Wenxi's home.

Fei Lian and Yao Zhen sat on the sofa watching TV and eating the snacks Yan Xi had bought the night before, looking very relaxed.

"Hey, you're back pretty early today?" Fei Lian saw Yan Xi, subconsciously checked the time, then looked at Yan Xi's hand, and said with some surprise.

"You came back early after you finished your business." Mo Ran rolled her eyes, took a few snacks from Fei Lian's snack bag and stuffed them into her mouth.

"Hey, go to Wenxi's school." Yan Xi suddenly remembered that Wenxi seemed to be pretending to be unconscious when she left, so she kicked Fei Lian's leg with her toe and said.

"What... are you doing?" Fei Lian subconsciously wanted to scold her, but when she glanced at the snacks in her hand, she swallowed it back.

He was obliged because he felt indebted to the person who fed him, so he tolerated it.

“Wenxi is a little inconvenient right now. Why don’t you go to the rooftop of her school and pick her up? We’ll have hot pot together.”

"What's wrong?" Yaozhen asked, frowning as she recalled Wenqian's light imprint.

"It's nothing, just a little pinch," Yan Xi said, raising her right hand and gesturing with her fingers together. "It was a minor accident, but it's been resolved."

"What does this have to do with me?" Fei Lian leaned back on the sofa, adopting a "I'm not doing this" attitude.

“You…” Yaozhen turned to look at him.

"Okay, I'll go." Fei Lian sighed, put down the snacks, stood up, and turned to walk out the door.

Mo Ran watched the blue-haired man's retreating figure, then turned to look at Yao Zhen, his eyes shining with a gossipy expression.

"...Idiot, you go with me and check the surveillance footage." Looking at Fei Lian's unreliable back, Yan Xi, still worried, sent the idiot out as well.

"Okay, I guarantee I'll complete the mission." The idiot replied and followed Fei Lian away.

When Fei Lian brought Wen Qian back, Yan Xi had already prepared the ingredients. She sat on the rooftop, watching the bubbling red oil and swallowing her saliva.

Seeing Wenxi sit down, she even called the fool out to greet Wenxi.

At this moment, Mo Ran placed a large bowl of vegetables on the table. Several people put vegetables into the pot, chatted for a while, and then began to eat in a lively atmosphere. Yan Xi and Chun Dan were both pure freeloaders, and they almost buried their heads in their bowls. Mo Ran rolled her eyes and reminded them to be mindful of their image, unaware that her own image was not much better.

After finishing their hotpot, while the others cleaned up the dishes, Yan Xi and Wen Qian sat on the rooftop chatting, made a friend, and even turned off all the city lights just to look at the stars.

If people find out, they'll probably scold her terribly.

After looking at the stars for a while, Yan Xi gave Wen Qian a fox pendant so that she would know immediately if anything happened to Wen Qian, even though she might not be able to get there in time.

She also placed a protective spell on the pendant, which could save her life in a critical moment.

I just hope this little girl will be careful. Even though she's the main character, her future... is fraught with difficulties...

Wenxi accepted the pendant, knowing that Yanxi was leaving. She didn't say anything, just said goodbye.

After the dishes were all cleared away, Yan Xi said goodbye to Wen Qian and then led the fool and Mo Ran through the black hole back to the parallel world.

⊙∞⊙

parallel world.

After Yan Xi emerged from the black hole, the black hole rapidly contracted and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Yan Xi rolled her eyes. At this speed, what, was she going to go through it again?

Looking up at the surroundings, it was incredibly familiar; it was still that deserted alley.

There's no one to help you, and no one to get things done.

Yan Xi pulled the tattered bag out of her spatial storage. The pheasant system had stopped struggling and was now listlessly curled up in a ball, hugging its legs.

Waaah, bad people, they're all bad people.

Yan Xi tossed the cloth bag into her system space and said, "[Idiot, it's yours now.]"

The idiot looked at the ugly dwarf rolling out of the bag, frowned, and grabbed its hair with a disgusted expression, dragging it deeper into the space. Its back view looked quite comical.

As she walked away, she complained, "Could you please use a clean bag next time you throw things in? I have to clean again!"

“Ugly things don’t deserve my good bags,” Yan Xi said, grabbing Mo Ran and activating the teleportation array. “I can provide you with a cleansing talisman to ensure your space is spotless.”

After she finished speaking, the space in front of Yan Xi distorted for a moment, and when it returned to normal, she was already in the familiar living room of the villa.

The idiot had by then reached the deepest part of its system space and pushed open a dark door.

"Oh, right, wait a minute, you idiot."

Just as the idiot was about to step through the door, Yan Xi called out to it.

"What's wrong?" the idiot stopped and turned around to ask.

"I picked these out before, but forgot to give them to you." Yan Xi rummaged in her pocket for a while, then pulled out four strange little balls and used her mental power to control them, sending them to the idiot's hands.

"Alright, let's go. Remember to come out early."

"Hmm." The idiot raised an eyebrow, glanced at the little ball, nodded with a smile, then composed himself, grabbed the dwarf's hair, and walked into the room. With a slight movement of his fingers, the door slammed shut.

Unable to detect any trace of the idiot, Yan Xi pulled out a few more band-aids from her pocket, turned to look at Mo Ran, and saw the utter despair on each of their faces.

Damn it! This is so frustrating!

Half an hour later...

Yan Xi sat on the sofa with a pale face, feeling... not just feeling, but feeling completely drained.

Mo Ran wasn't much better off; he was sprawled on the sofa, staring blankly at the ceiling, not even wanting to move a finger.

"Let's go to sleep." Yan Xi said, standing up shakily, putting Mo Ran on her shoulder, and yawning several times.

Wiping away the tears that welled up in her eyes, Yan Xi walked towards the stairs, where Mo Ran sat on her shoulder and dozed off.

However, there are always so many unexpected events.

The doorbell rang the instant Yan Xi stepped onto the stairs.

Yan Xi: ...I************

(I'm so happy!)

"Tell me, where are you from?"

The man was tall and dressed in a black suit. He sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, holding a glass of blood-red wine. He exuded elegance.

What's most striking is his face; its sharp features make it look like a meticulously sculpted work of art. But that face is familiar…

An enlarged version of an idiot.

Opposite him was a wall. The wall was dirty, patchy with red and black, and in some places several layers of black plaster had formed, showing signs of peeling off. It also smelled of rust.

An ugly dwarf was fixed to the wall, its limbs spread wide and suspended in the air by four iron chains, its body trembling incessantly.

It's scary.

Because on the walls on both sides hung several rows of neatly arranged instruments of torture, some of which were still dripping bright red blood.

"You...you're breaking the rules! The Time and Space Administration forbids, forbids, the system from privately setting up, setting up prisons! The Inspectors won't let you get away with this!!!" The dwarf trembled all over, his shrill voice splitting into two, extremely grating.

“The Inspector… Ha!” The man laughed, swirling the wine glass in his hand, as if he had heard a funny joke.

The dwarf instinctively felt fear. His lips moved, but he felt as if something was blocking his throat, and he couldn't make a sound.

The man laughed for a while, swirling his wine glass. The scarlet liquid caught the dwarf's attention, making it even more flustered.

The man snapped his fingers, the crisp sound echoing in the enclosed space, causing the dwarf to flinch.

With a clatter, two iron chains dropped a red object from beside the dwarf. The dwarf instinctively turned his head, and after seeing what it was, his eyes widened. When he looked at the man again, the fear in his eyes was almost overflowing.

The man chuckled, took a sip of red wine, and said in a deep, pleasant voice, "Look, there's the last busybody over there."
