After taking a deep breath, Li Ming continued, "At first those dreams were not clear. Other than those uneasy feelings I couldn't remember anything about the dreams but then that day in the Xiao Tiantang when I was refining pills with Mallow and suddenly something tried to enter into the Godly Maple Tree, I felt the same dark presence there."

Li Ming heard loud gasps from her audience. With a break of a few seconds, she once again continued, "That energy was probably not able to enter into the Xiao Tiantang but they left behind that note like thing. Unfortunately, that note got destroyed. By the time I returned back the next morning, all the traces of the previous night incident has evaporated into nothing. I tried to find out more about what exactly happened that night, but there was not much for me to do."

The place quieted down as everyone was busy in their deep thoughts.

"Did your dreams stop?" Mallow finally asked after a few minutes.

The others also looked at Li Ming curiously as the later shook her head in negative.

"Nope. Rather than stopping they increased after that incident. As the days passed I started remembering some of the scenes of those dreams but nothing ever made any sense."

" Until that night a few days ago when I suddenly ended up in a completely different dimension. It was only black and white, full of decaying smell. There was even a hint of sulfur in the air. And the worst in there was a three-headed monster who appeared out of nowhere. Before much could happen, or before I could find anything about that place, I was back in my bed, completely fine. But I'm sure that the same dark energy was also present there."

"Woah, are you saying that you got teleported into a different dimension in your dreams and then you were back here when you opened your eyes? Is that even possible?" Terra asked with a surprised tone.

The little pixie's words made Li Ming chuckled, "At this point, anything is possible sweetheart. Magic has no boundaries, it's just we still have to explore it to it's fullest. I think the same could be said about the spiritual cultivation and the secrets of this world."

Everyone nodded their heads at Li Ming's words. Indeed, after coming to this new world and finding more and more secrets that sounded impossible to be believed, now it was hard to say what was possible and what was not.

Who knew if after some days, months, or years, they would find out that this new world also held the secret power which could turn a dead into a living person.

On the other hand, even though there was such an important discussion going on but Hei Long's mind was stick on only one word, sweetheart.

For some unknown reason, he wanted to listen to the girl calling him that, but again he felt disgusted by his own thoughts.

Why his mind got stuck on that particular word was beyond his understanding. But he didn't like to see her using that word so casually for random people.

The most confusing thing that he realized was that after getting to know the girl in the last weeks and listening to her talk with her friends, sometimes it appeared like she didn't belong to their world.

As if she had been sent in the Immortal world from another beautiful world which was quite identical to the three realms of the Immortal world but also different.

He had found out about her past through his shadow guards who did their best to find more information about Li Ming, but other than her journey of the last six months, they were unable to find out about anything.

It was like one day she appeared out of nowhere and started living a completely new life in the Han Empire.

There were far too many secrets that Hei Long still had to unveil about his sweet prey. He's just waiting for the right chance.

He checked the situation of the auction that was still ongoing in the outside world. It had been barely twenty minutes since the incident of the dark mist in the auction house and in the meantime, not much had happened in the auction.

The total of seven items that had been auctioned off so far was nothing much in his eyes.

Though he didn't confess it, but the reason behind him sticking with the Heaven Emperor to join him in the auction house was due to the pull that he too was feeling towards that place from the previous morning.

All that came to his mind was that the auction house would probably be going to auction off something important and that's why his instincts were telling him to attend the auction.

What he didn't prepare for was to come across the lilac girl, the young lady who had become a haunting spirit in his life.

"That three-headed monster, was it a Cerberus?" Snowy asked Li Ming. His eyes sparkling with curiosity. And why not? After all, not everyone could get the chance to see the hounds of Hades.

Li Ming looked at Snowy and after a second shook her head in negative.

The spark in Snowy's eyes immediately died as he once again started thinking about the current case.

"It was more like a wolf than a dog. Not exactly a wolf, but if I have to compare it with a real-life animal then I'll definitely choose a wolf. Moreover, just like I said it was a world built with a black and white theme, I was not able to see much of its body in the dark." Li Ming told everyone.

Her eyes slowly looked towards the oak tree where she could feel the presence of the Demon Prince and within a second, she was again looking at the group of sups sitting in front of her.

"I was too busy with all the work that I didn't get a chance to visit the Demon Realm again, but I have a feeling that I can find many answers about the black mist and my dreams there. I was planning to visit it a few days after this auction. However, I didn't expect that dark power to suddenly appear in the auction house." Li Ming told them as she lightly rubbed her temples.

"What about today? Did you find anything important?" Mallow asked.

Her question made everyone straightened up as they looked at Li Ming, waiting for her reply.

Hei Long also put his complete focus on the young girl.

Was his doubt right? Did that evil mist appear in the auction house of the capital city of the Wang Empire to attack the lilac girl?

He felt his anger rising as his qi tried to break out and finish whatever or whoever was trying to harm his lilac girl.

For a moment, he couldn't recognize his own self as all his heart, soul, and most of the mind was thinking about destroying the enemies of his sweet prey.

It took him a few seconds to get a hold on himself as he heard the girl replying.

"The dark energy that entered into the auction house was too weak. It was like someone intentionally send only a lightest essence of it for some purpose. I couldn't catch it but for the few seconds where I got my hold on it, I saw some vague images. Like it was trying to find someone in the auction house."

After a break of merely two seconds she continued, "What I saw was very blurry. I couldn't make out the face of that person but I got the slightest glimpse of their getup and aura. I think I will be able to recognize that person if they came in front of my eyes."

A frown appeared on Hei Long's beautiful face as he heard Li Ming's reply.

According to her, the dark power was looking for someone else, but who?

"What do you think? That mysterious person for whom the dark mist was searching, are they a target or a companion?"

Hei Long heard the little furball asking the question to his Master.

"Looking at the aura of that person, it was full of positivity and righteousness, is it even possible for someone like that to be a partner of something so dark?" Li Ming asked out loud as she looked at the pixies and the two furballs in front of her.

In return of her question, she received a raised eyebrow from the blonde.

Li Ming rolled her eyes as she replied, "Fine! Fine! Anything is possible when it comes to this world and the word magic."

This made everyone chuckle softly. The light bickering environment between Li Ming and Terra had always been a medium of entertainment for everyone.

Though the environment cooled down a little at the sweet chuckles, the seriousness of the situation still could not be ignored.
