"Master, why is their clothing all the same?"
Xia Feng was inside the room, etching the "Door to the World" Teleportation Array, while the Princess stood in front of the single-sided window, closely observing the bustling scene of the maids outside.
"Because they are maids, they must wear a uniform maid outfit," Xia Feng said without looking up.
"Maid, what is a maid?"
The Princess was like a child with a hundred thousand whys, asking Xia Feng over fifty questions in ten minutes.
Xia Feng, holding his forehead, stood up and tossed over his cellphone, briefly explaining how to use it before saying, "Search for any questions you have."
Yue Hongli had almost no memory or common sense, but some instinctive habits seemed to have remained, as she quickly became proficient at using the keyboard.
After searching, she nodded lightly and in a faint voice said, "The maid outfit, in the master-servant game, is a servant’s erotic uniform, which can greatly enhance the physiological desires and combat abilities of some uniform fetish Masters."
"?" Xia Feng’s hand paused in drawing the Array, and he looked up expressionlessly.
The Princess pondered for a moment, and then her majestic long gown shattered into Spiritual Light and reshaped into a black and white lace erotic maid outfit that barely covered over her voluptuous thighs.
The semi-transparent lace stockings cut into her flesh, her legs came together, and she touched the black collar around her slender neck, then raised her cold small face and calmly asked, "Master, can this enhance your combat ability?"
"!!!"
Xia Feng nearly choked on his own saliva and, holding his forehead, explained, "That combat ability is not the combat ability you’re thinking of."
The Princess nodded blandly and continued to look down and search: the interpretation of maid outfits in enhancing the Master’s combat ability.
Watching the erotic maid engrossed in typing rapidly on the cell phone, occasionally nodding as if understanding, Xia Feng let out a resigned sigh. It seemed he would need to find some time to properly train this Princess.
However, the Princess’s interruption made him suddenly remember something.
"Yue Hongli, do you still remember the first time we met?"
"I remember, I first saw the Master in a dream," the woman said, putting down the cell phone and speaking faintly.
"Why would we meet in a dream, though? You clearly hadn’t been born yet but were able to connect with the outside world through dreams. Could that also be one of your abilities?" Xia Feng asked, confused.
"That’s not it, Master."
The Princess shook her head and explained, "Prince once conducted a dream connection experiment with the help of Dream Evil, hoping to meet me directly in dreams, but due to the Imaginary River’s blockade, it was very difficult to break through, and so he only succeeded twice."
Xia Feng was stunned, still not understanding, "If he succeeded twice, then why hasn’t he been able to meet you?"
"Apocalypse," she said faintly. 𝔫𝔬𝖛𝖕𝔲𝖇.𝖈𝖔𝖒
"Oh?" Xia Feng’s interest was piqued. "Isn’t that Divine Authority sealed? Do you remember what its power is?"
"I don’t remember the specifics, but I can feel that the world is balanced. The increase in negative fortune often signifies a decrease in positive fortune, and that decreased positive fortune is absorbed and accumulated by me."
The Princess spoke impassively, "It must be that countless ages have allowed a vast accumulation of positive fortune on me, so I happened to escape from the Imaginary River, happened to realize some wishes that benefited me... And my greatest wish is immortality. This wish for immortality is rooted in my heart, so I suppose I would always manage to not die by chance. As for the loss of memory and common sense, it’s probably caused by surviving countless close calls..."
Xia Feng listened to her words, bewildered—what kind of bizarre ability was this?
That was way too heaven-defying, wasn’t it?! That meant, as long as the Princess didn’t wish to die, she would always survive due to various coincidences.
Wait a second! Xia Feng seemed to realize something and suddenly widened his eyes, "Can you control the positive fortune you’ve accumulated?"
The Princess shook her head, "I cannot, Master. I can feel that the Apocalypse is sealed. Except for the immortality which has a 100% chance, other events just have a higher probability of favoring me."
That was enough to delight Xia Feng! If the Princess was lucky, from a certain perspective, it meant he was lucky too.
What an unexpected boon—ah!
"Wait, that’s still not right," Xia Feng gathered his thoughts, "So what does this have to do with me meeting you?"
"The specific reason I don’t understand, but according to the mechanism of immortality and the master-recognition ceremony, following Prince would lead to my death. So, to prevent my death, Prince’s two dream connection attempts failed, but by chance, through an unknown coincidence, I connected to you, Master..."
Listening to the Princess’s explanation, Xia Feng nodded thoughtfully; so that was how those two strange dreams came about.
Because the Princess didn’t want to die, she couldn’t recognize Prince as her master. Hence, Prince happened to think of the method of meeting in dreams to directly claim ownership, and because of this, even with the stout resistance of the Imaginary River, he still succeeded twice by chance. But during those two successful attempts, he was unable to enter the dream by chance, and instead, the Princess happened into Xia Feng’s dream, by chance...
Okay, okay, you can play it like that, huh? Xia Feng felt he had truly seen the world today.
It seemed Prince was the real clown here, having prepared so hard only to make the wedding dress for Xia Feng, who felt almost embarrassed about it.
"But doesn’t this also mean that I’ll have a long life?" Xia Feng pondered as he looked at the Princess.
Hmm, not necessarily. He couldn’t let his guard down just because of the Princess’s immortality. After all, if he, her Master, died, the Princess would not die. The lives of the two weren’t bound together.
Seeing Xia Feng had no more questions, the Princess continued to type rapidly on the cell phone.
Soon, Xia Feng finished etching the Array.
"Stop studying, let’s go."
"Yes, Master."
The Princess transformed into a miniature vintage spear and fastened herself to Xia Feng’s waist.
The Array glowed brilliantly.

The fourth entry into the Evil Dragon Space.
The scenery was as ever.
"Ts-ts, so you’re still alive, huh?"
The Black Crow on the tree branch opened his eyes, speaking lazily and mockingly, "If you hadn’t come in, I would’ve thought you human brat got taken out by the Life Star God, huh~"
"Hehe~ You worry too much, Black Crow. I have just received an Apocalypse revelation, I’m going to live for ages~"
Xia Feng smiled as he walked closer.
"You—hmm? Wait a moment."
Black Crow stared at the spear by Xia Feng’s side, his slit pupils narrowing with surprise, "Interesting, you human brat, you’re not old, but every time you manage to surprise me~"
Flap flap flap—
Black Crow flapped his black wings and jumped off the branch, circling around Xia Feng before stopping above the spear. His pupils intense: "This particular Divine scent... Indeed, she once was... a Star God?!"
