Xi'er gritted her teeth and shouted, realizing that her strongest attack had been easily blocked by Gu Yan.

Furthermore, she discovered that the scythe she used to slay the monsters of the Rift Realm could not even leave a mark on the iron chain at this moment.

"Hmm~ Who knows? It's not a big deal for a warden who arrests criminals to be a little strong."

Gu Yan shrugged.

Xi'er floated beside Gu Yan, pulled by the iron chains.

Upon hearing this...

Seele gritted her teeth.

She looked at Gu Yan, who was dressed smartly, and her eyes couldn't help but redden slightly.

"And another thing! All these years, you've claimed to have left this planet, but you've actually been in the upper echelons, haven't you?!"

"Did you create the separation order? You just don't want to see us!"

“We’re all penniless, that’s why you don’t like us! You prefer Bronya and her mother from the upper class!!”

The more Seele spoke, the more agitated she became.

She even started sobbing softly at the end.

"What is all this nonsense?"

"Why are you talking nonsense?"

Gu Yan's lips twitched. What was this kid thinking?

"There are reasons why I left."

"Lola—explain."

Gu Yan gestured towards the tool person, Lola.

Upon hearing this, the latter raised an eyebrow.

I'm so angry and cold! Can't you speak up if you don't have a mouth?!

I'm a secretary! I'm a human being!! Not a machine that repeats explanations!

I have a temper too, okay?!

I don't want to do this anymore!!

Ten minutes later.

That's how it is.

Lola solemnly explained Gu Yan's 'glorious achievements' over the years.

Seele was stunned.

She looked at Gu Yan and said incredulously, "You're that amazing?"

"Are you an advocate for interstellar peace?"

"All criminals tremble with fear at the mere sight of you, their legs going weak?!"

Seele stopped crying, and her eyes began to sparkle.

Seriously? None of my family members understand? Gu Yan has been gone for years, but his charm... has only increased!

"Yes, absolutely!"

"This warden clearly distinguishes between public and private matters; no criminal can hide!"

Gu Yan raised his head and smiled disdainfully.

However, he was completely oblivious to the disdainful look that Lola was giving him.

You bastard...

Let's deal with the fake accounts first...

but...

Lola listened to Gu Yan's earlier words about going back to sleep on the upper floor.

Suddenly, I felt a surge of nervousness.

How many rooms did they book?

If it's just one room.....

Oh dear...aren't there those in space novels?

The boss took his secretary on a business trip.

And then...and then...

Oh dear, I'm too embarrassed to think about it anymore!

Chapter 12 This is the key to your room.

Panyan Town.

At the entrance where it meets Rivet Town.

After giving the wounded some basic first aid, Natasha arrived here with the rest of the Earthfire members.

They looked into the distance with worried and solemn expressions.

“Gu Yan...Xi'er..."

"You must all be safe and sound..."

Natasha's hands were clenched tightly together.

at last.

A few minutes later.

"Sister Natasha! Look!"

Three figures approached from a distance.

Hook shouted excitedly.

"Someone?"

"They're back! It seems like they're back!"

"Wait a minute, why is Seele floating in the sky?"

"Hmm? Has Seele gained weight?"

The members of the Earthfire group gradually changed from excitement to confusion.

It wasn't until Gu Yan and the others approached that they finally stopped.

Only then did everyone get a clear look at Seele's appearance.

The other person, looking utterly ashamed, was bound up like a dumpling and floated in the sky.

"Hey! Let go of me! You bastard!"

Seele gritted her teeth and shouted, "How dare you make me lose face in front of everyone!"

Gu Yan, you just wait!

"Is this how you treat your savior, Seele?"

"I'll be very sad."

Gu Yan had a sudden thought.

The chains slowly untied Seele's body and gently placed her on the ground.

"Hmph! I don't need you! I can defeat that Rift creature myself!"

Seele gave a stubborn snort.

She would never admit that Gu Yan saved her!

"Alright, Xi'er, Gu Yan just got back. You need to be more sensible."

Natasha smiled helplessly.

"Humph!"

"Who told him to come back..."

Seele hummed softly, but a hint of joy could be heard in her voice.

The matter is resolved.

On the way back.

Natasha walked side by side with Gu Yan, turning her head to look at him several times, but still couldn't bring herself to ask what was on her mind.

"Natasha, why are you staring at me like that?"

"You're not asking if I'm leaving this time, are you?"

Gu Yan had already noticed Natasha's gaze, so he turned his head and asked.

"..."

Natasha blushed slightly, brushed a strand of hair behind her ear, and whispered, "Mmm."

"Last time you left without a word, how long are you planning to stay this time?"

"If you leave, how long will it take for you to come back?"

Natasha's tone was somewhat somber, reflecting on their last meeting.

It has been more than ten years.

She has grown from a young girl into the current leader of the Earth Fire.

Gu Yan, however, remains as young as he was back then.

She could guess a little, and she was also afraid that the situation she had in mind would happen.
