After all, having known her for a while now, Gu Mo naturally gradually noticed the habits of this Monster Maiden.

She likes to be active at night and sleeps during the day, primarily from dusk till midnight, sleeping for as much as twelve hours a day. So, you could say she doesn’t really do anything outside of those hours... Of course, based on his observations, it seems more like a preference than a restriction.

Much like humans are accustomed to working at dawn and resting at dusk, but they can also stay up late when needed, or even pull an all-nighter if necessary...

It’s merely a matter of whether one wants or needs to.

Besides that, there’s another trait that seems to be determined by her species, and that’s that she claims to hibernate in the winter and awaken in the spring. During this period, she practically doesn’t lift a finger, leaving all tasks to her Shikigami, which means Miss Fox Demon Yakumo Lan takes care of everything on her behalf—

Though that’s what she says, in reality, it seems she’s usually like that anyway, handing everything over to Lan while she remains largely inactive, exuding a sense of laziness... If you look at it this way, there doesn’t appear to be much of a difference.

It’s just that in winter, her presence is scarcely seen, and encounters become even rarer. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

And although she should awaken in spring, this Demon didn’t reappear until summer this year, naturally sparking Gu Mo’s curiosity.

"Hmm! Yes, that’s right, I did oversleep a bit this time..."

The smile on her face was slightly forced. Yakumo Zi’s beautiful face was hidden behind a fan, her eyes drifting somewhat evasively.

She tended to oversleep during her hibernation, often realizing it’s already springtime outside when she finally wakes up... Actually, according to Lan, it had already been spring about ten days earlier, but each time she dozed off and forgot, waking up only to be amazed.

——And this time was no exception...

——After waking up, she still felt drowsy, so she took another little nap.

It really was just a little nap; this wasn’t just an excuse. But because of the timeless nature of her kind, she inadvertently slept through the entire spring, awakening only in midsummer, feeling thoroughly refreshed and full of Spirit, prompting her to visit then.

However.

Opening a gap, crossing through space.

Arriving at a once-familiar place, only to find that everything had vanished in front of a sea of trees; even the familiar houses were completely gone...

At the time, Yakumo Zi was somewhat dazed, almost believing she had overslept like a regular person who planned to nap briefly but ended up sleeping all the way to the next day... Just how long had she slept, and how many years had passed in the outside world?

If it hadn’t been for the relatively unchanged village at the foot of the mountain and the two Gods conversing by the lake, she might have truly believed that was the case.

It wasn’t until after asking around that she found out someone had just happened to travel far away...

Unluckily, had she woken up a day earlier, she might have caught up with them.

Although it wasn’t a big problem, as long as she could accurately locate the Magic Ship, she could traverse through the gap to wherever it might be, stepping into any corner of the world.

As the Monster Maiden explained and sat down beside her, Miss Shenqi wrinkled her cute nose slightly but said nothing.

After all, so much time had passed, making them somewhat familiar with each other, enough to exchange a few words as acquaintances.

However, familiarity aside, if one must get angry, then they must get angry—

Seeing the other wearing such a beautiful dress, the silver-haired girl inexplicably felt displeased. Why did this Demon have such clothing too... She couldn’t precisely tell why, but she knew she was not fond of it.

Dissatisfied, she glared at the young man across from her, before turning around to lean against the porthole, staring out at the view without blinking.

Peeking at the tiny actions of the silver-haired, silver-eyed girl sitting further inside, Yakumo Zi also blinked, saying nothing.

"Traveling like this is certainly interesting... except for being too conspicuous."

The Monster Maiden pulled back her gaze, turned around, and continued to scrutinize this Magic Ship, as well as the scenery outside, appearing very intrigued.

"But where are you planning to go? You didn’t mention any plans to travel before, leaving so hastily, is there something urgent?"

"Oh, there’s no specific destination, just planning to wander around since I’m not too familiar with this world... Right now, I’m free, planning to explore first." Gu Mo picked up an egg tart, examining the craftsmanship of the dolls, finding parts slightly burnt, he couldn’t help but shake his head.

"Not too familiar with this world...?"

The Monster Maiden across from him pondered slightly, but didn’t doubt anything. Instead, she intuitively made deductions based on her thinking.

She occasionally heard that he was just a Clone walking on the ground... which seemed reasonable. She felt there was something slightly uncoordinated in this man’s aura, exuding an aura neither alive nor dead, which could also explain why someone from the Moon would appear carelessly on Earth.
