The villain, caught in a chaotic situation, only wants to boost his popularity.

A moment ago, inside the core of the Mirror Realm Maze.

The tremors suddenly stopped.

Spiderweb-like white lines seeped from the cracks in the pitch-black mirror labyrinth, like a harbinger of glass about to shatter.

Meanwhile, the core of the Mirror Realm labyrinth is collapsing, and the darkness is gradually fading and becoming transparent.

Mu Jing stood at the edge of the only safe area and gently placed the girl on the ground.

Qiong Ren's eyelashes trembled, as if she were about to awaken.

"not good."

Just as Mu Jing had stabilized the Qiong Blade, his body leaned forward uncontrollably, his arms as if being pulled by invisible threads.

He suddenly embraced her soft waist again, squeezing her two full, soft mounds into an irregular oval shape.

"Much!" Qiong Ren was startled awake and slowly opened his eyes, his amber pupils reflecting Mu Jing's face, which was very close to his.

"Jingjing! What are you doing..." Qiongren squirmed in his arms, her voice as soft as melting cotton candy, and a blush slowly crept onto her face.

"We're in the Mirror Realm Maze now!" Mu Jing's voice was terribly hoarse, and then he explained, "This is the price."

My brain was filled with a burning anxiety.

I want to hug you...

Want to ask for...

I want to get in touch with...

This is the price of psionic power!

An unsolvable problem of coercion!

"Hmm..." His fingers tightened unconsciously, causing the girl to moan softly, her head almost steaming.

He could feel the girl's body trembling gently in his arms, like a docile little animal.

The sweet scent of cream emanating from the girl filled my nostrils.

Mu Jing forced himself to suppress his anxiety and glanced at the [Real-world comment section].

The scrolling of the [real-world comment section] almost bursts out of the screen:

"Holy crap! In the last scene, when Prison Mirror threw his sword at the last second, I almost thought he was really going to sacrifice Xiao Qiong!"

"A man of few words but ruthless actions, Brother Jing is a true legend! The moment that sword was thrown, my heart stopped!"

"Hero saves the damsel in distress! This hug is a true CP lock! The sweetness level is off the charts!"

"A scene straight out of a white-collar drama! Xuehua: I was here first!!"

"The background music is so devastating! It's killing me so fast!"

He ignored the "White Album" jokes. In his view, Xuehua had been twisted by the belief of "saving humanity" for more than ten years.

Even in the original story, Xuehua's storyline is always shrouded in loneliness.

Although she formed the main trio with Qiongren and Yingli, she ultimately chose to sacrifice herself alone, saving all of humanity in an indisputable way.

Ley's works have always been rated 16+, and they don't have the kind of plots that everyone likes. They are all knives wrapped in sugar!

Among the four female protagonists, Mu Jing trusts Xue Hua the most.

First of all, unlike Hawk, she doesn't shout "partner of justice" and start trying to steal the spotlight.

Secondly, unlike Qiongren, she doesn't give up easily.

Finally, unlike Ye Yue, she doesn't try to control you when you're not paying attention.

As for Mist Song... it is the most unstable factor.

"Beep—" The system settlement notification interrupted his thoughts.

Episode 2: The Tower of Echoes, now airing!

Why is it starting airing so soon? Is real time not synchronized with the anime's release schedule?

As Mu Jing was pondering, a sudden force came from his chest; the Qiong Blade was breaking free.

The next moment, Xuehua's cold voice, like an ice bead falling on water, broke the ambiguous atmosphere between Mujing and Qiongren.

"Xiao Qiong! Girls shouldn't be hugged by boys so easily."

"This is..." Mu Jing was about to explain when Xue Hua interrupted him.

"I know. Kagami-kun too, even if it comes at a price, you can't just hug a girl so carelessly."

She sighed helplessly, "Ugh, really..."

Then he quickly walked between the two.

Her slender arms unleashed astonishing power, widening the previously inseparable distance between Mu Jing and Qiong Ren.

Mu Jing also loosened his grip, after all, he had run nearly a hundred meters with the Qiong Blade in his arms, and the [price] had been paid off.

Unexpectedly, Xuehua suddenly opened her arms and softened her tone: "Come on."

"Huh?" Mu Jing was taken aback.

"Actually, the price has already been..." Mu Jing hadn't finished speaking.

Qiong Ren pounced on Xue Hua and gave her a bear hug, burying his face in her flat chest and rubbing it against her.

"Xuexue, I miss you so much."

Qiong Ren pounced on Xue Hua and hugged her tightly.

Xuehua gently stroked the back of Qiongren's pink hair with her right hand, her fingertips softly combing through the tangled strands: "It's alright, I'm here."

The setting sun cast its rays upon the two of them, gilding them with a dark gold edge, making the scene as beautiful as a still oil painting.

Mu Jing wasn't embarrassed; he just felt he had misunderstood.

However, it is indeed a pleasant thing to see such a heartwarming scene between girls.

He opened the system settlement pop-up again, his gaze falling on the final settlement data:

[Final Calculation: The total number of bullet comments for the first episode was 15,000, with 10000 bullet comments pointing to the character "Mu Jing" → 10,000 popularity points were gained.]

Memorable scenes and settings receive a 90% bonus → grants an additional 9000 popularity points.

Mu Jing glanced at the popularity score with satisfaction and paid off the loan once again.

[Loan Repayment -4000 → Current Popularity Value: 15000; Cumulative Popularity Ranking: 1st]

As expected, it easily took first place in popularity.

"and."

Mu Jing glanced at the air out of the corner of his eye.

If the second episode is "The Tower of Echoes," then one of the "high-ranking demons" mentioned in the prologue should also have come along, right?

Then he turned to look at Qiong Ren, his voice regaining its usual calm: "Qiong Ren, do you remember how you lost consciousness?"

"Hmm..." Qiongren peeked out from Xuehua's arms: "I don't quite remember... It seems like I met someone exactly like myself, and then I fainted. When I woke up, I saw Jingjing holding me..."

Her face flushed again, and she quickly covered her face and buried herself back in Xuehua's arms.

Xuehua glared at Mu Jing as well: "Jing-kun, you can't just hug other girls like that! It's only because my Xiao Qiong is so cute and innocent that this is sexual harassment!"

Mu Jing thought for a moment and nodded.

"Brother Jing! Although I didn't want to disturb you..." Eagle's untimely loud voice interrupted the interaction. He rubbed his rumbling stomach, looking aggrieved, "Let's hurry to the Holy Spirit Bureau! I haven't eaten since this morning!"

Mu Jing looked up into the distance—the setting sun was just skimming the horizon.

He said to the group, "Okay, let's talk about the details as we go."

"good!"

"Mmmmmm!" Qiongren poked her head out from Xuehua's arms, her eyes sparkling, clearly hungry too.

Mu Jing chatted as he walked.
