You are all bad women! Don't come over!

The early morning sunlight poured into the room, and Shen Mochen suddenly opened his eyes, moving his limbs.

Thankfully, all limbs were intact.

He touched his face, confirming his second life was safe too.

He sat up, surveying the familiar room, which was in utter disarray; it was hard to imagine the intense battle that had taken place here last night.

"So cold!" Shen Mochen murmured softly.

The weather was getting colder, yet he was stark naked. He looked down; Xia Qingrou and Han Muxue were still asleep under the covers. They had been tossed about mercilessly last night, leaving Shen Mochen with lingering fear, worried about their revenge upon waking.

Shen Mochen was genuinely angry last night, and in his rage, he decided to teach the two of them a lesson. No matter how they begged and apologized, he showed no mercy. All of this happened right in front of Catherine.

Although it felt great at the time, now his back was chilling with fear.

"Restore me, now..." came a faint voice from behind.

Shen Mochen glanced over; Xia Qingrou was already awake, her face menacing.

"Well..."

Shen Mochen blinked his eyes.

Xia Qingrou forced herself up, but her whole body ached, making it hard to be fierce. Remembering the scene from last night, she was both ashamed and angry, unable to believe she was with Han Muxue... and exposed such an embarrassing expression in front of others. She wanted to strangle Shen Mochen, but her current combat power was questionable, so she needed him to restore her strength first.

"No way, if I restore you, you'll definitely hit me," Shen Mochen said.

"I won't!" Xia Qingrou gritted her teeth, pretending to be friendly, but her expression completely betrayed her.

"Looking like that, you seem ready to kill me... not even pretending anymore?"

Shen Mochen immediately jumped out of bed: "Take a break today, no need to go out even if there's a task!"

"Get back here!"

Xia Qingrou shouted, but Shen Mochen didn't turn back, grabbing clean clothes and heading to the bathroom, showing Xia Qingrou only a snowy-white backside.

She angrily lowered her head as Han Muxue also woke up. Yet she didn't shout like Xia Qingrou, perhaps due to exhaustion or recalling the absurdity among the three of them last night, filling her with shame and anger.

After washing up, Shen Mochen exited the bathroom to find Catherine and Liu Chaoyan sitting in the living room, watching him coldly.

"Shen, you were really quite carefree last night," Liu Chaoyan smiled and said.

"Captain, it was self-defense!" Shen Mochen immediately raised his hands, pointing at Catherine with a grievance that nearly brought tears, "You have no idea what they did to me together!"

"Is that so?" Liu Chaoyan was noncommittal, "Whether it was self-defense should be decided through a democratic vote."

"I agree!"

Xia Qingrou and Han Muxue emerged from the other bathroom, Cai Yuncui supporting them on either side.

"Mochen, restore them a bit..." Cai Yuncui blushed, awkwardly.

"Sister Cai, if you..."

"Mochen!" Cai Yuncui glared, unusually stern, "You went a bit too far last night; even if you're... skilled, you shouldn't have exhausted them so!"

The dormitory's soundproofing was poor, so Cai Yuncui had listened to everything last night.

"They started it by exhausting me..."

"You have healing, they don't!"

Shen Mochen sighed, having no choice but to approach the two women, arms around them: "Let me declare first, I'll heal you, but you can't repay kindness with revenge and hit me!"

The two of them huffed but remained silent.

Shen Mochen softly kissed each of their cheeks, seemingly pleading. But with a faint green light, once they recovered, they leapt at Shen Mochen like hungry tigers, eager to devour him.

Thankfully, Cai Yuncui reacted quickly, grabbing them one on each side.

Liu Chaoyan smiled slightly: "Alright, now that everyone's here, let's raise our hands to vote. Those who believe Shen Mochen is guilty, raise your hand."

Everyone raised their hand, except for Shen Mochen himself, including Catherine, who always wore a cold face.

"He should be sentenced to death!" Xia Qingrou gnashed her teeth.

"How about dismemberment by five horses, or just be cut into thousands of pieces!" Han Muxue added.

In the end, Liu Chaoyan declared Shen Mochen guilty by a 5:1 vote and sentenced him to undertake all cleaning duties for the next month.

Although Shen Mochen protested that it was mob rule and tyranny of the majority, it was to no avail.

Even though Shen Mochen loudly complained, in his heart, he understood that this was the best outcome for him; Liu Chaoyan was already looking out for him.

Time flew by, and many days passed, finally leading to Han Muxue's official retirement.

Before she left, everyone from 0819 held a lively farewell ceremony for her. Han Muxue cried uncontrollably, saying many touching words to Liu Chaoyan, Cai Yuncui, and Xia Qingrou, which made Xia Qingrou and Cai Yuncui cry like rain-soaked pear blossoms, even bringing tears to Liu Chaoyan's eyes.

However, Shen Mochen believed that Liu Chaoyan's apparent emotions were just an act. She was the best actress in the world, with her every emotion precisely on point.

"Tonight, you sleep alone, don't come to our room!" Xia Qingrou kicked Shen Mochen out.

Since the first time, Shen Mochen grew bolder. Over time, he'd often pull Xia Qingrou and Han Muxue along to play games. At first, the two women were reluctant, finally agreeing with some coaxing.

But today was Han Muxue's last night here, and they held a girls-only 'tea party' in Han Muxue's room. Even Catherine was invited, but Shen Mochen was not allowed to join.

Shen Mochen didn't mind, and he was considerate enough to give the girls plenty of space for their whispered conversations. Then he went outside, climbing to the rooftop, facing the silent night.

This was his second experience with a teammate retiring.

He hated all farewell, hated all loss. Although he wasn't very familiar with Xiao Xingshuang, he shared a deep bond with Han Muxue, who was once his girlfriend, one of his dearest. He trusted her enough to share his biggest secrets.

The autumn air grew heavier, with two bright moons hanging high in the sky. They shone brightly, making the vast wilderness below seem even more expansive and mysterious.

In reality, he could have persuaded Han Muxue to stay. If he just told her "don't go," Han Muxue would stay by his side.

However, Shen Mochen knew he couldn't be so selfish. Han Muxue shouldn't be a caged bird; it wouldn't be fair to her.

Wasn't this day something he'd always hoped for? Hadn't he always wanted Han Muxue to have a well-rounded personality?

So, smile and bid her farewell. Besides, she wasn't leaving for good. Hadn't she made it up to him over the past few days?
