I am on the Ark, a succubus, pure and innocent.

"Then there's really no way to fight back. Even Vulcan was moved to tears."

"Kroos, shut up."

Bai Yue grabbed the shrewd businessman who was telling a hellish joke and then chuckled as she whispered in his ear, "How does it feel to be working for me for free, you shrewd businessman?"

Kroos wasn't ashamed, only filled with despair. She clutched her head and wailed, "Aaaaah, you debt collector! How much money did I make from you that you have to treat me like this!"

"If you don't have payment for the project, at least give me some tea money!"

"No no!"

Bai Yue refused with a grin, continuing to ramble on, "Not only that, the Engineering Department's contribution this time has also led to a collaboration between me and the Medical Department. From now on, they'll have a proper base here as a branch office."

Kroos felt like she was about to die after hearing this; her soul seemed to float out of her mouth.

There is a saying that goes well.

My own failure is terrible, but my friend's success is even more heartbreaking! Waaah, why?! Why should the contributions our engineering department made be given to the medical department?! This is unfair!

She had intended to say that, but looking at Kal'tsit's retreating figure, she silently swallowed her words.

Mon3tr hits really hard!

But Kroos, true to her shrewd business sense, swallowed her anger and immediately thought of another way to generate revenue. Without any hesitation, she turned her head and rubbed her face against Bai Yue's, her voice becoming softer as she said:

"Hey boss, I heard that construction is starting on your family's complex, is that right?"

“Yes,” Bai Yue replied affirmatively.

"Um... buddy, do you need me to help you with the planning?"

Kroos hesitated for a moment, then felt disgusted by her own arrogant demeanor and quickly cleared her throat: "Ahem, not to brag, but although our engineering department has never taken on a similar project, our technical capabilities are fully capable of building top-notch buildings in Terra."

"Our engineering team members come from all over Terra, from Yan, Ursus, Victoria, Sargon, Kazimierz... In short, whatever style of architecture you want, we can provide a solution!"

"Eh, really?" Bai Yue exclaimed in surprise.

But just as Kroos was about to triumphantly secure this big deal, Bai Yue grinned mischievously and said, "Even if this project is the site of the Twilight Garden, which I co-founded with Rhodes Island's medical department, would that be acceptable?"

"..."

Kroos watched Kal'tsit's retreating figure, swallowing her tears hard. "Waaah, Medical Department, Kal'tsit, why are you everywhere!"

But adhering to the belief that money is hard to earn and life is tough, she was about to nod in agreement when Bai Yue interrupted her again:

"But let's forget about it. I don't plan to build any high-rise buildings in the Earl's Mansion or the Dim Courtyard. Let my people practice on their own."

"..."

Kroos remained silent, her anger brewing within her. Even the sweet scent surrounding her couldn't soothe her. With a snort, she shook off Bai Yue's body and jogged a few steps to Kal'tsit's side.

Bai Yue watched as she turned into a little landmine and couldn't help but laugh out loud, feeling rather wicked.

Seeing him like this, Shining's controlling nature, cultivated in her dreams, kicked in. She quickened her pace with Liz, still keeping in the middle of the three. She reached out and placed her hand on Bai Yue's shoulder with a gentle yet undeniable force.

In her dreams, she often used this method to prevent him from becoming too intimate with Liz.

But now...

After placing his hand on Bai Yue's shoulder, Shining suddenly didn't know what to say. In the dream, he could still do this under the pretext of telling him not to have too much contact with Liz.

But now?

Liz is fine... um... or maybe she's broken too.

But the relationship between the three of them truly ended the moment the dream ended.

He wasn't her husband, and she wasn't his wife. Aside from that relationship, they were just friends who had only met a few times... if you could even call them friends.

Perhaps it's also because I unilaterally see him as a continuation of hope.

Is this meager relationship really enough to justify using any binding language to talk about him?

Not supported!

Because there is no such principle in the world.

Shining was caught in a dilemma, feeling like a clown with a black veil covering his head, just waiting for the young prince to lift the veil with a puzzled look and a "what's it to you?" kind of question, revealing the clown mask on his face.

Her eyes trembled slightly; she had already decided to dig a hole and bury her head in it.

Bai Yue did indeed turn his head as she wished, and as she wished, he showed a puzzled look. The moment his lips parted, Shanling wanted to close her eyes and just give up.

But her strong sense of reason kept her expression in check.

Her face was expressionless.

Although Bai Yue didn't understand people's hearts very well, she still had a basic grasp of psychology. She quickly recalled her interactions with her and then looked at her almost stiff fingers.

Hehe, if you still can't figure out what she's thinking, you might as well give up being a succubus. You'll starve to death sooner or later!

Bai Yue's lips almost shaped like a cat's, and she spoke in a cunning yet slow voice:

"Sister Shining, what's wrong?"

A sigh of relief, followed immediately by joy... That's how Shining feels right now.

This is wrong, she knows. She doesn't have such deep feelings for him, but... maybe that's just human nature; a moment of relaxation can lead to emotional ups and downs.

But I have to say, even if you don't like him, this little prince is really quite likable.

At least it won't touch a nerve.

"No, it's nothing. I just wanted you to stop bullying Kroos. She's been working overtime these past few days and is so exhausted that she had to get mental supplements from the medical department. Now she's doing this for you for free. Please be understanding."

"Hehe, okay, I'll listen to Sister Shining."

"Tsk."

"Eh."

"Ah..."

"hiss..."

Chapter 144 The Precys Garland, You Deserve It!

The place where the doctor awoke.

Bai Yue circled the stone coffin, her fingertips tracing its cold surface, and asked curiously:

"So this is the stone coffin."

"Hmm." Kal'tsit nodded, walked to the control panel that modern Terrans couldn't understand at all, and calmly typed something. After a while, she turned back and said to Kroos:

"You come and assess the route connecting the energy pipeline to the core city's mobile module. If you confirm there are no problems, then you can bring the engineering department here to start construction."

"Oh."

Kroos looked dejected, turned to Nightingale and Shining, and clasped her hands together, saying, "Doctors, I'm counting on you for my life!"

"Yeah." X2

Nightingale and Shining use spells simultaneously.

A flash of inspiration struck Kroos, and with the protection of the black and white demons, she instantly gained confidence and fearlessly walked toward the pre-set external interface of the sarcophagus, producing a bunch of complex tools from who-knows-where.

She started working, and Kal'tsit stood behind her for a while to watch, and after confirming that there were no problems, she left her alone.

He walked over to Bai Yue, Nightingale, and Shining, fully embodying the meticulous spirit of "one person works while four others watch" on a construction site.

"How does it work?" Bai Yue asked curiously.

Kal'tsit pondered for a moment, then tilted her head, crossed her arms, tapped her arm with her fingertips, and said softly, "I don't know how to explain to you that there is no word yet to describe the nature of this land."

"However, for the sake of argument, it has a special 'tidal' energy collection device inside. As long as it exists, and as long as all the energy is not drained at once, its output energy will not be depleted."

"But its essential function is not like that. Rather than an energy storage device, it is more like a medical device, but this function may not be a good thing for the people of this land today."

"As for other features... to be honest, I don't know."

Kal'tsit's face rarely showed a look of frustration, like a domestic cat that only knows how to use the automatic water and food feeding machine, but does not understand the working mechanism.

But she's just a cat, so we can't expect too much from her.

Bai Yue nodded, half understanding. He knew that in the story, this thing reverted Mephisto to the grotesque 'Singer' boss with the disgusting mechanics, but that was all he knew.

As for what 'tidal' energy is, could it be vacuum zero-point energy?

That would make this thing incredibly high-class.

Shining sighed: "These are truly incredible ancient relics. Compared to them, everything on this land seems so insignificant. It's hard to imagine that such a glorious civilization once existed."

“But they’re gone…” Kal’tsit’s voice was weak and tinged with uncertainty.

If I think about it carefully, and if I'm not lying to myself, are they really gone? Even my own life spans tens of thousands of years, so were my creator and their companions really so fragile?

Especially that woman, she's still in the awakening room, like a damn time bomb.

"Pureseth?"

Yeah, it's Pree... Ah?!

Kal'tsit stared wide-eyed toward the source of the sound, only to see Bai Yue looking curiously at a scratch on the floor next to the sarcophagus.

She stepped forward quickly.

She put her arm around Bai Yue's shoulder, and Mon3tr had already broken out of her body.

But all of this stopped when they saw the words "Hi, I am Precyth" written in the script of a pre-civilization on the ground.

Her name ends with a cute, cartoon-style smiley face.

There is another line of words below.

[My dear little one, thank you for letting me see such a magnificent universe. Although it is the distant end, the triumphant song has already begun. Go forth, dispel the gloom, and let the eternal night shine brightly. The prophet will witness your melody with me.]

We will ultimately walk the same path.

Oh, right, here's a little gift for you: AMa-10, the key to this sarcophagus in front of you. Hehe, it's yours. Use it however you like, but you'll have to figure out its functions yourself.

Oh, and watch out for that pink-haired woman next to you. Hmph, she's no good. She might delete your game save file!!!

Bai Yue was shocked. "Holy crap, she deleted the game save file? How could there be such a wicked woman in the world?!"

Kidding.

He composed himself and looked again at the riddle before him: a magnificent universe... the final note... the long night... a melody, take a path.

Oh my god, what did she say?

Couldn't you have explained it more clearly?!

While he was fuming over Precys, that damn riddle-maker, Kal'tsit was already going numb. Precys, *unknown language profanity*, how the hell did you wake up?!

But then she carefully considered the words of the Creator's riddle.

As a cat who knew a bit of the truth, she could tell what that jerk Precys was talking about.

The meaning of these words...

Precyth, who uses *unknown language profanity*, was released by the Doctor ten thousand years ago!

What the hell gives you the right to give me away?!

The internal monologue eased some of her fear, and she felt a little more relaxed.

Then, with a rather complicated expression, she looked at the little succubus she was holding in her arms. Did this tiny body actually possess the potential to reach the end of the universe, even to unravel that ultimate answer, even to transcend 'Heaven'?

"Ah..."

Kal'tsit exhaled, no longer caring about the words that had suddenly disappeared from the ground. She simply ignored everyone else and hugged Bai Yue tightly in her arms as if she were a precious treasure.

Bai Yue blinked, staring at the disappearing words on the ground. Coming to her senses, she felt the hand holding her was exceptionally gentle, and the warm breeze blowing past her ear was incredibly alluring. She immediately said in a coquettish tone:

"Ouch, it itches!"

Kal'tsit took a step back, then two steps forward, landing precisely on the floor that had just been occupied by the Originium Demoness. She reached out and stroked his face gently, saying, "How about this?"

Bai Yue smiled and said, "Hehe, I won't."

The two of them, oblivious to the dangers of others, did not affect Shining and Nightingale. They had already witnessed in their dreams just how charming this prince was, and now there was only one more Kal'tsit.

They didn't even kiss!

Sprinkle some water.
