"Nothing happened. Why?" Lilith was worried.
"I just sensed that Bella was going away from the camp." Rex answered.
"I did ask her to go with the vampire maids to get wood. Could something happen to all of them?" Lilith became frantic.
"That would be my guess." Rex said.
"Let me see if I can feel them." Violet said.
She exited the Labyrinth. Using her Nature Qi, she communed with the plants to find the whereabouts of her future husband's maids.
To Violet's surprise, the maids were being carried away by some men.
Violet tried to get a better look at them from other plants that saw the women get kidnapped.
She saw the men wearing a symbol across their cloaks on the back. She could not describe it well enough.
She forced a dead tree to open its bark up and showcase the symbol on it. Once it was finally done, she went back inside the Labyrinth.
Violet rushed to where Rex and Lilith were. Rex was drawing on the ground using a stick. Rex had finished when Violet came up.
"Some men wearing this symbol took them away." Violet said.
She held up the bark with the symbol. Rex's face glowed a slight red because of his anger.
Lilith usually would try to help calm Rex down. She felt that even his Soul was angered by the symbol.
"Violet, please do me a favor and wait outside with Lilith. Once I am done recovering, even Hell itself will be a welcoming sight for those idiots." Rex's anger was completely evident in his voice.
"Do we need to get them?" Violet questioned Rex.
"No. I will rescue them with each of you. I need to get the time to recover inside of here first. Then we will go and bring the men to the divine angel of death and the divine angel of idiocy." Rex answered with even more anger inside his voice.
"We will prepare outside." Lilith said.
She grabbed Violet and carried her outside.
Rex sat down and cultivated inside the drawing he had done.
He sat there in that cultivation until an egg appeared in his lap. By that time, he had only fifteen minutes left before exiting the Labyrinth.
Outside the Labyrinth
"Violet, help me keep track of the men. I want to know exactly where the men stop. That way, we can set up an ambush if anyone else tries to leave." Lilith said.
Violet closed her eyes while being carried on Lilith's back. Violet watched as the men traveled for nearly three hours.
Finally, they stopped at four giant stones set next to each other. A simple knock on each of them opened a door.
Violet watched as the men carried the maids below the ground.
Iris and Liz both darted ahead with half of the Warriors and the commander. Violet led them using a specific flower that would bloom in the Ninth Realm.
Margaret and Amber waited for Rex outside the Labyrinth. They were to carry Rex to the spot.
Violet returned to the Labyrinth after waiting for eight hours. She took a peek near Rex to see him cultivating. She began to wait alongside him.
She slowly began to cultivate herself, feeling a renewed sense of glory inside her. Once Rex finally woke up. She also woke up.
The duo looked at the egg. Violet was curious what it was.
Rex took a glance, and the system brought a notification up.
[Egg of the Goddess of Phoenixes. Once the egg completely hatches, the Goddess of Phoenixes will start a new life. Host has thirty minutes to decide if the Goddess will remain inside the Labyrinth or see the outside.]
[If Host chooses to hatch the egg outside the Labyrinth. The Goddess's Quest in the Ninth Realm will activate automatically.]
[If Host chooses to hatch the egg inside the Labyrinth. The system will reward you with equal value as the Goddess going to the Ninth Realm.]
[If Host wishes to hatch the egg outside the Labyrinth. The Host will have to take a Beastman of the Fox Tribe and the Bear Tribe, three Angelic Warriors, a human that is not in any family sense to you, a demon that is not under Lilith's or Diablo's control, a flower to bloom in the Ninth Realm, and finally Host has to fully activate Saint Power within himself or herself before reaching the Seventh Realm.]
Seeing what all Rex would have to do just to simply hatch the egg outside the Labyrinth. Rex did not know what to do.
Violet saw the curious look on Rex's face. It was one that was wrestling within himself the matter of choices to do. Violet usually saw this look when he needed to decide on supper on Saturday when nothing was inside the fridge and no one had any money.
"What is the matter, Rex?" Violet asked.
Rex immediately turned his attention to the womanly voice beside him. He did not notice that Violet was cultivating beside him.
"Is everything okay?" Violet put her hand on Rex's forehead.
She immediately backed away and blushed crazier than a high school girl getting asked to go on a date with the boy of her dreams.
"The system told me that I have two choices to do with the egg. First, hatch it inside here. The system will grant me rewards immediately and of equal value to hatching the egg outside."
Rex felt like he needed to explain what would happen if he chose to hatch the egg outside.
No matter what, he tried to say. It all came out in gibberish. Rex had not felt this clumsy in a long time.
"Take your time." Violet kissed Rex's forehead.
Even though she was still blushing. She needed Rex to be calm.
Rex began to explain everything about what would happen if the egg hatched outside the Labyrinth.
"Then there is no time like the present." Violet pushed Rex towards the exit.
"Are you sure that you want this?" Rex asked.
"One hundred and fifty percent. I would love to meet new people and travel with good friends. I know it would not be for me. The best thing to happen here would be to allow you to travel with more people besides the common ones we already have." Violet said.
Hearing what Violet said. Rex began to walk out on his own. Even the system found that relying on his wife to get the answer made this ordeal even worse for Rex.
[Best of Luck, Host.]
The notification went through.
Rex saw that since the deal had been made. There was no turning back now.
"First off, to the lair of those idiots." Rex smiled.
