Chapter 2880: Chapter 2875: Mothers Calling for Their Children

Jenny’s tavern had an exceptionally good turnover today.

Though, when she handed the drink to Yibu, it was still evident that she was a bit nervous.

That’s completely understandable, once a mark is made, it’s not so easy to erase.

Moreover, her behavior all along could easily be seen as walking a fine line.

In comparison, others seemed relatively okay.

Faced with the sudden visit of the King of the Islands, and with another person beside him whom he even had to invite for a drink, the patrons were silent for less than half a minute before the nightlife became lively again, and hardly anyone left.

Is this the sense of security that rules provide?

Even with remarkable figures sitting there, so long as one recalls they did nothing against the rules, they continue to enjoy their drinks heartily.

"This is my first time coming to this place."

Yet the notable figure seemed a bit out of sorts, sitting next to Fu Qian at the bar. After taking a small sip, Yibu set his glass down.

Though bravely seeking out the place, the previous experiences were indeed bizarre, rendering him momentarily speechless, eventually only voicing a sigh.

"Then I can only say your luck isn’t too great,"

Fu Qian responded with practiced familiarity, immediately suggesting that the old man missed out on life’s pleasures.

"If you’d come earlier today, Jenny was dressed even prettier than now."

...

This involves me?

At that moment, it was clear to see, Jenny almost dropped the muddler in her hand.

She wished nothing more than to hide her head in her belly, who would have thought this guy would drag her into the conversation out of the blue.

But theoretically, this could be considered a compliment, making it even harder to know how to respond.

"Indeed regrettable... I had some matters earlier,"

Fortunately, Lord Yibu just glanced at her and casually came up with a perfunctory excuse.

"Rest assured, it’s all over."

Of course, that was just the superficial explanation, for the expert eyes, Lord Yibu was already quite forthright, after a few pleasantries, he directly brought up the previous commotion.

As a demigod, his understanding of the events in the dream was evidently beyond Jenny’s.

Master, law, full moon... various heavy elements floated to the surface, some emotional suppression was normal.

Meanwhile, Fu Qian not only understood well but responded with astonishing brevity.

"...it’s all over?"

Unable to hold back, Yibu finally turned his head to look, unable to hide his amazement.

"It’s all over."

Fu Qian nodded in affirmation, finishing off the drink the other had offered.

"I must now take my leave, wishing the islands’ competition to run increasingly well."

It’s definitely not a random statement, as an academic leader with numerous responsibilities, managing to have a vacation like this is already quite fortunate.

The Archipelago is delightful, but there’s no time for drunkenness.

As for not planning to casually deal with Yibu, why not just leave earlier?

Don’t forget this operation bears the identity of an Academy Professor; it’s only proper to liaise with the local person in charge a bit.

The organization’s image is quite important.

"Thank you so much... I’ll handle the aftermath, you’re welcome to watch the competition anytime — along with other Academy members."

That Fu Qian even remembered the competition in preparation left Yibu with mixed feelings.

But after staring for a moment, he chose to trust the other’s words, offering sincere gratitude.

It seemed that even after experiencing the previous crisis, he still wasn’t prepared to leave just yet.

"Didn’t I already thank you?"

To Fu Qian, all this seemed trivial, he gestured to the empty glass, then casually tossed it to Jenny.

As the latter frantically caught it, he was already standing up.

And just as he stepped out of the tavern, he vanished entirely, as if dissolving into the night outside.

...

Can such a thing happen?

It was truly an impressive scene, undoubtedly leaving a deep impression on both Lord Yibu and Jenny.

And from the Academy, Professor Fu’s perception would become even more unfathomable.

The only issue is that it wasn’t Fu Qian deliberately taking off a mask to create an effect.

Even in Fu Qian’s vision, what they saw was different.

Not a moonless night but rather everything shrouded in crimson moonlight.

Yes, opening the door to see a half-step moon.

The same scene that had appeared back on Ye Island.

The recently quiet Red Moon suddenly extended an invitation.

Although he was somewhat surprised at the moment of opening the door, Fu Qian immediately understood.

Causing such a commotion earlier, involving Divine Dream and Dark Moon, all linked to the Moon History Record.

So long as the Red Moon has some strength to focus on him, a sensitive response is quite normal.

Especially if the Red Moon is indeed Tilani, the peculiarities of this place might even stem from Him, increasing the probability of casting a gaze.

The only issue perhaps being that the timing of his activating the Burial Scroll was somewhat untimely, actually not sensing the gaze.

In any case, Fu Qian understood, and maintained the image of the Academy’s research staff well, stepping inside without hesitation.

The effect was as consistently stable as ever, with the next moment showing the long-missed half-step moon before his eyes.

Since transforming into a fully resetting mechanism, the Homeward effect on the ring hadn’t worked so well; it indeed had been some time since his last arrival here.

"Child..."

Even the joy of long absence held a surprise, with a familiar call almost immediately coming from behind.

...

The voice of the Red Moon.

To Fu Qian, this was quite easy to confirm.

And it sounded like good news, considering last time she was silent, now her mental state has improved?

Indeed, occasionally drinking tea is beneficial for one’s health.

Recalling the sudden visit to Shangjing that almost turned Chief Yuan into an idiot crisis, Fu Qian shook his head.

Having just drunk tea for a few days, and already revitalized so much?

Not merely opening the door unexpectedly, dragging him back home, this "mother" even hid behind the door, prepared a special surprise—

Smacking his lips, Fu Qian turned around, examining the familiar silhouette at arm’s length.

Clinging red dress, bare feet... the classic image of the Red Moon.

And most striking of all was that face.

No longer infringing Chief Yuan’s portrait rights, nor pulling a shocker with yet another First Generation Dark Moon face.

The finally clear facial features formed a woman’s face with immense affinity, and Fu Qian was certain he hadn’t seen her before.

Her long hair nearly the same color as her dress, part draped behind, another part simply tied at the left shoulder, the classic style.

Yet even with such non-aggressiveness, that face was so elegant and graceful, it still carried a thrill—

"Child..."

"Child..."

"Child..."

...

Beyond the shoulder of the figure before him, more gentle calls continued coming forth.

Dozens upon hundreds, each gaze full of affection.
