Seeing that it was Christie, Li Xin showed a bright smile on his face, "I was just saying that no one in the inn is this polite. Is my sister here to urge me to submit the manuscript in person?"

"Partly to urge, partly to check on the case progress." Christie replied with a smile as she entered and closed the door.

Christie wore a simple white low-cut robe, and at night, her fair skin carried a strong allure, a kind of beauty that required no adornment. Li Xin's mind heated up instantly, though he wasn't really a hot-blooded youth; he still had some self-control and courtesy.

"I have both the manuscript and the progress, which do you want first?" Li Xin said, "Something to drink? I only have water here."

"Water is fine. Let me see what's the Father's level is and also how you got Dantes out of trouble." Christie, being the first reader of the Utopia Mountain saga, was also the first reader of all the manuscripts.

Li Xin very gentlemanly pulled out a chair for Christie to sit, "Take your time, editor sis, and give me some feedback."

He then went to pour water, finding a cup he specially prepared for Christie in the cupboard. As he passed the door, he casually locked it. The Li Long Inn was undoubtedly a warm place, but sometimes these guys were too intrusive; the soundproofing was poor. Hearing through the vents was one thing, but prying open the door seam seemed like an odd custom, as not everyone had quirks like David.

Christie was intently reading the manuscript, completely engrossed in the sticky plot of Utopia Mountain. Originally, Christie had a lot on her mind, but once she entered the story, she got focused too. With flickering light, Christie crossed her legs, her skirt slightly pulled up, revealing a section of her fair and slender calf. Her body curves were like a work of art. A man's focus is very attractive, and when a woman, especially like Christie, concentrates, her charm exudes entirely. At such times, Li Xin could see the real Christie - slender shoulders, straight back, graceful posture. The outfit under her perfectly jade-like body must be flawless.

As Christie was engrossed, she suddenly found herself being lifted. She initially thought she would be taken to the bed but realized Li Xin didn't move at all. Then her skirt was lifted to her waist, and Li Xin held Christie from behind, lifting her in mid-air. Christie found it a bit unbearable. Just as she was about to ask to be taken to the bed, it came out as an intoxicating moan.

She was involved.

The perfect curves fitted together, the elasticity, and the sudden trembling were indeed somewhat shocking for both of them.

Hiss~~~

Just for a moment, Christie's will to resist was destroyed, and the manuscript in her hand scattered as her body instinctively tensed. Li Xin had no intention of putting Christie down, and even Christie's fair toes tightened, "To the bed..."

Li Xin didn't say a word, nor did he move. Christie's body was light, soft, and fragrant, and he could kind of meld her into his body.

Feeling Li Xin's roughness, Christie wrapped her arms around Li Xin's neck, the light flickering as the two of them enjoyed the most beautiful night of Hedan.

...

...

After the passion, they remained in the closest state. At this time, Christie was earnestly listening to Li Xin describe his discoveries at the Metropolitan's place and some clues from Isaac's notes. Li Xin was helpless too, as Christie seemed to particularly like talking about these trivial matters at such times.

"So you're saying Isaac wasn't just a disgruntled person, nor just a research maniac, but purposefully infiltrated the Earth Mother Goddess Court, leveraging the Church Court's power to conduct artificial human experiments?" Christie said, every step closer to the truth made her excited.

"He planned for a long time. No. 2 must have a very big plot against the Earth Mother Goddess Court, and it's likely Isaac isn't completely dead." Li Xin said, on Dao Yuan's road, there shouldn't just be two conditions of life and death.

As a Night Patrol, the matter had no personal connection to him or Christie, only causing an observer's shock. But once No. 2's plan is completed, it would certainly deal a heavy blow to the Earth Mother Goddess Court.

Maybe because of the stimulus of the event, Christie's body tensed up, her skin very sensitive with a touch of blush on snow-white skin, yet her eyes very bright, "Your insight is really good, observing Isaac's emotions from research status, but he couldn't be undying. Any Church would never let heretics and traitors get off lightly."

"I never said he was alive, just that he might not have completely disappeared. There are always some Secret Arts that can imprison the soul. From his discovery to his execution, No. 2 showed no reaction at all, seemingly watching Isaac get executed. Don't you find it odd?"

Li Xin felt a wet touch again; Hedan's humidity was indeed abundant.

"What do you mean?" Christie bit her lip, looking at Li Xin in puzzlement.

Li Xin flipped over, pressing Christie beneath him, overlooking her, "No. 2 went through so much trouble, whatever the plan against the Earth Mother Goddess Court, Isaac's artificial humans must be an incredibly crucial part. If Isaac were dead, wouldn't it all be in vain? Despite laying such a big plan, he got caught like a child, with no resistance, being executed. Of course, the Church Court must have verified his identity before executing him, but could there be more powerful spells than soul-searching arts that can preserve the soul? Although I can't understand those notes, reaching this level of technology, besides Isaac himself, probably no second person could replicate it. Over the years, No. 2 has always been active in experiments; it would be unlikely another person at Isaac's level exists, right?"

Li Xin understood scientific barriers. A genius like Isaac might be rarer than a demigod.

"If your deduction is correct, then what No. 2 is planning must be immense, but from their continuous hunts, it seems they haven't succeeded yet." Christie's long legs wrapped around Li Xin's waist.

"Creation is the hardest, and they might always lack certain conditions. That notebook is extremely important. I'll continue reading it tomorrow, maybe find even greater clues. Just at this point, do we still need to intervene in No. 2's matter? Perhaps No. 1 is the actual target?" Li Xin asked.

After all, as a worker, some things were not for him to decide. In the tug-of-war between No. 2 and the Earth Mother Goddess Court, the Night Patrol should consider the risks of getting involved.

"I remember our Hex-Tech researcher also valued the notebooks. Some things must rely on blueprints; leaving them makes it impossible. Don't know..." Christie slowly said, then both she and Li Xin were stunned.

Experiments have a level of randomness, which is why data is essential. If Isaac wasn't dead, he would definitely want it back, but if the notebook always remained with the Church Court, nobody could break in. Not even a demigod, unless the notebook left the Church Court…

This means No. 2's people are very likely to infiltrate the Earth Mother Goddess Court to seize Isaac's notebook!

In their most intimate state, with sudden changes, it was truly indescribable in that instant.

"Sister, I'll go back and take a look now!" That's what he said, but his body didn't move.

"The Great Cathedral where the Metropolitan is, though not the Church Court, is not somewhere just anyone can break into. The clergy guarding the seals are very strong; rushing in recklessly is not appropriate. Never underestimate the Earth Temple. It could also be a trap they set. If your deduction about No. 2 is correct, we need to reconsider our stance." Christie gritted her teeth, her pent-up emotions teetering on the brink of losing control.

Li Xin realized too, the Earth Temple had stood for thousands of years, needing no outsider like him. Those five clergy members didn't look easy to deal with. Gently brushing Christie's disheveled hair, "Sister, work report complete, we can rest now."

Christie coquettishly rolled her eyes at Li Xin, "Are you really going to rest though?"
