"I brought the Earth Core..."
"Let's walk around for a bit first."
"Um?"
"Including the time you negotiated with Topaz, you've witnessed the changes in the Lower District more than once. How about we go and explore other places this time?"
Chapter 287 The Pure Succubus
Natasha keeps a low profile; despite being the Underworld Fire leader organization, most members are completely unaware of her existence.
The people in the Lower District only knew her as a small-town doctor and the Orphanage Director, nothing more.
Even after moving to the Upper District, joining the core of power in Kliperburg, and even appearing in Bronya's public address in the square, the public's knowledge of Natasha remained limited.
But Hua Yi is a well-known savior.
Many citizens were inspired by his words and devoted themselves to urban development.
Many miners have gone from hell to heaven. They were once homeless and living in fear due to the Void Erosion, but now they have become contributors to the cause of Preservation and enjoy generous wages.
If Hua Yi didn't go out in disguise and truly experienced the changes brought about by the hero, people who were sincerely grateful to him would crowd the streets and alleys.
Not everyone can be poised and confident.
Running up to the Apostle of the Amber Lord to say "thank you," or even excitedly presenting him with flowers, homemade meat jelly, or sausages, requires courage and initiative.
That being said, with such an exaggerated number, even a small percentage becomes a large number.
Natasha had reason to suspect that even with her and Hua Yi's combined four hands, they wouldn't be able to handle the gifts that the citizens flocked to give them.
He wasn't pretending at all!
The Miss Doctor was initially wondering if "walking around" counted as a date.
Now look what's happened! Hua Yi is so audacious as to dare to show his face in public. He'll be surrounded!
Lord Hua Yi is here, everyone come quick!
If a few more Void creatures appear in the peaceful Belobog City, or even more terrifying enemies invade Jarilo -VI, and turmoil breaks out again, then Hua Yi, carrying the lance passed down through generations of Supreme Guardian, will stand before Kliperburg and promise, "Just like in the past, I will drive out the inferior demons and Preservation civilization. No one will be sacrificed for this. You can rest assured and wait for me to bring back victory."
Who could sit still after hearing such words!
When Hua Yi recaptured Rivet Town, he had too few people with him. The residents of the Lower District did not easily trust the visitors from the surface. Only the desperate homeless and some members of the Wildfire team followed him.
But if we give them another chance, and have another big battle—
Whether it's the Flame Sword or the Lance, the weapon Hua Yi holds points to the world's enemies, and the Amber brilliance shines on the path of Belobog's Preservation Path.
The Apostle of the Amber Lord was not being flattering; the people of Winter City were serious.
He interprets [Preservation], and we trust him.
When opportunity knocks, who wouldn't want to follow Great One into battle, risking their life and shedding blood?
I would have no regrets even if I died.
We will never let a hero be alone again!
Unfortunately, the time is not yet ripe.
In peaceful times, men can only continue to work and live as usual, following the direction Hua Yi has indicated and living a good life.
Girls are more emotional and can let their imaginations run wild, creating scenes that make people blush.
In short, Hua Yi is a succubus.
Natasha was still unsure of the specific wind direction in the Upper District.
During this period, she was busy managing the Wildfire, researching cold-resistant medicines, writing light novels, and keeping an eye on the activities of her Fan Group, leaving her little time to understand the people's sentiments.
But over in the Lower District—
The members of the Wildfire who spontaneously created the incidents of the Fish Belly Hidden Books and the Bonfire Fox Cry had plenty of ideas. In addition, the changes underground were far greater than those above ground, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the world had been turned upside down. If a few of the bolder girls came along, they would probably run headfirst into the savior and give him a big kiss on the cheek.
He robbed her of her virtue.
Wildfire, a warrior who stood up during the Blockade Order and the Void rifts to maintain basic Order and fight against the Void creatures, is not even afraid of death. What else would he not dare to do?
Not just the Wildfire, but also the Silvermane Guards female soldiers.
According to information revealed by Pela, standing guard at the gates of Kliperburg has now become the most desired task for the Silvermane Guards.
Since Bronya became the Supreme Guardian, her personal guard, composed of female soldiers, has taken over this job.
Even though female Silvermane Guards could serve as maids, enter Kliperburg to clean, and await orders, the gender restriction was reasonable and justified. However, there were still other elite female soldiers who were not able to enter the Royal Guard and harbored resentment, with some saying, "We demand a fight, and whoever wins will stand guard."
Just so I could be closer to Lord Hua Yi.
Unfortunately, there are only so many guards available each day, and unless they line up at the gate of Kliperburg, there will always be people who are dissatisfied.
Maintaining stability is not easy.
Serval had previously discussed with Bronya whether they could ask the Group Leader of the Fan Group [ [Name Redacted] ] for permission, just like the female staff members of the Herta Space Station joined the group chat, to also give the girls of the Mane Guard a chance to enter the machine.
This method is worth considering!
If a crowd gathers later and the Wildfire Girls come over eager to make a move, I'll quietly tell them about the Fan Group.
"You all behave yourselves and don't lay a hand on Lord Hua Yi. I'll try my best to get a spot in the Fan Group." — This was meant to reassure people and hopefully prevent further trouble.
As the Underworld Fire leader, Natasha's considerations were undeniably comprehensive.
" Lord Hua Yi!"
At the gates of Kliperburg, a joyful greeting rang out from beneath the heavy armor. The Silvermane Guards standing guard there were overwhelmed with emotion upon seeing their long-awaited hero.
Even though their faces were covered by helmets, the excitement in their words was clearly discernible.
Are you cold?
Hua Yi stopped and patted the two Silvermane Guards on the shoulders.
Amber brilliance shimmered at their fingertips, flowing into their limbs and bones, warming their entire bodies.
"No, it's not cold. It wasn't cold to begin with, and it's even colder now! It's so warm..."
The Silvermane Guards, who had been standing perfectly still just moments before, now spoke with a trembling voice, and his upright figure swayed slightly.
Excited.
They were Lady Bronya's personal guard, the elite of the elite.
If it were Void creatures attacking, no matter how ferocious and terrifying it was, they would not retreat. They would grip their spears tightly and charge forward without hesitation.
But Lord Hua Yi showed concern, patted me on the shoulder, and even used his Preservation might to warm me up with a cloak!
I'm going to faint...
Natasha couldn't see the girls' faces under the Silvermane Guards helmets, but she could easily guess their expressions.
I feel understanding, gratified, and a little helpless.
This is exactly how things have turned out.
Despite being hailed as the King of Belobog and revered as a savior and hero, Hua Yi is actually a pure succubus.
Now that the succubus has left Kliperburg without any disguise or traffic control by the Silvermane Guards, what a commotion this must cause!
Protect the Emperor!
Well, once the crowd gathers, there will be people around to protect you.
Chapter 288 Who exactly is being so cautious?
They are all loyal subjects, which makes them even more difficult to deal with.
When the streets are packed with people, you won't be able to leave, and you can't forcibly disperse them. Who knows how much time it will take?
The date has lost its charm...
Without the opportunity to enjoy time alone together, there's no point in talking about dating.
Natasha felt it was a pity.
But that's just who he is.
The Miss Doctor gave a helpless yet gentle smile, gazing at Hua Yi's profile as her eyes gradually lost focus.
I was completely mesmerized.
" The Great Cold is bound to subside, and Belobog will become warmer and warmer in the future."
After Hua Yi finished comforting the two Silvermane Guards and continued walking, Natasha was surprised to find that the few passersby on the street were not looking in their direction, as if they had not noticed his presence.
"... What happened?"
"I tried to create cognitive interference around me and hide myself so that there wouldn't be a huge crowd later. In the meantime, I could also continue to familiarize myself with the power of [Memory], which I might need later."
"This—is it referring to fate?"
"Yes. But don't tell anyone else, I'm only telling you the truth because I trust you."
Shockingly, the Apostle of the Amber Lord was able to use the power of [Memory], suggesting a lack of loyalty to [Preservation].
Natasha, of course, wouldn't have such thoughts.
377 Hua Yi can use several kinds of Path power, and there is a Stellaron inside the star. These are enough to break the common sense of the universe. However, for the Miss Doctor, the shock is not that great.
Because Belobog has been out of touch with the stars for too long, he lacks common sense.
Her past knowledge was that the Lower District were suffering from the Void Erosion, were in imminent danger, were homeless, were rampant with monsters, and had distorted spatial rifts that could not be repaired.
Hua Yi changed all of this; he saved the world, and that was the miracle that shocked Natasha the most and captivated her the most.
As for one's destiny—
It's normal that the savior can do anything.
"Hmm! I won't tell."
It seems like we can go on dates again?
Overjoyed at finding what she had lost, the beautiful woman moved with light steps, her boots lightly touching the ground, pressing down the thin layer of snow, and completely closing the already short distance between her and Hua Yi.
Reset to zero.
Now, who's holding whose hand?
Natasha extended her delicate hand, but only halfway, or perhaps not even halfway, before it touched Hua Yi's outstretched hand, and their hands clasped together.
Now we're on the same wavelength.
Maturity does not mean being lifeless; it is precisely because we have seen much suffering that we cherish peaceful days all the more.
Adding a touch of romantic pink to such moments would be enough.
Feeling the warmth of her palm, Natasha's tone of voice became lighter.
"So you knew that going out without any disguise would attract a lot of attention."
"Of course, I deliberately avoided it."
The savior said whatever she wanted, Miss Doctor smiled broadly.
"Well—did you consider that your visit to them might have caused a minor stir among the Silvermane Guards? Many young women would be green with envy, vying to stand guard at the gates of Kliperburg."
"The Savior's thoughtful greetings and the use of his power of Preservation to keep them warm are almost unfair to the girls, aren't they?"
"It is foreseeable that the Silvermane Guards will be responsible for guard duty in the future will be the elite of the elite, and they will probably train even harder to compete for the spots."
This is indeed a problem.
Hua Yi had an idea, but there was nothing he could do, so he shrugged.
"I can't just use [Memory] to cover myself the moment I leave Kliperburg, can I? Since I know what others are expecting, and they are loyal to our side who are protecting Kliperburg, it's hard for me to completely ignore them and just pass by."
"Yes, I understand."
Scenery and food are not what Natasha expects on a date.
