Xiao Hua clearly wasn’t willing to help Xiao Hua before, but now she felt a bit regrettable and it was like she was worried that Lin Xiao would be in danger without her help.
But, she could still help Lin Xiao with the last mission, it was just to investigate a couple of people, so she would surely give him an answer he’s satisfied with.
And like that, Xiao Hua took the mission and disappeared, and Lin Xiao and Elena also set off.
Once they arrived, Yao Zi and Xiao Tian were already waiting there as expected. After the four joined up, they officially headed off toward the front lines.
According to the original plan, Claire was going to lead a group of officials to formally sending off, but because of what Lin Xiao discovered, the king still wasn’t in a good state and Claire was still busy with taking care of it, so she couldn’t see him off.
But that was better for Lin Xiao, if it was too formal, it would be too troublesome and he wouldn’t be used to it.
But when they were about to leave, a group of people wearing white robes suddenly came from behind!
Lin Xiao didn’t pay them any mind and just thought they were passing by. As their carriages were going very fast, so they could only move aside to let them pass, but when their head carriage passed by, they suddenly turned around and stopped right in front of them, sandwiching their carriage between them!
“What is this? A robbery?”
Lin Xiao was startled and quickly stopped the carriage.
Stopping a carriage in the middle of the day, wasn’t this too brazen? Were these killers sent by the enlightenment society?
It shouldn’t be, Nick had already completely disappeared and Snow already cleaned up all the remaining dregs, so how could there be so many people to block him?
Lin Xiao and them were vigilantly watching the carriages, while they simply just stopped there blocking their way, like they were waiting for something.
“I say, what’s the meaning of this? Although I’m not religious, but I’m very respectful towards the Goddess! It would be even better if she had blonde hair, blue-eyes and was big breasted… Hm, it would be even better if she was wearing a semi-transparent high-cut dress, then pour something strange over her body, find a couple of mercenaries to perform and shoot a love film… hehe!”
Lin Xiao was getting impatient and quietly muttered, at that time, they suddenly moved to let that little girl through.
“Tsk, tsk… that’s pretty bold of you, my perverted brother! If those old codgers at the Holy city heard those blasphemous words, they would burn you on the stake!”
“It was you as expected, you could hear from even that far away, what good hearing.”
“Hmph, of course! But… what you described sounded pretty nice!”
“You think so?”
“Of course, we should find some time to try it!”
“Nice idea! But… who do we get to play the Goddess?”
“Your maid Elena! She’s so beautiful and totally fits as the Goddess, then you’ll be the head of the mercenaries and you’ll tie her home and wantonly violate her until she obeys you! The title will be called ‘Picked up a Goddess to be a Maid’, how does that sound?”
“Woah, not bad, that’ll definitely be popular! Snow, you’re a genius at films! I… ah! Owww… Elena, d-don’t pinch me!”
As Lin Xiao and Snow were getting into it, Lin Xiao suddenly felt a sharp pain from his waist and realized that Elena was blushing while using her ‘paws’ to pinch his love handles.
“So Snow, why are you here?”
“Hehe, to see you off!”
“See me off?”
“Right! You might not return… sob, sob, what a sad tragedy, so how can no one come to see you off? So I came!”
“Damn brat, did you come to see me off, or pay your final respects? Why do you make it seem like I’m about to die… I’m still perfectly fine!”
“But I’m worried, why are you so mean, I’m sad! Sob, sob, sob…”
“Eh the way you fake cry is so disgusting… speak properly! Snow, you had something you needed me for, right?”
“Hehe, I really can’t hide anything past you.”
“So, what do you need?”
“It’s about this time’s mission.”
Snow knew that Lin Xiao’s real goal was to finish Nick and retrieve the holy sword to heal ShenDai Ying’s leg, so it involved the holy light church.
“They’re using the holy sword’s spirit to create the black cores, so they very likely have contaminated the holy sword, that means we would have to baptize it and return it to the ‘top of the light’ to be nourished by the stars and the moon, so that it can become the hero’s weapon again.”
“So, what do I need to do?”
“It’s simple, don’t give it to anyone or use it after getting the sword, I’ll send someone to help you protect and transport it back to the city first, create the medicine for ShenDai Ying and then send it to the holy city.”
“That’s no problem, I’ll remember!”
“Hm… I actually wanted to go with you, but you’re setting off as a negotiator that the representative king is directly responsible for and I don’t outrank that tomboy, so I can’t easily interfere.”
“That’s fine, we’re enough… but Snow, why do you sound so jealous?”
“Hmph, of course! I never expected you to get so close with Claire, I even heard that you were personally summoned by the king… it can’t be that he also took a liking to you and is going to take you in as a son-in-law, right?”
“Eh? H-how did you know that the king wanted to engaged us? You’re not Xiao Hua, so how would you know?”
“I obviously didn’t, I was just guessing.”
“Hah? Guessing?”
“Yes, I never expected it… to be true!?” Snow ran over and grabbed Lin Xiao’s pants and pulled downwards, almost taking it off, “Stinking brother, tell me! How far have you two gotten!?”
“Ah, c-calm down, we haven’t gotten anywhere!”
“Them why are you getting engaged?”
“We’re not, I rejected it!”
“I don’t believe you! Stinking brother, you already have Elena and ShenDai Ying, I won’t let you get any more women!”
“Who is!”
Lin Xiao was getting a headache, so he could only grab her arm and pick her up and then embrace her to comfort her.
“But… you brat, don’t think I don’t know! You were purposely annoying me so you can get into my arms, right!”
“Hehe, what’s wrong with that?” Snow curled up in his arms and rubbed her head against him, then muttered, “Brother, I’m sorry.”
“Why the sudden apology?”
“Hm… because of my bad attitude from before, I didn’t want you to get involved and even said that I wanted to compete with you and if you lost I would lock you in Winterless City… sorry, I was too arrogant, please d-don’t be angry!”
“Ah? Did that happen?”
If Snow didn’t remind him, he would have already forgotten.
“It’s fine, don’t worry, I already forgot about it.”
“N-no! Even if you forgot, I still remember!”
“Then what do you want to do about it?”
“In order to apologize, I brought someone!” Snow jumped off the carriage and returned to Elona and waved towards the crowd behind her.
“Someone? … Who?”
Lin Xiao looked towards the parting group of people and saw her!
“Eh? S-sister Ying? Why are you here?”
