Li Xin still used Route Eleven to reach that place known to be unfit for men, with a very luxurious and distinctive entrance, carved railings, jade structures, a long ladder leading inside, giving an impression of being out of reach. You could vaguely hear singing and laughter inside.

Bah, what kind of people are these, not doing proper work in broad daylight, he patted his pockets and left.

Since ancient times, no matter where you come from, such places have always been money pits, and he was already bankrupt.

Simmons informed Li Xin about the bounty as soon as he received it, and Li Xin didn’t want to delay. It’s better to get treatment early, so he instructed the Immortal to first go to Hedan, collect the bounty and mask, then head to Five Claw Island to exchange Mr. Taurus for the Tears of Death, and finally return with the Tears and mask to hand them over to him.

The Immortal charged him three gold.

This winter in Dragon Capital was particularly cold, even leaving his warm little stash completely empty. The few coins in his pocket were his living expenses for a long time to come. As he looked at the Yi Xuan building, Li Xin almost considered working there.

Hedan Royal City.

Simmons, looking at the shy and rosy-faced maid with big watery eyes, was embarrassed beyond words. The mask he wore had side effects; even after taking it off, it still left some subconscious mimic gestures. As the maid passed, Simmons instinctively tapped her bottom.

If the maid had timidly run away, it would be nothing, but the key was she stared at him stupidly, waiting for the next move, leaving Simmons with no choice but to flee.

Hiding in the bathroom, Simmons pondered how to explain it. He realized he should be more restrained and wait until the after-effects of the Secret Item fully dissipate. Just as he was about to lower his pants, his hands stiffened, his bladder retreated, and the enormous Immortal slowly emerged, its ghostly eyes made Simmons wonder if he could ever pee again.

Envying Brother Li’s Messenger once again, Simmons hurried back to business. Upon returning to the room, the maid was already gone.

Simmons handed 50 gold and the mask to the Immortal, who glanced silently at Simmons before his enormous figure slowly dissipated.

Seeing the Immortal completely disappear, no longer perceiving its presence, Simmons let out a sigh of relief; the Immortal had brought him immense pressure, perhaps still leaving behind some psychological shadows from before. Brother Li... really impressive.

Looking at the empty window outside, "Could Brother Li be short of money?" Simmons murmured to himself.

"Impossible, how insulting, he’s just giving himself burden-free opportunities through this method," Simmons lightly slapped his face. "This is the bond between brothers."

This level of Messenger is something he dares not even dream of. Even if he became an Angel himself, it would be impossible. Alas, no comparison, no comparison, yet a Messenger is needed, need to hurry up; how can a dignified Duke’s Mansion function without a Secret Messenger? Father pays no attention, all hears about freeloaders, how are there those depending on youngsters?

Simmons still had some expectations for the Messenger, not needing overly exaggerated ones, just a handsome and capable one, at least not being scared to the point of urinating by Brother Li’s Messenger.

Returning home, Lin Fei and Xueyin were back, dinner was also ready.

"Wow, seems, Aunt Fei, is there anything joyful going on?"

Judging by Lin Fei’s radiant look, something good surely happened.

"Ah Xin, your beauty contest plan seems quite good, not bad, somewhat clever." Xueyin said crunching while eating.

Bang~~

"Mom, don’t hit the head, it will make you dumb!" 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

"I think you’re getting too clever, go prepare the school clothes for tomorrow, check and place your homework properly, check if you’ve packed all necessary items in the backpack, and clean the water bottle to put in the bag!"

"Alright, alright, noted, just want to have a quiet word with Ah Xin." Echo pouted going upstairs, making faces at Li Xin.

"Is the little girl behaving at the newspaper, not causing trouble?" Li Xin laughed.

"She really likes new things; I think maybe she’s not cut out for academic studies." Lin Fei sighed, ever since coming to Dragon Capital, Xueyin’s grades remained average.

"The Grace Class is not only about studying; it’s also life experience. As for her specialties, try exploring more."

Lin Fei nodded, "These days, the beauty contest’s promotion effect at the Canon Law School has been very good, with enthusiastic sign-ups, just as you said; compared to the outside world’s conservativeness, the school’s students are very interested in such novel and challenging activities, the men even more so than the women."

"Haha, that’s quite usual; when it comes to beauty contests, men’s enthusiasm doesn’t need mobilizing at all."

"You know so much, but you’re no different from bringing a girl home; the neighbor’s child is about your age, and they’re already old enough to buy soy sauce." Lin Fei said.

"Cough, cough, can’t be the same, I’m more of quality over quantity, alright, alright, won’t be without prospects." Li Xin laughed; seems Aunt Fei is still not busy enough.

"Next week the newspaper will begin the preliminaries centered around the beauty contest."

"Very good, don’t rush, take it round by round, extend the duration; this will increase everyone’s participation and allow them more time to understand the girls better, beyond looks, specialties should also be included; our Dragon Capital girls are both beautiful and talented, nurturing both inside and outside."

Lin Fei nodded, "Yes, I always felt something was missing; as soon as you said it, it reminded me right away. First, use Hex photos for the initial screening, next step is showcasing their characteristics and talents for further understanding, making a comprehensive evaluation."

"Vice Editor Lin becoming the Editor-in-Chief is just around the corner." Li Xin’s flattery came effortlessly.

Lin Fei pinched Li Xin’s cheek, "You sure know how to talk, go check on Xueyin if she’s ready, she likes procrastinating, if done, come down to prepare for dinner."

"Okay, Chief Editor."

Li Xin dare not resist, first sweet-talking, almost succeeding at the beauty contest; Aunt Fei’s influence will undoubtedly increase, the newspaper will be profitable too. This is the time to introduce the Utopia Mountain feud narrative, it will definitely save his dire financial situation.

Thinking of this, Li Xin felt a bit delighted; tonight, he needed to work overtime a bit, sometimes also thinking, if only he could evolve an ability where the typewriter moves by itself,... if it could be chosen, wouldn’t turning stone into gold be even better?

After dinner, Li Xin returned to his room to write; Lin Fei, having settled Xueyin, was also working late; some data and feedback from the Canon Law School needed timely sorting and pondering to cope with changes, several key questions needed discussing in Monday’s meeting. For this beauty contest plan, she was fully committed, not only for success but also aiming through this event to make women more beautiful and independent.

The greatest contribution of the Grand Governor Luthor back in the day was the liberation of thoughts.
