Ren Suo had tasted more than once, of course.

Facing Ren Suo's greedy demands, Qiao Muyi quickly lost the battle, going limp in Ren Suo's arms like a boneless teddy bear, tightly embraced by him.

Not knowing how many times their lips parted and met, Qiao Muyi finally came to her senses, pressed her index finger against Ren Suo's lips, and asked breathlessly, "You, you haven't answered, what taste is it exactly…"

I was the dominant one at first! I was the one who made the aggressive move! How come I got beaten back? No, I need to seize the initiative back...

Ren Suo looked at her, smiled gently, and took her finger into his mouth, licking it like a lollipop. Qiao Muyi's body shuddered at this intimate action, and she quickly withdrew her finger. Seizing the opportunity, Ren Suo then held her head and kissed her again. As they kissed, his tongue suddenly tried to seek entrance past her teeth.

Not knowing how much time had passed, just when Qiao Muyi felt her soul was being sucked away by Ren Suo, he reluctantly left her lips.

He tilted his head, his eyes shifted, and said, "It's probably...the scent of floral cake with a hint of makeup powder?"

Qiao Muyi, who took several seconds to gather her soul back, chuckled at his words. She wiped a liquid from the corner of her mouth and then wiped Ren Suo's lips, saying, "This lipstick is actually flavorless."

"Nonsense, it definitely has a flavor. You're trying to trick me again," Ren Suo huffed, laughing.

"It's you who's tricking me," Qiao Muyi pinched Ren Suo's cheek, feigning anger, and said, "You usually act like such a straight-laced guy. How come now, now you've changed like this..."

"Changed into what?"

"Turned into a raging fire that could burn my bones to ash." Qiao Muyi held Ren Suo's face, her stern features now softened, her eyes filled with adoration. She asked softly, "Did you have other women before?"

"No."

"Have you kissed others before?"

"Maybe my parents, before I had clear memories... but definitely not since I can clearly remember."

"Then why are you so skilled?"

Ah? This question seemed like a popular joke; a wrong answer could spell disaster. Zhao Huo had even recommended he check out related works, but Ren Suo hadn't read them.

"Because you taught me," Ren Suo said naturally. Then, he hungrily leaned in again, kissed her briefly like a dragonfly skimming water, and gazed into Qiao Muyi's eyes, saying, "You misspoke earlier."

"I'm not the raging fire that consumes; you are the Fiery Flame that can melt steel. Even if I were made of refined steel, now I'd be soft as silk around your finger."

Upon hearing Ren Suo's cheesy sweet talk, Qiao Muyi poked his chest, her lips curving into a smile as she laughed, "So just now, that was your first kiss, huh?"

"Yes. And you?"

"The same, that was also my first kiss."

"What a coincidence."

"Yes, such a coincidence... Coincidence my ass!" Qiao Muyi lightly punched Ren Suo's chest, huffing twice before saying, "If that wasn't your first kiss just now, I would have been at a big loss..."

"So, are you making a profit now?" Ren Suo asked curiously.

"Sort of, a small profit," Qiao Muyi made a serious face and said, "I've heard before that boys can learn to kiss without a teacher, and now I can confirm it... I not only got your first kiss but also enjoyed your service. Not bad at all."

As she spoke, Qiao Muyi patted Ren Suo's shoulder, adopting an expression that said, 'Look kid, this Rich Lady sees potential in you.' She acted as if she'd had her way with Ren Suo, her manner quite arrogant.

Yet Ren Suo, as if he had found a winning strategy in a game, noticed Qiao Muyi's tendency to turn the tables. He laughed lightly, hugged her tightly, and plundered her lips again. Simultaneously, his Kissing Skill proficiency increased, leaping from novice straight to expert level.

After Ren Suo had thoroughly dominated Qiao Muyi, she turned into a puddle of mush again, hanging onto him. Her head rested on his shoulder, and she emitted cat-like hums from her nose, murmuring, "How did you turn out like this..."

"Don't you like it?" Ren Suo, embarrassed, scratched his face and asked.

"I was supposed to be eating a little lamb, and here you are, a wolf in sheep's clothing..." Qiao Muyi said wistfully. "Be honest, are you one of those outwardly stoic, 'Zen master' types—appearing so aloof you seem destined for celibacy, but secretly possessing a super lascivious soul?"

Qiao Muyi had resigned herself by now. Although she had dominated the first half, using wave after wave of attacks to achieve a god-level slaughter and driving straight through, she had made Ren Suo completely surrender and transform entirely into her shape.

But in the second half, Ren Suo was like he was wearing equipment that reflected 100% of damage; she had to endure every attack she launched at him herself. And he then took the opportunity to constantly deplete Qiao Muyi's Health Points. As they continued, Qiao Muyi unknowingly found all three of her lanes breached, leaving her powerless to turn the tide.

I clearly wanted a clueless Ren Suo. How did he super-evolve automatically? Can I revert to the previous version?

"Of course not... probably not."

Embracing Qiao Muyi, Ren Suo gently kissed her forehead and whispered, "Do you know what I was just thinking about?"

"Thinking about sleeping?" Qiao Muyi, undeterred, attempted to turn the tables on Ren Suo.

However, Ren Suo nodded frankly. "Yes, I did. I like things like lace lingerie, cat ears, bunny girls, Female Mages, and female Deputy Directors of the Tactical Bureau..." He continued, "Of course, even if there's nothing else, just having you would be enough for me to happily sleep with you."

Her attempt to turn the tables failed completely. Instead, Qiao Muyi was so flustered that her heart fluttered wildly. Her mind was a mess, and all she could do was bite her lip and stutter, "Pervert, hmph."

Ren Suo chuckled and continued, "Besides sleeping with you, I've also been thinking about where we should live in the future. I think living near Heavenly Lotus Academy would be quite nice. I estimate that in another year or two, the facilities around the academy will be well-developed. Living there would definitely be comfortable. Plus, the neighbors will be high-quality people like students and teachers...

"If we're buying a house, we'll get one nearby—a bigger one. I want a game room and then a playroom just for the kids. We should get a few cats... I'm sure I can train them to use the litter box properly.

"Speaking of children, I actually like kids quite a lot. Ideally, a son and a daughter; the surname doesn't matter. Though I definitely won't be able to be strict, so you'll have to be the one to discipline them. But if you don't like the idea of having children, I don't mind either. Just the two of us growing old together sounds great too.

"Ah, and my parents... they will definitely like you. But even if they don't, it doesn't matter. We'll be living in Lianjiang and they'll be in Baiyun. At worst, we'll just visit them during major holidays... Speaking of which, you've never mentioned your parents."

Listening to Ren Suo's dreamy vision of the future made Qiao Muyi tremble. Her heart felt like a beautiful, rare flower blooming in a wasteland, the fantasy of this moment feeling both brutally splendid and fleeting.

Fleeing. The mastermind Behind the Scenes. The Demon King's abilities. And...

She struggled to muster a smile and said, "My parents died when I was very young. I was raised by my aunt. After I went to university, she stopped looking after me. I spent all my holidays at school during my four years of university and then just continued on my own... You're lucky, no tough mother-in-law for you."

Ren Suo still had the Listening Headphones on his neck, so he naturally sensed Qiao Muyi's unease. He gently patted her head and said, "Don't worry. From now on, you'll have someone to spend Christmas, New Year's Day, Spring Festival, Valentine's Day, White Day, Mid-Autumn Festival, Labor Day, and National Day with, plus all the other holidays, and your birthday too." He continued, "Oh, I originally wanted to tell you what I like so you could buy it for me. But you used this trick to avoid giving me anything..."

"Isn't giving myself to you enough?" Qiao Muyi chuckled, her mood seeming much improved.

At that moment, Ren Suo's left thumb, resting on Qiao Muyi's waist, gently brushed the blue Mark that had appeared on her ring finger.

Time was up.

Ren Suo closed his eyes and quickly, decisively finished the predetermined matter. Then, a bold idea suddenly struck him.

He continued, "I'm saying all this just to tell you, although you might think I'm..."

"Lazy, dumb, bad at talking, and slow," Qiao Muyi quickly added.

Ren Suo looked exasperated. "Okay, although you have this mistaken perception of me, I'm actually a very serious person, and I really don't like to disappoint others.

"I may not have many plans ordinarily. But if there's going to be another person in my future life, I'll definitely think carefully about how we should get along and where we should live. I'll think about how many kids we should have, what their names should be, and how many trips we should take every year. Oh, and let's make another trip to Tokyo after it snows next year. We'll fly there, take photos, and post them on social media.

"So, I might have been a carefree person before. But once I knew I was going to move forward with you in my life, of course, I wouldn't maintain that nonchalant way.

"You're serious, so I must be serious too—I will do my best to treat you well, give you everything you like, and share everything I like with you.

"For the rest of our lives, please guide me."

This time, it was Qiao Muyi who averted her gaze from Ren Suo's scorching eyes, only to have her lips captured by him once more.

After the two separated, gasping for breath, Ren Suo suddenly smiled and whispered, "Back when I was in university, I'd see couples on the grass, practically attached at the lips, and I was completely baffled. I couldn't understand how they could do that all night. I wondered, don't they get tired of it? What's so tasty about saliva?"

"What do you think now?"

"Delicious."
