After returning home, Bai Ye entered the underground training room and found An Xiaotong and Pei Qingyue.
Both women looked sickly, their faces pale.
An Xiaotong, especially, had suffered severe injuries. Her already slender body looked even frailer, carrying the delicate beauty of an ailing maiden.
"Little White, you're back. Did it go smoothly?" An Xiaotong asked.
"The Genetic Potion went smoothly enough, but when I parked just now, I heard rats moving around. There are a lot more rats near our home."
The words "our home" brought a flush to An Xiaotong's pale face, but she turned serious the next second.
"Rats? Could Hidden Rat be watching our home?"
Bai Ye nodded. "It's possible."
Pei Qingyue's expression tightened. "Should we relocate?"
Bai Ye and An Xiaotong rejected the suggestion at the same time.
"We can't relocate. If it really is Hidden Rat, the fact that he hasn't acted yet means he has reservations and doesn't dare make a move openly," Bai Ye analyzed.
"That's right. Ink Fragrance Garden is an upscale residential complex with many wealthy residents. Only by staying here can we make Hidden Rat wary. Moving somewhere else would be even more dangerous."
Xiao Tong was as sharp as ever.
At that moment, An Xiaotong pulled Bai Ye aside and leaned her little head close to his ear. "How long until your Divine Power recovers?"
Her warm breath made Bai Ye's already sensitive ear itch.
He suspected An Xiaotong was doing it on purpose, so he deliberately leaned close to her ear as well. "It'll recover tonight. Haa..."
An Xiaotong darted away as if electrocuted, her face full of embarrassment and anger. "Why did you blow on me!?"
Bai Ye immediately turned the accusation around. "You blew on me first."
"You're talking nonsense! I was speaking normally!"
