Chapter 562 Profound Ice Forest (2)

As the mood seemed to be developing well, there was a voice that suddenly came from the door.

It was Lu'er who had just come back with the tea that she made.

Lu'er said in a sharp voice, "What are you doing to the young miss?"

Lin Fan didn't mind it, but it was clear that Angela did as she raised a hand to stop him while a blush appeared on her face.

Lin Fan clicked his tongue deep down, but he still moved away in the end.

Lu'er put the tray with the tea on a table before coming over to push Lin Fan aside, coming over to Angela's bedside. She leaned in and asked, "Young miss, did this beast do anything to you?"

Angela looked at Lin Fan with a smile on her face before patting Lu'er's head and saying, "It's fine, he's behaving for now."

Lin Fan had a bitter smile on his face when he heard what she said, but he didn't say anything in return. Instead he looked at the corner of his vision where the mission tracker was and he could see that time was slowly ticking away.

After letting Lu'er enjoy it for a bit, he said, "Where is the Profound Ice Forest?"

Lu'er was surprised to hear this from Lin Fan and it took her a while to finally react as she said, "What are you saying? That place doesn't concern you."

Lin Fan looked at her and said, "I'm going there now. Get me something to bring me there."

Lu'er's look of surprise turned into shock before she stood up from the bed and said, "Hey, human, are you looking to die? Don't overestimate yourself, that place isn't a place that you can go that easily."

Even though Lu'er's actions had made it clear that she didn't like Lin Fan, there was still a trace of concern in her voice when she said this.

Sometimes, the best friends you made were the people who you could argue with.

Angela raised her hand and patted the back of Lu'er's hand that was holding her hand.

When Lu'er felt the touch of her hand, she turned to look at Angela. She saw the calm look in her eyes and she couldn't help feeling even more anxious.

Lu'er suddenly said in a loud voice, "Your majesty…"

But before she could say anything else, Angela's aura had already fallen on her that made her swallow the rest of her words.

In her haste, she had said the two words that Angela hated hearing the most. Or at least the two words that she hated hearing the most from her.

Lu'er had a special position in this realm, while she wasn't that powerful, she was the closest person to Angela for a reason. That reason was that she was the one who had been with her the longest.

Lu'er had been with Angela since she had been born, even though Angela was a few months older than her. The two of them had been raised together since Lu'er's purpose since she had been born was to serve Angela.

However, that wasn't how Angela viewed their relationship.

Since they were young, Angela had forbidden her from addressing her in a formal manner. However, it was in Lu'er's nature to serve her, so in the end, the two of them agreed to let Lu'er call her young miss. Anything beyond that had been forbidden by Angela.

Angela had never treated Lu'er as a servant and had always wanted to treat her as a friend, or even a sister, so she always got angry when Lu'er tried to lower herself.

It was just too bad that it was in Lu'er's nature to serve Angela since that was the reason she had been born, so when she was anxious, she would make this kind of verbal slip.

Lu'er gave a gulp before changing her tone to say, "But young miss, that place really is dangerous. Are you sure you want to send him there?"

Lu'er actually viewed Angela as her big sister as well since that was just how long they had been with each other. So even if she hated Lin Fan for taking her big sister Angela away from her, she knew that Angela truly was happy with Lin Fan and that she should support her.

Now that Lin Fan was about to send himself to his death, how could she let him do that?

If he died, wouldn't her big sister Angela be sad?

Angela patted her hand again and said in a soft, but determined voice, "Trust him."

Lu'er still had a worried look, but she trusted her big sister Angela.

After giving a sigh, Lu'er stood up and headed to the door as she said to Lin Fan, "Follow me."

Lin Fan took one last look at Angela before following Lu'er out of the room.

As Angela watched the two of them leave, there was a trace of worry that flashed in her eyes as she muttered, "Be safe."

…

Lu'er closed the door behind her before leading Lin Fan through the halls of the castle again.

When Lin Fan asked where they were going, she completely ignored him and just continued forward without even turning back.

Eventually they went from the top floor where Angela's bedroom was located to the bottom floor where there was a stable. Inside of this stable, there were many different beasts in the various stalls that were all over the stable.

Looking around, Lin Fan could see all kinds of mounts like deers, lions, and even flying mounts like griffins that were in the stalls.

As a man, naturally he wanted to show off with a powerful mount, so he was looking forward to seeing which one he would be taking to the Profound Ice Forest.

However, Lu'er moved past all of these mounts and went to the very back of the stable where the mounts were…a bit strange.

Lin Fan could see that there were mounts like giant ostriches, giant dogs, and giant cats that were inside of the stalls. While he felt that it would be a bit awkward for a grown man to ride something like this, it was still in the range of what he could accept.

It was just too bad that none of these mounts were the ones that he was going to use.

They kept going through the stables until they reached the very back of the stables where there was only a single giant stall waiting there.

This stall was much bigger than the rest of the stalls, so it was clear that whatever was stored here was giant. However, since the door was so big that it completely covered up the stall, Lin Fan couldn't tell what kind of mount was inside.

Lu'er nodded to the groomers who worked in the stable and two of them came over to open the door to reveal what was inside.

The inside of the stall was dark, so Lin Fan couldn't see right away what was inside, but the light slowly came in and revealed the true appearance of the mount. When Lin Fan saw the mount that he would be taking, he was shocked.

Inside of the stall was a giant round ball that seemed like a giant ball of liquid just standing there. On the giant ball, there were two vertical lines and a single long horizontal line underneath it that formed the generic face of a NPC in a video game.

It only took a single look for Lin Fan to recognize what kind of creature this was.

It was the first mob that was featured in every fantasy NPC, the weakest mob that anyone could defeat…It was a slime!

While it was a giant slime, it was still a slime in the end…

There were cases of slimes being fast in the games that he played, but all of those were special slimes.

This slime in front of him, no matter how he looked at it, it looked like nothing more than a normal slime one might find outside of the starting village…

Lin Fan raised a hand to point at the slime as he asked, "This is the mount that I'm taking?"

Lu'er didn't look back at Lin Fan as she came forward to pet the slime, but she still said, "The mount that 'we're' taking. I'm coming with you as well."

Lin Fan knitted his brows when he heard this and he said, "You're not coming with me."

Lu'er could tell from the tone of Lin Fan's voice what he was thinking and she said, "What are you thinking? The mount can't go inside the Profound Ice Forest, so you'll need someone to watch it while you go in. Not to mention that Bu will only listen to me or the young miss, so you don't have a choice."

Lin Fan realized that she was right. The mount couldn't just be left there and she wouldn't be in danger if she waited with the mount. But then he realized his next problem.

Lin Fan asked, "You're saying that this slime belongs to Angela?"

Lu'er looked at Lin Fan with a confused look and said, "What's wrong? This is the young miss' personal mount, you should be happy that we're even letting you ride him."

Lin Fan couldn't help knitting his brows again as he looked at the slime.

This was Angela's personal mount?

Was there a mistake?

Why would someone who ruled over a realm of this level have a slime as their mount?

Weren't there plenty of other better mounts for her to use all around them?
