"Damn it, whoever wants to be an investigator can go ahead!"

Teresa was very angry.

She felt she had been on the brink of fury ever since she met someone.

The problem was that the rhythm the person controlled was very well done.

They jumped back and forth on the brink of her rationality breaking down, all the while cheekily shouting "Hit me" and "Hit me"...

No, just thinking about it makes her get worked up.

When did she start becoming so miserable?

Oh.

I remembered.

It was when she, the unluckiest of them all, discovered that man's secret.

Heaven sees, the "Fragrance" talent is indeed incredibly useful.

But for Teresa, it was undoubtedly a torment from hell.

Every day she fretted over knowing so many things she shouldn't know.

For example, attending a royal party when she was young, at the time she was unaware of the terror of "Fragrance", directly pointing at the Duchess and the court painter saying:

"Mom and Dad, why does the court painter have the smell of the Duchess on him?"

The careless words of a child usually don't attract much attention.

The premise is that it's not at a party.

After the party concluded, without a doubt, she was dragged home by her parents to be soundly punished.

Of course, if that was all, it wouldn't have left such a deep impression.

But not long after, she heard the news of the Duchess being caught having an affair by the Duke.

Heaven sees, Teresa expressed that she absolutely didn't do it on purpose.

Just afterward, her parents, realizing something, quickly noticed changes in their daughter.

Once confirmed, they finally obtained a sure message.

Which was that their precious daughter seemed to have a method to directly read legendary information.

At that time, their family was truly shocked.

Honestly, any talent that can observe or summon information holds immense development potential.

But she really knew too much secret information.

Knowing too much dark history can really potentially get you killed.

Teresa knew this even when she was very young.

Even though Teresa's family was extremely well-off, ranking among the great nobility within the empire.

Moreover, the family never strayed from the upper echelons, always wielding power and authority, and had talents throughout generations.

But even such a family couldn't ensure the outcome after Teresa's talent was exposed.

So afterward Teresa was long entrusted to Heisha.

No choice.

Although Aunt Heisha mostly remained detached and unmanageable, in the whole of the Stars, she belonged to those with tremendous backup.

As a top-tier healer, she was someone who even conventional legends and demigods, or even saints, needed to take seriously.

Teresa had many Extraordinary Universities to choose from, some of which had reputations no less than those of Ethereal Emblem.

Yet ultimately, Teresa chose to join Ethereal Emblem because Heisha was there too.

Originally she thought she could have an entirely new life at the new university.

But unexpectedly, she had barely stayed there for a year when she encountered a man akin to a nightmare to her.

Initially upon seeing Chloe, she was very surprised.

She rarely saw a boy with such a clean scent.

The sky was raining then, Teresa saw a boy holding an umbrella, shielding kittens in a box from the rain.

The scene indeed looked quite picturesque...

The premise was to ignore those surrounding glances.

Damn it.

Did that boy have some causality talent?

Why did standing there attract so many people's attention?

Unfortunately.

Back then, Teresa had yet to know about an even more outrageous existence in another world, a man who conquered the universe by jumping high.

But all in all, back then, Teresa still developed some fondness.

However, barely a few days after seeing him again, her mindset completely collapsed.

How many times exactly did you do it with other women to smell like this?

Fine.

Anyway, I'm not dating you, what you do with other women has nothing to do with me.

Teresa felt a bit disheartened, but quickly settled her emotions.

It's not as if she needed a man.

Who needs a leading lady?

Yet later, the more she looked, the more wrong it seemed.

Not buddy, I previously thought you were decent because your scent was clean.

Now what's going on with you?

Your whole body is covered in various women's scents.

Don't tell me you're just friends with them.

Friend-with-benefits sounds more like it!

Chaos!

Too chaotic!

This world is simply too filthy, destroy it, I'm tired.

Do you understand the feeling of walking into some secretive spot and vaguely sensing traces left by him and those girls here?

Once or twice is one thing.

Once she even discovered such a scent left on the sofa in Amber Hall's lobby.

No need to look, she knew that was definitely a water stain. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Tsk!

Very improper fellow.

It could be said that at that time, Teresa's impression of him had hit rock bottom.

Yet, Aunt Heisha told her:

"Look beyond the surface to see the essence, you should stop worrying about how messy his life is but rather consider why so many people are on his side?

Don't forget, those willing to follow him aren't only girls, but a greater number of boys as well."

At that time, she started taking over part of the Night Thorn's work.

Though she felt somewhat uncomfortable, she chose to accept Chloe's invitation.

After spending time with him, Teresa had to admit he was an extremely excellent man deserving other women's affection.

To insist he had any major problems, perhaps...

Uh, he didn't really know how to refuse.

Or rather.

Excluding specific individuals he was familiar with, he was quite good at rejecting.

Yet then, Teresa could still maintain her pride.

After all, being one step ahead doesn't necessarily mean always being ahead.

Though hope dwindled more and more, Teresa still believed she could catch up to this man's footsteps in her lifetime.

Until the Abyss of Woe expedition shattered Teresa's pride into pieces.

No kidding.

During that period, she truly felt her previous understanding of Extraordinary Professions was completely trampled underfoot by those people.

Enough.

Screw it!

Standing down!

Let it be!

Anyway, I'm not coming!

Teresa's temper flared.

That day, she took time to visit her still recovering aunt.

Aunt's mental state was still fine, the resources sent by a certain worthless man had healed her injuries well.

Maybe noticing Teresa's somewhat dejected state, Heisha said strangely:

"You have taken over Night Thorn now, why are you still putting on the look of a big wrong victim?"

"Ah? No, I'm not."

Teresa instinctively refuted.

Heisha seemed to think of a certain expression, looked at her subtlely for a moment, then said:

"Unadmitted crushes are tough, aren't they?"

"Auntie, what are you talking about? I don't understand you."

"Do you truly not understand, or are you pretending not to understand?"

"Truly don't understand!"

"Then if I told you, Chloe is right behind you now?"

Teresa was shocked and hurriedly turned her head.

She couldn't see even the shadow of Chloe.

With a sigh, she said: "Auntie, stop messing with me."

"Mess with you about what?"

"You know very well, it's impossible between him and me, too far-fetched, despite putting in so much effort, I don't even have the chance to get close, instead, I am left further behind by him..."

"Who is he?"

"Who else could it be? Chloe!"

Wait.

Why did Auntie's voice turn into a man's voice?

She looked up sharply.

Heisha's smile was subtle.

When she regained her senses and looked around.

Damn, how did this jerk get here?

Just having finished a battle, now resting back in the Stars, Chloe widened his eyes innocently at Teresa and said:

"Young Lady, when did you start craving my body?"

Teresa: ...

What to do, she really wants to escape this universe.
