"What, what, what?" Caicai turned back impatiently.
Although Mo Jiao was furious with black mist emanating from his head, looking murderous, Caicai felt a bit guilty.
But guilty is guilty.
After all, it is Xiao Jinsheng’s system.
Could Mo Jiao really treat it as a bunch of scallions and chop it up for soup?
"Mo Xiaoshua, what do you want from the almighty Caicai?" Caicai put its metaphorical hands on its hips and arrogantly asked.
Mo Jiao sneered, "Still showing off, huh?"
"So what?" Caicai snorted, "If you don’t like it, hit me."
"Be careful in the future," Mo Jiao said dangerously, "Don’t let me find an opportunity."
"Oh wow, don’t let me find an opportunity~" Caicai rolled its eyes, "I’m so scared, Mr. Tough Guy."
Seeing Caicai acting arrogantly, Mo Jiao felt stifled.
He realized there was a reason Caicai could bind with Xiao Jinsheng later.
Whether it was the host or the system, both were excellent at provoking each other.
When Xiao Jinsheng provoked him, Mo Jiao just wanted to tangle with her slowly.
Caicai provoking him?
Mo Jiao just wanted to chop the scallions into pieces.
"Heh," Mo Jiao sneered, ignoring Caicai’s arrogance, and turned back to the living room.
Initially, when Mo Jiao came over forcefully, Caicai thought he was going to hit it, but seeing him leave, it was relieved.
"As expected, just talk." Caicai made a face at Mo Jiao’s back.
Even without turning back, Mo Jiao knew the face Caicai was making.
His eyes darkened, and a plan formed in his mind, a cold and insidious smile appeared.
Just you wait and see, rotten scallion!
Mo Jiao returned to the living room, only to see his rival but not Xiao Jinsheng’s figure.
Already feeling unhappy, his mood worsened.
He glanced around, knowing that due to last night’s schedule being his fault, at least today, these rivals were unfriendly to him.
The rivals isolated him, so Mo Jiao chose to isolate them as well.
Finding a corner to sit down, he texted Xiao Jinsheng.
Mo Jiao: Where are you?
Mo Jiao: Used and discarded, huh?
Xiao Jinsheng: What are you talking about?
Xiao Jinsheng quickly replied to Mo Jiao, then looked up at Caicai two meters in front of her.
"I know now," Caicai nodded dejectedly, "I won’t post recklessly again, it’s Mo Jiao’s privacy."
As soon as Mo Jiao left, Xiao Jinsheng came to find Caicai. The rightful source is novel~fire~net
She gently told it that even though it and Mo Jiao often bickered, Xiao Jinsheng would not intervene in such minor squabbles.
After all, not only did Caicai love to bicker with Mo Jiao, but Xiao Jinsheng herself also enjoyed it.
However, this time, Mo Jiao was trying to make Xiao Jinsheng happy; it was a little fun between Mo Jiao and Xiao Jinsheng.
But Caicai had revealed Mo Jiao’s outfit and even posted it in the group chat.
Thank goodness it was just the family group and not shared with outsiders.
Xiao Jinsheng felt that, regardless, this was Mo Jiao’s privacy, and Caicai’s direct posting was disrespectful to Mo Jiao.
She’s indifferent to minor quarrels.
But whether it’s the Beast Husband or the system, facing such unreasonable grievances, Xiao Jinsheng still had to step up.
Besides, with Mo Jiao’s strength, he could have easily beaten Caicai.
"Caicai, I also like to bicker with Mo Jiao, teasing him is indeed quite fun." Xiao Jinsheng gently patted Caicai’s head as it hung low.
"But we’re family, it’s okay to play around, and joking is fine too."
"It’s just that a joke should be funny to the other person to truly be a joke, okay?"
"Mm-hmm, Host, I know I was wrong," Caicai obediently nodded.
Reflecting on everything it did, it started to reconsider if it was too harsh on Mo Jiao.
Even going against Mo Jiao had become its routine.
Caicai could hardly remember how its feud with Mo Jiao started.
Thinking back, it seemed to be because it turned into a slime and suddenly appeared, and a casual comment from Mo Jiao calling slimes disgusting made Caicai hold a grudge.
"I knew Caicai was the best Caicai," seeing Caicai dejected, Xiao Jinsheng embraced it warmly.
As soon as it was in Xiao Jinsheng’s arms, Caicai was revitalized, becoming proud again, "I was the best Caicai at the time because I am the almighty Caicai Lord."
"And the most formidable Caicai Lord," Xiao Jinsheng praised.
After calming Caicai, Xiao Jinsheng returned to the living room, receiving a puzzled look from Mo Jiao, "Where did you go?"
He didn’t even reply to the Intelligent Brain message he sent.
It couldn’t be because of a lack of novelty after last night’s sleep, right?
"Secret." Xiao Jinsheng smiled mysteriously.
She went to find Caicai, using her superpower of invisibility to shield herself with the Star System Map.
"Have breakfast, after eating we still need to absorb the Star Stones to upgrade our Star Level," Xiao Jinsheng reminded everyone.
Sipping her meat porridge, Xiao Jinsheng reflected on her pre-travel self.
She used to eat alone, always pairing meals with drinks and watching good videos.
If she found delicious food, she always picked something visually appealing.
Whether novels or videos or just scrolling on her phone.
Eating something while keeping her eyes and hands busy was her routine.
Since coming to the Mist Continent, eating meals was always surrounded by attractive Beast Husbands.
Xiao Jinsheng let go of this habit.
Of course, it was also because the conditions didn’t allow it; after all, there were no phones on the Mist Continent.
But now, there was the Star System Map.
Taking the time during meals, Xiao Jinsheng curiously projected the Star System Map to check the image of the Fake Cloud Sky World.
It allowed the Beast Husbands to observe the Fake Cloud Sky World during meals.
Preventing too much idleness causing conversations to turn into arguments.
After all, constantly balancing everyone was tiring, wasn’t it?
"Hmm?" Que Zelian frowned as he looked at the projection, "Do you see on this level, there’s a new team?"
"These outfits are also from Marriott Star," Huaiqing observed the team that just entered the first layer platform of the Fake Cloud Sky World.
The same team of twelve, all wearing clothes marked with Marriott Star’s insignia.
However, differently, these twelve were all wearing masks and cloaks, appearing quite mysterious.
"This..." Lou Yan Zhi got up with focused eyes, moving closer to the projection, "This team is suspicious."
"What’s up?" Xiao Jinsheng curiously asked Lou Yan Zhi.
Lou Yan Zhi pointed at the twelve people on the projection, "Ignore the people in black and white robes."
"But the ten in gray robes with them look very familiar."
"Look at their heights, all very uniformly around 1.9 meters, but judging by the windswept height of their cloaks, their bulkiness doesn’t match the height standard at all."
"They look more like slender children wearing adult-sized clothes."
Listening to Lou Yan Zhi’s analysis, Xiao Jinsheng closely examined and saw that the ten in gray robes indeed matched this description.
The apparent skin draped over them didn’t seem large.
Yet what’s wrapped on them was all loose and billowing.
"You said they’re familiar, do you know them?" Que Zelian asked Lou Yan Zhi, speculating, "Or is it a race you’re familiar with?"
After all, Lou Yan Zhi’s understanding of the Interstellar World was certainly more extensive than theirs.
