The cat gave something to the ink mark on the pen, and then disappeared.

Zhibi Mohen walked towards the village entrance. When he reached the tree where Han Lingxi was hiding, Han Lingxi suddenly jumped out. She didn't mean to scare him, but Zhibi Mohen was not frightened at all and remained expressionless.

Han Lingxi looked at the ink marks on the brush in front of her. How should she put it? They were really ugly. Actually, they weren't that ugly; you could say they were delicate. But compared to the person in question, they were very ugly.

"Hey, I know your secret now. What's in it for me? If the reward satisfies me, I'll keep it a secret."

Han Lingxi said arrogantly.

"Oh? Now that I know your secret, what will you give me in return?"

Finally, the ink-stained brush was no longer expressionless; it crossed its arms and looked at Xiyue Nuanfeng with a half-smile.

"What secret of mine?"

Han Lingxi asked in confusion.

"Of course I didn't see anyone asking the old woman in the south of the village for anything, nor did I see anyone running over happily, looking like they had succeeded in their evil scheme."

Han Lingxi wanted to tear off his ambiguous smile, but she never expected her lover in this dimension to be so sarcastic.

"Okay, you win."

Han Lingxi said indignantly.

"In that case, we're even."

After finishing his sentence, Zhu Bi Mohen ignored Han Lingxi and headed towards the village entrance as planned. After walking for a while, he frowned and looked back, only to see Han Lingxi following him at a distance of three steps.

"We're even now, so why are you still following me?"

The ink marks on the brush emphasized the four words "neither owes the other anything," with a hint of helplessness in the tone.

"Of course I'm going to follow you. You know my secret. What if you go around telling everyone? Of course I'll keep an eye on you."

Han Lingxi spoke with absolute certainty.

"I definitely won't tell anyone. You can leave now. You can't keep following me forever."

"What's wrong with following me around? I get an extra bodyguard too, since you owe me a favor."

Han Lingxi's smile was so irritating.

"Hey, lady, who wants to be your bodyguard? And when did I ever owe you a favor?"

The words spoken by the ink marks on the pen are even more infuriating.

"Hey, who are you calling 'big sister'? I'm a young girl in the prime of my life, can't you speak properly? If it weren't for me, would you have known about the adventure in the newbie village? You were able to get that cat's stuff, so don't you owe me a favor?"

Han Lingxi recalled that the ink mark on the pen first saw her shameless—no, I mean, clever—asking her mother-in-law for something before coming here to find the invisible cat. It must have been inspired by her, which is why Han Lingxi said he owed her a favor.

"you……"

Han Lingxi was telling the truth, and Zhibi Mohen wouldn't deny that he had indeed thought of searching for special places in the village because of Han Lingxi's behavior, just to refute her.

"Okay, I guess I owe you a favor."

After speaking for a long time, he finally said dejectedly, "You are the one I've been writing about."

"Haha, let's go then, Ink Trace little bodyguard."

Han Lingxi walked ahead smugly and arrogantly, waving for Zhibi Mohen to follow. Zhibi Mohen sighed resignedly and followed.

The two formed a team and completed the quests in the newbie village together. They obtained an assassin's iron dagger, a mage's wooden staff, and some copper coins. However, Han Lingxi insisted on keeping the copper coins, citing the fear that Zhu Bimohen would waste them.
