Kylie did not seem like she was planning to mingle at such an occasion at all. She had a cold and intimidating look on her face at all times. She would take a sip of her drink occasionally.
Bloody, who was next to her, looked petite and harmless. She seemed to be chatting about something with Kylie while holding a drink.
Lin Huang, who was walking over to the two ladies, soon attracted the attention of the crowd.
However, nobody assumed that they had known each other for a long time.
They thought that he was interested in this Virgen.
After all, Kylie indeed had the best appearance and charm among all those that were present.
Naturally, Shen Tu noticed him going over as well. He was secretly smirking inside, looking like he was excited to watch a show unfold.
‘This guy surnamed Lin will definitely be beaten up later.’
Lin Huang picked up a plate of snacks from the table next to the two ladies and handed it to them. “This stuff is quite good. You guys should try some.”
The two ladies were stunned, but soon picked up a piece each quickly and tried it.
“It’s quite delicious.” Bloody nodded continuously.
“Not bad.” Kylie took a small bite and began to savor it slowly.
“This is a rose apple puff, a local delicacy. The filling is made using a type of rose apple that’s the Pilgrim Star Zone’s specialty. There’s nowhere else that seems to cultivate this fruit. The pastry chef is a local as well. He’s been making this snack for over 30 years…”
Lin Huang introduced the snack, seemingly engaging the two in a casual conversation.
Shen Tu, who thought that he would be treated to a show, froze at the sight of the harmonious scene of Lin Huang chatting with the two ladies.
‘That hidden powerhouse didn’t attack him?!’
While chatting casually, Lin Huang was speaking to the two ladies secretly through voice transmission.
“Did everything go well with your return to the Nephilic Judge Tribe?”
“It went quite smoothly. They’re more than happy to have one more Lord to guard the Nephilic Judge Tribe,” Bloody said with a smile, “They didn’t enquire in detail regarding my breakthrough in combat strength.”
“What about you? I suppose the Nephilic Judge Tribe has stopped giving you problems?” Lin Huang looked at Kylie.
“Basically nobody has dared to say anything since I elevated to rank-6,” Kylie responded while smiling, “It’s just that I have a half-step Lord following me around no matter where I go.”
“It’s been the same even after Bloody returned?” Lin Huang asked.
“They’re worried that I’ll kidnap their Virgen, so they’re even more strict now,” Bloody said angrily.
Lin Huang smiled when he heard that. He understood the Nephilic Judge Tribe’s mindset.
“Did the Nephilic Judge Tribe agree to join Royal?” Lin Huang continued to ask.
“They only agreed after hesitating for many days.”
“They’re just a bunch of stubborn, old people. They want change, and yet they’re afraid of change,” Bloody commented harshly.
“It is, after all, an ancient tribe that has been passed down for a couple of eras. It’s very difficult to change the many traditions that the older generation has passed down,” Lin Huang expressed his understanding, “It’s amazing that they’re even willing to make changes for the tribe’s development.”
“When do you plan to head to the universe?” Kylie could not help but ask.
“When I’ve settled all the things here. I’ll definitely need two to three months.” Lin Huang thought about it before answering, “However, it won’t exceed a year’s time.”
“Therefore, you guys should prepare for the future for the Nephilic Judge Tribe. Don’t let the loss of a Virgen ruin the entire tribe. Come up with a solution for a smooth transition.”
Bloody was Lin Huang’s think tank, so it was impossible that he would leave her behind when he headed to the universe. When Bloody left, Kylie would be left alone with the Nephilic Judge Tribe. Lin Huang was worried about that as well.
Naturally, he wanted to bring both of them with him.
However, with Kylie’s current standing in the Nephilic Judge Tribe, as soon as she left, it would definitely cause shockwaves within the tribe.
Kylie definitely did not want to see that happening.
Therefore, Lin Huang hoped that they could work together to find a solution to the issue.
“I have one dependent who is pretty talented. She was elevated to rank-5.5 after I was elevated to rank-6. I can get her to stay and replace me.”
The dependents Kylie was talking about were the batch of Starlight Beasts she adopted from way back during her time in the gravel world.
“However, in order for her to control the group, she’ll have to elevate to Lord first.” Bloody looked at Lin Huang.
“Are you guys thinking of making her my imperial monster? To strengthen her combat strength?” Lin Huang instantly understood what they meant.
Clearly, the two ladies had discussed the plan.
“When we return to the Nephilic Judge Star Zone this time, we’ll introduce her as Kylie’s younger sister to the Nephilic Judge Tribe, and then we’ll bring her back to the tribe. She’s just a sixth-rank Heavenly God now. We’ll try our best to increase her combat strength over the next few months. Naturally, you’ll have to step in for the last stage,” Bloody continued to say, “As long as her combat strength is elevated to lord-level before we leave, she should be enough to replace Kylie.”
Lin Huang nodded immediately after a moment of thought. “This solution indeed sounds viable.”
He really could not do that if this had happened in the past. After all, the chances of him obtaining a complete Monster Card was quite low.
However, there were no restrictions on Xiao Hei’s authorization now. All he needed to do was to kill Kylie’s dependent and he could get Xiao Hei to extract her True Spirit to turn her into a Monster Card.
It would be a piece of cake to elevate the Monster Card to lord-level.
The method was totally feasible.
“This drink is sweet, but it actually contains no sugar. The main ingredient is the juice squeezed from licorice… The licorice, after a rainy day, will secrete a type of cyclamate. This cyclamate gives it a sweet taste when consumed, but it’s actually not sugar…”
On the surface, Lin Huang was talking about the green drink in his hand.
The crowd present noticed the harmonious scene unfolding on his side.
“So the Nephilic Judge Virgen is interested in talking about food and drinks.”
“They look so happy. It seems like Chief Lin knows well how a girl’s mind works.”
However, some people were upset at this scene.
Shen Tu was secretly cursing.
‘I was wondering why they were unwilling to become allies with my God Capital. It seems they already had their eye on the Sword Alliance’s chief from the start. That old thing Abbott sure is vicious. And they were smart enough to fake the Virgen’s cold demeanor. Even this fool surnamed Lin fell for it…”
Meanwhile, Abbott and the remaining Nephilic Judge Tribe elders, who were not far away, were quite upset.
They had been staring daggers at Lin Huang as he stood beside Kylie.
The longer the three of them chatted, the grimmer their expressions seemed.
They had just joined Royal. With the backing of Royal, they had a more sophisticated outlook now. They currently no longer took a grade-7 organization from the great world like Sword Alliance seriously.
They were worried that Lin Huang might kidnap their Virgen.
Fortunately, Lin Huang did not continue chatting for too long. He walked away after flicking a Combat Strength Upgrade Card into Kylie’s body.
Very soon, Kylie left early with Bloody with the excuse that she was feeling unwell.
