9 min read2,241 words

“I am Li Mu, an intern employee of Myriad Worlds Dream Fulfilling Company. My current task is to send a girl to Li Xunhuan…”

The cold wind acted as a knife, using the ground as the cutting board, and people as fish meat.

The snowstorm extended for thousands of miles, making everything seem like bright white silver.

Little Li’s Flying Dagger world, a small inn next to the pass leading to the borders.

After Tang Ruoyou appeared, Li Mu’s inner monologue was forcibly interrupted.

The two stared at each other.

Li Mu wore a shawl wig, wrapped in a Ming Dynasty-style cotton coat stuffed with duck down, carried a package cross-body, a gorgeous long sword, and cosplayed a young knight in ancient costume.

Tang Ruoyou, on the other hand, wore a simple ponytail and a white floral dress, looking carefree. She even held a cup of milk tea with ice in her hand.

Seeing the customer’s appearance, Li Mu already understood that the worst had happened, and the difficulty of his task was forced to escalate.

“Tang Ruoyou, are you not prepared at all?” Li Mu asked unwillingly and said nonsense.

Tang Ruoyou looked at the surroundings stupidly: “What should I prepare for?”

“I reminded you.” Li Mu said helplessly.

The inexperience of the intern Dream Fulfiller was clearly demonstrated at this moment. He did not emphasize the danger and authenticity of traveling through the world to his clients.

“But, I thought it was a dream.” Tang Ruoyou looked around, opened his arms, and spun around excitedly, “It must be a dream now! It’s freezing and snowy outside, and I don’t feel cold at all! It’s such an interesting dream. Ah! It’s amazing how the plot can be connected.”

Li Mu said with a dark face: “Miss Tang, I regret to tell you that this is not a dream. Have you seen this protective shield? We have five minutes to talk. During the protective time, the outside world cannot affect us. In a few minutes, we will truly enter the world of Little Li’s Flying Dagger.”

“Isn’t it a dream?” Tang Ruoyou asked suspiciously.

She pinched her thigh quietly with her hands, testing whether she was dreaming in the most primitive way.

The touch felt real and hurt.

The most important thing was that she didn’t wake up from the dream.

Tang Ruoyou’s face turned slightly pale.

Li Mu pouted: “Has it been verified?”

Tang Ruoyou did not answer Li Mu. She remembered another more terrifying thing and asked in a trembling voice: “Is the agreement in my mind true?”

Li Mu said: “Yes.”

Tang Ruoyou asked: “Have we really traveled through time?”

Li Mu said: “Yes.”

Tang Ruoyou asked in a tentative tone: “Am I here to perform a vigorous love affair with Li Xunhuan?”

Li Mu glanced at her and nodded: “To be precise, you are here to be pregnant with his child!”

Tang Ruoyou’s face suddenly turned red, and she glared at Li Mu and said, “When I look forward to the good things, can you stop mentioning those disgusting things all the time!”

“Disgusting?” Li Mu raised his eyebrows and said, “Before starting this journey, I would like to ask you to confirm one thing again. No matter what the process is, our ultimate goal is to make you pregnant with Li Xunhuan’s child. Only by achieving this result, our agreement will end.”

“Is it necessary?” Tang Ruoyou’s face changed slightly.

“Yes.” Li Mu said.

Tang Ruoyou was stunned for a moment: “Can I regret it?”

Of course, you can regret it, but then my first business will be wasted!

Conscience?

Compared with this position, it is nothing!

When Li Mu aspired to become a regular employee of Dream Fulfilling Company, morality and things like that were thrown out of the horizon.

Thinking about the bright future of Dream Fulfilling Company and the seniors who failed in their missions, Li Mu took a deep breath and instantly hardened his heart: “When you signed the agreement, there was no room for regrets! Miss Tang Ruoyou, when you signed the contract, I reminded you to think about it seriously.”

“But, I thought I was dreaming. Of course, I feel so good in a dream!” Tang Ruoyou looked at the martial arts people outside like a monkey. She approached Li Mu, pulled his arm, and winked. Big eyes begged, “Little brother, let’s just fall in love and not have children, okay?”

Only falling in love but not having children?

You are thinking too nice!

Li Mu glanced at the softness close to his arm with disdain, and smiled slightly: “No!”

Her killer move unexpectedly failed. Tang Ruoyou threw away Li Mu’s arm and said angrily: “Why are you so stubborn? How can you force me to do such a thing? I’m still a girl, okay? I don’t want to pregnant out of wedlock, pregnant with a stranger’s child!”

Idiot!

Li Mu was speechless, thinking about his current situation.

Perhaps, the failure of the predecessors may not only be due to difficulty, but also due to customers!

But here, failure is not allowed!

Li Mu said expressionlessly: “Miss Tang, after signing the Dream Fulfilling Agreement, if your dream is not fulfilled, both of us will be trapped in this world, and no one can go back!”

Tang Ruoyou glared at Li Mu, looking like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water: “Even if I can’t go back, I don’t want to be pregnant with Li Xunhuan’s child!”

“Okay! Correct what I said just now.” Li Mu glanced at her and smiled like a devil, “You can’t go back. As a Dream Fulfiller, I can only count one mission failure at most, and I will only get one less commission. I can still go back.”

“Are you lying to me?” Tang Ruoyou looked at him coldly, took a sip of the iced milk tea in his hand, and said, “It doesn’t matter if you don’t go back, time travel is what many people dream of!”

“Time travel?” Li Mu snorted and looked at the innocent-looking girl, “Miss Tang, since you made the wish to be pregnant with Li Xunhuan’s child, you should understand what kind of world this is! Here, might make right. For people living here, killing is a common occurrence. There is no law and no morality. Of course, there is no electricity or WiFi. You can try to imagine what it would be like to live here.”

For the sake of performance, Li Mu blocked his conscience and intimidated his customers!

Tang Ruoyou’s face changed slightly, and she persisted: “I am a modern person, with knowledge and culture that is more than a thousand years ahead of them. Even if you leave me here, I can still live well!”

“What level do you know in Traditional Chinese?” Li Mu suddenly asked.

“…” Tang Ruoyou.

“What is the formula of soap?” Li Mu asked.

“…” Tang Ruoyou.

“Do you have any money?” Li Mu asked.

“…” Tang Ruoyou.

“There’s not even a towel here!” Li Mu said.

“…” Tang Ruoyou.

“Have you seen that fat man with a purple face? That’s Zhuge Lei from the Golden Lion Escort Agency. If he forces you to do something against your will, how will you resist?” Li Mu pointed at the plot character Zhuge Lei at the table and asked.

After five minutes of isolation protection, they can see people in another world, but people outside cannot contact them.

“…”

Tang Ruoyou subconsciously looked at Zhuge Lei, who was chatting and laughing with his subordinates. He was rude, ugly, and dirty. It seemed that she could smell the stench of his body from afar.

After imagining the possibility of being caught by him, Tang Ruoyou couldn’t help shuddering and her face turned pale.

“Wake up, this is the real world, not a TV series with a beautiful coat. If you have read some martial arts novels by dark writers, the tragic experiences of the female warriors in them are the reality. In the real world, bad guys will not save the heroine’s virginity for the protagonist…” Li Mu moved his eyes away from the turbulent place and said leisurely, “Suppose you are very lucky and escape Zhuge Lei’s hand and escape, In this world without navigation, you probably can’t even recognize the road! I think freezing to death is the best outcome. Of course, it’s also possible to starve to death. I don’t think you have the ability to survive in the wild.”

The ideal is beautiful, but the reality is cruel!

Li Mu used cruel reality to pop the beautiful vision created by Tang Ruoyou’s imagination.

“Wow!”

Tang Ruoyou cried loudly.

Under Li Mu’s aggressive questioning, Tang Ruoyou suddenly discovered that she was nothing outside the familiar living environment, and that isekai novels were all lies!

“Miss Tang, you can cry for two minutes.” Li Mu raised his wrist and looked at the time, “After two minutes, the protective cover will fail and we will enter the world of Little Li’s Flying Dagger. I’ll ask again, are you sure you want to give up?”

“Is there no other way?” Tang Ruoyou had tears in her eyes, sobbing and making her last effort, “I am the second generation of rich and have been allocated twenty-three apartments in Shengjing. If you let me go back, I will compensate you for everything.”

What kind of compensation is worth a job in a dream company?!

Moreover, with our current relationship, you must immediately regret after we go back. Will there be compensation?

What a liar!

Besides, compared with the vast future of Dream Fulfilling Company, one or two apartments is nothing!

He flatly refused: “Unless you fulfill your dream, there is no way for you to leave this world.”

Tang Ruoyou was silent, looking at the people in the inn, and then at Li Mu, with a struggling expression on her face, as if she was making a difficult choice.

“Ahem!” Li Mu coughed lightly, his eyes wandering, “Miss Tang, you are a girl from the 21st century, it’s just being pregnant with Li Xunhuan’s child, it’s not a big deal, right? Modern medical technology is so advanced, if you don’t want to give birth to a child, a few pills can solve it! When the time comes, you can continue to be a carefree rich girl, and then find a successor to live happily for the rest of your life. If you don’t tell, who will know what happened?”

At this moment, Li Mu looked like a scum who dragged innocents to hell.

Sure enough, conscience and morality are nothing if separated from a stable social order!

This sentence became the last straw that broke Tang Ruoyou’s mind.

She gritted her teeth and glared at Li Mu: “Scumbag!”

“It’s none of my business!” Li Mu touched the tip of his nose and laughed twice to hide the embarrassment in his heart, “Tang Ruoyou, you made the wish, and you signed the agreement, I’m just the expert to help you fulfill your wish. ”

“Can I bring things from this world back to Earth?” Knowing that things were irreversible, Tang Ruoyou wiped away her tears and began to look for the benefits of time travel.

Compared with the terrifying time travel, being pregnant out of wedlock was not unacceptable, just treat it like a mosquito bite!

“No more than one kilogram.” Li Mu said.

“You will ensure my safety, right?” Tang Ruoyou asked.

“Just follow my arrangement.” Li Mu said.

“Okay, I promise you.” Tang Ruoyou looked at Li Mu, as if he wanted to imprint his appearance into his head, and gritted his teeth and said, “I don’t want the third person to know about what happened here.”

“Of course.” Li Mu breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, “We have signed an agreement.”

“What’s your name?” Tang Ruoyou asked.

“Li Xiaobai.”

Li Mu glanced at the Green Lotus Sword in his hand and made up a name casually.

The Green Lotus Sword was a prop provided by the company. It was 1.2 meters long, forged strictly according to the shape in the game. It should be as gorgeous as possible.

This was the weapon Li Mu specially selected in order to use Being Barehanded Blade Blocked.

Just like the skills, what Dream Fulfilling Company has prepared for the intern Dream Fulfillers was also some flashy but useless things.

Tang Ruoyou asked with a stern face: “Real name?”

Li Mu smiled and said: “Fake!”

When people are wandering around the world, their pseudonym is the most important thing!

In the world of martial arts, names didn’t matter.

But if he encountered some high-level fairy world in the future, there were a lot of witchcraft or superpowers that could curse people by their names. Using a pseudonym could save him a lot of unnecessary trouble.

Besides, he would have to live in the same world as his customers in the future. Who knew if he would be resented by his customers?

“Hmph!” Tang Ruoyou stamped her foot hard and stared at Li Mu’s face, “I will remember you.”

“It’s useless.” Li Mu lowered his voice, “I’m not afraid to tell you that this face is also fake! Miss Tang, ours is a one-time cooperative relationship. After the agreement is completed, there will be no more chance for us to meet.”

“…” Tang Ruoyou.
