Chapter 1508: Chapter 1509: Fastest Clearance
"Uncle!" Xiao Yuan was the most enthusiastic, running up to Xu Huo to report on her studies over the days, and casually ntioned Tan Qi’s.
Tan Qi was still as taciturn as when he first arrived, but his expression wasn’t as full of silent resentnt now. Unlike Xiao Yuan and Mr. Dong, he didn’t walk up to Xu Huo but stood at the doorway.
The Girl in the painting was less concerned with such formalities. Under the requirent of "imitating a normal person," she took small steps out of the castle as if she were a virtuous wife and mother, willingly "taking" Xu Huo’s coat from Mr. Dong’s hands, then looked at Xu Huo with an expression of shy determination, mouthing, "You’re back."
Xu Huo, used to such scenes, noticed Dr. Deng wasn’t in the castle and casually inquired.
"Dr. Deng is out," Mr. Dong replied.
Feeling safe, Dr. Deng no longer remained in the castle day and night but road the city in changing appearances. Mr. Dong couldn’t interfere with his actions but kept an eye on his whereabouts.
"Dr. Deng has purchased quite a bit of potion materials."
"Has he been to the third floor?" Xu Huo asked again.
"No," Mr. Dong said, "Nor did he try to go to the third floor."
Sounded rather honest.
"Should I contact him to return?" Mr. Dong asked proactively.
"No need, I will be leaving soon," Xu Huo ca specifically for the Girl in the painting, patting Xiao Yuan on the head, he smiled and said, "Please help
prepare lunch."
Mr. Dong nodded slightly and turned to go to the kitchen.
Both kids were understanding, showing no dependency on Xu Huo, though Xiao Yuan’s face still showed evident reluctance.
Angel tactfully took her leave.
Xu Huo took out candies and snacks he bought from the outer district to share with Xiao Yuan and others. Tan Qi wasn’t very interested, but the Girl in the painting welcod everything, joining the children in discussing whether the candies tasted good.
"We’re going to eat soon," Tan Qi reminded beside them.
Xiao Yuan obediently put down the candy, "Then I’ll eat it after lunch."
The Girl in the painting didn’t care about such details, she sat on the sofa peeling off her portion. Xu Huo sat opposite her and began, "There’s a small matter I’d like your help with, but it requires leaving Rose Castle temporarily."
The Girl in the painting jumped up, a noticeable joy on her face, but then modestly arranged her clothes, restrainedly nodding, indicating willingness to go with him.
In truth, she’d long been tired of staying in the castle. Neither the garden nor new clothes could keep her happy for long; what sustained her until now was role-playing.
Due to her unique status, Xu Huo had previously instructed her not to leave the castle casually, and also had Mr. Dong watch her, both complying with his request.
"Where are we going?" The Girl in the painting used a communicator to speak, "Should I prepare in advance?"
Xu Huo had entrusted Mr. Dong with preparing dry grains and water. Any equipnt they might need—protective suits, antitoxin, self-healing potions, physical enhancent potions—could be purchased from the ga platform. Only remote teleporter tools had a certain delivery ti.
The devices and props for shuttling across space were not only expensive but scarce, especially the devices. Ordinary players might not even be qualified to purchase them, whereas within the sa space it was much simpler. Although expensive, they’re not difficult to buy.
While the Girl in the painting spoke, he had already ordered one from the auction house.
"You’ll know once we get there. Let Mr. Dong know if there’s anything you need," Xu Huo added, "We’ll set off in the afternoon."
The Girl in the painting indicated she would take pre-prepared items and hurried upstairs to pack.
Soon, she ca down "fully ard
