Chun was startled, "Retreat to the bat first!"

Chun had taken a class with Vivian, deeply understanding that only those on the "same channel" are easy to notice each other; thus, only nightmares can easily detect nightmares. If Mina finds the other party strong, it means the other party might also notice Mina.

After retreating, Chun was puzzled, "Could a strong nightmare come from Oak City?"

Bilenna said, "That possibility can't be ruled out. Currently, Black Iron City actually has no Guardian God. The Guardian God Council is a joke, which undoubtedly gives various Evil Gods and other forces the opportunity to intervene."

Indeed, the target of the Dark Remia is to establish an Evil God Gang!

Chun exclaimed, "I returned to Black Iron City the night before yesterday, and there wasn't such a phenomenon, was it just good luck that I didn't encounter it, or did I trigger something that caused the nightmares from Oak City to act?"

Bilenna chuckled, "The Andariel in the dream realm of the Astrology Old Lady was defeated, and Bapeng Baron's Mammon was defeated. Does this not count as triggering something?"

Chun sweatily said, "So various Shadow Demons and nightmares all took action! And now that we defeated a Shadow Demon, things are even more chaotic!"

Bilenna sighed, "It's indeed too chaotic. For safety, it's better to teleport back."

Oh, do I seem like the type to prioritize safety?

Watch me prove it right!

Mina, however, said, "I think if a nightmare stronger than me comes out to act, it will definitely look for a very high-value target. This target—if it were me, I would definitely choose the earlier Amy—young, weak, high status, and famous! So she might also be the reason for the nightmare's appearance."

Bilenna was shocked, "Amy is in danger!"

Chun was even more shocked, "The Dark Soul Witch is just a residual soul and can't possibly protect her, right?"

Mina was very puzzled, "From what I know of the Dark Soul Witch, she is very low-profile. If she's guiding little Amy, she shouldn't be flamboyantly attracting people to watch her dance in the streets. It feels like a deliberate move to attract the attention of a nightmare."

Chun was shocked, "Could she already be possessed by a nightmare?"

Mina said, "That shouldn't be possible either; possession by a nightmare is like a thief who just stole something, they shouldn't be so ostentatious."

Chun thought of a solution, "We can't wait for her to return to the Count's Mansion. While she's still out playing, we should contact Vivian immediately and have Vivian invite her to a restaurant to dine, then find an opportunity to ask her."

Bilenna agreed deeply, "Alright then, I'll transform into a human form—"

Chun remembered something, "Wait—you're the creditor, too famous, suddenly appearing in the city is too suspicious."

Not to mention that the Ten Lords have been monitoring Southern Canyon Village all along. For Bilenna to suddenly avoid their surveillance and appear in the city is even more suspicious.

Bilenna couldn't wait, "I'll go straight down the chimney and call her in the back hall."

Bats going through chimneys!?

Chun was startled, "The kitchen is burning below, there's fire!"

Bilenna said solemnly, "Earlier it was Mina who sniffed the scent of nightmares on the rooftop. It is not ruled out that there are traces of nightmare activity at the back window too, and it is even uncertain how many nightmares are in the whole city, but it is certain that they would definitely not enter a blazing chimney. So this erases traces of our actions, and by the way, I want to try out my newly acquired Power of Desolation, to see if it can resist fire."

Chun sighed, "Alright, then the chimney it is."

Thus, Bilenna quietly flew into the chimney as thick smoke and flames roared up. A withered yellow light flashed on the bat, forming an energy shield—but the next moment, the shield exploded like a spark meeting gasoline, dry wood meeting a roaring fire!

Bilenna's consciousness space seemed to resonate, sky fire illuminating the Azure Sky!

Holy Shit!?

Then there was a bang as if the bread oven was blown out. The whole kitchen was a scene of smoke and dust.

In that very instant, Bilenna quickly retracted the Power of Desolation, dashed out of the oven, and hid in the stairway leading to the second floor amid the chaos of smoke and noise.

Below was a soundscape of chaotic kitchen noises.

Chun was completely dumbfounded, "Bilenna, is the Power of Desolation this flammable?"

Bilenna was totally stunned, "It feels just like burning fields..."

Holy Shit! The weakness of the Power of Desolation is just too obvious, and this was just a common oven fire. How would it stand against a mage's Large Fireball Technique?

There was no time to think further. Vivian ran from the front hall, "What's going on?"

Bilenna had already turned into a human form and shouted from the stairs on the second floor, "Miss Vivian, come up here!"

Vivian covered her mouth and nose and stomped upstairs angrily, "What is it—?"

Then froze, "You are—"

Chun was also stunned; indeed, Vivian had never seen Bilenna!

Vivian quickly snapped back to her senses, "Could it be that you are from Southern Canyon Village—"

Bilenna shushed, "Let's talk slowly!"

Vivian immediately understood, "This way, please."

Ah, Vivian is truly a master of information; even without meeting her, she recognizes her, and even knows about Bilenna's relationship with me. Well, it's known worldwide.

Thus, the two entered a guest room.

Bilenna spoke directly, "I suspect a nightmare has targeted my student Amy. Miss Vivian, do you have any way to help?"

Vivian's eyebrows jumped, "Nightmare? This... In the past two days, I indeed have been reading books about dreams, but I'm not yet at the level of dealing with nightmares."

Bilenna asked, "Then, Miss Vivian, could you invite her to the store as a guest? I find it inconvenient to appear in person and can't tell her it's at my invitation."

Vivian was surprised, "Well... I can ask a staff member to invite her, but now she is esteemed as the Minister of Dance and Music of the Count's Mansion; I might not be able to invite her."

Bilenna sighed, "It's my fault. I should have instructed her to connect with Miss Vivian upon graduation. But then again, I was worried my identity as a creditor might trouble Miss Vivian."

Vivian smiled, "I'll still give it a try."

She then raised a contraption resembling an alarm clock in the guest room and transmitted a message, "Clean up the kitchen right away. Xiaowu and Xiaoliu, go to the street and invite Miss Amy to come as a guest..."

"Roger!"

With the instructions given, Vivian then asked, "Miss Bilenna, could you tell me about the nightmare?"

...

Meanwhile, the Peeping Immortal was unutterably vexed. Since playing the game in the morning, he had been accompanying this Amy until evening, getting nothing done, and not daring to appear impatient. He could only pin his hopes on pleasing her well.

Just then, the surveillance team from the Night Rose Tavern reported, "Leader, the bakery oven in the tavern's back kitchen suddenly exploded and smoked up."

The Peeping Immortal was momentarily stunned, "Is it serious?"

"It's still being handled, the drinkers at the front are mocking."

The bread oven exploded; that baguette baker is a complete waste!

The Peeping Immortal recalled previously speaking to Vivian for information but failing to afford the 1000 coin fee resulting in decreased favorability. How about taking Amy to her shop for some fun? With Amy now almost as famous as the City Beauty, visiting Vivian's store will boost its reputation, restore the situation of the oven explosion being mocked, and make Vivian very happy, instantly boosting favorability.
