SSS-level catastrophe? That's my wife!

Su Nianhe's smile widened: "Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore."

"You can stay in whichever bedroom you want; no one else has ever lived in this villa except me."

At this point, she suddenly pressed herself against Lin Mu from behind.

Lin Mu could clearly feel two soft mounds pressed against his back. She wrapped her arms around his neck, her voice soft and cloying: "Or... should we sleep together?"

Lin Mu immediately broke free from her embrace, his heart inexplicably racing, but he forced himself to remain calm and said, "You should go to sleep early."

After saying that, he turned and walked towards a bedroom.

Watching his retreating figure, Su Nianhe recalled Lin Yan's words and couldn't help but laugh out loud, gently resting her chin on her hand: "Never been in a relationship... Lin Mu, what am I going to do about liking you more and more?"

Inside the bedroom, Lin Mu took off her coat and leaned against the headboard, a faint blush rising on her face.

He shook his head violently to clear his head, picked up his phone, and the moment the screen lit up, 99 messages popped up.

Lin Mu was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled, "You've made Yan Yan worry."

He replied in the chat box: I have some other things to do tonight, so I'm going back to Jiangcheng first.

The message was replied to instantly.

Lin Yan: Hmph, brother, you've changed. Now that you have a sister-in-law, you're starting to deceive your dearest sister!

Lin Mu: ? ? ?

Lin Yan: Stop acting, my sister-in-law has already messaged me.

She took you home! Bro, you two are already living together!

Lin Mu: I suggest you delete her; you're easily led astray.

Lin Yan: I don't accept your suggestion! I'm so sleepy, so sleepy. I'm relieved to know you and your sister-in-law are safe. Time for bed!

Lin Mu put down his phone, his face darkening, and muttered, "Su Nianhe, you really do have a loose tongue."

Suddenly, with a "click," the bedroom door was pushed open.

Lin Mu's eyes narrowed: "Entering the bedroom without knocking?"

"Mind your own business, this is my home." After saying that, Su Nianhe threw an unopened set of men's pajamas in front of Lin Mu.

"It's new, still unopened. It was prepared in advance for you, I didn't expect to use it so soon."

Before Lin Mu could respond, she had already closed the door again.

Lin Mu paused for a moment, then smiled faintly and changed into his pajamas.

A while later, just as he turned off the light and lay down, Su Nianhe's clear voice came from outside:

"Lin Mu, come to the washroom!"

Lin Mu raised an eyebrow: What is she up to now?

While thinking, the person had already stepped out of the room.

As they approached the bathroom, the sound of a shower running could be heard from inside. Su Nianhe's gentle voice rang out, "Could you get me a towel from outside?"

"It's so close, why don't you come out and get it yourself?" Lin Mu retorted.

"Isn't this what you're here for? Hurry up and hand it to me." As soon as she finished speaking, the sound of the shower stopped.

Lin Mu paused, sighed helplessly, and picked up the bath towel to walk to the bathroom door: "Come and get it."

After saying that, he turned his head away and closed his eyes.

The moment the door opened, a layer of steam drifted out, and a fair, delicate hand reached out, first tracing its way over Lin Mu's hand before taking the towel away, saying softly, "All done, thank you."

Behind the door, Su Nianhe's lips curled up slightly.

Lin Mu returned to the bedroom and lay down. Just as he was getting sleepy, the "click" sound rang out again.

The door opened again...

He frowned and looked up at her: "What's wrong with you now?"

Su Nianhe walked gracefully to the bedside, placed her hands on the edge of the bed, and said gently, "Goodnight, Lin Mu."

Lin Mu was a little confused: "You came in just to say that?"

"Yeah, I'm done talking, it's your turn." Su Nianhe leaned even closer.

Lin Mu met her gaze and calmly said, "Let's go to sleep."

"I don't want that, I want goodnight!"

"Goodnight, can you go back to sleep now?" Lin Mu reluctantly gave in.

"Sure."

As soon as she finished speaking, in the dimly lit room, Su Nianhe's red lips went straight to kiss Lin Mu.

The moment their lips touched, Lin Mu's mind went completely blank.

Su Nianhe walked away quickly, unable to suppress the smile on her lips.

This kiss made Lin Mu's heart race again, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.

After a long while, he got up, walked to the window, and lit a cigarette.

Amidst the swirling smoke, he murmured to himself, "Why can't I calm my mind?"

……

Inside a special care room on the top floor of the Central Building.

Elder Lei's roar was deafening: "Ah—I want Ning Mo dead! I want to tear Zhen'e Ting to pieces!"

As the door closed, two elderly men in black walked out with grim faces, and a suffocating silence filled the air.

The guards outside immediately bowed their heads: "Elder Shui, Elder Yu."

The two ignored them and left.

Elder Shui's voice was hoarse, his eyes blazing with anger: "What exactly does Zhen'e Court rely on? Didn't Ning Mo consider whether he could withstand our wrath?"

"What do you think? What else could they be relying on? That fire-elemental awakener, plus another person, just the two of them, can come and go freely in the kingdom headquarters."

"More than ten seventh-tier awakened individuals took action, and even the Azure King personally joined the fray, but what was the result? They failed to capture anyone, and all the laboratories in the ancient city were destroyed instead."

Elder Yu paused, then added in a deep voice, "This must be the reason why Zhen'e Court is so arrogant. If we act rashly, our fate will probably be even worse than Elder Lei's."

"This is too strange... How come two such powerful beings have suddenly appeared? Why did they never show themselves before? There are too many suspicious points," Elder Shui said in a deep voice.

Elder Yu sighed: "The central hub will soon no longer be our central hub. The two of us cannot afford any more accidents."

"Are we just going to let this go?"

"Otherwise what? Are we going to send more people to Zhen'e Court?" Elder Yu's voice was filled with a sense of powerless exhaustion.

……

7:00 AM.

Lin Mu walked out of the bedroom half-asleep, and heard the sound of running water coming from the bathroom.

He was somewhat surprised that Su Nianhe woke up so early.

As he approached the bathroom door, about to speak, Su Nianhe interrupted him with a smile: "Awake?"

"Don't rush off. I've had some toiletries delivered. Please sit on the sofa for a bit; they'll be there soon."

"Ding-dong—" The doorbell of the villa rang suddenly as soon as the words were spoken.

Su Nianhe chuckled softly, her voice sweet and gentle: "You've arrived just in time. Now that you're awake, go open the door."

Lin Mu paused, swallowed the word "leave" that was on the tip of his tongue, and turned to walk towards the door.

The moment the door opened, a woman in her forties, dressed in black, had just uttered the word "king" when her pupils constricted and she froze on the spot.

Lin Mu glanced at her and thought to himself: SS-rank?

He then extended his right hand and calmly said, "Give me the thing."

"Ah...ah?...Ah!?"

The woman panicked instantly and handed over the items in a daze.

Lin Mu took it and asked, "Do you want to come in?"

The woman waved her hands repeatedly, her voice urgent: "No...no."

With a "bang," the door slammed shut.

The woman remained rooted to the spot, muttering in astonishment, "My God, could Xiao Ning be telling the truth? She wasn't joking... Wang and an ordinary person? This is incredible!"
