Meanwhile, on the other side.
Outside Heglais Town.
Ophelia's face turned dark as she confirmed that the ring signal was indeed blocked.
Jason and Caroline couldn't help but shiver, for the princess's eyes had suddenly turned red, and they were as cold as ice.
It was a face that looked like she wanted to kill someone...
"Your Highness, that..." The usually quiet shadow guard quickly bowed his head, "Things are still unclear right now. I'll go scout the surroundings..."
"Ah, right!" Caroline was a step slower in reacting, "Then I'll go too!"
They had been following Ophelia for so many years that they were well aware of her temper. At this moment, they knew better than to provoke her; otherwise, it could end badly.
So, the two turned together.
Time to make a quick escape...
"Wait."
The cold voice made both of them instinctively tense up.
"Jason, come here."
Caroline breathed a sigh of relief, while the leader of the shadow guards approached with his head bowed, not daring to look at the princess's expression.
"I have some matters to deal with and might need to go to Brugge. You stay with them. If Luo Wei returns, you must inform me immediately!"
"Yes."
Having given these instructions, Ophelia's gaze moved toward the road outside the town.
Not long after, this remote town became bustling.
Countless vehicles stopped there, blocking the narrow road completely, followed by a noisy commotion as the Church of Divine Command quickly secured the area.
In addition, both the Brugge police and some high-ranking individuals had arrived.
As the Fifth Princess, Ophelia obviously needed to handle these interactions. Caroline quickly tidied up the grimy appearance of the princess.
Thinking about having to clean up this mess, Ophelia's mood worsened further.
"That guy, making such a mess here! And then leaving without even saying a word!"
"And he dared to elope with that witch right in front of me!"
"The next time I catch him, I must punish him severely!!"
The more she thought about him hiding somewhere she couldn't find, cozying up with that damn witch, the angrier she became.
"Luo Wei!!"
"Luo Wei? What about Luo Wei?" Inspector Raymond curiously approached.
"Huh?" Helena blinked, "Why is the inspector here?"
She seemed to remember something and quickly looked at Evelyn beside her.
Evelyn was also curious, "Not me, I initially wanted to go find the inspector, but before I got far out of town, I got caught by that creepy Grand Elder."
"Don't even mention it!" Inspector Raymond was also getting increasingly irritated.
"I was on a vacation with my wife at the southern beach, and then someone from above showed up with a summons and dragged me here!"
"Who in their right mind would do such a thing? I just wanted a peaceful vacation; who did I offend?!"
After venting, Ophelia turned to him emotionlessly.
"It was me."
Inspector Raymond was stunned for a moment.
Then, as if changing masks, his entire face was filled with a flattering smile.
"So it was the Princess who summoned me! I should have known! Who else could be so patriotic, so devoted to the people? It must be our Princess!" He exclaimed, "Please, Your Highness, feel free to command me!"
Evelyn, hearing the inspector's smooth flattery, couldn't help but chuckle.
"How disgusting..."
Helena also gave the inspector a disdainful look.
(Adults' world is so dirty!)
"Cut the nonsense!" Ophelia gave the inspector a sharp look.
"I called you here because you're someone both Luo Wei and I trust, and you have experience handling such matters. The summons already appointed you as the Saint Callen envoy. Now, you are in full charge of the Heglais Town black sorcerer case."
Her gaze carried a deeper meaning, "You know what to do and what to say; I don't need to explain it to you, do I?"
Inspector Raymond, suppressing his smile, nodded, "Understood, Your Highness."
Along with the summons came a confidential letter, revealing a shocking secret related to the royal family in just a few lines. This was the reason why he had to abandon his rare vacation and rush here.
This was turning into a huge affair! The royal ancestor was actually such a being, and they had even resurrected! How could such a secret fall into the hands of a lowly East District inspector?
While excited, Inspector Raymond also felt a tinge of anxiety, realizing he was getting closer to the massive whirlpool of the capital...
After leaving Princess Ophelia, Inspector Raymond returned to the knights' troop and the Brugge police.
After showing his "Saint Callen envoy" credentials, the expressions of the local church and police chiefs changed instantly.
"So it's Inspector Raymond from the capital! Sorry for the neglect!" the Brugge police chief said with a smile.
"You don't want the church to leak information?" the knights' captain wondered, "What’s on that island? If I don’t figure it out, how am I supposed to report to the bishop?"
"That's none of your concern. Just maintain order in the town," Inspector Raymond replied sternly, "I am here representing the Emperor. If you don't want the Emperor to hold you accountable, you'd better follow my instructions!"
"Yes, yes..." Upon hearing the Emperor's name, the knights' captain dared not argue further.
After issuing a series of commands to the local authorities, Inspector Raymond suddenly felt like he had reached the pinnacle of his career...
Even the resentment of leaving his wife behind for Luo Wei was fading...
...
Three days later, in Brugge City.
Evelyn, benefiting from the Fifth Princess and staying in a luxury hotel, was packing her luggage.
Not because she was preparing to leave, but because she had "real work" to do.
This time, she was supposed to visit her friend’s school, Southern Tech, for an academic exchange. But after accompanying Luo Wei, her original plans were almost forgotten...
Evelyn picked up two beautiful dresses she had bought locally and was comparing them, undecided.
"Which one looks better..."
"With the teacher's figure, of course, either one will look amazing~"
Luo Wei's grinning face suddenly appeared in the room.
"You scared me!"
Evelyn reflexively patted her chest, which drew Luo Wei's eyes straight to her.
She rolled her eyes in disdain, "Creeping around like a ghost, why didn't you even knock? Also, where have you been these past few days?"
"It's a long story..." Luo Wei laughed.
Seeing Evelyn's slightly angry expression, he widened his eyes and acted surprised, "Oh? The teacher is packing her luggage. Where are you going?"
"Don’t change the subject!" Evelyn huffed, "The past three days eloping with the witch must have been fun, huh? I can see from your smile that you’ve enjoyed it thoroughly!"
"No way!" Luo Wei protested with an innocent face, "Besides, no matter where I go, I can never forget my most favorite Evelyn!"
Evelyn, unimpressed, crossed her arms, "Oh, really?"
Luo Wei, as if doing a magic trick, pulled out a branded handbag from a small pocket.
"Look, teacher! It's the latest limited edition from the Saint Callen luxury store. If I hadn’t bought it on the way, you would have missed out!"
Evelyn couldn't help but glance at the handbag and then quickly averted her gaze.
"Do you think this will impress me? Your teacher isn't that shallow!"
Luo Wei smiled mysteriously, then pulled out three more.
Evelyn's eyes immediately widened.
She stared for a long time before awkwardly coughing and blushing.
"Um... well, this is... not bad, I suppose. You still remember what your teacher likes..."
"But..."
Evelyn struggled to tear her gaze away from her favorite handbags.
With effort, she looked back at Luo Wei with a disgruntled expression.
"It's not about the bags! Your teacher is really mad at you!"
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
