The next morning, Su Xiao was awakened by the alarm. He looked somewhat dazed, unsure where the alarm had come from.
A fluffy cat paw reached out from beside the bed and smacked the alarm with a slap. Beni, in cat form, yawned, sleepily picked up her toiletries, and walked toward the bathroom.
"Woof."
Bubu Wang was awakened as well. As an unemployed freeloader, he slept until he naturally woke every day, so being roused by an alarm left him rather depressed. Amu, meanwhile, snored evenly. Forget an alarm—even if a shell landed nearby, he might not wake up.
Su Xiao glanced at the time, then at the dozens of unread messages. After washing up, he left and headed straight for the God Emperor Adventurer Team's headquarters.
After wandering around the Reincarnation Paradise several times, Su Xiao entered a relatively quiet district. The God Emperor Adventurer Team's headquarters was somewhere nearby, and he eventually stopped in front of a three-story building.
As soon as Su Xiao arrived, he noticed someone sitting against the wall in front of the door, covered with a blanket and looking very much like a vagrant. Taking a closer look, he realized it was Frenzied Fox.
"Frenzied Fox, wake up."
Su Xiao nudged Frenzied Fox with his foot. Frenzied Fox jolted awake and sat up straight. When he saw Su Xiao, his gaze turned exceptionally fervent. The same Su Xiao who had never taken a step back while fighting the Uncrowned Lord now took two steps back.
"You're finally here. That little grandaunt in our Adventurer Team started kicking down the door at three in the morning."
"..."
Su Xiao said nothing. Frenzied Fox's acting was mediocre; he had failed to capture the essence of a tragic performance.
Seeing Su Xiao's expression, Frenzied Fox's face twitched.
