"Stop looking, they've already gone far away." Xiao Ya lowered her head and covered her forehead, thinking that Bai Yueyue had the potential to become a simp.

Bai Yueyue pouted. Actually, Bai Yueyue also wanted to see Nianxin off, but Nianxin said that she had to buy some things on her way back to take back to her hometown the next day, so there was no need for Bai Yueyue to come along.

Bai Yueyue, fearing that Li Jieyue might suddenly check up on her since the curfew set for her had now passed, cast a protective spell on Nianxin and watched her leave.

In the instant Nianxin left, a dark shadow flashed past Bai Yueyue's blind spot.

"Um?"

Before Xiaoya noticed, Bai Yueyue sensed it first and looked in the direction of the dark figure.

"Yueyue, that guy is dangerous," Xiaoya warned. Less than a second after Bai Yueyue noticed, Xiaoya also sensed it, so Xiaoya was very happy. Bai Yueyue sensed it before her, which meant that Bai Yueyue's perception of danger had now surpassed her own.

Bai Yueyue nodded. Although she didn't know what kind of person the other party was, anything that made her feel uneasy naturally had to be dealt with. She didn't want her home to be raided one day.

"Wind Magic? Whisper" A wind suddenly arose, gathering from all directions. The breeze carried a slight chill, but fortunately, with magic protecting her, Bai Yueyue was not greatly affected.

Bai Yueyue has many kinds of detection magic. In fact, she doesn't remember many of them. Most of the time, she relies on muscle memory and Xiao Ya's hints.

This was also a test of Bai Yueyue's magic, which could detect the entire surrounding environment and tell her the shapes of any unusual objects or creatures.

"Next time, let's use a more direct detection magic." Bai Yueyue was somewhat dissatisfied because she had indeed sensed a strange creature, but it had already disappeared very alertly.

"This is really troublesome. Isn't this like being targeted by a thief?" Xiaoya also felt a headache. That speed was definitely not something a human could do. But now she had no idea what kind of creature the other party was. Xiaoya's biggest worry was whether the other party was the monster she had dreamed about before.

"There's no other way. Sanctuary magic? Protection."

A massive barrier of light appeared, enveloping the entire villa. Of course, this light was a fluctuation of magical energy, invisible to ordinary humans.

"Oh dear, look at you, you were so careless, you got spotted!" Under the cover of darkness, the girl pretended to be angry and scolded the creature beside her. "I told you, you can only move after I leave."

The creature next to it purred unhappily, somewhat like a cat, but it was smaller than even a tiger.

"Hehe, whatever, it doesn't affect me anyway." The girl laughed and was about to leave. The creature wanted to follow, but the girl stopped it. "Oh dear, the task I gave you wasn't to follow me."

Upon hearing the girl's words, the creature bent down and knelt on the spot, waiting for the girl to leave. The girl, of course, left without looking back. How could she possibly care about such a consumable?

Bai Yueyue, the other half, was a little worried and used ten barrier-type defensive spells at once. Such a huge expenditure of magic power made Bai Yueyue feel dizzy.

"Yes, that's enough." Xiaoya nodded, not only because she had set up so many barriers, but more importantly because she knew Bai Yueyue's current limits.

For example, Bai Yueyue's magic was previously a small stream, but now it's equivalent to a medium-sized river.

"By the way, Yueyue, you'd better find some time to cast a protective spell on your family. After all, there was a precedent like Huang Xiaoyu. Although Huang Xiaoyu didn't do this, if someone threatens you with your family, it will be a real headache to deal with."

Xiaoya offered this suggestion to Bai Yueyue because Bai Yueyue couldn't, and couldn't possibly, remember all the magic. Xiaoya was worried that Bai Yueyue wouldn't know which magic to use to solve the problem at that time, so it was better to take precautions from the beginning.

Bai Yueyue nodded gently, but since her family members were not home and she didn't know their exact location, she planned to set up the magic during the Chinese New Year when everyone was at home.

With this lingering wariness of the strange creature, Bai Yueyue slept until early the next morning. Well, she was a little wary, but not much.

Just as Xiaoya said, by the next day, Bai Yueyue's manicure was gone, proving that it hadn't left any lasting effects.

Although Bai Yueyue felt stupid for putting on makeup and getting her nails done last night, she was still glad she did, because she was sure that she would have disgustedly removed the nail polish now.

Bai Yueyue glanced at the skincare products on her dressing table and felt a headache coming on. She then began her daily routine—disdainfully tossing these items into the innermost small cabinet.

Then I went into the bathroom, picked up the three-in-one toiletries that my mom would beat me for in the trash can, and started washing up.

Once everything was mostly taken care of, Zhang Yuyao sent the location and message.

[You need to be here before midnight. Especially Nianxin, you can't miss it!] Zhang Yuyao solemnly tagged Nianxin in their group chat.

[Okay, I'm heading out now.] Nianxin replied. In the past, Nianxin definitely wouldn't have come, but things have changed somewhat now.

Bai Yueyue glanced at her phone; it was already 10:30. No wonder she was a high school student; she could get up so early even on vacation.

What? You're saying 10:30 isn't early? Someone who's a college student doesn't get up until 2 PM.
