"Long time no see, Black Rabbit."
Although the initial plan was not to meet, since Lin Que had called her out by name, Leticia no longer concealed herself.
Raising her fair small hand, she waved at Black Rabbit in front of her.
"You seem to be doing well, I'm relieved."
"It really is Leticia!"
Black Rabbit excitedly ran to Leticia and hugged her.
"Leticia, it's so good that you're alright!"
"Ever since the Community was attacked, I've been searching for your whereabouts!"
"Please don't call me that anymore. I'm just an auction item that hasn't been bought yet."
Leticia smiled bitterly: "As a Hakoniwa noble, if you keep using honorifics, you'll be laughed at."
"I don't care about such things!"
Black Rabbit held the golden-haired loli tightly, with no intention of letting go.
"Leticia is Leticia!"
"Seeing you, Black Rabbit, just as you used to be, reassures me."
Leticia stroked Black Rabbit's head: "I'm sorry, you've had a hard year."
"It's nothing, it's all worth it."
Black Rabbit looked up, wiped the mist from the corners of her eyes, and the ears on top of her head excitedly twitched.
"Just being able to see Leticia again is enough for me."
"Speaking of which, you just said you were an auction item. What's that about?"
"It's exactly as it sounds."
Leticia replied, "That defeat a year ago led to me becoming the property of an unknown entity."
"It seems to have deliberately concealed its existence. The other party transferred my ownership to Thousand Eyes and had Thousand Eyes help sell me at an auction in a few days."
"How could this be!"
Black Rabbit's hair changed color in excitement. "That hateful fellow! How dare he treat Lady Leticia like this!"
"Calm down, Black Rabbit."
Pressing down on the overly excited rabbit, Lin Que stepped out from behind her.
Gazing at the young loli in a black dress before him, Lin Que pondered for a moment before asking,
"When is the exact date the auction will begin?"
"Because of my inclusion, Thousand Eyes plans to use this opportunity for promotion, so the auction has been postponed to a month later."
Seeming to understand what Lin Que intended, Leticia spoke first, "Give up. The auction will be very large then. You won't be able to compete with those large Communities."
"A month is enough."
Lin Que ignored Leticia's words. "Just be ready to be bought back by me then."
"A vampire loli, that sounds pretty good."
"Hey! Are you thinking something weird in your head?!"
The Black Rabbit beside him looked over suspiciously. "Lady Leticia is a senior. What do you intend to do?"
"Senior is a thing of the past."
Lin Que raised a finger and shook it. "Once I buy her back, she'll be my property."
"By the way, even if I buy her back, she'll only be pet number two. The number one spot will always be reserved for you~"
"So, you two have that kind of relationship?"
Leticia looked over with some surprise. "No wonder Lin Que was willing to join No-Name. That makes sense."
"That's absolutely not true!"
Black Rabbit's cheeks and ears instantly turned red, flushed with anger by Lin Que.
"He's spreading rumors! I'm not some number one pet!"
"It's okay, I understand completely."
Leticia showed a hint of a smile. "Lin Que does seem like someone worth entrusting yourself to. Black Rabbit, you have good taste."
"Lady Leticia! Please stop joking!"
Black Rabbit became increasingly helpless.
Ever since Lin Que arrived, everyone around her seemed to enjoy teasing her along with him.
Although she was happy to meet her senior from the Community, she felt her reputation would be ruined if this continued.
"Speaking of which, Lady Leticia is currently being kept at Thousand Eyes."
"Were you able to move freely and appear here because White Yasha acted?"
"Yes, she told me to bring this little snake back."
The shadow beneath Leticia's feet spread to Bai Xue Ji nearby, pulling her into the shadow.
"The person has been picked up. Now I must return to Thousand Eyes."
"Leaving so soon…"
Black Rabbit became a bit disappointed. "We just managed to meet."
"Then let's go back together."
Lin Que casually reminded her, "White Yasha still owes me a Divine Spark. It's a good chance to visit Thousand Eyes again."
...
Having not seen each other for a long time, Black Rabbit pulled Leticia along, chatting about various topics.
And Leticia, not bound by strict standards, also cooperated by slowing her pace.
It took several times longer than the journey there for the group to return to the Thousand Eyes Store.
"Here you go."
As soon as they entered the tea room, White Yasha, who was already sitting there, threw a shimmering card over.
"A bet's a bet. This is the Divine Spark we agreed upon earlier."
Lin Que took the golden card and found his name written on it.
Below the name, two additional lines were inscribed.
Race: [Pure-blooded Dragon].
Grace: [Limiter Release], [Divine Spark].
"Hmm?"
Lin Que was stunned.
What was going on? How did he suddenly stop being human?
"This is a Laplace Paper, a fragment of omniscience."
Noticing Lin Que's strange expression, Black Rabbit, thinking he was wondering what it was, explained from the side.
"Besides storing items, it can also appraise the Graces on the holder, allowing them to understand the origin of their own power."
"In terms of value, it might not be comparable to a Divine Spark, but it's also a very precious Grace."
"Lady White Yasha, thank you for offering such a precious Grace."
"It's nothing. I've already given a Divine Spark, so this one doesn't make much difference."
White Yasha quietly leaned beside Lin Que, standing on tiptoe to look at the content above.
"Besides, I'm also curious about how this brat's power is…"
"Lady White Yasha?"
Seeing White Yasha suddenly fall silent mid-sentence, a hint of doubt flashed in Black Rabbit's eyes.
After a thought, she also leaned closer to look at the content on the Laplace Paper.
The next second, Black Rabbit's astonished voice echoed throughout the entire Thousand Eyes Store.
"Wha… What the hell is this!!!"
...
