You Don't Seriously Think I'm Some Naive Sweetheart, Do You?

Li Ziran looked up at the enormous Humpback Eagle, as if gazing upon a celestial overlord.

He had seen some magical beasts before, but this was the first time he had ever seen one of this magnitude.

"Mr. Li Ziran, His Excellency Sandrew specifically asked me to invite you!" Rhine reminded him again, though he was anxious, he still maintained sufficient respect.

However, this reminder did attract Li Ziran's attention. He glanced at the Golden-Haired Rhine and found that the other party had hardly changed compared to a few months ago.

His gaze then fell on the totem Minotaur not far away. Now he understood that the Minotaur hadn't sent the Butterfly Girl over to intimidate him, but rather to protect her.

Sandrew's initial claim that he had merely spread his fame across the Grasslands was undoubtedly a lie.

However, it's not a big deal. Demon are taboo things after all, and it's unrealistic to say that he didn't have some kind of background.

He was certain that among Sandrew's guests this time were Orc, most likely Orc royalty.

He didn't make things too difficult for Rhine, after all, he was just a gofer. After inspecting the tools and potions to be produced, he took the wizard's robe from the hanger and went straight out of the building.

"Please!"

Golden-Haired Rhine bowed respectfully, and the instant Li Ziran approached the Humpback Eagle, he whistled, causing the enormous creature to immediately lower its head.

Behind the large bird's head was an exquisite staircase covered with a red carpet. The sides of the carpet were inlaid with emeralds and pearls, and at the end of the staircase was a small tent made of fox fur.

Clearly, this magical beast is a luxurious mount specifically designed for transportation.

The person who can afford Humpback Eagle must be someone of considerable status.

As Li Ziran stepped onto the stairs, a gentle breeze swept by, carrying a pungent dampness that was clearly not the airflow of the Wasteland.

Magic Stone.

Moreover, it's a water-attribute Magic Stone. This kind of alchemical item only provides water vapor inside the shield, which is a bit of a waste.

In his mind, only the top human nobles would dare to spend money like this.

Perfect, he can enjoy it too.

"Wait, wait for me!" Just as Li Ziran was marveling at the luxurious decorations of the Humpback Eagle, a voice suddenly came from the second floor, followed by a fragrant breeze rushing towards the Humpback Eagle.

"Madam, you can't go up!" Golden-Haired Rhine wanted to stop her, but when she saw the Copper-Yellow Frog on the other woman's shoulder, she swallowed her words.

He was almost eaten by this Frog a few months ago.

However, the Humpback Eagle didn't recognize the woman. Its eyes flashed, and a bolt of Thunder Element appeared out of nowhere, as if to block the woman's path.

Quack!

The Frog on the woman's shoulder croaked, stuck out its tongue, swallowed the Thunder Element whole, and with a light leap, landed atop the Humpback Eagle.

Before the guy could even react, he suddenly squatted down on the ground with a "plop".

It was as if a mountain had landed on their heads, not Frog.

Watching Anfuni's farce, Li Ziran smiled bitterly to himself. Although the Humpback Eagle was an amazing magical beast, it was still far behind Jon. Not to mention crushing it, it could probably swallow it whole.

Title Magister are practically invincible in the Wasteland.

In just a short while, Anfuni had passed through the protective barrier, climbed the stairs, and stood next to Li Ziran, smiling as she stared at him.

"I'm just going to deliver a baby, what are you doing following me?" Li Ziran asked.

"Why can't I go? It's not like I'm ashamed to be seen." Anfuni said with a smile, but the next moment, her expression suddenly stopped, and she said in a gloomy voice, "Li Ziran, I've been here for months. Do you really think I can't see anything? Demon have openly descended upon the Red Soil Continent. Not to mention humans, even we Elves cannot ignore this."

"You know everything? It's just a little Demon." Li Ziran hurriedly defended himself, not wanting the Elves to get involved.

"Heh, you don't really think I'm a naive and innocent girl, do you? How laughable. Would a member of the Dark Council directly interfere with a little Demon like me?" Anfuni sneered.

"Dark Council? Members?" Li Ziran frowned deeply; he couldn't understand these words.

"What, you don't know?" Anfuni gently pinched her fingers, and a tiny mosquito appeared in her hand.

Mosquito?

Li Ziran was increasingly puzzled. These kinds of things were everywhere in the Undead Nest, so what was so special about them?

"This..." Just as he was about to ask, Anfuni pressed the mosquito directly onto Li Ziran's forehead.

Li Ziran felt a chill between his brows, as if an Undead was about to invade his body. He quickly used his mental power to drive it away, but his mental power strangely merged with the icy power. In the next instant, an image suddenly appeared in his mind.

A pond, a hut, a basement, a busy Rainbow-tail Girl, and myself struggling to control the Corpse Witch by the pond—this was exactly the scene of controlling the Corpse Witch that morning, and the scene was progressing in an orderly fashion.

Monitor!

In that instant, a word popped into Li Ziran's mind. He opened his eyes and stared blankly at the tiny mosquito.

"Sandrew?" she asked, looking at Anfuni with a hint of doubt.

"It's not just him, there are at least three waves here!" Anfuni pinched her fingers, and another mosquito appeared. However, this mosquito was slightly different from the previous one; its antennae were red.

Three waves?

Li Ziran subconsciously thought of the three Necromancer Archmage in the Undead Nest. Could it be that they had been monitoring him all along?

Ironically, he didn't notice anything at all.

"How do you feel?" Anfuni asked with a chuckle. "Are you surprised, disappointed, or even angry?"

Li Ziran shook his head and laughed, "It was a bit much at first, but I can understand it after thinking about it. If I were Archmage Undead, I would probably try to control the other party as well. Using this mosquito monitoring method is already a very gentle approach. Anfuni, thank you."

"Thank me? Why are you thanking me?" Anfuni knew very well that if she hadn't been there, the approach would probably have been much gentler, but she still asked the question on purpose.

Li Ziran rolled his eyes. He'd never seen anyone so smug. But since the other person liked to hear it, he didn't need to hide it. "If it weren't for you, I probably wouldn't be so comfortable now. Sigh, who would have thought that Butterfly Girl was so dangerous?"

It is indeed dangerous, but more importantly, we now have to deliver the baby for the Butterfly Girl.

However, there is one thing to be thankful for: regardless of whether it was a conspiracy or a scheme, he did not hold back in the cultivation of Embryo, nor did he take advantage of the convenience of Embryo cultivation to gain any benefits.

He presented himself completely to Sandrew, and even with these strange mosquitoes watching him, there was nothing to be ashamed of.

Sandrew's recent willingness to patiently guide me is probably largely thanks to these mosquitoes.

Perhaps this is a test?

If he passes, Sandrew might take him on as an apprentice.

"Alright, alright, let Rhine set off. If he stays here any longer, people will really become suspicious," Anfuni urged impatiently.

"You're going?" Li Ziran was a little confused. This woman didn't need to protect him like this, did she? Besides, even if it were a den of dragons and tigers, he couldn't escape it. Moreover, these people clearly had their eyes on the Embryo. He had absolute expertise in Embryo cultivation and wouldn't be in danger for the time being. "I can protect myself."

Anfuni rolled her eyes and gave a strange laugh, "My little fool, you don't actually think I'm protecting you, do you? Do you think you're that important?"

Li Ziran shook his head. Indeed, his worth wasn't enough to Title Magister.

"And you?"

"Heh, Demon, huh? This is good stuff. Those bastards in the Dark Council, they'll only do anything for profit. The deal behind this is definitely huge. Sigh, now that I'm a mage, I'll have to find a way to earn some money when cultivation resources become scarce. Even with Elves supporting me, it's still limited." Anfuni said with some distress, "Don't worry, you go ahead and have your baby, I'll negotiate my deal. We won't interfere with each other."

Li Ziran was speechless. Was that even possible? Sandrew wasn't a complete fool to let outsiders take away the prize he had. However, given Anfuni's strength, she might actually be able to obtain something.

It seems slightly advantageous for him if Anfuni goes along.

"I'm fine with it, but I'll have to ask them first." Li Ziran looked at the Golden-Haired Rhine.

Before Anfuni could ask any questions, the Golden-Haired Rhine nodded hastily. He was terrified by the Frog; the Humpback Eagle was a powerful magical beast of the Grasslands, and it hadn't even stood up yet.

"Alright, they have no objections, let's set off." As soon as he finished speaking, the Copper-Yellow Frog left the top of the Humpback Eagle, and the huge creature finally stood up. The Golden-Haired Rhine quickly climbed the stairs, whistled a few special whistles, and the Humpback Eagle flapped its wings frantically and took flight.

Midway through the flight, seemingly fearing instability, it deliberately reduced its speed to the extreme.

This guy, though not a living being, is quite intelligent. Li Ziran chuckled inwardly. He had brought a woman along for no reason; he wondered if Sandrew would be angry.

Sandrew said he would invite guests, and if Anfuni causes trouble, the consequences...

"Why is delivering a baby so difficult?!"
