Chapter 436: Lanchi's Gift to Boss Cat
Chapter 436: Lanchi's Gift to Boss Cat
A heavy silence fell upon the special cell.
"Leaving the Northern Continent... Are we going to the Southern Continent? The Southern Continent where Talia is?"
Sinora tried to clear her thoughts and asked.
Whenever she thought of Talia now, it felt like she had bitten into a lemon.
She hesitated to pry into Talia's life.
But she couldn't help but want to take a peek.
Even knowing that it would make her feel uncomfortable, not looking might be even more distressing.
"Yes, you can pretty much treat your time on the Southern Continent as a paid vacation. It could be a few months, or as long as three to five years. However, occasionally when the company is short-staffed, you may need to lend a hand, and you will be paid separately for that."
Lanchi paused, considering that this kind of extended vacation would probably be quite reasonable for long-living species.
He decided to bring a few more employees back to Boss Cat's restaurant.
Every time he visited Boss Cat, the restaurant always seemed understaffed.
Now, he had found several capable employees who could lend a hand in the long term, and with sufficient security, Boss Cat would surely be delighted.
"..."
Sinora wondered if her new life would be too leisurely.
She even suspected that she had been thrown into a Demon Tribe trial called [The Gentle Abyss].
Wait, if it were [The Gentle Abyss], then the new king should be a handsome man with black hair and green eyes, not this beautiful girl with the same features.
But the more Sinora looked at the new king, the more attractive she found her. It seemed that true beauty transcended gender and was a blend of one's spirit and demeanor. Even knowing that the new king was female, Sinora found herself growing curious about what she truly looked like...
"Is there something on my face?"
The Great Lover poetically stroked his cheek and murmured to himself.
Earlier, Hyberrian had also glanced at him several times, leaving him puzzled.
Back in school, no one would stare at the principal like that.
"No, no," Sinora realized her rudeness and quickly replied.
Antanas observed this exchange, recalling the earlier conversation between Princess Hyberrian and the new king. She instantly understood the new king's confusion and a slight, trembling smile tugged at her lips.
There seemed to be a subtle undercurrent of emotion between the new king and Princess Hyberrian.
It felt like their relationship had evolved beyond that of simple sisters.
This wouldn't do, Talia would never approve.
Thankfully, the new king's true identity beneath the disguise magic wasn't male, otherwise, there might have been a serious problem between her and Princess Hyberrian.
Antanas' heart was filled with excitement at the moment, eager to leave the prison—
Later, when she was alone with Sinora, they would have a lot to talk about!
"Let's leave the cell now. Remember to run quickly once we're out. Your phantoms are tricky to deal with, and we won't be safe until we reach the exit teleportation hall."
The Great Lover bid farewell to the Patriarch of the Heaven-Defying Sect and then turned to Sinora.
"Okay."
Sinora nodded seriously, and the aura around her changed once again as she returned to being the formidable Demon warrior. She was well aware of the consequences if her phantoms caught up to her.
...
Outside the cell, in the corridor of the Minus Fifth Floor maze, three figures emerged after the Patriarch of the Heaven-Defying Sect had entered the cell and spent some time inside.
High-Latitude Observation Space.
The Ice Snow Witch, who had been glaring at Loren, now fixed her gaze solely on the female intern guard who had reappeared.
She rubbed her eyes.
Although there was no change in appearance, the Ice Snow Witch was certain that the woman with closed eyes and long, straight black hair was none other than Sinora, the Breaker of Laws!
In just over ten minutes, they had switched places again?
How did that guy convince Sinora to sign a slave contract with him?!”
The Ice Snow Witch turned her gaze back to Loren, her expression complicated as she shifted slightly away from him. The more she looked at him, the more he seemed like a mastermind pulling the strings from behind the scenes.
If Talia was with Lanchi and Hyberrian, then she must be in Ikelyte, or even bolder, perhaps she was somewhere near Ikelyte College!
Yet, Loren had never shared this crucial information with her.
Up until now, everything had felt like it was being manipulated by someone, and while Loren appeared to be the most innocent, he was also somehow connected to all the issues.
Could he be plotting to unite the Fate Goddess Church and the Resurrection Church to form a new Chaos Church, gather forces, conquer the world, and become the Holy Emperor?!
On the other side…
“…”
Loren bowed his head even lower, and although he couldn’t make out the Ice Snow Witch’s gaze from the silhouette of the light group, he felt her piercing stare as if she were about to revoke his citizenship.
Even his face-off with Destruction Bishop Ivanoss hadn’t made him feel such deadly pressure.
The only consolation was that if he endured today, it would all be over…
…
Outside Sinora’s special cell in the Minus Fifth Floor of Herrom Prison, the three intern jailers took off running the moment they stepped out.
This was because as soon as Sinora, the Breaker of Laws, left the safe zone of her cell, a phantom of her would immediately appear in the hopelessly desperate battle of the Great Demon Trial, and even if she ran for her life without any intention to fight, her phantom could still beat her up.
When Hyberrian saw the three emerge, she understood the situation and was already prepared. She followed closely behind, carrying the Great Lover and running for it.
In this situation, slowly walking while holding the Great Lover was not going to solve the crisis.
Antanas’ phantom was fine; its attacks couldn’t break through Antanas’ own defense.
But if Sinora’s phantom caught up, and Antanas and Sinora couldn’t hold it off, they would both be slashed to pieces.
As Antanas ran, she watched Sinora and found it hard to imagine how many beatings Sinora must have endured over the years on the Minus Fifth Floor of Herrom Prison.
Upon further thought, her own Minus Fourth Floor was probably better; at least she hadn’t suffered any physical abuse.
“…”
Sinora kept looking back.
Although Sinora felt that the tall girl who had been waiting outside the cell and treated their new king inappropriately, like a skilled human trafficker, the new king herself hadn’t resisted, so naturally, she wouldn’t say anything.
“She’s Efatia’s daughter,” Antanas whispered to Sinora.
“!”
Sinora narrowed her eyes at Antanas, grateful for the reminder.
So it was the Second Princess.
Sinora had always felt that Talia and Efatia’s talents and appearances were completely unlike those of sisters, but they got along very well.
Now it seemed that the two young princesses still had a good relationship.
No, that wasn’t right.
Was Efatia married, too?
What man would dare to marry Efatia? Who would dare to share a bed with Efatia and not fear being stabbed by her in the middle of the night?
Hyberrian looked at the two Great Demons running in front of her in silence.
Although she couldn’t sense the viciousness and cruelty that the Ice Snow Witch had mentioned in Sinora, Hyberrian felt that this Great Demon’s emotions were just as volatile as Antanas’.
They were probably both the type to make Talia angry.
