Chen Miemie got the job done, so naturally, everyone was happy.
He didn't mention where the mysterious artifact-grade bottle went, and Elder Jiang's family didn't ask.
As the great benefactor who saved the family's lives, Chen Miemie naturally couldn't avoid being kept for a meal.
Dr. Hua was not seen at the dining table; he had left at some unknown time.
Jiang Li, as the current manager of the Jiang family, was extremely enthusiastic towards Chen Miemie.
He knew Chen Miemie's background—the son of the Grand Witch.
Chen Miemie himself wasn't too clear about it, but the powerful figures in Sixiang City knew it very well.
From the Dean to his homeroom teacher, and now the Jiang family, they all understood the weight of a Grand Witch.
The Witches' Council was the supreme authority of the witch clan.
The Witches' Council only had seven seats. The seven seats managed different affairs and had no hierarchy. Only those who held a seat could be called a Grand Witch.
In other words, Chen Miaomiao was a supreme leader of the witch clan.
If Chen Miemie were a girl, he probably would have been taken to Witch City long ago. Unfortunately, he was a boy, so he was left to be raised freely in Sixiang City.
Due to his gender and race, Chen Miemie might not be able to inherit Chen Miaomiao's power in the witch clan, but anyone who dared to touch him would inevitably face the crazy revenge of a Grand Witch.
Frankly speaking, even the three-member council of Sixiang City couldn't withstand that kind of revenge.
Jiang Li was already enthusiastic enough, and Elder Jiang was also cheerful, but neither of them was the most enthusiastic.
The most enthusiastic one was Jiang Li's wife, who had just arrived home.
Her child and husband had just been saved by Chen Miemie!
This Madam Jiang, named Gui Yuan, was not human; she was the eldest daughter of the phantom clan.
At this moment, acting like a mother-in-law who had taken a liking to her son-in-law, she kept putting food into Chen Miemie's bowl.
"Miemie, eat more. Look at how thin your arms are. Come, have another piece of meat." Madam Jiang even reached out directly, giving Chen Miemie's arm two hard squeezes. "Miemie, you are so excellent. You should come over often to help our Jiang Gui with her studies. It's good to visit frequently."
The phantom clan was different from humans, or rather, other races were quite different from humans when it came to being subtle.
The other six races would say it directly if they liked something, and show it directly if they had a good impression, unlike humans who would hide it.
Gui Yuan had a lot of say in the Jiang family, which could be seen from her daughter Jiang Gui's name.
The reason she could marry far away into a different race and still be so assertive wasn't because of her in-laws' family background, but because she herself was strong enough.
Madam Jiang, Gui Yuan, was the strongest in the Jiang family, a super boss of Mystery Level 5.
The Jiang family had passed a resolution early on: Madam Jiang had the final say in their daughter Jiang Gui's marriage.
After chatting about family matters, they started talking about business.
"Little friend Chen, as promised before, all the porcelain of my Jiang family is yours. In addition, I will prepare a set of the best exam 'stationery' later and send it to your house tomorrow. I hope you can graduate successfully."
These had all been agreed upon previously, so Chen Miemie didn't decline. "Thank you, Elder Jiang. Please keep the porcelain at your house for a few days. I'll come pick it up after I graduate."
Facing the enthusiasm of Jiang Li and Madam Jiang, Chen Miemie also replied very directly:
"Uncle and Auntie, I understand what you mean, but everything has to wait until I pass the exam, right? I'll come bother you again after I successfully graduate."
Chen Miemie once again increased the "mother-in-law's" favorable impression, as she praised, "This child is so sensible."
Jiang Gui smiled the whole time, not stopping her mother at all, and it was unknown what she was thinking.
After dinner, a car sent Chen Miemie directly to the downstairs of his building.
Tonight, there was a yellow Eternal Moon in the sky.
Chen Miemie rushed upstairs impatiently and ran home.
'Xiao Hong, are you there? Make a sound if you are~'
'Xiao Shuang, are you there? Reply if you receive this.'
Today, neither Xiao Hong nor Xiao Shuang appeared.
Xiao Hong and Xiao Shuang, these two cheat codes, were his super support; absolutely nothing could go wrong with them.
No matter how Chen Miemie tossed and turned in his mind, the red and white text just didn't appear.
Finally, he lay on the sofa and started talking nonsense.
"Open the attribute panel. I said, open the panel!"
Yellow text appeared.
[Chen Miemie / Eternal Moon Mystery Level: ∞ Immortality: ∞, Abilities: Moonlight, Witch's Luck, Walking on Behalf of the Moon]
"Hmm? It turned into yellow text?"
Chen Miemie jumped up all at once.
"Are you Little Huang?"
No reaction.
"I said, are you Little Huang?"
[Are you Little Huang?]
He immediately realized it.
On the first night he crossed over, he had incarnated into the consciousness of a yellow moon.
He was the Eternal Moon. Tonight, the Eternal Moon was in the sky, and the yellow text represented the Eternal Moon speaking.
The yellow text wasn't his third cheat code, but his own words. His speaking was the Eternal Moon speaking!
The Eternal Moon is like me, and I am the Eternal Moon.
Xiao Hong was the Rainbow Moon, and Xiao Shuang was the Frost Moon. They also would only appear when they were in the sky.
"I remember the night Ash came to kill me, it was the Eternal Moon. Did I control the Eternal Moon's moonlight back then?"
Chen Miemie sat back on the sofa, ready to give it a try.
"The light in the room is too dim. Make it brighter."
Following his words, the moon above the roof brightened by more than a dozen degrees, and it kept getting brighter.
"Okay, okay, that's enough. It's too bright. Dim it a bit. Slowly. Yes, stop. It's perfect now."
Bobo and Qinghua silently watched Chen Miemie act crazy.
The two of them didn't dare to make a sound.
Tonight, Chen Miemie had an aura about him that made them want to kneel down and worship him.
Let alone making jokes, if Chen Miemie didn't speak to them, they wouldn't dare to speak first.
"Let me see what my good neighbor, Mr. Joker, is doing."
Chen Miemie's eyes immediately pierced through multiple walls and saw Joker in Room 1805 playing cards by himself at home.
"Playing alone? How boring. Come, Mr. Joker, come to my place. We'll play together."
As Chen Miemie's words fell.
Joker in Room 1805 had a blur in his vision and already appeared on the sofa in Room 1803.
"Th-this is?" Joker had never known that he could be forcibly teleported through space without his consent.
"Chen Miemie, what are you trying to..."
Joker couldn't finish his sentence.
He saw Chen Miemie's eyes.
Those were not human eyes; inside them was the Eternal Moon!
The left eyeball was a waxing half-moon, and the right eyeball was a waning half-moon.
In less than a hundredth of a second, Joker's mind was on the verge of collapse from looking directly at the Eternal Moon.
"Wake up." Chen Miemie's voice saved him.
Joker lowered his head, never daring to look into Chen Miemie's eyes again.
That was a great existence he would never forget for the rest of his life.
"I brought you here today because I want to test my abilities and use you as a sparring partner. Come on, attack me."
Joker was very decisive.
He directly pulled out a deck of playing cards, and dozens of cards shot towards Chen Miemie.
Under normal circumstances, an opponent facing this kind of scattering attack would either dodge, use Mystery to counterattack, or take it head-on.
Today's situation was clearly not normal.
The playing cards fell onto Chen Miemie and softly dropped down.
The playing cards, which should have been able to slice through iron like mud, silently turned into ordinary paper cards and fluttered down lightly.
"I can't hurt you," Joker let out a bitter smile.
What did he mean by "can't hurt you"?
When the gap in Mystery exceeds three major stages, the lower-tier individual's Mystery becomes completely ineffective. This is known as being utterly outclassed.
Before this, let alone three major stages, Joker had never even met a Mystic who was a single tier above him.
After all, he was a super big shot at Mystery Level 5.
In the entire Sixiang City, as far as he knew, there were no more than ten people at Mystery Level 5, and Level 6 simply did not exist.
During their last game, he had guessed that Chen Miemie was stronger than him, but he never imagined it would be this kind of surreal, dream-like strength.
"Forget it, this is boring. Clean up a bit, the room is a mess."
Chen Miemie waved his hand.
The playing cards scattered across the floor, as if experiencing a reversal of time, followed their previous trajectories and flew back into Joker's card box one by one.
Joker: What the hell!!! Coach, this move is sick, I want to learn it.
"Since you're here, I have a favor to ask."
"What is it?" Joker never knew his own voice could sound so submissive. He felt that if he interacted with Chen Miemie a few more times, his crazy, fearless persona was going to completely collapse.
"Help me gather information on the whereabouts of anomalies in and around Sixiang City."
"Understood."
"Mm, you can go back now."
Joker turned and walked toward the door.
He twisted the doorknob and stepped out.
To his shock, what lay beyond the door was not the eighteenth-floor hallway, but the interior of his own apartment, Room 1805.
Closing the door, he silently lit a cigarette.
"Toying with time, manipulating space, an entity that cannot be looked at directly. Chen Miemie, just what kind of existence are you?" Joker had completely lost all desire to play cards.
