As Lilith and Lucifer walked into the hut, Shi's fork dropped on the ground along with his jaw.
Such ethereal beauties! He marvelled and gazed at the ladies. Jenna and Yuma, who were in the room, had a similar expression.
Hyunsuk on the other hand had the same poker face as before. His pupils dilated a bit as he saw his master arrive, but nothing other than that.
Lilith and Lucifer were used to stares, but were really sensitive to the gaze of men.
The two turned to look at Shi, who was gawking at them and couldn't keep his mouth shut.
Lilith raised her eyebrow in interest and watched him, but Lucifer suddenly felt an itch and walked up to Shi and beat him up for staring.
'Oh my…' Lilith thought to herself.
Lith, Ralph, Dennis, Hyunsuk, Jenna, and Yuma all facepalmed as they saw Shi getting beaten up.
The ones who knew thought to themselves:
'The Jinx's misfortune affects even himself!'
"Ahhhhh! I'm sorry! Stop hitting me!" Shi cried out as Lucifer hailed a series of slaps.
Shi had done nothing wrong and just let out a normal reaction. He wasn't even perving or anything, but Lucifer still beat him up. This was his misfortune working in full blast.
"Aunt, stop hitting him. He's my disciple." Lith intervened and stopped Lucifer.
Lucifer stopped beating him up and snorted coldly. "Don't gawk."
"Poor boy." Lilith shook her head and shot a healing spell through her fingertip at Shi.
Shi's body and clothes recovered immediately, and a warm current flowed through him, dumbfounding him.
For some reason, Shi felt that his cultivation had slightly increased. Was he dreaming?
With everything settled, Lith let out a relieved sigh and introduced everyone to each other.
As Lilith had expected, this Jinx and Charm were indeed her son's disciples.
As for Jenna and Yuma, Lucifer showed some surprise and asked, "How did you two even arrive here?"
The world was sealed. There were no portals that led elsewhere, then how come these two got stranded in this world?
Jenna and Yuma let out a depressed sigh. They didn't even know where to begin…
"Please have a seat, I'll get tea for everybody." Jenna said and let her mother Yuma handle the talking while she walked away.
Yuma sat down and began narrating her tale while the rest listened intently.
Many thousands of years ago, her, her daughter, her husband, and their pet duck were wandering at a lone island near Uklov in the Neutral Continent.
They had heard the scenery here was good, the surroundings were warm, and hence they decided to have a picnic in this place.
Unknowingly, Jenna, being a little girl, wandered off deep in the woods with her pet duck.
Somehow she had found a strange rune with various ancient inscriptions on it.
"God knows what got to my daughter that day, but she began inscribing the same rune on the ground. The pet duck didn't sit idly and fetched some fruits for it and Jenna to snack on. The duck was somewhat intelligent." Jenna narrated.
Then, after a few hours when Jenna didn't return, Yuma and her husband got worried and went to fetch her.
When Yuma neared and saw Jenna inscribe something on the ground that seemed to be glowing, she panicked and made a run towards her.
While running, her arm got scratched by a sharp branch of a tree nearby, but she didn't think much about it and went to grab Jenna.
At this time, the fruits were laying on the glowing inscription, and Jenna was happily inscribing some more because the glow effect felt amazing to her.
When she saw Yuma rushing towards her, she felt guilty and panicked.
The duck felt the same and started running.
Jenna was yet to run when Yuma grabbed her. She was about to take her away from the glowing magic circle when a drop of blood fell from her scratched hand.
The inscription glowed intensely and the next thing they knew, they vanished from their spots.
What happened after, they didn't know. They simply found themselves stranded in this world.
Thankfully, they stumbled across the Jenkos, the tribe consisting of small people.
It took some time, but assimilated with them and even became their leader. They opened up their restaurant here and served adventurers of different races.
Humans were vile and the interaction with them wasn't good, so they forbade anyone from entering this place.
Any human that was found would be instantly killed upon entering the Jenkos's territory.
Lith was lucky to be a vampire. The Jenko he had met at the start did not find any human trace within him and didn't kill him.
Later, Lith seemed harmless so he brought him to the hut.
The rest was something they all knew.
"I see." Lith said, finding the overall events too amusing.
Whatever happened was far too unfortunate. Nobody would believe such a series of events could happen, but Jenna and Yuma were living proof in this world.
Lilith smiled softly and said, "Be at ease now. We'll take you back."
Yuma, and Jenna who had returned in the middle of the conversation, both shed tears of joy.
Not being rude, the two bowed and said, "I cannot express my gratitude enough. If there's anything—"
Lilith raised her hand. "Don't mention it."
With their story being over, Lith introduced the church people to his mother and aunt.
He did not say what they did, just told the two that he wanted to bring them home too.
Lilith naturally agreed and told Jenna and Yuma that they would leave once they finished packing their stuff.
There was nothing other than a few ducks that Jenna and Yuma wanted to take back home.
Eventually, they packed up, and left the Two Path Blind Mountain World.
A lot had happened here and it would be something Lith would definitely remember.
The things about deities was something Lith had to research more on. How strong they were and whether they posed a threat or not. It was something that needed attention, but since he would be going to Martial Master's place later, he would get a brief understanding, so he shelved this topic to the back of his mind for now.
With all things said and done, Lith teleported back to the Royal Castle, within the outer ring's banquet hall.
There was a feast ready and everyone's loved ones were in attendance.
Lilith did a short greeting and left with Lith and Lucifer.
Dennis got dragged to the backrooms by Cecilia, who was previously standing with his mother Fiona and Mu Mu.
Fiona couldn't let her boy get stolen so easily. She hadn't seen him for two centuries, she had a lot of things to talk to him about.
The Crimson Clan girl could wait.
With that thinking, she went to the back rooms as well.
Ralph got dragged to a special soundproof room assigned for them. His butler Robert was escorted to some unknown place with the church disciples that had been brought in this world.
Ralph's parrot Sky, who was previously perched upon Avelyn's shoulder, was kicked out of the room.
He cried loudly, but then saw Mu Mu and went to bully him.
Only Saintess Helen was left in the room, surrounded by a group of Royal Servants who did not have any idea what to do with her.
At this time, a man with serious yet gentle bearings, wearing a chiton and sandals walked towards the maidservants.
He had blue hair and seemed like a divine being banished to the world of mortals.
The Royal Servants made way as he was senior to them and the man stopped in front of Saintess Helen, who was seated on a chair.
Saintess Helen's gaze fell on the man and all of her worries disappeared.
'Such pure aura of light!' She couldn't help but be shocked.
No man who possessed such an aura was a bad person!
Noman, the Seraphim butler, calmly analyzed the girl and said, "Virtuous. Pure. Kind."
Noman very rarely spoke, let alone give praise.
The Royal Servants nearby were surprised by it and looked at Saintess Helen, wondering who this might be.
In the mix of this servant group, there weren't the maids who were looking at the live stream.
Noman got a message from Luna and rushed here as fast as he could. His trip was not in vain.
Unbinding Saintess Helen, Noman said, "Follow me."
