The defeated saint is also on the way to tame the evil god today

Then, her spirit body quickly retreated, and the scenery in front of her turned into lines at high speed, which was dazzling.

When Xingmo regained consciousness, he saw Aurora's sparkling blood-red eyes in the dim light.

"Are you awake?"

It took several seconds for Xingmo to realize that she was lying on Aurora's thighs.

There was a slight stinging pain on his forehead, obviously due to excessive spiritual energy consumption. Xingmo wanted to stand up, but Aurora pushed him back.

"Have a good rest. The out-of-body experience is rare."

"Well..."

Xingmo did not resist and lay peacefully on Aurora's thighs.

Aurora lifted some of Xingmo's hair and twisted it into a small curl between her fingertips.

"Even though you're a race that can't even reach the stars, the way you interact with the world is truly miraculous..."

It refers to the power of the "Dagger of Truth".

After a moment of silence, Xing Mo replied in a low voice:

"Ever since the goddess saved us with the golden light that descended from the sky during the Age of Gods, we have never stopped exploring nature, so that we can better protect ourselves and one day repay the gods."

Hearing this, Aurora chuckled, but it was unclear what the meaning was.

The little guy didn't say anything, just gently rubbed Xingmo's temple.

A man and a god sat quietly on the edge of the roof, while the street below was bustling with traffic in the south city.

......

As night fell, at the door of No. 15 Tukakankien Street in the South City Garden District, the waiter was writing on two yellow tickets.

"Let me confirm again, it's Miss Xingsheng and Miss Xingyu... right?"

The waiter looked up and saw two girls wearing yellow robes and large-framed glasses, one with a slim figure and the other petite and cute.

"Yes, it's us!" Aurora took off her glasses and winked at the waiter, looking pure and cute.

The waiter lowered his head again, stamped the yellow ticket, and handed it to Xingmo, who was obviously her elder sister:

"Your private room is ready. Please enjoy our services tonight. If you need to upgrade to a gold ticket, you can do so in the reception hall."

"I understand." Xing Mo took the yellow ticket and nodded.

After passing the reception desk, the two looked up at the door of the spa: the sunflower-shaped logo was printed with the ancient imperial language: "Sunflower".

It is business hours at this time, and many residents of Nancheng who have finished work will choose to buy a ticket to the large bathhouse in the bathhouse and relax themselves.

Many middle-class people would choose to book a room and stay overnight after soaking in the hot springs - the tickets in Xingmo and Aurora's hands were of this level.

This is the money my senior gave me to open a hotel... I didn't expect that it would be spent on similar purposes in the end... Xingmo sighed.

Of course, if you have more money, Sunflower Hot Spring also provides further services: such as Golden Gambling and Duke's Room.

Well...it's just gambling or something, one of the stereotypes of the Imperials.

"Let's go, we're really looking forward to taking a hot spring bath." Aurora patted Xingmo's butt, with a happy light in her eyes like a little squirrel that found a pine cone.

"Don't forget our goal tonight," Xingmo grabbed Aurora's hand and squeezed it. "We're looking for the source of the curse."

......

5) Gold (Part 7)

Sunflower Hot Spring Bath can be regarded as one of the top leisure places in Nancheng District. The overall concept is resort-oriented, and it is very particular from decoration to planning.

After passing through the gate, what comes into view is a hall made of white marble. Golden starlight flows on the ceiling, casting star-like light on the fountain in the center of the hall.

The fountain was stepped, and under the influence of string magic, the water formed vine patterns in the air, surrounding the marble statue in the center of the fountain.

The stone statue had broad shoulders, its palms joined in the shape of bird wings before its chest. He wore a wide robe and a mask resembling a bird of prey. Golden light streamed across the white marble, outlining his molten-gold eyes.

The "Golden King" Ugaen Tukakankion was the emperor who ruled the Machiavelli Empire for a hundred years.

Beneath his majestic statue, a smaller statue is kneeling: it also wears a mask shaped like a bird of prey, but looks much more hunched.

"That's Prince Austin," Xingmo whispered, "He never hides his admiration for his brother."

"It looks like a puppy." Aurora said without hesitation.

The imperial men in yellow robes nearby cast angry glances at her. Aurora glared back fearlessly, while Xingmo quickly pulled her master forward.

"Don't mess with the imperialists. Their worship of the royal family is almost fanatical. They are numerous and powerful throughout the entire South City, especially in the area around Tukakankian Street. You will get into trouble." Xing Mo advised kindly.

"Oh~" Aurora agreed and secretly turned back to stick out her tongue at the imperials.

The two entered the women's bathhouse, took off their outer clothes and changed into bathrobes in the marble dressing room hung with oil paintings.

After changing, they walked through the locker room door and into the public bath.

What hits your face is warm water vapor, which is cozy and reminds you of the rainy season in summer.

The entire public bathhouse is built in the open air, and the terrain has basically maintained its original appearance except for necessary decorations: hot springs are arranged irregularly, some can accommodate more than a dozen people, and some can only accommodate two or three people.

At this moment, white bodies are playing in the hot spring. The girls are splashing water with laughter, while the women are leaning quietly by the pool with their eyes closed.

“Ah… It feels so good… I feel cleansed…”

"Mom, I told you to come here more often. The spring water here is blessed by the goddess..."

"Thank you for the gift of the goddess..."

It was obvious that everyone who was soaking in the hot springs was enjoying themselves very much, and the entire hot spring bathing area was peaceful.

Aurora's eyes sparkled as she swallowed softly at the sight.

“Feeling...feeling so comfortable...”

She turned her head and looked at her little saint:

"Hurry up! Let's go too...eh?"

When Aurora's eyes fell on Xingmo's face, she found that this guy was covering his face.

Almost instantly, Aurora instinctively put on a sly smile.

"Little Saint, this isn't your first time in a women's bathhouse, is it?"

"You're talking nonsense!" Xing Mo refused to move her hands away from her face, "You can't look... You can't look... It's impolite..."

"Hey~ What's so rude about that? You've seen me so many times~" Aurora tugged at the hem of Xingmo's bathrobe, "Let's go, didn't you say you wanted to get down to business?"

"You...you take me over there, I still don't want to watch..." Xingmo said in a low voice.

"No, no, you are a girl now, you need to integrate into the same group as others as soon as possible."

Aurora pulled at Xingmo's clothes for a long time, but this guy refused to move his hand away no matter what.

She puffed up her cheeks in anger and was about to use the "Tree of Life" mark to help Xingmo grow up, but she just sighed slightly:

"Okay, okay, let's take you over there."

Thus, a strange scene appeared in the bathhouse: a little white-haired girl was pulling a young girl along the stone path between the hot springs. The former was angry and the latter was blushing.

There were comments from the crowd: "Such a pretty girl is still shy."

Xingmo:......

After walking for a few minutes, when they were farther and farther away from the crowd, Aurora patted Xingmo:

"Here we are, there's no one here anymore."

Xingmo opened her eyes and saw a very small hot spring in front of her, which could probably only accommodate 2-3 people.

There were hardly any people around this hot spring. Xing Mo looked around twice before taking off her bathrobe and quickly diving into the hot spring.

"Wooooow! It's hot!"

The slightly hot spring water stimulates the skin, followed by ultimate relaxation.

As the steam rose, Xingmo took a deep breath of hot air, then exhaled comfortably:

"Well..."

Before she could enjoy it for a few seconds, Aurora leaped up and crashed into the hot spring—

"thump--"

"Ah! Don't!"

"Pfft hahaha~"

Amidst the splashing water, Aurora poked her head out of the water and shook off the water quickly like a puppy, splashing Xingmo all over her face.

"Stop messing around," Xingmo wiped the water off her face and held down Aurora, who was about to freestyle. "Finish your work first, then you can play around."

"Ah? Oh, yeah..."

Aurora calmed down a bit, floating up and down in the water, her long pure white hair not tied up, just floating on the water.

Seeing that she had calmed down a lot, Xing Mo activated the "Tree of Life" mark on the back of his hand and opened his spiritual vision.

According to previous conventions, there is a high probability that there is a "curse" hidden in the hot spring.

However, when Xingmo looked at the hot spring, the entire spring was grayish white.

"No curse...?"

Just as Xingmo was wondering, Aurora pointed directly below:

"Look more carefully, there is indeed no curse, but..."

Looking in the direction of Aurora's finger, Xing Mo couldn't help but take a breath.

Through the spiritual vision granted by the "Tree of Life", Xingmo saw the string magic circle carved at the bottom of the hot spring.

The string magic circle was flashing with green light. The outside was a complex circle, and the inside was a tree carved with twisted patterns.

It was a "tree of life."

"This... How can this be..."

Xingmo looked up at Aurora, then at the string formation on the hot spring rocks.

Without Aurora's explanation, Xingmo realized the function of this string magic circle: absorption.

As Xingmo spent longer and longer time in the hot spring, she felt her negative emotions gradually being removed: fatigue, anxiety, and even shyness when entering the women's bathing area.

All these emotions were absorbed into the string magic circle under his feet. If it weren't for the mark that resonated with the "Tree of Life", even the most outstanding wizard would probably find it difficult to discover the secrets hidden in the hot spring at a glance.

They are absorbing people's negative emotions, still using the mark of the "Tree of Life".

At this time, Xing Mo heard sparse voices coming from not far away:

"Huh... Let's stop here for today. I feel like I'll be energetic all day tomorrow..."

"How about tomorrow after work?"

"The day after tomorrow, haha... I can't transfer the funds, but I really can't leave Sunflower... This place is simply paradise..."

Listening to those ordinary and soothing sentences, Xingmo's expression gradually became stiff.

She soaked in the warm spring water, but felt a bone-chilling chill crawling up her spine.

......

5) Gold (Part 8)

In the next half hour, Xingmo used various methods to analyze the "Tree of Life" string array, trying to find its true purpose.

But no matter what she did, the results didn't seem ideal.

Apart from the fact that the purpose of this string formation is "absorption", Xingmo could not figure out more.

After all, this formation involves the "String of Life", which is not only illegal in the Citadel, but there is also no ready-made knowledge about it.

Whoever drew these magic circles was a first-rate wizard.

The "Saint" level is not enough, perhaps it is the "Demigod" of Baxian, but there is only one such person in the entire academy, Principal Merlin, and he is not in the academy at all.

Xingmo was distressed, while Aurora was leisurely soaking in the hot spring, humming some off-tune tunes from time to time.
