It was supposed to be a love simulation, so why are they also players?

"They must have been separated."

Upon hearing this, Xia Mu did not immediately follow the clues.

There was no danger in Xiabeize Town. Even the elder of the Demonic Sect branch, who was also his master, spent his days lounging around in teahouses or, when he had nothing to do, listening to music in brothels.

That was so dashing!

As for clues about the Holy Master of the Demonic Cult, not a single hair has been found.

Do you care about Lixi a lot?

The crackling fire in the stove cast a soft, hazy glow on Nagasaki Motoyo's profile.

She was plating the last dish, a few oil stains on her plain white apron.

"Correct."

Xia Mu leaned against the kitchen door frame, the moonlight casting a long shadow over him.

It's more than just caring.

Xia Mu did not forget his goal.

Find Lixi and form a deep bond with her!

Get married quickly!

In SAO, it seems like you can get married, right?

He had another little scheme.

"Sure enough, your expression becomes especially serious whenever Li Xi is mentioned..."

Nagasaki Motoyo, who had seen through everything, smiled faintly.

She still remembers the scene when they first met; at that time, she was hostile to Xia Mu.

did not expect.

In this world, besides old friends, the only person I can trust and rely on is Xia Mu.

"Are you leaving?"

"I don't plan to leave right now. I'm worried about leaving Su Shi here alone."

"I'm not a three-year-old child."

"But I worry that this world is far more dangerous than we imagine. In Su Shi... there have already been several cases of sects being wiped out, whether they are NPC sects or sects formed by players themselves..."

"According to rumors from the martial arts world, it was the Demonic Sect that did it."

Nagasaki Motoyo placed the bowl and chopsticks heavily on the table, the porcelain bowls clattering together with a crisp sound.

"Maybe, maybe not..."

Xia Mu wasn't sure.

Are all the people in the evil cult truly wicked?

"Let's eat first, while it's hot... I may not like this world, but the aspect of cooking and life is quite real."

Nagasaki Suyo urged.

"Okay, I'm so happy to be able to eat the food that Su Shi cooked herself."

"Is it tasty?"

"Delicious! I'd like another bowl!"

Before that, I want to tell you—

Nagasaki Motoyo slowly stood up, the moonlight casting a cool shadow on her through the window lattice.

Xia Mu suddenly felt dizzy and her body began to sway uncontrollably.

"I also accidentally added a little sleeping powder to my food, just like you, by accident, Xia Mu."

Her voice was as cold as ice in the twelfth lunar month, and the jade hairpin in her hair swayed violently with the movement of drawing her sword.

On her way to buy groceries today, she happened to run into Toyokawa Shoko recruiting new employees. When the topic of Xia Mu came up, the blue-haired girl with pigtails said she knew nothing about it.

She, Nagasaki Motoyo, was deceived by Natsume.

When aware of this.

More than anger, there was confusion.

Why did Xia Mu join his small sect?

For herself?

How can it be?

In this world, being able to survive is the greatest happiness. How could someone with a small head control their big head and want to be in a relationship?

Even if it were true, Nagasaki Motoyo would righteously and firmly reject Natsume!

"Xia Mu, you liar! Why did you lie to me? Xiao Xiang told me everything, she doesn't even know you! Tell me, tell me now! Why did you go to such lengths to join Ke Laixi's Bitter Sect!"

Nagasaki Motoyo's eyes were red-rimmed, and the tip of her sword was already pressed against his heart, but when she saw his pale face, her wrist trembled uncontrollably.

No, she still couldn't bring herself to do it.

"I'm sorry, Su Shi..."

At this moment, any further explanation would be futile.

Furthermore.

The effects of the drug on Nagasaki Soseka were too strong, and he had no energy left to answer.

Xia Mu leaned on the table to support himself, his consciousness gradually fading.

The last thing he saw was Nagasaki Motoyo turning around, the tassels hanging from the jade hairpin in her hair swaying gently in the moonlight.

"Go away... I can live well on my own. From now on, don't come near me again."

[Nagasaki Motoyo left; she didn't attack you.]

Ps:

At this moment, Li Xi is doing good deeds and leveling up quickly.

Chapter 287 The Thief Wants Lena and Breaking Bad Xia Mumu

She expelled you from the sect.

Only in this way can you perhaps do what you want to do and see the people you want to see without any worries...

[Nagasaki Motoyo doesn't want to hold you back because of herself.]

Even though your meeting this time began with a lie, she already considers you a friend.

She wishes you happiness.

At midnight, the thick, inky night enveloped the earth, and the eaves of the Ke Lai Xi Ku Zong's house gleamed with a cold, silvery light under the moonlight.

Nagasaki Motoyo, dressed in a plain white robe, leaned against the eaves, gazing at the clear, bright full moon in the sky.

The moonlight poured down like water, bathing her slender figure and casting a long, long shadow that meandered across the roof tiles in a lonely shape.

Still alone.

"That idiot is finally gone..."

She gave a self-deprecating laugh, but her voice was choked with emotion.

in the end.

Not only did she fail to win the revival match for CryChic, but she also drove away the only person who supported her.

Even if she is resented, Nagasaki Motoyo doesn't care.

"May Xia Mu be well..."

The moon is bright and the stars are few; crows and magpies fly south.

You slipped back again, still in the corner, and heard the whispers of a girl with long flaxen hair and a simple dress.

[Nagasaki Motoyo's little scheme doesn't even qualify as a display of extraordinary wisdom.]

"Hey, can't Su Shi be a little more straightforward?"

He sighed softly, got up, walked to the door, and knocked.

bang bang bang-

"Who?"

"I am Xia Mu."

"Didn't I tell you to leave? Why are you back?"

"Before I leave, there's one more thing I haven't finished... Thank you, Su Shi, I will definitely clear SAO and let you go back."

Xia Mu's goal was clear: to take as many shortcuts as possible and find the hidden Holy Master of the Demonic Cult as soon as possible.

Clearing the game sooner will save more lives.

Even if this is just a simulation...

We cannot turn a blind eye to human lives.

After I get through SAO and my consciousness returns, I should be able to have a happy date with Riki!

"Getting through customs won't be that easy. Anyway, take care of yourself, Xia Mu."

"Well, goodbye, Su Shi."

"Goodbye."

No matter how reluctant she was to part, Nagasaki Motoyo didn't utter a word.

We'll meet again next time.

And she will continue to guard the "Koraishi Bitter Sect".

【respectively.】

You will meet again someday.

Jianghe City

"Fourteenth level of Qi Refining..."

It seems he has no hope of advancing to the Golden Core stage.

Xia Mu sat on the eaves, his legs dangling in the air, the lights of the martial arts world scattered like stars in the dark night.

After leaving Ke Laixi's Bitter Sect, he was tasked by the Demonic Sect to formally join a righteous sect as an undercover agent and have a public identity.

Suddenly, shouts and cries tore through the night.

"Quick! Catch that thief!"

A group of soldiers carrying torches are chasing after someone.

Xia Mu, who always liked to meddle in other people's business, chose to watch the show.

Let's wait and see.

"Hey~ Would you like some matcha pancakes?"

Suddenly, a girl's voice rang out from the eaves.

Short silver-white hair and heterochromatic yellow-blue eyes.

It's Lena.

The oil paper package she handed me had bits of sesame seeds still stuck to the edges of its flaky crust.

"eat."

Xia Mu took the oil paper package.

"Then we're accomplices, okay?"
