"Woah! You're thinking really far ahead, aren't you? Have you even planned for the afterlife? Tell me, what's your last wish? Eggy can fulfill it for you, but only one, mind you."

Feng Yi looked doubtful, "Are you sure about that?"

"Yes, I'm sure."

"You're serious?"

"Dead serious. But remember, only one wish, okay? I'm only offering this much because of our relationship," Eggy put on the look of someone guarding against a swindler.

"Actually, now that you mention it, I do have one," Feng Yi stroked his chin, lost in thought for a second, then said, "I wish for you to be an upright and honest dragon from now on. No more fake 'equipment,' if you know what I mean. That's my last wish."

"Oh, my goodness, who came up with this terrible idea? Considering your dignified, charming, and extraordinary appearance, it's shameful, despicable, and appalling that such words would come out of your mouth—how did I not realize you were this shameless before? I'll have to keep my guard up around you from now on, lest I get beaten to death."

"Heh, am I that weak?"

"Speaking of which, what power level are you at now?"

"My power level is pretty unstable. Sometimes I'm in the mid First-Order, sometimes in the early First-Order. It's like it's just messing around. When my body's in good shape, I can reach mid First-Order; when I'm not feeling great, I can only perform at early First-Order level. Of course, my experience points haven't changed. Even if I encounter someone really tough, I think I can hustle and take care of it. Don't worry, you won't die."

That's exactly why I'm worried. Hopefully, Wu Tian doesn't take the opportunity to pull something like inviting you to some top fighter's betting game nonsense. That would be troublesome.

"I always know my own limits and won't do anything that's obviously impossible. With my current abilities, I'm not even sure I can take on a guardian. I indeed contemplated the worst-case scenario earlier. Is Wu Tian planning to have Mengdie kill me? You're aware of her identity; she's actually an excellent assassin."

"It's not impossible that the old man is brewing up some conspiracy, but..." when Mengdie was mentioned, Eggy surprisingly offered an explanation, "Actually, I think that girl is quite decent, um, at least she's got something special for you."

"What do you mean by special?"

"From my observations, she seems to be the type with a cold and strong personality, difficult to approach, but she doesn't have that kind of attitude towards you. I don't know much about the beginning of your relationship, so tell me about your first encounter."

Feng Yi organized his thoughts briefly before responding, "We didn't exactly have an 'encounter.' She indirectly saved my life a few times, all of which you know about. It's created a vicious cycle that I have no idea when will end."

"That's the key point. Why did she save you?" Eggy retorted.

Feng Yi continued, "The first time, I think she felt guilty, although to her it was just as easy as lifting a finger."

"And the second time?"

Feng Yi said, "In the second battle, I pretended to be acting, making it look like I was losing, and then I exploded with rage, managing to hold a dagger to her throat. Guess what? She didn't panic in the slightest, didn't even flinch. I was stumped. I mean, show a little fear to give me some bargaining chips, right?"

Eggy suddenly interjected, "Too bad you miscalculated, but deep down, you appreciated her for saving you the first time, so you let her go, right?"

"Part of it was for that reason. I didn't harm her at the time, and after that, things started to get a little subtle. Later, when all four of them showed up at the inn, separated from me by just one floor, Mengdie didn't remind them I was right nearby. So it's hard to guess what she's thinking. Maybe because I didn't hurt her, or maybe because she couldn't be bothered to tell them, or perhaps it's just her personality, or she felt sorry for me, which is why I call her 'Little Confused Sister.' She's bewildering like that, hard to figure out."

Eggy suddenly burst into laughter, "Hahaha, I can tell, that girl does care about you, and she's very observant and meticulous. Maybe she knows you're not a bad guy at heart, so she doesn't want to hurt you."

"Is that so? But why do you ask all these questions?"

"It's nothing major. The more information you have, the better you can speculate. Mengdie is difficult to read, reserved like a tranquil flower when silent, and as aloof as a snowy lotus on a mountain. It's fortunate for you that her attitude is of the former toward you. So I think she has no malice against you—let me tell you, with girls like that, no matter how icy and unsmiling they may appear, as if nothing can affect them, once they fall for someone, it's often more genuine than anyone else's. It's rare, so seize the opportunity. But with your awareness, I doubt that's possible."

Feng Yi's expression grew more bizarre, "Why does everything you say sound so dirty? I suddenly feel like you're driving a car."

"I'm just telling the truth. Eggy is the most knowledgeable creature about girls in the whole world, not a single other—hee hee hee," and amidst its speech, a sleazy laugh echoed from its mouth...

"Well then, tell me, how can you make that girl's facial expression change?" Feng Yi asked Eggy a difficult question out of sheer boredom. Since he first met Mengdie until now, he noticed a startling fact—her facial expression had never changed. He intended to take Eggy down a peg.

Eggy casually replied, "That's too easy. Do you know the saying 'It starts with a first look, is loyal to looks, limited by talent, and weighed down by character'?"
