Chapter 204 is endless, simply too much to tell.
The process is too complicated; Yu Xunge can't very well throw out gold coins and do something underhanded in front of others.
However, taking advantage of the advance notice of how to exchange the gold coins, she has already decided to find a way to withdraw them all. If they are left in the Special Affairs Bureau, what if they are actually used?
In fact, the lone wolf is the one who has the hardest time. No force can restrict you, which means no force will protect you either. You have to deal with everything on your own.
Being too mild-mannered makes one easily manipulated and bullied.
If she's too forceful, the Special Affairs Bureau will think she's rebellious and too focused on personal gain. Letting her rise to power will likely do more harm than good. It's better to use her first—for example, by forcing her to go back and teach alchemy. She doesn't believe the Special Affairs Bureau wouldn't guess that she has a teacher in Zelan.
They might even try to pressure her with the righteous cause; if the authorities step in and play the patriotic card, an individual simply cannot resist.
It's not just about patriotism anymore; now the biggest brand is football.
The Special Affairs Bureau is not the eternally righteous and benevolent protagonist found in fairy tales.
She is not an innocent, kind, selfless little white rabbit.
That's good, because it's hard for the always bright, 100% righteous, and kind-hearted little white rabbits to have the last laugh.
Twenty minutes before reaching As City, Yu Xunge used her skill to transform into an undead—the alien race she knew best, besides the Moon Fox.
She also changed all her equipment and clothes, while Tulan temporarily returned to the pet space.
Before even entering the city, Yu Xunge had already sensed that the atmosphere was somewhat tense.
First, there was a new wanted Moon Fox on the notice board outside the city gate, named Shuang Xiu. She was obviously wronged, and Yu Xunge couldn't bear to look at her for long.
Secondly, every person entering the city, regardless of race, would be questioned for a long time by the sirens guarding the city gate.
Moreover, the wall lamps on both sides of the city gate have been replaced with energy-efficient lamps made of engineering technology, and now they emit fragrant candles.
In the past, she wouldn't have thought there was anything wrong with the candle, but after visiting Moon Fox's library, she wouldn't underestimate anything with a fragrance.
She took a deep look at a fruit floating below the city gate. It looked a bit like a tomato from Blue Star, but it was black and had ripples of varying shades on it, similar to those on a watermelon.
Even though Yu Xunge already knew more than a thousand kinds of herbs, he couldn't recognize what it was for a moment, something he had never encountered before.
This reminded her of the race that liked to cultivate all sorts of random plants and then use them as weapons—the Oak Owl.
No... when she went to Moon Lake City to steal books, things weren't this strict! Back then, the 12 alien races had already discovered that the Blue Star people had secretly infiltrated Zelan.
Haha, well, it can't be just because of a few books and a mahjong set, right...?
...
The palace of the Mist Blade Moon Emperor.
Three six-tailed moon foxes stood in the center of the hall, reporting the results of their recent searches in various major cities.
They had sent a small team to the Frosttail Clan long after the book was stolen.
They not only found Shuangxiu, but also discovered that she was just a two-month-old fox cub.
They also investigated all the Frosttail Clan's Six-Tails—and found that none of the Frosttail Clan's Six-Tails had acted alone recently, and each one had witnesses who could testify where they went and what they did that day.
The major cities have also failed to find "Frost Embroidery," and all available tracking scents have been exhausted... The Oak Owl Clan is also helping them search for the fox, but so far, there are no leads...
Mistblade Moon Emperor leaned back on his throne, listening expressionlessly.
After everyone had finished reporting, she asked, "Did you bring back that potion?"
The moon fox in the center held a bottle of magic potion in both hands: "I've already bought it back from that buyer."
The tail behind Mistblade twitched, and the potion floated toward her. She reached out and grasped the potion, and the mist enveloped it. In an instant, a master-level potion worth 200 gold turned into a wisp of smoke and dissipated into the air.
Mistblade said, "Send a small team to Undercity and keep a close eye on Hufflepuff."
She couldn't find the audacious thief, but she knew who in the entire Zelan clan most wanted to learn the Moon Fox Clan's alchemy!
Aside from that idiot Hedgehog, who else would dare send someone to steal books from Moonfox's library?
Moreover, while stealing the book, he also instructed that guy to provoke her and make fun of her!
Sell the potions she gave me for money!
She even suspected that the missing "Six of Bamboo" was stolen by that thief fox!
Who else but Hedgehog would be so bold, so audacious, so arrogant?!
Fogblade was silent for two seconds, then said, "...Send another small team to the City of Polar Day to keep an eye on Rukia. Don't disturb her. Just have someone keep an eye on any unfamiliar faces she comes into contact with."
After speaking, she paused for a moment, then added, "And there's the peach shortbread from Polar Night City, the pine hazelnuts from Four Seasons City, and the raccoon cubs from Tonton Mountain..."
In the end, even Mistblade started rubbing his temples; there's no end to it, no way to finish talking about it.
...
The alchemy shop in Undercity.
Hufflepuff sat openly by the window reading a book. The cover was that of "Falling in Love with Alchemy, Like Falling in Love with You," but the inside had long been replaced with the 18th volume of "Moonlight Potion: The Key to Alchemy."
She glanced at the fox tail peeking out from the street corner and scoffed inwardly. How could she possibly make such a basic mistake? Especially during such a sensitive time, she was even less likely to go into seclusion.
That's practically equivalent to telling Fogblade directly that he's gotten something good.
She simply doesn't have the energy to teach Yu Xunge right now.
Just as he was thinking about Yu Xunge, a figure appeared by the window.
A hooded necromancer looked down at the book in Hufflepuff's hands: "Hello, do you also like this epic masterpiece?"
Hufflepuff used his skill to check the opponent's name—[Lauckvenla].
Hufflepuff: "...Get in here right now."
Laukwenla: "Okay."
Yu Xunge immediately rolled into the shop and sat down next to Hedgehog.
She said, "Teacher, I only have 20 minutes left."
Hedgehog pulled a notebook from under the table and handed it to her: "These are the herb processing techniques needed for [Melting Time]. Take them back and study them on your own."
Self-taught? You used to get one-on-one tutoring!
Yu Xunge took the notebook with a strange expression: "Teacher, I didn't expect our relationship to fade so quickly."
Hufflepuff turned a page of his book without batting an eye: "Mistblade will definitely send someone to watch me. If you're not afraid, then come on."
Yu Xunge received the notes and stood up: "Teacher, I have something to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."
Hedgehog sneered and said, "I didn't expect our relationship to fade so quickly."
Yu Xunge: "Look, you're in a hurry again."
Hedgehog: ?
Yu Xunge was once again thrown out of the alchemy shop by a wine bottle.
She went straight to the auction house, checked to see if they had the S-rank skill she wanted, and when she found none, she left without hesitation.
Use the teleportation array to return to As City, then become invisible—use Phantom Shift—move all the way to the crater—and return to Blue Star.
It was a bit troublesome, but because of Phantom Teleportation, the trouble was still within Yu Xunge's acceptable range.
It used to only take 3 minutes to get to the alchemy shop, just a few steps from the restaurant. Now, you have to go all the way from the seabed and take a teleportation array, which takes at least 8 minutes. More importantly, the travel fee alone costs 5 gold coins.
But for Yu Xunge, this trouble was worthwhile, because the volcano made her feel much safer than the restaurant.
