Mini World Game Console-Chapter 853 - 854 Shameless

In the room, Qiao Muyi sat at the vanity, turned on the small light, and looked in the mirror as she took out her makeup kit.

"You're putting on makeup even though we're about to go to bed?" Watching Qiao Muyi's skillful movements, Gu Yueyan said with a hint of sourness.

Gu Yueyan learned other things quickly, but makeup was her Achilles' heel. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get the hang of it, so apart from her styled hair, she always appeared bare-faced.

However, her skin was flawless. Being young and possessing a Third-level Cultivation, her blooming beauty, in the prime of her youth, was enough to outshine any cosmetics. If her Cultivation continued to increase, her beauty would undoubtedly deepen and become even more captivating over time.

Even Lin Xianyu had said, "Your baseline beauty score is already high, so even the best makeup can only add 5 points. But if you lower your neckline a bit, you could easily add 50 points, and it would be a monotonic increase described by Y=50X..."

But Gu Yueyan wasn't just trying to increase her allure. Ever since Ren Suo had 'awakened' her, she had, as if by a sudden realization, rediscovered her sense of aesthetics.

Even though she still favored loose clothing, she began paying attention to coordination. For example, she considered whether a shirt was cinched at the waist, avoided mixing vertical stripes on top with horizontal ones on the bottom, and knew that combinations like yellow with blue, orange with purple, or red with green all looked hideously bad.

She wanted to look better for her own happiness.

Unfortunately, she was really not good at makeup, and Lin Xianyu was no help—Lin Xianyu's idea of makeup was just a simple facial cleanser.

So, seeing how adept Qiao Muyi was, she couldn't help feeling a little jealous.

Qiao Muyi had a higher Cultivation level and stronger combat power. She was even closer to Ren Suo than Gu Yueyan was. Yet, none of that made Gu Yueyan jealous because she believed she would eventually surpass this woman who was a few years older.

But she did truly wish she could master this skill that allowed for a myriad of beautiful transformations—not through shapeshifting or Illusion Technique, but as an enhancement of her own natural beauty.

"Hmm?"

Without turning around, Qiao Muyi glanced at Gu Yueyan through the mirror, a slight smile playing on her lips. "Why... do you think that?"

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, we're still a long way from bedtime."

Gu Yueyan checked her phone. "It's 11 PM Sky Capital time and 11 PM New York time. Disneyland opens at 8 AM tomorrow. Even as Cultivators, we need at least 6 hours of sleep... I think we should go to bed in an hour."

Qiao Muyi smiled lightly. "I don't see it that way~"

Gu Yueyan crossed her arms and asked, "Then when do you want to go to bed?"

Qiao Muyi found an eyelash curler, propped her chin on her hand, and pondered for a moment before saying, "Well... there are so many people... and it's the first night... I think, at least six hours, right?"

"PFFT!"

Lin Xianyu, who was drinking a cola, suddenly spewed it out. Luckily, she reacted quickly and didn't spray it on the bed, turning her head to spray it beside the bed instead.

Little Jiu was sitting on the small sofa by the bed and got sprayed all over. With calm composure, she pulled out a tissue to wipe her phone. Then, she opened Alipay's 'payment code' and handed it to Lin Xianyu.

Ren Xingmei was also stunned, looking at Qiao Muyi foolishly and stammering, "Sister Qiao, you don't m-mind, do you...?"

"Mind? This isn't something I can control, whether I mind or not. After all, what's meant to happen will happen, right?" Qiao Muyi leisurely curled her eyelashes and chose a honey-brown mascara.

Lin Xianyu pushed away Little Jiu's phone, saying, "But Little Jiu and I are sleeping here too!"

Qiao Muyi crossed her legs, her fox-like eyes curving into a confident arc.

"So what?"

Unbelievable, why did this woman always seem especially cool at times like these?

Gu Yueyan looked at them, not understanding, and asked innocently, "What are you talking about?"

Class President!

Even Little Jiu didn't ask any questions; how can you not even be on par with Little Jiu!

Lin Xianyu heaved a long sigh inwardly, thinking that tonight the Class President was definitely going to be devoured completely. It was already difficult for her to protect this naive and innocent Class President from Ren Suo. Now, even Qiao Muyi, this shameless Demon King, had defected to the scumbag faction. She, the Brave, really couldn't protect Princess Yueyan anymore!

"Oh, we were just talking about how long we'll chat tonight," Qiao Muyi said leisurely. "After all, tonight is our first sleepover. There must be so much we want to say, so many things to talk about. How could we possibly go to bed early during such a moment for heart-to-heart talks?"

Lin Xianyu, Ren Xingmei, and Little Jiu all wore expressions that said, 'I'll just quietly watch you spout nonsense.' That's definitely not what you meant! You think you're Ren Suo, acting all innocent? Ren Suo might be genuinely naive, but you're definitely playing dumb!

"So that's it." Gu Yueyan clapped her hands as if she had an epiphany. "That's right, we're definitely going to talk a lot tonight... It can't be helped if we go to bed late."

Lin Xianyu protested, "Class President, when I wanted to have late-night talks with you before, you ignored me!"

Gu Yueyan shook her head. "You're different from them. You were just disturbing my sleep."

Lin Xianyu sighed, feeling as if she had become Gu Yueyan's lapdog.

So this is what it feels like: you sincerely feed a dog your heart, and the dog still thinks feces taste better!?

Just as Lin Xianyu was feeling downhearted, Gu Yueyan added, "Besides, I've talked with you for so many nights; we're like sisters. What else is there to talk about?"

Lin Xianyu immediately perked up!

Sisters! I'm the Class President's officially authorized and solely recognized sister! Alas, a lapdog then. If it weren't for genuine affection, who would willingly be a lapdog?

Qiao Muyi, finding their interaction amusing, said, "What I did doesn't really count as makeup. I haven't applied primer, foundation, or contour powder... I just touched up my eyelashes and applied some lipstick. I can wash it all off with warm water later."

"Primer, foundation, contour powder..." Gu Yueyan's eyes lit up. "Sister Qiao, you're so amazing! You know how to use so many things!"

"You think that's amazing?" Qiao Muyi smiled gently. "Yueyan, you don't know much about makeup, do you? ...Since we're free now, come sit here. I'll do some simple makeup for you and also help you see which products suit your skin..."

Gu Yueyan immediately sat down again with enthusiasm, like a curious child asking Qiao Muyi for a lesson.

Lin Xianyu glanced at her, knowing that the Class President was also going to fall for it—she even began to doubt whether this trip was truly Ren Suo and his women's consolidation exercise or Qiao Muyi and her lovers' sweet journey.

Soon, Gu Yueyan marveled as she looked at her new self in the mirror. "Wow, amazing! Sister Qiao, you're truly incredible. Your Cultivation is high, you're skilled at work, you can do makeup, and you manage your life so orderly. You even plan trips better than me... I didn't even know the Crystal Cathedral was closed..."

Qiao Muyi placed her hands on Gu Yueyan's shoulders and said with a smile, "I used to be a little girl who couldn't do anything well. I was also lazy, mischievous, clumsy, and unwilling to work, just wanting to get by... Yueyan, you'll definitely become even more amazing than I am."

Gu Yueyan pressed her lips firmly together, looking at the beautiful Qiao Muyi in the mirror, and couldn't help asking, "What made you so perfect, Sister Qiao? Was it the years... or was it because of love?"

It's because her man is lazy, mischievous, clumsy, and unwilling to work, just wanting to get by... Lin Xianyu silently criticized in her mind.

After some idle chat, Gu Yueyan suddenly asked, "Teacher Dong still hasn't come back, huh... I wonder how much time she needs?"

Qiao Muyi replied, "It's hard to say with Spells. If she really mastered a powerful Spell, given her personality, she definitely wouldn't be able to resist trying it out. Before you know it, the whole night might pass."

Gu Yueyan blinked. "So Teacher Dong will have to sleep over there?"

Qiao Muyi gently stroked Gu Yueyan's hair and laughed. "That's right."

She glanced at the people in the room: Gu Yueyan, Ren Xingmei, Little Jiu, Lin Xianyu, Luna…

Excellent. These girls couldn't possibly defy her. Although she felt a bit embarrassed being watched by them... it wasn't a big problem. Moreover, she had Spells like Silencing Spell and Sight Distortion, but Qiao Muyi did not intend to use them. If she was going to seek thrills, she might as well go all the way. As long as it's late, Cheng Ling certainly wouldn't risk waking us up by coming back; she'd most likely choose to sleep over there. So… Cheng Ling, if you don't come back, then we might end up... staying up very late~

「Some time later.」

SLAP!

Dong Chengling dropped directly into the bathtub, splashing water everywhere. Ren Suo got splattered all over his face.

Quickly wiping the water from his eyes, Ren Suo saw a soaking wet Dong Chengling appear before him.

The average temperature in Los Angeles is 12°C to 20°C, which is a bit cold. However, this chilliness was meaningless to Cultivators. So, apart from Little Jiu, who was dressed up like a princess, the others wore at most a single coat.

The hotel had heating, so Dong Chengling had taken off her coat after returning to the room. She was only wearing a thin, plain item of Clothing. Now, having fallen into the bathtub, the soaked garment clung tightly to her skin. Its opacity dropped from 100% to 20%, delivering a strong visual shock that made Ren Suo dazed for a moment.

As Dong Chengling was composing herself, Ren Suo suddenly reached out and grabbed her shoulders.

Looking at the man before her, who was breathing heavily and looked excited, she called out in a slightly flustered tone, "Suo?"

"It's okay, let me."

Let him do it!?

Dong Chengling's body went completely stiff. Her mind was whirling, incapable of reacting, simply letting Ren Suo do as he pleased—

Soon, Dong Chengling felt a warm current flow into her body. She blinked and saw a white Radiance emanating from Ren Suo's hands.

"How is it, are you hurt?" Ren Suo asked with concern. "This tub is pretty hard. Falling straight down from that height, did you bump into anything?"

Dong Chengling stared straight at the man before her, suddenly let out a laugh, and shook her head. "No, I'm a Fourth-Stage Cultivator, after all. How could I get hurt so easily?"

"You girls are more delicate than a rough guy like me..."

"You're hardly what I'd call a rough guy." Dong Chengling laughed as she stood up, glancing at her drenched body.

The pleated skirt wasn't a big deal, but the top and stockings felt sticky after absorbing water. She sighed, stepped out of the bathtub, and handed Ren Suo a bath towel from beside the sink. "Sorry for interrupting your bath… Is your phone okay?"

Ren Suo replied, "No worries, it's IP68 waterproof."

"That's good." Dong Chengling took a deep breath, and her whole body suddenly shook, expelling the water droplets. Although her clothes were still wet, at least she didn't look as though she'd just been fished out of the water.

She walked to the bathroom door, turned her head, saw Ren Suo still in the bathtub, and asked, "Are you still bathing?"

Ren Suo blinked and nodded repeatedly. "Mhm-hm, I need to wash once more before getting out."

Dong Chengling looked at Ren Suo for a second or two, suddenly remembered something, and her face turned red. "Sorry."

However, Dong Chengling placed her hand on the doorknob but didn't open the door. Instead, after pausing for a second or two, she suddenly turned back, removed her shoes, and peeled off her stockings.

Ren Suo quickly brought his legs together and asked nervously, "What's wrong? Aren't you leaving?"

"I realized it's not appropriate for me to leave like this."

Dong Chengling stepped back into the bathtub and slowly sat down. Her skirt quivered when it touched the water, but she still sat in the tub, fully clothed.

"Not appropriate...? Everyone outside is one of us. If you explain, they'll understand," Ren Suo said. "Didn't you Teleport to the bathroom because you used me as a target?"

Dong Chengling smiled. "That is indeed the truth, but they might not necessarily accept it."

"I don't know about the others, but Xiao Qiao will definitely demand compensation. For example... taking a bath with you."

Ren Suo blinked. "Isn't that quite nice?"

Dong Chengling shook her head. "Not nice at all for me. The water seems a bit cold now; too much was splashed out... Could you add some more?"

Ren Suo turned on the tap, and hot water gushed into the bathtub, sending up a white mist.

"So what do you plan to do?" Ren Suo asked.

Dong Chengling said, "I'll Teleport home to change and bathe, then Teleport back here. I'll say I took a bath at home when I went back to learn the Spell."

Ren Suo gave a thumbs-up. "Great plan! Go do it quickly!"

Dong Chengling's gaze shifted elsewhere as she calmly said, "But Teleporting halfway across Earth used up a lot of Spiritual Energy, and learning and experimenting with the Spell used up more. Teleporting back again also... I no longer have enough Spiritual Energy to Teleport back home."

Teleportation, being such an impressive Spell, certainly consumes a lot of Spiritual Energy. Plus, with Dong Chengling's Teleportation distance being so great, it was perfectly normal for her Spiritual Energy to be depleted. Ren Suo nodded. "Makes sense... Ah!"

Ren Suo excitedly raised his hands, which were glowing with white light. "Cheng Ling, I have a Spell that can quickly replenish your Spiritual Energy!"

'Miraculous Hands Rejuvenation: Restores a target's Physical Strength and Spiritual Energy, the recovery amount depending on the output of Spiritual Energy.'

Although Ren Suo typically used 'Saving Lives and Healing the Injured' only for healing injuries, he did possess this other Spell. It could restore someone's Spiritual Energy, but he had simply never used it before.

Dong Chengling stared blankly at Ren Suo, then a gentle smile appeared on her face. "Suo, you're so amazing."

"Of course, how else could I be your boyfriend?" Ren Suo chuckled and extended his hand. "Give me your hand; I'll start the Mana Replenishment."

Dong Chengling nodded, reached out, and took Ren Suo's hand, their fingers interlocking. Then... she suddenly yanked!

The unsuspecting Ren Suo was pulled into Dong Chengling's embrace. He heard her slightly apologetic voice, "Suo, sorry. The story I told you just now was an excuse to trick you. I don't actually lack the Spiritual Energy to Teleport back home."

"Or rather, the idea that Xiao Qiao might want compensation was also just an excuse of mine."

White mist swirled, and the water gurgled. The two drenched figures embraced, seeming to feel each other's heartbeat, hear each other's breath, and share their body heat.

"I don't want to go out, nor do I want to go back."

"Occasionally... often... I always imagine being shamelessly wrapped up with you just like this."
