Chapter 184.1
The youth with black hair like a waterfall kneeled with his hands against the wall in front of him, his soft, silky hair spreading out behind him. The dark black contrasted greatly against the jade-like white.
The white jade skin beneath the black silky hair was filled with spots of pale pink and light peach.
Cold, transparent ice brushed against the pink, and the smooth white immediately trembled and tensed up.
Tears were falling from the corners of the youth’s eyes, and the brimming ends looked like melted spring water.
He twisted his long, slender neck in shame, his silky hair sliding with the movement.
“Are we not yet done?” The youth whispered, his tone a little helpless and pleading.
The silver-haired wizard gently picked up a smooth piece of ice, and his cold silver eyes flashed with suspicion as he placed the block of ice into the heat source. He then slowly looked up and asked, “How many pieces now?”
The youth’s back arched subconsciously, his hands against the wall clenching.
His eyes were filled with helplessness, and he said with embarrassment, “Eight… eight pieces, right?”
The wizard’s fingers pressed against the ice. “So now it’s nine?”
The youth instantly fell forward, and a tingling current rushed from his tailbone straight to his brain.
He was going to die.
*Guys, please do not try this at home🙈
The silver-haired wizard watched the youth, the cold silver under them seemingly able to freeze even lava.
He coalesced a new ice cube from the air and spoke with unquestionable certainty, “Master, the more the better, let’s work hard.”
Bai Lixin: “……”
Wuuu, this bastard, is this something that can be done together?
There’s no good Dijia in this world.

In the live broadcast room.
[Alas, God Xin’s joy was short-lived. There’s an image halfway through the five days where a silver-haired wizard was carrying him away from the sea monster’s palace.]
[Oh, so tragic.]
[So wonderful.]
[So exciting.]
[It’s too exciting.]
[Licking the screen .jpg.]
[Ugh, black screens and more black screens—how many more black screens shall we see? I’m really curious about what happened in the past four days and today.]
[ First rule out that they are applauding to love.]
[If you can’t see it, does it mean you can’t imagine it?]
[Cover the face.jpg. can imagining be the same as watching? I’m so pure, how can you make me think so deeply? I want to say it out loud, I just want to see it!]
[The fairytale world is great. It gives us the chance to give our dreams wings. It’s really good to have everything, ice men, vines, are dragons next?]
[Snakes are not bad either.]
[It’s a well-known fact that both snakes and dragons have two heads.]
[? What, what?! It must not be what I’m thinking!]
[Well, it must be what you think.]
[Wow, as expected of a fairy tale world, the wings of these dreams could fly them out of the universe and be shoulder to shoulder with the sun, right?]
[Well, the war of the ages.]
[…… The barrage section always makes me sigh at the profoundness of words, but in the end, I’m still too young.]
———————
The silver-haired wizard went down on one and respectfully lifted the last of the leather boots for the youth, tying the black laces into a symmetrical bow shape before he carefully examined them again to make sure there were no flaws. He looked up at the beautiful youth who was dressed like a doll and said, “So you plan to visit the Xihai house tonight?”
*I made mistake with the pinyin name of the mermaid girl’s family. It’s not Haitai but Xihai. Sorry!! “Tai” turned out to be a title not part of the name!!
The youth’s eyes were still misted with water, and his long, cascading hair was partly spread out on the messy bed behind him and partly in front of him.
He nodded, “Yes.”
The deep black set off the youth’s smooth skin and made it look even more crystal clear.
A glint flickered in the silver-haired wizard’s eyes. He exhaled softly, and a layer of frost immediately condensed around him.
The youth saw this and trembled subconsciously.
The silver-haired wizard took in the youth’s reaction as he slowly inhaled, and the cold air around him was sucked back into his abdomen.
“Does it still hurt?”
The youth froze for a moment before reacting to what the silver-haired wizard was asking, and a blush floated across his cheeks. “No, I’m already better.”
The silver-haired wizard rose from the ground and looked down at the youth from above.
The youth was sitting on the edge of the bed with his hands at his sides and his eyes slightly downcast. From the wizard’s position, he could easily see the rapid fluttering of the youth’s thick, featherlike eyelashes.
He had changed him into luxurious and exquisite aristocratic clothes, with a white shirt inside and a small tuxedo of pure white outside. A large sapphire became the highlight of the outfit.
But the sapphire’s crystal clarity was not as bright as the starlight in the youth’s eyes.
Just by sitting there without speaking, he carried a natural nobility that would have made even a prince in the palace feel ashamed of himself.
The silver-haired wizard looked at the youth for a while, and his cold face finally showed a smile of satisfaction.
As beautiful as an angelic sculpture in a window.
This was the master he served, and it was his most perfect work.
The youth was blushing with shame because of the question he had just asked, but he obviously did not know that the more he did, the easier it was to stir up the desire to abuse him.
The silver-haired wizard said righteously, “The ice is all melted; even the lava in a volcano can melt, let alone a flower that has gone up in flames. If the swelling has not reduced after taking in so many, then I’ll start to doubt my healing skills, don’t you think so, Master?”
The words fell, and he was satisfied to see the look of resignation on the youth’s beautiful face. Dark eyes squinted at him as if he were complaining and as if he were ashamed. He saw the youth’s mouth open and wordlessly squeeze out a word.
Quack.
The silver-haired wizard raised an eyebrow: “……”
Heh.
Bai Lixin flicked his hair and said, “This hair is a bit of a nuisance.”
Silver-haired wizard: “It’s too long, I’ll trim it for you.”
With that, the silver-haired wizard took his magic wand and recited an obscure incantation, which turned into a pair of scissors the next second.
He twirled Bai Lixin’s hair and measured it, and under Bai Lixin’s anxious mood, he finally trimmed it from the waist.
His movements were somewhat awkward, yet very professional.
In just a few minutes, the four-meter-long hair now reached Bai Lixin’s waist.
The scissors turned back into a magic wand, which was flung at the severed hair, and the hair immediately flew up in the air as if it had come to life.
Bai Lixin looked at the silver-haired wizard curiously.
Silver-haired wizard: “We magic practitioners say that hair is also a source of life energy. That’s why many magic potions are made using human hair, animal hair, beards, and other materials.”
“I will use your hair to weave you a magical cloak containing your power and my blessing. With this cloak, no curse can harm you.”
He paused and added, “Not even the sea monster can tear through it.”
Bai Lixin: “……”
Can this whole sea monster thing be forgotten?
Every three sentences are about the sea monster, why don’t you just go out with him!
——————
At night, two slender black figures merged into the dense fog.
Bai Lixin followed the map provided by the system in his mind, and they easily found the Xihai family house.
The residents in this seaside city seemed resistant to going out at night, it was only ten o’clock but the streets were already deserted.
According to their understanding, the Xihai family used to be a rich household in this seaside city, and the recently deceased Mr. Xihai used to be the town’s most handsome man.
Later, the family gradually fell, which led Mr Xihai to take up the business of going to sea.
The Xihai family members were now dead, gone, or missing, and the former luxurious home was now long gone, leaving only an empty mansion.
The streetlights around the house had long since gone out, and under the cover of the fog, Bai Lixin finally reached the big iron gate of the house.
The gate wasn’t locked, and it was slightly ajar. He gently pushed it, and the rusty iron door immediately let out a high-pitched “creak,” which was very loud in the silent night.
Bai Lixin narrowed his eyes at the three-story building and suddenly noticed a flash of light in one of the rooms.
His eyes immediately sharpened, and he glanced to his side, noticing that the silver-haired wizard’s eyes were also focused on the spot where the light had just disappeared.
Sensing Bai Lixin’s gaze, the silver-haired wizard’s jaw tensed, and he asked in a low voice, “Scared?”
Bai Lixin: “……”
Scared? Me? Is it the light that is scary?
The silver-haired wizard walked closer to Bai Lixin and said, “Don’t be afraid, the black cloak you are wearing has my warding magic added to it to protect against sub-lethal injuries. Although it can only protect against small attacks, I can tell the moment the protective magic is activated.”
“Not only does your cloak have a warding spell, but it also has a special teleportation spell that will allow me to teleport you to safety the moment the protective spell is activated.”
The silver-haired wizard twisted the thin, black cloak on the youth’s body and said, in an unskilled, reassuringly cold tone, “So have no fear at all, master.”
Bai Lixin thought about what to say for a moment, but finally just nodded.
He couldn’t really explain why a person who only cried in bed wouldn’t be afraid of this.
‘Let me tell you, good brother. I’m invincible, can you believe it,?’
The system’s voice rang out in Bai Lixin’s mind, [Yes, you are obviously so strong, master Bai Lixin, why do you cry when in bed?]
Bai Lixin: [……]
S419: [You don’t know why, sister system? That is called moaning. Lord host is not crying but enjoying himself. He enjoys the feeling of being a victim more than being an attacker, right, Lord host?]
Bai Lixin: [……]
I don’t want to answer this kind of useless question.
Although s419M is right, why does he accept to be a receiver and not an attacker?
It’s obviously because it’s comfortable ah.
There are only tired cows and no plowed fields.
*I will not go into the whole analysis, but if the deeper meaning is that one should not pursue things beyond their capabilities, otherwise, you will only end up working too hard!
Of course, his cow is a bit strange, it’s as if the word “tired” was directly deducted from his dictionary.
Not only was the iron gate of the Highai house open, but even the wooden door of the house was unlocked.
Bai Lixin was about to take the flashlight out of his backpack when the silver-haired wizard beside him waved his magic wand, and a bright light immediately appeared at the tip.
Bai Lixin looked almost jealous.
It was so nice to be a wizard; a magic wand was everything, right? It could be used as scissors and a light bulb, what else couldn’t it do?
The little white lamp looked small, but it illuminated a very wide area, with a depth of about four or five meters.
Using the pale white light, Bai Lixin quickly looked around the hall.
There was nothing in the hall but an ordinary sofa and coffee table, and when the light reached the coffee table, there was suddenly a small sound of footsteps overhead.
It sounded like something was running across the decaying wooden floor, making a “creaking” sound.
Bai Lixin and the silver-haired wizard looked over at the same time, and the light followed them.
At the bottom of the stairs, where the light shone, a small, dark figure ran down the stairs as fast as lightning.
Bai Lixin and Dijia looked at each other, and the magic wand in Dijia’s hand immediately sent out countless glowing white threads.
The instant the white threads flew out, they immediately chased the black shadow toward where it had disappeared.
A few moments later, the white threads landed on the ground, forming a glowing white mass of light.
The silver-haired wizard saw the motionless white threads and frowned slightly, “I caught it, but then it got away.”
“I managed to get its general direction though, do you want to check it out?”
Bai Lixin looked down at the white threads which were stretching out to the bottom of the stairs. “Below should be the basement, right?”
Silver-haired wizard: “Looks like it.”
Bai Lixin: “If I remember correctly, the witness in the rumor saw Miss Xihai’s dismembered body and Mrs Xihai eating flesh in the basement, right?”
“Let’s walk down and take a look, I had intended to visit the crime scene anyway.”
With the white threads guiding and illuminating the way, Bai Lixin and Dijia had little difficulty navigating their way forward. The wooden floor had already deteriorated from age, and the surface immediately creaked as they stepped on it.
The wooden planks beneath their feet wobbled a little, as if they could break in two at any moment.
As he walked down the stairs, Bai Lixin said, “The Xihai family looks like it has really fallen.”
“From the outside, the house looks quite magnificent, but when you get to the inside of the house, all the glamour is ripped away.”
The basement looked like a utility room, with shelves around it and many dated-looking objects on the shelves.
The white threads stopped in the middle of the basement and disappeared.
The silver-haired wizard used his magic wand to illuminate the way, and when the two of them reached the end of the white threads, he picked them up and looked at them, his eyes going cold for a moment.
Bai Lixin looked over and saw that the ends were slightly stretched, as if they had been pulled off.
The silver-haired wizard squeezed the white threads, and his voice had a chill to it, “My white threads caught it again, and then it broke free.”
“My white threads never let go once they wrap themselves around their target and will never be easily broken. The other party’s strength is not normal,” the silver-haired wizard said, stepping in front of Bai Lixin like some kind of protector. “We don’t know the identity of the other party yet, so we have to be careful.”
The silver magic wand was waved twice, and the dark basement was immediately filled with white light.
Bai Lixin also finally saw the full view of the basement.
The basement was large. The beginning areas had shelves, and further in, there was a giant bathtub.
The water in the bathtub had long since been drained, and the dust and mud stains on the white tiles showed that it hadn’t been used for a long time.
However, the obvious stain from the water line showed that it was once filled with water.
At the bottom of the bathtub, hidden in the wood shavings and thick dust, was a shiny object.
The bathtub was somewhat deep, almost a meter deep, and when Bai Lixin saw the glittering object, he held onto the wall of the bathtub and reached out to get it.
As soon as his hand reached out for the object, the air in front of him suddenly distorted for a moment.
In the next second, countless streams of blue and clear water gushed out from the bottom, instantly enveloping Bai Lixin’s body.
The water had the salty smell of seawater, as well as a faint and familiar scent, which Bai Lixin could not recall for a while.
He opened his eyes in the water and watched as the sea water washed away the mud underneath, exposing the hidden object at the bottom; there was a beautiful blue scale, and judging from its size, the owner of the scale must be at least three meters long.
Bai Lixin turned his head to look at the surface of the water and found that the silver-haired wizard was still standing by the side, his shoulders tense, and one could see that he was in a state of tension.
He had plunged into the water, and the other man hadn’t noticed.
Then there was only one possibility: he had entered a special time-distorted space. He knew that he was immersed in the water, but from someone else’s perspective, he was still in his initial position.
The blue scale danced under the ripples of the seawater. Bai Lixin subconsciously went to grab it, but the instant he touched the scale, he felt a pulling sensation.
