Bad women are always eyeing me covetously.

Under the gaze of those gradient-colored eyes, Xi Lan still felt that this woman's approach to her was not a good thing.

"Hehe, it's nothing else, I just wanted to get to know you."

The woman chuckled softly: "My name is Black Swan, just a... ordinary fortune teller."

She pushed the other glass of wine in her hand, but instead saw Xi Lan looking troubled, her ears drooping slightly.

So cute.

How could such an adorable little fox have come into contact with that dangerous woman?

It can't be a threat, can it?

She winked cleverly at Xi Lan, who was refusing her, and said with a smile, "Darling, the glass I gave you was just juice. If you don't trust me, you can go to the bar and get another one."

Even with this explanation, Xi Lan had no intention of drinking the liquid in her hand, and simply smiled politely.

When you're out and about, no matter where you are, don't drink anything offered by strangers.

"Thank you, Ms. Black Swan. You can just call me Xi Lan."

This kind of address always reminds her of some bad woman, and it always gives her goosebumps.

She smiled politely, but remained wary of the black swan that had suddenly appeared before her.

"Don't be so nervous, Miss Xilan." She gave a gentle smile, looking exceptionally harmless. "I just wanted to get to know you, I mean no harm."

"If I had to give a reason..." the Black Swan said slowly, but quickly steered the conversation toward serious matters.

"That is still the same Miss Huang Quan, the 'Sea Patrol Knight' you met before."

Xi Lan paused as she was about to stand up, her eyes subtly shifting to the Black Swan still sitting opposite her.

For some reason, or perhaps out of curiosity, or some other factor, Xi Lan sat down opposite that mysterious woman again.

Most importantly, what is she trying to express?

Looking at the smiling black swan, the image of Huang Quan's appearance during that golden moment flashed through her mind.

and....

Why is this woman named Black Swan telling me about the Yellow Springs?

-----------

Chapter 181 You are a very good person

Why are you talking to me about these things?

Xi Lan tapped her fingertips on the table, looking at the smiling black swan in front of her, and finally asked the question that had been bothering her.

"Hmm...that's an interesting question." She smiled as she looked at Xi Lan's pretty face, quietly gazing into her eyes.

"Because I can't bear to see such a cute little fox completely devoured by a predator." That was the only answer the black swan gave, which earned it a speechless look from Xi Lan.

"What a strange fellow." Frowning, Xi Lan put down the cup she hadn't drunk a drop from, then stood up completely, not even bothering to look at the black swan again.

It seems that they did not choose to believe what the other party said.

"Thank you for your kindness, but if Miss Huang Quan is really someone who can devour me whole, then I will leave her immediately."

Regardless, when facing a stranger, Xi Lan's innate upbringing still made her polite: "Well then, I'll take my leave now, Miss Black Swan."

The black swan, seated in its chair, simply swirled its wine glass quietly.

He didn't say anything, just nodded casually, his eyes, filled with unknown emotions, only reflected the departing figure of Xi Lan.

The corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, making it impossible to guess what this woman was thinking.

"It seems that the young lady didn't heed my advice." She took a sip of her drink, a rare look of contentment on her face.

It seems like the kind of little fox that won't give up until it hits a wall.

Just like when she was fooled by Huang Quan's dazed appearance back then.

Just to peek into that little bit of memory, he almost lost his entire life to the other party; it was definitely the most unwise action ever.

She subconsciously rubbed her arm, as if she could feel the sensation of being bitten again.

Makes people uncomfortable.

But then the image of that stunned woman reappeared in my mind. Sometimes I really wondered if that Miss Huangquan was just pretending to be weak while actually being strong.

She had no idea what the other person was thinking.

Anyway, she had already given the necessary reminders, so whether the other person listened or not was none of her business.

"...People from the company...heh."

She looked meaningfully in the direction Xi Lan had left, and then glanced regretfully at the cup that Xi Lan hadn't touched.

it's a pity.

When it was finally swallowed whole, the cute little fox...

Will she give you time to escape?

-------

Being bothered by strange people and not in a good mood, Xi Lan didn't choose to go back to her room immediately.

Instead, she chose to wander around somewhere else to clear her head, and for a while, she didn't really want to continue dreaming.

Or perhaps they were indeed influenced by the Black Swan's words?

"The Predator... Could Huang Quan really be that kind of person?"

She murmured to herself, but then she remembered the person's dazed expression as they held the peach doll and other prizes.

I still can't connect the dots.

She leaned against the railing, looking at her conversation with Huang Quan on the terminal, unsure where she got the confidence that the other person was indeed a good person.

That's it.

Be more vigilant.

Besides, isn't there someone following you in your dreams?

They were so mysterious that even the Yellow Springs couldn't catch up with them.

Why is a girl following me?

Xi Lan didn't understand, nor did she know that she would be targeted when she arrived at the "Golden Moment".

Not many people know her identity, right?

Even if I am the debt collector for Ms. Emerald, it is perfectly normal for me to come to Pinocchio for a vacation, right?

With her head slightly lowered, Xi Lan's mind was filled with all sorts of random thoughts. She unconsciously let out a sigh and reached out to pinch her brow.

"We meet again, Miss Fox."

The familiar toe of a shoe stopped in front of Xi Lan, forcing her to look up.

The first thing I saw was the strangely shaped peach doll I was holding in my arms, and the second thing I saw was Huang Quan's indifferent face.

She couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"what happened?"

Huang Quan was naturally puzzled, and she didn't even know what the other person was laughing about.

"Why did you bring this doll here?"

Xi Lan smiled contentedly, and her troubled mood dissipated considerably, especially when she saw Huang Quan obediently hugging the doll.

Is Huang Quan, who is so kind and innocent, really the vicious person that the Black Swan described?

"You mean this? I went to find a staff member, told her a few times, and she came to my room door specifically to bring me this."

She handed another small fox-shaped doll to Xi Lan: "This is for you too."

Huang Quan said sullenly, but rarely revealed his emotions in front of Xi Lan: "I originally wanted to go to your room, but I accidentally ended up here."

The woman in deep purple narrowed her eyes, a gentle smile playing on her lips.

"Looks like I'm pretty lucky, I've found you."

Perhaps it was the sheer power of that cold face revealing a smile that made Xi Lan momentarily stunned.

When she connected with the doll, she could almost feel the residual warmth of the Yellow Springs within its furry texture.

"But where am I? I think I'm getting lost again."

However, Huang Quan changed the subject and looked at Xi Lan with embarrassment, like a big dog that had done something wrong.

Xi Lan finally came to her senses. Looking at the person in front of her, she couldn't help but chuckle.

As expected, Huang Quan is an exceptionally interesting person.

"Alright, alright, stay here with me a little longer, I'll take you back to your room."

She hugged the doll Huang Quan had given her and began to stare blankly along with the people around her.

While still lost in thought, Xi Lan's gaze naturally fell on the profile of the person next to her.

Huang Quan, who was very sensitive to other people's gazes, turned his head slightly to meet Xi Lan's eyes and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

"I can sense that you have something on your mind right now," she said to Xi Lan with certainty.

Xi Lan, who hadn't expected to be seen through, was stunned for a moment. She subconsciously shifted her gaze, blinked, and unusually showed a guilty look.

"...Just now, a strange woman said you were dangerous, and that your identity was even that of a 'Sea Patrol Ranger'." She muttered to herself, not caring whether the other person could hear her.

They didn't even notice that Huang Quan had suddenly froze, as if he was trying very hard to recall something.

"Yes, that person is right, I am a 'sea patrol ranger'."

As for that danger...
