The mascot of the wishing shop is a cat.

After An Qing took Earl to take a bath, the entire living room fell silent, leaving only Moros and Lin Xiyue.

Lin Xiyue sat on the carpet tidying up her things, and also laid out the gifts that Lingjiu had given her, while Molos squatted on a high place, staring at Lin Xiyue.

"Ugh, what are all these? Besides snacks, why are there so many sex toys? Wait, don't they know I'm a girl? Why would someone give me this?! Flying cups!!! That's way too enthusiastic!!! Luckily, I called Xiao Qingkong away to give Earl a bath. If she had seen this, she might have even known! I'd rather find a crack in the ground to crawl into!!! ?(????w????)?"

As Lin Xiyue looked at the gift, she kept complaining. She felt that the person who sent it had put a lot of thought into it, sending something they liked. However, it seemed that they didn't know whether she was male or female. Also, since the recovery card could be used in a region, a large number of people had never seen her before, which was why they sent so many random things.

"Huh? What is this?"

Lin Xiyue was already used to opening all sorts of things from this large "treasure bag," but she had never seen anything like this before.

Lin Xiyue took out something from the bag that was wrapped in a transparent sphere. Inside was a crystal, which looked like two different crystals forcibly joined together. One half was a dark crystal, which appeared to be only a small piece, while the other half was a deep blue crystal.

The junction of the two crystals has a silvery sheen. The substance looks like mercury, but it probably isn't, because this substance forcibly links the two crystals together. Notice how the shimmering light is there, which is meant to prevent the two crystals from separating.

"This thing is very strange. It doesn't look like jewelry or any kind of decoration."

Lin Xiyue held the ball and examined it for a long time, but couldn't see anything wrong with it. Even calling it a decorative item was a stretch, because it couldn't even be placed stably on a flat surface.

"Hmm... let's open it and take a look."

Lin Xiyue thought for a long time but still couldn't figure out what it was, so she decided to open it and take a look.

"!moon--"

The moment it opened, the forcibly combined crystal exploded in front of Lin Xiyue, who was immediately swallowed by the blue-black light. In the instant she was swallowed, Lin Xiyue vaguely heard Moros calling her, but she could no longer see it.

After the light faded, Lin Xiyue was no longer in the reception room, leaving only a floor covered in dark blue fragments, scattered like mercury on the surrounding carpet. The box, however, lay intact on the carpet, appearing to be made of a very special material.

Finally, only a small piece of dark crystal remained suspended in mid-air.

The moment Lin Xiyue opened the box, Meros sensed something was wrong. He didn't even bother to pretend and shouted out, but it was too late.

The moment Meros pounced down from the cabinet, Lin Xiyue had already vanished, leaving only a mess on the floor.

Upon seeing this, the black shadow beside Meros instantly expanded, first enveloping the entire wishing shop. After discovering that it could only faintly detect Lin Xiyue's remaining aura, the shadow transformed into a giant black cat, its previously closed eyes opening.

The moment those emerald green eyes opened, the entire sky turned into a suffocating black. Apart from the lamplight, there was no light at all; even the electric light could only illuminate a small area right in front of us.

At that moment, the entire town felt an immense sense of oppression. Some people saw the giant black cat in the sky and thought it was the end of the world. They ran out, knelt on the ground, and began to pray to the gods and Buddhas, begging for forgiveness.

At the same time, the nests in the inner space also rioted. Centered on the wishing shop, the closer to the wishing shop, the denser the riots became, and many spatial rifts appeared. The tentacles of the nests also began to reach into the real world through the spatial rifts, trying to catch any trace of Lin Xiyue's presence.

When he felt this pressure, Earl made Anqing, who had just bathed him, faint, then turned into human form and placed the child in the child's room.

"What happened? Why are you so angry?"

Erguang stood at the top of the stairs looking down at Meros; he really didn't dare to go down.

The area below wasn't reduced to ruins and remained intact, but there were countless visible spatial cracks within the space, and there were probably many more that were invisible.

Under these circumstances, no matter how brave Earl is, he wouldn't dare to go down.

"Hey, calm down! Melos, Brother Melos! What on earth happened?!"

Earl could only stand at the top of the stairs and shout at Meros.

"It's gone! It just disappeared right under my nose!"

Meros muttered incantations as if possessed, and a black light and shadow shrouded his body. After a while, the black light and shadow receded, and Meros revealed his human form.

"Brother Mo! Calm down! Let's find out why Lin Xiyue is missing!"

Earl stood at the top of the stairs and called out.

"Well, indeed. This thing is really interesting."

Upon hearing Lin Xiyue's name, Moros calmed down slightly and then noticed the blue crystal that had fallen to the ground and the black, suspended crystal.

He first stretched out both hands, grasping a crystal in each. The black crystal was clearly his own power, instantly merging into his body, while the other blue crystal was clearly repelled by Meros, frantically trying to escape from his hand, but because its power was too weak, it was completely controlled.

"Hmm, the energy in this thing feels kind of familiar."

Seeing that Meros had calmed down and that the strangeness around him had at least disappeared on the surface, Earl came down. When he saw the crystal bound in Meros's hand, he couldn't help but blurt out.

"Of course it looks familiar, huh? This is that brat Fei Bo's power crystal. He actually sacrificed his own power to set a trap for me?"

When Meros heard Earl say that, he laughed in anger.

"What's he after? What good would it do him to drive you crazy?"

Earl truly didn't understand. Meros was the strongest of their race right now, and was only temporarily weakened because of what happened ten years ago, but that was no reason for him to provoke Meros.

"He's not that brainless. He took a piece of my power to protect Yue. If I hadn't discovered that, I probably would have already gone back to fight."

Meros had completely calmed down and gave Earl an explanation.

"That……"
