Chapter 868: Chapter 38: Boss, Is It Convenient to Breed?_3

After all, they were just trivial questions and messages, so I might as well say it myself, no need to push through forcibly.

Seeing the little princess who originally would rather die than yield suddenly bursting into tears and honestly confessing the answer, Rose couldn’t help but feel great admiration for the boss beside her.

Look, heart-wrenching but not physically harming, that’s what you call professional!

Indeed, her previous interrogation work was too rough; she should really learn more from this master in the future.

Luo En, completely unaware that he had been labeled as a “pervert” and an “Evil God,” continued to question the defeated Xili:

“So, do you know the way to Heather Island or not?”

“I do. After completing this task, I’m supposed to head to the Tavern on Heather Island for a handover.”

Xili answered while sobbing, completely devoid of her previous heroic and spirited demeanor.

“Then you should have said so earlier.”

Luo En looked at Xili reproachfully and comfortingly said,

“Don’t worry, we really just wanted to ask for directions, no ill intentions. And I’m not some slaver, otherwise why would I be polite to you?”

Saying that, he gestured for Rose to release the spiderweb and let Xili down.

As her body landed, Xili gradually suppressed her fear, muster up the courage, and asked skeptically:

“What’s up with Celebrian then?”

Due to some resentment towards a particular Dark Elf who attacked and tortured her, Xili deliberately did not mention Rose in her question.

“She’s my friend, invited by me to visit Midgard.” Luo En half truthfully answered while also casually clearing Rose, “As for Rose, don’t worry, she is a Believer of Iris rescued from the Dark Elves’ lair. She’s not like those evil Dark Elves, has nowhere to go now, and is serving as my protector.”

During the conversation, Luo En took out a few items brought from the Dark Elves’ lair for Xili to inspect.

Along with Rose, an acting master, vouching at the side, Xili quickly dispelled her doubts and sincerely apologized to Luo En for her recklessness.

Seeing the atmosphere soften, Luo En timely showed his magnanimity and tolerance:

“You meant well, and I admire your sense of justice. How about this, you need to complete your assignment before returning to Heather Island, right? How about the three of us help out! After settling things here, shall we travel back to Heather Island together?”

“Would that be too much trouble for you?” Xili was both hesitant and tempted.

Honestly, this was her first time traveling far, and although her swordsmanship was decent, she lacked experience.

Both this Dark Elf and Human seemed experienced and capable; having their help would almost guarantee success on her mission.

It’s just that she had misunderstood them upon first meeting, and it was quite rude to have her sword at an innocent man’s throat in the middle of the night.

“It’s fine, it’s on the way.” Luo En smiled and waved his hand lightly, teasingly blinking. “Besides, this way, you can also confirm whether I am a slaver or not.”

Hearing this, Xili sheepishly bowed her head and took her confiscated weapon and belongings rather awkwardly from Luo En.

However, as she slung the two longswords over her back, due to the large movement, her clothes, which had been eroded by spider silk, could no longer hold and “ripped” apart, exposing a large area of pale skin and a delicate clavicle.

“Why are you all up so early? Gathered here to do…”

Just then, Celebrian came over, rubbing her sleepy eyes, and the moment she opened her eyes and saw the situation clearly, her voice suddenly stopped.

“It’s not related to me, it’s Rose…”

Luo En was just about to pass the blame but saw that the Spider Goddess specialized in doing dirty work and bearing the blame had strangely disappeared, leaving him face darkened in frustration as he met Celebrian’s wary and disdainful gaze.

After a lengthy explanation, together with Xili’s testimony, Celebrian became somewhat convinced and put away her contempt for Luo En.

Then, she took off her outer coat and wrapped it around Xili’s nearly bare body, led her into the tent to change into a new set of clothes, and whispered among themselves for a while.

It wasn’t until the Sun fully rose that the two women, having packed their bags, walked out of the tent hand in hand, ready to set off.

Meanwhile, the previously missing Rose resurfaced without anyone knowing exactly when, shamelessly squeezed into the group of girls, and, relying on her outstanding acting skills, quickly resolved the conflicts, chatting and laughing along with the girls.

Luo En, left hanging at the back, could only smile helplessly, stood up, and followed the three, heading together towards the distant village.
