Storm of Gods

Chapter 161 One Life Activated

Estella thought for a moment, ...it seemed quite scary, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what was scary about it.

The dean looked at Estella. "Are you sure you still want to use it?"

Estella nodded without hesitation, "Yes, Master."

"Take it, and remember to be back by tomorrow night."

"Yes, Master! Master is the best!" After figuring out how to use it, Estella excitedly left with "The Sorrow of the Faceless Man".

This kind of secret tool requires psionic energy to activate. This faceless man is not complicated. Put on the mask in front of a mirror, then activate the psionic energy, and imagine the appearance you want to transform into. It must be quite vivid in your mind to succeed, otherwise the face will look very strange.

Estella put on the mask, and looking at herself in the mirror was quite frightening. However, as she imagined, the face in the mirror kept changing, eventually transforming into a pretty and gentle-looking girl.

This was her maid, Arthur. She remembered her very clearly, even Arthur's daily actions. Claire, who was standing next to her, was a little confused, but she wasn't too surprised when she sensed the same aura. Chris, on the other hand, still held her head high with an air of arrogance.

"Wow, that's amazing! You probably don't even recognize me!" Estella asked excitedly.

Klee nodded and nuzzled against him again. Estella picked Klee up and looked at the proud Sunhawk. "Chris, you really should meet Mr. Cancer. You two are evenly matched."

Chris tilted her head slightly, indicating that she was not interested.

Estella, dressed in a monastery robe and wearing a hat, said, "Claire, you stay here and behave yourself. I'll be back tomorrow."

Klee shook her head, and Estella picked her up and placed her on the table. "My dear Klee, this is the most important step in my life. It's inconvenient to bring you along. Do you see any nun coming down the mountain with a noble cat?"

Klee shook her head again.

"Alright, you win." Estella picked up Klee and carried her down the mountain, while Chris let out a clear cry and soared into the air.

Never before had Estella felt the descent from the mountain so pleasant, even the surrounding scenery seemed different. Humming a song and dancing, Estella was going to the city to see what real life was like.

Early in the morning, Li Xin at the Carp Dragon Inn was a little disoriented, unsure of which world he was in. After finishing breakfast, he spent more than half an hour buying a cup of coffee. Then, looking at the printer in front of him, his task for the day was to write the food manuscript and then organize the outline of the second part.

Let's go, bro, let's get hyped!
The typewriter clattered and banged. A minute later, Li Xin wanted a cigarette. Five minutes later, he needed to go to the toilet. Damn it, for the lira, he'd give it his all!

Tied himself to a chair with a rope, Li Xin began typing furiously, banging away as if he had a grudge against the typewriter.

The soundproofing here isn't very good. It woke up the painter and magician who were sleeping in. Who's making so much noise so early in the morning? Don't they have any sense of public decency?

Daliwen and Kan looked at Li Xin typing frantically and exchanged bewildered glances. "Is Ashin really a reporter?"

"It looks like one. Is that a typewriter? He really is an intellectual!"

"I knew my place was a feng shui treasure land, producing nothing but talented people. I knew Ah Xin was a promising young man the moment I saw him. It's quite something that he managed to hook up with young master Simmons." The Dragon Mother suddenly appeared, dressed in a riot of colors. Only she could pull off such a combination of bright red and bright green.

“Of course!” Daliwen laughed.

"What do you mean 'what do you mean'? I'm talking about Young Master Xin. What does it have to do with you two good-for-nothings? Learn from Old Fang, hard work can make up for lack of talent. Who said there's no business in the morning? Why sleep so much? You can sleep as much as you want after you die. Get to work!" Daenerys's voice grew louder and louder, and then she roared like a dragon, spitting saliva all over the two men's faces, scaring Dalvey and Kane away in a panic.

"Dragon Mom, keep your voice down! You're ruining my inspiration!" Li Xin yelled from inside the room.

"Okay, young master Ah Xin, what would you like to eat for lunch? I'll have Ma Liu make it for you," the Dragon Mother said gently from outside the door.

"Anything is fine as long as it's not pork scraps or diced chicken," Li Xin said. "Don't bother me, I've almost finished my coffee and haven't written more than a few words, what a waste!"

I subconsciously patted my pocket. Sigh, it's not that I can't afford cigars, it's just that coffee is more cost-effective. *Tap tap tap tap tap tap bang... tap tap tap bang bang bang...*

While Li Xin was writing furiously, Estella... was still on the hillside, sitting on a small mound, rubbing her tender, white feet. Her shoes had been thrown aside, and her delicate calves were covered with streaks of blood from scratches by plants.

Klee meowed a few times, and Estella glared at her, "Don't be so cowardly! I've only gone a short distance and I'm already going back? Master will laugh me to death!"

Klee touched her belly; she was hungry.

"I'm the one who walks, okay!" Estella was speechless. Chris's cry came from the air, carrying a very obvious mockery. Klee on the ground waved her paws in dissatisfaction.

Her master brought her a package with food and water. Next time she goes back to the palace, she'll have to rummage through her father's place. He has some amazing tools for carrying things. At first, she didn't realize how heavy the package was, but after walking for a while, she found it quite heavy.

After the little princess and the cat finished eating, they were full of energy again. Their fatigue had long been washed away by their excitement, and they continued on their way. Nothing could stop them.

For an entire day, Li Xin pulled his hair into a mess, repeatedly revising it until he finally completed this food report—the dreamlike cuisine of the Blue Agate Ivory Bay Restaurant.

After typing the last word and looking at his manuscript, Li Xin let out a roar and jumped up. He had to submit the manuscript. Damn it, he finally finished writing it. He had used up most of his brain cells. He called a carriage to go to the Bird Newspaper. The editorial department was definitely working overtime. He had to deliver it there. Timeliness was everything. It would be best if it could be published tomorrow.

Upon arriving at the editorial office of the Bird Newspaper, the editor who greeted him was none other than Wusu, an old acquaintance. "You finished writing so quickly, you truly are a talented writer."

"Old Wu, can you help me see if this will work?"

"Okay, it's what the editor-in-chief instructed. As long as there aren't any major problems, I'll get it formatted as soon as possible." Wu Su took the manuscript, his eyes widening as he read it.

Li Xin smiled; his strong educational foundation from his previous life had given him some literary talent.

"Ahem, Li Xin, I think your content is a bit too long. The details of the food aren't clear enough. Where did the ingredients come from? What's so special about them? You can't just name the dishes randomly; they have to have the official names of the ingredients. Also, you mentioned His Highness the Prince here, which is unacceptable, and even hints are not allowed." Wu Su quickly finished reading and said tactfully, "Old Ji, take a look."

The editor next door picked it up, glanced at it a few times, and burst out laughing. "Old Wu, if this gets reported, we're one step closer to losing our jobs."

"How about taking it back and modifying it?" Old Wu said.

Li Xin was stunned. Holy crap, what have I done all day?
Li Xin exchanged some polite words, saying he would take it seriously when he got back. Standing at the entrance of the newspaper office, his mind was buzzing. What was going on? He didn't think he'd come in a convertible. Ughh ...
The sun was almost setting, but Estella's ankles were swollen from the fact that it hadn't set yet. What was going on? Why was it so far away? Was the road down the mountain really that long?
"Klee, the road ahead depends on you!" Estella patted Klee and tossed her into the air. Klee stretched out her body and tumbled in mid-air. The moment she landed, she grew larger, transforming in the blink of an eye into a giant beast over five meters tall, radiating powerful spiritual energy.

Estella jumped up, nestled in Klee's soft fur, and whimpered contentedly. Sometimes you really can't be too stubborn.

Klee nimbly darted through the dense forest with Estella, like a white shadow flying. Chris in the air let out a proud cry and quickly took the lead.

Meanwhile, Li Xin, in order to punish his own foolishness, decided to go back.

In the distant, misty continent, the gray world seemed to be filled with nothing but lifelessness.

On the 108th lighthouse outside the city of Diva, the body of Bati, whose life seemed to have vanished, continued to glow. The light came from the black knife, while the ground, which should have been stained with blood, remained clean. The blood had been absorbed by the black knife, and the wound had healed at some point. The black knife slowly disappeared into Bati's body.

But Batty was as if he were asleep. He had a nightmare, walking alone on a dark road that seemed to have no end, until his black knife appeared.

"The Great Compassionate Dakini Knife that Sees Death and Life"

The first destiny star: "If I don't go to hell, who will?" is activated.

Barty stirred on the ground, then opened his eyes. Like a drowning person, he suddenly took a deep breath, sat up, and stared at everything in astonishment and confusion. One pupil was crimson, and the other was dark gold...
