At Gu Mingyue's insistence, Gu Mingli reluctantly brought up his system panel.

The long-awaited pink heart-shaped bubbles, accompanied by the cheerful sound effect "buibui," are popping out.

[Congratulations, host! Your 'Decathlon' skill proficiency is maxed out, successfully leveling up to level 2!]

Gu Mingli's lips twitched.

You're the only one who's proficient! Your whole family is proficient at it!

He has given up all hope for this broken system.

What skill upgrade?

It's probably some strange and embarrassing reward again.

[Ding! Reward received: 'Beast Language'!]

Gu Mingli was stunned, then his eyes lit up slightly.

Animal language?

This sounds... like... it seems... quite serious?

If we could communicate with animals without barriers in ancient times, it might come in very handy later on.

For example, imitating Huang Jiaojiao's mannerisms.

He raises a few top-quality homing pigeons so he can send a secret message to his sister anytime, anywhere.

Alternatively, they could recruit a squadron of fierce falcons from beyond the Great Wall to serve as high-altitude reconnaissance troops.

This configuration sounds incredibly cool.

However, just as the flame of hope in his heart was ignited, a detailed user manual mercilessly popped up on the system screen.

[Skill Description: Activating both the "Body Fragrance" and "Alluring Voice" skills from the Decade of All-Around Skills simultaneously can synthesize the "Beast Language" skill.]

[Duration: Depends on the host's stamina.]

Gu Mingli: "..."

After all that, he still has to use those two socially awkward skills from his "Decathlon" skill set that he absolutely hates to activate?!

This system is also related to science and engineering, right?

Do skills require a chemical reaction?

Do two buffs need to be stacked to create a new skill?

Gu Mingyue leaned over for a peek, and after seeing the instructions on the system interface, she couldn't help but sneer so hard her shoulders were shaking.

"Brother... pfft... hahahaha..."

Gu Mingyue laughed for a while before blinking her eyes and looking at her brother cutely.

"How about... you demonstrate this 'beast language' skill to your sister right here?"

"I'd like to see it for myself too."

Gu Mingli glared at her, annoyed.

"Demonstrate what?"

"Oh no, please don't!"

Gu Mingyue continued to egg them on with a smile, never one to miss a good spectacle.

"What if we encounter an emergency in the future and need to use it?"

"This skill looks pretty useful. You should practice it beforehand and see how it works."

"Besides, there are no outsiders here."

Gu Mingli took a deep breath and pinched the bridge of his nose.

Actually, let alone his sister, he himself was also a little curious.

They are itching to make a move.

Oh well, it's late at night anyway, and it's just the two of them in the house.

At most, there are also the six shadow guards outside.

Anyway, he had long lost all authority in the eyes of these guards, so this was just one embarrassing moment.

He silently said "Activate skill" in his mind.

The next moment, a sweet floral fragrance filled the room.

It's neither too strong nor too weak, like the delicate fragrance of orchids after a cool rain.

Gu Mingyue couldn't help but tilt her head back and twitch her nose like a little dog.

"Wow, it smells a bit like that Magnolia Poetry perfume."

The voice just fell.

Six ghostly figures flashed past in the shadows of the trees outside the door and window.

Then came a burst of barely audible whispers.

Yi Wu lowered his voice: "Can you smell it? There's a strange fragrance in the room!"

Yi Shi cautiously peeked her head through the crack in the window: "Let me see... Hmm, it's coming from you, young master."

Er Yi took a deep breath, somewhat surprised: "Young Master, you smell wonderful?"

Er'er followed closely behind: "Young master, you do smell wonderful."

Er San nodded frantically: "Young master, it smells good."

Er Si: "Fragrance."

Yi Wu immediately pulled out a messenger slip: "Quickly send a message back to the palace."

Gu Mingli: "..."

Gu Mingyue covered her mouth and chuckled.

"Brother, calm down."

Gu Mingli took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to drag out those six guards and beat them up.

She covered her mouth and coughed lightly, trying to appear calm and composed.

Then, he strode to the window and flung it open with a loud bang.

The six dark figures gathered outside the window, discussing something, froze instantly.

He quickly used his "Flash" skill and disappeared without a trace in a flash.

Gu Mingli looked around.

Anyway, now that the double social death skill has been activated, I need to hurry up and find a small animal to test it out.

Otherwise, you'll have lost face for nothing.

But it was already the dead of night, and it was pitch black outside; not even a stray cat could be seen.

What should I do?

He can only summon things out of thin air.

Let's see if we can have a "Jiang Taigong fishing" experience and encounter some nocturnal creatures.

Gu Ming cleared his throat and tentatively called out softly towards the dimly lit window.

"Feeding~~~~~~~"

"..."

The moment that voice, clear yet endlessly alluring, uttered, it resonated deeply.

The brother and sister inside the house were stunned, as if struck by lightning.

Instantly, goosebumps appeared all over my arms.

That voice was so incredibly sweet and alluring!

The last syllable of her voice had an extremely alluring, slightly upward slant, conveying an indescribable seductive and seductive quality.

Gu Mingyue's eyes widened, and she bit her lip hard to keep from laughing out loud.

Gu Mingli blushed and pretended not to notice anything.

A pair of eyes remained fixed on the open window, and a soft voice asked:

"Hey outside~~~~~~ Is anyone there~~~~~~~~?"

A night breeze blew by.

The leaves outside the window rustled.

then……

"Buzzing..."

Ten mosquitoes flew in through the window.

They circled around Gu Mingli, creating a noisy commotion.

[You two-legged creature! What are you doing, acting all horny in the middle of the night? Why are you calling me here?!]

[Yes, yes! The mosquito finally found a plump, fair-skinned maid in the backyard, and was just about to pounce on her! She's completely bewitched!]

[Yo ho! This two-legged creature has a lovely voice, and its scent is quite tempting for mosquitoes. I'm still hungry, let me taste its fragrant blood!]

[If it's not anything important, believe me, we'll all come at you together! We'll give you a face full of pimples, so you'll go out with a face full of them!]

Gu Mingli: "..."

He stood frozen in place, listening to the ten mosquitoes' incessant, incessant grumbling and complaining.

This was the first time in his life he had been cyberbullied by a swarm of mosquitoes pressing their faces against his.

Just then, one of the most temperamental mosquitoes, as if to prove it wasn't going to be trifled with, swooped down and pounced fiercely on Gu Mingli's smooth, jade-like profile.

"court death."

Gu Mingli's eyes turned cold, and he quickly raised his hand.

A crisp "snap" sounded.

A slap landed squarely on his cheek.

The arrogant mosquito instantly turned into a pool of mosquito blood.

The other mosquitoes: "..."

[Ah!! How cruel! Old Wang was killed! Old Wang sacrificed himself!]

[Run! Run! That's a cruel clapper!]

[That brutal two-legged beast! Sisters, get out of here! Go next door and suck the blood of those black-clad two-legged beasts who are eavesdropping on this conversation!]

The terrified screams buzzed for a while, and then the remaining nine mosquitoes scattered.

They rushed out of the window and into the night.

Gu Mingli spread his hands and stared at the flattened corpse of "Old Wang" in his palm.

They fell silent.
