[KidAnnihilation (182): I swear I've seen this situation before but animated(heh).Man i can't remember all these nobody's names.This chick name is Nudist to me.]

…

"!!!" Feng Xiaoling widened her eyes in shock. What did he say? He was from another world? His name was Theodore Griffith? How could a human from another world get a Dao?

There were a lot of questions in Feng Xiaoling's mind, but more importantly, could he actually do it since he wasn't from this world?

The old lady looked at Feng Xiaoling for a bit before turning back to Theo and asking, "Are you coming here for the special realm?"

"She was the one who invited me." Theo pointed at Feng Xiaoling nonchalantly.

"Grandma Lin. He is—" Feng Xiaoling tried to explain, but the old lady waved her hand to stop her. "I got the gist of the situation. While I don't like an outsider trying to enter this place, it's only limited to humans or demons from this world. Having a human from another world is not something that I dislike. Besides, if you are trying to help this village, then I don't have any objections."

"Grandma Lin…" Feng Xiaoling gave a wry smile, thinking she shouldn't be too hasty in bringing Theo in.

"Since that's the case, I don't have to act like a mute girl, right?" Mia asked.

Feng Xiaoling understood Mia's words, but she could also feel the different language from her mouth as if it had been directly translated before it reached her ears.

"I don't know how much she tells you, so if you don't mind…." The old lady extended her hand, inviting Theo and Mia to come in.

Theo glanced at the dragon horses, thinking it would be rude for them to enter.

"Xiaoling, take care of the horses." Grandma Lin glared at Feng Xiaoling as if trying to punish her for bringing outsiders by forcing her to take care of the horses.

Seeing Grandma Lin's expression, Feng Xiaoling resigned to her fate and acknowledged the order. "Yes."

After that, Grandma Lin brought Theo and Mia inside while saying, "The Space Emperor made this secret realm to protect the legacy of the Feng Clan in the past. It was said that during his younger days, the Space Emperor was stranded in this place and met the future patriarch of the Feng Clan, specifically, the current patriarch's uncle, my husband."

"…" Theo raised his eyebrows, realizing why this old lady only acted cold at first. She knew the Space Emperor personally.

"My husband has passed away after fighting against the four clans, which buys us some time. While I can fight, it won't be long before the Feng Clan will be swallowed by the four clans.

"I personally don't care about what's going to happen to me, considering the only thing that will happen to me is death. However, the other youngsters in this village are different, especially Feng Xiaoling. She has the purest blood among the younger generations and is extremely beautiful.

"I can't imagine all the humiliations she will receive the moment our Feng Clan is defeated. And that solution is…"

"Her father." Theo narrowed his eyes, continuing the old lady's words.

"Yes. Her father is trying to break through to another level, but in the end, he doesn't have much time left. The time that my husband bought us is not enough. Even right now, I am already so old that it's quite hard to maintain my current realm. If this continues, my cultivation will only decline, and the Feng Clan will be destroyed sooner or later."

"I don't think that's important to me. As you said earlier, I am an outsider." Theo looked a bit cold, but he must remind her that he was here because of an agreement, not a charity.

Grandma Lin smiled wryly. "So, that's how it is. May I ask what kind of reward the girl has promised you?"

"He only promises me her phoenix tears."

"…" Grandma Lin paused for a moment. "If you can solve the crisis, let alone phoenix tears, I can promise you other things. Because of our current situation, the current patriarch has to come out and hold the fort for some time. During that time, we can get another solution to the current problem."

"I have to check the secret realm first to see if I can do something about it or not."

"Certainly. Do you want to start right away or take a break first?"

"I am on a trip, so I want to solve this matter as soon as possible before continuing my trip."

"In that case, let me guide you to the secret realm." Grandma Lin nodded gracefully and led Theo to the foot of the mountain.

Instead of a pillar, there was a structure like the frame of a gate but without the gate itself. Normal people could pass it normally, but Theo noticed the fluctuation of space energy coming from this structure.

Most likely, the Space Emperor was using this structure as the anchor of the secret realm. He didn't know where he hid this secret realm, but the concept seemed to be similar to the secret realm he was in not long ago.

"Dad?" Mia looked at her father.

On the one hand, it was said that this secret realm was dangerous. It wasn't a place where he wanted to bring his kid. On the other hand, he didn't want to leave Mia behind as this Feng Clan might be able to use her as a hostage.

After some considerations, Theo believed that he should bring Mia in. They were on vacation anyway, so they should have fun together.

"Alright. Let's go in together, shall we?"

"Can you actually go in?" Grandma Lin asked. Her expression brightened as if she had finally found some hope.

"Yeah. I need to measure the stability of the gate first, considering I have to forcefully open it. So, I will spend a few more hours to confirm the condition before opening it."

Grandma Lin hurriedly replied, "In that case, if you need anything, please feel free to tell me or that little kid, Xiaoling, anything. We'll do our best to provide everything you need."

"There's no need to be that excited. I have to confirm this first." Theo waved his hand nonchalantly.

"Is it similar, Dad?" Mia asked.

"Ehm? Yes. It has a similar concept to the one I worked on in the past. It's just that the structure is a bit weird and inefficient. In fact, the Fist Emperor's tomb has a better structure than this. I don't think I can open it for too long and bring a lot of people in. I also have to take into account the one who has been in the secret realm. I'm going to examine it first."

Grandma Lin was stunned. It seemed that Theo had a similar power in his original world. He didn't know which world Theo came from, but it was clear that she could get the Dao due to his achievement in space ability in his original world.

Feng Xiaoling had truly helped the clan.

"I will be staying here for a bit. Do you have anything that can contain a lot of energy?"

Grandma Lin thought for a moment. "We have it. Please wait for a moment."

She didn't hesitate to return to grab the item.

Meanwhile, Mia asked, "Is this place dangerous, Dad? Can I really go in?"

"We are on vacation, so of course we should go together. I don't want to have all the fun by myself." Theo chuckled, assuring Mia.

"Hehehe. Dad is the best." Mia gave Theo's cheek a peck before hugging him.

"By the way, this is the comment. You can take a look at it while I'm working on this." Theo waved his hand, showing the comment to Mia.

"What is she talking about? What does this '182' mean?" Mia asked.

"It's probably about the chapter where we first met that little phoenix."

"Oh?!" She finally understood the comments. "It's indeed hard to remember all people's names unless they have a significant impact on our lives. But maybe she won't be a nobody soon… I don't know why, but the author must be planning something for her, especially with the current setting."

Mia was implying about the fact that the author shoved her to Theo as his allies instead of enemies.

Theo just let his daughter have fun with the comments while working on the portal. Meanwhile, Grandma Lin was rushing back to the mansion.

She couldn't help but remember what Theo talked about. "Because he was an outsider, he didn't know what it meant to have Feng Xiaoling give her phoenix tears. Even though the phoenix can shed one phoenix tear every one hundred years, there is one important thing.

"The first phoenix tear they shed symbolizes loyalty. It basically means that she wants to dedicate her life to him."

Instead of reaching for the item Theo needed first, she rushed to Feng Xiaoling and said, "You brat!"

"Grandma Lin?" Feng Xiaoling was startled, not knowing her mistake.

"Did you actually say you wanted to give him your phoenix tears? You should know that you are only a hundred years old. That phoenix tear is your first tear! Do you know what I'm implying here?"

Feng Xiaoling made a wry smile. "I don't have anything else to offer. He was about to go away back then, so I had no choice."

"This…" Grandma Lin's face became pale. "You silly child. What are you doing?"

"I'm sorry. I just want Father to be saved. If I can save the entire village, this is nothing much. Besides, I don't think he is that bad as a person." Feng Xiaoling recalled how Theo reacted when he saw her naked body.

Since he wasn't interested in her, there shouldn't be much of a problem. "Humans from another world shouldn't have a long lifespan. I'm thinking about serving him as his mouth for about a hundred years until he passes away before returning here."

"…" Grandma Lin was speechless. While her words made some sense, she was still too reckless. She was the young lady of their Feng Clan, so how could she be treated like this?

In the end, she let out a long sigh before saying, "For now, I will try to think of a way to stop that from happening. I will promise him other things to annul the first agreement."

"But Grandma Lin…" Feng Xiaoling looked at her worriedly.

"Don't say anything. For now, let Xiao Qiu take care of the horses. You go to our treasury to bring out the Crack Crystal and give it to him. I am going back to see if the Feng Clan can afford his service."

Feng Xiaoling nodded, not being able to say anything after Grandma Lin said those words. She might have been a bit too rash earlier.

The problem was that Theo didn't know anything about this. In the first place, there was no way he would take Feng Xiaoling as a bride, considering he was loyal to his wife.

At the same time, Mia would definitely tell him that they should stay away from Feng Xiaoling.

After all, Mia should be able to predict Yue Yi's action when she hears that Theo chose Feng Xiaoling instead of her. In addition, Feng Xiaoling was of the phoenix race, which was the opposite of a human. Since both races had been fighting against each other for a long time, there was no way Yue Yi would do anything against her.

Still, Theo might do something else. In the end, Theo could come up with another plan for utilizing Feng Xiaoling.

However, it didn't seem that Grandma Lin or Feng Xiaoling would disclose this information since it would just make her phoenix tears look even more important.

In other words, it was up to the readers whether they would tell Theo about the true meaning of Feng Xiaoling's phoenix tears or not. It would definitely alter Theo's course of action.
