My Avatar is Becoming the Ultimate BOSS

"Well, I'm about to turn into Black Cocoon sauce." Black Cocoon squinted, sensing a hint of crisis.

Just then, Ke Qirui's message came through again.

[Ke Qirui: Lake Hunting requires each generation's heir to be male, but Lin Xingshi's talent stands out in the Lin Family, so they had to let her disguise as a man, which is why you saw what you did.]

[Ke Qirui: Actually, treating her as a male makes no difference because her family raised her as a boy, and her personality is quite masculine.]

Black Cocoon looked down at the phone wrapped in the restraint belt and typed a reply.

[Black Cocoon: I see, she's like me, an undefined transgender person, deserving respect... But as a person with advanced thoughts, I must criticize your feudal family's male-favoring ways.]

[Ke Qirui: By the way, are you male or female?]

[Black Cocoon: I'm an awakened female.]

[Ke Qirui: Alright, awakened female, just come over directly; no need to hang around. Zhou Jiuya told me Lin Xingshi found you. He asked if you were my friend; I said you were my partner, otherwise, they would have caught you.]

[Black Cocoon: Okay, then I'm done pretending.]

After sending the message, Black Cocoon flung herself from the maple tree above, resolved her invisibility state, patted the leaves off her body with the restraint belt, and walked toward Lin Zhengquan's tombstone, step by step.

Ke Qirui was standing with arms crossed alongside Lin Xingshi and Zhou Jiuya, all three focusing on Black Cocoon.

Xu Sanyan was smoking alone in the distance, standing at the foot of the mountain, gazing at the sea.

In front of the tombstone, Su Zimai was standing with her head down.

She hadn't noticed Black Cocoon's arrival but saw Lin Yilong on the other side. Lin Yilong was expressionless, quietly looking at the tombstone. After hesitating for a long time, Su Zimai approached Lin Yilong.

She said, "My brother, he's not a Mutant anymore, so... I hope you can forgive him."

"It's none of your concern." Lin Yilong's face was void of expression.

"If you hate him so much, why not use me to threaten him? I'm right here." Su Zimai asked.

"Because... it's none of your concern." Lin Yilong reiterated.

"I'm his sister."

"I know you're his sister," Lin Yilong's tone turned cold, "Don't make me say it a third time, move away from me, hear me?"

Su Zimai furrowed her brows, wanting to say something, but she glanced out of the corner of her eye and saw Black Cocoon. She paused slightly, then a hint of surprise flashed across her eyes.

"Big flappy moth?!" she said, "Why are you here?"

Upon hearing Su Zimai's call, Lin Yilong lifted his eyes from the tombstone, turned his head, and silently watched Black Cocoon.

"Passing by, thought I'd stop and check in." Black Cocoon placed her hands on her hips, greeting the two in front of the tombstone, "Cold little prince, Diaper Demon, hope you both are doing well."

"Shut up, insect." "Still on about diapers, you promised me you wouldn't joke about that, untrustworthy!"

Lin Yilong and Su Zimai reprimanded in unison.

Su Zimai seemed unwilling to continue the topic, nor did she want to be angry about it, so she relaxed her furrowed brows and glared at him with irritation.

"How's Mr. Ghost Bell?" Lin Yilong asked.

"Same as ever, still hasn't woken up," Black Cocoon replied, "With Dr. Zirchel keeping an eye, there's no need to worry."

"You know that big villain Ghost Bell?" Su Zimai was stunned, turning her head to look at Lin Yilong.

"He is..." Lin Yilong furrowed his brow, stopped speaking, "Forget it."

Su Zimai seemed to catch him on something and fixed her gaze on him, "No wonder you enjoy catching my brother to beat him up; you're just like Ghost Bell, all bad things! The result of doing bad things is ending up like Ghost Bell in Hell; got it?"

Lin Yilong coldly said, "Say whatever you want, I don't bother arguing with children."

After speaking, he voluntarily walked away, leaving only Black Cocoon and Su Zimai at the tombstone.

Su Zimai watched Lin Yilong leave, feeling mixed emotions, knowing this person was against her brother, yet unable to stop him.

"See, that's the cold little prince."

Black Cocoon leaned closer to Su Zimai's ear, gesturing at Lin Yilong's back.

"Don't mention him anymore!" Su Zimai was exasperated.

"Then who should I mention?"

"Big flappy moth, how's my brother?" Su Zimai pulled Black Cocoon to the corner of the cemetery and lifted her head to ask, "Is he alright in the past two days?"

"Your brother is enjoying his retirement at home, with your old dad," Black Cocoon said nonchalantly, "Yesterday, they celebrated your dad's birthday, bought a huge cake, you saw it on the video call, didn't you?"

"That's good..." Su Zimai breathed a sigh of relief, then asked, "Then what are you here for? Showing off?"

"I'm heading to the United States next, so your dear captain gave me a lift."

As Black Cocoon said this, she glanced sideways at Ke Qirui's direction.

At this moment, Ke Qirui and the two from Lake Hunting were all staring at Black Cocoon without moving.

"Cousin, how can you make friends with all kinds of people?" Zhou Jiuya tilted his head, "This thing, is it really your friend?"

"Yes." Ke Qirui lit up a smile with a pipe, "Doesn't it have quite the character?"

"It does seem pretty interesting..." Lin Xingshi raised her eyebrows, turning to Zhou Jiuya, "Jiuya, should we go chat with him for a bit?"

"No, let's not embarrass our Lake Hunting people." Zhou Jiuya sighed, "This graveyard area is already gloomy, yet somehow something even gloomier shows up."

"Big flappy moth," Su Zimai's voice drew Black Cocoon's attention.

"What's up, Diaper Demon?"

Black Cocoon shifted her gaze from the Lake Hunting duo to look down at Su Zimai's face.

Su Zimai pondered, then quietly asked, "Big flappy moth, I checked my phone this morning, and heard people say you're retiring, and that you won't return to Li Jing anymore, is that true?"

"Oh? You cared so much about me?" Black Cocoon raised his eyebrows, staring at her with curiosity, "That news only came out recently, didn't it?"

Ke Qirui walked over, teasing, "Don't say more, Xiaomai is bored, searches 'Black Cocoon' and 'Blue Arc' on Weibo a hundred times a day, Blue Arc is her brother, naturally she cares a lot. But why she pays so much attention to Black Cocoon... I don't understand."

Su Zimai was stunned, her face instantly went red.

She widened her eyes, flustered, opened her mouth slightly, first glanced at Black Cocoon with suspicion, then glared at the teasing Ke Qirui, stammering in defense:

"Don't make things up, Captain! I never searched for the big flappy moth! It was just a link that popped up while reading my brother's news and clicked into it by accident!"

"Oh? Is that true?" Ke Qirui smiled, "Really not searching 'Black Cocoon's Super Topic' every night before sleep? Then murmuring to me, 'This big flappy moth really deserves a beat, why hasn't anyone moved to punish him?' Also saying 'Actually, after watching for a while, this flappy moth isn't that ugly, quite cute.'"

"I never said those things! And even if I did browse his Weibo, it's purely for stress relief!" Su Zimai reddened, furrowing her brow like a bristled little lion.

She raised her hand and pointed at Black Cocoon, speaking word by word, "Who told this big flappy moth to be so amusing, does lots of funny things!"

Black Cocoon held his chin, seriously assessing her.

He said softly, "Miss Su Zimai, I think if you knew what kind of person I am under the mask, you would definitely regret being so obsessed with me, maybe even... want to slap yourself twice."

"Enough! No one cares whether you're a person or a ghost under your mask, stop being narcissistic!" Su Zimai couldn't take it anymore, "A bug should act like a bug!"

Black Cocoon raised a finger, speaking to himself:

"And, I must clarify, I'm an indubitable awakened female, Miss Su Zimai, if you like me, then... you should seriously consider your own sexual orientation."

Ke Qirui laughed, "Well, it seems Gu Wenyu saying our Maimai might be a lesbian isn't baseless."

Su Zimai was thoroughly flustered.

She pushed on Black Cocoon with one hand, on Ke Qirui with the other, gritting her teeth, almost in tears, "Captain, hurry and go to the United States with this big flappy moth, don't let me see you both again!"
