It's very difficult for someone to calm down when they've suddenly gotten the one thing they've wanted for a long time - Fanny was in that position right now. First it was Han Shuo's return, then it was the joy of learning that her strength was about to increase by leaps and bounds. These made it absolutely impossible for Fanny to calm down.
After trying for a while, Han Shuo discovered that Fanny's soul had been in an agitated state all along and had no way of carefully perceiving his actions. For lack of a better option, Han Shuo gave up. When he noticed Fanny's growing anxiety, he said reassuringly, "It's okay. There's no need to rush."
"Yes, just leave it for today. That wretch is back anyway. There'll be plenty of time in the future," Phoebe comforted Fanny with a smile.
Something suddenly occurred to Han Shuo and he took a quick look at Phoebe and Emily. He noticed a genuine happiness on their faces. They were happy for Fanny instead of being jealous and unhappy as he had imagined.
When he left the Profound Continent, he knew there were still some barriers between his three ladies. He had even thought of excuses to appease his other two ladies. To his surprise, the three of them actually got along very well. He had certainly not expected such behaviour.
Emily's round eyes circled around Han Shuo's face and seemed to understand what was on his mind. She put on an adorable smile and said, "You must think we would be jealous?"
"A little. I did not expect your relationship to be so close," Han Shuo admitted with a doubtful face.
"You were away for five years. During those long days, the three of us were only able to feel your presence when we met and told each other about our previous interactions with you. For those five years, the three of us had to gather and meet every other day to get by. There were no more barriers or divisions between us," Emily told Han Shuo with a chuckle.
Phoebe also scowled at Han Shuo. As if to demonstrate how close she was to Fanny, she took Fanny by the arm and glared at Han Shuo as she said, "Our relationship is even more intimate than what we share with you!"
Han Shuo was stunned for a moment before he exclaimed in surprise, "Even more intimate? Could it be that the three of you have been doing some kind of activity while I've been away?"
Blushing immediately appeared on the ladies' faces as they simultaneously countered, "Of course not!"
"You wretch, what are you thinking?" Phoebe slapped Han Shuo hard. She blushed as she angrily said, "We're not as licentious as you. But that dark elf you brought back suggested it to us."
"" Adele?" Han Shuo was alarmed and said angrily, "You did not let her have her way, did you?"
"Who is Adele?" Phoebe asked.
"She's the dark elf you mentioned. Her real name was Adele," Han Shuo quickly explained before hurriedly saying, "That woman is no good. Hell, the three of you are my women and no one but me can touch you! Not even for another woman!"
Emily furrowed her brow and replied solemnly, "We did not! Though she claimed to be your woman, her origins were vague and unknown. We have always been on our guard against her," Emily continued after a short pause, "She is an overly scheming person and would do so even against her own people. We didn't like that and only pretended to be civil with her."
"You definitely have a keen sense of character," Han Shuo sighed and explained, "This woman came to Brettel City with terrible intentions and messed around in my territory. The very first thing I did upon my return was to kill her!"
"You killed her? How could you be so willing to kill such a beautiful lady?" Phoebe looked at Han Shuo in a strange way and doubted, "You raped her before you killed her, didn't you?"
Han Shuo was speechless.
Han Shuo stared at Phoebe with a look on his face that was so obviously upset by her comments. He noticed that she was getting smarter and smarter. She actually figured out what he had done back there in no time. To cover up his actions, Han Shuo pretended to grieve bitterly and said, "My God, Phoebe, how could your mind be so perverted? You might as well ask if I killed her before raping her. She went to a lot of trouble just to kill me. Of course I can't give her a chance to succeed."
"Bryan, what really happened?" when Fanny heard that Adele had actively planned to kill her man, she did not have the slightest bit of sympathy for Adele and even became quite angry.
Of course, Han Shuo would not reveal his crime of raping and murdering Adele. Instead, he accused Adele of some evil deed and dodged the matter.
"Alright, alright, let's not talk about it anymore. I'm going to the palace to talk to Lawrence. I will come back for you all right after." Han Shuo still had real business to attend to. Even if it wasn't for the Lancelot Empire, for all the people he cared about, Han Shuo would still lend a helping hand to Lawrence.
At this point, Han Shuo felt that Grace's prophecy was indeed incredibly accurate. It was because of his appearance that Lawrence was able to ascend the throne and conquer the seven grand duchies. Later, when he disappeared, the Lancelot Empire fell into a predicament. Now that he had returned, the Lancelot Empire would soon see the return of its glory days.
All signs indicated that as long as he remained in the Lancelot Empire, it would thrive and prosper! This was Grace's prediction to the letter!
The Edict of Fate is indeed a miraculous power, Han Shuo lamented.
"Um, we've been waiting for you to come back for so long, and it hasn't been easy. Can't you keep us company a little longer?" All three ladies had bitterness in their eyes as Emily said these words.
"We'll have plenty of time in the future!" Han Shuo explained with a smile.
Soon, after a brief thought, he seemed to realise something from the bitterness shown by Emily. He forced a smile as he shook his head and said, "I have already explained. This is not my original body. When it comes to this matter... it's just not convenient!"
Upon hearing Han Shuo's reminder, the three of them immediately came to their senses. Knowing that Han Shuo had figured out the urge in their hearts, the three of them suddenly exchanged glances and immediately blushed. They shamefully shouted, "Alright, go!"
"Don't worry. When my main body returns, I will feed you all until you are completely satisfied. We will have another orgy!"
Han Shuo laughed heartily and smugly. His body then turned into a flash of light and disappeared from their view.
"That wretch, such indecency!" Phoebe said angrily with rosy cheeks.
After a while, when she noticed that the other two ladies weren't talking, she couldn't help but look at Fanny and Emily in confusion. She noticed that they were both blushing, their bright eyes filled with amorous feelings, their tender bodies soft and powerless - it was as if they were imagining some wonderful activity.
"You two little bitches in heat, just look at how excited you are right now. If your admirers could see you right now, they would be so shocked that they would have heart attacks," Phoebe knew with one look what was on their minds and rebuked them with a smile.
"Aren't you the same? Look in the mirror before you criticise us. You don't look any better than we do!" Fanny scolded as she giggled uncontrollably. The room was filled with happy giggles. The worries that had plagued them for the past five years were gone.
"Lord Bryan, you are truly an example to us all. You have managed to subdue the three great goddesses of the Empire and make them so docile!"
"Really? Lord Bryan is the legend of our Dark Mantle - the pride of our Empire! Only a character like his lordship has the means to make the three goddesses of our Empire surrender and willingly wait five long years for his return!"
"He must be a god!"
Those members of the Dark Mantle who heard the melodious laughter were simply in awe of Han Shuo and worshipped him like the Almighty.
Han Shuo effortlessly made his way through the layers of defences surrounding the Imperial Palace of the Lancelot Empire. He arrived at Lawrence's personal office room unhindered and without a sound.
Compared to his former self, the Lawrence of this day seemed even more reliable. Although his face showed that he was exhausted, he still read and examined the documents with all his attention. He seemed so focused that it seemed he could do this for years if no one disturbed him.
Through Jack, Dorcas, and the vast engine of the Empire that was the Dark Mantle, Han Shuo learned that Lawrence was indeed a good Emperor. Over the past few years, Lawrence had applied all of his wisdom to the internal affairs of the country, with spectacular results. Not a single citizen of the empire would dare deny Lawrence's contribution to the Lancelot Empire.
Even when the Lancelot Empire was facing fierce attacks from the Orcs' Kingdom and the Kasi Empire, the territories of his Empire were still well defended and fortified under his leadership.
For this reason, the people of Lancelot's Empire, though fearful, still had great confidence in the nation. The empire was remarkably cohesive. Not a single civil unrest had broken out during his reign.
These great achievements were all Lawrence's!
After watching silently from a hidden spot, Han Shuo noticed a few strands of white hair at the back of Lawrence's head. He sighed, knowing that Lawrence must have been both mentally and physically exhausted by these years of service to his empire.
After standing in silence for a long time, Han Shuo cleared his throat gently.
"Who?" Lawrence said in a deep voice without lifting his head.
"Long time no see," Han Shuo said as he walked out from behind with a fat smile on his face.
Lawrence's first reaction to this voice was to knit his eyebrows, as if he was confused to hear this voice that felt both familiar and unfamiliar. After pondering for a moment with his eyebrows knit together, his eyes widened and his jaw dropped halfway down his neck. Suddenly he raised his head, turned around and exclaimed with great joy, "Bryan? Is that you?"
"It's me! I'm back!" Han Shuo replied with a grin. He paused for a moment and put on a solemn face before continuing, "Back to help you take down this world in one fell swoop!"
