Golden Fox with System

"Look how beautiful they are."

"He looked at me!"

"Of course not, he looked at me!"

"They are a heavenly couple."

"Yes, they certainly are."

"Can we take a picture of them?"

"Don't do that, don't you see that the two are on a romantic date? We mustn't disturb them."

"Yes, you're right, forget what I said..."

Yuki and Theo could hear the murmurs of people, animals, Demi-Humans... It was difficult to ignore since they were looking so intensely at both of them.

Although it is a little uncomfortable to eat like this, Theo and Yuki started talking to each other.

"Theo, your first singing video has already reached 1 billion views. Isn't that incredible?" Yuki smiled as she said.

Theo finished savoring the ice cream that was in his mouth. "Yes, that surprised me a lot when I saw it."

"It's a pity that I had to exclude your name, but it cannot be helped, as it may cause problems in the future." Yuki knew from Theo the risk that she had to leave his name out of the video.

There is a device that is destroyed when the owner dies. If in case the owner of the device was killed by someone, the device has a unique function which is to get the real name of whoever killed it. It sounds simple, but it isn't.

This is even more sophisticated and rare than the device that sees the last moments of the person's death, since whoever killed it may be in disguise.

Theo tells Yuki, "Let's go."

Seeing that they had stayed for a long time and other girls from the orphanage came to help Karen, Theo saw no reason to stay.

"Yes." Yuki agrees and they say goodbye to the girls at the orphanage.

As they walked, many buildings and shops could be seen.

It was amazing how fast they can build something using mana. Even in such a short time, the city already had buildings of more than 20 floors.

Especially the places where some clans were and had higher cultivation, could build things much more easily.

The monkey clan of the old Ang Village made an incredible fortune. Being proficient with earth mana and having nimble hands, made them one of the best in architecture. They were able to make a ton of money from the larger clans by building for them.

Yuki questions, "Do you think Yui is having fun with Mizuki?"

"I can find out if you want to," Theo replies.

It was very easy for him to monitor all the people in the city, even Mizuki, who had high cultivation, thanks to <Formation of the six Noble Spirits>.

"No need, I was just curious." She says.

"I understand." Theo adds, "You know that Yui loves you very much, right?"

"Yes, I know that. That's not why I asked, my..." Yuki sighed. ????n????????????а????. ????????????

"Okay then. I'll pretend to believe it~" Theo laughed.

She rests her head on his shoulder at the moment and says quietly, "Idiot..."

Theo just smiles in response and keeps walking.

It was a long walk; they had already walked around the entire trade center and were almost out of the part where most of the people gathered.

"Let's go back?" Theo asked.

"Yes, let's go." She agreed and they turned around and started to head back.

They walked back slowly, so it did take them a while to get back to the mansion. It was already close to noon and Shina had made lunch.

Little Yui, Little Emma, and Mizuki had already returned as well.

"Shina, your food is great, without a doubt it's the best I've ever eaten." Mizuki praises with a smile.

"Thank you... I'm glad you liked it." Shina says shyly.

Although she is used to receiving praise from Theo, Yuki, and girls, she was still embarrassed to be praised by someone else. Even a little flustered, she was still happy.

In the afternoon, Theo went to the Workshop. Standing in the other room of the Workshop, Theo removed the corpse of the Spiritual Realm from his [Storage Ring].

'<Devour>!'

The moment he used <Devour>, there was no change in the number of cells filled since he used [Blood Essence Nutrition] and the amount needed to fill the cells has increased.

The moment the essence of energy started to spread through Theo's body. He sat with his legs crossed and started to meditate.

Because he was receiving the essence of spiritual energy, Theo frowned and gritted his teeth when he felt very strong pain that spread throughout his body.

Unlike a spiritual being, Theo has not yet reached that level, so his body was not yet prepared for this type of energy and needed to convert it to mana. However, this was a painful and arduous process.

For example: for a being to be able to enter the ranks of the Spiritual Kingdom, it requires that the cultivator understands the spiritual energy in his body.

Each person understands the energy differently, but this doesn't make it impossible. The "easiest" way is to get a Noble Spirit, With the auxiliary help of the Noble Spirit, understand spiritual energy.

However, as this person's own understanding of spiritual energy rises, they would officially break into the Spiritual Realm.

It can be said that, even if a little, now that Theo was going through the whole process inside his body of converting the essence of spiritual energy, to mana energy, he started to understand some of the spiritual energy.

Cracking bones and rebuilding resonated, along with Theo's horrifying cries of immense pain. Luckily his internal organs were being protected by <Flaming Dragon Furnace>. The great vitality that Theo also has, was helping in the process.

Although he is in a lot of pain, Theo was fascinated enough to convert spiritual energy into mana energy. It was a more pure and dense energy.

Sometimes Theo was unable to convert the spiritual energy in his body in time, and because of that, his flesh was torn, leaving the organs and bones exposed.

'This... this is worse than I imagined...' Theo said strongly in his heart.

Even when he devoured Jordan Wiz, who was a False Spiritualist, he had help from the girls to help get through it, as it was too much for him alone.

Now that he thinks about it, he understands something, at the same time he doesn't understand. If that's what it looks like, then wouldn't he be able to get help from the girls at times like this?

When the essence of energy that started to gush out, Theo stopped feeling so much pain. He did not relax though and continued to meditate and convert the spiritual energy.

Theo's body was completely drenched with sweat and a bad odor from the impurities; He was stinking more than being sprayed by a skunk.

Theo opened his eyes and caught his breath and started using <Clean> on his body several times and on the floor where he had been meditating.

"Sigh ~"

Theo thought after letting out a long sigh: 'There is still a way to go to the Spiritual Realm... But I feel it won't be long.'
