"Hey! I know you can hear me! Answer me right now!"
"Don't play dead here! You stinky man, you have the guts to make the game settings so disgusting, but you don't dare to confront players offline, do you?"
"Damn it! He really ignored me, you, you… If you ignore me again, believe it or not, I… I'll cry for you to see!"
[Alright, I'm here… (Uh-huh~)… Speak, what is it?]
After being revived, and then killed four or five more times by zombies because her inventory was empty, a question mark appeared on Lumine's forehead.
That fleeting voice just now, why did it sound so much like someone making comfortable noises?
You bastard! Nahida is so small, how could you lay a hand on her?!
[Not speaking? If you don't speak, I'm hanging up!]
"Wait!"
Lumine almost cried out, quickly saying.
"Um… this test, can I not play it anymore?"
[You can.]
"Okay, I knew it… Huh?"
Lumine unexpectedly raised her head, thinking she had misheard.
[I said, you don't have to continue the test. Did you hear me clearly this time?]
"You're not my husband! Tell me, where did you hide my real husband? He's such a black-bellied person, he would never let me off so easily!"
In the server monitoring room, Jack had Nahida temporarily stop her actions, and he directly conversed with the player Lumine through the Creator's authority.
[You shouldn't judge others by yourself. Besides you and Hutao, those mischievous troublemakers, have you ever seen me being black-bellied towards anyone else?]
"Oh, you! Not only are you black-bellied, but you're also biased!"
[Tsk, are you sure you want to keep talking? Believe it or not, I'll really ignore you?]
"I don't believe it! Unless, husband, you no longer love your cute wife!"
Lumine pouted, looking as if she was about to burst into tears.
She looked exactly like a pug about to be abandoned.
[You… Alright, you win.]
Jack sighed.
Lumine, this fellow, after multiple adjustments and repairs, had figured out his bottom line and knew his habit of being soft to persuasion but not to force.
[I'll bring you to the server monitoring room, don't resist.]
"Okay, husband!"
Lumine's tears turned into laughter, and she stood at attention, waiting to escape this treacherous game world.
…
Whoosh!
A white light flashed, and Lumine appeared in the server monitoring room.
At this moment, Nahida was putting on her clothes.
Lumine immediately pouted unhappily, placing her hands on her hips and standing in front of Jack.
"Hmph! I'm here in the new save file, working hard to test the world for you, and you're actually playing adult games with Nahida here? No way, I want to play too!"
Jack draped a bath towel over himself, covering his still-working assets.
"You misunderstood. Nahida expended a lot of brain cells researching the Void Device. I was just giving her nutritional supplements."
"That's right, Jack fed me a lot of grass element essence, and there was nothing like that."
"Is that so? I don't believe it, unless… you let Nahida open up and let me see!"
Lumine's eyes lit up as she stared at Nahida.
The sweet and soft little Nahida wasn't only liked by Jack.
She also really wanted to touch Nahida's plump little legs!
Thump~
Jack tapped Lumine on the head, scolding her.
"How could you say such a rude request? And Nahida said there was nothing, so there was nothing. Even if she opened— "
Lumine covered her forehead, looking at her with dissatisfaction.
However, a rustling sound came from behind her, and Nahida seemed to be taking off the equipment she had just put on.
So she looked over.
"!!"
Nahida bent her legs, shyly saying, "See, see? There really isn't…"
Lumine's mouth was slightly agape, stunned on the spot.
Jack covered his chest, a blazing fire burning in his heart.
Afterwards, it was grass element! Overflow! Overflow!
…
A few hours later.
The three, having had their fill of fun, returned to the MC Overworld plane.
As soon as they reached the main entrance.
They saw conspicuous red couplets on both sides, and Liyue-style streetlights stood along the road outside the door.
"Speaking of which, the Sea Lantern Festival is indeed approaching. Lumine, you said you wanted to restart your journey; you weren't just thinking of going to Liyue to celebrate the festival, were you?"
"Hehe, you found me out?"
"The Sea Lantern Festival seems to be an annual grand event in Liyue. I heard it will be very lively and there will be performances… Jack, can we go see it?"
Nahida asked with some curiosity, pulling Jack's hand.
"Of course. And Keqing and Ganyu are still preparing for the Sea Lantern Festival in the Minecraft World, probably a few days after the Liyue festival."
"Is that so? Then I really have something to look forward to!"
Nahida showed a somewhat longing smile.
Lumine, however, looked at Jack with a face full of disdain.
"Hmph! Anyway, in the end, no matter what festival it is, it will definitely turn into someone's impact, won't it?
After all, even in a place like the server monitoring room just now, someone went wild and corrupted two beautiful delicate flowers into his own shape~"
"—I seem to have heard words like 'impact,' dear husband, do you have any arrangements recently?"
Ganyu opened the door and came out, just seeing the three of them.
"Cough cough, Ganyu, you misheard. Lumine was just complaining about opening impact too frequently a while ago."
"Frequently?"
Ganyu tilted her head, and when she remembered how often she missed gatherings to deepen her bond with her husband and sisters, she felt a pang of shame.
The invitation that was on the tip of her tongue became difficult to utter.
Nahida saw Ganyu's hesitation and spoke for her.
"From Ganyu sister's expression, it seems she has something to discuss with Jack. Lumine and I are going to discuss the details of the Test World further, so we won't disturb you."
Then, Nahida borrowed some server administrator permissions from Jack and returned to the castle with Lumine.
Bang!
The door closed, leaving only Jack and Ganyu outside the room.
"Ganyu, do you want to go for a walk together?"
"Um… it's just that, I… Hmm, okay."
…
On the waterfall lake, a small wooden boat gently drifted.
Jack and Ganyu sat facing each other, looking into each other's eyes.
"Um…"
"Ganyu, you…"
Both spoke at the same time, and Ganyu shyly lowered her head.
Jack smiled freely, "Ganyu, you speak first."
"Um… that, dear husband, am I a very incompetent wife?"
"Why would you say that?"
"Because I always use the excuse of being busy with work, and I have less time to interact with everyone."
"No. I've said it before, becoming my eternal companion doesn't mean you have to erase your individuality. You can still pursue your original beloved work and careers."
"Um… Thank you, dear husband, you are so kind."
Jack smiled helplessly and rubbed Ganyu's pair of small horns.
"This is just basic support from a husband for his wife's career; it's not particularly kind. So, you asked me just now if I had any arrangements, were you trying to invite me to celebrate the Sea Lantern Festival?"
Ganyu shook her head and said, "It's not exactly celebrating the Sea Lantern Festival, but I just wanted to invite you, dear husband, and Shen He to go to Jueyun Karst tomorrow. The Sea Lantern Festival is approaching, and I still plan to visit Cloud Retainer."
"Meeting your and Shen He's elder, huh? Hmm, no problem."
Liyue is very similar to Jack's previous life's Divine Land; there's a custom of bringing one's partner home to meet the parents during the New Year.
So Jack didn't ask for the reason and directly agreed to Ganyu.
Seeing Jack agree, Ganyu finally breathed a sigh of relief and showed a relaxed smile.
Clearly, to find an opportunity to say this, the child had been holding it in for quite some time.
Such a cute Ganyu made Jack unable to resist hugging her and giving her a kiss.
"Dear husband~"
Ganyu, however, called out to him in a charmingly petulant tone.
This tender call was hidden within the man's hearty laughter.
