Night fell over the city.
Downtown Zhuzhou was brightly lit.
Qixi Night was especially lively.
With Zhao Lingyun acting as their "tour guide," and under the protection of several dozen bodyguards from Tiandun Company, Lin Mo and Ning Xi spent the entire evening visiting all kinds of places, including the food street, the sleepless city, the underground amusement park, and the fantasy shopping mall.
They sampled all kinds of local Zhuzhou food.
Lin Mo also bought clothes for both Ning Xi and Zhao Lingyun.
Ning Xi was like a walking clothes rack.
No matter what she wore, it looked beautiful on her.
[Inside a Fitting Room at the Mall]
While Ning Xi was helping Zhao Lingyun change clothes, Zhao Lingyun looked at Ning Xi with unconcealed envy.
"Ning Xi, your boyfriend treats you so well."
"Does he?", Ning Xi wanted to know how others saw the way Lin Mo treated her, so she asked, "Sister Ling'er, what makes you say that?"
Zhao Lingyun said enviously, "Ever since we left the hotel, Lin Mo has been holding your hand the entire night. No matter where we went, he never let go."
"Didn't you notice? He practically wanted to come into the fitting room and help you try on clothes. He's terrified of losing you."
"And he hasn't looked at his phone once all night. From beginning to end, his eyes have only been on you. It's like you're the only person in his world."
"Even when you're eating, he always takes the first bite himself before giving it to you. He's testing it for poison."
"Ning Xi, where did you find a boyfriend who treasures you so much?"
Hearing those words made Ning Xi happier than ever.
She had heard people say that once a man got the woman he wanted, he would stop cherishing her.
Having never been in a relationship before, Ning Xi had worried about that too.
But ever since she gave Lin Mo her first time last night, he had become even more caring and attentive toward her.
That put her completely at ease.
"Sister Ling'er, you'll find a boyfriend who loves you just as much."
Zhao Lingyun smiled, "I hope so!"
Just then, Lin Mo's voice came from outside the fitting room, "Xiao Xi, why aren't you out yet?"
"Is everything okay?"
Zhao Lingyun couldn't help turning to look at Ning Xi, who was zipping up her dress for her.
"See? He's afraid you'll disappear inside the fitting room."
Outside the fitting room, a row of bodyguards between 1.8 and 1.9 meters tall, each weighing over a hundred kilograms, stood there holding milk tea, skewers, handbags, clothes, shoes, and other things that looked completely out of place in their hands.
Meanwhile, Lin Mo kept pacing anxiously while looking at an old news article on his phone about a couple overseas whose fiancee disappeared inside a fitting room and was later found mutilated into a human pig.
"Brother Lin Mo, it's okay! We'll be done in a minute!"
Only after hearing Ning Xi's voice from inside the fitting room did Lin Mo finally breathe a sigh of relief.
A little while later, Ning Xi and Zhao Lingyun came out together.
As expected, Ning Xi's new outfit once again left the entire row of bodyguards stunned.
"Brother Lin Mo, does it look good?"
"It does."
"You didn't even look!"
"I don't need to look to know it looks good. Buy it!"
"Hmph!"
Even though the company had strict rules, the bodyguards still couldn't help whispering among themselves.
"The boss's girlfriend this time is unbelievably beautiful! And she's so nice too. The boss must've saved the galaxy in his previous life to find a girlfriend like her."
"I'd protect her for free if I had the chance!"
"The boss isn't bad either. He even bought us milk tea."
"Are you sure he wasn't just using us to test it for poison?"
"So what if he was? The boss pays us that much money, I'd even eat shit for him!"
"I couldn't do that, no matter how much money. It's not about the pay. I just really can't eat that stuff! I couldn't swallow it, and it'd get stuck in my teeth!"
"?"
———
By the time they returned to the hotel, it was already eleven o'clock at night.
Perhaps because she was too tired, after Ning Xi finished showering, by the time Lin Mo came out of the bathroom, he found that she had already fallen asleep on the bed.
Looking at Ning Xi sleeping peacefully on her side like a little kitten, still as captivating as ever even in her sleep, Lin Mo couldn't help leaning down and gently kissing her forehead.
"Good night."
Just as he straightened up, he noticed that Ning Xi had opened her eyes at some point.
She blinked her big eyes as she looked at him.
Only then did Lin Mo realize, "So, Ning Xi, you were pretending to be asleep."
"Hehe~"
"You dared to trick me. You deserve punishment!"
"I won't do it again, Brother Lin Mo! I won't next time!"
"There won't be a next time. Sentence will be carried out immediately."
Lin Mo pressed himself onto Ning Xi's soft body.
Then casually pulled the blanket over them.
According to Zhao Lingyun, the places they had visited that night weren't even one-fifth of what Zhuzhou had to offer.
So Lin Mo and Ning Xi decided to stay in Zhuzhou for a few more days before returning to Ning'an.
The next morning at eight.
After finishing breakfast in the hotel restaurant, the three of them returned to their rooms and logged in.
———
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Three beams of white light descended upon the bustling Inferno City.
The first thing they did after logging in was check the income from the Divine Might Tower.
As the territory lord, Ning Xi opened the Divine Might Tower information panel.
After just one glance, she said happily, "From last night until now, it's generated another 400,000 Reputation."
"Brother Lin Mo, we're only 140,000 Reputation away from our target of 3,258,640 now."
It seemed the Divine Might Tower's income had become very stable.
Lin Mo nodded with satisfaction, "There's still four hours left before the final submission deadline for the Yama Hall reward."
"Even relying on the tower's natural income will be enough."
"But just to be safe, let's go farm a few more bosses."
The moment Ning Xi finished speaking, Lin Mo said, "Oh? You've learned to answer before I do this time."
So, just like before, Lin Mo posted a message in Inferno City's chat channel offering to buy boss locations.
Soon, players began sending him private messages one after another with boss coordinates.
Just as Lin Mo was about to take Ning Xi to hunt down the bosses, a familiar voice suddenly called out from behind him.
"Rulebound!"
Lin Mo turned around and saw a level 51 Dark Mage... Tyrannosaur.
Lin Mo had actually been wondering.
Ever since the Divine Tomb dungeon ended the day before yesterday, Tyrant, Tyrannosaur, and even Nether had all gone completely quiet over the past two days.
He hadn't expected Tyrannosaur to suddenly appear right in front of him like this.
Just as Lin Mo thought Tyrannosaur and Tyrant had come up with some brand-new scheme to set him up again, Zhang Long suddenly ran over.
Without saying another word, he dropped to his knees before Lin Mo with a thud.
"Rulebound! Brother!"
"I sincerely apologize for everything Brother Jun and I did before!"
"And I'm willing to tell you everything I know about the Boss!"
"I only ask one thing..."
"Please avenge Brother Jun for me!"
