Anyone who has seen a cat curl up knows that when cats lie down, they don't maintain a flat posture. Instead, they curl up their four limbs, turning themselves into a fluffy "ball". The tail, which is easily exposed from under the quilt, is controlled by Mewo White, altering its shape. The waving cat tail is like a rubber band, tightly wrapped around the legs and closely against the skin for a period of time. It is because of Big Brother's hope that Mewo White is hiding so hard. However, although the young girl has done her best, she still exposes a flaw. The curled position has created a large "juicy protrusion" between the bed and the quilt. If this protrusion is left unattended, Isabella will immediately notice the suspicious area when she enters the room. Taking this into consideration, Wang Xiaole quickly takes action, lying on the bed herself, attempting to camouflage the hard-to-ignore protrusion with her own body.

After completing everything that can be done, Isabella finally gets the opportunity to enter the master's room. After hearing a courtly greeting, Wang Xiaole opens her eyes and stares intently at the door that is being pulled open. Step, step, step. As a result, a suspicious figure walks in, completely wrapped in a heavy coat from head to toe. Wang Xiaole often sees people dressed like this in crime films, many criminals who are preparing to rob a bank will dress like this. "Who are you?" Click! It sounds like a broken heart. Wang Xiaole sees the suspicious person who walked in pulling down the mask covering their face and say with a slightly shaken voice, "Master, I changed my clothes. Can't you recognize me? It's so hurtful..." "Oh, my disciple! Is this how you come dressed?" "Yes, as a disciple, it's inconvenient to go out, so I changed my appearance." The effect of the disguise is very obvious. It was with this completely new appearance that Isabella was able to freely come and go on the streets after leaving the fortress. The only downside was that when she entered this inn, she was asked by the female owner who cared about the safety of the shop to be searched on the spot. "It's a good thing that the owner patted me for a while and found that I had nothing dangerous on me. That's why she dispelled my worries about carrying dangerous items." The sense of relief of having a "flat body" feels somewhat sad to Wang Xiaole's ears. However, it is true that the disciple benefited from a misfortune. As the master, after putting away the fleeting sympathy, asked about the disciple's purpose: "There shouldn't be a decrease in the palace's affairs recently, why does the disciple have time to come to the master's house?" Isabella stands opposite the bed, expressionless, and answers, "The disciple wanted to come and see the master." This statement is true, with no hint of falsehood, but it is also not the whole truth. As the disciple, it is only natural to be concerned about the master's living conditions and occasionally come to visit. But in another sense, Isabella also wants to know if the black-haired woman mentioned by the polar bear, who appeared near the orc camp last night, is indeed the master.

If that's the case, does the disappearance of the orc princess have anything to do with the master?

If the master was still normal, Isabella would have questioned it long ago.

But just before she started searching for answers, she noticed something:

"What's in the master's blanket? Why is it so bulging? It's propping up the whole blanket."

After hearing this, Wang Xiaole thought to himself:

Indeed, this question cannot be avoided, but luckily I am prepared.

When asked about the "prominent bulge," Wang Xiaole reacted according to the planned script, extending his evenly toned legs.

And quickly, he retracted his legs again.

After the "display" was over, he told his apprentice:

"It's been cold lately, and my legs have been affected by rheumatism; if I don't prop them up, supporting the bottom layer of the blanket, I won't be able to bear the discomfort."

"So, the bulge was your legs! But at your age, you shouldn't be suffering from rheumatism yet."

"It's no big deal. As the saying goes, 'illness knows no age.' In the face of certain diseases, the group of sufferers is not limited by borders, identity, or gender."

"The master is the master, always able to use some strong arguments to make it impossible for others to refute..."

The issue of the bulge was temporarily concealed.

Later, Isabella looked around and saw that there were some vegetables being chopped in the kitchen, which caught her attention:

"Has there been a guest at the master's house? Who cut the vegetables?"

(Whispering) "Oh no! I forgot to dispose of the ingredients left in the kitchen after Sia left."

There's always a loophole in a well-crafted plan, and Wang Xiaole regretted his negligence with his left brain, while using his right brain to think of excuses.

As if it were second nature, Wang Xiaole's ability to fabricate lies is truly perfected.

"There hasn't been anyone other than you visiting my house, so I cut those vegetables."

"The master cut them?"

Isabella walked into the kitchen, picked up a piece of meat with kitchen utensils, and looked at it skeptically:

"Why did the master just leave the cut vegetables there in the kitchen?"

"Oh, you see, I still haven't had dinner yet, and I wanted to treat myself to something nice, but my rheumatism acted up halfway through."

"So, the master had no choice but to leave the ingredients in the kitchen and now you're hungry but cannot make yourself something to eat?"

"Well, you got it right!"

With this linguistic "out," Wang Xiaole didn't think too much and followed along. How could he possibly control the series of consequences caused by his actions?

From the ears of the apprentice, there was undoubtedly a hint of bitterness:

The master, who is an extraordinary being, doesn't even have the right to have a proper meal like an ordinary person.

It's truly pitiful.

She couldn't bear to see her hungry master and decided to do something herself.

Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding!

The sound of chopping echoed on the cutting board, coming from one of the apprentices, prompted by the thought of further chopping the ingredients.

"Master, it seems like I'm hearing things. I suddenly heard the sound of a knife chopping vegetables."

"Master didn't mishear. That chopping sound was me."

"Apprentice... you didn't eat before coming here either?"

"Huh?"

It was thanks to Isabella's good state of mind that she didn't accidentally throw the knife she was holding against the wall due to the unexpected remark just now.

"Master misunderstood. I didn't want you to go hungry, so I decided to prepare a few dishes with the available ingredients and serve them to you."

"Isn't that inappropriate?"

"There is nothing inappropriate about actions taken by the ruler of a nation. Master can look forward to the meal afterward."

The sound of chopping vegetables in the kitchen never stopped during this one-sided insistence. Unbeknownst to the master and disciple, inside the new sleeping bag, an eye peered through a narrow opening, maliciously glancing towards the direction of the kitchen.

(Muttering) "Tsk, thought it was someone important, turns out to be this woman!"

The person speaking softly was Cai. She held a strong opinion against Isabella. Many people, including Sister Glasses, misunderstood Cai. They believed that Cai had helped the unconscious empress regain consciousness, thinking it was an act of goodwill towards her.

Such thoughts were completely absurd.

That help at the time wasn't purely altruistic; Cai only wanted to manipulate the empress as a pawn in her own plan. However, unexpected events occurred, causing Cai to temporarily change her plans and turn the ultimate goal of controlling the empress's mind into a favor to be sold.

But even though the outcome changed, Cai's attitude remained fundamentally unchanged. To be precise, Cai was not truly a bad person; on the contrary, she held goodwill towards most people, especially the girls around Wang Xiaole. However, there were exceptions; the exception being anyone related to the royal family of Dibiles!

It could be said that there was no one on the continent who hated the Dibiles royal family more than Cai!

If it weren't for Cai's strong feelings of hatred, she wouldn't have imprisoned the Inran delegation back then, let alone prematurely instigate a war between the two nations.

Behind all these actions stemmed from a desire for revenge.

(Muttering) "Dibiles was a member of the Seven Nations Alliance back then and holds responsibility for the death of that person (king)… Isabella, you're the only remaining descendant of the royal family? I won't let you get too close to that person (Wang Xiaole)!"

Compared to Cai, the "white-clad older sister," Mewo White, who was still hiding under the blanket, was naturally much simpler.

Mewo White thought she was playing hide-and-seek with her big brother's friend, and until now, she had been cautiously hiding without once sticking her head out of the blanket.

But because of the limited space inside the blanket and the lack of interesting toys, Mewo White found it a bit dull.

As a curious young cat, Mewo White began to explore alone in the blanket because she had nothing else to do. As she was still young, her thoughts were not complex, so she strongly believed that the small blanket used to cover her body was actually a vast and extraordinary space, containing passages that connected to different dimensions.

In this magical place, which could be compared to a "treasure cave," she curled up and gently rolled, searching for anything that might capture her attention.

"Success comes to those who strive for it," not long after, Mewo White's little head reached out in front of a stick-like object.

It was a magical "stick" that trembled lightly on its own and instantly grew in size when touched.

Mewo White lacked gender awareness and didn't understand what it was.

But this little girl, influenced by a strong desire for knowledge, tentatively reached out her hands and grabbed the "stick".

"Yi!"

Wang Xiaole exclaimed, and this unusual cry caught Isabella's attention;

The disciple in the kitchen couldn't help but gather up courage and shout:

"Master, what happened?"

Something did indeed happen, and it was not a small matter, but Wang Xiaole couldn't tell the truth.
