I reign supreme in the Western fantasy world for eternity.

As is widely known, the ability to suppress or control magic is not uncommon; the least known of these is the semi-forbidden spell, the [Magic-Suppressing Domain].

But Holy Light is different. Holy Light has the properties of magical healing and purification. It has a restraining effect on dark magic or other special abilities with corrosive properties. The power of faith mixed in can even cause damage to some high-level beings that are also composed of abstract concepts.

Ji Tian did the same thing when he fought the God of Industry, so the fact that he could restrain the Holy Light is quite unbelievable.

"This is no ordinary cult; we must crack down hard. Alex, tell me the exact location of that village, and I'll head over tonight."

Ji Tian planned to perform a soul search on everyone as usual, reverting the status of those without problems and eliminating those with problems. It was simple and efficient, and maybe they could even come back to eat.

Alex was about to speak when he was interrupted by another voice.

"I want to go too!"

Lilith had stood up at some point, rushed to Ji Tian's side, and grabbed his arm:

"Me! Me! Me too! I want to go! I can go undercover with you!"

Are you sure?

"Of course I'm sure! And think about it—" Lilith started counting on her fingers:

"Going alone would make you too conspicuous. A strange man suddenly appearing in a remote village would definitely raise suspicion. But what if someone is with you? For example—your wife? A young couple passing by, the husband silent and reliable, the wife gentle and virtuous."

Ji Tiantian subconsciously looked at Elena and saw that she had a slight smile on her lips and dimples, and did not seem to object.

Mason spoke first: "Wait, wait—Junior Sister, didn't you just say 'husband and wife'?"

"Yeah, otherwise how would I explain following him?"

Lilith, with an air of self-righteousness, then grabbed Ji Tian's arm and pleaded, "Please? Please~ Please~"

Ji Tian had no choice but to sigh. "Let's go now."

"Now?! It's already dark! I haven't even had a sip of hot soup before you dragged me undercover?! I don't want to—tomorrow! Tomorrow morning!"

"...Okay, first thing tomorrow morning. Let's eat now."

Lilith cheered and turned to run towards her seat, patting Mason on the shoulder as she passed: "Don't just stand there, eat first!"

Mason snapped out of his daze, helped Alex to the table, and asked him to tell him what had happened in the village.

After drinking the water, Alex said, "The village is in the northeast of the North, about two days' journey away."

"No rush, take your time."

The next morning, just as dawn broke, Ji Tian pushed open the main building's gate and found a person already standing in the courtyard.

Mia.

She changed into a dark gray casual outfit, her long hair was tied into a low ponytail, and the staff at her waist was replaced with an ordinary short sword. She looked like an ordinary family's daughter going on a trip.

She was standing in the middle of the courtyard when she heard the door open. She turned around with an embarrassed smile on her face.

"Good morning, hero. I said goodbye to my foster parents this morning."

Ji Tian paused slightly: "Have you spoken to your family?"

Mia nodded, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "Yes, I talked to them for a long time. They still hope I take fewer risks. They said... I should accompany you on your adventures until you go to the Demon Realm."

Before Ji Tian could answer, a mournful cry came from behind him:

"What?!"

Lilith rushed out of the door, her long, silvery-white hair still uncombed, clutching half a piece of bread she hadn't finished eating. She looked at Mia as if she were looking at a piece of seaweed that had been accidentally caught.

Mia was startled and instinctively took a half step back: "Miss Ophelia, what's wrong?"

"You've mistaken me for someone else again. I'm Lilith!"

Lilith stamped her foot, muttering regretfully, "I shouldn't have been greedy for that one bite of food yesterday!"

Mia blinked, tilted her head slightly, and glanced between Lilith and Ji Tian:

"Excuse me, what are you planning to do?"

Lilith remained silent in anger, so Ji Tian began to explain.

"Undercover agents? I'm an expert in this area. I can help. What identities do you plan to use to go in?"

"Husband and wife!" Lilith puffed out her chest to assert her dominance, then realized her hair was a mess and quickly tidied it up. "I'll play his wife."

"How about I play your daughter? You don't look much younger than me," Mia analyzed seriously. "As long as you're willing to act, I can cooperate."

"I--"

"Moreover, since it's an undercover operation, having children would make it easier to lower the villagers' guard."

Lilith was wary of Mia, but since Mia was pretending to be her daughter, Lilith had no reason to refuse.

"Okay, I agree."

Mia nodded slightly to Ji Tian again: "Hero, I've appeased my parents. They said—once they return to their hometown, I'll be free. Until then, I'll stay with you."

Lilith asked疑惑地问道, "Then why didn't you wait until your parents left? Wouldn't you be free then?"

Mia turned to look at her and said seriously:

"Because if I wait until they leave before I go, they'll be even more worried. It's better for them to see with their own eyes that I'm leaving with the Hero, then they'll be at ease."

Looks like a veteran. I never expected Mia, with her thick eyebrows and big eyes, to have this side to her.

That morning, a brief pre-battle meeting was held. The final plan was finalized:

Ji Tian and Lilith disguised themselves as a young couple passing through the area, entering the village under the pretext of looking for a place to stay. Mia pretended to be their daughter, while Elena and Ophelia stayed outside the village to provide backup. If anything unusual happened inside the village, they would immediately contact each other via communication runes.

Alex, on the other hand, was dragged by Mason to meet his parents, who were coming to Steel City to discuss business.

To avoid giving herself away while undercover, Lilith transformed her long silver hair into black, and her originally striking purple eyes turned into ordinary dark brown under the cover of her spiritual power.

She changed into a coarse cloth dress and twirled twice in front of the mirror.

"It seems to be quite plausible, but one thing is missing."

Ji Tian stood behind her, looked at his reflection in the mirror, and asked in confusion, "What?"

Lilith mysteriously asked Ji Tian to open the small world for her. She took out two inconspicuous silver rings from the storage ring inside and handed them to Ji Tian: "Wedding rings."

Ji Tian was stunned:

"Don't we have storage rings? Just wear them, right? And what's the meaning of giving me two?"

So slow-witted, are you an elf?

No, even elves aren't as slow as you.

Lilith felt fortunate that she had taken the initiative; otherwise, she might have had to wait decades or even centuries for the other party to make the first move.

No, the time I and Ji Tian have spent at the World Tree has probably added up to a hundred years.

After much thought, Lilith finally said, somewhat annoyed:

"One is yours, and the other is mine. Help me put it on."
