Ram said matter-of-factly, then turned and headed toward the kitchen.

"...... Um...!"

Onyxia opened her mouth, then said awkwardly, "Actually, my appetite...... is a bit big."

"...... That has never been any big problem!"

Ram gave Onyxia a deep look.

Having witnessed Su Han's and Luo Cuilian's appetites after consuming the Gourmet Cells, Ram did not think that satisfying a dragon's hunger would be any difficult matter.

Ram split off a large number of shadow clones and began cooking.

When the first batch of dishes was laid out on the table, Ram also took the opportunity to sit down at the table and began eating with everyone.

Her shadow clones, meanwhile, kept bringing out dish after dish in a steady stream.

Yuan Dagu was a bit uneasy at first, but as time went on, he gradually loosened up and began to enjoy the food.

As he ate, he suddenly thought of something and said casually, "Oh right, President! This mission...... do you already know where the target is?"

Su Han did not answer directly, and said in a low voice, "Jarvis!"

"I'm here."

A virtual projection screen suddenly unfolded in the dining room, and a calm, unwavering voice rang out at just the right moment, "Mr., the songstress named Luo Tianyi.

Is currently in the Imperial Capital.

Living together with a member of the Reincarnator Management Bureau...... Li Xuezhu."

"Mm."

Su Han raised an eyebrow; he suddenly felt that the name Li Xuezhu sounded a bit familiar.

"...... Master!"

Ram reminded him, "Li Xuezhu is... the Reincarnator who, last time, met with you through me."

"...... So it was her!"

Su Han immediately understood. He rubbed his brow, his expression somewhat odd, "Why is Luo Tianyi together with this one?"

"Based on the information I have obtained, Miss Luo Tianyi should be related to the Reincarnators."

Jarvis's voice was steady.

"Is that so?"

Su Han's fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop, thoughts flickering through his mind.

He recalled the requirement from the previous mission to uncover the truth.

When this meal was finished, Su Han lightly tapped a point in the void.

At once, gray mist spread out, shrouding Ram, Lei Mu, Su Han, Luo Cuilian, Onyxia, and the others.

When the mist dispersed, Su Han and the others had vanished, leaving only Chi Tong, Hei Tong, and a few others still at the spot.

...... In a residential district of the Imperial Capital.

Radiance shimmered, ripples stirred across the void, and then figures materialized one after another out of thin air.

Lei Mu looked around with keen interest. This was a bedroom. "...... Is this where Luo Tianyi lives?"

And when Lei Mu found that Luo Tianyi was not there, a hint of disappointment appeared on her face.

Su Han said nothing; he directly opened the door and walked out.

Luo Tianyi and Li Xuezhu were currently eating.

Hearing the strange noise, both of their expressions changed abruptly.

Li Xuezhu's blood and Qi surged, and she directly hurled a punch toward Su Han and the others.

The void gave a crisp hum, and the force of the fist condensed into a solid form.

"This isn't our first meeting either! You don't need to welcome us with such an enthusiastic attitude, do you?"

Ram spoke with a note of helplessness. She stepped in front of Su Han, and her palm lightly brushed across the void.

Flames flickered at Ram's fingertips, distorting the very void.

The terrifying fist force had barely slid past her palm before it vanished without a trace.

"What, wait...... Su Sheng, and, Miss Ram and Miss Lei Mu—how could it be you?"

Li Xuezhu finally saw clearly who the visitors were, and was both incredulous and uneasy.

But then, her brow furrowed as she sensed something was off.

"Wait...! Su Sheng has long resided in Jianghai City...... how could he possibly appear here?"

Ram watched Li Xuezhu grow wary again, and the corner of her mouth twitched.

She didn't know whether to praise Li Xuezhu's high vigilance or say she was overthinking things.

In the end, she could only use action to prove her identity.

Terrifying flames spread out from Ram's body, instantly engulfing the entire house.

Luo Tianyi crossed her arms over her chest, looked around at the sea of fire, bit her lower lip, and forcibly held back her fear.

At this moment, she was just like a startled little rabbit.

Li Xuezhu was silent for a long while.

Her fingers lightly touched the flame, felt the searing heat, and only then gave a bitter smile.

"...... Alright! Miss Ram, I believe your identities now...... please put the flames away."

Although Li Xuezhu did not have a deep understanding of the power Ram possessed, she could, through the scene before her, intuitively perceive the gap between them.

If Ram truly harbored ill intent toward the two of them, she could simply kill them outright...... there would be no need for such unnecessary moves.

"Tell me about it! What's the situation with Luo Tianyi?"

Su Han casually sized up Luo Tianyi, then finally let his gaze settle on Li Xuezhu, "And why are you like a bird startled by the mere twang of a bow?"

Su Han and the others had come for Luo Tianyi. Li Xuezhu was slightly surprised.

With Su Han's current status, what could Luo Tianyi possibly have to attract him? Though thoughts flickered through her mind, Li Xuezhu wisely did not press on this point, and answered, "Luo Tianyi is actually a being from another world!"

"And Miss Li Xuezhu... was actually originally summoned by a certain defected Reincarnator!"

"That... Reincarnator's skill is very special... he can randomly summon a powerful being from another world... it's just that because something went wrong on his end at the time, that's how he ended up summoning Luo Tianyi."

Li Xuezhu said up to here, reorganized her words, and continued, "Of course... it's precisely because she was summoned due to a mishap.

"So Luo Tianyi doesn't have to obey his commands, and was ultimately taken in by the Reincarnator Management Bureau... for now, she's temporarily entrusted to my care!"

"What does that have to do with you being so wary?"

Lei Mu was somewhat puzzled.

"Because that guy might make a move against Luo Tianyi soon."

Li Xuezhu's expression turned serious. "Although Luo Tianyi isn't under his control, she still occupies his summoning slot... under normal circumstances, he could voluntarily dissolve the contract.

"And send the summoned being back! But now, clearly it's not a normal situation..."

"Since Luo Tianyi has no connection with him, the only way for him to free up his summoning slot and then summon the next powerful being from another world... is to kill Luo Tianyi."
