"How is it? Seeing the universe's most adorable Sparkle-sama at a time like this, after killing someone and being distraught—isn't it a surprise? My dear?"
Sparkle skipped over to Wei, tilting her head and smiling at him.
"I don't feel any surprise, but I am startled. When I meet you, nothing good ever happens."
Wei sighed, then saw a delicate white hand reach out and cup his hand.
Although the wound had healed, there was still a trace of blood lingering on his arm.
Sparkle extended her small, lilac-colored tongue and gently licked the still-wet blood on Wei's arm, her expression flushed with satisfaction.
However, she looked at the remaining blood with some regret; one drop was enough to satisfy her...
"What are you doing?"
Feeling the warm, moist sensation on his arm, Wei couldn't help but twitch his mouth.
"Of course, I'm cleaning your arm, my dear. Instead of letting these flowers benefit, it's better for me to taste them."
"You're not as cute as my flowers."
Wei pouted.
"That's truly heartbreaking. To think that you took advantage of me back then, and now you say such heartless words... If you don't like me, then I'll just leave. Poor little Sparkle will just have to go back and cry under a small blanket, boo hoo hoo, how pitiful!"
As she spoke, Sparkle blinked, and two tears actually squeezed out.
"Can you stop saying things that are ambiguous?"
Wei looked at the drama queen, twitching his mouth as he spoke.
"Am I not speaking the truth?"
Sparkle retorted.
Wei twitched his mouth. No kidding, she was indeed speaking the truth.
In fact, during that war, if it hadn't been for Sparkle's help, he wouldn't have been able to escape so easily.
At that time, because Wei's identity was exposed, besides some Xianzhou people, even some members of the Anti-Matter Legion and the Abundance Faction had ill intentions towards him. After all, his body was simply too tempting, like the flesh of a Tang Monk. If they obtained him, they wouldn't need to do anything else; just imprisoning him and draining his blood daily would provide a significant boost. With Wei's regenerative abilities, he would truly be unable to live or die.
His eventual escape was also due to Sparkle's help. A spectacle that brought together the three major forces of the universe would naturally not be missed by a Aha. So Sparkle contributed one of her bodies, infused it with Wei's power, and created a so-called 'Envoy's Remnant Body,' which Wei then manipulated to be defeated in plain sight. Ultimately, his body was divided among the three factions, and the farce was thus quelled.
Therefore, Wei still felt grateful to Sparkle. After all, if it weren't for her, he would probably be locked in some dark room right now, being exploited day and night...
Of course, gratitude aside, if he could, Wei didn't want Sparkle to come here. After all, her appearance meant that Yaoging was in for a big show. What was fun for Sparkle might not necessarily be fun for him.
"What do you want to do here?"
Wei looked at the other party and asked.
"Do what? Of course, I'm looking for fun! Whatever the Aha likes to see, I will create—that's the meaning of a Masked Fool, isn't it?"
"So when you're looking for fun, can you not make me the fun?"
Wei said with a slight twitch of his mouth.
"Of course—not!
You are the center of this farce, my dear!"
"What do you mean?"
Wei frowned.
"You don't really think your feigned death back then could fool these people forever, do you? There aren't that few fools in this universe—"
Sparkle said with a smile, rubbing the head of Big Huang next to her.
Big Huang, who was usually fearless except around himself and his wife, was like a chihuahua in front of Sparkle.
"What a good doggy. How about you lend him to me for a few days to play with?"
"Of course not. If he leaves, who will guard my home? Also, what did you mean by what you just said... that they found out I'm not dead? That shouldn't be; to create that body back then, I had to recuperate for a long time to recover my vitality."
Wei stroked his chin. To create a body convincing enough to fool both the Xianzhou and the Abundance Faction, Wei had gone to great lengths back then. With his regenerative abilities, even if he were reduced to molecular form, he could recover in an instant. But after escaping back then, he had to recover for a full year.
That body was definitely worthy of the title 'Divine Body.' The key to the 'raccoon dog for a crown prince' trick was that the raccoon dog was sufficiently similar.
"That's right, that body was indeed strong, but don't forget, it was still your power. Although you tried your best to sever the connection with that body back then, a broken lotus root still has connecting fibers. The Path of the Hunt has many ways to lock onto fate. But well... you don't need to be nervous, my dear. If they could accurately pinpoint your location... you would have been captured long ago—"
"Got it. Then I'll pack up today and take my wife to travel the universe. If they can't pinpoint my location, then there are many options."
Wei nodded, saying with feigned seriousness.
"That won't do. You have to stay here, or my fun will be gone."
"I can barely protect myself, why should I care about your fun?"
Wei sneered, "You really only think about yourself."
"You don't want your wife to know your Abundance Emissary identity, do you, my dear?"
"?" Wei pointed a finger at her, looking as if to say, 'Watch your words.'
To be honest, while Wei was confident that his wife wouldn't change anything even if his identity were exposed, he wasn't ready for it yet.
"What exactly do you want to do?"
If anyone else had threatened him like this, Wei would have surely thought about killing them to silence them. But he and Sparkle were old acquaintances, and she had helped him before; he wasn't so heartless. Besides...
He couldn't kill her anyway... who knew if the one in front of him was even her true body?
"Hmm... I haven't thought about it yet. I'll tell you when I do!"
Sparkle clapped her small fists and said.
"Then I hope you never figure it out..."
Wei sighed.
"Hehe, alright, it's getting late, I should go. Oh, right, I brought you some gifts! They'll be arriving soon—oh, and they're the backup plan your old friend mentioned—and also, be careful recently, a 'Divine Mirror Ice' has arrived on the Xianzhou. Make sure not to expose your identity—"
With that, Sparkle's figure instantly transformed into fireworks and dissipated, leaving only a fox mask behind.
"Divine Mirror Ice? What's that?"
Just as Wei was still wondering, the next moment, the front door of the clinic was roughly opened.
"Doctor! Doctor! Come out quickly!"
