You are not monster girls!

Chapter 149 Summer Rhapsody Begins! (4k)

"Are you two sure you want to guard the house?"

Bai Mengqing and Xia Li, who had already reached the door, exchanged a glance and nodded in unison.

They had finally waited for Lin Muran to leave, and they didn't want to waste this opportunity so easily.

Working from home allows him to be by your side every day, which is great, but some things still need to be done secretly with like-minded people.

"If we go out, we can eat at McDonald's and get some takeout. Are you really not coming with us?" Lin Muran asked teasingly.

"This"

Bai Mengqing's pupils dilated in shock, and her green gloves tightened unconsciously, as if her resolve to guard the house was wavering.

Being able to eat at McDonald's twice a day is a rare opportunity that only happens when you go out with Lin Muran; the probability is about the same as staying at home.

"Then I'll go too!"

Just as Bai Mengqing was about to speak, she felt a sudden pain in her tail, and was immediately interrupted by Xia Li. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw the other party gather the dark green mane into her pocket.

"You do it."

"Cai Shi said he wanted to learn how to clean the house, so Big Brother can just pack some up," Di Hou said, revealing Cai Shi's true intentions.

Lin Muran was somewhat surprised: "Really?"

This suggestion was beyond his expectations. A month ago, Bai Mengqing was a dragon-shaped squid that liked to spray ink everywhere. He never expected that she would not only live in harmony with her natural enemies, but also take the initiative to share household chores.

"no no"

"Truly a peerless dragon!"

"actually, I"

"Since you've worked so hard, you can order whatever you want at McDonald's today, no portion limit."

"You don't need to tell me!"

Seeing that Lin Muran had already said so much, Bai Mengqing could only pretend to put on a smug smile, as if she had been caught out:

"You've been busy with Lord Si Ming's affairs lately. Mortals are weak, so it's only right that I, as a dragon, help you share the burden."

Xia Li glanced at Bai Mengqing, whose tail drooped limply to the ground.

"I've changed my clothes, let's go."

Qingyi, having changed back into the same clothes she wore yesterday, was curious about the state of the two spirit beasts at the door, but her instincts told her it was best not to get involved.

Before leaving, Lin Muran gave Bai Mengqing a few more routine instructions.

"Don't turn the TV volume up too high."

"know."

"Don't open the door to strangers; leave delivery and takeout orders at their doorstep."

"understood."

"If there is a problem, call the police immediately, do not call the police."

"Okay, okay, you two go ahead." Bai Mengqing quickly finished applying the disguise to Qingyi, and her tail and Xia Li's tail swayed wildly in perfect sync. One pushed Lin Muran and the other pushed Qingyi, pushing the two of them out the door.

boom!
The door slammed shut, and Bai Mengqing and Xia Li, leaning against it, both breathed a sigh of relief. They then exchanged a knowing glance.

"The addition of Lord Si Ming will definitely cause a surge in daily expenses, so the new video must be put on the agenda as soon as possible."

“Agreed, gathering materials can greatly speed up the video production process,” Dihou added.

So, first come, first served?

"Charge!" Emperor Roar said impatiently.

Bai Mengqing and Xia Li ran towards the studio at almost the same time, impatiently turning on their computers with the frantic rubbing of their hands, heading straight for the software and learning materials called Steam.

After spending most of the day learning last time, she has mastered most of Lin Muran's resource websites and gained a deeper understanding of anime and manga culture.

What do you want to do today?

Bai Mengqing unplugged her headphones, patted the seat in front of her, and gestured for the other person to sit there.

Computer chairs aren't as spacious as sofas, and squeezing in with Xia Li might feel a bit stuffy. But the main computer desk is only so big, and splitting it up would mean you can't get enough comfort on either side. So this sacrifice is necessary for an excellent viewing experience.

“Cat Paradise,” Emperor Roar suggested.

"Hey, we've played this game so many times, can't we play something else?"

"Rebirth Loli Island," Emperor Roar continued, proposing.

"Is it really appropriate to play this so early in the morning?"

Bai Mengqing had occasionally watched related videos while browsing her phone at night, and she could also find resources to download them, but she still couldn't quite accept this kind of avant-garde art.

"Could you make it a little lighter?"

“Then let’s have Summer Rhapsody, big brother Curry has it,” Emperor Roar suggested.

"I think we should go with Senren Banka?"

She felt that this kind of game required a lot of skill and time, and if she got too caught up in the game, and Lin Muran suddenly turned around and attacked like last time, she would be doomed.

“Okay,” Emperor Roar said weakly.

Seeing Xia Li nod in agreement, Bai Mengqing skillfully found the project in the library and used a stylus to move the mouse towards the start game, but Xia Li pressed it down with a claw.

"what happened?"

"Eat and play at the same time," Emperor Roar said, having discovered something good.

After Xia Li ran out, she returned a short while later carrying a large basin of foul-smelling white paste to the computer desk and sat in Bai Mengqing's lap.

"Ugh, it stinks! What is this?!" She felt that the fishy smell was strangely familiar, but because it appeared so suddenly, she had no time to adjust her nose and could only cover it up.

“Divine cuisine,” Emperor Roar explained.

"real or fake?"

“It’s packaged,” Di Hou affirmed.

"I don't really believe it. Hmm? Hmm?"

Before Bai Mengqing could finish speaking, Xia Li shoved a spoonful into her mouth. Bai Mengqing's expression first showed surprise, then she frowned, chewed it a couple of times, and then her brows relaxed instantly.

Although it smelled rotten, it tasted sticky, hot, and a little sweet, which was surprisingly not bad.

No wonder Sally couldn't resist this stuff; it's really that addictive.

I don't know why my body felt warm after eating it.

"Where did you get this thing?!"

"I saw my older brother secretly make it and put it in the refrigerator this morning," Di Hou said.

Xia Li savored the food with gusto, occasionally sticking out her small pink tongue, coated in white mucus, to clean the white residue from her upper lip: "It's comfortable to eat while watching," Emperor Roar prompted.

"As expected of you!"

After Bai Mengqing opened the game and entered the last saved progress, she praised Xia Li and reached for the spoon, but was unexpectedly swatted away by Xia Li's claw.

"Make the ingredients yourself if you want them," Emperor Roar said while guarding his food.

"But I don't know how either." "I can't help you. The Emperor's roar is merciless."

Bai Mengqing was hindered by her own mountain, and her skills were far inferior to Xia Li's. She could only puff out her cheeks and watch helplessly: "You stingy person, what's wrong with letting me eat something?"

"No, this is a limited edition item," Emperor Roar said firmly.

"Look, it's a UFO! Here you go!"

Taking advantage of Xia Li's distraction, Bai Mengqing swiftly raised both hands from bottom to top to snatch the bowl. As she stood up, she pushed Xia Li away, using her height advantage to raise it high above her head, using her fingers as a spoon, and began to show off wildly.

"Give it back now!" the Emperor roared in warning.

Good things should be shared. You ate so much that night, let me have a few bites.

Seeing that the liquid in the basin was almost gone, Xia Li hurriedly got up to grab it, but the height difference between them was too great. After several unsuccessful attempts, she bumped her head directly into Bai Mengqing's abdomen.

Bang!

The plastic basin was overturned on the table, and the little lotus root starch left inside was splattered everywhere. The screen and keyboard were all covered with a sticky white liquid, but most of it dripped down the edge of the table to the ground.

Bai Mengqing: (⊙x⊙)
Xia Li: "."

After a long silence, Bai Mengqing finally spoke up, breaking the stillness: "Now... what should we do?"

"Let's wipe it with a tissue first," Emperor Roar suggested guiltily.

“Yeah, that’s right.”

Fortunately, Lin Muran always kept a pack of tissues on her desk. Bai Mengqing and Xia Li worked together to wipe away most of the discolored liquid. However, due to the air conditioning, a few white spots remained on the keyboard and desk. It took them a long time to pick them off.

"What should we do now?" Bai Mengqing crumpled the used tissue into a ball and threw it into the stove where Manbo was.

Xia Li paused, then pressed Bai Mengqing back into the chair and said in a completely emotionless tone, "Since things have come to this, let's play the game first."

While the two spirit beasts were engrossed in playing their game, the stove in the corner secretly spat out the paper balls one by one.

Meanwhile, on the street.

Qingyi noticed Lin Muran suddenly flinch and asked, "Ranran, what are you doing?"

"I just suddenly had a bad feeling."

Lin Muran stretched her shoulders and said, "Also, you're a sect leader, can you please stop calling me Ranran all the time? I really don't know where you learned such cheesy words."

"I think this nickname suits your saintly nature quite well."

What are the characteristics of a sage and Ranran?

“Sheng Jiaran’s nickname is also Ranran.”

"I didn't expect your background to be so complicated."

Lin Muran wiped his sweat. Although he knew Qingyi was a seasoned internet surfer, she was still a wise and experienced person. It was too beneath her to keep talking about such abstract things.

He walked side by side with Qingyi on the street, occasionally pulling her closer to avoid the electric scooters that didn't use the motor vehicle lanes.

"You said you weren't going to be a haunted house tester anymore, so what do you want to do next?"

Judging from Qingyi's appearance, Lin Muran will most likely continue to sing at Yan Yifan's coffee shop, but that will only be a part-time job and cannot continue indefinitely.

Moreover, just like Bai Mengqing and Xia Li's paths, even if she wants to do something, she has to find what she can do and what she wants to do, so that she can maximize her talents and abilities and achieve true socialization.

"Well, let's just go back to singing as usual for now, and see how things go from here on out."

As Qingyi spoke, she smiled at Lin Muran, quickened her pace, and walked ahead. Her ponytail bounced and swayed in the dappled sunlight cut by the trees, displaying the rhythm of youth. It was as if the identity of Si Ming was just an ordinary title to her, something she didn't need to care about.

Lin Muran sighed: "It's only in terms of mindset that you resemble a cultivator."

"I am over-flattered."

"To be honest, I've walked this street at least a hundred times."

Qingyi stopped and waited for Lin Muran, looking at the bustling street and the incessant traffic, her steps tapping to the rhythm of the music playing from the surrounding shops: "To be honest, this is the first time I've really seen the everyday life on this street."

"There's plenty of time to see things for yourself."

".makes sense."

Before Lin Muran could even see Qingyi's profile, she quickly continued on her way, as if she were the one leading the group.

It wasn't until they reached a red pedestrian light that Lin Muran was able to stand shoulder to shoulder with Qingyi again. Her smile was still as radiant as ever, but he wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but for a moment he suddenly felt that there was a hint of disharmony in Qingyi's smile, though it quickly disappeared.

"What do you want to eat after we buy clothes?"

"Have a matcha parfait."

Aren't you afraid of getting fat?

"A little bit of fat is nothing more than a speck of dust to a cultivator; there's no need to worry about it." Qingyi patted her lower abdomen smugly, making the curves on her clothes even more obvious as she pressed down.

"The most important thing in life is to be happy."

While she was talking, she didn't forget to observe her surroundings, especially the cars. The time she went to Sally's house was the first time she had ridden in one of these small metal cars. Although some of the cars smelled strongly of sweat, she had to admit that they were much more comfortable than buses.

The car audio system is just too poor.

But it was a rather novel experience.

Her gaze swept over the cars that had stopped at red lights, but soon Qingyi spotted a very familiar figure in the back seat of a car with its window rolled down. It was one of her few mortal friends in this world—Yun Yifei.

She was sitting in the car, looking down at her phone, seemingly excited, completely unaware that she and Lin Muran were in the park.

"small"

Qingyi originally wanted to greet Yun Yifei, but after thinking it over, she lowered her hand that was halfway raised.

In front of Yun Yifei, she was Master Yun, who had come down from the mountain to cultivate; she was a charlatan nun and Taoist priest who was also a friend and a master.

In the eyes of ordinary people today, powerful Taoist priests or nuns are usually single.

If I greet Xiaoyun now and she sees me walking with a decent-looking young man, she'll definitely misunderstand, and the charlatan persona I've painstakingly built up will collapse instantly.

I'll wait until I run into Xiaoyun at the coffee shop later and then introduce Ranran to her.

Ranran is a pretty good person, and Xiaoyun works in operations. Maybe if the two of them get together, they can complement each other and make a lot of money. Then, as the one who made the difference, I can finally enjoy a peaceful and happy life.

"What are you grinning about?" Lin Muran was inexplicably frightened when she saw Qingyi raise her head and start to laugh.

"Ah, no, nothing. By the way, Ranran, I suddenly remembered a nice place. Why don't we change our route and go check it out?"

"That doesn't matter."

"Then hurry up, every second counts."

Seeing that Yun Yifei was about to look up and see her, Qingyi immediately pulled Lin Muran's hand and walked to the other side, just in time to avoid being seen by her.

That's strange. Am I seeing things?

I have a feeling that there are two familiar figures from behind.

Yun Yifei stared at the street garden where Qingyi and Lin Muran had just disappeared. She rubbed her eyes and, finding the area deserted, turned her attention back to her phone.

You must have misread it.

After thinking for a while, she deleted all the words she was about to send in the WeChat chat box and told the driver, "Driver, just get off a little before Xinyicheng."
