Chapter 336: Smugglers
On the bed was a red button. After lying down, a light press would automatically activate the safety pod.
It helped soothe one’s spiritual power and effectively restore physical strength.
The spacious room was filled with the rich aroma of medicinal herbs. In a stove in the corner, a newly developed medicine was simmering, BUBBLING with hot steam.
After Tang Luo Ke went to sleep, Yu Zhizhi and Noel went to the study.
Pushing open the door, they saw a tree growing inside the room. It was lush with branches and leaves, from which hung various potted medicinal herbs.
Yu Zhizhi placed the bamboo basket on the coffee table.
She looked at the various glass jars arranged on the desk opposite her, which were filled with medicines of different colors.
The young man from the Rabbit Clan sat down in his chair. He picked up a quill and wrote down the principles of the high-level Healing magic he had just unlocked on a piece of paper.
A bar of creamy white chocolate sat beside his hand.
When he finished writing, he casually handed the paper to a small robot at his feet, his tone tinged with exhaustion. "These are the basic principles. Take a look."
The small, black, gear-driven robot with a round head rolled over to Yu Zhizhi’s leg.
It handed the paper to the female of the Rabbit Clan.
Yu Zhizhi took it.
Her Healing Skill had only just reached the Intermediate level, so she never expected to encounter high-level Healing magic. Although she couldn’t use it yet, Noel had written the concepts so concisely it was as if he had broken down the key points and spoon-fed them to her.
’Did he prepare this specifically for Tang Luo Ke?’
Yu Zhizhi’s eyes brightened. With such a Healing Skill to support it, using her Evolution Talent would be an incredible boost.
She couldn’t help but stand up and walk over to the desk.
"Senior Noel."
"Just call me by my name."
"Noel... I have a copy of the *Bright Moon Diary*. Could you take a look at it for me?"
Noel’s expression faltered slightly when he saw the cowhide-paper diary. He probably hadn’t expected someone to bring out something so important.
He glanced up at the little rabbit before him, took the diary, and began to flip through it.
The journal chronicled every advancement in detail, starting from the moment the Evolution Talent first awakened.
Yu Zhizhi could understand the beginning, but the later parts became confusing.
She sat on the sofa and lightly touched the Little White Snake’s body, sensing its Beast Bone. The Golden Beast Bone, which had once been a pitted and ravaged mess, was now eighty percent healed, with only a few scars remaining.
Once these were fully healed, Little Amon should be able to use his spiritual power.
She couldn’t resist.
She took one of the Little Octopus’s tentacles in her hand.
The Little Octopus, which was eating a snack and looking at a picture book, had soft tentacles and let her hold one to check it.
’In the Little Octopus’s case, will I have to wait until my own abilities have advanced further before I can treat it?’
’I’ll have to ask Noel about it when he has a free moment.’
The Little Octopus licked some jam stuck to its tentacle. Suddenly, it looked out the floor-to-ceiling window, its expression slowly turning grave. "...They’ve followed us."
"Who?" Yu Zhizhi didn’t know who the Little Octopus was talking about.
It was rare to see it look so serious.
The Little Octopus put down its picture book and looked at the Rabbit Clan female sitting beside it. "The smugglers from the Chelsea Territory. I can smell them."
Yu Zhizhi’s eyes widened in shock, and she quickly stood up.
’This is Greenfield City!’
’A place like something out of a fairy tale... Are those guys who seized the Chelsea Territory already looking for more? Unsatisfied with Chelsea, have they already started to invade the Varolan Territory?’
Not far away, Noel, who was resting his chin on one hand and casually taking notes at his desk, seemed not to have heard.
Yu Zhizhi started to get anxious.
She had been to Black Tide Port in the Chelsea Territory and seen what those despicable smugglers had done, how they had ruined a perfectly good territory.
How much time had passed? And now, unrepentant, they had come to the Varolan Territory?
"Noel, what if they’ve really come to Greenfield City? What do we do?"
Yu Zhizhi walked over to the desk and asked worriedly.
The young man from the Rabbit Clan had a weary expression. He looked like this no matter where he was. Sometimes his black rabbit ears would even show, as if he couldn’t be bothered to use his spiritual power to hide them.
"Don’t worry. Greenfield City has guards. Being on the border of the Varolan Territory, it’s not so easily invaded."
"We also have the Divine Tree."
"And if worse comes to worst, isn’t Tang Luo Ke here too?"
The Empire’s strongest War Weapon was right here in Greenfield City. If those rats who seized the Chelsea Territory had really come to Greenfield City, then their luck was truly terrible.
Seeing that Noel wasn’t worried at all, Yu Zhizhi’s anxious heart began to settle.
She couldn’t help but glance at the study door.
Outside, Tang Luo Ke was resting in the safety pod.
Suddenly, she felt incredibly safe.
Noel handed the notes he’d written to the young female beside him. "These are the main points for the more difficult parts at the beginning. I’ve organized the ideas for you."
"The Little White Snake is about to undergo Evolution anyway. You can try it out on him and see if it has any effect."
"As for the rest, let’s talk about it after I’ve finished reading."
The young man from the Rabbit Clan took a bite of white chocolate. "I have to go out this afternoon to look for those Bone Remains that Zero mentioned."
Yu Zhizhi had just turned a page. Hearing Noel’s words, she looked over in surprise.
Noel had mentioned Zero...
And he also said "Bone Remains."
She thought back to being at the round table and seeing the box that Number Two had brought.
"You..." Yu Zhizhi stared blankly at Noel.
The young man from the Rabbit Clan spoke calmly, "Yes, I’ve joined the Divine Hall. They say the Bone Remains are buried in the Jade Forest. I hope they’re easy to find so I don’t have to waste too much energy."
No wonder Zero and Noel had consulted together to bring her back to Greenfield City this time. Yu Zhizhi was very happy to hear that Noel had joined, and a smile appeared on her face.
’This is great.’
To her, Noel was a very familiar face.
Yu Zhizhi thought of Zero.
They had arrived safely in Greenfield City. Although the Cat Clan servants had probably already sent word back, she still wanted to visit the Divine Hall again if she had the chance.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the study door.
"Lord Nuo’er, guests from the Elk Clan have arrived."
Ever since Noel returned to Greenfield City, guests from different Beast Clans had come to visit him every day.
As the acting City Lord, he sometimes had to resolve disputes within the city as well.
Noel popped the last piece of white chocolate into his mouth. "Bring them here."
Yu Zhizhi was about to excuse herself, but Noel glanced at her and said, "It’s just a normal meeting. You don’t need to worry about it."
She nodded and sat back down on the sofa.
A short while later, several guests from the Elk Clan entered the study.
A young man from the Elk Clan, with a little girl from the Elk Clan, and an Elk Clan cub—
They were his son and daughter.
After bowing to Noel, he noticed the figure on the sofa. He didn’t pay it much mind at first, but then she looked familiar, and he couldn’t help but take a second look.
Only then did he realize it was the Empire’s SS-Level female!
The young man from the Elk Clan immediately bowed to her. "Ms. Zhi Zhi, h-hello!"
