"Knock knock knock~~"
Yun Si Ning knocked on the door politely.
There was no response.
"Knock knock knock~~~"
She knocked again, but there was still no response.
"Um?"
Yun Si Ning tilted her head in confusion.
What is she doing?
"Won't……"
Upon realizing that possibility, Yun Sining's eyes widened in shock.
"No way, is it that addictive?"
"If she really is doing that..."
With a loud "bang," Yun Si Ning pushed the door open.
"What are you doing? Put your pants on!"
She shouted, but then froze.
The little girl sat quietly on the edge of the bed, engrossed in reading a book.
"Huh?"
Yun Si Ning was stunned. There was no gold miner as she had imagined, and everything seemed normal at the moment.
The little girl looked up at Yun Si Ning, who had rushed in.
"You're here, why are you shouting so loudly?"
"Uh, no...it's nothing."
Yun Si Ning scratched her head awkwardly and stepped forward to look curiously at the scroll in Hua Lu's hand.
What are you looking at?
"Yes, it's the storybook that the girl named Leng Chan found for me. It's quite interesting."
When Yun Si Ning took a look, she discovered that it really was just a children's storybook, the kind with both text and pictures.
"You're looking at this so seriously?"
Her lips twitched.
"Furthermore, why would Leng Chan have such a book?"
"I have nothing to do, and there's nothing interesting to do on this flying ship of yours. My cultivation has also been sealed, so I can't even cultivate."
Hua Lu shrugged.
"I've lived this long, and this is the first time I haven't cultivated for such a long time. It feels quite strange."
"you……"
Yun Si Ning was speechless for a moment. She always felt that Hua Lu seemed to have become a completely different person after she treated her that way.
She seemed to have transformed from a ruthless killer into a completely indifferent and lazy person, as if nothing concerned her anymore.
"Speaking of which..."
Hua Lu put down the storybook in her hand and looked up at Yun Si Ning.
"You knocked me unconscious before, did you use my body to do something?"
"Hey, hey, hey, explain yourself clearly! What you're saying is ambiguous!"
Hua Lu rolled her eyes at her.
What do you think about all day?
"I...did knock you out, but that was to deal with Li Caiqi."
"Hmph, I knew it."
Hua Lu pouted.
“You are a devil, to think of using the restriction that divine messengers cannot attack each other to deal with him.”
"Hehehe, my brain is still pretty smart, huh?"
Yun Si Ning said shyly.
Hua Lu's eyes grew even more melancholy, and she sighed.
"That's true. After all, you can come up with such inhuman methods, so this doesn't seem like much."
She leaned against the bed, looking Yun Si Ning up and down.
Yun Si Ning felt a little uncomfortable being stared at, so she sat down opposite her.
Aren't you curious about Li Caiqi's situation?
"Is that even a question? He can't beat you."
Hua Lu said with exceptional certainty.
"With all your scheming, Li Caiqi must have been in a lot of despair before he died."
Yun Si Ning thought about it and realized that what she said was true; Li Caiqi's appearance before she died was indeed like that.
“You are all messengers of the gods, yet you don’t even show him any sympathy.”
"Hehe, I wouldn't."
"That guy is a bastard. I don't know what the Grand Steward sees in him that makes him value him so much."
"You... you harbor such a deep resentment towards him..."
"snort."
Hua Lu gave a soft hum.
"Besides being more cunning and scheming than me, how can Li Caiqi compare to me?"
"Well... maybe it's because of these two points that he was given an important position."
Yun Si Ning wanted to say that Li Caiqi wasn't as clueless as her, but she held back.
"Let's not talk about that. Are you here to seize my divine authority?"
You know?
"Tch, you've absorbed Li Caiqi's power, so your eagerness to find me can't be anything good."
"Aren't you angry that I've taken away your power like this?"
Hua Lu shrugged, her face completely indifferent.
"Anyway, given my current state, this power will be yours sooner or later."
"Actually, I wasn't that angry."
She gently twirled her hair with her hand, her eyes sparkling.
"You didn't kill me and seize the divine power directly, but waited until after dealing with Li Caiqi, just to spare my life."
"Actually, I only did this because I thought you were still useful, and it would be a waste to kill you..."
Yun Sining said somewhat awkwardly.
Hua Lu subconsciously clenched her fists and glared at Yun Si Ning.
"Don't lie to me. If you just kill me and take my abilities, it will be much easier to deal with Li Caiqi. You won't have to pay such a high price."
"Well... okay."
Yun Si Ning admitted that she indeed couldn't bear to kill Hua Lu.
It wasn't for any other reason than that she found this guy adorably naive, and she felt a little sorry for him.
"Alright, stop talking nonsense."
Hua Lu stopped speaking and simply closed her eyes.
She spread her arms wide, striking a pose as if she were bravely facing her death.
"Come on, I'm ready!"
"Ah, this..."
"I'm telling you, you're acting really strange, like I'm about to do something to you. Your senior sister will definitely misunderstand if she sees this!"
