An Unromantic Interrupter

"..."

Herta only then realized that someone had crawled under her skirt.

"... Don't go too far, kid!"

Herta kicked Vilvie away with all his might.

"Didn't you install a combat module?"

Ruan Mei raised an eyebrow.

"Where would we find so many resources?"

Herta's face was full of displeasure.

"And you, what's your relationship with him?"

"My husband."

"...?"

Herta closed his eyes and rubbed his temples. "... Ruan Mei, repeat that again?"

"My husband, is it hard for you to understand those three words?"

"Um... no... that's too direct."

The intense shock rendered Herta's tone devoid of arrogance.

To be honest... it was an overreaction.

Herta glanced at Liu Bai, a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

She knew better than anyone how difficult Ruan Mei was to deal with.

"Liu Bai, do you need me to do something for you?"

Herta paused for a moment, then spoke with great interest.

"I won't treat you unfairly."

Chapter 398 The Unromantic Disturbance.

"... I feel like I heard something similar a few months ago."

Liu Bai rubbed his forehead.

"You're not going to say yes, are you?"

Ruan Mei glanced at Liu Bai, clearly not wanting him to agree.

"I'm still a little curious about the so-called 'not being treated unfairly'."

Liu Bai spoke honestly.

"Have I mistreated you?"

Ruan Mei raised her eyebrows slightly.

"I'm not going to steal your man, so stop putting on this melodramatic love story."

Herta was speechless at the atmosphere between the two. "Is it because you got married? Ruan Mei, you've become a bit irrational."

You'll understand later.

"Don't talk to me like that."

Herta stated that someone as perfect as him couldn't stand such words.

"Alright, alright... instead of asking for opinions in such a dubious way, why not just state your requirements directly?"

"... I don't care."

Herta shrugged.

"It's simple. Help me collect things related to the Herrscher of this world. How about that? It shouldn't be too difficult, right?"

"Hmm... it's not that difficult after all..."

Liu Bai thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement, "But what's the purpose of this?"

"Of course it's for research! What did you think I was going to do?"

Herta looked at Liu Bai with the eyes of someone looking at an idiot.

"... Of course I know it's research."

Liu Bai's eyelids twitched. "I'm asking about the specific research projects."

Ruan Mei turned to look at Liu Bai.

Is it just my imagination? I feel like she had a similar conversation with Liu Bai a month or two ago.

... I guess I should find an opportunity to take down Herta.

"I don't know. You have to bring it over before I know what to study. After all, even someone as perfect as me isn't omniscient or omnipotent."

The tiny doll crossed its arms dismissively.

"Ask anything else you want to ask."

"... It's so simple and clear that there's nothing left to ask."

Can I take that as a yes?

"Hmm... Ugh!"

"... Ruan Mei, why are you pinching Liu Bai?"

"It's none of your business, is it?"

"That's true."

Herta was easily persuaded.

"In short, as long as you don't interfere with my business, I have absolutely no interest in your marital affairs."

"... Hey sis, do you think Ms. Herta is genuinely unaware or just pretending?"

"... Maybe it's because they don't care?"

Cangxuan pondered for a moment before replying that she had seen this indifference in Mobius many times before.

It's obvious that Ruan Mei has an inextricable connection with Liu Bai and the Herta, but unfortunately, the Herta isn't interested at all.

"Hiss... By the way, Herta, I'll prepare a communication tool for you in a bit."

"No, just take a doll."

Herta was very unhappy about being "hired".

But there's one thing she does enjoy—fewer idiots like to bother her with a bunch of trivial, unimportant things.

Well, to put it bluntly, only Liu Bai is left.

Furthermore, given that Liu Bai is objectively quite interesting, she can understand his "foolishness" and even magnanimously teach Liu Bai.

Now Liu Bai wants to provide her with a mobile phone or other communication tools?

Roll, roll, roll!

"... Is it really possible?"

Liu Bai hesitated for a moment.

It feels like... a pleasant surprise.

"Certainly..."

Herta was about to boast a bit when he suddenly remembered Vilvie's spying and Ruan Mei's evaluation when he first connected...

"But you're not allowed to use it for strange things!"

"Of course."

... This guy answered so quickly it was a little unsettling.

A slight sense of regret welled up in Herta.

Before Herta could say anything, Liu Bai picked Herta up.

Thump!

... and then I got punched by a little fist.

However, as mentioned before, these dolls were not equipped with combat modules.

So it doesn't hurt... it's actually quite arousing?

"... Never mind, it's just a doll anyway. Just don't forget the important business."

The word "regret" doesn't exist in the dictionary of a perfect genius.

"If you need to pass on a message, just tell her directly."

The falling Herta bounced back onto the sofa in an instant.

"And then... is there anything I can help you with now?"

"Hmm..."

"Don't worry about it, after all, objectively speaking, I'm employed by you."

It's completely unbelievable; I feel like a beast of burden being given a quest by an NPC.

... However, the Herta does indeed despise everyone equally.

"Sorry, then it's probably nothing."

Ruan Mei spoke up.

"Oh... that doesn't matter."

The little doll shrugged.

"I think so..."

Liu Bai was somewhat speechless. "For example, them."

Liu Bai pointed to Vilvie and the others.

"Herta, do you have time to teach them?"

"..."

The Herta remained silent.

She was already considering whether or not to disconnect now.

This person immediately brought up something she found extremely objectionable...

However, the Herta subsequently dismissed the idea.

The reason is simple—although the sun was high in the sky, she was still in bed.

If Liu Bai comes knocking on our door... that would be even more troublesome.

After all, if someone can work remotely, you can't expect them to get up on time!

"I guarantee these people are just as interesting Asta."

"... Do you really find this argument very tempting to me?"

Herta sighed.

"Alright, I'll take this job. But you don't need to keep them by my side. Just call the puppets when you're doing experiments, and I'll give you remote guidance. I'll also write a few more books for them in the meantime."

But since the other party had made such a bold promise and the request was reasonable, she had no reason to refuse.

"Truly worthy of being a senior scholar with a vast body of work."

Ruan Mei praised him, reading it aloud with a clear and concise tone.

Herta simply rolled his eyes at Ruan Mei.
