To his surprise, Pei Sefei was overjoyed when she answered the phone. She showed no sign of blaming Luo Qian for neglecting her. Luo Qian felt a stir of emotion in his heart: Pei Sefei really had been waiting for him, full of longing and regret. But she did not know that what she awaited was an illusory future. He could not spend his life with her in the lower realm, and she could not ascend to the Immortal Realm anytime soon. After decades slipped away and her beauty faded, how could he face a girl as good as her?
Guilt weighed on Luo Qian as he returned to his place to wait for Pei Sefei. At the door, he looked up and saw a new black hemisphere mounted above one corner of the frame. He peered at it and found a tiny reflection peering back. Beside it, a little red light blinked.
What was that thing? A security camera! Luo Qian suddenly remembered seeing them in banks and at traffic-choked intersections. But why was one outside his home? No matter how he looked at it, this hardly seemed like a traffic hotspot.
Luo Qian was tempted to cast an Invisibility Art and give whoever watched the camera feed a fright. But considering that the prank might cost him this place, he shook his head, took out his key, and went inside.
With her connections, Pei Sefei found the advanced Juicer Luo Qian needed within half a day. It was twice the size of an ordinary Juicer, and carrying it looked rather strenuous for her slender frame.
"Qian, come help me." Pei Sefei's voice had a soft, coaxing lilt. Luo Qian took the Juicer, then suddenly realized she had shown no surprise at the camera outside. He understood at once.
