Chapter 4: Spiritual Information

The occurrence of something that had never happened before disrupted Mo Xiao’s original plans.

The situation itself wasn’t too serious, but it meant that what she previously knew might have already changed.

What was once known had now become unknown—

That was troublesome.

And that girl just now was definitely no ordinary person.

Holding Bai Yuan’s soft, delicate body, a trace of worry surfaced in Mo Xiao’s heart.

As expected, things would not proceed as smoothly as she had hoped.

“Mo Xiao, how long are you planning to hold me?”

“Let go!”

Bai Yuan was snapped out of her earlier self-pity by Mo Xiao’s interruption.

She then clearly felt the soft sensation pressing against her back, and her small nose caught a faint milky fragrance drifting from the side.

“Seeing how upset you were, I kindly hugged you.”

“And now you’re complaining?”

“That really hurts my feelings.”

Mo Xiao was genuinely a little hurt.

In the past, Bai Yuan had practically thrown herself into her embrace.

Now that it was just a bit flatter, was it really such a problem?

“I… I didn’t mean it like that.”

“I’m just not used to it.”

Bai Yuan’s pretty face flushed red.

She hadn’t been hugged in a long time, and the soft warmth behind her made her flustered.

Now that her book spirit had been created, she could only accept it.

For now, she decided to try getting along with Mo Xiao—

Maybe they could actually get along.

Thinking of the parts of the setting that hadn’t been altered, she realized that although Mo Xiao didn’t look like what she wanted, she still possessed some of the traits she had designed.

For example, she was good at cooking and could take care of her meals.

She was also skilled in housework—

Maybe Bai Yuan could slack off in the future and let Mo Xiao clean the house.

“What is this idiot master thinking about?”

“By the way, who was that person just now?”

Mo Xiao could vaguely sense that Bai Yuan’s mood had improved.

Her attitude toward her was no longer as resistant as before.

“You already know, don’t you?”

“Why ask me?”

Bai Yuan buried her small head between her knees.

What she had just learned had hit her hard.

“I’m asking because I do know.”

“Hehe~ I’m not stupid.”

“That shop owner is the biggest suspect, right?”

“Isn’t it possible she’s the one trying to harm you?”

From Mo Xiao’s perspective, the girl named Yi Lian was highly suspicious.

She came here deliberately to claim the ink had been swapped and even compensated a large sum of Feather Coins.

There was no way she had no ulterior motive.

“N-no way…”

“Yi Lian is the only spirit materials shop owner in the academy.”

“Why would she target someone as insignificant as me?”

Bai Yuan’s thoughts stalled for a moment.

No matter how she looked at it, it seemed impossible.

Given Yi Lian’s status, there was no need for her to target someone like her.

She even began to wonder if the character she created had some problem with her brain.

With some concern, Bai Yuan opened Mo Xiao’s character information page.

Even now, she still didn’t fully understand what kind of character she had created.

【Character: Mo Xiao

Rank: First Rank, One Star

Potential: Transcendent (God-tier)

Race: Nether Abyss Dragon Clan

Spirit Work World: Initial Stage

Personality: Arrogant, Gentle

Likes: Bai Yuan】

……

Bai Yuan suddenly sprang up from the bed.

Behind her, Mo Xiao had been playing with her master’s white hair, but was abruptly flipped onto the bed.

Turning around excitedly, Bai Yuan grabbed Mo Xiao by her slender waist and lifted her up.

Her eyes sparkled brightly as she stared at Mo Xiao’s still-dazed little face.

“Mo Xiao, you’re amazing!”

“When did I ever write you to be this strong!?”

For a moment, Bai Yuan had thought she misread the information.

After checking multiple times, the words Transcendent Potential were deeply etched into her mind.

The race didn’t matter—that was something she made up anyway.

But potential was judged by the God of Creation at the moment of creation.

It wasn’t something she could decide herself.

Which meant the little girl in her hands had the legendary Transcendent potential—

A level that hadn’t appeared in ten thousand years!

Mo Xiao finally realized what Bai Yuan had been doing.

She had been checking her stats.

Fortunately, she could hide a small portion of it—otherwise, everything would have been exposed.

In her previous life, she hadn’t known anything at all.

When she first arrived, she had still been adjusting to her new body and figuring out how to act like a girl.

Then Bai Yuan had seen through all her information and completely controlled her.

As for that Transcendent potential—

It wasn’t judged by the God of Creation at all.

Her original potential had only been Silver.

She had simply… edited it.

“Hmph! Put me down!”

“You only realize how amazing I am now—so slow!”

Mo Xiao kicked her small, pale feet beneath her black gauze dress, struggling symbolically.

A hint of pride showed on her face, mixed faintly with embarrassment.

The words had slipped out instinctively.

After saying them, she herself felt awkward—

She wasn’t used to acting like this bratty personality yet.

“Alright, alright, I’ll put you down.”

“So dragon girls are this light?”

“I can actually carry you.”

Bai Yuan was in a much better mood now and didn’t argue with her.

She lowered her hands, letting Mo Xiao stand on the bed.

She had thought a dragon would be heavy.

But when she instinctively tried to pick her up earlier, she found she actually could.

“I was just born!”

“Of course I’m light, idiot!”

Mo Xiao’s face flushed red as she retorted.

In the past, she had always been the one carrying Bai Yuan.

Now everything was completely reversed!

Ignoring her attitude, Bai Yuan carefully observed Mo Xiao.

Earlier in the kitchen, she had only seen her from the side and back.

Now that she looked closely, she realized just how petite and delicate Mo Xiao was—probably not even 1.3 meters tall.

Her face was as finely crafted as jade, with delicate and exquisite features.

She wore a black gauze dress, with slightly translucent sleeves and hem revealing faint glimpses of skin.

Her golden eyes shimmered with faint tears, and her cheeks were flushed, as if she had just been bullied—

Even though she was clearly the one who had been scolding Bai Yuan earlier.

“Huh?”

“Why are you calling me an idiot?”

“You’re the one I created!”

“If I’m an idiot, then you’re a big idiot!”

Bai Yuan suddenly reacted and angrily retorted.

“But useless master only scored 60 on her exam.”

“If that’s not stupid, what is?”

“Y-you!”

“How do you know that!?”

Hearing her embarrassing past brought up, Bai Yuan flushed red and lunged forward, covering Mo Xiao’s mouth.

She had just transferred to this academy back then, and the exam content was very different from what she was used to.

That was why she had barely passed her first test.

“I just know!”

“I also know that stupid master likes wearing kids’ underwear!”

“Shut up!”

“You know way too much!”

The exam result only embarrassed Bai Yuan slightly.

But what Mo Xiao said next made her face burn bright red.

She pressed her hand harder over Mo Xiao’s mouth.

How did this girl know so much!?

“I’ll lick—pr~”

Mo Xiao stuck out her small tongue and licked Bai Yuan’s hand a few times.

It tasted slightly salty—

Probably because her master had been sweating earlier from nervousness.

“Ah!?”

“Y-you’re so gross!”

The sudden wet, slippery sensation startled Bai Yuan.

She froze for a moment before realizing what had happened.

Shouting angrily, she rushed off the bed and into the bathroom to wash her hands.

“Just licking your hand is nothing.”

“I even helped wash your body before.”

That was something from her previous life.

Back then, Mo Xiao had been even more shy than Bai Yuan.

Even until the end, she hadn’t dared open her eyes to look.

Muttering to herself, Mo Xiao got off the bed and walked to the table.

She picked up the bottle of spirit ink and opened it.

Her small nose twitched slightly as a faint ink fragrance rose up.

There was nothing wrong with the smell.

She dipped a pale finger into the ink, carefully rubbing it between her fingers.

Her expression changed slightly.

This ink could not be used by Bai Yuan.

Mo Xiao closed the bottle again.

At first, that shopkeeper Yi Lian had only been a suspect.

But now it seemed clear—

She was the one truly trying to harm Bai Yuan.

She would need to find an opportunity to investigate her identity.

This person impersonating Yi Lian was definitely not here with good intentions.

But tomorrow might not be a good time.

Mo Xiao vaguely remembered that Bai Yuan would encounter something unpleasant tomorrow.

Being a transfer student… was never easy.
