Bad women are always eyeing me covetously.

I'm still so curious!

Xi Lan looked at the Dream Pool with a conflicted expression, unsure if she would fall from the sky again this time.

Most importantly, if I fall from the sky, there's no guarantee that a kind-hearted Miss Huangquan will come to catch me this time.

Moreover, she doesn't have many spare clothes, so it would be a bit of a hassle if she got her clothes wet every time she entered a dream.

I'm so curious, so incredibly curious.

While Xi Lan was still hesitating about whether to continue entering the dream, the terminal she took out vibrated several times.

[Your favorite Emerald Lady (note) has sent you a call request.]

She immediately put those troubling thoughts aside, calmed herself down, and then answered the call.

"Ms. Jade! How come you have time to send messages!?"

She was as happy as a dog that had broken free of its reins, her eyes shining as she looked at the jade on the other side of the terminal.

You can clearly feel the gentle gaze the other person is giving you.

“I’ve been wearing the collar properly, I haven’t taken it off.” Xi Lan slightly lifted her collar, revealing the collar that belonged only to Emerald under those gazing eyes.

Especially now, he looks more like a child craving praise.

Emerald's eyebrows curved slightly, as if she had been amused by Xi Lan's behavior, and she looked much gentler.

"Yes, good boy." She knew, of course, that her little fox was waiting for her praise, especially with those eyes fixed on her.

"You're very obedient... When you come back to me, I'll reward you, okay?" Emerald chuckled.

The way he looked at her with such unwavering devotion was truly comforting.

If it were still by my side... then I could touch my little fox even more easily.

They always act affectionately when they go out together.

But this inexplicable anxiety, accompanied by a little unease, eventually made Emerald take some time to ask her little fox about the situation.

"How's it going in Pinocchio? Have you met any new friends you can hang out with?"

She casually inquired about Xi Lan's situation in Pinocchio, but her eyes kept darting towards Miss Fox.

"Ah, now that you mention it, I have indeed invited a friend."

I thought I wouldn't get an answer.

Unexpectedly, Xilan actually answered the question in that way.

"She said she was a sea patrol knight, and that she caught me when I was falling from the sky while I was in a dream."

"Ms. Emerald, she's such a kind person!"

For some reason, seeing her silly little fox make such an expression, coupled with the unexpected friend card she received, made Emerald burst out laughing.

She squinted, a smile playing on her lips for some unknown reason, yet carrying a hint of something else.

Unfortunately, Xi Lan didn't realize it.

"That's good. It's a good thing to make friends."

However... it was quite interesting that a sea patrolman moved in during this period.

Seeing that Xi Lan was in a slightly better mood, Emerald didn't bring up the matter. Instead, she listened like a kind elder as the younger one recounted everything that had happened in Pinocchio.

When the little fox gets to something interesting, it will even stretch out its hands to gesture, using these actions to vividly express what it has encountered.

And with such an adorable appearance, the thought that only she could see it made Jade feel even happier.

After Xi Lan finished speaking, she realized that she had said so much, but the other person hadn't gotten anything out of the conversation.

"...Did I say a bit too much?"

She scratched her cheek awkwardly, blinked her eyes, and looked at Emerald, who was watching her with a smile.

"Ok?"

Emerald laughed: "No, it's very interesting. I don't mind if you talk more. I really enjoy listening to you talk about these things."

I feel like I'll get to know my little fox better now.

However, it would be even better if we could mention that woman named Huang Quan less often.

Right now, she just smiled and thought about it, without choosing to say these words out loud.

"I really want to come to Pinocchio with everyone, it would be more lively that way."

Although most of the people she was close to were from the Stone Heart Ten, and especially since they were all workaholics... even if they came to Pinocchio, they had important business to attend to.

It's obvious that he doesn't have time to do things like strolling around with her.

Besides, she also has things to do; she can't just focus all her attention on playing.

Hmm... At worst, I can go with Xing and the others; it'll be more lively that way.

“Sure. If things go smoothly with work, I’d like to stay in Pinocchio a little longer.” Emerald readily agreed. “I’d love to spend some time with you.”

But little Yelena...

Before she could finish speaking, Xi Lan, whose mind was a step behind, finally understood the meaning behind Emerald's words.

Her fair face flushed red once again, which made Emerald smile much more happily.

"Yes."

She raised an eyebrow, but her eyes sparkled with an ambiguous smile.

"Just you and me, the two of us..."

Emerald watched with a smile as Xi Lan's face gradually turned as red as a tomato, before letting out a soft laugh.

"I, I, I, I understand!"

She stammered her agreement, and even the ears on the top of her head twitched unconsciously.

But her tail was wagging obediently, which meant that she was in a very good mood, even quite happy.

"I also really want to be with Ms. Emerald, together..."

It's really hard to say intimate words.

But Jade just loves seeing Xi Lan looking conflicted, like she wants to say something but can't quite get it out.

Isn't it most delightful to play with a little fox like this?

She rested her chin on one hand, and after teasing the little fox for a while, she finally ended the terminal session with satisfaction.

It seems we haven't encountered any strange guys.

The little fox is so easy to take care of.

And that Miss Huangquan, that sea-patrolling knight, don't seem to be very important people.

With this in mind, Jade began working once again.

On the other side, after hanging up the terminal, Xi Lan looked at the Dream Pool and ultimately chose to lie down in it once again.

If possible, I still hope to find that thing they called the "dream-peeping phone".

Xi Lan closed her eyes again, feeling the drowsiness rising within her, and immersed herself completely in the moment.

Consciousness gradually faded into darkness.

When Xi Lan opened her eyes again, she found that she did not fall from the sky again this time.

It is the position you stand in when you exit the dream.

In any case, the fact that it didn't fall from the sky is definitely a good thing for Xilan.

She breathed a slight sigh of relief.

He then looked around, seemingly trying to find the thing called the "Dream-Peeping Phone".

Since I'm free anyway... I might as well wander around.

Xi Lan took out a map and looked at the area that she and Huang Quan had never visited before, preparing to head there.

Holding the Fenola that a passerby had handed her, she wandered around aimlessly during the prime time, like a person with nothing to do.

And she actually found one... a very strange-looking phone booth?

Xi Lan stared at the phone with its mouth open, lipstick on, and tongue sticking out...

"Does this thing actually work?"

She muttered softly, hesitated for a moment, and then slowly reached out her hand.

The phone in front of her seemed to sense something, hovering in the air and gesturing for Xi Lan to take it.

What a strange thing.

She took the microphone and listened to the beeping sounds coming from it... In the end, she decided to patiently listen to what kind of sound would come from the microphone.

"Ring, ring, your dream-peeping call has been connected."

"What you are about to hear is: Kavka's dream."

what?

Chapter 184 Tell Me, Long Live Lady Hanabi!

Xi Lan's hands trembled slightly, and she even doubted whether she should continue listening.

But that damned curiosity ultimately prevented Xi Lan from hanging up the phone; she simply listened patiently.

“Ah…”

"Little fox...my...Little Xilan..."

A gentle and tender voice rang in her ears, and she was absolutely certain that the voice on the receiver belonged to Kaffa.
