Don't use yourself as payment for the commission!

"Are you saying you're from outer space?"

"No, no, no, it's even further."

Mebius shook his head and chuckled, his long, serpentine eyes narrowing almost to slits as he gave Christensen an answer that sent ripples through her mind.

"Kristen, I come from outside the world."

"Assuming I believe your story, then why have you come here, visitor from another world?"

Why have you come to see me?

Her expression returned to its usual indifference, and Christensen analyzed and pondered everything with absolute rationality.

"It's very simple. It's because the shopkeeper, whom everyone likes the most, is here playing house with you, and I'm also a little curious about your life forms."

As for why it was you..."

At this point, Möbius's playful smile vanished, and he became unusually serious as he gave Christensen his assessment of him as a scientist.

"Forced to crawl on this muddy land to survive, yet still choosing to look up at the stars, at least this spirit deserves praise."

Moreover, I enjoy communicating with intelligent people, and you are one of the few truly intelligent people on this land.

“Make a deal with me, Christen.”

Under Christensen's consistently indifferent gaze, Möbius finally revealed the purpose of her visit.

"I need a local laboratory to facilitate my research on life forms in your world. In exchange, I will show you knowledge about worlds far beyond the stars."

"..."

After a brief silence, Christensen slowly nodded, giving the answer that Möbius had expected.

"I don't seem to have a reason to refuse."

"Well, happy cooperation~"

................................................

Meanwhile, after ending her call with the serpent, Bai Xun turned to the feathered serpent beside her and asked with a smile,

"Holhaya, after you've asked me so many questions, I also want to ask you a question."

You pride yourself on your historical research, so can you tell me how far back the Terran civilization dates back?

Although she didn't know why Bai Xun would suddenly ask such a question, as one of Colombia's finest historians, Horhaja instinctively gave an answer.

"According to verifiable historical records, it should be around 10,000 years ago, when the Sarkaz were still called Ticaza. The first traceable demon king of Ticaza, the 'Faraway,' established the first Kazdel."

Bai Xun nodded, and then continued to ask,

"Hmm, how does the 10,000-year-old Terran civilization compare to your 400-year-old, epic family history?"

"what do you want to say in the end?"

Holhaya's brows furrowed even deeper, a sense of unknown fear spreading through her heart.

Along with the fear came a faint sense of excitement, the source of which she herself did not know.

“My assistant, the one I just called, guess how old she is.”

Before Horhaya could answer, Bai Xun had already extended his right hand, spreading his five fingers to give his answer.

"Fifty thousand years old, although the vast majority of his time was spent in paradise, the historical span of fifty thousand years is real."

Do you think it's necessary to talk about your four-hundred-year-old family legacy in front of me?

As Holhaya stared at him, biting her lip in shock and disbelief, Bai Xun spread his hands and continued to laugh.

"Spanning 50,000 years of civilization's heroes and 40,000 years of empire's rise and fall, even this world has an even more ancient pre-civilization... If you want to explore history, then you must be prepared to bear all of this."

Of course, I won't criticize you for not being able to transcend the limitations of your own race. I'm simply telling you in a more direct way that I can fulfill all your desires; it's just a matter of whether you believe it or not.

absurd.

Horhaya had intended to yell at Bai Xun like that.

But for some reason, she couldn't open her mouth to make a sound, as if an invisible hand had penetrated her mind and seized her thoughts and the ancestral wisdom that was emitting sharp explosions.

Fear and excitement went hand in hand. Stunned and frozen in place, Horhaiya could only watch as Bai Xun walked step by step toward her.

He first grasped the slender, sharp tip of his tail and played with it carefully, then gently stroked his dark ear feathers, as if he were playing with a young beast whose claws and teeth had not yet grown in and which posed no danger whatsoever.

"Horhaiya, I can give you wings, allowing the power of wind and thunder to surge within you. I can also reveal to you the deepest secrets of this land, or lead you to witness the brilliance beyond the endless starry sky..."

Haku Xun's voice was like a devil's whisper, its allure reaching straight to the soul.

But just as Horhaya was about to collapse to her knees, overwhelmed by the weight of her soul, a black luxury car suddenly sped into the park and came to a graceful stop in front of everyone.

There was a "bang" sound.

With her slender, beautiful legs, she kicked the car door open. A tall, elegant woman in a trench coat stepped out of the car with a serious expression. Her smooth white hair was tied into a high ponytail and swung behind her, making her look sharp and dashing.

"A Blood Demon, and... a Feathered Serpent?"

Having received Muels' message and having already noticed the towering flames of the fire demon from afar, Saria rushed to the scene anxiously. Seeing Ifrit's tear-streaked face, her expression suddenly darkened. She extended her hand towards Bai Xun and Horhaiya, then clenched it into a fist, and said coldly,

"Hand over Ifrit, and no one will be hurt."

Otherwise, you will all pay the price!

"Saria! I..."

Upon seeing Saria arrive, Ifrit became excited and immediately wanted to run up to Saria and explain the whole story to her.

Unexpectedly, Bai Xun stopped her halfway, pressed her shoulders, and whispered something in her ear.

"Charmander, wait a moment, let me say a few words to Saria."

"Okay, okay."

Although she didn't know what Bai Xun was going to do, Ifrit was still a very obedient child in front of people she trusted. She could only reluctantly nod and step behind Bai Xun, blinking her pitiful big eyes at Saria, which further deepened Saria's misunderstanding of Bai Xun.

“Ms. Seria, I wonder if you still remember me.”

Saria glanced again at the little fire dragon standing behind Bai Xun, knowing that to rescue Ifrit, she would first have to get past the blood demon youth in front of her.

"Of course, not many resumes reach my hands, especially one from a Blood Demon. I originally wanted to hire you, but Nasti suggested that I return your resume."

"Oh, is that so?"

Bai Xun was also somewhat amused and exasperated upon hearing this.

"I thought it was you, Saria, who was being racist. How come it turns out that my Sarkaz brethren are the ones who are more prejudiced against Blood Demons?"

"Never mind, I don't care about that anyway. I'm curious about something else right now."

Bai Xun rubbed his wrist, looking at the woman in front of him with anticipation, grinning as he spoke.

"I have heard more than once about how strong you are, Ms. Saria, but I have a slight doubt as to whether you are stronger than me."

Fortunately, the opportunity has now arrived.

Bai Xun is itching to fight Saria!

After several dungeons with so many improvements, I still haven't been able to find a match where I could really enjoy the thrill of fighting. Now that I've finally met a master like Saria, how can I resist having a friendly spar?

Chapter 91 Bai Xun: Saria, you are the woman who could be my mother! 4k

Rhine Life Sciences, Structural Engineering.

"What to do? What to do? What to do?"

Because the situation of Charmander being kidnapped by Haku is somewhat illogical, Himeru has completely lost her usual composure.

She had already prepared a detailed plan to save the little dragon, but now Haku Xun suddenly appeared and took Ifrit away. This situation, which was completely beyond her comprehension, left her with no clues to think about.

Hammer is no longer at the point of being unable to do anything, but rather completely clueless about what to do or how to do it, which is the most frustrating and disheartening thing.

But just as Himer was completely at a loss, she suddenly felt a light tap on her shoulder. Annoyed, she turned around and saw a green-haired girl with elf ears smiling at her.

"Director Muirses? Is there anything I can help you with?"

With his hands behind his back, Muels walked up to Himer with a high kick, almost like a dancer, coughed twice, and then deliberately put on a serious little expression.

"Researcher Himer, you already know that Ifrit was kidnapped by Bai Xun, and you seem to know Bai Xun?"

This is indeed what happened.

Himer sighed inwardly, knowing that as Ifrit's attending physician and someone who knew Bai Xun, she would definitely be investigated because of this matter. However, she did not expect that it would be Muels who came to find her.

If anyone should be conducting an investigation, it should be Saria, the head of the Defense Department, not Muelsas, the head of the Ecology Department.

Although she was somewhat unclear about the details, Himer nodded honestly.

Since I can't hide it anyway, I might as well answer honestly.

"Bai Xun and I are both students in the Department of Biology at Trimont Polytechnic University. We met because we took several courses together and worked on several projects together under the guidance of our advisors."

"Uh-huh."

As Muels continued to walk with his hands behind his back, nodding, he gestured for Himer to follow behind him and asked again.

"You two have a very good personal relationship?"

"Perhaps. Bai Xun gets along well with everyone. I'm just the most inconspicuous one among the group of people he gets along well with."

Although she was following behind Muels, Himer lowered her head involuntarily as she spoke, seemingly not wanting Muels to see her somewhat dejected expression.

"When I learned that he was planning to apply for Rhine Labs just like me, I was secretly pleased. But I didn't expect that Bai Xun would fail to be selected and that it would be revealed that his true race was actually a Blood Demon."

"Yes, who would have thought that a Blood Demon could get into Trimont Polytechnic University and even blatantly apply for a job at Rhine Lab?"

Seemingly having opened up a conversation, or perhaps because Himer had vaguely sensed the ambiguity of Muelses's stance, she took a deep breath and continued recounting the events of that year.

"After learning that he was a Blood Demon, I was more surprised than anything else. But the other people in my class and group started to insult, ridicule, and even fabricate baseless accusations to attack Bai Xun. For a moment, I didn't even know whether the Blood Demon or they were more terrifying."

"So you still trust Bai Xun and think he's a good person?"

As if he had discovered something interesting, Muels slowed his pace and turned around, a playful smile appearing on his lips.

"I believe he is a good person."

Even though she knew that saying this would greatly increase her suspicion, Himer still nodded firmly under Muirses' amused gaze.

"After our university graduation party, we took a walk together by the lake on campus, and I asked him a question then—"

At this point, Himer paused slightly, as if recalling a scene frozen in her memory.

Moonlight, evening breeze, willows, and blue waves.

Behind them were the jubilant lights of the graduation party. These elites from Trimont Polytechnic University were about to throw themselves into society with their rich knowledge and surging enthusiasm, and on that night, the whole of Colombia and even the entire land belonged to them.

Even Himer was affected by that atmosphere, filled with boundless longing and anticipation for the future.

In this situation, Himer couldn't help but ask the white-haired young man walking in front of him a question.

What kind of person do you want to be when you grow up?

The young man stopped in his tracks at the girl's question. He stood there in the swaying shadows of the trees under the bright moon, and with a calm smile, gave the answer that Hamer would never forget.

His answer was 'KIND'.

Hemer met Muirses's gaze directly, his expression showing no doubt or hesitation.

"Regardless of race or religion, I simply believe that the person who can give this answer cannot possibly be some heinous villain."

"Pfft~"

Under Hemer's earnest gaze, Muirses couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh out loud, her laughter exceptionally clear and joyful.

"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry. I can't believe the thought of Bai Xun's expression if she heard what you said."

Bai Xun's side clearly stated that his relationship with Hermo was almost "unrelated," but Hermo's side had this attitude...

No, Muels, hold it in! You can't laugh now. Wait until you bring Himer to Bai Xun before you laugh!

"Director Muirses, what brings you here?"

When Muels suddenly burst out laughing and uttered a line packed with information, Himer was stunned and felt a little confused.

Meanwhile, Muels, who was still leading Himer to the underground parking garage, was leaning against Himer's car door, waving and smiling at Himer.

"Get in the car, I'll take you to find Haku Xun and Ifrit."

"But what about Rhine Labs..."
