Departing, Destination: Sky Dome City!

A few days after Xingxi received the new armor, at Schicksal Headquarters—

Bang!

Miss Eden, who had been invited for tea, leisurely gazed at the fine wine in her glass. Meanwhile, Fu Hua's Father, furious, slammed the door open with a violent punch. "You told me you were just letting Little Xing be an idol for a while to change her mood, but what have you done?! That shameful behavior... If you don't give me a reasonable explanation today, I won't let you off the hook!"

Fu Hua, enraged, no longer cared about the 50,000-year-old friendship between colleagues. If she continued to indulge him, her daughter might never be able to turn back into a son.

Otto grabbed her ankle tightly. "Calm down, fairy! If you kill her, we'll lose our sugar daddy!"

PS: Otto knows Eden's true identity. Do you think the Void Archives wouldn't recognize Eden after he lost his power?

"Otto, don't stop me! There's an old saying in Shenzhou: 'Women are inherently weak, but become strong when they become mothers.' I'm going to teach her a lesson today!" Enraged, Fu Hua dragged Otto across the floor, leaving a long mark. The Clumsy Goose watching the spectacle just stood by and thought, "Let her fight. It's okay if this perverted bishop abuses her a little more."

I tolerated the dark side of Schicksal; after all, the world needs Schicksal, it needs the bishop. But if he dared to make me wear those kinds of clothes... I'd dare raise the sword of rebellion against the heavens!

Miss Durandal thought to herself.

"Calm down, my friend." Eden took a sip of her drink, pulled out her gleaming gold phone, and scrolled through her chat history with Sachi. "Look, that kid really likes the Magical Girl armor I invested in developing~"

"How could that be? She was incredibly disgusted with her back then!" Fu Hua naturally didn't believe it, while Eden revealed a meaningful smile.

"My friend, there is nothing in this world that wealth cannot do—as long as you can afford the price."

—She gave so much—

In Raven's bar, nestled deep in an alley, the girl clutched the Black Card Eden had sent her a few days earlier in her pocket and mustered the courage to give Natasha her resignation notice: "Sister Natasha, thank you for taking care of me during this time, but I'm sorry, I don't want to keep troubling you. I... want to change my agent."

After he finished speaking, Xing nervously observed her expression, bracing himself for being scolded or reprimanded.

Miss Explosive Raven had been tormented all night, said, "If you're going to leave, hurry up and pack your bags and get out of here. Stop crying."

"Huh?" Xing blinked innocently, her little head filled with big questions.

PS: Memories of being drunk are automatically blocked by the brain, but can be recalled if you actively try to remember them.

Half an hour later—

The girl hugged the Crimson Kite's Wings and rode Guotie painted like a grizzly bear. Pardo, in Canned Food form, and Little Xuan, who was also stuffed into her arms by Fu Hua's Father, were fighting for space with the Crimson Kite's Wings. The chibi version of Ai-chan stood on her shoulder with a mournful face.

Kane, huffing and puffing, was being carried by his partner under the pretext of exercising. Natasha, watching them leave, secretly wiped away a tear and gave a relieved look. "Finally, those two freeloaders Kaslana are gone. From now on, I'll only play with the little one when she's lucid. Hmm, I don't want to stay in Changkong City for another second. To prevent the little one from coming back, I'll go live at the main store in Sky Dome City."

In a cheerful mood, Miss Natasha hummed a song as she began packing her luggage, unaware that her ill-fated relationship was not so easily severed.

—Moving!—

"Luming, where will we live from now on?"

"Anywhere is fine, don't worry, you won't suffer if you come with me." Just as Sachi was feeling relieved that Sakura would no longer have to increase the number of green hats she wore every night, she suddenly remembered that today was still a workday.

"Give me your things first. We need to move, but we also need to keep our work going." With a wave of his hand, Xingyi put his luggage into his storage space and headed to the office.

Then--

Idol Lady stared blankly at the empty office, feeling bewildered along with her pet-like, AFK-ing assistant in the wind.

What happened? Did the boss run away with the money?

Fortunately, she took out her phone to ask Aji for clarification, only to find a whole bunch of missed calls in her contacts. It was probably because she had been too wild while drunk last time and slept too soundly to answer the phone. The last person to answer was probably Fu Hua, but the scene of her transforming into Magical Girl was too shocking, so she probably forgot about it in her anger.

"Hello, is this Aji?"

"Luming!!!"

Aji first berated her mercilessly, and then explained that the firm had moved yesterday to the original address of all employees— Sky Dome City.

"We initially planned to open our firm there, but the land was too expensive. Now that we've made money and have more investments to make, we naturally want to go back. Is it convenient for you there? If not, we can buy you a place to live. I think you agreed when we talked before, do you remember that?"

"Ah, don't worry, I have plenty of money."

Aji and her Brother Dawei became increasingly suspicious that their top idol was some rich young lady who had come out to experience life.

Xing touched Pardo in her arms, shaped her into a human form, and then led the cat out. Kane assumed she was Luming's friend until Xing led them into the high-speed rail station.

"Luming, where are we going?" Kane asked, puzzled, after helping to pack the Guotie into the cage and put them into the cargo hold.

The girl slowly packed the various Armed Doll into her backpack. Little Xuan consciously transformed back into a sphere, Ai-chan transformed into a girl's body, and finally only the expressionless Little Te went into the bag.

Although Little Te didn't say anything, one could see a hint of resentment in her small eyes.

In the end, I hugged him like a doll; if Little Te didn't move, he was no different from a porcelain doll.

"The firm moved to Sky Dome City, so naturally I had to move with them." He explained the reason to Kane, but he was still puzzled as to where the cat had gone and who the heterochromatic-eyed girl who was with them was.

"Oh, my adoptive father's friend."

Pardo, who was dozing off, almost burst out laughing. "Little Xing, what you said is true, but I think we can hear Sister Hua crying."

Note: Fearing that his daughter might encounter danger or inconvenience in her life Fu Hua's Father put Pardo and Little Xuan back together.

Inside the cage Guotie lay down obediently to sleep, while Crimson Kite's Wings perched on her back, wondering why her owner had locked her and Guotie together.

Kane swiped his card to buy tickets for the four of them. Kane seemed very interested and asked a lot of questions about Sky Dome City along the way.

"Luming, isn't that a very famous high-tech city in Shenzhou?"

"Yes, it's the prototype for the VR Yugi Clash Bots, and many famous companies have also started branches there. Moreover, Sky Dome City is also a historical city. Do you know the Taixu Sword School? Sky Peak is a very famous tourist attraction for its disciples. However, I don't know what the Taixu Sword School has become after five hundred years."

"Lu Meng, Lu Meng, I heard at the Tianming headquarters that there is a very magical kung fu and immortal cultivation techniques in Shenzhou. Is that true?"

"It's fake. You have to believe in science. When have you ever seen me use magic?" A descendant of an immortal said this with a straight face, blatantly lying.

Kane looks disappointed. Don't be discouraged, you'll see him later.

Well, he's usually just a very curious young man, a bit of a chuunibyou (a Japanese term for someone with delusions of grandeur), but he's a really nice person. We've been together for so long, and I haven't lost a single piece of my clothing, which is enough to prove he's a good person.

Fox Lady is well aware of how alluring she is to both men and women, which is why she feels genuine admiration for Kane upholds pure love.

After a while--

According to the regulations of Sky Dome City, Guotie was muzzled and collared, and various documents were presented before Xingcai was able to take the pet out of the car. She comforted the panda, who was feeling uncomfortable, and whispered in its ear, "Don't worry, I'll take it off for you in a bit."

As soon as they got off the bus, they were greeted by towering skyscrapers, 3D projections everywhere, and all sorts of pedestrians. While excited and curious, the temporary pair did not forget the main point - where would they sleep tonight?

"Ai-chan, give me directions. I need to go to the largest real estate center in Sky Dome City."

"Okay, miss, would you like a ride online or in person? If you'd like an in-person ride, we're already calling a car for you."

Xing patted the little cabbage's head with satisfaction. "Not bad, I'm very satisfied with your efficiency. I'd be even more satisfied if you could unlock the look of your Ai sometime."

The taxi arrived as soon as the fare was placed. The driver, who had been driving for decades, rolled down the window and glanced at the three women and one man. He glared at Kane with a hint of envy and jealousy, but still adhered to his professional ethics and took them to their destination.

"Ding~ ** yuan Bungfu Pay account."

Pardo and Ai-chan followed behind Xing. Kane, who was at the back, cautiously scanned the surroundings, worried that some fool might dare to attack Luming, just like in Changkong City. But he quickly realized he was wrong.

Luming took out a Black Card from her small bag. The receptionist, who had been somewhat nonchalant, immediately snapped to attention and called the manager, who then called the general manager, who then called the general manager... In the end, the chairman himself had to step in, otherwise no one would dare to take the order.

Because that card is only available to the Golden Consortium, and judging from the pattern, its level was probably bestowed by Miss Ende herself. The implications of that are self-evident.

As for counterfeiting and theft? No one dares to offend the Golden Consortium; who would turn down money?

In the most luxurious VIP reception room, the chairman's old eyes beamed with joy, his forehead wrinkles deepened, and he tried his best to put on a smile. "Hello, Luming Lady, these are the best houses in Sky Dome City. Is there any that you like?"

"Tsk, it's too noisy near the city center. Is there a quieter place?" Xing finally regained the thrill of throwing money around that she felt almost a hundred chapters ago. Pardo leaned back comfortably on the sofa, Ai-chan's eyes sparkling. Only the clueless Kane was a little confused.

What's going on? Is Luming really that rich? I'd heard that housing prices in Sky Dome City were expensive, and it turns out it's true. Even if I became the clan leader, I'd have to write a report on those prices, and Luming didn't even flinch. She must have been a rich heiress before...

In a general theoretical sense, Kane was right.

"A residential area? It's much quieter, without the city lights and noise, but I don't like living in crowded places. Are there any more secluded areas?"

After all, they're idols.

"Hmm, this one's not bad. There's a bar nearby that's never open? Never mind, next one."

"Tsk, it can't be too remote either!"

"Hmm, there's some greenery at the back, it's close to the mountains and water, there aren't many neighbors, the environment is nice, and the house needs to be big enough. Do you have any that fit the criteria?" The girl, who had flipped through the whole book but couldn't find a house she liked, threw the booklet at him in frustration, raising her voice several octaves.

The man was terrified and quickly replied, "Yes, yes, yes!"

He rummaged through the cabinet for a while and finally took out a picture and handed it to Xing. After looking at it for a few moments, the girl's slightly furrowed brows finally relaxed. "Not bad. Although it's in the suburbs outside of Sky Dome City, I like it very much. This is it!"

Kane peeked out from behind the sofa and said, "Luming, this is practically a small manor, isn't it? Isn't it a bit too big for the few of us?"

"Then you can go out, I'll give you money to rent a place."

What, you have a problem with living with a beautiful girl?

Kane wisely kept quiet, but the observant Kane noticed that the chairman's expression did not relax. On the contrary, he looked at the extremely satisfied Xing with unease, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Sachi also noticed the unusual situation and looked up at him with a puzzled expression. "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

"There is a problem. The house you've been looking at hasn't actually been sold..." The chairman lowered his head guiltily. "Although we've been sending people to negotiate with the housekeeper, he just won't agree..."

"Huh? Are you kidding us?" Pardo bared her teeth in annoyance. That house was obviously a place where you could comfortably sunbathe and take a nap at noon, and it wasn't something you could buy?

Fortunately, she wasn't angry. Instead, she seized on the key word in his words, "Butler? Is there anything special about that house?"

The chairman thought for a moment and then told everyone the story behind it.

The original owner of this place was a very famous wealthy man in Sky Dome City. He was a successful businessman with a thriving business, and he preferred tranquility, so he spent money to build a large villa on the outskirts of Sky Dome City.

Although it's called a villa, its location nestled against the mountains and by the water makes it more like a small estate.

Furthermore, the wealthy individual is very enthusiastic about philanthropy and has donated huge sums of money on numerous occasions.

His life was smooth sailing, without any major ups and downs, and he died peacefully in his bed in his later years without any regrets.

However, there were some regrets. He never married or had children, and he had few relatives. According to his will, most of his estate was donated to charity, but the remainder, including this villa, was left to the butler who had been with him for many years.

It's said that the butler had a strange and volatile temper. Someone saw the area's tourism potential and wanted to demolish the villa to build a scenic area. They sent someone to negotiate with the butler, and then...

They were both beaten into the ICU by the housekeeper.

After hearing the story, Kane said weakly to his partner, "Um, Luming, let's change it. It's better not to make things difficult for ordinary people."

Fortunately, she didn't answer him. Instead, she looked at the aerial photo of the villa and a series of other photos for a long time, a smile of interest appearing on her lips.

"Interesting. Let's go take a look."

"Huh?"

After they left, the man breathed a sigh of relief, his tense nerves relaxing. While tidying up the documents, he accidentally left one behind.

The photograph of the main entrance of that special villa fell to the ground, clearly showing what was being photographed. On the relief of the gate, ten uniquely styled patterns surrounded a large crystal flower relief, forming a peculiar design.

Strangely, counting from the right of the topmost greatsword pattern, there is a gap between the second and third patterns, and also between the eighth and ninth patterns.

Could it be that there were originally 12 elements that made up the circle, but the sculptor for some reason omitted the third and tenth elements? How curious!

Author's Note—

Are you ready? The Sky Dome City arc is about to begin, and new surviving Flame-Chasers are about to make their appearance!

Regarding the surviving Flame-Chasers: He has confused memories and lost a significant portion of his power.

A few days ago, after 88 pulls, I finally got the Finality. Luck and bad luck really are conserved...

I couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, so I thought I'd just get up and write a chapter.
