"No way? A savior chef? That's so cruel! That's too much! I helped you appease the citizens and even helped bring together a couple!"
She glared at Bai Mo angrily, "And how exactly did you find out? I studied it for a long time, and even imitated Aglaia's somewhat awkward personality!"
Bai Mo chuckled softly, loosening his grip slightly but maintaining control as he began to list things out clearly and logically:
"Flaw one: If the person standing here right now is the real Aglaia, and she knows that Saifeier is most likely hiding in some corner of this Golden Grand Hotel, she would never be so 'honest' as to keep facing me while talking to me."
Given how much of a headache she's had with your recent misbehavior, her gaze will inevitably drift towards the hotel interior, trying to find you. And you, you're mimicking me far too 'focusedly'.
He paused, then extended his other hand and gently pointed to the collar of his combat uniform, which was originally impeccably tailored but now adorned with a small ornament:
"And the most important flaw is the second one: the real Lady Aglaia's extreme attention to the neatness of her clothes and the standard of her appearance, as well as her attention to someone, um...
There's absolutely no way she wouldn't have noticed and pointed it out after meeting me for so long—that I was wearing a metal brooch made to resemble a miniature version of Teacher Xia on my collar.
Saifei'er's gaze instantly focused on the small, cute brooch that clashed horribly with Bai Mo's style of clothing. Her cat ears drooped down, and she let out a mournful wail.
"No... Savior Chef? Who would even notice that little trinket you're wearing on your collar?! That's practically cheating!"
“Sefaria, I’ve finally found you.” A cool voice came from behind the two of them.
The real Ms. Aglaia was standing at the hotel entrance, clearly having come looking for her after hearing the sound.
She looked at the chaotic scene before her—Sai Fei'er with cat ears and a cat tail, Bai Mo grabbing the cat-eared girl, and... the extremely conspicuous brooch on Bai Mo's collar.
Her gaze, sharp as needles, first struck the "Q Version of That Moment Summer" brooch on Bai Mo's collar, the chill in her tone almost freezing the surrounding air:
"Bai Mo. First, I need an explanation. Who gave you permission to wear that... 'Earth Beast in Splendid Robes' brooch on the battle suit I personally tailored, which represents the image of the savior?"

The daily tasks you mentioned:
The sections are: Soul-Summoning Zone, Rebirth Zone, Upcoming Blockbuster Zone, Other Zones, and Zone for Underhanded Tactics Against Authors. (Five in one!)
Chapter 122 Xi Lian: Why do things always go in an absurd direction whenever Bai Mo is involved?
Her gaze then shifted to Saifeier, whose face wore a "we're doomed" expression, and her cat ears, which were still twitching innocently. She let out a heavy sigh.
"Secondly... Sefalia, last time I invited you to stay for dinner, you ran away halfway through. I think this time, we really need a serious meeting about your pranks and the responsibilities you should bear."
"No! Sister Ya Yi. I did all this for the stability of the Holy City!" Sai Fei'er cried, her face contorted with grief.
“But you should never have used someone else’s identity without their consent. You must apologize to Bai Mo and compensate him.” Aglaia’s tone was unusually firm.
Xi Lian and Xia Die exchanged a glance. Xi Lian sighed softly and whispered to Xia Die:
"Phew—it seems the process was a bit thrilling and bumpy, but the overall result was good, everyone is finally..."
Before she could finish her self-comforting words, a clear but distinctly angry male voice slammed into the space like a warhammer:
"Aglaia! You...you perverted woman!"
Then Xia—dressed in scholarly robes, his handsome face now filled with indignation—strode out from behind a huge stone pillar, his index finger pointing directly at Aglaia.
“I’ve heard all those rumors circulating in Ohmane! You actually…”
He was so angry his hair seemed to stand on end. "You woman, I will never allow this... Bai Mo is my student! How dare you lay a hand on him!"
Bai Mo, who was suddenly called out, looked bewildered: "Uh... Teacher Xia? What's this...?"
However, when Na Kexia's angry gaze swept over Bai Mo, it suddenly fixed on Bai Mo's collar—where a delicate, chibi-style Na Kexia was pinned.
The overwhelming rage froze instantly. At that moment, Xia's pupils trembled slightly, and a complex expression quickly appeared on her face, a mixture of shock, disbelief, and immense emotion.
"This...this is...you..."
"Good student! You really are my good student! You truly care about your teacher!"
His initial感动 (feeling of being moved) immediately transformed into an even stronger protective instinct. He abruptly turned and glared at Aglaia again: "Aglaia! Get away from Bai Mo right now! I'll guarantee his innocence for life!"
Aglaia frowned, bewildered by his series of absurd accusations: "Anaxagoras! What's wrong with you now? What do you mean?"
"What do I mean?" Xia laughed loudly. "You stole my Earth Beast merchandise, saying it was a case of the highest bidder wins. I'm not going to argue with you!"
You won't let me retrieve the spark of "rationality," you won't allow me to study Cephalus's divine body, and you say that the battlefront is under pressure and that a Titan who is biased towards humanity should not fall at this moment. What you say makes sense, and I accept it!
"But you! How dare you lay your hands on my student? Try to seduce him?! How old are you?! How old is he?! I absolutely cannot tolerate this!"
"Which eye of yours saw me flirting with your student?" Aglaia was completely dumbfounded, but looking at Xia's face, the drawbacks of her reverting to her human nature became apparent, and anger was burning away the threads of romance.
"You still want to deny it!" Xia Meng tapped his communication stone tablet. "Xia Die has sent me the evidence! See for yourself!"
On the stone slab, there were densely packed records of various events, psychological analyses of characters, relationship charts, and even highlighted lines and annotations in different colors. Its rigor was comparable to that of an academic paper!
Xia Die, who was standing to the side, turned deathly pale in an instant.
She remembered! Before, in developing this story titled "The Holy City Guardian Won't Fall in Love with the Elder of Ohma," she had indeed meticulously compiled these observation notes and a wildly imaginative outline…
She...she seems to have accidentally sent this document, which was meant to be sent to the fujoshi (female fanfiction) community for fellow enthusiasts to enjoy, to Teacher Nakatsuka instead!
While Xi Lian was still completely bewildered by this sudden, information-overloaded unfolding—
At that moment, Xia roared and swung his elbow at Aglaia!
Aglaia, being a romantic demigod, was no pushover. She instinctively used her forearm to block, and the two instantly locked elbow to elbow, putting their strength to each other!
Things got completely out of control from there, and there was no way to stop them!
When Saifei saw that Aglaia was actually fighting with someone, her cat ears perked up, and without thinking, she meowed and pounced!
As soon as Bai Mo saw Sai Feier make a move, he instinctively reached out to grab the back of Sai Feier's collar.
When Xia saw Bai Mo suddenly approaching the "battle", she thought the student was coming to help her. In a panic, she instinctively reached out with her free hand to pull Bai Mo's clothes and drag him behind her to a safe place!
When Aglaia saw that Xia's hand was reaching for the new clothes she had painstakingly sewn for Bai Mo all night, she immediately panicked.
She immediately freed one hand to slap away Na Shixia's hand!
Aglaia got anxious, and then Seifer got anxious.
Sai Fei'er got anxious, and Bai Mo got anxious too!
Bai Mo panicked, and Xia tried even harder to pull him over!
Xia panicked and made a big move, which made Aglaia even angrier, and the defense turned into a counterattack!
As soon as Aglaia counterattacked, Saifeier joined the fray. As soon as Saifeier joined the fray, Bai Mo followed. As soon as Bai Mo joined the battle, Xia began to use her magic skills!
Anyway, in a corner of Ohma.
Several influential figures were completely entangled in a brawl, their arms, legs, claws, and clothes intertwined, accompanied by a cacophony of sounds:
"Let go of my student!" "Don't touch the clothes I knitted!" "Meow!" "Teacher, calm down!" "Ms. Aglaia, please stop hitting me!"
The scene was filled with chaotic shouts, completely turning into a boiling pot of porridge.
Seeing this, Xia Die turned pale and felt that for her own safety, she had to return the "Death" Flame immediately.
Xi Lian then completely donned the mask of pain, covering her eyes with her hands—
"No? Why?! Why do such outrageous things always happen around Xiao Baimo?!"
Finally, after Bai Mo's best efforts to persuade him, the misunderstanding was cleared up.
However... the price was that the cunning Saifei escaped again.
However… she did leave a note in Bai Mo’s pocket, saying that she knew she was wrong, would take responsibility, and would be available whenever needed. This lasted for a full five (crossed out) cough coughs, three times.
As a result, Aglaia and Naksha parted on bad terms once again.
However, a few days after the incident ended, Xia approached Bai Mo again.
"Teacher Xia, why are you in such a hurry to see me? Is there something important?"
Chapter 123 Sai Fei'er: What in Onpharos is more valuable than the tailor's treasure trove?
Bai Mo stopped and looked at Ke Xia, who had blocked his way in a flurry of activity, his tone slightly questioning.
Naksha frowned and corrected him, "Bai Mo, how many times have I told you not to call me Naksha! Call me Anaxagoras!"
Then, without waiting for Bai Mo's response, he immediately cut to the chase:
"Moreover, I've come to you because of something of paramount importance! I'm preparing to take over the divine authority of 'Reason' and become the new demigod of 'Reason'."
But that rational Titan, who should have died long ago, presented me with an ancient and ultimate question as a trial: What exactly is a Titan?
At that moment, Xia's eyes gleamed with extreme excitement and a sense of challenge, and her voice unconsciously rose:
"This question is indeed extremely profound! But don't forget that I am Anaxagoras! The founder of the School of Sophists!"
He excitedly grabbed Bai Mo's arm. "Do you remember the question you asked me in class? Were the Golden Bloods also called Titans in the past?"
Based on this, I conducted months of research and logical deduction, and finally came up with a shocking reasoning that is enough to overturn all existing history..."
Bai Mo sighed as he watched his teacher's excited expression, almost to the point of dancing with joy. He silently apologized to Na Ke Xia in his heart: "Wait, wait, wait, Teacher Na Ke Xia… that shocking deduction you mentioned, it couldn't be…"
Are the Titans the Golden Blood of the past, and the current Golden Blood are actually the Titans of the future? Could the entire Onpharos be a giant cycle?
"Bai Mo, you!" Xia was momentarily stunned, but then her hand gripping Bai Mo's arm tightened suddenly.
His face instantly contorted with extreme shock and excitement. "Bai Mo, you knew all along?! When did you...?"
Bai Mo looked at him like this and sighed deeply in helplessness:
"Teacher, it seems you really don't know. Xia Die is the current Death Demigod, and she has a younger sister, Polycia—she is the Death Titan of this cycle, and also the Death Demigod of the previous cycle."
By sharing Polycia's sealed memories, we... have learned part of the truth about the cycle of reincarnation. The conclusion you deduced is probably part of that truth.
"..." Xia was speechless at that moment, her mouth slightly open, but she had no idea what to say.
He spent ages researching ancient texts, building models, and conducting all sorts of dangerous energy experiments, even preparing himself for gossip... but now someone is telling him that the answer is already there?
"..." Not only was Na Ke Xia completely stunned, but even Cesis (a remnant of the rational Titan's consciousness) who had been residing deep within Na Ke Xia's consciousness and remained silent was now completely dumbfounded.
No? What do you mean by "through the memories of the Death Titan"? We're all Titans, so why does the Death Titan know about reincarnation?
She even framed this issue as the final test of rational divine authority, making it seem so profound and mysterious! Now it seems that her actions have made her nothing more than a clown making a show of mystery.
Bai Mo looked at the ever-changing and fascinating expressions on Xia's face, sighed, and understood his breakdown at that moment.
"Judging from your current state, even if I told you, I doubt you would fully believe it for a while, or be unwilling to easily accept that the answer you have been searching for is presented in this way."
He changed the subject: "Well then, Professor Xia, isn't your main purpose in coming to see me today precisely to obtain permission from the Senate to study the divine body of the Titan of the Necropolis—Cephale—up close?"
Bai Mo's gaze turned serious: "As an elder of Ohm, I approve it."
If you don't believe the 'answer' we've learned from memory, then follow your own intuition, using the reason, logic, and empirical methods you trust most, to personally investigate and prove your own conjecture. Truth never fears testing.
When Xia heard that Bai Mo had finally approved his research permit, his eyes lit up instantly, as if he had been given a new lease on life.
But Bai Mo immediately added, his tone carrying an undeniable solemnity: "But... at that moment, Teacher Xia, there is one thing you must promise me."
"When you are ready to formally receive the flame of 'reason,' return it to the core of creation, and complete the ritual... I need to be there."
"Hey, Savior Chef, what do you want from me again? And why did you specifically choose a place like this..."
Saifei leaned lazily against a stone pillar at the edge of the vortex of creation, its tail tip lightly brushing the ground, its cat eyes flashing with curiosity and vigilance in the dim light. "This is not a good place to steal grilled fish."
“Of course I’m inviting you,” Bai Mo turned around, looking intently at her, “to pull off a big heist.”
"Handling up a big one?" Sai Fei'er immediately stood up straight, her amber pupils contracting slightly in surprise, followed by a look of suspicion.
"You're an elder of the Holy City, one of the saviors of Ohma... This 'big job' you're talking about, you don't mean you want me to empty the seamstress's... treasure trove filled with precious fabrics and glittering gems, do you? Although it sounds quite amusing..."
“Of course not,” Bai Mo chuckled and shook his head. “What I’m going to steal isn’t the rare treasures that fill several rooms of Ms. Agrea, but something that is a million times more precious than all of them combined.”
"Oh?" Saifei'er's interest was completely piqued; her cat-like eyes narrowed to slits, and she took a few steps closer like a cat that had smelled fish.
"More valuable than the ancient silks with lost tailoring skills, the pure gemstones the size of eggs, and her collection of the first-generation Liheng coins? Savior Chef, don't try to fool me!"
"I never exaggerate," Bai Mo said with absolute confidence.
“If Tarranton (the Titan of the Law, who printed the coin of the coin) were still alive, the proceeds from this ‘deal’ would be enough to bankrupt his treasury.”
"The savior chef?! You mean it?!" Saifeier was so excited she almost jumped up, her tail bristling and her eyes gleaming with the light of discovering a priceless treasure.
"Onpharos has a treasure of this caliber?! Where is it? Tell me! I can't wait any longer!"
“Of course there is. However,” Bai Mo changed the subject, turning his gaze to the energy-surging entrance at the heart of the cosmic vortex, “to successfully ‘steal’ such a priceless treasure, the two of us alone are not enough; we also need the strong assistance of a key figure.”
Chapter 124 Bai Mo: Still laughing? I've come to trick you.
