"Wait, when did you become so mischievous?"

After realizing what was happening, Xiao Han exclaimed warily, "The so-called Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin didn't actually exist, right? You tricked me into giving you a mystery gift and didn't even say thank you for your patronage. You're no better than Tang Gou."

"Ding, congratulations on your enhanced privileges. The speaker's buff function is now officially activated."

Under Xiao Han's indignant condemnation, the "weak and helpless" rebellious system compromised and handed over the chosen item.

The sound system currently has two background music tracks. One is a mocking erhu played by a sentient being, which makes you want to punch it, and it also has a touch of playfulness.

The other song is the opening theme of "Animal World". Once this background music starts, targets within a certain range lose their sight and a series of confusing images of animals pop up.

With the buff, Xiao Han believed that the awakening buff's sound effects would create a whirlwind, with all sorts of dazzling and chaotic sounds, like a madman dancing wildly!

"Sir, there's a situation ahead."

Just as Xiao Han was selecting a high-level item, Khrushchev, riding a shadow wolf, transmitted his voice from the window.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Han stopped what he was doing and looked out the window.

...

Inside a spacious hall, the building is constructed of fine timber, and a specially designed fireplace provides ample heat to keep the interior warm.

In the head seat, a graceful and beautiful young woman tossed a strand of her long hair aside, rubbed her sore shoulders, picked up a glass of lemonade from the table, and took a small sip amidst the horrified gazes of the crowd.

Her pink lips glistened with moisture, and a confident smile graced her delicate and beautiful face. She could drink the juice squeezed from the fruit with a light heart, regarding it as a refreshing tonic.

In the inner hall, seated in the chief seat was none other than Minise, the current head of the Tulip family, the ruler of the Dark Raven Guild, and whose identity was implicitly assumed to be the deputy city lord of Titan City.

Within three days of Xiao Han's departure, she launched her hidden plan within the cabinet, which consisted of 60% of her people.

She wielded immense power, and after Xiao Han left, she took control of the city's power, making her second only to the emperor.

But the higher she sat, the more perilous the situation facing Titan City became, and the more efficiently she revitalized the city's infrastructure.

The expansion of the alchemy workshop, the blocking of information about the Demon King, the rectification of the exploitation by the powerful, and the restoration of the human rights of the slaves...

Xiao Han directly assigned all the tasks to her, and she formulated them so that the cabinet members below could carry them out step by step. It can be said that Minise has made a huge contribution to Titan City's rapid prosperity.

"That concludes the main points of the meeting. Meeting adjourned."

After finishing a whole glass of lemonade, she walked out of the cabinet hall amidst awe-inspiring and wary gazes.

Although Minnie Mouse practically ruled the cabinet, she never made the slightest mistake. Even the opposing parties, who were dissatisfied and supported by the fox, had to admit that Minnie Mouse was the prime minister.

However, due to the city lord's secret instructions, they attempted to seize power but were defeated time and again in their attacks, ending up in a rather embarrassing situation.

"Normally, the Prime Minister would say a few more words, but this time..."

"Can't you see that? You call yourself a gentleman? The Prime Minister is clearly concerned about the city lord!"

"Yes, really? But, to drink a cup of arsenic water in one go, you truly live up to your title as Prime Minister."

After Minnie left, everyone calmed down and started talking to each other.

After all, Minnie's aura was too aloof, and her personal charm was off the charts; she was a natural leader.

"Smack!"

A girl in a light blue dress walked out of the city lord's mansion. She touched her pointed ears, which were hidden under her flaxen hair. Her jade eyes revealed a hint of fatigue.

What's exhausting isn't just dealing with Titan City's internal affairs, but also the uncertainty about the future.

The streets were renovated, and the newly built houses were of guaranteed quality under White Fang's supervision. After all, this was related to the performance of White Fang and his construction team, and performance equals bonuses, salaries, and the little fox sage's favor. The construction team of thousands of members went into full swing, transporting various building materials to build more sturdy and comfortable houses.

"Mother!"

Beside a newly built wooden house, a woman was carrying a basket of wild mushrooms she had picked, along with rabbit meat distributed by the logistics department, and was leading a little girl home.

The girl was twelve years old, beautiful and pretty, holding the woman's hand and showing a pure smile.

During the war of the demon invasion, her family was safe and sound. Currently, her father is honorably involved in the city's construction and is an excellent cement craftsman. Meanwhile, the woman embarks on her journey home to prepare a sumptuous dinner for her husband and reward the pillar of the family.

For a moment, Minnie froze. She watched as the girl skipped along, playing and running, until she and the woman disappeared into the cabin. After a moment of stunned silence, she looked away and, under the awe-inspiring gazes of the construction crew who had discovered her, went alone to a secluded spot.

Cemetery.

To be precise, it is a private cemetery of the tulip family, where the ancestors of the tulip family are buried.

Beneath the blooming petals of a wisteria vine, rich magical patterns circulate, drawing energy from the void to maintain the wisteria's bloom throughout the year.

The tidy cemetery was clearly the result of a purification magic circle in operation. Minnie gracefully walked to a tombstone with her skirt slightly lifted, inscribed with the name of a beloved person.

Mila Béla Christina.

A pure-blooded Silver Moon Elf, once a noble lady of the Elven race, left behind a wealth of soul-bound items for her daughter, which is proof of this.

"Mom...I've come to see you."

The girl smiled faintly, a forced smile playing on her lips.

Seemingly sensing the return of an acquaintance, the wisteria vines swayed, and countless crystal petals fluttered down, making the beautiful girl even more charming and captivating.

She stretched out her slender, snow-white hand and gently touched the moss-covered tombstone, a hint of remembrance in her eyes.

Then, a petal landed on the back of her hand, the soft touch seeming like a mother's comfort, reminding her not to be so sad, but to live well and find the way to happiness.

Minise hesitated for a moment, recalling Francis's final fate, in which he lived happily ever after with the shy Mirabella in another world.

Although this was merely a hallucination born from his father's impending death and a mixture of resentment and regret, it was also his most beautiful emotion.

Therefore, after the girl left, her emerald green eyes concealed her sorrow, shining brightly like a fleeting moment of beauty.

Petals fluttered down from the sky, and a short sword lay before the smooth tombstone.

Although the sword was broken, it was repaired in another way.

May you be reunited and in love in another world, my dearest family.
