Cat Fishing

All of this was witnessed by Gan Tian and Tang Pin outside the door. Tang Pin stared in shock, her eyes widening as she met the gaze of the angel trapped inside the door, who looked utterly helpless.

Gan Tian burst into laughter without any restraint, walked over, pointed at Lai'er, and mocked, "I told you to cut off your wings, but you wouldn't believe me! You've been stuck so many times, and you still don't learn anything!"

Lai'er calmly folded her wings completely, and Lai'er An Ying stepped forward to help push her out.

The False Angel spread her wings again, shook them to tidy her disheveled feathers. "My lord loves my wings, little girl, you don't have any."

Gan Tian bristled. "You stinky bird who can't fly, what did you say?!"

Lai'er smiled smugly, "Little brat, I'm telling you, my lord likes me more than you."

Gan Tian stomped her foot angrily. "You're talking nonsense! You're talking nonsense!!"

I'm going to pluck your bird wings!

Tao Yuan and An Ying quickly broke up the fight, while Tang Pin watched with great interest.

Tao Yuan gently pulled Gan Tian along and said softly, "No way, Gan Tian is so cute, who wouldn't like her?"

An Ying, holding onto the angel's large wings, softened her voice despite her stiff expression. "The feathers on your wings are all messed up. Go outside and get some fresh air to fix them, or they won't look good!"

Stop fighting! They want to look around, not watch you fight!

Hearing Tao Yuan's words, Gan Tian nodded in agreement and straightened her clothes. "Yes, I'm so cute, the Shopkeeper will definitely only like me!"

Lai'er thoughtfully stroked the feathers on his back. "Is it really a mess?"

Why don't we wait for the Master to come back and comb it?

Seeing that their coaxing had worked, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, a Puppet slowly rose up beside the sofa. "The Master said that he has the highest hopes for Modian."

One sentence, and three people were killed.

An Ying and Tao Yuan exchanged a desperate look. "Should we leave on our own?"

Tang Pin agreed, "I think it's a good idea."

Where will we end up if we keep walking like this?

Mi Chuchu and Luo Jiayu wandered aimlessly into the woods, heading in the direction where Flower Language had been sitting by the pond.

Luo Jiayu's abilities come from water, and she can also sense water. After discussing it, they followed her senses and walked forward.

"Perhaps we'll end up at a riverbank? Or a stream, a lake, or something like that."

At first, the ground beneath their feet was white, and the surrounding plants were also white. From a distance, the overwhelming whiteness didn't feel unpleasant; instead, it made them feel relaxed and comfortable.

Until they discovered a water source, a stream that meandered up the mountains.

The stream is narrow, and the water is crystal clear.

The two men held their heads high, gazing in awe at the small section of the mountain range before them.

If they remembered correctly, they weren't in some desolate wilderness, but inside a temple, right? How come there were mountains inside a temple?

The ground beneath their feet was still white, while just a few dozen meters ahead was black earth, covered with black Crystals, Crystal with some red branches and leaves.

As the stream meanders to the black soil, the underwater world is also filled with black crystals, which shimmer and sparkle in the sunlight and clear water.

"This place is clearly divided into two areas, like the legendary light and darkness. I wonder if it has anything to do with the organization's name, Judgment Office." Mi Chuchu walked to the boundary between darkness and light and reached out to sense it carefully.

The black soil area had more and more volatile energy, which felt to her like... the volatile energy in Instance.

The energy in white soil areas is gentle, and the temperature and air quality are very suitable for human habitation and rest.

Luo Jiayu stepped onto the black earth and exclaimed in surprise, "I had some doubts when we were in the white area, but I wasn't sure. Now I can say with certainty that this isn't Instance; this is a complete world."

"Everything in the Weird Instance is made of energy, including water. But the water here isn't; it feels exactly like the water I felt on Blue Star."

Mi Chuchu's first reaction was disbelief. "Such a huge... world? That's too exaggerated!"

"Indeed unbelievable."

Luo Jiayu said wistfully, "If there really is such a world, without any strange invasions, wouldn't we have a way out?"

Mi Chuchu shook her head. "But this place doesn't seem suitable for ordinary people to live in, and we don't even know how big this world is. Besides, will the organization help us?"

Luo Jiayu waved her hand. "That's not what I meant. If they can find another world, then can't we too?"

"Although I don't know the ins and outs, a world... it doesn't seem like something you can easily obtain, does it?" Mi Chuchu shrugged.

"That's true—" Luo Jiayu murmured to herself, "Who knows? I was just saying. If the day really comes when we have to abandon Blue Star, I won't be the first to leave."

"Isn't it a good thing that there's another world, a place for others to belong?"

Mi Chuchu took the lead and walked up the mountain along the stream, saying as she went, "Yes, how much longer can Blue Star hold on?"

Luo Jiayu quickly followed, laughing, "Perhaps we're thinking too soon. Blue Star will definitely last for many more years."

Following the stream forward, the ground beneath our feet became slightly damp, and more and more clusters of red and black Crystals appeared along the roadside.

The two of them also squatted down to examine it out of curiosity, but found nothing. So they scanned the data of the thing and uploaded it back to Blue Star before continuing upstream along the stream.

After walking for a while, Mi Chuchu suddenly realized that she hadn't seen a single animal here, not even a single flying insect.

"There are even fish here!" Luo Jiayu exclaimed in surprise as she squatted by the water.

Mi Chuchu leaned closer and discovered that a small silver fish was growing inside the black crystal through the flowing water.

The scales on the little fish shimmered silver in the sunlight, making it exceptionally beautiful in the water, like a work of art.

It seemed to sense their gaze, and with a flick of its tail, it disappeared into the water.

"No, it's gone?" Luo Jiayu rubbed her eyes; it really was gone.

Mi Chuchu looked upstream. "Perhaps there is something here, we just can't see it. We need to speed up, we can't stay away for too long, we'll have to go back soon."

Luo Jiayu stood up. "Okay."

The two quickened their pace, and this time they reached the upstream area in no time.

Upstream, there is a small waterfall that flows slowly down the black rocks. Below the waterfall, small silver fish swim happily in the water.

Mi Chuchu and Luo Jiayu slowly stopped, their gazes falling on the peculiar boy by the water.

The boy had his back to them, wearing a black and red windbreaker, and it was clear at a glance that he was a member of the organization's First Faction.

Their gazes fell on the boy's fluffy black cat ears and his thin, slowly swaying cat tail.

The cat's tail behind the boy was dangling its pointed tip in the water, swaying back and forth and creating ripples on the surface. Was it perhaps... fishing?

As she watched, Luo Jiayu suddenly felt a chill run through her body, a tingling coldness spreading through the back of her neck, and an extreme sense of crisis permeated her entire being.

She quickly took a step back, shrinking herself completely behind Mi Chuchu, only peeking out with half her head to peek at the water's edge.

"How?"

Luo Jiayu dared not speak, but shook her head vigorously. She felt a sense of "natural enemy" from this boy.
