Listening to Gu Zhiqi’s words, Chubby Chiu also remembered and offered a fairly reasonable comment, "The female lead is actually pretty good."
Having said that, and only belatedly realizing something, Chubby Chiu seriously added, "Of course, compared to you, Zhizhi, the female lead still has a long way to go. After all, you were an Eighth Order Mystic Master at seventeen, while she is now... well, to give her some credit, let’s say she’s a Fourth Order Mystic Master."
Upon hearing this, Gu Zhiqi let out a silent, light laugh, "You’ve never even met her, how do you know she’s only at the Fourth Order?"
"It’s not that I look down on her, it’s just that, no matter how talented she is, the overall conditions of this world only allow her to cultivate to the rank of a Fourth-Order Mystic Master," Chubby Chiu said, his tone taking on a hint of seriousness. "Zhizhi, have you noticed any anomalies in this world?"
"I haven’t deliberately checked." Gu Zhiqi replied lazily, eyes slightly lowered, staring absentmindedly at the flowers in the flowerbed.
"I wasn’t planning to check either, but alas, after I connected to the network of this world, all its information ended up in my database," Chubby Chiu said with a hint of regret in his voice. "But whether to check or not doesn’t really matter now."
After thinking it over, Chubby Chiu ultimately did not tell Gu Zhiqi what the world’s anomalies were, and in fact, he was somewhat regretting even mentioning the anomalies to Gu Zhiqi.
If one day, Gu Zhiqi decided to meddle in the affairs of this world, it could affect their speed in returning to Aquamarine Star.
When Gu Yuluo walked out of the house, Gu Zhiqi was standing by the flowerbed with her eyes slightly downcast, casually observing the flowers in the flowerbed.
The plain white moonlight fell upon the young girl, draping her in a layer of light mist-like gauze.
The usually indifferent moonlight seemed to favor the girl, becoming very gentle as it fell upon her, softly enveloping her. The girl, already wrapped in a cool, ethereal aura, appeared even more hazy under the moonlight, as if she was the Moon Palace Fairy who would step into the moonlight and leave this realm the very next second.
"Gu Zhiqi!" Gu Yuluo panicked inside, and by the time she regained her composure, the girl’s name had already slipped from her mouth.
Hearing Gu Yuluo’s voice, the girl turned her head slightly and gave her a glance, her eyes clearly asking a question.
The lazy, indifferent expression became faintly less so due to Gu Yuluo’s call, the elusive cool aura around her fading a bit.
Meeting the girl’s gaze, Gu Yuluo cleared her throat, feeling a bit awkward and turned her head away, "Um, who did you find to take care of the bodies inside?"
After all, that was a job she used to handle.
Who the hell is taking her job?!
Hearing this, Gu Zhiqi took out her phone from her pocket and looked at it. It had been almost an hour already.
"They should be arriving soon."
Having said that, she turned off her phone and put it back in her pocket, then continued to stare aimlessly at the flowers in the flowerbed.
"What are you gazing at so intently?" Gu Yuluo asked, walking toward Gu Zhiqi while her eyes also fell on the flowerbed.
There were quite a few flowers blooming in the flowerbed, but the most eye-catching was the ice-blue flower at the center.
Gu Yuluo paused, then took several quick steps to the flowerbed, leaned over and rushed close to the ice-white flower, staring at it for several seconds before exclaiming in surprise, "Crushed Ice Rain Mist?!"
While saying this, she also fumbled for her phone from her pocket, "It’s too familiar, these flowers, this flowerbed, this angle, it’s all too familiar. I’m sure I’ve seen it somewhere before."
Mumbling to herself, she took out her phone and scrolled through various chat histories and group chat records.
Gu Zhiqi paid her no mind and moved to a different flowerbed to admire the flowers.
Three minutes later, an exclamation of "Found it!" rang by her ear.
