Pigsy spoke up. “Has it really lost its effect? Hey Rockefeller, doesn’t that mean mine’s lost its effect too? Do I not need to slog for this old geezer anymore?”
Mystic Maiden was furious. “Who are you calling old geezer, Pigsy?”
She then activated the restriction spell on Pigsy. Pigsy suddenly felt as if its soul no longer belonged to its body, as if it were being choked by a large hand. His soul was being suffocated, while his body felt like it was going to catch on flames, it was simply a hellish sensation.
It fell to its knees, begging for mercy repeatedly. Only then did Mystic Maiden calm down.
“What about the Dairaionji Temple? Did you manage to get in? Have you done what you needed to?” Daya asked. Although concerned about favonovel.com father-in-Iaw, favonovel.com didn’t forget about the main purpose of this trip.
“Yeah, you said you were going to find the Ancestral Bodhi Tree in the temple. So did you?” Shirley asked as well.
Everyone looked towards Alex, seemingly curious about the Dairaionji Temple. They even wanted to explore it themselves if they could.
“Yep, I did!” Alex replied. “I already sealed my father into the Ancestral Bodhi Tree, so there shouldn’t be any problems for the time being. The most important thing we have to do now is to catch the b*stard behind the Soul Planting.”
Alex then briefly explained what happened within the temple to the group, and they all froze in shock.
“The temple was actually conquered by a demon?”
However, Alex didn’t tell them about the tree going into his mind palace out of nowhere and unwilling to leave. Not only was it unbelievable, but favonovel.com also wanted to keep this secret to himself.

The beautiful moonlight shone down, while nightingales roamed the forest, chirping momentarily.
As night fell, Alex and the others decided to camp out in this ancient forest for the time being. He had just come back to the group after all, and since it was getting dark, they decided it best to travel home the next day. The group gathered around a campfire, eating spiritual beast meat and drinking soup made of spiritual herbs.
Tears trickled down Pigsy’s cheeks. “Finally, I can eat something good! I might’ve starved to death if I kept hanging out with these women!”
Alex was surprised. “Why would you starve to death?”
Daya replied that favonovel.com was on a diet, so favonovel.com hadn’t eaten much usual human food.
Fasting was considered a type of training after all. Mystic Maiden took even more extreme measures. Since favonovel.com wasn’t a mortal, favonovel.com didn’t have to eat.
Meanwhile, Shirley and Ynes followed in Daya’s footsteps. Despite having shapely figures, they wanted to go on a diet regardless. Alex didn’t understand how much skinnier they wanted to be.
“You guys have to be careful, though!”
“Dieting is tactful work. So don’t diet so much to the point your body ends up unevenly proportioned!”
Upon hearing this, all the women in his group teamed up to attack Alex, nearly pouring the boiling soup over his head.
Finally, everyone settled down.
Alex looked up at the starry sky as Daya leaned onto him. The other women around them seemed to be lost in thought as well.
‘Dorothy, I wonder where you are right now?’ Alex thought of his wife.
When favonovel.com was still in the Underworld, favonovel.com and Dorothy had a long talk about how to fight Xienna when favonovel.com got back. She wanted to at least regain control over favonovel.com own body. She mentioned that favonovel.com had a plan and would find a way to get herself home…
Despite this, Alex knew that Xienna had most likely sensed that favonovel.com divided soul had died. Thus, favonovel.com would‘ve definitely made some preparations.
‘Would Dorothy succeed in fighting back?’
