Dusk, Hugh and Fors's two-bedroom apartment.

After running around outside all day, Xio pushed his tired body open the door and smelled the sweet aroma of food before he entered.

She took off her coat and Leather Boots, and asked as she walked, "Fors, aren't you busy writing a new book recently?

"Why do you have time to cook again?"

Fors's voice came from Kitchen: "I just suddenly wanted to make something to eat."

"Okay, where do you get so many questions? I made Apple Pie and Milk Pudding that I learned from magazines. Come over and have a try."

"Okay."

Xio's actions have always been faster than his brain.

When she said these words, she had already strode into Kitchen.

"Uh."

Xio glanced at the fruit cores and dark things that were almost overflowing in the trash can, then glanced at the empty Milk bottles stacked next to them, pretending not to see them.

"Try it!"

Fors heard the footsteps, cut a small piece Apple Pie and fed it to Xio.

Xiu chewed a few mouthfuls, swallowed, smiled and nodded, "It's delicious."

"I think it tastes better than last time at Intis Restaurant."

"Really?" Fors's eyes suddenly became bright, and he turned around and took another spoonful of white jelly-like pudding, 66

Then try this again."

Before Xio could react, she was forcefully stuffed into her mouth.

The next second, layers of full taste buds bloomed on the tip of her tongue. The mellow aroma of Milk and the sweetness of Honey were perfectly blended, and they were also mixed with traces of coldness.

"Delicious!"

Xio nodded his head hard twice.

After swallowing this mouthful of pudding, she felt that at least half of her fatigue was relieved!

"Hee." Fors turned to the dining table with satisfaction.

Xio looked at her friend's back and suddenly noticed something was wrong.

Fors is not wearing home pajamas, but a pair of Orange-Yellow Long Skirt.

The hair seemed to have been freshly washed - Xio squinted her eyes and landed on her friend's Brown Curly Hair, which was draped over her shoulders, and she could vaguely see some traces of moisture.

She sniffed it gently and smelled a hint of Citrus Scent.

You just took a shower and sprayed perfume?

Xio was about to start the association when he suddenly heard his friend say, "Xio, help take Milk Pudding out."

"Okay." Xio nodded and walked towards the dining table. Then his eyes fell on the three small bowls of Milk Pudding, and he fell into a daze for a moment. "Is there anyone else?"

Fors coughed uncomfortably. "Well, I will participate in a Literary Salon with Lorry later."

In fact, they planned to attend Mr. A's party tonight, but she didn't want Xio to know about her acquisition of Sun Domain Mystical Item.

So you didn't suddenly want to eat something, but showed off your cooking skills? Xio felt like he saw a peacock trying to open its tail.

Her current friend was so unfamiliar that she was a little scared. They were nothing like the Fors from before who could lie down and never sit down.

A few minutes later.

The two ladies placed the food on Tea Table.

Xio looked at Fors, who looked at the door from time to time, and hesitated several times.

Suddenly, she remembered the reward she had just inquired about today. After a moment of hesitation, she decided to speak out, "Fors, I just----Fors?!"

Fors turned his head slowly and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I heard something when I came back." Xio took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "You should know about Lei Lorry's new book, right?"

"This guy actually tricked his readers into digesting Potion!"

Fortunately, I have been busy making money recently and did not buy his new book. She felt a sense of luck that she had not been deceived, and continued, "Many deceived readers got together and jointly paid for a reward: as long as you beat him up, you can get 20 pounds." If you just provide your address and route of action, there is also 5 pounds of Bounty."

Isn't this what Miss "Justice" shared on Tarot Club in the afternoon? I didn't expect her to be so well-informed----Fors was slightly startled.

Immediately, she chuckled and said, "You actually took the initiative to tell me this?"

Xiu put on a straight face and hummed. "I saw him sharing Mysticism knowledge last time."

I'm not afraid that you will be sad - thinking about it, she breathed out. "Anyway, you'd better remind him to be careful.

"Even Beyonder cannot deal with several Bounty Hunter at the same time. They will not invite a duel openly."

Xio imagined in his mind the scene of Lorry being beaten up with a sack while walking at night, and he suddenly felt much more relaxed.

Then, she looked down at Milk Pudding in front of her and swallowed.

When can we eat it?——Her shoulders suddenly slumped, and she turned her head to look at Entryway helplessly, wailing in her heart.

"We left Hugh alone. She seemed quite sad."

On Hired Carriage, Lorry recalled the expression on the other's face when the two of them went out, wanting to stop them but being unable to stop them, and couldn't help but smile.

He couldn't help but think of a word from his previous life: incompetent husband.

Of course, it needs to be replaced by best friends here.

Fors heard this and rolled his eyes at the colleague opposite him angrily.

"By the way, you should be more careful lately——" She remembered Xio's reminder and Miss "Justice"'s sharing, and quickly lowered her voice and said it again.

"Is this such a big resentment?"

Lorry chuckled and said, "Don't worry, I have already made arrangements.

"And they are already moving very slowly - you don't know, my superior filmed "Great Detective Sherlock" on the table last night."

"Superior?"

Fors reminds me of the official background mentioned by Mr. "World".

"After Baron Percival Incident, I was recruited by MI9 and became their Informant." Lorry explained nonchalantly.

MI9----

As a wild Beyonder, Fors often heard other members mention their nickname "Military Hyena" and their bad records in Beyonder Gathering.

While subconsciously feeling uneasy, she heard another chuckle, "It's just a mutually beneficial cooperation. I'm not Official Member."

"I didn't say I didn't believe you----" Fors muttered in a low voice, then the topic suddenly changed, "Ahem, I have good news for you.

Tell you."

"What good news?" Lorry asked knowingly.

The Fors organization said, "I found out the whereabouts of the Two Materials and Spirit Eater's Stomach you need on Concealment's Beyonder Gathering."

"But the seller admitted that he did not want Pound and insisted on trading with Solar High Priest" and Potion Formula of Subsequent Sequence 6."

She paused and then said, "It's a pity that you didn't buy Solar High Priest" Formula last time.

"Otherwise we don't have to try our luck. I wonder if the Eternal Blazing Sun"Believer" I mentioned to you before will attend the party tonight."

"I hope he will participate."

Lorry said leisurely, looking down at Grayish-White Worn Money Bag.

Now it contains more than 2,500 pounds, and the speed of accumulating luck has increased a lot. The only regret is that its luck was inexplicably exhausted last night.

Until now, he has not figured out the reason.
