The defeated saint is also on the way to tame the evil god today

"That's been so long..." Aurora muttered.

"There's no rush. After all, we haven't found the key to Sunrise Land yet," Xing Mo said optimistically. "The only thing I'm afraid of is... if someone steals our experimental results..."

"Does anyone really dare to do this?" This time it was Aurora's turn to be curious:

"Not to mention, little saint, you must have set up a lot of barriers and so on. Mr. Luffy looks very powerful. Who dares to enter his house?"

"Who knows," Xing Mo waved her hand, "Well... just to be on the safe side..."

Xingmo closed her eyes and pressed the "Tree of Life" mark on the back of her hand.

When she opened her eyes again, she said to Aurora:

"Aurora, bring Alia over here."

"Eh? Are you going to bother that child?" Aurora tilted her head. "Will it disturb her normal life?"

"I have a feeling we'll need more help in our future operations in New Galo," Xingmo said calmly. "We can't just blindly trust the locals. We need some people who know us well around us."

"That makes sense~" Aurora nodded thoughtfully, then snapped her fingers, "Okay!"

As Aurora snapped her fingers, the shadow behind her suddenly became very long, like a piece of paper that was constantly being stretched.

The piece of paper immediately split apart, forming a terrifying and huge tree-like shadow on the ground, with a dark aura pouring out of it.

The next second, the tree seemed to collapse again, instantly collapsing into a small dot, and then bounced back again—

"Om-"

The girl's figure popped out of the dot, landed on the floor, and knelt on one knee:

"Master Prophet...Miss Saint...Alia has responded to the summons."

Such a long distance, and it only took a second to get here? Xing Mo was shocked and gently squeezed Aurora's hand:

"How did you do it?"

"She's a dark elf, and has a strong affinity with shadows," Aurora chuckled. "And I replaced her shadow to form a passage."

So that’s it…it’s a racial talent…Xingmo felt a little regretful.

She was still wondering if she could go back to the Citadel in the same way... "Bang!" She was there in an instant, no need to take a boat or a train.

But taking a boat or train isn't boring after all... With this white kitten...

"No need to be so polite, get up, Alia." Xingmo gave the little dark elf a gentle smile.

"Yes." Alia straightened up. "What can I do for you?"

"Well...we need you to guard this laboratory for us for a week." Xingmo said.

"Okay, no problem." Alia agreed without hesitation.

"It might be boring, so it's best to go back to the academy and pack some books or something to help you pass the time," Xing Mo quickly added, "Well... if there's anything you want to eat, just tell me and I'll bring it to you every day."

"No need to trouble you," Alya shook her head. "Um...can you bring Bianca?"

"Ah?" Xing Mo was stunned.

"Bianca is my best friend," Alya said, her cheeks seeming to blush slightly, "With her around, it's never boring."

Hmm...are they going to jail together? This is a closed space...even though you can see the scenery of Shinjara...

However, Aurora beside her seemed to understand something and nodded quickly:

"Okay, okay, we like to see this. We'll help you pull her over."

Xing Mo: “…?”

"What do you like to watch..."

"Oh my, my little saint, you're so unromantic! Stupid, stupid," Aurora pinched Xingmo's waist. "Alia, go ahead. We'll take you back and summon you again in half an hour!"

"Okay!" Alia nodded happily.

Another shadow collapsed, and Alia's figure quickly disappeared, leaving only Xingmo and Aurora in the workshop.

Facing the current situation, Xing Mo was still a little uneasy. She hesitated for a moment, then whispered:

"that..."

"You don't understand! Don't tell me! I want to ship this couple!"

Xing Mo: “…?”

What's this new word? I don't think I've heard it before.

Xiao Xingmo was very shocked.

After careful consideration, she decided not to ask...because this was probably something Aurora had read in some yuri novel.

I'm going to say something like "Believe it or not, let's use you as a practice test!"

"..."

So, the two of them waited in the laboratory. Ten minutes later, faster than expected, Xing Mo felt the "Tree of Life" mark on the back of his hand sending out a spiritual signal.

As the shadow collapsed again, Alia and Bianca, the pair of "light and dark elves", appeared in front of Xingmo again.

The two little guys were holding hands, their faces filled with happy smiles.

"Prophet! Saint!" Bianca happily bowed in turn. "I... this is my first time traveling... here... wow!"

The little elf turned around and saw the magnificent city outside the high-level alchemy workshop at a glance.

"This is Shin... Shinga..."

"It's New Garo," Alia smiled. "Look, the city is huge, isn't it?"

"It's...it's so huge! The harbor is so huge! It's like a forest!"

"I heard that almost all the ships in the world dock at the port of Singara," Alya told Bianca seriously, "This is a city of merchants, it's..."

The two little guys seemed to quickly immerse themselves in their own world, with their little backs leaning against each other, looking at the city outside the window together.

Xing Mo wanted to give a few more instructions, but after thinking for a moment, she just smiled softly:

"Let's go, don't disturb them, let's go have lunch."

Xing Mo looked down and found that Aurora was staring at the backs of the two little guys in a daze. Her rather young profile looked like a real kitten, and her big blood-red eyes were filled with a different expression.

That look seemed to be longing for something.

"..." Xingmo leaned down and gently touched Aurora's shoulder with her own.

Aurora came back to her senses and turned to look at Xingmo, who was as tall as her, with a bright smile on her face:

"Hello~"

"Hello!" Xingmo smiled, "Great 'Angel of Disaster', it's time for us to go eat!"

"Great! Bring us the sacrifice!"

......

Of course, Xingmo finally left a note, instructing Alia not to take out and touch the extraordinary deconstruction machine, and not to destroy the sealed state of the ritual altar.

After briefly explaining the situation to the maid, Xingmo and Aurora went out to look for food.

"Wow, the sun is so bright at noon, it's so hot!"

At the seawall harbor, on the busy street, Aurora looked up at the sun and stuck out her tongue.

Before she could utter the next complaint, an umbrella opened, blocking her view of the sky.

Aurora turned around and saw Xingmo holding an umbrella and wearing a cool little skirt. She looked like a girl out for a summer outing.

Wow...Aurora stared at Xingmo's rosy shoulders, her eyes shining.

"What's wrong?" Xing Mo tilted her head. "What do you want to eat for lunch?"

"Eat you." Aurora's smile grew even brighter.

Xing Mo: "Ah?"

Seeing the little fellow's increasingly sinister eyes, Xing Mo reached out and gently flicked Aurora's head:

"Ouch."

"Bad kitten, decide quickly what you want to eat..." Xing Mo turned her head away slightly.

"Hey hey hey...how about...having some seafood?"

Aurora pinched her cheeks and adjusted her expression:

"But is there really anything to eat here? Why don't we go to the commercial street?"

"You don't understand. If you want the freshest seafood, you have to go to the port..."

Xingmo's eyes scanned secretly, looking for something among the forest-like buildings in the port.

Soon, she found her target - a fishing boat that had just docked.

“You can only truly enjoy the freshest ingredients by buying them from fishing boats and then handing them over to the restaurant owner for processing.”

Xingmo and Aurora were explaining the "art of eating", and the latter's expression suddenly became serious.

"So that's how it is..." Aurora muttered and nodded, "Then let's go! Let's buy all the fish on that boat! Then we'll have a huge seafood banquet!"

"We don't have enough money..."

8) Flowers, the Sun, and You (Part 7) -5k- (Level Up Plus)

Negotiating the price was not a difficult matter, but Xingmo still spent some effort to talk about the price with her cousin who spoke with a strong Galo accent.

All in all, she ended up buying a few saury at a very good price and also got some fresh big oysters.

After returning to the harbor from the fishing boat, Xingmo came to an open-air barbecue restaurant by the sea and found Aurora sitting at a table by the sea:

"Here, here!" Aurora waved at Xingmo. "Look! We found a super good spot."

"It's really comfortable," Xing Mo carried a bag of things and put it on the table, "Come, take a look at the ingredients for lunch today."

When she heard the word "food", Aurora jumped up quickly, then moved closer to Xingmo and looked into the bag.

When Aurora saw the saury, she exclaimed, "Wow!"

After seeing the oysters, Aurora frowned slightly:

"Little Saint, why did you buy a bunch of stones? Did you get scammed?"

"This isn't a stone, it's an oyster!" Xingmo laughed. "Don't you usually use the Tree of Life vision or something like that?"

"Ah? That's so boring," Aurora tilted her head. "My sister told me that I need to look at the world from a mortal's perspective more often, so that I can appreciate the meaning of life walking on the earth."

"Your sister is so artistic." Xing Mo nodded.

"Speaking of our sister, there is something I need to inform you."

Aurora straightened her composure and put on a serious expression.

"Tonight, the Red Moon will be very close to the real world. I invite you to the cafe for tea~"

When Xing Mo heard the word "Red Moon", his heart skipped a beat and he took a breath of cold air.

She still remembers how she felt the last time she saw the red moon...

Oh, I don’t remember. After all, she fainted.

"Okay, got it..." Xingmo sighed.

"Don't panic. No matter how scary that moon is, it can't hurt you," Aurora blinked. "Instead of worrying about a mysterious moon far away in the sky, why don't we think about what to eat for lunch?"

These words pulled Xing Mo back from her worries. She nodded and smiled:

"You have the final say, little ancestor~"

Xingmo handed the saury to the chef, and after roughly instructing on the proportions of the ingredients, she returned to the table and prepared to pry open the oysters with Aurora.

"Come, let me teach you."

Xingmo picked up an oyster, pried it open gently with a knife, and with a "pop" sound, cold sea water splashed out.

Then, she quickly used a knife to cut the part where the oyster meat was in contact with the shell, separating the meat from the shell.

"Wow," Aurora looked at the plump oyster meat inside the shell, "and then?"
