When Black Little Tiger heard Ron's words—
The hand that was about to lift his wine cup froze midair, and his heartbeat instantly began racing wildly.
A way to marry Lan Tu?
Do you even need to ask whether he'd try?!
Of course he would agree!
As for the words "the chances are very low"—
Black Little Tiger completely ignored them.
In his mind, the word chance was basically the same as guaranteed success.
For a moment—
He was already imagining Lan Tu wearing a red bridal veil, dressed in phoenix crown and ceremonial robes, being carried to his home in an eight-bearer sedan.
After bowing to heaven and earth, entering the bridal chamber under countless gazes—
And finally giving birth to a whole litter of tiger cubs…
Oh… damn it!
That image was far too beautiful.
Seeing Black Little Tiger grinning foolishly, his eyes filled with boundless dreams of the future,
Ron used dragon magic to probe his inner thoughts.
After seeing them—
Ron's face instantly darkened.
Isn't this imagination a bit too wild?!
He's even thought of the kids' names already…
Clearing his throat, Ron coughed lightly.
"Ahem."
"Wake up. Stop daydreaming."
"Whether it works or not is still uncertain. Don't get your hopes too high."
Coming back to his senses, Black Little Tiger said confidently,
"It'll definitely work."
"Boss, what's the method?"
Ron replied calmly,
"I have a theory—one that teaches people how to chase girls."
"The price is cheap."
"Just get me some Qilin blood."
When Ron had chosen Chaton's Doglicker Manual, he'd only thought it was amusing.
He never expected it to be traded for anything useful.
And now, exchanging it for Qilin blood meant extracting its genes—
Which could allow Kesha or Liang Bing to clone a Qilin.
No matter how you looked at it, this was pure profit.
Hearing this—
Black Little Tiger agreed without a second thought.
"No problem!"
But the moment the words left his mouth…
He regretted it.
Since coming out of seclusion, he hadn't seen even a single drop of Qilin blood—
Not even one strand of Qilin hair!
Yet when he thought of marrying Lan Tu,
His confidence instantly surged again.
I will catch a Qilin!
At that moment—
An almost imperceptible glow slipped into Black Little Tiger's body.
In an instant, countless bizarre phrases flooded his mind.
[Big brother, please comfort her… if she's happy, she'll be willing to talk to me again!]
[I voluntarily join the Doglicker Brigade, obey Doglicker decisions, follow Doglicker rules, and uphold the bottom line of Doglickers!]
[Baby, you cried all night—your throat must hurt. I made you pear soup. Oh right, the chewing gum you spat out yesterday? I picked it up and have been chewing it till now. It still has your flavor.]
...…
After fully comprehending everything—
Black Little Tiger's face turned dark enough to drip water.
What the hell is all this nonsense?!
No matter how much he liked Lan Tu—
He was the Young Master of the Demonic Cult, peerless in martial arts!
How could he possibly say such things?!
But…
What if it actually works?
But…
If Father found out—
Would he be so angry he'd die on the spot?
Thinking of this, Black Little Tiger took a sip of wine and muttered softly,
"Sigh… forget it."
"Whether it works or not, I won't know unless I try."
With that, he slowly stood up.
"Boss, I'll be leaving first."
"I'll bring you the Qilin blood as soon as possible."
"Come again anytime," Ron said with a smile, watching him leave the tavern.
At that moment—
Tsukuyomi Komoe's overly sweet voice rang out.
"Kids these days, honestly…"
"Every one of them is trapped by love."
"I've taken in quite a few runaway girls who lost their way—all because of that."
This was her hobby.
Helping, guiding, and persuading confused children to find the direction of their lives again.
However…
Rayleigh beside her suddenly became interested and quickly asked,
"What about those girls?"
"If your place gets crowded, this old man can help."
"My bed is very big…"
Tsukuyomi Komoe instantly understood, a faint blush appearing on her round little face.
"Oh my, Uncle, what are you thinking!"
"Those girls all returned to the right path under my guidance!"
"Oh… then never mind."
Rayleigh immediately lost interest and turned around to drink on his own.
He'd originally thought—
Driving the same old car for hundreds of thousands of kilometers was getting boring.
Finding a new one, letting a new driver break in during the run-in period—
Could be considered doing a good deed.
Who would've thought…
"Ignore that old man. His mind is full of filthy thoughts."
Ron said righteously.
"It's fine. I can handle jokes like that."
"After all, I'm a mature woman!"
Tsukuyomi Komoe patted her chest, then muttered softly,
"Actually, compared to those girls, I'm more worried about Accelerator."
"His emotions are far too unstable."
"And the most important thing is…"
"That jerk actually called me a strange creature! I'm a teacher, okay?!"
The more she spoke, the angrier she became, puffing out her cheeks like a cute little hamster.
After that—
She talked at length about Accelerator's past.
Most of it, of course, was—
Killing, killing, destruction, destruction…
Ron smiled and asked,
"Aren't you best at teaching people?"
"You didn't try guiding Accelerator onto the right path?"
Tsukuyomi Komoe took a sip of wine and sighed heavily.
"He completely ignores me."
"It's like I'm air to him."
Probably because you're too short and he doesn't bother lowering his head…
Ron complained silently, then said aloud,
"You'll succeed."
"Of course! I'm a teacher!"
Tsukuyomi Komoe nodded seriously, then lifted the bottle and took a big gulp.
After that—
The two chatted for quite a while.
Only after the second bottle was emptied did Tsukuyomi Komoe prepare to leave.
"I'm heading out. I have class tomorrow."
"I'll come again!"
Ron smiled.
"You're always welcome."
She nodded, jumped down from the chair, and walked straight out of the tavern.
At that moment—
The system's notification sounded in Ron's mind.
[Ding. Customer Black Little Tiger has completed his confession.]
[Customer Black Little Tiger: Black Heart Evil Palm, Kuafu Chasing the Sun… Host may choose one ability.]
[Ding. Customer Tsukuyomi Komoe has completed her confession.]
[Customer Tsukuyomi Komoe: Human Cell Aging Suppression Technology, Chemical Theory, Psychological Theory… Host may choose one ability.]
[Ding. Individual involved in Tsukuyomi Komoe's confession: Accelerator will visit the tavern in the near future!]
Ron said softly,
"Select Black Heart Evil Palm and Human Cell Aging Suppression Technology."
"Convert them into skill books and store them in the system warehouse."
After speaking, he leaned the chair back, preparing to take an afternoon nap.
During that time—
The guests gradually left in small groups.
When Ron woke up and finished dinner, not a single customer came in again.
He simply closed for the day.
...
Early the next morning.
After waking up, Ron followed his usual routine—eating breakfast while reading the newspaper.
It was worth mentioning—
This newspaper was run by the World Government, and its reports were far less explosive than before.
All it promoted were things like the Marines' bravery and the good deeds of the Celestial Dragons…
Just reading it made Ron feel nauseous.
At that moment—
The tavern bell suddenly rang.
Ding-ling…
As the door slowly opened,
Deep Sea strode in and greeted him with a smile.
"Good morning, Boss."
Ron looked up, his eyebrow lifting slightly.
All customers with the "teacher" trait had already arrived.
Which meant—
As the first customer to enter afterward,
The system would analyze Deep Sea's trait and invite guests from another world accordingly.
Hopefully it wouldn't be something too bizarre…
