After a whole week of searching, the Shape-shifter had explored every corner of the border cities of the Shuowang Empire, but with no results.

"Let's go check out Nightless City. Maybe we'll find some clues," the Shape-shifter decided.

He purchased a teleportation ticket and with a flash of silver light, the Shape-shifter appeared in Nightless City.

"Teleportation arrays are so convenient, much better than the orc sedan chair," the Shape-shifter commented, surveying the layout of Nightless City.

The streets of Nightless City were wide and ancient, lined with tall and unique architecture of extraordinary grandeur. The stone blocks of the street were laid flat and tidy, while the sidewalks were decorated with various exotic flowers and plants. On the west side of the street stood the city walls, towering and majestic, giving a sense of immense grandeur. On the east side of the street, there was a continuous row of shops, ranging from quaint little stores to large shopping malls.

At the end of the street, towering ancient pines stood, with a magnificent palace standing there. Guards patrolled the perimeter of the palace, displaying a high level of vigilance.

During the daytime, the streets were bustling with crowds and noise. Various vendors came for profit, their shouts constantly heard, creating a lively and prosperous atmosphere.

The Shape-shifter wandered around, buying some peculiar and exotic trinkets.

There were magical props, some unknown herbs and ores, and even a thick book with instructions for various potion formulations.

"These things here are quite good," the Shape-shifter looked at the dazzling array of items before him and praised, "No wonder this is Nightless City."

He looked at the book of potions in his hand and headed towards the end of the street step by step.

"Crack." The Shape-shifter intentionally bumped into a pine tree at the end of the street.

He squatted down, gently touching his forehead. "Ouch... why is there a tree?"

In his hand, he condensed his combined strength and released a disguised surveillance eye beside the pine tree, attaching a portion of his consciousness to it.

At this moment, a demon guard approached. "Please leave this area, otherwise we will take action."

"Sorry, two soldier brothers. I was so engrossed in the potion book that I didn't notice my surroundings. Please forgive me," the Shape-shifter explained with a smile, "I will leave right away."

The Shape-shifter walked out of the corner of the street and glanced at the palace. "Heavily guarded! The Demon Emperor is really cautious."

...

In the evening, the city sky was painted with a tinge of orange-red twilight, resembling a magnificent painting.

Baixi bought a lot of snacks, preparing to use them to lure the palace thieves.

"Hehe!" A mischievous smile appeared on Baixi's face as she filled her room with wind eyes, waiting for the thieves to fall into the trap.

Eating snacks and watching the magic silver screen, Baixi suddenly heard a creaking sound.

The door slowly opened, and a black spherical creature entered the room. It glanced under the bed and suddenly found the spicy rabbit head, its three ruby-like eyes flickering in the darkness, instilling a sense of fear in people's hearts.

Baixi noticed the movement and immediately rushed into the room, turning on the lights to see the visitor.

Federer paid no attention to Baixi's presence, enjoying the spicy rabbit head without a care.

"Stop! That's my spicy rabbit head," Baixi shouted, taking a quick step towards Federer, wanting to rescue the rest of the spicy rabbit heads.

Federer opened his mouth wide and directly sucked in the storm, swallowing it together with the packaging bag.

"You...!" Baixi was furious and rolled up his sleeves, preparing to fight Federer.

However, Federer didn't care at all and continued to eat other snacks. Baixi restrained the urge to fight and instead picked up Federer and locked him in an iron cage, making it impossible for him to escape.

Since this is Mother's pet, it's up to Mother to decide how to deal with it. By the way, some extortion... or compensation, to be exact.

"Mother, I caught the thief~"

Baixi "rushed" to the study and showed off to the young girl who was reading documents.

"Oh?"

Iris raised her head slightly and saw Baixi's appearance, a faint smile appeared on her face. "Oh, you caught him? Let me see."

"He's here."

Baixi stepped forward and looked at Federer, who was lounging in the cage.

She reached out and gently touched the cage, and Federer instantly turned his gaze to Iris...

"Dread~ Delicious~" Federer muttered.

"Mother, this is your pet. Naturally, it is up to you to handle it after it is caught. Of course, your daughter has a small request and hopes you can help me." Baixi blinked her big watery eyes and looked at Iris earnestly.

Iris opened the cage and let Federer out.

"Baixi, I know you want the Beast Pill. I only have two of them, and you've eaten both." Iris spoke.

"Really?" Baixi was a little skeptical, after all, Mother's acting skills were really good.

"Why would I lie to you? If I had the Beast Pill, I would have given it to you long ago. The current situation is not optimistic, so let's try to improve our strength as much as possible." Iris advised earnestly.

"Alright." Baixi had to compromise when she heard her mother say this.

The current situation is not optimistic, and it won't be long before a large-scale war breaks out. Mother would never hide things from her.

At the same time, the Shape Shifter learned through the Monitoring Eye that there is an identity verification process to enter the palace, which involves answering questions posed by the demon guards.

Answer correctly, and you can enter the palace.

Answer incorrectly, and you will face the pursuit of the demons. The Demon Emperor might even personally intervene.

However, this didn't hinder her from investigating the situation in the palace. She saw that she was controlling the Monitoring Eye, which had the ability to disguise itself, flying towards the palace.

Due to the Monitoring Eye's camouflage ability, it was difficult for the demon guards to notice, and the range of monitoring was extremely wide.

"Martial Angel! How could there be angels in the demons' nest?"

"Intellectual Angel! There are two angels in the demons' nest! And both of them are top five-ranking angels. Wait, what is the Intellectual Angel doing? Why is she kneeling and paying respects to the Demon Emperor?"

After a moment, the Demon Emperor and Martial Angel met, and the Demon Emperor actually performed a gesture of respect towards Ruined Land, like a younger generation showing respect to an elder.

The Shape Shifter was shocked to see these scenes. The relationships here are really complicated!

However, this was just a small episode.

The Shape Shifter controlled the Monitoring Eye to enter the living quarters of the maids and found a maid tidying up the room.

The Monitoring Eye slowly approached and stealthily merged into the maid's body.

She wanted to obtain the answer to enter the palace through the Eye of Surveillance, a process that was extremely dangerous and any slight mistake would be detected by the demons.

Although the Shape-shifter could transfer their consciousness attached to the Eye of Surveillance to the maid in order to take over, he did not do so.

Firstly, the consciousness of the maid would be completely erased, and if she entered the palace again, she would not be able to answer the questions of the demonic guards.

Secondly, the maid's physical strength was too weak, which would make it inconvenient for her to move around.
