She sniffed and suddenly looked up.

Looking at Weiming sitting opposite her, and then glancing at Ais, Shubi, and Krul who was leaning back in his chair with his arms crossed, her cheeks felt a little hot.

“I know…and I have new friends now. They…”

"We understand."

Wei Ming picked up the teacup and took a small sip. The tea was refreshing, yet it left a sweet aftertaste on his tongue.

“Your Wilhelmina is more insightful than you think.”

He raised an eyebrow and smiled at Wilhelmina.

Although the latter did not respond, a barely perceptible warmth flashed in his eyes.

Wilhelmina stood up and nodded slightly to Wei Ming and the others: "It's getting late. Although the Heavenly Dao Palace is simple, please rest for the night. I will prepare guest rooms."

...

The night was as dark as ink, staining the Heavenly Palace that floated above the sea of ​​clouds.

As Weiming soaked in the bath, the rising steam blurred the ancient runes carved on the surrounding stone walls.

Hot water soaked over her collarbone.

He squinted contentedly, when he suddenly heard the sound of the wooden door being gently pushed open.

"Wei Mingjun, let us help you scrub your back."

Ais's voice was moist with moisture.

Behind her followed Shubi, who was holding a towel. The silver-haired girl's eyes shimmered with a soft red light in the steam.

Wei Ming raised an eyebrow as he watched the two enter.

Ais's blonde hair clung wetly to her neck, and water droplets slid down her smooth back.

Hugh, meanwhile, precisely calculated the water temperature and angle, and placed a warm towel over his shoulder.

The moment her fingertips touched her skin, Ais was pulled into a tight embrace.

Shubi's robotic arm paused for a moment, then moved closer, the warmth of the metal and skin mingling in the steam.

The sound of water in the bathroom was gradually drowned out by breathing.

Weiming pressed his forehead against Ais's, looking into her blue eyes, which were glistening with tears from her emotions.

Then he kissed Hugh.

The mechanical girl's body was initially somewhat stiff.

He quickly reassured her and she relaxed; her meticulous calculations, driven by instinct, transformed into a physical entanglement.

……

Shana was standing outside the unknown door.

She clutched the hem of her clothes, hesitated for a long time before finally mustering the courage to raise her hand.

She wanted to thank Weiming properly again.

Not only for Alastor's sake, but also for his restoration of the Heavenly Palace and bringing her back to see Wilhelmina.

But his fingers were just about to touch the door panel.

A strange noise escaped through the crack in the door.

"Ok?"

The sound was faint and indistinct, revealing a primal quality.

"Has an enemy invaded the Heavenly Dao Palace?"

Shana frowned and warily drew her knife.

He opened the door and cautiously approached.

She approached the bathroom that connected to the inner room step by step.

She gradually saw and gradually heard.

My cheeks suddenly burned all the way to my ears.

The image of Wei Ming teasing him during the day flashed through his mind, as well as the undisguised dependence that Ais and Shubi showed when they looked at him.

Those eye contact that she had deliberately ignored now exploded before her eyes like an infinite shock.

The door was not closed.

Warm yellow light shone through the gaps, and one could vaguely see the rising steam mingling with the light.

"!!!"

Shana's heart pounded wildly, as if it were about to burst out of her chest.

She had never seen such a scene before.

She never expected it to happen to someone she knew.

A deep laugh mixed with the sound of water came, clearly hitting her ears and making all the blood rush to her head.

"ah--!"

She screamed, but then quickly covered her mouth as soon as the sound left her lips.

Almost instinctively, she turned and ran, her feet feeling like they were stepping on cotton, stumbling and falling as she rushed out of the room.

However, the commotion behind her seemed to be chasing her, making her wish she could immediately transform into wings of fire and escape to the ends of the earth.

Stop when you reach the end of the corridor.

She was shocked to realize that her cheeks were burning hot, as if she were being scorched from head to toe by a raging inferno, and even the strands of her hair seemed to be steaming.

At the same time, Wei Ming paused, then smiled helplessly.

Ais's cheeks were flushed.

Shubi calmly analyzed: "The sound waves detected Miss Shana's exclamation, about five meters away, and she is currently moving away at high speed."

"See? I scared the little guy away."

Weiming pinched Ais's chin and then ruffled Shubi's silver hair. 520 "Never mind, let her be."

Ais and Shubi exchanged a glance, both seeing composure in each other's eyes.

In their own worlds, the expression of emotions is straightforward, and they don't see anything wrong with it.

……

The next morning.

The farewell came unusually quietly.

Shana hid behind Wilhelmina, only showing half of her flushed face, refusing to look at Weiming no matter what.

Krul crossed his arms and glared at Weiming with annoyance.

“You woke up all the night owls in the entire Heavenly Dao Palace yesterday.”

She was utterly speechless next door.

Wei Ming simply shrugged, his smile carrying a deeper meaning.

Wilhelmina led the group to the edge of the misty platform and nodded to Weiming once again.

"I will never forget your kindness."

"a piece of cake."

Wei Ming waved his hand dismissively.

Suddenly remembering something, he took out a red sphere the size of a fist from the void.

The surface of the sphere was covered with fine golden runes, like solidified flames flickering slightly.

He handed the ball to Shana, his smile carrying a hint of mystery.

"Here, consider this a parting gift. There's a surprise inside; you never know when you might need it."

Shana hesitated before taking the red ball.

It feels warm to the touch, and you can feel the slight pulsation of the runes in your palm.

She looked up in confusion, about to ask something, when she saw Wei Ming snap his fingers.

A flash of white light, and the figures of Weiming, Ais, Shubi, and Krul vanished from their spot, leaving only an empty platform and the whistling wind.
