Join the ServerHumming a cheerful tune, Felicia walked along the streets of Inte Town.
Now, the tracking spell Seraphina had placed on her had been fully lifted by that Anka.
Although Felicia had promised to owe Anka a favor in the future, if she simply forgot about it, wouldn’t that be like scamming her?
Felicia wasn’t the type to break her word, but something about those three felt off.
Especially that Anka—on the surface, she seemed airheaded, but the more Felicia thought about it, the stranger she seemed.
Maybe that’s just a girl’s intuition.
Felicia thought so.
Now that she had money and didn’t have to worry about Seraphina showing up unexpectedly, Felicia first found an inn.
“I need a room,” Felicia said as she walked into the inn to the innkeeper.
“One hundred crystals a night,” the innkeeper replied coldly without even looking at Felicia.
“Didn’t your sign outside say fifty crystals a night?” Felicia asked.
“We’ve had a lot of guests lately, so the price went up. Also, I should mention, I’m the only inn around here.”
It was clear the innkeeper was trying to rip her off.
“I’ll be leaving tonight, so how much do I need to pay?”
“Half a night’s stay, so fifty.”
Felicia paid without hesitation.
After all, it wasn’t her money anyway—no point in saving it. And for someone with her level of strength, opportunities to earn more were plentiful.
The innkeeper fumbled around for a moment, then took out a room key and tossed it to Felicia.
“First room on the second floor.”
Felicia went upstairs, found her room, and pushed open the door.
The room was simply furnished: a bed, a bookshelf, a desk, a window, and a bathroom.
There was an empty vase on the windowsill and a few books on the shelf.
The environment was certainly no match for the castle, but as Felicia sat on the bed, she felt a wave of relief.
In short, freedom felt amazing!
“This feeling of being free and alone is really something,” Felicia remarked.

Outside Inte Town.
“How did my life magic get severed?” Bai Ye, wrapped in a black robe, was startled.
Just now, she sensed that the life magic she had planted on Felicia had been cut off.
Bai Ye’s life magic not only helped heal Felicia but also allowed her to track Felicia.
However, now that the life magic had been severed, Bai Ye had lost her ability to locate Felicia.
“A remote town like this wouldn’t have a teleportation array, and the life magic was just cut off, meaning Felicia is likely still here… Well, since I’m already here, I might as well take my time looking.”
“I’ll start by asking around.”
Bai Ye, still in her black robe, swaggered into Inte Town without even showing her face.
Her peculiar attire naturally drew the attention of passersby.
I mean, wearing a black robe in broad daylight with her face hidden was practically like having the words “I’m not a good person” carved on her forehead.
It just went to show that Bai Ye, who appeared normal, was actually quite abnormal.
Some townsfolk were even ready to fetch the guards to arrest her.
“Hello,” Bai Ye randomly stopped a passerby.
The passerby she stopped was a middle-aged man in his thirties.
“Wearing that getup in broad daylight—are you out of your mind?” the man asked.
“…” That one sentence nearly short-circuited Bai Ye’s brain.
“That’s not important. Have you seen this person?” Bai Ye pulled out a portrait of Felicia.
“No, no. The person in this picture is so pretty; if I had seen her, I’d definitely remember.”
“Alright, thank you.”
Bai Ye continued asking passersby with the portrait, but most answers were “I don’t know,” to the point where she almost gave up.
But considering her own matters, Bai Ye knew she had to find Felicia.
Finally, Bai Ye made a breakthrough.
“This person? I know her. She headed toward the only inn in Inte Town. Keep walking straight and you’ll see it.”
“Thank you, thank you! You’ve been a huge help.” Bai Ye stuffed some bills into the passerby’s hand and headed straight for the inn.
In the castle, Bai Ye couldn’t make a move, but now that Felicia had left voluntarily, this was her chance.
She had to seize this opportunity; whether there would be another chance was uncertain.
“Sorry… but I have to do this,” Bai Ye murmured to herself.
Bai Ye entered the inn, and before the innkeeper could speak, she snapped her fingers.
Instantly, the innkeeper’s gaze went blank.
“A simple mind interference spell—low-level but effective.”
“I ask you, have you seen this young lady?” Bai Ye showed the portrait of Felicia.
“Yes, she’s in the first room on the second floor.”
“Good.” Bai Ye nodded, then waved her hand, and the innkeeper lost consciousness, collapsing onto the counter.
She approached Felicia’s room step by step.
And what was Felicia doing? She was still sleeping, completely unaware of the approaching danger.
“…” Bai Ye now stood in front of Felicia’s door but made no further move.
It wasn’t that Bai Ye had a soft heart and couldn’t bring herself to act, but that making a move here would attract a lot of attention.
In this small Inte Town, she sensed two auras clearly stronger than hers, and one that was unfathomable.
It was hard to imagine such a small place gathering three powerful experts.
If Bai Ye acted here, she’d likely attract those three, and it might turn into a four-way free-for-all, leaving Bai Ye with no benefit.
Better to wait until Felicia left the inn, or even Inte Town, to make her move—that would greatly increase her chances of success.

“How is it?” Haikong asked curiously.
“That sneaky black-clothed woman has already arrived outside Hajilong’s room,” Wumi replied.
“Should we go chase that black-clothed woman away? She clearly isn’t a good person. Plus, it’ll make that Felicia owe us a favor.”
“Are you going to offer yourself to her in marriage?” Anka suddenly blurted out.
“Cough, cough, cough, cough!” Haikong nearly choked and died on the spot. “Boss, where did you learn all this stuff?”
“From watching videos,” Anka replied.
“Boss, I suggest you watch fewer videos from now on.” Haikong rolled his eyes. “So, are we going to make a move?”
“No rush,” Anka said. “That sneaky black-clothed woman clearly won’t take direct action here. Even if we catch her, we won’t convince Felicia.”
“Better to wait until she makes her move on Felicia, and then we’ll appear like a blessing from heaven. That way, we can negotiate terms.”
“Wow, as expected from you, boss.” Haikong gave a thumbs up. “By the way, I sensed life magic from that black-clothed woman… Is she from the Life Church?”
“Strange. Why would the Life Church target a dragon?”
“Who knows,” Anka shrugged. “We’ll just focus on the rescue when the time comes.”
