Black-Corner Region, Diamond Lustre City.
After returning to the Dou Qi Plane and meeting with Yunyun in the Blade God Mountain Range, Yafei brought them to the Diamond Lustre City.
Baek Ain entered the city and looked around in amusement. As far as he remembers, there was no such city when he stayed in the Black Corner Region.
"You've been busy." Baek Ain commented, peeking at Yafei.
Yafei giggled, "It's just a side job. Sister Cai has been very adamant in making me get resources all over the continent."
"To make it less conspicuous, I can only disguise it as a city and build a Chamber of Commerce."
"You built another one? I thought the Mitter Family was doing well?" Baek Ain couldn't help but ask.Yafei shook her head gently and replied, "Uncles and Aunties are busy with their affairs. I also don't want to drag them into a dangerous circle outside the Jia Ma Empire."
"She's right, Ain," Yunyun added after some thought.
"Many people have investigated your origin over the past years. It's just that not many people know about your true origin and even name."
"Using alternative identities when entering a new region is a good call on your side."
"In the Jia Ma Empire, you're a talented young alchemist and Golden Monarch, but nothing more."
"In the Black-Corner Region, you're the infamous White Fang."
"In the Demonic Region, you're called the Twin-Bladed Slayer."
"In the Behemoth Paradise, you're the Great Behemoth."
"In the Nether Bird Tribe, you're their Holy Son."
"And recently, you changed your identity into a 10th Grade Alchemist named Lin Feng and engaged to three heiresses."
Baek Ain broke into a cold sweat and commented, "You really do your research, huh?"
Yunyun stared at Baek Ain and replied, "This is nothing. Most of them are from Cai Lin, who openly shared your secret with me."
Unfortunately, Cai Lin probably doesn't know Baek Ain has another new identity in the Heaven Genesis World and has inherited Fire Roc Saint's throne.
If Cai Lin knew, Beak Ain bet she would put it on a list.
"..." Even then, Baek Ain's eyelid twitched slightly. The Snake Queen sure has the gall to rope more women into the harem.
He doesn't know what to feel about this.
Should he be happy or concerned?
Even Yafei looks rather helpless when learning this.
They tore space into the Fortune Chamber of Commerce's highest floor and had Bai Yuxian preparing tea and snacks for them.
Baek Ain watched Bai Yuxian fleeting away, "Isn't she?"
Yafei nodded, "Yes. She was one of the serial agents from the Behemoth Paradise. She has been helping me with the Chamber of Commerce and has quite a talent in business."
"An assassin becomes a businesswoman, that sounds like a novel." Baek Ain chuckled in amusement.
"You just give the printing division a new interesting idea." Yafei smiled a little. "Let's see if the novel with your idea works among the people."
"You really waste no effort..." Baek Ain was speechless again.
Yunyun glanced at Yafei in admiration, "As expected from the woman who got deemed as the Merchant Queen."
"People also called you the Wealth Saint of-!"
Yafei glared at Yunyun and said with a smile that was not a smile, "Lady Yun, don't you think it's quite inappropriate to expose such a thing?"
Yunyun sensed the deep hostility in Yafei's tone and hurriedly closed her mouth.
She was too excited because she finally met Baek Ain and unconsciously turned into a talkative person, even though she wasn't even the type who liked to talk a lot.
She was flustered.
I mean, can you blame her?
It's like seeing your crush after so many years and finding he has become better in every aspect.
Of course, Yafei understood Yunyun's feelings, but calm the fuck down, woman.
Bai Yuxian returned with a trolley, placing snacks and tea for them.
"Thanks, Yuxian." Baek Ain learned the assassin's name, which caught Bai Yuxian off guard.
Bai Yuxian also becomes flustered, "This is nothing, Master."
"Enjoy your conversation. I will be waiting outside." She hurriedly walked out, leaving Baek Ain confused.
Baek Ain tilted his head, and Yafei facepalmed.
"You're not this dense, Ain," Yafei said solemnly.
Baek Ain smiled, "I know, but something isn't right."
[It's your skill that you weren't aware of]
'Don't tell me...' Baek Ain finally remembered something on the back of his head.
[Yes, it is what you think of]
After Baek Ain synthesized his loot and existing skills, he obtained three charmer-type skills.
Banished Devil Charmer (Growth-type skill).
Emperor of Maiden's Heart (SSS-high skill).
Worldly Desire Tongue (SSS-mid skill).
The Emperor of Maiden's Heart and Worldly Desire Tongue are passive skills with the power to draw the opposite gender's affection into him.
Just one whisper alone is enough to tug the maiden's heartstrings, making them interested in Baek Ain.
Baek Ain had these two skills sealed. He doesn't want to make women fall in love left and right with him. The deadly combo would be 'extremely' effective on opposite-gender enemies, though.
On the other hand, Banished Devil Charmer is a growth-type skill.
It remained on the side of active and passive, growing alongside Baek Ain.
And this skill only has two effects.
First. Increasing Baek Ain's charm like a devil charmer who tempted lonely women's hearts. Second, it solidified his image like a curse in their hearts, branding him as the forbidden fruit that one couldn't resist love.
If both effects were 'successfully' met, Baek Ain's strength would increase significantly for each woman.
This skill is such a headache for Baek Ain.
Do you know why? Because Baek Ain couldn't seal this skill.
Harem's life really chose him and left him with no option.
The Banished Devil Charmer doesn't seem to work on Yafei and Yunyun.
There is only one explanation. Both women are loving Ain with no external influences.
Not saying Yuxian's feelings aren't true.
It's just that her feeling isn't pure.
"Anyway, Yuxian's matter aside..." Yafei grabbed a cookie and fed it to him.
"Why don't you tell us your story in the Heaven Genesis World?"
"You have disappeared for a whole month."
"For a month?" Baek Ain frowned in disbelief.
Yafei nodded, "Yes, a month."
'Alicia, what is happening here??'
[Time Dilation] Alicia answered calmly.
[You traveled through the gap of planes to return, which was known as the Limbo of Space and Time]
[Not to mention, you're coming from the lower plane, making the time difference worse]
[Thankfully, you only stayed in the Heaven Genesis World for a day]
[A few hours in the Limbo of Space and Time translate to days in the lower plane]
'And you didn't tell me??' Baek Ain was mad at Alicia.
[Host, you can't blame me for this...] Alicia wryly added.
[Spectral Creatures are a one-of-a-kind resource, and you can't miss such an opportunity]
[Not to mention, you're traveling slower by riding Little Dragon]
'Fine, you win this time.' Baek Ain didn't bother to argue because Spectral Crystal is really a one-of-a-kind resource. It can make traveling to higher realms safer.
He also won't blame the poor Little Dragon because he had worked hard on the Gap of Planes.
After adjusting his mind, Baek Ain breathed in and sighed, "I will tell you about my journey at the Heaven Genesis World."
"Since it's quite an anti-climatic story, don't expect much."
"Everything is good with you in it," Yafei said as a matter of fact.
"Including you." Baek Ain winked at Yafei.
Yafei jabbed at Baek Ain gently, "There is Lady Yun here, mind your words!"
Baek Ain coughed, but Yunyun was honestly unfazed by his innuendo response.
Seeing Yunyun's zero reaction, Baek Ain started his story.
"Well, let's see." Baek Ain thought of a way to tell his story.
"It starts from a starry sky."
"I was flying in a colorful domain...."
