Of Course I'm Choosing Fairy! Dazzling Girl Red Pomelo!
Bai Xuan glanced at the three Character Setting that appeared on the World Book and unconsciously raised an eyebrow.
But he didn't make a choice immediately; he still had a lot of things to deal with.
Bai Xuan closed the World Book and turned to Marie Allera, saying, "Don't worry, that guy has been torn to pieces by you; he didn't escape."
"Really!? That's great!" Marie Allera nodded vigorously. "Human! Aren't I amazing!"
"Little Marie is the best!"
"Whee!"
"Is this guy just a pile of metal scraps left?"
At this moment, Li Hongyou landed gracefully, looking at the scattered armor fragments on the ground with a puzzled expression.
"More or less."
Bai Xuan shrugged, his answer somewhat perfunctory.
He had already placed the Immortal Pearl into the World Book, and it could never be retrieved.
"..."
Li Hongyou didn't speak, but merely glanced at Bai Xuan indifferently.
She wasn't blind; of course she saw him take a snow-white bead from the metal sheet.
However, since Bai Xuan had defeated Five of Clubs, she had no reason to make him hand it over.
After a moment, she finally spoke, "Thanks for earlier."
Upon hearing Li Hongyou's gratitude, Bai Xuan remained silent for a moment, then a smiling face appeared on the Slime Mask:
"You're welcome, Miss Minor Fish."
"Ha?"
Anger instantly surged across Li Hongyou's face. "You don't want to see tomorrow's..."
"Shining Girl Red Pomelo Sauce~ The phone's ringing~ Shining Girl Red Pomelo Sauce~ The phone's ringing~"
A cell phone ringing abruptly interrupted her angry outburst.
"?"
Bai Xuan immediately gave Li Hongyou a surprised look.
Shining Girl... Red Pomelo Sauce?
"Tsk!"
Li Hongyou frowned—she had never set her phone to that ringtone before!
But there's a jerk who can do it all without anyone noticing!
She answered the phone and said coldly, "Liu Mufei! What did you do to my phone!"
"Isn't the ringtone I set for you nice? Doesn't it suit you perfectly?"
A sexy voice came from the other end of the phone.
Although Bai Xuan had never met the other person, his intuition told him that she was his ideal type...
Wait, Liu Mufei?
Could it be Liu Qian's aunt?
"Suitable my foot!"
Li Hongyou cursed and said impatiently, "Speak quickly if you have something to say!"
"Now is the perfect opportunity. This Evil Organization has failed this time, and they will not let her off easily."
Liu Mufei said to Li Hongyou earnestly, "I need to talk to her. Only by accepting the protection of the Investigation Bureau can she truly be safe."
"Tch, I got it!"
Li Hongyou clicked her tongue, turned around, and flew towards Su Yue's room.
Seeing this, Bai Xuan quickly followed.
As soon as I reached Su Yue's door, I heard Su Yue's voice coming from inside:
"There's no room for negotiation on this. I will absolutely not go back to the past!"
"I don't need your help!"
"Your offer—I refuse!"
"..."
When Bai Xuan entered the room, he saw Su Yue talking to Liu Mufei on the phone.
Li Hongyou waited quietly to the side, but seemed uninterested in their conversation, simply floating casually in mid-air.
On the other end of the phone, Liu Mufei continued to patiently persuade her, "Miss Su Yue, please consider this carefully. Your Superpower is very unique. Without the protection of the Investigation Bureau, the Evil Organization will keep targeting you. We are not your enemy, we just want to ensure your safety."
"..."
Su Yue remained silent, simply holding her phone with her eyes lowered.
She was also looking for a way to get out of her predicament, but ever since she left the Ideal City and returned to Ninghang City, she seemed to have become a jade rabbit coveted by everyone!
A whole host of troubles came her way!
"You have at most three days to carefully consider my proposal," Liu Mufei continued. "During this time, Investigator Li Hongyou will remain in Ninghang City. You can inform her at any time if you make a decision."
After saying that, Liu Mufei hung up the phone.
"Tsk, you've caused me trouble again!"
Li Hongyou pursed her lips, retrieved her phone, and said to Su Yue, "You'd better reply as soon as possible. Although the Evil Organization failed this time, it will soon make a comeback. You don't have much time left."
After speaking, she flew out of the window to hand over her work to the Investigator from Ninghang City.
After Li Hongyou left, Su Yue turned her gaze to Bai Xuan, a hint of confusion flashing in her crystal blue eyes.
Bai Xuan stepped closer and reminded her, "Miss Su Yue, our transaction is over."
"Hmm..." Su Yue nodded gently, "What do you want?"
"I need a safe and undisturbed place to stay. With your abilities and resources, that shouldn't be difficult to provide."
As the daughter of the richest man in Ninghang City, Su Yue is fully capable of buying any property, and with her Superpower, she can arrange everything quietly and efficiently.
"I understand," Su Yue replied. "Is that all?"
"Could you give me a few more Magic Stone? Preferably with different attributes," Bai Xuan added.
"Good."
"That's settled then."
After saying that, Bai Xuan prepared to leave with Xilin and the others.
"Please wait a moment!" Suddenly, Su Yue hurriedly called out to him.
"Is there anything else?" Bai Xuan asked, turning around.
Su Yue hesitated for a moment, then mustered her courage and said, "I... want to join you! As long as you don't interfere with my freedom, I'm willing to work for you. Is that okay?"
"No way." Bai Xuan refused decisively.
"Why?"
Su Yue took a step forward, puzzled, and asked urgently, "Although my Superpower isn't good for combat, it's extremely useful! There are many things I can do, and I'm definitely no worse than any of you!"
"No means no, there's no excuse."
Bai Xuan shook his head.
Su Yue is currently entangled with both the Investigation Bureau and the Evil Organization. Asking her to join their side would be like taking on a hot potato.
"Yeah..."
Upon hearing Bai Xuan's answer, Su Yue's bright blue eyes dimmed slightly.
After a moment of silence, she looked up and softly confirmed, "No matter what, you won't agree, will you?"
"That's not entirely true."
Bai Xuan shook his head again and continued, "Once you've gotten out of your current predicament, I might consider it."
"?"
A glimmer of light returned to Su Yue's eyes.
Bai Xuan didn't say anything more and activated the Teleportation Array to return home.
As soon as he got home, he submitted the task.
[World Quest: Mind Guardian (Completed)]
[Quest Reward: Character Setting - Mental Immunity (Purple)]
[Mental Immunity (Purple): Grants immunity to the effects of Psychic Esper Ability or magic]
Should I cultivate a "Mental Immunity" persona for myself?
yes.
[The "Mental Immunity" Character Setting has been added for you!]
Bai Xuan immediately equipped himself with this feature, and then turned his attention to the Immortal Pearl in the World Book.
There are three Character Setting; you can choose one.
He first eliminated [Immortal Crane], leaving [Cultivator] and [Fairy] as the two options.
But since she's already a "Fairy," she should have mastered the abilities of Cultivator, right?
So--
[The Character Setting you selected is -- "Fairy" (Gold)]
Golden Character Setting?!
