Only then did the Great Magus realize that he had let the cat out of the bag. He hurriedly said, “Look, look. I am is old and my consciousness is blurry. Some nonsense just came out like that. Don’t take it seriously, don’t take it seriously.”

Demoness secretly looked at Mike. She wanted to see what Mike would say.

Mike turned his head and looked at Demoness. He said, “I knew it. I saw your reaction today, but I didn’t say anything about it.”

Demoness nodded, still not daring to look directly at Mike.

Mike continued, “I have to confess something to you first. I already have someone in love with me, and even though we have already happened… I still love her in my heart. Can you understand that?”

Demoness was surprised by Mike’s honesty, but what Mike said was exactly the same as what Eve said, which made her have a good impression of Mike.

Mike said, “I will be responsible for you, but you need to give me some time. I will try to fall in love with you. If I don’t fall in love with you within 100 years, I will agree to some conditions or marry you.”

Jake stared at Mike, already regretting that he had spoken too quickly.

The Demoness’s face was as pale as paper. She said, “Although I don’t know what the three old men need you to do, I was adopted by his grandfather. The three old men personally taught me how to advance, and they were extremely kind to me… in short, I only want to repay the kindness of the three old men. You don’t have to take it to heart. As for the conditions, there’s no need to mention it anymore.”

Sighing, Jake was just about to say a few words to appease Demoness when he heard Mike say, “I may have understood your heart a little. I’m sorry, I was careless.”

Demoness nodded. She could no longer stay in this room. She even forgot to bid farewell to the Great Magus and left the room as if she was running for her life.

After Demoness left, the Great Magus looked at Mike and said,

“What you did today was indeed a bit too much.”

Mike was not afraid at all. He retorted, “If I didn’t spill the beans today, I’m afraid none of the subsequent things would have happened.”

The Great Magus suddenly stopped. He looked at Mike and said, “Let’s not talk about this for now. I want to explain to you about Demoness’s recovery of her magic power.”

Mike sat up straight and said, “I am listening.”

The Great Magus said, “The reason why the Demoness is unable to recover her powers is that her body lacks the origin energy. She has been absorbing the Azure Dragon’s origin energy all year round, and her own origin energy has long since been assimilated. However, this is the problem. She has yet to become a divine-tier summoner, so she is still unable to completely get rid of the external Holy Dragon’s origin energy. I believe that you know better than me what it means to lack the origin energy?”

Mike nodded and asked, “Then what do you need me to do?”

The Great Magus said, “You only need to extract a reasonable amount from your origin energy every month and pass it to Demoness. That will be enough for her to recover her strength.”

Mike nodded and said, “If I hadn’t appeared, the Azure Dragon’s origin energy should be enough to allow her to become a divine-tier summoner, right?”

The Great Magus nodded and did not say anything.

Mike also nodded and said, “I understand. Don’t worry. Although my words aren’t pleasant to hear, the matter will be handled beautifully.”

The Great Magus nodded and handed Mike an item. “This item is the key to your new room. I originally wanted Demoness to bring you there, but it seems that you’ll have to slowly look for it yourself.”

Mike asked with some doubt, “Why? Teacher Demoness can’t take me there, why not change to another person? Why do I need to find it myself?”

Mike then nodded with a bitter face. He said to the Great Magus, “Then I’ll take my leave.”

The Great Magus smiled and said, “Go.”

After Mike left, the Great Magus sighed and said, “Sigh, why do I need Demoness to make such a sacrifice?”

Mike had imagined how close he and the Demoness’s house should be, but when he really saw the two houses, Mike was still shocked.

Mike stood in front of the wall next to Demoness’s room in the two thatched houses. Looking carefully, he could actually see the flickering candlelight in Demoness’s room.

Mike was a little speechless. The intentions of these old men were too obvious.

Mike walked out of the door and looked around. He found that there were still plenty of trees and stones here.

He planned to build two houses that were not next to each other again. This would more or less ease the awkward atmosphere.

Demoness had already noticed Mike. She hid behind the door and watched Mike cut the tree beams and cut the stones into bricks. There was a strange emotion in her eyes.

After four hours of work, Mike finally made two decent houses.

Mike looked at Demoness’s door and hesitated for a moment, but he still walked up. Demoness saw Mike walking over and quickly sat on the chair, pretending not to know that Mike had come.

Mike knocked on Demoness’s door and asked, “Demoness, the weather is getting cold. I’m afraid the wooden house won’t be able to block the cold wind. I’ve built two new stone houses. You can choose one first.”

Demoness walked out of the door. She looked at Mike and her face turned slightly red. After randomly choosing one, she closed the door and did not come out.

When Mike saw this scene, he could not help but smile bitterly as he went up and knocked on her door again.

“Is there anything else?”

Mike looked at Demoness and his face suddenly turned red. He said, “I need to transfer the origin energy to you.”

The scene from that day suddenly flashed in the Demoness’s mind. Her face suddenly turned red and she couldn’t even speak. She only stammered, “I… I’m too tired today. Why don’t we do it another day… Another day…”

Mike looked at Demoness’s bashful attitude and he somewhat understood what was going on. He said to her, “It will only take three to four minutes to transfer the origin energy.”

Demoness’s face turned even redder when she heard that. She nodded and said, “I’m ready.”

Mike came to her room and she closed the door. They did not seem to notice that a pair of angry eyes were staring at the closed door from afar.

The process of transmitting the origin energy was exceptionally smooth. Mike and the Demoness sat opposite each other, their palms facing each other. A pure and warm origin energy was transferred from Mike’s arm to Demoness’s body. Demoness felt this energy, she immediately moaned comfortably.

Mike estimated the amount of origin energy Demoness needed to stabilize her realm, and when it reached a certain amount, he immediately stopped.

“Demoness, I’m right in front of you. If you need anything, just call me.”

Demoness’s face was red as she nodded.

Mike nodded and returned to the room.
