The dark villa was exceptionally quiet.
Qin Xiaoxue had already returned Wooden Head to her Beast Taming Space.
Then she said softly:
"Xiaolu, Xiaoxiao, come out."
There was no one there.
Not even the slightest sound came from the villa's entire first-floor living room.

"Huh?"
The two exchanged a glance, then nodded in understanding.
Qin Xiaoxue was speechless. Clearly, these two girls had probably let their thoughts stray again.
Still, she
