Back to the [Baolong Group].

Yuzu Yuebai only then realized that the situation in the "prophecy circle" of the blue fat star had suddenly changed.

An online event, initiated by an unknown person, is scheduled to take place in ten days as part of the "Dragon Terrace Welcoming the Saint" ceremony.

"What Dragon Terrace? And whose saint is it welcoming?"

Yuebai slammed her hand on the table and stood up. "You were gone for two or three days and the world has changed so much? I can't understand it, I can't accept it, and I'm even more inclined to side with Qingyuan."

"Oh dear, my lady, don't get excited, don't get excited~ Still waters run deep, but sometimes they can become turbulent. The river of time will not stop flowing according to your, my, or anyone else's wishes."

Old Xu was genuinely afraid that this capricious ruler might turn on him and do something outrageous, so he tried his best to comfort him.

"That's right, Lao Xu is right. The turning point in this matter is neither what you think nor what I think."

Yuzu was completely different from Yuebai. He only knew that the sooner this matter was resolved, the sooner he could return to Earth and be closer to his girl.

That's very well said!

Old Xu quietly gave Youzi a thumbs up.

"Nodes? Who knows, maybe some weirdo who's gone completely mad and is timing things to fit the prophecy."

Yue Bai Qian refuses to accept.

"That's not quite right. You don't care about branches or roots. As long as it can trigger a node, it's good firewood. Just add it to the stove to make the fire burn brighter, am I right, Green Pepper Bro?"

While comforting Yuebai, Youzi also made sure to tug at Qingjiao, who was sitting silently in the corner.

At this moment, Green Pepper was watching everyone talk while smoking a cigarette, the smoke giving off a melancholy vibe.

He had his own worries. If this turning point was true, then his lucrative job with the [Baolong Team] would be gone forever. Thinking about his family's immense financial burden, he was truly distressed.

Yuzu's words pulled him out of his thoughts, and he nodded with mixed feelings.

"But I feel we are not ready yet, and people are so foolish. What if they believe it's fake? Who will believe us then?"

Yuebai still had doubts.

"You forgot we still have a trump card."

Yuzu pulled out a scroll, placed it on the table, and continued, "Only the real thing can pick it up."

"This is... the book 'The Book Makes the Saint King Move'?"

Old Xu, who was he? He didn't need to know where the scroll came from or what it was used for. He saw the trick at a glance, and thoughtfully stepped forward to try it. Sure enough, just as Yuzi had said, he couldn't lift it at all.

While marveling at how wonderful it was, he also urged Green Pepper to try it out.

Unable to resist, Green Pepper had no choice but to put out the cigarette that had temporarily relieved her sorrow. She went forward to try it, and it was the same. The reel was connected to the table, and the table was connected to the whole room, just like one thing. There was no way to pick it up.

Already in a bad mood, having to go through all this trouble to try this made Green Pepper's face even worse, and she sullenly returned to her original position.

"Where's Qinghe? I never see her. It's making me feel like the Baolong Group only has four people."

For some reason, Yuzu suddenly looked annoyed, with her legs propped up on the corner of the table and one hand pinching her chin.

"They have their own families, unlike us who are constantly wasting our time here."

Old Xu tried to smooth things over by being realistic.

"What's so great about acting like a domineering CEO?"

When Yuebai saw the appearance of the pomelo, she was even more annoyed than the pomelo itself, and muttered under her breath.

"You know what, with his 'past' background, what's wrong with him being a domineering CEO for a while? If I could, I'd replace the portrait of my ancestor hanging in my thatched hut with his."

Old Xu calmed Yuebai's mind with a soft voice.

"What are you two whispering about?"

Yuzu asked a loud question.

"What the hell?! Why are you acting all high and mighty?!" Yuebai, hands on hips, was about to retort.

Old Xu quickly pressed down on her shoulder and blurted out, "Oh, we were talking about food. I heard you two came back today, so Green Pepper slaughtered a chicken to make some side dishes for everyone. It's almost ready now."

Perhaps because she had been starving, Yuzu's expression suddenly brightened as she looked out the window. She craned her neck to look at Green Pepper, "Brother Pepper, you personally slaughtered this chicken for us! You can even cook like this?"

"Mmm~ Stewed chicken."

Because of her own worries, Green Pepper became increasingly listless and lethargic.

"Let's eat, hehe!"

Yuzu Rice, overjoyed, rushed to the kitchen, oblivious to the dejected green pepper, and forgetting that she had just been acting differently.

"Then let's..."

Looking at Yuebai's eyes, which seemed to want to devour the pomelo whole, Old Xu asked with a smile.

The level of a God-King is not of much concern to him, an Earthling, but the Great Ruler can definitely influence the fate of Earth, so he still takes Yuebai's feelings into consideration.

"Let's hurry up and eat. With his heartless attitude, we might lose the whole chicken if we're late."

Unlike Yuzi, Yuebai grabbed Qingjiao's wrist before heading to the kitchen.

Compared to personal matters, the unpleasantness before the meal was quickly broken by the "Welcoming the Emperor at the Dragon Terrace" event, with everyone offering their own suggestions.

Yuzu summarized and made a plan. It's time to rest early today, and tomorrow we'll test the 'real dragon' with the scroll.

If Qingyuan is real, then everyone should tell him everything that needs to be said and done so that he can adapt in advance, while he has other important matters to attend to...

As night fell, the waking pomelo came to the open space in the factory.

The night was deep and quiet, so quiet that it seemed you could hear the stars in the sky making sounds.

Of course, he wasn't there to see the beautiful night sky. He shook his arms and twisted his waist, and once he was awake, he was about to transform into golden light and leave as soon as his feet left the ground.

"What are you doing, acting all mysterious?"

At that moment, a question came from the shadows.

Yuzi's feet were off the ground when the shout startled her back to her original position, almost causing her to twist her ankle.

Who is it? He glared angrily into the shadows, more worried than his displeasure that his sudden takeoff might have startled the person.

Green Pepper?! He was speechless after recognizing who it was. Just a few days ago, it was Green Pepper who suddenly popped out from a corner in the middle of the night and asked him for a lighter. "What are you doing now, sneaking around like that!"

"I couldn't sleep, so I came out for some fresh air."

Green Pepper had a cigarette between his fingers the whole time. You can only blame Youzi for being so oblivious; she didn't even notice the bright cigarette butt in the darkness. Green Pepper said as he walked closer to Youzi.

Me too.

Yuzu jumped around a few times, trying her best to cover up the unscientific thing that had just happened.

"Alright, stop jumping. No matter how you jump, you'll never reach that height again. You almost jumped onto the roof just now."

Green Pepper wasn't exaggerating. Looking up at the factory roof not far away, he estimated that if Yuzi hadn't been interrupted, she definitely could have gone up there.

He showed no surprise whatsoever, seemingly quite accepting of this unscientific phenomenon.

Huh...uh...

Yuzu was at a loss for words, unsure how to respond.

"Oh, what's there to hide? Even prophecies from thousands of years ago exist, so it's normal for someone to be able to fly over rooftops and do other things."

Besides, we've known each other for so long, what's there to hide? And I've long suspected you're different from ordinary people.

There's a reason why green peppers aren't surprised, and they seem quite perceptive about it.

This relieved Yuzu, who then laid her cards on the table. She chuckled and gestured as she said, "Okay, I'll tell you the truth. The matter of the prophecy is urgent, and I plan to fly away like this to plan some things I should do."

After listening, Green Pepper blinked thoughtfully, then asked suspiciously, "So the sword fight that night wasn't a dream, right?"

Which night? Yuzu was taken aback.

Oh, I remember now, the night Xu Xiangsheng came to the factory to ambush the [Baolong Group]!

Yuzu was quite surprised, thinking to herself, how could he, a mere mortal, and whose soul had been passively astraled, still remember?

But soon, after some thought, he was no longer so surprised and nodded, saying, "Yes! That night it was my soul leaving my body."

As if a major question had been answered, Green Pepper slapped his right hand heavily onto his left palm. Instead of being shocked, he seemed slightly excited. "Alright, I understand. You seem to be in a hurry. You'd better fly away and get on with your business."

That's quite decisive and efficient... Yuzu admires his style of doing things. Yuzu smiled and gestured, indicating, "Then I'll fly away in a flash?"

Okay, you'd better hurry up and go.

Green Pepper waved gently, somewhat absent-minded, more immersed in reminiscing about the feeling of her soul flying away that night.

And just like that, the pomelo transformed into golden light and flew away...
