Why can't I sleep, even though the bed here is so much more comfortable than the cold and rocky stone floor of the cave?" muttered Faye in desperation after numerous minutes of not being able to fall asleep.

It did not matter much since she did not really need to sleep right now with her strength and realm, but as Thiago, she preferred to get enough rest for the mind and body.

"Well, it is probably because the bed I am lying on now is an unfamiliar environment for my body and I need to adapt to it first; yeah, that should be the reason," reasoned Faye shortly after.

"Now then, I might as well use this time effectively and cultivate if I am unable to sleep at the moment," decided Faye, in order for her to not use this time of not being able to sleep meaningfully and not just stare at the ceiling all the time.

'I have to catch up with Thiago's cultivation, because this princess' cultivation cannot be lower than his, otherwise I will feel ashamed, ' thought Faye inwardly.

Oh, how wishful it was to think that she would be able to catch up with his unfathomable cultivation speed.

Truly ignorant.

Well one has to forgive her for that since she couldn't possibly know who Thiago was.

He was a person with a System.

Anyways, enough of that, After Faye began her cultivation practice, she also noticed what she hasn't before, how high the mana density in the air was and mumbled excitedly: "This is simply a paradise for cultivation in contrast to the amount of mana inside the cave priorly."

'How did I not notice this before; it seems that I was too distracted by everything new inside this so-called house that I just did not pay any attention to the mana content inside the air,' thought Faye promptly.

Subsequently the room also returned to silence as she was not moving and turning on the bed every second anymore due to her now cultivating.

The world's illusory clock ticked and the minutes passed, slowly approaching another day.

The sound of "yawning" could be heard in both rooms at almost the same time, as Thiago and Faye woke up at almost the same point in time.

A few seconds later, the door that led to both of their rooms opened and two black tigers could be seen sauntering out of the room and into the hallway.

"Good morning, Faye!" greeted Thiago when he noticed, that she was also walking into the hallways the same moment as him.

"Oh, good morning, Thiago!" replied Faye instantly after which Thiago asked her if she wanted to have breakfast or if she wanted to leave the inner world already.

"Hmm, to be honest, this esteemed self would certainly like to have breakfast under normal circumstances, but now I would like to get some fresh air and some sunlight, since here in your inner world the only source of light are these lanterns or whatever you call them, and they are not quite comparable to the sun," Faye replied, which also gave Thiago the idea of buying some kind of light source to place in his inner world, because Faye was absolutely right that the light from the lanterns was not comparable to the sunlight outside on Red Star.

And there was only darkness outside the mansion at the moment, so he had to think of something for that as well. Maybe he could buy an artificial sun or something like that to light up the whole inner world.

Coming back from his thoughts, Thiago said that he understood her and that he would also leave the inner world with her for now, as he had something important to do outside.

"Alright, let's go," he said, before Faye just felt everything around her suddenly go black again for a moment before she found herself back in the cave she had left before.

"Well, you will stay here while I am going out to do something important now," declared Thiago while already moving towards the entrance of the cave until suddenly Faye spoke up: "What do you mean I will stay here? Why should you decide that? I also want to go out!"

This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.

"Ai, do what you want, it was just a suggestion, anyway I'm leaving now, see you later." Thiago replied as he stepped out of the cave into the forest, slowly disappearing from Faye's view as the trees blocked her view of him.

"It was just a suggestion," she mimicked Thiago while muttering: "What a big liar he obviously just didn't want me to leave the cave but still said so righteously that it was just a suggestion"

"Humph!"

"Well, it's not like I really have anything to do outside at the moment, but it's a principle," Faye muttered silently afterwards.

Meanwhile, Thiago was already approaching one of the red points on his radar map; this beast was the Ice serpent.

He had naturally not arbitrarily decided on first approaching the Ice serpent, but completely opposite wise carefully acted according to his woven out plan, which he had thought of in the night.

His plan was to somehow anger or attract the Ice Serpent and lure it into the Lightning Bear's territory, which was bound to become aggressive if the Ice Serpent, a creature of the same realm as the Lightning Bear, suddenly entered its territory.

There the bear should then start fighting with the Ice serpent, giving Thiago some time to march into the Golden basilisks territory and attract its attention.

If that worked, only the last step was left, which was to lure the Golden basilisk towards the place where the two other beats were fighting at that moment and then let the basilisk somehow join that fight which obviously already sounded quite impossible to achieve and quite naive on top.

Although Thiago knew that this plan had many flaws, sounded as if a naïve kid had come up with it and could go terribly wrong, it was also quite easy to implement, so he still had decided on it in the end.

Because often the most easy and naive sounding plans could become the most effective ones.

Thiago also knew that although these three beasts were demon beasts and not as intelligent as normal beasts at the same realm as them, they were still able to act more or less rationally because they were already in the Superior Student realm and could pretty much suppress their demonic and beastly instincts.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, they would not fight without reason, which would completely thwart his plan unless he had something that could change that.

And that was exactly what Thiago had, thanks to the fact that Thiago suddenly got enlightened last night and had bought an item in the system shop just shortly after he had bought the Protective potions.

This item was called the Fury Stone.

In the world of cultivation, the Fury Stone is a highly coveted item, renowned for its power to incite wild and uncontrollable rage in beasts.

Hunters and cultivators alike use the Fury Stone to provoke beasts into combat, a means of testing their strength and honing their abilities.

The stone, which is made from a rare mineral found and harvested only in the most remote dark and chaotic regions, is said to be infused with dark and murderous spiritual energy, the source of the beasts' fury.

The spiritual energy diffuses into their mind and clouds their reasoning by arousing all their murderous and chaotic thoughts, therefore making the beasts extremely aggressive and prone to fight anything in sight to the death.

However, the use of the Fury Stone is strictly regulated inside most territories and kingdoms due to its potential for chaos and destruction.

Those caught in possession of a Fury Stone are often subject to severe punishment, as it is believed to be connected to forbidden spiritual arts. Despite these risks, the Fury Stone remains highly sought after by those seeking to increase their power in the cultivation world.

At the moment he had the stone stored in his spatial necklace, so as to be able to quickly take it out later.

With this Fury stone, Thiago thought that his chances on success were not that bad anymore as the beasts' reasoning should be completely clouded by their chaotic and murderous thoughts to fight and therefore fight each other to the death if he was lucky.

And even though the Golden basilisk was one small realm higher than the other two beasts, this was not a big difference in spite of the fact that these beasts would be completely aggressive and unleash all their potential and attack power, which would balance the fight out, since the bear for example had the lightning affinity and also the highest attack power of the three.

The only variable was the Golden basilisks petrifying ability, but Thiago could only hope that the beasts would not directly gaze into the Golden Basilisk's eyes for too long.

Because as long as the beasts did not stare into its eyes for too long, there would not happen much because there was not much of a realm difference between them unlike between Thiago and the basilisk.

That is why Thiago had to buy the Protective Elixir, which he would drink before setting his plan in motion, lest he accidentally stare into the basilisk's eyes during the battle and be petrified by the mistake.

A few minutes had passed since he had started walking towards the red dot, and he saw on the map that he was almost there, just a few hundred meters away.

'Alright I need to be cautious from now on, so as to not be noticed beforehand, which would destroy my surprise moment,' thought Thiago while already slowing down his steps and moving more stealthily.

'I might need to buy a stealth technique in the future for exactly such moments as now,' came Thiago to mind while he was constantly approaching the red dot.

And then a few seconds later he saw a lake with various trees surrounding it up ahead, where the Ice serpent was probably living.

"Here it is," Thiago muttered as he carefully scanned the area, comparing it to the red dot on the map, until he suddenly noticed the Ice Serpent lying curled up underwater on the lake bed.

"There you are," mumbled Thiago already in thought about how to best wake up the serpent and make her chase him.

"The best thing would be if it had some kind of treasure or something I could steal, then it would definitely come after me.

Unfortunately, I cannot see any at the moment, but anyway, I might as well just attack the surface of the water and the snake will wake up.

It will also be angry at someone for waking it up, yes that is good, it should chase me if I do that," pondered Thiago while observing the serpent.

"Alright, then let's begin!" yelled Thiago since it didn't matter anymore if the serpent heard him.

"And, first attack!"

"Waky, waky, it's time to get up you sleepy head, Ice serpent," muttered Thiago after launching his first attack onto the lake's surface, making all the water splash and a huge tsunami forming inside the lake.

The eyelids of the Ice Serpent began to twitch after the first attack, as if it felt the attack on the surface of the water.

And just after he had launched his second attack, the ice serpent's eyes opened up completely and one could only see intense amounts of fury and hatred inside them.

Immediately the serpent got up from the ground and shot out of the water surface, creating a enormous water fountain in the process.

"Who dares to disturb this one's sleep!" Boomed the Ice Serpents majestic and old sounding voice through the place.

"Me!" Thiago replied jokingly, irritating the snake even more.

"You're courting death!" resounded the serpent's voice throughout a large part of the forest again, this time full of murderous intent and anger.
