As soon as Meng Qingyin teleported back to the train, she met Ye Taohua's listless eyes through the window. He also had thick dark circles under his eyes, making him look ugly and haggard in his Night Demon form.
Meng Qingyin called out loudly, "Ye Taohua, what's wrong?"
Night Peach Blossom slowly looked up.
The little one nuzzled against Meng Qingyin affectionately, "Master, why were you gone for so long? They can't come into the car, probably because it's too hot outside."
Meng Qingyin expressed doubt about this. If it was too hot, why weren't Ye Lihua and Ye Kugua looking so haggard?
And she remembered that the Night Demon wasn't afraid of the heat.
The night peach blossoms seemed to have aged decades in an instant, slowly approaching the train, though of course they couldn't get too close.
Upon closer inspection, Meng Qingyin noticed that his eyes were bloodshot.
Night Peach Blossom yawned and then burst into tears: "...My lord, you're finally back! You have no idea what I've been through these past few days!"
Meng Qingyin hurriedly asked, "I'm back. Did someone bully you?"
That shouldn't be the case. Most players don't hate Night Demon anymore, so who would bully Night Peach Blossom?
Night Peach Blossom squatted on the ground and began to pour out her grievances: "That deputy leader, he's really inhuman! He's so bored in the Holy Tower that he's practically growing moss, and you're not here, so he has a lot of complaints to vent, and I've become his confidant. He communicates with me mindlessly day and night, and I've slept less than three hours in total these past few days! The worst part is that he only targets me. If you don't come back soon, I'm going to die young!"
Meng Qingyin: "...Ye Yingjun really went too far. How could he not let people sleep? I'll talk to him about it later."
However, she was also a little curious, "Why doesn't he bother Ye Lihua and the others?"
Night Peach Blossom resentfully cried out, "Because he remembered my name!"
Meng Qingyin: "..." Indeed, this is something Ye Yingjun would do.
"I'll go talk to him later, he's gone too far!" Meng Qingyin said, emphasizing her words.
Night Peach Blossom was so moved that her eyes welled up with tears: "It's all worth it for me to follow you in this life!"
"..."
The next moment, Night Peach Blossom closed her eyes in pain: "The deputy leader is bothering me again..."
Good heavens, he's going crazy! Only five minutes have passed since the two of them finished their last exchange!
Can I not answer the call?
Meng Qingyin felt very sorry for his situation: "If you don't want to answer, then don't. I'll make the decision for you."
Ye Taohua immediately straightened up and consciously refused to answer Ye Yingjun's call request.
After refusing, he felt a little guilty. "Won't the deputy leader be angry?"
Meng Qingyin: "I'll go say hello to Qingfeng and Qin Feng, and then I'll head to the Tower of Babel. Don't worry, Ye Yingjun won't cause you any trouble."
"Having you as the leader of the Night Demon Clan is truly a blessing for all of us Night Demons!" Night Peach Blossom wanted to kneel down and kowtow to Meng Qingyin.
Meng Qingyin's eyes twitched, and she strode towards the planting room. The forging room and the planting room were right next to each other, and when the carriage doors opened, you could see both carriages clearly from the doorway of the planting room.
In the planting room, Qingfeng was pruning the branches of the Lucky Fruit, while the farmer, Golden Monkey Yuanbao, perched on her shoulder and imitated Qingfeng by tugging at the side shoots.
Inside the forging room, Qin Feng was writing and drawing with his head down.
Meng Qingyin coughed lightly, breaking the silence: "Qingfeng. Qin Feng, I'm back."
Qingfeng rushed over and hugged her with great joy: "I've finally waited for you to come back! If you hadn't come back, you would have missed the ripening of the Fortune Fruit."
Qin Feng's reaction was relatively calm. She nodded slightly to Meng Qingyin and then continued writing and drawing.
Meng Qingyin asked Qingfeng, "Are the Fortune Fruits about to ripen?"
Qingfeng: "Yes, we can start picking them first thing tomorrow morning."
Meng Qingyin glanced at the time; it was afternoon, and there were still more than ten hours to go.
She wasn't in a hurry. "I'm going to the Tower of Babel in a bit, and I'll let you know when I get back."
Qingfeng nodded: "Go ahead, go ahead. You have your own important things to do, I know."
Meng Qingyin: "..." Actually, this wasn't really a serious matter.
She thought for a moment, asked Fei Qiu for something, then let Chen Leying and the others know she was safe before turning and leaving.
Inside the Tower of Babel, Ye Yingjun was so angry his nose almost twisted.
Night Peach Blossom actually dared to refuse his call!
Undeterred, he continued to send call requests to Ye Taohua, only to be ruthlessly rejected once again!
Ye Yingjun almost ground his back teeth to powder.
"Why are you looking so bitter and resentful?" Meng Qingyin walked over slowly.
"You finally came to see me!" Ye Yingjun was overjoyed, but then a wave of deep grievance washed over him. He complained, "You promised you would often chat with me to cheer me up, but you haven't come even once these past few days!"
Meng Qingyin explained, "I went to Pinggu Star."
"Where you went is no excuse for not coming to find me..." Ye Yingjun suddenly realized, his eyes widening in disbelief, "You went to Pinggu Star? Huang Teng's lair?"
Meng Qingyin: "That's right. But to be precise, I only went to the Sea of Hope."
Ye Yingjun asked, puzzled, "Where is the Sea of Hope?"
"The territory of the Merfolk."
Ye Yingjun was even more puzzled. "What were you doing in the Merfolk's territory? Also, the Merfolk have always been mysterious. How did you find their territory?"
Meng Qingyin: "This is a long story, I'll tell you about it later. I want to show you something."
As she spoke, she took out the micro-game pod.
Ye Yingjun stared at it: "What is this? A fish tank? Do you think I'm too bored and want me to keep fish?"
Meng Qingyin: "No, I suspect this thing is related to the Merfolk."
Activating the micro-game pod requires Immaculate Stones, which are derived from the ocean.
Moreover, she only made contact with Jiaoze through a mini-game in the micro-game pod, so she deduced that the game pod was related to the Jiao clan, or at least to Jiaoze.
"Could you sense if there's anything special about this microscopic game pod?" Meng Qingyin said.
Actually, she wasn't sure if Ye Yingjun could sense the anomaly, but it wouldn't hurt to try. If he did sense something, he might be able to get more clues.
In any case, there's no harm in giving it a try.
Ye Yingjun took the microscopic game pod with both hands, closed his eyes, and carefully felt it.
After a moment, he shook his head with some regret: "I can't sense anything unusual. But this thing is a game pod? How do I use it?"
“It needs to be activated with a flawless stone,” Meng Qingyin said casually.
"The Immaculate Stone?" Ye Yingjun's tone suddenly became certain. "Then I'm sure of it, this is something from the Merfolk!"
