Chapter 322 - Lilian And Yuyin’s Plan

Immediately, Seth activated his safety measure and assumed a straight stance. His thick skin entered into auto mode and he gave the five girls a polite mild smile, as if he had forgotten everything that have happened.

"Hello there, young and beautiful ladies. Is there anything I can do for you?"

"I knew sooner or later you would end up revealing your true nature." Impressively, the first one to say something was Lilian. However, her words contained a hidden jealousy and a bit of anger.

"Lilian! How are you? What are you talking about? True nature...? Oh! I see... I'm sorry for not telling you about being a half-devil." Seth quickly assumed a polite posture, as if he was sorry for hiding that fact from her.

Lilian realized he was trying to led the conversation to another direction, assuming that polite and shameless posture, but she found herself oddly enjoying playing that game with him.

"Oh? Actually, you should call yourself a full lecherous devil and not just a half one."

Seth looked at Lilian and saw that she was kind of smiling the same way he was and he realized that she was developing a method to keep up with him.

'Holy shit! This idiot Lord Phoenix Spirit imparted too much knowledge with her... Damn it! What if she ends up turning into another Lexi?' Seth's mind got shaken by that possibility, but Lilian hadn't finished yet.

"Look at my younger sister... How are you going to compensate us for what you've done?! I doubt she is going to fully recover after hearing those absurd noises."

"Ehm..." Seth realized he was out of words. Lilian had easily ripped his thick skin off and he was left with no way to run away now. She had even used her poor little sister to checkmate him.

But at that moment, Arwen finally intervened to save him some face.

"Sigh... At least you are fine. I'd never have thought that you would recover from an injury like that in just a bit more than two weeks. We are going to finally have a peaceful night of sleep now."

When Elyra heard Arwen's words, she couldn't believe that the Elf Queen could so easily ignore what had happened. She had completely changed topics and giving Seth a way out. Elyra even felt her embarrassment dying down after hearing those words.

Seth was inwardly screaming in joy, when suddenly, he realized something.

"Wait... Did you say that a bit more than two weeks has passed already?"

"Hm? Yes. You fell unconscious for almost seventeen days."

"!!!" Seth got shocked after hearing that. He thought he had slept for a single night, before he woke up at that room, but it turned out that the strange dream he had, a simple dream that took a few minutes long, had actually happened in the span of more than two weeks.

"At least... It seems you are full of energy and vigor, after the events that had just happened."

Seth felt embarrassed and started to scratch his head. However, he noticed neither Arwen nor Rina, seemed to be bothered by that. Actually, it seemed they were eager to talk to him and spend some time together.

But out of nowhere, Arwen turned towards Rina and said: "Rina, we're going back."

Seth got a bit confused, but Arwen swiftly turned to him while looking towards Lilian and continued: "I feel like you have some things to talk, so I and Rina are going to leave first. Make sure to meet us later in our new living place, I'm certain that you will be able to find where it is."

"Mom, I want to..." Rina was about to complain, but Arwen suddenly patted her head and calmed her down.

"Don't worry Rina, I'm certain you will be able to spend a lot of time with him later."

Rina looked towards Seth, but she ultimately followed her mother's decision.

"Rina, I will soon visit you and I will tell you some amazing stories about what happened all this while." Seth tried to cheer her up and was actually successful.

Rina smiled and some seconds later, they said their goodbyes and departed from there.

Elyra used that opportunity to sneak out of that scene as well, but Seth realized her strange actions and made a mental notice to find her later on. After staying such a long time away, he missed her as well and their story together was still a bit confused and lacking in some aspects.

Seth wanted to improve his relationship with her as well, but his life was such a wild and complicated mess during this past year, that they weren't able to leave from that stage they were in since the beginning.

After those three beautiful elves left, Seth was left alone together with Lilian and Yuyin. Their red hairs were equally eye-catching, but Seth wasn't able to take his eyes off of Lilian. Yuyin was still not an adult, but she was actually reaching a premature beauty that could easily enchant someone.

Fortunately for Seth, he was too focused on Lilian to notice Yuyin changes.

Lilian's appearance now could only be described as a Flame Goddess. If it wasn't because he still felt guilty, he would certainly hit on her like he had done once before. Whenever his eyes met her figure, he could feel his blood churning, getting hotter and he wondered if this was one of the side effects brought by her divine-like changes.

Suddenly, Seth remembered that not only Lilian had lost her father, but her entire nation was destroyed as well and he felt like asking her about her future plans, breaking that strange silence that was starting to form.

"Lilian, what do you plan on doing now? Are you going to return to the Blazing Phoenix Country?"

After hearing his words, Lilian and Yuyin's mood suddenly changed. They suddenly left from that frivolous kind of mood, to a more serious one. They had discussed about it before and they reached the conclusion they wanted to rebuild their nation, but without resources, it would be something impossible.

"Father has always loved the Blazing Phoenix Country, so I hope to rebuild it from scratch and create a secure and peaceful nation, like he had always wished it was. But I know it's unlikely we will be able to do it. Now that the Fire Labyrinth is no more, we don't have a natural source of resources that we can use to rebuild it."

Seth heard her words and the heavy sensation brought by her sad intonation and an idea popped up in his head.

"No... I'm certain you will. Actually, there is a way for us to get a good number of resources relatively easy. The Lion's Pride Golden palace was destroyed and their fortune was probably ransacked already, but I'm certain that the Demonic Shadow Royal Clan still has everything they accumulated till this day, inside their territory. It is impossible for people to figure out that Velgor is dead so quickly and even if they did, none of them would dare raiding the Demonic Shadow Royal Castle, since they represent a lot more than just a powerful sect for the whole Demonic Territory."

Seth wickedly smiled and continued: "And since Serene isn't going to live there anymore, they won't need those resources."

After hearing his words, Lilian smiled. She even decided to forget about what had happened a few minutes ago.

"I knew you really were a lecherous devil. Planning to rob your own clan..."

"Ahahaha."

"Good. Sicne you are fine, I and Yuyin are going to return to the Blazing Phoenix Country today. I'll be waiting for this adventure you proposed, so make sure to invite me over for that when you go back to the Demon Territory."

"Sis, Big Brother Seth, I'll tag along with you two as well." Yuyin swiftly added. She felt content and spirited when she realized they would go on an adventure.

"Good. I'll make sure to show you two some really interesting places on the Demon Territory. This trip will be amazing, I promise." Lilian was about to say no, but Seth acted quicker and agreed, not giving time for her to deny Yuyin's participation.

After thanking them for coming to help him, Seth accompanied Lilian and Yuyin around the Allakiir Mansion, until they found the exit and finally left. But before they disappeared, Lilian asked Seth to thank that brunette elven lady one more time for her, since she had helped her sister dealing with Second Shadow.

Lilian and Yuyin had already personally talked with Elyra, but Lilian felt really grateful and asked Seth do it once again for her.

Seth was surprised to find out that even Elyra had helped him in that battle and he decided to go thank her later.

Lilian and Yuyin had to devise a plan on how to rebuild their fallen nation and with Seth's idea, they could better picture it happening now. But apart from resources, there were so many other things that were required to be made, that they really couldn't waste too much time staying in the Elven Kingdom yet.

Lilian had to unify the hundreds of small factions that were breaking lose all over her country, as well as recreate their security unit. At least, after what had happened with not only the Wu Martial Kingdom, but with the StormWind Valley as well, she was certain no other external forces would try to attack them yet.. But if they did, they would have to deal with the powerful flames of a Mana Sovereign Realm entity.
