As for whether Lin Guang violated the law?

Kong Guofeng couldn't care less. Someone who can sit in this position can't be a pedantic person. The law prohibits Spirit Beast smuggling, yet the Divine Heart Association thrives. Why bother someone "from our own ranks"?

"However, why is he so decisive? Does he have some grudge against the Divine Heart Association?"

"I don't know yet, and it's not appropriate for me to inquire directly. But after checking Lin Guang's recent activities, it seems related to a previous outing from the city. It's speculated that a Spirit Beast Hunter of the Divine Heart Association targeted his partner, given that the Terran Demon is also quite rare to some extent."

"How did you learn about this matter?"

"It was Miss Lei Wanting."

"Just now, she sent a document to my mailbox. The content is enough to prove 'Lingmiao Company is a puppet of the Divine Heart Association' and 'the Divine Heart Association conducted human experimentation.'

"… Human experimentation?"

"Hmph, they've been given too much freedom over the years."

Kong Guofeng furrowed his brow, showing clear anger, "Even using savages from the Wilderness is overstepping!"

—In the current era of established household registration in Great Xia, the Divine Heart Association couldn't possibly abduct a large number of humans required for experiments without attracting Great Xia's attention.

Suddenly, Kong Guofeng stirred.

"Just in case, before I return, have someone stay on standby around Lin Guang's house and ensure his protection."

After speaking, he cut off the Communication Spiritual Artifact.

In the next moment, a sword light intertwined in green and red suddenly swept across the sky, pausing beside them.

An elegant youth with a head full of white hair, dressed in a dark robe, abruptly appeared among the True Men, surrounded by sword light.

He surveyed the surroundings and spoke, "Apologies, I arrived late."

The True Man at the head position looked quite old, but his aura was not languid at all; instead, it was intense like the sun.

He waved his hand, "No matter."

"With Friend Zhou, the formation should be adequate."

"No need to wait for others, let's begin."

The elderly man cast out a crystal.

In the next instant, a colossal, intricate diagram outlined in seven-colored radiance unfolded in the air.

It was not static, but continuously self-sketching.

In a brief span of seconds, it evolved into a spectral image of a Spirit Rune Array enveloping the entire plain.

All True Men were guided to their places.

In the next moment.

All Spirit Masters on the ground saw the array illuminate with a burst akin to the explosion of the sun.

Beast roars, sword clamor, melodies… multiple sounds echoed nonstop.

Accomanied by the grating sound of breaking.

The Secret Realm exploration is about to commence.

...

"Gah—!!!"

A familiar yet strange thundering noise made the silver-haired girl lying on a soft mattress instantly open her eyes, her amber gaze revealing anger, as if she was about to burst into curses the next moment.

But as her sight swept over Lily, curled up with her big tail lying beside the pillow, she held back for now.

She reached out and gently stroked the little fox, listening to her half-asleep soft hums, Vishdair finally got up, pulled back the heavy curtains, opened the window, and took a deep breath.

With Vishdair's inhalation, the grey cropped workout tank top was noticeably lifted by a full and enticing curve at the unrestrained chest.

A refreshing breeze blew head-on, carrying a crisp, earthly scent into her nostrils.

The continuous rain brought by the Secret Realm's arrival yesterday had stopped. The warm golden sunlight shone on the community's Golden Birch Tree, appearing somewhat dazzling.

She exhaled a breath of stale air, her eyes becoming clear, "Whew—"

If it weren't for that Explosive Sound Crow's disruptive cry just now, it would've truly been a wonderful morning… or perhaps noon.

Vishdair glanced at the clock on the wall.

"How long did I sleep?"

Reaching out to tidy her slightly messy silver short hair by her ear, Vishdair looked up at the ceiling, starting to ponder the prior events.

That Bronze Bell is indeed the Spiritual Artifact bestowed by the True Man.

Though the transmission point was random, it assured safety, and the three of them just happened to arrive at an alley on the city's other side in the old town.

Originally, for caution, Lin Guang wasn't planning to return home. He intended to find a place for them to hide for the night, but his phone suddenly rang—a message from that woman named Lei Wanting came through, though the content was unknown.

The obviously dazed Lin Guang seemed to think the alarm was lifted upon reading it and decided to take a taxi home with them to rest.

"Mmph…"

Thinking of this, the silver-haired girl uttered a cute, teeth-gritting sound.

It hadn't been long, yet he formed another contract.

Is he some kind of public bus that picks up every passenger he sees!

But momentarily, she sighed, her expression relaxing.

Initially, Lin Guang's health condition wasn't great lately. Last night's Talent Resonance was such that, seeing him in a dazed state, she couldn't help but feel worried.

Moreover, since the contract was completed and they left the base, Lin Guang's condition seemed off. He continued to clutch his head, and aside from checking and sending messages, his responses were delayed, appearing as though he was about to fall asleep imminently. Vishdair and Lisa chose not to ask, allowing him to rest early.

Wondering about his current state.

Taking a deep breath, Vishdair reached the washroom, completing her freshening up quickly.

Bang!

She slapped her cheeks hard, returning to her usual appearance.

"Good morning, Sister Vishdair."

"Mm, morning."

During the time she washed up, Lisa had already transformed back into her human form, donning the light, floating white dress she wore at home.

Walking into the washroom, Lisa awkwardly began braiding her yellow-blonde hair into a plait, asking, "Do you have anything you'd like to eat? Once I finish freshening up, I'll go prepare it."

Instinctively, Vishdair replied, "Not letting him cook?"

She abruptly realized, shaking her head, "Please get me more meat; I'll go see if he's awake."

"Okay."

Vishdair touched her somewhat flat belly and went to the bedroom door of the youth, hesitated for a moment, and then pushed open the door.

In the next moment, her facial expression suddenly stiffened.

He was sleeping soundly, wearing pajamas, as usual.

But what was uncommon was…

Next to him, incredibly, lay a black-haired Beautiful Maiden, entirely uncovered!

Her slender arm held the youth tightly, seemingly cuddling up intimately beside him, while he himself seemed slightly furrowed in the brow from being held, without any sign of waking.

And the ears on her head, along with the wolf tail behind her, unequivocally declared her species.

The Rupu (Wolf) Tribe!

In Vishdair's view at that moment…

This scene looked like the aftermath of something!
