Chapter Eighty-Three: Reencountering Cid (Seeking Subscriptions)

“He’s made a move!”

Suddenly, Xue Ji, who had been playing around with Bai Luo, stopped.

The young girl’s ears twitched slightly, as if she had caught wind of something.

“To recover from injuries to this extent in just one month, you truly are the genius that Lord Bai Luo spoke of.”

Despite being separated by a hundred miles, Xue Ji still detected Cid’s presence.

He had left Baron Kagano’s territory and was heading towards the northern mountains of the domain.

“What incredible speed!”

Xue Ji was somewhat surprised, feeling that Cid seemed to have grown stronger: “No wonder Alpha acted personally; such combat strength is indeed not something an ordinary clan member can handle.”

The reason Alpha felt uneasy wasn’t due to the Diablo Sect but because of Cid.

Without Alpha, Beta and her companions would be no match for Cid at this moment.

After all, Cid was originally the main character of the Shadow World.

Cid’s strength was so formidable that calling it the ceiling of this world wouldn’t be an exaggeration.

Even though he was only eight or nine years old now, Cid could easily kill top-A combatants and face S-class warriors without falling behind.

Facing someone below a seven-digit number against a seven-digit opponent was nothing short of dimensional warfare.

If the Golden Clan encountered a monster like Cid during this operation, they would surely suffer heavy losses.

“How do you feel?”

Bai Luo teased casually: “Do you need me to step in?”

Even though Bai Luo was merely present here through a method of multitasking, allocating just a strand of his consciousness.

Should Bai Luo wish, he could crush the current Cid anytime.

A force vast enough to destroy a star system, even if only a fraction of it, was far beyond what any mere S-class warrior could oppose.

Moreover, the magic power Bai Luo had split off was more than a billionth of his total.

To put it bluntly, this random incarnation Bai Luo had conjured up possessed enough combat strength to instantly kill the present Xue Ji.

Indeed, protecting Bai Luo was purely out of mutual understanding between the two.

Xue Ji wanted to play, and Bai Luo indulged her.

“Please don’t interfere…!”

Xue Ji thought Bai Luo was underestimating her: “That person is indeed formidable, able to reach such heights through self-cultivation. I admire his talent and effort.”

“But I represent not only myself but also you, Lord Bai Luo!”

“The power you’ve bestowed upon me,” Xue Ji continued, “must never bring shame to your name!”

“Therefore, allow me to present a splendid performance on your behalf, may I?”

Xue Ji’s tone carried a hint of pleading, while deep inside, she resolved: If I can’t even accomplish this small task, I truly wouldn’t deserve your kindness.

Xue Ji knew her own weakness; there was little she could offer Bai Luo.

But at least!

At least in preserving the dignity of her master, Xue Ji wished to give her all!

“Alright then.”

Bai Luo patted Xue Ji’s head and said: “Then the next part is yours.”

“Let me see how much you’ve improved over this month.”

“Yes!”

With Bai Luo’s approval, Xue Ji was delighted.

Nine snow-white tails danced unconsciously, unable to conceal the joy within her heart.

It felt almost identical to Delta.

Especially when no one was around, Bai Luo privately noted: Xue Ji’s habits were almost exactly like a dog’s.

She loved acting cute, enjoyed being coquettish, often stuck close to him, and adored having her ears and tails rubbed.

Bai Luo walked ahead, while Xue Ji respectfully followed behind.

They moved slowly, yet every step seemed like teleportation, vanishing swiftly from the pure white landscape.

“Thief, thief, where are the thieves?”

“Are thieves becoming fewer these days?”

Meanwhile, Cid began his training as a Shadow Skill User.

A month had passed since his last encounter with Bai Luo.

Cid’s wounds healed quickly.

Not only that, he used the severe injury to achieve a risky breakthrough, rebuilding himself after collapse.

Instead of experimenting on Alpha, who was completely consumed by curses as in the original story, Cid used his own broken body as material.

One must admit, Cid’s luck was truly remarkable.

He succeeded, mastering the technique that caused magic particles to collapse, significantly boosting his strength.

According to the evaluation system of enhancements, Cid had now reached mid-seven-digit level.

“In terms of sheer destructive power, he’s already nearly on par with Alpha.”

“But that’s all—just destructive power.”

Xue Ji commented: “If he encounters Alpha’s destined sword, he will surely die!”

The absolute defense of the Sacred Domain combined with the authority of Authority Holders—these forces were practically cheating.

Especially the former.

Various Sacred Domains separated by Bai Luo’s power were capable of resisting a full-strength attack from an early six-digit entity.

A mid-seven-digit Cid posed a considerable threat to regular clan members.

However, facing Alpha, Xue Ji, Tzudoki, and others, the result would be singular—being utterly crushed!

“Pata!”

Suddenly, Cid, who had been searching for thieves, halted.

The boy turned his head and saw the white figure standing amidst the snow.

“Huh?!”

In the next instant, Cid’s pupils contracted, and his body instinctively tensed, ready to flee at any moment!

The white-eared fox girl!

Seeing Xue Ji reminded Cid of Bai Luo, the hero who suppressed him with unmatched power!

Now that Xue Ji was here, where was Bai Luo?

Could he also be nearby?

Cid, who had barely recovered from his injuries, didn’t want to confront Bai Luo again.

There was no way around it—Bai Luo was too powerful, strong enough that Cid had to avoid clashing with him directly.

“We meet again, bag-wearing boy.”

Xue Ji referred to Cid’s current attire—a paper bag with two holes cut out, serving as a mask to cover his face.

Honestly, this guy’s mind was definitely not normal.

This crude, laughable disguise treated everyone as fools.

Clearly, the nature of his magic hadn’t changed at all.

Who was he fooling?!

“Where is he?”

However, Cid ignored Xue Ji, focusing instead on Bai Luo.

Compared to Xue Ji, Bai Luo was the one who truly posed a mortal threat to him.

“Isn’t that great lord always around?”

“Didn’t you see?”

Xue Ji wasn’t annoyed by Cid’s disregard for her.

She knew that Cid hadn’t detected the concealed aura she had hidden.

In other words, Xue Ji’s mastery over magic and aura was so strong that even Cid couldn’t perceive it.

“What?”

On the other side, Cid was startled. He hurriedly looked in the direction Xue Ji pointed.

But there was nothing but a vast expanse of whiteness.

This made Cid, whose nerves were already taut from hearing Bai Luo’s name, feel both embarrassed and irritated, as if he’d been toyed with.
