The atmosphere at the banquet was harmonious, but there was also a fair share of intrigue and backstabbing.
With the heads of various departments gathered together, they naturally wanted to reinforce their image of "loyalty and courage" in front of the city lord, while also smearing their opponents.
For a time, the hall was full of life and energy, with people toasting each other and returning the toast with buckets of liquor. But after choosing sides, they concealed their sharp edges and their words were filled with hidden murderous intent.
But for Xiao Han, the revelation of the favorability rating revealed the unwavering loyalty of this group.
Why maintain such a harmonious relationship? It's all about love and hate, that's how the Demon King's subordinates should get along!
That's how the first group of followers was formed.
This made Xiao Han feel both dazed and gratified.
After all, he would leave all internal affairs to his subordinates in the future, and he could slack off every day, focusing only on cultivation, gradually improving his foundation and strengthening every bit of his power.
His opponents are the three great duchies and the city of Constantinople. Only after becoming the ruler of the North will he be qualified to stand on equal footing with the Demon King of Middle-earth and forge a royal alliance.
Of course, his ultimate goal is to survive the evil god's scheme.
"Uh-huh~"
Anna lowered her eyes and ate a whole crispy chicken by herself, her mouth glistening with oil.
Chosen by her father, she wore a beautiful red dress to attend the banquet. Beside her stood the master of Titan City and the little fox she admired. Yet, despite her dashing appearance, she felt a touch of shyness in front of so many people.
Her exceptional talent for high-level luck made her instantly recognizable to everyone in the military, and she swiftly secured the top position.
Young girls, those who know, know.
"Lord of the City, I am not feeling well, please excuse me."
Suddenly, Minnie put down her knife and fork and stood up.
This scene silenced the discussions in the hall.
"Hiss..."
Immediately, some people who knew the "inside story" gasped, glancing at Anna who had her head down, and then secretly glancing at Xiao Han in the main seat.
A love triangle?
"It's alright, Your Excellency Prime Minister, please go and rest. By the way, there are still empty rooms in the City Lord's Mansion."
Xiao Han nodded slightly and said.
Under his demonic gaze, the girl was surrounded by life potential, and she gained a lot in the cabbage battle.
She was using this opportunity to erase the demonic essence within her, which is why she forced herself to attend this banquet.
This banquet is crucial to the Tulip Clan's political standing in Titan City and to their future plans.
"Thank you for your understanding, Lord City Lord."
Therefore, after receiving Xiao Han's instruction, Minnie hesitated for a moment before finally entering an empty room in the city lord's mansion.
If anything were to happen to her, this demon king could come to her rescue immediately.
"Drink! Let's drink until we're drunk!"
"Ahem, brother, we hit it off immediately. Let me offer you a toast first..."
After Minnie left, the lively atmosphere returned, but with the Prime Minister gone, the Tulip lineage showed signs of decline.
The banquet continued, and everyone secretly observed Xiao Han, their knowing glances leaving Xiao Han bewildered.
His lips twitched, wondering if these people had misunderstood something again.
Half an hour later, Xiao Han's expression changed subtly, and he ended the banquet early.
Astonishment filled the eyes of the crowd as they stared at the mountain of food scraps piled up in front of the main table, their vision completely obscured. They felt that the sage's combat strength was directly proportional to his appetite. Could this be one of the characteristics of a Gold-rank powerhouse?
After a moment of embarrassment, Xiao Han calmly spat out a chicken bone.
As a superior species, it's perfectly reasonable for them to have an appetite comparable to that of dragons...
"Little fox, I will serve you tonight."
Anna, sitting next to me, tossed her golden hair, her wolf ears perked up, and her pale red eyes shone brightly as she murmured something.
She raised her small hand and pressed it against her left chest. Her heart skipped a beat, and she wanted to express the feeling she had called "liking".
In an instant, everyone was talking while secretly pricking up their ears, but they were all chased out by the higher-ups of the Little Fox Cult.
"Ahem, you're still young, what are you thinking about all day?"
Xiao Han smiled, wiped his mouth with a towel, and drank his lemon tea.
But the next moment, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, disappearing in an instant.
"She's not young anymore; Anna is already twelve and an adult."
Anna murmured, brushed the hair from her forehead, straightened her body, her chest slightly bulging, and her soft wolf tail swayed.
According to the waitresses at the tavern, this is a way to exude feminine charm.
But the next moment, she felt a warm and comfortable sensation on the top of her head.
Instantly, her pupils contracted as she stared in disbelief at the face so close to hers. A burning passion surged within her, engulfing her fair skin and delicate bones like a raging fire.
"Go back to sleep. I still have things to take care of tonight."
Xiao Han patted Anna's head, giving her a gentle pat, and then told her to go to his room, his eyes looking rather strange.
This girl probably soaked in the hot spring too long; she's a bit dazed and confused.
Therefore, tomorrow's training needs to be doubled, and some homework needs to be assigned before leaving. As guards, they also need to study math, physics, and chemistry well.
Learning should begin with young girls.
...
In the dimly lit room, the hazy moonlight streamed in through the window, casting slowly wriggling shadows.
"Smack!"
Bright red tentacles coiled on the windowsill, blocking out the moonlight, resembling several thick, ferocious pythons.
In the gloomy and dimly lit room, the girl in the white dress frowned, and her emerald green potential erupted within her body. On one hand, it transformed into several forces to attack the source of the demon god, and on the other hand, it purified the bloodline of the elves to increase her own combat power.
