Fisher, having received the money, walked over to Kexie Ning and drew out the Fluid Sword from his chest, saying to her,
"Are you done eating? Once you're finished, we can get ready to leave."
"I... I'm finished. We can leave now. It's good timing since there should be fewer Slimes in the Boundary at night."
Kexie Ning, now full, looked up and smiled at Fisher, then gently extended her third hand from atop her head and placed it over those Northern Realm silver coins. Then, something strange happened: while the coins showed no visible change, a stream of golden light, fine as silk threads, suddenly surged into her body.
In the next instant, that golden light burst into life, and Kexie Ning's soft body gently wrapped around Fisher. Their shapes in the real world became instantly distorted and vague, and that eerie, merry song once again echoed throughout the entire hall.
"Kexie Ning Kexie Ning Kexie Ning Kexie Ning!"
