Chapter 693: Chapter 456 - A foot higher when the devil is a yard higher (Second Update)_1

That night, even though they were in B City, Jing Chen didn’t take Mu Lin home.

Why?

Because if he took her home, there would be people trying to compete for her affection with him; he couldn’t possibly win against the old man. When the time came, Linlin would definitely be dragged by the old man to answer all sorts of questions.

The military area, the cottage in the forest; For Jing Chen, this was now their love nest.

Moreover, this is also the place where their hearts first drew close to each other, one of their irreplaceable homes; this place, was also the first place Mu Lin regarded as home after coming down the mountain.

Hand in hand, if it weren’t because they got back late, they would have certainly been feeding the public with their sweetness.

Looking up, Mu Lin gazed at the not-so-far-away cabin that didn’t quite resemble a cabin, a slight smile on her red lips, "I seem to have not returned here for a long time." She did miss it quite a bit.

Ever since she went to Ming City, even when she came back last time, she merely visited Jing Youlan and others, she didn’t have time to come here.

Just as Mu Lin’s voice fell and before Jing Chen could speak, under the moonlight, the suave figure that was originally quietly perched on the big tree afar suddenly let out a long eagle cry, then fiercely lunged at them.

It’s a pity, it was beaten to it by a large margin.

Almost like a flash of light, Silver landed swiftly onto Mu Lin’s wrist, its silver eyes roundly looking at Mu Lin, its tiny tail wagging like a dog guarding the house. Uncle Qiaozi was so upset, he furiously extended a claw at Silver, but was evaded by Mu Lin. Just like that, his suave figure toppled to the ground.

Now, Uncle Qiaozi was aggrieved.

They hadn’t seen each other for only a short while, and its position had already fallen behind this dark creature. The fact that Little Mu Lin didn’t help him and instead protected Silver, it really should have taken the opportunity to swallow it whole when it had the chance; then there would be one less competitor for affection.

Its round eyes stared at Mu Lin unblinkingly, with such an accusing look that Mu Lin felt like she had done something particularly inappropriate, she was actually amused.

"Get up." The cool voice carried a strong sense of amusement, Mu Lin looked down at Qiaozi, "If you continue to lie down, beware of Silver climbing onto your back..." Before she could finish her sentence, Uncle Qiaozi promptly stood up.

That is one of its biggest sorrows, it absolutely cannot let such a thing happen again.

The eagle-eyed Qiaozi looked at Silver coldly, but alas, Silver didn’t even pay any attention to it; well, they wasted their cold aura.

Uncle Qiaozi remarked, "This damn creature is clearly a snake, why doesn’t it hibernate in winter, it even sleeps less in winter than in summer." Uncle Qiaozi began to doubt its true identity.

Well, maybe it’s an insect in disguise.

Unfortunately, no one could understand its inner thoughts.

The two, along with the eagle and snake, went back into the room. On entering Mu Lin’s room and looking around, Mu Lin suddenly felt, "Did something get added here?" It seemed different than when she left.

"Exactly the same, nothing has been added." Jing Chen unabashedly stated.

Mu Lin gave him a light glance, "Indeed, nothing has been added, except you; if I remember correctly, your room is next door." She reminded him mercilessly.

Mu Lin discovered that there were many of his things in her room. Jing Chen smiled arrogantly after hearing that, "Madam, wherever you are, I must be there too." His gaze fell on the ring on Mu Lin’s hand, "Besides, Madam is now caught in my trap."

After finishing these words, he paused for a moment, as if he just remembered something, he reminded Mu Lin, "I know what has been added."

Mu Lin raised an eyebrow, "What was added?" She wanted to see what he could come up with.

Looking at Jing Chen, both Qiaozi and Silver simultaneously had a bad feeling.

Indeed.

Jing Chen’s gaze was directly on the two of them, which immediately made Mu Lin laugh. The two of them wanted to pounce at Jing Chen, this was the first time in many years they were so united against a common enemy.

However, their plan was thwarted by Mu Lin. Both of them were on the verge of crying, they started acting spoiled toward Mu Lin, complaining. Unfortunately, the next second they were caught and taken out, one by the left and one by the right, which left Mu Lin rather dumbfounded.

When did they get so close?

Subconsciously, they wanted to bite him, but the next moment, a cold voice sounded in each of their ears, "If you want to keep being thrown out here, you can try biting."

She sighed lightly, "I was originally considering taking you two on the mission this time, but now it seems..."

After her words, in just the blink of an eye, the two of them without any hesitation looked at Jing Chen with dog-like loyalty as if all that just happened was a figment of her imagination, and they definitely were not involved.

How could they bite? Where could they "bear" to bite; at least they "couldn’t bear" to do it this time.

The so-called ’The devil is always in the details,’ after all, they were just animals, it was destined that they could never win against such sly and crafty human beings, much less against this cunning and black-bellied Jing Chen!

For the two of them, in this world, apart from Little Mu Lin (their master), all humans are indeed full of cunning strategies.

With a resigned smile tugging at the corners of his mouth, Mu Lin finds the jealous bickering between these two amusing. It seemed that Jing Chen and Qiaozi have indeed become much more familiar recently.

However, this confirmed relationship has made Sir Jing increasingly aware of the importance of guarding his "territory".

Having not returned for over two months, his eyes slightly scanned the room, noticing many of Jing Chen’s belongings added around. Strangely, Mu Lin felt an increased sense of comfort and warmth.

This is their home.

He turned to look at the area where he used to sit and study medical skills, develop medicines, only to find... Mu Lin slowly walked over. There was a fist-sized pink Night Pearl.

What is this! Mu Lin blinked in surprise, how is this here?

Behind him, a pair of strong hands slowly encircled his slender waist. "Do you like it?" A low voice, somewhat hoarse, yet within that hoarseness was an indescribable tenderness. Jing Chen asked, looking at the Night Pearl.

"This is the one you bought at the auction before." Mu Lin held the Night Pearl in his hand, a faint smile in his voice.

"Yes"

"So, you had been plotting against me since that time." It seems like when she partnered with him back then, it was like sending a lamb into a tiger’s den.

Tsk tsk, big bad wolf.

"You can’t escape now." As if understanding what’s on Mu Lin’s mind, Jing Chen rested his chin on her head and murmured.

Mu Lin turned around, "I never planned to escape." She had never thought about this issue.

Both hands holding the Night Pearl, his waist was pasted tightly against him, or rather forced to be close to him. The hand around her waist was a bit tight, but just tight enough.

Mu Lin raised her eyes to look at Jing Chen, smiling, "Keeping this thing here is blatantly tempting Qiaozi. I can’t believe that Qiaozi resisted stealing it." She was truly surprised, especially knowing that Uncle Qiaozi loved shiny things.

"I told him that if he dared to touch this Night Pearl, I would shave him bare." This was definitely not a threat.

"Pfft." Upon hearing these words, Mu Lin laughed uncontrollably, "You really know how to hit its weak spot. I understand now why Qiaozi didn’t dare to touch this." So that’s how it was.

Especially since Qiaozi had suffered at Jing Chen’s hands before, naturally, he wouldn’t dare to cross the line. This was indeed the best threat.

Moreover, Qiaozi treasured his fur more than his life, fearing being shaved even more than death.

The smile curling at his lips was radiant, looking very attractive to Jing Chen.

This guy...

Two hands slowly cupped his face, eyes fluttering teasingly. In someone’s eyes, this was naked seduction. Sir Jing almost immediately surrendered.

Sir Jing momentarily turned into a loverboy, but he was honestly saying, apart from Mu Lin, there was no other woman in his eyes. "Especially when my lady is seducing me like this... If I still don’t feel something, I would not be a man. How can I be your husband?"

Tsk tsk tsk... Such reasoning left Mu Lin speechless.

The next day, before dawn, Mu Lin woke up in Jing Chen’s arms.

It was not time to set off yet, but it was time for morning drill.

After getting up and washing, the two arrived at the place where Ying Sun’s training, everyone had assembled for morning run. Then suddenly, Jing Chen and Mu Lin appeared.

Seeing Mu Lin, there was surprise in everyone’s eyes.

"When did sister-in-law come back?" They had not heard any news about it.

The crowd looked at each other in confusion.

"I’m here to carry out the mission with you." A shallow smile curved at the corner of her mouth, Mu Lin’s smile was full of joy as she looked at everyone. Their eyes instantly lit up with excitement.

Carrying out the mission together was the best news.

Almost everyone present had experienced Mu Lin’s skills. Although no problems should arise during this mission, there was still an old saying...

Oh right! It was...

Better safe than sorry!
