Stelle wasn't disgusted by Pei Guang's action, but because she had also discovered this manhole cover earlier.
She had found a total of seven manhole covers along the way. This Harmony Manhole Cover was the last one, and also the first one she possessed.
Originally, after playing with the Harmony Manhole Cover for a while, she was going to favor the other manhole covers.
But what did she see? She actually saw Pei Guang licking her manhole cover with his tongue?
If Pei Guang used his tongue to lick her, she wouldn't care! Whatever part of her body Pei Guang wanted to lick, just tell her, and she would consider agreeing, no hesitation whatsoever.
But Pei Guang actually wanted to lick her manhole cover? This was intolerable!
Even if it was the person she liked, she would absolutely not allow Pei Guang to lick her manhole cover.
Pei Guang: "Hmm? You found it? I just discovered this is a manhole cover with Abundance attributes. Just sticking to it restores HP, so I reckoned licking it might have a better effect. Hehe~ Let me try first?
It's been so long, apart from getting some consumables from the Ambrosial Arbor and Phantylia, we don't have other healing methods. If this can restore HP, we can save up the consumables."
The two of them understood each other very well. Although they often fought over treasures and even plotted against each other due to verbal disagreements.
But both were decent people: they would only rob openly and wouldn't pull these kinds of petty tricks.
Hearing Pei Guang's explanation, Stelle puffed out her chest triumphantly and waved her hand: "Fine, you go ahead. But since I found it first, I have to join in too."
Pei Guang: "No problem!"
Pei Guang took the manhole cover out. He licked this side, while Stelle licked that side.
What? Dirty? The manhole covers in the Dreamscape were very clean: there were not even any traces left by time on them.
And as the two approached, the Abundance Manhole Cover emitted a life-filled green light.
As a manhole cover of Abundance, it would grant blessings to anyone who needed it.
While these two were messing with the manhole cover, in front of the huge platform facing the Memoria hole in Dreamflux Reef, Robin met with Himeko, Welt, March 7th, and Firefly.
Pei Guang left suddenly, and she didn't have the means of a player.
Considering everyone would worry if Pei Guang suddenly disappeared, Robin specially found them when Pei Guang left and explained the situation to them.
Of course, Robin didn't mention the details. It was better if only the three of them knew about the stigmatization.
If March 7th knew and it delayed the emotional progress between March 7th and Pei Guang, Robin wouldn't know how to compensate them!
After narrating everything, Robin lowered her head and apologized to everyone: "Everyone, I am truly sorry. Because of my personal reasons, Mr. Pei Guang's rendezvous with you has been delayed."
After hearing Robin's explanation, March 7th put her hands on her hips and laughed: "Haha~ This girl thought it was something serious~ Don't worry, we have special means. As long as Stelle is still here, Ah Guang can come back anytime."
Himeko also nodded: "It is Pei Guang's character. Although the method of making him leave temporarily is somewhat rough, it is indeed the safest way. He has rich experience in this regard, and he will definitely handle your brother's matter well."
Robin: "I believe so too!"
Robin's eyes sparkled with happiness. Penacony was full of dangers, and no matter what, she didn't want this crisis to be related to her brother.
The only thing that gave her a headache was not knowing what reward to give Pei Guang.
The other party helped her so enthusiastically, which made choosing a reward somewhat difficult for her.
Therefore, Robin asked March 7th: "By the way, does Mr. Pei Guang have anything he likes? I promised to give him some rewards after completing the task, but I don't know what to give."
March 7th waved her hand: "Hey, don't worry about this. Ah Guang isn't picky, even just a word of thanks is fine. Eh? If you really can't decide, Miss Robin, you can recommend a few fun places to Ah Guang, or recommend some good albums.
Anyway, I can't think of anything Ah Guang needs in terms of material things. Hey! I got it. When the quest ends, just let Ah Guang feel around in your pocket. There's no guarantee what he might pull out."
It wasn't just March 7th who couldn't think of anything: no one present could think of anything.
Valuable items? Pei Guang currently had two planets, one gifted by Asta and one Earth he occupied himself. He didn't lack resources or population.
Earth was even being invaded by the Legion: if he had nowhere to go, he could just go to Earth to play with the Legion—limitless joy!
However!
That wasn't the most important thing.
The most important thing was that Pei Guang could really pull out the things he wanted from trash cans, various jars, and even machines ruined by others.
In Belobog, relying on archaeology, he scraped together several Engines of Creation. With this skill, he truly didn't lack purely material things.
Compared to material rewards, what Pei Guang liked most were various affection points, or... touching the other party's pocket directly?
Anyway, it had become the norm for him to pull things out of other people's pockets that couldn't even fit in them.
Like various special effects, the cooking pot from Kafka's bosom, various gems from Aventurine's pocket, and skill books from Yanqing's pocket.
Neither Pei Guang nor everyone else understood the principle of this ability for the time being. But according to him, the more complex the quest process, the stronger the enemy, and the higher the difficulty, the better the reward he could pull out.
Compared to increasing affection points, letting Pei Guang feel around in the pocket was truly a high-level reward for him.
Hearing March 7th's suggestion, Robin nodded in understanding: "So that's how it is. I understand. Then I'll let Mr. Pei Guang feel..."
Robin suddenly realized something: she was wearing a dress, and the dress didn't have pockets.
Did she have to change into trousers with pockets? But the pockets on many of her trousers were on the butt...
Thinking of this, Robin's eyes widened, and her face blushed involuntarily.
Just as her mind was filled with wild thoughts, March 7th nearby noticed on the mini-map that Pei Guang had returned and gathered together with Stelle.
"Eh? Wait? Ah Guang seems to be back, and he's gathered with Stelle? The two of them? Why aren't they moving? Hmm? Did they find something good?"
March 7th's eyes lit up instantly.
She looked at everyone and proposed: "Let's go, let's go see what good stuff they've actually come up with."
Himeko: "I'll just wait here."
Welt: "Same for me, you young people go play."
Himeko and Welt glanced at each other; both read the other's thoughts in their eyes.
They understood Pei Guang very well, and understood Stelle even better.
If these two got together in private and actually did some "disharmonious" things, both Himeko and Welt would thank the heavens, because it would prove that these two were somewhat normal people.
But here lay the problem: although the things these two did could tentatively be considered good deeds, they were absolutely not normal people.
When March 7th and the others walked away, Himeko sighed and whispered: "When we came, I saw that Stelle's gaze was fixed on the manhole covers the whole time..."
Welt pushed up his glasses: "I saw it too. I suspect that going over there now, we would definitely see a scene that would blind my eyes."
Himeko didn't speak, but her expression already told Welt that they were thinking the same thing.
March 7th and the others didn't have so many thoughts.
Plus, when they gathered earlier, one was taking photos everywhere with a camera, and the other's eyes were full of Pei Guang, looking everywhere for him, so they didn't notice Stelle's abnormality.
March 7th and the others didn't know about this matter.
Following the location information shared by Pei Guang and Stelle on the mini-map, the two of them took Robin and went to find those two, talking and laughing along the way.
However, when they arrived near the street, Robin's eyes widened: "L-Look, you guys..."
Robin was a bit dumbfounded.
Although she had cooperated with Pei Guang in the Dreamscape before and had seen Pei Guang's slightly abstract scenes, she completely couldn't stand watching this scene right now!
March 7th and Firefly also followed Robin's gaze, and they also saw a scene that made their pupils quake.
Pei Guang and Stelle were actually facing each other, licking a manhole cover together with looks of enjoyment on their faces!!!!!
At this moment, everyone was silent.
They would rather believe that Pei Guang and Stelle were holding each other engaging in a passionate wet kiss, rolling all over the ground, than see these two things holding a manhole cover and licking it vigorously, licking until their faces were full of enjoyment…
