Prince Lieyang walked into Lin Ge’s room and immediately took off his armor, revealing his strong and healthy body. Some red scales remained on his well-defined chest and abdomen.

Lin Ge quickly closed the door and took out a set of loose-fitting sportswear from the closet for him.

After Prince Lieyang put it on, he looked at himself in the mirror in the closet.

“I’m still so charming no matter what I wear. I’m still so handsome even after I’ve turned into a human.”

Lin Ge was too lazy to retort about the other party’s bald head. He took out a sleeping mat from under the bed and spread it on the side of the bed. He also took out a spare blanket and placed it on top.

“You’ll be sleeping here tonight.”

Prince Lieyang frowned and looked at the single bed in the room.

“Don’t think about it, that’s my bed.”

Lin Ge didn’t want to let a stranger lizardman sleep on his bed.

The Prince did not object. Instead, he sighed and sat down on the mat on the ground. This surprised Lin Ge, as he had thought that it would take some effort to keep his bed to himself.

“I can feel that the power in my body is constantly flowing away,” Prince Lieyang sighed, “I’m afraid that by tomorrow morning, I’ll completely become an ordinary person.”

Lin Ge lay down on his bed, and a lingering fragrance came from the blanket.

“Don’t worry. When you return to your own world tomorrow, you’ll be able to change back.”

The Prince shook his head, “Those guys won’t let me go so easily. As soon as I appear in Castaron, they will try to take my life. So, I plan to stay here for a while. When they think I have left Castaron, I will go back.”

“What?” Lin Ge was surprised, “How long do you plan to stay here?”

“I’ll stay for half a month first. I’m quite interested in your world. Since the God here has given me a human body, I’ll take this opportunity to experience the life of humans in another world. Don’t worry, I’ll repay you after this. I won’t stay in your place for free.”

Lin Ge was silent for a while, then asked, “Do you know who is trying to kill you?”

“Of course, I can’t think of anyone else other than my uncle who is coveting the throne. He must have planned to kill me while I was traveling so that he could naturally inherit the throne. Hmph, that damned old thing. After I inherit the throne, I’ll tear his bones out and make them into decorations.”

Lin Ge sighed to himself. So it was an internal struggle within the royal family. It was not easy to be a Prince.

While thinking of this, he fell into a deep sleep.

He only woke up in the afternoon.

Lin Ge opened his eyes on the bed and saw a naked red-skinned man looking in the mirror in the wardrobe.

He quickly sobered up and asked, “Why did you take off your clothes again?”

“The beautiful scales on my body are completely gone,” Prince Lieyang turned around and said.

Lin Ge took a look. Indeed, there were no more scales on the other party’s body. He looked completely human.

“Is there a library nearby?” Prince Lieyang suddenly asked.

“Why are you asking this?”

Prince Lieyang said as he put on his pants, “Every time I go somewhere new, I will go to the local library first and learn about the local culture and history through the documents. Now, I plan to understand the culture and history of your world so that I can better integrate into this world. You don’t want me to cause trouble, do you?”

Lin Ge had a whole new level of respect for the lizardman Prince. Just by looking at the latter’s appearance, it was indeed easy to think that they were a barbaric race, but it seemed that this was not the case.

“If you want to learn more about our world, you don’t have to go to the library. I have a better way.”

“Oh? Is there a better way than the library?”

Prince Lieyang revealed an interested expression. He saw Lin Ge take out a thin object from the bedside table. It had a smooth silver surface. After opening it, it was divided into two sides.

One side was covered with dozens of small protruding squares with unfamiliar characters printed on them. The other side was a black surface as smooth as a mirror.

After Lin Ge pressed a round button, the black surface suddenly lit up, showing a bright image.

“What is this?” Prince Lieyang was curious and stared at the screen.

“A personal computer. Behind this small screen, everything is connected to a huge virtual world. If the information produced every day inside is converted into words, no library in the world can accommodate it. Through it, you can quickly understand our world.”

The eyes of Prince Lieyang shone.

“There’s such a magical thing?”

“But first,” Lin Ge said with a smile, “You’ll have to start by learning our characters.”

As he spoke, he opened a video website that focused on infant education and started playing the video.

He pressed the spacebar, and a tender child’s voice came from the computer screen.

“Learn how to read with Baby Bus. Which Chinese character should I learn today…”

Prince Lieyang was instantly attracted by the vivid images and moving melody, and his eyes could no longer leave the screen.

Lin Ge placed the computer on the desk and connected it to the power source. He then went to the kitchen to get some bread and placed it next to the computer.

“Take your time. If you’re hungry, eat some bread. I’m going to work. If you have any questions, you can come to the bar to find me.”

Prince Lieyang nodded. His eyes, which were full of unruliness, were filled with a child’s curiosity as he stared at the computer screen.

“There’s a white pigeon in the sky, a gray rabbit in the grass, and a yellow duck in the water. I’m dad’s good son. A good son.”

Lin Ge smiled and left the room.

When he walked into the Emeralds bar, unlike the previous few days, Neelu was the first to arrive.

As usual, she was dressed in an alluring work uniform, but unlike the lazy Elise, she was cleaning the bar counter when Lin Ge entered.

“Morning, sister Neelu.”

“Good morning, little brother Lin Ge.”

It was morning in the other world.

After greeting Neelu, Lin Ge prepared to go to the resting room to change his clothes. Neelu, who was wiping the bar, seemed to remember something. When she turned around and was about to remind Lin Ge, he had already opened the door of the resting room.

An ear-piercing scream erupted from the inside of the room, and Lin Ge hurriedly closed the door.

“I’m sorry,” Neelu said with an apologetic smile, “I forgot to tell you that Elise is changing inside.”

Not long after, Elise, who had changed into her waitress’s uniform, stomped out of the resting room aggressively, glaring at Lin Ge with a flushed face.

“Umm… Actually, I didn’t see anything,” Lin Ge knew he was in the wrong and said guiltily.

“I’m sorry, Elise,” Neelu said, “I forgot to remind him. You don’t have to worry about it anyway, your human form…”

Neelu didn’t continue, but Lin Ge’s heart skipped a beat. Did she just say human form? Could it be that Elise wasn’t human?

However, it was not a big deal that the girl was not a human. After all, this bar led to a fantasy world.

“Next time, remember to knock first,” Elise snorted and let the matter rest.

Lin Ge quickly promised. From now on, he would knock on the door before entering the resting room in the morning.
