Chapter 191: Poison Gas
"Where’s Stealth One?"
"Mom?"
Hearing Lin Yu’s call, part of the shadow beneath the golden-haired girl suddenly twisted, eventually morphing into a gray ant that materialized in the bedroom.
"What is it, Mom?"
"I intend to bestow the Shape-shifting skill upon you."
"Shape-shifting…"
The gray ant seemed taken aback, freezing momentarily.
"To me? What about the other sisters?"
"They’ll follow after you."
"I see…"
Stealth One’s tone carried a note of happiness.
Ah, so she assumed her B Qualification would place her behind her A Qualification sisters…
Have a little more confidence, dear. Mommy is quite fond of you!
At the very least, I adore the sensation of riding Stealth One—just a light stroke of my finger down her back makes her shiver ever so sensitively. It’s rather amusing.
Lin Yu then proceeded to possess Army Lady once more.
After seizing control of Army Lady’s body, she granted Stealth One the "Shape-shifting" skill.
/Skill activation successful.
Now endowed with the "Shape-shifting" skill, Stealth One hesitated, her gaze lingering on Army Lady—currently under Lin Yu’s possession—without immediately activating the ability.
"…Aren’t you going to try it?"
"I… I’d like Mom to be the first to see it…"
"Hmm…"
Well, if it’s her daughter’s wish, how could she refuse?
Though, such words do carry a hint of sappiness.
Ah, now that I think of it, I was also the sole witness when my other daughters first took human form.
The first transformations of my daughters—all claimed by Mommy!
"Then return for now," Lin Yu said after a moment’s consideration.
After all, apart from Stealth One, Army Lady still had Stealth Two, Stealth Three, and Stealth Ten by her side.
Losing Stealth One temporarily wouldn’t pose much concern.
"Understood, Mom."
As if fearing Lin Yu might reconsider, Stealth One promptly acquiesced.
Then her eyes glimmered faintly as she spoke up.
"What about Army Lady?"
"Army Lady? Is something wrong?"
"Am I returning alone?"
"Mhm."
The girl gave her a puzzled look.
Was there an issue?
With Stealth One’s capabilities, returning alone shouldn’t be concerning.
Moreover, given her skill set, there was no risk of detection by the human race.
"I understand."
After receiving Lin Yu’s response, a subtle hint of schadenfreude flickered beneath Stealth One’s composed expression.
…
Returning to the matter at hand.
After two uses of the "Transformation" skill, only a handful of Magic Recovery Potions remained from Manfel’s Apothecary.
Even consuming all these remaining bottles likely wouldn’t restore half of the Magic Value Limit.
To acquire more Magic Recovery Potions, it was time for Lvzi to depart.
And so.
Before Foggy Castle’s gates, after securing a bundle of clothes, provisions, and coins to Lvzi’s traveling pack:
"Travel safely, little sister," Red Pupil said with a gentle smile.
"We’ll miss you, sister," Magic Rainbow chimed in, while Little Liquor peeked from beside her and nodded vigorously.
"Ehehe, no need to miss me too much – you’re making me blush!"
As their farewells concluded, Weak Sound finally gathered courage from her corner. Under the collective gaze of the ant colony, she approached Lvzi.
"Sister…"
"Little Sound!"
Lvzi immediately scooped up the tiny ant, nuzzling her affectionately.
"Come find me when you’ve transformed, okay?"
"Mm!"
After sharing this tender moment with Weak Sound, the green-haired girl turned to Lin Yu. She swallowed nervously, steadying her rapid breathing as she prepared to speak.
"She’s leaving! Sister’s finally leaving!!"
The joyful cries of Purple Cloud and Purple Mist from above abruptly shattered the sisters’ emotional farewell.
Lvzi glared upward with irritation.
Purple Cloud and Purple Mist appeared startled, instantly fluttering higher into the air.
"Hmph, lucky you’re quick."
After this muttered remark, her gaze returned to Lin Yu.
"Um… Mom… Mommy…"
The green-haired girl rubbed her hands together with a slightly nervous expression, her breathing growing increasingly erratic.
"What is it?"
"If we go to town this time, who knows when we’ll return… Mommy, could I… could I get a hug? Would you hug your daughter…?"
Her voice suddenly intensified at the word "hug," startling Lin Yu.
Normally, a mother would happily embrace her daughter upon request, but… this was Lvzi. One hug might send them both into unconsciousness.
After a moment’s hesitation, the white-haired girl settled for gently patting Lvzi’s head instead.
Through the touch, she could feel Lvzi’s entire body vibrating with barely contained excitement.
‘Everyone’s watching – keep it appropriate and don’t react strangely!’
To Lin Yu’s astonishment, Lvzi actually restrained herself.
No fainting spell occurred – just rapid breathing and slight trembling.
Though this seemed more controlled than usual, an inexplicable chill ran down Lin Yu’s spine, making her shiver.
"…Travel safely."
The words came quickly as the pale-haired girl withdrew her hand.
After bidding individual farewells to each ant, Lvzi shouldered her pack and departed toward the Fog Zone’s edge, turning back every few steps.
When the mist finally swallowed her form, Lin Yu distinctly heard multiple sighs of relief from those around her, though barely audible.
…
Once the castle vanished from view, the green-haired girl accelerated.
She typically maintained composure, even appearing dependable at times – her peculiar behavior emerged only regarding Lin Yu-related matters.
While yearning to remain by Lin Yu’s side, she understood the magic recovery potion’s vital importance to both Lin Yu and the entire ant colony, preventing any attempts to linger through childish behavior.
Transforming into an emerald blur, she darted through the Fog Zone where occasional monsters launched surprise attacks.
Most Fog Zone creatures ranked Class C – trivial opponents for a Class A like Lvzi, requiring mere sword strokes rather than skills.
Though less weapon-proficient than Army Lady, Lvzi’s extensive combat experience made longsword combat effortless.
Upon reaching Class A like Red Pupil and Army Lady, she’d acquired a new ability:
"Toxic Gas."
This skill released colorless, odorless poisonous fumes that inflicted poisoning on inhalation.
While moderately effective alone, its potency amplified dramatically when combined with "Poison Surcharge" or "Paralysis Attachment."
Furthermore, the Acid Ant’s naturally corrosive secretions could bond with the toxic vapor.
Thus when employing "Toxic Gas," even Red Pupil found confronting Lvzi problematic.
…
During Lvzi’s town expedition:
The following dawn, patrolling daughters brought news –
Sylvestre and Martina had finally arrived at the castle.
