"Myne? What are you doing, scaring Amy by sitting there like a wax statue, staring at her as if you''ll eat her alive the next moment?" Aisha asked as she walked over to Myne, and hit on the back of his head lightly, who was sitting stiffly on the couch, staring unblinkingly at Amy and terrifying the poor elf princess.

    "Huh? What did you say?" Myne, who was busy controlling his clone remotely, jolted awake as Aisha hit him. Because he had another near-death experience, he once again was forbidden to leave the house, so he could only use his clones to see the outside world. The one he was controlling was en route to the Aelmore Canyon in a luxurious private carriage. Accompanying the clone were two twins with stunning figures, hired to keep him company on the boring journey, with whom he was having an in-depth "conversation." It took Myne a few seconds to process what Aisha was saying.

    "Oh, sorry, sorry, Amy. I didn''t mean to scare you. It was just a misunderstanding. I was using the skill that allows me to take over the bodies of animals, and explore places I''ve never been to before. It''s a way to expand the range of my teleportation portals."

    "So, when you saw me sitting here, I was controlling a horse and heading towards the Aelmore Canyon. It''s part of the most important task on our list, but you guys have forbidden me from wandering off, I thought using animals would be a good way to investigate and figure out what''s wrong with that place" Myne explained, apologizing to Amy, who waved him off, gesturing for him not to worry, before lowering her head and continuing to prepare the ingredients for her potions.

    "When did you get such a perverted skill? And you didn''t use it to peep into people''s houses, did you?" Aisha''s immediate concern wasn''t the skill''s potential, but rather its potential misuse, she suspected that he might be using it to spy on women bathing. She knew her husband all too well.

    "Nonsense! Do I look like that kind of person? I already have the world''s most beautiful wife. Why would I look at those ugly women outside? Don''t ruin my poor image," Myne protested, hugging Aisha and defending himself shamelessly, even though his clone was currently enjoying the company of the twin in the carriage.

    "Well, I''ll believe you this time. But remember, I have my eye on you. Now, let me go. I have work to do in the kitchen. Also after you finish your exploration mission, remember to wash Waffle, Ted, and his parents. It''s getting cold, and none of them want to go near water, even if I force them. Especially that little rascal Waffle he always runs away with his flying skill. Sometimes I wonder if you should take back that troublemaking skill of his," Aisha complained, kissing Myne''s cheek before returning to the kitchen, leaving him shaking his head with helplessness.

    Feeling Amy''s scrutinizing gaze, Myne turned to look at her. Thinking about how his workload had increased because of her, and knowing he still had to brush a lot of favorability points before he could even consider wooing this last elf princess, Myne stood up, grabbed Amy''s hand, and walked toward the backyard, ignoring her protests.

    "Hey! What are you doing? Let go, or I''ll tell Sister Aisha that you have bad thoughts about me," Amy shouted, struggling against Myne''s grip. She had long anticipated this moment and immediately began resisting, threatening him in Aisha''s name. After living with him for so long, she knew Myne was terrified of his wives and didn''t dare to act recklessly under their watchful eyes.

    Originally, he had wanted to stay with Hanaha and spend some quality time with his only child''s mother. But when he woke up morning, he found himself alone in the house. Everyone had left for a picnic, leaving him a note in which Hanaha apologized and explained that she needed some time alone with her family to tell them about their relationship and his child. Although she wanted to bring him along, she decided to face them alone and happily abandoned him.

    Having nothing else to do, Myne could only return home helplessly and remotely control his clone to do Garnet''s task and pass the time.

    ...

    "Huh? Where are Tina and Mina, and the carriage? F*ck, how did I end up in such a creepy place? What the hell did this damn clone do in an hour that everything disappeared and I ended up here?"

    As Myne opened his eyes in his clone body, ready to embrace Twis in his arms and exchange some love, he found himself standing in the middle of an unknown road sandwiched between two gigantic walls. An eerie atmosphere surrounded him. The bright sun on top of him had mysteriously vanished, and the sky had turned into an inky darkness covered with clouds.

    Even with the help of his night vision, he could only see within a 100-meter radius. Beyond that was just darkness, like the mouth of a monster waiting to devour him. Behind him, there was supposed to be a path, but now it was replaced by a giant wall that stretched endlessly upward just like both walls on his left and right.

    Suddenly, a cold wind blew from the front, making him shiver. Thankfully, he knew deep down that he was in a clone body and was absolutely safe, so he wasn''t scared too much. After a few minutes of adapting and confirming that there were no enemies nearby, he took a deep breath and moved forward.

    Things went much smoother than Myne had expected. Along the way, no weird ghosts or monsters came to take his life. Except for the eerie silent atmosphere and the occasional bone-chilling cold wind, everything else was normal. As time went on, he became bolder. Since he was already prepared to explore the Canyon, this time he chose the Teleportation, Fireball, and Double Jump skills for the clone. After all, in the Canyon, it was normal for him to need to climb higher places, and the Double Jump skill was perfect for this.

    So, after seeing that there was no danger around him, he continuously used the double jump to climb the wall around him. Once he got on top of the canyon, he could at least pinpoint his approximate location. However, it didn''t take long for his expression to darken. Even after jumping for nearly 15 minutes, reaching nearly 1000 meters high in the sky, and using 80% of his mana, he still couldn''t see the end of the walls.

    "Damn it, another goddamned weird place," Myne cursed annoyingly, feeling that he was running out of mana. He grudgingly opened a portal under his feet and returned to the ground.
