A Welcome at the City Gates

With Flamme temporarily stepping down as president, Serie, as her mentor, took over. The Magic Continent Association continued to operate smoothly, even developing more rapidly than before.

Whether in terms of magic or in handling matters with straightforwardness, Serie is more experienced than Flamme, and can easily solve many problems with magic.

"Can I rest easy now, Godmother?"

Li Yan raised an eyebrow. Just like in the anime, Serie was a master at handling the Magic Continent Association, far better than his own half-baked skills. Moreover, as Flamme's mentor, her powerful Mana and ruthless methods left none of the magicians in the Magic Continent Association with any objections.

"Hmm... It's all your fault. If you hadn't been so persistent and hardworking lately, I wouldn't have given you such bad advice while heavily pregnant, making my master, an old lady who has seen through everything, busy with work every day."

Thinking of her master, Serie's, impatient face when she went to work every day and her ecstatic smile when she left, Flamme couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.

"Relax, relax. Our Grandmaster should have gotten some experience a long time ago. Wouldn't it be better if she became the president of the Magic Continent Association sooner rather than later? Anyway, we'll have to hand it over to her eventually."

Li Yan approached Flamme with a grin, his restless hands wrapping around Flamme slender waist. When he felt it wasn't enough, he rested his head on her long, black-stockinged legs, listening to the sounds of his child growing up.

"That's true, anyway, it'll have to be handed over to our master sooner or later."

A smile appeared on Flamme's face. A Yan had hit the nail on the head. Human life is short. By the time she died, Frieren would probably not have grown into the person she wanted to be. Only her master, Serie, could uphold the banner of the Magic Continent Association.

The moonlight was enchanting, but the sudden arrival of the army disrupted the peace of the Wigster City Town. When the guard came to report that Lionheart Earl had arrived, Li Yan hurriedly dressed and went to the City Gate to greet him.

With a complicated expression, Flamme changed into a long dress and followed behind Li Yan somewhat helplessly. You see, A Yan's mother was her best friend, and now that they were meeting again, she didn't know what to do. She could only angrily and gently punch Li Yan's back.

At the City Gate, Lionheart Earl looked at Li Yan, who was hurrying over, with a look of satisfaction. Even though he was in his territory these days, he had heard rumors about the Wigster City Town from various places.

There's Food Street unlike anything else in the entire Kingdom, with delicious drinks, tasty fried chicken, flavorful barbecue, and all sorts of other things. Not only that, the Wigster Kingdom also has all kinds of magical items, and you can even enjoy ice cream and iced milk tea in the summer.

Moreover, Wigster City is exceptionally safe, not only because it has a massive Barrier Magic, but also because it is patrolled 24 hours Mechanical Magic Puppets with steel bodies, and is guarded by mages from the Magic Continent Association Branch. Neither Monsters nor Demons can enter the city, making it one of the safest towns in the Kingdom.

"Yan'er, when will you hold a grand wedding with the woman you love? By the way, I haven't seen what the woman you love looks like yet. Let your father take a look for you."

"Yes, I've been looking forward to having Mother take a look at your case for a long time."

"Brother, I want to see it too."

Just as Li Yan was about to formally introduce her beloved Godmother, Flamme, to her family members who were looking at her with expectant eyes, her mother looked behind Li Yan with surprise.

"Flamme, you're here too. Of course, as Yan'er's mentor and Godmother, you should naturally come and offer your blessings."

"Uh... um... that's right... that's it..."

Flamme responded awkwardly, lowering her head somewhat embarrassedly and looking at Li Yan with a pleading expression in her eyes.

Your stomach?

"Oh, you, Flamme, you're already so pregnant, aren't we still best friends? You didn't even tell me which wild man stole the heart of our Magic Continent Association president."

The Earl's wife spoke jokingly, a smile playing on her lips. She was also exceptionally happy for her best friend, for this extraordinary woman who had dedicated her life to magic had finally found her own love.

"Um... I was just about to tell you today."

Flamme smiled apologetically, then glared at Li Yan with a hint of reproach.

"Then I'll have to see what kind of extraordinary man could capture the heart of our Magic Continent Association's president."

The Earl's wife peered around with a gossipy look on her face.

Li Yan blinked, and listening to his mother's words, he couldn't help but swallow. He had originally planned to give a warm introduction, but he was a little hesitant to speak.

Li Yan felt somewhat innocent about Flamme's reproachful gaze. He had originally intended to speak up, but after his mother's words about wild men and extraordinary men, he dared not utter a sound.

Lionheart Earl looked around with interest, but didn't see the woman Li Yan liked behind him. He only saw Xiao Wu, Xiao Xue, and that Little Fool, a Demons, following behind Li Yan.

"Yan'er, where is that girl you like?"

Upon hearing the Lionheart Earl's question, Li Yan glanced shyly at Flamme, who was chatting with her mother with her head down.

"Indeed, where is Yan'er's sweetheart?"

The Earl's wife looked around curiously, while Flamme kept her head down, not daring to make a sound. Li Yan secretly glanced in Flamme's direction but remained silent.

"Mother, Father, let's go back to the Castle first. I'll introduce you properly later." Li Yan looked at Flamme, who wasn't ready yet, with a sly smile.

"Is she shy? Well, she is a girl after all. Before the wedding, she really shouldn't be welcoming us so openly."

The Earl's wife covered her mouth and laughed, her anticipation for her daughter-in-law growing ever stronger.

"I'm really looking forward to it. Ever since the day we set off, your mother has been asking what kind of woman could capture my genius son's heart." Lionheart Earl smiled. He was extremely eager to see his daughter-in-law, as it was related to the birth of his grandson.
