Tomb Raiders: After the Nine Gates Ancestor, they let loose and did whatever they wanted!

As dawn broke, Black Glasses slowly awoke from his sweet dream, probably from drinking and being hungover with those "freaks" who seemed to have gained superpowers.

I've been feeling incredibly bored lately, and since I have nothing better to do, I've decided to clear my head a bit.

The person was not fully awake yet, and vaguely realized their situation.

Mmm... a warm bed~

I don't know which kind person, like a compassionate angel, brought me, a blind man, back.

(ˉ﹃ˉ)

Lying in bed, he stretched languidly and attempted a half-finished hip bridge, trying to shake off the lingering sleepiness.

However, when the man with the black glasses reached out to touch the sunglasses next to him like a blind man touching an elephant, he felt a strange surprise when his hand touched his face!

Xiaxia slowly opened her eyes, only to find her face tightly stuck to a talisman.

The talisman seemed to have a strong adhesive properties, like glue, firmly sticking his face to it, making him unable to move.

The man with the black glasses frowned suspiciously, and the talisman on his forehead trembled playfully.

His voice, slightly hoarse, said knowingly, "Tsk~ There's no such thing as a free lunch. They've got them sealed off!"

╮(?????|||)╭

Wei Wuxian: That was a miscalculation. I should have kept Ah Qi's restless mouth shut. This kind of fixed mindset is no good!

Black Glasses tried to tear the talisman off with his hands, but it seemed to be stuck to his face; no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't remove it.

He frantically scratched his face, only making the talisman more disheveled. His skin stung; he was certain it wasn't glued on!

"Ouch~↗" The unlucky blind man screamed in pain as his hand hit his own fleshy body with too much force.

Finally, I sighed helplessly. If I can't get it off, I'll just stick it on. What else can I do?

Just as he was thinking this, and quite self-assuredly blew on it, a corner of the purifying talisman was blown up and spun around.

(￣y▽￣)~* Cover your mouth and snicker

Having given up struggling, Xiaxia used all her strength to prop herself up and slowly sat up.

The talisman on his face swayed with his movements, as if mocking his disheveled appearance.

Then... with the movement, the talisman floated down like a falling leaf.

...Hahahaha (?w?) Hahahaha...

In the end, it was all a waste of time and effort!

Black Glasses: Such an unscientific thing as a talisman is actually governed by Newton and gravity? Huh? ↗

Even if he jumped into the river, it wouldn't make sense!

↗Even a fool could tell which genius did this?

Pipi Xian: Thank you for the compliment, I am truly honored.

?(?w??)?

Black Glasses picked up the remnants of the purification talisman and examined them; they were just ordinary black...

Even the spiritual light had vanished; the flamboyant, eye-catching blood-red runes and the alien "Yi" of the Yiling Patriarch were gone.

But my intuition tells me that it must have been Wei Wuxian who did it; there's no way anyone else would be so bored!

Mischievous Little Official Baby: Hehe~↗ This time I won by luck. As an accomplice who let things go, I wasn't unjustly suspected. Keep it up!

(?? w ??)

Once outside, the soundproof barrier is gone, and the peace and quiet are lost. All sorts of noises, like moving mountains and breaking ground, come from all directions, making a bit noisy but not harsh.

Perhaps it was fate that brought two baby gyrfalcons together, and Black Glasses and Warm Bamboo became neighbors.

As soon as the man in black glasses turned the corner, he saw Xu Zhulun swinging his arms and bustling about energetically.

As far as the eye can see, the huge workbench is divided into sections with all sorts of materials and tools.

Neatly arranged: bamboo, wood, silk thread, paint, and even needles and thread! ↗

(??? ?? ???)wow!*?

Using these materials, Xuzhu built one little nest after another, purely out of love.

No wonder she has the heart of a tiger, yet she's all muscle, even when she's just sniffing a rose! (Little Bamboo, ah~)

Little Bamboo: Right now they're all in the cub stage and can fend for themselves, so they don't need much care. Of course, they need to be taken care of, very carefully.

Anyway, before Yan Ling and the others dragged me out to work overtime and do some ironwork, I was just idling around anyway. Why waste such precious time sleeping?

????w??????

In front of me is a small nest under construction, its basic shape beginning to take shape. Looking around, there are several completed products, each with its own unique characteristics.

Some of the little nests are woven from bamboo, with finely interwoven bamboo strips forming a simple yet regular pattern—a dream come true for those with obsessive-compulsive tendencies! ↗

Some of the little houses are carved from wood, with animal paw prints carved on them—a particularly vivid way to use them as nameplates! ↗

As for whether or not a fight will break out, that's not something Xuzhu, the zoo director, should worry about. A good leader only focuses on the big picture; everyone's safe and sound.

Even those lacking vitality before the arrival of a new batch of fluffy members will find their space gradually expanding in the near future.

Some of the little love nests are sewn together with silk thread and fabric. Although Xiaozhuzhu's workmanship is a bit rough in this respect, it's best that there are no holes!

But the little ones aren't picky~ They not only provide a comfortable touch for the animals.

Even someone with no experience could tell from looking at this that these little things inside probably wouldn't survive; they're too fragile! ↘

It's worth mentioning that some nests also feature clever wet and dry separation.

Soft and cozy, perfect for pets to rest, play, and eat—this idea of ​​raising furry friends is truly ahead of its time! ↗

(●˙?˙●)???

Xu Zhulun's craftsmanship is truly remarkable. He can not only make small nests from different materials, but also design them according to different needs and styles.

Some of them were painted with similar colors to blend in with the overall environment and maintain uniformity.

After all, it's impossible to pile them all up at Xiaozhuzhu, as that would be detrimental to the ecological cycle and protection of the hidden floating organisms.

Some nests are suitable for birds to live in, some are suitable for squirrels to hide in, and some can be used as decorations to display in the home—that's for personal DIY!

As for the thatched hut that looked like a cowshed in the back, Black Glasses never imagined it was a residential house; he thought it was a spare warehouse!

Xiao Zhuzhu: Why do you all have such a big problem with my family?

After arranging things for the little ones... I'll see how I feel later and change it. ↘

(?????; ≡ ?????;)

So Black Glasses exchanged a polite greeting with his obviously more robust and seemingly unrefined new neighbor.

"Hey bro, you're up early! Need any help?"

Xiao Zhuzhu didn't stop moving when she heard the noise, and pointed with the axe in her hand in reply.

"Good morning, Aqi. I'm wide awake from drinking. I didn't sleep last night. That's the little eagle's thing. I'll come over to your house later and get it installed for the delicate little eagle."

It wasn't that Xuzhu was deliberately overly enthusiastic; she was simply fulfilling her duties as the director of the Hidden Life Zoo from the bottom of her heart.

Since we've already made preparations, it's still a concern if we can't see the finished product at a glance; it's something we can't be too worried about.

"I'm so sorry~ Thanks a lot~"

?▂?

Black Glasses naturally didn't refuse, and following up on the conversation, he took out the remains of the prank he had just played and asked...

"The blind man drank himself into oblivion last night, and you brought me back? What kind of talisman is this?"

"Doing good deeds anonymously, why leave a keepsake for a blind person!"

Xu Zhu glanced at the two monks, who were also completely bewildered, and replied with sincere eyes.

"Dust-purifying talismans, these are everyday necessities that I usually have at home, but I don't have any."

I used it all up before I got back, otherwise the fluffy thing would have thought I was all dirty and wouldn't have been affectionate with me. Ah Qi should have gotten some from someone else.

"And I also spent last night building houses for the little ones, and it's not finished yet. Haven't you brought Aqi back yet?"

(???.???)????
