The towering house was full of the smell of potions. It didn’t seem big from the outside, but once inside, you’d discover something strange.
Inside the house is a spiral staircase with a total of five floors. The ground floor was a hall, the second a study, and the third was a potion room.
The fourth and fifth floors were unknown to Bai Lixin, as he was only taken to the third floor.
The door of the room on the third floor was opened, and the man in black threw Bai Lixin into a small chair.
Then a pair of good-looking hands reached out from the cloak and grasped the edge of the hood, lifting it back to reveal the face hidden inside.
Seeing that all-too-familiar face left Bai Lixin momentarily dumbfounded.
The man beneath the hood had silver hair and silver-gray eyes. On his left eye was a monocle with a chain hanging from it. He had a serious expression and a refined and elegant look to his whole demeanor.
Dijia’s features were a little softer this time, his silver hair was casually braided in a twist behind him and placed over one shoulder.
Help! Why did such a Dijia make him want to bully him?
The one in front of him was Dijia, and the one in the lake just now was also Dijia.
No way, what was the situation? Was it like the campus copy, where the main body also came in?
While Bai Lixin was gazing at Dijia, the Dijia on the other side was also examining Bai Lixin.
But he just took a look and then got a blanket from the chair and covered Bai Lixin’s body.
“Thank you,” Bai Lixin blinked, his eyes sweeping around the room full of magical objects, “are you the…witch?”
At the word ‘witch’, the other party’s expression didn’t change for a moment as he looked at Bai Lixin and said, “Yes, I am the ‘witch’ as you call me. I will not harm you, for you are not what I want. The forest is dangerous, so you should leave first thing tomorrow. Go back and tell the king to bring what I want.”
Bai Lixin thought of the slimy vines and the strange lake and agreed with the words “the forest is dangerous”.
He weighed the words carefully and asked with a frown, “What do you want? Is it the prince?”
The other party looked at Bai Lixin and said, “Yes. Go back and tell the king that taking what does not belong to him will only bring disaster. That was not a gift, but a demon’s whisper.”
“The king will not listen,” Bai Lixin shook his head at that, “nor will he send the prince to you. Otherwise, he would have sent him to you long ago, in the previous eighteen years, why wait until now? Moreover, he transferred the curse to me.”
Dijia kept his head down and fiddled with his potion as Bai Lixin talked, and it was only when he heard the last sentence that the man looked up, surprise flashing through his eyes.
He put down the tools in his hands and stepped in front of Bai Lixin, cupping his chin and sweeping it back and forth.
If he hadn’t been so focused on his eyes, Bai Lixin would have thought that he was planning to eat his tofu.
*Eating tofu is getting to touch someone.
Although there was a special sense of abstinence due to the monocle, the Dijia in front of him was very different from Doctor Dijia in the campus copy.
The doctor was a wolf in sheep’s clothing, a beast in human skin.
The wizard in front of him, although he was also wearing glasses, was a real academic, as clean as if this world was really just a fairy tale world, without a trace of a dirty mind.
Hiss, so pure.
Because he was so focused, the man’s eyes almost stuck to Bai Lixin. After looking seriously for a while, his eyes moved, and they happened to meet Bai Lixin’s.
If it were before, which Dijia would not be amazed? But this Dijia didn’t even blink, he let Bai Lixin go straight away and nodded with his chin in his hand, “Yes, the curse has indeed been transferred to you.”
“This looks like they are unwilling to return the thing to me.”
He frowned slightly, his expression a little tangled: “What to do? I didn’t want to kill anyone, I wanted to use peaceful means by just placing the curse.”
His voice was soft, and his eyes did not look at Bai Lixin; he was instead looking at his toes.
Although he was speaking out loud, it was like he was talking to himself.
It seemed to him that he was the only one in the room, and all the others were furnishings or objects.
Bai Lixin had rarely seen such a Dijia, and he felt a sense of novelty, and for some reason, a vague desire to conquer rose in his heart.
“By the way, the prince is a human being, right? Why do you keep calling him a thing?” Bai Lixin adjusted his posture and asked, “Is it because you think all humans other than you are only worthy of being called ‘things’?”
It was probably the first time he was asked this kind of question, and Dijia, the wizard, stiffened. He looked up, his eyes still a little blank, as if he had only just reacted to the fact that there was someone else in the room, “He is a thing.”
“I’m not looking down on him.”
“And I am not a human, but a guardian of the forest. I have been watching over the evil that is held in the forest for all these years.”
“But one day, eighteen years ago, a human stole the seed of evil and offered it to the king and queen.”
“By the time I found out, it was too late, the evil seed had sprouted and the fruit had ripened into a baby.”
“I tried to take the baby, but the king seemed to have anticipated it and used a giant boundary to keep me out. All I could do was release a curse so that the evil child could destroy itself after eighteen years and become a harmless daffodil.”
The handsome silver-haired man looked at Bai Lixin for a moment and said, “Only, I didn’t expect them to transfer the curse.”
“That’s why I’m here.” Bai Lixin changed position again, and the blanket inadvertently slipped off, exposing his bare shoulders and collarbone. “I was just passing by, and didn’t even know what had happened, but I woke up with a curse. Can you help me lift it, wizard Dijia?”
The silver-haired man looked up abruptly and asked, “What did you call me?”
Bai Lixin: “Dijia, isn’t that your name?”
The man lowered his eyes, his clear silver eyes looked at Bai Lixin for a moment, and his mouth kept mumbling the name, “Dijia, Dijia…”
Bai Lixin was a little puzzled, and in the next second, he saw the man suddenly go on one knee in front of him, one hand reverently grasping the back of Bai Lixin’s hand, and a pair of serious eyes looked up at the unknown youth.
“There is a prophecy about me in the Book of Prophecy, and one of its lines goes like this.”
“At some point in the future, someone will appear before me and give me a name from the bright stars, and from then on, I will be His most loyal guardian and servant.”
The silver-haired wizard pressed a kiss on the back of Bai Lixin’s hand in the most reverent gesture, saying, “From this day forward, I am your most devoted servant, master.”
Bai Lixin raised an eyebrow and coughed lightly. “Can you say that again?”
Dijia: “Master.”
Bai Lixin: “No, be more affectionate.”
“My dear master,” said Dijia, “is that all right?”
Bai Lixin nodded in satisfaction, “Not bad, not bad, it’s great.”
I didn’t get this old attacker as a servant in vain!

[Hahaha. God Xin: I never thought that one day I could be the master.]
[So this copy is going to be a master and servant play?]
[And it’s a serious servant gong vs. a young master shou, tsk tsk, this is really fragrant!]
[Sure enough, God Xin and the big boss never let us down.]
[Damn, I’ve already made up a bunch of colorful images.]
[Like what?]
[For example, imagine God Xin stripping naked and deliberately lying on the bed, saying, “I’m afraid of thunder; hug me, kiss me, stick to me, and thunder me.”]
[Or, the servant had long been in love with his master, but their statuses are different. One day, he suddenly sees God Xin and someone else hooking up, and in a moment of anger, he pins the young master to the bed in a fit of rage, shouting “master, master” as he does so.]
[Fuck… brother, that is the beginning of one bloody book, requesting to have an off-site link ah. You should pass your ideas on to God Xin! Tell him to act accordingly, I want to see it!!!]
[I want to see it too! Sure enough, God Xin’s live broadcast room has never let me down, hahaha.]

“Alas,” the silver-haired wizard looked up at Bai Lixin, “it is a pity that our master-servant fate is shallow, I can only serve you for two days.”
“In two days, your curse will take effect.”
“But don’t worry, I will serve you well. Do you have any unfulfilled wishes? I will do everything I can to help you.”
Bai Lixin: “???”
What did you say? Say that again? How many days do you think I have left to live?
The corner of Bai Lixin’s mouth twitched, “Well, didn’t you cast the curse? You don’t have to let me die, do you? Why don’t you just remove the curse?”
Dijia sighed, “Because I was afraid that the evil seed would escape, the curse I cast was of the highest specification, and there is no way to lift it.”
“I didn’t think it would be you who would end up aggrieved. I’m sorry, master.”
Bai Lixin: “……”
Damn it!

On the 999th level, the man’s eyes were tinged with a smile.
He gently hooked his fingers towards his back, and many thin green vines quickly emerged from the empty pot.
As the man’s fingers danced, the vines began to fly towards his hand as if they had a life.
Soon, the vines wrapped around a pearl necklace.
The thick, dark green color curled around the pearls, easily encasing them firmly with nowhere to escape.
After playing with it for a while, the man stood up and walked into the bedroom with the pearl necklace in his hand.
The system’s voice rang out from overhead.
[Are you going to sleep again, my Lord?]
Man: “Yes, I’m a little sleepy.”
System: [Then why don’t I turn off the live stream for you?]
The man stopped the system from doing so, saying, “No need; listening to the sound helps me sleep.”
System: [Okay, then, good night, my Lord.]
The man looked towards the corner of the screen for a while and slowly closed his eyes, saying, “Well, good night.”

Bai Lixin stumbled over his words, “So…so there’s no other way?”
“Like, say, fighting poison with poison or something? Why don’t you think about it again?”
The silver-haired wizard looked at Bai Lixin through the glasses. He thought hard, then said somewhat hesitantly, “There is one way.”
Bai Lixin: “What way?”
Silver-haired Dijia: “Originally, the curse was supposed to be insoluble.”
“But eighteen years ago, the three worlds fused. After the fusion, although the curse is insoluble in our world, there is a way for those in the other worlds to lift it.”
“In the deep water, there lived a sea monster. That sea monster is very good at casting curses, and if it is him, he should be able to lift the curse on you.”
A sea monster?
Bai Lixin looked at the silver-haired wizard and then at the lake outside, and a very absurd idea suddenly flashed through his mind.
He huffed, “So this sea monster is at ……”
Silver-haired wizard: “Well, you’ve seen it. It was in the lake just now. It seems to have malicious intent towards you, and without my intervention, it would have eaten you up by now.”
“That’s why I don’t recommend using this method.”
Bai Lixin: “……”
