But that's all for the future; right now, being with her boyfriend is enough for her.
"Then let's choose the third option?"
"Um!"
"I understand." Yin Xiu nodded and nestled in Li Mo's arms.
After a moment of silence, he said softly, "If in the future we only have each other, then you can be family, or you can be lovers."
Li Mo was slightly taken aback and looked down at the top of her boyfriend's head, which was nestled in her arms.
After a moment of mental blankness, he suddenly realized what was happening and excitedly squinted his eyes: "Has my boyfriend finally accepted me as his real boyfriend?"
Although he always called him "boyfriend" so familiarly, he always remembered that Yin Xiu hadn't truly accepted him. As long as Yin Xiu didn't give in, they would always maintain this ambiguous and unclear relationship.
Once Yin Xiu agrees, there will be a big leap forward in their relationship. From now on, she won't have to ask for a reward to kiss her boyfriend!
"…Hmm." Yin Xiu responded in a muffled voice, his tone earnest. "I've never had this kind of relationship with anyone before, let alone a monster. I don't know how to maintain this kind of relationship with you yet, but I will try to treat you like my boyfriend."
Li Mo hugged the warm body tightly in his arms, feeling completely satisfied.
Actually, it's enough that he occupies this place in Yin Xiu's heart. It's him, and not anyone else.
Humans have an emotion called responsibility. Once he occupies that position, his boyfriend will feel responsible for him and won't look at anyone else. That will satisfy him.
As for the additional benefits that come with being a boyfriend, those are just bonuses!
"Okay, let's go out and tell them the results of our discussion. I guess everyone is worried right now." Yin Xiu nodded, released Li Mo, and turned to open the door.
Those people had been standing outside the door, all waiting for the two to reach a conclusion.
As soon as the door opened, everyone rushed forward, saying nothing, but their eyes were filled with tension.
So Yin Xiu and Li Mo spoke at the same time.
"If there is no better direction, I will choose the third option."
"I'm my boyfriend's boyfriend now!"
The two sentences were uttered at once, leaving the people in the town stunned.
There's a lot of information here, let's take a break.
"Choosing the third option?" 408 completely ignored Li Mo's invalidation and looked at Yin Xiu, frowning. "You decided this together?"
"Mm." Yin Xiu nodded.
Night Goddess smiled with satisfaction, "The result is pretty much what I expected. I knew you wouldn't let the players in the town mutate, nor did you want to mutate yourself. There was no better way than to kill monsters."
She looked down and stroked the black cat in her arms. "Once the monster dies, we, the followers of this mutation, will also die. Finally, we will be able to usher in the day of liberation."
Ye Tianxuan nodded, knowing full well that there was no better option, but whether Li Mo died depended on his own will and whether Yin Xiu was willing. If this was the result of their discussion, then it was the best outcome.
He knew Yin Xiu well and had roughly guessed that this would be the outcome.
"Since you've made your choice, I have nothing more to say." 408 sighed and looked at Li Mo. "Are you truly determined to die for a human being?"
Li Mo looked puzzled. "Why is no one paying attention to the fact that I've become my boyfriend's boyfriend?"
408 looked furious. "What's it to me! Can't you guys in Nantong tone it down a bit?! I know you only care about your boyfriend, and our business is none of your concern, but at least show some respect for us who are struggling!"
"Okay." Li Mo smiled slightly. "I like dying with my boyfriend."
408 silently pursed her lips, walked into the house with a cold face, and no longer wanted to talk to those love-struck people. Let them be.
408 went inside, and the others followed, since they needed to get the method to kill the evil god from him.
Li Mo stayed close to Yin Xiu, watching as people walked past him with different expressions. In the end, only Ye Tianxuan stopped in front of him and smiled, "Congratulations, my little pet has been promoted. You've finally made it and become a real boyfriend."
"You must protect Yin Xiu from now on."
Li Mo smiled, pursed her lips, and nodded.
Yin Xiu remained silent, saying, "I don't need his protection yet."
"Don't mention it." Ye Tianxuan smiled meaningfully. "There's still a long way to go. He may not need to protect you now, but that might not be the case in the future."
Yin Xiu silently entered the house, and Li Mo followed him in.
After everyone in the room was seated, 408 finally spoke.
"There is no way to kill the evil god in our world." 408 looked at Lady Night. "The strange man who brought the method to summon the god was not from our world."
Lady Night nodded, "I remember."
408 continued, "According to that person, he was just passing by and happened to see the situation in Hai Village. He tentatively left a seed here. All we need to do is offer sacrifices and summon it, and it will appear. However, its future development is uncertain."
"This could become a protective god that benefits us, or it could become a distorted existence because of people's faith," he said. "When everything becomes uncontrollable, go to another dimension and find a man named 'Lin,' who will have a way to kill the evil god."
"Opening the door to another dimension may require us believers to do it, just like the summoning ritual. But the difference is that in this summoning ritual, the evil god must be present, and the person going to another dimension is on the sacrificial altar."
After saying that, 408 helplessly spread his hands, "We don't know what the other space is like, so it is dangerous. We should be prepared."
Yin Xiu nodded, "I'll go."
This is her boyfriend's business, so he definitely has to go.
Without hesitation, Li Mo nodded in agreement, "I'll go too."
408 was speechless. It must be rare for an evil god to actively follow someone to find a way to kill himself.
Ye Tianxuan stroked his chin thoughtfully, "The people in the town are independent enough now. If no new players appear in the dungeon for the time being, maybe I can go and help them out."
The town's players wanted to say something, but then they kept quiet.
Although they wanted to shout that they weren't independent enough and that they still needed Boss Ye, they realized that shouting would only get them two slaps from Boss Ye and wouldn't change anything, so they kept quiet.
Zhong Mu, standing to the side, frowned in frustration. He also wanted to help Xiu Ge, but it seemed he was useless. He was weak and didn't have much fighting power. He might even be a hindrance. But the two people he cared about had already gone, and staying in the town would only make him uneasy and worried.
Thinking about it, he didn't have any burdens on him. Staying in the small town was not as good as going over there to lend a hand! Learning a bit might make him more independent and stronger.
"Then I'll go too!" Zhong Mu excitedly raised his hand.
As soon as he spoke, Mu He, who was standing next to him, said leisurely, "If you're going, then I have to go too."
Mu He looked up and smiled, "After all, my heart is with you."
