On Emil's side.
He pulled the cute girl into his arms, but she hugged him tightly. It seems that girls prefer him to look like a stick figure.
"What exactly happened?" he asked, stroking her back.
"I've been so worried these past few days that they'll do something bad to Angela, so worried that they'll punish Father. I'm really afraid something unexpected will happen." Burying her head in Luo Fan's arms, Emil finally voiced her thoughts.
Hiding away might keep you safe, but you still have family and loved ones outside.
“If they really threaten me with my father and sister, I might actually agree to their demands. I’ll leave Huoyu in your care.”
Having spoken her mind, Emily felt much more relaxed, fearing that Luo Fan would punish her.
"You're overthinking it. Angela is working very hard and trying her best to catch up with you. I've already reminded her to protect herself. Besides, with the guild's help, those people won't attack the legion for the time being."
"As for your father, I'll think of a way to have him follow Duke Simmons in the future. The emperor is short of people right now, so giving him an official position shouldn't be a problem."
"Hmm~"
"Your most important thing right now is to focus on your cultivation and stop thinking nonsense. Fire Rain can't do without you. We'll be exploring the Elf Realm together sometime, and you'll be our key member."
"Can I? Ellie is way ahead of me." Emil looked up at the cute stick figure and felt inexplicably at ease.
"Of course you'll be fine. As long as Huo Yu breaks through, your leveling speed will also increase. Ellie is an example of how my breakthrough affected her."
"Okay, I'll do my best. You'll sleep with me tonight."
Luo Fan was speechless. Why were all the girls like this? Daisy on Ellie's side was the same, currently tightly hugging his clone.
Could it be that the girls miss him now after their separation a while ago?
He then sent out clones to find other girls, and their reactions were all similar; they all loved his hugs. Even Fire Rain, flying in the air, excitedly flew around holding his little figure.
I've been so focused on improving their skills and handling my own affairs that I've forgotten to take care of their feelings and spend more time with them.
In short, after all that, almost every girl here ended up hugging the stick figure that Luo Fan had turned into, leaving Gandalf, who was secretly protecting him, completely bewildered.
This slime, does it have to be like this? He's even a little envious.
He used to be a famous traveler, traversing the length and breadth of China, leaving behind many excellent paintings, and calling himself the Immortal Seeker of Beauty.
As a result, the snow woman, water fairy, fox woman, and elf, whom you used to have to travel over mountains and rivers to catch a glimpse of, have all appeared in the same place, and they are all revolving around a slime.
If he hadn't wasted so many years, he would have gone to play in the Demon Sealing Tower long ago.
Once the girls had settled down and gone to sleep or meditate, Luo Fan slipped out and regrouped them, still as a small stick figure.
He came over to Tifa and gently hugged her, waking her up.
"Has no one been bothering you these past few days?"
Tifa seemed to cherish Lofan's embrace, remaining silent for a while before answering his question.
"No, it's been quiet these past two days. Arthur even came to see me; he probably needs to talk to Emil about something."
"Have him go directly to the princess's residence later; I've already spoken to them."
"Hmm~"
"Thank you for your hard work these past few days!"
After he finished speaking, Tifa burst into tears and hugged him tightly.
"If you don't like your current life, you can move to the princess's place and cultivate in peace."
Tifa shook her head, and Lofan could only gently comfort her.
"I don't want to go to the princess's mansion. I prefer my current life, and I'm happy every day. Back then, we were just a level 1 mercenary group, and it was very difficult to operate. Now, in the blink of an eye, we're level 4, and we've gained many good sisters. Thank you, Luo Fan."
Knowing what she was thinking, Luo Fan didn't make things too difficult for her. Only after she calmed down and slowly fell asleep did Luo Fan quietly leave.
The fire in the capital is still not hot enough!
The Southwest Chamber of Commerce's branch has a very clear objective.
On the streets late at night, there were only patrolling guards, and hardly any adventurers could be seen.
Luo Fan moved with the grace of a shadow, like a nocturnal wanderer, concealing his aura and occasionally traversing space to appear in dark corners.
The capital city was too treacherous, so he carefully avoided most of the hotels and bustling taverns, heading towards the Southwest Chamber of Commerce in the west of the city.
According to information Caitlin previously revealed, the conflict between the Southwest Chamber of Commerce and the Temple of Vulcan in the Volcano Underground City has attracted many experts, and now is the perfect time to kill them.
Inside the guild, there were many more patrolling servants, and dense arrays of protective magic were everywhere, probably to prevent anyone from stealing.
This is the largest branch in the capital, with countless resources, so it occupies a very large area.
Bypassing the most heavily guarded area of the Chamber of Commerce, Luo Fan focused his attention on the residential area, where the defenses were much more relaxed.
Following the scent of Paige that he had collected earlier, Luo Fan quickly located his residence: a luxurious-looking guest room. Beside him lay two women, who appeared to have just been through a fierce battle.
After anesthetizing the two women one by one, Luo Fan woke up Paige and gave her some truth serum, the stronger version he had found the night before.
Seeing the bewildered Peiqi, Luo Fan, hidden beneath the robes of the God and Demon Palace, asked the question that concerned him most, only to find that he didn't know much either. Not long after his father banished him to another town, the Southwest Chamber of Commerce contacted him with generous offers.
As for the Claire family, he also sent people to provide assistance, attempting to break down Ellie's defenses through kinship, but it had no effect at all. Instead, it made Xiupi gain the attention of the Chamber of Commerce.
The Claire family provided some research notes, which were highly valued by the Chamber of Commerce, but he didn't know exactly what those notes were.
Marrying Tifa was his own idea, in order to take over their cake business and dismantle Ellie's assets.
After asking him for a long time, until he was drowsy and unable to get any useful information, Luo Fan gave up. He then poured a large amount of dark demonic milk into his mouth before making his escape.
The Southwest Chamber of Commerce attempted to use the Claire family as a springboard to launch a major offensive into Sacred Heart City, and even had Page act as a go-between, which was quite a clever move.
That's Duke Simmons's stronghold over there. Let's give them a heads-up, lest they get too powerful and bully the Ice Cream Squad over there.
It was still in Kerry's room. When the little fat boy was woken up again, he saw his resentful eyes.
Brother, please stop doing this to me every time!
After leaving a letter, Luo Fan disappeared.
After working so hard for so long, it's time to take a break. We've done so much, let's see what kind of reaction will appear on the surface.
Luo Fan transferred his consciousness to Xiao Ling'er's clone, pulled her into his arms, and then began to meditate.
The Duke's Mansion.
Lord Simmons was utterly exasperated by Luo Fan's visits, always choosing such inopportune times. But since that little rascal left a letter, the matter probably wasn't too serious.
I glanced at it and saw that the Southwest Chamber of Commerce was secretly eyeing Sacred Heart City. Going through the city lord's son was understandable, but going after the Claire family? Wasn't that incredibly foolish?
After chatting with the lady for a while, he finally sent a message to the old steward there, and even notified President Joseph to pay attention to the changes in the city market and the Southwest Chamber of Commerce.
Just as he was about to continue meditating, he heard his subordinates' urgent voices from outside.
That bastard, can't he let people rest?!
