When Chen Zhao woke up again, he realized that he was still in the water, face down.
Fali had come back some time ago. She was removing her makeup in the bathroom.
Glancing at Chen Zhao, who had woken up, Fali was not curious about his strange behavior at all.
"Darling, were you asleep just now?"
Chen Zhao wiped the water off his face. "Yes."
"You put on makeup at work?" Chen Zhao asked, confused.
"No, Angel Beach was temporarily closed in the afternoon. I went shopping with a few colleagues," Fali said as she removed her makeup. "L.A. seems a bit messy recently."
"Yeah." Chen Zhao touched his head. "It's indeed a bit messy."
Even Fali could feel it. This meant that L.A. was really messy, to the extent that even ordinary people could feel it.
At the dining table, the children were still as quiet as they should be and frolicking about.
The pets in the house went in and out too. Every now and then, a pet would come to the table to ask for food.
Among them, Simba, Nana, Briar, and Bramble were the most frequent.
Because of their young age, everyone spoiled them.
So, they were the most unscrupulous.
They were already two years old. Briar and Bramble grew the fastest, and they were a size bigger than Simba and Nana.
The food at home was good too. Although they were still young, they were already quite big. When they stood up, they were more than a meter tall and weighed close to 30 kilograms.
However, compared to their mother, Princess, they were still insignificant.
Simba and Nana's mounts were African lions. Their growth cycle was actually shorter than brown bears, but Briar and Bramble's genes came from Princess, so Simba and Nana were still much smaller than Briar and Bramble.
Nevertheless, Simba and Nana, Briar, and Bramble had all entered a rapid growth stage.
Now, they would gain several kilograms almost every month.
Speaking of freaks, little Gerlyn was undoubtedly the number one freak in the family.
Her prestige in the pet circle could be said to be powerful.
Every day, she would patrol the territory with Briar, Bramble, Simba, and Nana.
Occasionally, she would also patrol with her little fangirl, little Larissa.
Little Larissa was almost a year old. She was completely weaned off milk.
She was also little Gerlyn's number one fan.
Every day, she looked forward to little Gerlyn taking her out.
They were not old enough to think.
Right now, they were still in the carefree stage.
Chen Zhao had been considering whether he should start exposing Gerlyn to magic.
Little Gerlyn was destined to be exposed to magic.
After all, she had unparalleled talent.
There was also the identity of the Witch of Nirvana, which was extremely rare since ancient times.
She was already inextricably linked to the Spirit World.
She would also have to face some problems in the future.
Chen Zhao didn't have any strange ideas.
For example, magic was the source of misfortune and disaster.
Or perhaps a childhood that was exposed to magic was a miserable childhood.
In the Spirit World, or at the edge of the Spirit World.
They would blame their miserable childhood on magic.
Of course, Chen Zhao wouldn't let this happen to his child.
Don't tell me that strangers want to harm them.
Even getting close to it was impossible.
The reason why Chen Zhao was considering whether to give little Gerlyn the Silence Spell was that he had been thinking about it for a long time.
It was mainly because Gerlyn was too young.
She might not be able to fully control Nirvana.
Moreover, Nirvana Magic itself was a very dangerous magic.
At least, that was what a few knowledgeable people said.
Chen Zhao didn't understand it himself. He'd read books on Nirvana Magic.
He could understand it, but he couldn't practice it.
People would always be afraid of things they didn't understand.
Chen Zhao was no exception. This was why he had been hesitant and didn't let Gerlyn learn Nirvana Magic.
As for little Larissa, her talent wasn't below Gerlyn's.
After all, she'd awakened on the third night the day she was born.
This kind of talent could be said to be unparalleled in history.
Fortunately, little Larissa didn't have any special attributes.
Compared to Gerlyn, little Larissa's future magic path was clearly easier to guide.
The next day, Chen Zhao went to New Moon Villa.
"Mr. Chen, why are you here again?" Lila Gavich looked at Chen Zhao, confused.
Chen Zhao took out the gem that contained the Thousand Faces Spell that he'd gotten from Beliel.
"I'm here to give you this."
Lila Gavich accepted the gem. Looking at the dazzling seven-colored gem, he said, "It's beautiful, but what's it for?"
"It contains the Thousand Faces Spell. A friend from Hell gave it to me," Chen Zhao said.
"That fast?" Lila Gavich was shocked.
He knew that Chen Zhao's connections reached all the way to Hell, but he'd also asked around. The Thousand Faces Spell had an extraordinary origin.
Even Chen Zhao might not be able to get it so easily.
He didn't think that he'd underestimated Chen Zhao's influence in Hell.
It had only been one night and Chen Zhao had already obtained the Thousand Faces Spell.
"It's okay." Chen Zhao shrugged.
"Did you pay any price?" Lila Gavich asked.
Suddenly, Lila Gavich realized that Chen Zhao's expression was strange. He seemed to be in pain and hesitation.
What did this mean? Did he pay a huge price?
But why did he feel reluctant to leave?
Lila Gavich didn't understand.
"Forget it. It's just a small matter."
In the end, Chen Zhao waved his hand. He couldn't tell Lila Gavich that he'd sacrificed his body for the Thousand Faces Spell.
Anyway, he and Beliel were already used to each other.
There was nothing to announce …
But Lila Gavich let his imagination run wild and filled in the blanks on his own.
He felt that Chen Zhao must've paid a huge price.
And he couldn't pay it back.
So, he pretended to be relaxed.
This made Lila Gavich feel bad.
He didn't think that his request would put Chen Zhao in such a difficult position.
"I don't know how to extract the Thousand Faces Spell from the gem," Chen Zhao said. "The person who gave it to me didn't say. Try it yourself. If you really can't extract it, I'll ask the person again."
"Are there any restrictions to cultivating this spell?"
"This spell has a very powerful origin. Apart from Enyaxili and Bellori, I don't recommend anyone else to cultivate it. You probably won't believe me even if I tell you the specific reason. Only they're allowed to cultivate this spell."
Lila Gavich didn't really understand, but since Chen Zhao said this, there had to be a reason.
Lila didn't plan on forcefully taking the spell.
After all, he'd prepared it for his adopted daughter.
Moreover, he'd asked Chen Zhao for this spell.
If he really needed some powerful spell, he could ask Chen Zhao for one. He didn't have to get the Thousand Faces Spell.
