When Xu Mu opened his eyes again, he instinctively rushed to the bathroom.
Seeing his face covered in scribbles in the mirror, he started washing them off without a word.
How... how could Jigglypuff be here?
[Ding! Congratulations, host! You have triggered a special event: Jigglypuff Battle!] [Find Jigglypuff within one hour and return him to his owner, Cynthia.] [Quest reward: Aura!]
The moment the Damn System appeared, Xu Mu understood.
The Jigglypuff that could put people to sleep by force was Cynthia's Pokémon!
If Xu Mu's earlier guess was right, then Jigglypuff's appearance in this world was no surprise.
He was Cynthia's Pokémon. That made everything fit.
(This is a huge mystery. Any prophets out there want to guess Cynthia's origins?)
After washing his face, Xu Mu returned to the private room. His Pokémon and Xu Lan'er's were sprawled asleep all over the floor, so he had little choice but to wake Xu Lan'er first.
Not that waking a beautiful woman was an unpleasant job.
As everyone knew... well, perhaps not everyone.
Any guy who'd had a girlfriend probably knew this: beautiful women were at their cutest when you woke them up!
That soft, sleepy murmur could melt your heart.
Of course, if you'd had a girlfriend and woken her up but never heard that sound...
Then I can tell you with confidence: you never found a place in her heart.
Enough of that. Xu Mu happily stepped forward, gently put an arm around Xu Lan'er's shoulders, and woke her.
(Dear readers, please keep your minds out of the gutter here. I'm afraid someone will report me. Sob~)
"Mmm~ Xiao Mu, what happened?"
Her voice was soft and sleepy as Xu Lan'er opened her eyes in confusion.
Xu Mu helped her onto the sofa to rest.
