Chapter 40: with translation of chapter title

However, although thoughts kept arising in her mind, Aodali's face still bore a faint smile, perfectly matching noble etiquette, she softly said: "I made Baron Yadelien laugh at me; I just discovered that Suxi had secretly sneaked onto this ball, I was worried it would affect others, and was about to take her away."

That's how it is.

Withdrawing his hand from petting the golden retriever, Feng Yi's eyes showed a hint of understanding, then he smiled and said: "I think Suxi is very human; she probably won't affect others. Miss Huoer may be overthinking."

No matter what, a pet dog appearing at such a ball is ultimately somewhat improper.

Exactly!

The two chatted idly for a moment, sensing Audrey's emotional shift, Feng Yi casually found an excuse, left the place, and headed toward the rear of the hall.

Watching that tall figure recede, Aodali furrowed her brows, a hint of doubt flashing in her green eyes, she unconsciously murmured:

Baron Yadelien seems to have undergone some indescribable changes.

He looks no different from before, but he used to always have an aloof demeanor; although his outward appearance was gentlemanly and matched noble etiquette, it actually gave a feeling of being fake.

Today he gives off a confident and calm feeling, his speech is also very casual, lacking that previous aloof attitude that annoyed people.

Most importantly, he was already standing here before; how could I have overlooked his presence, as if I hadn't noticed him at all?

As an extraordinary who had taken the Spectator potion, Aodali's sensitivity to details and observational far surpassed that of other-path extraordinaries, let alone ordinary people; this was a mistake she should not have made.

Could he also be an extraordinary?

Thinking this, Aodali's heart involuntarily grew wary.

However, she also did not generate excessive surprise.

As the daughter of a major noble of Beikelande, she had long known that among Beikelande's nobility there existed some extraordinaries hiding their identities.

This wasn't particularly strange, after all, potion formulas and ingredients aren't that rare; as long as one has gold pounds, there is still a chance to obtain them.

I don't know what pathway or sequence this baron is an extraordinary of; it seems I'll need to be more careful when dealing with him in the future.

Thinking this, Aodali recalled the previous scene, turned to look at the golden retriever beside her, stroked its head, and praised: "Suxi, you actually didn't refuse the baron's petting earlier; I didn't expect that, your adaptability is really getting better and better!"

Woof

The golden retriever Suxi wagged its tail, a pair of big eyes showing visible puzzlement, its mouth opening and closing instinctively, the surrounding air also slightly vibrating: "Woof, Aodali, I also don't know why; I just feel that the baron's aura is very comfortable."

Comfortable.

Could he also be an extraordinary of the Spectator pathway?

Before her words faded, Aodali's face stiffened, she suddenly looked at the golden retriever beside her, and blurted: "Suxi, you... you... you can speak?"

Her mouth opened, her pair of bright eyes like jade widened, completely forgetting the etiquette an elegant noble lady should have.

The sound her own golden retriever Suxi just made was indeed a word in Loenese, although somewhat stiff and not smooth enough.

The golden retriever also seemed to suddenly react; facing its owner, it nervously wagged its tail, opened and closed its mouth a few times, then caused the surrounding air to vibrate:

Woof me.

Woof, Aodali, I also don't know how to talk to you; you know, I'm just a dog.

Woof

Hearing those words, Aodali seemed to completely lose her ability to speak.

After a moment, she suddenly realized that she was still at the ball; this was not the time to deal with these things.

"Fortunately, the place where this baron stands is relatively secluded, hardly anyone would notice here; otherwise, if others saw a dog actually speaking, then..."

Thinking this, Aodali couldn't help but want to cover her face.

Afterward, she didn't dwell on it, quickly taking the golden retriever Suxi, found an excuse, and left the ball.

She now needs to properly ask her own golden retriever why it can speak.

On the corridor on the other side of the ballroom, Feng Yi, who was walking, seemed to sense something, and the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily.

"Truly deserving of being the righteous lady who accidentally let a dog take the Spectator potion!"

Having this thought arise in his mind, Feng Yi slightly shook his head and walked toward the end of the corridor.

The end of this corridor, which connects to the dance hall, is another area belonging to this ball.

Here too is a hall, but not for dancing; rather, it is a place for rest and communication.

In the middle of the hall are arranged rows of long tables, on which are placed various delicacies, wines, desserts, snacks, and so on.

After exchanging a few words with several familiar nobles along the way, Feng Yi came to the table displaying various desserts and saw a short figure voraciously eating the ice cream in hand.

"Weier, how many times have I told you, eating too much ice cream is bad for a child's body."

While speaking, Feng Yi also casually picked up a beautifully shaped ice cream and took a bite.

"Mm, actually the taste is not bad!"

Speechlessly glancing at the mysterious being beside him with a somewhat bad taste, Weier spoke in a flat tone: "Your Excellency, I am the Snake of Fate, Sequence 1 of the Fate pathway."

An ice cream capable of influencing a Sequence 1 angel—this world probably has never seen such a thing!

Haha.

After a light chuckle, Feng Yi patted the Snake of Fate's head and laughed: "But you're still just a child; kids should act like kids!"

Weier slightly pursed his lips, offered no rebuttal, after all his current state really is that of a child.

After a while, looking at the somewhat gloomy Snake of Fate before him, Feng Yi stopped teasing him, restrained his smile, and calmly said: "Weier, I'm leaving!"

Huh?

Weier froze, even forgetting the ice cream in his hand.

He raised his head to look at the figure beside him, his mouth moving slightly, and whispered: "Are you leaving Beikelande?"

Perhaps.

Feng Yi raised his head, his gaze deep as he looked at the huge crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling, as if he could see through the roof to the whole world, to the endless starry sky, and added a thought in his mind.

"Leaving this universe"

Weier lowered his head, pondered for a moment, then looked again at the figure before him and softly said: "Then, Your Excellency, may I accompany you?"

After finally sensing the hint of fate's indication and vaguely obtaining an opportunity, he did not want to give up.

Feng Yi shook their head, their voice carrying a hint of etherealness as they said: "I can only leave alone; this is a journey that belongs solely to me."

This

Wei Er's face showed a hint of disappointment, but they still said: "Yes, Your Excellency, I understand."

Don't worry, I will come back again.

Seeing the Fate Snake beside them looking a little lost, Feng Yi smiled and said: "Moreover, when I return to Beikelande next time, I will help you accommodate the Uniqueness of Sequence 1 of the Fate Path, the Fate Die, laying the foundation for you to achieve the Fate Wheel of Sequence 0."

The sound was not loud, but at the moment it fell, it seemed to stir some special trace, forming an invisible ripple.

Wei Er's heart jolted, their spirituality resonating with the fate trajectory in the dark, they fell into a strange state, feeling an urge to bring hot tears to their eyes.

At this moment, his mind held only a single thought:

Indeed, the opportunity to accommodate the Uniqueness lay with the other party!

They finally truly 'saw' the opportunity to accommodate the Uniqueness of the Fate Path, the Fate Die!

The Fate Path was also about to manifest a true Sequence 0 deity!
