Hearing the attendant's voice, Miss Topaz could only temporarily swallow the words she was about to say.
Although she desperately wanted to know the answer right now, she understood that this was not the right time.
"Miss Qingque, shall we serve the dishes now…?" Topaz asked tentatively.
"Hmm… let's serve them now. I'm a bit hungry too. As for that guy from my family, just ignore him for now."
"Alright."
Topaz nodded, then called out to the attendant outside the door.
"You may serve the dishes now."
After receiving Topaz's approval, the attendant outside carefully pushed open the door, as if afraid of disturbing the people inside.
As the door slowly opened, a faint, appetizing aroma wafted in. Immediately after, a line of attendants in neat uniforms entered, each carrying exquisite dishes.
Their steps were light and graceful, and the trays in their hands remained perfectly steady without the slightest shake. Every dish emitted an enticing fragrance that made one's mouth water. They were all authentic Xianzhou delicacies.
"Miss Qingque, I didn't know your tastes and preferences, so I took the liberty of ordering some authentic Xianzhou cuisine. Please don't mind."
"Hmm, Miss Topaz, you are very thoughtful."
...…
Inside the Luofu Grand Hotel, Topaz and Qingque spent a pleasant meal together.
It had to be said that the Luofu Grand Hotel truly lived up to its reputation as the most famous and luxurious hotel on the Xianzhou Luofu. The chefs' skills were all top-notch. Although they were still far inferior to Yun Fan's cooking, comparing humans to a god was simply not fair.
After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, Qingque leaned back contentedly against the soft leather chair with a satisfied expression on her face. Yes, their little Qingque was full.
Watching Qingque's satisfied face, Topaz felt secretly pleased. With a smile on her face, she seized the opportunity and spoke.
"Miss Qingque, are you satisfied?"
"Hmm, I'm very satisfied."
Qingque nodded slightly, then turned her gaze toward Topaz. Before the other party could speak, she took the initiative.
"If you have any requests or questions you want to ask, just say it directly."
"Haha, I really can't hide anything from you, Miss Qingque." Topaz scratched her head with slight embarrassment, then straightened her expression and spoke seriously.
"Actually, it's like this. Miss Qingque, please take a look."
Topaz slowly removed the white silk glove from her right hand with elegant movements.
Her right hand gradually came into view before Qingque, flawless like a piece of fine jade, emitting an alluring luster.
Her skin was as white as snow and as delicate as silk, enough to make anyone fall for it. However, what drew even more attention was the purple-gold imprint on the back of her hand.
This imprint was like a mysterious rune, faintly visible on her fair skin, occasionally emitting a gentle glow. That light was as brilliant as the stars, giving off a mysterious and solemn feeling.
"[Causality] imprint?"
Seeing this imprint, Qingque was not surprised at all. In fact, the moment she entered this private room earlier, she had already sensed a faint [Causality] aura emanating from Topaz.
Although this aura was very weak compared to someone like her, a true [Causality] Emanator, for ordinary Pathstriders, this power would absolutely be a crushing blow from a higher dimension.
"Hmm."
After hearing Qingque mention the [Causality] imprint, Topaz nodded. She gently stroked the imprint on the back of her hand and slowly spoke.
"To be honest with you, Miss Qingque, this [Causality] imprint was bestowed upon me by an Emanator of [Causality], the same as you…"
In the following time, Topaz detailed her experiences on Jarilo-VI to Qingque, including how she met Yun Fan and what he had done to her.
Yes, Miss Topaz did not hide anything. Although this seemed somewhat imprudent, it was actually very wise.
[Causality] Emanators were unfathomable, and the authority of [Causality] was ever-changing. Topaz had a deep understanding of how terrifying this authority was.
Therefore, rather than letting the other party become suspicious, it was better to be completely honest and tell her everything. Perhaps, after seeing her sincerity, the other party might…
"So that's how it is."
Qingque had a sudden realization, but inwardly she was secretly clicking her tongue. Yun Fan really knew how to play around. He made this innocent little girl his maid, and the agreement even explicitly stated that she had to serve him in bed…
"So, you want me to help you recharge the power of this [Causality] imprint, right?"
"Yes, exactly."
"Miss Qingque, before coming to find you, I tried many methods, but without exception, they all failed."
At this point, Topaz paused slightly before continuing.
"Perhaps because the power of [Causality] is particularly special, I cannot recharge the imprint through other means. But I believe that as a fellow [Causality] Emanator, you should definitely be able to do it."
"Hmm… stretch your hand over here. Let me take a look."
...…
"I wonder how those two are chatting. By the looks of the time, it should be about right. It's almost time for me to make my entrance."
In Qingque's home, Mr. Yun Fan leaned lazily on the sofa. About two system hours had passed since Qingque left for the banquet. It was time for him to appear.
"Topaz, oh Topaz, I wonder what kind of expression you'll have when you see me?"
Thinking of this, the corners of Yun Fan's mouth could not help but curve into a smile. Then, with a flash, the young man disappeared from the spot.
...
Inside the Luofu Grand Hotel…
"I'm very sorry, Miss Topaz. I am also powerless regarding the imprint on the back of your hand."
Qingque shook her head and sighed.
"Eh? Even you, Miss Qingque, cannot recharge it?"
Topaz asked unwillingly.
'Of course I can recharge it, but if I really do that for you, Yun Fan will definitely give me a good scolding tonight…'
Qingque grumbled inwardly, but outwardly she wore a regretful expression.
"The person who gave you the imprint left a lock within it. To recharge the imprint, the executor's strength must be above his."
