Daisy, having returned to her normal self, led Loren towards the spatial exit that emitted light.

As Loren stepped into the spatial exit, he felt a peculiar sensation wash over his entire body.

It was as if the entire space had forcibly given him a full-body massage, squeezing his body out into the outside world…

When the squeezing sensation on Loren’s body disappeared, he found himself in a deserted alley within Jadeite Main City, with Daisy standing beside him, smiling as she looked at him.

“How was your first experience with spatial travel, Loren?” Daisy asked.

Loren recalled the feeling from just moments ago, nodded with satisfaction, and commented with a hint of envy in his voice:

“A remarkably convenient ability.”

Sensing the implication in Loren’s tone, Daisy covered her mouth with a light laugh.

“You should consider studying the path of the Mages when you have the opportunity, my lovely fugitive gentleman.”

“Spatial Type spells would be quite suitable for your… getaways…”

After saying this, Daisy playfully winked at Loren.

She remembered the incident after the orphanage event, when Loren hadn’t even said goodbye before directly fleeing to the Radiant Flow Star Domain…

Sometimes, it was hard for her to evaluate Loren, this somewhat crazy yet inherently cautious person…

“Contradiction”—that was Daisy’s deepest impression of Loren.

Upon hearing Daisy’s suggestion, Loren’s eyes lit up. He lightly tipped his hat and spoke with a smile:

“An exceptionally constructive suggestion. I will consider it, Madam.”

Daisy tilted her head, looking at the tall man before her, a question mark slowly forming above her head.

Realizing Loren had clearly taken her suggestion seriously, she kindly reminded him:

“Spatial Type spells are very difficult. For spatial abilities, talent is more important than effort…”

“It’s fine. My luck has always been pretty good. What if I do learn it?” Loren said, squinting his eyes with a smile.

“…Well then, good luck. You’re still young anyway.” Daisy Wendy nodded.

In her view, Loren, at only 23 years old, had limitless possibilities for the future…

Even if he was currently on the Security Bureau’s wanted list, even if he took some detours in the future, he still had plenty of room for trial and error…

He was simply too young.

While his peers were still struggling on their respective paths of transcendence.

This Interstellar Hunter from the slums had already managed to take down nine Legendary powerhouses simultaneously, and had consequently earned a top spot on the Security Bureau’s wanted list…

Truly an exaggerated life experience, worthy of the man I’ve taken a liking to… Daisy thought subconsciously.

In response to Daisy’s blessing, Loren gave a slight nod, seemingly agreeing with her words.

Of course, my luck has always been good…

“Well then, I’ll take my leave.” Loren chose the opportune moment to bid farewell.

“Lady Daisy, regarding the matters that follow, I believe it would be better if you didn’t get involved…”

Hearing this, Daisy offered a shallow smile.

“Is this concern?”

“No, it’s just a reasonable suggestion.” Loren’s tone was calm.

As his words fell, an eerie silence descended upon the alley.

After a long while.

Someone, unwilling to accept this, finally broke the silence.

“Loren, don’t you feel cold when you sleep alone at night?” Daisy asked softly, her voice carrying a hint of melancholy.

“Actually, I don’t sleep anymore. Meditation is a very meaningful activity.”

Loren answered her with a completely straight face.

“Do you really have no needs… regarding women?” Daisy pressed on, refusing to give up.

Hearing this, Loren tilted his head, looked at Daisy, and pondered for a moment.

Then, he raised his hand and snapped his fingers, voluntarily dispelling Raven’s Possession State.

“Raven, explain.” Loren said calmly.

Raven, who suddenly appeared on Loren’s shoulder, was bewildered…

Huh???

Master! I was still watching the show!

Why did you call me out??!

After two seconds, Raven realized what was happening. It silently used its wing to cover its eyes with a touch of melancholy, and said with forced courage:

“In the animal kingdom, when the living environment becomes harsh, aggressive animals may choose to cease reproduction, reject mating with any of the opposite sex, and instead turn to doing dangerous and crazy things.”

Suddenly dragged out by Loren to take the bullet, Raven, after a moment of thought, used its perspective as a bird to help its idiot master quite euphemistically reject Daisy’s affection.

Bastard Loren!! Who makes their pet help them reject a girl’s confession?! You scumbag!

Daisy on the other side was also directly stunned upon hearing Raven’s words.

She recalled in her mind Loren’s birth environment and upbringing…

Daisy inexplicably felt that Raven’s words made a lot of sense!!

Upon hearing Raven’s words, Loren’s eye also twitched slightly.

Stupid bird… The Wisdom ability! What a waste on you!!

You can’t even come up with a decent excuse!!

Then, Loren raised his hand and snapped his fingers again, forcibly activating the Possession State and silently drawing Raven back into the depths of his soul.

Clearly, Raven was unreliable.

After taking a deep breath, Loren looked calmly at Daisy and spoke with complete seriousness:

“Lady Daisy, I like men.”

After saying this, Loren turned and walked away with an air of effortless cool…

Daisy Wendy clearly couldn’t believe what she had just heard.

“Ah??? You like men??!”

The deserted alley was left with only Daisy, alone and disheveled in the night breeze.

Daisy looked at Loren’s retreating back with disbelief, unsure of what to say…

As Loren’s figure gradually disappeared around the corner.

“Crack!”

She felt as if something in her heart had shattered…

“No!!!”

…

Daisy’s somewhat tragic yet sweet voice echoed for a long time in that deserted alley…

——————

Federal Calendar 7708, December 3rd, early morning.

After leaving that deserted alley, Loren used the Pure White Mask to disguise himself as a curly-haired young man with thick glasses.

With a completely calm expression, he walked towards the not-too-distant Jadeite Gambling City, which still glittered with lights even in the night…

“Master, isn’t it a bit bad to deceive Lady Daisy like that…”

Loren’s footsteps paused.

“She’s not my type…”

He recalled the scene when he saw Daisy tonight, that state reeking of alcohol…

Combined with her Seventh Ability, and the fact that she didn’t know he would return to the Jadeite Star Domain…

“Besides, someone like her should have a better life.”

“Forgetting me would be a good thing for her…”

At this moment, Raven offered a melancholic complaint in his mind:

“Bastard master! You even lie to me! Are you even human?!”

Instantly, a hint of awkwardness appeared on Loren’s face.

“Alright, I prefer more mature women…”

Clearly, Daisy’s…heart was still a bit too small.

After saying this, Loren inadvertently glanced at the Plastic White Flower pinned to his chest, then continued walking along the shadows by the street, heading into the darkness…

Exactly what Loren was thinking in his heart, perhaps only he himself knew.

Even Raven, who shared his memories, sometimes didn’t quite understand Loren’s thoughts…
