Four Split Personalities

Chapter 2142: Chapter 1006: Homeward Bound

Academy City, Central District, God knows what ghost place this is

"So, although I want to return to the resting place before the server shuts down today, I’ve memorized it’s at the Mirehaus Avenue No.11 [Chuiqing] Inn..."

Motan turned out of the alley entrance and sighed deeply, glancing up at Dawn on the horizon, eyes full of melancholy. The corners of his mouth curled into a self-deprecating smile, he covered his face with a dry laugh, and moaned softly: "But how the heck could I find the destination in just a dozen minutes?! Also, where the heck is this place anyway?! Is there anyone who can come to my rescue?!"

"Hmm? Are you feeling unwell?"

"No, it’s not a problem with my body at all."

"Then, it’s because you’re hungry? Would you like me to treat you to a meal?"

"I have absolutely no appetite right now..."

"No appetite... could it be a sexual desire then? Even if you’re busy with that, I won’t easily agree to help you."

"What a load of nonsense... Ah, ah?"

Motan twitched the corner of his mouth, then suddenly widened his eyes, abruptly turning around to face the blond girl who appeared behind him, staring at her misty light blue eyes and exclaimed: "Why are you here, Luna?!"

Luna clutched her thin silver-grey robe tighter, took several seconds before slowly responding: "Because Guild Leader Fulongdaier helped me secure an apprenticeship spot, so I’m here.

"No no no!"

Motan waved his hand vigorously, pointing to the tiles beneath his feet: "I mean, why did you appear here at this time?"

"Taking a walk, while incidentally purchasing some things."

Luna answered calmly, seriously saying: "Guild Leader Fulongdaier said he’d reimburse my expenses here, so I want to buy some insanely expensive materials that I normally never have the chance to use."

Motan laughed dryly: "I think what Lord Guild Leader meant by ’reimbursement’ probably wasn’t referring to that..."

"Maybe, I don’t know."

Always drifting between countless channels, the girl shrugged nonchalantly, then gave Motan a curious look: "So why did you say you needed someone to rescue you just now?"

Motan smiled rather shamefully, awkwardly rubbing his nose: "You heard that huh."

"Yes, I heard it."

Luna nodded heavily, curiously asked: "So is it really about sexual desire..."

"No! It’s not!"

Motan vehemently denied the girl’s assumption, forcefully pressing down on her thin shoulders, seriously stating: "I’m just lost! Purely lost! Absolutely no such need you imagined!"

"Absolutely no such need?"

Luna frowned slightly, softly said: "That too is an unhealthy expression, so after all it is a body problem... If you’re willing, I could try helping to concoct some easily sellable potions; I survived by selling those back when I had no money for food...."

"Stop!"

Almost on the verge of tears, Motan interrupted Luna through clenched teeth, getting straight to the point: "So do you know where Mirehaus Avenue No.11 is? If you do, could you help lead the way? By the way, I’m really healthy, absolutely healthy in every aspect, so please don’t make any more of these random guesses!"

"Yes, physical health is more important than anything."

Luna didn’t express any dissatisfaction at being interrupted, simply nodded slowly: "I roughly know how to get there, I can lead you, but speaking of which..."

Motan blinked slightly, a little puzzled asked: "What is it?"

"I think I gave you a Navigator before, right, this way."

Luna began guiding Motan while nonchalantly saying with her unique ethereal voice: "Isn’t that thing useful?"

"Not useful? Are you kidding? Is there anything more useful than that alchemy prop in this world?!"

Motan swung his arms exaggeratingly, exclaiming: "Seriously, your Navigator is definitely the most convenient, most thoughtful, most useful alchemy prop I have ever encountered... um, I mean the most useful thing I’ve seen in my life! If I could, I’d even want to pass it down as a family heirloom! However, it’s my first time in Academy City, haven’t had enough time to memorize the map, right now I don’t even know where I am, so can’t find the place even if I know the direction..."

"Oh."

Luna just nodded lightly without saying much, but if observed carefully, one could notice the corners of her mouth subtly curling into a tiny, almost imperceptible smile.

Just like that, under the guidance of the kind-hearted passerby Luna, Motan, actually not far from his destination, managed to appear in front of [Chuiqing] Inn in less than ten minutes, exhaling deeply.

"Want to come in for a sit?"

Motan smiled invitingly to his benefactor, chuckling lightly: "Though I just returned, they already booked a room for me yesterday."

Luna hesitated for a moment, but then her expression changed slightly, shaking her head: "No, I still have things to do, maybe another time, goodbye."
