Secret Thief Potion!

Several days later.

The undercurrents surging within North Ridge City subsided.

Li Yuan and Raven entered a coffee shop. Inside, an elegant and handsome middle-aged man was packing his belongings.

"005, what are you doing?"

Upon hearing Li Yuan's question, the Wall Breaker turned his head.

"Lord gave me a month's vacation. I'm preparing for a thrilling journey."

"On this journey, I will embark on a romantic encounter. Coincidentally, those beautiful young maidens are also waiting for a gentleman's appearance."

"Ah... the new me, a brand new me, romantically and elegantly capturing the hearts of young maidens!"

"Just imagine, 18 years old, the age of abundant curiosity, their yearning for mystery, their anticipation for cinematic plots – I will fulfill them!"

"Just imagining it, I'm already intoxicated. Wonderful!"

"Romantic encounter!"

Li Yuan: "..."

Raven: "..."

This guy is quite perverted.

"So, what brings you here?" the Wall Breaker asked, turning his head.

"We... we're here to see Lord Aus," Raven said, transforming into a young girl.

The Wall Breaker shook his head upon hearing this. "Unfortunately, you're too late. Lord Aus has already left. No one knows where He went."

"A mysterious journey, just like that. That Lord's taste aligns perfectly with mine, hmph hmph."

Left?

"Lord, did Lord not leave any instructions?"

"Instructions?"

The Wall Breaker recalled. Besides giving him a vacation, Chen Ye had indeed told him other things.

Especially something about Li Yuan and Raven.

"Lord said that you are like freshly fired ceramic crafts. Although they are bright and beautiful, they are worthless."

"Truly perfect crafts often require the sedimentation of time to fetch exorbitant prices."

"So, go find it, go train, find your value, and complete a breakthrough from body to soul!"

Li Yuan frowned. "Did Lord Aus really say that?"

"Of course. Your doubt is completely unnecessary. Oh, right, 001, Lord specifically mentioned for you to go to his room, as if to retrieve something."

As he spoke, the Wall Breaker resumed packing his luggage.

"Alright, I won't talk anymore. I'm going to find the value of my existence too."

"People live for beautiful women!"

The flamboyant Wall Breaker left after finishing his packing, not forgetting to kick them out before he did.

Watching the Wall Breaker lock the door and leave with a flourish, Raven and Li Yuan exchanged glances. "If that Lord really said that, then we can only do as he said."

"Mm, farewell."

Li Yuan waved goodbye to the Raven girl as he spoke.

The Raven girl watched his departing back, her eyes suddenly darting around. "What did Lord want me to get from his room? What did Lord prepare for me?"

As Raven spoke, she suddenly transformed and flew into Chen Ye's room through the window.

Raven entered the room. Everything inside was neat and tidy, except for a staggeringly large plant that was particularly conspicuous.

The plant resembled a sunflower, covered in countless coiled vines.

"What is this?"

As Raven flew closer, the sunflower suddenly turned its head!

Countless eyes then opened in the sunflower's pistil!

"Yowaa!!"

Raven screamed in fright. She was about to flee, but the plant's coiled leaves suddenly shot out!

Pap pap pap!

Several vines immediately wrapped around Raven and began to constrict rapidly!

"What is this?!"

Raven had transformed into a girl, but the plant didn't care if she was a bird or a human, continuing to tightly bind her body with its vines!

The vines wrapped around her thighs, and sharp thorns appeared, directly piercing her skin!

"You stinky flower, let go of me! Do you know I'm raised by that Lord?"

No matter how Raven called out, the plant ignored it.

Just as Raven's body was about to be snapped by the vines, Raven suddenly had an idea and transformed into Chen Ye's appearance!

"Look closely, who am I!"

Raven suddenly spoke in Chen Ye's voice. Upon hearing this, the small flower released its vines and playfully shook its body.

Seeing this, Raven let out a long sigh, its voice returning to normal.

"Phew... I thought I was going to die."

"But speaking of which, what is this thing?"

"Is this something the Lord prepared for me? No, no, definitely not."

Raven looked at the curled-up plant, its fur standing on end. Its master had grown such a dangerous plant. What if it turned on its master one day?

To prevent any misfortune befalling its master, "How about I just pull it out?"

Upon hearing Raven's words, the eyes on the plant instantly opened!

Seeing this, Raven's mouth twitched. "Uh... I, I was just kidding."

Forget it, it's better to be safe than sorry.

Raven looked around the room and suddenly discovered a cabinet filled with many bottles of potions.

"What is this?"

Raven opened the cabinet. It was divided into three rows, filled with many potions, each with a label underneath.

Raven took out a bottle of pure black potion.

As for why it chose black, it was simply because she liked black.

Raven looked at the potion's label. "Secret Thief?"

"Could this be what the Master prepared for me? It must be! The Master knows I like black and must have anticipated this long ago!"

Thinking this, Raven directly twisted off the cap, transformed into its bird form, and dipped its beak into the potion to take a small sip.

It was very sweet, a bit like a mint candy.

Taking another sip...

Raven continued to suck up the liquid. Before long, the bottle was empty.

"Huh?"

Just as Raven was about to transform, its body suddenly began to convulse!

"...Aah!"

Raven let out a scream of pain. The next second, the color in its eyes vanished completely, leaving only endless black.

When the pain in its body subsided, Raven instinctively transformed into human form.

She turned into a naked girl, kneeling on the ground. Her eyes were still completely black, without a trace of white.

She slowly stood up, and the world before her suddenly became incredibly unfamiliar.

Everything seemed as if she was seeing it for the first time.

"I hear... a voice. Who is it, whispering?"

Save me...

Save me...

There was a faint voice, pleading for help.

Raven dazedly walked to the bedside, then transformed into an eagle, flapping its wings and soaring into the sky.

She flew through the sky, following the whispering voice, which grew more intense.

"Whoever it is..."

"Save me, I've... had enough."
