Paddy, who has little resistance to being pampered, continued to change her address.
"Mom, don't worry about how my sister and I split the money."
Knowing that her mother was easily swayed and lacked her own opinions, Saifeier wrapped her tail around Pado's tail, instantly silencing Pado.
"Why don't you come with me, Mom? We can split the profits 80/20."
Batrus's eyes darted around.
The owner of the antique shop is an alchemist, and everyone around calls him "Dad." He seems to be quite something.
With my mom's good fortune, the chances of getting the goods shipped increase, and afterwards I can even sweet-talk her and ask for a bigger share.
Upon hearing this, Saifeier paused with her tail, but instead of stopping her, she nodded.
"Mom, you really haven't been exercising in a long time. You've been sunbathing all day and your bones are getting sore. You should go out and get some fresh air."
"But...but we're in the Holy City! Buying goods here would break the law. What if Caesar or Aya catch us?"
Pado isn't being cowardly... well, a little bit, but mainly she's cowardly of Caesar. Getting caught by Aya is... unacceptable!
Fei'er and Xiao Ba are one thing, but according to seniority, she is half an elder. To be tied up like a dumpling in public by Aya's golden thread is too embarrassing!
How embarrassing!
Moreover, Ohma, as the capital of the empire, is different from other city-states.
There was no need to rob the rich to help the poor in the holy city; children were in welfare homes; the law was sound; and people lived in peace and prosperity.
"What's there to be afraid of!"
"Batalus encouraged, a smug look on his face that suggested he had connections," he said.
"Even if it were discovered, would Her Majesty Empress Caesar really punish us, the heroes of the empire and guardians of the dawn, according to the law?"
Her older sister and mother are national treasures of the empire; others may not know, but she certainly does.
More than 240 years ago, when the Miracle of Dawn reached its final deadline, it was the Cat's Eye sisters who stepped in to extend the world's light to this day.
Gaga Random C.
She was mainly responsible for shouting "666" and "haha" from the sidelines, while her older sister and mother were responsible for making random comments.
In fact, the idea that Onphalus would be trapped in eternal night was prophesied long ago.
Around the year 3750 of the Light Calendar, before the Dome and the Seventh of the Third Month entered Onpharos.
Before the Titan Chephale, who had lost his radiance and turned to stone, left behind an oracle.
"My mission is coming to an end, and I shall fall into silence. The eternal night is about to begin, but for the next three hundred years, the Dawn Machine will illuminate the Holy City, awaiting the golden-blooded Son to create miracles..."
Only the high priest of the Cephale priesthood heard the final oracle.
The old priest did not have the courage to pass on the despairing prophecy and chose to conceal the truth from the people.
He only revealed the oracle to Empress Caesar on his deathbed.
But it was too late.
Because, as early as during the process of modifying the Dawn Machine, Velvi discovered its time limit, but this information has always been kept as the Empire's top secret and has never been revealed to outsiders.
At first, Velvi tried to find a solution, but after Cypher became the demigod of trickery and gained divine power over lies, she abandoned normal research.
Since things have come to this, let's just start.
It was Qiong's suggestion.
With an imperial celebration as the stage, Seifer and Phyllis together declared to the entire Ompharos that the Dawn Machine carried by Cephale would not be extinguished and would forever illuminate Ohma!
The power of lies is, in some ways, stronger than Phyllis's infinite deception, especially within Onpharos, this home turf.
Conversely, there are also considerable restrictions.
Once a lie is exposed, or if someone, even just one person, retains the correct understanding, without even saying it, the fabricated facts of the lie cannot stand.
Extremely strict.
This was no challenge for Qiong, who was adept at finding loopholes and bugs.
He gathered the only Firemoth squad that knew the truth and had Jingling temporarily separate everyone from Onpharos at the system level.
To be honest, this is not an easy task.
However, it is not difficult for Changyeyue to achieve her goal temporarily by using the [Forget] power and cooperating with Jingling.
During this time, apart from Cypher and Phyllis, no one knew the truth, and everyone believed it to be true.
Therefore, the lie is established.
The power of deception reverses reality, turning the fact that the Dawn Machine would be extinguished into 'Eternal Illumination of Onphalus'.
When the Moths, now aware of the truth, return.
This action undermines the integrity of the deception and lies; it is a vehement denial.
Phyllis's voice pierced through the divine authority of lies:
"A lie within a lie can instantly turn things upside down."
Since the lie was told by her and Saifeier together, it naturally triggered Kotoha's infinite deception.
As for Ye Wuxian's deception, the larger the base, the more intense the denial of lies, and the stronger the ability.
Cypher and Phyllis, mother and daughter, have woven the greatest conspiracy and lie in the world!
Broken lies and cause and effect are reversed and anchored.
From then on, even if the truth were to spread, the reversed lie would become an unshakable reality for Onphalus.
And then, that was it.
Vilvie and Mebius were overjoyed to discover the bug in their abilities!
I wish I could lock the two of them in the lab and have them help with experiments, or create a suitable experimental environment.
The two savior cats were almost exhausted to death.
Then, Velvet and Mebius discovered that Pado's abilities seemed to have weakened considerably. Unable to find a reason, they could only attribute it to the extreme energy consumed by reversing the greatest lie.
Only Paddo herself knew the reason; it was Phyllis's ability, and she could only use a little of her remaining strength through her body.
Because Paddo the cat is too useless.
Only then were the two cats able to escape the fate of being used as "tool cats".
The cats who had performed an unparalleled service received a generous reward from Caesar.
They ordered a mountain of gold coins, gems, and pound coins, where they rolled around, meowed, and scattered coins wildly before finally lying down on the mountain of money and falling fast asleep, completely satisfied.
That's enough fun.
They distributed 99% of their wealth to the poor, orphanages, and people in need.
The two cats who joined the Fire Moths are not short of money at all.
From then on, Pado lived the carefree life she had always dreamed of.
They have no worries about food and drink, and spend their days basking in the sun with their daughters.
Time is the most ruthless knife, but also the strongest adhesive. Over three hundred years, Batrus has become completely integrated into this family.
Not only that, Pado has also achieved many new things in her life.

Padma is living the best life ever now!
Phyllis seems to really enjoy not wanting to return to Earth.
Pado even considered giving her body to Phyllis.
This cat is willing to drown in the brilliance of the Dawn Machine!
The same goes for Sai Fei'er.
She's living her dream life now, spending every day shopping in places where nobody knows her, stocking up on goods for her mother's Phyllis store.
Going home in the evening to eat my mom's goat milk honey cakes, snuggling in bed to savor the day's achievements, and having my little sister at my beck and call—it's the kind of comfortable life even the gods would envy.
Of course, she also diligently completed the task of chasing the fire moth.
At most, I just slacked off a bit more.
Putting aside external threats, the people within the empire have long been free from worries about food and drink. The current social environment does not require the Cat-Eye Sisters to rob the rich and help the poor, and Pado has been inactive for a long time.
However, I still habitually buy more stock in my daily life because I can't resist the urge.
There was a two-second silence at the dinner table.
"Well……"
Batrus's purplish-black cat ears drooped down as she dejectedly poked at the rice in her bowl.
"Let's forget about it, sister. The group of people who were scammed by that tour group you organized last time under the guise of Lady Aglaia are still complaining. The matter hasn't been completely resolved yet... I don't want to run into Lady Aglaia's gun again at this critical juncture."
Thinking of that powerful, smiling dog wielding a golden thread, Batrus immediately chickened out.
"Since you're not going to buy the goods, why don't you come with me to play with Huizi? Mom can come too. This is finally a chance to formally introduce you two."
Saifeier, with a dried fish made by her mother and given to her by Heather, squinted her eyes happily.
"Great! Great!"
Before Batrus could reply, Pado immediately agreed.
She knew that her daughter and Caesar's teacher, the most important person in the Firemoth group, were good friends.
At first, Pado thought it was just an ordinary friend, but later she learned that Qiong was a very important person.
It was an accident that her daughter met the other party.
Pado felt that someone who could get along well with her daughter must be a very easygoing and approachable person.
Especially Fei'er's attitude towards that person made Pado suspect that her daughter might have fallen for that Qiong.
Pado felt a little uneasy.
After getting to know them better, she learned that Caesar, Titi, and Heather... all had close relationships with Qiong.
Is it really a good idea to compete with Caesar for a man?
But Pado didn't want her daughter to suffer emotionally, so she had to observe them closely to determine the nature of their relationship.
Strangely enough, Fei'er had mentioned to her many times that she wanted to visit Qiong or invite her to her home, but each time she missed the opportunity due to unforeseen circumstances.
"Then it's settled."
Saifei looked at the dried fish with satisfaction.
After the meal, the three went to the palace.
As a member of the cunning demigods, the Moths of Fire, Cypher has her own residence in the palace, which she rarely lives in, usually using it as a hideout for stolen goods.
Then came the scene of knocking on the door.
"Mother?"
"You...know each other?"
Sai Fei'er stared wide-eyed at her mother's incredulous and bewildered face, but the trembling pupils and the complex emotions within them gave Sai Fei'er a very bad premonition.
Phyllis? You know him?
Pado was also surprised by Phyllis's reaction.
"Huh? You are..."
Qiong's face showed just the right amount of surprise and confusion. When her gaze fell on Phyllis's face, she frowned, as if trying to search for distant memories.
"This feels so familiar. Have we met before?"
"you……"
