Chapter 926 - 284: Wife Caught in the Act

"Too close, too close! Get a little farther away from me, you pinkeye fox spirit!"

"Their fingers are laced, wow, so bold."

"Why isn’t the Sect Master reacting?"

"Y-y-you can do that? Lacing fingers?"

Beihai, Cyan Cloud Sect.

The gathered True Inheritance disciples, along with Susan from the Beihai Disaster Strategy Bureau, were watching the live feed at the center and commenting.

The one who kept yelling for the Prince to move away was, of course, Super Cyan Flower.

As the only professional in Cyan Cloud Sect, Cyan Flower had sensed the Prince’s level of danger at first glance.

High status and authority, stunning appearance, that innate Royal Family arrogance—put into some niche game and she’d be a super-popular main capture target.

Top-tier model and personality, and most importantly, her status: a real king of the Old World, with Old World people at her command and Mirror Country tech for power.

Forget Jiang Si—if a dialogue box so much as popped up at the bottom, Cyan Flower would be dying to rush in and capture her herself.

She’s way too good at triggering people’s desire to challenge and conquer.

I’ve said it before, the most important thing about a niche game heroine is her identity and status, okay, does no one get this...

However, the naive True Inheritance disciples of Cyan Cloud Sect clearly hadn’t noticed the Prince’s threat level. In terms of status, aside from Lord Bingtang, none of them could really compare to the Prince.

Yet this bunch of True Inheritance disciples were still stupidly watching the show. Even when the Prince directly laced fingers with him, these little girls barely reacted; Yu Mo was still whispering over there, "When the Sect Leader comes back, I-I want to try it too..."

Once the Sect Leader gets taken down by this kind of bad woman, what the hell are you still gonna try!

Cyan Flower shrank on her bench, viciously biting her own fingernail. "Which one of us has actually laced fingers with the Sect Leader? What gives her the right..."

"Lord Bingtang has."

With Yu Mo’s soft reply, Susan couldn’t help looking over at Bingtang.

Right now Bingtang had a pretty ball of yarn in her hands, like silk, with a crystal-clear sheen like ice.

The computer in front of her, for once, didn’t have any documents or office software open, but a short video.

In the video, a woman was giving a step-by-step tutorial on knitting gloves.

Holding two knitting needles, Bingtang was clumsily using that silk-like yarn ball to knit the gloves bit by bit. Noticing everyone’s eyes on her, Bingtang froze for a second, then nodded. "The Sect Master doesn’t mind things like that."

"But you do have to be careful not to sweat. The Sect Leader doesn’t like that sticky feeling. And your fingernails, Cyan Flower—you should really cut them..."

Cyan Flower finally understood why Lord Bingtang didn’t care at all.

She’s already done all of this and more...

"Lord Bingtang, isn’t your workload light lately?" Susan shifted her gaze away from the Ice Crystal and looked at Lord Bingtang, who was fully focused on knitting gloves, unable to resist asking, "This won’t hold things up too much, will it?"

"Ever since I took control of the Disaster Strategy Bureau, I’ve been able to toss a lot of annoying tasks to Jin Cha, so my work’s much lighter now."

Bingtang slipped the half-finished glove onto her hand, fingers slightly curling and moving, feeling the comfort and texture of the finger stalls; the icy silk felt pretty good.

This thread was carefully chosen by her.

Every time she changed into a different pair of over-the-knee socks, she would deliberately make contact with Jiang Si, let him feel the texture, and based on the strength and duration of his touch, she finally settled on this silk that Jiang Si seemed to prefer.

Of course, strictly speaking, the difference in how long he lingered was only a few milliseconds each time. Whether Jiang Si actually liked it that much, Bingtang couldn’t be sure—but it was still better than picking at random.

"Wouldn’t it be easier to just buy them directly?"

Super Cyan Flower immediately wagged her finger at Susan, wearing a "this child is hopeless" expression. "Of course hand-knitted gloves have more value as a token of affection."

Bingtang didn’t deny it, only said, "I’ve been really into hand-made knits lately."

Cyan Flower nodded at once. "I get what you mean."

"Let’s focus more on the other footage. The Sect Master said that once we enter Mirror Country, we can’t let a single Alice get away; we must clean out Mirror Country in one go."

With Bingtang’s reminder, the other True Inheritance disciples didn’t dare relax too much and continued watching the feed sent from the Sect Leader.

For this trip back into Mirror Country, Jiang Si had made meticulous preparations. From the start, he had Bingtang cooperate with his act and embedded an Ice Crystal into his eyeball. Used purely as a transmission device, the Ice Crystal’s Magic Power signature was extremely faint, and with Jiang Si’s disguises and concealment on top of that—

Even with Mirror Country’s tech, it would be very hard to detect.

Under Bingtang’s control, those Ice Crystals could even turn at any time into harmless water droplets with no special reaction and soak into the pupils.

The only flaw was the lack of sound.

And after the Sect Leader and the Prince laced their fingers, the Sect Leader’s expression stayed calm as his lips moved. Cyan Flower immediately tried to read his lips: "What the Sect Leader is definitely saying here is, ’Your hands are so small, why are they so much softer than mine, we can enter Mirror Country...’"

"The lip shape doesn’t really match." Susan rubbed her chin. "He should just be simply saying, ’Let’s go together,’ right?"

"I-I think the Sect Leader is saying, ’Let go, or I’ll k-k-kill you!’"

Yu Mo’s words were full of murderous intent; it actually did sound a bit like the Sect Leader.

Everyone watched as, once the affectionate moment ended, the Prince was about to drag the Sect Leader into the spatial rift. Cyan Flower clapped her hands at once.

"See, I told you they were going to enter Mirror Country. Look how eager the Prince is."
