  It was almost six in the morning when Mr. Fu sent Huang Baiyu out of his God Territory.

  Lin Huang, Bloody and Mr. Fu walked out of the God Territory right after that.

  Mr. Fu let out a long sigh upon seeing the sun that had just risen from the horizon far away. 鈥淚t鈥檚 the New Year. Ah, I can finally take a good rest.鈥?

  鈥淩est well, Master. I鈥檒l visit you at lunch with Xin Er,鈥?Lin Huang suggested.

  鈥淎lright then, I鈥檒l take a nap. I鈥檝e been really exhausted throughout these few days. It鈥檚 been over 800 years since I last drained my Divine Power like this,鈥?Mr. Fu confessed with a slight smile.

  Lin Huang glanced at Huang Baiyu. He carried him and walked towards Lin Xin鈥檚 compound next door with Bloody.

  As they departed, Mr. Fu lifted his head and looked at the sun far away. He smirked. 鈥淚t鈥檚 a new year!鈥?

  After watching them for a while, he then turned around and walked towards the loft behind him with his hands behind his back.

  Initially, Lin Huang thought he would be able to rest during the last few days at the end of the year. Never had he thought he would be dragged into being a slave and miss guarding the year with Lin Xin.

  She was still sleeping when they arrived at her compound. Lin Huang did not wake her. Instead, he put Huang Baiyu down in a small pavilion in the courtyard and sat on the stone stool.

  Bloody walked to the stone stool across him and sat down.

  鈥淛udging from Huang Baiyu鈥檚 conversion earlier, I think Virtual God rank-3 is the limit of the solution. If it were Virtual God rank-4, I鈥檓 afraid it鈥檇 be difficult even for Mr. Fu to detonate the Godhead,鈥?Lin Huang told Bloody.

  鈥淚t鈥檒l still work, but the controller might have to be a true god-level powerhouse when handling Virtual Gods above Virtual God rank-4.鈥?Bloody thought about and explained, 鈥淏ut, indeed, there are many uncertainties for Godheads that are obtained from other sources. It鈥檚 very hard to figure what oddity some Godheads might have before the process begins. Even the refiners themselves are unsure of the Godheads that they鈥檝e refined. Just like Huang Haoyang who underwent the conversion before Huang Baiyu, even he had no idea that he refined a Godhead with fire attribute.鈥?

  鈥淚 think if Mr. Fu really wants to make this into a business, it鈥檚 best not to take virtual god-level powerhouses in. He can only do it for demigods,鈥?Bloody could not help but suggest, 鈥淎fter all, the success rate is already so low. If he encounters those with problematic Godheads like Huang Haoyang鈥檚, death is almost guaranteed.鈥?

  鈥淚 was just thinking about that,鈥?Lin Huang responded, 鈥淚 really hope there are more virtual god-level powerhouses in this gravel world, and the more powerful they are, the better. However, the success rate is an issue. Also, the conversion is quite a burden to master. On the other hand, elevating demigods have a high success rate and it鈥檚 easier for him.鈥?

  鈥淲e can tell the people that we鈥檝e only found a way to elevate demigods to Virtual Gods, but we haven鈥檛 found a way to convert a Virtual God鈥檚 Godhead.鈥?Lin Huang came up with a plan.

  Since Lin Xin was still sleeping after speaking to Bloody, Lin Huang thought of bringing Bloody out of Dynasty鈥檚 headquarters. They went to the fat lady鈥檚 dumpling stall for breakfast.

  The fat lady and uncle were still the same, busy working in the stall.

  The fat uncle saw Lin Huang鈥檚 familiar face, so he greeted him with a wide grin immediately. The fat lady鈥檚 temptation to pry burned strongly when she saw Bloody.

  鈥淢aster Emperor, have you brought a girl to our dumpling stall today? This lady is so pretty! Master Emperor, I don鈥檛 mean to be offensive, but you should bring such a beautiful lady to a higher-end restaurant.鈥?

  鈥淎unty, your stall is pretty high-end. Look around you, which stall within 20 miles has a longer queue than yours every morning?鈥?Lin Huang teased.

  The uncle continued with a grin, 鈥淭hat鈥檚 right. What鈥檚 wrong with dumplings? Our dumplings are one-of-a-kind in Emperor City. How are we not a high-end restaurant?鈥?

  The lady narrowed her eyes until there were only two slits as she spoke, 鈥淎 man is always lying with his lips! The sweeter the things he says, the more you can鈥檛 believe him!鈥?

  Bloody simpered when she heard that comment. She began to understand that humans were animals who said things they did not mean.

  鈥淵ou can try their dumplings,鈥?Lin Huang recommended, 鈥淚f you don鈥檛 like them, their sticky rice cake is pretty delicious too.鈥?

  Lin Huang said that because Bloody used to only eat desserts whenever she was snacking. Her favorite food was sweets, and her second favorite was sugary drinks in all flavors as well as dessert. She was never interested in savory food such as dumplings.

  However, now that she had elevated to mythical-level, Lin Huang was not sure if her tastebuds had changed.

  Soon, the fat uncle brought two servings of dumplings.

  Bloody used her chopsticks to take a nibble out of one dumpling. She then put it down and shook her head.

  鈥淪eems like your tastebuds remain unchanged.鈥?Lin Huang smiled and called to the fat uncle, 鈥淯ncle, a serving of sticky rice cake, please!鈥?

  鈥淪ure, coming right up!鈥?

  The fat lady brought a small serving of four sticky rice cakes.

  Bloody sniffed it in confusion. Judging by the smell, it smelled sweet, but there was the aroma of sticky rice. She was unsure if it was appealing or not.

  She took a small bite of one with her chopsticks. The confusion on her face morphed into joy all of a sudden. She then picked up another sticky rice cake and shoved it into her mouth quickly.

  鈥淚t鈥檚 yummy, isn鈥檛 it?鈥?Lin Huang knew that she would like that.

  Bloody nodded enthusiastically immediately.

  When Lin Huang was done with half a serving of dumplings, Bloody had finished all four pieces of sticky rice cake. Lin Huang ordered another portion for her after noticing that.

  The uncle noticed this and could not help reminding, 鈥淥ur sticky rice cake is pretty filling. The most I can eat is two servings and I wouldn鈥檛 be able to have lunch later on. You guys can get a refund if you can鈥檛 finish. Don鈥檛 force it down.鈥?

  鈥淒on鈥檛 worry about it, Uncle. I鈥檒l pack it for lunch if we really can鈥檛 finish it,鈥?Lin Huang assured kindly.

  After the uncle left, Bloody finished another serving of sticky rice cake quickly.

  Before Lin Huang could finish the second serving of dumplings, Bloody had inhaled the third serving of sticky rice cake.

  Lin Huang raised his eyebrow when he realized that Bloody was looking at him in hunger. 鈥淒o you want more?鈥?

  Bloody nodded immediately.

  鈥淭hen, I鈥檒l order two more servings for take-away and get a serving of dumplings for Xin Er.鈥?

  Bloody鈥檚 take-away was ready when Lin Huang was finished eating.

  The duo then stood up and returned to Dynasty鈥檚 headquarters.?It was past seven in the morning when they were done with breakfast, and Lin Xin had just woken up when they arrived at the courtyard.

  鈥淲ash up now and have some breakfast.鈥?Lin Huang brought the dumplings that he had packed to the first floor and put it on the dining table.

  鈥淐oming!鈥?Lin Xin鈥檚 voice chimed from the second floor.

  Bloody unpacked the sticky rice cake right away and began munching away at the table.

  When Lin Xin got down, Bloody had finished the two servings of sticky rice cakes that she brought back.

  鈥淏rother, where did you go yesterday? I was guarding the year last night and I waited until 1 a.m. but I didn鈥檛 see you,鈥?Lin Xin asked as soon as she saw Lin Huang when she arrived downstairs after putting on her slippers.

  鈥淢aster dragged me to be his slave in the middle of the night. We were only done when it was almost six in the morning,鈥?Lin Huang explained with a comforting smile. 鈥淒on鈥檛 worry. It鈥檚 the first day of the New Year today. I鈥檒l guard the year with you tonight to remedy for last night.鈥?

  Lin Xin pouted when she heard his response, 鈥淲hat鈥檚 the point? Guarding the year means guarding the last day of the year and watching the New Year start. It doesn鈥檛 make sense to guard the year today.鈥?

  鈥淎lright, I鈥檒l do it tonight and bring you shopping tomorrow,鈥?Lin Huang extended his condition.

  鈥淣o, it has to be for three days!鈥?Lin Xin bargained.

  鈥淎lright, three days it is,鈥?Lin Huang agreed to that bitterly since he figured there should not be anything happening the next three days.
