Good, You Admitted It / Star Engraving Alliance-Fairy-Tale Castle

I embarrassed myself in front of my owner again. Will my owner stop liking me? (╥╥)

Clearly, her idea was unnecessary.

As they walked into the street, they noticed an ice cream shop, so Ling Mengxue pulled someone inside.

"I didn't expect there to be ice cream..."

Ling Mengxue murmured softly, not finding it particularly strange. After inquiring about the Blood Doll's preferences, she immediately looked at the proprietress. "Hello, could you please get us one strawberry and one vanilla ice cream? If it's strawberry... please get the large size."

The proprietress was taken aback when she saw the visitors, then smiled and said, "Just two, right? Wait here, I'll get them for you."

After receiving the ice cream, Blood Doll couldn't wait and scooped up a big spoonful, as if she wanted to stuff it all into her mouth in one go, with a look of satisfaction and enjoyment on her face.

"Master, it's so delicious! You should eat some too! Can our refrigerator at home produce such delicious ice cream?"

"It should be... possible. I'll see if I can set it up later, and I'll arrange for popsicles and ice cream as well."

Ling Mengxue didn't care about her image. She tore open the packaging and took a bite. Her eyes lit up immediately, and she covered her cheek slightly.

It was icy cold and had a subtle milky aroma; surprisingly, it tasted delicious.

I used to be reluctant to eat like this, but now that I have money, it's not unreasonable to treat myself, right?

The proprietress moved a small stool to the doorway to enjoy the breeze, fanning herself with a palm-leaf fan. She cheerfully said, "Little girl, are you out playing with your little sister? There are a lot of people in the night market, be careful not to get separated!"

"Thank you." Ling Mengxue smiled and nodded, feeling quite ordinary and content.

Nearby, a middle-aged man at a braised food stall, busy with his work, heard the noise and looked over. He couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Aunt Sun, out for some fresh air again! The girl is so pretty; if my son were here, he'd definitely make sure she won him over."

The middle-aged man grinned jokingly, picked up the scissors in his hand, and started snipping away at the braised intestines, managing to chat and work at the same time!

The ice cream shop owner glanced at her neighbor and chuckled, "If this little girl didn't have a boyfriend, I'd like my husband to pursue her first. There's always a proper order to things, isn't there?"

Standing to the side, Blood Doll ate ice cream, but Ling Mengxue's expression was somewhat awkward.

It's not really a big deal, it's just that...

When you're chatting, can you please not ignore the person involved?

"Master, there's a barbecue over there, let's go try it." Blood Doll lowered his head, wiped his hands on his clothes, and looked like he was still not satisfied.

Ice cream is just a small dessert before the main course!

Ling Mengxue didn't mind the dirt and started strolling around with her hand in hand.

Barbecue? Eat as much as you want, and with your supernatural constitution, you probably won't get sick.

We ate as we walked, and packed up the leftovers, ending up with a big bag full.

Fried potatoes, teppanyaki, stinky tofu, spicy pork intestine noodles, fried chicken, roasted meat, takoyaki, cold noodles, roujiamo (Chinese hamburger)...

The Blood Doll, savoring the lingering taste, patted its belly contentedly, still wanting more. It grinned and looked up, saying, "It was my first time playing with my master, so much fun! I hope I'll have another chance like this."

"Okay, but you'll have to carry the bags; your master's arms are killing him..."

When not engaged in combat, Ling Mengxue's strength is just like that of an ordinary girl, but now, carrying so many things, she feels like she's going to die of exhaustion.

Sure enough, there's a reason why girls always bring their boyfriends when they go shopping: it frees up their hands and allows them to enjoy themselves to the fullest.

What do you say when someone carries your things and another person pays for them?

Isn't that how most couples are like this?

She wasn't entirely sure either, since when she went shopping with Xi Yan, she often encountered situations where she wanted to buy entire stores, and she couldn't dissuade her. In the end, everything was delivered to her doorstep by express courier, and she would unpack them one by one...

Blood Doll listened without any reaction, only nodding excitedly like a rattle-drum.

Carrying things is her job, she just doesn't understand why the owner keeps carrying them himself.

And with such a light weight, it made no difference to her; she simply reached out and took it, cradling it in her arms.

Smelling the fragrance wafting from the bag, she gently brought her face close and nuzzled it affectionately, as if it were her most precious treasure.

Ling Mengxue stood with one hand on her hip, looking at her with a smile on her face.

Something seems off.

Why do I always have this feeling of taking care of a child?

"Mengxue??"

Suddenly, a voice rang out beside them, and Ling Mengxue and Blood Doll turned their gazes almost simultaneously.

"Meng Xi ..." Ling Mengxue looked at the girl in the plain floral dress, her expression somewhat complicated.

I never expected that we would run into each other in the food street after we parted ways in the secret realm today. I don't even know what to say.

Beside Meng Xi was a pretty girl, who was currently eating candied hawthorns; they were clearly together.

The moment the girl saw Ling Mengxue, her eyes lit up. She rushed over excitedly, grabbed Ling Mengxue's hand, and stammered, "Um... excuse me, are you Xingxue, a member of the Immortal Sound Idols? I went to the Linzhuo Song and Dance Festival last time! I really like you! Could we take a picture together if it's convenient?"

Ling Mengxue was a little flustered by being held by the hand like that, especially since it was a fan.

Before she could say anything, Meng Xi grabbed her arm. "Xiao Lan, what are you doing? You promised to come out with me to clear my head, how could you have designs on Sister Mengxue?"

"Hey hey?? Xiaoxi, do you know her? Xingxue is an idol, you know. You haven't heard Xianyin's songs?" The girl who had been grabbed broke free from Meng Xi's restraint and couldn't help but ask.

"You mean... Sister Mengxue is a member of Immortal Sound Idols??"

Noticing the key point, Meng Xi was also startled and instinctively covered her mouth.

Recalling her experiences over the past few days, she suddenly felt a little embarrassed and at a loss.

My idol is right next to me?

Ling Mengxue felt quite embarrassed and didn't offer any explanation.

She was only an idol for one day, and almost got herself killed. Anyway, don't expect her to be on stage again, except for e-sports performances.

"Is it okay? Just one!" Meng Xi's best friend was still full of anticipation. It was a rare opportunity, and she probably wouldn't get another chance like it in her lifetime. And then, she got her wish.

Even without Meng Xi's connection, Ling Mengxue would probably feel awkward refusing if they bumped into each other on the street, but if there was something else going on, that would be a different story.

Finally, Meng Xi noticed that there was a cute little girl following behind her. Her eyes lit up immediately, and she stared at the Blood Doll, saying, "Sister Mengxue, is this little girl your sister? She's so cute, just like a doll."

Upon hearing this, the Blood Doll hid behind Ling Mengxue, as if it were very shy.

Remembering her master's words that she couldn't be exposed, or she wouldn't be able to play anymore, she became especially obedient, blinking her big, clear eyes with an innocent and naive expression. Meng Xi and the other girl felt their hearts melt at the sight.

Ling Mengxue casually ruffled her hair and explained, "Actually, she's the neighbor's child. They asked me to take care of her. The little girl felt bored at home at night, so she dragged me to take her out to play."

"So that's how it is..." Meng Xi pursed her lips, nodded thoughtfully, then suddenly couldn't help but pout and said, "Sister Mengxue, I haven't forgotten about you running away today."

"Sorry, I was afraid of being recognized by acquaintances, so I teleported as soon as possible." Ling Mengxue subconsciously touched the back of her head, her eyes darting around, her palms covered in soft strands of hair, trying to get away with it by being cute.

Meng Xi wasn't oblivious. Although she was rather shy, she felt no pressure facing Ling Mengxue now, and said softly, "Could you please not refuse this time? Even if this memory is sad and painful, I don't want to have any regrets..."

"..." "Whatever you want..." Ling Mengxue thought for a moment and handed over her phone.

She seems to have only a few people in her contacts, one more or one less wouldn't make a difference, and she usually only contacts them when there's something important (games, internet cafes, travel, watching anime).

"Besides, you look more like the older sister, okay? I was only just lifted out of the new anti-addiction system for minors this year, I'm still just a high school student." Ling Mengxue looked at her, her expression somewhat distressed.

You're so old, how dare you pretend to be young?

Of course, it was just a little thought, since she didn't know Meng Xi's real age.

"Sorry, I've gotten used to calling you that. I thought we were about the same age." Meng Xi chuckled. "I'm a junior in college preparing for graduate school entrance exams. If you don't mind, I can call you 'little sister' too, but... what are you looking at?"

Meng Xi puffed out one cheek, her face slightly flushed, looking like she was about to get angry.

Xiao Lan stood to the side, completely bewildered. The relationship between Meng Xi and the others seemed quite complicated.

Taking the phone, Ling Mengxue didn't look at it, but just smiled faintly, "It's okay, it's good that you admitted it."

Meng Xi: "??"

What did they admit?

Why can't I understand?

Chapter 136 Star Engraving Alliance - Fairy Tale Castle

Soon after saying goodbye to Meng Xi, Ling Mengxue took Blood Doll and found a dark corner to use spatial magic to teleport back to the Ping'an District's Potion House.

Meng Xi and her friend had originally planned to go shopping together, but both politely declined.

The reason for the arrangement was simple: their families didn't allow them to come home late.

Of course, none of that is the main point. Meeting travel companions on the road and having the chance to travel together is something to be happy about, isn't it?

Ling Mengxue was mainly worried about the Blood Doll. After all, it wasn't human, and if it accidentally revealed itself, it would cause a lot of trouble.

Fortunately, the lighting was quite dim, so if you looked closely, you could still distinguish it from ordinary people. But you'd have to run into someone looking for trouble, otherwise probably no one would be that bored...

Back inside the store, Blood Doll obediently took the items and returned to the front desk.

Ling Mengxue glanced at her and sighed, "Unlimited energy is wonderful; you can do whatever you want."

Unless it's too strenuous exercise, most supernatural creatures seem to not need sleep, or they only need to rest for a short period of time, wandering aimlessly with their eyes wide open all day.

Nothing more was said that night.

The next morning, Ling Mengxue got up early to prepare breakfast, naturally enough for two people, and depending on their appetites, two portions might not be enough.

"At least enough for five people..."

The Blood Doll had lived with her for a long time, and the little girl now only eats normal human food. She feels nauseous when she sees what ghosts and monsters eat, and then she'll purse her lips and mutter, "Is this something a human should eat?"

Looking out the window, the atmosphere remained unchanged. There was no sun, only a misty fog filled with an eerie aura. The world was a vast expanse of white, and not a single person could be seen on the entire street, as if it were a dead city.

Ling Mengxue didn't take it seriously; she was pretty much used to it, almost as if she were at home.

After finishing her meal and tidying up the shop again, she gradually disappeared into the mist, under the lingering gaze of the Blood Doll.

Ordinary people would almost certainly die if they entered, but Ling Mengxue seemed to have a cheat code. She used the 'Illusory Realm' to transform back into the appearance of "Ling Feng" and prepared to go find Ye Yiren to keep her appointment.

It's only right and proper to celebrate for the girl; if I refuse, she might do something outrageous.

"Star Prefecture Media University seems to be not far from Ping'an District, right?" Ling Mengxue glanced at her phone's navigation, her gaze slightly thoughtful.

It seemed to be only a few blocks away, and she could easily reach her destination using 'Spatial Blink', but to be on the safe side and avoid attracting attention, she obediently took a taxi.

After getting off the bus, it was already around eight o'clock in the morning.

Not too early, not too late, just about right.

Looking at the magnificent building before her, which resembled a fairytale castle, for a moment, Ling Mengxue suddenly wondered if she had come to the wrong place.

Through the fence, she could even see that it was filled with all sorts of colorful plants and exotic herbs. Was this some kind of paradise?

Fortunately, apart from its large scale and slightly off-kilter layout, everything else seemed fine. It was just a building and office building with a dreamy decor, giving it a rather aesthetically pleasing feel.

Ling Mengxue waited under a thick old locust tree at the entrance, hesitated for a moment, and then called Ye Yiren.

"Sister Yi Ren, I'm at your school gate. Where are you? What do you want me to do?"

"Who??"

A groggy, slightly hoarse voice came from the other end of the phone, clearly someone who had just woken up. "Who is it? How dare you disturb my beauty sleep? Is the world so bad that you want to be reincarnated sooner?"

Hearing this, Ling Mengxue couldn't help but twitch her lips. She really wanted to go over and slap this woman awake...

Ye Yiren used to frequently pick fights with her, her words were so harsh, yet she insisted on acting like a queen. How could there be such a girl in this world?

Ling Mengxue sighed. "That's true. They're both like this, yet they've become friends. Their situations are similar, so they can be considered to be in the same boat."

Well, neither of them have many friends, except for those who come with ulterior motives or are attracted by their looks.

"Yi Ren, I'm your Brother Feng, do you recognize me?"

"Brother Feng?"

As expected.

Upon hearing those two words, the person on the other end immediately perked up, clearly fully awake. However, upon hearing the next sentence, Ling Mengxue nearly burst out laughing.
