Doesn't this person fear death?!

"like?"

Gu Yuqiu remained calm and repeated what he had said.

"A very simple liking."

Lin Mushi thought for a moment and explained, "It has nothing to do with gender, you don't need to think too much about it."

Gu Yuqiu said mockingly, "I thought you were planning not to have children."

Hearing this, Lin Mushi fell into deep thought.

She grabbed a soft cushion, sat down opposite Gu Yuqiu, and said hesitantly, "We shouldn't worry about this, right? Technology should be able to solve it. If technology can't, maybe there are superhumans who can?"

Gu Yuqiu raised an eyebrow slightly and asked, "Then why don't you think about pursuing immortality and ignoring these issues stemming from bloodline inheritance?"

Lin Mushi rolled her eyes at her and said irritably, "This is not something I have the right to think about."

Gu Yuqiu asked, "So what have you been thinking about lately?"

Lin Mushi replied without hesitation, "How can I take on the responsibility of protecting you?"

If she didn't already have the answer in her mind, she wouldn't have been able to reply so quickly, so this statement is indeed true.

Ever since the attack by the Church of the Sleepless Night, Lin Mushi has been thinking about this problem, which is probably why she is angry at her own laziness today.

So she looked at Gu Yuqiu with exceptional seriousness.

Upon hearing this answer, the white cat chuckled inwardly, thinking, "You think you're worthy?"

Gu Yuqiu laughed as well, and said sincerely, "In a dream."

Chapter 25: The God in the Dream

Lin Mushi was somewhat bewildered, wondering what it meant to be in a dream?

She crossed her legs, her brows furrowing adorably, and said in confusion, "Didn't you say you were particularly good at dealing with the Church of the Sleeping Souls? Their methods are all related to dreams, how could I possibly help you in a dream?"

Gu Yuqiu fell silent.

This was the first time the white cat had encountered someone like this. It couldn't help but open its mouth wide and meow in surprise, wondering what this servant was thinking.

Can't you even hear such obvious sarcasm?

Lin Mushi opened her eyes wide and stared at Gu Yuqiu, then subconsciously moved closer.

"I mean……"

Gu Yuqiu took a step back and said, "You can probably only protect me when you're dreaming."

Lin Mushi finally understood what she meant. She bit her lower lip and glared at her, thinking to herself, "How could you be so arrogant in my dream?"

She looked into Gu Yuqiu's eyes and said expressionlessly, "You won't have breakfast tomorrow."

Gu Yuqiu wondered if this could be considered a threat.

Suddenly finding it interesting, she raised her hand and placed it on Lin Mushi's face, gently pinching it once, and then several more times, meeting Lin Mushi's surprised gaze.

The feel was naturally nice, after all, Lin Mushi's cheeks had a bit of baby fat, but that wasn't the most interesting thing.

Gu Yuqiu watched as the emotions in her eyes shifted from shock to bewilderment, from expressionless to slightly open-mouthed, and then the calm completely collapsed in a moment. He found it quite amusing.

Lin Mushi took a deep breath, grasped the hand that was fiddling with her face, and felt a surge of anger in her chest. Slightly annoyed, she said, "What are you doing?"

Gu Yuqiu thought for a moment and said, "Your feigned indifference was quite cute just now, and I couldn't help myself."

Lin Mushi said mockingly, "Well, you're quite skilled at it."

"Actually, it's alright."

Gu Yuqiu said, "There was only one time before. In terms of feel, yours is indeed more comfortable than hers."

Lin Mushi looked at her as if she were a monster, then suddenly laughed and asked gently, "Do you want me to take you to see a doctor tomorrow?"

Gu Yuqiu simply smiled slightly and did not answer.

She looked at Lin Mushi's chest and saw that it was no longer just a slight rise and fall, but full and warm, and now it was swollen.

Under the warm yellow light, the curves have a charming feel.

This meant that Lin Mushi was extremely angry.

"Not going to say anything?"

Lin Mushi stared into Gu Yuqiu's eyes and said with a sneer, "You'll have to order takeout yourself tomorrow!"

After saying that, she stood up and walked into her room without looking back.

The white cat wondered if this meant the cat was angry.

Gu Yuqiu glanced at the closed door, thought for a moment and then ignored it. Feeling tired, she closed her eyes and leaned back on the sofa to rest.

After an unknown amount of time, the white cat suddenly heard a sentence.

"Her qualifications are indeed not very good."

The "she" in this sentence naturally refers to Lin Mushi.

The white cat looked up at Gu Yuqiu, quite surprised, wondering why she was concerned about this.

Gu Yuqiu continued, "So I didn't expect that after witnessing me kill someone, she would still want to protect me, and she wasn't joking."

The white cat thought to itself, "Are you going to help her?"

Gu Yuqiu remained silent.

When the night was deep and quiet, she left her bedroom, pushed open another door, walked to the bedside, sat down, and looked at Lin Mushi, who had already fallen asleep.

Perhaps because the room was warm, Lin Mushi's sleeping posture was not very good. Her right leg was kicked out from under the covers, and her bare foot was swinging gently. Her rounded toes had a crystal-clear feel to them.

Gu Yuqiu raised an eyebrow slightly, thinking to herself, "How come you don't even have a proper sleeping posture?"

She tucked Lin Mushi back in, listened to her soft breathing, and then placed her hand on the girl's head.

……

……

Lin Mushi suddenly had a dream.

For some reason, this dream felt unexpectedly real.

So the first person she thought of was Gu Yuqiu.

That colleague and friend who was rich, good-looking, and capable, was almost impeccable except for lacking humanity and understanding of human nature.

She couldn't resist reaching out, wanting to poke Gu Yuqiu's cheek and have some fun with him in her dream, when she suddenly heard a voice.

She turned around instinctively and saw a figure standing in the endless twilight.

The figure didn't look particularly tall, but it had an extremely majestic feel to it, like a god.

No, this figure is a god!

For some reason, she made up her mind without hesitation.

The deity asked, "Are you willing to become my follower?"

Lin Mushi thought to herself, "How could a god be involved in a pyramid scheme?"

The deity continued, "This can make you stronger."

Without thinking, Lin Mushi nodded in response, as if afraid of being too late.

The deity continued, “But this is a very arduous and monotonous process, accompanied by madness. Even standing at a high place is not necessarily interesting, and it may even make life meaningless.”

Lin Mushi felt a strange sense of familiarity with this god, so she spoke her mind.

"I still want to become stronger."

She thought for a while and felt that this reason might not be enough, so she added, "There are two main reasons. The first reason is that I want to protect someone, and the other is that I... want to bully the person I'm protecting."

The gods suddenly fell silent.

Lin Mushi thought that since it was all just a dream, she mustered up her courage and explained to God in great detail why she did this, giving detailed examples of how wicked that person was.

The deity seemed to listen intently, and after she finished complaining, smiled and asked, "It sounds like you care a lot about the person you're talking about?"

Lin Mushi gradually got used to the dream and became more casual about it, but ultimately this was a matter for the gods.

She thought about it seriously, and after confirming her feelings, she said, "I do care a little, but the main thing is that I think someone like her must have always been very lonely, so I sometimes think that my friend's life would definitely be a mess without me."

As she was talking, she suddenly felt that this god was too gossipy, actually asking her such a strange question—what does this have to do with becoming stronger?

Just as she was thinking about these things, the figure of the god began to dissipate.

However, twilight still lingered.

Lin Mushi was quite puzzled, but then she found that the twilight was falling on her, bringing her an extremely warm feeling.

The feeling was incredibly comfortable, like soaking in an open-air hot spring while watching snow fall in front of her, which made her let out a very complex sigh.

It sounded like a song.

Just then, a dark shadow emerged from the edge of the twilight, carrying an unsettling, chilling aura.

Before Lin Mushi could react, a cold snort reached her ears.

The blackness receded rapidly, like an illusion.

……

……

Gu Yuqiu withdrew her hand, got up and walked to the window, looking into the distance through a corner of the curtain.

In just a few seconds, she found the source of the blackness. Countless skyscrapers disappeared in her eyes, revealing a person to her gaze.

He was a member of the Church of the Sleeping Demons.

The believer was kneeling on the ground, coughing up blood, his face contorted in extreme pain.

Gu Yuqiu stopped watching, turned around and left the bedroom, heading towards the terrace.

During this process, the white cat jumped onto her shoulder and exclaimed, "Finally, I can move around a bit."
