"I felt it..."

"The pain from Mother Earth, Attila..."

A section of dead wood bobbing up and down in the sea.

A little lamb wearing gold-rimmed glasses stands on it, just like a human, raising its tender little head and quietly gazing at the blazing sun in the sky.

"Scorching heat and destruction... Is this the backlash from destiny...?"

"Sang Aisi's life force is also withering away... It seems I'm the only one left again..."

The little lamb seemed to be thinking of some sad memory, and sighed with a sorrowful expression.

"It seems we need to speed things up."

At this moment, under the sunlight, countless black and white lotus flowers covered the surrounding sea surface, surrounding the piece of dead wood at the lamb's feet.

And below the black and white lotus, in the deep blue sea.

Thin, black vines, resembling blood vessels, are connecting the roots of these black and white lotus flowers.

The other end of the black vines extended all the way to the silt on the seabed.

Thump thump...

As the lamb sighed, an unknown wave slowly emanated from the silt at the bottom of the sea, causing the vast ocean area, spanning nearly a thousand miles, to tremble slightly.

.........................................

I heard that sudden knock on the door.

Bai Shi's heart tightened, and he quickly turned his head, staring intently at the door, holding his breath.

Even the colorful sparrow next to Master Bai turned its head away nervously and covered its beak with its two large wings, afraid of making a sound.

Knock knock....

Knock knock....

The knocking sounded again.

The sound was extremely steady, as if a heartless puppet was standing outside the door, knocking tirelessly.

As the knocking continued, the light from the only candle in the room grew dimmer. The flame flickered slightly, as if it might go out at any moment.

The light in the room gradually dimmed.

At the same time, a chilling sense of dread gradually enveloped the hearts of the person and the bird in the room.

This caused both the human and the bird to tremble involuntarily.

It's not that Master Bai is timid.

Rather, this sense of fear seems to originate from the soul.

No matter how firm Bai Shi's beliefs were, he could not control the emotional fluctuations in his heart.

Just as Master Bai was looking at the increasingly dark room, preparing to use his talent to transform and fight to the death with the being outside the door.

The knocking stopped abruptly.

The fear that had made Master Bai tremble gradually dissipated as the knocking stopped.

The candlelight in the room slowly brightened.

A peaceful and serene atmosphere permeated the room, fueled by the flickering candlelight.

call....

Seeing this scene.

Master Bai breathed a sigh of relief.

She knew she had escaped danger once again.

Unless absolutely necessary, Master Bai really didn't want to leave this room.

Because this town is so eerie, and the monsters in it are impossible to kill, once you leave, you'll be trapped in endless battles until you die from exhaustion.

When Master Bai first arrived, the island looked normal.

But when Master Bai entered this dilapidated town, which appeared deserted from a distance...

Everything has changed.

The entire town came to life instantly.

Master Bai strongly suspected that he might have encountered a ghost or monster from ancient Chinese legends.

Because...they look so alike.

As Master Bai looked at the now calm doorway, his mind wandered.

Phew!

A gentle breeze came from Bai Shi's left ear. Thinking it was the bird breathing, Bai Shi was about to move away from the bird.

But to my astonishment, I discovered...

The little bird is clearly perched to her right!

That....

What's on the left?!

Phew!

Another gentle breeze...

Candle....

It's off...

Darkness enveloped the entire room.

At this moment, the lights of the bustling town outside the window cannot shine into the room at all.

It's as if these lights are just a false illusion.

............................................

"Aaaaaah!!!~"

A slightly frightened, childish scream echoed throughout Pineapple Castle.

Li Qingyu frowned in his sleep, then felt a weight on his body, as if something had crawled into the blanket.

Um!?

A sneak attack?!

Li Qingyu suddenly opened his eyes.

She sat up and threw off the covers.

The second child, Lilith, was seen hugging her own leg, her eyes closed, trembling.

Li Qingyu breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing that it was Lilith.

After stretching comfortably, Li Qingyu asked speechlessly, "What's wrong? You're so old and still having nightmares?"

"Beep beep!~"

Lilith looked at Li Qingyu with tears in her eyes, her expression pitiful.

Then Lilith pointed to the small bed that came with the Pineapple Castle and began to complain.

"You're saying there's something wrong with this bed... that sleeping on it will give you nightmares?"

"Bang!!"

Lilith nodded her little head affirmatively.

Li Qingyu looked at the small bed he had slept in for several days and scratched his chin.

Could it be...?

This is what Crimson was referring to as the side effects of Pineapple Castle's evolution—the bed has become a bed that gives people nightmares?

Goodness, thank goodness I wasn't asleep.

After glancing at the crib, Li Qingyu noticed that Qiqi had also gotten up.

He was sitting on the edge of the ideal bed, looking at Lilith lying between his legs with curious eyes.

General Hua, lying on the luxurious bed, hadn't changed much except for shifting from lying upright to lying sideways; he was still fast asleep.

Mu Xi was woken up, but after seeing that Li Qingyu was alright, she lay back down.

Hmm...

So, it seems only Qiqi woke up?

How long did I sleep?

Why does he feel so refreshed, but everyone else is still asleep...? This doesn't make sense!

With a sense of doubt, Li Qingyu casually opened the task panel and glanced at the time.

Um!?

He only slept for less than three hours?

Am I getting old? Can't sleep anymore?

[Crimson: In short, the effect of the ideal bed is a 500% increase in the body's recovery attributes, so if you sleep for three hours, it's equivalent to sleeping for eighteen hours.]

Congratulations! You have achieved an accomplishment...
