"What if the demon fox lays an ambush with a group of experts in advance tomorrow, waiting to put you to death once you arrive? What should we do then?"
Alex instantly could not help but chuckle, cooking at Lilith’s expression, his gaze carried a bit more of the affection an elder has when looking at a junior.
This little girl was truly naive to the point of being adorable.
Lilith revealed a look of incomprehension. "Saint Lord Alex, what are you smiling at?"
"Nothing, nothing." Alex waved his hand and asked with a faint smile.
"Princess Lilith, does your Mourning Candle Dynasty have any mighty Saints?"
"Ah?" Lilith froze for a moment, then immediately shook her head.
"Saint Lord Alex, you must be joking."
"Ever since my Mourning Candle Dynasty was sneak attacked by the Crimson Soaring Dynasty, we currently do not even have a single Supreme Realm expert. Where would we get a mighty Saint?"
"If we truly had a mighty Saint, how could we be huddled up on such a small island now?"
"Then what are you worried about?" Alex shrugged and laughed.
"Looking across the current era, only a mighty Saint possesses the power to fight me."
"Under a Saint, all are ants."
"Even if that demon fox conjured a hundred Supreme Realm experts, they would not be my enemy."
"For tomorrow’s banquet, you just need to sit back and watch a good show."
These domineering words deeply shocked Lilith.
Under a Saint, all are ants.
What kind of terrifying strength must one possess to speak such tough, unyielding words?
No wonder Saint Lord Alex, as the head of a Saint family, could become a legend famous across the major dynasties. Her request for Noah to invite Saint Lord Alex over was indeed the right choice.
The next day, at dusk.
Alex, along with Noah and Lilith, headed to the Mourning Candle Hall to attend the banquet.
Lilith wore a white dress today, she looked gorgeous and elegant, as graceful and naturally poised as a lotus rising from the water.
Noah looked on, completely infatuated, he could not help but swallow his saliva repeatedly and whispered.
"Saint Lord, Princess Lilith’s beauty is truly outstanding in the current world!"
"What, you fancy her?" Alex shrugged and smiled.
"How about I help you ask her intentions, and see if you can marry into the Mourning Candle Dynasty as a live-in husband?"
"No, no, I definitely will not marry in." Noah hurriedly waved his hands.
"If I marry in, I will have to change my surname."
"Compared to being a live-in son-in-law of the Mourning Candle Dynasty, I am much more willing to be a branch head of the Hale family!"
Arriving at the main hall, the Green-Whiskered Red Fox was sitting on the throne, having already waited for quite some time.
There were also many other people at the banquet. All major and minor officials of the Mourning Candle Dynasty, attending to keep their guest company.
Seeing Alex arrive, the Green-Whiskered Red Fox immediately stood up and chuckled. "Saint Lord Alex, you are finally here."
"My Mourning Candle Dynasty is in a remote location and lacks resources. We can only bring out some coarse food. Please forgive our poor hospitality."
Alex smiled faintly. "Not at all, for the Monarch of Mourning Candle to host so warmly has already made me feel overwhelmed by the favor."
"Today, I will definitely drink three hundred cups with the Great King and your noble officials. We shall not rest until we are drunk."
"Hahaha, please sit!"
As a distinguished guest, Alex sat on the left side of the throne.
Lilith, as the Eldest Princess with the most noble status, sat on the right.
After sitting down, Alex narrowed his eyes, carefully sensing the spiritual energy fluctuations around him.
Instantly, a cold sneer hooked at the corners of his mouth.
Among the forty-plus officials at the banquet, half of them were transformed from demon foxes.
The strength of these demon foxes was generally around the Enlightenment Realm and Void Amalgamation Realm. Even counting the mid-stage Mahayana Realm Green-Whiskered Red Fox, all of them combined could not withstand a single round of his Divine Magatama bombardment.
However, Alex did not plan to make his move directly.
First, if he appeared too relaxed and effortless, it would inevitably make Lilith feel he was just doing a minor favor requiring no effort, even though for him, this matter was indeed as easy as lifting a finger.
Second, Alex did not purely want to help the Mourning Candle Dynasty eliminate the evil fox.
He wanted to develop the Mourning Candle Dynasty into the Hale family’s future base.
To realize this wish, he had to eliminate the Green-Whiskered Red Fox, but he also could not let Ebon escape control.
After all, as the monarch, Ebon Candle could be considered a formidable hero of his generation. If he recovered normally, he would absolutely never allow his dynasty to become the Hale family’s base.
Thinking of this, Alex kept his composure even more steadily, facing the frequent toasts from the group of demon foxes, he simply wore a smile and clinked glasses calmly and unhurriedly.
In contrast, Lilith opposite him constantly wore a look of worry and anxiety. She was worried that Alex would underestimate the enemy and fall victim to the demon fox’s sneak attack.
When the banquet was well underway and the food had been thoroughly enjoyed, the Green-Whiskered Red Fox suddenly stood up and smiled faintly.
"Saint Lord Alex, I have long heard that your cultivation covers the world and your abilities are outstanding. You are truly a top-tier expert of the current era."
"It just so happens that I have also been delving into the Dao of Cultivation recently, and happen to have mastered a very rare technique."
"I wonder if Saint Lord Alex could do me a favor and give me some pointers on a few moves?"
"Oh?" Alex raised an eyebrow, laughing inwardly, this fox demon had finally lost its composure.
On the surface, however, he feigned surprise and smiled. "I did not expect you to be so busy with dynasty affairs, dealing with thousands of matters daily, yet still have the mind to delve into the Dao of Cultivation? It truly fills me with immense admiration."
"Alright, since you do not disdain my meager skills, I am willing to give you a pointer or two."
