The fast-sleeping Kaio was unaware of the uninvited guest beside him. The poor dark elf had no effective way to resist the drug and could only sleep quietly, completely at the mercy of his captor. Yu Ling watched helplessly as the masked man pulled back the blanket covering Kaio…

"No way? This guy is actually planning this?"

Although Yu Ling had many ideas beforehand, he didn't really believe that Keo, who had lost his elven characteristics after disguising himself, could still be targeted because of his good looks.

After all, the fairy tale world still values ​​whiteness as beauty. I never expected that the protagonist's physique could even forcibly change people's aesthetic standards.

"Forget it, I'm not some pervert who insists on watching this live stream. I can let the text descriptions go, but I can't let something like this actually happen in front of my eyes."

Amidst the rustling sound of fabric rubbing together, a soft light flickered from the room. Yu Ling, having modified the original owner's spatial magic, instantly teleported to the next room and stared wide-eyed at the lecherous man who had turned around, startled by the sound.

Only when the man turned around did Yu Ling see that he was holding a small, exquisite dagger in his hand. It didn't look like it was for assassination; rather, it looked like some kind of handicraft. It was so small that it didn't look like the kind of weapon that could cause any fatal wounds.

Influenced by the previous plot of Kaio, Yu Ling naturally drew into some of the scenes and thought to herself, "This guy is pretty weird."

The two sides remained deadlocked for a long time, and before Yu Ling could say anything, the masked man spoke first:

"...You're a thief too?"

"Thief?"

Yu Ling subconsciously repeated it. So this guy was a thief. No wonder he was so good at hiding. If she hadn't been able to cheat with her soul power, she wouldn't have been able to find him so easily.

Moreover, if he's not mistaken, this person also possesses spatial abilities, though he doesn't know whether they use them through props or some other method.

“You’ve been following us for quite a while now, but now that I’ve caught you red-handed, shouldn’t you tell me what your purpose was in sneaking into this room?”

Yu Ling glanced at the dagger in his hand and the black elf lying on the bed with his chest wide open, her clear eyes filled with great doubt.

Although Yu Ling appears harmless and poses no threat whatsoever, the masked man clearly knows that someone who can pass through a room so easily is definitely not simple.

Now that Yu Ling can stand boldly in front of him and even ask him to reveal his purpose, it's obvious that she's not afraid of fighting him, which is why she's so fearless.

Faced with the choice between finding a way to escape and having a longer conversation, the masked man chose the latter.

"It seems you also know that he is actually an elf."

Yu Ling stared wide-eyed, half in surprise and half feigning surprise.

"The tears and blood of elves contain incredibly powerful energy, making them top-tier materials for crafting magical items. You know, the elves of the Elf Kingdom never venture out, except for this dark elf..."

Although he didn't finish his sentence, he was able to accurately identify Kaio, clearly not fooled by the disguise of the props. But these things were made by the main god and couldn't possibly be wrong, so how did he recognize Kaio?

Faced with Yu Ling's question, the masked man hesitated for a moment. He seemed to really need the elven blood and was reluctant to leave, so he finally chose to reveal his source of information.

"His name is Kaio, and he comes from the other side of the mountains... You know, for thieves like you and me, it's either progress or regression. We need to practice for a long time, and the worst thing we can do is to be complacent and stagnant."

I encountered this elf when I was practicing my thieving skills over there. At the time, he seemed to be kept by some noble family.

As the masked man spoke, Yu Ling gradually began to connect certain scenes from the storylines she had purchased from the system with his own.

No wonder he could recognize Kaio's elven identity; it turns out he had recognized his face long ago. Even without his pointed ears and wings, he could still recognize Kaio.

Yu Ling: "Are you Bip McAar?"

"You know me?"

The masked man, Bip, didn't seem surprised at all. He simply muttered a few words and then took off his mask, revealing a face that looked quite ordinary at first glance.

But upon closer inspection, this person becomes more and more pleasing to the eye; the well-proportioned facial features combine to create a surprisingly harmonious appearance.

"Yes."

Yu Ling recognized him as the random passerby who had unintentionally helped Kaio escape the clutches of the noble family who had been keeping him captive during the process of stealing the Elf's skills.

"Do whatever you want, but go easy on me. Afterwards, come to my room; I have something I want to ask you."

Seeing that things weren't going in the direction of 'Ye Lou', Yu Ling simply vanished on the spot and teleported back to her room.

Bipu quickly made a cut on Kai's body, took the amount he needed, sprayed on the healing potion, restored Kai's body to its original state, and then tore through space to arrive in front of Yu Ling.

"Why did you make the sleeping potion pink?"

After matching the names, Yu Ling knew that this guy wasn't a bad person, and she seemed very relaxed.

In the fairy tale world, he's at best a thief with a less-than-honest business. However, in this place, thievery is legal, otherwise there wouldn't be a thieves' guild.

"What's wrong with pink?"

At first, Bipu didn't expect it to be so profound, but looking at Yuling's unreal beauty, he actually had some ideas he had never had before without a teacher, and even imagined the pink potion plot that Yuling misunderstood.

"I only used some of the powdered scales of the pink butterfly because I ran out of colorless lemongrass."

Previously, Bipu mistook Yuling for a thief because Yuling also used spatial powers. Thieves are known for their unity, so he doesn't treat Yuling as an outsider at all now, and a strange, evil smile appeared on his lips.

He said, "What do you think?"

"..." Yu Ling hadn't expected to be interviewed about her, and she retorted, "I thought... I thought it was one of those drugs that turns people pink!"

Wow! What a bizarre answer! Turning a person pink—the face or the body? Which pervert led this little thief astray?!

Not wanting to corrupt the child, Bip changed the subject, saying, "Speaking of which, this elf's disguise is really good. If I hadn't seen him before, I wouldn't have recognized him either. How did you end up hanging out with him?"
