A Man in Another World: The Yellow-Haired Warrior Who Infiltrated Pure Love

"So, if the words contain interjections like 'Actually, I'd prefer to,' 'I'm doing this for you,' or 'I'll just rub against you without going in,' I don't believe them at all."

Yuan Hua chuckled and scoffed, clearly amused by Luo Fu's earlier words.

"How could that be... There were so many people watching at the time..."

Torreya was stunned. He finally realized the wickedness of society and that his fate had been arranged by others long ago.

"I'm only telling you this now that things have come to this point, so I advise you to take it easy."

Yuan Hua picked up a piece of pickled vegetable and stuffed it into the steamed bun.

“I have a bold guess: your parents know that you compete with your brother in everything, so they deliberately let you hear about this and then arranged for you to participate in the marriage selection ceremony.”

"After all, there aren't that many coincidences in this world."

"..."

Torreia frowned, beginning to ponder Yuan Hua's words...

"You didn't lie to me?"

"I wasn't lying to you before, but whether your parents did it on purpose is just my guess."

Yuan Hua did not make a decision immediately.

"Don't be silly and go ask him. After all, he's your father. If he finds out that you can't even figure out what he's thinking, then you and the Crown Prince will basically be saying goodbye."

"If you really want to know if they did it on purpose, I'll teach you. Take Luo Biluo back to see them and see their reactions. If they show surprise and panic, even if they did it on purpose, it's not to trick you, but for your own good, because they don't know what Luo Biluo looks like."

"If they remain calm, it means they already knew what Luo Biluo looked like, so it's no surprise that they did it on purpose."

Yuan Hua promptly gave Torreya a suggestion.

"Okay, let's put this matter aside for now. Brother Yuan Hua, give me a straight answer: who is better, me or Toka?"

Torreya was somewhat indignant.

"Your brother."

Yuan Hua blurted it out without even thinking.

"No, why?!"

Torrea's voice was tinged with doubt and anger; how could he be inferior to Toca?

"Because that kid called me brother-in-law."

Yuan Hua was delighted.

"When that kid first met me, he started promoting his sister."

"what?"

Torrea froze...

Yuan Hua tugged at Torrea's sleeve and pressed Torrea back into his seat.

"I'm just an adventurer. I have no say in your competition for the crown prince position. I'm just answering your question from the perspective of the people."

"..."

Torreya immediately understood Yuan Hua's meaning.

(P.S.: To explain, in the Western Middle Ages, the kings of some countries did not inherit the throne by primogeniture, but were elected. They were usually chosen from among people of high status and prestige. In short, the people voted on which prince had the highest prestige and that prince succeeded to the throne.)

"You don't give a good impression because you're too proud."

Yuan Hua put down the steamed bun in his hand and gestured to the maid beside him to take it away. As the maid bent down, Yuan Hua also wiped his hands on the maid's body.

"Eek—"

The maid who was clearing away the dishes blushed and ran off...

"Brother Yuan Hua, I really want to improve. Can you help me get that position?"

Torreia grabbed Yuan Hua's hand and looked at him with a sincere expression...

"Tsk..."

That sounds like something a corrupt official would say...

"Go away, go away, you dare to ask me, an outsider, for help? How could you even think of that?"

Yuan Hua crossed his legs, tapped the table lightly with his index finger, and emphasized the word "outsider"...

"!!!"

Torreya was quick-witted; he scrambled over to Yuan Hua's side and started massaging Yuan Hua's legs.

Yuan Hua nodded in satisfaction. "He's capable of taking things on and letting them go; he's a promising talent."

"Brother-in-law! From now on, you are my dearest brother-in-law! Don't mind Toka, my sister's marriage will naturally be presided over by her beloved little brother!"

Torreya has no shame!

"Tsk..."

Yuan Hua pulled a lollipop out of his pocket and popped it into his mouth.

"You've got guts, haven't you?"

"Brother-in-law, you don't understand. There are so many 'contrast-bitch' types these days. What's wrong with me following the trend?"

Torreya looked at Yuan Hua with a fawning expression, which sent chills down Yuan Hua's spine...

Could this kid have suffered some kind of trauma and become gay?

Regardless of Yuan Hua's speculations, Torreya has already broken off all pretense of civility.

He had witnessed Yuan Hua's abilities firsthand, and he was certain that Yuan Hua would be among the ranks of the strong in the future, not to mention that he had an orc high priest standing behind him.

What's wrong with a person with a clean background and transparent identity sacrificing a little bit of worthless face?

He's not the king anymore, so as long as this kind of private matter doesn't escalate, it has nothing to do with the royal family's reputation.

Since my sister has already been "sold" once, what's wrong with being "sold" again?

My sister has to get married eventually, doesn't she?

Chapter 147 On Space-Time Magic

"Alright, it's settled then. You're leaving tomorrow morning, right? I'll come find you."

Yuan Hua got up and left the palace dining room...

"This is really giving me a headache..."

Torrea scratched his head, crossed his legs, and looked up at the ceiling...

"I absolutely, absolutely cannot be outdone by my brother."

"..."

……

"Ruth, have you missed me?"

Yuan Hua took advantage of this opportunity to release Ruth.

What could be more alluring than a fox that calls out "My benefactor"?

"My benefactor~ I'm almost in tears~"

As soon as Ruth came out of the darkroom, she clung to Yuan Hua...

"You locked me in a dark room, I was so scared... My heart is so cold... I'm so pitiful, sob sob sob..."

"Should I go back to that little dark house in that luxurious single-level apartment of over 1,000 square meters with an Alice in Wonderland garden?"

Ruth looked at Yuan Hua pitifully, her little mouth pouting high...

“My benefactor, Ruth only wants to stay by your side…”

What's wrong? Is this 1,000+ square meter apartment too small for you?

You call a large, single-level apartment a "dark room"?

Yuan Hua suddenly felt a darkness engulf his vision...

Even someone as wealthy as Lilia complained that her darkroom was too big.

"As for tomorrow, it depends on the situation, but I can definitely spend time with you today."

Yuan Hua yawned, stroked Ruth's fox ears, and then pressed Ruth's head down...

"Waaah... My benefactor, you're so mean..."

……

"Huh? We're going to the Human Empire?"

Ruth's eyes widened...

"Does that mean I can't move around freely?"

Human society can accept orcs, but the rate of beautiful female orcs being abducted in human empires is still very high, especially fox-people like Ruth who are powerless.

Although Ruth has already had the tattoo applied, it hasn't been long, and she hasn't had time to absorb enough Kun fluid from Yuan Hua to become stronger.

Yuan Hua had a premonition that once Ruth's tattoo absorbed enough Kunqing liquid, she would likely grow a tail.

Rebirth: Raising a Q-tail in a Western Fantasy World

"That's not the case."

Yuan Hua shook his head slightly.

"If you follow me, would I ever let you suffer any injustice?"

"That's true..."

Ruth threw herself into Yuan Hua's arms.

"Then it's settled. My benefactor, you must protect me well, after all, I'm just a weak young woman."

The words "benefactor" and "little woman" gradually became Ruth's verbal tic, because Ruth found that Yuan Hua's attitude would become much warmer whenever she said these two words.
