"So, can't we do it tonight?"

Lu Xiaoyao watched as Mu Chen, dressed in black, came alone to talk to her and the others, mentioning that cooperating with Lena was a problem.

Lena meant that they should wait until Mona returned next weekend before taking action.

Mu Chen didn't tell them Mona's true identity, only saying that she was an NPC specially designed by the game developers to help everyone.

Besides them, Mingmei also informed Bai Xiao and Yuan Fang of the same message.

However, judging from Mingmei's feedback, Bai Xiao and Yuan Fang seem to be somewhat averse to Lillian.

Mingmei didn't know if it was their own wariness of Lillian or the characters' dislike of Lillian, but in any case, they hadn't expressed any opposition yet.

Meanwhile, Lu Xiaoyao seemed to be reaching her limit with Mona.

"Why? Why was there another week?"

Not getting a reply from Mu Chen, Lu Xiaoyao's face instantly turned sour, and she started complaining.

Then she turned to look at Julian, and then mustered her courage to look at Mu Chen, boldly asking, "Are you going to set up some kind of trap?"

"No, that's not it." After saying that, Mu Chen's gaze immediately locked onto Lu Xiaoyao, and he said, "It's what you need to prepare."

"Huh?"

Now it was Lu Xiaoyao's turn to be dumbfounded.

What does she need to prepare?

"You should already have a guess what Mona wants from you." As Mu Chen said this, Lu Xiaoyao's expression instantly turned serious.

"Yes, she wants me to fall into depravity... and even tries to force me when things don't go her way."

Just like last night, Mona suddenly went crazy and almost pounced on Julian!

Well, thankfully, she hasn't stooped so low as to engage in this cosplay father-daughter hobby with Julian.

It's amazing she managed to control herself!

"So how did you do it?"

Mu Chen learned from Mingmei that Lu Xiaoyao was pretending to be a bad person, but Lu Xiaoyao's own description made it seem like she was portraying someone else entirely. (M.cascoo.net)

"I'll just pretend I've fallen into depravity..."

I don't know if Mingmei's words were too realistic, or if Lu Xiaoyao's rhetoric was too superb, but in any case—Lu Xiaoyao: I'm trying my best to play the role of a bad person.

"But this thing doesn't hold up well." Lu Xiaoyao was quite distressed by the end, saying she'd even lost a layer of hair because of it!

Lu Xiaoyao is probably worried that this data won't reflect on her actual physical condition, right?

She didn't want to end up with her hair in the game pod after playing a game!

"I've been taking her out for a week now, and she keeps saying she wants to do something naughty, but she hasn't done it at all. I'm afraid that when we go back this time, she'll try to get me to do something naughty!"

"Then just do it. If it really doesn't work out, don't feel guilty about doing it." Julian thought for a moment and offered Lu Xiaoyao a last resort.

After all, among all the games people have played, there are always a few that challenge their personal limits.

“But…” Lu Xiaoyao looked even more troubled as she spoke, “If it were just simple killing, that would be one thing… But back then, in order to avoid killing, I bragged to Mona about all sorts of inhumane ways of killing… Hey! Let me make it clear first, I only heard about these things, I never did them! Not even the kind of killings in the game!”

Julian: "..."

After hearing what Lu Xiaoyao said, Mu Chen understood.

No wonder Mona was patiently waiting for Lu Xiaoyao. If Lu Xiaoyao actually did this, it would truly be an eye-opener for her!

But who knew that Lu Xiaoyao was a master of empty promises?

"Didn't you ever think that the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment? If you keep Mona hanging like this, and she eventually finds out you won't do these things, have you ever considered that she might use those very words against you?"

Mu Chen wasn't exaggerating. Given Mona's personality, if she found out someone was playing a trick on her, she would definitely make them pay.

"No, no, no, no, that can't be right?!"

Sure enough, Lu Xiaoyao turned pale with fright upon hearing this, and began to stammer.

She had never thought of what Mu Chen said!

At worst, she can just kill herself like Hu Yue did!

She quit the game!

"What do you think?" Mu Chen's eyes were icy cold, which made Lu Xiaoyao shudder again.

"I... I still think I can survive a bit QAQ!"

"Oh, good luck? Just try to survive another week~"

...

"Daisy? You don't look well. Did you have a bad week at home?"

Ever since Mu Chen gave her that lecture last night, Lu Xiaoyao has completely lost her energy and spirit.

She looks more like a gloomy, wicked woman now.

But the evil woman's eyes were too innocent, and she seemed to have no will to live.

"Without the lady of the house, everything is a mess. It took me ages to clean up after I got back... I'm exhausted."

Mona smiled when Lu Xiaoyao said that, and said, "Isn't that perfect?"

As they were talking, Mona took advantage of Lu Xiaoyao's momentary lapse in attention to link her arm with hers and whispered, "Didn't you say... you wanted to be the mistress of this house? If you are the mistress, you will naturally have to do more of these things."

"You don't want to?" Suddenly, Lu Xiaoyao glanced at Mona, who was clinging to her arm, and asked, "Don't you want to be the mistress of your house?"

Mona: "..."

This question really stumped Mona.

In the past, if asked this question, her answer would definitely be yes.

She wanted to be the mistress of that house.

But now Mona is hesitant.

For some reason, the thought of Lillian made Mona feel inexplicably irritable.
