Seeing the other party’s expression, Qin Shou’s heart skipped a beat, and he immediately understood.

Even though he was panicking inside, the smile on his face remained perfectly normal.

When you’re undercover, psychological resilience is the most important!

"How about it? Is it getting hard to recognize me?"

Qin Shou patted the armor on his chest, wearing an inexplicable smile.

Leng Wanbai was stirred by his words and looked toward the Four Little Saints.

"You all go back first. I want to catch up with my friend." She said.

The Four Little Saints, hearing this, glanced at Qin Shou’s harmless-looking face, suppressed their curiosity, and nodded in farewell.

"Alright, Big Sister, we’ll head back to Evil Dragon Valley then."

"Bye, Big Sister..."

Leng Wanbai nodded faintly, watching the four of them leave.

She then set up a barrier and turned to Qin Shou, scrutinizing him with her gaze.

"Your aura..."

Qin Shou stepped forward with a smile, stored the Gekkou Insect Instrument into the System Space, and the Spine-eating Gu aura surrounding him instantly disappeared.

"Look again, do I still have any flaws now?" He said with a grin.

Noticing that Qin Shou now had no trace of the Spine-eating Gu aura, Leng Wanbai’s expression changed.

"How... how did you do it?"

Qin Shou folded his arms behind his back and smiled arrogantly.

"Haha, the reason I’ve been unwilling to go to humanity’s Federation Main City is my fear that humans might have found ways to detect us over the past century.

In this little West City, after numerous experiments, I finally discovered a way to hide my aura and even mimic the aura of others like me."

Hearing this, Leng Wanbai nodded and said, "I was thinking the same before. If this body hadn’t sought me out on its own, I wouldn’t have dared show up in the Federation Main City either.

But after my investigations during this time, you can rest assured. Humans currently have no way to detect our true identities. Your method of concealing your aura... doesn’t seem very useful."

"Not useful?"

Qin Shou’s expression turned "awkward." "It shouldn’t be completely useless. If you hadn’t seen me before, wouldn’t you also fail to recognize me?"

"Childish."

Leng Wanbai reverted to indifference and turned to leave.

Qin Shou hurriedly followed after seeing this.

"Hey, how about I teach you my method of hiding your aura? You could give it a try too..."

"No need, it’s a waste of time."

"C’mon, I’ve spent so long developing it, give me a little credit..."

"Keep it for yourself..."

"Come on, it’s better to be prepared, I’m really being sincere here..."

"Shut up, speak quieter."

"Oh, okay."

...

Evil Dragon Valley.

The Four Little Saints dismounted their respective beast mounts and could no longer suppress their curiosity, gathering together quickly.

"Hey, what do you think is the relationship between that guy and the Big Sister, talking in secret behind our backs?"

"Haha, I’ve already done some digging on that guy’s background."

"Oh? Spill it, what’s the deal with that guy?"

"That guy’s name is Qin Shou, from Federation City No. 998, West City."

"What? City No. 998? Someone from such a small place knows the Big Sister?"

"Don’t forget, the Big Sister went to West City not long ago. Brother Flame Dragon was there as well..."

"Shh, don’t talk about that. If Big Sister overhears and remembers the painful events..."

"Yeah, yeah, let’s not talk about that. But we should keep an eye on this Qin Shou guy."

"Why?"

"Because Qin Shou’s reputation in West City isn’t great..."

"The Big Sister may seem invincible, but she’s not even twenty years old yet. I’m worried she might get duped by that sly guy."

"Exactly! I just saw Big Sister smile earlier—she actually smiled..."

"Yeah, those two must’ve had some dealings back in West City."

"Definitely. Big Sister must’ve encountered some trouble in West City. If that guy played some kind of angle, taking advantage of her emotional state and stealing Big Sister..."

"Cough, cough, Xiao Sheng, stop spouting nonsense."

"What do you mean nonsense?"

"You said Big Sister got something stolen—what are you talking about?"

"I meant that guy comforted her while she was upset, taking the opportunity to steal Big Sister’s affections. What were you thinking?"

"Oh... That’s what you meant. You scared me for a second..."

The four kept chatting as they walked deeper into Evil Dragon Valley.

Inside Evil Dragon Valley, there was a high-tier Beast Breeding Laboratory, which they had recently seized as their base.

Upon returning, the youths stationed there greeted them one after another.

"Brother Sheng, where’s Big Sister?"

"Oh, Big Sister ran into a friend; she should be back soon."

"Big Sister’s friend? Male or female?"

"Tsk, why are you asking? Don’t poke your nose into Big Sister’s affairs."

"Haha, I’m just curious!"

"All right, move along. Has your dragon egg hatched yet?"

"Not yet!"

"Then why aren’t you working on that?"

...

Before long, Qin Shou followed Leng Wanbai to the outskirts of Evil Dragon Valley.

"You... you go by Qin Shou now, right?" Leng Wanbai asked, looking at him.

Qin Shou nodded. "That’s right. What should I call you?

Big Sister?

Little Leng?

Bai Bai?

Xiao Bai?

Or should I call you Wan Bai? It’s a pun, shouldn’t cost me anything..."

Leng Wanbai quickly waved her hand. "Stop right there. Maybe you should switch to another host; I think your current state is just too chatty."

The Spine-eating Gu’s parasitism of humans could easily be influenced by the original host’s personality, requiring time to adjust.

Evidently, this "peer" had no intention of making such adjustments.

Qin Shou shrugged with a smile. "I might say the same about your state—it’s so cold, it doesn’t feel human at all."

"Is that so?"

Leng Wanbai’s eyes showed contemplation, but she quickly shook her head.

"No, I’ve worked hard to suppress the original consciousness of this body. I don’t want all that progress to go to waste."

Qin Shou felt a chill in his heart—suppress the consciousness?

What does that mean?

Could it be that the Spine-eating Gu’s parasitism isn’t what I thought it was?
