Together, Who Could Stand Against Us for a Single Exchange? (5K)

Bai Luoming walked towards the hotel, secretly relieved that his strategy had worked and he had managed to escape unscathed. Otherwise, he dared not imagine what Jingliu might have done in that situation.

Furthermore, Jingliu's normal stats and skills are stronger than his. He doesn't even dare to imagine how much his stats would be enhanced if he were to fall victim to the Mara-Struck.

If he doesn't fully activate the second stage by then, he estimates he might not be able to defeat Jingliu.

Fortunately, we've gotten through today's hurdle. As for tomorrow, let him worry about that tomorrow. Let's just have fun for today!

Thinking of this, Bai Luoming no longer hesitated and pushed open the hotel door. But as soon as he entered, Xing suddenly jumped out from the shadows.

"Holy shit!"

Bai Luoming was startled when he saw Xing jump out from the side. Only after realizing it was Xing did he pat his chest and whisper, "Who do you think it was? Don't you know how scary it can be?"

"Come on, it's you who's always out and about without a word, that's scary."

After saying that, Xing quietly looked down at Bai Luoming, but Bai Luoming's hands were empty, and there was nothing she expected.

Seeing this, Xing's face immediately turned cold. This despicable guy abandoned her and Uncle Yang, went out to play in March 7th, and was even more ungrateful. Forget about gifts, he didn't even give her a snack!

Thinking of this, Xing pointed at Bai Luoming and loudly accused him, "What have you been doing today!"

"Huh? Why are you talking so loudly? We're still outside."

After Bai Luoming finished speaking, he looked around. Sure enough, because of Xing's voice, all eyes were quietly drawn to this place, as if they were watching some earth-shattering news.

Xing realized the inappropriateness of her actions. Following Bai Luoming's gaze, she found that all eyes were on her. She didn't tolerate these people and glared back at them one by one.

After doing all this, Xing grabbed Bai Luoming's wrist and led him to his room upstairs.

Bai Luoming didn't struggle and let Xing do as she pleased.

Seeing that Xing was being led upstairs, it was clear that they wouldn't be able to get any gossip. The people in the hotel exchanged glances, all showing regret.

Upstairs, Xing led Bai Luoming to Welt's room. She pushed open the door first and went in, and Bai Luoming, without thinking much, squeezed in through the crack in the door Xing had opened.

However, the situation inside the room was beyond his expectations. At this moment, Welt was sitting in the main seat, and next to him were two single sofas. March 7th was sitting on the single sofa to the right of the main seat, while Star strode over to the sofa to the left.

Directly opposite the head of the table was a wooden bench, resembling a three-way trial.

After Xing sat down on the sofa, she turned to Bai Luoming and said seriously, "What are you all standing there for? Sit down."

Where should we sit?

Xing looked at the wooden bench directly opposite her, gestured towards Bai Luoming with her lip, and said, "Hehe, what do you think?"

"..."

Seeing this, Bai Luoming sighed softly, strode over to the wooden bench, and sat down.

Seeing Bai Luoming sit down, Xing's face immediately lit up with excitement, but she quickly suppressed it. After a soft "Hey!" she said to Bai Luoming:

"You want to punish Bai Luoming? Why don't you quickly hand over your crimes? Do I have to tell you myself?"

"I say, aren't we getting a little too serious?"

Watching Xing's performance, March 7th covered her face with her hands and complained to Xing with some helplessness.

Even Welt, who was standing to the side, adjusted his glasses and echoed March 7th's words, saying, "Little March is right, Luo Ming didn't do anything seriously wrong."

Xing stared wide-eyed at the two people beside her and said, "Whose side are you on? Why are you taking his side?"

Having said that, Xing ignored their reactions and said to Bai Luoming, "If you want to offend Bai Luoming, why don't you confess your crimes now?"

Looking at Xing's expression, Bai Luoming felt somewhat helpless, but he still feigned fear, cupped his hands to Xing, and said in a trembling voice, "What is it you wish to do, sir? I... I truly do not know!"

"How dare you! You're about to die and you're still pretending to be stupid!"

"Please enlighten me, sir, so that I may at least die knowing the truth."

"Considering your current sincere attitude, I will mercifully tell you your sins."

Xing looked at Bai Luoming's reaction with satisfaction, nodded, and then said, "You abandoned your work to go out and have fun without permission, and you didn't even reply to my messages. That's one thing!"

Bai Luoming wasn't surprised by this, since it was indeed his fault, but he was still curious to know what other reasons Xing had given him.

"And secondly, you came back empty-handed. Didn't you know there were people waiting for you here? That's the second point."

At this point, Bai Luoming realized that Xing was angry because he hadn't brought back any gifts.

Seeing this, Bai Luoming cupped his hands to Xing, took out the Jade Abacus and placed it in his hand, making a offering gesture as he said to Xing, "I know I am guilty, this is my apology. Please, sir, choose whatever you wish to take."

Xing nodded in satisfaction. She was just about to fabricate a few more crimes against Bai Luoming to put pressure on him, but she didn't expect Bai Luoming to be so sensible.

Then Xing stood up from the sofa, strode towards Bai Luoming's seat, and prepared to pick up his Jade Abacus for a closer look.

Just as Xing was about to obtain the Jade Abacus, Bai Luoming flipped his wrist and transferred the Jade Abacus to his wrist.

Aeon paused for a moment, then tried to take the Jade Abacus from Bai Luoming's wrist, but Bai Luoming flipped his wrist again and this time put the Jade Abacus directly into his own purse.

"No, you'd actually take it if I gave it to you?"

After putting away the Jade Abacus, Bai Luoming stared wide-eyed, making a surprised expression, and said to Xing Rushi.

Xing stared wide-eyed at Bai Luoming's words. At this moment, she understood perfectly well that this bastard was just toying with her!

She didn't tolerate Bai Luoming's advances and directly reached for his purse. Bai Luoming naturally wouldn't let her have her way and grabbed Xing's wrist.

Xing was taken aback, not expecting this guy to actually dare to resist, so he began to struggle violently, and the two of them wrestled together.

"Those two guys..."

Watching these two clowns' antics, March 7th held his forehead, turned his face away, and couldn't bear to look at them.

Welt also spoke up at the right moment to stop the two, saying, "Alright, stop fooling around on the ground, you don't look like Nameless at all."

Upon hearing Welt's voice, the two stopped what they were doing and stood up.

Xing dusted himself off and looked at Welt with resentment, saying, "Uncle Yang, look at him!"

"Alright, alright, he was indeed in the wrong, but it doesn't deserve to be blown out of proportion like this."

"See, Old Yang is the most reasonable one."

"Are you saying I'm being unreasonable?"

Xing glared at Bai Luoming, looking ready to fight at the slightest provocation.

Welt sighed helplessly, pressing his hand to his temples. These two troublemakers really could cause trouble anywhere.

But he quickly composed himself and continued to advise, "Alright, alright, teammates should get along well."

After saying that, he turned his gaze to Bai Luoming and said, "Luo Ming, you should at least send a message to let us know you're safe when you go out alone. What you did today was really inappropriate."

"Exactly! Look at you, you went out today, and even March 7th didn't know where you went. If I hadn't called you, were you planning to stay out all night?"

Upon hearing this, March 7th lowered her head, pretending to be playing with her terminal, and didn't dare to reply. The reason she didn't go out with Bai Luoming today wasn't because she was unaware of the situation; it was simply because she wasn't feeling well, and her lower back still felt sore.

But she didn't dare say such things aloud, so she could only lower her head and play with her terminal to hide her true feelings.

Welt agreed with Xing's idea, nodding and saying, "Indeed, next time, at least reply to the message."

"That's right, that's right."

Xing agreed with Welt's idea and nodded repeatedly.

"Uncle Yang truly lives up to his reputation as a senior; his words are always sharp."

"?"

Welt listened to Xing's words, his expression froze, and he looked down at his hands, wondering what the child meant. Was he really getting old?

Thinking of this, Welt glanced at Xing without leaving a trace. Xing's eyes were clear at this moment. Sensing Welt's gaze, she turned her head and smiled at him.

Okay, he was overthinking it. The kid probably didn't mean it. It's obvious he's still young; Xing was just talking nonsense.

"Alright, that's enough for today. If you have nothing else, go home and rest."

Having gone through this ordeal, Welt was clearly not in the mood to cause any more trouble. He waved his hand, effectively dismissing them.

Seeing this, Bai Luoming wisely said goodbye to Welt and left the room to return to his own.

As soon as he entered the room, Bai Luoming strode to his large bed and lay down on it in a very casual manner.

He stretched out his limbs, enjoying the softness of the bed, and exclaimed, "Mmm, lying in this bed is really comfortable."

However, before he could even take out the Jade Abacus, he heard a beeping sound from outside the door indicating that the room card had been successfully recognized.

Bai Luoming paused for a moment, then turned to look at the door. As the beeping stopped, the door slowly opened.

A figure with pink hair quickly squeezed in through the doorway, then peeked out and looked around before slamming the door shut.

Bai Luoming looked at the thief-like figure and couldn't help but chuckle, saying, "What are you doing? Cosplaying a thief?"

After confirming the situation outside the door on March 7th, she walked over and lightly punched Bai Luoming on the shoulder, saying in an annoyed tone, "What are you talking about! I'm only doing this for your own good."

"Yes, yes, so what brings my dear Miss March 7th to see me?"

"Oh, it's not that we wanted to find you, although we missed you a lot too."

It seems that after last night's battle, March 7th's skin has clearly been thickened; he can now say such things without blushing.

Bai Luoming was a little curious. If it wasn't her looking for him, then who could it be?

Just as he was wondering, a figure emerged from March 7th's body.

Bai Luoming was no longer curious. It turned out to be our beloved Miss Black 7th's teeth!

However, this time Evernight was different from the past. Her body was more solid than ever before, as if she had truly separated from March 7th's body and possessed a real body, unlike the illusions of the previous times.

Seeing this, Bai Luoming became curious and stepped forward to pinch Evernight's cheek. The collagen in his hand felt so real.

Just as Bai Luoming was about to pinch him again, Evernight slapped his hand away and said, "Are you curious about my condition, darling?"

"I am indeed quite curious, after all, it's quite rare to see someone like you."

"Hehe, I put a lot of effort into sculpting this body. After all, it just doesn't feel right to always use the body of March 7th for work."

"Oh, so that's why I sometimes feel unwell all over after a good night's sleep! It's you!"

Upon hearing Evernight's words, March 7th immediately reacted, pointing his index finger at Evernight.

"Hehe, let's not discuss this issue anymore, let's talk about something we're more interested in?"

After saying that, Evernight continued without waiting for the two of them to speak, "For example, why did you change your clothes after going out for a short while, dear?"

Evernight's words immediately caught March 7th's attention, and she said, "Oh yeah, if you hadn't said anything, we wouldn't have noticed that Luo Ming had changed his clothes."

Bai Luoming hadn't expected the conversation to turn to him, but he had no reason to hide it, so he said frankly, "It's nothing, I just got into a fight with someone today and tore my clothes."

"Oh? Are you alright? Are you hurt?"

Upon hearing Bai Luoming's words, March 7th felt a pang of anxiety and hurriedly inquired about Bai Luoming's condition, even reaching out her small hand to check his body for any injuries.

Seeing this, Evernight pressed down on March 7th's hand, glanced at Bai Luoming subtly, and continued to press, "Just a fight?"

"It was just a fight!"

"Hehe, darling, you're not being honest. Were you fighting in bed?"

"Why do you say that?"

Upon hearing Bai Luoming's words, Evernight made no comment yet, but March 7th spoke up first to defend Bai Luoming.

"It was just a fight, it's normal for clothes to get torn, I think you're just being too sensitive."

"Haha, I can agree that your clothes will be torn after a fight, but honey, can you tell me why you smell so bad after a fight?"

As she spoke, Evernight leaned her head close to Bai Luoming's chest, gently sniffed, and then continued, "Hmm, although the scent is rather faint now, it doesn't seem like the scent you should have on you, my dear. Can you give me an explanation?"

Although Evernight's tone was as sweet as ever, it made Bai Luoming break out in a cold sweat.

Seeing this, Evernight became even more certain that Bai Luoming was guilty. Pointing at his strange behavior, she said to March 7th, "Look at March 7th, he's obviously playing you. And you were just defending him!"

Seeing Bai Luoming's strange behavior on March 7th, he angrily said, "You bastard! Humph, I'm not talking to you anymore!"

Having said that, March 7th snorted coldly and turned his head away from Bai Luoming.

"Hey, it's not what you think. My clothes were indeed torn in a fight, but after that, I even found a master. This must have gotten on them during training."

"Hehe, is that all? Darling, aren't you going to take it?"

"Ha, if you don't believe me, you can look at my Remembrance. I believe you have that ability!"

"My dear, how could I bear to look at your Remembrance?"

Bai Luoming was secretly delighted upon hearing Evernight's words. He admitted that he was still gambling, betting that Evernight wouldn't look at his Remembrance.

Clearly, he won his gamble again.

But before he could be happy for long, Evernight leaned close to his ear and whispered a soft voice.

"However, to prevent my darling from going out and fooling around, I think we should take some necessary measures."

"?"

"It seems you still have some doubts, but that's alright, I'm sure you'll understand soon."

After saying that, Evernight pounced on Bai Luoming and began to grope him before he could react.

Only then did Bai Luoming realize what Evernight meant by "necessary measures." But he wasn't afraid at all; Chang Evernight was nothing more than a defeated opponent.

With this in mind, Bai Luoming responded to Evernight's demands, and even his hands began to wander restlessly.

Seeing the two suddenly start fighting fiercely, March 7th's mind went blank. Not understanding what was happening, he could only stand there dumbfounded.

Evernight, panting heavily after finishing a round of demands, looked at March 7th and said with a hint of disappointment:

"Are you just going to watch, darling?"

"Ah, you guys can handle this, we... we..."

After talking for a while without getting to the point, March 7th Evernight smiled and looked at March 7th seriously, saying, "My dear, why don't we go together? If the two of us attack together, how could we possibly defeat you?"

"You! You! We..."

March 7th seemed shocked by Evernight's tone, stammering for a long time without being able to utter a single word, and could only point at Evernight with his finger.

Bai Luoming naturally wouldn't let this golden opportunity slip by. Taking advantage of March 7th's momentary daze, he reached out and pulled her into his arms, chuckling before saying, "March 7th, let's go together. Otherwise, it might be difficult for Evernight to achieve our goal alone."

"You! You! You're so wicked!"

On March 7th, her face was pressed against his chest, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment.

Evernight then hugged March 7th, her hand caressing her slender waist, and said with a mischievous smile, "Actually, my dear, you've been thinking about this for a long time, haven't you?"

"No, we didn't!"

March 7th suddenly spoke, but after speaking, she covered her face with her hands, somewhat hesitant to face the two of them.

Seeing March 7th in this state, the two exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with smiles, and confirmed their primary objective.

(An unknown number of words omitted.)
