Lidiya had finished washing up with the help of the maid. She was about to go for breakfast when she saw the housekeeper, Barbara, rushing in, a look of pleasant surprise on her face. Barbara had been Leticia's childhood maid, married with her to the Winston family, and was now her housekeeper. Her husband was an old man of the Winston family and was now the leader of the guards in the compound.

Looking at Barbara's happy face, Lidia said, "Barbara, what's the matter?"

"Madam, the Eldest Young Master has some news!"

"Really?! "Where is he?" she asked quickly.

"Second Young Master sent the news through special channels. Last night, Eldest Young Master appeared in his defense."

"Why is he there? Did John say when he would be back? "

"The second young master said that the eldest young master is in a hurry to go to the territory of the elves and crossed the border overnight to go to the prairie."

"Nonsense, don't you know that our family has used all of their resources to find him?"

When Barbara didn't say anything, Leticia changed the subject. "Did John say where Bonan was before?"

Barbara shook her head.

Seeing the disappointment on Lidia's face, Barbara advised, "Madam, you don't have to worry. I'm sure that Eldest Young Master has some urgent matters to attend to. He'll be back soon."

"How much pressure did I put on this beast to find him, and how much I almost fell out with the queen for him? But he's all right now, and he won't send me any news, and I don't know when I'll hear from him if John doesn't happen to see it." Leticia was furious, and if Monsoon were standing in front of her now, she might give him a slap.

"Madam, please don't be angry. The eldest young master is a filial child. He must really be busy. Otherwise, even if he doesn't come back, he will send a message." Barbara went on soothingly.

"I'd like to see what excuses he has." When Leticia spoke, her breasts rose and fell in anger.

Ronald Winston, the Northern Legion's headquarters, had heard the news as early as last night. However, he just stared blankly for a moment and then stopped. It was Ronald's confidant who reported this to him, and before he had gone very far he became aware that the magic lamp in the count's room had gone out again. He only turned around once before silently leaving.

The first thing Isabel knew was that Leticia had ordered to stop looking for him, and she knew at once that Leticia must have received some definite information. In order to determine whether he was dead or alive, Isabelle had to bow down to the House of the Winston.

Of course Leticia knew Isabel's purpose, so she said simply, "There's news from Polnan. He'll be back in a few minutes."

"Where is he?" Isabelle asked immediately.

"Well, it's inconvenient to tell me. The queen only needs to know that he's all right."

Isabelle, of course, knew why Leticia had not told her, and it was clear that in her heart of hearts she still believed that the previous attack had something to do with Selina. She knew that Harby D'Abinit was in the province of Bernan, and she was sure that Isabelle knew that too. It would have been a mistake on anyone's part, but the d'Abinitts were no small family, and, with his feet on her, there was no reason why he should not go anywhere. In the end, Isabel didn't get an answer. She chatted for a while, then left.

It was not that he did not want to leave, but that Archimedes and Josephine had insisted on staying. Although their reasons were different, their attitudes were very sincere. Ji Feng, who couldn't say that he was cursed, could only reluctantly stay. Of course, there was a price to pay for keeping Ji Feng here. The monsoon did not ask Josephine for it, but extorted one million purple coins from Archimedes. Of course, he still owed them first. For this reason, Archimedes directly complained that monsoon is a cold-blooded vampire. Extortion while he was in trouble.

Tomorrow was the one hundred and fifty year old birthday celebration for the grand elder of the foxes clan, Austen. Even though it was only the actual day, the mansion was already bustling with activity. Austen was a rank 3 Great Magister of the Fire element, and he was also very powerful. Because of the fox race's status as a member of the Beastman race, many people would come to congratulate him. This was something that Monsoon and Archimedes could sense from every busy servant in the house.

Although Josephine had invited them, they both knew that Josephine had little say in the house, and so they did not run around, but stayed in Josephine's little yard. Archimedes had to prepare for tomorrow's battle. The monsoon had given him advice, but it couldn't take his place. Monsoon was in his room, studying the Dark Roar. The Dark Roar's attacks didn't have any warning signs. It was very difficult to avoid being hit when it was launched. Combined with the instant fireball technique, it was a perfect sneak attack.

With the < Nameless Art > in his hands, Ji Feng's strength would steadily increase. It was only a matter of time before he would become strong. However, what Ji Feng needed was time. He wanted to leave this world as soon as possible. Otherwise, even if he was able to return to Earth, he would not be able to make a name for himself. However, he also knew that it would be extremely difficult for him to reach a level of strength that could break through the space barrier in a short period of time. Fortunately, the women on Earth were all vampires. Moreover, they were quite powerful. It shouldn't be a problem for them to live for a few hundred years.

He didn't know what kind of power was needed to pass through the protective barrier of the universe. He already knew that the reason the silk emperor could break through the protective barrier was because she had a divine artifact. In addition, her divine artifact had already been destroyed in the two round trips back and forth. There were no fragments left behind. If he wanted to return to Earth, he would have to rely on himself. Even though his methods were enough to defeat a cultivator many levels higher than him, he was unable to change the fact that he was a low-level cultivator.

After a whole day of practice, Ji Feng felt that he had mastered the art of the Dark Roar. The next step was to practice and improve himself in actual combat. Archimedes did not come to disturb him in the evening. He was preparing for the duel tomorrow. Even though the monsoon knew that even if Archimedes could defeat Melkon, he would never be able to return with a beauty in his arms. However, Monsoon would not tell Archimedes about this. There was always hope.

That night, some of the foxes' closest friends had arrived in advance. From the direction of the reception room, loud voices could be heard every now and then. Josephine had only asked Josie to bring them food and never showed up.

It wasn't until around ten the next morning that Josie came out and took them to the banquet hall. Although it was called a banquet hall, it was actually just a martial arts practice field. Almost all of the objects in the training field had been cleaned up and were replaced by neatly placed tables and chairs. When the two walked into the banquet area, there were already many tables filled to the brim. Beautiful fox girls were shuttling through them, serving food and water to the guests. At the same time, he was also able to fulfill some of the customer's requests.

Monsoon and Archimedes had been placed on a table in the northeast corner of the room, but for the time being there was no one else there. When the two of them sat down, the fox girl immediately came to serve them tea.

They sat down and watched the people enter. Among the guests, there were all kinds of races, and they saw quite a few humans. Although they were all human beings, the other side did not pay much attention to them. Many of them knew each other, and from time to time, someone would loudly greet them. From their words, the elites that the two of them picked were all from different groups. This scene caused Monsoon and Archimedes, who were originally worried that only the Beastmen were here, to heave a sigh of relief. If that really was the case, then the two of them would be considered as being of a different species from the Primordial Era. It seemed that the foxes had a wide range of connections. The two of them were not seated close to the front, but they could see the experts from various clans arriving one after another, all bearing gifts. Very quickly, under the exclamations of the people around them, the two of them met Archimedes' rival, Melkan.

The tall and mighty Melkon was obviously an astonishingly powerful individual. Monsoon came up to Archimedes and teased him in a low voice, "It seems that your rival in love is very strong?"

Archimedes apparently realized this as well. With a bitter face, he said, "I feel the pressure!"

"Heh heh heh ?"

At that moment Josephine appeared. She walked up to Archimedes, grabbed his right hand in front of everyone, and held it high.

Archimedes immediately felt the burning gaze of the crowd. He knew that he had been duped, and when he made the request, Josephine readily agreed. It was for this moment. In order to get him to cooperate, she was even willing to give him an advantage on horseback.

When Archimedes saw the faint smile on Ji Feng's face, he immediately knew that Ji Feng had already seen through him. He wanted to be angry, but his right hand was gripped by Josephine, and everyone was looking at him curiously. At this point, even if he knew that there was a trap in front of him, he still had to grit his teeth and walk forward.

Therefore, he said, "Wife, I will definitely defeat that Malkin. No one can snatch you away from me, unless they are stepping on my corpse!"

As Archimedes spoke, he felt a chill, and as it did he saw Malcolm's cold eyes. At the same time, he also saw a tiger-like middle-aged man whispering something in his ear.

At that moment, Josephine made a gesture that stunned everyone. She leaned over and kissed Archimedes on the forehead, then let go of Archimedes' hand. She smiled sweetly and left.

After being ignored, Melkan could bear the excitement and strode towards the table where Monsoon and Archimedes were. The middle-aged tiger man followed.

Everyone was interested, and the whole Orc race knew that Melkon was after Josephine. They even shouted openly that he would destroy anyone who dared to appear at Josephine's side.

Milken was very strong. He was only twenty-four years old, and was already an Advanced Ninth Order warrior. It would only be a matter of time before he advanced to Martial Saint. It was said that the Tigers raised him up to be the next Beastman Emperor. There were a few blind young men who tried to woo Josephine, but he beat them up badly. Since then, no young man had accompanied Josephine.

In theory, Melkon was a good match, and her family advised her to think about it. But Josephine was at the age of rebellion, and everyone said that Melkan was good, and she wouldn't give him a chance. After all, Malkon had no time to waste on her as his primary mission was to improve his abilities, so he tricked her out in order to catch her and cook her some raw rice, only to be interrupted by Monsoon and Archimedes. When Melkan sensed that something was wrong and rushed over, he saw the corpses of his seven subordinates and immediately flew into a rage.

Melkon had made up his mind today to get Josephine, and for that he had brought with him a great gift to propose marriage to Austen in public. To that end, he invited the former chief of the Tigers, his grandfather Gustav, to help him make peace. It was likely that Austen would give him face.

How could he take it in? It had been a long time since he had seen a young man who dared to stand by Josephine's side. This time, it was a human.
