Chapter 131
The elders of various organizations received the message and began to inundate Cobalt Strike
Elders with queries. "Is vin truly a servant? An apprentice just a year ago? What was Cobalt
Strike thinking?"
Elders like Marthew were both embarrassed and annoyed. They muddled through with vague
answers and, upon return, gave Adirich and the others a severe reprimand. They had been gently
reminded not to mention vin''s servitude, but now, before the championship even started, rumors
were already swirling. It must have been Adirich and those otherds spreading the word on
purpose, to shame vin.
vin, however, was nonchnt about the whole affair. The moment he stepped into the citadel of
Warriors'' Vale, he had no intention of hiding any longer. He was there to make a name for himself,
after all. The more renowned he became, the greater the chance of winning freedom for his kin in
the future.
"Is vin here? I am a Floral Enchantress'' Protégé. We have arranged a feast at the Four Seas
Tower in the inner city and wish to invite vin to attend."
"Is Roald around? I am a Ster Precepts'' Protégé. Would you care to join us for a gathering?"
"And who might Mari be? Heh, I am a Hidden Essence''s Protégé, Julris. Might I have the honor
of yourpany for a stroll?"
That evening, Protégés from various organizations came to invite vin, Mari, and others to
their feasts.
Such banquets weremon before a championship, a chance for people to meet, familiarize
themselves with each other, and casually probe into each other''s secrets.
The number of peopleing to invite members of Cobalt Strike was unusually high today, driven
mainly by a curiosity about vin, the stage VIII ''servant.''
Others invited vin too, but he declined them all with the excuse of ''still being confined.''
Deep into the night, when all was quiet, vin sat cross-legged in his chamber, circting the
Restoration Mantra and absorbing the Restoration Aether from the world around him.
The citadel of Warriors'' Vale was a treasure trove, filled with vibrant energy and bursting with life,
rivaling even that of Cobalt Strike. This was to vin''s benefit, as his breaths drew in power,
spreading wide to attract Restoration Aether to his presence.

The Restoration Aether circted through his body, nourishing his spirit and tempering his
physique. The surging vitality in each cell was pulsating a wondrousfort.
vin reveled in the nourishment the Restoration Mantra provided, finding it indescribably
refreshing each time.
Suddenly, his eyebrows twitched, and his gaze shifted toward the window. Moonlight, cool and clear
as water, spilled through the window into the room. Zx
On the windowsilly a fluffy little fox, delicate and youthful. Its fur was pure white without a hint of
impurity, like a pristine snowball. Its eyes shone a vivid red, like two gleaming rubies, fixated on
vin, and its small ears twitched with curiosity.
"A Magi-Monster?" vin could sense something extraordinary about the little fox as its eyes were
brimming with intelligence.
The fox tilted its head, studying vin, and after a moment, it leaped from the sill into the room,
cautiously approaching before lightly bounding onto his bed, circling around, and lifting its head to
look at him. It was lively and adorable, showing no fear.
vin chuckled. This little creature was truly enchanting, a sight he never imagined could be so
pleasing.
The fox touched him as if urging something. "What?" vin was puzzled. What did this little one
want?
The fox exhaled a breath of white mist, pawing at the hem of his garment.
"This? Restoration Aether?" vin was surprised. The white breath from the little fox was rich and
pure Restoration Aether. Had it been attracted by the Restoration Mantra?
The fox even seemed to smile!
vin was startled. Had it smiled? As beautiful as it was, it somehow felt odd.
The fox hopped onto vin''sp, finding afortable position to curl up and blissfully close its
eyes.
vin continued to circte the Restoration Mantra, and the Restoration Aether grew active once
more, drawing in from the garden and swirling around his room.
The fox breathed evenly, smiling with eyes closed, seemingly enjoying the sensation greatly.
vin was both amused and curious; the little creature could sense the Restoration Aether. Whose
little fox was this?
Was it raised within the keep, or did it belong to a Protégé from one of the Eight Orders?
vin reached out to touch it, finding its fur fluffy, soft, and warm. The little foxfortably wriggled
and deliberately rubbed against his fingertips.
Hey, the little fox wasn''t shy around strangers? vin tapped its moist nose, and the fox gave a
grunt of discontent, casting him a re full of spirit.
vin stroked its soft fur, letting it nestle on hisp as he continued with the Restoration Mantra. It
was too adorable and seemed harmless.
But before long, vin opened his eyes again and turned toward the window. There stood a young
woman with a supple figure and alluring curves.
vin was startled and captivated. This woman... was truly stunning. Her attire was more than
scant; it was as minimal as possible, with bare arms and abdomen. Her bosom was tightly wrapped
in a sheer scarf, radiating seduction. Her lustrous ck hair cascaded freely, her creamy skin was
glowing, and her face looked exquisitely bewitching.
