Before Bing Shi appeared in this world, Lu Kai was already preparing to welcome her with a big surprise. How could Lu Kai know that what she really needed was not Batman but an ordinary man? He didn’t have to be a billionaire, or someone who was very badass for her to ‘need’ him. Bing Shi became an actress... They couldn’t mess around too much because of the spotlight that always seemed to be on them, much to their sadness.

Brainwashing everyone’s mind meant that they would lose the purpose of her mission. It seemed like the HQ was training her for something greater in the future.

Bing Shi looked at the rearview mirror, “Becoming a genius scientist wasn’t the best idea. They don’t seem to buy the ‘fool in love’ act either. Your shinobi skills are worse than mine.”

He chuckled, kissing her fingers with a fond expression on his face. As he leisurely drove with one hand, both of them ignored how the car behind them malfunctioned with a bang and rolled to a stop. As they left the car behind them in the dust, they both deafened themselves to the surprised scream coming from the other driver.

“Mm, I failed big time. I didn’t know the situation on your side...” Xuan Mu admitted his ‘miscalculation’. Did he really admit to his mistake? He didn’t sound like he was shocked at all, “...But we like it in hard mode, don’t we?”

“...” Liar. Who didn’t want to stir up war, again? Bing Shi turned her body around to see the situation behind them, “I know you like it on hard mode more, so enjoy yourself as much as possible.”

.....

Mo Luwei’s sudden fall triggered those elite families to take action out of panic. If it was Li Jie who caused the man’s downfall, no one would bother taking up a grudge. If Quin Yu bankrupted him personally, they would only keep to themselves so they don’t offend the devil. Their intentions, at least, were clear to the families.

It was Silika Lin, the nobody actress, whose intentions were still unknown. They didn’t know her reason for crippling Mo Luwei’s body but leaving alone his wealth and family safe and sound. Due to their fear (and the subtlest sprinkle of misogyny) they thought that Mo Luwei’s downfall was her husbands doing. Nobody had ever gotten suspicious of her. They only thought of her as Lu Kai’s pawn.

Xuan Mu opened his eyes wide, realizing what she did, “This is special training for hubby?”

“Yup!” Bing Shi grinned cutely and sat back on her seat. She unlaced her hand with his, so she could begin buckling herself up. Her husband needed some occasional training too. He shouldn’t be spending his time on studying his tattoo. He abducted the God of Hell and Heaven.

Now, they could either flee from this universe before Aoi Hong’s and Quin Yu’s people arrive, hide so the intruders would never find out their identities, or fight head-on with everything on the line. Knowing him, however, it was likely that he would jump into a deadly fight without blinking an eye.

“...” During the whole ride, Xuan Mu didn’t utter a single word. He was distracted while taking a few glances at his composed wife every so often. With every gaze directed at her, his eyes widened more and more. Since when had she plotted this scheme?

It probably first began when she came to know about his god-like abilities. She stirred a lot of trouble with Mo Luwei under Binfinity’s name and nobody had suspected that it was her who caused said trouble- not even him, her own husband, would have realized it, if she didn’t admit to it. If he interfered sooner and looked into things deeper, he wouldn’t have some ferally violent ancient clans going after his head right now.

“Hubby,” a soft voice called out, “I’m in the most danger here. Don’t let anybody kidnap your weakness please,” she didn’t have god-like abilities, so everything was on him, “If you can’t protect me from an army of human elites, forget about fighting against heaven and hell.”

“...” Stepping on the gas, he ordered the car to dial a number. While waiting for the call to connect, he spoke out, “I better lock my weakness inside a concrete safe then.”

“With Internet connection please,” Bing Shi requested, like the obedient, docile girl she was.

While Bing Shi was still the female lead, he used her link to transmit signals to the world law. It didn’t allow him to establish a connection with the HQ no matter what. The problem was rooted in his tattoo that didn’t belong to this world. He would need to build a device from this universe’s energy and materials, which meant... going after heaven and hell’s resources, “Wife. You think I’m going to lose?”

“Alone? Definitely. Going against superstitious entities like Aoi Hong? Your tattoo will malfunction at the worst time possible,” Bing Shi nodded, “I think if I asked nicely, she would share some resources with us for free. Hm. But if you scared her a bit, she would share more resources with us.”

‘She’s definitely jealous of that airhead’s luck. And maybe of the airheadedness too.’ Arriving at their destination, Xuan Mu headbutted his wife, “Admit it. You hate your special training, and that’s why you decided to avoid them by throwing me at a pack of angry old geezers.”

“I love youuuu,” Bing Shi repeated his words like a mighty dictator, avoiding his kisses, she covered his mouth, “I know your work is importaaaant, but this is for your oooown goood. It will help you survive in this biiig baaaad woooorld. Adaaaapt and overcoooome!”

A few days later...

Some students sighed dreamily at the young teacher, listening to his deep voice as he spoke about a magnetic flux generated by a transmitter coil.

One would think that he would at least have a girlfriend, but no, he didn’t. Just like most males in their classroom, their handsome teacher also simped for a girl out of his reach. It wasn’t only simple admiration- it was pure fanaticism.

It was very uncool to see a grown-up man carrying around a coffee cup with Silika’s picture plastered on it, or seeing him surfing through her content after he occupied them with some experiments. It reminded them of the otakus in their high school days.

Opposite to Silika, there weren’t many people that chased after Lu Kai seriously. There was something about him that repelled women from approaching the man. When they tried to find out more about him, he said that he lived with his family. They were confused with his answer at first; wasn’t he an orphan? What else did he do when he only taught students four hours a week?

Well, he did research heaped upon even more research. He had to have a very small wardrobe as he wore the same shirt and pants every day. He also had next to no social life since he liked to go to the gym once in a while. And knowing his preferences in women, they gave up. The bar was unrealistically high. None of them could imagine themselves with a weirdo like that.

But he was such eye candy! There was nothing wrong with improving their gloomy days by looking at a handsome teacher, right? He looked so content and happy! He showed absolutely no desire to change his lifestyle.

After the morning lesson, Lu Kai drove out of the university to have a meeting with Li Jie about their upcoming project. He stayed in the ML’s company until lunch break and then on a random whim, he decided to have lunch with Bing Shi in the company’s cafeteria.

Quin Yu stared unbelievably at Aoi Hong that gobbled everything on the table as if she hadn’t eaten in weeks. He switched his gaze to the skinny Silika across the table who had been chewing on a piece of meat for a decade, “Don’t all actresses eat very little nowadays because they are afraid of gaining weight? Are you really an actress?”

“I’m starving. I haven’t eaten for hours!” Aoi Hong was not shy at all while taking in the second bowl of rice. While eating, she was in deep thoughts. What should she get for dessert? A chocolate cake or a cute bowl of strawberry ice cream?

Both BS and XM still have a lot of space to grow stronger.

They challenge each other a bit too much. ??

We’ve reached 70% of ARC 5, 30% more until we reach the end of this ARC.
