The sky was slowly breaking after their wild night, revealing the slow rise of dawn.

The light outside the window gradually grew brighter as Lan Xi lay in Fike’s arms, sound asleep.

After some time, the couple finally woke up.

Cisco and the other three professors had been patiently waiting for Fike for quite a while in the Imperial Court.

Fike woke up first.

“Lan Xi! Lan Xi! It’s time to wake up!”

He nudged her gently.

Lan Xi opened her sleepy eyes, only for a wave of drowsiness to wash over her again.

“Let me sleep for a while more, okay?”

Lan Xi muttered lazily.

Fike smiled.

“Lazy pig, get up! The sun will set before you do…”

Under the covers, Fike reached his hand down Lan Xi’s body again.

His fingers were extremely nimble and skilled as he found the cave from yesterday.

However, Lan Xi did not react as startled as she did last time, and fought stubbornly not to budge from her sleep.

“Still not getting up?”

“I won’t get up! Hmph!”

“Alright!”

Fike inserted his finger into the cave, launching yet another fierce attack.

After a round of violent movements, Lan Xi’s body finally couldn’t take it anymore, and started to convulse as a sparkling fluid rushed out of her cave.

“Alright, alright! I surrender! I’ll get up, okay?”

Lan Xi whined coquettishly.

Lan Xi sat up, while Fike stood on the bed, smiling wickedly

“You’re better now, but I’m not!”

Lan Xi looked at Fike’s member and sighed helplessly.

“We’ve gone so many times, but it’s still so energetic!”

Then, she parted her red lips slightly to hold Fike’s member.

After another long and fierce battle, they finally ended after more than an hour.

The couple put on their clothes and prepared to go out for a walk.

Opening the door, Fike immediately met Saunders, who had been waiting outside for quite a while.

“Prince Consort, you’re finally up!”

Fike replied to the attendant with a smile.

“It seems that Chief Saunders has been waiting for a long time!”

“Ah, Sir! Please hurry and meet the king with me!

“The king and your four friends have been waiting for you in the court for a while!”

Fike and Lan Xi immediately followed Saunders to the Imperial Court of the palace.

As expected, Ross Collin III was seated on the throne, while Cisco and the others occupied the court seats.

“Fike! You and Jiu are finally up!”

King Ross Collin III’s voice boomed.

Fike smiled awkwardly.

“I’ve been traveling day and night for the past few days, I never got to have a good rest! Please forgive me!”

After a quick chat, they got to the main topic at hand.

“Fike, I heard that you and these four of your friends are going to investigate the strange Exotic Beast Tower in the east of the Imperial Capital? Is that true?”

Ross Collin III asked.

“Your Majesty, that is true indeed.”

“When do you plan to set off?”

Fike glanced at Cisco, who was seated on the right side of the court. The professor winked at him.

He quickly understood.

“We plan to set off tonight. We’re pressed for time, and we don’t dare to stall.”

The king frowned slightly.

“Tonight? Won’t that be too rushed?”

Fike waved his hand and explained.

“The academy tasked us with returning within two months. We don’t have much time, so I hope Your Majesty can forgive us!”

Ross Collin III sighed slightly before changing the topic.

“What are your plans regarding Lan Xi then?”

Hearing her father mentioning her, Lan Xi turned to look at Fike.

Fike looked back at her as he replied.

“Whether she wants to go to the Beast Tower with us, or stay here in the capital, I won’t object!”

Lan Xi smiled happily, to which Ross Collin III responded.

“Okay! Then, Lan Xi, what do you think?”

Lan Xi beamed.

“Of course, I want to stay with my husband!”

“Alright, if that’s the case, you may pack up and leave!”

Ross Collin III continued.

“Oh right! Fike, I mentioned that I would reward you handsomely. Someone, bring that thing!”

As he spoke, six maids entered the Imperial Court, carrying with them a treasure box covered by a red cloth.

Fike and the others barely had time to be surprised before the red cloth was lifted.

Countless pearls and jewels were scattered around the entire hall.

[Hidden Information: Three pieces of Miracle Fragments, Primordial God Gem, and countless rare herbs.]

Fike’s expression betrayed his excitement as he looked at the rare treasures and saw the hidden information before him.

‘Hidden message, what is the use of the Primordial God Gem?’

[Hidden Information: The Primordial God Gem was initially an ordinary ornament on the original god’s divine weapon. However, because it had been with the original god for thousands of years, it now contains the aura of the original god. Wearing the Primordial God Gem on your body will greatly increase your level, and has a substantial effect on your cultivation of the Primordial Power.]

When Fike saw this hidden message, he grew even more excited.

Ross Collin III spoke up at the moment.

“Fike, I’ve seen that your skills in alchemy are unparalleled. Today, I will give you some of the rare medicinal herbs in the Medicine Hall. As for the other two…

“I obtained them by chance when I was young at the border of Rero. They were originally my personal possessions, but today, I will give them to you as well!”

Fike immediately thanked him profusely after hearing that.

“Alright, it’s getting late! You guys can set off if you wish!”

…

Fike and the others gathered outside of the palace, where three royal carriages stood waiting.

After they had gotten in, the coachman rode the horses to the east.

Meanwhile, in the Imperial Court of the palace, Flandor and Brad had quietly come to meet with the king.

“Your Majesty! May I ask how the Third Prince will be dealt with?”

“Leave him be for now. The crisis of the Heavenly King’s Palace has been temporarily resolved, but I have a feeling that an even greater turmoil will soon arrive.”

“Your Majesty, What about the Prince Consort and the Ninth Princess? Are you going to let them go just like that?”

“They have done me a favor, after all. Although it’s true we are currently desperate for talents, it won’t be good to force them to stay. We can take the opportunity to recruit more talents from all over the world!

“Oh right, Flandor, how’s the investigation from the spies in the other palaces coming along?”

“Your Majesty, the spies from the Sea King’s Palace and the Fire King’s Palace have reported that they seemed to be happy over the news of Zakaithus’ death. They didn’t seem distressed at all.”

“Is that so?”
