Valentina asked lightly, but the other two present couldn't stay calm at all.

You... you... you... huh!

It always feels like she's doing something very dangerous, yet somehow it seems a bit reliable?

So, the two of them pursed their lips, not daring to make a sound, remaining silent.

And the fourth "person" present was also very quiet at this moment.

"..." 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

The Wandering Lady squinted her eyes, looking at the yogurt in the jar, then at the assorted snacks and jerky on the other side.

?

Honestly, she rarely finds herself so confused.

After entering this state, she seldom has moments of clarity, usually shrouded in a daze.

Whenever she briefly awakens, she either sees someone following behind her or someone kneeling and praying in front of her...

More often than not, she is completely ignored by others, unseen by anyone.

No one is qualified to notice her.

Waking up to find someone showing off their snacks in front of her... this was a first.

She shot a deep look at the smiling Valentina, frowning slightly.

There was no reflection of her shadow in the other person's eyes.

This Giant Dragon didn't truly see her but sensed her presence through some kind of instinctive near-intuitive ability.

For a moment, the Wandering Lady sensed traces of an ancient and familiar aura from Valentina.

After pondering for a moment, she finally remembered that nearly forgotten name.

"...Mother of Dragons?"

An ancient name, signifying an era long lost in the river of time.

The era of dragons had ended, and the age of Ancient Gods had long passed. Now, it is the era of worshipping various gods.

"..."

After a while, the Wandering Lady cast one last deep glance at Valentina, then turned and walked out of the room.

The mansion's door and barrier held no meaning for her; her tall figure passed directly through.

Throughout the whole process, she left no words behind and didn't glance at Flora or Kreti.

She departed as abruptly as she had arrived.

No one knew why she came, nor did anyone understand why she suddenly left.

This bizarre incident, which left the three monster girls in chaos, ended inexplicably—right after Valentina took out yogurt and snacks.

"..."

After a long while, seeing Valentina standing in place, continuously blinking without speaking, Kreti cautiously asked, "Um, has it... has it left?"

"Huh? Oh!"

Valentina only then snapped back to reality, blinking in confusion before nodding somewhat uncertainly, "Seems like it left? I suppose it did?"

She looked down at the snacks in her hand, pouting unhappily, "Looks like it didn't like these..."

Valentina sighed with a hint of melancholy and then, in frustration, stuffed the jerky into her mouth.

"No, this is so tasty!"

(Chewing noises)

"Ugh, why doesn't it understand?"

(Chewing noises)

"Ugh, it really understands nothing!"

(Chewing noises)

Miss Hungry Dragon had already started eating, but Flora hadn't relaxed her guard.

Once certain the entity had left, she quickly began checking and reinforcing the mansion's barriers.

Since it didn't force its way in, it probably entered with Evelyn. Were there special rules applicable to it?

Flora and the others were still worried it might return, but Miss Hungry Dragon's mind wasn't occupied with such complexities.

Since the entity had left amicably, the issue was considered resolved.

As the saying goes, a villain's scheming cannot compare to a fool's moment of inspiration.

This saying suggests the unpredictability and destructiveness of a fool's actions.

Villains usually have clear goals and plans, which can be guarded against with logic and regulations.

Fools, on the other hand, due to ignorance, impulsiveness, or a self-assured moment of insight, act illogically, leading to disastrous consequences.

Yet, Valentina's moment of insight didn't lead to a disastrous outcome.

Thus, a conclusion can be drawn—she is not a fool!

A round of applause is in order!

Feeling triumphant after safely "sending off" the unknown threat, Valentina beamed with pride.

Although she seemed to put no effort and did nothing substantial, it still felt like a grueling task!

She rewarded herself with another bite!

"...Hey? Why is there one less? Did I eat that fast?" She blinked, recalling the portions she had just eaten.

Did I not take out that much?

Did the jerky fall?

"Speaking of which, where could it possibly go?" Flora asked Kreti softly.

After leaving Molten Hell, the two had grown closer—one no longer needing to provoke demons to pass time, the other no longer needing to scold demons to pass time.

Without "boredom" as the main issue, they looked at each other with gentler eyes.

"Who knows?"

Kreti shrugged indifferently, "This is the Holy City of Radiance, after all. It's unlikely to let an 'undead' run rampant, right? We needn't bother ourselves with it."

Throughout the incident, they only got a brief sense of that unknown presence; the rest of the time, they had no perception of it at all, like dealing with a ghost.

"You better not think of going out to relay the message; just wait patiently for Herbert to return."

After pondering briefly, Flora nodded in agreement and quietly said, "You have a point, too."
