"What are you doing?"

Caelan frowned as he looked at the Mirror Image beside him, while withdrawing his hand.

The situation was getting a little out of control, and Caelan did not want to completely infuriate Evelyn.

Seeing him pull his arm back, however, the Mirror Image revealed a charming smile.

"Lord Caelan, what else could I be doing? I merely wanted you to feel my warmth."

"After all, you know it too. I like you very much. And don’t you like me as well?"

After saying this, the Mirror Image deliberately looked at Evelyn’s face. At the same time, the corners of her lips rose slightly, revealing the smile of a victor.

"I won’t disturb the two of you flirting with each other."

After Evelyn said this, she turned around and prepared to leave.

After all, to her, what the Mirror Image was doing right now was basically rubbing affection in a single person’s face.

Most importantly, the male lead in this little scene was the person she had secretly liked all along!

However, just as she was about to leave, the Mirror Image’s seductive voice rang in her ears once again.

"My dear original, can you really bear to watch the person you love flirt with me here?"

"With that narrow little mind of yours, don’t think I don’t know what you’re like. I understand you far too well. To be precise, I’m another you, aren’t I?"

"So, do you think that after you leave, you’ll be able to accept me and Lord Caelan kissing?"

Evelyn froze completely in place. She was only a tiny bit away from having her defenses utterly shattered.

She had to admit, the Mirror Image understood her far too well.

No matter what, she absolutely could not just stand by and watch Caelan and the Mirror Image do something so disgusting.

"Can’t you have a little shame? As a girl, do you not even have the most basic sense of restraint?"

When the Mirror Image saw Evelyn get angry, not only did she not become angry as well, her cheeks instead filled with an excited smile.

"Oh my, my adorable original, don’t be so angry!"

"I’m merely describing something that might happen. No way, no way—you can’t already be unable to handle it, right?"

Faced with the Mirror Image’s constant mockery, Caelan, standing off to the side, couldn’t help rubbing his forehead.

This Mirror Image really was troublesome.

I still have to find a way as soon as possible to dig all the secrets out of her.

On the other side, Evelyn now felt as though her lungs were about to explode from anger.

She instinctively looked in Caelan’s direction. However, Caelan’s expression caused a trace of surprise to flash across her face.

Wait.

Lord Caelan’s eyes seemed to have been incomparably clear from beginning to end. There was not the slightest hint of greed in them.

So... could it be that he really was doing this to obtain information?

Forget it. No matter what, I absolutely cannot let the Mirror Image and Lord Caelan stay alone together.

Just as Evelyn made up her mind, the Mirror Image beside them continued speaking with a smug expression.

"My dear original, don’t forget one thing. My personality is the complete opposite of yours. The more proper and serious you act, the more wanton I will behave..."

"Enough! I’ll stay here. I’ll watch the two of you. I’d like to see whether either of you still has even a shred of shame!"

After Evelyn said this, she directly stood beside Caelan in a huff and grabbed his other arm.

This move from Evelyn once again exceeded Caelan’s expectations.

No, wait.

If Evelyn was still present, then how was he supposed to make his move?

If he couldn’t make the Mirror Image obedient and submissive, how was he supposed to dig out those secrets and truths?

This was troublesome!

Caelan swallowed with some difficulty. By contrast, the Mirror Image beside him did not care at all whether Evelyn was present or not.

"Lord Caelan, come on a date with me first! I still haven’t experienced what it feels like to go on a date with you!"

"As long as you protect me properly and love me properly, I’ll tell you anything you want to know."

Caelan rubbed his nose and said with a hint of awkwardness,

"I-It should be fine."

"Then great! Come with me!"

...

The human capital, the underground city.

The underground city located within the capital was also the most prosperous region of the entire human race.

A large number of small vendors and giant chambers of commerce had opened shops here.

Whether it was clothing, food, housing, transportation, dining, drinking, or entertainment, one could enjoy things beyond imagination in the underground city.

Just one snack street here had gathered all the specialty snacks of the myriad races. The number of shops alone exceeded twenty thousand!

Apart from that, there was also an auction house here, specially used to auction off all kinds of strange and unusual items.

"Come take a look! Fresh, piping-hot Melina roast meat buns! A specialty snack from the Void Frontier! Don’t miss out if you’re passing by!"

"An ancestral dragon-scale armor! Don’t miss it if you’re passing by! My grandfather killed a giant dragon back in the day to obtain this armor! Absolutely worth every coin!"

"Everything must go! Cheap clearance sale! All kinds of material mystery boxes—if you pull something good, you profit immediately!"

...

On the bustling commercial street, a large number of small vendors constantly shouted to sell their goods.

At this moment, however, their eyes suddenly lit up.

Because within the crowd, they discovered a pair of beautiful young lovers.

This couple seemed to have an extremely good relationship. The girl was leaning against the boy’s embrace the entire time.

Of course, that was not the main point.

The main point was that on the boy’s other arm, there was another girl holding onto him!

No, brother, isn’t this a little too much?

Although I admit you’re more than a little handsome, you still can’t two-time like this, right?!

While these vendors were feeling envy, jealousy, and resentment, they also noticed the equipment and accessories worn by Caelan and Evelyn.

Naturally, there was no need to say much about the eyesight of these vendors. With just a single glance, they could tell that Caelan and Evelyn’s identities were definitely not simple.

They were probably direct descendants of some great family, and they were absolutely awakeners!

Otherwise, there was no way they would dare to wear accessories worth several million gold coins.

"Wait. Don’t you guys think that man looks a little familiar?"

"Now that you mention it, he really does look familiar. It feels like I’ve seen him somewhere before..."

"I figured it out. This kid is a member of the Ironclad Legion. No wonder he’s so rich!"

"And that girl is clearly a member of the Supreme Warband! So members of these two warbands are allowed to date each other?"

"I don’t know. This is my first time seeing something like this too. But... don’t the relationship between those three feel a little off?"

"Brother, all I can say is that you’re still too poor. You’ve never seen the luxurious lives of the upper class. This is nothing. He only brought two girls with him. That’s already very normal, okay?"

"No, look carefully! Those two girls are clearly twins!"

"Twins!? This kid is kind of amazing!"
