The day after the escape.

Sky City Saint An Avenue.

Lin Tianming and Alice were here together, experiencing the bustling life of Heavenly City.

"Ming, this is our Sky City's Saint An Avenue, which is not only bustling but also one of the famous tourist attractions in Heavenly City. Every year, there are many tourists from all over the world who come here for sightseeing. Look in that direction, there are quite a few people from the Central Holy Domain, most likely here on vacation!"

Under the sunlight, Alice cheerfully introduced the attractions of her Heavenly City to Lin Tianming, looking like a lively and cute silver-haired elf.

Lin Tianming quite liked Alice's demeanor.

He said, "It really is pretty good here; it's definitely worth a visit!"

Seeing Lin Tianming's thoroughly enjoyable expression, Alice was even happier.

Today, she specifically acted as a tour guide for Lin Tianming, taking him out to have fun, with the aim to dispel Lin Tianming's prejudices against the Beiyin Domain.

Although the higher-ups of the Beiyin Domain have gone too far in many matters, that can't represent the majority of the people in the Beiyin Domain.

The Beiyin Domain still has desirable and beautiful aspects to it!

"Ming, that shop's five-star strawberry sundae is super delicious. Whenever I had free time in the past, I often came here to eat strawberry sundaes. Let's go try it out together?"

With a sunny smile blooming on her pretty face, elf-like Alice grabbed Lin Tianming's hand, heedless of whether he agreed or not, and led him to the shop she mentioned.

They ordered two strawberry sundaes, and then continued to enjoy the local customs and culture on Saint Ann Street.

Everything was going according to Alice's plan, sharing the good side of the Beiyin Domain with Lin Tianming, but at this moment they just happened to pass by a building with an external screen.

That huge screen was showing a press conference held by the higher-ups of the Beiyin Domain, broadcasting a public apology to the whole world.

Many people on the street stopped to watch this recent news about a major incident occurring during a global competition.

Naturally, Lin Tianming was no exception; he wanted to see if the Beiyin Domain would muddle the facts, spouting nonsense again.

Alice, who had been quite happy, saw the news that disrupted her plans, and her mood became a bit unpleasant.

[I really wanted Ming to stop thinking about those annoying issues... What bad timing for this news!]

[I hope this won't affect his mood to relax!]

As for Alice taking him out to play, Lin Tianming already knew her reasons through her thoughts.

Agreeing to go out with her despite knowing, meant he really didn't care about that matter as much as she thought.

He always kept gratitude and grudges clear, not imposing the issues with the high-level figures of the Beiyin Domain on other people.

After a while here, hearing the public apology from the Beiyin Domain officials that seemed sincere and not evasive, Lin Tianming was actually quite surprised.

"This time, they actually seem sincere, not evasive. It seems that putting pressure on the Beiyin Domain officials yesterday was the right move!"

Hearing his words that showed no anger, Alice also heaved a sigh of relief, her hand resting on her chest.

To be honest, even as a person from the Beiyin Domain, she was surprised at the higher-ups' unexpected honesty this time.

In fact, there is a severe trust crisis among the Beiyin Domain's elite.

Ordinary people in the Beiyin Domain generally don't believe what the Beiyin Domain officials say.

Because when it comes to deceiving people, even their own are not spared by the Beiyin Domain higher-ups.

Things like the Genetic Sect and the Mechanical Sect capturing people for research, and various accidents, the people of the Beiyin Domain are well aware.

That's also why people of the Beiyin Domain generally don't trust the words of the Beiyin Domain officials.

Though all being from the same place, there's a severe crisis of trust.

People from other realms, due to their lack of understanding about the specific situation in the Beiyin Domain, mostly thought that all Beiyin Domain people were the same as those depicted by the Beiyin Domain officials in the news.

Alice's thoughts began to drift as she pondered this, but she quickly snapped back to the present.

Since the thing she was most worried about was no longer a concern, she might as well continue showing Lin Tianming around her Beiyin Domain and let him experience the local customs!

"Tianming, let's go over there and look around, there are still a lot of fun and tasty places over there. I come here often, so I know it like the back of my hand!"

Upon hearing Alice's energetic invitation, Lin Tianming naturally wouldn't refuse.

Then, under Alice's guidance, Lin Tianming had a blast in Sky City Saint An Avenue for the whole day.

Indeed, as Alice said, there were too many places to have fun.

The sun was setting, and there was still so much they hadn't experienced.

Lin Tianming had promised Jiang Han he would return early. Even though he was reluctant to leave, he decided to call it a day.

He still remembered all the various warnings Jiang Han gave him before he left.

Saying that the Beiyin Domain was unsettled recently, with frequent activities from the Judgement Church, the Yellow Clothes Church, and the Deep Sea Church, he was told to make sure to return before nightfall.

There was no way around it; he had already troubled Jiang Han with worries twice in a row recently, so it was better to be obedient for now.

"Alice, let's head back early. Let's call it a day for now, we can come out and play together again next time!"

"Okay, Tianming!"

With a radiant, bubbly smile, Alice agreed to Lin Tianming's suggestion.

Today, she had great fun with Lin Tianming, enough to make him forget about yesterday's unpleasantness from the Beiyin Domain officials, which was her most important mission for the day.

Now that it was successfully accomplished, she was naturally willing to accompany Lin Tianming back.

On the way back, Alice didn't miss the opportunity to ask Lin Tianming to rate their Beiyin Domain.

"The Beiyin Domain is pretty good, right, Tianming?"

"Indeed, it's quite impressive. Despite some unpleasantness yesterday, at least in you, Alice, I've seen the beautiful side of the Beiyin Domain."

Alice's cheeks flushed red with the high praise from Lin Tianming.

[Tianming actually thinks so highly of me?]

[What does he mean by saying he sees the beautiful side of the Beiyin Domain in me… he really knows how to talk!]

Just as a blushing Alice was about to say something, on their way back, they encountered another unpleasant event.

"Please... let me go... don't... don't use that drug on me anymore... I... I don't want to become a monster... I don't want to!"

"Don't want to? Are you saying you don't want to pay back the money you owe? Do you think you have the right to refuse? You just have to take the medication sent by our Genetic Sect on schedule each month, and dutifully contribute yourself to the great cause of science while earning money lying down, and your debt will be paid off. You actually say you don't want such a good deal?"

"Please... I... I don't want the drug trial job offered by your Genetic Sect anymore... please... let me go! I will find a way to pay back the money myself, I don't need your help!"

"That's not for you to decide, now that you've agreed, you must continue with the job! Otherwise, wouldn't the six months of medication we've invested in you be wasted?"

Seeing the Genetic Sect's people blatantly kidnapping someone in broad daylight, Alice's face immediately turned sour.

[These Genetic Sect people are too arrogant!]

[With the Global High-level Awakening Academy Competition happening recently in Sky City, they dare to be so bold as to kidnap people for experimentation. I can't even imagine what ordinary people elsewhere in the Beiyin Domain must be enduring right now!]

[I spent the entire day trying to clean up after you shameless scum ruining the reputation of our Beiyin Domain, trying to restore the Beiyin Domain's image in Tianming's heart, and now your vile actions have completely ruined it again!]

[We cannot let these people continue their misdeeds any longer!]
