When Ninth Dream also recalled that Sir Vaan could see through their invisibility, she realized he had been teasing them by taking advantage of their innocence and naivety.

As their mistress said, Sir Vaan did bully them.

It was no wonder he could accurately guess when they were playing cards in their dream field.

Ninth Dream and Seventh Dream couldn't help but feel their faces turning red-hot with

shame and embarrassment when they thought about Sir Vaan watching them pruning their flower gardens.

They felt so overwhelmed by the revelation, but they couldn't even get angry at Sir Vaan for it.

After all, he wouldn't have seen their flower gardens if they had not acted shamefully in the first place.

"Sir Vaan, he..." Ninth Dream covered her red face and said resentfully yet coyly, "He is so bad~!"

"No, he is a bad scoundrel!" Seventh Dream corrected her statement, feeling similarly abashed.

Meanwhile, Fourth Dream had a dumbfounded look.

After seeing her mistress's perspective, her greatest fear quickly disappeared. However, in its place came many questions and doubts related to her own heart.

She had lost her innocence to Sir Vaan.

Although she didn't feel regretful over what happened, she still felt a sense of loss. After all, she wasn't sure what she was to Sir Vaan and where she stood between him and her mistress.

At the same time, she didn't understand her mistress's intention either.

"Mistress, there's something I don't understand. If you knew what you were getting us into, why did you still push us to Sir Vaan's side?" Fourth Dream asked doubtfully.

When Seventh Dream and Ninth Dream heard that question, they also perked their ears to listen. After all, it was a very good question.

Did their mistress want them to be bullied by a big bad wolf from the start?

Nevertheless, in the face of that question, Hecate calmly smiled before saying, "Before that, why don't you three answer my question first? Why don't you three want to return to the Dreamdust Territory with me yet?"

The three Dreamcatchers immediately fell silent.

In their hearts, they also asked themselves the same question - Why didn't they want to return yet?

At first, they truly wished to return to the comfort of their home. However, after several days following Sir Vaan, they were indeed feeling reluctant to leave so soon.

Furthermore, it wasn't because they grew fond of Sir Vaan or anything.

Instead, it was because there always seemed to be something exciting or new for them to learn around Sir Vaan. Their hearts had never experienced so many chaotic storms of emotions when they spent their days back in the Dreamdust Territory.

Maybe the thrills drew them to stay. Of course, the pure land was another big reason.

Nevertheless, Hecate didn't wait too long for the Dreamcatchers to answer before she provided one for them.

"You are reluctant to leave because it has been fun, has it not? Being around Sir Vaan is quite exciting compared to the dull life you have all been living up until now. Can any of you say with certainty that this wasn't the case?" Hecate confidently asked.

"No... You are right, Mistress," Seventh Dream acknowledged before saying, "Although it had been embarrassing and shameful most of the time, it has truly been fun."

"Are we actually masochists for feeling this way...?" Seventh Dream doubted shortly after.

"Not at all," Hecate calmly shook her head before explaining, "You are experiencing the long overdue feelings of living, and there is nothing wrong with wanting to live with more vibrant colors. After all, we are living beings, not puppets with stone hearts."

"However, due to the place where we mostly cultivate our dream power, we are subjected to the development of the Frigid Heart, which dulls our emotions and suppresses our feelings."

"I have practically raised all of you and see you as my children. That's why I had hoped that by pushing you three to Sir Vaan's side, you could all become more normal children and not heartless puppets who only know how to do my bidding," Hecate stated.

"Mistress..." The three Dreamcatchers immediately felt touched by Hecate's words.

Little did they know that while Hecate's words were mostly true, she did not mention she had an ulterior motive for doing so as well. In truth, she was also using them to tie Vaan to her

side.

Alas, her honeytrap plan would have backfired if she did feel jealous over it.

--

Meanwhile, in the sea of stars, several hundred kilometers away from the moon, Vaan prepared to cultivate the Everlasting Blood Mantra in the void of space, away from the influence of Chaos and its mana.

He couldn't help but possess a sense of expectation.

After all, cultivating the Everlasting Blood Mantra would grant him stronger regenerative abilities. If it could augment his bloodline's existing power of regeneration, it would increase his survivability.

...

The Everlasting Blood Mantra was divided into six stages.

The First Stage of Regeneration required ten origin blood, the Second Stage of Rejuvenation required a hundred origin blood, the Third Stage of Reparation required a thousand origin blood, the Fourth Stage of Regrowth required ten thousand origin blood, the Fifth Stage of Revival required a hundred thousand origin blood, and finally, the Sixth Stage of Everlasting required one million origin blood.

Refining a single type of blood essence according to the Everlasting Blood Mantra would create a single origin blood. Thus, he needed the blood essence of one million different species to achieve complete mastery.

Even if Vaan scoured the entire planet of Pangea, he wasn't confident if he would even reach ten thousand origin blood on his own.

After all, if a Blue Rabbit, Red Rabbit, and Black Rabbit alone could already give him three origin blood, then reaching one million origin blood didn't seem too difficult. However, how could the ancient technique of a primordial god be so easy to master?

It was more likely that the different species of rabbit share the same ancestry. In that case,

Vaan would only acquire the same origin blood multiple times.

He realized the Everlasting Blood Mantra was lacking in some areas of its details. Nevertheless, all answers will be revealed to him once he starts cultivating the technique.

'I should be able to reach the second stage of Rejuvenation with this bottle of blood essence, right?' Vaan mused.
