"Sir, this is a misunderstanding!"
The knight captain's face was stiff. His helmet, shattered in two by the previous sword flash, fell to the ground with a thud.
Beneath the armor, a terrified face was revealed.
"Oh, so what's the misunderstanding?"
Xiao Han smiled calmly, holding Anna wrapped in a bath towel in his arms. The latter was buried in his chest, her face flushed with a blush, not daring to look up, and her two pale golden wolf ears stood up abruptly.
“I don’t believe you came in here to check the water meter. If you don’t provide a reasonable explanation, according to the order of Titan City, I have the right to put you in jail and await trial.”
Xiao Han said indifferently, Yan Ya's blade remained on the knight captain's neck, leaving a bloody mark, and the spreading lightning flames made the skin faintly charred.
Upon hearing this, the Knights captain's expression stiffened even more.
The little fox's ruthless methods had already become widely known in Titan City.
Especially the rumors of traversing the wasteland and crushing all enemies have made the little fox's ferocious image even more imposing. Who in Titan City would dare to provoke the little fox?
As is well known, Little Fox has established a complete assembly line house raiding service with house raiding as its core and multiple methods as auxiliary means.
If he has a moment of madness and gets targeted by the little fox, by the time he finishes his sentence, he'll have lost his home and be living a life of hardship and uncertainty...
"It's like this, sir. One of our Tulip buildings exploded, and... many people are saying it's related to you, Little Fox..."
"Huh?! How did this get involved? I was just taking a nice bath, what does this have to do with me?"
"Regarding the cemetery and sewer incidents back then, sir..."
"Heh, according to your line of thinking, then I was also the mastermind behind the bombing of the Gubang family half a month ago?"
Xiao Han said indifferently, with an inexplicable sense of self-righteousness.
The one that blew up the Gubang family was a self-destructing tree spirit. He only accidentally fed it a handful of dirt, so he was at most an accomplice!
Besides, the bombing of the Tulip Family tonight has absolutely nothing to do with him.
"No, sir, that's not what I meant. We were ordered by our superiors to come here only to interrogate... and to offer our greetings. You are only a minor suspect, sir."
Xiao Han frowned, staring at the knight captain, his dark eyes revealing a layer of blood-red light.
The next moment, a column of favorability appeared above the Knight Captain's head.
Affection level: -30 (Fear)
Seeing this, Xiao Han was surprised. He felt that the friendly little fox always valued harmony and should not make others afraid. It was too impolite.
So he sheathed his sword, his other hand still tightly holding Anna's slender waist, her delicate body pressed close to his chest.
He turned his head and checked the favorability ratings above the group of trembling, uneasy knights.
Favorability rating: -8 (trembling with fear)
Favorability rating: -5 (trembling with fear)
Affection level: -15 (trembling with fear)
Favorability rating: -10 (trembling with fear)
Xiao Han: "..."
He was a refined, easygoing, and indifferent-to-fame fox who always adhered to the principles of honesty and friendliness; there was absolutely no way he could cause these knights to be afraid.
The source of their fear is quite clear: perhaps the earlier explosion terrified these novice knights.
Tsk tsk, look at the insignia on his armor. As a knight of the Tulip family, he's so timid. He gets scared by the slightest noise. What's the difference between him and a rabbit?
"Brother, why is the little fox looking at us like that? His eyes are so strange."
"Well, maybe he thinks that it's a waste of his energy to raid our homes since we're a bunch of poor bastards."
"...That seems to make some sense."
Several knights who noticed the hint of pity in Xiao Han's eyes twitched at the corners of their mouths, but for some reason, they couldn't feel happy.
"Since it's a misunderstanding, then you should leave, but don't do it again..."
"boom!!"
Just as Xiao Han was issuing a serious warning, the bathhouse suddenly trembled violently, the earthquake-like commotion immediately putting everyone on high alert.
"Oh no! Could someone be taking advantage of this to launch an attack?!"
The knight captain reacted quickly, turning his gaze to Xiao Han: "Little Fox, we have urgent business to attend to, so we'll take our leave now."
"Okay, have a safe trip."
Xiao Han nodded, watching the group of knights flee in panic, deeply impressed by how reliable the knights trained by his family were in terms of loyalty.
"Okay, let's continue, Anna."
As Xiao Han spoke, the cool girl in his arms fell asleep in his warm embrace.
"It seems that she was overworked and exhausted."
Xiao Han held her and placed her on a waterbed, wrapping Anna's naked, snow-white body in a bathrobe.
He stared at Anna's floating favorability rating and was slightly surprised.
Affection level: +13 (Friendly)
"boom!"
Another earthquake-like shockwave swept through, causing the entire magical bathhouse to tremble once more. If it weren't for the magic array underneath stabilizing it, the renowned bathhouse in Titan City would have collapsed after a few more such incidents.
What happened outside?
Xiao Han narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked in surprise.
He returned to the bath, brushed his long, black hair aside, and soaked in the magical hot spring again.
The pure, clear water has a good therapeutic effect on hair, so there's no need to worry about damaging your hair.
Her snow-white skin revealed a pinkish hue, and the powerful blood and qi within her body circulated slowly. The silver-white demonic energy flowed in a cyclical manner throughout her limbs and bones, nourishing all her organs.
But being as cautious as an old dog, he took out the Mirror of Truth to investigate the situation outside.
"Ding, version 2.1 pervert... The Mirror of Truth is at your service..."
Xiao Han: "..."
...
The bamboo grove sways in the breeze, and a clear pool of water glistens with light.
The surrounding area features smooth, translucent stones, creating a unique and charming atmosphere.
"Finally, I can clean it all in peace."
A young girl draped in a light veil untied her light armor, raised her long, taut legs, and placed her fair feet on a stone before sinking into the warm spring of life.
The Fountain of Life, a treasure of the Elven race, contains abundant life potential. Regularly soaking in it increases the probability of awakening that potential.
Moreover, it has unexpected effects on injury repair.
Minise remained calm as she immersed herself in the Fountain of Life, her body and mind relaxed, a surge of powerful magical energy coursing through her.
The bright moonlight illuminated the void, casting a layer of moonlight on fair, jade-like skin, making it shimmer with a pure, luminous glow.
A beauty under the moon, as radiant as the moon itself.
Her long hair cascaded down, and her beautiful eyes, clear as autumn water, flashed with a hint of emerald light.
