Ke Xue exorcists demons and starts with immobilization

Before Chu Zhong could finish speaking, Fei Yingli covered his mouth, saying, "If you say something like that again, my heart will start racing."

Eri blushed, not understanding why her heart would flutter every time Chu Zhong said "I like you".

Was she too...desiring?

"Alright, I'll save these words for when the situation is more appropriate."

Looking at Eri's shy appearance, Chu Zhong couldn't help but feel a great sense of accomplishment.

It seems that Eri Kisaki, who has been separated from her husband for many years, is indeed very eager for the nourishment of love.

He was simply using the title to better convey his affection to Eri Kisaki, and that's how he became so emotional.

"Emotional therapist" really is a magic weapon for attracting girls!

Speaking of which, I haven't done Xiaolan's daily dungeon yet today.

It's unclear how this title will affect Xiaolan, who is obsessed with martial arts.

Chu Zhong planned to team up with Eri from the regular dungeon later to farm Ran's dungeon together.

Judging from Ran's previous reactions as a martial arts fanatic, she must have greatly admired Eri.

If the plan goes smoothly, maybe running dungeons will be even more time-saving and effortless in the future...

After making up my mind

After Consort Yingli's complexion returned to normal, Chu Zhongzhong walked into the kitchen with her to help Xiaolan prepare dinner.

"Mom, that's sugar, not salt..."

"Lord Chu, this vegetable doesn't need to be cut, just tear it by hand..."

Although the addition of the two seemed to make things worse, Ran Mouri's smile grew increasingly wider.

Dinner was ready in no time.

After finishing their meal, Ran Mouri told us about their travel plans that would begin the next afternoon.

"Is Sonoko coming along too?"

After listening, Eri gave Ran a meaningful look and said, "But I hope you have fun. Just remember to be careful."

Ran Mouri instantly felt as if she had been seen through. With her face slightly flushed, she nodded.

After dinner, it's time to take a shower.

Eri Kisaki dragged Ran Mouri into the bathroom again to take a shower together.

"Isn't the relationship progressing quite smoothly?"

Eri Kisaki quickly noticed the hickeys on Ran Mouri's body. "Why wouldn't you help Chu Jun with a bath last night?"

If Xiaolan had agreed last night, she wouldn't have been so proactive... but she might not have been able to enjoy her sweet dream last night.

Ran Mouri covered her face: "How could I possibly talk about something so embarrassing..."

Chapter 132 Eri Kisaki, Suspected by Ran

Eri's words made Ran Mouri extremely shy.

It wasn't just the traces left from sneaking snacks with Chu Zhong last night that were discovered.

More importantly, she even figured out the real purpose of the two best friends' trip.

However, Ran Mouri's words soon made Eri Kisaki blush.

"How has Mom coped with loneliness all these years?"

Ran Mouri, who was shy about discussing the topic, finally mustered up her courage and asked in a low voice.

Before having relevant experience, Ran Mouri wouldn't have thought that this was necessary.

Even in the naive Ran Mouri's mind, associating Eri Kisaki with these things is an offense and a desecration.

But having had a wonderful experience and looking forward to the upcoming trip, Ran Mouri couldn't help but feel sorry for Eri Kisaki's loneliness over the years.

"Cough... Focus on your work. You'll be tired after get off work, there's nothing to be lonely about..."

Eri's face was slightly flushed from being soaked in hot water, and she replied with a half-joking tone.

"Then..." Ran Mouri leaned closer, almost whispering in Eri Kisaki's ear, "Won't Mom miss those... happy times?"

Eri Kisaki seemed a little confused. "What do you mean?"

"It's... a happy memory~" Ran Mouri blushed and explained, "When I was playing with Chu-kun... even though it was just playful bickering, I was really happy..."

The more Ran Mouri spoke, the redder her face became. "I...I feel like I can't live without Chu-kun anymore..."

Whether in dreams or reality, Chu Zhong brought Ran Mouri many wonderful experiences...

Even last night's outrageous dream, aside from being too bizarre, the happiness and laughter in the dream felt unusually real.

"There's nothing good to remember about that old drunkard..."

Eri Kisaki suddenly realized that Ran Mouri was asking about Kogoro, and subconsciously frowned.

Seeing her mother's displeasure, Ran Mouri dared not ask any more questions, but she couldn't help wondering if Kogoro's experience had been too bad.

When her two best friends went to the movies before, Sonoko gossiped about how their married life wasn't fulfilling and they were prone to arguments.

"Alright, let's not worry about the past."

Eri Kisaki gently pinched Ran Mouri's waist. "Worry about your own affairs first. Chu Jun is not so easy to deal with."

Ran Mouri immediately recalled the knowledge about average talent levels that Sonoko had explained when they last watched the movie.

Ran was extremely embarrassed by her best friend's words, but she also remembered Chu Zhong's extraordinary talent, which was one in a million.

"As for Lord Chu... he should... be alright..."

Ran Mouri's shy reply carried a hint of relief.

This made Eri Kisaki look at him with some surprise: "Really? Don't push yourself too hard... Take it one step at a time, it wouldn't be good if you got hurt."

Ran Mouri covered her face with her hands, saying, "Chu-kun is such a... considerate person, he'll definitely be fine..."

She dared not say that Chu Zhong's cautious and gradual experience in her dream last night brought her a great sense of security.

Besides, Sonoko had previously explained that as long as preparations are done properly and one is relaxed, there is no danger... at least that's what the magazine said.

"Lord Chu... cough, that's right... he's always been gentle and considerate..."

Eri also recalled Chu Zhong's past in the snowstorm, and the slight redness on her cheeks from the hot water turned even darker.

"Mom...how did you see that Chu Jun is gentle and considerate?"

Ran Mouri stared intently at Eri Kisaki with her eyes blinking.

Whether it was an illusion or not, Ran Mouri seemed to have seen a fleeting hint of shyness on Eri Kisaki's face.

I can't help but think of last night's dream...

"Is not this nonsensical?!"

Feeling a little guilty under her gaze, Eri raised her voice slightly and retorted, "If it weren't for Chu Jun's gentleness, consideration, and patience, would you have recovered from your cold so quickly?"

"I'm afraid I'll have to take the day off, and then while Chu Jun is taking care of her, things will continue... Even if you call for your mother, she won't be able to help..."

At this point, Eri Kisaki quickly stopped herself, realizing she was being too guilty and had almost revealed her dream from the previous night.

But it was enough to make Ran Mouri's cheeks turn bright red, and she pleaded, "Mom, please stop, please stop..."

After all, when she was being taken care of yesterday, Ran Mouri really thought she was about to die there.

Eri's last words also reminded Ran of the scene in her dream last night...

In an instant, the bathroom, which had been a little noisy, fell silent.

Eri Kisaki and Ran Mouri were both thinking about the same scene, and they lowered their heads slightly, feeling guilty, not daring to look each other in the eye.

"Speaking of which..." Ran Mouri seemed to suddenly remember something and asked again, "How did Mom know that Chu Jun was... in danger?"

“…Nonsense!” Eri Kisaki said forcefully, “I saw Chu Jun in the bathroom before when he had a bad cold and was covered in dirt.”

Ran Mouri said suspiciously, "But Chu Jun at that time... he was just looking ordinary, he shouldn't have shown any danger..."

This question made Eri Kisaki's hand tremble and her pupils shrink slightly.

Ran Mouri, who was observing closely, immediately noticed her obvious guilty conscience.

The suspicion in the girl's eyes suddenly intensified.

"Xiaolan, what are you thinking about?!"

Eri Kisaki scolded in a low voice, "To be honest, it's all your fault!"

"Me?" Ran Mouri asked, puzzled.

“That’s right!” Eri Kisaki quickly found an excuse: “If you hadn’t been so shy back then, Chu Jun wouldn’t have mistaken me for you when he had a cold.”

"She kept calling out 'Xiao Lan, Xiao Lan' in the bathtub, spouting shameless nonsense... and sure enough..."

Finally, Eri Kisaki said irritably, "Luckily she fainted in less than two minutes, otherwise I don't know how we would have ended up like this."

Upon hearing this, Ran Mouri's doubts dissipated considerably.

While at the villa, Ran Mouri was already very familiar with the floral scent lingering on Chu Zhong.

Looking back now, there really wasn't that floral scent in the bathroom back then...

Eri Kisaki's offensive continued, poking Ran Mouri's forehead, "Take advantage of this trip to get everything done, so you don't just spend your days daydreaming and being disrespectful..."

"Could it be... that you really want Mom's help?!"

Ran Mouri was so embarrassed that her little suspicions were seen through that she wanted to dig a hole and bury herself.

But the images from my dream kept flashing through my mind...

If I could make Eri Kisaki happy like the 'father' in her dreams, maybe we wouldn't have separated...

It was 9:30 PM.

Chu Zhong finished his bath and came out of the bathroom.

It was discovered that neither Ran nor Eri had any light coming from under their rooms today, indicating that they had both turned off their lights and gone to sleep.

I suspect that one reason was that he was tired from karate training in the afternoon, and the other was that he was tired from work, so he went to bed early.

For Chuzhong today, this is actually a good thing.

[Deduct 1000 Spirit Essence, Demon King-level Ran Mouri dungeon activated]

[Instance scenario under construction...]

[Players available for team play. Shall we team up to challenge the dungeon?]

[Selectable Team Member: Leader-level - Eri Kisaki]

Adding a team member, Boss-level Eri, requires 3000 Spirit Essence. Currently, the maximum discount is 50%, so the actual cost is 1500 Spirit Essence.

"Lord Chu~"

As soon as Chu Zhong entered the instance, he heard a tender call.

Of course, it's Eri Kisaki, who is his teammate.

Unlike the situation in Eri Kisaki's storyline,

At this moment, Eri Kisaki, though dressed in an office uniform, is no longer the workaholic she once was.

"Finally off work!"

Eri, the copycat, strode towards Chu Zhong and scolded him playfully, "You dared to disturb my work! I won't let you off so easily from now on!"

This surprised Chu Zhong somewhat.

I never expected that Eri Kisaki had two faces.

When he's a dungeon boss, he's a workaholic.

When she's on a team, she acts like a spoiled wife.
