Mini World Game Console-Chapter 640 - 641: Come, Call Mom [Second Release]

In the restaurant, Ren Suo held Luna in his arms at the table, contemplating how to clear up the misunderstandings Moon Singer 88 had about him.

Moon Singer 88 says that I'm not nice to 'me', so does that mean I just need to be nice to Luna?

Should I build her a castle-grade cat den? Tonight, I'll search for the blueprints, and my clones can finish it quickly.

After Qiao Muyi finished ordering, she curiously looked at him and the Black Cat and asked, "What's this cat's name?"

Ren Suo paused, pondered for a moment, and said, "Her name is... Luna."

He thought about it and decided not to hide Luna's name, since he would have to introduce her to his family after returning home. Besides, Luna hated it when he called her 'Black Bell'... so he had to start addressing her correctly now.

"Luna... Luna?" Qiao Muyi raised her eyebrows slightly and tapped on the table. "That name sounds so familiar..."

Ren Suo shrugged, glanced at the nearby diners, and said, "It's the name of the Moon Chanter."

"And also the name of the person you were once married to," Qiao Muyi said, looking at him with a teasing expression, but her eyes held no amusement.

Ren Suo naturally didn't dare to utter a peep. He now had no right to say, 'It was just role-playing'—even if it was an act back then, it had now become very real.

Qiao Muyi didn't press the issue, just said with a hint of exasperated amusement, "Do you really need to name your cat after her too?"

"No, this cat isn't actually mine. Her name has always been Luna..." Ren Suo briefly explained Luna's origin and added, "Luna is a name for the Moonlight Goddess, it's quite common."

Qiao Muyi curiously looked at the Black Cat in Ren Suo's arms and reached out to pet her. Luna instinctively raised a paw to swat Qiao Muyi's hand away, but after one stern look from Qiao Muyi, Luna obediently lowered her paw and allowed herself to be petted.

Luna, you'll need to sleep well and cultivate diligently if you want to rebel against this Catastrophe Witch, Ren Suo thought.

"Hmm... what a peculiar coincidence." Qiao Muyi withdrew her hand and glanced at Ren Suo. "You aren't going to do anything to the cat, are you?"

Ren Suo's heart skipped a beat. Of course, he hadn't done anything to Luna, at least not to her cat form... But if she pressed him for an answer, he would definitely feel guilty...

So Ren Suo took a deep breath and said with a smile, "How could I possibly do anything to a cat?"

Yes, he definitely wouldn't do anything *to a cat*. That was the absolute truth.

Qiao Muyi had only asked casually. Even with her vivid imagination, she couldn't have guessed that Ren Suo was actually keeping a Cat Girl who could transform at will... It was simply too fantastical.

So Qiao Muyi continued to chat casually with Ren Suo, "I suspect you're raising a Cat Girl." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Ren Suo blinked, unsure if Qiao Muyi had figured something out, and could only say honestly, "Actually, I'm not just raising a Cat Girl; I'm also raising a Nine-Tailed Fox..."

"Oh, please! Why don't you also claim to be a descendant of the Ren Family? After all, your surname is Ren."

Just then, their food arrived. Qiao Muyi picked up a slice of grilled beef tongue and brought it to Ren Suo's mouth, saying, "Open wide, AAH~"

"MEOW~" Luna chirped.

Perhaps the sight of the trio—two humans and a cat—was too eye-catching. Many diners couldn't help but glance their way, then reluctantly turn back to their meals. Can't that guy just drop dead?

Some fans who recognized Qiao Muyi as a Transcendent being couldn't resist taking pictures with their phones. They then held even higher hopes for Ren Suo: Could that guy transform into a Demon right now and be blown up by Goddess Qiao Muyi? Or perhaps Goddess Qiao Muyi is actually feeding him something vile, and he'll explode on the spot after eating enough, staging a brilliant play of outsmarting a creep?

Regardless of what others thought, after the pair and their cat finished their sweet lunch, they got into the car and headed towards Baiyun.

「 」

Baiyun City, 4:30 PM, Longkou District wet market.

Holding a basket, Ren's mother finished her shopping. As she was about to leave, she saw an acquaintance at the entrance and went up to greet him, "Xiao Hai, buying groceries too? Get some more choi sum; it's very cheap and good today."

"Hello, Auntie," Ning Hai replied with a smile. "My family doesn't really like leafy greens..."

"It's your sister who doesn't like them, right?" Ren's mother insightfully pierced through his lie. "Your sister is too picky. Don't spoil her so much."

"She eats a lot of fruit, and I also make sure she gets enough dietary fiber," Ning Hai explained with a smile. Ren's mother didn't press further. She knew that Ning Hai's sister, who had been disabled, had her legs healed when the Three Gods Priest Zhao Zili descended to the mortal world to offer salvation. Now the girl was back in school, and Ning Hai doted on her completely.

Ren's mother, with her typical middle-aged woman's habit of nagging, immediately switched to gossip, "Got a girlfriend yet? Planning to get married?"

"I'm far from that. Right now, I'm focused on working hard to support my family," Ning Hai said, waving his hand dismissively. "What about Ren Suo? Has he found a good girl in Baiyun?"

"About that..." Ren's mother looked a bit awkward.

Ren Suo could find a good girl, but he's already turned into such a melodramatic scumbag that even I feel estranged from him... I don't know how to describe it. And he still acts like a naive rookie when it comes to relationships, so I don't even know how to begin to guide him.

Just then, another neighbor came over and said, "Oh, Auntie Ren, Little Suo hasn't found a girlfriend yet?"

"No," Ren's mother shook her head. It's better to say he's just a lonely bachelor than to admit my son is a potential scumbag.

But then she noticed the neighbor was actually Auntie Ba and immediately said, "I need to rush home to cook. Bye now!"

"No rush, it's not even five o'clock. I've finished my shopping too, let's walk back together." Auntie Ba quickly caught up and said, "Auntie Ren, Little Suo graduated a year ago, didn't he? Isn't it time he settled down and started a family?"

"Not yet, he's still young. He should focus on his career for a few more years..."

"You can't say that. 'Settle down and establish a career'—you settle down first, then establish the career. Young people always talk about striving, only looking ahead without considering the responsibilities of a family. But if they settle down, they'll naturally be more cautious in their thinking. As parents, don't we just hope for a stable future for them?"

"My son isn't very mature psychologically..."

"He'll mature after he gets married," Auntie Ba said proudly. "Look at my Junjie. He met a beautiful, well-off, polite, and considerate classmate in college. They got married right after graduation, and now both of them are Cultivators..."

Ren's mother felt a throbbing headache—she still couldn't escape Auntie Ba's boasting!

In the Yuhui Garden Community on Lihua Avenue in Longkou District, Ren's mother was undoubtedly a top figure among all the neighborhood elders—she had a son who was a Cultivator in Baiyun! Recently, her son had even appeared on the Third-stage Combat Power rankings, which was truly impressive!

However, she wasn't without rivals. Auntie Ba, for instance, was currently the only one who could overshadow her—a supreme figure whose son and daughter-in-law were *both* Cultivators! Not only that, but her daughter-in-law was also a beautiful heiress, and their wedding had been a grand affair!

Her son married a beautiful, wealthy Cultivator. What about my son?

Consequently, Ren's mother seldom engaged in boastful chats anymore, as she couldn't outshine Auntie Ba. Whenever Auntie Ba saw her, she would immediately approach to preach the importance of settling down, inevitably followed by a verbal assault flaunting her daughter-in-law. Unable to withstand it, Ren's mother had no choice but to quicken her pace and head home.

But Auntie Ba, having caught Ren's mother alone, wasn't about to let her go. She followed Ren's mother animatedly, chattering and boasting, feeling as light as a feather and walking with a spring in her step.

When they reached their apartment building in the community, Ren's mother finally breathed a sigh of relief. Auntie Ba, however, seemed reluctant to stop, saying, "We're all just waiting for Little Suo's wedding banquet... Huh? Isn't that Little Suo?"

Just my luck, you pick now to come back? No, this is good too. You need to experience some of the agony I've been through these past few days. That'll teach you the importance of choosing a wife soon...

However, when Ren's mother looked over, she suddenly froze.

A black car was parked downstairs from Building 5. Ren Suo was getting out, holding a Black Cat. Seeing Ren's mother and Auntie Ba from a distance, he also froze for a moment. "Mom? Auntie Ba?" he called out.

"Hmm?"

Just then, a stunningly beautiful woman with an elegant figure and refined aura emerged from the driver's seat. She walked over to Ren Suo, took his arm, and together they approached Ren's mother and Auntie Ba. "Hello, Auntie," she greeted.

Auntie Ba asked curiously, "Auntie Ren, who is this...?"

Ren's mother, of course, recognized Qiao Muyi. They had interacted many times: during the Winter Solstice dinner, and when Ren Suo was unconscious and being transferred to another hospital. They were not strangers at all.

But Ren Suo only woke up yesterday, and today he's already brought Qiao Muyi home with him!?

This boy! His speed, his efficiency, his skill... he's not one bit inferior to his father!

But what are they...?

Ren's mother didn't look at her foolish son; instead, she focused all her attention on Qiao Muyi.

She noticed that Qiao Muyi was holding Ren Suo's arm naturally, yet Qiao Muyi's eyes were fixed on her nervously, filled with a cautious desire to please.

Previously, although Qiao Muyi had always been respectful and eager to please Ren's mother, she had never been *this* nervous.

Having lived for several decades, Ren's mother could naturally see that Qiao Muyi's nervousness and caution concealed a specific request she had of her.

Almost instantly, Ren's mother understood Qiao Muyi's intentions.

She decided to play along with Qiao Muyi's unspoken plea!

And... Ren's mother glanced at Auntie Ba, feeling a primal force surging within her that simply had to be unleashed.

She absolutely could not miss this opportunity! It had to be now!

Ren's mother said nonchalantly, "Oh, her? She's the Deputy Director of the Lianjiang City Countermeasures Bureau. She's also ranked fourth on that, um, what's-it-called leaderboard, a role model for Cultivators nationwide!"

"So impressive!?" Auntie Ba exclaimed, looking at Qiao Muyi and Ren Suo in shock, her tone involuntarily tinged with envy. "Then your son and her..."

Suddenly, Ren's mother gazed intently at Qiao Muyi and sighed, "I'm not your 'Auntie.'"

The other three were instantly stunned. But before their expressions could change, Ren's mother's face broke into an affectionate smile, and she said cheerfully, "Calling me 'Auntie' is too formal, Little Yi Yi. Come now, call me Mom."
