"what you up to?"

"I plan to have 'Reef' eventually descend upon 'Tiger Ear,' and ultimately help 'Reef' shatter 'Tiger Ear,' merging the creatures of Tiger Ear into Reef. I've heard you can save 100 million players in each world; I hope you can make 100 million cookies in both Tiger Ear and Reef and take them away."

Yu Xunge carefully observed Queque's expression and said, "Do you know what the consequences of your plan will be?"

Queque's eyes were red, but she laughed heartily: "I know that I have betrayed my world once again. I will be regarded as a traitor by all the Tiger Ears players. I will become the only player in the entire Chaotic Star Sea who has betrayed his world twice."

Unlike her previous job-hunting jobs in different worlds, Tiger Ear Miss is sought after by many worlds because she is dedicated to her duties and fights to the very end when working for them.

It's impossible for her to risk her life to fight for the world, but she is indeed doing her best to fight for the world until it is destroyed, at which point she will simply move on to another world to continue working.

As the leader of Tiger Ears and currently the fifth strongest in the entire Star Sea, with her around, the Reefs wouldn't dare to invade Tiger Ears. What Tiger Ears should do most is cut off the tail at the sound of the bell and protect Tiger Ears...

This time, however, she not only took the initiative to call for Reef to go to war with Tiger Ear, but also wanted to help the invading Reef shatter Tiger Ear before the bell rang.

It is foreseeable that she will protect the Celestial Clan during the war.

This is a logical and reasonable choice, but it is also a blatant betrayal.

She betrayed the innocent Tiger Ear, who had no grudge against the celestial phenomena, and betrayed the name Tiger Ear Missing and the identity of Tiger Ear's leader.

“I’ve been thinking about what I did wrong back then in midsummer. I’ve imagined and simulated it over and over again, wondering what I would do if I could do it all over again… I’ve thought about it for so many years but haven’t come up with the best answer. But I’ve finally come to understand a principle.”

What's the reasoning behind that?

"I can't live up to everyone's expectations." Queque gripped Zaijiuxun's arm tightly, as if that would keep her from collapsing. She repeated forcefully, "I can't live up to everyone's expectations!"

"I just don't want to have any regrets. I'm no longer the weak and cowardly Zhongxia Queque I used to be. I can do whatever I want without asking anyone whether it's right or wrong."

Queque's tone was firm and powerful, her voice conveying an unyielding resolve that brooked no argument, yet her eyes were moist, and a light rain began to fall from the clouds above.

She said she didn't want to ask right or wrong anymore, but her eyes and the rain above her head asked the question for her.

Yu Xunge reached out and put the hood on her, and she replied, "Yes! We can't live up to everyone's expectations."

A few hours later, she left Tiger Ear with Tiger Ear Missing and a Cookie House that looked like one ear, and arrived at the Reef.

When she returned home after a long day of work to pick up Maple Syrup, who had spent the day making cookies, Maple Syrup was furious.

"Did I text you to come back first and send me back to Zelan?!"

She didn't get to these worlds through legitimate means, unlike when she went to Bury Spring on her own, knowing how to get there and how to get back. Now she's wandering all over the starry sea, relying on boats to pick her up and drop her off. If the other party doesn't come to send her back, she has no way to return to Zelan.

She used to have bound items, but the game has been updated, and those low-end items are no longer among the magical artifacts she marked.

Yu Xunge pulled the cow cat aside, took control of the helm, and pretended to be focused on sailing the boat. He spoke with a self-righteous but unconvincing tone: "Ze Lan is fine. Fu Xiao Xian Chan is just an immigrant. She doesn't want to start a war. If a war really breaks out, do you think I wouldn't come to pick you up?"

"For many years, no one has dared to disobey me."

"...Haha, this feeling is quite novel, isn't it?"

Maple Syrup: "..."

By the time the owl had drawn his spear, the ship had already reached the skies above Zelan. Yu Xunge turned the rudder, gave a few words of warning, and left Zelan with the ship and the cat, leaving the owl alone flying high above Zelan.

When Yu Xunge returned to Zaijiu and met Tu Lan, he complained that Fengtang's temper was getting worse and worse.

As soon as I entered the room, I met the gaze of Mistblade on the sofa. The Moon Fox's gaze was also quite strange.

Yu Xunge: "What's wrong??"

Fogblade: "You really want Fuzhi to immigrate to Zaijiu?"

Yu Xunge looked up at the ceiling and said, "That's right. Anyway, I definitely don't owe Fuzhi anything anymore. Now it's their turn to owe me."

...

Devil's Tavern.

Qi Hua rubbed her ears and said helplessly, "Can someone tell her for me that I heard it?"

Dull-witted: "You could do what the captain did and pay a price to have the Chaotic Star Sea relay your message."

Cooking smoke chimed in, "Then she'll be brought back without mercy, just like the captain."

Fei Ju, who always joined in the commotion, remained silent this time, instead quietly observing Hu Nao.

Zhongxia Hu Nao sighed, waved his hand to scatter the drizzle above his head, turning it into a light snowfall that fell into the juice in his hand: "Why are you always staring at me?"

Feiju: "You seem unhappy? Is it because you think Huerqueque did something wrong?"

Hu Nao shook his head: "She did a great job."

The dullard gave the answer: "He felt sorry for Tiger Ear Missing".

"What's there to feel sorry for? I think Tiger Ear Queque has grown up. If she were to return to the Midsummer of yesteryear, she would definitely do very well." Fei Ju couldn't help but speak up for Tiger Ear Queque. He always felt that powerful members of the same clan should be praised, not pitied.

“She might do well, but she won’t be much happier,” Hu Nao said. “She’s still Zhong Xia Queque. No matter how many people she’s wronged, she’ll always be thinking about the ones she’s wronged.”
