Main house dining room.

Without the presence of the Family Head, there wasn't much formality.

The deformed butler with the appearance of an Elephant Man served the dishes one by one. Although meticulously prepared, many were hodgepodges, made from strange ingredients gathered from the back mountain.

Gust didn't mind; he hadn't eaten such processed food in a long time.

During his captivity underground, he relied on the influence of his spread to have tongue insects from the forest deliver some fruits down to him, occasionally getting lucky with a nearby corpse and having a meal of meat.

At the dining table,

the hostess revealed her normal left eye structure, watching the white-haired man in front of her as memories and emotions continuously surged within her.

Luo Di also perceived a slight anomaly and didn't say much, merely focusing on eating.

Just as the hostess was about to say something, Gust suddenly spoke: "Are you still following human norms and choosing to marry in the Corner?"

"Yes, I've always longed for a home, a fixed place to live. I wonder if Mr. Tongue remembers? When I cooperated with you during the videotape incident, I mentioned this."

"Oh... it seems you did."

The hostess continued: "After the video tape incident, I was gravely injured. Before I could digest what I had gained, a troublesome group targeted me.

During my escape, I happened to meet my current husband, who saved me."

Gust, sucking on a beef tongue, made strange noises through his nose, "Are there good people like that in the Corner?"

"He saved me by accident, and I almost died at his hands.

He belongs to a very special kind of monster, different from any I've seen. After some time together, we decided to start a family and put down roots in the Corner.

At the end of the incident, I had planned to invite you, Mr. Tongue, to come along... but you disappeared without a trace."

Gust finished sucking on the beef tongue and then moved on to suck on an elephant tongue, sucking with such force that he twitched slightly, remembering something.

"Oh! I pretended to run away immediately back then, but actually, I was stealthily following the question mark.

After all, his tongue is the most mysterious, and even thinking about it now, I can't resist the urge. Someday I'll taste that tongue of his."

The hostess simply smiled slightly; she had expected as much.

The man before her was the same then as he was now.

Even during the cooperation in the videotape incident, it was all because of tongues.

His only love was tongues, even his brain was full of tongues, with no other thoughts.

"Mr. Tongue, you helped me a lot during the videotape incident. Without you, I would have died in there, unable to start a family or give birth to Lebeite.

After my husband and I established this Invisible Manor, I thought about looking for you to invite you here so I could thank you in person, but I couldn't find you again.

Occasionally, I heard rumors about tongues, but I found nothing when I went to investigate."

Having just finished the elephant tongue, Gust picked up two pig tongues and stuffed them into his mouth, but he also caught on to a key piece of information from the conversation.

"Birth? You gave birth to a life in the Corner?"

"Yes... a born monster, adapted to the Corner environment from birth. His future is limitless; he is my most perfect son."

Gust's expression immediately changed, with the tongues in his mouth writhing the pig tongues together, "Since Aiser, you want to thank me, why don't you let me have a taste of your son's tongue?"

The hostess, who had been reminiscing and harbored old affections for the white-haired man, suddenly changed her expression, directly hurling a plate at him.

Her deep brown hair began to lift, and her asymmetrical body structure fully revealed itself.

"Mr. Tongue, you mustn't touch my son, not even a single hair."

Gust deftly caught the plate with his fingers and gently placed it back on the table. After a slight nod, the hostess slowly calmed down.

Yet in the depths of Gust's tongue-clad brain, the name Lebeite was already imprinted.

After tea and meals,

Gust recounted in detail his time being sealed, and the hostess listened with great interest while Luo Di naturally didn't want to hear the story a second time.

He could tell the hostess's feelings toward Mr. Tongue were more of gratitude and respect, always maintaining a certain distance.

Luo Di excused himself early, citing a need to visit the restroom.

Following the palm vortex's sensation, he quickly found a teleportation chamber within the mansion, with a huge vortex mark drawn on the floor, suggesting it could lead directly to Vortex Town.

Bored,

he sat down at the door, contemplating encounters during this journey and recalling that ambush.

"Mia's warning was entirely correct; the Carnivorous Family's strength far surpassed any mature monsters I've encountered.

Even the Fish Man, who matured as a plant and received comic support, was no match for him.

This also explains something; even though comics can greatly enhance abilities, pure Corner monsters are not necessarily inferior.

Set aside the Carnivorous Family, even the likes of Gust, a 'father' type being, might not be inferior to those who acquire comics in the same tier.

The Corner's system must be one of the top-tier systems across many worlds, possibly even transcending world boundaries.

Given that Gust, as a demon derived from the Corner, could independently interpret important runes in the Hell World, it's an astonishing feat.

When I mature, I must surely slay that Joker... However, come to think of it, that Joker didn't reveal many tactics during the ambush.

The mist was one, and he perfectly merged it with his balloon characteristics.

Once exposed in the mist, any opening on an individual's body would be identified as an [inflation hole] and forcibly pumped with air.

His escape and stealth capabilities were on another level.

Despite being marked with gray and continuously illuminated by moonlight, I couldn't detect his approach and ambush.

I must further enhance my killing techniques and master completely lethal methods to deny him any escape opportunity."

The more he thought, the more agitated Luo Di became.

Especially when he recalled Crow Colt's death in that battle, the memory of death brought back past events.

His killing intent even began to take form, as if a masked shadow was standing right beside Luo Di.

When he heard approaching footsteps, instinctively he drew his bat, ready to swing.

"Planning to kill me?"

"Mom! Weren't you downstairs chatting?" Luo Di instantly woke up, suppressing his killing intent.

"Gust seems to have eaten a bit too much and is resolving the accumulated waste in his body. He mentioned that you were ambushed on your way over, involving the Outer Realm, and it was not far from the Invisible Manor?"

"Yes."

"Need Mom to find someone for you?"

"No need, you're already busy guarding here, plus you need to watch over the Dungeon. I'll handle this myself, and I've already joined Vortex Town, the organization will assist me."

"Hmm... I'm mainly here to ask you something.

Lebeite followed you to the Human World for the first time, was everything alright? He wasn't negatively influenced or led astray, was he?"

During the questioning, Luo Di could feel the asymmetrical Magic Cube Eye watching him.

Luo Di quickly recalled Lebeite's appearance during their last farewell and simultaneously remembered a sentence he said, quickly translating it through his brain:

"Lebeite achieved a remarkable brain enhancement over in the Human World."

"So quickly adapted and grew? That's great! His development is different from ours... The more he understands the human body, the closer he gets to perfection.

Thanks to you this time, if there's anything you want, you can tell Mom."

"Okay."

Just then, Gust also arrived, a bit embarrassed, saying, "Aiser~ Sorry, I ate a bit too much and clogged your toilet! I'll need to trouble you to clean it later, I'll go with Luo Di now."

The hostess's gaze changed a bit, looking at the other party with far less initial warmth, but with more disdain.

...

Palm aimed at the Array in the house.

Luo Di's identity was verified, and the organizational space connection quickly formed.

Due to Luo Di maintaining physical contact with Gust, after another type of verification was completed, they were teleported together.

[Vortex Town – Fourth Middle School]

After a rather uncomfortable feeling of bodily stirring, the teleportation led directly inside the school, specifically right in front of the teacher's office.

Teacher Guo was already waiting here; he seemed to know in advance there would be "distinguished guests" today.

"Teacher Guo, this is the monster related to tongues I mentioned earlier, Mr. Gust."

Luo Di proactively stood in the middle for the introduction, but after it was completed, the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.

Drip!

A sound of liquid falling resonated, Luo Di already realized something, and out of the corner of his eye saw a puddle of hot saliva just fallen on the ground.

Just as he instinctively wanted to intervene, Gust lunged towards Teacher Guo.

With blinding speed,

In an instant, he was already close,

Just as he was about to grasp the other's tongue... the entire office seemed to twist.

Teacher Guo instantly appeared in the opposite corner, with no one where Gust was grabbing.

Clap clap!

The tongue rolled up and slapped against the body, making a sound similar to clapping.

"Very good, very good~ This is the new generation of monsters? Very resourceful, your tongue is a species I've never seen before.

I've decided to stay here. I have great expertise in biology, I'll take on the biology class, I'm sure the students will like it."

Teacher Guo again shifted position, handing a document to the other party.

"Thanks for joining us, Mr. Gust. The teacher rules, accommodation information, and work arrangements are all in here, you can take them back to the dormitory and review carefully.

If everything checks out, you only need to sign the last page with your pituitary secretion fluid, and you'll be officially one of us.

If there's nothing else, you can leave now."

Standing in the middle, Luo Di hadn't even reacted yet, yet the two had already established cooperation, much smoother than he expected.

Clap!

Gust's soft-touch hand landed on Luo Di's shoulder, "Let's go, don't disturb Teacher Guo's rest."

"Oh."

Gust proactively took Luo Di away, quickly leaving the teaching building and the school.

Teacher Guo quietly perceived all this, then returned to his original workstation.

Upon confirming the two had left, he took a mirror from the upper right corner of the desk, examining his somewhat uncomfortable tongue.

Suddenly,

Drip!

A drop of saliva unexpectedly landed on his shoulder.

He adjusted the mirror towards the ceiling,

A black demon with a human body and tongue head was crouched there,

Madly licking the surrounding air, licking his own skin, erasing his sense of presence.

Who knew due to Teacher Guo's tongue being too unique, he couldn't resist and dripped saliva.
