Superhumans of the Dome City-Chapter 1347 - 11: Cyber Outing (Part 1)

It’s autumn, and the cool breeze is rustling. The red leaves of the Biochemical Maple Tree swirl around the white tower in the Thorn District, while the morning breeze flutters the long skirts of female students, and occasionally a sneeze can be heard in the crowd. The rapid onset of late autumn in just a few days makes many students uncomfortable; they go out in short sleeves during the day and leave the air conditioning on at night.

"Ugh......"

Qiluo felt a bit chilly when she woke up, and she sat on the bed for a few seconds before remembering she was alone at home today. Qin Qianbai had class in the morning and went to school, while Shiyu Ling dragged Alandia out early to take photos of the autumn street scenes and house-hunting. She guessed this was a twisted woman’s way of trying to bring the family closer. Ever since returning from Unova, Shiyu Ling has increasingly taken on the role of another "big sister," building a friendship above kinship in this peculiar family with her own methods.

"Alandia is the mom, Shiyu Ling is the sister, Qin Qianbai is the childhood friend... then what am I? Am I supposed to be a pet?" Qiluo rolled around on the bed.

"You’re the whimsical little wife who endlessly daydreams, the woman of every man in the house, the woman of every woman in the house."

Gongsun Ce walked in with a cup of hot coffee as he pulled open the curtains to let sunshine pour into the room. Qiluo quickly bundled herself up with the blanket: "Wow, you’re using ’little wife,’ such a female-targeted term... Gongsun Ce, you definitely sneakily read my novels!"

"I confiscated a whole bunch of those weird books from the young lady four years ago, alright?" Gongsun Ce lightly tapped her on the forehead.

Qiluo’s eyes were filled with resentment: "And where would you find a little wife like me... Qin Qianbai is one thing, but Shiyu Ling too! What about me, what about me!"

"Please spare Mr. Gongsun’s waist, would you? It’s rare for us to have a bit of ceremony for the first time, okay?" Gongsun Ce sighed, "Eat properly first before considering the nonsense; it’s already 9, get up for breakfast."

"I sent my double out to work and eat~" Qiluo rolled around.

"Wake up, young lady, no matter how much the double eats, it won’t get into your stomach right now."

The planned new house has not yet been completed, and Gongsun Ce’s single apartment is clearly too small for five people. Therefore, Qin Qianbai generously offered his room next door, connecting the two single apartments and temporarily solving the family’s living arrangements, freeing the head of the household from having to sleep in the bathtub. However, even though the apartments were connected, the size of the original lavatory didn’t change, and two people brushing their teeth together was like competing in a bizarre duel for the mirror’s use. But Qiluo enjoyed it immensely, claiming it provided the missing feeling of everyday romance.

"This is what the mornings of a couple in their first love should be like." Qiluo said confidently.

"Then what were the mornings in the previous months like?"

"Gongsun, the hero, and his harem adventure group greet the new day. I’m the dancer responsible for buffing everyone in the team."

"You’ve already said all the ridicules, and I’ll have nothing left to say."

Qiluo puffed out her chest and made a funny face: "Is that your reason for sliding your hand into my T-shirt? Gongsun Ce, you’re getting more and more shameless lately, and you’ve started groping me casually in these few days."

"I’ve tested several times and found you quite willing..." Gongsun Ce chuckled sheepishly.

"Beneath Qiluo’s pretending facade lies sadness, caused by her lover’s misdeeds, tearful to no end. She knows she can never escape the clutches of the Heavenly Demon, and she will spend her life under this man’s control... with &*%且*#￥... "

"Where did this late-night tragic drama come from?! You were the one actively speaking when you got up, and now you’re playing the victim again!"

"Ah hehe."

Liking this man, wanting to be glued with him all day, is because being by his side eternally brings relaxation. No matter what’s said, there’s no fear of ridicule, shared interests and hobbies, the inevitable sharp friction in life, always smoothed over by his nimble words.

Qiluo herself is often the lubricant that resolves conflicts, thus understanding the other’s subtlety. This man, who is good at provoking anger, uses all his effort to make the people around him happy. Ordinary people would undeniably feel this love too burdensome, but birds of a feather flock together, and the family members are "heavy" in many aspects, thus enjoying the black hole of love.

However, it still feels a bit out of place...

Breakfast was store-bought croissants paired with salad and milk. As Qiluo munched on bread, she was searching for the issue. She glanced at Gongsun Ce’s hands; the white gloves that bound power were no longer on his hands.

"So... you’ve finally mastered the Manifestation Method?" Qiluo asked.

"Mastered part of it, that’s a more accurate phrasing."

Across the table, Gongsun Ce snapped his fingers, and the iron-gray Hand of the Heavenly Demon appeared silently, wiping the crumbs from Qiluo’s lips. The limbs, as robust as ancient trees, shrunk to the size of a normal person, and the touch that should burn all things only made her feel warm. After completing the action, the Heavenly Demon’s Arm silently vanished behind the "crack," followed by the world’s wound quickly healing, everything whole again.

Gongsun Ce waved his fingers: "Previously, I had a conversation with the Silent King, and she said that my Manifestation Method essentially is a Breakthrough Skill, completely unleashed would be a terrifying thing that destroys the world... Though it sounds quite scary, this way I still have room to maneuver, I could just lie as before, couldn’t I?"

Qiluo pondered for a moment: "Used the False Words Seal?"
