Kane and the others didn't stay long; they headed straight out of the camp towards the fortress in the rear.

After handing their warhorses over to the soldiers guarding the fortress gate, they quickly returned to their stone cabin.

Right now, they didn't want to do anything else but take a good bath, clean the bloodstains off themselves, then have a wonderful sleep to restore their spirit, preparing for the impending demon attack.

On the other side, in the fortress command post.

A soldier was reporting something to Commander Sakerem.

After listening to the soldier's report, Commander Sakerem nodded.

"Commander Kane's squad has returned, huh? Let's not disturb them for now; let them have a proper rest."

Then he turned towards his subordinates and said: "Send two soldiers to guard their door, make sure no one else bothers them, and call them over once they're awake."

Afterward, Commander Sakerem returned to the sandbox and began to carefully study the distribution of forces on it.

...

With a shake and wobble, Kane opened his eyes.

Feeling the motion from below him, Kane shook his head helplessly, lifted the blanket, and jumped off the bed.

And the bed underneath Kane was Cotton Candy. Cotton Candy was asleep, bubbles of snot puffing from its nose, unaware of what it was dreaming about; its body was still shaking.

Lately, for some reason, Cotton Candy has always wobbled its body while sleeping.

As Kane flipped off the bed and looked at Cotton Candy's body, he couldn't help but feel, whether it was his illusion or not, that Cotton Candy seemed to have grown a bit bigger.

Since the last time Cotton Candy aged, he hadn't seen it grow bigger, so perhaps it was entering a growth phase again.

After all, Cotton Candy was still a youngster.

When we were young, didn't parents often say, each day a teenager looks different?

When buying clothes, they'd always buy one size up, so they'd last longer without constantly purchasing new ones.

The best excuse for buying new clothes when young is that the clothes no longer fit.

Stretching lazily, Kane looked up at the room's sole window at the top.

He could see the sky outside had completely darkened.

Looks like this nap took him straight into the night.

After washing up in the bathroom and dressing in casual clothes, he went to the living room.

In the living room, he only saw Meizike tinkering with something on the table, seemingly researching his new potion.

And next to him, Little Fairy was playing a ghost-catching game with her silly ghost.

The two little ones flitted around Meizike, who remained expressionless, focused on his task.

He seemed entirely undisturbed.

Seeing Kane come out, Little Fairy instantly flashed onto his shoulder.

"Kane, how can you sleep so much? Little Fairy woke up hours ago; are you a pig?"

Listening to Little Fairy's words, Kane immediately opened Eagle Eye and scanned the entire room.

After confirming that only the three of them were up in the living room,

He grinned mischievously at Little Fairy and said, "I'm going to tell Kreya later that you called her a pig."

Hearing Kane's words, Little Fairy was furious, pulling at his ear forcefully.

"Darn Kane, Little Fairy never said that sentence. Little Fairy said you're a pig, you're the pig."

Kane shrugged and said, "But Kreya hasn't woken up either, so aren't you calling her a pig too?"

This left Little Fairy speechless; she could only angrily tug at Kane's ear.

Suddenly, with a hard tug, Kane's ear fell off.

Floating in the air, Little Fairy stared blankly at the detached ear in her hand.

Immediately looking up, she saw Kane lying on the ground screaming, both hands covering his ear, with bright red liquid leaking through his fingers.

"Ah!" Little Fairy was startled, instantly flashing to Meizike's side, shaking his shoulder.

"Meizike, save Kane quickly; Little Fairy pulled off his ear, sniff sniff sniff."

Saying so, she began to cry, tears and snot covering her face.

Alerted by the commotion, Meizike turned around, his eyes changed to Eagle Eye, then he rolled his eyes helplessly.

At this moment, Kreya, putting on some clothes, rushed out after hearing the noise outside.

At a glance, she saw Little Fairy crying.

She ran over to scoop Little Fairy in her arms, took out a handkerchief from her space equipment, wiping off the tear-stained fairy's face.

"What's wrong, Little Fairy? Why are you crying like this? Did someone bully you?"

"Waaaah, Little Fairy ripped off Kane's ear, sniff sniff sniff." Finishing her sentence, she pouted sadly and handed the detached ear to Kreya.

Hearing this, Kreya was dumbfounded. How much force must you use to rip off Kane's ear? This kind of thing probably only Longbei could do, right?

Curiously, she took the detached ear and carefully examined it.

"Sigh" she sighed helplessly.

Holding Little Fairy, she went beside the screaming Kane on the ground.

She punched Kane on the shoulder: "Are you dying or what? You're bullying Little Fairy this much."

Kane, grimacing from the punch, took his hands away from his ears, couldn't help but rub his shoulder.

Now Little Fairy saw Kane's ear hadn't broken off; it just had red liquid all over.

Flying over to take a sniff, it actually smelled like jam.

She checked her hand again at the detached ear.

It was clearly a very convincingly-made fake ear.

Even if she were silly, by now she knew she'd been tricked.

"Hahahahaha..."

Kane was lying on the ground, laughing so hard he was out of breath.

"Hahaha, I messed up my ear, hahahahaha..."

Laughing away, still constantly mimicking Little Fairy's earlier expression.

"Heeheehee!" Listening to Kane's laughter, remembering her earlier reaction, Little Fairy couldn't help but laugh too.

Next to them, Kreya looked at the two laughing together helplessly, especially at Little Fairy, fooled so naively yet happily.

After Kane had laughed enough, he slowly got up from the ground and sat on a nearby chair, panting.

Little Fairy then wiped her messy face and ran over to hug Kane's head, asking.

"Kane, sweet-tell Little Fairy how this thing is made; Little Fairy wants to play too."

Her round eyes sparkled expectantly; in her mind, she was already planning who to trick with it.

"Sure, I'll teach you later, and I'll make you a fake prop as well."

"Really? Kane's the best."

After saying that, she fluttered her wings and flew into Kreya's arms.

"Little Fairy is hungry and wants to eat sweets."

Kreya reluctantly picked up Little Fairy in her arms, affectionately saying, "Alright, no problem, whatever Little Fairy wants to eat, let's go."

Upon hearing this, Kane quickly sat forward.

"Kreya, I'm hungry too."

"You're hungry? So, you're hungry. So what?" Kreya glared at Kane irritably, then got up and walked towards the kitchen, carrying Little Fairy.

Little Fairy, with her head nestled on Kreya's shoulder, stuck her tongue out at Kane: "Pfft!"

Kane returned the same cheeky expression to Little Fairy.

Then he walked towards the door.

When he opened Eagle Eye earlier, he saw two magic power reactions guarding the door, so he decided to go ask about the situation.

Upon opening the door, he observed two soldiers standing guard.
