"Old Lady" (Continued)

Natasha made a sarcastic remark.

"... Doesn't my husband 'Serpent's Master word count?" Bai tilted her head.

Just kidding, he's already taken care of Mobius. He'll make Mobius step down tomorrow night.

"...?"

Natasha was visibly stunned.

On the contrary, Pellervy remained calm—she had already figured out what methods she would use in the future, and she was also aware of Liu Bai's current situation.

Therefore, Liu Bai's self-disclosure of this matter will only make Pellervy is gradually maturing, even more determined.

"You... you actually dared to lay a hand on that kind of middle-aged woman!?"

Natasha had completely disregarded any respect for her mistress.

"How old are you! That woman is almost forty! She could easily be your mother! How could you lay a hand on her?"

Natasha was clearly devastated.

Liu Bai's expression turned strange at this moment—then Natasha's face suddenly showed an expression of understanding.

"I... I understand, that old lady must have drugged you, right? Damn it..."

"Um... Good evening, the Doctor."

"Alas--!?"

Natasha was immediately startled and turned her head sharply.

Mobius, dressed in a long black dress, was giving her a sinister and terrifying smile—yes, a smile.

"Auntie...hehe, auntie." Mobius repeated Natasha's address to him, a smile gradually spreading across his face.

"It seems that Gray Serpent has raised a thankless wretch all these years..."

"Ah... this... that... this is just... immoral!"

After a couple of seconds of feeling guilty, Natasha realized she had nowhere to retreat, so she mustered up her courage and confronted Mobius.

"The age gap between you two is too big!"

"Liu Bai, you think so too?" Mobius's smile became even more terrifying.

"Me..."

After thinking for a moment, Liu Bai simply picked up Mobius and carried him in his arms.

It's worth mentioning that Mobius is actually quite tall. Among the main characters, only Mei, who is 1.72 meters Mei, can compare to Mobius, who is 1.73 meters tall. Even among the important supporting characters Rita and Bianka can't compare to Mobius.

But strangely, Mobius appears very voluptuous in light-bodied people, and very light in voluptuous people.

For example, Mei, who is 1.72 meters tall, Mei 50 kg during puberty, which is 100 jin (50 kg).

Eden is 1.74 meters tall and weighs 58 kg.

Mobius is 1.73 meters tall and weighs 57kg.

It was positioned right between the two of them.

"Wait, wait! What are you going to do?"

After being picked up by Liu Bai, Mobius's gloomy expression instantly vanished.

"Of course, it's to let you, the Doctor, experience your charm."

"Don't, don't say things like that at a time like this!"

Mobius, recalling his embarrassing remarks in bed, became shy and bashful.

Then, weakly and feebly, she began to pound on Liu Bai's chest.

It's impossible to tell whether it's resistance or urging.

"Whoa~ Do we... do we have to do it in front of everyone?"

"If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute." Pellervy patted Vilvie on the head.

Then, Pellervy looked at Natasha —the meaning was clear: you're responsible for the mess you created.

Natasha froze.

She has no experience in handling this kind of thing!

... Not to mention that he was caught talking badly about people behind their backs.

There's not much more to say about this, but just looking at it like this...

Fortunately, in front of everyone, Mobius's girlish sense of shame kicked in—after all, she and Liu Bai were currently in their honeymoon period.

Well, before it was the honeymoon period for guinea pigs, now it's the honeymoon period for married couples.

"Okay, okay! I... I know you like me a lot, but... I have to go to work tomorrow."

Mobius blushed and spoke softly.

"If you keep making a fuss, I definitely won't be able to get up tomorrow..."

"You can take leave." Bai continued carrying Mobius.

"I told you to stop fooling around, it's a very important experiment... Weekend... I'll spend the whole weekend with you, how about that?"

Okay, problem solved.

Liu Bai put Mobius down and watched Mobius leave with happy, light steps, and breathed a sigh of relief.

After the incident with Mobius, everyone except Vilvie was slightly depressed, except for her who was more excited.

In a somewhat somber atmosphere, Liu Bai arranged rooms for Vilvie and Natasha.

Then Pellervy went back together.

"... So, Peru, why are you following me?" Bai turned to Pellervy behind him and asked.

"It's just going in the same direction. If you don't like it, I can wait a bit."

"Ah... no need for that."

Surprisingly, I could feel a very intense gaze emanating from Pellervy.

It's a little scary.

"By the way, Peroo, who have you been with these days?"

"Miss Asta assigned me to the intelligence department," Pellervy said calmly. "Hasn't she given you the department list yet?"

"No, but there's no rush—you and Asta haven't had any conflicts, have you?"

Why do you think that Miss Asta and I will have a conflict?

"... because I feel that her personality might not be compatible with yours."

Does incompatibility necessarily lead to conflict?

Pellervy a clear and logical answer.

"Speak of the devil, and he shall appear."

In the corridor, Asta and Guinaifen walked side by side, each carrying a large bag.

These two people had obviously just returned from shopping.

"Ah! Good evening! Boss! And Peppy!"

Asta greeted the two of them with an innocent and cheerful smile.

"...?"

Liu Bai glanced at Pellervy, then at Asta, his expression slightly strange.

Hopefully, this is just a friendly nickname.

Otherwise, Asta's "pink on the outside, black on the inside" persona would be too dark.

"I've told you so many times, don't call me by such a strange name," Pellervy tone somewhat displeased.

"Hey~ Gui Gui doesn't care, right?" Asta nudged Guinaifen with her shoulder since she couldn't free her hands.

"Um... cough cough, sort of, I also call my friend Chang Chang."

"So, is your name Asta Ai, Si Si, or Da Da?"

Liu Bai felt that Asta might not have done it entirely on purpose, but at least half of it was intentional, and the other half was just going with the flow.

"Um... Dada?" Guinaifen had been hanging out with the Xianzhou native for a long time and was used to repeating the last character.

Asta, on the other hand, was less particular—and partly intentionally, she called Pellervy"Peppy."

"I remember you Asta, on the Space Station..."

Splash!

Asta dropped what she was holding, rushed over and covered Liu Bai's mouth, then took his hand and pulled Liu Bai away.

"Boss, how do you know so much...?"

"Hmm~"

"...Okay, it doesn't feel that strange, cough cough." Asta cleared her throat and said seriously, "Would you believe me if I said I didn't do it on purpose?"

"I believe it, because I also want to be called Peppy."

Liu Bai nodded first, then shook his head.

"But actually, you did it on purpose, didn't you?"

"Um..." Asta, her thoughts exposed, looked a little embarrassed. "Well... putting reality aside, isn't the nickname 'Peppy' cute?"

"Well, it's the pet's name after all."

"Your art is based on the idea of putting coldness into the clothes first to build up energy, right?" Esjuda retorted—but she herself didn't quite believe that statement. "Ahem. I mean... Peppy ... ah no, Miss Pellervy, isn't she much like your loyal dog?"

"Hmm... probably a tsundere."

"A proud and loyal dog is still a loyal dog... cough cough, sorry, it's nothing."

Asta suddenly realized that she was showing too much.

She usually maintains the persona of an innocent and naive young lady in front of others.

She only becomes much bolder online when no one knows who's behind the profile picture.

"I mean, if you don't like it, I can change my mind. After all, the name Peru is quite cute."

"... No, because it feels fun to call out like that, so you can keep calling out."

"Huh? Is that so?"

"Have you two finished your private conversation?"

Guinaifen smelled strongly of vinegar.

"Asta and I are discussing serious matters... By the way, where's Peru?"

When Liu Bai returned, he found that Pellervy was missing.

"She said she went back to her room first," Guinaifen replied, her jealousy subsiding slightly. "Speaking of which, Peilu seems to have become more like an adult lately."

"Hasn't she always been quite mature?"

Who would treat their own foster mother like a child if she could kill her?

"Um... I mean, it's starting to mature in a slightly scary way."

Guinaifen's rant.

It's still the sense of oppression. Due to her appearance, Pellervy she doesn't speak—and the sense of oppression is even stronger when she speaks only two or three words.

"That's good news." Bai had actually sensed it too.

Well, this change is better than Pellervy constantly giving herself the silent treatment.

Although Liu Bai was reluctant to think about what was hidden beneath this change.
