Raven, Bronya, and Rita, who were communicating, all fell silent at the same time.

Bronya slowly spoke, "Mei, are you sure you're not joking with Bronya? You idiot subordinate, you're still an adult, how could you possibly be carried off by a cat..."

“Please wait a moment, Miss Bronya. It’s not entirely impossible. After all, Lady Durandal’s cat named Stan can suddenly grow several times its original size.”

"Hey you two, do you still have the leisure to discuss these things now?"

Shouldn't the most urgent thing be to rescue them first? Then I'll go ahead."

Raven was the first to leave the carriage. As long as Xia Yuan was rescued from that creature's mouth, then... as a way of thanking his savior, he would become a bartender in his own bar. This was currently the only way to defeat the other two.

But when the raven left the carriage...

One thing she never expected was... why was this train flying in the sky!

"Oh no..."

"I didn't bring any skydiving equipment. Hopefully, I can find a suitable place to land."

At this point, only Rita and Bronya remained in the carriage.

"Then, Miss Bronya, Rita will take her leave now."

"Bronya won't lose. She'll be the first to find that idiot subordinate!"

Seeing the other person's serious expression, Rita smiled and replied, "Then I wish you a safe journey, Miss Bronya. But as a maid, it is Rita's duty to find her lost master."

"Hmph, Rita, let's have a contest and see who can find Xia Yuan first. The loser is not allowed to make any further moves against the other."

"As you wish~"

"Rita, you said it yourself. Bronya has already made a backup, so you can't go back on your word."

Communication was interrupted at this point.

Only Aunt Mei, who had been forgotten, was left alone in the cold snow.

"..."

After a moment of silence, Mei also began to act, after all, she also needed to find out the source of the aura of Alicia on the other person.

A long time passed...

The Red Kite has returned to its tracks at the city station.

Hei hope stepped out of the carriage and looked around at the empty space, with no sign of Xia Yuan.

"Could it be buried under the snow?"

Hei hope shouted loudly with some worry, "Where are you now, you bad guy? I'm not angry with you anymore, come out now!"

But no one responded for a long time....

The other party's position seems to be still in the same place.

Worried that Xia Yuan might be buried in the snow, Hei hope grabbed a small shovel and began her own snow-digging operation.

But little did they know~

Due to communication blocking, the other party's location information was not synchronized in a timely manner.

at the same time......

In a small alley in the city, [Canned Food] found a small open space with cover above and placed Xia Yuan, whom it was holding in its mouth, on a patch of ground with not much snow.

Padofelis's little hand reached out from the mouth of the can and gently... patted the other person's cheek from side to side.

"Brother Xia Yuan, Brother Xia Yuan, wake up, wake up! Don't sleep, don't sleep~ We should have gotten rid of that purple-haired aunt by now."

Upon waking from unconsciousness, Xia Yuan immediately removed the little hand from his cheek, brushed the snowflakes off his body, and said to Padofilis with a hint of resentment in his eyes:

"Pado...is this how you carry me around in your arms and run through the snowdrifts like this?"

"Hey, Xia Yuan, we really went through a lot to rescue you from that purple-haired aunt!"

"I went through so much trouble to dig that snowdrift out of you to save you, and... instead of thanking me, you even scolded me! You're so heartless, meow!"

Xia Yuan remained silent, but slowly extended his hand towards Padofelis...

Padofelis seemed to misunderstand the other party's meaning and placed her paw on the other party's palm.

"Ahem... Since Brother Xia Yuan wants to shake hands and make peace, then this magnanimous Lady Pado will reluctantly forgive you~"

Chapter 165 Phyllis, who survived the winter with a thousand tribulations

Before the words were even finished...

Padofelis continued:

"However, Xia Yuan, you will only receive 10% of the profits from now on!"

Phyllis stretched out her little cat paw and pointed it at Xia Yuan, indicating that he could only take this much... no, this much.

"...No, what I mean is that you take off the [canned food suit] you're wearing, and I'll put it on and carry you around in the snow with my mouth for a few laps."

Padofilis subconsciously glanced at the few strips of cloth covering her body.

Snapped--

With a crisp sound, Xia Yuan's little hand was slapped away by Padofelis's claw.

"Xia Yuan, you big pervert!"

Padofelis's slightly embarrassed and indignant voice came from inside the [can]. However, the girl inside the [can], who was covering her chest with her hands, seemed somewhat... to Xia Yuan, he really couldn't describe the feeling in words.

How did I become the pervert the girl described?

Thinking of Phyllis's cool and refreshing appearance, Xia Yuan seemed to have thought of something and said tactfully:

"Or... Pado, you should at least poke your little head out of the can before you start talking. It feels really weird to communicate like this."

"Don't even think about it, Brother Xia Yuan, just give up on that idea!"

But suddenly feeling quite surprised, Phyllis seemed to be re-examining and scrutinizing Xia Yuan, as if verifying something. Phyllis once again stretched her hand out of the mouth of the [can] and felt the coldness of the outside world.

Doo doo doo doo.....

"Xia Yuan... Brother, don't you feel cold?"

Padofelis said, huddled up and shivering from the cold.

"Cold? I don't feel anything..."

Xia Yuan recalled the sacred mark that once belonged to him. Perhaps it was the sacred mark that worked, allowing him to no longer fear the cold. In this respect, it seemed that Xiao Ai Li had not lied to him.

"If only Jie could be with us right now~"

Padofelis, hiding inside the "can", blew on her cold little hands and murmured to herself.

"Wait... Pado, why is it Qianjie? I remember you were very afraid of him, weren't you?"

"Hehe, Brother Xia Yuan, although we're really afraid of Brother Jie~"

But you must understand, this is a cold winter. Back in the Land of the Dead, every winter we would spend the season in the area where Brother Jie lived. It was the warmest place in the Land of the Dead. In short, without Brother Jie by our side, don't even think about letting us step out of the [canned food]!

It seems Phyllis is using the Thousand Calamities as a fireplace...

However, judging from this, in such cold weather, having Qianjie by one's side is indeed very reassuring, as the heat he emits is quite comforting. I just wonder how he is doing now.

At the same time~

On the other side of the city...

At this moment, Susana, a part-time delivery worker, fell into deep thought as she looked at the mountain of packages piled up.

"Oh no... In this weather, when will we get it delivered? I should have known better than to stop taking on delivery requests after Mei-senpai left. Waaah... Should I ask the reliable Alvit-senpai to do it?"

dong dong dong-

A series of heavy footsteps echoed through the melting snow and led straight to the courier station where the girl was. Looking at the job posting next to her, Qianjie tore it down and strode up behind Sushana.

"Hey kid in front... are you hiring delivery drivers here?"

Qianjie lowered his voice as much as possible and spoke to the girl in his lowest voice, the kind he usually used.

He needed this part-time job to buy a ticket to Mount Taixu.

The communication device given to Qianjie by Alicia was smashed, making it impossible for him to contact anyone. He could only receive the last message sent by Xia Yuan.

[Let's meet up at Mount Taixu...]

I heard a hoarse male voice behind me, like the whisper of a demon.

Susana stiffly turned around and saw a terrifying man wearing a mask with flames rising from his feet, who looked like a demon from hell, who had appeared behind her at some point.

"Evil...demon! Waaaaah...please don't take me to hell, okay? I don't taste good at all. Oh, and...demon sir, I'll give you all my allowance, please let me go..."

Susana trembled as she took a check out of her wallet, held it between her fingertips, glanced to the side, and slowly handed it to Qianjie's mask.

From the numerous zeros faintly visible on the check, one could deduce that the girl was likely a hidden heiress.

"...What demon? I'm asking if you're still hiring delivery drivers here, kid."

Seeing the other person constantly poking at his mask with that piece of paper, Qianjie suppressed his anger and said that he would not stoop to the level of a child. He then presented the recruitment poster that he had casually torn off to Sushana's face.

"Confess, confess, confess!"

The other party... doesn't seem to be a demon sent from hell to capture me!

Susana peeked at the job posting through the gap between her fingers, shaking her head like a cute little teddy bear.

"very good."

Qian Jie casually burned the recruitment poster in his hand to ashes, then pointed to the warehouse full of packages and said to Su Shana:

"After I finish delivering these, have your parents get me a train ticket to Mount Taixu."

"Huh?!"

"Hmm? Kid, is there a problem?"

Could it be that this reward is not enough to cover the bus ticket to Mount Taixu?

Just as Qian Jie was about to add more chips and ask what else the other party needed, such as... that he was also good at beating people, the girl in front of him jumped up excitedly.

"Really...really? You...Mr. Devil, oh no, you're practically an angel sent from heaven to save me!"

"Hmph, of course."

"Kid, remember to prepare my train ticket."

After saying this, Qianjie shouldered the package and left the warehouse without looking back.

Seeing the other person striding confidently through the snow, Susana could hardly believe her eyes.

"This is the true hero of the snow..."

Suddenly, Susana noticed the snowmobile used for transporting goods parked inside the warehouse.

"Senior Demon, please wait a moment, the vehicle you used to deliver goods is still in the warehouse!"

Susana hurriedly chased after her.

Under the intense passion of a thousand tribulations, the goods piled up in the warehouse dwindled, and finally, he received his reward from the girl as he had wished.

[Tickets to Taixu Mountain]

Chapter 166 Dr. Möbius in Hibernation

Master Qian has been busy for a long time...

He nodded in satisfaction as he looked at the warehouse, now completely empty of goods.

Although I don't know how I got here from the Paradise of the Past, I vaguely remember that a dazzling light flashed from the direction of Möbius's laboratory, accompanied by a violent mushroom cloud.

"It must be another trick from Möbius's experiments..."

Once he found Mebius, he beat her so badly she couldn't take care of herself. But now, Qianjie seems to have come to enjoy the sense of fulfillment and security that this job gives him.

Therefore... he decided to find something else to do.

Qianjie carefully kept his ticket safe, lest the flames he inadvertently ignited turn it to ashes.

"Hey... kid over there, do you still have work to do?"

"what?!"

Slightly flustered, Susana quickly swiped the virtual screen in front of her, searching for the commissions issued by the Destiny Logistics Department.
