Chapter 92
Chapter 92: Invitation from the older lady?!
[You have created two Unique Invitation Tickets.]
Alex successfully created two invitation tickets.
They were called unique because only Olivia and Remia could use those tickets. No one else would be able to use them should those tickets somehow fall into unfamiliar hands.
There was another reason why these tickets were so unique; because everyone had accepted Olivia and Remia’s visit here.
If Alex wanted, he could create those tickets without anyone’s consent. People his age did many stupid things, so it wouldn’t be that weird for eighteen years old Alex to invite a few friends to have some epic party in the grand castle.
Fortunately, he was not one of those young people.
He talked genuinely with girls. Their feelings had allowed Alex to use fewer points to create those tickets. Then, the new items had a layer of security. In foreign hands, those tickets wouldn’t reveal any information.
That was such a good feature that Alex nearly jumped from joy.
After creating those tickets, Alex shared the news with everyone. He then played a little with Celia before going asleep. The next day, Alex asked Olivia whether she was free.
He had received an immediate answer; I am free!
He told her to go to the forest fairies’ capital. It would take some time for Olivia to arrive here, so Alex planned to spend a whole day with Remia instead.
After school, he logged in.

[You have used your checkpoint: Tree House.]
Alex appeared in his Tree House. He felt like ages had passed after his last visit here.
Although ages surely didn’t pass since his last visit, it was true that Alex had focused more on his matters in Deathwill Castle.
He sighed, then patted the furniture, “No dust? Is it the tree’s function?”
No one should have access to his house. Therefore, it was a little odd that no dust had taken place in Alex’s house. But as he thought more, Alex realized that it was literally nature that had created a house for him.
It probably had a self-care, “Just like facilities in my castle… That doesn’t really sound right.”
Alex crossed his arms and pondered on the spot.
While he understood that it was plausible for nature to take care of itself and its houses, people built the Deathwill Castle. Some self-cleaning magic should be possible, yet Sara didn’t give him a decisive answer.
That was when Alex remembered a soft voice coming from the treasury, “I couldn’t have heard things… That woman called me a master, so is she like the castle’s head maid?”
Alex tilted his head, contemplating a possible maid in his castle.
If she really existed, Alex would gladly welcome her in. She should have more knowledge about the castle’s facilities and Elias Deathwill. Alex wanted to learn more about his father-in-law so that he could absorb his power faster.
After thinking about the unknown variable, Alex opened the doors. Leaving his house, Alex felt a pleasant breeze going through him. The fresh air unique to forest fairies filled his nostrils, welcoming the returnee.
The sunshine gently warmed and pinched Alex’s face. Since it was noon, Alex also heard a lot of giggles and talks coming from passing forest fairies.
For some reason, everything halted the moment he left his house.
“Who are you?” A forest fairy asked.
She was an older lady Alex was familiar with. He had talked with her numerous times and even helped with her shopping bags a few times. She also told him about spicy rumors.
Naturally, she stared at Alex in shock because he had appeared in his human self.
“It’s me, Alex. Can you recognize my voice?” Alex awkwardly scratched his hair.
That kind of a movement, his voice, and that signature smile told every neighbor that he was indeed that handsome cat man!
And as Alex was the good-looking cat man, his actual looks topped the fantasy appearance. His features hit different, and the forest fairies’ girls preferred humanoid races whose forms were close to humans.
After all, they didn’t really look any different from humans. Was there anything else that distinguished the forest fairies’ appearances besides their bent ears?
They still had that peculiar aura that blended well with nature.
“Oh my! Of course, I can! You’ve helped so many times. I am so shocked that you are a human, so handsome at that!” The older lady neighbor covered her lips in shock, then sent a peculiar glance toward Alex.
Even though he was inexperienced, he had seen a familiar expression in the auction house. That older lady had invited him for a night.
Unfortunately for her, Alex wasn’t interested in a one-night adventure with girls he barely had any connection with. That would leave a sour taste in his heart, considering he had three wives back home and a girlfriend waiting for him.
“It was caused by a curse. But now, I own the curse,” Alex explained briefly before separating himself from the shocked crowd.
“Ah… He totally ignored me, didn’t he?” The older lady sighed.

As Alex’s appearance became known, Remia had learned about Alex’s return to her forest.
She was happy that she could once again see him. He was someone she held dearly in her heart, so even just a little talk would make Remia content.
Remia found him without any problem, “Alex!”
Hearing her, Alex turned around and smiled at her. He waved, then slowly made his way toward her. Naturally, Remia was also on her way toward him.
At last, both of them met.
Remia extended her hands, then hugged him tightly, “You have leveled up! Congratulations!”
“Haha! Thank you,” Alex couldn’t help but grin widely as Remia was a little too excited.
Immediately after noticing his level, she congratulated him and asked about his battles in different lands.
Alex promptly connected the dots, “I fought on the Deathwill Castle’s grounds.”
He dropped such a bomb that Remia’s excitement froze, “The Deathwill Castle?”
That building and its grounds had disappeared from the map! Some speculated that those lands had been eaten by the darkness. Some that Elias Deathwill lifted the whole ground and ran away with his castle.
There were many theories.
Nonetheless, it was such a sensible and dangerous topic that Remia put the finger on Alex’s lips, then looked around. After confirming that no one heard him, Remia sighed with relief.
“How about we talk somewhere else, just two of us?” Remia bashfully asked.
