Chapter 96: Talent and Mischief

The portal didn’t just pop up out of nowhere.

It materialized slowly.

But for it to complete itself, it needed time and qi, spending both of them at the same time.

The process itself was easy for Noa.

Nothing new happened.

Just the usual store shaking, the air changing directions, and a pretty sight he loved to watch.

Yun Qiqi shared the same feeling.

She jumped back and forth, excited as she was about to meet Mia again.

Every morning, she waited for the evening to come. Her wish to meet her big sister rose each day, causing her heart to beat with passion.

"Are you ready?" Noa asked her, offering her a hand.

The girl blinked at him for a second. Then she took his hand and smiled, pointing for Puff and Umbu to follow as well.

The latter climbed up on Noa’s shoulder. He took a comfortable seat and glanced at the still half-finished portal, waiting for its completion.

The former neared the girl.

Though the slime came to like Umbu, he didn’t really want to travel with him.

Hence, he allowed the girl to hold him in her other hand.

The room, meanwhile, went silent.

It wasn’t Qing Xuan’s and Xue Hanly’s first time seeing Noa opening the portal and going through another dimension.

Yet, each time it happened, they couldn’t help but feel fascinated by it.

How energy seemed to wrap in a single location.

The threads of qi and the laws of the universe seemed to mix, creating something so... foreign, new, and unexplainable.

Its colors folded together with purpose just to emit a strong spiritual pressure.

Each eye that landed on this phenomenon couldn’t move.

They were frozen by its sheer fullness and beauty, forcing everyone who looked at it to marvel at its excellence.

Noa’s employees might have seen it before, but the store had other people, too.

The guards who had met Noa only moments ago.

A rich woman, whose enhanced vision sought to read through the inscriptions and failed spectacularly.

No matter who the person was, they couldn’t move.

The rift opened like a tear in space.

It lingered like a scar and expanded like a dead star before an explosion.

No external forces were used in the process. His simple movement was enough for reality itself to give way, following his whims.

Then, without a single word, Noa stepped forward.

Umbu remained on his shoulders, while Qiqi walked beside him, holding his hand in one and carrying Puff with the other.

The twirling portal didn’t exclude terrifying pressure.

It just had an eerie stillness, causing the spectators to gulp in uncertainty.

Mo Yuhua’s heart skipped a beat as she watched Noa leave. She stared without blinking her focused eyes.

Then she noticed how the rift swallowed him and his companions.

Gone!

Like nature.

Silent. Indifferent.

The tear remained open just a second longer before collapsing into the store, leaving no trace of its existence.

She, too, like her guards, stood motionless.

None of them spoke for a little while, falling into their own thoughts.

They had long since realized that the store didn’t belong to a human... It’s just that they couldn’t dare to search for a better definition.

The silence only crumbled when Xue Hanly and Qing Xuan snapped out of their daze.

They were the first ones to regain their composure and guided Mo Yuhua towards the next products she had to try.

Noa, on the other hand, enjoyed the travel.

The well-cooked steak’s scent still lingered on his way to Earth, watering his mouth.

One moment later, the nothingness disappeared from his vision.

It was replaced by a familiar atmosphere, with a cold breeze gently tickling his skin, as if announcing that he was back on his home planet.

Smiling under his breath, Noa patted the little fellow.

"Ra-ra! Raaa!"

Umbu locked eyes with him and made strange noises.

"Chii-chii-chii!"

It didn’t just end there, as the dragon enjoyed the trip and wholeheartedly expressed his emotions.

"Someone is excited," Noa said, already walking through the park. "We are going to meet Mia. You will play with her this time, right?"

The dragon flipped his wings.

Then it chirped, shaking its tail and head at the same time.

"Umbu is quite stubborn," Yun Qiqi commented, and poked the slime, who didn’t react much.

It had a familiar smile plastered.

His body jiggled between her fingers, bouncing with no desire to leave her side.

"We should help these two," Noa said, reaching the stairs. He meant his sister and the dragon, thinking about how to solve the awkwardness between them. "You have a knack for that."

Noa knew how talented Yun Qiqi was at handling others’ emotions.

She could influence moods, shift perspectives, and even alter the relationships between people.

And she did it instinctively.

That’s why everyone who had interacted with and had seen her smile even once could agree how adorable she was.

It felt like she had authority over something.

Something Noa couldn’t explain, but felt every time his eyes landed on her.

’Is it because of Seed?’ he considered.

The girl, meanwhile, looked at him with wide eyes.

She sensed how much trust he had for her, basking in a sudden pride that swelled in her chest.

"You can trust me. Yun Qiqi will make sure to solve the problem."

Her voice was high.

She even raised her head, showing her confidence.

Noa, however, watched her when a sudden voice reverberated through the building he had just entered.

"Chii-chii-chii!"

Umbu chimed in.

He buried his head behind Noa’s head, hiding from the strangers.

"It’s okay, buddy. Don’t be afraid."

Noa whispered like a dad.

And ascending the stairs, his mind was filled with thoughts as he finally reached the familiar door.

But before he knocked, the door snapped open on its own.

Mia stood there.

Her hair was a little messy, her face witty, and her voice full of mischief.

"Come on in. I have a present for you."

A thin blanket was wrapped around her stomach as her eyes locked onto Umbu.
