Chapter 1340: 452. The Return of the Wise and New Adventures - [Additional 19/25]_3

"Okay, talking to them will do."

Meng Ha shrugged and said,

"Do you want to come with me to find them? Look, I’ve just learned teleportation, the big boss taught me herself, and said that I have a lot of talent. She even invited me to join her ’Red Devil Hall’ and plans to make me her champion.

Quite stable, actually.

I’ve been told that because I have a knack for ’spatial awareness,’ the odds of mishaps with my teleportation get minimized to almost nothing.

Now that I think about it, the material world’s relative mapping formula to the Star Realm seems quite ancient, and the psychics all over the Continent haven’t thought to update it.

These guys are really too lazy, maybe I should help them out with this."

"I’m not going anywhere."

Sister Pomegranate pursed her lips and said,

"Even a 0.1% risk of losing control is still a risk, and I’m not going to dabble in dangerous stuff for no reason. ’Lady Shui’ is over in the ancestral woodlands right now. You go find them and make sure you bring them back safely."

"Okay."

Mengha nodded. She waved her magic wand rather clumsily to open a crimson rift.

Amidst the faint dissipation of Star Realm energy, she turned back to Sister Pomegranate and said,

"Sorry, Pomegranate, for keeping all this from you, but I really didn’t want it to affect our relationship. If there’s something I could do to make you forgive me sooner..."

"I’ve already forgiven you."

Sister Pomegranate said, but Mengha shook her head and explained,

"No, you haven’t. I know you too well, you stubborn mule. I reckon I’ll have to do a lot to get rid of the thorn in your side, but I deserve it... Just give me a bit more time, Pomegranate.

I’ll prove that I value our friendship more than many things.

You’ve always been the one protecting me, and now it’s finally my turn to protect you from the shadows."

With that, Meng Ha took a step forward and vanished into the crimson rift, leaving Sister Pomegranate alone on the edge of this secluded spot near the swamp. She stared at the dissipating crimson light, and after several seconds of silence, she clenched her fist and swung it fiercely.

It was as though she was venting all her frustration.

On the other hand, in the Elder’s cottage in the ancestral woodlands, "Lady Shui" was humming a tune while taking off her nun robes, reduced to her close-fitting undergarments as she prepared to don the "Spirit of the Mountain Woods ritual attire" that had cost her quite a bit.

Particularly, she was full of anticipation because of the unique design of the ceremonial garb. Although it carried the rustic and robust characteristics typical of mountain folk, it was also infused with the lively spirit of life.

Especially the large, green leaf patterns and sun motifs around the waistline of the garb praised the simplicity of nature, and the rare sleeveless design with a pair of long-sleeved wrist guards was very cleverly matched. It showcased the Avalon Believers tattoos on "Lady Shui’s" arms, enhancing her wildness while adding a mysterious aura befitting a person of her spiritual office.

Besides its clever design, the attributes of this ritual attire were also impressive. Even though it did not add attributes, the four terms associated with it were all about enhancing Natural Psychic Power. Wearing it would boost "Lady Shui’s"... um, healing effects by at least a third.

She could finally transition into a professional healer.

Of course, the best part about this outfit for "Lady Shui," given her "special situation," was that the ancient Mountain People’s elders who crafted the attire had imbued it with a natural encrypted message, allowing it to adjust and fit according to the wearer’s body shape. This made it unnecessary for "Lady Shui" to alter the size herself or feel uncomfortably squeezed into it.

But an accident struck quickly!

Just as "Lady Shui" picked up the ceremonial attire to put it on, a crimson light suddenly opened up above the roof of the cottage. Amid a cacophony of wailing and screaming, to "Lady Shui’s" astonishment, a figure wreathed in chaotic power tumbled down ungracefully and landed with a thump right onto the bed in front of her.

The poor wooden bed broke upon impact, and amidst a cloud of dust, the victim of a "teleportation mishap," Meng HaHa, lay there with a face full of grime.

Several of her bones were broken, causing her to cry out in agony.

"Well, look who it is, if it isn’t our fancy ’spy miss.’"

"Lady Shui" covered her barely cloaked body with the ritual attire and drew out her words with a teasing tone.

She wasn’t scared, though, and casually cast a Rejuvenation Skill at Meng HaHa to ease her pain a bit.

The dirt-smudged Meng HaHa turned to express her thanks, but upon seeing "Lady Shui’s" exaggerated figure in just her undergarments, even the currently disheveled Meng HaHa couldn’t stop herself from quipping,

"Hey! How do you manage to keep your upper body so full while your lower body stays so well-proportioned? This isn’t something you can achieve with fitness or yoga. Your husband must have saved the galaxy in his past life, and you, well, you were surely a succubus that couldn’t get enough of him, right?"

"Tsk, just lucky I guess, not like I have any control over it."

"Lady Shui" smirked, and then asked,

"So, why did you come here? Just to make fun of me? Do you realize that as the current leader of the Silver Moon Group, I’ve been pretty unhappy with what you’ve been doing these past few weeks."

"I’ve come to apologize. ’Little Pomegranate’ almost beat me up just now."

Meng HaHa said with a wry grimace,

"Also, I need to talk to you about Cement Sealed Heart’s situation. I don’t need to beat around the bush with you. Cement Sister, with Ruyi’s help the day before yesterday, sent an encrypted message ’home.’ She’s researching the scientific principles behind Alpha Company’s game helmets and confirmed she’s being monitored by the other side.

It’s too late for her to leave now, which is why she hasn’t been in touch with you guys recently.

She needs help.

I can assist her, but I need your trust and cooperation."

"Ah, I just knew it."

"Lady Shui" massaged her temples, resignedly saying,

"Alright, what do I need to do to help you?"

"Uh, how about getting dressed first? You’re exposing yourself, sister, and at this rate, my confidence as a woman is going to be totally shattered by your demoness figure... As for Cement Sister, she needs a ’beacon’!

We need to find a beacon for her in Transylvania.

Of course, it’s hard.

But I think it’s not entirely hopeless."
