Lu Mingming stopped chewing, a bad feeling suddenly rising in her heart.
This was an instinct honed from previous experiences.
She quickly shared the snacks in her hand, trying to plug the other person's mouth: "I think these plums are delicious, would you like to try one?"
"Since older sister says they're delicious, they must be."
Yi Fu, without hesitation, reached out his "claws" towards the snacks in Lu Mingming's hand. His eyes, however, were fixed on Lu Mingming, and as he slowly sucked on the plum, he licked off the sugar coating.
Those small, wolf-cub-like eyes never moved from Lu Mingming, causing goosebumps to erupt on her skin. A jolt of electricity coursed through her limbs, giving her the illusion of being devoured by a wolf.
"They are indeed delicious."
Yi Fu tore off a paper napkin, spat out the small pit, and in his speech, all the intense aggression on his body seemed to dissipate, returning to the friendliness of a large Golden Retriever.

Was that just an illusion, or have I been thinking too much lately...
Lu Mingming withdrew her hand and numbly continued eating the snack in her mouth.
However, the next moment, Yi Fu's voice reached her ears again, drawing her attention.
"Sister hasn't answered my question. Among us, who does sister like the most?"
Yi Fu leaned closer, his lips clearly turned downwards, and his pure eyes revealed a pitiable expression, as if he were reflecting on why he wasn't pleasing his master.
"I've been here the least amount of time, so I'm certainly not as close to you as the older brothers who spend more time with you. But I'm trying to get closer to you. Sister, you can't just leave me alone and behind."
After speaking, his eyes blinked.
"Besides, they're so capable, they surely don't have much extra time to accompany sister, right? But I'm different; I have plenty of free time and can go out and play with sister."
Lu Mingming vaguely smelled a fresh tea fragrance.
It really was like someone whose filling was matcha-flavored when cut open.
The Star Chief received the news early and deliberately disguised his attire as he waited at the entrance of the Royal Academy.
Beside him were the old dean and Cheng Shiqin, who had already assumed the position of vice-dean.
"What important figure is arriving today that requires the Star Chief himself to personally welcome them?"
"I do have some information, but I can't guarantee its accuracy."
Madam Salche chuckled, her eyes anticipating the approaching aircraft in the distance.
The aircraft slowly landed within a safe zone. Yi Fu meticulously helped Lu Mingming put on a series of safety equipment.
He was the first to disembark, surveying the surroundings to ensure safety before extending his hand to invite Lu Mingming, adopting the demeanor of a little bodyguard.
If not for his deliberate playful glances around and his imitation of dramatic poses from television, Lu Mingming might have been more convinced of his safety check.
"Reporting, sister, there is no danger ahead. You may proceed."
"You rascal, messing around at a time like this."

Lu Mingming laughed and scolded, then turned her gaze towards the academy entrance—
There stood three familiar figures.
Lu Mingming extended her arm and waved at the three of them, cupping her hands around her mouth and amplifying her voice: "Long time no see!"
"Did I hear that right? That's Mingming's voice. Wasn't she missing?"
The burly Cheng Shiqin couldn't believe his eyes. He repeatedly rubbed his eyelids, finally settling his gaze on Lu Mingming and rushing towards her excitedly.
"Good heavens, why didn't you say anything about coming back? We have no news of you at all now. I thought you were really kidnapped by that cursed Count and held for a long time!"
"Not quite."
As Lu Mingming was about to greet them, the other three had already offered a bow.
"What's wrong?"
Lu Mingming was a bit dazed.

The Star Chief smiled broadly: "We received a notice from above. It's said that an inspector from the Interstellar Alliance is arriving. We are a low-ranking force, so this is the least we could do."
"No need for such superficial gestures. We'll just put on a bit of a show."
Lu Mingming quickly added, and the atmosphere immediately relaxed considerably.
"You don't know the academy. Since you left, the children in Class A have missed you so much and talked about you every day."
Cheng Shiqin grumbled playfully, making Lu Mingming laugh.
"Let's get to the point. Is there something you need us to arrange?"
Madam Salche asked with curiosity.
Lu Mingming's expression turned serious.
"It's best to transfer the surrounding young cubs to a safe place as soon as possible. In the near future, there will be a major war originating from the main planet, and the culprit behind all of this might escape to the academy."
Madam Salche and the Star Chief's expressions changed in unison.

"I'll go arrange this matter immediately!"
The Star Chief was the first to express his stance.
Yi Fu leaned his head over and whispered into Lu Mingming's ear: "Sister didn't mention this matter at the meeting. Oh dear, keeping this from me makes me even more worried about your safety."
His voice was aggrieved, and his breath tickled her neck, sending a tingling sensation.
"If I had told them, they wouldn't have agreed to let me come. Being here, I can at least help out a little."
Lu Mingming placed her index finger on her soft lips, signaling Yi Fu to keep it confidential.
Yi Fu's face was serious: "Then you must take me with you. I can't just watch sister fall into danger."
Children are so clingy. Lu Mingming couldn't help but finally agree to his request.
"Could you please tell us in which direction?"
Madam Salche interrupted Lu Mingming and Yi Fu's conversation.

"Follow me."
Lu Mingming definitely remembered this. All the memories she had seen in the water mirror were deeply imprinted in her mind, without the slightest error.
The group followed Lu Mingming, heading down a desolate path within the academy.
Along the way, there were only withered branches and fallen leaves, eventually stopping at a small, secluded grove. The area was sparsely populated, with only some dilapidated benches remaining.
"Let's set up the capture formation right here."
Lu Mingming surveyed the surroundings and confirmed the location.
