“Ms. Hargreaves, if I''m not mistaken, you never really enjoyed hot springs. Why do you suddenly take a
liking to it? Are you still thinking about Jared? You should give up. There''s no way he''ll evere
here,” Autumn remarked mischievously.
“What nonsense are you talking about, Autumn? I enjoy hot springs. It has nothing to do with Jared at
all.”
Despite her denial, Hailey found herself thinking of her first encounter with Jared as the hot spring''s
warmth enveloped her body.
The sight of Hailey daydreaming triggered a chuckle from Autumn.
When Autumn''sughter jolted her back to her senses, Hailey said, “Autumn, I have something to
discuss with you.”
“What is it? If it''s about leaving the secret realm to go to the mundane world, you can forget about it.”
Autumn nipped the idea in the bud.
“J-Just let me go there this one time. I heard my dad mention the revival of spiritual energy on Encanta
Ind. We can go there for a vacation!” Hailey suggested in an adorable tone, hoping to get Autumn to
relent.
“Forget it, Mr. Hargreaves has issued an order. Whoever takes you to the mundane world will be
executed. There''s no room for any discussion. Do you want me to be beheaded by Mr. Hargreaves?”
Autumn retorted.
Hailey shook her head reluctantly with a pout.
Meanwhile, a meeting was also going on in the nearby Waxing Crescent Castle.
Given that both buildings were in the same secret realm and located close to each other, both families
shared a close rtionship.
Moreover, the eldest son of the Lassen family of Waxing Crescent Castle, us, grew up together with
Hailey. Thus, both families intended for them to wed and form a marriage alliance that would
strengthen the families'' political influence in the secret realm.
However, they were now faced with the impending revival of spiritual energy. If spiritual energy was
fully restored, the prison-like secret realms would lose their advantage, causing numerous denizens to
move out of the realms into the mundane world.
As Waxing Crescent Castle was no exception, the purpose of the meeting was to discuss the issues of
Encanta Ind.
“Old Mr. Lassen, Violet Cloud Pce''s representative family in the mundane world has arrived at
Encanta Ind. The same can be said for other prestigious families. As for the other families in the
secret realms, I''m sure they have sent their men there, too. Encanta Ind is probably bursting at the
seams right now,” one of the higher-ups reported to Brad Lassen, the master of Waxing Crescent
Castle.
“A blood bath will ur even before the spiritual energy revival. Once it actually happens, it will turn the
world''s hierarchy of power upside down. Now that every family is trying to seize the initiative, it''s a
shame that our representative family in the mundane world is a failure. They only have one Greater
Martial Arts Marquis which is of no use at all,” Brad fumed.
Even though Waxing Crescent Castle had also groomed a representative family in the mundane world,
it was so weak that they would only end up being cannon fodder if sent to Encanta Ind.
“Dad, why don''t I lead a group of men to Encanta Ind? We can''t just allow the other prestigious
families to conquer it, can we? Besides, I''m sure the ind holds a secret for it to be the first spiritual
energy revival area.”
us stepped forward and volunteered to head to the ind.
“That won''t do. Leaving the secret realm for the mundane world will cause your powers to be
stagnant and potentially deteriorate. I''m sure you''re well aware of the limits that thews of nature in
the mundane world impose on us.”

Not wanting his son to risk his life, Brad shook his head.
“Dad, I can take the Spirit Stabilizing Pill. As long as my strength is secured, it won''t deteriorate even
though it remains stagnant. Conquering Encanta Ind and discovering the secrets behind its spiritual
energy revival is a huge opportunity that we can''t afford to miss,” us persuaded Brad.
Evidently, us had made up his mind a long time ago.
