Seeing the vendor red in the face and neck, Levi nodded somewhat speechlessly.
He really didn't understand why this would cause such a big reaction from vendors selling soda milk.
"What would an outsider like you understand!"
The vendor glared with wide eyes. "Our Xianzhou has over ten thousand years of history! This soda milk was passed down by our ancestors!"
"Don't you know, the ancestors' methods must not be changed!"
Right away, Levi's speechless expression turned calm.
Since he was already like this, what else could Levi say?
Conclusion: Drank too much soda milk.
Carrying the two cups of soda milk he bought, along with other breakfast items, he returned home.

[Back Home]
After putting the things down, Levi glanced toward Tingyun on the bed.
That single glance almost made his eyeballs pop out of their sockets.
How should this kind of scene be described…
Spring scenery suddenly revealed.
But Levi, being an upright gentleman, naturally wouldn't take advantage of someone while she was sleeping.
He withdrew his gaze and prepared to wash up and eat.
When he moved his eyes away, he noticed both sides of her temples were covered in a lot of sweat.
Even the blanket and pillow under her were soaked with wet marks.
Like she had just gone through a great battle related to Abundance.
Levi muttered to himself, "If someone saw this, even with an extra mouth I probably couldn't explain it clearly."
'But is Luofu this hot in the morning?'
'Why didn't it feel like this before?'
With doubts in mind, Levi went into the bathroom to wash up.
When he came out, Tingyun was already awake, fully dressed and sitting at the bedside combing her hair.
Maybe because she had just woken up, her movements were soft and weak, and her hazy eyes looked toward Levi.
Together with the flush on her face from the heat, any man who saw this probably wouldn't stay unmoved.
But Levi did it.
Because he was an upright gentleman.
He glanced at Tingyun's legs hidden under her skirt, and the faint outline of the tail behind her, then turned and sat at the table.
"Since you're awake, go brush your teeth and come eat."
Tingyun nodded, yawning as she walked into the bathroom. When she came out, Levi had already finished eating.
At his seat there was only one drink with unclear meaning left.
Not only at his seat, there was also a cup at Tingyun's own place.
Looking at the plain cup body, she felt it looked very familiar.
Maybe soy milk or something.
Tingyun thought so.
Just as she had woken up and her mouth felt a bit dry, she didn't think much and stuck in the straw and took a big gulp.
A taste impossible to describe and beyond naming exploded inside her mouth.
Tingyun's originally rosy face instantly turned pale like a long bedridden patient.
Beads of sweat formed on her forehead and rolled onto the ground.
The clothes on her back were also soaked with sweat, clearly outlining a certain garment.
White soda milk overflowed from the corner of her mouth as the indescribable taste kept stimulating her taste buds.
She wanted to spit it out, but spitting directly onto the floor was obviously not something Tingyun would do.
With anxious eyes she started looking for the trash can, but the usually very obvious trash can seemed to have disappeared.
No matter how she looked she just couldn't find where the trash can was.
For a moment she neither spat nor swallowed.
The stimulation continued. Tingyun felt like she was about to throw up, something rising in her chest.
Her eyes widened slightly, and she gave up looking for the trash can and ran into the bathroom to start vomiting.
Dry heaving echoed in the room.
After a while, when Tingyun walked out of the bathroom trembling slightly, she saw Levi who had just come back after taking out the trash.
Immediately she pointed at him. "You!"
"What you! I haven't even asked how you drank Qingque's cup of soda milk!"
Levi spoke first, interrupting Tingyun's skill casting and putting her into silence state.
'Qingque?'
She had heard this name before. A diviner from the Divination Commission, very famous around Exalting Sanctum.
And Levi had mentioned this name before when introducing himself, clearly meaning the two were friends.
Only…
"Why would something prepared for someone else be placed together with my breakfast."
'Isn't this deliberate!'
Tingyun wasn't some inexperienced young girl. Levi's excuse didn't work on her.
Holding to the idea that since she drank it, he had to drink it too, Tingyun shoved the other cup of soda milk firmly into Levi's palm. "Drink!"
Looking at the soda milk in his hand, Levi raised his head to look at Tingyun.
If you looked carefully, you could still see some milky white traces at the corner of her mouth.
"Can I not drink it."
He had planned to save this cup for Qingque. She was a loyal fan of soda milk.
After thinking for a moment, Tingyun nodded.
"Since it's for someone else, then we won't touch that cup."
Naturally she wouldn't use something meant for someone else. She took Qingque's cup of soda milk back and instead handed over the cup she had only taken one sip from.
With a smile she said, "You have to drink this one at least."
Levi swallowed, a trace of fear appearing on his face.
After a moment, determination appeared.
"I, as an ordinary commoner, still know the principle that men and women should not have improper contact. Miss, as a noble and learned person, how could you not know?"
"Besides, I am also an upright gentleman. How could I take advantage of Miss and invite gossip from others?"
As he spoke, he pushed Tingyun's hand back.
Seeing Tingyun's arm begin to exert force, Levi's expression tightened.
"Please Miss, don't make things difficult for me!"
"Wait!"
"Wait! Tingyun! Sister Tingyun! Sister Ting!"
"No! Sister Ting!"
"… bleh!"
Watching Levi also start vomiting, Tingyun's eyes showed not the slightest bit of pity.
In this short time, she had already roughly figured out what kind of person Levi was.
Simply put, someone who loved causing trouble.
Then she thought of the diviner called Qingque, and a trace of pity appeared in her eyes.
Being this guy's friend must have been very hard.
———
Looking at the message sent by his superior in the jade communicator, Levi got fully dressed and prepared to leave for work.
Before leaving, he specifically reminded Tingyun that unless necessary she shouldn't go out, and she shouldn't open the door even if someone knocked.
After all, people familiar with him all knew where the house key was hidden.
Tingyun nodded to each instruction.
She knew why these were necessary, all to prevent that Lord Ravager from discovering she was still alive and had already come to Luofu.
Which could cause it to escape, or disguise itself as someone else and continue acting.
But what made Tingyun feel strange was Levi himself.
Tingyun looked at him with a strange expression.
"This outfit of yours…"
"How is it! Handsome or not?"
With thick white powder covering his face, Levi blinked several-centimeter-long eyelashes at Tingyun.
With flaming red lips he blew her a kiss.
It made Tingyun feel a chill.
"Looks pretty good. I suggest letting more people see it."
"People who lie aren't cute~"
This ugly makeup was something he specifically asked Elysia to teach him.
The biggest effect of this outfit was making people unwilling to look at him.
Eye-burning.
Using this to hide his identity.
After all, there were quite a lot of Disciples of Sanctus Medicus on Luofu right now. Going out with his original appearance might get him recognized.
He was somewhat famous among the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus.
Very easy to be discovered.
———
Leaving Exalting Sanctum, he arrived at the Divination Commission.
Just after entering the Divination Commission gate, he saw the sleepy green figure. He quickly stepped forward and patted her shoulder.
The girl turned around blankly. Seeing the smiling Levi, she stayed silent for a moment.
Then came a heart-tearing scream.
"Ghost!!!"
"..."
