Shi Lin escorted the composed Chen Xuan toward Wang City, approving of his calm demeanor unlike his previous fawning attitude. They descended at the gates, where a Dao Realm guard bowed deeply to her, allowing easy entry. Inside the human-like streets, Chen Xuan marveled at restaurants serving unfamiliar human delicacies, a luxury hidden from lower Stone Race like Jiang Tian.

"All these are humans captured and who surrendered to our race afterward. They produce everything found here, from the food and clothing to items you've never encountered; it originates entirely from the Human Race."

Traitors?!

These two words immediately surfaced in Chen Xuan's thoughts.

It's no surprise that this location mirrors Human Race cities so closely; that explains it.

Maybe due to his awareness that his wounds had mended, or perhaps the present 'Jiang Tian' offered her a fresh impression, Shi Lin chatted with him often during their journey, describing the Royal City.

Naturally, all those they met on the path showed Shi Lin profound reverence.

Over half an hour later, they halted before an opulent estate.

Jiang Mansion!

Chen Xuan eyed the three bold characters on the signboard, radiating a fierce presence, evidently crafted by an expert.

"The humans who yielded to the Stone Race clearly aren't ordinary!"

"Greetings, Young Miss!"

The guards flanking the entrance dropped to one knee and called out together.

"Rise!"

Shi Lin responded coolly, then gestured toward Chen Xuan trailing her, "Memorize him—Jiang Tian! From now on, he can come and go from the Prince's Mansion freely, with no interference!"

"Yes, Young Miss!"

The head stone race guard answered promptly, his eyes shifting to Chen Xuan's features.

"Is this the individual selected by the Young Miss?"

"A humble family name... destined for greatness ahead."

A flicker of jealousy appeared in his gaze unavoidably; belonging to the Zhang surname among the top three, he had gained his role as a junior guard captain at the Jiang Mansion via relations.

How could envy not stir in him!

"Follow me!"

Shi Lin uttered calmly before stepping into the Prince's Mansion.

Chen Xuan trailed steadily amid the guards' jealous stares.

The Jiang Mansion's design remains straightforward, featuring a majestic central hall encircled by four courtyards.

Yet these four courtyards span impressive sizes, each boasting its private garden.

Shi Lin claims an entire courtyard for her exclusive use.

"Lin Garden will be your residence from here on."

Chen Xuan surveyed the garden ahead, complete with artificial hills, delicate bridges, rippling streams, and exotic blooms and greenery, all meticulously landscaped.

It stands in stark contrast to his former lodging.

"Now this fits humans perfectly."

Passing through the garden together, they reached the inner chambers.

"The leftmost room at the end is yours!"

Chen Xuan glanced where she indicated and nodded, "Got it!"

"Xiaomei!"

Shi Lin called softly.

Soon after, a maidservant rushed up.

Chen Xuan's face tightened a bit upon spotting the maid, as she belonged to the Human Race!

"For any needs, seek her out. She's Human Race, as you can see; our kind pales in service compared to humans."

"I'll depart now!"

After her quick directions, Shi Lin turned to go; just one month remained before the Holy Land entry, demanding her thorough preparations.

Thus, she'd mostly remain at the Third Ancestor's abode during this period.

Yet mere steps later, she paused, faced him again, and declared, "You can freely access the Prince's Mansion, but inside it, confine yourself to Lin Garden alone—clear?"

"Hmm!"

Chen Xuan answered curtly, sparing his words.

Shi Lin gave a faint nod, though Chen Xuan's aloof attitude sparked a hint of irritation in her gaze.

Once she departed.

Xiaomei bowed lightly and murmured, "Master, I'll prepare your room right away. Kindly wait briefly!"

"Proceed!"

"I'll inspect it myself!"

With those words, Chen Xuan strode off casually.

Xiaomei lifted her head, confusion flickering across her face.

"What's his story?"

The Young Miss had never before escorted a man into Lin Garden.

Still, she hastened to ready the room next; as a Human Race servant, she ranked at the bottom, but thankfully the Young Miss treated her fairly and rarely caused trouble.

Chen Xuan reached the garden.

Positioned on a petite bridge, he peered into the flowing brook below.

Deep in contemplation, he stood.

To his shock, surrendered humans served the Stone Race, yet no word on the Mother Liquid had emerged.

Critically, only one month remained for him.

"What now?"

He massaged his forehead. A real dilemma.

Quite a while passed.

Room prepared, Xiaomei drew near and whispered, "Master, it's all set!"

Chen Xuan nodded faintly, pivoted, and inquired, "Does the Prince's Mansion house many Humans?"

"Replying to the master, Humans exist only at the Young Miss's residence; nowhere else!"

"So, were you born within the Stone Race?"

"Yes!"

No surprise there!

Not a single trace of Human Race aura could be sensed from her by Chen Xuan.

"Incidentally, does the Young Miss rarely return?"

"That, I don't know!"

Evidently unwilling to disclose anything about Shi Lin, she shifted the conversation instead, inquiring, "Does the master favor Stone Race cuisine or Human Race meals?"

"Human Race ones!"

"Understood, I'll prepare them right away."

Stone Race food?

He'd steer clear of it entirely; without consuming pills recently, his stomach would have nearly fallen apart.

Yet, just as Xiaomei turned to depart, Chen Xuan halted her, "No hurry, handle it later. Could you show me around this place?"

On this occasion, she didn't hesitate.

She proceeded to guide Chen Xuan through the area.

"This is the Young Miss's bedroom; entry is forbidden without her approval."

"This side holds her cultivation chamber!"

"And this is the Young Miss's study; she spends time reading here outside of cultivation."

The study?

Chen Xuan's curiosity surged, prompting him to ask, "May I glance inside?"

"Certainly allowed!"

Shi Lin had granted him free roam here, excluding her private room of course. Xiaomei, intimately familiar with Shi Lin's nature, grasped this without needing her direct command.
