It seems the only option is to wait for the police to help her find Lulum and have Lulum come and take her out.

Lulum is, after all, a nobleman. Although the police seem to have never heard of Lulum's surname, finding a nobleman related to the Shadow King is not a difficult task.

Someone should be coming to pick her up soon.

Just as Chloe was thinking this, two policemen led a familiar figure to her cell door.

Because it was a cell in a detention center, the doors were all made of iron bars, and Chloe could see clearly whoever came in.

Although the person who came looked very haggard and was dressed in tattered clothes, Chloe recognized her at a glance.

Linfair! This guy finally came to find her!

Are they here to take her out?

Just as Chloe was thinking this, one of the policemen leading Linfair opened the cell door opposite Chloe, and then the policeman threw Linfair into the cell.

Chloe: ?

Lin Fei'er: ? ? ?

Looking haggard, Ling Feier seemed to only notice Chloe opposite her after being locked in the cell. At that moment, Chloe and Ling Feier's expressions were synchronized.

Linfair and Chloe stared at each other, dumbfounded for a while, before exclaiming in unison, "What are you doing here? / What are you doing in here?"

So Chloe told Linfair about her experiences over the past few days, and Linfair also told Chloe about her experiences over the past few days.

A few days ago, Chloe accidentally caused a teleportation error while using the teleportation scroll. To fix the situation, Linfiel tried to throw the teleportation scroll between the two of them, hoping that their teleportation locations wouldn't be too far off.

Who knew that Lin Feier, in her panic, dropped the item a little too far away from her.

Chloe was lucky; at least she was only teleported to the territory of a vampire noble. If the vampires had discovered her, she would have had a chance to explain.

Lin Fei'er's luck wasn't so good. She was teleported to the core area of ​​the Starry Forest, and then just happened to be teleported to the territory of the only two super magical beasts in the Starry Forest.

Unfortunately, due to a bad teleportation landing point, she accidentally injured a rabbit.

As for what was so special about that rabbit, Linfei couldn't tell, but after she injured the rabbit, she was chased by two angry super monsters.

This chase lasted for eight days, which shows just how furious the two super monsters were.

Fortunately, the two super monsters were enormous and not fast, so although Linfeier was not strong enough, she managed to escape by hiding and risking her life with her assassin skills.

After eight days and eight nights, she finally shook off the two super monsters and returned to the Demon King's castle. However, after entering the castle, she was arrested by the police as a suspicious person because she was dirty and disheveled and had a ferocious expression (due to exhaustion).

Because she had exhausted her physical strength and magic during her escape, and had lost everything that could prove her identity, she gave up on explaining and struggling, and decided to go to the detention center to rest for a while.

After all, she had been running around for eight days and eight nights straight with her mind on edge, and she was really about to collapse.

Unexpectedly, she met Chloe here.

Chapter Twenty-Two: Waaaaah, my Lulum!

Chloe expressed great sympathy after hearing about Linfair's experiences over the past few days.

However, she couldn't help but laugh out loud when she heard the end.

No wonder he hasn't come to see her for so many days; it turns out she's in dire straits herself.

No one can be this unlucky. I never thought there could be someone even more unlucky than her. Chloe said that she, the unlucky one, finally has some psychological comfort.

But as they laughed and enjoyed themselves, how were they supposed to get out of the police station now?

Regarding this issue, Lin Feier said that she would have a solution once she rested and regained her strength.

Seeing Linfair fall asleep like this, Chloe could only raise her dead fish eyes and continue lying on the prison bed.

She wants to get out, and there really isn't any other way at the moment; all she can do now is wait.

She either had to wait for Lulu to come and take her out, or she had to wait for Linfiel to rest so she could see her so-called "good method".

However, Chloe did not wait for Linfair to wake up in the end, because two more policemen led someone to her cell door.

This time, another dark elf came, and one that Chloe recognized.

But in the end, he did not win a second time.

Because this time, the dark elf was sent by Lulum to take her away.

"Hello, Miss Chloe. Although this is not our first meeting, please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Linnael, and I am now under Lady Lulum's command. I have come to take you home on Lady Lulum's orders."

As for why she looked familiar, Chloe glanced at Linfair, who was sleeping like a log in the opposite cell, and she remembered her.

Isn't this the dark elf that teamed up with Linfeier the other day and got taken down by her?

After hearing the dark elf named Linnael introduce herself, Chloe pointed at Linfeel opposite her and asked curiously, "Linnael? The names are so similar, what's your relationship with this Linfeel?"

Linnael turned to look at Linfeel, whose previously expressionless face now held a hint of disdain and mockery. Then she turned back to Chloe and said in a flat voice:

"I don't know her. The name must be a coincidence. Alright, Miss Chloe, come with me. Lady Lulum said she misses you."

You guys definitely know each other, right? You even teamed up to try and catch me before, and now you're pretending not to know me... Well, I would pretend not to know this guy too.

Chloe looked at Linfair, who was sleeping soundly with drool on her face and a silly expression, and suddenly understood why Linnair had pretended not to know her.

"By the way, you should know how I got arrested, right? Can you help me find a way to block out charm skills?"

Chloe originally intended to leave directly with Linnelle, but as she was about to go, she noticed the two policemen leading Linnelle looking awkward and their eyes darting around. Suddenly, she thought of her own irresistible allure.

Linnael seemed to have anticipated Chloe's question, so she simply took a ring out of her pocket and handed it to Chloe.

"Lady Lulum asked me to give this to you, Miss, saying it can solve your problem."

Chloe took the ring, tried it on, and finally slipped it onto the middle finger of her right hand.

After she put on the ring, the effect was immediate. She saw that the two policemen's expressions instantly improved, and they looked as if they had breathed a sigh of relief.

Chloe was relieved.

Before leaving the cell in the detention center, Chloe pointed at Linfair and said, "Are you sure you don't need to take her with you?"

"No need, let her stay a little longer." Linnaer looked at Linfeier, who was still sleeping and unresponsive, and said with a hint of sarcasm.

As long as Linnael brings Chloe back, all the credit for bringing Chloe back will go to her. What obligation does she have to bring Linfei back with her?

……

Chloe originally thought that Linnael would take her to the vicinity of the Demon King's palace. After all, since Lulum could directly command the Shadow King's subordinates, her status in the Demon King's castle must not be low.

They live right next to the Demon King's palace, after all.

Unexpectedly, Linnael did not take her near the Demon King's Palace, nor even to the noble district of the Demon King's city. Instead, she took her to a secluded little house in the residential area.

Chloe was puzzled. Could it be that Lulum, a powerful demon noble, lived in a place like this? That didn't seem right…

Seemingly noticing Chloe's confusion, Linnael immediately explained to Chloe:

"Miss Chloe, this is Lady Lulum's arrangement. You will stay here for the time being. Lady Lulum's work in the Demon King's Castle is quite special, so she cannot bring you to her side directly. She will have to wait until she has made the arrangements before she can take you over."

"Huh? Does that mean I can't see Lulum right now?"

Chloe tried to act like a child, and said with a somewhat disappointed expression.

However, upon hearing about Lulum's unusual job, she already had many doubts in her mind.

What kind of job could make Lulum come to the Demon King's Castle without me? What job could make Lulum unable to find time to look for me? Even though I was already inside the Demon King's Castle, she still had to send someone to pick me up.

Could it be that Lulum is being threatened by the Shadow King? Is she unable to free herself at all? Or rather... does she have no personal freedom at all?

Based on the information currently available, Chloe could only guess at this situation.

This conjecture made Chloe's originally good mood turn somewhat heavy.

She just hoped Lulum was alright, otherwise she didn't know what she might do...

However, what Linnael said next overturned Chloe's conjecture.

Seeing Chloe's disappointed expression, Linnael realized she hadn't explained herself clearly, so she continued, "It's not that you won't see Lady Lulum here, it's just that we've arranged for you to stay here temporarily... Well then, Lady Lulum will be here soon, and she'll explain everything to you then."

Is Lulum coming over later? That would be wonderful! I'd love to see Lulum!

With her suspicions refuted, Chloe felt a little better. She figured she could just ask Lulum, who would surely explain everything to her.

Chloe wanted to chat with Linnael while waiting for Lulum to learn about the events in the Demon King's castle and Lulum, but Linnael left shortly after leading her to their destination, citing "going back to report."

So Chloe was left to wait alone in the house.

As darkness fell, just as Chloe was about to fall asleep, the front door of the house was suddenly pushed open.

The person who pushed open the door was a figure completely wrapped in a black robe.

Even though she couldn't see the face clearly, Chloe could recognize who it was, so she immediately got up and rushed into the figure's arms.

With tears welling in her eyes, she cried out in the figure's arms:

"Lulum! I miss you so much!"

Chapter Twenty-Three: Demonized Plants = Plant-Type Demons

Chloe was naturally very happy to finally see Lulum.

Although it had only been about ten days since Chloe was separated from Lulum, it felt as if she hadn't seen Lulum for a year.

So from the moment Lulum entered the room, she clung to Lulum, telling her about the things that had happened to her in the past few days.

She also specifically mentioned Linfei'er's matter, asking Lulu to help her teach Linfei'er a lesson.

However, Chloe is not a real child after all. During the short time she spent chatting with Lulum, she also noticed that there were many things that were not right about Lulum.

Because Lulum has indeed changed quite a bit.

After only ten days apart, Chloe couldn't help but feel sorry for Lulum when she saw her current state.

The most noticeable change in Lulu was her face; she looked deeply haggard.

Although Lulum tried her best to hide her haggard appearance, it was to no avail.

Even Lulu's originally beautiful pink hair was now studded with white.

No wonder Lulum didn't intend to take off her hood from the moment she entered.

Seeing Lulum like this, Chloe suggested that Lulum take a rest, but Lulum smiled and refused.

Furthermore, Lulum wanted to take the initiative to tell Chloe some things:

"Chloe, there's something I want to tell you..."

But Lulum stopped halfway through her sentence, her slightly open mouth agape, and she was speechless for a moment.

She didn't know how to explain the situation to Chloe.

After all, in her eyes, Chloe, though very smart, was still a newborn child who didn't know much. So when she tried to explain things like "family," "identity," and "duty" to Chloe, she didn't know where to begin.

Seeing the hesitant expression on Lulum's face, and the way she seemed to want to speak but then swallowed her words, Chloe seemed to guess what Lulum was hesitating about.

So she began, "Lulu, you must have had some urgent matter that prevented you from coming to see me in person, right? You don't need to explain that to me, I understand. But could you tell me what you do in the Demon King's Castle? You look a bit thin..."

Upon hearing Chloe's question, Lulum regained her healing smile and said to Chloe, "It's nothing really. I'm just dealing with some things my mother left behind, and I can't get away for the time being. Although it has taken a lot of physical and mental effort to take over those things, I'll be fine after a while."

So it's about the Lulum family? That makes sense. As a noble family, anything that happens to the Lulums is bound to be very troublesome.

When Chloe heard Lulum's description, this was just a reasonable guess.

When Chloe wanted to ask what had made Lulum look so haggard and if she could help, Lulum answered her question first:

"As for the matter at hand... to put it simply, it's about maintaining a powerful seal. It's not that difficult, it just takes a lot of mental energy when taking over the seal, but it gets better after that."

Although Lulum glossed over the details of her job, Chloe could tell from her haggard appearance that it was definitely not an easy job.

If the seal that the Four Heavenly Kings of the Demon Clan had to ask Lulu to maintain proves that the Four Heavenly Kings were helpless against that seal.

I never expected Lulum to be so strong.

This prompted Chloe to subconsciously open Lulum's panel and glance at Lulum's level.

After all, the function to check the level was fixed after Lulum left, and she had never seen Lulum's level before.

[Level: 91 (God-level)]

Chloe: !

Level 91, God-level! Chloe never expected that Lulum would be even stronger than she had been before.
