Chapter 241: Chapter 193 (Third Update) _1

"How’s the taste?"

It seems that it’s not too bad, at least no one has passed out.

The corner of his eyes crinkled, and a hint of a smile played on Mu Lin’s lips.

"I..." Bleeh~

Looking at Mu Lin, the guy is utterly unable to speak. If anyone who didn’t know him saw this, they would think he was about to throw up just from looking at Mu Lin! They’d surely say he was crazy.

No help for it, who can resist a face as exquisitely charming as Mu Lin’s? And it is even harder to resist in a society where good-looking folks are highly regarded.

Watching him, Mu Lin lightly covered her nose, wrinkled her brows and stood up, "First you guys... clean up a little bit, I’ll be back later." She didn’t look back as she quickly left.

This was too much. She had to go out for some fresh air. This room was really stuffy, and it was suffocating her.

She seemed undisturbed though it was her own doing. She was actually the first one to leave.

Hearing Mu Lin’s words, Jing Youlan and Xue Jianbing exchanged glances.

Clean up?

Both of them agreed that they had no idea what it felt like to serve others, and cleaning up after this guy was an absolute impossibility! But since Mu Lin gave the order... thinking of this, they turned their attention to the surveillance camera without hesitation.

Zhang Chen immediately understood and rushed to have someone take over.

Honestly speaking, even if they were willing to do it themselves, he wouldn’t dare to order them, unless he had the guts of...

Oh no, what he needed was a cast-iron courage like Mu Lin’s.

Of course, he lacked such courage. After all, Mu Lin is unique in everyone’s hearts.

...

Walking out of the interrogation room, Mu Lin randomly wandered about the police station. She nodded slightly, indicating that the environment here was quite good, but very different from the military camp.

The police station gave her a solemn feeling, tinged with a hint of tension. Normal people don’t like to come here because it’s generally not a good thing to enter. But it’s different with the military camp, where everything is pure, and the people inside, each with their own pure dreams and goals, shed blood, sweat, and tears to attain them.

That’s where she lived for more than two months. Mu Lin’s heart got more attached to that place.

She liked it there.

She always admitted this. She wondered when she and Qiaozi would be willing to leave that place. After returning to the Black Forest, it would be just the two of them again. She hoped they wouldn’t feel lonely then. (Xiaoyin generally slept all the time, so Mu Lin mostly didn’t count him in.)

A faint smile curled her lips and her gaze regained its calm.

Coming to the outside, Mu Lin casually stopped a police officer and asked: "Did you see where the guy carrying the bucket went?" After a short thought, she decided to go check on him.

She was a little worried for some reason.

"He seemed to be heading to the restroom." The officer scratched his head as if puzzled, then said, remembering his colleague’s weird behavior clearly.

The way the officer was acting as if his life was in danger, not letting anyone near him and holding the bucket up high, kept them guessing what was in there.

Tsk tsk tsk...definitely a weirdo; his response was completely overboard.

Strangely, he was spot-on! The surprise was indeed huge, and they should be glad they didn’t enter the room with him.

If they witnessed such a drama and then had to clean up after that ghastly creature, it would be weird if they weren’t scared.

...

Following the direction the officer pointed in, she headed towards the restroom. Before reaching the sinks, she could already see the man’s figure.

He looked terrified, looking at what was in front of him. He was trying to get closer but couldn’t dare to. Confused, she quickly rushed over.

The officer was terror-stricken by the sight of a silver snake suddenly standing upright, hissing at him. Wasn’t it said on TV that a snake behaving like this was basically in attack mode? He really didn’t dare to approach it.

Hadn’t Little Doctor Mu said it wouldn’t attack anyone without her orders? Why was it acting like this now? It better not try to suck his blood! He really didn’t want to die.

The words and the tone Mu Lin used previously were engraved in the officer’s mind.

Mu Lin felt... she was just trying to scare him earlier, in fact, Xiaoyin was mostly vegetarian and... cucumber was his favorite food.

This discovery once baffled Mu Lin herself.

As expected of a Spiritual Snake, it was very finicky about food.

...

Approaching the police officer, Mu Lin asked calmly, "What’s the matter with you?"

The officer woke up startled, looked at Mu Lin, then at the silver snake.

He was truly scared to give it a bath. How was he going to handle this? Little Divine Doctor Mu was still waiting.

Mu Lin stepped forward and finally saw the snake which indeed looked like it wanted to bite someone. She smiled helplessly and explained to the officer, "It’s waiting for you to bathe it, not trying to bite you." If the snake really wanted to bite someone, it was not something an average person could dodge. To be honest, if the snake attacked her continuously, she was also uncertain if she could completely avoid it.

Taking the towel from the officer, Mu Lin went in front of the snake, "Look, you’ve scared him." As she said this, she spread the towel in her hand.

The snake leaped up, cocked its head, its silver bead-like eyes looking at Mu Lin with confusion.

It didn’t understand. It hadn’t scared anyone.

Looking at its innocent appearance, Mu Lin smiled helplessly.

It was actually very normal for them to be scared of the snake. After all, how many people in real life are not afraid of snakes? It’d be strange if they weren’t scared.

Besides, its soft body, scales that made people fear, and the deadly poison it carried, of course, it was scary.

Moreover, there were not many people like Mu Lin in this world.

After its bath, the snake wrapped itself around Mu Lin’s hand again, its head held high, looking exceptionally excited.

It had taken a bath, smelled nice, and its master was no longer ignoring it, so of course, it was excited.

"Thank you." Returning the towel to the officer, Mu Lin nodded slightly and headed back where she came from.

She wondered if they were done yet.

As the officer watched Mu Lin walk away, along with the snake wrapped around her hand, he finally let out a breath.

Today was indeed an extraordinarily thrilling day, he was nearly overwhelmed.

...

At this time elsewhere, three teams were advancing in their respective directions.

"Jiaodu Hotel." Yue Qiao and Zhou Yicen stopped in front of a hotel, looked at each other, "Should we... go in?" Zhou Yicen asked Yue Qiao.

She frowned thoughtfully, "How many have we visited so far?" Yue Qiao suddenly asked.

"If we’re talking about small hotels, this is the first." Zhou Yicen replied.

Looking at the person by her side, Yue Qiao felt a sudden urge to sigh; although it indeed were hotels and bars that they were searching for, she couldn’t understand why he insisted on choosing those star-rated hotels. They had made quite a few reservations already, which turned out to be utterly useless and only wasted their money.

Indeed, he was a prodigal who didn’t know the world’s worries. He had too much money.

Yue Qiao thought for a while, maybe she should let her team stay in those rooms so as not to waste them. After all, they hadn’t decided where to stay for the night yet.

"Let’s go in." After a pause, Yue Qiao took the lead to walk in, followed by Zhou Yicen.

The two of them were unaware that their hesitation outside the hotel looked to the pair of eyes inside like two children about to taste forbidden fruit for the first time, but it seemed like the girl was the one leading.

In fact, that was exactly the case. Yue Qiao was always like this, plus the vibe she had from the military camp training. As for Zhou Yicen, who was quite inexperienced in dealing with girls, he basically followed the girl’s opinion.

The main point was, he still didn’t know how to act like a boyfriend, even if it was fake.

They had seen countless couples along the way, but he and Yue Qiao... Zhou Yicen couldn’t help sighing.

They should just let things take their course.

Upon entering the hotel, a woman with a beaming smile was sitting at the front desk. She looked to be in her forties or fifties, and the smile in her eyes was especially evident when she saw the two young people in front of her.

Cough cough cough... What was he thinking! Zhou Yicen felt his ears involuntarily heat up, and the lady boss’s smile deepened, her crow’s feet trembling with amusement.

Yue Qiao simply responded and then asked, "Do you have any rooms left?"

The lady boss nodded, "Of course I do since you two are here. What kind of room do you want?"

Yue Qiao said, "Single room, but with a larger bed." Hearing this, Zhou Yicen choked, his handsome face flushing.

They had seen the two standing at the door just now. So it turned out that the person in charge was indeed the girl. She was impressive indeed.

"Give me your ID cards to register." With a deeper smile on her face, the lady boss was under the impression that the girl could hardly wait, even under broad daylight.

Feeling her slightly invasive gaze, Zhou Yicen’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, the corners of his mouth pursed, and a cold light flickered in his eyes before quickly returning to his original expression; his initial uneasiness had disappeared at this moment.

Maybe, they had finally found the right place.
