Through the wind and sand, Yu Xunge left Oasis Town once again.
Every so often, she turned back to wave. B looked back from atop her shoulder. At the town gate, L was tightly hugging the wooden Cat Head, eyes shining as she watched Zai Jiu Xunge's departing figure.
B: "...Sigh."
Whenever Yu Xunge had opened her mouth just now, it had feared L would lose her temper and drag both of them down with her.
Yu Xunge said irritably, "...What?! I get angry the moment I hear you make a sound now!"
B was not afraid in the slightest. "I'm genuinely worried that one day, I'll get struck by lightning alongside you."
Yu Xunge: "Stop demonizing me. I meant every word."
B: "That's what makes it so terrifying!"
If she had told even a single lie, both it and L would have been able to sense it. This was an ability the gods had granted them, so they could work better in the Godly Game instead of being fooled by players like idiots.
Only after L was out of sight did Yu Xunge return to the initial room to check on her potion paints.
When Tulan, who had been diligently stirring the potions, saw her return, her expression immediately relaxed. "You're finally back. No matter how I talked to you, neither of you said anything. I was worried for ages."
B: "You should be worried. She owes too many debts out there. She just went to repay some."
Tulan let out an "Ah," then asked back in a tone that was not particularly surprised, "Which debt?"
"..." Yu Xunge carried Tulan aside. Once seated, she said solemnly, "I'm starting work now. No one is allowed to disturb me."
B: "..." It really wanted L to see her true colors.
