Indeed, the seemingly perilous man quickly noticed the cat cage at the edge of the putrid farm, containing a black cat. As he slowly approached, Night Threefold's heart tightened.
However, he found himself helpless. Despite being only a young man and a middle-aged fellow, the four words "Judgment Knights" were entities Night Threefold couldn't afford to provoke at the moment.
Even the arrogant Yang Tian, full of bravado, wouldn't be able to withstand their onslaught, not even a hundred of him.
Is gold impressive? The passing grade for Judgment Knights is platinum!
Placed on the battlefield, these individuals are undoubtedly top-tier forces, comparable to mage-class entities. How could a mere black-iron-tier confront them?
With this in mind, Night Threefold clenched his fists, glancing at his right shoulder, still swollen from the recent encounter. "Too weak! I need more training tonight!"
The reason for this sentiment was that luck ultimately sided with the undead. The black cat turned into a white cat, its magic having subsided. The man would have no way to recognize that this was the same cat.
Night Threefold then witnessed the man suspiciously extending his right hand, a burst of divine light flames erupting in his palm. Slowly, he reached toward the cage.
"Ah, I'm done for..."
The cat had awakened in a similar manner last time. Could this man have truly noticed something amiss?
Even more nerve-wracking, the white cat's eyelids started twitching, and its fur shook uncontrollably, forming a ball of fluff. Subsequently, the cat abruptly opened its eyes, with sapphire pupils narrowing into thin lines. It pressed against the edge of the cage, teeth bared, emitting sharp meowing sounds, appearing greatly startled.
Hiss...
Observing the white cat opening its eyes, the man shook his head and dissipated the divine light flame in his hand. At this moment, the young Judgment Knight suddenly looked over.
"What's wrong?" The man shook his head. "Nothing."
Saying this, he walked to the edge of the farmland, silently observing the goblins wielding hoes.
Night Threefold finally breathed a sigh of relief. After glancing at the still-fluffy white cat, he confirmed that it couldn't escape the cage and slowly approached Bede.
This guy, even when going to the bathroom in the morning, can't keep a low profile. He happened to be caught by these people just right. Observing the young man's excited chatter around Bede, Night Threefold felt a bit uncomfortable.
"I knew it, this enchanting devil! If the system's disguise allowed customization of appearance, I would definitely turn Bede into a hideous monster!"
[Custom disguise appearance option activating. Start redefining Bede's appearance?]
Night Threefold was startled. What's going on with this system? Why didn't it inform him of this functionality earlier? Did he have to figure everything out on his own?
He suddenly recalled the moment during system loading when five words seemed to drift by:
Link has been disconnected...
Could this be the reason his system is incomplete, leaving him with no tutorials?
No, he had to explore it when he had the time.
"Oh my, sister is so naughty. I begged for half a day, yet you still haven't told me the secret of hair care." The young man's voice resounded again, interrupting Night Threefold's thoughts and giving him goosebumps.
This guy, how can he be so fixated on hair care at such a young age? Could it be because of Bede's appearance?
"Cough!"
Night Threefold coughed, nodding at Bede. "Since the sir has requested so sincerely, you should quickly share the secret!"
Hasten the departure of these two ominous individuals, foolish succubus!
Bede cast a disdainful glance at him. Things were not as easy as he thought. Could a succubus, born with natural beauty, just abandon it?
However, since Night Threefold had spoken so, she had to consider it.
"Well, the secret is quite simple, but it's a bit hard to say..." Bede hesitated.
"It's okay, sister. I'm not afraid of anything!" The young man straightened his back, completely transformed from his previous arrogant appearance.
"Then come over here, and I'll tell you quietly." Bede playfully approached and whispered a few words.
The young man's eyes widened, looking increasingly perplexed. Finally, he hesitated, "Really? Should it be done this way?"
Bede nodded seriously. "You must strictly follow the steps, or the consequences will be severe!"
The young man rubbed his helmeted head, suddenly nodded heavily.
"Alright, I'll go back and try it! If it works, I'll come back to thank you, sister."
"No need for that. Be beautiful together!" Bede lifted her hair, appearing like a waterfall in the sunlight.
"Her hair is actually quite beautiful..." Night Threefold couldn't help but think.
"Wait! Although you don't have to come back to thank us, it's reasonable to ask for compensation! You foolish incubus!"
Seeing off the young man, who looked forward to trying out Bede's method, and the middle-aged man who was still holding the balloon with a vacant expression, Night Threefold sighed in frustration.
Thanks to the undead's protection, he wasn't discovered, but...
"Did you do anything harmful to him?" Night Threefold looked suspiciously at Bede, who had been covering her mouth and laughing.
"How could I? That was a method I found in the... library! It's sure to work!" Bede replied with a smirk. The process may be a bit convoluted, but the result would undoubtedly be correct. After all, she didn't want to get into big trouble.
Bede was laughing mischievously when she suddenly sneezed loudly. If Night Threefold hadn't dodged quickly with the Wind Step, he would have been sprayed into a dandelion head on the spot.
"Hey? Are you catching a cold?" Weng Ling approached at this time.
Bede cast a glance at Night Threefold and said coldly, "It's all because of him. He disturbed my sleep, and I ended up catching a cold!"
"Hiss!"
"Stop! It's not what you think!" Night Threefold knew things were going south as soon as Bede finished speaking. He forcefully interrupted Weng Ling's inhalation, knowing that this guy with a hole in his brain was surely thinking of something unhealthy.
"That's right! Due to certain very necessary reasons, I, along with her and Lao Gu, have to stay in that relatively cold house to rest, which led to the cold." Night Threefold explained.
"Necessary reasons? Cold house?" Weng Ling was a bit puzzled, then walked into the wooden house Night Threefold mentioned, but his face turned green as he quickly retreated.
"Do you feel very sleepy? Can't exert strength?" Weng Ling asked Bede.
"Ah, I'm indeed very sleepy, and it's normal not to be able to exert strength when catching a cold, right?" Bede replied.
To be honest, she was really sleepy now. Although she was a succubus and could sleep less, it was still a bit difficult for her to stay awake.
Want to sleep?
It's
too cold; she really can't fall asleep!
But Weng Ling looked at Night Threefold and Bede with a dark face, saying coldly:
"I think you're lucky to catch only a cold. Burning firewood inside the house? Are you two really foolish, or do you want to commit suicide together?"
