Xing Tie: Wait a minute! How come Weng Xing has two saviors?

"Ding-dong... ding-dong..."

One, two, three... Bai Mo kept "scavenging" the oddly shaped cat coins from his seemingly thin clothes and putting them into his other open palm.

"My secret stash of money! My little darlings!" Sai Fei'er's heart bled as she watched her treasured "family fortune" being searched out piece by piece, her voice trembling with tears.

"Robber! This is blatant robbery! Even worse than mine! Waaah—!"

Bai Mo ignored her completely. He weighed the small handful of warm cat-shaped coins in his hand until he was sure that she could not find any more coins on her.

Bai Mo had only taken a step back when the coin that had been lying there all night finally landed on the ground.

Chapter 44 Sai Feier: A casual kick exposed a weak point and broke through.

Just as it hit the ground—

"Mine—!!!" A desperate glint flashed in Sai Fei'er's eyes as she moved with incredible speed, her target the falling coin! This was her last chance!

However, just as her fingertips were about to touch the cold surface of the coin—

Another beam of light from the Hundred Realms Gate flashed by! The coin, once again, vanished from her sight!

Sai Feier missed her target and fell to the ground in a sorry state, raising a small cloud of dust.

She looked up and saw that the last cat coin was lying steadily in Bai Mo's outstretched palm, together with his other "brothers and sisters".

“Aa ...

Saifeier completely broke down. She fell backward onto the cold ground without any regard for her image, flailing her arms and legs wildly and letting out desperate and angry screams, just like a Pado throwing a tantrum after her dried fish was stolen.

"Ugh—! I'm exhausted! Damn it! I stood there all night! Like an idiot! I could talk and make expressions, but my legs felt like they were welded to the ground! Do you know how numb my legs were?!"

Meow! These young people nowadays...don't know how to respect the elderly and care for the young at all! They're bullying an old woman like me who's lived for thousands of years! Waaah..." She cried and pretended to cry, trying to gain sympathy by using her "age" and "hardships".

Bai Mo stood quietly a few meters away, looking down at her as she cried, screamed, and threw a tantrum on the ground.

When Sai Fei'er's "crying" gradually subsided, she just stared at him resentfully with her big, watery eyes.

Bai Mo spoke, his voice clearly piercing the cool morning air: "Your Excellency Sai Fei'er, may I ask if you may return my Li Heng coins now?"

"No! No! I don't want to!" Upon hearing the words "return the money," Sai Fei'er immediately sat up as if her tail had been stepped on, shaking her head like a rattle drum.

"Those sparkly little cuties are mine! They're mine, the ones I worked so hard to make... uh, they're...! I don't care! I don't care!"

"Once it's in my pocket, it's mine! You want me to give it back? No way! Absolutely not! Kill me if you want! Even if you kill me, I won't give it to you! Meow!"

She refused resolutely, even sticking her neck out, displaying a firm stance of "I have no money, but you can take my life."

Bai Mo looked at Sai Feier, who was kicking her legs on the ground, crying and making a scene without any regard for her image, and felt his temples throbbing.

The constant light of the Dawn Machine enveloped Ohma, silently reminding him that the frizzy cat before him was ultimately a cunning demigod burdened with the responsibility of the world.

This realization made it impossible for Bai Mo to be angry with her.

"Alright, alright, Saifeier," Bai Mo rubbed his temples heavily, his voice carrying a hint of coaxing.

"Get up. A demigod, throwing a tantrum at the gates of Ohma... Do you want to be discovered by Aglaia?"

Sai Fei'er keenly sensed the softening in Bai Mo's tone, and she immediately seized the opportunity.

"Then...then give me back the cat coin!" She stretched out her hand, palm up, as if to say, "If you don't give it back, I'll keep making a scene."

"No." Bai Mo shook his head decisively, crossed his arms, and looked at her.

"What if I just let you go, and you turn around and run off with the coins, then come back to steal my Liheng coins?"

"I can't possibly squat on the roof beam with you every day, can I?" Bai Mo had an expression that said, "I don't trust you."

"I swear!" Sai Fei'er immediately raised three fingers, trying her best to look as obedient and sincere as possible, even her ears perked up.

“I swear to Zagres! After I get the coin, I will absolutely, positively never touch a single penny of your little stash again!” She even blinked her big eyes twice, trying to increase credibility.

Bai Mo was so angry he laughed, and bluntly exposed her: "Ha! You swear to the Trick Titan you won't use tricks? Sai Fei'er, do you think I'm stupid, or do you think Zagres will be on my side?"

Sai Fei'er was taken aback, puffed out her cheeks, and muttered softly, "...So what do you want!"

Bai Mo stared at her, speaking each word with unusual seriousness: "I want you to swear an oath to Aglaia."

"Huh?!" Sai Fei'er's voice instantly rose, "You...you swear to the seamstress? Are you serious?!"

Her face was filled with resistance. Clearly, in Saifei's heart, Aglaia held a far greater weight and status than her Titan, who symbolized treachery.

“Yes, it’s her.” Bai Mo stood his ground. “Only by using her name can I be somewhat convinced that you, this cunning little cat, won’t turn around and renege on your promise.”

Sai Fei'er was extremely conflicted, her beautiful brows furrowed in a knot. She looked at Bai Mo's determined eyes, then thought about her predicament and those crucial coins.

Finally, like a deflated balloon, her shoulders slumped. She reluctantly and haltingly raised her hand, her voice muffled and rapid:

"Okay...okay, okay! This is so annoying! I, Saifeier, swear to...to Aglaia..."

She managed to squeeze out the name with difficulty. "As long as you, Bai Mo, return all the cat coins to me... I... I won't steal your Liheng coins anymore... okay? Humph!"

After making the vow, she immediately turned her head to the side, as if it would be a waste to look at Bai Mo even once more.

"That's more like it." Bai Mo revealed a satisfied smile.

On a whim, he handed the handful of coins in his hand to Sai Fei'er.

Feeling that familiar, warm touch, Saifeier immediately gripped it tightly.

She let out a long sigh of relief, and her cat ears twitched happily.

Looking at her like this, Bai Mo felt even more helpless, but at the same time he also found it a little funny.

However, his smile froze completely the next second. Because he was kicked away by a foot imbued with demigod power!

(Bai Mo: Oh no! I was careless! I didn't flash!)

Ouch—! Where did this guy kick me? My back!

(Sai Fei: Exploit the weakness!)

Bai Mo felt an overwhelming yet exquisitely controlled force slam into his side waist!

He didn't even have time to make any defensive stance before he was sent flying through the air, spinning around!

Sai Fei'er shook the leg that had just kicked someone, as if brushing off dust that didn't even exist.

The pitiful expression on her face vanished without a trace, replaced by an extremely pleased and sly smile.

"Hehe~" She let out a series of light, triumphant laughs, slowly strolling over to Bai Mo, looking down at him.

"Little one, have you misunderstood something? I just said I wouldn't steal your little gold coins anymore~" She deliberately drew out the words "won't steal," raising the tone at the end, "But I never said... I wouldn't hit you, did I?"

Chapter 45 Bai Mo: For our Liheng Coins, even if it means fighting the Demigod of Tricks all night…

She bent down, reached out her finger, and gently poked his forehead, her tone earnest and earnest:

"Hmph, this kick is to teach you a lesson. Don't think you can get away with anything by using some clever tricks to trap me."

She narrowed her eyes, revealing a smile that seemed sweet but was actually dangerous. "If you dare to be so naive again, thinking you can 'reason' with a demigod... it won't be as simple as just flying five meters, you know? Meow~"

After saying that, Sai Fei'er learned her lesson this time. She secretly tossed a coin behind her back, and it turned into a streak of light and disappeared.

"Cough cough, you little brat! CNMD! (Full name—China National Missile Defense. Don't get the wrong idea!!!)" Bai Mo clutched his back and got up.

"That damn cat... it didn't kick hard at all, and it really knows how to pick its spots to kick..." He muttered through gritted teeth, rubbing his back as he began to vigorously brush the dust and grass off his body.

After Bai Mo returned to the small courtyard where he was staying

Xi Lian rubbed her eyes, yawning widely as she walked down the stairs: "Yawn... Little Bai Mo? Why didn't I see you in your room this morning?... Huh??"

Her steps stopped halfway down the stairs, her sleepiness vanishing instantly, replaced by astonishment and a hint of mischief.

Her eyes widened as she pointed at Bai Mo, who was walking in downstairs, clutching his lower back and grimacing: "You...you haven't been back all night? And you're walking in here clutching your back?!"

Bai Mo was taken aback by the sudden question: "Hiss—Sister Xi Lian? You, you listen to my explanation! It's not what you think!"

"Oh? Then tell me, which way?" Xi Lian quickly walked down the remaining steps.

"It's Sai Fei'er! That cunning demigod!" Bai Mo quickly clarified, "I spent the whole night dealing with her outside the city in order to get back the Li Heng coins she stole!"

"That guy was so difficult to deal with, he was so strong and kept coming back, and in the end he even tricked me by kicking me..." He rubbed his waist, his tone full of resentment and helplessness.

"A demigod of trickery? You fought with her all night?" Xi Lian looked him up and down suspiciously, as if assessing the truth of his words.

She walked to the dining table, cut a slice of bread and put it on her breakfast plate, saying with a hint of scrutiny, "Just for the money in your secret stash?"

"Of course!" Bai Mo immediately straightened his back, trying his best to appear righteous and stern.

"That's our hard-earned money! For the financial security of the Golden Hotel, I have no choice but to do it! What's a fight with a demigod? Even if the Titans come, they'll have to cough up the money!"

Seeing his "heroic sacrifice" look, Xi Lian couldn't help but chuckle and shook her head: "Alright, alright, I believe you. But..."

She abruptly changed the subject, a sly glint in her eyes, "Little Bai Mo, isn't Shu Ting's midterm exam coming up soon?"

"Yes, thankfully I've trained a few chefs these past few days, otherwise the Golden Grand Hotel might have had to shut down in a few days."

Bai Mo pulled out a chair and sat down, picking up a piece of bread. "Although the atmosphere at Tree Garden is free, failing the exams can be quite troublesome. Not having enough credits will affect your subsequent course selection... and so on."

He stopped biting into his bread and looked at Xi Lian in confusion. "Sister Xi Lian, how did you know Shu Ting's exam time?"

"Hmph~" Xi Lian shook her head smugly, "Of course it's because of Xiao Bai! He's been scratching his head so much these past few days that he's almost bald, constantly muttering things like 'It's over, it's over, there are only half a month left until the exam, I'm doomed this time, I definitely won't pass'."

Even Xia Die seemed preoccupied lately when we met, saying she was worried about her exams. "By the way, are the exams at your Tree Garden very difficult?" she asked, resting her chin on her hand.

"Difficult?" Bai Mo swallowed the bread, then couldn't help but laugh out loud as he thought of a certain scene. "It's not particularly difficult."

The main problem is... Bai E, during Teacher Xia's class, raised his hand more often than he answered questions.

"Isn't it a good thing to be proactive in raising your hand?" Xi Lian asked, puzzled.

"The problem is that he raised his hand to refute Teacher Xia's point of view at that moment!"

Bai Mo couldn't help but chuckle. "I had to debate with the teacher almost every class, but Teacher Xia was always in a bad mood... well, the result was that Bai E lost a lot of class participation credits. Now that I'm cramming at the last minute, of course it feels difficult."

Xi Lian imagined Bai E arguing vehemently in class, making the teacher so angry he was practically fuming, and couldn't help but laugh: "So that's how it is! He really is a handful!"

Bai Mo looked at Xi Lian's smiling eyes, his doubts deepening: "Sister Xi Lian, why did you suddenly ask about the exam... could it be that you're thinking of..."

"Bingo!" Xi Lian snapped her fingers, her eyes sparkling.

"Of course, I'll see if I can help my little Bai Mo!"

She raised her chin slightly, announcing with a touch of pride, "Actually, thanks to High Priest Vittorio's tireless guidance, I've officially been promoted to High Priest for some time now!"

She paused, her tone becoming even more animated: "Moreover, my mastery of the 'Time Reversal' spell has also made a qualitative leap!"

Now, I no longer need to rely on fragments of other people's memories, nor do I need particularly detailed written records. All I need is to have in-depth conversations with the parties involved or carefully study the relevant books and texts.

I can then precisely 'salvage' those lost, blurred fragments of the past from the long river of time and present them anew!

Xi Lian clasped her hands together, looking at Bai Mo with an expectant expression, as if seeking praise: "How was it? Little Bai Mo, isn't your sister Xi Lian amazing??"

"Amazing! Absolutely amazing!" Bai Mo exclaimed sincerely, his eyes filled with surprise. "A complete 'Time Replay'! This is a divine skill that only the most outstanding saintesses in history can master! Sister Xi Lian, your progress is astonishing!" He gave her a thumbs up without hesitation.

"Ah, hahaha~" Xi Lian blushed slightly at the compliment. "I'll just accept Xiao Bai Mo's praise without any qualms!"

However, she immediately waved her hand somewhat embarrassedly and looked to the side, "But, my current abilities are still only at the beginner level."

It can only reproduce dialogue snippets from a few key figures; it's still far from being able to instantly replicate entire grand war scenes or grand ceremonies like those legendary saintly predecessors..."

“Sister Xi Lian is already amazing!” Bai Mo said sincerely, but then a thought flashed through his mind, and he looked at Xi Lian’s face, which had an expression that said, “Quickly ask me what other good things I have.”

Her heart pounded. "Wait... Sister Xilian, you're telling me this? Does that mean... you have a way to help me?"

Chapter 46 Bai Mo: Bai E is a truly honest man.

"Hmph, clever!" Xi Lian laughed like a little fox who had just stolen some fish.

As if by magic, she pulled several crystal fragments—memory fragments—from the sleeve pocket of her priest's robe. These fragments emitted a soft purple glow.

"Look, Little Bai Mo!?" She pushed the few fragments of crystal in front of Bai Mo like a treasure, "This is a treasure that your sister Xi Lian specially went to the Tree Garden to 'in-depth investigate' and gather information indirectly. She spent a lot of effort to condense it!"

"What's recorded inside?" Bai Mo's voice was tinged with excitement.

"They are some of the most learned and virtuous men in the history of Shuting, and a few... well, rather 'strict' mentors,"

Xi Lian blinked and lowered her voice, "These are images of them before they died!?"

Bai Mo's eyes widened instantly as he snatched the few warm, purple fragments of crystal: "Sister Xi Lian! You...you're so good to me!"

"Take it, make good use of it." Xi Lian waved generously, then added, "But don't forget, when you use this knowledge, also lend a hand to your troublesome brother, and Xia Die, help her out if you can."
