Compared to seeing it through a screen, the real feeling is much more direct; it's excessively luxurious.

Shichen didn't need to wander aimlessly; he followed the presence he sensed, heading in a certain direction, and stepped onto the corridor.

The journey was quiet; there were no footsteps, and naturally, no human presence.

This mansion, including Parker, originally housed only six people.

Thinking of that guy who liked to play the clown, Shi Chen didn't need to worry about anything and swaggered around.

But after walking for a while, he realized something was wrong. The scene seemed to have remained unchanged, and the paintings on the wall were all exactly the same.

But he did not sense any fluctuations in space.

Then it can only be a government agency.

Meeting that drill-wielding elf girl doesn't seem to be so easy, but that won't stop him.

Shi Chen looked at the door not far ahead, walked over, grabbed the doorknob, and used his spatial power as he turned it.

"Who's bothering Chen so early in the morning...?"

"Ok?"

In the library filled with books, the curly-haired girl who had been staring at the time was now stunned.

The library room wasn't large, not even as big as the guest room where he slept. Ceiling-high bookshelves occupied the entire space, and the books on the shelves were neatly arranged, with an estimated number of books.

But Shi Chen had no time to care about any of that. He hadn't misheard; the girl in front of him had just called his name!

At that moment, the engraving on the back of Shichen's hand flashed with light, and then Esther appeared beside him, took his hand, and looked at the girl.

"Betty," Esther whispered, uttering the name of the girl in the library.

“Este…” Betty called out Esther’s name, her eyes glazed over, her expression belying her appearance.

The two know each other!

Under normal circumstances, this is impossible!

Although both are elves, they are not elves from the same world.

“Yes, we’ve come to find you.” Esther nodded.

“You’ve finally come to find me…” Tears welled up in Betty’s eyes.

"Betty..." Shi Chen called the girl's name softly.

He already knew her, but now it seems he knew her more than just through a screen.

After all, she knew her.

Just like Esther!

Given Esther's precedent, Shi Chen wasn't too surprised, and at this moment he understood why "she" wanted him to bring Esther along.

"Yes, it's me." Betty nodded vigorously.

"What should I say at this point? Long time no see? Or have you been waiting for me?" Shi Chen smiled.

"Is this what you're asking me as soon as you come in? Chen, shouldn't you follow your heart and do what you're supposed to do?" Betty puffed out her cheeks in dissatisfaction and opened her arms to him.

Shichen understood Betty's meaning, released Esther, and slowly walked towards her with his arms outstretched.

When he walked up to Betty, she couldn't resist and threw herself into his arms.

"Chen! You finally came to pick me up! I missed you so much! We're finally reunited!"

Betty hugged Shichen tightly, burying her face in his chest, and cried tears of joy.

Shi Chen immediately felt his chest damp. He put one arm around her back and pressed the back of her head with the other, his voice gentle and apologetic: "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

At this point, there's no need to ask her what happened or what went wrong; you just need to respond to her expectations.

"Hmm! I've waited four hundred years! But as long as you can come, it's all worth the wait!" Betty looked up, her eyes brimming with tears, but her face was full of smiles.

"Four hundred years... You've cried so much your face is all messed up. Isn't that a waste of your lovely face? Come on, give me a smile." Shi Chen wiped away her tears.

“Betty is still cute even when she cries, but since Chen said that about the painting, I’ll just smile.” Betty said proudly, forcing out a cute smile.

"This is the right thing to do."

Shi Chen laughed. Only by seeing it with his own eyes could he understand how cute Betty was. Her petite face was incredibly delicate, and her skin was smooth, soft, and plump.

She looked about the same age as Ilya and the others, but her features were already quite mature, like that of an eleven or twelve-year-old. Her luxurious dress was adorned with lots of lace, making her look like a doll.

This outfit really suits her lovely face.

Her light cream-colored hair was long and permed into long European-style curls. She tilted her head back, staring expectantly at the time. Although there were tear stains on her face, she had a smile on her face. His heart was about to melt at her cuteness.

Betty, also known as Beatrice, is an artificial giant elf who is over four hundred years old.

“Chen…” Betty wrapped her arms around Shi Chen’s neck, her eyes filled with undisguised joy.

"You should make your travel plans."

"An agreement?" Shi Chen blinked, looking at her with a puzzled expression.

"You promised me that when we met again, you would kiss me as a reunion gift."

"...Kiss you? Really?" Shi Chen frowned, his expression strange.

"Really! Esther can testify!"

Shi Chen looked at Esther and saw her calmly nod.

"..."

He was still a little skeptical.

Even if Betty is over four hundred years old, he shouldn't have made such a promise.

"Chen... are you going to cheat?" Betty pouted unhappily.

"It's impossible for me to cheat, but let me ask you a question first."

"What? Ask quickly!" Betty urged impatiently.

"You just said you've been waiting for me for four hundred years, right?"

"Ok!"

"Did we meet more than four hundred years ago?"

"Hmm... I guess I've met him before," Betty replied after thinking for a moment.

What does "calculate" mean?

“I know what you want to ask, Chen. In this world, this is our first time meeting,” Betty explained.

“This time… I see.” Shi Chen nodded.

According to Betty, she should have memories of the "past," just like Esther, instead of the fact that he traveled back four hundred years and met her.

Esther knows many people, but none of them have memories of her, except for Betty.

"Alright! Chen, stop overthinking it and hurry up and make the travel promise!" Betty urged impatiently, then turned her head to face him.

"Hmm? You mean a kiss on the cheek?" Shi Chen raised an eyebrow.

"Yes, you promised!" Betty said seriously, afraid that Shichen would change his mind.

"So it was a kiss on the cheek..." Shi Chen breathed a sigh of relief, but was also a little disappointed.

"It's not about kissing on the cheek... um! If Chen wants, we can do it." Betty understood what he meant and became embarrassed, her cheeks flushing red.

"No... let's kiss on the cheek instead." Shi Chen refused righteously.

"Tch~ Chen, why are you still the same as before? You treat me like this." Betty pouted in dissatisfaction.

What was my attitude before?

“You used to… Hmph~ My sister said she couldn’t tell you.” Betty realized what she was saying and immediately changed her mind.

"Sister...the sister you're talking about, could it be the same sister that Esther mentioned?"

"Of course, my sister is all alone."

"..."

It's "her" again!

Why do you always play riddles without telling him the truth?

What's there to hide?

"What are you hiding?" Shi Chen couldn't help but ask "her".

[It's nothing serious, I just want you to collect the fragments of divinity properly.] She actually responded.

[Couldn't you have told me that this would have made me feel more at ease collecting the godhood fragments?]

[Whether I tell you or not makes no difference, and besides, it wasn't you who said it. Do you want to find out my identity yourself?]

[...You just wait. Once I find out your identity, I'll show you what I'm capable of.]

[Okay, I'll be waiting for you. You can do whatever you want then.]

[......]

"Chen! What are you doing? Why are you spacing out? Are you not planning to cancel the trip?" Betty urged Chen again when she saw him lost in thought.

"Oh...it's just a promise, I'll definitely go."

Shi Chen snapped out of his daze, leaned closer to Betty, and kissed her on her rosy cheeks.

“And this side too.” Betty turned her face to him.

There was no ink mark on the time, and then another smack.

It's bouncy and chewy, just like pudding.

"Hehe~"

Betty smiled with satisfaction, then looked at Esther triumphantly and boasted, "Esther, see? This is how much Chen likes me."

Esther said expressionlessly, "What's the big deal? Brother Chen holds me while I sleep every day and massages me to help me develop, without any clothes between us~"

"W-what?!" Betty's eyes widened in surprise.
