After replacing all the skill books with the ones I had just finished reading, I turned around to find Aliyah still busy comparing the goods behind me. She seemed undecided on which items to take.
"Aliyah, hurry up! We don't have time to be indecisive. Just take what seems important," I urged.
"That's exactly why I don't know which one to choose..."
"Choose something that won't be easily detected! Otherwise, our infiltration earlier would have been wasted!"
"Stop nagging, I'll be done soon."
Seeing that she would need more time, I looked up and noticed that the people had already started descending. The situation was urgent, so I had already informed everyone on the rooftop of our situation.
After understanding our predicament, Shenluo said he understood and suggested grabbing a few valuable items. But...
I only had one preset bomb left. We were running out of time!
"Hurry, ten more seconds and those people will be down here!"
"Okay, okay, almost done..."
Just as the other party was about to open the basement door, I reached out and grabbed Aliyah's shoulder, then teleported back to the roof in an instant.
"Hey, what are you doing? I was almost done!" she exclaimed.
She was still holding a golden plate and a golden dagger, seemingly indecisive. I took them from her and hurriedly stuffed them into the ring.
"It's a miracle you weren't caught earlier. Those people are about to enter!"
I let go of Aliyah's shoulder and helplessly said, "Is that so? Well, I forgive you then."
"Hmph..."
She still couldn't communicate properly.
"Never mind, let's find another place quickly. The most important thing now is to deal with what we've obtained."
"Yeah, let's hurry!" Shenluo next to us was also anxious.
"I have another assassination mission to catch. Time is money!" he added.
Hey, isn't a person's life too cheap for you to be so anxious?
"Then let's go!"

"Why did you take that? It's practically useless," Shenluo threw a painting aside and picked up a gold-edged box.
"What's this... they actually put magic crystal carvings inside. Are these people crazy? Why use magic crystals for carvings? Couldn't they use other valuable metals?" he exclaimed.
"You're so annoying! Take it or leave it! I think the carvings are good! They can be used as disguises."
"With such poor taste, how are you even a thief?"
"What, do you want to fight one-on-one?"
"..."
As I watched them argue, I slowly opened each skill book one by one, learning their contents by clicking the study button. After finishing one book, I set it aside and moved on to the next.
These skill books are really amazing. I've never seen anything like immortal cultivation, Yin-Yang arts, and mystic martial arts. I learned them all at once, even though I didn't fully understand their meanings. But they seemed powerful.
Anyway, the key points of what I learned were summarized in the skill descriptions, so I just tossed the finished books aside. After reading dozens of books, I realized that Aliyah and Shenluo were still arguing. I shook my head helplessly.
The others haven't come back yet, probably taking their time and enjoying the mission to the fullest.
There's no point in me staying here, so I turned to them and said, "I'm going out to buy late-night snacks, let's go Oyado, Pure White."
"Okay~ let's have late-night snacks with big brother (master)~" they both cheerfully replied.
Huh? When did these two become so familiar with each other?
Oh well, that's a good thing anyway.
-----------------------------Seamless Transition---------------------------
After a while, the three of us appeared on the street.
I had changed back into my usual robes, as I didn't want any Onmyoji to come out and challenge me again.
Of course, I also made Pure White wear gloves and cover up the mark of that Shikigami, otherwise, I think there would be misunderstandings again.
After all, we all know that when you're on a mission, if you accidentally trigger another mission, it can lead to really annoying consequences, and those consequences are not just ordinary bad.
Missions are one thing, but irreversible outcomes from setting off are a real hassle.
For now, let's just quietly buy the late-night snacks and go back.
Although that's what I say, no matter if it's the Eastern Continent or the Western Continent, there will always be idiots like those.
"Hey, that guy over there, bringing along two beauties, does he look down on us?"
Hearing the guy in the golden-trimmed robe opposite pointing at us and saying that, I scanned the surroundings and then looked at Pure White.
"Pure White, have you seen any other beauties around here?"
"I don't know, master."
"Is that so... Oyado, did you notice?"
"Is big brother referring to the lady 300 meters in the front left, or the one 500 meters in the five o'clock direction, or the one 500 meters in the nine o'clock direction..."
"Oyado-chan~"
"Hehe~"
Oyado giggled mischievously.
"They must be talking about us!"
"That's right, when it comes to beauties, it's Oyado-chan and Pure White!"
"Be...beautiful, called beauties by the master..."
Pure White blushed and looked shyly to the side.
Speaking of which, Oyado is only seven years old, but Pure White is a Shikigami, and yet it can arouse your animalistic desires...
I think you can be annihilated by humanity, right?
"What are you still talking about! I'm trying to talk to you guys!"
The person was still roaring at us, but...
In the next second, I froze his teeth together, and at the same time, the legs of his bodyguard.
Then, I drank a magic potion to instantly replenish my magic, and walked up to them, grabbing hold of them.
"You want..."
Before he could finish, the next moment, the three of them appeared next to the training cave in the Sky Academy we had visited before.
Then, I let go, and the three of them screamed as they fell into the valley.
Wishing you a pleasant meeting with the deities inside~
...
"Wait a minute, I can't replenish my magic all at once now... do I have to fly back?"
Looking at the distant street, I shook my head helplessly.
"If you don't take risks, you won't die."
