Pet Simulator

The air was quiet.

Only the rustling sounds of the surrounding branches being blown by the wind could be heard.

At this moment, Ming Zhu's expression was very strange. It was a mixture of stun, shock, confusion, and even a hint of... excitement?

Wang Ye looked at her quietly.

The white python at the side scratched its head with its tail, somewhat confused.

Suddenly, it opened its mouth, and Xiao Jiu flew out as a ray of light.

"Chirp, chirp!" Xiao Jiu flapped its wings and cried at Ming Zhu with hostility.

"To be honest, I've always had a question," Ming Zhu didn't seem to have any intention of answering Wang Ye directly.

Instead, she looked at Xiao Jiu with interest, "This little fellow has been hostile towards me ever since we met. Why is that? Although I didn't come to my senses after your absurd explanation at that time, I know that such hostility is abnormal. Xiao Bai, do I have a face that is a nuisance to pets? It shouldn't be that bad that this is the result after our first encounter, right?"

The white moon fox by the side whimpered and wagged her tail.

Wang Ye did not answer. Instead, he extended his arm. Xiao Jiu hovered for a while before landing on his arm. It folded its wings and looked up at Ming Zhu with its chest puffed out, looking very aggressive.

Seeing this, Ming Zhu spread her hands and said, "I see you do know a lot of things. Where did you learn About the Dark Fog Cult and Ming Tianxu from? It seems that your Deep Memory must have awakened, huh?"

Wang Ye remained silent.

"In that case..." Ming Zhu still wore a charming smile, her voice sweet, "I wanted to pretend to be an ordinary person... Well, to get along with you as Miss Ming. I didn't expect to be met with suspicion and prejudice. Since that's the case, I won't pretend anymore. That's right, I'm the Dark Fog Cult's fog inductor, and I'm also... Ming Tianxu's descendant, Ming Zhu."

"..." Wang Ye.

"You have two choices now," Ming Zhu continued to twirl her fingers, "One is to join us, and two, be killed by us. After all, even if a genius like you can't join the Dark Fog Cult, we can't give you to Dongli."

As she spoke, her voice seemed to be adjusted by a tuner as it quickly changed from sweet and pleasant to cold and chilly.

The smile on her face seemed to be covered by a layer of ice. Her eyebrows were raised slightly and her aura instantly soared. In an instant, she changed from looking like a rich lady to a cold and heartless supervillain!

The air froze again.

Wang Ye frowned slightly.

Suddenly, Ming Zhu burst into laughter. Her smile was like a flower as she winked, "How is it? The villain image that I displayed just now has qualified, no?"

"..." Wang Ye.

"There aren't any villains or good guys," Wang Ye said calmly, "We're just standing on different sides. You used me, but I gained a lot through you as well."

"Hmph," Ming Zhu's eyes suddenly became calm.

It was as if whatever changes that had happened just now were just an illusion. At this moment, she looked more like a normal beastmaster.

"To be honest, when you came here, I never thought that you would say something like this," Ming Zhu turned to look at the lake in the distance, "Because I never thought that you would learn of all this. Besides, I won't expose my identity. After I save you, I'll just use Mingguang Enterprise's connections to help you settle the Qixing Investigation Corps."

"After all, you're a peerless genius of Xinghai Province, and the people in the professions department value you. The resurrected divine sword only needs to be restrained. When the time comes, the Mingguang enterprise will reveal our identity as the descendant of the divine sword's original beastmaster, and we'll naturally be able to obtain it. You would still be Dongli's peerless genius, shining with boundless radiance..."

"However, I didn't expect..." Speaking up to this point, Ming Zhu's gaze was strange, "To think you know about the Dark Fog Cult. You even know about Ming Tianxu while I only knew because of my ancestor's diary. On top of that, you even know about the Dark Fog Cult as well. You're truly amazing."

Hearing these words, Wang Ye thought to himself, "To think she had thought of such a backup plan."

Even if senior Xiao Tao didn't fall into their hands through the Ancient Sword Relic, to think they had other follow-up arrangements as well.

"Do tell me, I want to hear how much you know," Ming Zhu gently waved her hand and then gracefully sat down.

As she sat, the space slightly fluctuated, and a floating chair appeared behind her.

Her graceful figure was slightly revealed in her light purple dress.

"I don't want to talk about it," Wang Ye said.

"..." Ming Zhu.

"Hey, hey, hey, what do you mean?" Ming Zhu slammed her hand on the floating chair and said angrily, "You just casually poked through my identity, but you don't want to say anything? Don't tell me that you were just guessing?"

"Awoo!" The white moon fox jumped onto the floating chair like a cat and snickered.

"Why should I say anything?" Wang Ye said, "Why don't you talk instead?"

Ming Zhu thought for a while and nodded, "That makes sense. How about this, after you finish, I can tell you something too? Lets' reciprocate each other. This should be alright for you, right?"

Seeing this, Wang Ye thought for a few seconds and said, "I don't know much. I started suspecting you probably after I entered the Ancient Sword Relic and discovered the remains of the senior divine sword."

Theoretically speaking, he had discovered such a truth in the simulation.

In the beginning, Wang Ye had never suspected Ming Zhu.

This was because, in the initial simulation, he had spent several decades with her. They became husband and wife, and in the end, they even had a child together.

In the end, he had been killed by a mysterious organization then. But now that he thought about it, that organization should be the Dark Fog Cult, huh?
