45. "Invitation"

Tong Muxue was still worried that Yimo would catch a cold, so the first thing she did was buy Yimo a white down vest to wear.

But looking at the white tulle skirt covering Yimo's calves, he still felt a little guilty and would occasionally suggest, "Why don't you put on some pantyhose?"

"That's really no different from tight-fitting thermal pants, so there's no need to worry about it."

"And the skirt is long, so nothing will be visible."

"Hmm... how about I change into some jeans?"

At this moment, Tong Muxue's image is that of a cool and aloof Onee-san, but when she speaks, she becomes quite talkative, talking much more than usual, like a nagging old woman.

Because of the role she was playing, Yimo was holding Tong Muxue's arm and couldn't help but tease her, "My Little Rich Girl, you don't seem like my girlfriend anymore, you're more like my old woman!"

Upon hearing this, Tong Muxue pouted, somewhat unconvinced, but her expression was rather cute.

However, Yimo that she would be even cuter if she didn't wear makeup and looked like her natural self.

The two found a Western Dining Room in the Shopping Mall and sat by the window. They ate their food slowly while watching the Public Security Officer, Security Personnel, and thugs running back and forth, some of whom were even panting heavily from exhaustion.

One minute they were shouting that a fight had broken out in the hallway, the next they were shouting that the Public Security Officer were going to arrest them and that the fighters should run away.

In short, it was very lively.

The entire Shopping Mall became exceptionally lively because of Yimo and Tong Muxue.

On the contrary, the two instigators were eating quietly and elegantly in the Western Dining Room, barely saying a word during the meal.

Yimo: "You look a bit strange. Your cheeks are always flushed, and your eyes are wandering around, looking everywhere. It's like you're sick or have done something wrong?"

"Wait, you didn't do something big again without my knowledge, did you?"

Tong Muxue's behavior was strange; she was completely unlike her natural self when she was with him before.

Upon hearing this, Tong Muxue took a small sip of orange juice, shook her head, and sighed, "I want to do something big, but there's nothing big to do anymore..."

"Well..." Tong Muxue looked at Yimo's face, unable to hold back her own blushing, and turned her head to say, "My Boyfriend is even prettier than me, and more feminine..."

"I feel like my spirit has been deeply wounded, and I don't know whether I should be happy or unhappy."

Upon hearing this, Yimo immediately shut up and dared not say another word.

Indeed, he knew better than anyone what he looked like when he dressed up.

If she weren't exceptionally stunning, her Childhood Sweetheart Xia Yuxi wouldn't be so infatuated that she'd want to dress as a woman 24/7 without removing her makeup.

Yimo also made a silent vow in her heart.

This is the last time, and I will never dress like a woman again!!!

But thinking about this, Yimo realized that the main objective of this Game at this stage is to hide and capture their forces.

On the contrary, dressing as a woman is the best disguise, so I might as well postpone this last time until after the Game is over.

Wait a minute, is it possible to set up a trap and wipe out all the forces chasing me?

emmm...

Forget it, that would probably require blowing up the entire city.

It's too difficult, let's not consider it for now.

After the two finished their meal, they strolled around the Shopping Mall for a while and, around noon, stumbled upon a wedding ceremony on the Level 3.

Tong Muxue was immediately drawn to the photo of the bride and groom in Wedding Dress and Suit on the signboard at the entrance. Her heart warmed, and she pulled Yimo, insisting on going inside to take a look.

There were over 40 tables inside, and a lot of guests. The two of them randomly found a table at the back and sat down, then started watching the interaction between the bride and groom on stage.

During this time, people at the same table would also strike up a conversation with Yimo, asking who she was to the woman.

Everyone knows that Yimo is a master liar.

After rambling on for a while, he quickly struck up a conversation with several young men and women at the table, and some even asked for Yimo's contact information.

But Tong Muxue stopped her, and in the end, she didn't get it.

Yimo, meanwhile, was secretly chuckling to herself as she ate sunflower seeds.

Tong Muxue is the kind of girl who's quite possessive of her food.

Most wedding scenes are the same, nothing more than vows, exchanging rings, hugging, kissing, and tossing the bouquet.

After reaching a certain age, having seen so much, one no longer feels anything.

But since Yimo wasn't that old and didn't have many friends or family, it was her first time attending a wedding, and she thoroughly enjoyed it.

Tong Muxue was similar, her eyes filled with expectation, yet also with a somewhat complicated expression.

Actually, Tong Muxue wanted Yimo to try catching the bouquet, but knowing that Yimo wasn't in good physical condition and that there were many people catching the bouquet at the wedding, she was afraid he would be pushed off the stage by others, so she didn't say anything.

Yimo, who is usually very sensitive to emotions, was so engrossed in watching that she didn't notice Tong Muxue's slight disappointment.

The two people ran out before the bride and groom sat down to toast the guests.

Yimo suddenly noticed that Tong Muxue seemed a little downcast, so she couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? You don't seem very happy."

Tong Muxue was honest, shaking her head and smiling, "I want to marry Mr. Sakata."

Yimo was taken aback upon hearing this, wondering if it could be considered Wish.

If we're talking about Wish, given their situation—whether it's their age or being hunted all over the world—they're destined never to get married. Not wanting to ruin their chances, they joked, "You're only 18 by the Chinese age reckoning; getting married is way too early!"

"Take your time!"

Tong Muxue smiled wryly upon hearing this and nodded, "Indeed, but..."

"How about we go take some Wedding Dress photos?"

Yimo: "Is it considered Wish?"

Tong Muxue: "It's not that hard to achieve, so can't it be considered Wish?"

Yimo: "If you say it's Wish, I'll go with you!"

Tong Muxue pouted, not quite understanding why Yimo so persistent in her Wish.

It gave her a vague feeling that Yimo was with her only to fulfill a few of her Wish, and that he would disappear completely once those wishes were fulfilled.

There was a vague unease, so I didn't say anything.

Seeing that it was unlikely to become Wish, and that it would only lower Tong Muxue's favorability, Yimo smiled and said, "I'll go with you, it's not difficult."

"Out of the Shopping Mall?"

Tong Muxue was overjoyed upon hearing this. "Alright, let's go now!"

Yimo: "Let's check the situation on the first floor first, see if there's any chance."

The first floor is still under strict security, so we can't get out anytime soon.

But just then, Qian Jiuwan and the Rat King came down from the elevator, both looking exhausted and far less energetic than when they were seen that morning, like two brothers in distress.

At this moment, it can be observed that although the Public Security Officer at the Shopping Mall entrance are still conducting checks, many have also left, which is somewhat puzzling.

But Yimo was also quite bold, and actually dragged Tong Muxue along to Qian Jiuwan and the Rat King.

Tong Muxue whispered to Yimo, "Isn't it... too dangerous?"

Yimo shook her head and told her, using the words Tong Muxue had once told her, "The most dangerous place is the safest place."

Qian Jiuwan and the Rat King both had a good impression of Yimo in women's clothing, completely unaware that they had been tricked, and even greeted her warmly.

This is especially interesting.

Tong Muxue and Yimo stood in the middle, while the Rat King and Qian Jiuwan stood on either side.

Yimo: "Um... Big brother... did you manage to persuade Uncle?"

Rat King: "Hey, how can I possibly persuade Brother Jiuwan? I can't persuade him, I can only mind my own business."

Yimo: "Uncle, did you catch that 'Abyss Dao Companion'?"

"Uncle is amazing!"

Qian Jiuwan: "Hey, what a joke... I just got word that he escaped using some method. He was seen by many people elsewhere, and they've reported it to the Security Post."

Hearing this, Yimo was also taken aback.

He and Tong Muxue never left the Shopping Mall, so why were they seen elsewhere, and by more than one person?

Is someone impersonating me and Tong Muxue?

What is the purpose?

Enemy or friend?

With too little information available at the moment, Yimo couldn't make a judgment, but she successfully followed Qian Jiuwan and the Rat King out of the Shopping Mall.

They were standing right between two people, and the Public Security Officer at the door didn't even bother to check them; they were perfectly safe!

After leaving the Shopping Mall, the Rat King came over again to chat. "Little sister, look, we've met again. It's fate. This time, please give me your contact information?"

Yimo: "That doesn't count, we didn't even leave the Shopping Mall!"

"Next time~ I'll definitely do it next time!"

The Rat King also had important matters to attend to, so he didn't linger with Yimo. He kept the matter in mind and left.

And so, Yimo, holding Tong Muxue's hand, successfully escaped and headed towards the exit of West Street through the Small Alley.

He was torn between accompanying Tong Muxue to take Wedding Dress photos first, or taking a taxi and escaping the city.

Taking Wedding Dress photos is honestly too dangerous, but I promised Tong Muxue anyway. If I didn't go, given Tong Muxue's reckless nature, I was afraid she would cause something even bigger.

Just as she was hesitating, Yimo sensed something was amiss.

The entire alleyway Xianggang had gradually become eerily quiet, with no passersby appearing.

Something's wrong!!!!

This is the Dingsheng Commercial Street on a Sunday!

Even in Small Alley, how could there be not a single pedestrian?

Yimo something was wrong, cold sweat was already dripping down her forehead, and she wanted to turn around and look.

But before he could even turn around, a handsome man in a white suit with a rose pinned to his chest appeared at the end of the Hutong. He looked every bit the gentleman, with a gentle smile on his face.

This person is Wan Qianhua!

Yimo frowned slightly, inwardly realizing something was wrong, but since she was currently pretending, she didn't think she would definitely be recognized, so she acted as if she didn't know him at all and walked away normally.

Wan Qianhua: "Young Lady Tong Muxue, Mr. Sakata."

"I am Wan Qianhua, and I have been waiting for you two outside for quite some time."

After speaking, he gave a gentlemanly bow.

Upon hearing this, Yimo was shocked, realizing that she had been seen through and there was no point in continuing to pretend. So she grabbed Tong Muxue and turned to run away with her.

Bang--!

But just as he was about to turn around, he was hit hard on the back of the neck. He immediately felt short of breath, his mind Blank, and his body fell to the ground.

He finally managed to vaguely make out who had hit him—it was An Bingyan's Butler!

"You mustn't hurt him!"

"Whether it's money or anything else, I'll give it to you!!!"

Tong Muxue's anxious voice reached Yimo's ears, and through her blurred vision, she saw Tong Muxue's panicked appearance.

For some reason, Yimo felt that it wouldn't be a loss to risk everything for her.

However, in the end, his body couldn't muster any strength, and his consciousness became increasingly clouded.

"Our Young Lady has invited you both to her residence for a gathering; we have been waiting for you for quite some time."

"If you don't Resistance, we won't hurt you."

Following the Butler's words, Yimo finally lost consciousness completely.
