Chapter 359 [Half Moon Serenade] & Little Machi's Invitation
Mistblade forcefully set a time, "Come find me then to fulfill your promise, or I'll take care of that little Machi." After saying that, Mistblade began to deal with Hufflepuff, "The book."
Hufflepuff, who had just been blocking Mistblade, sat down again and smiled shyly: "Dean...can I return it next month?"
Yu Xunge looked at Wu Ren in shock. Was this the Dean?
Mist Blade Moon Emperor curled his lips into a fake smile and said, "I still prefer the way you were back then when you jumped onto my desk, raised your arms, and shouted that you were going to drop out of school."
Yu Xunge & Tu Lan & Little Machi: ··
Hedgehog covered his lips with his fist and coughed twice: "I was young and ignorant back then."
Mistblade: "Hmm, they're much more sensible now, sending their apprentices to my library to steal books and my World Tomb."
Hedgehog gritted his teeth, took out 5g of Moon Sand from his pocket, and handed it to Mistblade: "I was wrong, please forgive my rudeness."
Yu Xunge watched helplessly as Wu Ren's expression melted once again. She put away the Moon Sand: "Deliver the book to my palace before two months from now."
Mistblade, you've come here to buy goods, haven't you? Dragon blood and moon sand!
But that wasn't all. She watched as Mist Blade's gaze swept back and forth in the air from left to right more than a dozen times.
Oh...is this someone checking if they've lost anything?
Mistblade didn't look at Little Machi, but everyone present knew who she was talking about. "Does she know what she should and shouldn't say?"
Hedgehog said, "Don't worry, she knows how serious this is and won't tell anyone."
Mistblade didn't insist. She trusted Hedgehog's judgment and said, "I hope so."
After saying this, she turned into mist and left the alchemy shop, and the sound of Moon Fox's footsteps following her could be heard outside the door.
Only then did the three people inside the house breathe a sigh of relief.
Yu Xunge quickly sat down and poured herself a glass of ice water to calm her nerves. Little Machi also ran over and asked for a glass, and she even thoughtfully poured a glass for the meerkats as well.
Hedgehog grabbed a bottle of ice wine for himself: "How awful..."
Yu Xunge asked curiously, "Teacher, how did she find me? I wasn't even called this when she first discovered me."
Hufflepuff took a big gulp of ice wine, her brows relaxing. She said, "Haven't you read the Alchemy Daily? The Mistblade Moon Queen has invented a new gem called 'Moonlit Nocturne.' After using it, you can see which beings owe her something. The beings that owe her something will have musical notes appear above their heads. She must have seen the musical notes above your head."
Yu Xunge swallowed the water in her mouth with difficulty. This gem was specially made to counter her! What if this kind of gem became common in Zelan? Wouldn't everyone hate her if she walked around Zelan? Besides, Wu Ren is such a genius, he can invent whatever he needs right away!
Yu Xunge asked nervously, "What grade is this gem? Is it expensive? Will it become more common?"
Hedgehog glanced at Yu Xunge with a complicated expression, wondering just how many people he had offended outside, and replied, "High-class."
Tulan couldn't help herself. She wasn't as afraid of Hedgehog anymore, so she asked, "So, whether it's more or less, are the notes appearing above your head the same?"
Heechul heard the dragon language, stared at the little meerkat for a while, and his voice softened considerably: "Of course it's different. The more you owe, the more notes you get."
Yu Xunge's hand holding the water glass trembled slightly.
The little meerkat stood up, its beady eyes with dark circles looking up at the top of Yu Xunge's head, and thought to itself in horror, "Could what she saw back then have been a complete musical score?!"
But Yu Xunge had calmed down. She thought that Wu Ren probably couldn't be sure that she was that goblin. The value of a World Tomb was immeasurable, and [Moonlit Nocturne] had only just been invented. She might not be able to tell the difference between stealing one World Tomb and stealing two so quickly.
Or perhaps she guessed it, but the importance of the Language of All Races was greater than that of the Tomb of the World?
Thinking of Yu Xunge's audacity in stealing the World Tomb of Mist Blade, Hufflepuff admired him: "You're really bold, just like I was back in the day."
Yu Xunge humbly replied, "I am not as good as my teacher. I would never dare to jump on the table to provoke the Mist Blade Moon Emperor."
Hufflepuff nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, you always crawl under the table and rummage through the pockets of the Mistblade Moon Emperor."
Yu Xunge: "..." You've made such a thrilling adventure sound so lewd!
Tu Lan nodded silently, but before she could finish, Yu Xunge grabbed her head and pinched it.
Little Machi held her water cup without saying a word. Hufflepuff and Yu Xunge assumed she was frightened and didn't pay much attention. Yu Xunge asked Tu Lan for a game console and handed it to Little Machi to help her relax.
After chatting for a while longer, and confirming that the Mist Blade Moon Emperor wouldn't suddenly return, Yu Xunge took out 400g of Moon Sand that he had divided from the raging moon on the way and handed it to Hedgehog.
Before she could speak, Hufflepuff snatched the large bottle of Moon Sand. Seeing that she was about to say something outrageous, Yu Xunge quickly preemptively shouted, "It's for Rukia!!!"
Hufflepuff closed his mouth with a look of regret, almost managing to utter, "Is this for your most beloved teacher? Thank you, it's getting late..."
Yu Xunge breathed a sigh of relief. She almost did. She repeated Rukia's instructions, and Hufflepuff's expression became more serious. He immediately put away the Moon Sand as Rukia had asked.
"Rukia taught you both the title of 'King of the Little Fish Kingdom' and 'Second-Rate Fool'?!"
"Sigh, yeah, you know, Rukia only talks the talk, but when she sees a real genius, she can't help but show favoritism."
"..."
"Teacher, why does your face look pale? Did you eat something sour?"
"Laughable, how could that be? That's the skin color of the dead. You're a stranger who doesn't know anything."
"oh--"
Yu Xunge sat for a while longer and talked with Hufflepuff about some of the problems she encountered in the tower. After learning that she had gone to the tower, Hufflepuff understood why she had made such rapid progress. She immediately gave Yu Xunge ten new notebooks to study on her own.
As the skill "When you're out and about, your identity is something you give yourself" was about to expire, Yu Xunge said goodbye to Hufflepuff and Little Machi, left the alchemy shop, and walked for only a few minutes. He had just stolen something from a passing undead when he heard Little Machi's voice behind him.
—"Ravenclaw!"
Yu Xunge and Tu Lan turned around together, and Xiao Maqi ran up to her breathlessly. She was a little taller than Yu Xunge, who had transformed into a wind sickle.
She was still clutching the game console in her hand. She looked at Yu Xunge nervously and asked, "Would you like to come to my house as a guest? Thank you for saving me today."
Yu Xunge didn't think it was a big deal, and she couldn't really say she was saving Little Machi; she was just saving herself. But seeing the seriousness in Little Machi's eyes, she agreed. At worst, she could just drink another bottle of [Melting Time].
