The tavern’s customers instantly fell silent in tacit understanding. They stared straight at the bar counter. They were embarrassed to look directly at it, so they stealthily peeked at it.

“Hmph, am I interrupting you by coming back at this time?”

Orina’s eyes were frosty as she snorted coldly. Alan instantly reacted as if his heart was filled with happiness. There was a big problem with his question.

“No, I didn’t mean anything by it. I was just surprised.” Alan hurriedly explained.

Orina looked coldly at the youth behind the bar counter, trying to get some clues from his expression.

“Why don’t you tell me what’s going on between you and this female cat.”

Her gaze shifted from Alan to Ai Xiaohei.

Ai Xiaohei thought that she would be able to escape, but she did not expect to be targeted.

“Isn’t Ai Xiaohei the same as before? I haven’t hugged her during this period of time.”

Alan hurriedly expressed that he had kept their previous agreement.

Orina was reaching out to grab Ai Xiaohei. Ai Xiaohei, who was retreating, let out a weak resistance sound.

The elf was even more like a demon than she was. Orina would grab her and bully him at any time, but Alan did not dare to save her in front of Orina. This d*mn henpecked husband. In the future he would definitely be bullied by his wife like Knapp and have no dignity at all.

Seeing Orina’s expression, Alan was indeed a little afraid. He did not understand why he was afraid. Orina and he had such a good relationship.

At this time, he did not dare to speak up for Ai Xiaohei. Orina and Ai Xiaohei simply did not get along really well. As long as they met, they would not be on good terms.

He used his eyes to signal to Ai Xiaohei who was being caught, “Just suck it up. You won’t get hurt anyway, and there would be compensation afterwards.”

When AI Xiaohei saw the signal in Alan’s eyes, she lost her last hope and finally gave up struggling.

Orina seemed to have lost interest in the non-struggling Ai Xiaohei. After a few casual tortures, she threw Ai Xiaohei to the side. Ai Xiaohei, who had regained her freedom, disappeared without a trace. Alan did not know where she had gone to hide.

Alan awkwardly looked at the elf lady opposite him and laughed dryly. She was still the beautiful elven queen today.

After Orina vented her anger on Ai Xiaohei, she finally regained her calm.

“While I was away, why did you bring all the things from the Abyss back home? Do you want to die?”

She pointed at Beelzebub, who had been sitting at the back door feeling depressed and said helplessly and worriedly.

Alan felt a little guilty about her accusation. He had indeed picked up a lot of demons during this period of time.

“Hehe, actually, the demons are not as bad as I thought. They are all good people. To be honest, I quite like them.”

Alan explained with an awkward smile, while complained those demon fools in his heart, “I don’t know how the reputation of the demons has become so bad. They are just a bunch of fools. At most, their EQ is relatively low. How scary is that…”

“Sigh, when can you raise your vigilance a little?”

Orina sighed helplessly. Alan was loved by everyone because of his sincerity. However, for those close to him, they couldn’t help but worry that his sincerity would bring him danger.

Alan saw Orina’s slightly furrowed brows and felt a hint of fatigue.

“Did you just rush back from the Elven Forest?”

Alan asked worriedly, his tone slightly low and his voice warm.

“Yes, I felt the strange movements from the Abyss last night, but there were no clues in the forest. I thought of Abraham in Rock City, and I was afraid that something bad would happen here, so I rushed here overnight.”

Orina did not hide anything and told the truth.

“Do you need to go and rest first?”

Orina just shook her head and refused. She still had many questions that she had not solved, so she could not leave yet.

“Then have a drink. I will tell you about what happened during this period of time, and then you can quickly go back and have a good rest.”

Alan suggested and poured her Lafite.

After seeing Orina come, Yupanki tactfully did not go back to the bar to disturb the two of them. He could not help but feel sorry for the princess. With the elven queen by Alan’s side, and the princess was far away in the imperial city, he was afraid that the princess would not be able to compete.

“The battle last night was too exciting. You did not see Uncle Wayne’s awe-inspiring appearance. He was too strong.”

Alan was obviously very excited about the battle last night, especially the style of fighting that involved fists to the flesh.

As expected, no matter how weak a Alan was, he liked this kind of simple and violent battle. Orina silently noted it down in her heart.

“Sofia is also injured. After a night of recuperation, she came over just now. She looks much better now.”

Alan felt a bit guilty about Sofia’s injuries. After all, if he had not dragged her to the top of the bell tower, she would not have to face the demons in battle.

Hearing the news of Sofia’s injuries and nothing serious had happened, Orina felt relieved. She looked at Alan and comforted herself.

“I don’t blame you for this. There will always be injuries if something ended up with violence. Luckily nothing serious happened this time. With your help, she will recover soon. Sofia is very strong!”

Alan looked at Orina, who was still comforting him with fatigue on her face. He was touched. If he could cultivate, with just a little of strength, he wouldn’t have to leave his friend and run away just like yesterday.

“Do you think the electric light outside can be used in the Elven Forest?”

Orina saw that Alan was still not very good, so she changed the topic.

The machine that Alan discovered and guided the dwarves to make was a new type of energy application. She was very interested.

“Of course, if the elves need it, as long as there is a generator, they can use it anytime and anywhere.”

Alan’s face turned awkward when he thought of the current situation.

“However, Bart and Shaman are now focusing on making a fog cannon car. After all, the fog outside is of great importance. If the Elven Forest wants to install electric lights, we’ll have to wait a little longer…”

“It’s okay. I just need to know that it works. We’ll talk about the elves later. When the time comes, you can go to the elves too. Let me do my part as a host.”

Orina sent an invitation to Alan, but her face turned slightly red after she finished her last sentence.

“Okay, after the matter with the gray fog is settled, I’ll go to the Elven Forest as a guest.”

Alan’s sudden dullness prevented him from noticing the strange feelings in her.

“Sofia has already brought the seed back. I’ll leave the matter of the birth of the seed to the elf clan.”

He also casually mentioned the birth of the tree seeds.

Orina nodded in agreement. She was in favor of this matter as well. According to Abraham, the gray fog would gradually expand outward over time.

In other words, the gray fog affected the entire continent. The elven race could not stay out of it, not to mention that Rock City was right next to the Elven Forest.

He had said enough, and he had drunk half a bottle of wine. Looking at the time, it was already night time.

Alan suddenly remembered a previous agreement.

“Oh right, do you still remember the last time before you left, I said that I would prepare a gift for you?” Alan suddenly asked.

“So have you prepared it?” Orina looked at Alan with a faint smile.

“Of course, I’ve prepared it long ago. Wait for me here for a while, I’ll go upstairs to get it for you.”

Alan replied with a smile. The decision was made after the mall was refreshed. In his opinion, this gift was the most suitable thing for elves.

Orina had a broad smile on her face as she watched the young man run upstairs. She felt sweetness in her heart.

When the customers saw Alan go upstairs with a silly smile on his face and then look at the female elf sitting in front of the bar counter and humming happily, they all covered their cheeks. Their teeth were about to fall..
