Four Split Personalities

Yu Chen was quite surprised and widened her pretty black eyes: "Wow, Little Blake, are you helping to carry bags? That’s amazing!"

"Yeah, I carry them."

Blake nodded, his mouth twitching as he said, "Elisa says she can’t carry anything heavier than a spoon..."

Yizou was a little dumbfounded: "So?"

"So I carry them. Elisa didn’t buy a lot of things... uh... not that many."

Blake’s cute and handsome little face broke into a smile, proudly saying, "Although my hands are not big and I’m not tall enough, I do know some convenient Divine Arts, and here in the Academy City, which is much more free than the City of Light, even if I use Divine Arts to keep those things floating in mid-air, it wouldn’t seem strange, right?"

Yu Chen covered her mouth and chuckled, "So it’s because you have to walk and continuously use Divine Arts to help carry bags that you’re so tired?"

"Yep!"

Blake nodded vigorously. In fact, not only was he using Divine Arts to carry bags, he was also maintaining a plethora of techniques including but not limited to constant temperature, soundproofing, aura concealment, visual shift, sentinel measures, trying to ensure Elisa Logan, who reportedly rarely had the chance to just go out casually, a perfect shopping trip without anyone noticing.

"So, Prince Blake, why don’t you use spatial equipment?"

Yizou remained confused, curiously asking, "If I remember correctly, your Signet Ring has a storage function, right?"

Blake started to feel dumbfounded: "..."

"Oh right!"

The Female Knight gently patted her rare unarmored white hand with two light purple Dragon Scales on the back: "I remember Lady Elyssa also has spatial equipment, like her earrings!"

Blake’s eyes went blank: "..."

Yizou still had a curious yet bewildered expression: "Prince Blake?"

"Pfft—"

Finally unable to hold back, Yu Chen burst into laughter.

"I... I’m going to sleep."

Blake, with a face like he’d ruined the day, staggered to his feet, with an expression of utter resignation, turned and headed towards the stairs.

Two minutes later

"Your Highness..."

Yizou nervously glanced at the corner of the stairs where Blake disappeared and asked Yu Chen quietly: "Did I say something wrong just now?"

"Hehe, well, in a way you did say something wrong, but..."

Yu Chen raised her finger gently tapping her thin lips, the corners of her mouth slightly lifted: "Actually, that little guy probably had fun with it too, so it’s alright."

"Had fun with it?"

Yizou scratched her head in confusion and blinked: "I don’t quite understand..."

"Hmm, though I could explain the deeper meaning here a bit~"

Yu Chen smiled slyly, then playfully stuck out her tongue: "But for this and that reason, I’ve decided not to tell you."

Yizou: "???"

Then...

"Welcome back~"

Yu Chen suddenly turned and gently waved her little hand towards the door.

"I’m back~"

Motan, with the same ruined expression as Blake had earlier, smiled, plopping down on the chair Blake had just dragged over to the table, and sighed wearily: "I’m so tired..."

"Ah! You’ve worked hard, Senior!"

Yizou immediately poured a cup of low sugar, low milk coffee for Hei Fan, then asked without thinking: "Senior, did you also accompany someone shopping?"

"Ughk!"

Motan, preparing to take a refreshing sip, choked away 2% of his Health Points, violently coughing for nearly half a minute before recovering, glaring indignantly at the curious Female Knight: "What nonsense, why would I accompany someone shopping for no reason?"

"Do you want to go shopping?"

Yu Chen suddenly asked out of the blue.

"Sure, sure, I know a nice place in the Central District... Wait a minute!"

Motan first subconsciously agreed, then suddenly reacted, looking sharply at Yu Chen: "Are you messing with me!"

"Hehe~"

The girl blinked playfully, sweetly chuckling: "Am I?"

"What are you two up to..."

Motan powerlessly slumped onto the table, holding his head and weakly murmured: "Anyway, I’m kind of mentally exhausted right now, can’t say what happened, just let me lay here for a bit."

Yu Chen and Yizou exchanged a helpless look, shrugged, and were about to say something when they heard an extremely weary greeting from the door—

"I’m back..."

Phyllis Graham walked in half-dead, dragging her heavy steps to Yu Chen’s side, then leaned her whole body soft and limp towards the latter... ’s chest.

And was stopped by a suddenly appearing, not strong but surprisingly firm hand on her shoulder.

"Be careful walking, Lady Feiyali."

Still slumped on the table, Motan weakly said, then relaxed his hand that had just stopped Phyllis’s sinful fall, continuing to lie there as lifeless as a dead dog.

"Havan, you’re always meddling!"

Phyllis huffed, then slowly sat next to Yu Chen, slumping over the wide tabletop like Motan, half-dead mumbled: "Truth be told, I swear by the Wealth Goddess’s name, I’m freaking out..."

"Eh?"

Yu Chen gently hugged Phyllis’s shoulder, concernedly asked: "So what did you do earlier?"

"Negotiating business at some hideout..."

Phyllis twisted her mouth, rolling her eyes dramatically: "I’ve never negotiated such a challenging deal in my life... Damn it, am I supposed to be the Wealth Goddess’s Favored or is he? I used at least thirty-seven suggestive Divine Arts, drafted nine contracts with hidden terms looking fine at first, second, third glance, and yet that bastard picked out every trap without fail, what the hell? What a nightmare!"

Lying on the table with her head buried in her arm, Motan subtly shuddered.

"Ah..."

Though not quite clear, Yu Chen, who always knew Phyllis was extremely skilled in business, was shocked and hurriedly asked: "So did you lose the negotiation?"

"No way, impossible!"

Phyllis gritted her teeth, raising her head angrily: "How could I lose! Me, Phyllis Graham! How could I lose to a mere Otherworld thug!"

[Otherworld thug?]

Yu Chen was momentarily stunned, then softly laughed: "Didn’t lose, so you won, right?"

"Didn’t win either..."

Phyllis’s face stiffened, dryly said: "That jerk’s impressive, not an opponent one can handle in just one afternoon plus half a night, so today’s result is a draw. Damn, he doesn’t need to sleep, but I do! God, just straight up Battle until morning, how much water must be in my head to compete staying up with an Otherworlder! Ridiculous! Ridiculous, that person!"

Yu Chen, not quite grasping the severity, blinked in awe. Though unclear about specifics, one thing was evident, her highly capable, sharp new friend in commerce clearly met her match.

And a true equal opponent!

"Hmm, Phyllis, you should go to sleep."

Yu Chen gently caressed Phyllis’s slightly frizzy soft golden hair, softly said: "Since it seems like it’ll be a lasting battle, for your business, make sure to rest well and recharge."

It was evident Yu Chen understood Phyllis quite well, hence choosing ’for business’ over ’for health’.

"No way, I must draft three contracts with hidden terms embedded in the floral border!"

Phyllis gritted her silver teeth, resolutely declared: "I’ll fight to the end!"

[Ah, embedded in the floral border, noted, really too polite.]

Meanwhile, Motan, just hours ago engaging Phyllis in a "Chaotic Neutral" persona Battle, smacked his lips and subtly grinned under his arm’s cover.
