“As.”

Black Pearl’s voice was soft, like when it used to like blowing bubbles when it was little, so cute and endearing.

Lan Yue and Emerald Green didn’t speak, but the emotions they conveyed indicated that they were equally satisfied with today’s arrangements.

Mingxi’s mood became even more relaxed.

“This is life...”

She yawned and slowly closed her eyes.

She had no idea how much trouble a naturally curious little guy could stir up in a completely strange environment full of novelties.

At this moment, in this place.

Everything seemed so harmonious...

In the private room next door, Black Pearl poked its head out of the special black, algae-mud-like hot spring.

“Gulp... Gulp...”

Its thin lips were close to the water’s surface, blowing out one bubble after another.

Its pair of dark, round eyes looked at its big brother, who was brushing his wings not far away, then at Emerald Green, who was resting with a large towel over its head, and at Lan Yue, who had sunk into the ‘Ice and Fire Mandarin Duck Pot’ and was doing who knows what.

“Puff puff!”

So boring.

It looked around, here and there.

It couldn’t resist.

It activated Myriad Realms Travel and secretly floated out of the water.

It first floated past the steaming Ice and Fire Mandarin Duck Pool, secretly peeking at Lan Yue, who was practicing holding its breath using the spring water.

Then it bypassed the napping Emerald Green and the washing-and-brushing Yuan Bao Big Brother.

Finally, it floated to a somewhat dilapidated ventilation opening half-hidden by dense fern plants.

“Rustle.”

It frowned; there was a smell in the wind that it didn’t like. This scent was very faint and completely out of place with the various energies in this private room.

That smell carried a strange, icy aura, floating out from the cracks in the ventilation opening like spider silk.

Something seemed a little off.

“As?”

Should I tell the master?

Black Pearl wagged its tail, preparing to swim to the next room.

Just as it was about to pass through the curtain.

It remembered the master’s rare happiness and relaxation today.

“As.”

It shouldn’t be a big problem; it’s better for the baby to go and see for itself.

The considerate Black Pearl suppressed its intention to find its master. The gene named “Curiosity,” which was actually “Seeking Death,” stirred again.

Black Pearl’s body completely disappeared.

It looked back at its other companions who were soaking comfortably in the distance...

Hmm, the brothers are all busy with their own things, so I won’t disturb them.

This is a chance not to be missed!

Missed opportunities don't come again.

Black Pearl’s body silently squeezed into the narrow gap of the ventilation opening.

Its characteristics, invisibility and Myriad Realms Travel, allowed it to easily infiltrate any place.

The ventilation duct was dark and damp, filled with the smell of dust and rust.

But for Black Pearl, this was just a small hardship that had to be endured in a thrilling adventure, not worth mentioning.

It moved like a liquid shadow, swiftly traversing the duct, following the increasingly clear, cold, and strange scent.

“Snap!”

Black Pearl paused, tilting its head.

Did it just pass through a barrier?

Never mind, it’s not important.

Even if there was a barrier, it probably wasn’t a big deal, since it could be passed through so easily, it definitely wasn’t something critical.

It didn’t even consider that its Myriad Realms Travel could easily penetrate even spatial barriers.

So what level of existence must a barrier that it could perceive at this moment be?

“Plop!”

Black Pearl slid out from a ventilation grate and landed in a storage room filled with miscellaneous items.

Upon arriving here, that smell seemed to have disappeared.

No, it should be said that the smells here were too chaotic and mixed, interfering with its judgment.

Sigh, after all, its sense of smell wasn’t sensitive enough.

If only it had Lan Yue’s nose.

“Click.”

The door of the storage room opened from the outside.

Two young women walked in, accompanied by a somewhat familiar-looking Eliminate Game.

Black Pearl frowned. Isn't this the little thing that served its master?

Why is it here? Has the master already left?

“I heard that alliance first genius came to consume here, and your 02 served her. How is she? Is she difficult to serve?”

The woman in a pink uniform, her high heels clacking like a woodpecker pecking, covered her lips and chuckled, curiosity in her eyes.

The slightly taller woman smiled.

“On the contrary, she is a very easy-going person. Her attitude towards me and towards Xiaoxiao is excellent. It’s clear she’s a very well-mannered person.”

“Really? That’s quite surprising then. I thought such a favored child of heaven would inevitably be arrogant and difficult to serve. I didn’t expect such a figure to be so mild-tempered.

Do you think it might all be an act?

Like those manipulative men and women, don’t they all portray a facade of false kindness in front of people?

Could that Mingxi be that kind of person too?”

The tall woman frowned upon hearing this: “Lisa, I think it’s not very good for you to speculate about guests like that.”

The woman named Lisa rolled her eyes, “I wasn’t talking nonsense in front of the guest, just gossiping behind her back. Who doesn’t do that?”

Lisa extended her index finger and poked the tall woman’s nose, “You, you’re just too proper and serious, that’s why you get excluded and suppressed by Abby and those people. Only I, who they envy, am willing to talk to you.”

“Lisa, I know you’re a good person.”

“No, no, no, don’t say it! I don’t like being friend-zoned by men, and even less by women!”

Lisa rubbed her arms with a look of discomfort, stood on tiptoe, and took a bottle of disinfectant from the top shelf, “I’ll send this over first. See you later.”

“Okay.”

Lisa left, leaving only the tall woman and her pet, Eliminate Game, in the storage room.

At that instant, that very fresh and clean Eliminate Game suddenly seemed to change, its demeanor becoming cold and gloomy.

It was completely different from when it was first seen, like two different transcendents.

It was no longer fresh and clean; it was even more terrifying than when Emerald Green switched to Thousand Spirit Demon Envoy.

Seeing this, Black Pearl almost couldn’t hold back and exposed its presence.

It was so startled that it immediately covered its mouth.

Big Beauty, I didn’t realize you had two faces!

“Did you get it?”

The tall woman spoke again, °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° but her voice was also completely different from before.

From soft and gentle, somewhat like a meek punching bag, it transformed into strong and cold.

“Eliminate.”

Eliminate Game nodded, spread its paw, and revealed several black strands of long hair in its palm.

Black Pearl, who was particularly sensitive to Mingxi’s aura, especially since it spent all day as her spiritual familiar, studying her hair as if it were a treasure, immediately knew that these strands of long hair belonged to its master.

This feigning Eliminate Game actually stole its master’s hair!

Black Pearl’s dark eyes instantly turned into vertical pupils, and its ferocity was in no way weaker than Bright Crystal’s when it entered its semi-Gini state during the day!
