Xi Nuo's skill in treating Demon Possession became increasingly proficient, and it wasn't long before Delta returned to her original state.
"Welcome to Shadow Garden. From today on, you shall be called Delta!"
Xi Nuo looked at Delta and said.
At the same time, a Slime Suit appeared on Delta.
"What is Shadow Garden? Can it be eaten?"
"You must be from the Beastkin race. You can think of Shadow Garden as another race!"
Xi Nuo grabbed Delta and flew directly into the air.
"Wow! I'm flying! Master is amazing!"
Xi Nuo noticed that Alpha was having trouble keeping up with his speed.
He stopped and went over to Alpha.
"Alpha, do you want to experience the feeling of flying?"
"Eh?"
Before Alpha could answer, Xi Nuo directly wrapped his arm around Alpha's waist.
He transformed his magic power into something like a thruster and flew directly into the sky.
He used magic power to create something resembling a hang glider, and with additional magical propulsion,
they successfully flew.
Alpha looked at the scenery below, experiencing the feeling of flying for the first time.
"Master, that's not fair! Why is she being held, and I'm being grabbed!"
Delta shouted.
Xi Nuo held Alpha by the waist because of their good relationship. As for Delta, since it was their first meeting, he still needed to maintain some distance.
"Then let's make it fair!"
Xi Nuo immediately let go of Delta. As Delta was in freefall, Xi Nuo caught up to her with even greater speed and wrapped his other arm around Delta's waist.
"Is Master a bird? He can fly so fast!"
Xi Nuo gathered his magic power into a fist and flicked Delta on the head.
"How could I be a bird? If you put it that way, you're also flying, so you're a bird too!"
"Then Delta is a bird!"
Xi Nuo regretted saying that.
"I am not a bird, and neither are you. I fly by relying on magic!"
"Then if we're not birds, how are we flying?"
Xi Nuo felt like he was talking to a brick wall.
Alpha carefully observed the ground below. Looking at the ground from the sky, Alpha felt completely lost.
In the sky, all the familiar landmarks had changed, making them unrecognizable.
Soon, the three returned to Shadow Garden's temporary base.
Beta and Gamma sensed Xi Nuo's arrival and all came out of the house.
"Let me introduce her. Her name is Delta now, and she will also be a member of Shadow Garden from now on!"
Delta scanned Beta and Gamma, instinctively feeling that neither of them was weaker than herself. She observed Alpha more closely and felt that she was even stronger.
But Delta would never admit defeat just because she met a strong opponent.
"Delta wants to be second in the race! Delta wants to challenge you!"
Delta pointed at Alpha.
Xi Nuo gave Delta a flick on the head.
"Master, why did you hit Delta!"
"Because you're too stupid, you're not suitable to be second!"
"Delta is not stupid!"
"Then what is 1+1?"
"I don't know!"
"Beta, what is 1+1?"
Beta was a little confused but still answered.
"2!"
"Gamma, what is 1+2?"
"3"
"Alpha, what is 1+3?"
"4"
"Delta, what is 1+4?"
"I don't know!"
"See? Delta is the stupidest!"
Delta thought for a moment. She really didn't know what 1+4 was.
"But Master, don't you have to be strong to be the leader of a race?"
"Strength is one aspect; intelligence is also needed. Perhaps your strength is decent, but if your intelligence isn't good, you can't be second. At most, I'll let you be fifth!"
"1, 2, 3, 4"
Delta counted the number of people present.
"There are four people? Why am I fifth?"
"Because you are the fifth person!"
"Delta is the lowest in rank!"
Delta looked very sad.
"Delta, I know you really want to prove yourself! So, you and Alpha fight! If you lose, just behave."
"Alpha, she's a bit wild and untamed. You fight her until she submits!"
Alpha looked at Delta and felt that Delta was indeed as Xi Nuo described. Not very smart, and wild and untamed.
"Okay!"
Delta and Alpha went to an open space.
"Start!"
Upon hearing Xi Nuo's words, Delta immediately went into berserk mode, dropping to all fours and charging at Alpha at full speed.
Alpha pulled out her slime sword.
"Clang, clang, clang!"
Alpha's sword and Delta's claws continuously clashed, making a sound like metal striking metal.
But the sound didn't last long before Alpha found Delta's weakness.
She struck Delta's stomach with her palm.
Delta flew directly backward.
Delta looked at the standing Alpha, instinctively mastering the magical slime on her body.
Besides covering some key areas, the rest of the Slime Suit transformed into magical claws.
The two once again became entangled in combat.
This time, with the magical slime claws formed by converging magic power, Delta's attacks were even more ferocious.
Alpha remained calm and unhurried, swinging her slime sword, perfectly blocking all attacks.
Suddenly, she spun around and delivered a roundhouse kick, sending Delta flying again.
Delta got up again and launched another attack.
The battle continued like this repeatedly until nightfall. Delta's magic power was completely exhausted, and her stamina reached its limit, eventually collapsing helplessly.
In contrast, Alpha was completely fine, still standing in her original spot, and had not moved from there the entire time.
At this moment, Beta walked over.
"Dinner is ready!"
"Food! I want to eat!"
Delta suddenly stood up.
The next second, she collapsed to the ground again.
Xi Nuo waved his hand, and blue-purple magic power sprinkled over Delta's body. She suddenly felt no longer tired, and both her magic power and stamina had partially recovered.
Currently, Beta was the one who cooked in Shadow Garden. Alpha was often out, and Gamma's physical coordination was too poor, so only Beta could cook.
Delta charged directly towards Beta, with no intention of stopping.
"Where's the food!"
Just as she was about to collide with Beta, Xi Nuo pulled Delta back.
"Delta must be obedient. Only if you're obedient will you get food!"
"Delta is obedient, very obedient!"
Delta sat on the ground, wagging her tail and panting with her tongue out.
"She looks like a dog!" Xi Nuo said.
"Delta is a wolf, not a dog!"
"It's close enough!"
Xi Nuo led Delta, Beta, and Alpha into the room.
Gamma was setting the table.
The five of them sat at the dining table like a family, eating.
As for Xi De, he was, of course, hunting bandits.
Each hunt brought Xi De a substantial amount of gold coins.
Accumulating little by little, Xi De would be able to afford some expensive works of art.
At night, Xi Nuo lay in bed, preparing to sleep.
Beta secretly crept in.
Beta no longer had nightmares when she slept, but she still wanted to sleep with Xi Nuo; she was just used to it.
Xi Nuo had also tacitly accepted Beta's habit of crawling into his bed every day.
As for himself sleeping here, Xi Nuo had already created a perfectly controllable magical clone for his home.
The clone was like his own arm; it could do whatever he wanted it to do, including eating and sleeping.
The people of Kageno Territory had no idea.
Of course, Xi De also followed suit, learning Xi Nuo's method and creating his own magical clone.
