The phone vibrated again.
Silver Art: “The Spirit Fox is here again… She’s waiting for you…”
Pei Jinye raised an eyebrow.
He typed: “I’ll be there in fifteen minutes.”
Silver Art: “Mmm.”
“…”
…
December 19, 9:27 PM.
In the [Modern City] Bar, the crowd was buzzing, and the dynamic music started to play—it was another masquerade night.
Pei Jinye, wearing a black striped mask, weaved through the crowd of beauties, declined the close dances offered by gorgeous women, and made his way to the front desk.
Sea Words had been waiting for a while and quickly led him away through the staff corridor.
“The Spirit Fox Lord has arrived.”
Pei Jinye simply calmly “Hmm” in response.
Sea Words reached for the door handle.
An electronic voice transmitted: “Biological information correct, welcome home.”
The door opened, and a burst of warm air rushed from the inside.
Everyone inside turned their heads to look.
At the doorway, Black Radiance got up to meet and greet him unconsciously: “Demon King.”
“Demon King,” Tian Heng also greeted.
Following that, Lou Hai, Silver Art, and Little Red Luo in the room all chimed in.
Pei Jinye nodded as a greeting and walked into the room.
On the screen, the figure of the Spirit Fox had been there all along, looking at Pei Jinye with her gentle, watery eyes, she softly said, “Demon King, you worked hard on last night’s mission.”
“Have you checked the information on the mainboard? What did the Elder Association say?” Pei Jinye dove straight into business, showing no interest in sitting down for a pretense of care.
Little Red Luo covered her mouth and snickered from behind the crowd.
The rate at which Silver Art was rocking her feet increased.
Everyone turned their attention towards the Spirit Fox.
As if she hadn’t noticed anything, the Spirit Fox softly said, “Regarding the information on the Asura, for now, the Elder Association wants everyone to stay silent. This matter seems to be related to a very ancient being… Of course, these are just my speculations.
Specific news might be communicated to you by the Elder later.
As for this meeting, it is related to the Sand Flame Association.”
Everyone looked up in anticipation.
The Spirit Fox continued calmly, “Based on the intelligence we’ve obtained, the Sand Flame Association has recently reached an agreement with the Western Fire League. The Elder Association has issued orders that, starting today, all members of the Sand Flame Association staying in Da Peng City must be eradicated, as a warning.”
“How did those two get together?” Little Red Luo was somewhat puzzled and said, “Didn’t the Sand Flame Association have trouble with the Western Fire League before? Have the Western Fire League lost their dignity?”
The Spirit Fox looked at Pei Jinye with a meaningful expression, “Since the Western Fire League was attacked last time, it has been greatly weakened, and then targeted by other alliances. It’s been struggling these days in the Western Continent.”
Little Red Luo asked a few more questions.
However, most had little to do with the mission—they were all about the gossip between the Western Fire League and the Sand Flame Association.
The Spirit Fox seemed to grow tired of it and cut in before Little Red Luo could speak again: “Regarding this mission, the Demon King does not have to participate by force. If there’s nothing else, would the Demon King please stay behind.”
Everyone looked towards Pei Jinye.
As Pei Jinye sat there and waited for everyone to leave, he heard the Spirit Fox say, “I heard you were seriously injured yesterday, are you feeling better now?”
“Don’t bother, is there something you need to speak with me alone about?” Pei Jinye said icily.
The Spirit Fox laughed softly, “You don’t have to keep me at such a distance. Maybe one day we will become collaborators.”
Pei Jinye narrowed his eyes to look.
The Spirit Fox divulged nothing further, “Regarding the incident on the Asura last night, the Elder Association has some questions to understand… After Tian Heng’s surveillance suffered a Shock, and Lou Hai returned, in that minute plus when we lost contact with you… did you encounter any strange incidents?”
“Yes,” Pei Jinye seemed quite frank, “At that time, I was bound by a mysterious force and didn’t dare to act rashly… It was only when Lou Hai appeared at the last moment that I found the opportunity to escape. In fact, I am very curious, what exactly was on that ship?”
The Spirit Fox contemplated, “The Elders did not reveal…”
“Do you think it could be a god?” Pei Jinye probed, “The force was vast, and I can hardly imagine what being it could have been.”
“God?” The Spirit Fox was taken aback and fell into contemplation, sincerely deep in thought.
After only a brief moment of pondering…
She seemed hesitant.
“I have heard from an Elder… Gods will not appear in our world; they are beings from a higher dimension.”
“What if it were an injured god?” Pei Jinye added.
The Spirit Fox’s once firm tone began to waver, “An injured god… can gods be injured?”
Watching her bewildered expression, Pei Jinye reined in his thoughts.
He could tell that the young woman in front of him was also unaware.
But what Pei Jinye didn’t expect was…
Suddenly, the Spirit Fox knelt on one knee.
Following that, on the screen, a woman wearing a White Fox Mask appeared, looking at Pei Jinye with interest: “You suspect the entity is an injured god?”
“Elder,” Pei Jinye was stirred inside but said, “All are just my speculations… I have very little information about gods. May I ask the Elder, what sort of beings are gods truly?”
“Gods… come from a higher dimension. To them, we are like ants on the ground to us, do you understand?” the voice of the Bai Hu woman was very ethereal and pleasant.
Through her voice, Pei Jinye couldn’t determine her age at all.
