Chapter 664: Chapter 12: Truly Beautiful and Melodious Names

After reviewing the ins and outs of the entire situation just now, the Monster Maiden felt a bit sheepish.

This time, it was indeed a bit embarrassing. It turns out she was still too careless...

Originally, it was just pure curiosity, driven by a spur-of-the-moment idea, that made her want to follow and observe for a while. Unexpectedly, the person who seemed weak had unimaginable insight and troublesome skills.

Moreover, so decisive, with acting that confused her. Under the preconceived notion that he was very weak, she unconsciously let down her guard. And once she relaxed, something went wrong. By the time she reacted, she was almost dragged out the window by him...

"Hmm, that’s what happened..."

Gu Mo rested his hand on his chin, seriously pondering. This explanation seemed quite credible. After all, his spirit was exceptionally keen, and he only just now sensed the feeling of being watched. Before this, there was no unusual sensation, nothing was detected.

This indicates that the other party indeed wasn’t targeting him from the beginning. Otherwise, he should have sensed something long ago.

As the saying goes, the cicada senses the autumn wind before it moves—

The spirit’s sincerity can foresee the future.

Had this been placed in the template of a Heroic Spirit Servant, he would at least possess some innate skills like "Intuition: A" or "Revelation: A," allowing him to predict impending changes through premonitions.

Moreover, he had always utilized the Power of Lies to conceal his true self. Most methods like divination and tracking would probably fail on him, suggesting this also wasn’t a malicious scheme. It was probably just as Yakumo Zi said, a coincidental happening by chance.

They just happened to run into each other.

According to the other party, it was merely using an ability to randomly display a scene outside the window, not intentionally aiming at him. It was just by coincidence that the scene switched to here, which then attracted attention to him...

Of course, it might also be because the "Steel Giant" he created was simply too conspicuous, being a fifty-meter-tall metal titan. It would stand out in the modern world, let alone in this primitive, early era where artificially made things were of a certain average height—

Especially in standby mode, after disabling optical camouflage invisibility, it could be seen from a distance.

Like a Titan, the metal giant was highly conspicuous. If anyone were attracted to come over and then happened to notice him, equally special, it would seem reasonable.

With this in mind, he nodded slightly: "I probably understand now. But this could indeed lead to misunderstandings... so let’s just end this matter here." To lift high and put down gently was a skill, as the initial purpose was already achieved. He also wasn’t prepared to press aggressively but left some leeway appropriately for the other party.

Neither side is unreasonable—it would be easier to talk if they had to continue interacting in the future. Leave a bit of goodwill, look at things with a longer-term perspective; after all, the opposing side had two Great Demons, so buying some goodwill was quite worthwhile.

Yakumo Zi and Yakumo Lan instinctively exchanged a glance.

The young man in the moon-white Daoist robe had a calm and composed tone, with an indifferent expression, seemingly easily believing the words of the Monster Maiden. Then, he glanced over the messy floor naturally, bent down, and began to tidy up the chaos and clutter.

Yet, it was precisely this attitude that made even Yakumo Zi feel a bit embarrassed.

"Then, um... let me help. I’m really sorry..."

The Fox Demon Maiden Yakumo Lan also hurried forward. With a clear understanding of the situation now, she felt speechless about the trouble caused by her master. Seeing the mess on the floor reminded her that she had knocked it over earlier. Although it wasn’t her fault, she instinctively wanted to help.

"Hmm..."

Yakumo Zi pursed her lips but also sighed in frustration and stepped forward to help clean up.

Tidying up wasn’t too much effort, and there was relatively little damage. Gu Mo wouldn’t directly place relatively fragile and dangerous items out, so soon the alchemy room restored to how it should be, neat and orderly.

Clean, tidy, with distinct edges.

Just like a modern advanced laboratory.

This style was rather eye-catching. Yakumo Zi’s eyes gleamed with strange light. She felt that this person was truly peculiar in all aspects—his words, actions, and strange knowledge—evident from the style of his various creations.

Not the art style that should belong to this land...

So, where exactly did he come from?

She pondered, rapidly listing possibilities in her mind. They were "Otherworlds" with different developmental trajectories, like the Moon where the High Celestial Plain was located, or the legendary Celestial Realms where gods, immortals, and celestial beings resided.

After all, this world up to this point had undergone three different epochs of life.

The first epoch’s life was very primitive, appearing shortly after the gods created the earth countless billions of years ago. Life developed rapidly like a big bang. In the survival competition’s end, the sea became filthy, as the victorious life carried filth onto the land.
