Only I can make them stronger

Complaints aside, it makes more sense if you think about it this way.

The mythical species that people generally perceive are just perfect creatures that evolved from the elements of the Deinoceratops, but in fact they are all high-level beings that are developing towards the direction of true gods.

They are also looking for a way to become their own gods.

Whether it is the way of enriching the faith of others like the Hidden God, or the way of developing towards a perfect life like Joey, these are the paths they have chosen to become gods.

No matter which path you choose, the key to the end is now in your hands.

He is the only person in Hill Continent who can truly use mental power to mobilize strength, without even the help of rational elements and inspiration.

Although he was not strong enough, he had been standing at the end of the road from the very beginning.

So rather than saying he is a key, it would be better to say he is the one who can open the door from the end point.

Xia Ye gradually understood everything.

He didn't expect that he had just intended to learn about the relevant matters of the ceremony, but he came to such a conclusion.

"So... Xia Ye, you are also proficient in various rituals?" At this time, Qilisi's words brought his thoughts back.

"I guess so. Maybe I'm just like you. Many of my abilities are imprinted in my brain, and I use them without understanding the principles behind them."

Xia Ye decided not to tell these things.

To them, this information is of no use but will only cause them trouble and may even affect their perception of their own abilities.

Anyway, he and his wives were tied together, so it was good enough that he was the only one who knew it.

"No wonder you want to know, but this is all I know. As for the specifics, I..."

Qilisi said angrily.

"It doesn't matter, what you said has already opened my eyes!"

At least Xia Ye had fewer worries, and instead had an inexplicable confidence.

In his mind, the ritual instantly lost its high-sounding image and became nothing more than a crude imitation of one's original abilities.

"By the way, Fiti, when I asked you to start the ritual before, what kind of ritual did you use that actually summoned Shen Yue directly?"

Xia Ye remembered the black and white crescent moon that rose in the rational space of the Brutal Hero. That thing was the key to helping Miss A turn the tide of the battle.

"Well... Actually, I used the simplest ritual, which only has the effect of simple prayer. But as long as the intention is strong enough, you can see the arrival of the Divine Moon with your own eyes."

"Old Krona... She said that although the coming of the Divine Moon will not bring any power, when you feel lost, you only need to pray to Him sincerely and you will find peace."

"This ritual has only this effect."

"No wonder..." Xia Ye saw it clearly.

Although it is simple, it is direct enough, and it is fortunate that Fitty was smart enough to choose this ceremony.

From this point of view, the so-called Divine Moon might also be a mythical species. After being called down by Fiti, it instinctively fought against the Brutal Hero that was competing with it for the target, so Miss A completely lost the ability to target Karen.

"What kind of weird things are these mythical species..."

Recalling the conscious beings he had seen in the rational space, Xia Ye couldn't help but complain in his heart again.

Apart from the Phoenix, whom I have never met before and who still looks more or less like a human, there is also Joey who transforms and splits at any time, the God of Concealment who has no entity but only darkness, the combination of EVA and Gundam, the Moon... and also the Raven Ancestor who has the body of a girl but the head of a one-eyed crow.

It's a really abstract concept.

"Okay, now that Fitty is okay, let's continue discussing our business, shall we?"

Xia Ye put away his thoughts, looked up at Qi Lisi again and said:

"I definitely want to go to the Holy Land of the Blood Clan. You have to lead the way. I have already mentioned your health problem. I need you to come with me and judge whether my plan can really help you."

"Anyway, no matter what, it's my advice to go with us."

"If you don't want to live with other people, you can stay in a hotel or rent a house next to our office. Don't worry about the cost. Like you said, you can pay me back after you make money."

"I have another very important matter on hand. It is a promise I made to someone else. I will deal with this matter first after returning to Xia City-State."

"When we come back, we can officially go to the Holy Land of the Blood Clan."

"And during this period, if you live near our office, our people who stay in the office can also take care of you in case you encounter the kind of criminals that we did before..."

"It's not a good idea to keep dragging this hungry body into battle, right?"

Xia Ye finished his suggestions in one breath and looked at Qilisi sincerely.

The latter bit his lips lightly with his two sharp teeth, hesitated for a while, and finally raised his head and said:

"Then... let's do as you say. In fact, it's not that troublesome to live somewhere else. If you have an unused basement or storage room, I can live there. You don't have to worry about me too much..."

"I...I won't bother you for too long! I'll leave once my physical condition is resolved!"

Qilisi's inexplicable pride was playing tricks on her again, and she quickly added another sentence after she finished speaking.

Xia Ye knew very well that this girl was always unwilling to take advantage of others, so he could only nod his head with a helpless smile and did not say anything more to persuade her.

As long as you move in first, you will stay here sooner or later.

105. Cold Face Marshmallow

The next day, after finishing all the matters, Xia Ye decided to go directly back to Qianshi Office.

This trip took almost half a month, including the time for travel and handling various affairs.

The three beautiful wives at home must be missing me so much that they are about to fall in love with me.

So does he.

When he was away from home, without Leah's silly and cute behavior, Sana's experienced and mature advice, and Luoqi's delicious cooking that made people linger, Xia Ye always felt empty inside.

"We won't be joining you on the return trip. Karen and I want to go to Phoenix first."

Looking at Xia Ye packing her luggage into the subspace backpack one by one, Jinniel hesitated for a moment and said.

"Or go back to Phoenix?"

Hearing this, Xia Ye asked with some disappointment.

During this journey, both Ginnelle and Karen became much closer to him, and they got used to having the "twins" around them.

He felt very uncomfortable when they suddenly said they wanted to break up.

"After all, he is still Phoenix's clerk..."

Jinelle smiled bitterly and shrugged. Karen, who was standing by, looked at the sad Xia Ye and the helpless Jinelle and wanted to say something but stopped herself.

"How are you going to solve the car problem?"

"There is an equipment trade team between Clock City and Phoenix City. I inquired about it last night. One team is preparing to set off today. If we show them the Phoenix Office badge to prove our identity and pay some money, they will not refuse to take us along."

"It's a little slow, but it's still safe, don't worry."

"Okay, but we should meet again soon. I will go to Phoenix sooner or later."

Seeing that Jinelle had already made all the arrangements, Xia Ye stopped trying to persuade them. After all, Phoenix treated them as her own children, and it would not be nice for them to just leave like that.

"Then... Xia Ye, let's do it next time..." Karen curled her lips and wanted to say something reluctantly, but was interrupted by Jinelle:

"Let's go, the trade team is about to leave."

As he spoke, the latter took her arm and walked straight out.

Xia Ye looked through the window and soon the two people left the hotel and disappeared in a certain direction.

"Why didn't you tell Xia Ye about our plan? Did you change your mind?" After turning a corner, Karen looked at Jinniel anxiously.

After they woke up yesterday, they had a brief discussion and were clearly planning to go back and apply for resignation from Phoenix and then go to Xia City-State to join Xia Ye and the others. Why didn't they mention it now?

"On the one hand, I want to tease him and give him a surprise. After all, I don't think they will refuse our joining."

Hearing this, Jinniel smiled and said:

"On the other hand, regarding Fenghuang... there are many things that need to be made clear. Before I talk to her, I don't want to give Xia Ye a definite answer."

"Explain it clearly? What's there to explain clearly? Phoenix doesn't restrict the clerk's freedom." Karen was even more puzzled.

"We are different..." Jinniel recalled the scene she saw in the rational space.

Although Xia Ye didn't mention it, she saw Phoenix appear beside Xia Ye and fight with the Brutal Hero.

The source of their existence is most likely a mythical species like the phoenix.

In this case, Phoenix's actions of taking them in, including pushing them to Xia Ye and letting them go to the Gear City together, may all contain some deeper meaning.

So no matter what, Jinniel needs to make sure what Phoenix means before making the final decision.

Because Xia Ye is a user of native abilities and the Phoenix is a mythical species, the relationship between the two is very delicate, and Jinelle doesn't want to bring too much trouble to Xia Ye or even put him in danger of death.

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Karen didn't say anything more after hearing Jinelle's firm tone. After all, she was the one who had been making decisions for the two of them.

"But Jinelle, have you noticed how much you've changed?"

"So big? How big?" Jinelle tilted her head and looked at Karen with a smile.

"You seem to have become more cheerful, and your smile is much sweeter than before. It feels like you have become a sweet girl." The latter smiled wickedly and pinched the other's face.

"Sweet... sister?" Jinelle's smile froze.

It can’t be said that this word has nothing to do with her, it can only be said that it is a complete antonym, right?

"Really? When you mention Xia Ye, your expression becomes like that of a girl who has just started a relationship. You almost visualize the person in your mind."

"Besides, there's no way you would have said something like 'I wanted to tease him' or 'give him a surprise' before. Your mouth was like a borrowed one, you couldn't bring yourself to say a word of nonsense."

"And according to your previous style, the only thing I can think of when you mention surprises is that you have made some convenient new inventions..."

Karen pouted and said, "But it's okay, I understand. I was the same when I first separated from Xia Ye, but I was more direct."

"I just didn't expect that a hardwood tree like you would bloom one day?"

"..."

After listening to Karen's words, Jinelle was stunned for a long time before she smiled helplessly.

"Maybe. I admit that you have a good taste. Xia Ye is indeed a very charming person."

Although she could not see her genetic disease as intuitively as Xia Ye, and she didn't even know that her genetic disease had been eradicated, but after Karen's reminder, she did feel that Xia Ye had unknowingly occupied a very important position in her heart.

Yesterday's madness was still vivid in her mind. During that process, Jinelle, who had always been independent and extremely proud, for the first time developed the idea of wanting to rely on Xia Ye, wanting to help him, and wanting to stay with him.

This may really be similar to the feeling of being in love.

What's more, from an objective point of view, after having intercourse with Xia Ye, the factor level and body that had been dormant and sealed for a long time seemed to have all come back to life.

Breaking through the third level was a small matter, but more importantly, it made her originally depressed feelings about herself suddenly become clear.

In short, no matter from which angle, Jinniel has completely acknowledged the importance of Xia Ye to herself and Karen.

"Then after we quit our jobs and go find him, we'll continue doing this and that! I almost fainted from pleasure yesterday, but I still want to do it when I get up!"

"You too! You looked so adorable yesterday, like a..."

Hearing this, a lewd smile appeared on Karen's face.

She seemed to care more about getting Jinelle into Xia Ye's bed than her own sexual happiness.

"Shut up, idiot!"

"We are on the street! What... obscene words are you talking about!"

When this was mentioned, Jinniel's face flushed.

After what happened yesterday, she has indeed changed completely.

The coldness on her face was all superficial. In fact, her heart was as soft as a marshmallow and easily broken.

And this softness also comes from Xia Ye.

Apologies to all the gentlemen

As I mentioned before, I have a lot of things to do during this period, my physical condition is not very good, and I am stuck in writing, so the update is not very stable. But now my thoughts are smooth, and my condition has adjusted a little. Starting tomorrow, I will resume the double update, and will occasionally burst update to make up for it. Thank you for your support, love you~

106. Lovesickness Returns
