Bai Yuan looked at Xia Die and knew that she wanted to remake the meal from a few days ago.

He nodded heavily, then looked at Xia Die with anticipation.

"Sister Xia Die, then I'll be waiting for your cooking."

Xia Die laughed happily.

This time, without Sai Fei'er's interference, Xia Die could finish cooking the meal in peace. After finishing, she brought the food back and placed it on the table.

"Come, let's eat."

"Okay." Bai Yuan sat down at the table, ready to start eating. But just as he was about to take a bite, he noticed Xia Die looking at him, as if she wanted to say something.

"What's wrong, Sister Xia Die?"

"Um, I remember you said you would grant me one request."

Xia Die stammered.

"Hmm, Sister Xia Die, what are you planning to do?" Bai Yuan nodded.

Hearing him admit it, Xia Die showed a happy expression. Then she leaned over and pinched Bai Yuan's cheek.

Hmm, it feels really nice, and Baek Yuan's expression when his cheeks are being pinched is just too cute.

After pinching him, Xia Die withdrew her arm with satisfaction. But seeing Bai Yuan looking at her with a shocked expression, Xia Die quickly looked away.

"Eat quickly, or the food will get cold."

Xia Jiu Leng + Lu ^ IVliu VIIVIII Er gr (eight) Die quickly said.

But, Sister Xiadie, you made a cold salad, so how did it get cold?

Bai Yuan mentally complained.

However, she didn't say it out loud, and just happily started eating.

Xia Die's gaze was initially elsewhere, but when she saw Bai Yuan start eating, she turned her attention back to him, resting her chin on her hands and admiring the way he ate.

After Bai Yuan finished eating, he wanted to clean up, but as soon as he put his hand on the plate, Xia Die snatched it away first.

"Bai Yuan, go and rest."

She quickly said to Bai Yuan.

"Ok."

Seeing that Xia Die didn't want him to lift a finger, Bai Yuan had no choice but to retract his outstretched arm and lie down on the bed to rest.

Xia Die quickly washed the dishes and returned to find Bai Yuan already fast asleep in bed. She smiled contentedly.

After yawning, Xia Die lay down on her bed and began to rest.

Chapter 46 Aglaia's Thoughts [First Update]

While Bai Yuan and Xia Die were resting, Katniss's actions began.

She first went to the Demigod Council of Dawn Cloud Cliff and summoned the elders of the Senate.

Most of the elders were unaware of Katniss's intentions and looked at her with puzzled expressions, wondering what she was trying to say.

"Everyone, I called you here to tell you something. Something very important..." As she said this, her tone became low and heavy.

"We in Ohmah suffered a crushing defeat, a humiliating defeat. And all of this was due to the incompetent leadership of Agrea of ​​the Golden Blood."

A crushing defeat!? This news struck the elders like a heavy blow. For a city in the midst of the apocalypse, any crushing defeat would place it on the brink of danger.

“A few days ago, Aglaia sent three members of the Golden Clan, Tian, ​​Xiaodie, and Wandi, to Suspended Peak City. They even joined forces with the demigod Saifeier, the treacherous Titan, to try to reclaim the fire of Nicardoli.” Kaines did not mention that their trip to Suspended Peak City was to rescue Bai Yuan, and even directly included Saifeier on Aglaia’s side.

"...And the final result is that the flame of Nicardi will be lost. We have no idea where that monster will appear, which means that the outcome of the journey to pursue the flame will be very uncertain and will be delayed for a long time."

“Look at this, we in Ohm have entrusted the power of the city to her, and all the people of Ohm have devoted all their strength to the journey of these Golden Children to pursue fire. And this is the answer they give us.”

Katniss spoke with a strong voice, as if she truly cared about the people of Ohm.

Although we have given a lot to the Golden Blood, the Golden Blood of Ohema have also done a lot for us!

Some of the senators thought to themselves, but seeing the indignant expressions on the faces of the others beside them, they shut their mouths and dared not say anything more.

An elder shouted to Katniss, "But Katniss, without the Golden Blood, how are we supposed to face the Titans?"

"It's simple, we just need to obtain the power of the Titans." Katniss proudly puffed out her chest and said to everyone, "If we obtain the power of the Titans, we can protect ourselves completely. Although this was a crushing defeat, it wasn't without its gains."

“A young man has appeared, a young man who does not belong to the Golden Blood, but has gained the power of Nicardi. His appearance means that the Titans and the journey of fire are no longer the exclusive privilege of the Golden Blood.”

Katniss told the senators in the Senate about the white body absorbing Nicardi's energy.

"Can someone who isn't a Golden Descendant really obtain the Titan's energy?" an elder murmured to himself, his eyes filled with anticipation.

“Yes, it’s not impossible at the moment. Each of us can obtain the power of the Titans. Is the collective power of us elders inferior to that of the Golden Blood?” After saying this, Katniss’s tone changed again.

"Moreover, Bai Yuan possesses more than just the power of the Titans of Strife. Some of you have heard that the boy named Bai Yuan can make physical contact with Xia Die. His body can also resist the summons of Cenatos. If we knew the secret of his body, we elders, and even the citizens of Ohmar, could gain this ability."

Even the elders who had hesitated before couldn't help but swallow hard.

Power and immortality—these two temptations were placed before the elders. Even those elders who supported the Journey of Fire were somewhat wavering.

Katniss made a voting gesture.

"Now, elders, make your choice. Should we summon Aglaia for questioning, or even impeach and invite Bai Yuan for inquiry?"

Although it was called an inquiry, it was no different from an interrogation.

Hearing her question, most of the elders hesitated. However, those die-hards who followed Katniss supported her suggestion without a second thought.

However, under the half-hearted pressure and urging of the die-hards, most of the elders still chose to support summoning Bai Yuan, Aglaia, and others for questioning.

……

In the Hero's Bath, Aglaia was still soaking in the very hot water.

She gracefully glided into the water, revealing only her shoulders and delicate collarbone. Her golden hair was also dampened by the steam from the pool, with a few strands clinging wetly to Aglaia's slender neck.

In the pool, Aglaia wore a thoughtful expression.

Tibo sat by the pool and asked her, "Aya, you said it won't be long before the Senate questions us out? Actually, we already knew there was a traitor in Little White's team. Why didn't we deal with him instead of letting him pass the information to Katniss and the others?"

“To demonstrate our honesty and prevent the seeds of doubt from being sown, my teacher, I do not intend to show this operation to the Senate, but to all the people of Ohma. This operation was a very serious failure, a failure that can only be concealed for a time, not indefinitely. If we do not provide an explanation, the versions circulating among the people will become all sorts of bizarre.” Aglaia said slowly to Tibo.

“Our journey to pursue the fire requires not only the efforts of the Golden Clan, but also the support of all the people of Ohm. If we encounter such a situation and do not let the people know about it, but instead try to cover it up, they will naturally become suspicious of our actions and doubt whether their support for the journey to pursue the fire is truly valuable to them.”

“From a rational point of view, such skepticism is very dangerous. So, even if it takes more effort to get the public to accept our actions, I don’t want to leave them with doubts.”

"Letting them know everything is the best option."

As she spoke, she slowly stood up from the pool. Her clothes, soaked by the water, clung to her body. Aglaia picked up a dry towel from the poolside and dried herself. She went to the changing room, changed into a clean and tidy set of clothes, and put on gold high-heeled sandals.

“Master, I’m going to Dawn Cloud Cliff right now. Could you please go to Bai Yuan and Die’s place for me? The Senate will definitely call Bai Yuan over again. Given Die’s current mental state, please don’t let her cause any major trouble.”

"okay, I get it."

Tibo nodded and then walked outside.

However, after taking a few steps, Tibo sensed that there was something wrong with what Aglaia had said.

Don't cause a major incident? Does that mean you can cause a minor incident?

Chapter 47 Bai Yuan: You really think I have no temper?! [Second Update]

Bai Yuan and Xia Die were woken up by the knocking on the door.

"Huh? Who would come here?" Bai Yuan muttered to himself in confusion after waking up.

Only a handful of people in this area know about this. Jason is out doing business, and Bai'e is probably still in critical condition. Wan Di won't come easily, so who could it be?

The two of them were puzzled.

"Bai Yuan, I'll open the door." Xia Die was the first to walk to the door and open it.

She was a little worried that Sai Fei'er was going to cause trouble again, so she decided to go to the door and surprise the person who came.

When the door opened, it wasn't Sai Fei'er who appeared, but two elders from the Senate. One had a polite smile on his face, while the other crossed his arms and looked impatient. But upon seeing Xia Die, they both broke out in a cold sweat and quickly took two steps back.

Aside from Bai Yuan, anyone who gets even a little bit of Xiao Die's touch is doomed.

"What are you doing here?" Xia Die saw the two people and recognized them as elders of the Senate. She frowned and asked them.

“Ms. Xia Die, we are here on orders from the Senate to inquire about some matters concerning Mr. Bai Yuan,” the polite senator said courteously to Xia Die. Beside them, the impatient senator shouted, “Don’t ask unnecessary questions. Just listen to the Senate’s decision.”

A crowd of passersby gathered around, and seeing the elder's arrogant demeanor, they all frowned. Several hot-tempered individuals clenched their fists, wanting to teach him a lesson.

Xia Die tilted her head and looked at him, her eyes narrowing.

“I remember that you have always been by Lady Katniss’s side,” she said softly.

Hearing her reveal that he was working for Katniss, he became somewhat embarrassed and angry, but still shouted defiantly, "So what? We're all doing this for Ohmma. If you disobey our orders, you're going against all the citizens of Ohmma..."

The elder was speaking when Xia Die suddenly sensed movement behind her. She smiled inwardly and stepped aside to make way. As soon as she did, a massive greatsword flew out and smashed straight into his face, knocking him to the ground.

Bai Yuan stepped out and looked at the elder lying on the ground, his head bleeding from being smashed by the Heavenly Punishment Blade. He was satisfied, then took the Heavenly Punishment Blade in his hand and stepped on the elder's chest.

"You keep talking about citizens and Ohmma, who do you think you are to represent all the citizens? Did the citizens appoint you as an elder so you could treat them with such hostility? Or am I a sinner? If not, why are you shouting like this?"

He's just good-tempered, not without one. And he utterly despises those who use the public's name to satisfy their own selfish desires. These kinds of people are the most disgusting; Bai Yuan didn't even bother arguing, he simply threw out the Heavenly Punishment Blade.

The elder lying down had all his teeth broken by Bai Yuan, and when he opened his mouth, it was full of blood and he couldn't say anything.

Bai Yuan looked around and noticed that everyone around him was giving him friendly smiles. Even the few people who had been so impatient earlier were giving him approving gestures.

"This kid Bai Yuan looked like a cute little dumpling, but I never expected him to be a real warrior at heart."

"Go ahead and beat him without worry. We've been wanting to get rid of this elder for a long time."

An auntie who runs a fruit stand came over, tidied Bai Yuan's hair, and wiped his face with a handkerchief. She then rolled her eyes at the senator from the Senate.

"What a bad guy, all he does is cause trouble, he even made Shiro Gen angry."

"Auntie, Auntie, don't worry, I'm fine." Seeing everyone's support, Bai Yuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but she was very touched.

Over the past few months, everyone has felt sorry for him because he is an orphan and has taken good care of him. Now, at this critical juncture, they have chosen to stand up for him.

They are such a good group of people.

Tibo ran over at this moment, initially worried that something might happen to Bai Yuan, but seeing the scene, she slowed down and a happy smile appeared on her face.

"Hmm, it seems that Xiao Yuan handles her relationships with the people around her very well. If there is a chance in the future, Aya should also experience this kind of life. She has been a demigod for too long, and now she feels out of touch with the lives of ordinary people."

Tibo muttered to herself, then leaned closer.

Meanwhile, the remaining elder watched silently from the side, opening his mouth but hesitating, seemingly worried that Bai Yuan might also strike him.

“He’s not one of Katniss’s people,” Xia Die reminded Bai Yuan.

"Yes, I understand." Bai Yuan nodded, then asked the elder, "May I ask what business the Senate has with me?"

Hearing that Bai Yuan did not raise his greatsword, the elder breathed a sigh of relief. He then said to Bai Yuan, "Citizen Bai Yuan, the Senate has some questions regarding the events in Suspended Peak City. A general assembly of citizens will be held later, and we would like you to go and answer them now."

"Okay, I will cooperate with the Senate."

Bai Yuan nodded.

"Bai Yuan? What happened? Why do you need to go to the Senate?" someone in the crowd asked.

“It’s like this, I was in a hurry to come back and didn’t tell everyone.” Bai Yuan picked up the Blade of Heavenly Punishment. “This weapon is the sword of Nicardoli, the Titan of Strife. When I was in Suspended Peak City, I unexpectedly gained Nicardoli’s energy within my body. The Senate summoned me over for this matter.”

"Aunties, sisters, and uncles, don't worry about me. I'll go over there and explain things clearly, then I'll come back."

Upon hearing that Nicardi's power had appeared within Bai Yuan's body, everyone was taken aback. But seeing that he could freely touch the Xia Die, obtaining Nicardi's energy wasn't such a big deal after all.

In fact, some people asked Bai Yuan with concern, "Bai Yuan, is there anything wrong with your health?"

“Don’t worry, the physician Feng Jin from the Dim Light Garden has examined me, and I’m fine,” Bai Yuan quickly replied. Then, looking at the tall craftsman Hattonus in the crowd, he quickly said, “Mr. Hattonus, could you forge me a scabbard? I want to carry it on my back.”

“Okay,” Hatonus agreed.

"Well then, everyone, I'll be right back after I go to the Senate." Bai Yuan was about to set off for the Senate with the polite elder.

Xia Die silently followed Bai Yuan.

"Well, the Senate didn't say that Miss Xia Die... It's alright, it's alright." The elder was about to say that he only called Bai Yuan, but seeing Xia Die's eyes, he wisely shut his mouth.

Bai Yuan and his two companions made their way through the crowd.

Tibo is waiting for them here.

Upon seeing Bai Yuan, Tibo gave a thumbs up.

"Little Yuan, well done!"
