Chapter 202
Hecipa: "..." What a slippery hand.
Hecipa wearily pinched the bridge of her nose. Forget it; her goal wasn’t to force Yu Xunge to acknowledge these things. She used a skill to envelop them, then crouched down to meet Yu Xunge's gaze, speaking slowly and softly, "Don’t underestimate the royal family of the Twelve Holy Clans. The rulers of the Twelve Holy Clans have never ascended to power by luck... All the clans genuinely appreciate and respect their monarchs. Even Little Maqi, who despises war and nobility, would never, ever hate the Lord of the Undead."
This was the most she could offer as a warning, just like when she had advised Yu Xunge not to turn into an animal.
Yu Xunge silently met Hecipa's eyes, firmly etching her warning into her heart. After a long pause, she smiled and replied, "I understand."
She didn’t directly address Hecipa’s speculation, nor did she explain that she hadn’t meant to provoke Feng Cang. She didn’t inquire about the uniqueness of Hecipa’s royal lineage, nor did she feel dissatisfied with Hecipa’s vague words.
Yu Xunge simply savored the moment, appreciating Hecipa’s sentiment.
It wasn’t enough, nor was it particularly fervent; it felt somewhat stingy, as if genuine feelings had transformed into a wisp of wind—just passing through. Yet to Yu Xunge, this small token of sincerity was incredibly precious.
She had never asked for much from others; her expectations were actually very few...
After reminding Yu Xunge, Hecipa took the cauldron upstairs, muttering to herself about how she shouldn’t have said too much.
Yu Xunge didn’t call her out. Instead, she walked over to Little Maqi, who had been eavesdropping with her ears perked up, and asked if she could introduce the information line about Guota to others.
Little Maqi replied, "Sure, he’s in that line of work, so you don’t have to worry about him getting scammed. The little danger you bring isn’t a big deal; it’s just that without my recommendation, you might end up in a bit of trouble."
Yu Xunge couldn’t help but laugh at Little Maqi’s mature tone. "Alright, thanks for the heads-up."
The Special Affairs Bureau wasn’t a fragile baby; as long as she made a connection for them, the chances of them getting scammed were slim.
After taking care of business, Yu Xunge picked up Tu Lan, who was munching on Little Maqi’s snacks at the table, ready to head back to Blue Star. She had been out of contact with the little spider from the Su family for so many days, and she felt a bit uneasy.
As she reached the door, she hesitated for a few seconds but ultimately decided not to ask Little Maqi if she had seen the dominoes. Knowing how precious they were, she felt it was safer to search for them herself. Even if she truly needed help, her first choice would definitely be her own kind...
**Chapter 252: Come Back to Dragon Island with Me**
Yu Xunge wasn’t in a hurry, but Tu Lan, who had already felt the charm of the national essence, was anxious. As soon as they stepped out of the alchemy shop, Tu Lan, who was invisibly perched on the head of a goblin, patted Yu Xunge. "Why don’t you come back to Dragon Island with me? I want to ask what the Holy Grail and Beisui really are. If they don’t know, Elder Long definitely will."
Yu Xunge thought back to the first time she met Tu Lan and how she looked now...
The dragon was still the same dragon; she hadn’t really gained much weight, still that beautiful little darling, but her aura...
If the old Tu Lan was: Extreme! Light! Curtain!!!
Then the current Tu Lan was: Hehehe~ Extreme Light Curtain biubiubiu——!
They had only known each other for a few months, and she had turned the precious little darling into this... Did she dare to go to Dragon Island?
If she didn’t go, Tu Lan’s elders might suspect that their little one had grown up wrong.
What if she went...
Yu Xunge politely declined, "I think I’ll pass on your home visit. Can’t you go back by yourself?"
"I can, but..." Tu Lan explained, "I’ve made a contract with you. By the rules, I belong to you now. If you don’t go back to Dragon Island with me and let me go alone, the Holy Grail and Beisui will definitely be angry with you..."
Yu Xunge: "……" Look at you, the more you talk, the more ambiguous it gets.
Tu Lan: "So, are we going?"
Thinking about how she had only received 1,000 honor points for reminding the Special Affairs Bureau to avoid the cleansing by Zelan, but every Mahjong card she collected after the fourth one had given her 10,000 honor points... She needed to clarify the role of the dominoes.
Even without the dominoes, just the fact that Mist Blade had detected the scent of the dragon clan on her made this trip to Dragon Island worthwhile. She wanted to find some dragon nest specialties to enhance her own flavor.
Tu Lan was definitely her little darling gone wrong; she had done nothing wrong! The ones who should reflect were Beisui and the Holy Grail!
Yu Xunge stopped hesitating: "Let’s go! But we’ll swing by Blue Star first; I have something to take care of."
Tu Lan immediately began to plan what gifts to bring back to Dragon Island. Yu Xunge’s card was at her disposal, along with some gold coins for pocket money. The purchasing power of that money in Blue Star was astonishing.
Once they arrived at Blue Star, Yu Xunge got busy again.
There hadn’t been any unusual movements from the little spider, but as for Yu Xunhuan, she planned to check on him personally. It had been over a month; was it too much to see her little brother? In fact, waiting a month to visit was already a bit neglectful.
But finding a reason was easy; she just needed to bring a gift.
This was something she had specifically picked out for Yu Xunhuan while buying a can of tattoo ink at the auction house before returning.
**Burning Tail: Soothing Essential Oil**: Apply the oil all over the exotic beast’s body and massage it to soothe their emotions and cultivate the bond between master and pet. The longer the massage, the better the effect.
Yu Xunge had even asked the little moon fox who worked part-time at the auction house in the Dark City. She heard that the moon fox’s parents had recently settled in the Dark City, and feeling bored, she came to find something to do.
The little moon fox said this stuff was actually useless; it just smelled nice. The products from the Burning Tail Moon Fox were all like that—luxurious packaging, expensive materials, and lots of advertising, but in reality, they were low on practicality and cost-effectiveness.
Given that Yu Xunge had tipped her, the little moon fox passionately recommended the products from the Mist Tail. Although the names of those products were all vague and just sounded good, they were genuinely effective and were all star products.
Yu Xunge glanced at the little moon fox’s name starting with "Mist" and her black-tipped tail: "..."
It was hard to tell if she was criticizing her own products or promoting them.
Despite the little moon fox’s enthusiasm, Yu Xunge didn’t ask, "I really don’t have time to bathe." No matter the reason, it would draw attention. Since it wasn’t on the shelves, asking would be pointless.
A bottle of **Burning Tail: Soothing Essential Oil** cost 27 gold coins. Thinking of Heihui, who was as impressive as Tu Lan, Yu Xunge splurged on three bottles... After all, it wasn’t her who would be exhausted.
And even if Yu Xunhuan really managed to soothe Heihui, she could just take the opportunity to break Heihui’s other horn again, right?
After applying to the Special Affairs Bureau to visit Yu Xunhuan and Heihui, Yu Xunge also gave Yu Xunhuan a heads-up. There was no way around it; she was just that polite.
**Yu Xunge**: I’ve got some good stuff for you during this time, **Burning Tail: Soothing Essential Oil**. Can you come out? Or should I send Tu Lan to help you vent?
After a long silence, Yu Xunhuan didn’t reply. Yu Xunge didn’t mind and closed the chat, only to remember her brother much later.
**Yu Xunhuan**: Sis, I was just cooking for Heihui. He won’t let me meet any Blue Star people, so I can’t come out.
Then came long paragraphs of complaints. What a whiner! This person hadn’t written such a lengthy paper even during college.
Yu Xunge held back for a long time before managing to say...
**Yu Xunge**: Sweet after bitter; we’ve all been through it...
After saying that, she worried that the emotion in her line sounded too dry, making it feel infuriating. She quickly changed the subject.
**Yu Xunge**: I’ll keep an eye out for good things that can help you.
**Yu Xunge**: Should I send it to you?
**Yu Xunhuan**: Thanks, sis.
After sending the items, Yu Xunge set off alone to find Heihui and Yu Xunhuan as soon as the cooldown for **Jia Lai** ended. She had clarified the address when applying to the Special Affairs Bureau.
How could she feel at ease without seeing Yu Xunhuan’s trust level with her own eyes?
With half an hour left to her destination, Yu Xunge used her disguise skill. She circled around a few times, sprayed herself with perfume and magic potions, and then officially headed toward the area where Heihui was located.
In fact, Heihui wasn’t a moon fox and didn’t have a deep understanding of scents, so Yu Xunge didn’t need to be this cautious. But that’s how people were; the more they knew, the more they worried.
For instance, after Feng Cang easily detected what skill she had used, she prepared to acquire a few more iconic skills, dividing them into two sets—one for use in Blue Star and another for disguising herself in various identities.
It would be best to prepare a set of close-combat skills, completely separating them from her true identity’s ranged skills.
Aside from common skills like **Magic Missile**, **Ice Flower Seal**, and **Explosive Arrow** that could be mixed and matched, those iconic skills would never be mixed unless absolutely necessary.
Soon, disguised as an owl, Yu Xunge appeared outside the manor.
Before she could get close, she sensed players guarding the area nearby. She had to activate **Hunting Eye** and carefully navigate around them. If she couldn’t avoid them, she used her planetary skill to become invisible and flew high into the air, taking a detour.
From a distance, she spotted the dragon lurking by the lake, while Yu Xunhuan stood in the water, scrubbing Heihui’s scales.
Unlike before, when he always wore designer clothes and maintained a pristine appearance, Yu Xunhuan was now dressed simply in a plain T-shirt and baggy shorts, sweat dripping down uncontrollably.
