That night, Li Xin drank a lot. He had trained Simmons to become someone who could match Thunder Duke Didia, unconsciously winning over everyone at the Saint Grace Canon Law School. In Moncalleta, there was no shortage of powerful individuals, and being strong oneself wasn't truly strong; making others strong was the true strength. Whether it was Rock, who could persist, or Lancer, who couldn't hold on much, all admired Li Xin from the bottom of their hearts. When the duel was decided, they all thought it was the end for Simmons and for them. But now, it seems it's the end for Thunder Duke. Who would have dared to think of such a thing before?

Li Xin's alcohol tolerance was good, but what got people drunk was never the drink. Celestia was definitely the main instigator, with her sexy hot dance and the crowd's enthusiasm making one forget they were in a foreign land. In the end, it was Balakli and Rock who carried Li Xin back to the Lirong Inn.

As for men, they tend to be a bit rough, so Li Xin didn't mind and just fell asleep directly, dreaming without worries.

But there was something strange...

Just as Li Xin was sleeping comfortably, the dice started to roll, releasing a warning sign. It felt like something was invading. Perhaps due to his unique situation, whenever there was a dream, he would be exceptionally "aware." To differentiate, Li Xin even thought of various methods to locate his state.

In what seemed like a trance, Li Xin felt something watching him, like a pair of eyes from the void world. This sensation grew clearer as those eyes drew nearer, and a faint voice, distant yet present, reached his ears. Li Xin awoke with a start; he arrived at Dao Yuan. The Immortals in the Secret Castle, though frightening in appearance and indifferent to life and death, weren't filled with murderous intent. They were like machines executing their task, focused only on fitting the right Divine Relic into a suitable body. It wasn't until he encountered something beneath the mist that he felt a strong sense of hostility.

"Finally... found... you..."

That distant voice gradually became clearer. Was the other party trying to invade his dream?

Li Xin folded his hands, using the Immovable Ming King Seal, making everything clearer. The dream itself felt like it had an invisible protective barrier covered with transparent writhing worm-like things. The number of these things was increasing. Anyone with trypophobia would have a fit. These worm-like creatures were biting, releasing mist from their mouths.

Li Xin dared not be careless; he continued with the Inner Binding Seal, "Formation!"

With the application of the Inner Binding Seal, those worms immediately lost their target to bite, becoming aimless. Meanwhile, the worms started to boil as if something was scorching them, and they were quickly swept away, despite their threatening presence.

"You... can't escape..."

A voice, mixed with unwillingness and anger, came again. Li Xin frowned; the thing burning the worms wasn't his power, and it felt unmatchable strong.

Remaining cautious, Li Xin waited for a while longer, found no additional danger, and with the dice returning to calm, he relaxed and gradually fell back asleep. He wasn't being careless; it's just that scaring himself was the most frightening thing. To deal with hidden powers, one had to take things as they came, eat when hungry, and sleep when tired.

Chirp chirp... Cluck cluck~~~

On the bed, Li Xin, in his big shorts, lay sprawled, clearly not well-rested. The sun outside was bright, and he'd slept until noon. The birds' sounds were like an untimely alarm clock. Li Xin shook his head, feeling a splitting headache. Ever since receiving the Holy Land's replenishment, he hadn't felt this discomfort in a long time.

Holding his head, he stood up, poured himself a glass of water, gulped it down, patted his head, and opened the window. The scorching sunlight on his body dispelled the chill and gradually warmed him up. The headache eased a bit.

That ghostly thing beneath the Holy Land had tracked him down. Damn it, he wondered how Simmons was doing. If Simmons was fine, then the Metropolitan surely didn't exert pressure on him. To have been tracked like this, he needed a chapel baptism. Whether it's the Earth Mother Goddess or the Moon God, he needed blessings.

What exactly were the places and creatures below the fog?

Was the fog serving as a barrier?

Could it be possible that the fog was actually a protection for humanity? The power of the monsters there was beyond imagination. It wasn't on the same level, and the power level of his dice beneath the fog also differed from now.

The Divine Relics could absorb some kind of power in the Holy Land, allowing them to be used without burden to the body. Was it because of killing those Lickers, or just the Holy Land itself?

Li Xin currently leaned towards the latter; the connection between the Divine Relics and the Holy Land was visibly closer. In the fog, the Divine Relics worked even smoother, indicating a more significant connection between them and the fog.

His brain twitched a little. The reason he could make these judgments was essentially because he came from another world. His thinking wasn't constrained. But even so, the analysis seemed useless as it didn't solve any problems. His real issue now was having some negative power, and he needed a way to remove it. He didn't want to be targeted by any ghostly thing. He didn't have enough clout to invite the Metropolitan's help. It seemed he still had to rely on Master Simmons. The master's child was precious.

These things weren't without value; he could at least trade them for something with Mr. Cancer, at the very least to provoke him a bit. There was always some gain to be had, Li Xin thought.

Grr grr

Li Xin rubbed his stomach. Damn, he was starving. He got dressed to resolve breakfast and lunch together. As he opened the door, he sensed an unusual atmosphere. Dragon Mother's big face was right in front of him, looking as if she wanted to say something but was hesitant.

"Dragon Mother, you're scaring me to death by standing at my door like that,"

"Oh, my dear Master Li, you've finally woken up. I've been standing here until my legs are sore." Dragon Mother was about to shout but immediately raised her voice in a sweet tone.

Li Xin got goosebumps in an instant, "Dragon Mother, let's speak properly. What's going on? Did Simmons arrive?"

At this moment, Dragon Mother's face blushed slightly, "It's not Master Simmons. It's a most honorable, the most, most honorable figure waiting for you downstairs. Young Master, although I knew you were extraordinary, I never imagined you were this extraordinary,"

Dragon Mother continued in a raised tone.

Li Xin couldn't handle it, "Dragon Mother, if you keep this up, I'll move out. Who's here now?"

This was simply a nuclear weapon, on the same level as a nightmare.

"Heavens! It's our Moncalleta's most handsome, most honorable, most magnificent Prince Achilles, oh my, so handsome. I've never seen a more handsome person, oh oh," Dragon Mother's excitement was almost making her cry, though her voice wasn't as loud as before. You could see she was trying hard to contain herself; her legs were trembling. The higher voice was moving below.

"Dragon Mother, don't overthink it. Prince is only asking about Simmons,"

"Oh, oh, my Goddess, oh oh, is it really the Prince? I knew when I saw him first time, his sun-like radiant smile, so unparalleled, those noble eyes, that god of love-like face, oh, I'm in love..."

Earlier, someone came to find Li Xin. As a joke, anyone could find Master Li? Dragon Mother initially thought it was for Utopia Mountain's vendettas, thus ignored it. Lately, there'd been several trying to dig around. But thinking it over, without countering rumors, the little god of luck might flee. The person showed Dragon Mother the token and called her out. There was a carriage outside, marked with the Golden Tree. And then, saw that handsome young man saying not to wake Li Xin, just inform after waking.

Dragon Mother didn't care much initially, considering the weight of Master Simmons was heaviest in her heart. But after returning, the more she thought, the more something felt off—the Golden Tree mark was exclusive for royal lineage. In Hedan, the royal family, blood prince, dukes with Ola lineage, marquesses... but such a handsome, approachable person possibly could only be Prince Achilles.

Li Xin was speechless, testing himself. "Dragon Mother, I'm just kidding. Where is he?"

Dragon Mother watched Li Xin, who's like a mascot, with a small grin, "Outside, on the coach, marked with a Golden Tree. Go ahead."

Wearing slippers, Li Xin clapped his steps downstairs, still feeling Dragon Mother's fervent gaze on his back. It seemed Master Simmons no longer held appeal.
