Calling Your Fiancée "Sister-in-Law," Hajihu, You Really Outdid Yourself!

Z2 sprinted all the way, arriving near Suotuo City late at night.

"Come back and rest."

Bai Mu recalled the two little ones, then turned invisible and snuck into the city.

At the same time, he manipulated his doppelganger to get up, pretending to be hungry and heading downstairs to buy some late-night snacks from the staff, then found an opportunity to dismiss the doppelganger and switch back to his real body.

Just as he carried a bowl of noodles back upstairs, he saw an unexpected figure standing at his door.

"Little Night Owl, why are you standing at my door in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?"

Bai Mu took a bite of noodles and asked casually.

"I can't take it anymore."

Zhu Zhuqing, with dark circles under her eyes and bloodshot eyes, turned around with a face full of despair.

"The noise next door still hasn't stopped?"

Bai Mu looked stunned on the surface, but inside he was completely unbothered.

"—No."

The lamplight fell on Zhu Zhuqing's face, reflecting a sense of fragility that formed a strange contrast with her usual cold demeanor.

But the resentment radiating from her had already reached some kind of peak.

"So? What do you plan to do?"

Before the girl could say more, Bai Mu cut her off first: "Let me make this clear, there's no way This Master is switching rooms with you. At most, I'll leave you the couch."

Even though her suffering was all his doing, setting aside the facts, he was already providing free food and lodging and even gave her a Meditation Technique. What was wrong with her enduring a little hardship to give him some entertainment?

Where was the rule that you only get enjoyment without suffering?

Since when did such a good deal exist in this world?

A flicker of complexity passed over Zhu Zhuqing's face, then she nodded.

"—Fine!"

"Then come on in!"

Bai Mu opened the door and let the girl inside.

Perhaps having endured too much mental torment, the Little Kitten fell asleep as soon as she touched the couch.

It made Bai Mu even wonder if the Medicinal Power of the Whale Rubber he gave Dai Mubai had been too strong.

"Pretty cute, and plenty of figure too—too bad, no cat ears or tail since her martial soul isn't manifested."

After finishing his late-night snack, Bai Mu crouched in front of the girl and studied her for a while, then climbed into bed on his own and pulled the only blanket over himself.

"Good night, Little Kitten."

He said to the girl curled up on the couch from the night chill, then tightened the blanket around himself and drifted off to sleep.

A quiet night passed. The next day, perhaps because the previous night had been too exhausting, Bai Mu and Zhu Zhuqing didn't wake up until nearly noon.

"Creak~"

As luck would have it, just as they stepped out of the Blue Enchantress, the door to the Red Ocean across the hall opened at the same time.

Dai Mubai walked out with disheveled clothes, a few ambiguous red marks on his neck, and a face full of satisfaction.

He looked up and saw Bai Mu and Zhu Zhuqing, paused for a moment, then his gaze lingered on Zhu Zhuqing's face for a few seconds, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes—

This girl seemed somewhat familiar?

But the extreme pleasure of the previous night made him too lazy to think further. Instead, he winked at Bai Mu and grinned, "Morning, brother. This hotel's experience is pretty good, right? How did you and your sister-in-law rest last night?"

Sister-in-law?!

Bai Mu's expression turned slightly strange.

Calling your own fiancée by marriage 'sister-in-law'—Hajihu, you've really got some nerve!

Zhu Zhuqing's pupils contracted sharply.

She had imagined many scenarios of meeting Dai Mubai again, but never thought it would happen like this.

The moment she recalled the noises from next door the previous night, her face instantly darkened like ink, black beyond measure.

Hearing those words, her gaze turned as cold as a blade.

She had traveled all the way from the Star Luo Empire to Heaven Dou to find Dai Mubai, just to make him join her in bravely fighting against their fate.

And what was he doing?

Not only was he neglecting his training, but he was also fooling around everywhere, renting couple's hotel rooms every day to find women for entertainment.

And he even brought two at once!

Living right next door to her, torturing her relentlessly for an entire night!

One whole night!!!

She glanced at her [Green Parting], feeling like she was completely green with envy.

She shot Dai Mubai a cold glare, then turned and walked away quickly.

"Bro, why's your girlfriend got such a sour face? Don't tell me you underperformed last night?"

Dai Mubai was utterly confused, made a bold guess, then immediately rejected it: "No way! I see she's got dark circles under her eyes—you two must've been at it until late, right?"

Big bro, how did she get those dark circles? You've got the nerve to ask me?

Shouldn't you be asking yourself, her fiancé who found a pair of twins to torment her all night?

What? You don't know?

Not knowing is exactly right!

Bai Mu was roasting him internally, but his expression was perfectly natural as he sighed: "That's not it. We hadn't even confirmed our relationship yet; we slept in separate rooms last night.

She stayed in the room next to yours, but Dai Shao, your noise was too much. She couldn't take it and came to me, and then—

Mm—you know how it is."

Not a single lie in his words, yet they left plenty of room for imagination.

Dai Mubai listened, suddenly enlightened, and flashed a sly grin that only men would understand: "Haha~ Sorry about that, bro! It's all because your Whale Rubber was too potent. I couldn't help myself, caught up in the heat of passion!

Here, apologize to your lady for me. Next time you two lovebirds come around, all the expenses are on me!"

Bai Mu's expression turned incredibly colorful. You're telling me to bring your fiancée to a hotel, and you're footing the bill?

And there's such a good deal?

Bai Mu shot Dai Mubai several glances, repeatedly checking if this guy had some kind of weird fetish.

"Then it's settled!"

He patted Dai Mubai's shoulder firmly, his smile radiant, "When the time comes, Dai Shao, you'd better treat me to a good one!"

"Hahaha—of course! I'll tell the staff right away. Next time you come, just drop my name!"

Dai Mubai laughed heartily, then closed the door and strode off.

"Gotta go now. That stuff you had last night was too strong; I need to find someone else to blow off some steam. Got things to do during the day."

"Go ahead, Dai Shao. Have fun."

Bai Mu watched his retreating figure, a meaningful curve tugging at the corner of his mouth.

Then he walked downstairs with light steps and left the hotel.

Arriving at a restaurant near the hotel, he immediately spotted Zhu Zhuqing, her face icy cold.

"Oh! Why's Little Kitten all bristled up?"

Bai Mu sat down beside her with a grin.

Zhu Zhuqing clenched the teacup in her hand, her knuckles turning white from the pressure: "You already know?"

"Know what?"

Bai Mu poured himself a cup of tea, his tone relaxed: "That he's your fiancé? Or that he parties every night?"

"Fiancé—ha—"

Zhu Zhuqing gave a bitter smile, "To escape reality and fate, he came alone to Heaven Dou—when I heard he joined the legendary Shrek Academy to get stronger and change his destiny."

A mocking curve touched her lips: "Now it seems I was still too naive."

"Oh? So what now? What are you going to do?"

Bai Mu filled a bowl of rice, tasted a dish, and asked casually: "Plan to face fate alone, find some secluded place to hide, hope Dai Mubad works hard to fight fate together, or go back to Star Luo and steal your sister's man?"

In his eyes, if she just didn't want to die in the royal family's struggle, she could easily follow Tang Dachui's example and hide in some remote little place—no need to even change her name, and no one would find her.

But clearly, even Zhu Zhuqing, who seemed indifferent to fame and fortune, didn't have that idea.

"I—don't know—"

A flicker of confusion passed through Zhu Zhuqing's eyes, then hardened into resolve: "All I know is, no matter what, I have to get stronger. Very strong."

"Oh~ A feisty little kitten."

Bai Mu offered a dry compliment, then smiled: "Actually, there's another path for you."

"?"

Zhu Zhuqing looked up in confusion.

Bai Mu: "Call me master!"

Zhu Zhuqing: ==
