"Chengling, your hair is in great condition. It's smooth and beautiful without any maintenance, and it doesn't split."

Dong Chengling was sitting in front of the dressing table. Behind her, Qiao Muyi was holding a comb in her left hand and a hair dryer in her right hand, helping her dry her hair.

"Maybe this is a small benefit brought by cultivation." Dong Chengling smiled and said, "I don't know whether my hair quality is good or not. I usually only use shampoo and conditioner. But my hair has grown longer, and it's a little troublesome to wash it every time."

Qiao Muyi asked, "I saw your photo not long ago. You had short hair then. You also had short hair in college. Why did you suddenly grow your hair long now?"

"Why do you keep your hair long..." Dong Chengling was a little confused. He closed his eyes and thought for a while, then said, "Maybe you think he will like it?"

"Did he ever say that he likes long hair?" Qiao Muyi looked at herself in the mirror and saw that she also had long black hair.

"Maybe, maybe not, but I remember..." Dong Chengling opened his eyes and said, "That day when he saw the nine-tailed fox coming down from the Tokyo Skytree, he stared at it and lost himself in thought."

Qiao Muyi chuckled: "You remember all this?"

The nine-tailed fox who still appears on the Internet from time to time does have black hair like a waterfall.

Qiao Muyi thought that if that idiot Ren Suo could see the enchanting nine-tailed fox walking down from the sky with his own eyes, he would be so excited that his eyes would fall out. Maybe he would even secretly regard the nine-tailed fox as his wife.

"No, I also think the nine-tailed fox is very beautiful, so I subconsciously learn from her." Dong Chengling smiled faintly: "I cut my hair short before because I thought it would take a lot of time to take care of it, and long hair is very hot in summer... Now that I have become a cultivator, I don't have to worry about these troubles."

Qiao Muyi: "That's right. Except for Bai Ji who is dressed like a polar bear, we ordinary monks can basically ignore the temperature changes."

"As a monk, many problems can be easily solved." Dong Chengling nodded and looked at Qiao Muyi in the mirror: "So, Xiao Qiao, what trouble do you have?"

Qiao Muyi turned off the hair dryer, combed her hair slowly, and said softly, "I can handle it."

"Can't you tell me about the trouble that can be solved?"

"Girls always have to have a little secret to attract men's attention... Although I don't know how Ren Suo noticed it, but Cheng Ling, have you learned it?"

Dong Chengling shook his head slightly and sighed: "Since you don't want to say it, then I believe you can handle it by yourself...but humans are social animals, and helping each other to move forward is the best way to move forward."

Qiao Muyi smiled and said, "You used to like to be independent and didn't need any friends. You went through four years of college alone."

Dong Chengling said nonchalantly: "I was wrong before, should I continue to make the same mistake? Ask other teachers for advice on how to use magic, gain more insights on the techniques from teaching students, and learn from Bai Ji and Zhao Huo to find the most suitable fighting method for myself... Although I don't mind being lonely, I would be happier if I had someone to travel with me."

"Xiao Qiao, you are also an important companion on my journey."

Qiao Muyi lowered her eyelids slightly and asked, "In fact, I have only known you for a few months. Why do you value me so much? You have never liked making friends."

"I don't know." Dong Chengling blinked his eyes. "Since I met him, I have more friends, Yueyan, Xianyu, Xiaoxingxing, Xiaoqiao, you..."

"All of these people you mentioned are his friends. Maybe this is because you love him and his dog?"

Qiao Muyi's words were meant as a joke, but Dong Chengling's answer was very serious: "No. When I was with you, I did feel very comfortable and at ease. Although I have only known you for a short time, I subconsciously felt that you would never hurt me, but would only help me.

So no matter what happens, I will help you, Little Joe."

"Got it." Qiao Muyi exhaled slightly, put down the comb, and said with a smile: "You want to go to bed too, right? I'll go to the guest room."

"Well, good night."

Dong Chengling touched his hair and felt that it was completely dry, then he went to bed, turned off the lights and went to sleep.

But at this moment, there was a knock on the bedroom door, and then it was pushed open.

Qiao Muyi hugged the pillow, tilted her head and said, "Sleep together tonight?"

"The bed is a little small." Dong Chengling said, "I have never slept with other people before. I don't know what my sleeping position will be like. Will I snore..."

"No, no, you must be an angel when you fall asleep."

Qiao Muyi giggled and threw herself on Dong Chengling holding a pillow.

————————

"Are you jealous, Suozi?"

Seeing a photo pop up on QQ showing Qiao Muyi hugging Dong Chengling, with the two of them wearing cute pajamas and sleeping on the same bed, their faces touching, their smiles as beautiful as flowers, Ren Suo's face turned black.

Ren Suo didn't expect that Qiao Muyi actually tricked Dong Chengling into bed. The only problem was that it had nothing to do with Ren Suo, and he could only look at the pictures.

He was just about to reply when he saw Qiao Muyi had gone offline.

Go⑧.

Ren Suo watched the rest of the movie obediently, but his thoughts were always on a bedroom less than a hundred meters away, and he didn't pay attention to the plot at all.

At this time, another message popped up.

But this time it was not a QQ message, but a message popping up from SKYPE.

Ren Suo only has two contacts on SKYPE, one is Yuffie Lamperouge, who has never spoken a word to him; the other is the 'Lady of Light', Kallen Lamperouge.

Since meeting the Lampeluki sisters in September, they have kept in touch with Ren Suo and Xiao Jiu after returning to the UK.

But generally speaking, it was Karen who chatted with Rensuo and Xiaojiu. Rensuo had learned that Yufei was now concurrently serving as the dean of the School of Magic, one of the four major schools of the British wizard school 'Aghim', and that her strength had greatly improved, becoming one of the famous wizards in the UK.

Because the population of the United Kingdom is far smaller than that of Xuan Country, there is only one wizard school in the United Kingdom. The school is divided into four major colleges - Lionheart Sword, Blade of Joy, Wand of Magic, and Pearl of Balance. Each college has different admission thresholds and training directions for students.

Among them, the Magic Academy is an aristocratic academy that specifically enrolls children of the rich and nobles. With Yuffie as the dean of the Magic Academy, she instantly brought the entire British upper class into contact with her. As a result, the Lampelukhi Group has expanded rapidly in recent days and is moving towards becoming a multinational chaebol.

Youfei had to be the dean, decide on the group's affairs, and practice and study, so she naturally had no time to chat with Rensuo. On the contrary, Karen had been studying and watching cartoons at home, and she didn't have many friends, so she often communicated with Rensuo and Xiaojiu on the Internet.

According to Kallen's family background, even if she had no friends, she would definitely have a full schedule. But unfortunately, she only has Yuffie, a relative who dotes on her. Moreover, Kallen herself is a genius. She can learn all talents quickly and reach the top of the UK with just a little practice. The only thing that can limit her from continuing to cheat is her age.

So, Kallen is very free, but Yuffie will never let other children get close to her - she would rather Kallen have no friends than let alienation, conspiracy, and jealousy pollute her beloved sister.

Besides, having an older sister is enough for a younger sister, why does she need friends?

As for Ren Suo and Xiao Jiu, they are the only exceptions, because they are far away in Xuan Country and have almost no conflict of interest with Kallen. Ren Suo is also a proven good man, and Xiao Jiu is a partner certified by Kallen. Both of them have won Yufei's recognition, so they have Kallen's contact information.

"Soso, I just ate a lava bun, it was delicious!"

Kallen seemed to think that names like 'mama', 'daddy' and 'jojo' were more intimate, so she simply called Ren Suo 'Sousuo'.

Ren Suo estimated the time. It should be around 5pm in the UK, which was exactly tea time. The British had four meals a day, with breakfast and dinner being particularly rich. They just had a casual lunch, and then felt hungry before dinner time, so they needed afternoon tea to fill their stomachs.

Ren Suo told everyone the menu for tonight's dinner and sent them some pictures from the Internet. Little Karen immediately replied, "So Suo, I want to eat it too!"

“You can ask your chef to make it.”

"We don't have a Xuanguo chef at home... I'll ask my sister to invite one back right away!"

"These dishes may not be made by just one chef."

"Then hire a team of chefs!"

Being too rich causes discomfort.

Ren Suo wondered why he had to follow what little Kallen said. A child's unintentional words were the most terrifying critical strike, which made Ren Suo realize that his wealth might just be Kallen's pocket money...

He was going to sleep and practice, and chatted with Kallen for a few words before saying goodbye, but at this time Kallen said, "My sister is working, I can't enter her office."

Ren Suo felt strange: "Even you can't get in?"

Kallen: "Yes, there are two bodyguards outside the door, they won't let me in! I want to sneak in and take a look."

This bear kid...

However, Ren Suo thought about it and guessed how Karen would peek. She was able to directly create an illusory clone and go underground, which meant that the solid wall was not an obstacle for her at all.

Ren Suo was not interested in listening to the secrets of the Lamperouge family, but when he came back from brushing his teeth, he saw Kallen replying to him: "So Suo, they are talking about fighting the demon king!"

Demon King?

Ren Suo was slightly startled, then he became interested: "What demon king?"

Kallen: "Soso, you don't know either?"

Ren Suo: “I don’t know.”

He really had never heard of any demon king, whether in reality or on the intranet.

Kallen: "Then I'll go listen again."

Ren Suo: “Ah… no need, no need…”

Kallen: "Soso has told me so much about the Asgard, I want to repay Soso."

What, you want to repay me? Can you give me a few hundred million in pocket money?

However, although Ren Suo thought about it, he never asked for any material rewards from Karin - not to mention whether this would end their friendship, but he still had to work in the Countermeasures System. What if Karin really gave him money, and the Countermeasures Bureau judged that he might have been corrupted by the evil bourgeoisie, wouldn't that cut off his path to cultivation?

So Ren Suo opened another movie to watch. Ten minutes later, Kallen popped up again and replied, "So Suo, they are going to fight a super powerful demon king! Many countries have gathered together for a meeting. There are white people, black people, brown people, and people who look like bears..."

Ren Suo asked, "How powerful is this demon king?"

Kallen: “I’ll go check it out.”

Ten minutes later, Karen replied, "That is a very powerful demon king, who can bring disasters to the entire world and create many believers, who then help the demon king kill people. How terrifying!"

...bring disaster?

Ren Suo recalled the information on the source of the chaos on the intranet, as well as the disaster news in the past few days. He was moved and continued to ask, "What else?"

A few minutes later, Kallen replied, "In addition to these, a handsome older brother said that the Watcher predicted the power of the Demon King. The more people are harmed by the Demon King, the more people are afraid of the Demon King, and the stronger the Demon King becomes! That's why the Demon King brings disaster and drives his followers!"

Ren Suo asked, "Isn't the Demon King very powerful now? Has he brought disaster to the whole world?"

Kallen replied, "Probably not, because no one knows who the Demon King is. They only know the name Demon King, but there are many characters called Demon King. Even if people are afraid of Demon King, they don't know which one to fear! If they are afraid of the Krabby Patty Demon King, then the real Demon King won't be afraid!"

What kind of anime does Kallen usually watch...

Ren Suo asked, "Who is the demon king?"

After a few minutes, Karen said, "I don't know. That handsome guy didn't tell me, but he knows who the Demon King is. In order to catch the Demon King and prevent him from becoming stronger through fear, the handsome guy asked all countries to block the information about the Demon King. Then he would have a private chat with the country where the Demon King is and lead the Watchers to personally participate in the capture operation."

Private chat is ok, will there be a pop-up window or something?

Ren Suo thought that the big countries actually cooperated to fight against the devil. It seemed that they were convinced that the so-called devil believers were closely related to the source of frequent disasters around the world.

Ren Suo thought his eavesdropping journey had come to an end, but he didn't expect Kallen to say, "Ah, they are arguing."

Ren Suo: "Why are you arguing?"

Kallen: "It seems that other countries are also going to join this operation. They also want to capture the Demon King."

Ren Suo felt strange. If they were just trying to capture him, it wouldn't matter who went, as long as they could kill the Demon King... Could it be that they wanted to capture the Demon King for extraordinary research, or to recapture him?

Indeed, a demon king who can rely on infinite fear to become stronger and bring disasters can become an extremely important trump card no matter which country he goes to.

Ren Suo: "So are we going to announce the Demon King's information now?"

Kallen: “I’ll go check it out~”

…

In a gorgeous room full of cute dolls, the little girl Karen was lying in the arms of a big bear doll, tapping her cell phone.

She put down her cell phone, clasped her hands together, closed her eyes, and a blue mist that was invisible to ordinary people floated from her body and gently floated into the next room.

Wherever her telekinesis can reach, her avatar can reach there.

The lovely blue phantom floated into Yuffie's office and tiptoed behind her.

You Fei is now looking at the computer screen. The screen in the middle and occupying the largest area is the live broadcast room of "Handsome Brother". In addition to "Handsome Brother", there are more than a dozen small live broadcast rooms. The people in the live broadcast rooms have different skin colors and are obviously from all over the world.

Yuffie was wearing headphones, so the blue phantom had to stick to the headphones to hear the voice of the ‘handsome brother’: “…In this case, the Watchers are willing to announce the information of the Demon King to all countries, but before we catch the Demon King, you must not make the information public, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous.

In addition, until the Watcher brings the Mirror of True Vision to illuminate the target, it is impossible to confirm whether the information predicted from the Devil's Followers is correct.

After all, this is just the result of a prophecy spell, and it could also be a trap set by the 'Devil'.

Therefore, if you spread the information too early, it will alert the real demon king."

It seemed that the important juncture had finally arrived, and the blue phantom listened more attentively:

"The true identity of the Demon King is that he is from Xuan Country. He is currently in Lianjiang, a coastal city in the southern part of Xuan Country, and serves as the captain of the 'Countermeasures Bureau', an official supernatural organization in Lianjiang, Xuan Country.

The name is Muyi Jo, which is pronounced in Xuanguo as Qiao Muyi.

At the same time, a picture of a girl appeared in the live broadcast room of "handsome brother". She had black hair, a smile, seductive eyes, and was wearing a black vest, the iconic equipment of the Xuanguo Countermeasures Bureau. It was someone that both Yufei and Kallen knew - the captain of the Countermeasures Bureau who was responsible for protecting their safety!

"It's actually her..." You Fei murmured in a low voice, her body trembled, and the mouse she was holding tightly was crushed by her in an instant!

…

Qiao Muyi's body trembled, and the hand holding Dong Chengling suddenly tightened!

Dong Chengling, who was awakened, didn't say a word. He hugged Qiao Muyi in his arms and touched her hair.

As Dong Chengling touched her, the trembling Qiao Muyi soon calmed down. She adjusted her sleeping position, rubbed against Dong Chengling's arms, and whispered, "I had a nightmare again..."

Dong Chengling said softly: "I'm here, don't be afraid."

"Yeah." Qiao Muyi's voice was unusually sweet: "I'm not afraid. I just dreamed that... you hate me."

"We won't hate you, we will always support you." Dong Chengling touched the back of Qiao Muyi's head and said kindly: "Go to sleep, everything will be fine when you wake up tomorrow."

"Um."

…

Seeing the new message pop up on SKYPE, Ren Suo blinked, and then blinked again, as if to make sure he was not seeing things.

There was no change in his expression. After a moment, he silently turned on the Small World game console.

“It’s a small world, and it’s fun.”

This time the startup tone is calm and gentle, like an old friend greeting you.

He opened "Upside Down", started loading the save file, and skimmed through the game's plot.

After a moment, he opened "Xiao Suo's Secret Diary" and carefully read through the sixteen pages of Xiao Suo's diary.

What not to do and what to do.

Where you shouldn't go, where you should go.

What not to say and what to say.

This diary describes everything clearly, but it is all about things in another world. Ren Suo cannot immediately reconcile the contents with reality.

Soon, he came to page 16.

The last sentence in the diary was still: "The Templar Chief's final blow of justice, the young master cannot dodge it."

Ren Suo looked at this sentence for a long time.

He quietly exited "Xiaosuo's Secret Diary". At this moment, he suddenly saw the option "I can only sigh that few people return to the world", and it glowed red like a reminder color.

"Time flies by once you've entered the arena"

"Life is a drunkenness"

"Worldly affairs are like tides and people are like water"

"I can only sigh that few people return to the Jianghu"

Ren Suo looked at these four lines for a while. Suddenly, he found that the pointer had moved to the fourth option without him noticing.

Realizing this, his palm immediately retracted as if it had touched a branding iron.

But soon, Ren Suo couldn't help but put his hand on the mouse again.

My fingertips felt like they were touching an antique iPhone that had been left behind by cavemen tens of thousands of years ago. I was extremely careful, as if I was afraid that the left button would be crushed by my fingers.

His fingertips stroked the left button over and over again, and Ren Suo shifted his gaze from the screen to the mouse. He tilted his head, watching his fingers dancing on the left mouse button that represented "OK", and slowly closed his eyes.

I don’t know how much time had passed, maybe it was dawn, maybe not, he suddenly burst out laughing:

"maid……"

Ren Suo let out a long breath, slowly opened his eyes, raised the corners of his mouth in a handsome arc, and crushed the mouse directly.
