The Daily Life Of A Cyberpunk Magician

Chapter 578 - 299: Deception Group! Smiling Face! Making a Comeback! (Haha, 6000 per day first day!)
Liu Tingruo’s eyes had been briefly rinsed, and they should have been fine, but now, as she looked at the bathroom play in front of her, she felt a burning pain in her eyes again.

This level of imagery was no longer suitable for all age groups.

Jiang Shu was staring blankly in Liu Tingruo’s direction, as he hadn’t expected Sister Ruo to wake up suddenly at this moment.

The plot was as magical as if someone had written it in a novel,

but it took only a second for Jiang Shu to understand clearly.

If he couldn’t explain properly, today’s plan would surely be missed.

”Sister Ruo, you’re here,” he said coolly, though his hands had somehow already stopped moving.

”Go on,” Liu Tingruo said coldly, looking at his halted hands.

She had thought she could perform all the roles Jiang Shu liked with her abilities, even though some were a stretch.

But now, looking at the lower half of the Fish Lady adorned with tentacles, Liu Tingruo realized she was wrong.

There were indeed women called monster ladies in this world, whose appearances were beyond her power to imitate.

”Oh,” Jiang Shu nodded obediently before resuming his work, suddenly splattering mucus everywhere.

Liu Tingruo: ”???”

”What exactly are you trying to do?” Her chest moved slightly as if containing a surge of anger.

”I’m making dried squid,” Jiang Shu explained seriously, even finding it within himself to joke at such a time.

”Dried squid?” Liu Tingruo stared at the shriveled tentacles in his hand, suddenly feeling a chill, ”Who would eat that?”

”Never said it was for you,” Jiang Shu shrugged, his expression suggesting ”you’re being oversensitive,” then quickly, sensing that Liu Tingruo was on the verge of exploding, he earnestly added, ”I need the Fish Lady’s help with a task in Thirteen District this afternoon, so I’m taking her there now.”

He paused before continuing, ”But her tentacles are too large, they won’t fit into the Magic Table, so I need to wring out the water first.”

Listening to Jiang Shu’s explanation, Liu Tingruo blinked, her chest gradually calming down.

If that was truly the case, she could accept it.

Still, it definitely left a bitter taste in her heart.

What woman could witness such a scene in the bathroom involving her own man and not feel upset?

But Liu Tingruo was Liu Tingruo; she knew getting angry at this moment would only disrupt Jiang Shu’s work, no different from those unreasonable women.

She’d remember this.

”Then keep busy, come down and have a bath later before dinner,” Liu Tingruo floated away after dropping this comment, without any further action or words.

”Phew,” Jiang Shu let out a breath of relief.

Fortunately, Sister Ruo was still the sensible Sister Ruo, not making a scene.

He glanced at the octopus lady next to him, sized her up, thought she was manageable, then activated the Paper Card Technique and vanished with the Fish Lady, turning into a poker card dispersing in the air.

Xiao Jia drifted out of the single room, casually closing the door behind him.

The living room was still only occupied by the fox, as Lang Tai and the painter had gone to check out the area near Sages Group.

”What’s going on in there?” The fox hesitated for a moment, but curiosity got the better of him and he asked.

Jia: He’s a Key Master, turned into this state due to an accident.

Jia: But don’t laugh at his appearance, he is just like us, a perfectly sane, normal person.

Xiao Jia still decided not to tell the fox the truth that the Rat King Phil was actually a Wisdom Mutant rather than a Key Master, as being a Key Master was somewhat more acceptable.

Mutants were often thought of as brutal monsters that were impossible to communicate with.

This notion had been imprinted in the minds of the people of Lonely City for decades.

Only outsiders like Jiang Shu would genuinely not mind the true identity of Rat King Phil, and this natural acceptance was why Phil preferred his company.

”Oh,” the fox nodded, having no objections.

”Bang—” At that moment, sounds emerged from the Magic Table again, followed by the opening of the table door, with Jiang Shu crawling out from it.

The judgement method of this Return to City Skill was still unclear, but whenever Jiang Shu appeared in the Magic Table, he emerged in a state where the Fish Lady was clinging to his back, given the cramped space.

A man emerging from the small magic table with a stunning octopus lady on his back, both draped in slippery mucus, indeed broadened the fox’s horizons.

”What is that?” he queried Xiao Jia.

Xiao Jia darted about in the air, observing the scene from a few angles, glanced at Jiang Shu, then at the Fish Lady on Jiang Shu’s head, and gave a confident response.

Jia: Brain cushion wave.

Fox: ”...”

He figured the Tablet Spirits all had a touch of strangeness.

Jia: This is also a Key Master, who had an accident, so he can’t be seen by people.

”Oh,” the fox added nothing further.

Since he could accept the existence of rat-headed people, accepting a beautiful octopus lady was naturally not an issue.

However, the fox couldn’t help but feel a sour emotion arise unprovoked within him.

He didn’t know why, but why were there no beautiful women around him, while Jiang Shu always seemed to be surrounded by diverse beauties?
