I'm not just human!

Xia Fa laughed:

"Sure, how much is one?"

The fog-man vendor spread his five fingers, his palm resembling condensed fog:

"Five silver coins per flower, discounts available for bulk purchases."

Xiafa pulled out a ten-pound gold pound note:

"Give me twenty flowers."

The vendor from the foggy stall became even more enthusiastic:

"The guest is so generous, giving an extra flower for ten gold pounds. What flavor would you like? We have rose, grape, lime, and more than thirty other flavors."

Xia Fa laughed:

"One of each flavor, please."

The stall owner readily agreed, took out a bouquet, inserted twenty-one different flavored mist ice flowers into it, and handed it to Xia Fa with both hands.

"Sir, I wish you and your girlfriend a wonderful fog carnival!"

Xia Fa smiled, accepted the gift, nodded, and thanked him.

He had just turned around when he saw the doll-like girl staring intently at the misty ice flower in his hand, her mouth practically watering.

Xia Fa chuckled slightly:

"Besides dried anchovies, you also like to eat this?"

Beneath chuckled foolishly:

"My sisters say it's delicious, but I've never tried it before... Can I try some?"

Xia Fa handed the bouquet directly to her:

"It's all yours, eat up."

Benedict's golden-red eyes swept across the bouquet, first selecting a pale blue misty ice flower, which she handed to Xia Fa:

"Here you go, my sisters say the lime-flavored shaved ice flower is the best!"

Xia Fa was slightly taken aback, but then accepted it without refusing.

He put the misty ice flower, which looked like it was formed from condensed mist, into his mouth and gently sipped it.

The cool, refreshing mist burst open in my mouth, carrying a sweet and sour taste that covered every cell on my tongue.

This feeling is like enjoying a large glass of lime juice on a hot summer day, and you're experiencing the most refreshing moment while you're drinking it.

Xia Fa immediately became addicted, turned to look at the fog-man stall owner, and pulled out another thirty-pound gold pound note:

"Sixty more, please!"

There's no way around it; with assets totaling at least 50,000 gold pounds in his purse, he can spend money extravagantly.

The stall owner, who was shrouded in mist, was startled. Then a smile bloomed on his face, and beneath his skin, which resembled mist, the blood in his grayish-white veins flowed even faster. He nodded repeatedly.

"Alright, alright, sir, please wait a moment. Thirty gold pounds will give you sixty-five flowers!"

Soon, the fog-man stall owner filled two large bouquets and handed them to Xia Fa.

Xia Fa immediately gave a bunch to Benedict, and the two of them each had a bunch of misty ice flowers, with more than thirty flavors. They ate as they walked, and it was incredibly enjoyable.

As Xia Fa walked, he looked at the various stalls selling mist people. Some sold all kinds of snacks, while others sold special products of the mist people, such as mist miniskirts that were faintly visible and mist longswords that were almost transparent.

It is said that such longswords are made of an extraordinary metal called "mist iron," which is quite useful for both ordinary people and extraordinary individuals.

Of course, there are also vendors selling all sorts of extraordinary materials, as well as animals that only exist in the "Mist Realm" and supernatural creatures mutated from those animals.

These animals and supernatural creatures undoubtedly evolved in the misty realm over countless years.

The Misty Realm is the sealing artifact created by the [Nature Monarch] using the body of the Outer God [Silent Mist of the Earth]. It is the size of a normal-sized life-bearing planet spread out on its own.

The reason why the Mist Realm only covered three small cities, including Rum City, after it descended this time is because it only meant that the entrance to the Mist Realm partially overlapped with the three small cities.

The most grand and spectacular event of the Fog Carnival requires humans and other races of demi-humans to enter the Fog Realm in order to truly participate.

Shafa and Bennett strolled along, buying a lot of snacks. Shafa also bought Bennett an almost transparent misty dress, which Bennett said she wanted to give to a doll girl she was very close to.

However, I didn't see any secret contracts, treasures, or sealed items for sale along the way.

Finally, the two reached the end of Daniel Street and arrived at the square outside St. Vivian Church.

The wide circular plaza was now filled with stalls, and finally, there were stalls selling secret treasures and sealed artifacts.

Clearly, the extraordinary individuals among the Fog People had tacitly chosen the plaza in front of the church as the location for trading these extraordinary items, in order to prevent ordinary people from accidentally entering.

Of course, even if an ordinary person accidentally gets in, unless they are a nobleman, they most likely still can't afford it.

Xia Fa was about to wander around and see if he could find any good treasures when he suddenly spotted Terrean at the church entrance.

As a demigod, Tyrean naturally possessed extremely keen spiritual intuition. The moment Xiafa looked at him, Tyrean immediately noticed Xiafa and turned his gaze over.

The next moment, Tyrene waved to him, signaling him to come over.

Remembering what Tyrene had said earlier, Shafa led Benedict through the church.

Tyrene's expression was serious, and his voice was indifferent:

"Shafa, I thought you overslept... huh?"

He was halfway through his sentence when he noticed Beneath, who was timidly following behind Shafa. The demigod's usually serious face finally showed obvious surprise:

"This is... a doll girl?"

Xia Fa nodded:

"Yes, Your Honor."

Tyrene sighed, quite moved:

"You kid, you have the best luck I've ever seen among the superhumans who have just joined the church. You know, in our entire Augu Kingdom, besides you, only Princess Victoria of the royal family has a doll girl."

Xia Fa laughed:

"Is that so?"

Tyrene did not continue the topic, saying:

"How have you been resting these past two days? The Fog Carnival will officially begin at 10 a.m. This time, not only the Augustus family of Axo, but also many members of the Selene royal family have come, as well as the Duke of Oberon and other great nobles you've heard of."

Xia Fa asked curiously:

"So, what do you need me to do?"

Tyrene waved his hand and said:

"I don't know either. The events for each Fog Carnival are different. The only thing that's clear is that this time, you'll be representing our human bacteria-level superhumans in the competition."

At this moment, Chestnut, Fensne, and others also came out of the church.

Although they had already seen the doll girl from Xiafa, they couldn't help but take a few more glances at her.

Beneath, however, was no longer afraid. She looked obediently at Chestnut and smiled innocently:

"Good morning, Sister Chestnut!"

Chestnut, quite fond of this doll-like girl with her exquisitely beautiful features, replied with a smile:

"Good morning!"

When Tyrean saw that his granddaughter actually knew the doll girl from Shafa and that they seemed to have a good relationship, he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, as if he realized something.

Xia Fa scratched his cheek, thought for a moment, and then hesitated before speaking:

“Your Excellency, I… I am no longer a fungal-level superhuman.”

"Ok?"

Terrence was slightly startled and looked at him with some surprise:

"You've already signed the second secret agreement? But only three days have passed since you signed the first one."

Xia Fa nodded, and by concealing part of the truth, revealed the facts:

"After my adventure in the cave last time, I found that I had made progress in understanding the first secret contract by about half. I guessed that this might be because of my ability to use secret contracts. So, I practiced more these past two days and completely understood the first secret contract. Then, through the clues given by the Star Spirit Compass, I obtained the second secret contract and signed it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Tyrean nodded as if he had breathed a sigh of relief:

"It would be good if you signed the second secret contract after you had fully understood the first one. This way, it is less likely to get out of control. It's normal. After all, you are an extraordinary descendant of the Baal Beast and have awakened the talent of Elemental Expansion. It is true that you understand the elemental secret contract of the Aether Source much faster than ordinary people."

Chestnut, Fensne, and the others looked somewhat incredulous.

You understood a high-level secret treatise in just three days?

Even if, as Lord Tyrean said, Shafa has many superior conditions and advantages, this is still too shocking!

"Heh, three days is indeed fast. As expected of someone who inherited the noble bloodline of my Augustus family. The only person I've ever heard of who was faster than you was Patriarch Osius back then."

Suddenly, a noble voice rang out, and everyone turned to see that it was the demigod Axo.

He was with his nephew Glenn, and a thin, middle-aged man beside him.

The middle-aged man had an arrogant expression on his face, a pride and arrogance that seemed to come from the bone marrow of his family background. He wore an extremely well-fitting black tailcoat and had crystal-clear glasses with chains perched on his nose.

His blond hair was combed so meticulously that even his cheeks were thin, which only added to his air of refined elegance.

It was another elder of the Augustus family, Cardan de Augustus.

When Tyrene saw Cardan, he looked somewhat weary, as if he didn't particularly enjoy dealing with this demigod.

Cardan walked straight over, first nodding to Terren as a greeting, then looking at Shafa with scrutinizing eyes:

"You finished understanding the first advanced secret contract in just three days and signed the second one... Although you have black hair and black eyes, you do have a little bit of the qualifications to reach the threshold of our Augustus family, but you are still far from it."

Xia Fa was a little confused. Who was this guy? Why was he even more arrogant than Axo back then?

From his blond hair and golden eyes, Xia Fa could only guess that he must also be a member of the Augustus family.

At this moment, Axel walked to the center of the group and introduced himself with a cheerful smile:

“Shafa, this is another elder of our Augustus family, Cardan. He is much stronger than me and is not far from becoming an angel. Cardan, this is Shafa.”

Cardan nodded slightly, his expression cold and arrogant, then looked at Tyrene:

"Now that Xia Fa has become an Insect-level transcendent, do you still want to recommend him to participate in the Fog Carnival? You should know that once you reach the Insect-level, Xia Fa's advantages will be greatly reduced."
