Mini World Game Console-Chapter 691 - 692 Night Talk [Second Update]

"Do you understand what you did wrong?"

"I do."

"Will you do it again next time?"

"I will."

In the highest floor of Rift Fortress in the Outer World of the Didra Plane, within a warm and luxurious Royal Suite, the esteemed and great Didela Prince—at least he could be—was performing a plank. That is, he supported himself on his forearms and toes, keeping his spine, buttocks, and legs in a straight line, with his chest out and abdomen in—an extremely simple yet effective fitness exercise. It is said that Zhao Huo, that beast, could maintain this posture while watching several episodes of a new series without breaking a sweat.

However, Ren Suo had added a bit of difficulty for himself. For example, the various muscles on his back that could be used to place things—such as the deltoids, rhomboids, lower posterior serratus, erector spinae, and gluteus maximus—were all holding various dishes.

It had to be said, the Didela Prince's meals were sophisticated and complicated, a great multitude of small dishes. Ren Suo had enjoyed his meal immensely, slowly savoring the various delicacies as they blossomed in his mouth. Now, he wished he had just eaten a one-pot hotpot; at least that would be easier to carry!

With over a dozen plates on his back, Dong Chengling and Ren Xingmei were enjoying their meal beside him. He had to maintain the plank and stabilize the plates on his back, trying his best to play the role of a dining table.

Dong Chengling and Ren Xingmei said he had treated them as dining utensils just now. Now, as they ate, it was Ren Suo's turn to be a dining utensil, which seemed quite reasonable.

Hearing Ren Suo's honest answer, Dong Chengling raised an eyebrow, and Ren Xingmei snorted. Then they started their own conversation:

"The Didra people's meat seems similar to fish, chicken, and beef. It tastes somewhat similar."

"Yeah, even though their seasonings are quite different from those on Earth, the ultimate taste experience is still in line with Earthlings' tastes, only sweeter and with a preference for fried foods."

"We can eat it, and so far, we haven't felt much of a problem. It seems the Didra people's recipes are very suitable for humans. This one is quite delicious, like crab cheese."

"Really? I prefer this one. It's lighter in flavor and the texture is more tender..."

Since the two of them were chatting as if no one else were present, Ren Suo was glad to relax.

After all, he was a Third-turn Cultivator. Even though he hardly had any fitness habits, acting as a human dining table for a while was still more than manageable for him; he even had some spare energy to think.

Although Ren Suo had just been Prince Sony for one hour, the grand power of "A Different Life" had already given him profound experiences and lessons. Compared to "Life is Like a Play," the completely transformative "Empathy" was more terrifying. The former allows you to enjoy the pleasure of deceiving others through a third-person perspective, offering a myriad of faces and interactions. But the latter is completely different; it literally transforms you into the target in a first-person view. During "Life is Like a Play," Ren Suo was a casual actor, a mere observer. So, he could reject the advances of other women with a smile, knowing that they were attracted to Bai Ji's beauty and handsome appearance, not his own. Confident and self-respecting, Ren Suo didn't want to deceive anyone by using Bai Ji's face. But with "Empathy," everything changed. Even though Ren Suo knew he was Ren Suo, his appearance was Sony's, his thoughts were Sony's, his actions were Sony's, even his core values mirrored Sony's. It wasn't about acting or not. Ren Suo knew he was acting, but he had no concept of acting; everything was happening naturally. He felt like he was explaining to Los because that's how Sony would explain it. As a Didela Prince, even speaking a word to ordinary people like Los was a Blessing, let alone explaining in great detail, which was considered exceedingly fortunate. Under these circumstances, Sony's explanations were extremely profound.

After returning, it was the same. Although Ren Suo knew he needed to protect Dong Chengling and Ren Xingmei, so… he was protecting them, right? Protecting them, while nestled in the soft warmth of Cheng Ling's embrace, holding his sister like she was a plaything—was there any conflict in that? At least in Sony's worldview, there was absolutely no problem with that, so naturally, Ren Suo also felt, "I can."

By the time Ren Suo finished his bath and came out, as the saying goes, a full stomach and warm clothes lead to amorous thoughts. He turned his head to see Cheng Ling and his sister obediently lying on the bed, slightly indenting the soft, large bed.

Protecting them actually didn't conflict with many other things, so there was nothing else after that.

Although Ren Suo was thus despised by the only two Earthling women in this world and was punished to serve as a fitness dining table, he also learned the wonders of "A Different Life." Even though he almost completely became Sony under 'Empathy,' as soon as he reverted to his 'True Form,' his thoughts, values, and habits were completely corrected. It was as if a save file had been overwritten; not even a trace of Sony was left. If the two save files had mixed, and Ren Suo was truly tainted by Sony, he definitely wouldn't be admitting his mistake and serving as a fitness dining table. More likely, he would still be on the bed, energetically working up a youthful sweat and unable to get down...

"Quit shaking!" Ren Xingmei said grumpily. Ren Suo quickly took a deep breath to collect himself, interrupting those strange, bold fantasies in his head.

Dong Chengling glanced at Ren Suo, put down her knife and fork, and reached out to remove the bowls and plates from his back. Ren Xingmei blinked at Dong Chengling and also helped to clear this fitness dining table.

Were they angry? Yes, a little. Even if they hadn't understood Ren Suo's Didra language earlier, his lazy posture and arrogant demeanor were enough to reveal his self-importance. But were they still truly angry? Not really. Deep down, they knew Ren Suo had put on such a 'lifelike' act, a performance 'consistent inside and out,' primarily to protect them better...

Moreover, as soon as Ren Suo was clear-headed, he immediately used a cartridge to help them recover from their weakened state. However, this cartridge, while relieving their weakened state, also implanted a new weakened Status in them.

Unlike the previous Bloodline Cartridge weakened Status, the current weakened Status on their bodies would not activate under normal conditions. Ren Suo needed to manually control it. Even if it did activate, it wouldn't leave them completely immobile but would reduce their strength to only a third of a normal Earthling female.

Simply put, as soon as Ren Suo pressed the button on his belt, they could only manage soft little punches, which was rather amusing.

Black Thorn really did go to such lengths to please Prince Sony.

Of course, Ren Suo sternly declared that he was a man free from vulgar tastes, a noble man rich in amusement, and he would never press that button.

But with Ren Suo taking advantage of them like that, Dong Chengling and Ren Xingmei naturally had to assert their stance. It was one thing when he carried them like kittens during an emergency. But just now was no emergency, yet he was still casually holding and leaning on them, playing around while waiting for the maid to feed him!

Even knowing that Ren Suo might be influenced by the transformation, it didn't mean Dong Chengling and Ren Xingmei had to accept everything. It's like having a roommate who buys a loud, clicky mechanical keyboard to write. Other roommates might understand, even leave the dorm during the day or wear headphones to avoid the noise. But that doesn't mean they have to endure this clown of a roommate clacking away at one or two in the morning, even if he really is on a deadline!

Even if Ren Suo expressly stated that he might reoffend, they weren't planning to budge on this point. Ren Suo had to face the consequences and accept the punishment.

Whether as friends, siblings, or lovers, maintaining a healthy and good relationship depends on mutual respect and self-love from both parties, not on one side's concessions. They could tolerate Ren Suo's mistakes in emergencies, but they would never unconditionally accept his other errors. This would not only upset them but also make Ren Suo more presumptuous and push his luck further.

Surprisingly, the thoughtful Ren Xingmei and the simple-minded Dong Chengling reached a consensus on this.

Moreover, they had experienced a series of drastic changes today and were actually quite emotionally overwhelmed, a mix of excitement and stress. They were first attacked by enemies from another world, then forcibly captured and taken to an Otherworld. This single night was more turbulent than an ordinary person's entire lifetime. Even though Ren Suo was always by their side protecting them, and even though Dong Chengling and Ren Xingmei were both girls of strong Tenacity, they still harbored unease and anxiety they couldn't process on their own. Now that Ren Suo had given them an outlet, they naturally accepted his 'kindness.'

However, seeing Ren Suo's good attitude in admitting his guilt, Dong Chengling and Ren Xingmei soon interrupted the punishment. "Get up and sit properly, Suo. Are you sure you're safe like this? If it's dangerous, you should change back."

Ren Suo obediently sat on the carpet and shook his head. "I am now Sony, the Didela Prince. Sony checked the room before; there are no surveillance devices, and no one will specifically monitor Sony now... We are still safe here."

"And I told them... um... that I want to be with you, so they won't come up to disturb me. Even if someone comes, they will surely ring the bell outside, and I'll have time to change back."

"If possible, I intend to revert to my original form when I'm with you."

Ren Suo rubbed his face and looked at them. "Although I can control myself and not be corrupted by Sony, you surely wouldn't like me in Sony's state, right?"

Dong Chengling and Ren Xingmei exchanged glances and silently nodded. After some small talk, Ren Xingmei suddenly looked around the room, stood up, took out a book, flipped through a few pages, and said, "Brother, can you ask them to bring over a few basic language textbooks?"

"Hmm? Okay," Ren Suo asked. "You want to learn the Didra language?"

"Our Qi Cyclones are imprisoned, so we can't engage in Cultivation at all. With you protecting us, we'll have a lot of free time in the coming days. I plan to use this time to learn the Didra language and, if possible, some of their technology," Ren Xingmei said. "If a dimensional war really does break out... then the technological Knowledge I learn here might help protect our home."

Hearing his sister's words, Ren Suo couldn't help feeling deeply ashamed. "Little sister, I never realized your thinking was so advanced! Your brother is proud of you!"

"Just kidding!" Ren Xingmei giggled. "How could a dimensional war break out? Earth has the Fairy Palace, the World Tree, and the Three Gods. If Didra dares to invade, Earth will certainly counterattack and crush Didra effortlessly! By then, with a whole Dimension and civilization to develop, the Didra language and Didra technology will definitely be in high demand. If I start learning now, I'll surely be the first to reap the benefits!"

"The Fairy Palace, World Tree... they might not necessarily win a dimensional war either, right?"

"Even if they aren't strong enough, isn't there the Supreme Supreme who uses all beings as chess pieces and views Dimensions as his grand aspiration? And there's also the Moon Chanter, right, Bro?"

The corners of Supreme Supreme Ren Suo's mouth twitched. "Yes, well, that's true..."

"Speaking of the Moon Chanter."

Sipping on a Didra hot beverage, Dong Chengling set down her teacup and quietly stared at Ren Suo. She softly said, "Suo, aren't there some things you need to explain to us? For example, the cat that transforms into Moon Chantress Luna, and Little Jiu who turns into the Nine-Tailed Fox. Also, the Moon Chantress Luna you saw earlier... she seemed to be unclothed?"

Ren Suo blinked. He looked at the composed Dong Chengling and the curious Ren Xingmei, took a deep breath, and said, "It's a long story..."

"Well then, let's talk about it tomorrow," Dong Chengling cut off Ren Suo's attempt at a full confession. Covering her mouth, she yawned slightly and said, "Converted to Earth time, it must be around four or five in the morning. My Qi Cyclone is sealed, and I really can't hold on. I can't even focus... Let's talk after we wake up tomorrow."

Although four or five in the morning was when Ren Suo was most alert, Dong Chengling, to set an example for Little Jiu, always went to bed promptly at 11 PM. For her, this hour was comparable to pulling an all-nighter.

Moreover, this night had been full of sudden turns and thrilling excitement, fighting from the Earth Plane to the Didra Plane. Currently, no one on Earth was more legendary than them. Even Ren Suo, who knew the plot in advance, felt his heart could barely take it, let alone the other two girls. All three of them were exhausted.

"Don't you need to shower?" Ren Suo, who had conscientiously decided to sleep on the couch, asked curiously when he saw them both go straight to bed.

The Didra people also had the habit of bathing, and Prince Sony's bathroom was like a bathhouse. Ren Suo even felt like swimming in it now.

Ren Xingmei's face turned slightly red. Dong Chengling glanced at him and said, "Before we were sent up here, other maids had already washed us thoroughly."

Ren Suo blinked, not daring to speak further. He used Sony's watch to set an alarm for a bit earlier, then dimmed the lights and obediently lay down on the couch to sleep.

Although he was very tired, once he lay down and closed his eyes, he suddenly found it difficult to fall asleep. A torrent of worries flooded his mind: Destiny. Xides. The Light and Dark Traitor. The battle at the Platinum Tower. The Key to the Door of Annihilation. For Dong Chengling and Ren Xingmei, although they were in the enemy camp, they felt safe with Ren Suo's protection. However, for Ren Suo, who had already seen the future, their crisis had not dissipated. The Sword of Damocles, named Los, continually hung over their heads. Even more despairing was that he not only didn't know how to avoid the crisis but didn't even know who would be struck by this Sword of Damocles. In the game, it was Prince Sony and the Different Dimension Coordinate who were killed together... That Different Dimension Coordinate, who was it? Regrettably, Ren Suo hadn't paid close attention at that time; otherwise, he might have been able to tell from their build. What should he do now...? As Ren Suo pondered these heavy questions, before any flash of inspiration came to him, his consciousness began to blur.

Not knowing how long he had slept, Ren Suo felt his head being cradled, his face caressed by soft hair, and his head resting on something soft and elastic.

He mumbled and slowly opened his eyes. He saw Dong Chengling's gentle face, illuminated by a dim yellow light, her cascading black hair gently brushing his cheeks.

She pressed her finger to Ren Suo's lips and whispered, "Quiet. Don't wake Xing Mei."

Ren Suo nodded. He tried to sit up, propping himself on the couch, but Dong Chengling pressed him back down. "Don't move. Just lie like this. Didn't you enjoy lying like this earlier? Or perhaps... you want to lie a bit higher up?"

Ren Suo's face flushed. He first shook his head, then nodded. "No... I mean, yes, I'd like to lie a bit higher up."

Dong Chengling smiled and accommodated his request.

Ren Suo hummed comfortably. He opened his eyes to meet Dong Chengling's gaze as she looked down at him. His lips moved, but he said nothing.

But Dong Chengling seemed to read his mind. She asked softly, "Do you find it strange? I was angry with you about this just a moment ago, but now I'm holding you willingly?"

"Mhm."

"Because earlier, you were seeking your own happiness and ignoring my wishes. I felt you weren't respecting me, so I got angry. But now, I want to do this," Dong Chengling gently massaged Ren Suo's temples and whispered, "Suo, I want to be good to you. I want you to be comfortable. I want you to be happy."

Even though Dong Chengling spoke very seriously, the awkward lines and her earnest expression created a curious contrast that stirred something more within Ren Suo.

"Also, you were using Prince Sony's face earlier," Dong Chengling said, tilting her head. "I don't know about others, but I... I can only be devoted to one person. My Heart Chamber can only hold one person; there's no room for anything else. I only want the real you to touch me. No other versions are acceptable."

Ren Suo felt as if his heart was filled with melting ice cream. He responded softly, "Cheng Ling, I understand."

"Mhm. Sleepy now? Go on, sleep," Dong Chengling leaned down and kissed Ren Suo's forehead. She said softly, "I know you became Sony to protect us, walking a razor's edge in dangerous places... I know all of it. I remember. Right now, I can't fight alongside you, but at least I can help you sleep a little more comfortably."

"Thank you, Cheng Ling." He completely succumbed to her gentleness.

"Good night. Rest well," Dong Chengling's lips brushed past Ren Suo's ear. "Tomorrow, you have to tell me all about Little Jiu and Luna."

"Huh!?"

Meanwhile, Ren Xingmei, who was sleeping on the soft, large bed, suddenly opened her eyes. She glanced at the two on the couch, then closed her eyes and turned over.
