Collapse Iron: After watching the simulation, they all turned to the dark side.

[That summer: Cats don't want her, fish don't like her, she's practically a inferior replacement for Lu Qing.]

[Aglaia: Who asked you?]

[That summer: You must be so anxious, Golden Weaver Girl.]

"Hmph hmph hmph~" Catwoman hummed a little tune.

Unlike the extremely hot and dry Dolos, the weather in Ohema is significantly better.

Although the Sky Titans still go berserk from time to time, things have gotten much better for Dolores.

Saifeier is preparing for her new store, and she may be able to open for business in a few days.

She seemed a little hungry.

Unlike Dolores, fish are not so precious in this city-state, since there is plenty of water. Saifeier went to the market and bought a big fish, bringing it back to her new home.

But then she realized that no one would cook fish for her anymore.

Honestly, I was planning to eat it raw before, so why do I want it cooked now...?

For some reason, she couldn't muster any appetite for the large fish in front of her.

[Fireworks: In plain language, it's easy to go from simplicity to luxury, but difficult to go from luxury to simplicity.]

After hesitating for a moment, she leaped into the treetop, plucked a branch, pierced the fish through its body, and started a fire with charcoal. The fish was now being grilled.

[Ling Ke: That's not right. The internal organs haven't been removed at all, so there'll be blood and other things. There's no seasoning either, and the temperature is wrong; it'll burn easily.]

As expected, she got a failed grilled fish, but Sai Fei'er didn't complain. For her, this was already a rare delicacy.

"Little Cat Girl, that's not how you grill fish." Aglaia, dressed in a gold dress, had somehow entered the "Odd Jobs Shop" branch.

"Who are you? It's none of your business, ha!!!"

“I am Aglaia, the owner of the gold-woven shop next door. From now on, we will be neighbors.”

“Aglaia, how come that name is the same as the supreme ruler of Ohma?”

"Naturally, it's the same name, because I am the romantic demigod—Aglaia."

Saifei almost dropped the fish in her hand.

"Ah, Lady Aglaia, I'm sorry, I... I didn't know... I won't breathe on it next time."

“It’s okay. If you can’t cook, you can come eat at my place. We’re neighbors anyway.” Aglaia waved her hand with a smile.

Saifei saw the shadow of someone else in her.

Another kind person, meow?

[Fireworks: Aglaia: It's just Lady Qinglu's mission.]

Chapter 125 Arrangements are in order

But what Aglaia didn't say was that she couldn't cook.

Just kidding. She's been an aristocrat since childhood. As a pampered young lady who never lifts a finger, cooking is out of the question for her. She usually has a personal chef.

Aglaia smiled, took Saifei'er's hand, and pulled her into the gold-woven shop.

Lu Qing watched from afar, feeling as if he had been outmaneuvered, or perhaps he had outmaneuvered Aglaia ahead of time?

I can't tell the difference, I really can't tell the difference.

However, Lu Qing's last concern was gone, and he needed to consider the mission of this simulation.

How can I heal the damage that the Golden Blood has caused to my body?

You need to achieve enough enjoyment and high ratings.

Lu Qing himself wasn't quite sure about the achievement of pleasure.

Beyond achievements.

He had indeed witnessed the wondrous effects of various sparks of fire. Perhaps, the spark of deception could help him tell a lie?

[Black Tower: We've all seen it. The seeds of deception are unlikely to be of any use in reality.]

[Ruan Mei: But he didn't know that.]

[Black Tower: It's alright, there's bound to be a fun achievement here.]

[Hanabi: If he can deceive everyone using the lies of the Dawn Machine, Miss Hanabi feels it will be an achievement.]

However, Lu Qing had no other options.

In this life, I have seized the power of trickery. It's a pity that Lai Gushi has never shown up, otherwise I could have tried to kill him.

As for Sai Fei'er, in this life, she won't have to bear these burdens.

In this life, destiny belongs to me alone.

Just be a little kitten and be content with that.

The greatest happiness is knowing nothing.

This can be seen as Lu Qing making amends for some of his previous mistakes, and it's also a win-win situation.

[March 7th: Wait, this is something Sai Fei'er doesn't know, right? What if she does find out?]

[Star: Then prepare to regret it for the rest of your life.]

[Sai Fei'er: Grey, you're human!]

[Star: I don't understand, I am a Star Core Spirit.]

Lu Qing still remembered how Sai Feier stole the memory spark.

She imprisoned three hundred of Dolores's most notorious thieves, attracting the thief spirit "Bartrus." Using Aglaia's golden threads, she bound Bartrus, eventually stealing the fire within her. Then, through lies, she preserved Bartrus's life and kept him by her side.

Of course, Lu Qing believed he couldn't do that.

Unlike the future Saifeier, he was not eloquent, but he had his own way of drawing out the "thief spirit" that had been hiding in the shadows.

If we continue to cooperate with Aglaia, we can take her down.

I may not be unable to bear the spur of this scheme.

Moreover, in this life, he also has the attribute of longevity. Lu Qing doesn't know how long he can live, but based on his understanding of the decline in his physical functions...

Perhaps he could live to be more than a thousand years old.

Lu Qing looked up at the starry sky over Ohmma, then took out the tarot cards she always carried with her from her sleeve.

Do you want to have your future predicted?

No, it's not needed.

Whatever the outcome, there's no need to hesitate.

In this life, the scheme is mine.

Under the gentle moonlight, Lu Qing stood atop the Cloud Stone Palace, overlooking the myriad lights of Ohma.

Her clothes fluttered like colorful flags, and a pair of clear, golden eyes opened and closed slightly.

Tarot cards filled the sky like an illusion, drifting down from the heavens. Lu Qing's figure disappeared into the moonlight as well; he needed to prepare some things.

Saifeier didn't sleep tonight. She stayed by the window, watching the bustling scene of the Ohmma night market. With her excellent eyesight, she saw something glittering in the sky.

She hesitated for a moment, then stepped onto the window sill, leaped high into the air, and caught the falling, glittering object in her hand.

It was an ordinary tarot card.

What does it mean?

Sai Fei shook her head, not quite understanding. She'd ask Aya tomorrow.

[Star: @BlackSwan, OI, stop slacking off and explain yourself.]

[Black Swan: The Star in its upright position, specifically signifying hope, healing, inspiration, peace, and faith.]

[Black Swan: Also, be polite. Before you see the other endings, I have no problem calling me the "Handsome Woman," but after you see the endings, what should you call me?]

【star:……】

[Star: Goose, Sister E?]

[Black Swan: Looks like you're not so stupid, you Star Core Spirit.]

"Sephir began her life in Ohmma."

"With Aglaia's protection, no one dares to come looking for trouble."

"Aglaia made many outfits for her, and Catwoman became more and more lively."

"Soon after, she made new friends: Xia Die, Teacher Ti Bao, Bai E..."

"This is a life she never even dreamed of."

"Peaceful, serene, and beautiful."

"Having seen all this, you can say you have a clear conscience."

"After years of planning, you and Aglaia have devised an incredible plan."

"Aglaia faked her death!!!"

"This is what you got from a two-word game."

"Of course, she disagreed at first, but you persuaded her with force."

"Aha: The Art of Speaking."

"Do you really want the spark of your scheme?"

"Of course, if I hadn't taken the seed of trickery, this world would have been destroyed far earlier."

Aglaia doesn't suspect you're lying to her, because there's no need to.

Ultimately, she agreed with your statement.

Only you and the high priest know that the Dawn Machine is about to lose its effectiveness.

Of course, after the high priest's death, you are the only one left who knows this news.

"As you might expect, news of Aglaia's death has attracted the attention of Bartrus."

"Aglaia secretly trapped her with golden threads, and you seized her and instantly refined her."

"You took her to a desolate place."

"You told her your reasons for doing so, then you stole the seeds of the scheme, and with a lie, you used some special means to save Bartrus's life."

"You have developed new abilities of the Silent Lord. You have transformed into that high priest who is already dead, and made lies to all life on this land."

"The Dawn Machine will never be extinguished, time is forever!!!"

"There is a price to pay."

"Because the romantic demigod Aglaia understands people's hearts, you can no longer return to the holy city of Ohma."

"But there's nothing to regret. You know that Saifei is doing well, and that's enough."

"To prevent your scheme from being exposed, you wander the edges of this world, becoming a lone wolf."

Chapter 126: Morning Blossoms and Evening Plucks

The Kuroshio Current arrived as promised.

More and more city-states gradually succumbed to destruction as time went on.

Ohmma, however, remains stable.

If you were to ask which city-state in the world of Onphalus would be the last to fall,

Ohmma, without a doubt.

The holy city of Ohema.

The shop owner is a warm-hearted and quirky catwoman.

With a personality like that, she'd be the darling of any group.
