During the experiment,

Bochang learned from Serval that Princess Sophia had a significant historical background in Belobog, dating back over seven hundred years.

At that time, Jarilo VI was still in the interstellar era.

It's likely that Sophia held some renown on other planets as well.

Her fame and historical legacy fortuitously led to the creation of a highly intelligent familiar.

Notably, among the toys crafted by Herta, the occurrence of high intelligence is quite rare. Out of hundreds, only a few possess such capabilities.

In retrospect... it was actually the system's prompt that led Bochang to revive Sophia initially.

However...

This foul-mouthed little princess wasn't particularly helpful. She could gather information at best and serve as eye candy otherwise.

"Let's conclude today's experiments here."

After Herta finished her intended tasks, it was already evening.

The day at Luofu Immortal Continent was coming to an end.

"I'll now analyze these data and those high-intelligence familiars..." Herta glanced at the black-haired youth, "Familiars... as you call them, right, Bochang?"

With the experiments completed,

the high-intelligence familiars had not been stripped of their Mouse Talisman powers by Bochang; they remained active and obedient to Herta's commands. As for what they truly felt inside, no one could say. Regardless, for the moment, they all submitted to Herta's tyrannical authority.

Sophia sympathized with their plight, recalling how Herta had thoroughly tormented her before. Just thinking about it made her uncomfortable.

"Yes, I refer to these revived toys as familiars." Bochang spread his hands and added cautiously, "Although they are just toys, I still think... Miss Herta, please don't go too far."

Sophia, perched on Stelle's shoulder, nodded emphatically, "That's right!"

The other high-intelligence familiars glanced at the foul-mouthed little princess with envy.

Being by Bochang's side was undoubtedly preferable to serving under Herta.

Just moments ago, this doll-like girl had been utterly ruthless. Not only did she make them compete against low-intelligence familiars, but she also subjected them to various invasive procedures—pricking for blood samples, forcing them to eat, urinate, and defecate.

She even tried making them watch explicit videos to see if it would provoke any reactions.

Fortunately, Bochang intervened promptly, preventing an embarrassing spectacle in front of everyone.

"Don't worry, I know my limits; you needn't concern yourself," Herta replied, her gaze shifting to the familiars.

Seeing this...

Bochang decided not to waste any more time and led March 7th and the others out of the laboratory.

The Sky-Faring Commission had reserved premium rooms at the Yuchen Inn.

Naturally, Bochang's group would rest there for the night.

Originally, Tingyun was supposed to guide them. However...

Tingyun went missing, and they still hadn't found her.

Thus, the task of guiding fell upon March 7th, Stelle, and Welt Yang, as they had already visited the Yuchen Inn during Kafka's capture yesterday.

After some searching, Bochang's group successfully arrived at their destination.

Pushing open the wooden door of the Yuchen Inn, they were greeted by an aura of antiquity. Soft white light illuminated the entire hall, while intricately embroidered dark screens divided the inn into distinct areas, subtly revealing the proprietor's meticulous arrangement.

The subtle details hinted at the meticulous planning by the inn's owner.

In the center of the main hall stood a simple azure wooden counter. Behind it, the innkeeper diligently sorted through account books, his kindly face etched with wrinkles reflecting years of experience.

This was Xianzhou after all.

Bochang knew that the innkeeper's age could likely make him her great-great-grandfather's contemporary...

In a corner of the inn,

a young foxfolk waitress wiped dust from tables with a damp cloth, her movements gentle and practiced - clearly indicating she was an experienced server.

One might estimate her service tenure to be over a hundred years.

Yet...she still appeared as a young girl.

Such is life in Xianzhou.

The decor of Yichen Inn was not extravagant but rather inviting and unpretentious, markedly different from the Goethe Grand Hotel.

For many years, this inn had been renowned for hosting esteemed guests visiting Xianzhou.

Its quaint ambiance inexplicably brought a sense of comfort to visitors.

Bochang requested additional rooms from Bailu.

Under the guidance of a foxfolk servant,

the weary Bochang entered his assigned quarters, opened the bathroom door, and filled it with hot water for a relaxing soak.

Unlike Jarilo VI, Luofu Immortal Continent had its own bathing customs.

Here, they traditionally used wooden bathtubs instead of modern tubs.

A small bench placed inside allowed one to sit comfortably while washing.

Bochang didn't mind; as long as he could enjoy a bath, that was sufficient.

After filling the bathtub with warm water, Bochang tested its temperature, finding it just right. He undressed, submerged himself fully, and sat on the little bench. With only his head above water, he closed his eyes, savoring this brief moment of tranquility.

In Luofu Immortal Continent,

events unfolded rapidly and relentlessly, leaving Bochang barely any time to catch his breath. It was starkly different from the leisurely and enjoyable pace in Belobog.

On Luofu Immortal Continent, Bochang found himself either fighting or preparing for the next battle.

Yesterday, it was against Blade.

Today, it's Phantylia.

Bochang dare not even think about who or what might be tomorrow's opponent.

Could an Aeon suddenly appear?

"Wait...that doesn't seem entirely impossible."

He instantly recalled the Aeon of Joy - Aha. With Aha keeping an eye on him, there was no telling when the entity might show up.

Naturally, Bochang had no desire to encounter Aha.

However...

Some matters were beyond his control.

If Aha intended to confront him, nothing could stop it. Not even the combined efforts of Jing Yuan and Herta would make a difference.

The gap between an Emanator and an ordinary fate traveler was insurmountable, just as the divide between an Aeon and an Emanator.

As Bochang pondered this, he submerged his head underwater, taking a deep breath. The warm water flowed directly from his nose into his lungs. Thanks to his underwater breathing skill, Bochang felt no discomfort whatsoever; instead, it seemed quite refreshing.

As water flowed into his lungs, there was a slight discomfort.

After all, he usually breathed air, so feeling uneasy was quite normal.

While Bochang enjoyed his bath,

in another room nearby,

Stelle, March 7th, Bailu, and Serval—the four girls—were together.

What were they doing?

Naturally, playing mahjong. With idle time on their hands, finding something to occupy themselves was inevitable.

Pascal stood nearby, serving tea and refreshments.

Inside Sophia's robotic belly, a pet robot took a nap.

As for Dan Heng and Welt Yang, they remained in their own rooms, their activities unknown.

After experimenting with the Underwater Breathing skill for a bit,

Bochang recalled another ability of his—Forced Conception.

The skill description mentioned ignoring reproductive barriers, but it was unclear whether it would work on races like Vidyadhara that lack fertility.

Bochang pondered briefly.

Upon clicking open the Forced Conception skill, he noticed a Note 2 at the end:

[Note 2: Effective on all living beings, including males and genderless individuals; pregnancy can occur.]

Bochang: I think you're being somewhat extreme.jpg
