We agreed to seek enlightenment together, but how did you end up seeking enlightenment for my mother

This nearly three-meter-tall giant couldn't move around much in the corridor.

Xu Zhou took out two bottles of Swiftness Potion and, with a try-it-out mentality, stuffed the iron golem into the Infinite Storage Bag. He didn't have much hope, but to his surprise, the iron golem actually fit into the palm-sized bag.

"What else can I say? Awesome!"

The villagers' technology is terrifying!

However, Xu Zhou guessed that there should be a volume limit to this storage space, otherwise, wouldn't it be invincible to just stuff a road roller into it and throw it at anyone it sees?

Hmm... it seems the iron golems are more terrifying?

Just as I was figuring out how to figure out the layout of this mansion, a lively female voice rang out beside me, her tone carrying a hint of undisguised dissatisfaction.

"Sir, please do not wander around the mansion. The banquet will begin soon."

Xu Zhou looked in the direction of the sound and saw a young maid standing not far away, clutching the hem of her skirt. Her gray uniform was faded from washing, her short hair was tied in a ponytail at the back of her head, and her cheeks were covered with freckles. She was frowning as she looked at him.

Xu Zhou remembered his identity. On the surface, he was a guest invited to the birthday party, but the treasure hunter was obviously not among the so-called "celebrities and gentlemen". He guessed that the role he played was a fake identity.

"Oh, I'm sorry, Miss Maid, I'm just looking for the restroom. This mansion is quite unfamiliar to me."

Upon hearing this explanation, the maid's expression visibly relaxed, and she pointed to the side of the corridor behind her.

"Sir, the restroom is over there. Go straight to the end and turn left. The room with the exquisite porcelain displayed at the door is it."

"Thank you, kind lady, but I have another question..."

"This is the second floor. The banquet hall is on the first floor. Sir, please go downstairs and you will find your way when you get to the hall."

"Okay, okay, thank you again."

Xu Zhou lifted his leg to leave, and as he brushed past the maid, she suddenly called out to him.

"Oh, by the way, sir, have you seen a girl around this height, with brown hair and brown eyes?"

As the maid spoke, she measured the area at her chin.

Xu Zhou pretended to be deep in thought, paused for a moment, and then shook his head hesitantly.

"I don't seem to remember her, but if I run into her, I'll tell her that a young and lovely maid is looking for her."

"Thank you, sir. Have a pleasant dinner."

Xu Zhou smiled at the maid, then turned and left naturally.

He had actually considered using the Mantra Hair directly on the maid, but there were more important things to do right now than looking for some so-called treasure.

Find Chifeng, then kill him.

It was not only to eliminate a potential threat that could expose his secrets, but also to avenge the pastor and the innocent villagers of Dalin Village who died unjustly.

Following the maid's directions, Xu Zhou quickly found the restroom.

The washroom wasn't cramped, but it was perpetually dark, with only a few candles flickering dimly on the wall, barely illuminating a small area.

In the center stood a heavy oak washbasin with a wide-mouthed metal basin embedded in it. The edges of the basin were polished to a shine, and several rough linen square towels were folded around the basin. Water stains seeped down the cracks in the countertop, forming several dark marks.

Xu Zhou leaned against the washbasin and looked at himself in the mirror.

"The four teams each have their own hidden identities, and their respective goals for the challenge are certainly different."

"I'm in a group with Chifeng. His goal is to take my belongings, so he shouldn't be in a hurry to find the treasure."

"As for Wu Lulu... with her strength, she shouldn't be in any danger. Even if she does encounter a situation she can't handle, her second personality will definitely save her."

The ideal scenario would undoubtedly be to first find Wu Lulu, then pinpoint Chi Feng's location, and then launch a righteous three-on-one attack to kill him.

"This is a challenge level in the infinite world. I don't believe those behind-the-scenes big shots can still get involved. In other words, this is my last chance to kill Chi Feng."

Having confirmed his plan, Xu Zhou washed his face and decided to start by checking the nearby rooms one by one.

Meanwhile, on the second floor of the mansion, in another corridor...

"Cooperation? No interest."

Wu Lulu declined the invitation from the other side and continued to tilt her head back, gently sniffing the lingering scent in the air, trying to capture the aura she was searching for.

Standing before her was a sophisticated couple dressed in modern attire.

The boy was slender and handsome, with a faint halo above his head, indicating his Huanya lineage.

He raised his chin slightly, his eyebrows arched, and he stood tall and proud, casually twirling the ring on his finger, one hand in his pocket, a slightly surprised expression on his face.

The woman was a bull-human, with a pair of thick bull horns curving on either side of her head, and her tail lazily wrapped around the boy's legs.

The woman had a graceful figure, her black hair was styled in an updo, her red lips were bright and her eyes were alluring. She gently held the young man's arm, her body half-pressed against him, and a charming smile always played on her lips.

Seeing that Wu Lulu was trying to pass by, the two men stepped forward at the same time, blocking her way.

The boy reached out his hand and flashed a bright smile.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Haojia, and this is my aunt, Lanzhi."

"Wululu has no interest in getting to know you, and she won't tell you her name."

Wu Lulu frowned, and her right hand quietly reached behind her, grasping a spear in a half-hearted gesture, making no attempt to conceal her warning.

Hao Jia was stunned for a moment, and his gaze toward Wu Lulu became somewhat strange.

"We are both members of the alliance, so we should work together. Why be wary of each other? Besides, your arm injury has not yet healed. A beautiful girl like you wandering alone in the mansion could easily attract danger."

"Yes, little sister," Lan Zhi chimed in at the right moment, her voice as gentle as a spring breeze. "We can work together. If you have any goals, we can help you too."

Wu Lulu was almost persuaded.

However, due to the perceptual misalignment caused by the method, she found it difficult to trust anyone other than her sister and Xu Zhou.

Moreover, she clearly remembered that after she confessed everything to Xu Zhou, he was still quite wary of her. On the other hand, these two people in front of her wanted to team up without revealing any details, which was obviously suspicious.

Moreover, she was currently preoccupied with Xu Zhou and couldn't care less about anything else.

So Wu Lulu shook her ears, her tone unambiguous.

"No way. It's too stupid to recruit people without even knowing my background. I don't want to team up with idiots."

"fool……"

Hao Jia's eyes twitched at those words. If Lan Zhi hadn't secretly pinched him, he probably would have used his relics on the spot.

"Alright, then I wish you all the best, and I hope we'll have the opportunity to collaborate."

The two made way for Wu Lulu, who wagged her tail as she walked into the depths of the corridor. Hao Jia's originally kind expression instantly turned cold.

Only after the girl's figure had completely disappeared into the shadows did he let out a disdainful snort.

"This is one of my destined women? Why does she seem a little dim-witted?"

"Xiao Hao, you can't force a woman destined for you. She's different from ordinary women. It's best not to use her relics unless absolutely necessary. It's better to proceed slowly. But don't be too impatient. Your aunt will help you."

Lanzhi gently squeezed Haojia's arm, blinked, and her eyes revealed a myriad of charms.

Hao Jia felt a surge of warmth in his heart and couldn't help but pinch Lan Zhi's plump breasts. He felt that they were so smooth that he felt like he could squeeze water out of them, and his mood immediately improved.

"My aunt is still the best to me!"

Lanzhi didn't reply. Her face turned red, her legs went weak, and she fell into Haojia's arms as if she had no bones.

Holding the soft warmth in his arms, Hao Jia raised his eyes, his gaze filled with malice.

"Since she is the chosen one, she will surely be of benefit to me. With my outstanding personal charm, how could I not subdue a mere wolf-like creature? Just you wait and see!"
