"The second phase has already ended. Why is he still with Lin Xuexue? Does he want to be her real male?" Sally asked. Yu Yan hurriedly shook his head, "No, no, absolutely not! His Majesty has not earned her a single point in Lin Xuexue's squad. He's been focusing solely on seclusion and cultivation, turning a deaf ear to the affairs outside." Sally: "Then why hasn't he come back now?" "Because..." Yu Yan scratched his head, "it's just... privileges..." Sally thought to herself that it was as she had suspected, "Lin Xuexue was the first place in the second phase, she got the privilege, and then she snatched him away." Yin Zang affirmed her words while eating, "Before the Holy War ends, he has to stay in Lin Xuexue's squad." Sally: "So, for the next phase, I have to rely on you two?" Yu Yan, seemingly thinking of something, said sheepishly, "Well, if it's about testing Fertility Strength, I might be powerless." Yin Zang also added, "Don't look at me. The female of a good brother is also a 'good brother'. There absolutely won't be any other messy relationships." "..." Am I that unwelcome! Sally took another sip of Spirit Fruit juice, "This is a competition for the Holy Mother. If I don't get it, you all will have to leave your lives here too." "Then... how about you find another male?" Yu Yan suggested. Sally looked at them, "You're saying there's really no way to snatch His Majesty back?" "Not necessarily." Yu Yan thought for a moment and said, "We have to start with Lin Xuexue." "Originally, Zi Qi planned to kill Lin Xuexue right when the second phase ended and the restrictions were lifted. He'd spare no effort, even if it meant a life for a life," Yin Zang said, taking a sip of beer, "He said that Lin Xuexue is a great threat to you." Sally frowned. To come up with such a desperate plan showed how passive he must be on the other side. "His Majesty didn't expect that Lin Xuexue would be taken away by the Holy War Committee's people right away. By the time she returned, Lin Xuexue had used her privilege again. She sensed His Majesty's intent to kill, and even if she didn't use His Majesty to earn points in the third phase, she wanted to ensure your team would suffer a loss of its main player," Yu Yan explained. Sally looked at Yu Yan, "Are you saying Lin Xuexue has set her sights on me?" Yin Zang confirmed, "There's no doubt. She's been watching you since the second phase, and she's been on high guard during the final round." "We have one more month. Let's think of a strategy slowly," Sally said, pinching the bridge of her nose to calm herself. Yin Zang nodded as he ate, "That's the right attitude. The more dangerous it is, the more you can't panic and throw yourself into disarray." There was a knock at the door. Sally said, "It must be the food being delivered. You guys can eat to your hearts' content now." But when the door opened, it wasn't the meal delivery. Instead, a hotel staff member was there to deliver a golden invitation to her. "A welcoming banquet for the Holy?" Sally was somewhat puzzled. "Yu Yan, do you know about this?" While gnawing on grilled fish, Yu Yan replied, "I know. There was also this during the last Holy War, but it was after the Holy War had ended. It's a grand banquet especially held for the Holy Mother, right here. At that time, the Holy Monarch himself was present." "The Holy Monarch? Right, the Holy Mother you followed last time, didn't she end up having a child with the Holy Monarch?" Sally recalled what Xiaomei had told her. Yu Yan thought for a moment, not quite certain, "Before I left, there wasn't any talk of the Holy Monarch and Holy Mother having a child. As for what happened after that, I don't know. After the welcoming banquet, I went to Lichuan on Continent 9908 through the Continental Transmission Light Array. That's where I met His Majesty and have been following him ever since." Yin Zang, who approached problems in a more straightforward and practical manner, inquired, "At the banquet, will there be delicious food?" Once food was mentioned, Yu Yan's eyes lit up as well, "Yes, lots of delicious food. I'm planning to go. Are you going?" "Definitely going," Yin Zang replied and looked towards Sally. A faint smile appeared on Sally's face, "Then we'll need to prepare well." ... Attending the banquet would certainly require formal attire. Sally had seen all sorts of fame and wealth scenes when she followed Qin Mo, and though she had almost forgotten that she once was a socialite in those circles upon arriving in Beast World, she still remembered the basics. Yin Zang was intending to continue wearing that beast skin outfit, but Sally strictly forbade it. Clad in a dark teal formal evening suit and his tough silver hair styled into a cool, handsome haircut, the scar on his face, which once was rather frightening, was now not at all fearsome but instead added a rugged, sexy charm. Yu Yan was shocked as he sized up Yin Zang, "You, who are you?" "I'm your daddy, believe it or not?" Yin Zang had learned to joke after being with him for so long. Yu Yan grinned, feeling an itch in his teeth, and decided to seek out Sally for a makeover before taking revenge on him for taking advantage. "Sis Sally, give me a makeover too." "Sure thing," Sally agreed readily. The suit was also in dark teal, but the style was more fashionable. His hair was naturally a shade of bluish-black, so Sally didn't do much to it. She simply gave him a fine trim, brushed up the bangs framing his forehead, which made his baby face seem a bit more three-dimensional and mature. After the two men were ready, Sally began to spruce herself up. And finally, she emerged from the room. Yu Yan and Yin Zang, who had been waiting for her, were dumbfounded at the sight. "You, who are you?" "She's Sally." ... The banquet began, and all the socialites of Holy City had arrived to see the candidates for the Holy Mother of this Holy War. Lin Xuexue wore a dress she bought in Holy City. The form-fitting red gown accentuated her slender, graceful figure, and the vibrant red color gave her a charming allure that drew in many people to strike up a conversation. Zi Qi was in a white evening gown, standing in a corner, scanning the room, in search of something. Since his arrival, many had taken note of him. His strong presence and innate charm made it impossible for him to keep a low profile even if he wanted to. Moreover, his appearance was exceptionally handsome, with purple hair and eyes that were bewitchingly unique. None of the males present could compare to him. Zi Qi had no desire to come here, but thinking she might show up, he eventually did. Other candidates for Holy Mother also arrived one after another, but none could outshine Lin Xuexue; they instead became her backdrop. Soon, another person arrived at the hotel entrance. With black hair and green eyes, dressed in a black suit, as soon as he arrived, many people approached him to greet him warmly. "Holy Prince, may you be well." "Holy Prince, long time no see. I heard you've become a Holy Executor for the Holy War, having fun? Have you met any females you fancy? Ha ha~" "Your Highness, the Holy Prince..." Frans handled the socializing effortlessly. Yet, his gaze eventually settled on Zi Qi and, temporarily breaking away from the crowd, he approached Zi Qi. "Are you a male from the Lichuan 9908 squad?" Frans asked. Zi Qi gave him a faint glance, "And you are?" "I am the Holy Executor for this Holy War, Frans." "They call you Prince."
