Chapter 83

The arrow pointed to a purple wooden desk in the corner of the room, but now there was no one behind the desk.

Then, a small golden light point flew up from a book on the table and stopped on the chair.

Immediately, Chu Feiyue felt that the light point seemed to turn into a bottomless black hole, crazily pulling the surrounding elements. If he didn't try to收敛 (restrain) himself, he would have been sucked back to his original form. Countless elemental particles formed streams of magical power, which were absorbed by the golden light point. As the magic power flowed in, the light point gradually grew larger, eventually expanding into a very beautiful mature woman.

Her dazzling golden hair, which reached the ground, was her most prominent feature. Her indifferent eyes and elegant purple pupils highlighted her noble and refined demeanor. Her pale pink lips were lightly pursed, revealing a charming smile that added a touch of liveliness to her beauty. She wore a sleeveless evening gown with a purple base and golden patterns, and her crossed arms showed her incredibly long and fair skin, making her small chest appear slightly more prominent.

Moreover, she had three pairs of flower wings! Light golden, semi-transparent petals gently danced behind her, and with each wave, they sprinkled some glowing golden powder.

This golden beauty floated up to the two siblings, examining them from head to toe.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, not bad at all," she said, pinching her round chin. "You've grown to this level in just a few days."

"Hehe, thank you for the compliment..." Chu Feiyue scratched his head, trying to ease the psychological pressure that had been weighing on him since the golden beauty appeared.

This woman's aura was the strongest he had ever seen.

"Alright." The golden beauty floated back behind the table and sat down, crossing her legs as she introduced herself: "My name is Xian Ni, the Dream Star, the City Lord of the Flower Court, a six-winged gold flower fairy, and Aulexia's sister."

"I called you here for two reasons. First, I wanted to see what kind of person the reincarnation of the goddess sister is. You're good, I like you."

"The second reason is that I heard from Little Dick that you killed someone for the first time yesterday. He was worried you might have some psychological pressure, so he asked me to come and see. But it looks like you're fine. I mean, just a few scoundrels, if you get scared after killing them, how can you go to war in the future? The pressure of killing? Ha, that's the funniest excuse I've ever heard. It's just a manifestation of your cowardice."

"You're just afraid to kill. Why are you not afraid to kill pigs, sheep, snakes, and bears? Because you don't feel pressured when you kill them! It's one-sided. For you," the City Lord Xian Ni's expression softened, "you are the candidate of the goddess, our hope, the master of the entire world. You should treat all living beings equally. When you need to kill, just do it, don't care what they are."

"Should I treat everyone equally?" Chu Feiyue clearly couldn't accept the idea of equating humans and animals.

"Exactly. From a certain perspective, this world is your private property. Everything on the continent is just a transient, like soldiers in a camp. Only nature is eternal. You killed those people, just making room for the next generation. Would you be upset about brushing off a speck of dust from your clothes? No, right."

"Uh... This theory is so strange, but hearing you say this, I do feel better." This was Chu Feiyue's biggest thought... After listening to City Lord Xian Ni, his resistance to killing had disappeared. He was sure that if he had to kill someone now, he wouldn't have any problems.

"Exactly, killing... promotes the cycle of nature, you're doing a good deed." City Lord Xian Ni raised her eyebrows and smiled.

"The third thing is to give you a task."

She tapped the table, and a holographic projection of the entire Holy Dawn Empire appeared on it. She tapped the air a few times, and the projection gradually enlarged, finally stopping on a green grassland to the east of the Flower Court.

"See that? That's the Thrips Plain, the largest and main gathering place for wild horses in the empire. Meritorious soldiers are allowed to go in and tame a horse suitable for them. Of course, it's not forbidden for horse catchers to capture horses there. As long as they don't kill each other, it's all fine."

"But recently, the wild horses there seem to have a problem, becoming quite violent and aggressive. Several groups of horse catchers have already lost people to the wild horses. I want you to find out why the wild horses are so aggressive and solve the problem."

"Accept the task: Restore the Peace of the Grassland. Find out the reason for the wild horses' aggression on the Thrips Plain and eliminate it. Client: City Lord Xian Ni, the Dream Star. Reward: Unknown."

After assigning the task, Xian Ni lightly hooked her little finger, and a thick book, as thick as a dictionary, flew over from a distant bookshelf. She handed the book to Chu Feiyue.

"I saw that you had trouble even solidifying your own body just now. This won't do. Take this, the contents inside will be very useful to you now."

Nonsense, if that GM hadn't sealed me, who knows who would have drained whom... Chu Feiyue took the book with some resentment, thinking to himself.

But it was true. Now, Chu Feiyue's method of gathering magic power was very crude, just absorbing it without any technique.

Chu Feiyue took the dictionary and looked at it. The cover was blank, with a deep blue background filled with various dark yellow magical patterns, and a subtle flow of magic power inside. He had seen these magical patterns in the Estoria Magic Book before.

【The Eternal Dream Paradise Codex: Unknown, a book. A magic book that can write its own magical knowledge, of unknown origin, and seemingly very old. When touched, it will show the most suitable magical techniques for the reader. Never wears out. Requirements: Intelligence 20, Magic Consumption 10000/second】

"This book has existed longer than we have, probably a natural creation. The script currently used in the empire was derived from it. With it, you won't need us to worry about your magic studies. By the way, the Estoria Magic Book is a replica we made based on this book, and it works pretty well..."

Well... An unknown-level book. Something even the system can't see through. It's just a book?

Chu Feiyue solemnly put the Eternal Dream Paradise Codex into his ring, planning to study it when he had the chance.

Then Xian Ni threw them two teleportation crystals. These extremely rare, transparent purple crystals contained enormous energy, and after being processed by alchemy, they could instantly teleport the holder to a specific place.

An alternative return scroll...

"After you complete the task, use this crystal to teleport back. When you return, you won't be able to leave the house, so just stay inside. I'll come over."

Xian Ni finished her instructions. She suddenly stretched, pulled out two stacks of files a meter high from under her table, and gave each of them a seal before turning back into a light point.

"Use that seal to stamp all the files, and then you can leave. The guide will tell you how to go. I'm going to sleep, bye~~"

Her voice was filled with laziness and a hint of joy. Then the light point turned into a golden flash and disappeared with a "whoosh."

The two siblings looked at each other, both feeling that the image of the calm and strong mature woman in their minds had collapsed again.

Sigh, why "again"?

No point in complaining, let's get to work. (╯▽╰)

...

"Sister, is our candidate okay now?"

"Of course, she's fine. She just couldn't get over that mental hurdle. My [Mind Guide] can even influence the goddess sister, so it's easy to help her overcome that hurdle."

"But, using a spell on the candidate... won't she resent it in the future?"

"As long as she doesn't have a head full of rocks like Bomb Rock... But her current strength is too weak, she shouldn't even feel that I guided her."

"Sister, you're so mean..."

"Little girl, talking about your sister like that, are you feeling itchy? Hehe..."

"Ahh! Sister, what are you doing? Don't touch there! Ahh!"

...

Cough, cough, the psychological pressure after killing... there's no need to worry about whether it's realistic or not. The protagonist has been permanently hypnotized.
