nEveryone gathered in the dining area to eat dinner as if nothing was wrong. Han Ya decided not to tell what he learned from Chu Mo about the truth of the world’s reality. He wanted to buy more time for himself. Trying to make An Yuan fall in love with him is even more serious than what they have right now. He wants to have at least a quarter of the love between Hei Anjing and Ye Xiajie. In the end, even by spending more than together and he still couldn’t ask An Yuan to stay by his side, he could only let him go.

nTheir first dinner of the team had ended with most of them having to suffer getting fed dog food together with a full course meal. They all gathered in the living room and started focusing on Georgie who came home with them.

nAfter moving to the living room, varying drinks from sweet to bitter, sweets of all kinds, and desserts were placed on the table at the center of the sofa set. Everyone had chosen their own drinks including Georgie who had finally let go of his vigilance towards them. He used to be only close to An Yuan, Lan She and Hei Anjing while afraid of the rest.

nGeorgie said with a huge grin on his face, “Big Brother Lan, these scones and cream puffs are delicious ba~”

nWiping the cream residue on the boy’s cheeks naturally as he answers, “Yes, eat more but don’t forget to drink your water after.” said Lan She. “Brothers are going to talk about something and ask Georgie a few questions later. Is it okay?”

n“Okay~ after I finish eating you can ask,” said Georgie.

nLan She smiled not the usual fake smile he used for professional purposes but one that others use when seeing something cute.

n“That’s good then. Slow down in eating to avoid choking,” said Lan She.

nThe boy had already stuffed his mouth with lots of food and could only nod to show his agreement.

nHan Ya was the one who first asked something to clear his confusion.

n“That kid… Is he a ghost?” asked Han Ya.

nZane said, “Come on, Brother Han. We could touch him. There is no way he is a ghost.”

n“Stupid~,” said Chu Mo.

nAn Yuan said, “Brother Zane, we can touch him and we are literally considered ghosts inside this dungeon. Since we could touch him, that means he is a ghost-like us.”

n“When Sir Hei was about to grab him to save him before materializing his hand, it passed through the boy’s body. In the end, Sir Hei could only push Georgie away from that clown to avoid hurting the boy,” explained Lan She.

nHan Ya asked, “Is there a way to materialize a physical body without that Soul Condensing Talisman?”

n“You need precise control over your mana to do so. It was quite hard for beginners but… There is indeed a way. Continuously, circulate your mana at a certain part of your body that you want to materialize. If it’s the whole body you will first need to learn about the main acupoints of your body, circulate your mana to your meridians, and use the mana in your core (Dantian) as a source of mana. The circulation of mana must be continuously and unhindered. But I advise that you don’t do it without a Master’s supervision, or else you might cause a mana explosion inside your body and Puff! You’re dead.” said Chu Mo.

nThe excited Zane felt that this idea was nice and believed that it wasn’t only used to materialize one’s body but also to strengthen it.

nZane asked, “Brother Chu, that was too cool. Can you teach me!?”

nChu Mo didn’t answer right away but looked at his boss who was staring at his wife and glanced at him when he felt his gaze and nodded his head once before resuming all his attention on his baby.

n“Okay. I don’t mind. I will teach you, Han Han, and An An how to circulate your mana. But you can only practice in my presence, if you explode then your death would be real. In this dungeon, you guys still need to use the Soul Condensing Talismans. If you promise that then… I will teach you.” said Chu Mo while looking at the three in front of him.

nSeeing them nod their heads in agreement with his condition, he decided to teach them how to circulate qi in their bodies but the source of energy in this world is not qi but mana which is somewhat similar to it.

nChu Mo said, “Later after this meeting. I will start teaching.”

n“Okay.”

nThen finally Lan She started asking the little boy named Georgie what happened to him. Why did he suddenly become a ghost and what is happening in this countryside land?

nLan She asked, “Georgie, finished eating? Can big brothers ask you a few questions?”

nWhile sipping on the iced White chocolate milk tea he got from Hei Anjing, his eyes widened in delight. The creamy flavor of milk and chocolate mixed with slight tea was so delicious. The flavor of milk was something he loved the most. He was in a good mood so when he heard Lan She’s question he nodded his head immediately.

nLan She started asking, “Okay. Then can you tell us what happened to you? Why did Georgie become a ghost?”

n“Eaten. I was eaten by that clown. Pennywise already owns this town and the time in this place is weird. Georgie remembered being killed by more than one. The feeling of being bitten and eaten alive I.”

nGeorgie started shaking as he recalled his experience of being eaten by Pennywise countless times. Worst of all, he could remember everything too vividly and he is extremely frightened by it. He was about to start crying when a spoon was pushed inside his mouth.

nThe taste of milk, eggs, sugar, and caramel melted in his mouth and something soft landed on his mouth and melted like clouds in the sky. It was so delicious that he had forgotten what he was thinking about just now. He looked at the one holding the spoon and saw Hei Anjinh smiling at him.

nOn his hand is a small plate with a bear-shaped pudding with one missing ear. That missing ear is obviously the one that melted in his mouth just now.

nHei Anjing said, “Is it tasty?”

n“Tasty!!” answered Georgie with a huge smile on his face as his fear faded.

nHei Anjing gave the plate of bear-shaped pudding to the boy and said, “It’s yours then. Go ahead and eat. There’s more. And… Little Georgie does not need to be afraid anymore. I and Big brother here will protect you. We can beat up that bad clown right? We can do it again. Right Gege?” asked Hei Anjing to Ye Xiajie.

n“Um.”

nWith his eyes softening as he looks at his wife, he nods his head agreeing to whatever Hei Anjing had said. Georgie who remembered being saved by Hei Anjing when Pennywise tried to eat him again and that scary big brother who stomped on that bad clown and defeated him was so amazing. He couldn’t help but look at the two with glowing eyes full of admiration. He looks up at the couple as a pair of heroes.

n“Big brother, sister you are amazing!!” said Georgie.

nThe smile on Hei Anjing stiffened while Ye Xiajie, Han Ya, Lan She, and An Yuan were stunned. Zane was startled at first before he laughed out loud with Chu Mo.

nZane, “Sister? Is he talking about Sir Hei?”

nChu Mo, “Pfft!!”

nHAHAHAHAHA~

nHearing the peals of laughter in the room the stiffened smile on Hei Anjing’s face twitches as he suddenly stood up in front of little Georgie.

nBefore anyone could react they saw Hei Anjing pull down his shorts and said, “Look I have pee-pee! I’m not a sister!”

nPulls down~

nLittle Georgie saw the cute little Jing’er but only in a split second as Ye Xiajie pulled up. His shorts instantly glared at everyone.

nWhooshed!

nPulls up!!!

nWith a cold and dangerous voice, Ye Xiajie threatens, “Forget what you saw.” then picked up Hei Anjing despite his strugglings.

n“Let me down. I’m not done talking to that damn brat! Who the hell is a sister!?” said Hei Anjing.

nYe Xiajie said, “We need to talk about something. You guys handle the rest. We will resume the missions tomorrow.” As he walks upstairs with a struggling Hei Anjing on his shoulder. He gave Zane a deadly glare making the latter shudder unconsciously.

nZane was horrified as if the man was going to kill him.

n“Hiih!! What the hell did I do!?” said Zane. ｎｏｖ𝚕．𝚌ｏｍ

nThe other could hear their conversation from a distance.

n“Put me down! I’m not done with that brat yet!”

n“No. You told me to pull down your pants in front of others aside from me. You need to be punished.”

n“Are you kidding me? I’m a baby right now!! That thing of yours wouldn’t fit at all.”

n“Who told you we are going to use this body? I’m returning the two of us to normal and you will get the punishment you deserve. Who told you to expose yourself in public.”

n“You’re kidding! What public.? Only you guys saw it!”

n“Only I’m allowed but you pulled down your pants while live streaming are you stupid!?”

n“Fuck! I forgot about that!!! AHH!! Wait where are you touching!? I’m sorry!!!”

nBANG!

nFollowed by the loud banging of the door, the conversation could no longer be heard by the others. Everyone was looking upstairs and couldn’t believe they had witnessed such a scene.

nZane asked carefully, “That… Would he be okay?”

n“No worries. It’s a married couple’s problem. Let them be.” said Lan She.

nChu Mo who got his eyes covered by his lover in that split moment did not say a thing. Even Lan She had closed his eyes when he felt that Lord Hei was going to do something surprising. But it was a shock that almost got them all killed. Among them the only one who saw it was Zane and little Georgie.

nIn that split second, Han Ya covered An Yuan’s eyes and averted his. Zane was so shocked like Georgie and saw it for real.

nChu Mo who knew about this unluckiness of Zane couldn’t help but pats his shoulders in consolation. The big boss would definitely beat up this kid later after he finished punishing his wife.

n“You should have closed your eyes,” said Chu Mo.

nBewildered Zane asked, “Eh? Why!? What did I do?”

n“You didn’t do anything but saw something you shouldn’t have,” said Han Ya.

nAn Yuan asked, “Why did I cover my face, Xiao Ya?”

n“Eh? What is it!? You’re kidding me right!?” asked Zane.

nLan She was kind enough to give Zane a strengthening body technique. One that thickens his skin.

n“My Condolences.” Said Lan She.

nHan Ya, “Rest in peace.”

nChu Mo, who saw what kind of technique Zane had received from his honey, commented, “Learn that immediately. Don’t die, kid.”

n“But it’s not even my fault…” murmured Zane while looking at the body strengthening technique given to him. It was even a high grade one. One that made the skin as thick and strong as a metal.

n“Sir Abyss seems to be so possessive towards Sir Hei. He would definitely be jealous. Brother Zane just learned the skill. Even if you got beaten up to death at least you wouldn’t die for real.” said An Yuan.

n“Please don’t analyze it anymore. Boohoo~”

nZane Hillari for the first time in his life didn’t know whether joining this team was good or not. He could only shed imaginary tears with an ugly expression on his face.

n“Sniff, I can only learn. I don’t want to die. How about that kid then?” asked Zane.

nHe was talking about Georgie who was left dazed by what he saw. He couldn’t believe that the pretty sister he had a crush on suddenly became a man with that same thing hanging between their legs. His favorite sister suddenly becomes a brother. He couldn’t believe it at all.

nLan She replied to Zane, “They don’t beat children.”

nChu Mo said, “It’s your fault for not covering your eyes and staring openly. Idiot!”

nZane, “(QAQ) (QAQ) (QAQ)”
