Upstairs, Malrik returned covered from head to toe in bird droppings.
Embarrassed by how miserable he looked, he avoided the main hall and slipped back through the window instead.
He genuinely hadn’t expected the hidden cliffside canyon to be swarming with those giant green birds.
The birds themselves were harmless.
Unfortunately, whatever they ate gave them an unbelievable ability to poop.
The moment anyone got close, their rear ends activated like automatic sprinklers.
Thankfully, none of it had landed on the fruit itself. Otherwise, he would have lost all interest in bringing the fruit back.
He climbed through the window and stepped into his room.
Shock instantly froze him in place.
His eyes swept across the room in disbelief. If the photographs of him and Emma weren’t still hanging on the wall, he would have assumed he had entered the wrong bedroom.
His gaze slowly landed on the item resting on the bed.
For a brief moment, he completely forgot to shower and change clothes.
He thought, Did Emma prepare this for me?
Why now?
It has not even been my turn these past few days.
Question after question flooded his mind.
At that moment, Emma pushed the door open.
The sight that greeted her was Malrik standing stiffly beside the bed, still covered in bird droppings, while staring blankly at the object lying there.
Only after noticing her did he suddenly snap back to reality. “Emma… don’t come closer. Don’t look at me.”
Unfortunately for him, Emma had already seen everything.
“Malrik, what happened to you?” she asked.
She stared at the bird droppings coating him from head to toe. Although she resisted the urge to step back, she didn’t dare move closer either.
Part of her desperately wanted to retreat.

Still she worried that reacting too obviously would hurt his feelings. “How did you end up covered in this much bird poopa
She thought, Isn’t Silas supposed to have sent him to pick fruit?
How does that mission turn into this?
Did he fall straight into a giant bird nest or something?
More importantly, Malrik is level twelve.
What kind of birds can attack him with such terrifying accuracy?
At first, he instinctively wanted to cover his face so she wouldn’t see how pathetic he looked.
Then he noticed both of his hands were covered, too.
He gave up immediately.
He thought, Forget it.
My face is probably covered as well. At this point, Emma likely cannot even tell what expression I am making anymore.
Awkwardness filled his voice as he explained, “I went to pick fruit for you. But I didn’t expect that place to be full of giant green birds.”
“Giant green birds?” she questioned.
Emma frowned slightly as she looked at him. “So… they basically ganged up on you?”
Malrik nodded helplessly. “Pretty much. They have absolutely no attack power, but they poop like crazy. Their butts are basically high-pressure sprinklers…”
Emma fell silent.
“Emma, let me take a shower first. Wait here for me.” He glanced briefly at the ribbon on the bed before quickly heading toward the bathroom.
T Fearful that she might leave while he was gone, he stopped at the bathroom door and reminded her again, “Emma, you have to wait for me. I’ll be out soon.”
She nodded seriously. “It’s fine. Take your time. Don’t rush. I’ll wait for you.”
The bathroom door shut behind him moments later.
Soon, the room filled with the sound of rushing water along with the constant clatter of bottles and containers. Judging by the noise alone, he was conducting an extremely intense emergency cleaning session.
Although he showered quickly, he scrubbed himself repeatedly to make sure he was absolutely clean.
Only after every trace of bird droppings had disappeared, and his entire body smelled strongly of fragrant body wash, did he finally stop.
Once the sound of running water faded away, she glanced at the time on her lightcore.

She thought. He spent nearly an hour showering
Honestly, I completely understand
Anyone covered that evenly in bird droppings would probably do the same.
# it happens to me, I might stay inside even longer.
A short while later, Malrik finally emerged from the bathroom wrapped in lingering steam.
Water droplets slid from the ends of his damp hair, tracing slow paths down his firm chest before disappearing beneath hanging loosely around his waist.
Emma stared at him in shock.
The longer she looked, the wider her eyes became.
“What’s wrong, Emma?” Confusion crossed Malrik’s face as he noticed her increasingly stunned expression. “Do I still have bird poop on me somewhere?”
“No.” Emma immediately shook her head before reaching out to touch his face.
“Malrik, didn’t you look in the mirror after your shower? Your skin looks incredible,” she insisted.
His skin looked unbelievably smooth and flawless, almost like freshly peeled egg whites – pale, soft, and glowing with a healthy
sheen.
“No.” Malrik shook his head. “I rushed out because I wanted to come back and keep you company. I didn’t pay attention to my
