Considering the Matter of Gender

Fang Li's voice drew everyone's attention to him.

Felix herself, however, had her lovely smile vanish instantly, replaced by a look of disdain.

Of course, that wasn't directed at Fang Li's emotions.

"If possible, I really don't want to get involved with anything related to the Witch Cult."

Felix sighed.

For the people of this world, the Witch Cult is taboo, and no one would want to come into contact with these madmen.

For Felix, a healer, existences like the Witch Cult that disregard life are utterly detestable.

"However, we couldn't ignore Fang Li's request, so Phil did something he really didn't want to do."

With that, Felix stepped forward and handed the two crystals to Fang Li.

Fang Li took the two crystals, lowered his head, and looked at them.

Witch Factor (Gluttony): A factor with special effects. When injected into a highly adaptable individual, it grants the user the power to devour all existence. Value: 30,000 Exchange Points.

Witch Factor (Sloth): A factor with special effects. When injected into a highly adaptable individual, it grants the user the power of an invisible demonic hand. Value: 30,000 Exchange Points.

Fang Li's lips curled up slightly, forming a satisfied smile.

Yes.

Within these two crystals lie the Witch Factor carried by the White Whale and Petelgeuse.

After the battle ended, Fang Li asked Felix to help him extract the Witch Factor from the White Whale and Petelgeuse.

Given Felix's abilities as the continent's top healer, this is not something she cannot accomplish.

After all, as the saying goes, a person may not understand their own body, but a doctor absolutely needs to understand another person's body.

Fang Li didn't have the technology to extract the Witch Factor from the White Whale and Petelgeuse, so he could only Felix for help.

Felix successfully completed Fang Li's request.

Thus, Fang Li's Main Mission Two was declared complete.

At this point, all of Fang Li's Main Quest have been completed.

So, when Fang Li received the two crystals carrying the Witch Factor, a system notification sounded deep in his mind.

"Number 11273 has completed all the Main Quest and can choose to return to the Main God Space at any time, or choose to stay in the Instance World."

"If you choose to return, the task will be evaluated and you can receive the reward."

"If you choose to stay, you can remain in the Instance World for another three days."

Hearing the notification from his mind, Fang Li glanced at Emilia and Rem beside him, then silently chose to stay.

At the same time, Fang Li put the crystal away and said to Felix, "Thanks, you've really gone to a lot of trouble."

"Well, what can I do? We're both colleagues and allies." Although Felix still seemed a little annoyed, she winked playfully at Fang Li and revealed a bewitching smile, saying, "Fang Li's performance in the subjugation battle was so outstanding that it made me fall for him. If my heart hadn't already belonged to Crusch, I would definitely be a fan of yours, meow."

Before Fang Li could even respond, Emilia and Rem had already overreacted.

"Infatuated?" Emilia glanced Fang Li furtively, looking somewhat hesitant.

"Lord Fang Li..." Rem stared directly at Fang Li, her cute, somewhat indistinct face showing a pained expression.

Seeing the two beautiful young women looking at him with such confusion, Fang Li spoke up directly.

"I hope you can think about the issue of gender before you start overthinking. My orientation is perfectly normal."

Even though Fang Li is very capricious and does things her own way, and doesn't have much attachment to anything, Fang Li's still not so casual as to disregard gender.

Otherwise, even the most graceful and elegant songstress would definitely not be able to resist stabbing Fang Li back.

"Okay, that's all for now."

Fang Li abruptly ended the conversation.

"We should go."

Upon hearing this, Crusch, Felix, Wilhelm, and their group all looked up and stared at them.

Finally, Crusch, as the representative, extended her hand to Emilia.

"I hope that our alliance can last until the very end, before the final showdown."

Emilia nodded emphatically and extended her hand in response.

"Thank you so much for taking care of me these past few days."

After saying that, the two candidates for the Royal Selection clasped hands together.

Wilhelm's expression also changed to that of a butler, and he bowed to Fang Li and his group, speaking in this manner.

"Bon Voyage."

Following Wilhelm, Felix casually waved her hand and spoke with a smile.

"If you have any illness, big or small, remember to come see Phil-chan, especially Fang Li. After all, you are Royal Guard Knight, so don't be lazy and not come to the Royal Capital just because you don't have a duty."

Upon hearing Felix's words, Fang Li smiled and shrugged in response.

"I'll consider it."

Beside him, Rem, like Wilhelm, bowed to the group as a servant.

Immediately, Fang Li and Emilia entered the carriage, and Rem also sat in the driver's seat of the Dragon Carriage. Amidst the rolling of the wheels, and under the watchful eyes of Crusch and his group, they gradually drove away.

Inside the carriage, Emilia watched as Carl's villa disappeared from her sight, her cyan eyes filled with emotion.

A lot happened during this trip to the Royal Capital.

The formal commencement of Royal Selection's selection.

The battle against the White Whale.

An attack by the Witch Cult.

Each of these issues, taken individually, is a problem that could be considered a matter of national policy for the kingdom.

And all these issues revolve around Emilia.

Before she came, Emilia knew that this trip would definitely not be easy.

Because of his silver-haired Half-Elf identity.

Indeed, a lot of things did happen.

However, Emilia managed to overcome all the difficulties and predicaments that came her way without any major incidents.

It's all because of one person.

Thinking of this, Emilia couldn't help but turn her head to look at Fang Li, her eyes rippling with emotion.

Emilia couldn't help but smile as she recalled all the things this person had done for her.

Her smile was extremely beautiful.

"Hmm?" Noticing Emilia's gaze, Fang Li asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Emilia shook her head, her smile undiminished, seemingly enjoying herself as she replied with this remark.

"Nothing."

Seeing Emilia's seemingly happy appearance, Fang Li could only shrug helplessly, feeling frustrated.

never mind.

As long as you're happy, isn't that all that matters?
