"I'm sorry. If it weren't for those two cat demons causing trouble, today's harvest wouldn't be so meager." Mu stood in front of him, looking apologetically at the deflated cloth bag in her hand. "Only this much has been extracted."
"The descendant of the Cat Demon King is indeed more capable than others." He smiled faintly, continuing to browse through various books in front of the towering bookshelves. Soft light projected from the ceiling adorned with spiral patterns, enveloping his slender body, yet cast no shadows on the ground no matter where he walked.
His study was incredibly spacious and high, surpassing even a library. He seemed to have condensed all the knowledge in the universe here.
"Why... don't you ever look at me?" Mu followed his graceful and slow pace, unable to hide a secret sense of loss in her eyes. "Don't I look good like this?"
His attention was not on her at all. He was only focused on flipping through "Quantum Theory of Multi-Particle Systems" in his hand. He shook his head as he read, put it back, picked up "A Brief History of Time," and still shook his head while reading. As for books like "Variations in the Earth's Magnetic Field," "The Present and Future of Cosmic Life," etc., he glanced through them and disdainfully tossed them back in place, saying coldly, "Trash."
"Shuo..." She took a step closer and softly called his name, unwilling to give up.
"Call me Master, or God Anubis." His gaze remained unfaltering, coldly closing the book in his hand. "What you look like now is of no importance. Those tacky questions that only stupid humans ask, I don't want to hear from you again."
The gleam in Mu's eyes gradually dimmed. She placed the cloth bag on the ground and said in a low voice, "Yes, master."
"Leave." With a slight movement of his left hand finger, the cloth bag flew into his hand. He weighed it for a moment and added, "Keep working hard; we still have a little time." He walked over to the globe placed next to the bookshelf, slowly turning the blue sphere. "Three Kings' Alignment... hehe."
"Rest assured, master." Mu stepped back to the door. As she turned to leave, she looked at his captivating silhouette, the face that has been in her heart for thousands of years, and she couldn't help but murmur sadly, "I thought you would like it..."
