Chapter 136: The Fragrance of the Handsome Guy

Black Pearl thought she would never wake up again after this sleep. She could feel her body gradually slipping away from her control, and her perception of the outside world became increasingly blurred. It became increasingly difficult for her to wake up from the darkness...

She thought she was going to die completely.

But she woke up.

It's easy.

Just like waking up from sleep every morning, still sleepy, bathing in the sunlight that has not yet become scorching, and waking up in the slightly cool breeze.

Black Pearl blinked her eyes, and it took her a while to come back to her senses from her uneasy daze. She suddenly sat up from the carpet, and the black cloak she was wearing slipped off her shoulders. It was clearly just black cloth, but it sparkled with starlight in the warm golden sunlight.

——These are not her clothes.

Before she could escape from the darkness, she heard a very pleasant voice whispering in her ear... She could no longer remember what the voice said, she only knew that it was very gentle... It was like going back to a long time ago, when she was just a carefree child.

Is that the one who was talking in her ear?

Is it the person who saved her?

Black Pearl stood up holding the cloak that was shining with starlight. It was only when she stood up that she suddenly discovered that there was a silver-white ball of light swaying in the sunlight.

This silver ball of light seemed to be alive. When it saw her, it immediately flew towards her.

Before Black Pearl could raise her hand to block it, a line of dialogue suddenly appeared in her mind.

The ball of light was asking her that the man who tried to snatch her away had been arrested and taken to the underworld according to the law. She was the victim, and the man's fate would depend on her attitude.

Simply put,

[Do you want him to receive the punishment he deserves? ]

A dim voice asked in her mind.

In fact, asking this question is just a formality, mainly to inform the victim that he is already in the underworld.

The underworld? So there are eighteen levels of hell?

Black Pearl answered without thinking: "Yes!"

How could she not want him dead? She wanted to eat him alive, for herself, and for those tribesmen and subordinates who died tragically at his hands!

[OK, your wish has been received and is being forwarded...]

The silvery ball of light is like a responsible after-sales service staff, speaking softly and swaying to divert the attention of people in front of it.

Too strong emotions will put a certain burden on the body, so keeping calm can really prolong your life.

Less than ten seconds later, a message came from the other side. The silver-white ball of light flashed for a moment, and in Black Pearl's vigilant, nervous and expectant eyes, it said: "Hello, Ms. Black Pearl, your request has been approved - the person who stole the body has been thrown into the eighteenth level of purgatory. The specific time and degree of punishment are determined by the crime value. After serving his sentence, he will be sent to the hungry ghost world to reflect on his life."

【That’s all.】

The silvery-white ball of light circled around the somewhat dazed Black Pearl, as if it was checking whether her body had fully recovered. After getting accurate data, it flashed a few times with satisfaction and said, "Ms. Black Pearl, your body has recovered to its healthy values. Please don't worry. I wish you a happy life."

After saying that, a strong light suddenly burst out from its round body. Its black pearls were caught off guard by the flash, but it didn't feel any discomfort at all when looking directly at the strong light.

After a few moments, Black Pearl opened her eyes again, and the silver-white ball of light was no longer in front of her. It seemed as if everything that had just happened was just a dream.

But she knew it was not a dream.

That despicable man really disappeared from her body, and the long-lost relaxation and joy once again filled her every limb.

Black Pearl looked at the black cloak in her arms and couldn't help but let a relieved smile appear on her face.

Very good.

She sighed in her heart.

There actually are gods in this world who overlook the world and protect the human world.

…

The "god" who does good deeds without leaving his name has already reached the inn at the edge of the desert.

Although he said that the mature Son of Fortune had excellent ability to handle things, Tarona never thought of getting it for free.

Chu Liuxiang went into the desert just to find Su Rongrong and the others. Now that the [Fatal Coral] has been recovered, there are no additional uncertain factors that will cause unknown negative impacts. If they set out again, they will achieve their goal smoothly.

But why should we let them suffer in the desert any longer?

It's just a matter of convenience.

So the next morning, Chu Liuxiang got himself ready by the lake. When he looked up, he saw three familiar faces waving at him.

"Brother Chu!"

Song Tianer was so happy that she almost jumped up. Su Rongrong and Li Hongxiu chased after her with their skirts lifted up, and they couldn't hide the smiles on their faces.

Chu Liuxiang was stunned for a moment, then stood up quickly. Without even having time to wipe the water off his face, he simply gathered his energy and practiced his internal energy, passing over the lake like a cloud.

The four of them hugged each other happily, as if they were reunited after a long separation.

They had only been separated for about ten days, but when they met again, it felt like many years had passed.

Song Tianer and Li Hongxiu buried themselves in Chu Liuxiang's arms and sobbed. Su Rongrong, who was leaning on his shoulder, also couldn't hide her tears.

Chu Liuxiang wasn't much better.

He was still feeling lost last night, and couldn't stop worrying about the safety of the three people, fearing that if he was a step too late, they would get hurt.

Who would have thought...

Suddenly, he realized something and looked forward.

The black-haired beauty in a misty fairy dress stood quietly on the sparse grass, her silver-gray eyes still as calm as when she first saw him. When she saw him finally looking at her, she raised her hand and waved to him.

Pop.

Something seemed to be broken.

Chu Liuxiang suddenly took a deep breath, and the feeling of oppression that had been tightening in his heart since entering the desert disappeared.

He originally thought that he was too worried about Rongrong and the others, but now it seems that it is not the case.

The black-haired beauty named Doris smiled brightly in the gradually scorching sunlight. The hot wind blew her seaweed-like long hair. This place was originally a dry desert, but it made people feel as if they had fallen into the deep sea.

Chu Liuxiang could not help but close his eyes. When he opened his eyes again, the sound of waves that echoed in his ears disappeared in an instant, and the black-haired beauty standing in the sun also disappeared like foam.

He had a vague understanding.

His meeting with Doris on the sea was just a coincidence. If it were at another time, they might not have met.

"Chu Liuxiang!"

Hu Tiehua and Ji Bingyan chased after them. They were far away just now, so it took them some time to run over.

In view of the girls being here, Hu Tiehua decided to save some face for his brother. After greeting Su Rongrong and the other two, he looked around and said, "Where is Miss Doris? I just saw her there."

As he asked, he pointed to the sand dunes not far away and looked at Ji Bingyan, "You saw it just now, too, right?"

Ji Bingyan nodded without saying anything.

Guess which one of the three of them is still unaware of Miss Doris's identity?

Miss Doris?

Su Rongrong and the other two also looked at the sand dunes not far away. They were used to the fact that other women would often appear around Chu Liuxiang.

They didn't care about the other women at the moment. They just took a quick look and didn't ask any questions when they didn't see anyone. They had more important questions that they wanted to ask Chu Liuxiang for help.

They got here in the blink of an eye.

One moment they were waiting in the inn, the next moment they appeared in this oasis, and as soon as they looked up they saw the person they had been waiting for.

They had never heard of such a miraculous thing, let alone imagined that it would happen to them one day, so they urgently needed the person they trusted the most.

Chu Liuxiang comforted them patiently. His biggest worry was resolved. He felt relieved at this moment. The troubles that had come to him yesterday became insignificant.

Xiang Shuai turned around and looked at his brother who was always careless and didn't think. He smiled mysteriously and said, "Of course, he went home after finishing his work."

Where did Miss Doris go?

Coming from the sea, we will naturally return to the sea.

…

The speed at which Tarona returned this time stunned Levière: "Officer Tarona, you're back so soon?"

It's only been a few days? Is this a good start?

Tarona held Seth, who had changed her appearance, and handed her the report with a smile: "I happened to meet the son of luck and took a ride with him."

This time it was really a coincidence, the timing was just right, just in time for the beginning of the next big event, and she didn't have to think of other ways to "accidentally meet" the son of luck.

I hope all future missions can be so coincidental.

Levière nodded in understanding. She reached out to take the report. When she lowered her head, she saw the black cat lying in Talona's arms, seemingly thinking about life.

Le Verrier: ...

Levitra paused for a moment and said hesitantly: "Agent Ta, you know the operator manual. You can't bring back the lives of the mission world..."

At this point, she suddenly realized something, and her eyes, like the growth rings of a big tree, shrank in shock: "Eh, no! You are Seth?!"

Seth folded his paws modestly, blinked his beautiful green eyes, and without opening his mouth, his voice came out naturally: "Good afternoon, Miss Le Verrier."

It takes time for an intelligent life form to develop its emotions. The newly born Seth obviously has no idea what social idiocy and shyness mean. Despite his cute mimicry, he still behaves like a calm and elegant gentleman when he opens his mouth.

Le Verrier opened his mouth in great surprise.

When it left, it was in human form, but how come it turned into a cute cat when it came back?

Seeing her so surprised, Tarona smiled as if he had succeeded in his prank, and in a few words told her about the bet he had made with Seth.

This witch who always likes to find some fun in life doesn't think it's childish to trick a newly born intelligent life form. She is very happy and thinks she can continue next time.

Seth licked his paw. "Thank you, Miss Ta."

Suffering a loss is not a blessing, so he will not fall into the same pit twice.

and--

"You should go for a checkup."

Tarona, who was smiling happily just now:...

whee?

No hehe.

Tarona went to the psychology department with a dull look on her face, like an eggplant hit by frost. She looked at the familiar doctor on duty, and the doctor looked at her, and the two of them looked at each other in silence.

After a while, the doctor on duty stretched out his hair, rolled up a new test and placed it in front of Tarona. He was also very considerate and unscrewed a new pen for the patient.

patient:……

The patient thanked with a blank face, took the test and pen, and started working on it.

An hour later, Tarona left the psychological department again with a bag of drinking medicine. Her eyes were lifeless, and she looked like a ghost who had lost all attachment to life.

After submitting the report, Seth looked at her like this and wagged his tail guiltily.

So Miss Ta doesn't like seeing a doctor?

He should have been more tactful.

Before Seth could figure out how to comfort his temporary partner, Tarona, who had stuffed the drinking medicine into his personal space, took three steps forward, picked him up from the flower bed, and then sprinted into the teleportation array.

The great witch, whose face just now was full of "There is nothing to care about in this world, it is better to return home", "accidentally" met Xiang Liujing who had just returned from a mission, and with shining eyes, she slaughtered him like a rich dog.

Seth: …

Seth:…………

Forget it, Theseus is right. In most cases, Miss Ta doesn't need anyone's comfort.

The newly born intelligent life swallowed the words of comfort that were about to come to his mouth, and decided to be a quiet cat.

After resting for a few days, Tarona, who had finished the last packet of medicine, was confirmed to have recovered. She was in a very good mood and went to work humming a song.

Levière shared a new cake with her and called up the mission data, saying, "Ms. Ta, this is your last mission. The ratings of the previous five missions have been reduced to A+."

As she spoke, she moved the screen over for Tarona to take a look.

Five A+s were displayed side by side in the first row, and the Big Witch couldn't help but smile.

Seth squatted on the folded arms of his temporary partner, looking at the five A+s with a hint of desire in his eyes.

He and his partner Miss Tianqi had just joined the company and were still pure rookies, so their mission ratings were generally only B-level, with A-level being rare.

To put it bluntly, they still lack the ability to deal with emergencies. Even with Theseus' experience as a basis, they can often only talk on paper.

This is the difference between veteran and rookie staff. Veteran staff have experienced a lot, so no matter how unexpected the situation is, they will not panic. They can always find a way to solve the problem properly. If they really can't, they can still defeat the new staff with their own strength.

Miss Ta is undoubtedly a typical example of the latter, and so is the Xiangliu cadre I met that day.

Whenever there is an unexpected event beyond the mission or plan, they always choose to use a force more powerful than the unexpected event to nip it in the bud.

Accidents are not part of the mission or plan, and as long as they do not affect the stability of the world, they can all be killed.

This is how they pass on their experience to the younger generations.

Seth and Tianqi both agree with this, but they cannot use this method yet because their strength does not allow it. Therefore, his partner is now thinking about how to become stronger in his dreams.

Being able to do everything without missing out is impressive, but being able to defeat ten with one's strength is even cooler!

Very suitable for young people like them!

The four-digit-aged witch: …

You better not be picking on anyone.

Seth & Tianqi: Alas, today is also a day for Wang Qiang to sigh.

Levière continued, "Originally, there were nine missions in the series, but since you and another officer had to swap your missions due to an accident, after discussion, the deputy director decided to reduce the number of your missions to six... Of course, the final reward will be calculated based on nine worlds."

The purpose of reducing the number of missions is to lower the probability of accidents, mainly because the two operators may fail to adapt to the new mission world.

The mission must be completed, but this completion must be based on the safety of the agents. If the safety of the agents cannot be guaranteed, the Space-Time Balance Bureau will choose to terminate the mission.

Fortunately, up to now, no life-threatening accidents have occurred to the two officers who have exchanged tasks.

Tarona was very satisfied with this decision. She had three fewer tasks to complete, but her reward did not decrease. She was very satisfied.

Seeing that she had no objection, Le Verrier sent Seth the information about the last world.

When activating the new vest card, Tarona suddenly put Seth on the front stage and made a wait gesture to Levière.

Wait for her to take a bite.

The witch took out a beautiful crystal ball and asked the same old question.

The sparkling star dust crystals flipped over and over like a whirlwind for several times, and suddenly turned into a nebula that was a blend of gold and dark brown. A "star" the size of a green bean slowly lit up in the center of the nebula.

Tarona looked at it for a while, then put the crystal ball that had already given the answer back into the space.

She looked at the several SSR cards lined up in a row, pondered for a moment, and selected the vest card to be used for this mission.

On the gilded card, a silver-haired beauty wearing a long dress woven of moonlight and starlight, a star ring on her head, and with the shimmering galaxy wrapped around her arms, slowly opened her eyes, revealing to the world the smallest starry sky and ocean in the world.

This is——

【The Witch of Thousand Gold】.
