"Are you taking a nap..."

Obi lay on the window sill, looked at the sleeping people in the room and laughed in a low voice.

"It's really easy for scholars to fall asleep in a place full of books."

Ye Ying, who was leaning against the window, glanced at the pattern inside, and her deep purple eyes fell on the sleeping Bai Xue.

"Is our mission to secretly protect Miss Xue Bai?"

"There is also a dragon." Obi added, the dark gold cat eyes looked in a certain direction, he had already seen the dragon when he passed the study room just now.

"Actually, not only Miss and Young Master Long, but also the people they want to protect, we have to watch over them."

"You will know later, this job is really not so easy~"

Obi sighed leisurely, he moved his eyes, and suddenly noticed that Bai Xue seemed to be moving, and the eyelashes under those beautiful eyebrows trembled slightly, as if he was about to wake up.

A slight smile appeared on the corner of Obi's mouth, stood up under Yeying's astonished gaze, and quietly walked to Baixue who was about to wake up.

He squatted down, staring at Bai Xue with his dark golden eyes, his eyes had an extremely gentle expression.

"And it's not 'secret'. After all, we are the messengers appointed by the master, so there is no need to be timid."

"When necessary, we can also lend a hand to help a little. If the lady is too tired, the master will be angry."

Bai Xue, who opened her eyes, immediately saw Obi in front of her, and she was shocked.

"Europe……"

Her voice was blocked by the hand that gently covered her lips, Obi covered Snow White with one hand, and stretched out a finger in front of her lips with the other hand to make a "shh" motion.

The familiar dark golden cat pupil showed a gentle and light look, which immediately calmed down Bai Xue's heart.

She glanced at the people in the room who were still sleeping, and nodded intelligently.

In the next second, she almost exclaimed again.

Obi let go of his hand covering her mouth, and suddenly hugged her horizontally with both hands.

She widened her eyes and immediately covered her mouth, for fear of making too much noise.

It wasn't until Obi easily jumped out of the window and landed on the aisle outside with her in his arms, that she whispered, "Can't you go through the door?"

"Ahaha, hurry up this way~" Obi laughed, and quickly ran towards the study with Bai Xue in his arms.

He gestured to Ye Ying who was hiding in the shadow, and Ye Ying followed quietly.

The place where everyone was resting was next to the study, and Obi rushed in immediately while there was no one there.

The lights in the room were flickering. Looking at a small figure standing in front of the bookshelf from a distance, he seemed unaware of their appearance.

Long stood in front of the tall bookshelf, withdrew his outstretched hands, his handsome face was expressionless.

Lilias's study does not have the long staircase carefully designed for him as a 12-year-old boy in the palace.

His research has just reached a critical point, and several important formulas and material ratios are still missing.

Frowning and looking at the book that was still a certain distance away from him, Long wondered if he needed to find someone to help him get the book.

"?!" His body was suddenly lifted up.

The surprised but still expressionless little face looked back, but finally revealed a look of surprise.

"Obi...?"

"You've worked hard, Master Long."

Obi laughed out loud, he liked this young man who was known as a genius but was not good at expressing himself.

Obviously other children are still playing at his age, but he has already started to learn to be independent.

Such a serious expression appeared on a 12-year-old boy, even he was a little bit embarrassed.

Bai Xue walked over stroking her forehead, Obi noticed her unfriendly eyes, and immediately coughed guiltyly.

"This... I'm sorry, miss, my desire to stay with you was discovered by the master."

He put down the dragon who was holding the book, with a flattering smile on his face.

"Well, don't be angry, I have been to His Royal Highness brother well."

All kinds of explanations were finally forgiven, and Obi breathed a sigh of relief.

He immediately pointed to the night shadow in the shadow and said to the little dragon:

"Introduction, this is Ye Ying, the master's new messenger."

"Although it looks soft and weak, there is no problem in terms of strength at all! When you need help, don't worry, just give instructions directly~"

Ye Ying stood in the corner and watched this side, saluting slightly when the dragon's eyes looked at her.

She knew that this talented young man who devoted himself to the study of pharmacy was already a professional court pharmacist at the age of 12, and had an IQ and expression that were completely incompatible with his young age.

Even Bai Xue is working as his assistant, and keeps learning new knowledge from him.

She couldn't help feeling a little admiration in her heart.

"Okay, keep working!" Bai Xue stretched her waist, and turned her gaze back to the open book on the table.

The content related to the disease that was originally recorded was blank, and her eyes could not help showing disappointment and anxiety.

There are more and more people falling down in the city. All patients with symptoms will have corrugated marks on their limbs. Medicine to raise body temperature.

If you can read this book, at least you can know the cause of the disease.

"Is there really nothing you can do?" Obi held up the book and looked at it with parallel eyes, trying to find some mystery from it.

"There's nothing... what do you mean?" Bai Xue turned her head a little surprised.

"I mean, maybe you can see the marks of a pen or something, maybe?"

Obi put down the book, but was startled by Bai Xue who suddenly appeared behind him.

Bai Xue stared at the blank space in the book with unprecedented seriousness and dignity. She suddenly turned around and opened a cabinet door full of potions with a serious expression.

"The disappearing words are so strange considering the gaps in such an old book, I'm a little concerned."

"Is it true that there is no way at all, but it is worth trying. If it succeeds, maybe the words on it can be restored!"

The operation to decipher the handwriting was vigorously launched. After the addition of You Zeli, who is good at plant collection, and the pharmacist Bell of Lilias, the deciphering progress increased again.

At Bai Xue's request, Obi went to borrow the record book of the fallen children, soldiers, and the researcher's scope of action.

And Yeying stood silently in the shadows, as if a real shadow was not noticed by anyone.

She quietly watched the bustling library and observed everyone passing by.

She knew little about pharmacy, and her only knowledge was limited to poison and medicine and detoxification.

It's a pity that this time it was not poison, but an illness of unknown cause, which made her a little idle.

She noticed a child named Gerrit in the crowd. Among the many researchers, this child stood out.

It seems to be because there is an uncle with profound knowledge in pharmacy, who often comes here to play without authorization.

It is said that it was this kid who found them in the first place, hoping to help save his fallen companions.

If the child's companions are down, then he should also be infected with the disease.

She smelled a strange smell on the child, very faint, emanating from the body.

She secretly remembered this smell. She had seen those researchers who had the disease, and they also had the same faint smell.

But what reassured her was that Baixue and Long didn't have it. Based on the frequency of contact between the two of them and Gris before, at least it can be concluded that the disease is not contagious.

"Saw!!"

The exclamation of joy made everyone come together.

Under the action of the potion, the text was restored little by little——

...the cause of this...disease is likely to be...

...faint...glowing water?

"Hey... I know this!" Gerrit, who had been paying attention anxiously, exclaimed immediately, "I've seen it before, in the forest where only me and my friends know about it... There is a glowing pool !"

Too bad... For some reason, this thought came to Yeying's mind. She pulled up the scarf around her neck and looked at Baixue.

Sure enough, Bai Xue grabbed Grete who was running out in a hurry, and turned to look at Obi.

"Yes, yes." Obi smiled as if he had known for a long time that it would become like this.

Ye Ying sighed, stood up, and followed quietly.

☆、【Qixi Small Theater】

[If, on the basis of Bai Xue, there are more night shadows, and 6 people (3 men and 3 women) are staying in a hotel outside at the moment...]

"Boss, I want 3..., 4 rooms!"

Walking into the inn, Guangxiu was standing in front of the counter and talking to the boss, suddenly, as if thinking of something, he turned his head to look at Yeying and Baixue, and quickly changed his words.

...Usually Qian has been in the same room alone, he lives with Obi, and Bai Xue lives with Mu Mu...

...But now that there is an extra night shadow, it seems that we need to add another room...

"This guest... we only have 3 rooms left..."

The boss standing in front of the counter rubbed his hands in embarrassment and smiled.

"Eh?!" Now it was Guangxiu's turn to be in trouble.

He stood there for a moment, gritted his teeth, and simply hit the floor by himself!

"Then ask for three rooms!"

……

"So, there are only 3 rooms?" Chien looked at Mitsuhide with a smile on his face, and Mitsuhide hurriedly explained because of the shuddering feeling.

Obi rubbed his chin, his eyes sparkled: "Yeah, Mr. Guangxiu is laying the floor, that's a good idea~"

Guangxiu paused, and immediately looked at Obi with black lines all over his face: "I've decided, it's better for Obi to lay the floor."

"By the way, when you were a killer before, it seemed like you were just freeing them... Well, you don't even need to reserve a room for you."

Obi: "...Master, this is not fun at all~~"

Yeying looked at Guangxiu, then at Obi, and blinked her pure deep purple eyes:

"Wouldn't it be nice for Obi to share a room with me?... Why do we have to sleep on the floor when there are 6 beds?"

The air seemed to be stagnant for a moment, and everyone looked at Yeying with stunned expressions, even Miss Mumu, who had been expressionless all this time, was a little stunned.

As if not understanding what everyone meant by looking at her like that, Yeying hesitated and continued.

"Or I go outside...there were always three rooms before without me."

"Cough cough..."

The people with different expressions fell silent after a series of difficult face changes.

The strange gaze flickered on Ye Ying for a few times, then immediately shifted to Obi, sending out ray waves of unknown meaning.

Obi's whole face froze immediately, and he shook his hands with a dry smile: "... this... I think I'd better go to the master's place to make a bed on the floor..."

……

"Snapped--!"

The door was closed directly, and Obi silently looked up at the door that shut himself and Yeying in the same room.

There was a drop of cold sweat on his forehead, and he turned his head guiltily to look at Ye Ying who had already walked inside: "Hey, you won't really let me live in, will you?"

"Is there a problem?" Ye Ying turned to look at him with some doubts, "It's just sitting and practicing... If you don't like other people around, I can go outside."

...Is it just cultivation...

Obi was ashamed. He used to go out on missions before and sat quietly with his companions all night to rest his mind. He immediately shook his head when he heard the next sentence.

"Obi." Yeying's voice suddenly became serious.

"Ok?"

"Play a game with me."

"... Huh?!" Obi opened his eyes wide and opened his mouth wide, looking at Ye Ying inexplicably.

Yeying looked at Obi with a very serious expression: "I want to fight against all kinds of people so as to hone my skills."

"This fight is over...don't worry, I won't kill you."

"..." No, will, kill, drop, me?

Obi repeated every word in his heart, and the corners of his eyes twitched slightly.

He felt as though a certain masculine dignity within him had been challenged.

He turned around and walked in front of Yeying, the corners of his mouth were slightly curved, and there was some ridicule in his serious expression.

"Well, are you sure you can kill me?"

……Is not it……

After Yeying heard his words, the expression on her raised little face became slightly puzzled.

Obi looked down at the expression on the girl's face, the corners of his eyes twitched, and an unknown fire seemed to rise in his heart.

His expression became more relaxed, and he spread his hands as if admitting: "Ah, ah, you are indeed very good, but..."

Before he finished speaking, Yeying's expression was suddenly startled, and she quickly stepped back——

The narrow room slowed down her speed, and Obi, who was already very close, reached out and grabbed her wrist, and pulled it hard!

At the same time, she only felt that her feet were empty, and her body lost her balance and fell down uncontrollably.

Her other hand immediately stretched out to the sword at her waist, and a cold light flashed in her deep purple eyes—but the moment she touched Obi's smiling dark golden eyes, she froze slightly, originally terrified and cold There was a trace of bewilderment in his eyes.

"...However, some places are not the battlefield you are good at~~"

Obi's proud voice came from above, and Ye Ying felt her hands clenched, and she was shocked to find that she was lying on the bed suppressed by Obi.

Obi grabbed her hands, stretched out his legs to block Yeying's knee kick, and then intertwined and locked them tightly, a condescending smile appeared in the dark golden cat's eyes.

"Especially on the bed—this is where men have the final say~!"

Can't break free.Ye Ying frowned.As expected, her strength was still a little weaker.

If it were someone else, she would definitely not let people get so close to her...

But..., the expression on her face quickly returned to calm.

"Let go."

Her voice was indifferent, but there was a hint of arrogance.

Obi raised an eyebrow.

"I've been merciful."

Ye Ying's voice was cold and inexplicable, she seemed to see Obi's disbelief, she pondered for a moment, her lips moved slightly.

A sharp silver needle protruded from the girl's lips, shining coldly under the moonlight shining in from the window.

Obi's pupils shrank suddenly, of course he knew what it meant.

A chill rushed from the tailbone to the back of the head, and his hairs stood on end.

With such a short distance and a dark environment, he couldn't avoid the needle.

However, along with the fear, there was even more discomfort in his heart.

He looked at the girl with a calm face below him, and the silver needle in her mouth.

...This is what you call... the way you treat someone you like?

An indescribable slight anger slowly rose up.

The corners of his mouth suddenly turned slightly, and he lowered his head. Under Yeying's astonished eyes, he opened his mouth and bit the exposed silver needle——

He snatched the silver needle away with a strong swipe, and threw it aside, with a wicked smile on the corner of his mouth.

"So... now?"

His voice is very evil and charming, and the magnetic voice is like the whisper of a demon whispering softly in his ears.

His voice stopped abruptly.

When the dark golden cat eyes fell on the expression on the girl's face, he froze slightly.

The pair of deep purple eyes of the girl below him widened slightly, looking at him in confusion and astonishment.

Under the moonlight, the bright red lips were slightly parted, and the originally expressionless fair face was now flushed.

……

Wait, what did he just do?

The corners of Obi's eyes twitched slightly, and he subconsciously opened his mouth, the remaining soft touch between his lips made his expression stiff.

...It's over, he seems to have done something terrible...

He jumped up from the bed like an electric shock, took two steps back, and raised his hands with a smile on his face in cold sweat.

"This...cough, accident, accident..."

"...The moonlight outside is pretty good, I'd better go to see the night view..."

While shouting haha, Obi fled away at lightning speed.

He made up his mind that he must not go back to his room tonight! ... Absolutely not! !

……

Ye Ying lying on the bed stared blankly at the ceiling, not noticing Obi's disappearance.

She slowly raised a hand and touched her lips lightly.

The warm touch on her lips was so obvious that her face became hot and hot little by little.

The deep purple eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of fog, revealing a light of bewilderment...
