It's okay for me to bully my wife for the sake of the young master's dignity, right?

Chapter 448 [097] Bathhouse Episode Preparation for the Expedition
"thump!"

Vale's healthy skin was like a shining black diamond, which suddenly flashed before Qin Jiandan's eyes and sank into the water.

The dog-eared girl used the narrow bathtub as a swimming pool for diving, which only made it look even more cramped.

Unlike Fengjian who left (ran away) in time, Qin Jiandan was not wearing a swimsuit, and Valei was as bold as last time.

Due to the effect of the hot water and the inappropriate position, this time it almost became a negative distance! Vale frowned slightly, with a mixed expression of discomfort and endurance on his face.

"Damn! You're so energetic even when Mu Yue isn't here! I was fooled! The servants said you were taking a bath here!"

Qin Jiandan, who was hit by Vale and used the Steel Armor Breathing Technique, stretched out his hand to push the half-floating opponent away, and inevitably encountered the Q-elastic feeling again.

"Ware, you are becoming more and more outrageous. Why did you come to the outer city without saying hello? And you came to the territory of the Fallen Cherry Blossom Group?"

Vale shook the water droplets off the Husky's ears, and his two blue eyes reflected the ripples of the water:
"There was an invasion of Yin Beasts in the 2nd District of the Outer City. The Chief of Police sent me here to gather intelligence, and I just happened to meet you guys! Please rub my back, I was drenched by acid rain when I was riding a motorcycle!"

Walei turned around as flexibly as a dolphin, and his husky tail swayed happily underwater. The tail full of water further occupied Qin Jiandan's private space.

Qin Jiandan used his fingers to wipe off the acidic attachments on Walei's back (mainly the neck), but didn't touch much. Walei must have been wearing a raincoat when riding a bike.

The delicate and smooth touch contrasted with Vale's carefree personality. She breathed softly to relieve the pain of falling, and the sound mixed with the sound of water hitting her skin.

"I saw Mu Yue's police car cleaning its interior. Did you have sex in the car? Why did you make the interior so dirty?"

Qin Jiandan grabbed the beast-eared girl's tail underwater and warned her not to talk nonsense.

"We transported a pregnant woman who fainted in a puddle! The other pregnant woman was not pregnant with my child!"

"Eh? I didn't say it was your child. What do you mean by trying to cover up something?"

"Anyway, you're going to be as mean as Feng Jian, so I'll block you out in advance. Mu Yue is going to handle work remotely, so remember to come find us after you take a shower."

As he spoke, Qin Jiandan stood up from the pool.

I can't keep hanging out with Vale. The more I hang out, the more my head gets swollen.

Vale held onto Qin Jiandan with an unsatisfied look on his face: "The next high will come in these few days, and I don't want to take medicine with serious side effects..."

"Ah? Is the time correct? Didn't the last high coincide with Zhu Shengzhi's funeral..."

"Don't mention it! Didn't I time travel with you? And when I time traveled, I became a dog, so my biological clock was completely messed up! Anyway, if I think it's almost time, then it's almost time. I'll leave it to you when the time comes!"

Qin Jiandan rolled his eyes: "People and dogs have different paths. I have principles. Anyway, you should convince Mu Yue first!"

※※※

Xiao Xia followed the instructions of the young master (and Fengjian) and arranged Sheriff Mu Yue to a quieter room.

After personally delivering a bunch of snacks including cashews, rice crackers, dried persimmons, seaweed sesame sea salt biscuits, and dried cranberries, Xiao Xia laughed outside the room:

"Fufufufu~ These are all from buying too much and not finishing them, and they are past their expiration date. Just wait for your diarrhea!"

However, the sheriff was not used to eating outside of mealtimes, and she was concentrating on reading the case files on the recorder and did not touch the pile of snacks at all.

There were no chairs in this tatami-filled room. People with longer legs found it more difficult to kneel. Mu Yue changed several postures and had to stand up every once in a while to stretch her sore legs.

The guest follows the host's wishes. Mu Yue did not ask to change rooms. She did not expect Xiao Xia to arrange it this way on purpose.

Mu Yue stood up and stretched her legs again, then walked out of the room and took a walk along the corridor to change her mood.

"What's going on? You don't look like you're going to have diarrhea..."

Xiao Xia, who was lying in ambush nearby, rushed into the room. Next to the recorder left by the sheriff, the dried fruits in the snack plate seemed to have decreased, but also seemed to have not decreased.

Xiao Xia didn't expect that the sheriff could completely resist eating snacks. She leaned over suspiciously and sniffed the smell of the snacks.

"Could it be that these snacks are not expired at all, and Fengjian deliberately lied to me that they are expired in order to restrict me from eating snacks?"

“Damn it! There’s my favorite Shingen Mochi in here! Fortunately the sheriff didn’t eat it! Since it’s not expired, I can enjoy it…”

“Mmmmm…Mmmmm…”

"Eh? Hey, my stomach hurts! It hurts so much, even worse than my period! Could it be that the snacks are expired? The sheriff is so cunning. He ate these expired snacks without batting an eyelid. He wants to die with me!"

When Mu Yue came back from her walk, she saw Xiao Xia running out of the room, holding her stomach and running in the opposite direction of the corridor.

"Just wait and see! It won't just be like this. The only time you can be proud of is now, ahhhh..." Mu Yue was confused and had no idea what was going on.

As Qin Jiandan returned from taking a bath, Mu Yue learned that Walei had come to the castle tower, and also heard from Fengjian that Walei had used the "depth charge" again.

"No wonder the motorcycle sound I heard earlier sounded so familiar... So Vale, when you broke into the bathhouse, your original target was me?"

"Oh, attack is so ugly!" Valei scratched her white hair that looked like fluffy clouds after taking a shower and blow-drying. Her brown skin looked rosy because of the hot water. "It's just that I haven't seen you for a few days. I have to replenish Mu Yue's energy!"

Mu Yue put one hand on Vale's chin to stop him from hugging her without permission.

"You should go and replenish your omelette energy with Omelette. Aren't you guys enjoying a nice bath together?"

Vale's tail began to wag behind him, much louder than when he saw Qin Jiandan.

"Mu Yue, don't be jealous! We are just trying to save water! This shows that I am a person who can live a good life. From now on, the three of us will live a good life, which is better than anything else!"

Mu Yue snorted: "You are already an unqualified family member."

"I'm not a family member, I'm the dog of the family! No matter what the dog does wrong, it will be forgiven! Woof woof!"

Xiao Xia seemed to have no appetite during lunch.

"Damn Sheriff, he's from the inner city, but his digestive system is stronger than mine..."

"What are you whispering about?" Vale keenly caught the key words.

"Nothing much... Anyway, I have a stomachache, so I won't go with your Yin Beast hunting this afternoon. Without me staying to take charge, the Falling Cherry Blossom Group will be in big trouble."

Even without a stomachache, Staff Officer Fengjian's appetite was about the same as Xiaoxia's now, and far inferior to the voracious eater Vale.

"It's fine for you to stay in the castle tower. Anyway, the young master and I don't expect you to be of any use. When you were 10 years old, were you scared to the point of peeing your pants when you saw the Yin Beast from a distance?"

"No! Don't lie to reduce my attractiveness to the young master! I don't fight the Yin Beast because ninja training only targets the vital parts of humans. It is difficult to deliver a critical hit to the zombie-like Yin Beast! And my stomach..."

The red-haired female ninja groaned "Ouch, ouch", but it didn't look like she was acting.

Qin Jiandan handed a glass of soda on the table to Mu Yue and said with a smile, "Xiao Xia's wisdom teeth just came out, and now she has a stomachache. She is really an expert at dawdling."

Mu Yue drank lemon soda through a straw, trying her best not to make any slurping sounds.

"Ware is in charge of the police department's reconnaissance mission. As the chief of police, I have no choice but to go with her. Jiandan, don't be too confident. The Steel Armor Breathing Technique will be disrupted by large Yin beasts. If that underground giant beast breaks out of the ground, you must retreat with everyone."

Qin Jiandan was reluctant to let his wife take risks, but the defense of the giant Yin beast was almost the same as the Steel Armor Breathing Technique. Apart from a "Red Blade Crystal Energy Sword" used by a martial arts master, only Mu Yue's "Moonlight Justice" could be regarded as a trump card against the giant Yin beast.

"Well, let's put aside the matter of buying an armored bus from the Chief of Police for now. Vale, the Chief of Police sent you to investigate the invasion of the Yin Beasts. Didn't he give you any powerful weapons?"

In between swallowing, Vale replied, "The chief of police only gave me the task of reconnaissance. He didn't say that I had to go up and fight the Yin Beast!"

Whether intentionally or accidentally, Vale pronounced "yin" as "yin".

"I guess so." Qin Jiandan decided, "Then Fengjian will mobilize the heavy weapons and vehicles of the Luoying Group and set off with everyone at 2 pm. Mu Yue's police car and Vale's police motorcycle will also be replaced with sand tires to enhance mobility."

"Hmmm" Vale's cheeks were puffed up and she made satisfied sounds from time to time.

This lunch was clearly of medium standard at Qin Jiandan's request, but the dog-eared girl was not picky about food, and that did not stop her from using her mouth and tongue to feel the temperature and texture of the food.

"Also, what Xiaoxia said just now is not entirely wrong. Ninjas, assassin-type warriors who are trained to target the vital points of the human body, are indeed twice as effective against Yin beasts. Fengjian, go find some sturdy men who can handle heavy weapons, such as power hammers and chain guns, and replace them with Ichiro and Jiro."

"Fufufu~ I was right, wasn't I? I still have leadership skills!"

Xiao Xia jumped for joy when she was praised, but soon she fell back on the table because of stomach pain.

Feng Jian finally added: "I will bring enough Mingguang Sky Curtain Generators, and vehicle-mounted ones are preferred, so that we can set up the formation when the time comes."

After some preparation, Qin Jiandan and others set out on their journey.

In the time travel incident, Qin Jiandan saw the Ainu village 5 years ago, but he didn't expect that 5 years later it had turned into a ruin covered with sand and gravel.

A few damaged solar panels vaguely record traces of civilization. The collapsed church is looming in the embrace of the sand dunes. The broken walls are eroded by wind and sand, revealing a hollow skeleton.

The wind howled among the ruins, blowing up fine sand and making a sound similar to crying. Tires and tracks left deep marks in the sand. Beyond the roar of the vehicle's engine, it seemed that something could be heard crawling underground, preparing to launch a fatal attack on its prey...
