Upon hearing this, Luminas secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Ronan then heard her thoughts.

I see……

Suddenly, Celia pushed open the door and entered.

She glanced at Luminas, treating her as just an ordinary guest, and didn't pay her much attention.

She went straight to Ronan and whispered in his ear that Farrell was coming back soon.

Luminas frowned slightly upon seeing this intimate scene.

"you…"

Before she could find out who the two were, Vlame rushed back from Feng's side.

She was so excited about the folk remedy that she didn't even notice the guest had arrived in the house, and her voice rang out without any attempt to conceal it:

“Brother Ronan, I know how to have a daughter now. Let’s try it tonight.”

"!"

This sound startled not only Luminas, but also Hinata Sakaguchi, who turned his head in surprise.

Upon seeing who it was, both of them were filled with question marks.

What's going on here...?

Chapter 172, Jingjiang Repays Kindness; Usurpation—Luminas (Resuming Double Updates)

Hinata Sakaguchi knew Vlame, whom he remembered as a little kid. She had gotten along very well with Shizuka-sensei, and the two were friends.

But now... why is it suddenly time to have a daughter?

An absurd idea suddenly popped into my head.

Hinata Sakaguchi slowly turned his head, his gaze falling on Ronan with a hint of probing, just about to speak:

"this……"

Before he could finish speaking, Vlamé noticed the two people in the room.

"Huh? Who are you? Ah, is it Hinata-neechan? Long time no see! How are you? I heard Shizue was injured, is that true?"

A barrage of questions abruptly interrupted Hinata Sakaguchi's thoughts.

Vlam walked briskly to Ronan's side, sat down naturally, and then gently patted the empty seat next to him, gesturing for Celia to join him.

The two men, one on the left and one on the right, were like two soft loaves of bread, firmly sandwiching Ronan in the middle.

Frillie sat opposite, resting her chin on her hand, observing the scene with great interest.

Four pairs of eyes turned to him at once, and Hinata Sakaguchi felt extremely uncomfortable.

—Their posture and positions clearly reveal the relationship between these people.

Seeing that Hinata Sakaguchi remained silent, Vlame tilted her head and continued to press:

"Hinata-neechan, why aren't you saying anything? Don't you... remember me?"

"I am Vlame. How is Jingjiang doing? I was planning to visit you in the Holy Kingdom of France in a while."

"I didn't expect you to arrive first... Is there something you need?"

—Of course I remember you are Vlamé, but…

Hinata Sakaguchi sighed inwardly, rubbing his throbbing temples, and took a deep breath:

"We have come to see Lord Ronan."

"Your sudden disappearance for fifty years has made Teacher Jing and me very worried."

"It's so good to see that you're all alright, but..."

She paused briefly, her gaze shifting between Vlamé and Ronan, before finally giving a vague gesture.

"Volamei, you just mentioned having a daughter..."

"You and Lord Ronan, you wouldn't have already...?"

Vlame blinked, seemingly not quite understanding the meaning of Hinata Sakaguchi's hand gesture.

But in an instant, she suddenly realized, and an innocent smile bloomed on her face:

"Oh, you mean that one? Not yet."

“Ronan said I’m too young and getting pregnant now is bad for my health, but it’s always good to prepare in advance.”

She paused, then affectionately took Ronan's arm, as if stating something utterly ordinary.

"Well, to be honest, I am now his wife, and so is my master."

"Hinata-neechan, are you asking this because you want to join us?"

"Cough cough cough—!" Upon hearing this, Hinata Sakaguchi was choked and almost spat out the tea he had just drunk.

—Join?! What a blatant and outrageous statement!

She looked up at Vlamé, only to find him looking completely at ease, as if they were discussing "what a nice day."

Hinata Sakaguchi took a deep breath, trying to calm the shock in his heart:

"Are you serious? You and your master..."

"Don't you think this kind of relationship is a bit inappropriate?"

"Is something wrong?" Vlamé tilted his head, looking puzzled.

"We're not related by blood, and Master has no objections. Hyuga-neechan, do you want to join or not?"

Vlame genuinely likes Hinata; after all, she knows very few people in this world.

Hinata is beautiful and has excellent genes. Moreover, because she comes from a different world, it will not affect Ronan's feelings for her.

However, unlike Vlamé's eager anticipation, Hinata Sakaguchi was solemn and silent at this moment.

Putting aside the fact that this body isn't her own, just this concept of sharing a husband...

She glanced at Luminas, her face expressionless, but the slight tightening of her fingers gripping the rim of the teacup betrayed her inner emotions.

Finally, Hinata Sakaguchi let out a long sigh, as if he had made up his mind:

"I'm sorry, but I still can't accept the idea of ​​a sequel, and I don't think Teacher Jing would accept it either."

"That's all for now. If there's nothing else, we'll take our leave."

As someone deeply influenced by modern ideas, Hinata Sakaguchi never considered the idea of ​​sharing a husband as a choice.

Izawa Shizue might reluctantly agree due to the limitations of her era, but Hinata Sakaguchi would never allow such a thing to happen.

She got up, grabbed Luminas's hand, and tried to leave, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't budge her.

Looking down, he saw that Luminas's eyes were fixed intently on Ronan:

"What kind of bewitching potion did you give them?"

She has lived for over ten thousand years and is very knowledgeable.

However, apart from ancient times, she has never seen a woman who could tolerate her husband remarrying at will in recent years.

This is clearly not in line with the selfish nature of human beings.

But now, she has seen it.

'Could it be that some kind of skill was used?'

Luminas frowned as she observed carefully, but quickly shook her head, dismissing her guess.

Seeing this, Vlame pouted and retorted:

"What kind of bewitching potion is this? We volunteered!"

She started counting on her fingers.

"First, Ronan is incredibly powerful; second, he's extremely good to me; third, having more wives and children can alleviate population pressure—that's common sense!"

Hinata Sakaguchi: "..."

What kind of common sense is this?

Don't set a bad example for children!

Luminas couldn't help but sneer, never expecting to be lectured by a little girl.

However, since what Vlamé said seemed to make some sense, she wasn't angry.

Vlamed then belatedly realized that he seemed to have never known the other person's name or identity, so he asked out of curiosity.

When he learned that she was the Queen of the Holy French Empire, Vlamé was taken aback.

"So, this is the person you, Hinata-neechan, are loyal to?"

She seemed to remember something, and as she spoke, she looked Luminas up and down, her words uttered without restraint.

"She looks so small. Is Sister Jingjiang under her jurisdiction too?"

"Let her come to Tianyi Kingdom. Brother Ronan is back and will take good care of her."

Upon hearing this, Luminas narrowed her eyes.

She ran her fingers over the rim of the teacup, sensing the deep distrust in Vlamé's words.

Those words seemed to be accusing him of being a god of the Holy Emperor Kingdom, yet unable to even avenge Izawa Shizue.

Hinata Sakaguchi naturally understood this meaning as well.

Before she could retort, Luminas reached out and interrupted her:

"Let me come here, and don't forget the purpose of our visit."

After saying that, she turned her gaze to Ronan, making her stance clear.

She had initially remained neutral, but upon learning of Vlame's thoughts, she resolutely decided not to let Izawa Shizue jump into the fire.

This is only their first meeting, and they're already trying to take Hinata away. Given time, who knows how many more people will get involved?
