After spending a considerable amount of Liheng coins to buy it, Bai E, holding the pottery basin and the small fish, wore a triumphant smile, feeling that the world was vast and everything was going smoothly.
"Sir, consider this antique a gift for you. Welcome to Ohmma."
Looking at the ceramic basin handed to him, Lin Yuan raised his hand and pointed out a dark pattern on the bottom of the basin with some curiosity, asking about its origin.
Bai Er looked over and suddenly fell silent. He recognized that it was the mark of the great craftsman Hadonus.
It's an authentic product that's hard to imitate; it's absolutely genuine; it was definitely burned last week.
"My God."
The smile on Bai E's face disappeared—no, it shifted to Wan Di's face.
"You should keep it for yourself to raise fish, savior, hahahaha!"
The laughter that echoed throughout the street attracted the attention of many people. Lin Yuan could feel the gazes around him, most of which were respectful and well-intentioned, but a few even harbored malice.
He glanced over and saw several furtive figures appearing in the crowd.
In addition, there was a subtle sense of being spied on that lingered in the air.
"The three of you, let's hurry up and leave, so as not to keep Ms. Aglaia waiting."
Lin Yuan said softly.
.........
After traversing a secret path and passing through a water curtain, the group arrived at the Marble Palace.
This is the enormous bath blessed by Fagina, where people gather to enjoy feasts and honey-infused drinks.
Stepping inside, a wave of water vapor hits you.
The vast bathhouse was spacious and bright, with shimmering, clear water that was pleasant to the eye. Men and women alike swam and played in the pools, creating a peaceful and serene atmosphere completely different from the outside world.
We continued along the road, passing the enormous, overflowing main pool.
After identifying themselves, the group ascended to the second floor via a floating staircase. The noisy chatter suddenly vanished, and the warmth of daily life was shut out.
Lin Yuan followed the others onto the platform, and directly in front of him came a slender female figure.
The yellow skirt swayed with her long, slender legs, and the form-fitting dress outlined her exquisite curves. The person was none other than Aglaia.
Hearing footsteps, Aglaia opened her calm eyes. She first checked whether the Golden Bloods were injured, then turned her attention to Lin Yuan.
"Who is this visitor...?"
The clear, elegant voice had just begun when it suddenly stopped.
"Bai'er, what are you doing?"
Bai E was squatting by the Hero's Bath, splashing water. Hearing the sound, he looked up and raised his hand as if presenting a treasure:
“Ms. Aglaia, look, what a beautiful little creature! I’m sorry, I need to find a suitable place for it first.”
Aglaia looked closely, and suddenly, a rare change appeared on her usually indifferent face.
She took a deep breath, her breasts heaving.
"White Calamity".
Aglaia's voice was calm, yet like a deep sea concealing turbulent waves. Her narrow eyes narrowed slightly:
"Now, immediately, take your little pet and settle it somewhere else."
"No, Ms. Aglaia." Bai Er's face instantly fell, and he took a few steps forward:
"Look at this color! Isn't it full of artistic flair? It would absolutely enhance the beauty of the bathhouse—"
"Bai'e, get out."
Aglaia's eye twitched; she was on the verge of exploding, her humanity instantly boosted by 10086.
"All right....."
Seeing this, Bai E could only awkwardly put away the yellow and purple fish. He muttered a couple of things under his breath and walked out helplessly.
"Let's keep them in the pool at the heart of the cosmic vortex."
Lin Yuan, who was watching, was secretly chuckling to himself, just like Wan Di. But seeing Bai E about to leave, he quickly stepped forward:
"Bai'er, you can't leave."
Meeting Aglaia's gaze, Lin Yuan said gently:
"You must be Ms. Aglaia. It's true that seeing you in person is worse than hearing about you. You truly live up to your reputation as a pure and romantic Titan."
However, the White Calamity brothers cannot leave now, for the spark of the Titan of Strife resides within them.
"Oh? Then come back, Bai'er."
Aglaia's eyes flickered slightly as she looked intently at Lin Yuan.
"So, guest from Dandong, what exactly is the purpose of your visit to Ohmma?"

The Onpharos arc feels like it's nearing the end of the book. Starting in August, I'll try to resume updating more frequently.

"So, guest from Dandong, what exactly is the purpose of your visit to Ohmma?"
Aglaia's calm and steady voice fell as she fixed her gaze on the young man before her.
"Dandong? What kind of place is that?"
Bai E, who was standing to the side, repeated the place name with some curiosity.
Lin Yuan understood immediately; the other party had most likely already learned of his supposed origins from the refugees in Xuanfeng City. However...
"Why did I come here?" Lin Yuan couldn't help but ponder.
He seems to have been asked this question countless times. He came for peace, for survival, and for crisis.
But what brought him here this time?
"I came here to make a change."
Lin Yuan pondered for a moment before giving this answer.
"Change."
Aglaia's eyes flickered slightly, but she didn't say anything more.
On the other side, Bai E stepped forward at the right time, took the spark of the conflict from his palm, and explained in detail what had happened and the exchange proposed by Lin Yuan.
After listening, Aglaia's gaze returned to Lin Yuan.
"I am aware of all the details." Her voice was indifferent, revealing no emotion.
"However, compared to your power, I am more curious about your origins. Such great power was never mentioned in the prophecy."
Her eyes narrowed slightly, then relaxed: "However, you are not the only one whose fate was not in the prophecy but was woven into my destiny."
Her gaze swept over Bai E and the others. Seeing this, the latter knew that Aglaia wanted to speak with Lin Yuan alone, and nodded after a moment of silence.
"Your Excellency, you can come find me after this is over, and I will show you around Ohma properly."
As Bai E's cheerful voice faded, a hint of curiosity suddenly appeared on his face:
"To be honest, it's really impolite of me not to know your name even now."
Upon hearing this question, everyone present was drawn to it.
Lin Yuan paused for a moment, then decided not to use any alias.
"My name is... Lin Yuan."
"What?" Bai E seemed not to have heard clearly and scratched his head awkwardly.
Without synesthetic beacons, the syllables of the name are somewhat difficult for the Onphalus people to pronounce.
"Your name is... Lin... Lie... Yang, right? Lie Yang from Dandong?"
"Uh, it's Lin Yuan. What's that accent?"
Lin Yuan's expression was somewhat strange. Was the name... a coincidence? He hadn't thought that much about it at the time.
However, he silently recited a sentence in his heart:
"If I really had to give it a name, I would prefer to call it... The Blazing Sun Overlooking the Abyss."
..........
"This is the bathhouse that the parliament gifted to the Golden Descendants. Originally, no one but my comrades was allowed to set foot here."
Soon after, only Lin Yuan and Aglaia remained in the vast bathhouse. Aglaia led the way, and in the misty steam, her beautiful figure became even more indistinct.
"However, since you personally conquered the Titans of Strife and expressed goodwill to us Golden Blood, I am willing to make an exception for you."
Aglaia extended her delicate hand in invitation.
"Please come with me, let's find a suitable place to talk... about the cooperation you mentioned."
Lin Yuan nodded slightly and followed her to a clear spring.
Amidst the shimmering water, Aglaia was the first to step into the bath.
"Please sit, Your Excellency. Find a comfortable position and slowly savor this place. People bathe in water to be completely honest with each other. If Your Excellency is willing to trust me..."
She nestled against the water's edge and looked up:
"please."
A moment later, Lin Yuan was immersed in the warm water, with water vapor rising around him.
Looking at the beautiful woman so close to him, he felt no attraction whatsoever, because he knew what she wanted to do.
"Why don't you come closer and close your eyes to feel it?" Rulan's breath lingered in her ear.
"Now, please raise your forearm, palm facing forward, fingers slightly spread."
Lin Yuan did as instructed, slowly closing his eyes. Although he could not see, he could still sense something approaching through his senses.
"Yes, like this, exhale, inhale, exhale, inhale, feel the ripples of the water."
