"Ms. Shibai, are you married?"

"Yes."

Shi Bai admitted it without hesitation, and when she tossed her blonde hair, she showed off the ring on her ring finger, the dazzling diamond ring sparkling.

"Miss Shibai's wife must be a very powerful person!"

Yu Yi believed that being able to stay with such a dazzling person must make her equally dazzling.

"Of course, she is a true 'big devil'."

Shi Bai was happy to talk about things related to his wife and showed a comfortable smile.

"Demon King..."

Ye Shi pricked up her wolf ears. She was very sensitive to this term, and her red eyes dimmed a little.

"Oh, sorry, the 'Great Devil' I just mentioned is actually an adjective. My wife likes to use this word to describe herself. It's different from the 'Devil King' in your world."

"Your world...?"

The amount of information implied in the words was too huge, leaving Ye Shi confused.

"Anyway, we still need time to prepare for the trip. Let's sit down and talk slowly."

Shi Bai waved her hand, and several maids came over to arrange for Yu Yi and Ye Shi to sit down and poured them rich and fragrant flower tea.

Shi Bai also returned to the center position and faced the two with a smile:

"Would you like some floral tea? If you would like any instructions, I will have the maids prepare it."

"Thank you, thank you, you don't have to entertain us..."

Yu Yi picked up the teacup and took a sip of hot tea. The refreshing fragrance instantly filled her mouth and she felt much more relaxed.

"Let's talk business."

Ye Shi pushed the teacup away, thinking that enough of the meaningless small talk had been exchanged, and went straight to the point.

"You look a lot like a friend of mine."

Shi Bai smiled, put on the white gauntlets again, gently pulled the elastic fabric to make each finger fit tightly, and said:

"Could you please give me that 'travel voucher'?"

"here."

Ye Shi took out the hand-drawn travel voucher and handed it to Shi Bai through the maid.

Shi Bai held the note in his hand, a pale golden light passing across its surface, as if deconstructing the hidden message on the note, and muttered to himself:

"...Ms. Hatsuzou, so that's how it is. I understand..."

After reading the hidden message, Shi Bai put down the note in his hand, his expression becoming solemn:

"I didn't expect you guys came from that 'reconstructed world'."

"Reconstruction?" Ye Shi was confused again.

"where is this place?"

She asked with increased vigilance, looking at the overly dreamy scene around her.

"This question is difficult to explain. Just think of it as... a stepping stone between worlds."

"....don't know."

Faced with Shi Bai's answer, Ye Shi became even more confused.

"Let's use these two cream cakes as an analogy."

Shi Bai picked up the cream cake on the table and explained in her own way:

"You two are the cream cakes on the plates. Right now, your world is split in two by a giant barrier, just like the table in the middle. The barrier is uncontrollable. You can't cross it head-on, nor can you throw the cake directly across, as that would damage it. The only solution is to ask a third party, free from both worlds, to transport the cake."

After saying that, she handed the cake to the maid beside her, and the maid slowly walked around the table to the seats of Ye Shi and Shi Bai and put the cake down.

"In other words, this isn't our original world, but a different dimension?"

Ye Shi was a little bit unbelievable.

"It can be understood this way."

Shi Bai smiled and nodded, explaining:

"There are many worlds that exist simultaneously. For example, the world I grew up in is different from yours. There are no demons or magic there."

"Other...world..."

The sudden information left both Ye Si and Yu Yi stunned, as if they were watching a science fiction movie.

"Ah, please don't worry about these things. Each world has its own rules and restrictions. Only a few of them can cross the world. You only need to focus on the affairs of your own world."

In other words, Ye Si and the others only need to focus on the task at hand and don't need to worry about these overly grand settings.

"What you just said about 'crossing the barrier head-on', could it be..."

Ye Shi suddenly realized something and his expression became serious.

"Yes."

Shi Bai intertwined her fingers in front of her chest and said with a smile:

"According to Miss Hatsuzou's instructions, the destination you are about to travel to will be the other half of your world, that is, the human world."

...

...

After that, the three of them chatted for a long time, but they didn't get much information.

Shi Bai refused to answer most of the questions, citing reasons like "Ms. Hatsuzou wrote a note instructing me to keep it a secret" and "Don't worry, you'll know soon."

Faced with this guy who is good at disguise, Ye Shi couldn't find any breakthrough at all.

"The head of the family..."

A maid came to Shi Bai and whispered something in her ear.

"Yeah." Shi Bai looked down at his pocket watch, confirmed that the time was about right, nodded, and replied softly:

"Understood. Go stop her first, and I'll take care of it right away."

"Yes."

After receiving the order, the maid bowed respectfully and left.

"It's getting late. In order not to disturb your sweet journey, it's time to say goodbye."

Shi Bai stood up from his seat and began to see the two off.

Yuyi and Yesi's luggage was moved to the new car, which was an SUV, very similar to the one Yesi usually drove. It was spacious and comfortable, very suitable for outdoor travel.

"I'm not good at this kind of people..."

Ye Shi felt a bit of a headache.

She wanted to know more about the intelligence, but Shi Bai was too tight-lipped, and she was trapped by a lot of information.

During the chat, they even talked about their private lives. Hearing these stimulating contents, Yu Yi blushed with shyness.

This golden retriever and his wife played quite a bit.

"Boom!"

The sound of a car door closing.

After Ye Shi got into the new car, he began to adjust the height of the seat and the direction of the interior mirror, controlling everything within the range that was most convenient for him.

"Ms. Shi Bai, thank you for helping us so much and giving me so many gifts..."

Yuyi sat in the passenger seat, holding a set of dolls in her arms, including a puppy, a sheep, a squirrel, a kitten, and a white rabbit, all of which looked very cute.

"You're welcome. This is what I should do."

Shi Bai gently lifted the golden hair beside her ear. She was very happy that Yu Yi accepted such a gift, and there was a hint of warmth in her smile.

"Rumble--"

After the car key was turned, the engine was successfully started.

"Ms. Yoshito."

At this moment, Shi Bai took the initiative to call Ye Si, and judging from his expression, he seemed to have something important to say.

"Please say."

Ye Shi was also infected by the literary tone.

"Ms. Ye Shi, do you remember what I said earlier... that you are very similar to a friend of mine?"

Shi Bai stood by the car window, looking into her eyes. His expression looked a little complicated, and there was a look of worry in his eyes.

"What kind of person is she?" Ye Shi asked.

"She...isn't good at expressing her emotions. She may appear cold on the outside, but she's actually soft-hearted and always makes the most rational choices...It's thanks to her that I was able to meet my current wife."

Shi Bai seemed to be recounting past events, and the shadow of a dark-haired friend was seen on Ye Si's face.

"What do you want to say?"

Ye Shi felt that there was something else behind the other party's words and planned to ask her directly about her purpose.

"It's nothing, what I want to say is..."

Shi Bai shifted his gaze and looked at Yu Yi in the passenger seat. Looking at the two people in front of him, he recalled some things again. For the first time, he restrained his smile and said:

"No matter what happens, I hope you don't give up. Try to trust your significant other. Don't choose to bear all the pain alone, and don't choose to leave her side."

"..."

Ye Shi didn't know what he saw in Shi Bai's eyes, but he sensed a hint of sadness in her sincere eyes.

"I understand."

She nodded and responded briefly.

Shi Bai knew that this was the extent of what he could do. With a hint of helplessness in his smile, he slowly took two steps back and said goodbye to the two of them.

“Please cherish the remaining journey.”

...

...

...

(A small extra about the characters in the previous game)

In the blink of an eye, Ye Si and the others had left.

This dreamlike manor returned to its normal state and continued to operate peacefully as usual.

But at this moment...

"Madam, the owner of the house is discussing business, please don't disturb her..."

"I'll just hide nearby and watch secretly, so I won't disturb them!"

"Sorry, that's an order."

"Damn it, even if Wen Xue came today, she couldn't stop me!"

From the other side of the garden, a girl's sweet voice could be heard, and she seemed to be arguing with the maid.

Hearing this familiar voice, Shi Bai immediately regained his spirits.

She raised her dog ears and tail, which had been hidden until now, and walked towards the direction of the sound.

"Ah, Shibai!"

Noticing Shi Bai's appearance, the girl jumped on the spot, her pink and white hair swaying gently, and she quickly came to her with a few little rabbits in her arms.

The word "cute"...

It was simply created for the girl in front of her, but she didn't like being evaluated like this by others.

"Shibai, is the work finished?"
