Qin Xiao transmigrated into a world where dimensional secret realms had merged. It was an alternate urban world where the entire populace made contracts with beasts. After turning 18, everyone woul...
Qin Xiao was still lost in the sea of books in the library, completely unaware that his precious treasure had already begun to fool his older sister.
"Qin Xiao, take a look at this book. It contains information about cults."
Ye Qingya walked over carrying a thick ancient book.
Qin Xiao put down the record of customs and took the ancient book.
The contents of the book have been fully scanned by the bracelet, and the key parts can be opened directly.
Qin Xiao read it carefully and found that the cults recorded here were somewhat strange.
Based on his previous knowledge, the cult in this world should be the god Crimson Lord.
However, the evil god recorded in this book is not the Crimson Lord.
According to this book, the origin of cults in this world comes from a god of bewitching.
Judging from the name, it probably isn't anything good.
Moreover, as soon as Qin Xiao saw the name, he immediately recognized it as the whispering Grey Whisperer that the Zerg Queen had mentioned.
But why are those cultists I encountered clearly followers of the Crimson Lord?
What's going on?
Could it be that this unfortunate Grey Whisperer... has had their base raided again?
Qin Xiao flipped through the document for a while longer, but apart from a large number of vague records and aimless insults, there was no other information.
However, Qin Xiao noticed that it mentioned another forbidden area in this world.
Bloodstained cave.
According to the book, the Bloodstained Caverns were the place where the belief in evil gods first appeared.
The former bloody cavern was inhabited by dark, shadowy creatures and strange beasts.
However, it doesn't mean that civilization and order completely disappeared.
This place, though once underground, also housed kingdoms, tribes, and other forms of civilization.
However, the Bloodstained Caverns have now become a paradise for strange beasts, a world in complete chaos.
Qin Xiao put down the book and began to think frantically.
However, given the limited clues, it is too early to draw a conclusion.
"How's it going? Have you got any ideas?" Ye Qingya asked curiously, looking at Qin Xiao, who was deep in thought.
She was still unclear about what Qin Xiao wanted to figure out, so she seemed a little confused.
Qin Xiao made no attempt to hide anything and simply told the story. He then raised a layer of psionic energy shield.
"During the league, I worked with that person to wipe out the lair of an evil god and obtained a treasure."
This treasure reacts with the dragon bone we obtained here before, and the dragon bone is integrated into this treasure.
So I came back to this world because I felt there might be some secret behind it that I wanted to figure out.
Now it seems that the origin of this cult, the evil god, is very likely the same evil god I encountered in the league.
That treasure might very well have been obtained by this evil god after he killed the original owner of the dragon bone.
But now, it involves the cultists we encountered before; those people are clearly followers of the Crimson Lord.
I'm a little confused about the relationships involved; it's possible that more than one god has descended upon this world.
Now that this book reveals that the Bloodstained Caverns are the birthplace of a cult, I'm tempted to go down there and take a look.
Qin Xiao briefly explained the situation in one breath, and Ye Qingya listened to Qin Xiao's thoughts.
She didn't ask what the treasure was, but something that could make Qin Xiao so serious was probably not something easily given away.
"If it's really as complicated as we think, then isn't going to the underground caves a bit too risky?"
Ye Qingya raised her concerns.
Qin Xiao shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be that bad. When we wiped out the cult, no evil gods descended."
So far, the Dimensional Army has developed in many places in this world, so there shouldn't be any special beings in this world.
Furthermore, the Bloodstained Caverns are open to social forces and guilds, so the danger should still be within acceptable limits.
Ye Qingya thought for a moment, "If you've really made up your mind, then go and take a look."
Danger always comes with reward; you never know, there might actually be something extraordinary inside.
After all, for two gods to descend upon this place, there must be something extraordinary about it.
"My wife knows me best. If I don't go and see her, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep."
Qin Xiao smiled, then teased.
Ye Qingya pinched his face and covered his mouth with her hand, "Don't say it!"
"Wife, wife, wife, I'll tell you, I'll tell you, I'll tell you!"
"Ah~~" Ye Qingya blushed and turned to head deeper into the library.
Qin Xiao chuckled foolishly, then followed after him, looking just like a stalker.
It is inappropriate for a man and a woman to be alone in a room, let alone a man and a woman who have just established a relationship and are in the midst of passionate love.
The two were joking around when Qin Xiao, using the excuse of having wet hands to turn the pages of the book, took advantage of the situation.
Finally, as the sun began to set, the two men, who had spent most of the day in the library, emerged from their hiding place.
Slovic stood in the doorway, smiling broadly.
"Ahem, how did your chat with your sister go?" Qin Xiao asked, feigning interest.
Slovic smirked. "Well, we were having a good chat, but then a waiter kept reporting that the library was haunted, with people laughing and making noise all the time."
Qin Xiao's expression tightened as Ye Qingya grabbed his waist from behind and twisted it hard.
"Is this library still being monitored?"
Seeing Qin Xiao's flustered appearance, Slovic covered his mouth and chuckled, "Hehe, just kidding your master!"
Qin Xiao rubbed his teeth, looking at Slovic who seemed particularly pleased.
"Xiao Qi, are you so happy because you want to be severely punished, or is there something good happening?"
Slovic tossed his head, turned around, and took Ye Qingya's arm as they walked away, saying, "I won't tell your stinky master."
Hey, this is outrageous! Tonight, I'm definitely going to punish them severely with both carrot and stick!
As they talked and laughed, the group left the palace.
Since the palace was full of Swan Clan members and males could not stay overnight, Slovich simply took Qin Xiao back to the Adventurers' Guild.
Walking on the main street of the imperial city, the three of them strolled around and ate as they went.
It's quite a unique experience to relax like this in another world once in a while.
Back at the Adventurers' Guild, it was even more bustling that evening.
Given Qin Xiao's somewhat conservative values and worldview, it was hard for him to bear watching.
I was surprised to see such a scene last time I came!
He turned to look at Slovich, "You never imagined your life would be so exciting, Your Highness Princess Slovich."
Seeing Qin Xiao's ambiguous smile, Slovic grew anxious.
"Master, I, I didn't participate at all, don't slander me."
Tsk tsk, Qin Xiao looked at the platform in the center, where a large group of half-beast girls were each leading a slave.
Looking at the signboard hanging in the Adventurers' Guild, it seems today is a carnival in the Beast Spirit World.
It is called 'Slave Festival'.
It is said to be in memory of a slave who bravely sacrificed himself for his master.
On this day, the noblewomen would bring out their best slaves to compete.
They will engage in a comprehensive exchange, considering all aspects including form, strengths, power, technique, and timing.
Then they would exchange skills and finally the audience and participating ladies would vote to select the champion.
Hiss, the scene was too gruesome. Qin Xiao led the group upstairs quickly.
Halfway there, Slovic gently pulled Qin Xiao's arm.
"Master, do you also want to celebrate the holiday?"
