I'll also work hard to conquer the dungeon today.

Chapter 71, Section 1.5: Heavy Rain
Dim lighting, dilapidated walls covered in colorful graffiti, and piles of broken tires and cans all around—it looked like an abandoned area.

The young man smiled gently, his eyes narrowed, and embraced the girl in a suggestive manner. But upon closer inspection, one hand covered the girl's eyes, while the other hand held the dark muzzle of a gun to her temple, ready to pull the trigger.

Suddenly, a light drizzle began to fall, and within seconds the rain intensified, wetting the once dry ground and creating puddles.

"Ah, it's raining." Even with her eyes covered, she could still tell with her excellent hearing, not to mention that the rain was heavy and quickly soaked them both to the bone.

"Mr. Shu Ming, are you going to continue? You don't seem to have prepared a silencer. Even if you're just joking, you should probably stop now. I don't want to continue acting with you in this heavy rain," Mu Yegui asked, his tone calm and composed, showing no sign of panic at the threat to his life.

In fact, the moment she noticed the gun didn't have a silencer, she knew this person would never fire it. The reason...

"Then I'll have to trouble you to come with me." Shu Ming decisively withdrew his hand, his smile remaining gentle.

The rain soaked his platinum blonde hair, but even so, it couldn't hide his handsomeness and kind, gentle temperament, giving people a feeling of being bathed in a spring breeze.

Mu Yegui grabbed a handful of her long, fluffy, and soft hair in the rain. Anyone with eyes could see that the raindrops fell on her hair but didn't wet it at all, as if it were waterproof. Apart from her clothes getting wet, her delicate and petite face remained as clean and soft as it was under the sunlight.

She rarely went out in the rain because it would reveal that she wasn't human. After all, the idea that she was waterproof was truly unbelievable, as if water naturally avoided her. Mu Yegui reached out and grabbed a handful of her hair, as if letting down her guard, her fluffy, soft long hair completely soaked by the rain.

Her misty gray, curled eyelashes were dotted with water droplets, making her cool, silver eyes even more dazzling, yet they still couldn't reflect any image.

Her cells have a strong phagocytic ability and can absorb the oil covering her body, also known as the 'waterproof coating,' according to her needs. Because of this, there is no situation where she cannot absorb the waste that needs to be excreted.

No matter how well she disguises herself as a human, she will always feel out of place, because she is an anomaly.

"So... only I won't despise you..." Mu Yin said softly, seemingly talking to himself, but also seemingly making a promise to Mu Yegui.

Because we are born to be one person...

Mu Yin was undoubtedly pleased to know this, as no one else could ever be as close to Mu Yegui as he was.

Only he can do it, and only he is capable of it. Everyone else is rubbish!

He wouldn't even deign to compete with those stupid two-legged beasts for a woman, because they don't deserve it, hahaha!

Mu Yegui's eyes flickered slightly, but she remained silent and did not answer Mu Yin. She felt that Mu Yin was sometimes very childish, and she was too lazy to argue with him. Anyway, whatever he said was right.

However, there's actually one more thing...

"Xiao Yin is the most special one," Mu Yegui said softly to herself, because she came for Mu Yin.

Mu Yegui followed Shu Ming and left the street corner where a crime had almost occurred.

Since Mu Yegui only reached Shu Ming's chest and her stride wasn't as long, she could only jog to keep up. Although she could definitely keep up if she ran, she still tried to catch up in the most ordinary way.

Shu Ming's pace suddenly slowed. He stopped abruptly, took a very small collapsible umbrella from his pocket, and opened it. However, he didn't use it for himself; instead, he raised his hand to shield Mu Yegui's head.

Mu Yegui was slightly taken aback, her clear silver eyes looking at Shu Ming's back with confusion. He was the one who wanted to kill her before, so why did he suddenly become so gentlemanly?

Shu Ming slowly opened his jade-like, clear eyes, his gaze deep as he stared at the distant scenery, making it impossible to discern his emotions. But the next second, he smiled, turned to Mu Yegui, and asked gently, "I'm sorry to trouble you to bring me home. Don't worry, I won't do anything to you. I just need to keep you under surveillance, since you were the most important first discoverer." His white shirt was damp from the rain, revealing glimpses of his muscular physique, adding a touch of allure to his ascetic demeanor.

"Do you people from the Kingdom of Truth like to press guns to your temples when you're joking? What a strange quirk." Despite saying this, Mu Yegui continued to follow behind him.

What exactly is Shu Ming's purpose?

Just now, it wasn't just Shu Ming who wanted to attack; Mu Yegui also wanted to, but she decided to kill him after he made his move. However, in the end, Shu Ming didn't fire, and she naturally missed her best opportunity to strike him, though she didn't regret it.

Shu Mingjia.

Shu Ming's home is a typical studio apartment; although it has all the necessary amenities, it can only accommodate one person.

Mu Yegui stood at the door watching Shu Ming take out a towel to wipe his wet platinum blonde hair, while preparing to take off the shirt that was clinging to his body.

She didn't say anything, just stood quietly at the door, water dripping from her body. A puddle gradually formed on the ground, but it was all absorbed by the waterproof mat.

Suddenly, a dry towel was placed on her head.

Mu Yegui's silver eyes flickered slightly, but he still stood there blankly without making any move.

A shadow fell over her, and a large hand moved casually across her head, seemingly rude but with no intention of harming her.

"Are you a child? You can't even dry your own hair." Shu Ming's voice, still gentle but tinged with a hint of annoyance, came from above.

"Thank you," Mu Yegui said softly, then reached out and touched the towel a few times, but didn't touch it again, as if that was enough to dry her.

Shu Ming removed Mu Yegui's hand, grabbed a towel, and carefully wiped her down, just like he was taking care of a child who couldn't take care of himself.

In fact, Mu Yegui really doesn't know how to dry her hair, nor does she know how to tell if it's dry.

In the beginning, Mu Yin lived alone on an unknown planet. He knew nothing and even bathed by simply rinsing off the grease, letting the rain fall on him, and then letting him air dry. Later, he got tired of it and let those people capture him and take him to a human laboratory for research. He was soaked in nutrient solution until he met Nalan Xu.

Nalan Xu was the first person to teach Mu Yin knowledge, and also the first person to teach Mu Yin not to kill people at will.

Then, in order to suppress Mu Yin's nature, he was injected with a special drug. Later, Mu Yegui appeared with the drug, as if it had separated out the only rationality that Mu Yin had hidden in the deepest part of his being.

That person taught Muyegui knowledge, taught her the law, and the rules of humanity.

She experienced being cared for for the first time. Even though Nalan Xu was very busy as a researcher, he still made time to accompany her, bathe her, and dry her hair.

When there's really no other way, Mu Yegui will take a bath alone, but he'll let his hair air dry on its own or use his powers to dry it directly.

Because subconsciously she's still waiting for that person...
