Chapter 119: Golden City

In a densely populated and impoverished slum area, inside a very inconspicuous wooden house.

No light sources penetrated the surroundings; the enclosed walls blocked out the sunlight, except for a hole in the ceiling, allowing light to shine on the floor, where a mysterious red mark was engraved.

Outside the circular light shadow, a group of people knelt on the ground, their eye sockets pitch black, looking ferocious and terrifying.

At this moment, one of them slightly raised his head, opened his eyes, and revealed his face at the edge of the shadow. It was none other than the long-missing Kaecilius.

He murmured softly.

"Great master, our plan has failed. Lilith was killed."

In Kaecilius's hands, resting on his thighs, was a portrait of Lilith. The portrait spontaneously combusted in his hands, turning into ashes.

"Stupid woman, she was still found by that human."

At this time, Dormammu's voice echoed in Kaecilius's mind.

"Abandon this plan. That human is more cunning and stronger than we imagined. My servant, choose a new target, one that is stronger and more cunning. Do not disappoint me this time. I want to see that human wail and cry in front of me."

The resonant, low voice made Kaecilius feel as if his soul was trembling.

Kaecilius's expression remained unchanged: "Yes, my master."Vissit novelbin(.)c.om for updates

He was met with silence. Kaecilius knew his master had severed communication, and the mark on his forehead dimmed.

He looked at the members of the dark sorcerers' cult who had developed during this time and said sternly: "Go, do what you must, and divert their attention."

The dark sorcerers stood up in unison and walked away, disappearing into the shadows.

Kaecilius kept pondering the target that would satisfy his master.

At this moment, a name flashed through his mind.

During deep sleep, his super brain no longer required a lot of magic to maintain operation, and his body did not either. So, this magic would transfer to his cells, organs, bones, and so on.

In other words, if Bi Xiao let himself sleep freely, it would not be a matter of one or two days but decades or even centuries.

But Bi Xiao did not need to do that; sleeping would be too wasteful of time and make him miss many wonderful stages.

Especially in recent days, he had spent many nights with Bella, which also included some excavating projects.

After waking up, he lowered his head and kissed the girl's forehead, brushed aside a few stray strands of her hair, and looking into her watery eyes, he said softly: "It seems we need some morning exercise."

"Ah, no, Shaw, ah..."

Two hours passed, and the blush-inducing scene was gone. Bi Xiao and Bella got up and began to wash up, especially Bella, who brushed her teeth particularly hard, occasionally rolling her eyes at Bi Xiao.

Bi Xiao winked playfully and made a simple yet delicious breakfast for them.

After enjoying breakfast, Bi Xiao and Bella came down from the RV, took two chairs, and sat by the lake, admiring the scenery. Bi Xiao turned to Bella: "Are you planning to finish this semester?"

"Yes, Charlie hopes I will, so..." Bella nodded.

Charlie was a traditional and old-fashioned father. Even after the divorce, he rarely saw Bella. Since Bella came to Forks, Charlie gradually noticed some changes in her.

But he still hoped Bella would finish high school in Forks.

Bella also didn't want to disappoint Charlie.

Hearing Bella's decision, Bi Xiao was not surprised. In fact, he wouldn't interfere too much with Bella's choices because respect was mutual.

"So, you’re leaving?"

"No, not for now. Maybe I'll need to handle some things in between; you know, sometimes I get very busy." Bi Xiao hinted, and Bella understood.

It was about expelling or hunting down those enemies invading Earth from other dimensions.

But what Bella didn't understand was that Bi Xiao's real thoughts were a bit different from what she imagined. He was about to formally start building the Golden City.
