back, he probably wouldn't see Qiao Muyi for the next half month, so spending a little more time with her was good.

When driving to the city center for dinner, Ren Suo naturally brought Black Cat along, and Qiao Muyi asked, "Should we specifically prepare some cat food?"

Ren Suo looked down at Black Cat, who meowed. He was somewhat surprised and said, "No need, she can eat the same things as us... Also, order her a cup of ice cream while you're at it."

"Cats can't taste sweetness, right?" Qiao Muyi too had picked up a bit of useless animal trivia.

"I don't know, but she seems to really enjoy the texture of ice cream," Ren Suo casually made up, although he was also quite amazed.

Luna had just told him that when she passed by the profiterole shop, she could smell the sweetness inside!

Ren Suo was shocked. After giving Qiao Muyi a vague answer, he continued to inquire and learned about the changes happening with Luna.

Ren Suo hadn't been able to borrow Luna's Ability "Master of Ethereal Dreams," but it proved Luna could use this Ability. So last night, while she was sleeping, she actually returned to the Silver Moon Crystal and met with Moon Chanter 88.

Moon Chanter seemed much more mature than Luna. As soon as Luna arrived, Moon Chanter had her cultivate in the Silver Moon Crystal. Ren Suo didn't know the details of Luna's Cultivation level, but it was definitely strong. That's why she could revert to human form so quickly—this was a Derived Skill she cultivated!

After she developed the Derived Skill, her true form also changed. Perhaps the method of dream Cultivation was greatly related to one's own desires. Thus, the sense of sweetness Luna had been obsessing over was obtained through her Supernatural Ability after sleeping the whole night!

Ren Suo couldn't help feeling somewhat short-changed—Sleeping and still being able to continue cultivating with Moon Chanter!

And to think there was such a thing as getting stronger by just lying down!

However, Moon Chanter didn't seem to have a high regard for him and completely refused to grant him the Ability "Master of Ethereal Dreams."

Alas, even though Moon Chanter 88 is Luna's clone, I don't know why she has such a big bias against me... I'm clearly a good person.
