"Although I have already sealed your mental sea with props."

"But it's better to be safe than sorry."

"I'll definitely tell you once I've sorted things out here."

Upon hearing this, Verina knew that Mingxi's considerations were perfectly sound.

For such an astonishing phenomenon to occur throughout the universe, Mingxi must have undergone a remarkable change, a secret of paramount importance to her.

It really shouldn't be known by anyone.

"Okay, then you must tell me later."

"Wrapped."

Ever since she learned that Ke Yi was Ming Xi, Verina had a rough idea of ​​Ming Xi's purpose in coming to Zetalem.

As a pampered young lady of the Shadow Raven family, she could grow up in an environment surrounded by wolves and become a figure that many villains feared. Naturally, she couldn't only have the skill of alchemy.

Those who only work as side jobs have no chance of making a living on Zetalem.

This is a truly cruel forest, where only the law of the jungle prevails.

The precocious Verina possessed her own wisdom for survival.

Even though the people around her, including the butler An, were all pawns sent by her good father to monitor her, they had no sincerity towards her whatsoever.

Despite being constantly hampered by others, she secretly cultivated a group of subordinates who were loyal only to her.

She was never a caged canary, but a gyrfalcon that never lost its sharpness and pride, even after being tormented day and night!

Forever yearning to soar freely.

In her previous collaboration with Mingxi, she provided Mingxi with a relatively safe identity that would prevent her from being exposed, while Mingxi helped her completely break away from the Shadow Raven Clan.

But Verina's attitude changed after she learned that 'Ke Yi' was Ming Xi.

He began to spare no effort in using his power and resources to help Mingxi gather information.

"Why??"

Mingxi looked at the various intelligence messages sent to her terminal, including the information she wanted about the remaining teammates of Golden Radiance Team 2 and Silverwing Team 1.

I was slightly surprised.

Verina ate the red velvet cake that the cook had carefully prepared, her long eyelashes slightly raised.

"Isn't it obvious? I'm your fan."

Mingxi was stunned.

I never expected to get such an answer.

"Is it strange? Do you think a wicked woman like me shouldn't have idols?"

Verina smiled.

She continued, "You may not realize it yourself, but you actually have more female fans than male fans."

Mingxi is the kind of girl who makes all the most outstanding young men pale in comparison.

Powerful, beautiful, self-reliant, and peerless.

She possesses qualities that almost every woman in the world desires.

Compared to the resentment and lack of identification that some chauvinistic men might feel because of her gender, as a fellow woman, she has a higher sense of identification with Mingxi.

Because Mingxi has become the kind of woman every woman wants to be.

Some of them may envy her because of this, but very few are jealous or hateful of her because of the heights she has reached.

When a person truly becomes powerful enough, she will become a god in their eyes.

They only defend, revere, and love God.

Mingxi is such a being.

“...Our ancestors were right, one should indeed become famous as early as possible,” Mingxi sighed.

Along the way, she encountered many dangers and many people who wanted her dead, but she also met many people who liked her and showed her kindness for no reason.

Reputation is never an illusion.

Mingxi's slight sigh did nothing to affect the increasingly tense atmosphere on Zetalem.

"What's going on lately? Pet battles are happening inexplicably in many places?"

"This isn't a battle between pets, it's a terrorist attack!"

The Shadow Raven, Margaret, and Will families, among others, lost many core members. Several mercenary groups' businesses, as well as the Cloud Ice Auction House and the underground Beast Fighting Club, suffered devastating damage and heavy casualties. Some smaller factions were completely wiped out.

"Who is it? So fierce!"

"I heard it was the work of that top genius in the league."

"The League's number one genius? Who are you talking about? That Ming Shen from Longhua Kingdom?"

"Who else could be the number one genius in the league? Besides that little sissy, no one else would dare to claim that title."

"You mean the recent commotion is because of her? Could it be... that the Goddess is on this planet Zetalem?!"

"Sick dog! Is this exactly what you said?!"

"Really? She's a top-tier beast tamer, the darling of Longhua Kingdom, the gold nugget of the entire alliance. What's she doing in this land of sin? Trying to be a nemesis of sin? She can't be that idle, can she?"

"What do you know? Our planet is rotten, but it is precisely because it is rotten that it is more suitable to become a breeding ground for certain dark organizations."

For example, that guy who was recently kicked out of the league, whoever was demoted or something, has been entrenched here for who knows how many years!

The divine spirit is clearly aiming to bestow whatever it desires!

She is a top-level investigator in the Alliance Investigation Team, and may have been assigned a mission.

Many family members involved are now living in fear, afraid that they will be targeted by that evil spirit and die without even a complete corpse.

Last night, the first heir of the Will family was killed, his body torn to pieces; it was a particularly gruesome death.

After the announcement of the Alliance meeting, the already not-so-secret Descent Organization became even less of a secret.

Even if they were on Zetalem, they would know what the situation was like.

"So, those families and businesses that were attacked are all connected to the Advent Organization?"

"Shh! Just keep it to yourself, don't shout it out loud. Of course, if you feel you've had enough of life, then do whatever you want, just ignore what I said."

"..."

Zetalem is a chaotic planet, and everyone there is an expert at gathering information.

Moreover, things have been chaotic so frequently lately.

Almost every day, every hour, every minute, there are loud noises coming from a certain area.

The legendary 'Mingxi' and her pets were like a bulldozer with an infinitely powerful engine, flattening one family and power after another, unstoppable and unstoppable!

The idea that 'Mingxi' was fighting against a single star began to spread from Zetalem to other planets and countries.

The level of discussion has broken all previous records.

Even without Verina's ever-exploding curiosity, Mingxi could still learn about the terrifying battle records of her pets through the contract.

The current eight Golden Ingots consist of one god, six venerables, and one saint. There is no one on this planet Zetalem whose combat power can compare with them.

So Mingxi felt at ease letting them out to have some fun.

If it weren't for the fear that the arrival of the forces would threaten Mo Fengyi's life, it wouldn't be impossible to completely eradicate the forces that arrived on Zetalem!

But her trip was not to annihilate the descending forces.

Her goal was to save Mo Fengyi.

So now she can only wait.

Wait for the fish to take the bait.

"Keyi, come with me to the Shadow Raven's House tonight."

The atmosphere on Zetalem grew increasingly tense, even the oxygen we breathed was tinged with the smell of gunpowder, and May arrived in this atmosphere.

Mingxi has officially turned 17.

In other words, she had less than a year left before her untimely death. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

On this day, Verina received a notification from the Shadow Raven House.

"Shadowraven Manor? Your Shadowraven family's stronghold in Zetalem?"

Mingxi has been Verina's 'love slave' for some time now, but she has never been to the Shadow Raven's House, a place that even Verina cannot easily enter.

She can only go there if the people inside 'actively summon' her.

"Well, my dear father is going to entertain a distinguished guest, who is also a pharmacist, and says he wants to meet me."

But I felt their real intentions weren't what they seemed, because my dear father specifically mentioned you and insisted that I bring you along.

Verina's beautiful heterochromatic eyes flashed with a cold light, a mockery and hatred towards that father.

She continued, "If you don't want to go, I'll refuse on your behalf."

That disgusting Shadow Raven House, even the air stank.

Upon hearing this, An, who seemed to be invisible behind him, frowned, but he did not speak without permission.

Miss Verina is always like this.

Willful, arrogant, and domineering, he doesn't even respect the clan leader.

He was already used to her venting her emotions by mocking the master of the house, which he considered child's play.

However, not bringing Tulankeyi would go against the chieftain's wishes.

That's absolutely not allowed.

But let's see first. If this Turan doesn't know his place, then it won't be too late for him to persuade the young lady.

Mingxi thought for a few seconds.

"I've never seen a place that stinks, so I might as well go and take a look."

"Are you sure?" Verina frowned. "I'm not lying to you, that place is definitely not a good place."

This place is not a good place.

He's not a good person either.

The people there are all like stray dogs raised by bitches; they love to bite us cute, sweet, and handsome men and women.

"You're so pretty, you're bound to get bullied."

An's eyelids twitched.

Miss is becoming more and more unscrupulous. If the people in the main house are all stray dogs, then what is she?

The young lady felt no sense of belonging to the Shadow Raven family.

Would she really be willing to be used by her family?

I have no idea what the clan leader is thinking!

"It's okay, I'm not some weakling who can't even kill a chicken."

“If a wild dog bites someone, I will shoot it dead with an arrow. You know that no one survives my Gengjin arrow.”

"Besides, you described that place so badly. As your beloved slave, how could I let you suffer alone in such a filthy and stinking place? For you, I would go even if it were a den of dragons and tigers, let alone a mere gathering place for wild dogs."

dark:"......"

Verina: "..."

"Okay, then you can come with me. It would be good if we could kill a few wild dogs."

Mingxi smiled slightly, "Don't worry, I'm an expert at killing wild dogs."

dark:"......"

It seems I'll have to send a message to the clan leader later, asking some people in the main house to behave themselves. Otherwise, he has no doubt that Tulan Keyi and the young lady will actually kill the 'dog'.

He didn't see the glance that Mingxi and Verina exchanged; everything was understood without words.

8 PM, Crow House Banquet Hall.

The crystal chandelier cast a soft light, and the long table was laden with exquisite dishes, but the atmosphere was so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.

Seated in the main seat was Darian Shadowsong, the man Verina called her good father and the head of the Shadowraven family.

He looked to be in his fifties, with a dignified face and sharp, eagle-like eyes.

To his left sat a man dressed in a moon-white noble robe.

This person is a core member of the organization, codenamed Confucian Scholar, whose real name is Lin Qianshang.

He looked to be in his early thirties, with a handsome face, wearing frameless glasses, and [N O V E L I G H T] a gentle smile on his lips, like a learned intellectual.

But the eyes behind those glasses were as calm as a deep pool, without a ripple.

Verina and Mingxi sat at the lower end of the table.

At the seemingly endless dining table, there were only four people: the host, the guests, and the three of them.

They probably really listened to An's advice, because none of the other random dogs in the main house actually showed up in front of Verina and Mingxi.

The two were quite disappointed.

The opportunity to legally kill the dog was lost.

"Mr. Lin has come from afar, and the Shadow Raven family is deeply honored."

Darian raised his glass with great respect, even a hint of obsequiousness.

"Chief Shadowsong is too kind."

Lin Qianshang smiled and raised his glass in return, "Zetarem is a land of outstanding people and beautiful scenery. I am truly sorry to have troubled your esteemed residence with my visit."

Mingxi and Verina secretly rolled their eyes.

What a wonderful place with outstanding people and beautiful scenery.

What a talent! With just a few words, he can make the dead seem alive.

After the pleasantries, the atmosphere became quite lively, while Mingxi and her companion remained silent, focusing solely on eating and drinking, much like two little hamsters that hadn't eaten for days.

Although this crow's house isn't great, the chef's skills are indeed excellent.

The only thing we should never miss is good food.

Before long, Lin Qianshang's gaze finally fell on Verina and Mingxi.

"Chief Shadowsong, is this beautiful and elegant young lady your daughter, Verina Shadowsong, who is blessed with a natural affinity for medicine?"

Verina was elegantly munching on a roasted lamb chop.

They were glistening with oil from eating it.

Upon hearing Lin Qianshang's words, she raised her head, a forced smile on her face.

"Mr. Lin, what can I do for you?"

"I dare not presume to offer guidance. In fact, I am also a pharmacist. I have long heard of Miss Verina's unparalleled talent in medicine making, so I wish to discuss the art of medicine with her. That is why I had Chief Shadowsong specially arrange this dinner tonight."

"I wouldn't dare claim to be unparalleled in the world." Verina curled her lips. "There are countless alchemists in the Alliance who are better than me. I think Mr. Lin is much better than me."

"Miss, there's no need for you to be so modest. You're so young yet you've managed to develop the 'Successful Examination Potion.' How can I possibly compare to you?"

The Elixir of Success is a drug independently developed by Verina that can promote the evolution of extraordinary organisms.

Absolutely awesome.

Verina's talent for potion making is indeed very strong.

Lin Qianshang is indeed a pharmacist, so although their conversation was as fake as some internet celebrities, they were able to have a fair exchange when it came to pharmaceuticals, with questions and answers.

It wasn't too awkward.

Pure hypocrisy.

As the two men's conversation grew increasingly hypocritical, Mingxi ate with even greater gusto.

But she actually ate very elegantly.

Not rude at all.

After all, she was no longer herself, but the elegant, noble, and dignified Turan Yulanka, a true nobleman.

One's public persona cannot be ruined.

"...By the way, this gentleman...must be Mr. Turan Yulan Kakoyi, right?"

Here it comes!

The fish swam over, its big, bubbly eyes glaring.
