Chapter 284 Ling Mo’s True Thoughts?

Meanwhile, on the bed, Ling Mo seemed oblivious to the two spectators at the door and was deeply gazing into the eyes of “Xia Xinyan” on the bed.

Then, under the intense surveillance of the two, he finally spoke to the “Xia Xinyan” pinned beneath him—

“I’ve been waiting for you.”

“Xia Xinyan” gazed at him romantically, her eyes brimming with emotions that even the onlookers could clearly see—Xia Xinyan even suspected that if Ling Mo really pounced on her at that moment, the imitation of herself on the bed would have complied 100%.

However, Ling Mo did not do so; he maintained his original posture, still softly saying, “You said you weren’t ready, so I’ve been waiting for you to prepare.”

After a brief pause, he continued, “I can feel that your feelings for me don’t seem to be love, or perhaps… they’re not that intense yet, which is why I haven’t received much of a response.”

“However, I’m still very happy that you can satisfy my inching forward.”

“Xinyan, I really… really like you.”

“But… sometimes I really can’t be sure if you like me too.”

Saying this, he slightly released the “Xia Xinyan,” shifted a bit to sit beside her, and joked, “Sometimes I feel like I’m being a bit of a simp—but at least I get more response than other simps, and that’s enough.”

“But Xinyan, you know? I’m actually not satisfied at all; I want to be greedy for more, to become a real couple with you… to do the things that real couples do.”

“How much longer do I need to wait for that step…”

With a light rub of his face, Ling Mo sighed again, “Honestly, sometimes I really want to create a big iron cage and lock you up, preventing you from worrying about anything… I can save the world, I can strengthen the organization, I can really do all of that. You once said you wanted me to become stronger, and now I’ve even surpassed you—hasn’t that met your expectations?”

“I know you worry about the future of the world, but saving the world shouldn’t just be our task; it’s a job for all of humanity to complete. Being the saviors for just two people is really not that easy…”

“So… Xinyan, while you’re working hard to become stronger, could you please stop and accompany me for a bit?” As he said this, he tilted his head to look at “Xia Xinyan” and smiled, “We’ve been dating for so long, but it seems like we’ve never had a proper date.”

The Xia Xinyan at the door was momentarily stunned.

Did Ling Mo not realize that this person in front of him wasn’t her?

At the same time, the “Xia Xinyan” gazing at Ling Mo nodded joyfully, seemingly agreeing to his date request, her entire being radiating overwhelming affection.

However, at that moment, Ling Mo’s smile took on a different tone.

He got off the bed and stretched, “Thank you for being willing to listen to me say so much; I’ve held it in for so long that it finally feels good to let it out.”

Then, his gaze gradually became intriguing: “As for repayment… do you have any last words to say?”

The “Xia Xinyan” on the bed froze.

This wasn’t going the way she had imagined?

The Xia Xinyan at the door was also taken aback.

This guy…

Tsk.

However, the girl on the bed didn’t seem ready to give up; she cast a mournful glance at Ling Mo and opened her arms in an attempt to embrace him—

Only to have her throat suddenly grabbed by Ling Mo.

At this moment, his face was devoid of any prior warmth or sentiment, leaving only indifference: “Do you know? When the dungeon first started, I realized just how much I despise copycat Xinyan… You know? It’s a form of insult.”

However, the girl didn’t even hear what he was saying. Once she realized she had been completely exposed, she suddenly began to change shape, her originally risqué outfit transforming into white clothing that began to ooze blood. Her hair grew wildly, covering her rapidly decaying face, and her mouth almost split to the roots of her ears, as if attempting to swallow Ling Mo whole—an intense stench assaulted the senses.

Ling Mo immediately materialized two annihilation grenades and shoved them into her mouth, then released her throat and quickly stepped back several paces, his body rapidly summoning a combat armor, followed closely by the appearance of over ten annihilation bullets around him.

At that moment, Xia Xinyan finally realized the true horror of Ling Mo.

She hurriedly looked at Monika: “Hurry up and leave! Are we just going to wait to get blown up?!”

Monika chuckled softly as if enjoying a good show: “Don’t be impatient~!”

As she said this, she snapped her fingers, and the surrounding scenery instantly vanished, with the two returning to the previous ancient town, yet still surrounded by no other figures.

Xia Xinyan surveyed her surroundings and found they were not in the place they had disappeared from.

“Don’t worry,” Monika waved her hand, “Just a normal operation; only by separating you can the ghost use the Ghost Realm on an individual. Otherwise, getting too close could easily mix dreams.”

Xia Xinyan: “…”

She suddenly felt this wasn’t as cool as she thought.

However, what Monika cared about wasn’t this; she casually glanced at Xia Xinyan: “Are you disappointed in Ling Mo?”

Xia Xinyan tilted her head and looked at her: “What do you mean?”

“The one in the Ghost Realm just now was the real him.” Monika smiled, “Are you not upset that he’s been deceiving you all along?”

Xia Xinyan slightly raised her eyebrows: “So what do you mean?”

“…Cough, nothing.” Seeing that she truly showed no signs of anger, Monika didn’t say more, “I just thought it was quite interesting.”

Xia Xinyan fell silent for a moment.

Before she had even exited the Ghost Realm, she had realized that what she heard was Ling Mo’s true thoughts.

He clearly couldn’t see the existence of something that didn’t belong to his Ghost Realm—after all, having Monika, a high-spec being, causing trouble. So he must have taken that ghost as a vessel to vent his pent-up emotions.

If that’s the case, Ling Mo probably realized from the start that ghost wasn’t her.

That was a satisfactory answer for Xia Xinyan.

As for the things she had heard…

Ling Mo had been suppressing his true desires, and hadn’t she also been pretending to be his girlfriend? They were both in disguise, which was surprisingly similar.

Originally, Ling Mo used to be a part of her…

But… she had indeed sensed a true danger from Ling Mo.

Ling Mo had never actively expressed those kinds of desires towards her; she had thought he was quite well-behaved, yet had overlooked that she had once been in his situation—truthfully, now that she thought about it, Ling Mo managing to hold out without showing any signs had already exceeded Xia Xinyan’s expectations.

However, a hungry wolf would always make a move eventually.

This time, Xia Xinyan had her first thought of not wanting to escape.

She decided to have a chat with Ling Mo.
