Feng Yi was sure the underwear was thrown by that person and, upon hearing the manly voice, his heart throbbed in fright - the person wasn't there to just disturb people, was he?

"Whether you are human or demon, come out!" Even though Feng Yi said that, he didn't have the confidence or security, retreating some steps in fear of encountering something terrible.

And sure enough, a world-class dandy appeared, dressed in a white robe holding a folding fan, giving the impression of an immortal banished from heaven.

The man was taken aback at the sight of Feng Yi, but quickly broke into a smile.

"You are…?"

"I am, with my unchanged surname and name, Bai Zhexian." True to his name, he simultaneously saluted Feng Yi.

On identifying the man, Feng Yi was greatly astonished, pointing at him with the underwear: "Aren't you the infamous one?"

"Hehe, your perception is impeccable, Brother. Might I reclaim my lost belonging?"

"Of course, of course. Brother Bai, your reputation precedes you. If this belongs to you, rightfully it should be returned. However…" Feng Yi saluted but decisively showed no intention of returning the underwear, thinking, I knew I recognized him. This is Bai Zhexian, the renowned pervert from the world's most wanted list, known for his crude behavior but not his talent. A fugitive everyone wants to beat, who knew whose trinkets he's stolen this time that led him to seek refuge in the Adventurers' Bounty Tribe - a blame I certainly won't accept.

"If Chairman Feng has something to say, feel free."

Feng Yi paused, realizing he had unsuspectingly blown his cover by coming to the top floor. Anyone in the Maraca Freedom Port could've guessed, let alone in this guild. Might as well be forthright about his identity and ask: "May I know why Brother Bai is here?" Feng Yi asked, glancing at the underwear.

Bai Zhexian was frank about his intentions, stating he was invited by Miss Mary to the Adventurers' Bounty Tribe to accomplish a task, which would reward him with 500 honor points. It's an S-grade mission.

Enticed by the exquisite beauty who controlled the Triangular Star, Red, Bai Zhexian intended to capture some 'inspiration' from her. Though, he was caught in the act and had to take refuge in this guild. Coincidentally, the Triangular star was quite close to the location of the Starlight Coast where Red resided. Feng Yi was left astounded - why on earth did Mary hire such an unreliable miscreant? This man, while never committing heinous crimes, was infamous for his minor offenses. Bai's presence in public places was akin to casting a spotlight on him, making him an enemy of everyone, especially women. Despite his penchant for stealing trinkets from famous people and claiming to seek inspiration from them, Feng Yi was fairly familiar with Bai through his 'adults-only' books on jungle traps, making him an inappropriate writer for children. Bai, in his perverse habit, had the audacity to peep on the famed beauty Red, one of the five Giants. It was not that he couldn't beat Red, but his guilty conscience betrayed him. Looking at him, despite dressing like an immortal, he was indeed a sleaze at his core.

However, Feng Yi was quite clear about one thing – Bai Zhexian's so-called creative pursuits might just be a way for him to pursue his own path. It is rumored that a song by Athena, 'A Warrior's Love', which was performed at the National Competitive Games, was a work of this wandering poet's ancestor.

Looking through to the infamous and vulgar Bai Zhexian revealed a strange man who seemed out of this world with an old-world charm. He wasn't off-putting and, as far as Feng Yi knew, wandering poets often celebrated the world and its civilizations, its unusual people and events, or some tertiary lifeforms, like guiding grudging spirits to reincarnate with requiems. However, Feng Yi, being a optimistic young man of the materialistic age, did not believe in these stories.

"Brother Bai, could you state your intentions?" As the chairman, Feng Yi needed to know where the 500 honor points were being spent.

"It's a personal task, I'm unable to disclose it."

Feng Yi had just moved to return the underwear when he heard this and immediately withdrew the gesture.

At this, Bai Zhexian desperately spoke out, "It's okay to tell, but I'm not sure whether you would believe me or not."

"Belief is not the issue, righteousness is inherent in everything. Feel free to share, Brother Bai."

"Are you aware of the phenomenon of 'ghost business', Brother Feng? That's the task."

Out of immense curiosity, Feng Yi asked, "A ghost is a cluster of the spiritual magnetic field, isn't it? Anyone who exhibits mental power can feel such commotions, so they shouldn't be called ghosts, right?"

"Belief makes them exist, disbelief doesn't. There is a saying about people having three Yang Fires - three lights - which include the Vita Fire on the forehead and both shoulders. If the flame is robust, Yin objects cannot approach. If one is on the verge of death, the fire is likely to extinguish. When extinguished, it doesn't mean death but implies a short duration of unavailability. During this time, Yin beings can invade. If the flames fail to illuminate the entire body, one is possessed by the Yin beings. If the fire extinguishes completely, one might be possessed entirely. From a medical perspective, this vigor is similar to conscious brain waves which create illusions and split personalities when frightened."

"How is this related to the task?"

"There is some relevance."

Bai Zhexian offered to tell a story if Feng Yi was willing to listen.

Having nothing better to do, Feng Yi signaled Bai Zhexian to leave the gravity room and sit outside, narrating the story while enjoying the view. The scene was not suitable for conversation, but from a high vantage point, the view of the city was stunning. Feng Yi also took out some food and drinks from the Space Crystal for relaxation and enjoyment, after all, one must make the most out of life's pleasures.
