Now we finally have a professional tailor in our family.

He valued not Pu Siqinglan's skills, but her talent in clothing making.

If she could invent the cheongsam all by herself, then developing something more romantic or interesting would be a piece of cake.

Once you understand one thing, you understand everything!

"Thank you...Young...Master!" Pu Siqinglan took the small ball, placed it close to her body, and then automatically changed her form of address.

She actually wanted to address the young master the same way Vermouth did, but after noticing Vermouth's dangerous gaze, she wisely changed her address.

After all, he would be her boss from now on.

If you don't want to be treated unfairly, then you need to be more sensible.

"Sister Bei, she's in your care from now on. You can explain the details to her later." Yu Shengnan glanced at his watch, calculated that Xiao Lan and the others would be out soon, and stood up to make the arrangements.

“No problem, leave it to me, little master.” Vermouth turned her head, her tone slightly teasing. “From now on, you’re mine. You can come to me anytime if you need anything~”

Pu Siqinglan felt uncomfortable under Vermouth's gaze. "Okay, Sister Vermouth."

"Call me Vermouth or Vermouth!" Vermouth's eyes instantly turned icy, like a bottomless pool of cold water.

This is the name Yuzuru gave her, a name reserved only between the two of them. It holds special meaning for her and is not something anyone can call her.

"Lord Absinthe!" Pu Siqinglan quickly corrected herself.

"You!" Yu Sheng Nan listened to their conversation with amusement, reached out and ruffled Bei Jie's blonde hair, then looked down at her chest. "Bei Jie, you didn't go and try out the effects of the immortality totem again, did you?"

As he spoke, his hand reached out and took out the Undying Totem from between Sister Bay's alluring white breasts, playing with it in his hand.

It still carried a slight warmth and a faint fragrance, the unique scent that belonged to Sister Bei.

"Oh dear, my little master found out after all." Vermouth chuckled, straightened her clothes, and puffed out her chest, her posture full of allure.

Yu Shengnan smiled helplessly yet indulgently. "Sister Bei, don't be silly. This isn't something you can just try casually."

He recalled the last time he went to deliver the Totem of Immortality to Bayonetta. As soon as he finished explaining its effects, Bayonetta, holding the Totem of Immortality in one hand and a gun in the other, shot herself in the heart.

Without even a moment's hesitation, Yuzuru was completely stunned.

And just like that, an immortal totem was wasted.

They ostensibly wanted to test the effect to prevent any mishaps at a crucial moment.

Doesn't this look younger?

...

After watching Bei Jie leave with Pu Si Qing Lan, Yu Sheng Nan twisted his neck, got up and walked into the castle.

He's a greedy person and likes good things to come in pairs.

Meanwhile, Conan, who had run away, was hiding in a corner, panting heavily, having almost worn out the emergency call.

"That was close, I almost lost my life."

Conan glanced outside with lingering fear, and only after confirming that Urako Seiran hadn't caught up did he breathe a sigh of relief, and his tense body relaxed slightly.

"I have to file a complaint, I must file one when I get back!" Conan muttered angrily to himself, his face extremely grim.

What a terrible technical school! They didn't even teach us that an assassin might carry two guns.

Thinking back to that thrilling moment, Conan still felt a lingering fear.

He almost went too far.

Suppressing his thoughts for the moment, Conan cautiously walked out, preparing to find the main group to rejoin them.

He can't handle the current situation on his own.

...

Soon, sirens wailed through the air as police arrived at the scene, followed by a large number of fire trucks.

The fire that just broke out in the castle was clearly visible even from the foot of the mountain; the raging flames shot straight into the sky, turning half the sky red.

However, to the bewilderment of the police and firefighters, the massive fire defied all reason and extinguished itself.

Normally, these old-fashioned castles are mostly made of wood. Once they catch fire, the fire will spread rapidly. In addition, the complex internal structure of the castle contains many flammable items and ancient decorations, which will help the fire to burn for three days and three nights!

But now, although the castle still bears traces of the fire, with charred walls and smoldering ruins everywhere, the raging fire has vanished without a trace.

Like a dream, it came and went without a trace, leaving only a perplexing silence.

"Mr. Yuzuru, are you alright?"

Standing outside the castle, Natsumi Kosaka carefully took the Egg of Memories from Nanami Hanyu's hands, her eyes filled with worry as she looked him over, examining him closely and not missing any possible injury.

They had just learned from Conan that Pu Si Qinglan was the infamous Scorpion.

When Natsumi Kosaka heard the news, her heart tightened.

She didn't know Yuzuru's strength, only that Scrooge was an extremely dangerous person, cruel and cunning.

Seeing Yuzuru emerge unharmed, the weight that had been hanging over her heart finally lifted.

"I'm fine, I'm sorry to have worried you, Miss Xia Mei."

With a gentle smile on his face, Yuusuke's gaze drifted toward Sonoko, who was having a lively discussion with Ai.
