People in the Alliance, Time Management Master

Chapter Sixty-Six: They Just Wanted to Repay a Kindness

After a night of pleasure, Mu Bai and Caitlin's relationship took another step closer.

Yes, a further step in physics.

If the distance between the two people was originally 0, then it is now a negative number.

As for the exact negative amount, Caitlin's unusual behavior of staying in bed provides a clue.

"Time to get up."

As the midday sun shone through the gaps in the curtains into the room, Mu Bai gently patted the girl in his arms.

"Mmm~~" Caitlin rubbed her eyes lazily, her perfect body shifting unconsciously a few times, but she refused to get up.

"Sleep a little longer, I'm sleepy..."

"It will be dark soon if we don't get up now."

"That would be even better...just fast forward to tonight and continue that...hehe..."

"He seems so proper on the surface, but what's he really like behind the scenes?"

"What does it matter? It's only for you anyway~"

"That seems to make sense..." Mu Bai nodded thoughtfully, and then pinched the girl. "Actually, if you want to, you don't necessarily have to wait until night."

"Eh—!"

"No... I'm not ready yet..."

"Why so early in the morning..."

"Well……"

........................

Before we knew it, it was already afternoon.

Caitlin struggled to get out of bed and drank two large glasses of cold water before she felt a little better. She liked it, but the intensity was still too much for a beginner.

My voice is almost hoarse, sigh.

“How rude.” Caitlin touched her smooth belly and glared at Mu Bai.

"You asked for it yourself."

"I was just... Anyway, can't you be a little more self-aware, you idiot!"

"I'll definitely do it next time," Mu Bai said, pulling the girl back into bed while chanting his "get it for free" slogan.

"Again?!" Caitlin exclaimed, clutching a certain area in fright. "No! Absolutely not! If this continues... it'll break!"

"What's going on in your little head..." Mu Bai tapped her forehead with a helpless expression. "Let's get down to business. Haven't you always wanted to know where I'm from?"

"Oh... I thought it was that... Go ahead and tell me."

"Well, the whole thing is a bit complicated and unbelievable, so you need to listen carefully."

“You already emphasized that last night,” Caitlin rolled her eyes at her.

"It's always good to emphasize it a few more times." Mu Bai gently stroked the girl's hair, paused briefly, and continued:

"It all began many years ago. At that time, Runeterra had not yet established a true civilization, but an alternate dimension called the 'Void' quietly descended..."

Adhering to the principle that a story should be told thoroughly, Mu Bai first gave Caitlyn a good introduction to the origin of the Void, then talked about the subsequent impact of the Void, and finally talked about the future Void engulfing the entire Runeterra.

This is a long story, spanning thousands of years.

The rise and fall of Freljord, the rise and fall of the Shurima Empire, the birth and fall of the Celestial Warriors... truths that are hard to find even in ancient books are revealed one by one by Mu Bai.

Caitlin initially listened with a smile, as if she were just enjoying a story. But as time went on, her smile gradually disappeared, replaced by seriousness and tension.

By the time Mu Bai finished speaking, she was so surprised that she couldn't speak.

If it were someone else, she would definitely laugh mockingly a few times, and then look at them with the eyes of someone looking at an idiot.

But these were said by Mu Bai, so she chose to believe him unconditionally.

“Unbelievable, isn’t it?” Mu Bai laughed. “But that’s the truth, and that’s why I came to Piltover.”

"Um……"

Caitlin nodded with difficulty, still unable to recover for a while.

"But...if I go to the future with you...what will happen to my parents..."

This question may seem a bit petty, but it's also very real. Not everyone is an orphan; most people have their own ties and attachments, and they can't just leave whenever they want.

Mu Bai also asked Kilan this question.

The old magician's answer was—

“The void exists in a very special form, completely different from the material world we live in.”

"The relationship between the void world and the material world is not 'parallel,' but rather 'superimposed.'"

"Therefore, time has no meaning in the relationship between the two worlds."

"In other words, no matter when the void is destroyed, the void world along the entire timeline will disappear."

"At that time, one of my magician friends, Kieran, will use the power of runes to teleport everyone back to their original point in time, ensuring the normal operation of the material world."

"Do you understand what I mean?"

"Hmm... I think I understood..." Caitlin nodded blankly.

"So what is your choice..." Mu Bai suddenly felt uneasy.

"Of course I'll go with you." The girl smiled like a sparrow and pecked him on the cheek. "Do I even need to think about it, you idiot?"

If they stand idly by, the Void will eventually destroy the entire world, and she and her parents won't have many years left to live.

However, if they choose to go to the future world with Mu Bai to fight against the void, there is still a chance to reverse this tragic fate.

The correct answer to this multiple-choice question is self-evident.

"Thank you for your understanding..." Mu Bai breathed a sigh of relief.

“No, we should be thanking you,” Caitlin laughed. “We just made the only right choice, while you chose the less advantageous one out of many options that would have been in your favor.”

Mu Bai opened his mouth, hesitated, and finally just gave a relieved smile.

They hugged each other tighter.

"My love is a great hero."

Caitlin leaned against the other's chest with a smile, feeling incredibly proud, and all the potential problems were forgotten.

"By the way, what have you been doing in Zaun all this time? Can you tell me now?"

"Of course, I was just about to tell you." Mu Bai gently rubbed the girl's delicate cheek, and then recounted everything that had happened in the ditch area.

Caitlin listened with great interest to the story of Warwick, Camille, Victor, and Jess.

The more she heard about the deeds of Jinx and Seraphine, the angrier she became.

Although Mu Bai had deliberately downplayed their interactions, Caitlin still keenly sensed a hint of discord.

"Tsk tsk tsk... You really have a lot of charm, Mu Bai?" The girl narrowed her eyes, exuding a terrifying killing intent.

"Ahem... Just friends, just friends..."

"Oh~ a regular friend living with you? A regular friend writing a song just for you?"

"They just wanted to repay a debt of gratitude..."

"Repay a debt of gratitude? Pfft... I didn't realize you had so many excuses."

Caitlin flipped over and pinned the other person down, her slender, white fingers tracing a path downwards.

"Hmm... It seems the only way to prevent you from going astray is to completely drain your energy."

Chapter Sixty-Seven: The Zaun Husky

Victor had previously revealed that codenamed C was about to launch a horrific suicide attack.

No one knows the exact extent of the destructive power. However, based on what Codename C has done before, the unrest must be significant, and it may even destroy half the city.

This is not alarmist.

Codename C provided Viktor with a large amount of Primal Crystals, and with the latter's abilities, the scale of that "order" would definitely exceed everyone's comprehension.

Mu Bai must prepare in advance.

Although his time with Caitlin was wonderful, he couldn't afford to get too carried away.

My first day back in Piltover, and I was all lovey-dovey with Caitlyn. It's good to relax a bit after just getting back.

The day after returning to Piltover, I was flirting with Caitlyn. Hmm... time to get down to business tomorrow.

On my third day back in Piltover, I was enjoying a sweet time with Caitlyn. It felt a little too relaxed… No, I really need to get serious; I can't keep going like this.

On my fourth day back in Piltover, I wrote to Vi to inform her of the impending crisis. Today was a fulfilling day; let's keep going tomorrow!

On the fifth day after returning to Piltover, I had sex with Caitlyn.

The sixth day since returning to Piltover...

Are you satisfied with today's dishes?

Caitlin rested her chin on her hands, watching Mu Bai eat with a smile, while her jade-like feet, hidden under the table, rubbed restlessly.

"Make sure you eat your fill, then we'll go back to our rooms to rest."

"..." Mu Bai didn't respond, he just lowered his head and ate his rice.

This girl... seems to be addicted...

What happened to the cool and collected policewoman? Why has she become so agitated? Is this all due to moral decay or a distortion of human nature...?

Knock knock knock... Just then, a knocking sound rang out, forcing Caitlin to stop her seductive actions.

"Just eat your food, I'll go open the door." For some reason, the girl's sweet smile seemed a little scary to Mu Bai.

The door opened, and two people, one tall and one short, stood outside.
