"The killer's power might already be at the level of an Angel. Even if not, it's likely they're on the verge. Otherwise, it would be impossible to kill so many of our comrades without leaving a trace in such a short time. It's no surprise that they have the protection of the Earth Mother Goddess, which renders many of the Funeral Attendant's hidden methods useless. Whether they have ties with the Earth Mother Goddess Court is hard to say, but it's almost certain they have divine protection. Moreover, they're very familiar with the situation in Hedan," Christie said.

Li Xin nodded. This means the difficulty for the Funeral Attendant to find the true culprit has dramatically increased,

"An Angel?"

"The general knowledge of Dao Yuan holds that reaching the Fifth Life Star through understanding the Divine Relic signifies a qualitative transformation for mortals. Traditional paths believe this is the threshold for mortals. Entering that moment means stepping into the realm of supernatural beings and attaining a certain degree of divinity," Christie said. "Such people might not even be called humans anymore."

"There are a lot of things I don't quite understand. Shouldn't this be the Funeral Attendant's headache?"

"So, are you still going to get involved?" Christie smiled, "Some things you might never find out until the end."

Li Xin nodded, "Actually, it doesn't matter. I mainly can't stand that guy. It's good if I can help a bit."

"Alright, from now on I'm your direct superior in this matter. You must keep this secret from everyone except me, including President Ma Zhe and Simmons, and even your friends in the Celestial Capital, top secret," Christie said, "Can you do that?"

Li Xin nodded. Christie focused on Li Xin for a while before nodding, "Our Bird Society's important mission in Hedan is to find the true culprit of the Inner Demon. This concerns the survival of the Bird Society. We don't need to take action; currently, it seems we can't handle this person's power. We need to find him, preferably obtain solid evidence."

Supernatural beings, the opening of the Fifth Life Star, each Life Star not only grants the blessing of the Divine Relic, but at the very least, enhances Spiritual Ability. The enhancement of Spiritual Ability means more powerful destructive force in either Knight combat or hidden abilities. The real watershed is the Fifth Life Star.

Li Xin had never directly confronted such beings, but he had seen them. The Immortals in the Secret Castle should also possess this level of power. How to put it, in the face of absolute power, any skill or ability seems like child's play.

"What's the definition of a Demigod, and there's a rumor that Grandmaster Vladimir is about to become a Demigod, or is already one?" Li Xin asked.

Christie shook her head, "That's an existence far stronger and more unreachable than Angels. Moreover, Grandmaster Vladimir isn't following a traditional path, but a new one. Only people from the Celestial Principle School know the level of power in that path. There are many hidden paths and a lot of unorthodox ways. It's said that the endpoint of all paths is divinity, but the traditional path is a relatively safe one that's been verified."

"I heard that Divine Relics determine the path, so doesn't this new path use Divine Relics but the Original Embryo instead?" Li Xin asked curiously.

Christie seemed relaxed, sipping on an expensive wine, and only now did her taste buds feel alive, "Precisely, Divine Relics determine the scope of the path. There might be only one, or there could be several choices, but it's indeed unlikely to walk the new path. From what I know, it's possible to use the Original Embryo, but that level is too distant."

Li Xin had gained much from this, which meant he couldn't change his path. The dice... how to say, he'd always been pondering what his path was. Initially, he wanted to choose the Knightly Path, but now it seemed he was destined for the Law Enforcer's path—a difficult one with the lowest cost-effectiveness. The biggest factor for the opening of the First Life Star was Uncle Luo, which should be related to why he got involved in the Night Patrol's mission.

The new path might not be an option anymore. Who knows if Luthor feels the same, realizing too late that there's no choice left. Li Xin felt indifferent about disappointment; life is mostly like that. If fate has chosen, then just keep going.

Seeing Li Xin's pondering expression, "Don't overthink it. It's not for you to play hero. Encountering it would lead to a dead end. The Inner Demon has already become a contest between the Bird Society and the Hedan Daily. Essentially, it's also a life-and-death struggle between the George Family and the Zheng Family. Your relationship with Simmons can provide further opportunities to get involved and obtain more intelligence. All we need to do is find this person, and if you can gather useful information, that's enough."

Unconsciously, the storm cleared, and the sound of seabirds dispersed the oppressive atmosphere. Hedan's night remained enchanting, with the ocean's roar seemingly stirring latent desires. Christie smiled, "Oh, I forgot to congratulate you. You're about to become famous. The editor's department says 'Utopia Mountain Revenge' is showing signs of a major success."

"Should we celebrate?" Li Xin sensed the uplifting atmosphere of the moment, though initiated by Christie, ultimately needed his elevation.

"Aren't we celebrating right now?" Christie winked and smiled, her eyes charming, suddenly glowing with an allure that spoke volumes.

Seductive sister!

"Would you like to see the new draft of 'Utopia Mountain Revenge' at my place? As the big manager of the Bird Society, I think you should review the first draft," Li Xin said, a moment of insight occurring to him, a move far more skilled than any backflipping cat.

"Oh, indeed, your novel is also a good weapon against Hedan Daily for us."

In truth, Christie felt a bit conflicted, but Li Xin's reasoning was compelling.

In the waiter's emerald gaze, Christie settled the bill and left with Li Xin. Watching Christie's alluring silhouette, the waiter could swear this man was an expert. Next time he should definitely ask for some tips.

The carriage clattered toward the Lirong Inn. Given there was a previous occasion, this time the atmosphere was even better. The carriage was reserved by Christie, waiting all along at the bar entrance.

The ambiance in the carriage was dreamy. They did nothing and said nothing, yet the experience was sublime. Both enjoyed this waiting game, occasionally exchanging glances, though both restrained themselves. Who knows when the carriage stopped, with Li Xin helping Christie down. At this point, Christie was a bit tipsy, leaning slightly against Li Xin, soft and warm, her S-shaped figure and fair skin the pinnacle Li Xin had ever seen.

They stepped up the stairs one step at a time, feeling their body temperatures rising and heartbeats quickening, yet both managed to endure it. Christie's occasional teasing heightened the atmosphere without going too far. The door opened.

As the door closed, passion erupted like a storm...

The draft? The seduction!

Li Xin covered Christie's mouth, leaning close to her ear, giving a light lick, "These walls aren't soundproof, you'll attract an audience."

This seductive witch had been teasing him non-stop. If he didn't retaliate, she'd think he was just a kid. Christie froze, her body tensing, this unexpected move catching her off guard, but it was already too late.

Passion intensified...

...

After the first round, having only rested for a moment, they quickly re-entered a state of intimacy, even more attuned. Christie's eyes grew increasingly bright; in their most intimate moment, she suddenly asked, "Why do you think the Inner Demon dismembers bodies?"

Bringing up such a bizarre murder case amidst passion took Li Xin by surprise. He had pondered this question too, "With his ability, it should be easy to make bodies vanish." There are certainly many ways within Hidden Power to dispose of bodies, "Could it be he doesn't care at all?"

"From what we know, there are two suspects for the real Inner Demon, one being the recent emergence. This person's methods are very clean; six years ago, a mutilated body was discovered only due to an accident. The Funeral Attendant conducted an investigation and found this body linked to a missing person's case, although similar cases involved over a hundred disappearances," Christie's excitement grew as she spoke, yet her body grew more sensitive, glistening with seductive dew, posing a significant challenge for Li Xin.

"You mean the dismemberment is something the second Inner Demon enjoys doing?" Li Xin countered relentlessly, this witch insisted on battling in bed, and he had to firmly suppress her, showing her his true colors.

Christie trembled, dripping with fragrant sweat, "Yes, ah,....." lightly biting her lips, panting, "Could there be a connection between these two demons, something more than simple mimicry?"

Li Xin recalled his judgment on Artificial Humans, "One of the Inner Demons is creating Artificial Humans, hence needing fresh innards for experiments. Which one do you think it is?"

Upon hearing this, Christie's body blushed intensely, surprised, "Are you sure?"

The Funeral Attendant and Night Patrol had suspected, but such a thing is incredibly unbelievable. Isaac wasn't dealt with because his experiment succeeded, but for blasphemy. Creating life—it seemed impossible! The gods would never allow it!

"Certain." The successive impact left Christie's mind blank, her body shuddering, entwining Li Xin like an octopus. Fearing eavesdroppers, their voices were kept low; strong breathing only heightened the passion.

A very pure night, while Hedan's night remained long...
