Upon seeing Jiji's eyes, Angrit understood why his instinct had pestered him to run. Without a second thought, he dropped his weapon, spun around, and delivered a swift punch to Magna's gut, knocking him out cold. Without explaining why, he hoisted the unconscious brute over his shoulder and vanished into the night.
Jiji noticed a few escaping "rats" but ignored them, focusing on the remaining thugs. One by one, they locked eyes with at her, unknowingly sealing their fate. The petrification curse silently took hold, freezing their limbs and bodies as stone crept through their veins.
No pain.
No struggle.
Just a silent, peaceful death.
In monts, 20 bandits had been transford into statues, capturing the grim expression of their final monts. Satisfied that no more threats lingered, Jiji returned to the tent, zipped it closed, and gently lay down with Felix still on top of her. She embraced him, stroking his head and back.
Jiji glanced down, realizing they had beco disconnected due to the interruption. Fortunately, the plug was still hard because of her natural fluids. With a gentle motion, she reconnected them and closed her eyes, savoring the renewed intimacy and the warm mana radiating from his skin and his fluid within her.
"…A."
Her lower body convulsed, startled by a new batch of hot liquid. Jiji giggled and stroked the sleeping prince's head.

8 AM
"Hwuh!"
Felix yawned, rubbing his eyes before nuzzling his face into the soft warmth of Jiji's chest, inhaling the sweet scent of the lamia princess.
"Good morning, master," Jiji murmured, patting his head.
"Morning. How many tis so far? You keeping track?" Felix mumbled, referring to their ongoing "score."
"Which one? The nightti incidents or the 'Ritual' we've been doing morning and night?" Jiji teased with a grin.
The "Ritual" was what they had been doing every day for the past week. According to Jiji's explanation, it would help stabilize Felix's newly ford dantian foundation, speeding up his progress.
At first, Felix tried to convince himself he was still loyal to Jane, believing he hadn't truly moved on. But, as the saying goes, long-distance relationships rarely last, especially when an appealing alternative is right beside you.
One night, Jiji caught Felix trying to relieve stress on his own, so she offered her assistance, which he hesitated but eventually accepted. What started with just "hands" quickly escalated to "other things," until it escalated to the full "Ritual." Once that line was crossed, there was no going back.
As for the score, the initial estimate was around 100 tis, but they had long since lost count. The real number was far beyond that.
"Huh?" Felix raised an eyebrow. "Were we raided?"
"Yes, last night," Jiji replied calmly. "The thieves have been dealt with."
Felix quickly scrambled out of Jiji's embrace and rushed outside the tent. As he unzipped the entrance and stepped out, a row of petrified barbarians greeted him. Their faces were frozen in various expressions of shock and fear, each more disturbing than the last.
Taking in the scene, Felix shook his head with a wry smile, silently impressed by Jiji's handiwork.
*GROWL*
His stomach growled, demanding food, and his throat felt parched from the previous night's "activities." Felix grabbed a pack of twelve 1.5-liter water bottles, cracked one open, and downed a full liter in just three gulps.
anwhile, Jiji cleaned up the tent as usual. Once done, she joined Felix for their morning ritual—a magic rain shower, shared together in the fresh morning air.

…
Another convoluted task had landed in Felix's lap, but he simply shrugged—he was used to it by now. Intrigued by the ntion of a subspace permit, he imdiately browsed the system shop for it. After entering the search term, a black card icon appeared, revealing the item's perks.
First, the subspace permit functioned similarly to his system inventory, allowing him to store items, but instead of grid-based boxes, it offered an expansive empty land.
Second, living beings, including Felix himself, could enter the subspace. This opened up new possibilities—it could serve as a secret base or a safe hideout.
Third, the subspace ca with random natural resources like trees, creatures, minerals, mountains, or rivers. Depending on luck, he might get anything from flat grasslands to mountainous terrain.
And lastly, the most enticing feature: subspace permits were stackable. Felix could purchase multiple permits and combine them, giving him the creative freedom to shape a subspace world entirely under his control.
There were other minor perks, such as a dozen upgradeable options, but those were not what Felix was interested in. He was attracted to the creative freedom and the mineral resources within the realm.
Felix grinned, already imagining the possibilities. Felix glanced at the price tag and froze.
"..."
He shut his eyes, gritting his teeth. The quest was turning out to be far more difficult than it sounded, and his dreams of purchasing a secret land with his lifespan were crushed.
[Price - 1,000,000 Years of Lifespan]
It would take him ages to smoke enough to accumulate that much lifespan. And that wasn't even counting the upgrade options. He wondered how many years—and how many cartons of cigarettes—it would take to get that far.
Dejected, Felix slouched his shoulders. Looking for a distraction, he checked the items in his inventory next. That's when he rembered sothing he had forgotten during the journey—the corpse of Sean Smith.
Venting his frustration, he decided to dissect the body for any useful items.
*DING*
"...Huh?" Felix stared at the screen in disbelief, rereading the automatic ssages. He glanced at Jessica, who was floating on the system screen, and pointed to the ssage.
"Do you want to install this new AI or sothing?" he asked.
Jessica frowned, her expression darkening as she glared at the ssage.
