The words “Show your true form” made the Inspector feel as if his grace had been degraded by a hundred notches.
But the sentence that followed subtly improved his mood.
“Of course, there are many things in this world that humans don’t understand, aren’t there?” replied the Inspector.
“So, your humanoid appearance, is it really just for convenience?” Bai Youwei glanced at the tea and pastries on the small round table, and asked candidly, “Does having afternoon tea also serve some kind of purpose?”
“It’s a small indulgence of mine.” It took its seat once again, crossing its legs. The long, slender legs overlapped like two folded sugarcane stems.
“Engaging in popular human activities allows me to have a more accurate understanding of human reactions and changes in the game.” It took a delicate sip of tea, smiling elegantly. “A cup of tea, some pastries, they create a cozy and relaxed atmosphere, providing a sense of peace and warmth. It’s a soothing end to a tiring day. Quite fascinating, isn’t it?”
Bai Youwei said, “Afternoon tea is even more fascinating when enjoyed with others, would you like to give it a try?”
“…” Unable to hold back any longer, Shen MO grabbed her shoulder, “Stop fooling around.”
Bai Youwei whispered back, “What if it actually agrees?”
The Inspector chuckled, “What a pity, the time for afternoon tea is always fleeting.”
It wiped the corners of its mouth lightly with a napkin and stood up, adjusting its golden bow tie. As it finished, the small round table, together with the tea set and pastries, vanished as if by a masterful magic trick.
“Dear young lady,” said the Inspector, his voice laced with condescension tinged with a potential honesty, “If you manage to survive this party, we might have a chance to enjoy afternoon tea together in the future.”
Bai Youwei simply uttered “Oh,” and continued her inquiries without changing her demeanor: “So, not only did you monitor this game, but there are other games you are involved in as well? If two or more games were activated at the same time, which one would you go to? Do you have any helpers?”
The Inspector:
Bai Youwei shrugged, “If you think I am trying to trick you, just pretend I never asked.”
The Inspector gave Bai Youwei a fleeting glance and then directed his gaze towards the distance, ignoring her with a cold demeanor.
Bai Youwei, barely phased, sneered and muttered to Shen Mo: “I’m sure it has some form of assistance, otherwise how could it handle so many games? It even has time for afternoon tea.’
“Not necessarily an assistant,” Shen MO replied, “There could potentially be more than one body for the Inspector.”
Bai Youwei’s eyes widened in surprise, “Yes, there might be multiple bodies for the Inspector… Brother, you are so smart!”
The back-and-forth between the two was indeed noisy, causing slight annoyance to the Inspector. Fortunately, a few individuals emerged from the direction of the forest, which somewhat improved the Inspector’s mood— His favorite part had finally arrived.
“Tell me quickly, have you picked the flowers you wanted?” The Inspector couldn’t wait to inquire from the five individuals who had returned.
With wilted flower stems in their hands and complicated expressions on their faces, they even appeared to be in pain.
They had indeed all chosen the most beautiful flowers, but no one had expected that on the return journey, the condition of the flowers would drastically decline with loss of moisture, even the most beautiful of flowers were losing their luster!
“If they aren’t put in water soon, they’ll wither for good.” Bai Youwei remarked coldly.
Upon hearing the reminder, the people no longer dared to delay, and quickly placed their flowers into a glass vase—
There were roses, lilies, orchids, tulips… rare King flowers, and the truly beautiful peonies.
What a pity that all these flowers were withering to some extent. The petals of the peony and rose had lost their vibrancy, instead were fading into a state of decay with a light brown hue..
