My Weekly Refreshing Mentor Spirit-Chapter 284 - 267: Let Me Take a Look

The Heart Stealer discovered himself and let his daughter get close to him.

This isn’t entirely a bad thing. At the very least, it lets them know that the World Consciousness hasn’t completely died out and can still occasionally put some pressure on the Divine King.

One could even say it caused a lot of pressure. Otherwise, the Divine King wouldn’t have thrown his own daughter down like merchandise to tempt the world’s chosen protagonist.

Although it’s currently unknown exactly how many children the Divine King has, let’s assume it’s a lot — say, 100.

In ancient times, there were a few emperors with that many children, but when they wanted to marry off their daughters to nomadic tribes, it seemed they didn’t really send their biological daughters. It was often nieces of the split family or daughters of distant relatives, or even sisters framed with a title and sent over.

And since this girl can elicit such a big reaction from the Angels, she must be of direct blood relation. As long as it’s not involving those particularly abstract people, the emperors in ancient feudal times wouldn’t have sent their direct daughters off for marriage alliances.

Or perhaps, is the Heart Stealer really just that abstract?

Xue Dili decided not to continue guessing. Right now, there was a most perfect intelligence provider right before his eyes.

While the young lady opposite was still busy moving the miscellaneous items, her cheeks ruddy, Xue Dili immediately stretched out his fingers, sunlight pouring down, casting uneven lines across his face.

"The, world!"

At this moment, time stopped. Xue Dili teleported to her side, lifted his hair to reveal his pupils, stared at her, and found that the first complete hypnosis actually failed.

"Charm!"

"And, the second complete hypnosis!"

This time, the control succeeded. After completing two rounds of illusion technique control, Xue Dili returned to his original position and resumed the pose he had before.

Time resumed at this moment.

The young lady opposite was stunned for an instant, then her cheeks suddenly turned scarlet.

No one knew what she thought of, but Xue Dili only knew that the hypnosis should have taken effect. Just now, when he released the complete hypnosis, he felt a very strong resistance, making him realize that it should be some kind of protective mechanism on her body.

Or perhaps some sort of protective artifact, making his first complete hypnosis ineffective.

But it didn’t matter. Xue Dili promptly followed up with a chain of Charmed, then added another chain of complete hypnosis.

This time, the control worked. Her artifact seemed to be the type that could block one or two attempts within a certain duration, but during the Time Stop, Xue Dili effectively applied the illusion technique to her three times within 0.0000001 seconds of real-time.

Clearly, even if it’s an artifact, being hit by three rounds of illusion techniques in such a short time made it falter, and it was this falter that Xue Dili seized upon.

Xue Dili immediately said, "My name is Xediles, may I ask yours?"

He followed the little general’s suggestion to use a fake name.

Xue Dili was unaware that the little general far in the Great Demon Beast Forest had given him the fake name "Hajimede," otherwise he would’ve twisted his face in a manic fit of sarcasm.

"Yes... oh, my name is Lan Lin’Er, a mage specializing in Healing." She looked at Xue Dili, suddenly shyly turned her head, her hands seemingly unconsciously scratching at each other’s palms.

"Yes? No, no, I am called Xediles, read it separately, not as a single word." Xue Dili explained.

The pronunciation of the people in this world seems to tend to read things together, just like his name "Xedile" which was read together to sound like "Yes," and that’s why the name sounds like it has that pronunciation.

"Sorry, I mispronounced it." She immediately bowed to apologize. Although now she still looked like a demure little Nanliang, she probably had long forgotten that she was disguised as a boy in a male dormitory, right?

Given her acting skills and self-discipline, Xue Dili wondered why the Heart Stealer sent her over to execute this mission. Could it be that the Heart Stealer actually hoped that the Hero would soon discover that his roommate was a girl?

Now this girl suddenly looked like a shy flower, her legs unconsciously drawn together. Someone who didn’t know her identity might feel a chill if they witnessed this moment.

If he couldn’t figure it out, he wouldn’t think about it anymore. Xue Dili was never a person to self-cannibalize; he immediately pretended like a slow-witted guy saying, "I am the second son of the Oz family from the Divine Capital, currently an official Plant Element mage."

The information Xue Dili shared was from the person he was pretending to be; he wasn’t worried about leaking anything since it wasn’t his own.

As for that person being a Plant Element mage, Xue Dili figured he could fill in as Plant Element, though he currently only knew Tree Realm Descent, Wood Dragon, and Tree Root Burial, unable to produce more powerful Plant Element techniques yet.

"My... my father is the patriarch of the Divine Race, I’m the only daughter in the family..." As she spoke about her family situation, she suddenly paused for quite a while, and even the most naive person could see she was lying.

But it did not matter, Xue Dili did not need to know the complete truth. Using the guise of the Divine Race, he could actually learn more.

What surprised him, though, was this seemingly not-so-smart girl, at the same level of silliness as the Little Dragon Lady, actually being the Heart Stealer’s only daughter.

Heh, that’s interesting.

Xue Dili immediately started piecing together the intelligence he needed indirectly, and after this child fabricated her own identity as being from the Divine Race, she began layering settings one after another.

In just half an hour, Xue Dili had even managed to extract information on the color of her shorts, or why her chest was wrapped.

...

Meanwhile, in the Great Demon Beast Forest.

The once Dragon Queen had completely transformed into a slender, well-proportioned... Lizard Person?

The Transformation was incomplete, or rather, the Demon Beasts hadn’t yet reached the level of complete Transformation, causing even this Red Dragon Queen to appear as a half-human, half-lizard, Half-Dragon maid figure after Transformation.

Even this Transformation level, in the world of the Old Demon Emperor, would only be considered a mimicry. The Old Demon Emperor’s level of Transformation was even higher, as Xue Dili, the Old Demon Emperor, always complained that he looked like a mimicry of a combination of centipede and lizard.

This Queen had a skin appearance like scales, and her head had the Half-Dragon characteristic of a human head.

If Xue Dili were here, he would certainly say, "Where did this feminine version of Doctor Lizard come from?"

However, the Dragon Queen seemed very satisfied with her Transformation, eagerly examining her new image, and then used scale control to give herself a set of biomass clothing.

But those scales could at most cover the important parts.

The young officer also nodded, it seemed that most of the Great Demon Beast World hadn’t yet reached the stage of completely transforming into the Venerable King’s form. It appeared it would take at least another one hundred thousand years for them to fully assume a human form.

Although in human aesthetics, this energetic lizard-headed Half-Dragon form still seemed beyond comprehension, from the dragon’s perspective, perhaps this was the most beautiful appearance.

The young officer had a sense of discovering inner beauty. He would not use his aesthetics to view other species, but rather stand from the perspective of the opposite species’ aesthetic angle to view them.

For instance, when he looked at cats, he could find that the tabby cat was the most beautiful cat from a cat’s aesthetic, whereas the ragdoll cat, pretty in human aesthetics, was ugly in the eyes of cats.

However, this Half-Dragon appearance was already a much more evolved form.

It reached the level worthy of the World Consciousness’s attention.

"My lord... no, my young master, I have no way to repay your kindness except by working without end to eternally repay you." The lizard-headed Half-Dragon Queen gently bowed, "Young master, as repayment, I am willing to offer you my most valuable possession."

She opened a barrier deep inside the cave and said, "Young master, inside is the most beautiful and best-looking thing in the world."

"Hmm? What’s so beautiful?" The young officer curiously moved closer and asked, "Let me take a look."

"You can see it." The Half-Dragon Lizard Person Queen silently sealed the cave entrance.

Then, she led the young officer into a place deep within the cave where no one could find, which was their location.

...

Xue Dili walked silently through the campus, observing the living conditions of everyone here.

Meanwhile, Lan Lin’Er chirped around Xue Dili like a little follower, not even bothering to hide her voice, which sounded like a clear nightingale.

Originally, people would only think of her as a little Nanliang, but now even passersby knew she was a tomboy dressed in boyish attire.

That coy and dependent appearance was hard for a little Nanliang to mimic.

But Xue Dili just perfunctorily responded to her on the surface, occasionally asking about matters happening in the school, but in reality, he was entirely engaged in a discussion with the Angel inside him about the newly gained intelligence.

The Heart Stealer still did not know his true identity. He even thought he was a "transmigrator," who came to this world to cultivate the World Tree.

As for why he dedicated himself to cultivating the World Tree, or the Divine Wood, he didn’t even know, just following the underlying code pushing him to cultivate the Divine Wood desperately.

He married a local native girl and had a daughter, living freely with his family in the Divine Realm.

This is what is terrifying about the Heart Stealer. They act entirely according to pre-established plans, without even knowing the process themselves; they didn’t even know they were world invaders, so before he used the abilities of the Divine Wood, the World Consciousness and Angels did not know he was an invader.

By the time they realized, it was too late.

The descendants of the brothers and friends who once helped him overthrow the Angel’s rule became the current Divine Race. By monopolizing all the world’s resources, they forced common people to rely on having children to survive, creating a life-based system.

If air and water could be monopolized, Xue Dili believed these Divine Race families would monopolize even air and water to the limit.

Xue Dili understood how this race survived, so he felt a deep sense of sadness for this civilization.

Civilization, they didn’t have civilization anymore.

No history, no culture, no unique music and customs, no sense of righteousness, propriety, wisdom, faith, or morality. The Teach Nation’s people now only held the obsession of continuously having children to receive subsidies and wanted desperately to bear children with magic abilities.

Their civilization had eroded to the point of gradually devolving into a Half-Beastman form.

"I will leave the school tomorrow to see the environment of the entire Divine Capital." Xue Dili said, ignoring the sight of pregnant girls everywhere on campus.

He silently opened a book and wrote.

"Innovation Era: Second Day, Celestial Fire"
