That's quite true. After all, no one really knows the deep inner workings of this young girl.

"Speaking of which, Ah Xion, are you planning to say anything to her? After all, she's done so much for you…"

The Sword Saint's betrayal of the Human Central Empire has recently spread to the surrounding region of Sim City, and many people are discussing this issue. Some believe Ah Xion is overly concerned about their disciple, while others suspect there might be a real issue with the Wise King. Various opinions truly exist—however, since Ah Xion's arrival here, Doro has had no formal conversation with her.

This is quite out of character for Doro.

The first few days could be explained by the busy wedding preparations, but what about afterward? Doro had full opportunities to have a thorough talk with Ah Xion yet he never did.

"Facing her…" Doro knew it was a serious matter, yet he simply could not bring himself to regard Ah Xion properly.

Truth be told, Doro had considered discussing things with Ah Xion, but every time he approached her, she would directly call him "teacher."

Doro had called her "teacher" for so many years, yet being called her teacher felt incredibly uncomfortable; at least Doro felt he'd never be able to accept the title in this lifetime. Anything he wanted to say, he just swallowed—perhaps Ah Xion knew what he wanted to say, so she called him that intentionally, refusing dialogue. It wasn't Doro who refused conversation, but the Sword Saint.

"I'll seriously consider this matter," he promised his wife.

Actually marrying Lisidorwei was truly wonderful; at least she was gentle, obedient, and willing to listen to him talk.

Being able to marry such a woman is probably a dream for many people, especially when people generally value appearance so highly, and Lisidorwei's looks are understandably striking.

Upon hearing his words, Lisidorwei felt quite relieved. She thought for a moment and said, "Recently, I've heard something humans say."

"What?"

"They say, 'When a child is quiet, they're definitely up to something.'"

Doro paused for a moment: "I think I've heard something like that; it suggests that children are usually very noisy, so if suddenly they're quiet, unless asleep, they're certainly up to something… Do you want a child?"

Lisidorwei blushed somewhat, casting Doro a glance: "That's not what I meant… What I mean is… don't you feel the Demon King has been rather quiet recently?"

"..."

This was somewhat biased. Before encountering her, Mohe was able to serve drinks and work as a waitress in a maid uniform at a small town for several years; she's just been quiet temporarily… Although Doro wanted to comfort himself this way, instinct told her that Lisidorwei was right—in recent times, the Demon King seemed to be avoiding her on purpose. Initially, Doro thought the Demon King was giving him and Lisidorwei space…

But now Lisidorwei pointed it out, something seemed off. After all, is the Demon King really that considerate? She certainly is, but she's even more fond of playing with people's mindsets and disgusting them.

So if she hasn't been causing trouble for so long, she's likely truly up to something.

Speaking of causing trouble, two places have been the hottest recently: Butuo City and the Ice and Snow Kingdom, but they just returned from Butuo City, so what Mohe is plotting can only relate to the Ice and Snow Kingdom.

Yet…

Does engaging in such conflict benefit the Demon King, or does it bring her joy?

At this moment, Doro saw a crow fly into the courtyard.

That wasn't a good sign.

Moreover, that crow seemed...

"Anyway, you must keep an eye on her. If she meddles with the Ice and Snow Kingdom again, it indicates she's indeed reclaiming control over the Otherworld, Mr. Doro, at that time, you..."

When the time comes, what choice should the Hero make?

Perhaps one day, Doro must face Mohe in battle again.

What does Doro desire for his life now? Lisidorwei didn't know; she gradually began to understand what Doro meant by "you don't truly love me." She couldn't truly comprehend Doro's inner thoughts, nor did she know exactly what he wanted. She was merely following her own will in marrying Doro.

To Doro, what exactly does the Demon King Mohe represent?

...

Uncertain if he realized it.

As a matter of fact, Mohe has now reclaimed many of her components: the eternal symbol of her left hand, the cursed symbol of her right hand, the symbol of advancement of her left foot, and the alchemy symbol of her lungs.

Of thirteen components, she's retrieved four.

She can already start performing various incredible feats; the crow that flew into the courtyard this time is a magical creature she created, don't be fooled by its appearance as just a crow—that's the same nature as the Phoenix. Speaking of which, when will the original Phoenix resurrect? Calculating time, it's about these years since the last one died, nearing a hundred years ago, isn't it?

Back then, Doro hadn't even been born.

However, Mohe's is a knock-off Phoenix, but in some sense, it's not inferior to the so-called Phoenix—this thing revives faster than the Phoenix, but lacks any combat power.

In other words, it only possesses the nature of being "immortal," akin to Mohe's own eternity.

A creation of eternal, advancement, and alchemy happening together.

Of course, it also carries some curses itself.

No matter how it's killed, it will immediately revive; if it's killed repeatedly, the killer will be cursed.

As long as Mohe isn't dead, this crow won't die.

More importantly, this crow is connected to Mohe.

This involves the power of Mohe's eyes, eyes that can transcend distance.

Having retrieved four components, she can already restore part of the symbolic powers of her other unrecovered body parts. So this plain crow will replace Mohe, continuously fly, fly to the Ice and Snow Country, observe the circumstances there, and cause some trouble.

No need for her presence. After all, knowledge inherently possesses the power to overturn everything; she doesn't need to be present—even if she was, she wouldn't directly engage in any battle, better not be there, as long as there is something to convey her will.

Mohe couldn't help but reflect, she's also made quite a few changes!

Since becoming human, her way of doing things had altered. Previously, she would never create something solely to withstand attacks and deliver messages. After all, it didn't align with her aesthetics—but now, unexpectedly she found it quite alright, aesthetically pleasing, and upon creation, much more satisfying than imagined.

"Ah! Everything in the world is always in a state of change, even the Demon King is no exception. Time forever changes me, yet my time shall never change."

She stood by the window gazing, then turned around, looking at her room's doorway: "Ah Xion, do you have any interest in taking a trip to the Dwarf Kingdom?"

"What do you intend to do? There's no reason for me to obey your orders."

"How cold… Sword Saint, aren't you supposed to aid the weak?"

"I never do such things."

Mohe pursed her lips uninterestedly: "You also wouldn't want me to tell Doro about your affair with the Wise King, would you?"

"What do you mean by affair?"

"You said, Saintess Charlette collaborated with the Wise King, promised to marry the Wise King afterward, so you Sword Saint cooperated with the Wise King; isn't there further dealings privately?"

"I did no such thing!"

Mohe spread her hands: "You claim you didn't, so you didn't? The key point is whether our Mr. Doro believes it! Do you think Mr. Doro would believe you?"

"He would certainly believe me!"

"As you said, he probably would trust you. After all, your being or not being something hardly matters to him. It wouldn't hurt him anyway, so why not believe you?" Mohe said, with an indifferent and irritating look, "Do you think I'm making sense?"

Ah Xion remained silent.

Mohe's smile returned to her face: "So, help me with this trip, and I'll assist you in winning over Doro."

She took out a familiar little pink bottle from her space: "Do you recognize this? It's an amazing tool that can be used when the time comes. An intense drug even dragons couldn't withstand—This was a specially created drug I synthesized back in the day for different dragon breeds breeding, attempting to recreate now is difficult… The stronger the body, the better the effect, perfect for you two."
