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

She grew increasingly agitated, holding his ear even more intensely, the sound waves branching out like roots in her bones, flowing through the sulci and gyri of his brain.

"Good morning... I knew it... Lulu... Lulululu..."

The last syllable trembled slightly, as if it contained an unfinished whisper.

"Even though one more step would have plunged me into the Mirror Realm Labyrinth... I still deliberately stepped in... Guh... Mmm... Luh..."

The ambiguous words are like honey, their sweetness captivating the heart.

"Still...pretending to be asleep...mmm...mmm..."

The interplay of nasal and aspirated sounds creates a lingering resonance, like a whispered conversation.

"Deliberately waiting for me... then making a contract... then barging into the Tower of Echoes, staging a hero-saves-the-damsel-in-distress act... ugh... huff... snort... snort..."

The tongue lightly brushed against the earlobe, a warm current like lukewarm water gently rippling, creating soft, rustling sounds.

"They could have stopped it from the beginning... but they just stood by and let things get worse... *sizzle*... *gurgle*... *gurgle*..."

A soft swallow escaped her throat, warm and gentle like sipping from a clear spring.

"Bad man...big liar!"

Before the words were finished, the warmth that had been pressing against her suddenly vanished—

The tip of the tongue retreated from the ear, producing a barely audible "sizzle".

A lingering warmth remained in my ears, and even my ear cartilage felt tingly and trembling.

"Those two women... are already completely infatuated with you... drip... drip..."

A slight movement in the throat, the faint sound of swallowing, could only be heard up close, discreet and moist.

"You even schemed against me—tricked me into signing an equal contract, a life-or-death contract, and stole my magic contract... Even the [Cheng Ying] that I used to disguise myself and deceive others was 'borrowed' by you... Tap... Tap..."

Her teeth tapped lightly, the sound like pearls striking each other.

"Hmph! Ignoring me? Aren't you afraid I'll tell them?" Her tone was fierce, but she couldn't hide a trace of grievance.

Mu Jing simply gave a perfunctory "hmm," unable to respond to Ye Yue.

From dawn to midnight, he fought nine battles in a row without a moment's rest. He was exhausted and could only hold on by sheer willpower.

At this moment, my eyelids are heavy, my consciousness is blurred, and I am almost drifting off to sleep.

He couldn't help but wonder: How did this witch become like this?

According to the original setting, after signing the distorted equality contract, Takari had never enjoyed such gentle play.

It could even be said that he was never treated kindly from beginning to end—whether it was the harem ending or the demon-slaying ending, the witch never specially wove those two illusions for him.

All Eagle endures is punishment.

Repeatedly whipped but not killed directly, repeatedly subjected to being sliced ​​to death in a dreamlike state.

A once passionate young man was tortured into becoming a submissive and submissive person, and was ultimately led down the path of destroying the world.

Perhaps in the eyes of this witch whose essence is pure darkness, Takari was nothing more than an ordinary toy from beginning to end.

Of course, Mu Jing didn't think he would receive any special treatment from this witch.

He was nothing more than a "top-tier toy" in front of the witch.

The toys were simply for her to play with.

But since he was already there, he enjoyed the pre-sleep sleep-inducing ear-licking ASMR and prepared to slowly drift off to sleep.

He glanced drowsily at the settlement pop-up window.

Episode 2: The Echoes of the Tower Settlement

[Final settlement: Total number of bullet comments: 20,000, 14000 bullet comments pointing to the character "Mu Jing" → 14,000 popularity points gained.]

Memorable scenes and settings receive a 170% bonus → grants an additional 23800 popularity points.

[Loan Repayment -4000 → Current Popularity Value: 33800; Cumulative Popularity Ranking: 1st]

Mu Jing is very satisfied. His barrage comments have been steadily increasing, from 50% of the PV to 66% in the first episode and now to 70%!

Moreover, his iconic scenes and trending topics are constantly increasing, resulting in a growing popularity score.

The popularity of the anime series is also constantly rising, from the initial 10,000 views to 15,000 views, and now to 20,000 views.

I believe that the grand finale in the second episode will ignite the popularity of this visual novel adaptation to a new level.

Gaining more popularity is not just about grabbing screen time and scenes. Only when every character has a shining point, making the whole story more complete, can the anime reach a higher level of popularity.

As the saying goes, only by making the pie bigger can we get a bigger slice; we must be sustainable and exploit resources to the fullest extent possible.

Of course, all of this is predicated on the fact that he can survive each episode, get closer to victory time and time again, and stop the evil forces from destroying the world.

"Fine, I'll forgive you this time. The contractors are all exhausted after a long day."

Mu Jing knew, of course, that Ye Yue wouldn't publicize what he had done. Putting aside the fact that Xue Hua and Xue Li, as human forces, couldn't possibly believe the words of the princess from the demon forces.

Secondly, in the original work, Yozuki is always portrayed as a "chef," and she never personally takes action.

She only steers events toward a more interesting and grander story as they unfold, then revels in the grand victory, the grand destruction, and the grand finale.

"Kiss... kiss..." She gently kissed Mu Jing's ear, like a soft, short kiss on the back of his hand.

Then she wrapped her arms around his waist like vines and hugged him tightly.

"Hehehehehe."

"Thank you, Contractor, for preparing such a grand, wonderful, and perfect farewell for me!"

She buried her cheek in his warm shoulder—and then took a deep breath.

Then she pressed her chest against Mu Jing's heartbeat.

Goodnight, my dearest contractor.

Unconsciously, her breathing gradually overlapped with his, like two streams converging in a deep pool, indistinguishable from one another.

Their breaths mingled and rose within the small space, carrying the crisp scent of pine needles and the lingering sweetness of honey on her lips.

The two slowly drifted into a deep sleep.

…………

In the dead of night, deep within Mu Jing's mind, a completely dark media player suddenly lit up.

The words "[Episode 3: Bloodthirsty Mist Assault, Premiering!]" were prominently displayed above.

Then the camera suddenly changes direction.

Somewhere, in the deep night sky, a bright, full moon shines.

Under the bright but not glaring moonlight, a figure was seen fleeing in a disheveled state.
