Chapter 82: Chapter 73: Sacrifice to the Evil Dragon Fafnir Again

Outside the villa.

When Fang Xiu saw the figure, his first instinct was that they were here for him.

On second thought, perhaps it was just a coincidence.

Nevertheless, since he could avoid them, Fang Xiu chose to do so.

With Kajimi’s speed, she carried Fang Xiu back inside the villa in a mere instant.

Even Yue Tianrui, who was Level 60+, didn’t notice a thing.

"Phew!"

Back inside the villa, Fang Xiu let out a sigh of relief.

If he had run into Yue Tianrui and been seen with this set of Liu Bei books, it would have been impossible to explain.

He opened the door and stepped into the villa.

Fang Xiu’s brow furrowed slightly.

"Master, it seems someone has been here."

Kajimi also noticed something was wrong and looked at Fang Xiu as she spoke.

Fang Xiu nodded slightly. "And this Gate Passage... it’s a little bigger!"

Although it was only a tiny bit, Fang Xiu could still tell.

After all, he had stared at the Gate World Passage every day and was naturally very familiar with it.

He could definitely spot that it had grown, even if only slightly.

"Kajimi, can you sense if the intruder was a person or a Demon Beast?"

Fang Xiu looked around the messy living room.

He really couldn’t tell if a person or a Demon Beast had made the mess.

If it was a person, then the secret of the Gate Passage and the Gate World would be out.

But if it was a Demon Beast, it might have already escaped into the city.

"It should be a person!"

Kajimi said.

"A person? That’s really a problem!"

Fang Xiu shook his head helplessly.

Whether it was a person or a Demon Beast, it was a huge headache.

If it had been a Demon Beast, it would likely be in the city by now, but on his way back, Fang Xiu hadn’t heard any news about a Demon Beast Attack or sighting.

But now that he knew it was a person, his secret was probably blown.

’I was careless, after all!’

Fang Xiu shook his head with a sense of resignation.

Before he left, he should have posted more Guards around the villa.

As long as they patrolled outside without entering the villa itself, something like this wouldn’t have happened.

But now, it was too late for all that.

"Kajimi, let’s go into the Gate World!"

Fang Xiu looked at the Gate Passage and said to Kajimi beside him.

If someone had already discovered this Gate World’s passage, Fang Xiu felt it was necessary to go see what other treasures the Gate World might hold.

He still had no idea what was at the bottom of that lake, either. It was best to go take a look while he still had the chance!

Otherwise, once word about this Gate World spread...

Fang Xiu figured the place would be taken over and managed by the state.

"Mhm!"

Kajimi nodded slightly.

[Ding! Reminder to Host: Five minutes remaining!]

Just then, the system’s voice sounded once more.

Fang Xiu had run rather quickly, mainly because he was afraid someone would see the books in his hands.

Furthermore, Kajimi had flown him in from the main gate.

This had saved him a considerable amount of time.

Fang Xiu didn’t respond to the system.

He simply walked toward the Gate World.

He wanted to perform the Sacrifice inside the Gate World.

After all, someone might have discovered this place and could be hiding nearby.

To be safe, Fang Xiu chose not to perform the Sacrifice right away.

He stepped directly into the Gate World.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. So you’re finally back!"

After Fang Xiu arrived in the Gate World, he suddenly heard a voice.

He looked up, stunned for a moment, before his expression darkened.

"Zheng Zhiyuan! It’s you?"

Fang Xiu hadn’t expected the person who broke into his villa to still be here in the Gate World.

What he expected even less was that the intruder was his own classmate, Zheng Zhiyuan, who used to sit right in front of him.

"Hehe, Fang Xiu. I never thought you’d have a Gate World like this."

Zheng Zhiyuan wasn’t surprised to see Fang Xiu.

Clearly, he already knew this place belonged to Fang Xiu.

"What are you doing here?" Fang Xiu asked warily.

"Just passing by. Thought I’d drop in on an old classmate. Who would’ve thought my old classmate was hiding such a deep secret?"

Zheng Zhiyuan sneered and said, "A Gate World... I don’t seem to recall hearing about a Gate World around here recently. Which means... you found a Gate World and didn’t report it?"

"Yes. So what if I did?"

Fang Xiu nodded slightly, a faint smile on his face as he replied.

"You were such a good student in class, weren’t you? How could you forget something like this? Do you have any idea what the punishment is for finding a Gate World and not reporting it?"

Zheng Zhiyuan said, quoting knowledge straight from their textbooks.

Hearing this, Fang Xiu nodded. "You learned your lessons well!"

"Heh, of course. My grades weren’t bad either. I just... didn’t manage to Awaken."

Zheng Zhiyuan gritted his teeth as he said this.

His academic performance in class had also been excellent.

But he never would have imagined that he would be unable to Awaken.

Not even to the lowest F Level.

For his entire life, he was destined to be an ordinary person.

A few days ago, he had been passing by Fang Xiu’s villa. He’d been there a few times before and just wanted to take a look.

He found Fang Xiu wasn’t home, and when he happened to notice a window that wasn’t properly closed, curiosity got the better of him, and he let himself in, as if possessed.

That’s when he discovered the Gate Passage in the living room.

A Gate Passage.

A passage leading to a Gate World.

This was something Zheng Zhiyuan had dreamed of entering his whole life.

But in the end, he had failed to Awaken.

He had become an ordinary person.

He had no right to ever enter a Gate World.

Again, it was as if he were possessed.
