Thousand-Faced Dragon

Chapter 480 The Visitor

Rean could never forget the first woman in his life, the petite and pitiful Purple Rose, who was sometimes mature and alluring.

To be precise, as described in the letter, for both parties, "wanting" meant truly wanting, especially at night.

But even though he really came back, Rean felt a little numb.

"It was Red Feather Arrow who delivered the message for me. They have special channels, and the correspondence goes back and forth very frequently."

In reality, the Eagle Priestess Red Arrow had been in regular contact with Purple Rose. To be precise, Purple Rose was keeping Red Arrow in touch, using official business as a pretext to remotely learn about the current situation of Radiant City and Rean.

It is worth mentioning that because the Owl was severely injured by Lex and could not threaten the city in the short term, Red Feather Arrow was given a certain period of leave.

She disappeared without a trace, partly to search for traces of the beast and to fulfill the duties of the Beast Priestess of this area in place of Purple Rose, and partly to give herself a break. Having had her Eagle Eye taken away, she was no longer capable of anything significant.

She was also interested in the underground ruins, but had no interest in "ordinary people's trivial matters." Rean invited her several times, but she declined each time.

She only occasionally meets with Rean, helping him deliver letters and small gifts (purple roses) or something like that.
"You've been in contact with your aunt all this time?!" The woman immediately got to the point.

"Uh, uh, um."

Looking at the breathing snake heads so close at hand, Rean had no choice but to admit it.

I have to say, I don't know how Suliman handled them, but these little snakes were not only smooth and white, but they also didn't have the fishy smell of snakes that I usually touch. They even smelled a little sweet when they opened their mouths.

"You dare laugh?!"

Rean, who was trying to escape reality, was dragged into the room.

Since some things are beyond our control, we can only accept what Rean said: the kindness and goodwill of the Purple Rose.

Clearly, Purple Rose had been watching her closely, but at that moment, driven by her animalistic instincts, she probably had no choice but to leave temporarily for Rean's safety.

At that time, she might have accidentally killed the "fragile" Rean.

At the same time, she needed to use spiritual practice to adjust her inner balance, but this matter was resolved instantly because of one other thing.

"A very powerful senior, the Serpent, helped Purple Rose resolve some imbalances, allowing her to return in a shorter time than expected."

This imbalance of power is not a problem for the snake at all. He is happy to see Rean make a fool of himself and will not let Purple Rose leave the stage.

The remaining issue is probably Purple Rose's own problem. Will she be able to get away with things beyond ambiguity because of Rean's loss of control, and a giant snake weighing tens of tons that could lift up a city wall suddenly appears on her bed? In that case, that person might die inexplicably.

"She was very happy to hear about my progress, so she plans to come back to see me."

Sallyman had read the letter; it was filled with love quotes like "I miss you" and "I love you," with only occasional brief mentions of her recent life.

It's all thanks to Rean that he was able to discern the other person's true meaning from those ambiguous sweet nothings.

Clearly, Red Arrow had told Purple Rose about Rean's situation.

"Rean seems to have matured. At least, he's no longer a cub." And setting aside all the other questions, this was probably the only answer Purple Rose received.

Faced with a true dragon with near-diamond bloodline, the "Beast Witch" didn't need to worry too much about losing control.

Rean's absurdly rapid evolution has greatly increased the time it would take for the two to meet again, whereas Purple Rose originally expected it to be at least several years.

Now that there are fewer restrictions, she naturally wants to rush back immediately.

When will she arrive?

"It's hard to say whether she was dealing with some troublesome opponents or fulfilling her duties as stated in her previous letters."

Rean thought for a moment and then spoke.

"But you know, if she wants to come, she'll be here quickly; she might be outside the door very soon."

"Ding Dong."

The sound of a silver bell outside the door startled the two of them. "Miss, Miss Mina is here."

Fortunately, Rean's words did not come true; it was his sister who arrived.

The maid informed the guests and brought Mina in. Mina was Rean's sister, a rare person who could directly enter Rean's house.

These days, Mina Sudar has also been coming frequently. In fact, she has already left the delegation from the desert kingdoms and is now living in Mage Street.

She was a music enthusiast with a decent skill level, and Suliman helped her find a teacher so she could continue her studies. She also used this as an excuse to leave Kane and his group, whose mentality was deteriorating.

Since Kane didn't interfere, he probably accepted the reality of Mina leaving the family, and he didn't want to become completely hostile to Rean because of this.

Mina only had one chance, and she seized it.

As for what to do next, she hasn't decided yet.

Originally, she was supposed to be an asset for a family marriage alliance, but she lost her value because she was too useless. The Sudar family had no need to expel her, as raising another idle person was just a drop in the ocean.

However, all of this is contingent on her not causing any trouble, especially not doing anything that would damage her reputation. The most direct consequence would be that if she fell in love with a commoner, a nobleman would not be able to marry her, and a commoner would not be able to marry her. In the end, she would most likely be either "gifted" to a retainer (knight) or used to win over powerful outsiders as a henchman.

This is meaningless. If she insists on not getting married, she might end up in a convent at some point, filled with a bunch of expired "rich girls".

"Sister-in-law Sallyman, lend me some money, I want to open a shop."

The fact that Suliman could smile upon speaking made Rean breathe a sigh of relief.

"Okay, you and Anna can discuss the specific location. If approval is needed, it won't be difficult."

Without even asking what kind of business it was or how much it would cost, Sally Mann immediately agreed.

He even had time to chat with Mina about business, offering her advice.

"Oh, by the way, I have some seasonal black tea and snacks here; you can take them back."

As she spoke, she ran off to prepare small gifts, and at that moment, Mina, who had been smiling the whole time, suddenly came over.

"Brother, what did you do to offend her?"

"Uh, you figured it out."

"Her tail is wrapped all the way around your waist, she's about to eat you up, but I can't see it."

Rean sighed and looked up at the sky. These were all mistakes made when he was young, and the past was too painful to recall. How could he tell his sister about them?

"Something happened? How many?"

But the other party knew better than Rean what else could make Suliman both angry and nervous.

"One or two, I guess. Don't ask Suliman who they are."

The girl immediately rolled her eyes.

"Do you think I'm stupid? But my brother revealed his true colors as soon as he came out, and it hasn't even been half a year, has it?"

Rean was too lazy to explain, and at that moment, Sallyman returned with red wine, black tea, and snacks.

Mina immediately turned to the "head of the family" and gave him a sweet smile.

In addition to doing business, she also brought a message.

"The Federation, the delegation from that neighboring country that's currently under attack, has arrived, but it seems their talks with the local officials aren't going well. They've also brought some refugees from the Kingdom of Hadur, who are playing the victim in the streets of Radiant District, causing chaos."

Instantly, Rean perked up; this was serious business.

"Is this public pressure forcing Radiant City to contribute to the war against the alien race?"
