In Terra, she is a hunter and a bad woman.

"Your identity is quite well-known in Da Yan. If you act rashly, you might alert the enemy."

"...This shouldn't happen."

Maria shook her head slightly, "There are probably not many people in Da Yan who know my identity."

Maria's original intention was to explain that her story was so ancient that not many people knew her nowadays, and most people regarded her as a historical figure.

but……

Kal'tsit, Ramalen, and Tricia looked at each other, their eyes gradually becoming subtle.

Almost at the same time, they made their judgment.

Never send Maria out unless necessary!

……

Bai Zao, inside the Imperial Observatory.

The Imperial Observatory was a very subtle organization established by Dayan.

It is not like other departments that have very specific professional capabilities, nor does it require a clean background. Their only requirement is... sharpness.

As Dayan's early warning agency for natural disasters, their function is to be on guard against anything that may bring disaster to Dayan and make preparations in advance.

It was also thanks to them that Dayan was able to turn the tide and return to stability after more than one disaster.

Although they do not have the ability to mobilize any department in a substantial way, they are one of the few departments that can communicate directly with the emperor and report their work.

At this moment, a girl who looked no more than a teenager was staring at the sky with wide eyes in surprise.

After a moment, she suddenly turned her head and looked at the bustling and noisy Baizao at night.

The bright red lights were swaying, outlining the joyful faces of everyone present.

But... inside the Imperial Observatory, the girl could see the appearance outlined by the slightly uneasy color.

It was a dragon... made of lights!

"Accident?"

The girl thought about it subconsciously, but after just a moment, she decisively gave a negative answer!

impossible!

According to the Ministry of Household Affairs' plan, such a scene is unlikely to occur.

and……

Looking at the ground, the girl's eyes seemed to penetrate the layers of rock and soil, and her expression was solemn.

"Have you been stimulated by something?"

She was silent.

Behind him, the guard raised the lamp, looking a little surprised.

"Old Heavenly Master, what are you doing here?"

The guards looked puzzled, clearly bewildered by the other party's appearance.

But the girl who was respected as the Old Heavenly Master had a frown on her face.

"No, there's something wrong with the positions of the stars, and the flow of power... and those recent events... No, there must be something wrong!"

"Old Master?"

The guard was also a little nervous when he saw the girl chattering here.

As for this mysterious existence, he could only say that he had the honor of seeing it a few times, but he had never had any direct communication with it, so naturally he had no idea what the other party was all about.

And soon, the girl gave her answer.

"Go notify the imperial guards!"

She said, turning around immediately.

"I want to see the Emperor!"

……

The next day, it was noon.

A cold beauty in green was sitting quietly on a chair at the side, her tail wagging slightly, looking a little impatient.

On the side, Shu and Nian were chatting happily.

"Come to think of it, it's been a while since I've eaten out..."

As Shu spoke, he looked at the streets decorated with lights and a rare look of curiosity appeared on his face.

"There are too many Baizao stores here. It's really different from Dahuang."

"Hey, Sister Shu, you should go out more often. What are you doing staying in the Great Wasteland City all the time?"

Nian was cheerful and talked to the other party with a smile.

In response to Nian's words, Shu just chuckled and shook his head.

Obviously, she still has no intention of leaving the wilderness.

Nian also knew his sister's character, and what he said just now was just a joke.

The green Xi just looked at the two people in front of him quietly, and his calm eyes swept over the side from time to time.

Although they came out to eat, it was obvious that Dayan was very wary of them.

The seats next to them were all full... This was certainly not just because the store was doing good business... She could clearly feel the scrutinizing gazes of these people falling back on her and the others from time to time.

There is no doubt that these people are officials of Dayan.

Xi was a little annoyed.

She hated the feeling of being stared at all the time.

The green tail behind her swayed slightly, expressing her silent protest.

Of course, Nian and Shu on the side also noticed this, but one of them was fully focused on the hot pot, while the other was sighing.

"It's been years since I've been able to gather with my sisters so easily... I don't know if my eldest brother and eldest sister will come."

As Shu spoke, his heart was still occupied with his family.

Except for the first few years after their birth, it seemed that their family had never been fully together.

But Nian on the side was smiling.

"Opportunities will come eventually, there's no need to dwell on this moment."

Her philosophy is to live in the present moment.

"You are quite transparent."

Shu looked at Nian's smiling face and shook his head helplessly.

Meanwhile, Xi, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke.

"Sister Shu..."

"Ok?"

Shu turned his head and looked at the little sister who was always silent.

"You...see that woman, aren't you going to say anything to her?"

Xi's words were soft, but they concealed her slightly complicated thoughts.

Obviously, she still cares about Maria and Shu.

Her words also stunned the two people present. Nian was a little confused and didn't know what Xi was talking about.

On the contrary, Shu quickly realized who his little sister was talking about.

only……

"Is there anything else you can say?"

Shu smiled, and there was only relief on his face.

"I just wanted to say thank you to her..."

“And now, this has been done.”

When the evil demons invaded the Great Wilderness, it was Maria who took action and helped them resolve the crisis in the Great Wilderness City.

And she is the one who has benefited the most... After all, in a sense, she is the only one among her brothers and sisters who has broken free from the constraints of age.

Shu had no way of repaying such a kindness. Saying thank you was the only thing she could do.

But this answer obviously did not satisfy Xi. She lowered her brows slightly and looked a little sad.

Nian, who was standing next to him, was holding chopsticks.

"Oh...so you're talking about Maria?"

"..."

Xi glanced at Nian, snorted, and said nothing.

And Nian didn't mind, instead he continued talking with a smile.

"Come to think of it, I don't really understand either. Xi, do you want Sister Shu and Maria to say something?"

Nian really couldn't understand the strange confusion in Xi's heart.

Judging from the story she heard from Sister Shu, Maria did pay a lot of price to save Dahuang City and Sister Shu and others.

But such kindness itself cannot be explained by emotion.

Rather, their family is not an ungrateful family. As long as Maria needs help in the future, they will do their best to help.

With such a foundation, there is no point in saying too much, right?

What is Xi struggling with?

"I just……"

Xi spoke somewhat unconvinced, but looking at the puzzled looks of the two sisters in front of her, the words she had just uttered got stuck in her throat.

After a moment, she turned her head away angrily, not wanting to answer.

Shu, who was standing by, also looked at Nian and then smiled knowingly.

Obviously, they have long been accustomed to Xi's behavior.

But Xi, who was unwilling to accept the outcome, would definitely not let it end like this.

After thinking for a few moments, she also lowered her fingers slightly onto the table.

When neither of them noticed, a drop of black ink slowly dripped from his fingertips.

On the ground, it suddenly turned into a strange black creature.

A Yao, Xi's painting pet.

After creating the other party, Xi did not hesitate.

She gave the other person a decisive look.

And A Yao was also very smart. He tiptoed under the table and walked towards the wagging tail of Nian.

She wants Ah Yao to bite Nian's tail!

But unfortunately, before she could successfully carry out her action, Shu beside her noticed something unusual.

She smiled helplessly, and slowly stretched out her slender legs, separating the two people under the table.

"..."

Xi raised her head and all she could see was Shu's smiling expression.

"that's not allowed."

She said this, half warning, half persuasion.

After a few moments of silence, Xi waved his hand, and the A Yao turned into ink and disappeared on the spot.

"You weren't there then."
