Chapter 445: Chapter 460: The Path to Becoming Stronger Chapter 445: Chapter 460: The Path to Becoming Stronger The remainder of the evening passed without incident–Lancelot, of course, would not take advantage of the situation, especially with little Isha at home.
The protection mentioned by Tijana referred to a large Illusion Technique. If someone stood outside the courtyard or flew overhead, they would see the yard overgrown with dense Razor Vine, leading any creature with pain receptors to subconsciously stay away. Naturally, if one was inside the courtyard, everything would appear completely normal.
In a town like Twin Bridges Town located in the Abyss, having a courtyard full of life was not a good thing. It could draw unwanted attention and bring about unexpected troubles. Even though she knew that Lancelot was capable enough to handle it, it was always better to confuse any passersby, whether they were intentional or not, with an illusion.
According to Tijana, unless one was a creature with True Sight, it was impossible for anyone to detect any flaws in her spell (unless someone stood there focusing intently for an hour). However, she needed to come over every day for the next seven days to cast the same spell, after which the illusion would take permanent effect. Naturally, Lancelot was secretly delighted by this, as the Succubus Lord was essentially creating reasons for them to meet.
After completing the spell, Tijana left because she indeed needed to rest. Although demons themselves do not require sleep, they can still use it as a method to rapidly restore their energy. Being a lord, she had a room in her own castle, heavily guarded by countless spells, traps, and magical items, allowing her a temporary loss of consciousness.
Over that night, their relationship seemed to have taken a significant step forward, yet it felt like nothing substantial had changed. However, Lancelot was already satisfied with the situation–they both knew each other’s feelings and confirmed that the feelings were mutual. Wasn’t this moment what made love so beautiful?
Regarding the hatred and mission mentioned by Tijana, Lancelot knew she was not deceiving him. Having been in the Abyss for so long and having seen dozens of Succubi–although all were charming in their own ways–even without any bias, Tijana was the one whose beauty was the most captivating.
Despite their fickle nature, nearly all Succubi are hedonists, always finding a way to live comfortably. A succubus of Tijana’s allure was unlikely to exert so much effort to build and manage a power without some special reasons.
This was not merely Lancelot’s own insight but also came from another succubus who invariably clashed with his nature.
Solving this was relatively simple, merely a matter of strength. Lancelot believed he would not remain in the Foundation Establishment Stage for too long. Once he became a Golden Core Cultivator, perhaps he could persuade Tijana to reveal her secrets.
However, increasing strength was not something to rush. It was a process of accumulating small amounts to build something larger. Thus, after seeing off Tijana and settling Isha back into her “coffin” in the underground tomb, Lancelot returned to his room to continue his daily cultivation, until the sunlight climbed up to his bedroom window.
Carefully storing away the drop of mysterious green liquid that hovered before him, Lancelot rose from the meditating bed, feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.
He opened his room door and found little Isha lethargically sprawled over the table, with a thick, heavy book in front of her. Hearing the sound of Lancelot’s footsteps, Isha immediately lifted her head, revealing a smile as brilliant as the sunlight outside.
“Good morning, brother!”
“You’ve been busy all night, thank you for your hard work,” Lancelot, while cultivating, could still sense his surroundings and knew that the little girl had been cleaning the corners they had missed during the day all night long, “You should rest now.”
“No need, I’m not sleepy yet,” little Issa stubbornly shook her head, “I need to adapt to the daylight environment as soon as possible. I can’t always come out only at night.”

“Is that so…” Lancelot stroked his chin, “I was just about to buy some things, do you want to come out with me for a stroll?”
“Yes, yes!” The little girl jumped up with a clap and hurried towards the basement, “I’ll go grab my cloak for going out!”
At the same time Issa left, Lancelot also prepared his gear. Although Twin Bridges Town was relatively safe compared to other parts of the Abyss, necessary precautions were still needed. However, he did not put on his full suit of plate armor, instead opting for a lightweight chain mail and a robe on top, concealing any anomalies from the outside.
A moment later, the little girl, wrapped snugly, appeared in front of him. As long as she was not directly exposed to sunlight, the little vampire could move around during the day with difficulty, but if a fight occurred, don’t expect her to be of any help.
In fact, if she could dive into the dimensional bag at Lancelot’s waist at the first sign of trouble, it would be a much bigger help in battle, and the two had already practiced that movement very proficiently.
Pushing open the door of the small building, the sunlight that broke into the room made Issa cringe involuntarily, but she was immediately captivated by the view before her: flowers in the garden were blooming under the sun, with the breeze gently passing through, swaying the blossoms like floating colors. It had been a long time since she had seen such a magnificent scene.
“It’s so beautiful…” Issa softly said, “It’s like home.”

“I will definitely get you back to your homeland,” Lancelot’s keen hearing didn’t miss the murmur of the little girl, “It won’t be too long, I promise.”
“We’ll see, my family probably thinks I’m already dead, and they might not want to see me as I am now,” Issa revealed a bitter smile, “Sorry to make you worry, brother, where are we going now?”
Lancelot did not pursue the topic further but simply patted the little girl’s head gently, “Let’s head to the marketplace first and see if we can find what I need, and you can look around for anything you might want as well.”
Lancelot wasn’t suddenly whimsical about shopping; he genuinely needed to find some special materials that could be used to set up formations. Unlike alchemy, formation doesn’t require specific materials to be performed; what’s important is the technique of setting them up. The materials need only meet certain criteria, such as containing the pure Power of the Five Elements, or possessing an extremely Yin and cold nature.
Master Han had also left detailed knowledge of formation techniques in the small bamboo slips. Previously, Lancelot had always found them too ‘magical’ to learn, but after last night’s events, he wouldn’t pass up any opportunity to strengthen himself.
