Chapter 1061: Chapter 489: The Farthest Distance

After making his decision, Mu You immediately sent a message, calling the three avatars back.

"[Cultivation ended, your fatigue has dissipated, and your attributes have fully recovered.]

Three hours later, it was already deep into the night, and Mu You’s cultivation had finally ended.

By this time, both the Medicinal Plant Gatherer and Ling Long had returned, with only the Watchman still slowly making his way back.

Mu You tried to open the backpack he carried.

This backpack was a special one he used in the Star Spirit World; it housed several pets such as Little Spider and was used for transportation of the Chocobo, which were usually placed inside.

The backpack could not be opened in different planes. If the Bitter Garden was indeed some sort of discreet space, then the backpack should not open here, and Mu You did not hold out much hope.

But to his surprise, the backpack actually opened smoothly!

"[You open the drawstring of the backpack, and out scramble the Gluttonous Demon Spider, Little Phoenix, and Little Two-Headed Dragon, vying with each other as if they’ve been abandoned by their master for many days. Excitedly, they circle around you, cling to your legs, chirping and chattering non-stop, all begging you to embrace them...]

Mu You looked at the text message and couldn’t help but fall into deep thought.

Being able to directly open the backpack further suggested that his current location was indeed the Star Spirit World. But why?

Why had no one seen this Sky City for so many years?

After pondering, Mu You set up a Dark Transfer array in the room and attempted to jump into it.

A prompt appeared: "[No other teleportation arrays detected within this plane, unable to teleport.]

"No other teleportation arrays?"

Mu You immediately became even more confused. He had several teleportation points set up in the Star Spirit World, and now all were unresponsive... So was this truly the Star Spirit World or not?

The more Mu You thought about it, the more baffled he became. He could only set it aside for now and went outside to get some pet canned food from Little Ya. He sent them into the game and fed each of the three pets before assigning them back to the three avatars as previously planned.

"[You issue a ’Explore the Land of Calamity’ mission to your second avatar. The Medicinal Plant Gatherer takes the Little Two-Headed Dragon and departs first, heading north of the Bitter Garden in search of the Country of Calamity.]

Having sent the Medicinal Plant Gatherer on his way, Mu You found a secluded spot in reality and summoned Ling Long out by herself.

"Why did you intervene earlier?" Mu You asked the girl in front of him sternly.

"?" Ling Long blinked her innocent large eyes and spread her hands, "Body, seeing such a beautiful and adorable creature being bullied, didn’t you feel any impulse to play the hero and save the beauty?"

"Impulse is one thing, but the difference between humans and animals is that humans can suppress many of the incorrect emotions with rationale. By doing what you did, didn’t the mission fail?"

"Oh, about that, the tracking mission, I had already completed it a long time ago," Ling Long patted her chest and smiled, "I can guarantee, this kid is a good person, she won’t harm us, you can rest assured."

"How are you so sure?" Mu You frowned.

"A woman’s intuition," Ling Long confidently said.

Mu You immediately gave her a look of extreme puzzlement.

"Hey hey, what’s with that expression, Body? Don’t tell me you’re thinking that since your real body is a straight, steel man, you won’t have any emotions in your avatars, right? Please, I was separated from the skin of a real girl, I’m a genuine woman before I’m your avatar, I have all the traits a woman should have!" Ling Long said.

"Hmm, I believe... but you’d better come up with a more reliable reason," Mu You said.

"Alright, alright, I’ll confess, actually, I did a divination before we set off," Ling Long helplessly spread her hands.

"Oh?"

"Of course, I did not directly divine her relationship with us, but used some indirect methods to confirm she is harmless to us. To be more precise, she is harmless to everyone. She is a being with a truly pure and kind heart, and furthermore..."

"Furthermore, what?"

"Furthermore, her days are numbered," Ling Long sighed, "I saw her death in the Crystal Ball, coming soon..."

"I see..."

Mu You nodded. Avatars and the original body could only synchronize memories once a day, and today they could no longer synchronize.

However, he did not doubt Ling Long’s words. No matter how whimsical her personality, she was ultimately his avatar. They were completely aligned in their bottom line and interests and wouldn’t mess up on such critical matters. If she said they could trust, then it was trustworthy.

"So, what’s next? Why did you summon me here alone, Body?" Ling Long found a chair to sit down, mysteriously producing a bag of sunflower seeds, and began to crack them open with her leg propped up.

She was sure that Mu You wouldn’t have called her out just to rehash an already settled matter.

"There’s a mission, regarding one of the countries within the Fairy territory..." Mu You did not waste time and gave her a brief overview of the Rose Duchy situation and his decision to arrange for her to go undercover in the Rose Duchy.

Before Mu You could finish, Ling Long’s eyes widened in disbelief, and sunflower seeds spilled onto the floor as she stared at him, utterly shocked.

"Body, are you actually... planning to have me trade my innocence for information?" Ling Long looked at him in disbelief, then suddenly burst into tears, covering her face, "How could you... Don’t avatars have dignity? Do you know how important reputation is to a girl, though I’m an avatar, I’m also a person, have you considered my feelings..."
