Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Today, London was unexpectedly sunny, and Big Ben had been reopened. At this ti of afternoon, there would inevitably be a large crowd visiting Big Ben up close—the locations of Spirit Veins in various countries had long been known worldwide and could hardly be concealed.
However, whether before or after the Spirit Veins were opened, despite the efforts of scientists, scholars, architects, surveying experts, and powerful Transcendents, no one had been able to discover anything special about these Spirit Veins.
"fala, nothing else has happened at Elizabeth Tower for many days now, and Karen misses ho," Euphy said.
In a cafe not far from Big Ben, on the second floor, Euphy sat beside Karen, smiling as she watched Karen tackle a cream cake, speaking to fala who sat opposite them.
They had been interacting for a full two months. Euphy, barely maintaining her position as Family Head, naively tried to befriend this highly esteed lady from Britain’s circle of Transcendents. fala also wanted to be on good terms with Karen’s sister, so the two naturally beca friends who could converse intimately.
The other seats on the second floor were, of course, filled with bodyguards from the Ranpelrouge Family and National Land Retrieval Committee mbers. However, compared to the solemn attire of the bodyguards, the committee mbers were dressed in casual and relaxed outfits.
The bodyguards looked anxiously at these young committee mbers, knowing they were the legendary Transcendents.
Yet, although the young committee mbers were also enjoying afternoon tea, they would occasionally glance nervously at the adorable loli Karen, who was not even ten years old. As Transcendents, they could more keenly feel the terror emanating from Karen.
fala nodded. "The Vidalia Intelligence Departnt and the British governnt are thankful for Karen’s assistance. The assistance period we negotiated with the Ranpelrouge Family was only until today. We will absolutely not interfere with Little Karen’s decision on where to go or stay."
"That we couldn’t find any clue about the Spirit Vein activated by Fairy Palace is indeed..." fala sighed.
Euphy chuckled. "Because it’s the Fairy Palace."
fala gave a wry smile and said, "Also, if Little Karen or Euphy plan to travel far, please let know in advance. We will arrange the best travel plans and security for you."
With a sincere expression, fala said to Euphy, "This isn’t surveillance—perhaps we aren’t even qualified to protect Little Karen. But Euphy, as Miss Karen’s closest kin, the British governnt is willing to protect you with the protocol reserved for a national leader."
"Whether Britain can rise again in this era of Transcendent Awakening, or at least not be left behind by the tide of the tis, Little Karen is an essential talent. We hope that Little Karen can grow up to be a healthy girl, and Euphy, your presence is indispensable for that."
Euphy stroked her sister Karen’s head and smiled gently. "Don’t worry, I won’t let myself or my sister end up in danger."
"Then, Karen and I are heading ho."
Karen gulped down her milk and exclaid happily, "I can finally go ho! I want Uncle Walter to give a hug."
"We’ve been staying in a London hotel these days; we miss ho too," Euphy laughed.
fala said, "We’ve wasted your ti. It seems Big Ben won’t encounter any further incidents after the Spirit Vein was activated—"
BOOM!
Euphy, fala, and Karen all simultaneously looked out the window towards Big Ben.
Aside from a trace of confusion on Karen’s face, Euphy and fala felt nothing.
They only saw the sky, which had been clear just monts ago, suddenly pour down with rain after a thunderclap.
"Why do you look like a drowned rat... Is this so kind of special play?" Ren Suo looked curiously at Gu Yueyan outside his door. She was wearing a sumr short-sleeved dress, without a backpack, completely soaked, with even the tips of her hair dripping. She stood outside, a strange blush on her pretty face.
Unexpectedly, Gu Yueyan craned her neck to peek inside the room. Ren Suo instinctively blocked her. He had no particular reason; he had hidden everything. But protecting his private space was a natural reaction—only a pervert would be so careless as to not zip up their pants.
However, Ren Suo’s reaction seed to confirm sothing Gu Yueyan suspected. Her eyes lit up. "She really did co to find you!"
Ren Suo said, "Who ca to find ? Ah, I forgot about Black Bell’s late-night Spicy Fish Kid..."
Ren Suo’s crude attempt to change the subject was, of course, futile. Gu Yueyan tried to push Ren Suo’s hand away. "Let in!"
"How could I!" Ren Suo exclaid. "Look at the state you’re in!"
"Hmm?"
Gu Yueyan looked at herself, then suddenly gasped, covering her chest and backing away. "You... you degenerate, utterly immoral, a beast in human clothing—no, worse than a beast!"
Was he a beast or worse than a beast?
Ren Suo waved his hand. "Alright, alright, I know your language skills are impressive, but you’ve also noticed the school uniform is quite good quality. It only beca a little transparent; you didn’t expose anything..."
"You did look!" Gu Yueyan glared at him, gritting her teeth.
Ren Suo changed the topic again. "And you, walking around without an umbrella?"
Gu Yueyan said, "I finished my exam and waited for you on the third floor of the cafeteria for an hour, but you didn’t show up, so I ca looking for you. Who knew it would start pouring just as I nearly reached the building? How could I have predicted that!"
"Wait, you’re not a teacher. How did you get in?" Ren Suo suddenly noticed a loophole.
Gu Yueyan blinked. "I stood at the dormitory entrance for less than a minute. The Black Cat lying by the door jumped to the intercom, pressed the room number, and then the main door downstairs opened, letting the Black Cat and in..."
Black Bell, Spicy Fish Kid, gone! Milk, gone! Ragdoll cat photos, torn!
Ren Suo’s mouth twitched. A cunning idea ca to him, and he gave Gu Yueyan a knowing look. He waited until she looked like she was about to bolt for the stairs before saying, "Whatever it is, let’s talk tomorrow. Hurry back to your dorm and change, or you’ll catch a cold."
Unexpectedly, Gu Yueyan reacted vehently. "Tomorrow? Why wait until tomorrow! Are you planning to turn raw rice into cooked rice tonight?"
"I don’t have any rice at ho!" Ren Suo said irritably. "I’ll lend you an umbrella. You better hurry back."
"No! Let take a look inside your apartnt first!" Gu Yueyan said firmly.
"That’s impossible!"
Ren Suo pointed at the cara at the stairway entrance. "If you enter my apartnt in this state, I’d be so implicated that not even jumping into the Ganges River would clear my na! Later, if you twist facts, call black white, and claim I’m the Goldfish Dude or so pervert, even if I’m acquitted, I’d still be socially dead!"
Ren Suo was a man who knew how to protect himself. For instance, when Gu Yueyan had followed him at night for a talk, he deliberately stood in a well-lit place with surveillance caras to converse openly, all to preserve evidence of his innocence.
By the way, Ren Suo had developed this habit largely because of his mother. Since Ren’s father was a teacher, Ren’s mother would occasionally share news at ho about ’middle-aged n caught in honey traps by beautiful young won,’ ’disputes between middle-aged teachers and female students,’ and ’the tragic encounters of middle-aged n.’
While Ren’s father had been loyal for over a decade, Ren Suo, his son, had also beco extrely cautious: he would never allow himself to be alone with unfamiliar beautiful young won.
Yes, being alone with an unfamiliar beautiful girl, a high-risk demographic for causing trouble, ant he’d be suspected of wrongdoing. Very dangerous.
However, Ren Suo’s words seemingly emboldened Gu Yueyan. She suddenly dropped her hands from her chest and confidently stord into Ren Suo’s apartnt—she had actually activated ’Clothing,’ and Ren Suo hadn’t reacted in ti to stop her!
"Teacher!"
"Don’t get in too deep!"
Ren Suo didn’t bother closing the door, helplessly watching Gu Yueyan as she shouted while rummaging through his kitchen and living room. He shook his head. "I’m the only one here. Who are you looking for?"
"But Teacher Dong has returned to Lianjiang and isn’t answering my calls," Gu Yueyan said. "She must have co to see you!"
Ren Suo was baffled. "Dong Chengling is back? Well, as much as I’d like to hear that... she’s definitely not here."
"Really?"
Gu Yueyan glanced at Ren Suo’s bedroom, then turned to look at the guest room next door.
Ren Suo panicked. "Don’t open it!"
Gu Yueyan’s eyes hardened. She decisively grabbed the doorknob and twisted.
As she opened the door, she slled a strange scent. "What’s this sll? Perfu for flirting?"
The room was pitch-black, yet Gu Yueyan’s heart plunged into darkness. Could it be that the person I’ve always admired has also... fallen to this?
"Teacher, I..." she whispered, fumbling for the light switch in the room and gently pressing it.
The next second—
AAAAAHHHH!
