I recall that was a spiritual art derived from Land Naga—because they are born with ancestral spirits guarding them and their souls never disperse. Can humans also?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Era evolves, Eva.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind Luo De, misty soul energy swirled, and one by one, the Battle Spirits took form: the Bronze Dragon, the Fungal Warrior Gorgon, the Astral Raider, and more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My Battle Spirits can not only preserve your soul-body, but also your current spiritual consciousness—you can follow my perspective and experience all living beings.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though she could not leave the Preservation Space on her own,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>even if she left, the power of the Preservation Domain would prevent her from returning to the land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Eva remained hesitant, struggling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that his [Battle Spirit Workshop] had advanced, Luo De naturally did not want to miss Eva’s extraordinary spiritual resistance and Preservation Domain traits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though their encounter had been purely a one-night transaction, and the experience was far from pleasant,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he still wanted to respect Eva’s wishes as much as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I, Luo De, am also a man of feeling and honor!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Eva was considering,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tally, lost in thought, leaned close to the trunk and sniffed, then suddenly turned pale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why does this tree smell of its master’s essence?!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A bead of sweat trickled down Luo De’s forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A respectable man is a respectable man, but the gains from that time were substantial—never mind that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cutting down that tree was certainly one of his black histories.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s been almost a year—how can she still smell it?

Are lizards really this stupid-looking now? Hahaha!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey! That one—do we eat it, Luo De? Roasted dung balls! So nutritious!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How did this elf end up in a chicken coop? Have elves changed so much now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A faint mist of soul energy stirred behind Luo De; Eva’s semi-transparent bark-faced head appeared on his shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She scanned everything on the street with wonder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Qiongqiong Ancient Tree, retaining spiritual consciousness, could even emerge half her head without Luo De’s permission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stares of passersby were piercing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, having two heads on one shoulder was rather bizarre.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De didn’t care, taking her to wander aimlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A certain forest guard, a natural rogue, would laugh along upon hearing the girl’s pure laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But trees are slow-metabolizing creatures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After her initial excitement, Eva quickly grew tired and retreated to rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With nothing else to do, Luo De took Tally to the casino for a few rounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The casino forbade magic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unsurprisingly, he soon lost all one hundred Jin Along chips he had exchanged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter—it’s just harmless fun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, Tally insisted on lunch, so they headed outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Preservation Space, Luo De had been busy mining and fetching water, completely ignoring her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This thing had been clinging to his arm like a sloth since earlier, trembling, gazing at her master with eyes so tender they seemed ready to drip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Please wait a moment, sir.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two black-clad casino staff members in uniform blocked their path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There was an issue with your recent bet.

There was an error in settling your bet—we need to return you a sum of gambling funds.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No need. Keep it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He waved them off, intending to walk past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the two staff members did not step aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of them hesitated, then looked at Luo De with a trace of reverence: “Mr. Luo De, Emerald City has no record of your entry. Two Domain Masters are closely monitoring you—once you leave the casino, they may move to detain you immediately.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You idiot, don’t say that!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De wasn’t surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emerald City had three Mage Towers and three permanent Domain Masters—all previously stationed on the front lines of war.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later, after Emerald City was invaded by demons, the Jade Tree was corrupted, then sacrificed by the rebel legendary mage of Scorching City, who offered a thousand lives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then were two of them recalled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De’s [Spider Sense] wasn’t useless—he’d sensed watchers long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two Domain Masters, seventh and eighth rank—though he’d never fought them, he had nothing to fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But why detain me? I’m just a traveler.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Both Domain Masters have joined the Igo Cult—in short, our manager Megan requests your presence.
