Chapter 3: Zang People Overcome Mu

  "Ling Mu." Ling Mu opened his mouth but hadn't made a sound, when Murong Xue spoke up first, her voice as melodious as an oriole's, pleasant to the ear.

  "Huh? You still remember me?" Ling Mu wondered.

  "How could I forget, a notorious villain like you?" Murong Xue smiled.

  "Nonsense! They're just jealous of my good looks and intentionally trying to smear me!" Ling Mu was furious, his words sharp as knives. "How could someone like me who loves cleanliness be dirty?"

  Wang Ke and Su Rui covered their mouths and giggled at the same time, and even Fatzi's face twitched.

  "Do you still remember that summer night when you confessed to me?" Mu Rong Xue's expression suddenly turned a bit sulky, her pretty face flushing slightly.

  Wang Ke and Su Rui's smiles froze at the same time, even the mysterious man turned his head to look at Ling Mu, with a playful gaze, Fatso's eyes widened with an expression of watching a good show.

  "You still remember..." Ling Mu suddenly felt a strange sense of excitement.

  "How could I forget!" Murong Xue's voice was tinged with a hint of embarrassment, "So many boys confessed to me, either sending flowers or love letters, but you! You're actually... actually sent me sanitary napkins!"

  In the end, Murong Xue's voice was as soft as a mosquito hum, but Ling Mu didn't notice anything wrong.

  "I'm not the one who saw you having your period that day, anyway I'll just send something practical!"

  "You!" Murong Xue's face turned red with anger and embarrassment, she didn't know what to say.

  The mysterious man's expression paused, and for the first time, he looked at Lingmu with a different gaze. He also seemed to understand the nickname "Dirty Person" that Lingmu had. Fat Zhang opened his mouth wide, seemingly wanting to laugh but not daring to, with an eerie expression. Meanwhile, Wang Ke and Su Rui's faces turned white simultaneously. How did they even know about her physiological period? Was it...

  "Then you later still...still..." Murong Xue pointed at Ling Mu, her jade fingers trembling.

  "What happened next?" Seeing Murong Xue hadn't responded for a long time, the fatty hastily asked again, with an expression of watching a good show without minding his own business.

  "Hmph! Nothing else to say!" Murong Xue hummed softly, not speaking again. She couldn't spread the news that Ling Mu had written love letters on sanitary napkins after getting her, the great Murong female god, and then went on to sell a large batch of sanitary napkins, earning a pretty penny. It was just that she had forgotten about her period that day and was taken advantage of by Ling Mu. Later, it even got out that Murong female god had a habit of collecting sanitary napkins, and she was furious with Ling Mu! However, she still couldn't figure out why Ling Mu knew it was her period that day, and she hadn't understood it until now.

  "Haha, Ling Mu little brother, you've really offended our Mochizuki goddess! Haha!" The fat guy didn't hear the rest and looked disappointed for a moment before bursting into laughter.

  "Sea Big Fatty?" Ling Mu raised an eyebrow, this fatty was so fat that he was almost unrecognizable, but it was also thanks to his fatness that people could remember him.

  "That's right, that's right, it's me, Hai Lao Ge!" Fatso nodded with a smile, "By the way, I know Ling Mu is a good gamer, did he play the previous version of 'Chuan Shi'?"

  "Uh-huh, I've played before." Ling Mu nodded, and then remembered the fox demon, his eyes dimming.

  "What level is Little Brother at now?" asked the fatty, and Murong Xue and the mysterious man also perked up their ears to listen. They wouldn't notice Ling Mu's slightly dimmed eyes, only Su Rui felt it, her small hand clenched white.

  "First class." Lingmu replied straightforwardly without thinking much.

  Max level!

  "Ah!" The fatty sucked in a breath of cold air, and Murong Xue and the mysterious man's expressions simultaneously changed.

  "Two years after the opening of 'Legacy', only a small fraction of players around the world have reached the max level, and every single one of them is a top-notch master! No wonder they reacted so strongly."

  "Cough cough, that Ling Mu little brother..." The fatty cleared his throat twice, just about to speak when he was interrupted by Murong Xue.

  "Ling Mu, will you also enter the next online game 'Deification'?" Murong Xue asked.

  "Of course I will, I'm a professional gamer now. If I don't play games, I won't know what to do." Lingmu said with self-deprecation.

  "Ah! Lingmu, you're wrong this time. In today's world where survival resources are scarce, online games are being built as a second world for humanity! Professional gamers have a very prestigious status!" Fatso sighed, and of course, Lingmu knew that too. Not to mention anything else, just talking about income, if it wasn't for the handsome earnings from the game, how could he afford to buy that expensive humanoid computer, Yuxue?

  "Really? That's great!" Murong Xue looked at Ling Mu with a surprised expression, her beautiful eyes full of expectation. "I also want to prepare to play 'Deification'! You'll take me with you to play, right?"

  Fat Zhang opened his mouth but didn't make a sound, no way, someone else's capital was at stake, couldn't win the argument, so he poured himself a cup of wine and downed it in one gulp.

  "Of course I will!" Ling Mu exclaimed excitedly, patting his chest.

  A group of people were chatting and laughing, with Ling Mu and Murong Xue being the center of attention. Ling Mu was sharing some funny stories from a game, which made Murong Xue burst into laughter. The others at the table fell silent, with the fat guy drinking his wine gloomily. The mysterious man kept glancing at Murong Xue and then at Su Rui, while Wang Ke and Su Rui were eating quietly, their minds elsewhere. Occasionally, Wang Ke would suddenly grit her teeth and scrape her chopsticks against the plate, as if she was doing something in secret. Since Murong Xue arrived, the two of them had been sitting silently, almost to the point of being ignored.

  "Everyone! Have you all eaten and drunk well?" Wei Shan clapped his hands, attracting the attention of everyone in the hall. They had already been eating for over an hour, and the tables that were once full of food were now almost empty. Ling Mu had long since leaned back in his chair with a full stomach, finally waiting for the gathering to disperse.

  "Actually, we should continue arranging activities for the next time. Today must be a fun day! But tonight is an important day, everyone knows, right?"

  "Divine Realm" is now open! As soon as Wei Shan's words fell, someone responded immediately.

  "That's right! "Deification"! A "Deification" that will become a legend in the online gaming world! The importance of its launch doesn't need to be emphasized, does it? In that case, for the sake of its launch, we have no choice but to cancel the following activities..."

  Then Lingmu didn't notice what was said next, because Murong Xue had already left, and before leaving, she said to Lingmu with a "tender and loving" expression: "I'm waiting for you!" which made Lingmu so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, and he hurriedly patted his chest and called out in excitement.

  It was that mysterious man who walked away and made Lingmu uncomfortable again. He actually asked Su Rui's name, and his voice sounded good, making Lingmu think that he was a mute fall empty.

  "Su Rui, what a great name! I'm Nangong Yu, remember it!"

  Can't help but say, Nan Gong Yu indeed has a lot of demeanor, elegant and refined, with a handsome appearance, even if he's not as good-looking as himself, of course, this is just Ling Mu's one-sided opinion.

  "Brother Mu Zi!"

  Ling Mu was standing by the side of the road waiting for a car, Su Rui walked over with small steps.

  "Huh? Little Su Su, where's Wang Ke?" Ling Mu asked in surprise, seeing only Su Rui alone.

  "She went to the bathroom." Su Rui replied, looking at Ling Mu with a serious face.

  "Really? That's great! Come and let brother touch your long meat!" Ling Mu was delighted, what a good opportunity.

  Su Rui didn't say a word, continuing to look at him seriously. Ling Mu's paws, stretched out in mid-air, hovered in front of Su Rui's delicate chest, neither advancing nor retreating, and was awkwardly suspended there.

  "Muzi Ge, why aren't you happy?" Su Rui suddenly spoke up, seriously looking into Ling Mu's eyes.

  "Haha, brother is so happy tonight, how can he not be happy!" Ling Mu laughed and casually put his hand back behind his head.

  "Why aren't you happy?" Su Rui asked again, as serious as ever.

  Ling Mu's smile froze and slowly turned into a bitter smile with a hint of melancholy.

  "Susu, why are you always so understanding..."

  Yes, he is unhappy. No matter how high-spirited and loudly he laughs tonight, he cannot forget that the enchanting face of the fox demon, which had captivated everyone, had just bid him a final farewell not long ago...

  "What happened?" Su Rui gazed into Ling Mu's eyes, with a hint of worry in her own.

  "You said, if you fall in love with someone you shouldn't have fallen in love with, what kind of consequences will there be......" Ling Mu gazed at the night sky, asking Su Rui, and also asking himself.

  "Is that beautiful sister of Murong Xue?" Su Rui's small mouth pouted, and her tone was surprisingly a bit sour.

  "Haha, it turns out that Little Susu's little brain also has times when she's not clever!" Ling Mu laughed and gently stroked Su Rui's head with his large hand. Su Rui tilted her head back, closed her eyes, and comfortably enjoyed the sensation.

  "Get your dirty hands off me!" A furious shout, Wang Ke stormed out of the wine tower entrance, pointing at Ling Mu as he ran over.

  "Whoa! Taxi, wait!" Ling Mu was startled and hastily jumped onto a hover taxi that had just dropped off a passenger, repeatedly urging the driver to hurry up.

  "Little Su! Goodbye!" Ling Mu poked his head out and waved at Su Rui, not waiting for her response before disappearing into the dust.

  "Well, see you again." Su Rui waved her hand and said softly.

  "Susu, that bastard didn't bully you, did he?" Wang Ke walked up to Su Rui's side, affectionately putting his arm around her, and asked with a puzzled expression. After finishing speaking, he suddenly let out a snort of laughter, "It's been two years since we last saw each other, I didn't think he was still that kind of bastard, not changing one bit..."

  The anger just now is gone without a trace, laughing and suddenly feeling a little desolate.

  "Keke, let's go play 'Divine' too." Su Rui suddenly said.

  "All right! Whatever Princess Su says goes!" Wang Ke's eyes lit up as he readily agreed.

  ……

  "Yi Xue, I'm back!" Ling Mu shouted, shaking off his shoes and tossing his socks wildly onto the floor.

  “……”

  There was no sound inside, Lingmu turned on the light and took a look. Originally, Lingmu's room wasn't big, and at a glance, he saw Yuxue lying on the sofa as if she was sleeping, which startled him. Does a humanoid computer also sleep? He hadn't spent much time with Yuxue, and had been stuck in the game for a long time, so he didn't know that Yuxue had this program. After thinking about it, he didn't care too much. A home maintenance robot worth a sky-high price wouldn't break down, right? Maybe it was just self-maintaining or something.
