Not to mention the problem of throwing a mouse while fearing the vessel, the air in the room has always been filled with a faint aura—cold, slippery, resembling a snake. It was clearly a spacious living room, yet it felt as if the entire space was filled with some kind of presence.

This is not an illusion. In a realm invisible to the naked eyes of ordinary people, a gigantic White Viper snakes around, its long body sprawled across the entire living room like a water pipe...

Cold, yet languid, lazily as if it were motionless...

This is the Divine Spirit of the White Viper, also the Prison Guard that constantly watches over Visakha... Even if she could eliminate the presence of the Divine Spirit, nothing would change. It would only alert Gu Mo, who is out, at the first moment. In that case, the safety of her Divine Artifacts would be hard to assure.

So all she could do was stay here obediently, unable to do anything.

"What is it really..." Visakha looked at the motionless White Snake, feeling that the snake itself seemed like an independent incarnation of the Gods, very unlike what she initially thought was a common human soul turned Divine Artifact.

—Divine Artifacts inherently possess multiple forms and are not limited to the general concept of weaponry. Her Qun Ba, for instance, is in a lion form, serving as her Riding Beast and a sidekick in battle.

Moreover, some Divine Artifacts can be in weapon forms like swords but also transform into beast-like forms. They can switch between different forms as needed... There are existing precedents for this. For instance, Yato's Fei Artifact is such.

Thus, when Visakha previously faced the Snake-shaped Sword, she thought likewise and did not suspect anything.

But now, she vaguely felt something was off.

Coupled with this Demon being extremely peculiar, she couldn't figure out whether he had fallen into becoming a Demon or had always been a Demon, merely disguised in a false skin... Whether he's a God or a Demon is truly a question worth discussing.

"Zhao Ma... Are you still doing the same thing tonight?"

Looking at her most trusted Wishing Artifact and Dao Mark, the Golden-haired Valkyrie seriously asked.

"Yes, Visakha-sama..." The glasses-wearing young man sighed in exhaustion, his face full of helplessness and a wry smile. The entire day had been spent doing nothing different from previous days, with no particular issues noticed, even he couldn't make sense of what was going on.

"Nothing special happened? I saw that guy seemed particularly happy today..." Visakha felt somewhat puzzled, recalling that guy's playful demeanor recently, which couldn't help but irk her.

However, this behavior is also noteworthy—what exactly did he encounter to appear so cheerful tonight...

Perhaps understanding this key point could help decipher many things that puzzled her?

"I... I don't know. Compared to before, there doesn't seem to be any significant difference. Maybe I didn't notice, Visakha-sama..." Zhao Ma earnestly recalled but ultimately couldn't provide any valuable clues, so he could only shake his head in guilt.

"Is that so..." The Golden-haired Valkyrie furrowed her eyebrows but did not blame Zhao Ma.

She knew Zhao Ma was much more meticulous than herself and would certainly notice such matters. If even he hadn't discovered anything, it might indicate that this wasn't the case, or perhaps the Demon had concealed it well, preventing Zhao Ma and the others from seeing.

......

"Level 10, huh..."

Gu Mo in his bedroom, standing before the large mirror of the wardrobe, opened his Attribute Panel, expressing such sentiment.

Thanks to these few days of rigorous effort, extracting the labor force of the exploited workers resulted in his Life Level increasing by two levels, currently reaching Level 10... The efficiency isn't particularly fast, but considering the inherent difficulty of leveling up as one progresses, requiring increasingly vast experience, it's quite impressive.

It's apparent how diligently Visakha's Divine Artifacts worked for him—

Although they seemed outwardly hostile, never showing a kind face to Gu Mo and secretly cursing him, none of them slacked off. And under Gu Mo's incentive policy of allowing those who slay the most monsters on the day to visit their sequestered master...

Although they appeared united in enmity, many were covertly competing with one another... This indeed indicates that most are loyally devoted, and equally regard their caring master as dearest. However, they are truly easy to manipulate.

Under such high work efficiency, even the workhorse of the collective farm would shed tears of shame, so just being secretly cursed a few times doesn't make Gu Mo feel it's worth dwelling on... As long as they maintain such high work efficiency, continually bringing in substantial benefits for him—

Then no matter who the boss is, they would be invariably forgiving about being cursed.

The Reward Points for reaching LV10 were still used to enhance the Spiritual attribute, including the points from the previous level-up reward being allocated similarly, hence Gu Mo's Spiritual attribute now leads with as many as 16 Points... Because each point provides incredibly powerful amplification, strengthening to this extent is naturally very robust.
