However, the laughter didn't last long before Su Lan interrupted it.
"Someone's coming."
As Su Lan finished speaking, all the women turned their gazes toward the direction Su Lan was looking.
There, the sound of light footsteps could be heard.
The Flame Witch frowned, instinctively wanting to do something.
However, upon seeing Su Lan present, she suppressed her thoughts.
Little Flame Princess flew up from Lingling's hands and sat on Su Lan's shoulder, gently hugging Su Lan's arm and pressing her cheek against Su Lan's.
Clear footsteps echoed from the distant Fire Cloud Tree, and several figures emerged somewhat disheveled from the woods.
He was walking along, muttering curses all the while.
Those who heard the voice felt a sense of familiarity.
As expected, when the three figures were clearly seen, the women looked at the leader and paused for a moment.
The unexpected visitor was stunned to see Su Lan and a group of beautiful women.
The visitor was none other than himself.
They are Mo Fan, Zhao Manyan, and Chen Ying from the original novel's Zhuoyuan North Corner Squad.
All three had burn marks on their clothes, were drenched in sweat, and had abrasions all over their bodies.
It's clear that the journey hasn't been easy.
"Huh? Su Lan, what are you doing here?"
Mo Fan and Su Lan were fairly familiar with each other, even though Su Lan had reached a point where even he, the male protagonist of the original novel, had to look up to her.
But as the protagonist, it's inevitable that he'll be arrogant.
Mo Fan was confident that he could keep up with Su Lan's pace.
The concept of inferiority complex doesn't exist.
Zhao Manyan, who was standing next to Mo Fan, had also met Su Lan a few times, so when he saw Su Lan here, he was no less surprised than Mo Fan.
Especially when he glanced at the eight beautiful women around Su Lan, including the goddesses of the Qing Campus, Mu Nujiao, Ai Tutu, and Bai Tingting, he silently gave Su Lan a thumbs up in his heart.
Not only at the Qing Campus, but also at the main campus, goddess-level figures Ye Xinxia and Ding Yumin were behind him, and he admired Su Lan even more.
Don't let Zhao Manyan's reputation as a womanizer fool you; he occasionally juggles multiple relationships.
But if you're not careful, the boat will capsize.
At that point, it will either be a dignified breakup or a complete mess.
Now they've actually teamed up to explore the North Cape of Zhuoyuan?
Zhao Manyan was shouting in his heart, wanting Su Lan to start teaching classes immediately!
As for Chen Ying, she only glanced at these people with a flickering look before focusing her gaze on the creature on the shoulder of the leading man.
"How did you get here?"
Su Lan stepped forward to speak with him.
The women simply greeted them and showed no intention of continuing the conversation.
Mo Fan briefly explained how he got here.
He also discovered a secret scroll from the Hunter Alliance containing information that there might be a fire-type soul seed in the northern corner of the Scorching Plains.
As a mage who has only recently advanced to the intermediate level and has four magic systems to support, Mo Fan has to think about his fire magic.
Sure enough, as soon as he heard that the northern corner of Zhuoyuan was full of gold, he rushed over without stopping.
After going through countless hardships, he finally arrived here.
To be fair, Mo Fan was quite lucky.
Although the Soul Seed was not found, a lot of related materials were obtained, and a Spirit Seed and a Spirit Seed Fragment were also acquired, so it wasn't a complete loss.
In response, Su Lan recalled the soul seed and more than a dozen spirit seeds that Serafina had obtained, and could only say that Mo Fan had only gotten some scraps.
At this moment, Mo Fan, who had glanced at the little guy on Su Lan's shoulder several times, could no longer suppress his doubts and voiced his question.
"Su Lan, who's that little guy on your shoulder?"
Having thoroughly researched the relevant information about Zhuoyuan North Corner, Mo Fan already had some guesses in his mind.
"This is Little Flame Princess."
Upon hearing that it was the most precious treasure in the North Corner of Zhuoyuan, Mo Fan, Zhao Manyan, and Chen Ying all gasped in shock.
"This...this...this really is Flame Princess?!"
They had all heard of Yan Ji's great name; she was a divine spirit born and nurtured only in the northern corner of Zhuoyuan.
Once Yan Ji reaches maturity, she will be a being with a natural fire element, and it won't be difficult for her to advance to the monarch level in the future.
At this moment, the three of them felt an almost tangible envy for Su Lan.
After a brief chat, the little Flame Princess clung tightly to Su Lan, showing great affection for her.
In other words, Xiao Yan Ji will definitely become a powerful ally for Su Lan in the future.
Suppressing his envy, Mo Fan tentatively asked:
"Su Lan, is there a second Little Flame Princess?"
But Su Lan's next words disappointed him.
"No more. Little Flame Princess is the last Flame Princess left in the world."
Upon hearing this, the three of them were greatly disappointed.
Just as Mo Fan and his two companions were preparing to search for something, and the Flame Witch was also looking excited, another person crossed the Fire Cloud Forest and arrived here.
Two groups of people arrived at the same time this time.
One team consisted of mage guards dressed in special combat suits, while the other team was clearly composed of civilian mage hunters.
Upon seeing Su Lan and eight stunningly beautiful women, the two groups of people momentarily doubted whether they had come to the wrong place.
However, both teams were very professional and did not relax their guard just because Su Lan and her group were handsome men and beautiful women. On the contrary, they became more vigilant.
Su Lan then turned her gaze to the two groups of people.
The leader of Master Wei's group was a tall, slender woman with shoulder-length blonde hair.
Her expression was stern, and even her slightly loose combat suit couldn't hide her slender figure.
Her face, in particular, is both cold and handsome, exuding a heroic and dignified aura, making her a beauty that captivates both men and women.
On the other side were a middle-aged man and a woman wrapped in white cloth, with hired mages behind them.
Upon seeing these people, Su Lan knew their origins and the melodramatic storyline involving the White Cloth Man's side, Chen Ying, and the Flame Witch.
When Chenying saw the middle-aged man and the person in white cloth appear, she ran over in surprise to acknowledge them.
The middle-aged man's name was Zhao Yulin. He was a member of Zhao Manyan's Zhao family and also Chenying's father.
Their purpose in coming here was, they said, to heal the wounds on the White Cloth Man, whom they had believed to be their wife and mother all these years.
However, Su Lan only felt disgusted watching the interaction between the three of them.
He was heartless and ungrateful, abandoning his wife and daughters.
He is a beast in human form, repaying kindness with enmity.
Someone who mistakes a thief for a relative is insane.
He turned to look at the Flame Witch, who was Chen Ying's real mother and Zhao Yulin's real wife, and gestured for her not to acknowledge them for the time being.
The Flame Witch, also known as Jiang Feng, was somewhat puzzled as to why Su Lan would stop her, but since Su Lan was now the protector of Little Flame Princess, she naturally sided with Su Lan.
Therefore, she would not disobey Su Lan's orders.
Just as Su Lan was about to expose the disgusting relationship between the family of three, the female mage in charge spoke first.
"Excuse me, are you Mr. Su Lan?"
Nan Jue stared intently at Su Lan. The moment she saw Su Lan, she matched the image of Su Lan in the photo with the man in front of her.
She never expected that the prominent figure who had been the talk of the town among the high-ranking officials of the Northwest Guard District during this period would actually appear in the North Corner of Zhuoyuan.
