"You are a good person!"
"You are a good person!"
"You are a good person!"
The words pierced through him, and in an instant, Xiar recalled that confession he had made under the encouragement of his close friend. The other party had said the same thing to him, casting a shadow over his college life for the next two years, turning him into a laughingstock among those troublesome peers.
"You make me feel very close, like family, someone who wouldn't hurt me. Do you know me?" Jin looked up at him, her face filled with anticipation, much like a curious kitten.
"I'm sorry, but I can't remember where we've met. Perhaps we've never met at all," Xiar shook his head.
The original owner of this body was born across the ocean in the Harrison Empire. From birth until he took over, the farthest place he had ever been was just the neighboring Antu County. How could he possibly have encountered this girl from thousands of miles away?
He could have used this opportunity to admit familiarity and gain her trust, just like that girl who lived with her.
However, under the gaze of those pure, innocent eyes, Xiar felt no inclination to lie.
"Maybe so. I can sense that you're not lying, but we must have some kind of connection. I want to ask you to help me find my past memories. Is that okay?" Jin clasped her hands together in a pleading gesture.
Unable to resist, Xiar reached out and gently patted her head, feeling the softness beneath his hand, reminiscent of the orange cat he had raised before. He smiled and replied, "Of course..."
Suddenly, a terrifying sound erupted around him, causing his ears to ring and plunging him into a state of dizziness.
Immediately after, a massive figure materialized, tearing through space as it approached him from afar.
The surrounding space shattered like glass, revealing an abyss of darkness where black, filthy liquid flowed, evoking an instinctive sense of revulsion and hostility within him.
A loud bird call echoed through the air, and he vaguely saw the wings behind the girl beside him expand dramatically, transforming into enormous wings stretching dozens of meters.
The wings were entwined with flames, one side dark red like blood, the other side brilliant like gold, revealing a massive and mysterious bird totem.
The flames surged, and a noble aura poured down, enveloping everything.
In an instant, the world before Xiar shattered like a mirror. He felt a dizzying spin, and when calm returned, he found himself back in reality!
Chirp chirp! Buzz! Squeak!
The sounds of various insects, the wind, and rustling leaves filled his ears as Xiar took deep breaths of the cool air tinged with an inexplicable floral scent, finally shaking off the terrifying experience he had just endured.
It was like waking from a nightmare, making him want to scream, but he forced himself to suppress that impulse.
When he regained his composure and wanted to ask the girl about what had happened, she had already vanished without a trace.
"Things are getting more interesting; I just experienced such a fantastical journey, as mysterious as a dream," Xiar murmured, wiping the sweat from his forehead.
He was astonished to discover that despite having walked for what felt like a long time in that world, the position of the moon above him had not changed at all. Clearly, the flow of time in the two worlds was completely different.
Upon returning to his room, Erin hurried over and asked with concern, "Xiar, are you okay? What did that person want with you?"
"I'm fine. They just asked me about some matters regarding the Enforcement Team and wanted me to testify. Then Garfield Teacher asked me to help out, which is why I only just got back. I was too busy to notify you earlier; sorry for worrying you," Xiar replied with a smile.
Erin helped him take off his coat and hung it on a nearby rack. She sighed in relief and said, "I thought something had happened to you since you didn't come back for so long. I'm glad you're okay... Not that I was worried about you or anything!"
She seemed to remember something, her cheeks flushing slightly, causing Xiar's mouth to twitch as he felt an urge to retort—Tsundere ruins a life.
But he wisely changed the words on the tip of his tongue: "Erin, how is your study progress? Do you need any financial assistance?"
"No, no, I still need about a month to complete the assigned study tasks," the girl hurriedly waved her hand.
"Oh, if you need anything, just let me know. I’m not short on money. As a Master Cartographer, it's easy for me to make money; I can earn a fortune just by creating some Inheritance Factor maps," Xiar said casually, embodying the typical wealthy nobleman.
Erin looked at him with some concern. "Don't be so reckless. I don't know when you acquired your master-level Mapping ability, but there hasn't been another young master like you in all of History!"
"You must keep it a secret; absolutely do not tell anyone easily, or it will bring great disaster..."
"You’re not just anyone!" Xiar interrupted her, as if it were obvious.
"I... I’ll go rest now. I still have class tomorrow," the girl stammered as if she had been struck by something, hurriedly returning to her room.
Xiar revealed a mischievous smile. He hadn't expected this girl to be so affected by his casual words; it seemed she truly had feelings for him.
Well, he would never admit it; he was using the very techniques he had learned in his past life to attract women—looks really could get one far!
He sighed lightly and, after a quick wash-up, headed into the basement.
To be honest, he didn’t dislike her. Moreover, she held significant importance for him. If he wanted to use this relationship to keep her firmly by his side, it would be quite easy to accomplish.
However, he didn’t want to rush things; he preferred to let everything unfold naturally.

The next day, Xiar arrived early at the laboratory to continue his previous work.
Dressed in a white lab coat, Gafiel began his lesson, explaining various concepts related to Bloodline Fusion that approached the core of the subject.
This was the result of all his hard work over time, combined with his exceptional talent, which made Gafiel realize his importance and increasingly treat him as a disciple worthy of cultivation.
"Transplanting different organs requires first addressing the issue of rejection. Here, you can utilize the Spirit Technique I taught you earlier. Next, modify a creature on your own and show me the results of your learning," Gafiel instructed.
"Understood, teacher. Please wait a moment."
Xiar picked up an Experimental Octopus and then grabbed some peculiar Crimson Vines from nearby, calmly beginning the surgery.
