Annoying Things Always Erupted in Clusters

For Bai Zhi, this morning was quite dangerous.

After all, if he's not careful, he could be taken to the police station without even needing any evidence.

However, he didn't expect that while he had avoided one potential prison sentence, another danger was about to befall him.

--The source of danger is Dead Zero.

That's right, she got up early today and went to the kitchen to make breakfast... Just as he was yawning and walking downstairs, the Dead Zero, wearing an apron around his waist, came out of the kitchen.

Bai Zhi was referring to the fact that the other person had been looking at a cookbook the whole time yesterday...

Under the slightly expectant gaze of the Young Girl in front of him, Bai Zhi found it hard to refuse and forced himself to eat a bowl of noodles... After all, it would be too hurtful for him to insist on going out to buy breakfast when she got up early to make it.

And you know what? The other person's cooking skills had clearly improved compared to last time. After finishing a bowl of noodles, Bai Zhi, who hadn't slept all night and was incredibly sleepy, was suddenly wide awake...

--A truly "energizing" TISEN MIAN.

You still owe me a cell phone.

Shifting his gaze from the empty bowl, the Dead Zero spoke earnestly.

"Uh... you didn't mention it yesterday, I'd completely forgotten..."

After thinking for a moment, Bai Zhi picked up his phone.

"How about this, you decide what model of phone you like, and I'll order one for you online. Online shopping is fast; it should arrive in about two or three days."

"... I have many important contacts on my phone, and not having my phone for two or three days would seriously disrupt my work."

After a moment of silence, the Dead Zero turned his head to look to the side.

"If I could, I would like to..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Bai Zhi's phone suddenly rang; an unknown number was calling.

"Wait a moment, I need to take this call."

Bai Zhi waved his hand and pressed the answer button.

Then, immediately after the call connected, a slightly hurried voice came from the other end of the line.

"The situation is urgent, let's cut to the chase. I am Zhuge Yun. Is He Zhiqiū with you?"

"What's up."

Because Bai Zhi had casually turned on speakerphone, before he could reply, the Dead Zero, sitting on the other side of the table, asked with a slightly cold expression.

"Phew... I finally found you. I just called Mo Xiao, but you didn't come home all night..."

Seemingly relieved, Zhuge Yun began to speak very quickly.

"Something's happened again at [Noah's Ark], and we desperately need someone to keep things under control. I can't leave here for the time being. When can you get there?"

"... Ten minutes."

After a moment of silence, the Dead Zero calmly gave his answer.

"Uh... there's no need to rush. Getting there within an hour is fine. The situation over there is still barely stable."

Seemingly sensing a hint of emotion in the Young Girl's words, Zhuge Yun coughed slightly a few times.

"It's so early, you two probably aren't up yet, right? I'm sorry, I didn't mean to disturb your time together, but the [Noah's Ark] matter is just too complicated... But young people should be more moderate in those kinds of things. I have some tonics here, Bai Zhi, you can come and get them when you have time, they're very Special Effect. You two continue, I'll hang up now."

After finishing his monologue, Zhuge Yun tactfully hung up the phone.

Bai Zhi: "..."

... I guess I should find a chance to put this guy in Sack and beat him up sometime in the future.

"Can I borrow your car?"

The Dead Zero, didn't seem to sense anything amiss, or rather, there were some things she simply couldn't understand. As she untied the apron from her waist and draped it over the armrest of the chair, she looked toward Bai Zhi.

"It's very difficult to get a taxi here in the morning."

"... These are the Car Key."

With a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth, Bai Zhi placed a bunch of Key on the table and pushed it over.

"If you need any help, please don't hesitate to ask."

As the other driver drove away, Bai Zhi looked at the remaining pot of noodles in the pot and was puzzled.

This pot of noodles, which he called "TISEN MIAN," was somewhere between delicious and inedible, falling into the category of very inedible. If Tian Huo were here, this pot of noodles wouldn't be a problem, but the problem is that he's not.

Adhering to the principle that food should not be wasted, Bai Zhi tried to process the remaining pot of noodles, successfully upgrading its Level.

--It went from being "very unpalatable" to "extremely unpalatable".

"Let's keep it until Tian Huo comes back and see if she'll eat it. If she doesn't eat it either, then we'll feed it to the dogs..."

With a look of utter dismay, Bai Zhi put down his Chopsticks and covered the pot with a complicated expression.

At times like these, he misses Night Owl even more...

Just as he was pondering whether to eat instant noodles for breakfast or go out to buy some, Qingyi and Anna, having finished washing up, came downstairs together.

"His Prince Your Highness for Anna himself?"

The Blonde Loli's eyes lit up the moment she saw him standing in front of the stove in the kitchen.

"It's for everyone's sake."

Turning her head to look at Anna beside her, Qingyi corrected Anna's grammatical error with considerable dissatisfaction.

Bai Zhi: "..."

Five minutes later, at the dining table, two little girls, facing the incredibly unpalatable noodles that Bai Zhi had specially prepared and upgraded... died one after another.

"You're going to the Shadow World now?"

Bai Zhi raised an eyebrow slightly as he looked at the two little girls in front of him eating the breakfast he had just bought.

"Yeah, it's better to deal with that kind of thing sooner rather than later."

Qingyi nodded.

"You can't go to that place because the conditions are too harsh; humans simply cannot survive there... It will probably take about two or three days."

Are you confident?

Hearing the other person's words, Bai Zhi couldn't help but frown.

"If you're really not confident, I have other methods; there's no need to take too many risks."

"Yes, as long as Anna stays by Prince Your Highness's side, that's fine."

Anna raised her hand at the opportune moment.

"As long as I'm with His Your Highness the Prince all the time, then..."

"Don't worry, I'm very confident."

Her face darkened slightly, and Qingyi decisively interrupted Anna.

"Just wait for my good news."

"That's fine, but don't push yourself too hard."

After a moment's thought, Bai Zhi nodded.

"But remember this, no matter what, you must..."

As if everything was about to happen at once, before Bai Zhi could finish his sentence, Xia Wen's rather hurried voice came from the stairs.

"Bai Zhi, something terrible has happened!!"
