Just as Hanabi was thinking to herself, Xia Die walked over.
Xia Die came to Bai Yuan's side and took his hand.
Hanabi's smile widened.
Xia Die grabbed Bai Yuan's hand and pressed it directly onto Hanabi's thigh.
Um! ?
This was somewhat unexpected for Hanabi.
Xia Die pressed down again, causing Bai Yuan's hand to grab a handful of Hua Huo's thigh.
Hanabi's thighs weren't very fleshy, quite slender and bony. However, her skin was delicate and cool, and felt very silky to the touch.
"Ouch! Ouch, ouch, ouch..." Hanabi quickly lowered her thigh. Hidie's grip was actually quite strong; after that grab, Hanabi noticed a bruise on her thigh.
Xia Die glanced at Hanabi. Although she didn't know who Hanabi was, she thought that anyone who dared to make her jealous like that was seriously underestimating her. Besides, even if she were jealous, she wouldn't take it out on Bai Yuan.
Even someone as well-informed as Hanabi wouldn't know about Bai Yuan's relationship with Fei Xiao, Yun Li, and the others. It's unrealistic to expect Xia Die to lose her temper due to jealousy.
Feeling she had made a mistake, Hanabi limped and hopped away into the distance.
She would only send a message to Bai Yuan after traveling to a distant place.
"Little Yuanzi, I have another reward for you! It's about what those Memory Masters of the Flowing Light Memory Court want to do against you. Do you want to know? If you do, come find me anytime."
After saying that, Hanabi disappeared somewhere and hid.
Arriving in a deserted alley, Hanabi unconsciously rubbed her thigh.
No one had ever touched her thigh before. So, this was truly unexpected for Hanabi.
However, it also piqued Hanabi's interest.
Playing pranks on others is fun, and getting tricked back when you fail to prank them is also fun.
"Perfect timing. It seems there are quite a few interesting people here in Pinocchio," Hanabi thought to herself.
Just as she was thinking this, the lid of the trash can next to her suddenly opened, and a figure appeared inside.
Ah Xing smiled contentedly.
This is truly a golden moment; the trash cans here are quite a sight.
Ah Xing rolled his eyes with a satisfied expression.
Seeing Xingbao's slightly dirty face, Hanabi greeted her with a smile.
"Hello, Little Gray Fur."
Ah Xing looked at Hua Huo with a puzzled expression.
Who is this person?
Also, why is there a handprint on her thigh?
Chapter 235 Location of the Fifth Clone – Dream Reef [First Update]
"Who are you?" Xingbao asked Hanabi.
"Want to know?" Hanabi limped and skipped away into the distance. "I'll tell you next time we meet."
As soon as Huohua finished speaking, Xingbao rushed to her in a few steps, grabbed her, and lifted her up.
Are you kidding me? Your leg is limping like that, and you're still trying to be mysterious?!
“You can say it now,” Ah Xing said to Hua Huo.
Hanabi's small feet, clad in wooden clogs, swayed a few times in mid-air.
"Why do you all play like this?!" Hanabi felt increasingly that everyone she had met today was abnormal, and she hung speechlessly in mid-air, complaining to A-Xing.
"Huh? Who else?" Ah Xing asked curiously when he heard Hanabi say that.
"Hmph, but he's an old friend of yours." Hanabi pointed in the direction where Bai Yuan and the others were.
Ah-Hsing followed Hanabi's gaze, and Hanabi took the opportunity to escape from Ah-Hsing's grasp and quickly ran away.
This is, after all, a dream world. Although the handprint on Hanabi's thigh is still there, it has almost healed and will not affect her movements.
Fireworks vanished in the blink of an eye, and Ah-Hsing couldn't chase after her, so he simply followed the direction Fireworks pointed.
It was a perfect opportunity to meet with Bai Yuan and the others.
"Bai Yuan, you guys actually came to Pinocchio!" Upon seeing Bai Yuan, A Xing greeted him.
"Ah Xing, it's you! What a coincidence! We came to Pinocchio and were just about to contact you to ask where you were. We never expected to run into you like this." Bai Yuan greeted Ah Xing happily as she approached.
However, he silently took two steps back.
Ah Xing just came out of the trash can. Even though the Pinocchio trash can doesn't smell, she's still filthy. If you let Bai Yuan and Ah Xing get close, Bai Yuan definitely won't want to.
"I didn't just happen to run into you. I met someone just now who told me you were here." Then, Ah Xing told Bai Yuan about meeting Hanabi.
Upon hearing that it was fireworks, Xia Die gently clenched her fist.
That girl, she's incorrigible. Next time I see her, I'll have to give her a real beating. And a physical beating at that, to teach her the lesson of daring to flirt with Bai Yuan.
Upon seeing this, the robin hurriedly contacted its brother.
“I’ve already told my brother that if the hound family sees the girl, they will definitely notify us,” Robin told Shiro.
Bai Yuan nodded slightly, but he had no confidence whatsoever that these hound family members could catch Hanabi. After all, Hanabi was the Masked Fool, whose strength and cunning far surpassed those of the others.
Bai Yuan was still thinking when A Xing spoke up, "Alright, stop thinking about these things. You guys just arrived, right? I've been here for several days. I'll show you around properly."
"Ah."
Afterwards, Ah Xing, Bai Yuan, and Xia Die began to stroll around the Golden Moment at Pinocchio.
The magnificent building, with its windows revealing a variety of precious items inside, was dazzling even to someone as indifferent as Bai Yuan.
The robin also said to Bai Yuan, "Bai Yuan, is there anything you want? I'll pay for it as payment for saving me before."
Robins are world-renowned superstars. Although they have participated in many benefit performances, they also earn a great deal from regular performances.
"I can buy it myself."
Bai Yuan is no longer the penniless pauper he once was. He has made many contributions to the Immortal Boat Alliance and has amassed considerable wealth. Buying luxury goods is no problem for him.
Robin had already pushed open the door of a jewelry store and was calling out to Bai Yuan and the others.
"Don't be so polite, otherwise we won't even be able to remain friends," the robin said to Bai Yuan.
Hearing her say that, Bai Yuan had no choice but to agree.
Ah Xing asked in confusion, "By the way, isn't this a dream world? What happens to the goods we buy in the dream world in reality? Bai Yuan isn't going to live in Pinocchio forever. Wouldn't it be a waste to buy things if he leaves?"
Hearing Ah Xing say this, Robin smiled and said, "Don't worry, that won't happen. The goods you buy from this store also exist in the real world. After you buy them, they will deliver them to you in the real world."
"I see." Ah Xing nodded.
Robin invited Bai Yuan and the others inside.
Afterwards, Bai Yuan and Xia Die walked hand in hand into the jewelry store.
Ah Xing, Huang Quan, and Huo Huo stayed outside.
Huang Quan didn't want to go, and Huo Huo was too scared to go in. As for A Xing, having just come out of a trash can, the shop assistants didn't dare let her in.
Bai Yuan and the other two strolled around inside for a while before coming out. The robin had a new necklace around its neck, while Bai Yuan and Xia Die wore matching couple rings. Xia Die also had a pair of earrings, which were sparkly and exquisitely beautiful.
Looking at her exquisite appearance, Huo Huo couldn't help but show an envious expression. She was petite, but at her age, she was considered to be at the stage of budding romance among fox people.
While she was considering, Bai Yuan handed her a jewelry box.
"Here, this is a gift for you. Open it and take a look," Bai Yuan said to Huo Huo with a smile.
"This, this is not appropriate..." Huo Huo was about to refuse, but seeing Bai Yuan's eyes, she timidly took the jewelry box.
Huo Huo then opened the box and saw a fox-shaped pendant and a matching necklace. A smile appeared on her face; she liked these too.
Bai Yuan then took out two jewelry boxes and handed them to Huang Quan and A Xing.
The jewelry he and Xiaodie wore was a gift from Robin to Bai Yuan. The rest of the jewelry, including the one around Robin's neck, was paid for by Bai Yuan himself. Bai Yuan would never let Robin pay for gifts for others under any circumstances. Robin thought this made sense and nodded in agreement.
"Come on, take a look."
Huang Quan also received a necklace, which she silently wore around her neck. Ah Xing, on the other hand, received a bracelet, which she put on immediately and happily swung around in it.
"How is it? Does it look good?" Ah Xing asked Bai Yuan.
"It looks nice, but it would be even better if you could wash your hands first," Bai Yuan muttered speechlessly.
"Hehe..." Ah Xing chuckled and didn't argue.
Bai Yuan also handed several boxes of brooches and jewelry to A Xing: "By the way, these are for Xiao Sanyue, Uncle Yang, Sister Ji Zi, and Dan Heng. Remember to bring them to them later."
Bai Yuan really went all out this time, buying things for everyone.
"Okay." Ah Xing nodded. "I thank you on their behalf."
“Let’s keep going. There are still many interesting shops ahead. I’ll take you around during the prime time,” Robin said after seeing Bai Yuan tidy up the gifts.
Upon hearing Robin's words, Bai Yuan nodded repeatedly and took Xia Die's hand as they walked forward.
……
The group wandered around for seven or eight hours. Although Robin wanted to stay and play with Bai Yuan a little longer, she knew she still needed to prepare for the Harmonious Music Ceremony, so she had to say goodbye and return home to rest.
Bai Yuan and the others also needed to rest, so they found a massage parlor to take a short break.
This shop uses massage chairs; you lie down in the chair and the massage starts automatically. Bai Yuan and the others were all lying on them, enjoying the mechanical, automatic massage.
Oh, except for Ah Xing, who was once again turned away at the door because of the stains on her clothes.
Actually, Ah Xing wasn't in such a bad situation at first. It was only because she couldn't resist the temptation of the trash cans during her visit and rummaged through a few that she was now being refused entry again.
Bai Yuan was lying down enjoying a massage when, at that moment, he felt something in his right eye.
Bai Yuan knew clearly that this meant another clone of himself was about to appear.
The fifth clone's safety has been further enhanced.
Previously, when he sensed his strength had increased, Bai Yuan wondered when a new clone would be created. Now that a new clone had appeared, Bai Yuan's worries had finally subsided.
As for the reactions to the clones' vision in dreams, Bai Yuan guessed that the cheat code on him might be located in a deeper part of his soul, which is why he would react even in Pinocchio's dream and could control several of his clones.
"I don't know where this clone of myself will be born."
Bai Yuan thought to himself.
However, he is now extremely powerful and has a deeper understanding of his clones. Bai Yuan also has a general idea of where his new clone will be located.
Now we'll see if his guess is correct.
Bai Yuan opened his right eye and adjusted himself to his fifth clone.
The surrounding area was a dilapidated building, and the sounds of people talking could be heard from all around. Bai Yuan adjusted his fifth clone, and seeing that no one was paying attention, he quickly chose to sneak away.
As he walked, he observed the situation around his fifth clone.
There were quite a few people around, but their clothes were relatively worn. At the same time, Bai Yuan looked up at the sky and discovered that there was a huge hole in mid-air.
Upon seeing this, Bai Yuan instantly determined his location.
"It actually appeared inside Dream Reef. Perfect, it makes it convenient for me to devour Pinocone's memory matter." Bai Yuan thought to himself as he looked at the situation.
If the fifth clone appeared at any other time in Pinocchio, it would be easily discovered by the Hound family. Only in this Dream Reef, beyond the reach of the family, could Bai Yuan manipulate the clone to devour Pinocchio's memories.
In order to successfully devour what Zhou Tiange summoned, Bai Yuan must first adapt his body to the composition of Pinocene.
Without further ado, Bai Yuan manipulated his fifth clone to head towards the void.
Compared to the previous clones, this fifth clone has seen a significant improvement in initial strength, and its power is quite impressive on its own.
Chapter 236 Fireflies: Is There an Error in Eriol's Script? [Second Update]
The memory of Liumeng Reef is constantly leaking into that huge void.
This leak also made it easier for Bai Yuan to manipulate his fifth clone to absorb the energy.
Bai Yuan manipulated his fifth clone towards the void. Using the clone's agile movements, it quickly approached the void. The other people on Liumeng Reef were used to the large void above them, and Bai Yuan's approach went unnoticed.
However, there is one exception.
A young girl was observing the large cavity very close to it.
