Miss Sword Case had never seen such a serious and earnest expression on Qin Ze's face before, and she couldn't help but be infected by it.
"Friend... teacher..."
Seeing her good friend's mood turn slightly melancholy, Miss Sword Case nuzzled against her friend's arm.
"Since he's your friend, then... then I'll be his friend too."
Qin Ze smiled and raised his arm to pat her head.
"He's a genuine swordsman; he'll definitely like you."
Abyss Puppet flapped its wings heavily and suddenly accelerated towards Penglai City.
In the gray mist, the Fairy and Ma Yan stood side by side before a throne.
The Fairy was chewing bubble gum out of boredom when she suddenly blew a huge bubble and slapped it hard against Ma Yan next to her.
Ma Yan rolled his eyes speechlessly. "Are you a primary school student?"
Snap
The bubble burst, smearing the Fairy's mouth with grease.
"Isn't your sister amazing?"
The Fairy Yangyang, curled her tongue, and continued chewing.
A handsome man suddenly stepped out from beside the throne, giving the first impression of a sunny and cheerful young man.
He was dressed like an old European nobleman, with a bow and arrow embroidered in gold thread on his collar.
This kind of attire might look out of place on others, but on this man, it fits him perfectly.
The man, his face stern, looked at the two women and said, "You two have failed again. The president is very angry."
Snap
The Fairy popped another bubble and said calmly, "Stop pretending to be human, aren't you tired?"
Sagittarius almost lost his composure. He cleared his throat and said, " Twins Constellation, behave yourself. Standing before you is the chief of the Twelve Zodiac Signs, Lord Sagittarius."
The Fairy nodded. "Understood, Wang Dazhuang."
The man's face fell. "Don't call me by my real name."
Ma Yan replied seriously, "Okay, Wang Dazhuang."
Sagittarius was completely deflated. He rubbed his forehead and shook his head. "I really don't want to see you guys again."
Fairy chewed. "Then let's get down to business. What did the president call us here for? After you're done, get out of here."
"With such terrible taste in clothing, do you think we want to see you?"
Ma Yan nodded again; she agreed with this point.
If she were to dress like that and go out in public, I wonder how embarrassed she would feel.
Sagittarius said coldly, "Whether it was in the Sea of Glaze before, or in the Otherworld No. Zero not long ago, you failed."
The Fairy scoffed. "At the site of the God of War's legacy, this Preacher used the power of the guild leader. In the Otherworld No. Zero, the two of us, the Saber King, escaped unscathed."
"We failed?"
So you mean the teacher is too incompetent?
Sagittarius's expression changed drastically. "I didn't! You're lying!"
The Fairy said calmly, "I understand, so you think the Saber King too weak."
"Then, Wang Dazhuang, please take your seat and immediately shoot the Blade Saber King in the head, eliminating this great enemy for the Chairman."
The Saber King is the pinnacle of Human Race combat power, so the Archer naturally doesn't have the confidence to shoot him down with a single arrow.
He cleared his throat. "When there's another opportunity."
The Fairy remained unyielding. " The Saber King guards the Otherworld No. Zero; the opportunity is right before us. If we don't act now, when will we?"
After holding it in for a while, Sagittarius said, "Don't mention it again."
The Fairy smiled and said, "So, about our failure..."
Sagittarius quickly interrupted, "You didn't fail."
The Fairy nodded. "Since we completed the mission so perfectly, Dazhuang, don't forget to go to the guild leader and ask for our reward."
Sagittarius suddenly realized that meeting these two women today was a mistake.
Ma Yan asked helplessly, "So what new mission have been assigned to us this time?"
Sagittarius straightened his back and once again adopted the air of "chief": "The president has ordered you to set off immediately to welcome Leo and Cancer."
The Fairy was silent for a moment before saying, "Weren't those two imprisoned in the Hall of Stars by Yao Yuan? If we had the ability to tear the Hall of Stars apart with our bare hands, would we need to be working here?"
This command is equivalent to sending a low-level henchman to eliminate Tang Sanzang and his disciples.
A task that is simply impossible to complete.
Sagittarius shook his head. "I didn't let you tear the Hall of Stars apart and go to Snow City. The Guild Master predicted that the Hall of Stars would reopen in Snow City."
" The Leo and Cancer will be successfully rescued at that time."
"Secondary mission: Seize the Hall of Stars."
Ma Yan frowned. The earlier matters were manageable, but as for seizing the Hall of Stars, did they really think the Law Enforcement Department, with the Grand Consul in charge, was just for show?
She had expected the Fairy to haggle as usual, but to her surprise, the other party said without hesitation, "I'll take it."
Ma Yan turned to look at his partner, his eyes seeming to say, "Are you out of your mind?"
A slight smile played on the corners of the Fairy's lips beneath half a white fox mask, "Ez."
Sagittarius were still waiting to haggle, were equally surprised, wondering what the Fairy was up to.
"The guild leader is taking this mission very seriously, so you'd better pay close attention."
The Fairy raised her fair chin. "When have we ever not been attentive? Just say it."
Sagittarius didn't argue with her anymore, mainly because he couldn't win the argument.
"You're not the only ones on this mission; other Constellations will provide support once you arrive in Snow City."
The Fairy teased, "Once Leo appears, I wonder if you'll still be able to hold onto your position as Grand Eunuch."
She made a throat-cutting gesture with her right hand. "Do you want us to help you... frame the Grand Consul?"
"As long as the money is there, everything is negotiable."
Sagittarius quickly slipped away, not daring to say a word, just like an NPC issuing a quest.
The Fairy giggled and laughed, "That Dazhuang is such a loser."
Immediately, she blew a bubble at Ma Yan beside her. "Let's go, I'll take you on a paid trip."
The two women withdrew from the gray fog, leaving only a lonely throne.
As they drew closer to Penglai City, Qin Ze grew increasingly excited and nervous.
Is this considered a wanderer returning home?
The clones were making a racket on the Local Area Network.
"To return home in glory and wealth is like wearing fine clothes in the dark."
"We... have never always been hiding our true selves in the shadows."
"I like wearing fine clothes at night, so what?"
Let me see your fine clothes~
" Brother Yuanzi has suffered these past two years. Remember to bring two cases of walnut milk when you come."
"I'll give you a number: two tanks of the Life Essence."
"..."
Miss Sword Case also noticed Qin Ze's recent emotional change.
Even when facing a formidable enemy, she had never seen her best friend so nervous. She was becoming increasingly curious about the new friend Qin Ze had mentioned.
Qin Ze said in a low voice, "This time we've indeed been out for quite a while."
The phrase "approaching home with trepidation" aptly describes his current state.
Although Miss Sword Case was brought out of the Otherworld No. Zero by Qin Ze, she actually didn't feel any sense of belonging to the Human Race world.
But now that Qin Ze is here, she feels that her good friend's hometown can also be her hometown.
Gradually, the blurry outline of Penglai City began to appear.
Standing atop the Abyss Puppet, Qin Ze spread his arms wide and shouted, " Human Race, your king has returned!"
