Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 1475 - 1340: The Light Bulb

"Wan’er, I need to use the restroom. I’ll have to trouble you with dinner tonight."

Su Ran finally made it to mealtime and quickly excused himself to take a leak, in case he couldn’t hold back his laughter. That would be such a killjoy.

"Little Ran, we’re having greens tonight. You can’t eat anything too greasy; it’s not good for your health."

Li Wan’er was in a good mood as she returned to the kitchen and started bustling around, while Su Ran let out a sigh of relief in the bathroom.

Thank goodness.

Buddy’s willpower is strong; managed not to give anything away. That was close!

However, from the conversation just now, it’s not hard to tell that Sister Wan’er isn’t too certain about Dai Xuan’s whereabouts. I must hurry and lead him into the Dark Abyss. Opportunity is created!

...

Don’t even mention it, Sister Wan’er’s culinary skills are truly great. Even the greens tasted different, and Su Ran, who’s been spoiled by his mom’s cooking, thoroughly enjoyed his meal. This shows that using him for practice was just an excuse.

"Sister Wan’er, where did you learn to cook so well? Whoever marries you is really blessed from his past life’s good deeds!"

Su Ran burped contentedly, truly impressed.

"It’s a pity that idiot doesn’t think the same. Little Ran, analyze it from a man’s perspective for me. Does Overturning Water have some sort of hang-up? Whenever this topic comes up, he just plays dumb, which is so infuriating! I wouldn’t even mind if he were ugly, so why won’t he come to his senses?"

Li Wan’er sighed, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

Er.

Su Ran felt the urge to slap himself in the face. Why on earth did he have to bring up this topic?

Isn’t this just digging a hole and jumping into it himself?

"Sister, I’m still young. I don’t understand these things. Um, I’m going to play games now. I still have a quest I haven’t done."

Su Ran dared not linger here any longer and made an excuse to head towards the bedroom.

"Hey, give me the keys to your place. I’ll lock up when I leave."

"They’re hanging on the right side of the door. Just take them yourself."

After saying that, Su Ran entered his bedroom and didn’t dare to come out.

"This guy, getting shy now."

Li Wan’er chuckled and shook her head. After cleaning up the dishes, she retrieved the keys and left the Su Family.

Skeleton Village.

After logging in, Su Ran spaced out there.

What virtues or abilities do I have to make a girl like Sister Wan’er fall for me? This is a sin!

But he knew that Sister Wan’er telling him these things probably meant she wanted him to pass a message to Overturning Water and break the ice. However, Sister Wan’er’s little scheme was doomed to not come to fruition...

Sister Wan’er is so kind to him, yet he has to deceive her, filling Su Ran’s heart with guilt, yet there was nothing he could do.

"Forget it. Let’s not dwell on these upsetting matters. Time to do the quest!"

Su Ran had already found out the whereabouts of the Sun Soul Stone, thanks to the hint from the totem statue. He planned to use this time to hatch the Sun God Bird. If Dai Xuan doesn’t make a move on the Dark Abyss, there’s no hurry to deal with him.

"Yu Jing, you there?"

Su Ran sent Lin Yuqing a message. He planned to run through the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts with Yu Jing to alleviate some of the guilt he felt about Sister Wan’er. It was only with Yu Jing that he could calm his soul, peel away the layers of disguise, and be his truest self.

"Su the Talented, does this game have an auto-play feature?"

Lin Yuqing chuckled and responded, "My Su the Talented, how do you have time to tease me now?"

"Ahem, listen to you, I was busy with the plot in Celestial Realm and couldn’t get away. Now that I’m done, shall we go do a mission together?"

Su Ran knew he was at fault. After all, Yu Jing entered the game to accompany him, yet he never had the time, which was really inexcusable.

"Okay."

Lin Yuqing’s soft voice came through, "I missed you."

Upon hearing this, Su Ran’s heart in the real world skipped a beat, feeling as sweet as if he had drunk honey.

...

Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts.

When Su Ran arrived at the agreed location, he found that both Lin sisters were waiting for him there. This made Su Ran’s fervent heart feel like it was doused with a bucket of cold water, completely and thoroughly chilled.

This woman, Overturning Water, is far too oblivious, isn’t she? Playing the third wheel, how interesting is that?

And who knows what Yu Jing was thinking? When they finally had the chance to be alone together, she just had to bring her sister along. Why didn’t she bring the whole seven aunts and eight grandmothers too?

However, seeing Yu Jing’s brilliant smile, Su Ran managed to suppress his desire to complain.

"Overturning Water, you’re here!"

Overturning Water showed zero awareness of being a third wheel, and quickly approached Su Ran on seeing him, "If it weren’t for my little sister telling me you were here, I would not have believed it. It’s been such a long time. Where have you been?"

"Busy with missions and plots every day, I’ve almost been cut off from the world. It’s quite a coincidence to encounter you here. Do you two have anything to do? If not, shall we do a mission together?"

Su Ran subtly glanced at Yu Jing and discovered she was laughing carefree as if nothing had happened.

Yu Jing, my dear, you’re playing with fire!

"Okay."

Overturning Water, without the slightest pretense of restraint, readily agreed and invited Su Ran to join the team.

Su Ran couldn’t hold back any longer and secretly sent a message to Yu Jing, complaining about why she brought her sister along.

"No choice, big sister has been talking about you every day. Today, I could only sacrifice you. Su soda, you’re not angry, right?"

Lin Yuqing replied quickly, evidently having her excuse ready. She gave Su Ran an innocent and sweet smile.

"Ridiculous! If this continues, let’s see how you end it!"

Su Ran’s frustration was hard to express. He had just gotten rid of Wan’er and now here was Lin Yuting. Was his romantic fortune really so overflowing?

Letting the sister arrange to have her brother-in-law wooed, what a challenging role to play...

Such melodramatic plots happening to himself, Su Ran didn’t know whether to laugh or to cry.

"Silly woman!"

After tossing out these three words, Su Ran immediately closed the friends interface and said to Overturning Water, "Overturning Water, I am off to retrieve a mission item, and it’s very likely that a guardian BOSS will spawn. Both of you be careful."

This is the crucial Sun Soul Stone. If it were so easy to obtain, then ghosts might as well exist; Su Ran could already imagine what would happen next with his feet—without traps, he might as well eat the Sun Soul Stone!

"What mission, show it to me."

Overturning Water instantly switched into a strong woman mode, wanting to understand the mission process to prepare strategies for later.

"There’s no mission prompt, only the coordinates for this item. It’s better to be cautious."

Su Ran didn’t say much else, and started walking forward with the two women.

Lin Yuqing walked at the end of the group, watching her sister and Su Ran’s backs, and let out an almost imperceptible sigh. What she was thinking, only she herself knew.
