Bad women are always eyeing me covetously.

It's been a long time since I've been able to go back to work.

Xi Lan stretched and wasn't at all resistant to going back to work. In fact, she found it quite interesting to have something to do.

This time, however, she was alone; the employees who usually worked under Ms. Jade had gone to work in other departments.

Pinocene, what kind of place is it?

She had never been to that place, but she had often heard people say they wanted to travel there, even if it meant spending all the money in their pockets.

Even those targets who signed contracts with Lady Emerald naturally paid a heavy price to go to Pinocchio.

Hmm, it should be a good place, right?

The little fox was naturally very interested in such a place, and a hint of anticipation gradually appeared in its eyes.

At this point, I actually felt a bit grateful to Ms. Jade.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have gone to Pinocchio to have a proper look around.

But Xi Lan quickly came to her senses and twitched her fox ears slightly, looking a little awkward.

No, this time we're here to complete a mission, not just go sightseeing...

I also hope that I won't encounter any strange or weird people.

She was so looking forward to it.

------

When she actually stepped into Pinocchio, the hotel called Daydream Hotel, she wagged her tail and looked around at everything like a curious child.

There are quite a lot of people?

Although I've seen high-tech things before, this is probably the first time I've seen a hotel this big.

Add to that the tiny Pipixis, the androids, and even the ones with chicken wings... oh wait, what was that saying again, the Sky Ring Clan...

She hardly saw any fox-people of her kind.

Realizing that she had been staring at the other person for a long time, Xi Lan swallowed subtly and tried her best to shift her gaze away from the other person's ear.

That's impolite, that's impolite, you'd better not look.

Otherwise, Xi Lan was really afraid that she would drool uncontrollably.

Xi Lan licked her sharp canine teeth, pretending nothing had happened.

Carrying her small suitcase, she quickly went to the counter, handed over her reservation information to the staff, and successfully obtained her next room number.

Looking at the ashen-faced people around her who couldn't afford to renew their subscriptions, and then at the happy crowd who had successfully checked in at the nearby bar, she felt a strong sense of disconnect.

Is this so-called 'entering the dream' really something that people are so reluctant to leave behind?

Xi Lan remained silent, simply keeping the scene in her heart.

Carrying her suitcase, she pressed the elevator button for the floor indicated by the waiter and looked around the hotel lobby from bottom to top.

Patiently wait for the elevator to arrive at the floor.

This feeling of being watched is really unsettling.

Even if she's posing as a company employee, there's no need to be this wary, is there?

Xi Lan muttered to herself.

After hearing the elevator bell ring, I stepped out of the elevator and looked around the corridor with some curiosity.

...Why is there a suspicious woman loitering in front of her room?

Moreover, the aura surrounding her was indeed very dangerous.

Xi Lan's intuition was so keenly stimulating that she was unwilling to take a step closer to that side.

But that's my own room!

Gritting her teeth, Miss Silver Fox forced herself to take a step forward and spoke quickly before the woman with deep purple hair could turn the doorknob.

"Excuse me, ma'am, this is my room. Have you come to the wrong place?"

She took out her room card and gestured to it under the man's somewhat bewildered gaze.

"Ah...is that so..." Those strange eyes blinked, as if they had just come to their senses. They compared the room number in Xi Lan's hand and said blankly, "Sorry, I can't find my room. I must have gone to the wrong place."

Seemingly amused by the other party's straightforward tone, the dangerous aura emanating from this woman dissipated considerably after she spoke.

"...Where's your room key? Let me check where it is."

Fine, I might as well play the good guy to the end, since I'm a kind-hearted fox.

The woman in front of her took out a room card from her pocket and handed it to Xi Lan, making it easier for her to observe.

However, when Xi Lan was giving her directions, the woman seemed to be in a daze, staring at her fox ears and the jade necklace around her neck, and paused for a moment.

"Hello? Ma'am? Are you listening to me? Don't get distracted!"

Xi Lan waved helplessly in front of the other party, successfully getting a guy who was a beat slow to react.

"Ah, what did you just say?" She tilted her head in confusion, her eyes filled with bewilderment.

Like a child who can't react.

That was Xi Lan's first impression of this person.

"Just call me Huang Quan, ma'am... that sounds a bit strange," the woman replied, seemingly lost in thought.

"Alright, Ms. Huang Quan, your room isn't far from mine, but you need to turn left once; that's your room." As if still unsure, she asked again, "Understood?"

Huang Quan, who seemed to be saying something, nodded as if he understood after seeing Xi Lan's gaze.

She then placed her room card back into Huang Quan's palm.

"I'm going back to my room now, you should go back too, so you don't get lost again, okay?"

Intrigued by the dream-entering device, Xi Lan quickly used her room card to open her room door.

Everything inside was no different from a regular hotel, except for the dream-inducing device in the middle of the room... which was practically a bathtub.

Do I need to take off my clothes?

With a sense of doubt, before going inside, she still kept her slightly uneasy gaze fixed on Huang Quan's departing figure.

Hopefully, I won't go the wrong way again.

Wait, why did this guy suddenly turn right?!

"you..."

Just as Huang Quan was about to step around the corner as the man had instructed, Miss Fox, who had already stepped into the room with one foot inside, quickly grabbed his arm.

"What do you mean, 'what ...'? Didn't I just tell you to turn left? If you turn right and go around in a circle, you'll just end up back where you started?'"

The genuine confusion on Huang Quan's face amused Xi Lan; in fact, it was the first time she had ever seen someone so directionally challenged.

Why are you turning right?

"Huh? I just followed my instincts... Sorry, did I go the wrong way?"

Amused by the person's terrible sense of direction, Xi Lan's face showed a helpless expression.

"Alright, come with me for a second. I'll put my suitcase down and then I'll take you to find your room."

I'll just be a good person to the end.

The other person didn't seem like a bad person either.

Huang Quan didn't even have time to say anything before she came to her senses and followed Xi Lan into the house.

Watching the silver-white fox lady place her suitcase inside the house, Huang Quan paused for a moment, but still stood obediently at the door, waiting for her.

Seemingly sensing Huang Quan's gaze, Xi Lan unconsciously wagged her tail.

After putting down my suitcase, I glanced at the woman standing obediently at the door and, for some reason, felt like I was leading a child to find a room.

"Alright, that's about it for me. Let's get ready to go. I'll take you to find your room."

Xi Lan reached out her hand again, gesturing for her to take out the room card.

The man tilted his head in confusion, and under Xi Lan's gaze, carefully placed his hand on Xi Lan's palm.

"...While I am indeed quite worried that you might get lost..., it doesn't warrant putting your hand on me."

Seeing the other person place their hand in hers, Xi Lan couldn't help but twitch her lips in exasperation.

"Have I misunderstood something?"

"Oh well, this will do. Give me the room key."

It's like a child who has no common sense.

Inevitably, Xi Lan should take better care of the other party.

Huang Quan tried to pull his hand away to take out the room card from his pocket, but unexpectedly, Xi Lan grabbed his hand and started walking out.

Even so, she still obediently took out the room card and handed it to Xi Lan without saying anything more.

Just standing beside Xi Lan, feeling the warmth from her hands, Huang Quan blinked in a rare moment of bewilderment.

Ok.

She is a good person.

Regardless, Huang Quan now has a good impression of this fox lady.

Xi Lan's first impression of Huang Quan was probably that he was a person who had no sense of direction but whose face alone suggested he could cook.

The two women, each lost in their own thoughts, walked down the hotel corridor. Miss Fox, who was scouting ahead, even looked up at the room number from time to time.
