Watching Qingque run off, Sushang shook her head in a cute, confused way.
She did not really understand how Qingque, who had just been saying she was hungry, suddenly had to go back to work.
She even said she was going to be late for work.
But they had only just gotten off work not long ago, so how could it already be time to work again?
Could the Divination Commission really be some kind of shady department?
Originally the two of them planned to go back to Changle Heaven after finishing lunch at the Alchemy Commission.
But after the dishes were served, Qingque stopped eating.
Looking at the full table of food prepared for two people, now that Qingque had left, only she could enjoy it alone.
Sushang held a chicken leg in her hand, eating until oil covered her mouth.
"Ah... being treated by someone else is really great!"
Sushang sitting at the table showed a happy expression.
'When you don't have to spend your own money, everything tastes good!'
The only bad thing was that there was too much food. It was almost impossible for her to finish it all by herself.
And wasting food was not a good behavior.
Sushang slightly frowned and stared at the table in a daze.
Only when her stomach started making drum sounds did Sushang come back to her senses. She licked the corner of her mouth and said, "Why think so much, eat first and talk later!"
———
On the streets of the Alchemy Commission, a young man and a young woman walked together, arm in arm.
The young man looked refined and handsome. From appearance alone it was impossible to tell whether he was a Xianzhou native or an outsider.
The girl's race could be recognized at a glance. The large tail and ears, only Foxians on the Luofu matched these body features.
The young man pointed at the scenery around them, speaking excitedly about something. When his eyes turned toward the girl beside him, joy showed in his gaze.
On the sparsely populated streets of the Alchemy Commission, a pair like this attracted a lot of attention.
Probably a couple who had only recently gotten together.
That was what passersby concluded.
After all, only when people first get together do they make such a big show wanting everyone to know they are together.
Of course, what the passersby thought, Levi and "Tingyun" did not know.
They continued walking forward on their own, without any intention of stopping.
"Tingyun" looked at Levi beside her who was speaking confidently, and could not help showing a look of "admiration."
"Young master really knows a lot! This little woman truly admires you!"
"Not at all, not at all. If we talk about knowing a lot, Miss Tingyun knows even more!"
The two looked at each other and smiled.
'Laugh while you can!' ×2
'When I cut you later let's see if you can still laugh!'
"Miss Tingyun, how about we go take a look over there?"
'Just enjoy taking advantage of me for now, later I'll see how I kill you!'
"Mm, this little woman was thinking the same."
Each with their own hidden intentions, Levi led "Tingyun" toward the distance.
Because of the Stellaron activated on the Luofu, many monsters had appeared all over the Luofu.
Even though the Cloud Knights had already cleared most of the monsters from the realms, pedestrians on the streets were still scarce.
Most people stayed inside their homes to stay safe.
Looking at the scattered passersby, Levi thought, 'Still not few enough…'
If he fought Phantylia here, the people nearby would most likely all be GG.
The best place should be somewhere open and sparsely populated.
Sparse population alone was not enough. It would be best if there was no one at all.
But even the suspended Cloudford had Cloud Knights searching inside for Abominations of Abundance and Fragmentum creatures.
After thinking it over and over, he could not find any good place.
'No good…' Levi looked up into the air at something like an alchemy furnace. 'Drag her to the Supreme Elixir Chamber and blow up together with the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus!'
Although there was still the possibility of hurting the wrong people, most of the people there were Disciples of Sanctus Medicus, so the chance of accidental injury was not high.
Just as Levi was struggling with whether to do this, the fake Tingyun beside him spoke.
"Young master, how about you and I go admire the vast Ancient Sea at Scalegorge Waterscape."
'Scalegorge Waterscape!'
Hearing fake Tingyun's words, a flash of light passed through Levi's eyes.
For a moment he had not even remembered that place existed.
Scalegorge Waterscape, the holy land of the Vidyadhara.
The Vidyadhara completed their rebirth through eggs here. One could say both their life and death were here.
This place was extremely important to the Vidyadhara.
And there were many Vidyadhara eggs present, so outsiders were normally forbidden from approaching. Naturally it was sparsely populated.
On top of that, Scalegorge Waterscape was covered by the Ancient Sea, and the exposed areas were very limited.
It could even reach the level of having no one at all.
If he was worried about damaging the Vidyadhara eggs, they could move directly onto the Ancient Sea to fight.
Though fighting in a place full of water would not be very advantageous for Levi...
"Young master, what do you think?"
Fake Tingyun's voice sounded again. Levi came back to his senses and put on a troubled expression.
"Miss Tingyun also knows that Scalegorge Waterscape is the Vidyadhara holy land. Outsiders are forbidden from entering… forget it!"
"Since Miss Tingyun said it, then let's go take a walk at Scalegorge Waterscape."
Levi waved his arm, putting on the look of a proper man.
Fake Tingyun put on a happy expression on the surface, but inwardly sneered, "What a fake act. Truly disgusting."
This was probably why she hated life and wanted to destroy it.
Looking at Levi pulling her along toward Scalegorge Waterscape, Phantylia's eyes showed contempt.
Like an idiot, saying things completely out of character for his identity, yet he had not doubted her at all.
And he agreed so easily to go to Scalegorge Waterscape.
That was fine too. It saved a lot of talking.
Suddenly Levi seemed to feel something and looked behind him.
Phantylia was slightly startled and immediately hid the contempt in her eyes, asking him curiously, "What is it?"
"Nothing."
After staring at her for a few seconds, Levi withdrew his gaze.
Just now he felt like someone behind him was cursing him. When he turned around he only saw this fake Tingyun. If nothing unexpected happened, the one cursing him was her.
Walking ahead, Levi smiled, though the smile looked a bit frightening.
"Miss Tingyun, let's hurry a bit, otherwise it won't be safe if it gets dark before we return."
'I can't wait to chop you down already!'
"So urgent… since young master says so, then let's hurry a bit."
Phantylia smiled slightly, almost letting her true thoughts slip out.
'Since you're in such a hurry to die, I'll grant your wish!'
After the two left, the bushes not far away moved slightly, and a trace of green showed through the gaps between the branches.
"That guy! And that woman!"
Qingque's sharp eyes saw at once that the Foxian woman was no good.
Going to Scalegorge Waterscape at a time like this?
Even if he died no one would collect his corpse.
"Aren't you usually pretty clever? Why are you acting like an idiot at a time like this!"
Qingque looked at the time, gritted her teeth, and finally decided to follow and stop Levi.
No matter what that Foxian woman's plan was, she would not let her succeed.
[Gambling with Life (Qingque): Grand Diviner! I want to use my vacation!]
Seeing the message Qingque sent, Fu Xuan silently replied.
[Heartless Divination Machine (Fu Xuan): Did you forget? Your vacation days are already used up.]
[Gambling with Life: ...]
[Gambling with Life: Then I'll take sick leave.]
[Heartless Divination Machine: What illness?]
[Gambling with Life: My mind suffered heavy damage. The doctor said I need half a month of quiet recovery.]
"What could have caused Qingque mental damage."
"..."
