Liu Bai, Mentally Scattered (Continued)

Acheron got out of bed and naturally walked into the bathroom, but Liu Bai was still savoring the look in Acheron at that moment.

I have this feeling... that although it's calm, it's the calm before a volcanic eruption!

The showerhead in the bathroom was quickly turned on, and the sound of running water continued.

Liu Bai glanced at the time. Hmm... a slightly ominous time, 12 o'clock, um, noon.

Wait, no one will come... Phew, thank goodness, the door is already locked.

Although I don't know when it was locked—why did Acheron suddenly acquire the "skillful hands" talent?

Never mind, I'll just pretend I've already left the pot.

Liu Bai put on his trousers and sat down to continue reading.

Look, the first thing he does after putting on his pants is to read a book. What kind of learning spirit is that!?

Unfortunately, this spirit of learning did not last long.

The faint breathing sounds coming from the bathroom completely distracted Liu Bai from studying.

Ten minutes later, Acheron, wrapped in a bath towel, walked out of the bathroom as if nothing had happened, as if the blood-pumping panting sounds that had just filled the bathroom had never existed.

"Sir, it's your turn."

"Okay, I understand."

After more than ten minutes, my reading progress hadn't increased at all, but my energy had actually picked up.

Sigh, studying? What a load of crap.

Liu Bai walked into the bathroom, washing himself while staring at the bathroom floor, as if trying to find something on it.

Of course, no matter how hard he tried, he wouldn't get the kind of result he wanted.

The moment Liu Bai turned off the shower, he suddenly remembered something and glanced at the favorability rating.

Um... Acheron's favorability rating was all over the screen last night.

State the conclusion directly.

[Acheron's Favorability: 113]

Is this the result after administering the medication?

Waaaaah, Liu Yingying, you lost so badly... cough cough, no, it seems like he's the only one who has no right to persecute Firefly.

So even though Acheron indulges in such rampant lust, he may actually still be suppressing his desires?

Seeing this number, Liu Bai really dared not regard the feeling he had just experienced as an illusion.

... Hey, is this a time-limited mission?

For example, if you fail to complete the task within the allotted time, Acheron is completely defeated by desire, and then you enter the Bad... bed end?

No, no, no, if Acheron goes completely berserk, I'll definitely die, right?

Grass--!

Last night's excessive indulgence has given Liu Bai a headache as he's currently thinking—this little bit of sleep is clearly not enough to make up for the loss of energy.

Moreover, after standing for only a short while, Liu Bai's legs started to feel weak.

Liu Bai dried herself off, then came out of the bathroom and changed into a new set of clothes.

Acheron didn't have any clothes to change into, so he put on Liu Bai shirt and tied his hair into a ponytail with a rubber band from who-knows-where.

A new hairstyle brings a new charm, and now a boyfriend shirt that's sure to make you the most attractive girlfriend...

"Sir, please take care of yourself."

Seeing that Liu Bai was about to leave, Acheron reminded him like a wife.

"Um."

No, now Liu Bai finds every word Acheron says strange, especially this so-called "take care of your health".

Is someone who drained me countless times last night reminding me to take care of my health?

Take care of your health so I can take advantage of you, huh?

It has to be said that all the energy Liu Bai had accumulated over the past few days was completely drained by Acheron's attack.

Even taking a shower makes my legs weak from standing!

"I will make soup for you every day from now on." Acheron seemed to have thought of something and added.

Well, that translates to "I will fertilize more often in the future".

"Well... then I'll leave it to you."

How could I possibly refuse?

Sigh... Horses need to eat grass, and land needs to be fertilized; we can't throw the baby out with the bathwater.

Liu Bai sighed and left immediately. This house was now like a den of dragons and tigers.

Not long after Liu Bai left, there was a knock on Liu Bai's door.

Kafka's voice came from outside. "Miss Acheron, are you awake?"

"Disheveled appearance".

Pellervy's first words to Liu Bai were a rebuke, and then she coldly reached out to straighten Liu Bai's collar.

"You can even button your clothes wrong? It's already midday, are you still not awake? Someone like you... tsk."

"..."

He definitely didn't wake up.

They have absolutely no spirit or energy.

"I stayed up late reading." What a flimsy excuse.

Pellervy's expression softened slightly upon hearing Liu Bai's words—but she still showed more displeasure than anything else.

Well, looking at the serious girl with a stern face and the listless, decadent young man, isn't Pellervy the "maternal figure"?

However, it was fortunate that Pellervy wasn't there yesterday, otherwise, it would have been Pellervy lives next door...

Wait, next door?

Liu Bai was suddenly startled, and most of the drowsiness in his mind disappeared.

Dry!

His two neighbors, one of whom was Pellervy, was empty.

The other arm... it's Kafka!

The Acheron didn't look for him at home before was largely because Kafka moved in next door first, and then Pellervy moved in later, making the environment inconvenient.

Now... no, it should be alright, right? After all, the door still looks intact.

Liu Bai consoled himself.

"What's wrong? What happened again?"

Seeing the thoughtful look on Liu Bai's face, Pellervy asked with a straight face.

"It's nothing, just that Dr. Mobius encountered a bit of a setback."

Keep lying— Pellervy definitely can't know about this!

"Hmm? What exactly is it?"

"A genius high school girl is giving up a promising career as a scientist to become a chef."

"..."

Pellervy blinked, unsure how to respond.

Liu Bai always manages to say things that make her brain short-circuit.

However, Per (and Ruvel) didn't care at all. In fact, Per and Ruvel trusted Liu Bai completely in all aspects of the matter. That's why Per Pellervy showed little interest in the Taixu Sword School, which involved the Herrscher.

His only interest is related to personal matters.

Pellervy has decided to be a selfish person, to first manage her unreliable "father" before worrying about anything else.

"Is nothing wrong at Fuyun Temple?"

Liu Bai asked, and Pellervy finished tidying Liu Bai's clothes and put her hands down.

"Everything is normal; rather, the education has been very effective."

Pellervy for a moment and then summarized.

In just one day, Shi Bao's way of speaking changed drastically.

He used to be in a rush, but now he's become slow and deliberate, with a hint of wariness.

Pellervy never expected that Liu Bai's educational methods would produce results so quickly.

"Miss Fu Shi is still being forced to memorize in the study—today she is memorizing the Four Books and Five Classics, which are classic texts from Shenzhou. Lin Zhaoyu and Su Mei are mainly teaching her."

Pellervy no idea how complicated it was—after all, she didn't know much about Shenzhou, only that it was the common language.

Upon hearing this, Liu Bai silently mourned for Shi Bao for a few seconds.

Those classic masterpieces are really not for humans to read; you could say that most of what's picked out in textbooks are the easiest parts to understand.

If you were to take them all out, a single poem like "Li Sao" could kill someone.

Well... even though these are crocodile tears, it was all arranged by Liu Bai.

"Oh, and also, La Signora. Yelan came here several times today."

Pellervy casually mentioned it as if she had just remembered, but her eyes were observing Liu Bai's expression.

"Um... Yelan?"

Liu Bai's reaction was like that slow-to-react moment.

Did she say she had something to do?

"He didn't say."

Looking at Liu Bai's reaction, Pellervy suddenly felt a little self-doubt.

Am I just overthinking things?

This slow reaction doesn't seem like something's wrong at all.

—Just kidding, Liu Bai's brain is simply not up to the task of dealing with such a sudden and drastic problem.

But... Yelan really did come several times today— Pellervy wouldn't tell such a simple lie about something like this.

Yelan acted as if something was wrong, but both times she tested her "father," he remained calm.

Even though all the clues point to something between the two, Pellervy still unable to draw a conclusion.

—Wait, Yelan's behavior... Could it be that...!

A vixen!?

When one person seduces the other, and the other remains unmoved or even indifferent, isn't that the scenario of a vixen failing to seduce someone?

Pellervy suddenly seemed to understand something—it was Liu Bai's sudden change to being so "clean" that made her feel somewhat uncomfortable.

The "father" should be a little more "dirty"...

It's still quite suspicious, isn't it?

"Good morning, Liu Bai. Didn't you sleep well?"

"... You're one of a kind to say good morning at midday, Suyi, good afternoon."

Liu Bai looked at this woman from a wealthy family with a sense of helplessness.

"As soon as I wake up, it's morning!" Qin Suyi said with an air of self-righteousness. "Besides, it's obvious you've been staying up all night or even all night, right?"

"...yes."
