Huohuo: Big Sister, Are You Like Me Too?

The Origami Bird doll was very small, only about the size of a palm, and very cute, but Fu Xuan felt it didn't quite suit him.

"Try plucking those three tufts of hair on its head."

Lin Shuang looked at Fu Xuan holding the pink Origami Bird and thought it was perfect for him.

He wanted to take out his phone to take a picture, but Fu Xuan arrested him on the spot as soon as he took out his phone.

Fu Xuan glared at Lin Shuang, feeling both helpless and amused. This person knew he had Eye of the Law, so why would she think of secretly taking pictures of him?

Will this film be successful?

After seeing Lin Shuang put away her phone with an embarrassed smile, Fu Xuan raised his fingers, pinched the feather on the head of the Origami Bird, and gently tugged it.

"Chirp chirp--"

The Origami Bird suddenly chirped and flapped its Wings a few times before flying away from Fu Xuan's hand.

Then it chirped and circled in mid-air before landing back down.

"... It's so noisy."

Fu Xuan's first reaction was that the Origami Bird chirping around people was noisy. But Lin Shuang didn't like it.

Don't you think it's cute?

"..."

Fu Xuan really wanted to say that this little toy was a bit childish.

But seeing Lin Shuang enthusiastically pluck another feather, making the Origami Bird fly around again.

He swallowed those words back.

Never mind.

After all, I'm older, so I should be more understanding of the children.

Fu Xuan thought to himself, and sighed softly:

"So cute! I'll accept your gift. Thank you for remembering me."

Lin Shuang didn't mind Fu Xuan's reaction; as long as he didn't dislike her, it was fine.

It was originally just a little gadget to be placed on the table.

After leaving the Divination Department, Lin Shuang went to the Side Gate and found Qingque was guarding the main gate.

"Hey buddy, what brings you here? I've been trying to get you to play cards these past few days, but you've been so busy."

Qingque is currently playing cards online with some friends.

Upon seeing Lin Shuang emerge from the Divination Department, he immediately greeted her with a smile.

"Sorry, I recently went on a long trip and haven't had much time to play cards."

Firefly wasn't very interested in Emperor's Jade, so Lin Shuang didn't drag her into playing cards. As a result, Qingque had been neglected these past few days.

Thinking this, Lin Shuang walked over, then took out another blue Origami Bird from her Portable Space and handed it over.

I brought you a small gift.

"Wow, where did you go for fun?"

Qingque showed more interest in Origami Bird than Fu Xuan; she seemed to prefer cute things.

"I also brought one of those Origami Bird from Penacony Fu Xuan, but Grand Tutor thinks it's a bit childish."

Hey~

Qingque opened the box and quickly found the mechanism.

Watching the origami Origami Bird and fly around once, Qingque patted Lin Shuang on the shoulder with satisfaction:

"The Lord Diviner may find it childish, but it's just right for me. Thank you!"

"I'm glad you like it."

"Hey, Penacony fun? I've never been there before."

Qingque played with the Origami Bird, then, holding Lin Shuang's arm, inquired about Penacony.

"It's fun! Because it's in a dream, you can find all sorts of exciting activities. If you have some free time, why don't you take a day off and go check it out? I have an Invitation to the Charmony Festival; I can take you in for free."

Lin Shuang's Invitation can also bring people along. Acheron might be checking in as a Galaxy Ranger, so it might not be necessary.

Even including Acheron, there are still spots left.

If Qingque wants to go out and have fun, it's no problem as long as she can get time off.

"Really?!"

Qingque's eyes lit up immediately.

Penacony is renowned worldwide, but its exorbitant prices are also infamous.

As a mere fortune teller, Qingque could not afford such exorbitant expenses.

"Of course, it all depends on whether you can get time off."

"Hmm... I'll need to think of a good reason to ask for leave."

Seeing this, Lin Shuang left Divination Department Qingque, who was caught in a dilemma, and went to the Divination Department alone.

Although this time I successfully met General Jing Yuan.

However, Jing Yuan's answer was not much different from Fu Xuan's. Although the information was supplemented, it did not touch on the key parts.

Although Imbibitor Lunae, as the Dragon Lord, can see many Remembrance, those Remembrance are fragmented.

Therefore, Jing Yuan also knew very little about the Permanence.

While the Vidyadhara Dragon Lord is a good choice for understanding the Permanence, unfortunately, the Sushang of Luofu currently lacks Dragon Lord.

Given the cunning of those people like Dragon Master, it's best not to go looking for them.

Neither side got the desired result, so Lin Shuang had no choice but to put the idea aside for the time being.

They wandered back to Starskiff Haven.

After asking around and finding out there was still plenty of time before Tingyun off work, Lin Shuang decided to buy a pot of tea and kill some time at Starskiff Haven.

Lin Shuang sat near the edge, holding a small teapot in one hand and her phone in the other.

Every now and then he would tilt his head back, pour a stream of tea directly from the small teapot, and put it into his mouth.

It blends perfectly into the atmosphere of Starskiff Haven.

Until--

"Y-you, hello... that..."

A weak, pitiful, and helpless voice rang in my ears.

Lin Shuang looked up and saw a green-haired Foxfolk Girl dressed in clothes similar to those of Judge, holding a Warrant Flag tightly in her hands in front of her.

His pitiful eyes would steal glances at Lin Shuang every now and then, then quickly look away.

Oh, it's Huohuo).

Lin Shuang herself had almost forgotten that Huohuo liked to find a place in Starskiff Haven to watch the Starskiff and relieve stress.

So cute!

Looking at the pitiful Huohuo, Lin Shuang felt a little tempted to hug her and rub her head a few times.

Oh no, no, I can't scare the child.

Lin Shuang calmed herself down and cleared her throat slightly:

"What's up?"

"Um—no, it's nothing, I'll be going now, goodbye..."

Perhaps Lin Shuang's deliberately lowered voice startled Huohuo, for she quickly raised the Warrant Flag, closed her eyes, and hurriedly tried to leave.

"You get back here right now! I sent you here to catch ghosts, not to say goodbye!"

But her Tail tugged at her and pulled her back.

"Haaaaah... But, but..."

Huohuo kept her head down and muttered to herself for a while before she finally mustered the courage to look up.

But then he saw Lin Shuang staring straight at him with a smile, and suddenly, the surroundings turned into night, with flickering, cold Ghostflame appearing and disappearing.

"Waaaaaah--!!!"

Huohuo was so frightened that she immediately adopted the classic defensive posture of crouching down with her hands on her head.

Volume 1: Chapter 227 Huohuo: Big sister, are you like me too?

Lin Shuang took out her phone, dispelled the Illusion, opened the camera, and took a close-up photo of Huohuo, who was crouching with her head in her hands in defense.

The Tail that was dangling behind Huohuo was still baring its teeth at Lin Shuang.

But after realizing that Lin Shuang didn't show any malice, he started cursing at Huohuo again:

"Can't you be a little more shrewd? I sent you here to catch ghosts, not to surrender! That guy just scared you a little, and you're already raising a flag to surrender?"

"But... there's a ghost."

Huohuo looked like she was about to cry, which only made Lin Shuang feel more guilty.

Broken...

Is she really that soft-hearted?

"Open your eyes and take a good look! Where did this ghost come from? That white-haired girl is just trying to scare you!"

"Eh... is that so?"

Upon hearing what Tail said, Huohuo cautiously raised the flag and looked up, only to see Lin Shuang pour herself a cup of tea and hand it to her.

"Have some tea to calm down."

The delicate aroma of the tea, accompanied by rising steam, wafted into Huohuo's nose, calming her down slightly.

"Thank you... thank you."

Huohuo lowered the flag from above her head.

Perhaps sensing Lin Shuang's goodwill, or perhaps Tail hadn't reminded her.

Huohuo squatted on the ground, took the Teacup with both hands, and sipped a small amount.

His tense expression visibly relaxed a little.

Huohuo was squatting at the foot of the table, leaning against the wooden stool, holding Teacup in her hand and clutching the Commander's Banner.

"It smells so good..."

"That..."

Lin Shuang blinked, looking at the Foxfolk girl who was squatting on the ground and unwilling to get up.

In that instant, I gained a deeper understanding of this timid personality.

Is it really okay for a child with this kind of personality...? I'm really worried.

"Phew~"

Seeing that Huohuo wasn't reacting and was still slurping her tea with her eyes half-closed, Lin Shuang had no choice but to lean down and raise her voice a bit.

"That thing--"

Then Lin Shuang witnessed firsthand what Fox with its fur standing on end looks like.

"Eek--! Tail, save me--"

"Save my ass! Someone's talking to you, don't come to me with this little thing!"

Huohuo jumped up and, after being pecked by its Tail, realized that its scream had attracted the attention of many people nearby.
