Since Elysia was so concerned about the Starskiff, and today's main purpose was to take her around the Luofu and have a good time, Levi put Stelle's disappearance aside for the time being.
He could deal with it tomorrow, or some other time.
Wasn't finding her easy?
With a wave of his hand, a million Cloud Knights could be mobilized and sweep through all the foot-washing parlors. Would he still be unable to find Stelle?
For the rest of the day, Levi took Elysia around various places on the Luofu.
They visited many of the larger and smaller caverns.
They even went to the currently sealed Scaledgorge Waterscape under Levi's lead.
He just didn't know why, during the whole process, Levi always felt as if there were a pair of eyes watching him and Elysia from behind.
But whenever he turned around to look, he couldn't find anything.
It even made him think that a heliobus had set its sights on him.
It wasn't until he sent Elysia back, he opened the chat group.
The first thing he saw was...
[Lumine: Levi and Elysia's Happy Day...]
[Kiana: That's a wrap!]
[Stelle: Clap clap clap clap clap...]
[Stelle: Don't get the wrong idea, I'm applauding.]
[Asta: The only person who would get the wrong idea is probably you, right?]
[Stelle: Tsk~ What kind of thing is that to say!]
[Elysia: I agree with Asta's opinion. The only person who would get the wrong idea is you.]
[Elysia: But...]
[Elysia: What the heck is "Levi and Elysia's Happy Day" supposed to mean!]
'What has everyone been talking about in the chat group all this time!'
Just like Levi, Elysia only discovered that this had happened in the chat group after opening it now.
Scrolling upward, there were all kinds of photos of herself and Levi.
At the time, she had been having so much fun that Elysia had never paid attention to how she and Levi were interacting.
She hadn't expected them to look so close.
It was a little embarrassing. What should she do?
Taking a deep breath, Elysia prepared to interrogate the culprit behind all this.
The stalker who had followed her all day and sent an average of one photo every minute, Miss Lumine.
[Levi: Lumine, do you have anything else to say?]
Before she could even speak, Levi beat her to it.
He thought Lumine would make excuses, but unexpectedly, she admitted it directly and dragged Kiana into it as well.
[Kiana: ?]
[Kiana: No! What did I do?]
She had gone with Lumine to secretly take photos?
Give her a break!
She already felt somewhat annoyed whenever she saw these two. How could she possibly go with Lumine to watch them up close?
Besides, she had spent the entire day thinking about what was making her feel annoyed.
She simply had no time to run around the Luofu with Lumine.
[Lumine: Didn't do anything. It's simply that you're the group owner, so you should naturally maintain order in the group...]
Seeing this long string of text, Kiana's eyes turned cold.
[Kiana: I understand.]
[Ding! "Group Member" Lumine has been muted for 8760 hours by "Group Owner" Kiana!]
[Stelle: Oh ho ho...]
[Ding! "Group Member" Stelle has been muted for 8760 hours by "Group Owner" Kiana!]
[Stelle: "..."]
'No! I only sent an "Oh ho ho." How did I get muted too?'
[Kiana: You offended my eyes.]
[Elysia: 8760 hours... How long is that?]
[Levi: One year. All I can say is, nicely done!]
[Kiana: Hmph~]
For a long time afterward, the chat group fell into prolonged silence.
Stelle and Lumine begged Levi first, and then Kiana, asking them to unmute them.
The rest of the time simply passed.
They couldn't possibly wait out an entire year.
In the end, after calming down, Kiana unmuted the two of them and raised a question. "Shouldn't you have gone to Levi and asked him to unmute you instead?"
After all, if you went to ask the person who had muted you for help, unless they were as kind as her, there was definitely no hope.
After a brief silence, the two replied at the same time.
"The price is too high. We can't afford it."
———
Back at home, looking at the empty room, Levi couldn't help muttering, "Did the Divination Commission work overtime today?"
Usually, Qingque would already be lying on the bed at this hour, waiting for him to feed her.
He glanced at Little Fairy, who had already lain down and fallen asleep, and couldn't help shaking his head.
At this rate, she'd turn into a pig sooner or later.
———
On the other side, at Central Starskiff Haven, Qingque stood in front of a Vidyadhara man with two Cloud Knights beside her. She had her arms crossed, kept a straight face, and said nothing the entire time.
In the end, the Vidyadhara couldn't help asking, "What business do you three have with me, sirs?"
Tap! Tap! Tap!
Qingque lightly tapped her fingers against her arm, staring fixedly at the Vidyadhara before her. Her lips moved.
"You're that con artist?"
"Don't rush to deny it. I've already investigated all your information."
Qingque interrupted the Vidyadhara who wanted to argue. Looking at the cold sweat appearing on his forehead, she was now basically certain that he was the so-called "Beautiful Fox Fairy," Daiqing.
Her staying up all night hadn't been for nothing. She had even found an excuse to get out of today's work, all so she could find out exactly who this Daiqing was.
She had originally wanted to see exactly what kind of beauty could make Levi so lovesick, but the result was completely ordinary.
Looking the supposed "Beautiful Fox Fairy" Daiqing up and down, her gaze became even colder.
He wasn't even a Foxian.
The other party still wanted to argue.
"Um, you have the wrong person. I'm not the Fox Fairy Daiqing."
Qingque said coldly, "When did I say you were Daiqing?"
"Uh... When did you, when did you..."
After carefully thinking about it, Qingque really hadn't said that he was Daiqing, nor had she said anything related to Daiqing.
After realizing this, the "Fox Fairy Daiqing" became even more flustered.
Cold sweat poured out.
Qingque tugged at the corner of her mouth, revealing a smile as cold as frost. "You've got the guts to steal someone's man, but not the guts to admit it, huh? Miss Daiqing."
Whether intentionally or not, Qingque deliberately emphasized the word "Miss."
"I... well... this... that."
Looking at him, Qingque silently made a call.
"Hello?"
Hearing the familiar voice from the other end, Qingque said coldly, "Come over and meet your beloved!"
'Beloved?'
Levi froze on the other end. 'What beloved could I have?'
'Only a beloved pair of legs, right?'
'Mm, and one beloved tail.'
Anyway, he had all kinds of beloved things, but he simply didn't have a specific beloved person.
Just as he was about to ask for more details, he discovered that Qingque had already hung up.
There was nowhere left to ask.
"Beloved... beloved, beloved? Beloved!"
'I get it!'
The corners of Levi's mouth rose uncontrollably, revealing a bright smile.
"I knew you could do it, Qingque!"
He glanced at the location sent to his jade sign and, while hurrying there, opened the chat group.
[Levi: @Asta.]
[Asta: I'm here.]
[Levi: Dear Asta, by the time you receive this message, there has already been a breakthrough in the matter of the "Beautiful Fox Fairy" Daiqing. This is all thanks to my intelligence and wisdom. Please don't be stingy with your praise, and praise Levi's wisdom to your heart's content.]
[Stelle: You're so amazing.]
[Lumine: That's so awesome!]
[Levi: I think I heard a dog's barking? Miss Asta, did you hear it?]
[Asta: ...]
Qingque closed her jade sign and looked coldly at Daiqing, who was standing between the two Cloud Knights.
"Wait. Your lover will be here soon."
