Across the table, the girl smiled faintly, calm and composed.
The girl wasn't good at dressing up, but her pretty face, without any makeup, was like a blooming jasmine. Her long, flaxen hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall, and her eyes were narrowed into crescent moons. Her rather conservative and pure moon-white dress only revealed her slender waist, and her light figure was like a fluttering feather.
She sat quietly to one side, waiting for the boy in front of her to give a reasonable explanation.
What are your plans next?
Minnie, holding a silver spoon, stirred the teacup and said.
Xiao Han was taken aback: "What do you mean, how do I do it? Could it be... that you know my core plan to produce strawberry ice cream?"
Minise looked into his eyes, a hint of seriousness in her expression, and asked, "Once winter is over, which lord do you plan to target?"
Xiao Han's eyes narrowed, gleaming: "Why should I wage war against lords?"
"If the fifth demon king, who has smuggled himself in from afar, doesn't expand his power and exploit resources, won't the demon god behind him be enraged?"
"How did you know I was the Demon King? Shouldn't you be the fifth Demon King?"
Minise smiled, took a sip of tea, and said calmly, "I pose no threat to you. In fact, I can help you ascend to the throne of the Lord of the North without reservation. You can tell me your secret thoughts; I will never betray you."
Is this my response to your request to stay?
After a moment of silence, Xiao Han slowly said, "Miss Minnie, your self-righteous attitude of thinking you're in control is really annoying."
As she finished speaking, Minnie's smile turned cold, and a chill flashed in her beautiful eyes: "If you don't like me, why bother trying to keep me? What I need is trust, not suspicion."
"If you dare to appoint me as prime minister, I will certainly do my best to make the most of every resource and help Titan City grow stronger."
"Only when the city grows strong can it conquer all directions for you, sweep across the land, and establish a vast territory, giving me a sense of accomplishment worthy of my loyalty."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Han's expression remained unchanged as he stared at Minnie, a hint of doubt in his eyes.
Affection level: +45 (Closeness)
Is this... a sudden transformation into a loyal subject?
The girl stood up, stared at Xiao Han, hesitated slightly, and finally bit her lip before making a decision.
She turned around, a magical barrier sealing off the surroundings. Her slender hand landed on her shoulder, lifting the fabric, and her moon-white dress fell away, revealing her rounded, fragrant shoulders, fair and delicate.
Xiao Han: "..."
I'm familiar with this plot!
To show his loyalty, we want him to have the four characters "Serve the country with utmost loyalty" written on his back, right?!
Her long dress slipped down, revealing her flawless, snow-white back, as white as jade, with soft skin. But there was a blood-red glint in her eyes, and the pale red patterns intertwined like leaf veins, like a few blooming petals, stunningly beautiful, yet exuding an ominous aura.
"The origin of the Gluttony Demon God."
Meeting Minnie's slightly cold gaze, Xiao Han pondered for a moment and then spoke.
"You should understand that in the gods' scheme, we are all just pawns, and the best way to survive is to stick together and keep warm."
Minise put her dress back on, her pretty face remaining calm, and said solemnly, "Due to my father's experiments, I possess a portion of the Demon King's bloodline and have potential no less than that of a transcendent gold-rank expert. If it weren't for your interference, this city would have been the opportunity for my rise."
"The power of the Demon King is not so easy to control," Xiao Han shook his head and said.
"Yes, as the days went by, I planned to use my father's backup plan to eliminate this hidden bomb, but I found that it was becoming more and more... powerful, and even affecting my consciousness."
Minise frowned and said, "If this problem isn't solved, even if I travel to the North, it will bring unnecessary trouble."
“The worst-case scenario is that my consciousness is transformed, and I replace the Gluttony Demon King, becoming a puppet of the demon god.”
"so……"
"I learned from books that there is a pact of alliance between demon kings, which is made by a demon god and has the power of laws that cannot be violated."
Minnie stared at Xiao Han, her clear, bright eyes shimmering with a shimmering, emerald light.
She believed that Xiao Han understood what she meant.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Han was taken aback and gave Minnie a strange look.
"Although I was surprised by your proposal of the King's Covenant, the demon god who invested in me is very busy. I guess my presence is as insignificant as a salted fish, and he wouldn't even bother to pop up."
At this point, Xiao Han's face darkened, and he sighed softly, "What's more, the route to the abyss hasn't even been opened up yet; that demon god has clearly given up on me..."
Minise: "..."
For some reason, she couldn't help but cast a pitying glance at Xiao Han.
"boom!"
Suddenly, Minise's expression changed. She withdrew the magical barrier, and a layer of pale blue ripples passed through her delicate body, suppressing the primal power of the Gluttony Demon God.
Xiao Han immediately stood up, and the invisible flame patterns under his feet appeared and spread all the way.
Flame patterns covered the entire city, with stone chains at its core. This was a large magic array, and Xiao Han could freely move around, transmitting the heat of the sun's potential energy to the whole city.
Moreover, he could control every move in the city. At this moment, in the city center, the orange tree that sold illegal goods burst forth with a powerful life force.
No, to be precise, the space above the sacred tree collapsed, forcibly blasting out a channel from which energy flowed back like a waterfall, causing the surging energy factors to become misty.
"Is it friend or foe? Or is it the work of an extraordinary being from the Golden Path?!"
Xiao Han's expression was somewhat unpleasant. You see, he had unintentionally explored the River of Time under the tree before, and this sudden change seemed to be related to the River of Time.
