"Alright, I've finished setting this up. Lynette, let's go back."

A handsome boy wearing a magician's hat and gorgeous clothes greeted the little girl who had just finished her work.

The little girl was wearing a shapely short dress with an open neckline at the chest and black stockings covering her thighs. She had a pair of cat ears on her head and was looking at the boy with a blank and cute expression.

"Okay, initiating energy-saving mode."

Lynette covered her chest and lowered her head as she spoke.

They then returned to Fontaine together.

Temporary shelter...

"Cough cough, it seems I still need to be careful. My current strength is not enough to refine a physical body. However, I have learned a new skill in this manual. If I ever encounter danger and perish, I can escape through my soul and return to another body to ensure my safety."

Zhao Chuan muttered to himself, unaware that the door had been opened. When Linni and Linette returned home, they saw a strange man sitting on the sofa.

"who are you?"

Linni shielded Lynette behind him, a magnificent bow and arrow appearing in his hand, and asked warily.

"Hey, I understand your wariness, but please put your weapons away, otherwise, how can I speak to you, kid?"

Zhao Chuan turned around and looked at the two people in front of him gently.

“Sir, this is not your home. You got in like this.”

Linni ignored Zhao Chuan's words and asked a question instead.

"Alright, don't get agitated. I mean no harm. I'm just a witness, the eighth seat of the Fools' Executive Officer, 'Young Man'."

Zhao Chuan waved his hand helplessly and said.

"The eighth seat!"

Linnie and Lynette exchanged glances, recalling their father's words to them about the new executive officer as he passed away.

"Alright, what brings you to my home?"

Linni breathed a sigh of relief, slowly put away his weapon, and relaxed his tense state of alertness before asking a question.

"Talk to your father about whether you can stay temporarily during the mission."

Zhao Chuan made no attempt to conceal his purpose.

"this?"

After listening, Linnie looked at Lynette and pondered.

After all, she hadn't figured out the executive's habits, and she was worried that he might harm Linette and Fimini. If he did, she would risk her life to protect his home.

"I've heard that the children of the Fireplace House love their home very much. As for me, I'm new here and a guest, so I don't have anything to give you. I have a box of milk here, I don't know if you would like it."

Zhao Chuan handed a carton of milk to Linette with a grin, and before Linette could react, he returned to the sofa.

"This! Brother."

Lynette looked at her brother helplessly.

"Since things have come to this, Uncle, you can stay here for a while until Father returns."

Linni readily accepted, but he had some concerns and wanted to observe the situation further to at least rule out any risks.

"What about my room?"

Zhao Chuan's lips curled into a faint smile. Although the mask concealed his eyes, Lin Ni felt her unease gradually dissipate from his gentle expression and tone, as if she had found a sense of comfort and support. Zhao Chuan's voice was as warm as a spring breeze, carrying a reassuring power that gradually relaxed Lin Ni's tense nerves.

"There's another guest room there; if we tidy it up, it should be habitable."

Linni looked around and then pointed to a corner at the back.

"Thank you."

After thanking him, Zhao Chuan walked towards the room.

"Uncle, I have a magic show to perform. Would you be interested in joining me?"

Lin Ni quickly called out to Zhao Chuan, who was about to leave, and walked up to him, asking with a slightly worried expression.

He pondered to himself that he was about to take the stage and begin his performance, but at this moment, only Fimini was left at home. He was really worried about leaving him alone in a room with this eighth executive whose strength was still unknown.

Linni couldn't help but worry. He knew that Fimini was innocent and unsuspecting, and the executive officer was unfathomable; no one could predict what might happen when the two were alone. Thinking of this, Linni felt that keeping Zhao Chuan by his side might be safer, at least ensuring the safety of the home. Therefore, he made up his mind to ask Zhao Chuan for permission.

As Lin Ni spoke her last sentence, she deliberately lowered her voice, a hint of pleading in her eyes. It was as if she hoped to move Zhao Chuan and make him understand that his concerns were not unfounded. However, faced with Lin Ni's request...

Zhao Chuan didn't think that far ahead. He wasn't that cunning. He just wanted to play or cultivate. Since this little Lin Ni had brought it up, he couldn't very well refuse.

"Okay, where and what time? I'll definitely be there."

Zhao Chuan nodded and said.

"At the Obi-Clay Opera House, we can take the cruise ship to Iriye Island tomorrow, and then just follow the route. It'll be nine o'clock tomorrow, Uncle."

Linni's lips curled slightly as he spoke softly, his voice carrying an unwavering strength that was impossible to ignore. His deep eyes gleamed, seemingly concealing boundless wisdom and resolve.

"Okay, I understand. It's getting late, go and get some rest."

Zhao Chuan spoke expressionlessly, his voice so cold it seemed as if ice shards could fall from it.

His eyes were empty and deep, making it impossible to fathom his true thoughts. After saying this, he turned and walked slowly toward his room.

Each step seemed so light and elegant, yet it carried an indescribable sense of majesty and oppression.

When he reached the door, he gently reached out and grasped the doorknob, then slowly turned it, pushing the door open. After entering the room, he did not immediately sit or lie down to rest, but went straight to the window and quietly gazed at the scenery outside.

A moment later, Zhao Chuan took a deep breath, removed his mask, tied his long white hair tightly with a ribbon, closed his eyes, adjusted his breathing, and began to enter a meditative state. As time passed, his body was gradually enveloped in a faint light, and his aura became increasingly steady and profound…

"This...why does his tone suddenly feel so cold? He's such a strange person."

Linni muttered under her breath, looking at Zhao Chuan's indifferent tone.

The next morning, Linni and his sister went out early, while Zhao Chuan also began to stroll around Fontainebleau.

The city walls were off-white, the architecture was neat and clean, the streets were paved with white marble, and people were busy with their own things.

On the streets of the city, he also saw robots he had never seen before, tall and slender, like steel giants.

At first glance, one can sense the dangerous aura emanating from these lifeless robots, as if they were a group of silent guardians, quietly protecting this advanced city, or perhaps a hidden danger.

Arriving at a plaza, a bright sphere floated in the center, surrounded by an iron ring, with a spray-painted area below. Zhao Chuan looked on curiously; everything here was far more unusual than in his own world.

Before long, they arrived at the elevator. Standing inside, they were stumped. They didn't know how to use it. After looking at it for a while, they found it troublesome. They then focused their spiritual energy and instantly arrived near the patrol ship.

"Looks like I need to take a good look at the machine manuals for this city, otherwise I'll be like a caveman."

Zhao Chuan shook his head and muttered helplessly.

When the patrol boat arrived, Zhao Chuan boarded it with a sense of novelty. After a while, the boat set sail. Zhao Chuan looked at the scenery in the distance and used the power of water to make the boat move slowly on the water along this special route.

"It really is a country of water, but I can't feel the warmth of water here, and the system hasn't given me any missions. How strange."

Zhao Chuan gazed at the scenery, contemplating the flow of elemental energy within his body.

"Previously, it was because I felt the call of the grass elemental power in Sumeru that the grass elemental affinity returned to my body. This time, I couldn't resonate with the water element in Fontainebleau. Don't the people of Fontainebleau feel that their city is in danger? Or is there a very strong presence in this city? The grass elemental resonance is because the people there need to make a wish, and the rock element is because the Rock Emperor affirmed me."

Zhao Chuan raised his hands, gathering two different elemental forces. This was the authority of the demon god, the affirmation of mortals' faith, and the fulfillment of their desires. This would allow him to gain the approval of the elemental god of that region and increase his affinity.

"Never mind, I'll take another look."

Zhao Chuan dispersed his elemental energy and stared blankly at the horizon. No one knew what he was thinking... Perhaps he was homesick...

On a patrol boat not far away, Ying and Paimon were having breakfast and chatting.
