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

　This shows that Arya must be special... otherwise why would a high dark elf know of her existence?

　Phonograph...

　"Why are you still sleeping..."

　Could it be...

　Ms. Shelley remained in Arya's dream, not as a spirit...

　But in the form of... an echo?

　In the eyes of the high dark elves, language is a powerful force that defines the world. The words they utter can resonate directly with the strings, thus shaping the world according to their words.

　So, if what Shelley left behind was "voice," does that mean...

　Xing Mo walked up to the dark blue afterimage, stretched out his hand, and gently grabbed it.

　The surging spiritual power swept over her, causing her hands to go numb.

　really...

　Shelley's extraordinary essence...exists in Alia's dreams in the form of echoes.

　This extraordinary power was not accepted by Arya's spirit, so it turned into nightmares every night, constantly eroding her sanity.

　But the question is...why is Alia so special that she can accommodate the echoes of the high dark elves?

　Could it be that...she is also one of the high-level dark elves?

　It's very possible...but it still needs to be verified...

　So a new question arises: Why would a high-level dark elf end up in the underground arena of Blackwood?

　If Xingmo hadn't saved her, she would probably have died?

　There are so many mysteries...

　Xingmo snapped his fingers and the dream dissipated.

　She lowered her head and saw Aaliyah sleeping sweetly between her knees.

　This little guy probably hasn't had a good night's sleep for a long time, right?

　Xingmo rubbed Alia's head and had no intention of waking her up.

　Well... that's perfect. Alia was about to be upgraded to the Six-String Saint. Since her dream contains the echo of Shelley, Xingmo doesn't even need to find a new extraordinary source body for her.

　"How is she?" Aurora walked over and looked at Alia.

　Xingmo and Aurora briefly discussed the echo in Alia's dream, and Aurora nodded.

　"Small problem. Let's help her stabilize her dreams. In a couple of days, we'll pull out all those weird things and let her absorb them."

　"Do you think Alia might be a high-level dark elf?" Xingmo asked.

　"I can't really tell. After all, I don't know the difference," Aurora spread her hands. "I'll ask around later."

　"Okay."

　Xingmo reached out and gently pinched Aurora's cheek:

　"Little Ancestor, what did Miriam say to you? How come you have such a good relationship with her all of a sudden?"

　"It's none of your business." Aurora stuck out her tongue.

　Look, the little animals are making trouble again.

　Xingmo smiled lightly. She figured she would find out sooner or later anyway, so she asked someone to call Bianca from outside the room and asked her to take Alia to the lounge next door to rest for a while.

　Then, Xingmo stretched and called everyone over.

　"Vote," Xingmo raised her hand. "We're going to have a barbecue party at the beach in Dongcheng District tonight. Who's in favor? Who's against?"

　"I'm fine!" Miriam raised her hands.

　"Is there a lot of meat? If there is a lot of meat, I'll come!" Vivian's eyes lit up.

　"Lululu." Aurora stuck out her tongue.

　"It's been a while since I've been to Dongcheng District," Alice said reasonably. "The civilian entertainment facilities on the beach have gradually resumed operations recently. We can enjoy the sea breeze, relax, and then go to bed together later."

　"Sleeping together?" Xingmo tilted her head. "On the beach?"

　"My family owns a property in Dongcheng District. I'll just ask someone to clean it up later." Alice nodded.

　Hmm... I almost forgot there is a rich woman here... Xingmo stuck out her tongue.

　"But are you sure it's okay?" Vivian put her hands on her hips. "If I remember correctly, Xiaomo is going to confront the informant tonight, right?"

　"Ah... this shouldn't take long?" Xingmo scratched his head. "Will it take a long time?"

　"I hope not. I'm afraid I'll starve to death." Vivian rubbed her stomach.

　"It's okay, we can go shopping first and buy some food," Alice smiled and rubbed Vivian's head, "Milliam, it's been a long time since you went shopping, right?"

　"Aurora and I have an appointment to go shopping together!" Miriam grabbed

　Aurora raised her wrist, "Ms. Xingmo! Please allow me to borrow Aurora!"

　Xingmo:?

　A question mark slowly appeared in Xingmo's mind.

　She looked at Miriam's energetic smile, then glanced at Aurora's "whatever" expression, and her confusion grew.

　What a strange little evil god! What's holding this little ancestor captive?

　"Then..." Xing Mo smiled brightly, "I...I'll go to contact the person alone?"

　"What are you afraid of? We're always watching you," Aurora muttered. "Why? Are you afraid?"

　"You must dare..." Xingmo sighed.

　Actually, it’s a good thing. If only one person goes, it can actually lower the other party’s vigilance.

　After all, no one knows how secretive the Haishang Yun is in Yan Xia's eyes. But since the information about it is so confidential, it is definitely not information that ordinary people can easily collect.

　Maybe the other party is very powerful.

　In this situation, Xingmo must show sincerity as much as possible so as not to make the other party feel threatened.

　Anyway, she is in the Academy City, so she must be absolutely safe.

　"Then let's go."

　Xing Mo stood up and patted his clothes:

　"Let's go, take care of everything and gather in three hours!"

　"call out--"

　A firework streaked across the sky and burst into life in the glow of the setting sun.

　The carriage was driving on the streets of Dongcheng District, passing through the wisps of white mist rising from the streets and through the noisy crowds.

　Similar to the former South City District, most of the people in the East City District of the Academic City are Yanxia people who came here from across the ocean. Oriental faces can be seen everywhere on the streets, and the structure of the houses is also more inclined towards Yanxia.

　Four months ago, after the White Tower counterattack ended, the Yanxia Islands sent an ambassador from Yantang to the Academy City, accompanied by a fleet.

　This fleet carried not cannons but supplies.

　At the meeting held in the broken Maple Leaf Palace, the ambassador said a lot of polite words, asked his secretary to record them, and ended the meeting hastily.

　After the meeting, he pulled Xingmo and his group into a secret hut protected by a string magic array and expressed his most sincere gratitude to Xingmo.

　"Thank you for defeating the Most High," the ambassador said. "The Hall of Human Opinion will aid your reconstruction efforts. We must face future storms together."

　Renyan Hall, the highest governing body of the Yanxia Islands, symbolizes the will of the archipelago.

　With their help, the reconstruction of the academic city progressed much faster, and Dongcheng District became more lively than before.

　"See you later, then."

　Miriam took Aurora's hand, waved to Xingmo, then turned and followed Alice and Vivian.

　Xing Mo waved his hand and stood alone on the street, suddenly feeling pitiful.

　Wow, Aurora was taken away.

　Xing Mo sighed, straightened his collar, and turned around to walk through the streets and alleys of Dongcheng District.

　Soon, she arrived at a small teahouse deep in the alley.

　When you open the door, you are greeted by the faint aroma of tea and the antique-style decoration comes into view.

　The teahouse is not too big, but it is exquisitely decorated. Although it is located in a remote area, there are still many customers drinking tea and chatting in the teahouse at this time, giving it a lively atmosphere.

　Xingmo walked to the front desk and placed a coin on the table:

　"I'm looking for Miss Ruan." she whispered.

　The receptionist in cheongsam smiled, took the coin, looked at it and clapped her hands, and two receptionists also in cheongsam came over.

　"Miss, please come this way," they said.

　Xing Mo followed the two receptionists through the teahouse hall and up to the second floor. It was much quieter here than downstairs, with various dragon paintings hanging on the walls and more exquisite decorations.

　The receptionist took Xingmo to the door of a small private room and shouted:

　"Private room in the Plum Blossom Hall, one distinguished guest."

　"Let her in!"

　A childish yet arrogant voice shouted in the room, and it sounded... quite ostentatious.

　Then, the two receptionists opened the door of the private room, and everything in the room appeared before Xingmo's eyes——

　"Huhu~Finally here?"

　What caught the eye was a screen decorated with plum blossoms. The candlelight cast a shadow on the screen, outlining the shadow of a person with horns on his head.

　Is it a dragon? Xing Mo became more alert and walked into the private room:

　"It's Miss Ruan."

　"Exactly~" A huge shadow moved across the screen. "Very smart... I didn't bring your people here..."

　"I think this is a private transaction," Xingmo spread out her hands. "May I know your name?"

　"Well..."

　"Ding--" the sound of a coin bouncing, and then "Snap".

　"It seems you are very lucky to know... my name..."

　A gust of wind suddenly echoed in the room, accompanied by a "rustling" sound, and the screen retreated to the sides, and the giant shadow also revealed its true form -

　——A loli.

　She was sitting on the table, wearing a white robe, her long purple hair flowing down her shoulders, and a pair of small horns dangling.

　"Hoohoo..." the little thing cried strangely, "My name is Ruan Lili, from Yanxiadan Prefecture, and I'm the patriarch of the Xiaolong family!"

　She crossed her legs and hooked her little finger at Xingmo:

　"The three bows and nine kowtows ceremony is unnecessary, but you still need to

　You should show some sincerity, right? Did you bring a gift?

　Gift...gift? Xingmo stared at the small thing sitting on the table with her mouth wide open, momentarily doubting her own sanity.

　Uh...is this little guy over twelve years old?

　When she first received the letter, Xing Mo thought it was from Yan Xia's gang or something like that who wanted to do a deal with her. She even suspected for a moment that it was a subordinate of the Black Dragon Society.

　So... Xiaolong family? The clan leader? The little girl?

　It's a type I've never heard of.

　This...this little girl really knows something about the secret of Haishang Yun?

　Xingmo resisted the urge to turn around and leave, and walked towards the little dragon:

　"Gifts and such, we can talk about it later."
