Chapter 905: Chapter 54 The Soul of the Minotaur Blazes Fiercely

At twilight, Luo En said goodbye to Scouty, Scadi, and Yemengade–two people and a cat, and returned to the Guild-provided lodging for his team.

As soon as he entered, a brown-haired, red-eyed canine creature dashed out of the house like a gust of wind, giving him a sniff-over before disdain showed in its eyes:

“Reeking of women’s perfume, where have you been fooling around?”

“Just met some acquaintances on the way, does the Guild Leader really need to ask about that?”

“Forget it, no point in asking. You won’t tell me anyway.”

Heluo waved her hand disinterestedly, plopped herself down on half her backside on the dining table, and casually took an apple from the fruit plate to chew on.

Looking at Heluo’s dusty bare feet, and the thin nightgown with shoulder straps almost slipping off, Luo En frowned involuntarily:

“You are, after all, the Guild [Leader], the Wise Wolf who manages [Fertility] and [commerce], you should at least pay some attention to your image.”

Heluo rolled her eyes at Luo En and continued doing whatever she pleased:

“I won’t ask what you’re doing, so don’t meddle in my affairs.”

Having eaten one apple, Heluo seemed not yet satisfied, and simply picked up the fruit plate, tasting the snacks while hopping across the bedroom’s desks and chairs, and even jumping onto Luo En’s bed several times, leaving behind a trail of dirty footprints.

Luo En watched, veins throbbing and blood pressure skyrocketing, his hands itching unbearably.

If he stayed any longer, he might really be unable to restrain himself from disciplining this Wolf Lady, or simply pinning her down on the bed and giving her a hundred lashes.

“Seems like the Guild Leader enjoys this place very much, then I won’t disturb you.”

Luo En found an excuse and turned to leave.

And watching Luo En’s departing figure, and the fist unconsciously tightened in his sleeve, Heluo finished the last bite of her apple, her eyes revealing a playful smirk.

~~

After many twists and turns, he arrived at a secluded courtyard.

Hoping to relax his nerves in this quiet environment, Luo En didn’t expect that someone had already beaten him to it.

“Miss Belle? You’re here, too?”

Belldandy closed the manuscript in her hands and looked up at Luo En at the door.

“Lord Luo En, what a coincidence?”

“Stop with the formalities, from now on we’re companions, it’s better to drop these courtesies.”

“Alright, as you wish.”

Belldandy smiled and nodded her head, then gestured for Luo En to sit down in the pavilion, casually inquiring,

“How is it going? Any leads on [Dragon Disaster] investigation recently?”

Know your enemy and know yourself, and you will never be defeated. Her purpose this time was to prevent the man in front of her from discovering the truth and to regain her own freedom.

Due to bumping into her younger sister Scouty yesterday, the tailing was abandoned, and she had no idea how far Luo En had advanced with the matter, and could only ask face-to-face to fill in the blanks in information.

Luo En sipped the floral tea in his cup, pondering aloud:

“As far as I know, the [Dragon Disaster] and [Dragon Disease] are likely related to the initial gold mining operations, so I want to find the person in charge of the first gold mining and the identities of the first batch of miners, to validate some of my speculations.”

“Did you find them?”

“Not yet; I ran into some trifles during the day and got held up by accident.”

Luo En was somewhat frustrated.

Seeing the expression on the opposite side, Belldandy spontaneously suggested:

“How about I join you tomorrow? I’ve been to Turin City a few times and am quite familiar with the area. Plus, to access some more confidential archives, one needs the Guild’s permission.”

“Great, let’s go together tomorrow morning!”

Luo En promptly decided on the itinerary for the next day, and even unconsciously grabbed Belldandy’s hand in his excitement.

Skin touching skin, an indescribable electric sensation transmitted from the point of contact to each other, activating deeper emotions; with their eyes locked, the gazes became dreamy and passionate, the air around them heated up inexplicably.

“Cough…”

A low cough came from outside the door. Rose, switched to Evil God form, leaned against the door frame, her gaze teasing as she looked at the two people hand-in-hand in the courtyard.

With the presence of this third-wheel, the ambiguous atmosphere surrounding them scattered instantly. Belldandy was the first to snap out of it, hurriedly withdrawing her hand from Luo En’s grasp, and stood up awkwardly, saying:

“You two go ahead and talk, we’re departing in two days, I need to prepare some Magic Potions in advance.”

Watching Belldandy’s figure disappear into the night, Rose turned her head, her face showing teasing sarcasm:

“So you like this style? Dragging a decent woman into the water?”

“Crack!”

Right after she finished speaking, a clear sound of bone breaking came from her right hand, and a surge of intense pain flooded her mind.

Rose clutched her floppy wrist like a noodle, looking at what was ahead with horror.

Beneath the pavilion, Luo En remained calm as he drank tea, lightly asking:

“So, did you come here just to say this?”

Rose, enduring the pain, quickly shook her head.

Although this new superior was kind and seldom punished subordinates without cause, this did not mean she could overstep without limits.

With her mind clearing up amidst the pain, Rose didn’t dare to talk nonsense any longer and stated her purpose directly:

“When Celebrian, Xili, and I went out to purchase supplies today, we ran into the Elf Three Kings again, and almost got in a fight with them over some harsh words.”

“The Light Elf Race is really not making any progress.”

Luo En shook his head, his impression of those Light Elves sinking even lower.

Civilizations of the Longevity Species often have several downsides that are easy to encounter: rigid social classes, lack of initiative, and an inflated sense of self…
