Katarina: "This, this is a banana?! Sob, the familiar taste, I haven't eaten a banana in over ten years, Group Owner, I love you!"
Akame: "..."
Maple: "I kind of feel like Sister Katarina is being raised like a monkey."
Ling Yuan: "Don't cry, go Monkey King, keep trying to survive!"
Katarina: "? I'd rather not have encouragement like that!"
Laxus: "Stop, stop, stop, all of you! What about my question?"
"Tsk"
Looking at Laxus's message, Ling Yuan pouted.
He was actually interrupting his monkey show.
Ling Yuan: "The answer is simple, you got beaten, beaten by Natsu until you were spitting teeth, and then expelled from the guild."
Laxus froze.
Looking at the answer in the group chat, he felt a little melancholic, but not surprised.
Given what he had done, his grandfather's personality would indeed lead to his expulsion from the guild.
But when he re-entered the group chat, he was dumbfounded.
Katarina: "I desperately want a memory instance of Laxus getting beaten until he was spitting teeth!"
Akame: "Desperately want!"
Maple: "Desperately want!"
Eighth Princess: "Desperately want!"
Lightning Dragon Slayer: "You bastards! That's enough!"
After a bit of playful banter, Ling Yuan exited the group chat.
This commotion also completely sobered Ling Yuan up.
Ophis, who was lying beside Ling Yuan, opened her eyes and sat up with him.
"Sorry for waking you," Ling Yuan apologized with a smile.
Ophis shook her head.
"Ding dong!"
Just then, a doorbell suddenly rang.
"?"
With a hint of confusion, After putting Ophis away, Ling Yuan went to open the door.
Creeeak~
The door opened.
Ling Yuan was immediately surprised when he saw who it was.
"Aunt Xiao?"
"Can I come in for a bit?" Aunt Xiao smiled.
"Please," Ling Yuan opened the door wider.
"Are you used to living alone?" Aunt Xiao asked as she walked in, looking around.
"It's alright, I'm just making do," Ling Yuan poured a glass of water and placed it in front of Aunt Xiao.
Taking a gentle sip, Aunt Xiao looked at Ling Yuan: "Why don't I see your Contract Beast?"
"Oh, that guy is all fire, he ignites easily, so I just kept him inside my body. But he's still useful for cooking, saves on gas."
Aunt Xiao smiled slightly: "I wonder if I could see him?"
"No problem."
Ling Yuan beckoned to the empty air, and a ball of flame appeared. Soon, a chibi-style dragon rolled onto the table with a flip.
"Roar!"
It even let out a fierce dragon's roar.
However, it wasn't threatening at all, and instead, it was incredibly cute.
Looking at Belleronus, Aunt Xiao slowly reached out her hand.
Belleronus looked for a moment, then finally lifted its head and nuzzled her.
"Such a cute child, you must take good care of him. He might become a great help in the future," Aunt Xiao retracted her hand and said with a smile.
Then, she took out a red crystal from her dimensional ring and handed it to Ling Yuan: "Aunt Xiao happens to have something here, consider it your graduation gift."
"What is this?" Ling Yuan showed a confused expression.
"This was left by Ran Ran's father back then. It's a fire-attribute crystal that can slightly increase flame purity. I'll give it to you."
"How can I accept this?" Ling Yuan quickly refused.
It was practically a memento. How could he possibly accept it?
"It's fine, it's yours. I have something to do, so I'll be leaving now."
Saying that, without giving Ling Yuan a chance to bargain, she stuffed it into his hand and left directly.
It wasn't until the sound of the door closing that Ling Yuan came to his senses.
A Saint-tier array master and a fire-attribute contract spirit? Little Ling Yuan really hides quite a few secrets.
Aunt Xiao murmured softly from behind the door, then headed towards her own home.
In the living room
Ling Yuan stared blankly at the crystal in his hand.
"System, do you know what this is?"
"Ding! Detection complete. To Master, this is a High-level Fire Element Crystal."
"High-level Fire Element Crystal?"
Ling Yuan was confused; this was the first time he had heard this term.
"It is a crystal condensed by a Super-rank Elemental Spirit. A single one of these is enough to turn a small planet into dust."
"Holy crap!"
Ling Yuan was startled by the system's explanation.
He looked at the small crystal in his hand in disbelief.
This thing was that dangerous?!
"No, how could Aunt Xiao, a single mother, have something so dangerous? Could it be that Aunt Xiao's identity is not simple?"
"Ding! Master, this item is extremely compatible with the Plague Gem. If completely devoured, Belleronus will possess the complete True Fire Core."
Hearing the system's words, Ling Yuan turned his head and saw Belleronus staring at him blankly, or rather, at the crystal in his hand.
"Alright, I'll let you eat it."
It was given to Bella by Aunt Xiao anyway, and this thing was not important to him.
"Nom nom!"
Bella opened her mouth and swallowed the crystal directly.
Immediately after, the entire dragon turned into light and flew into Ling Yuan's body.
"Ding ding ding!"
Just as Ling Yuan was about to summon Ophis
The chat group notification in his mind rang incessantly.
Katarina: "@Ling Yuan, Group Owner, please save Hongyu!"
Ling Yuan: "Coming, coming. What happened?"
Katarina: "Hongyu's brother is forcing her!"
Ling Yuan: "???"
Akame: "???"
Maple: "???"
Lightning Dragon Slayer: "What kind of explanation is that? It sounds so twisted."
Katarina: "Cough, cough, sorry, I've been playing too many games. I get carried away when this kind of thing happens."
Ling Yuan: "So, what exactly happened?"
Eighth Princess: "@Ling Yuan, Group Owner, it's like this. Today, Hongyan brother came to my palace and said I have to go with him to conquer Labyrinth No. 37."
Chapter 15 Ling Yuan: You can be my sister from now on.
Ling Yuan: "Conquer a labyrinth? Isn't that a good thing? If I remember correctly, Hongyan should have two Demon Gods now. With him there, you don't need to worry about safety at all."
Eighth Princess: "That's true, but Hongyan brother said he wants to see if I have the courage of a warrior's child. He won't intervene at all during the entire process, and he won't interfere even if I'm killed by a labyrinth creature."
Katarina: "See, Group Owner? How can there be such an irresponsible brother in the world?"
Akame: "..."
This reminded her of her own sister.
But the difference was that the sisters had faced difficulties together, even though they eventually went their separate ways.
Eighth Princess: "I'm very grateful for everyone's company during this time. It has been the happiest period of my life, but it's time to say goodbye."
Ling Yuan: "Uh, I think you guys have some misunderstanding about Hongyan."
Ling Yuan hesitated as he looked at Hongyu's heartbroken words.
Ling Yuan: "Actually, he really likes his younger brothers and sisters. From my understanding, he'd rather give up the throne than see his siblings not get along."
Eighth Princess: "Huh? Really? Brother Hongyan always seems so fierce though..."
Katarina: "Could he be some pervert who has fantasies about his little sisters?"
Akame: "Don't think everyone is as disgusting as you, you fujoshi."
Ling Yuan's slender fingers stroked his chin.
Labyrinth No. 37, he remembered that was Phoenix.
A Demon God with healing abilities, and a great beauty at that...
Full-body demon armor also sounds pretty good.
Ling Yuan: "@Eighth Princess, Hongyu, hold on, I'm coming over right now."
Eighth Princess: "Huh?"
Ling Yuan: "@Eighth Princess, it's okay if you don't believe Hongyan. You can be my sister from now on, I'll protect you."
Eighth Princess: "!"
Katarina: "Protect me, protect me! I want to be your sister too. @Ling Yuan, Big Brother Ling Yuan~"
Ling Yuan: "Get up the tree, you Monkey King. I don't want to be seduced by you."
Katarina: "?"
Akame: "Does the Group Owner have enough points already?"
Ling Yuan: "I'm the Group Owner, of course I have certain privileges. It was set up precisely so I could rush over when group members encounter danger or at other critical moments."
Maple: "Group Owner Brother is so gentle."
