章 21: Change of plans

"Delicious!"

Ivye said out loud while eating a piece of cake, Alexander, Athena, Alexa and Aliya nodded with small smiles. They his are currently in one of the best restaurants in the city.

It's been a few hours since they left the Lua Negra inn and went shopping, Aliya and Alexa made a point of buying lots of new clothes for everyone, including Athena who, although she already had a lot, didn't refuse.

Everyone without exception is wearing their new clothes, Alexander felt a little uncomfortable wearing clothes that were a little tight, the Cultivators' clothes are quite loose to give them more mobility during a battle.

Aliya and Alexa are wearing dresses making them even more beautiful than they are, if it weren't for Alexander's aura, the men in the restaurant would have already come to approach the two.

"Husband ~ we can cut your hair if you want." Aliya said while looking at her long silver hair.

Alexa and Athena agreed with her, but Alexander quickly denied: No, anything but that..."

The three beautiful women nodded with defeated expressions, Iris pulled his hair and shouted loudly at them as if she was telling the three not to think about doing something like that again.

"Good! Even little Iris understands me better than you three~" He laughed and said as he hugged the baby elf who laughed happily.

The three women rolled their eyes and shook their heads, Ivye paid no attention to them and continued to eat her piece of cake with her eyes shining with happiness. Aliya looked at her and couldn't help but smile happily.

She looked tenderly at the man who saved her and her daughters from the terrible fate of being sold as mere slaves and sent him a message through their soul connection.

"Thank you for everything~"

Alexander was surprised but couldn't help but look at her with his eyes shining with tenderness and a little love: I thank you, Iris, Ivye, Alexa and Athena for allowing me to feel love again, I can't thank you enough for such gift..."

His words made tears come out of the mature elf's beautiful eyes, leaving Alexa and Athena surprised and a little worried, Aliya lifted the mask from him halfway up her face and kissed him.

Alexander returned the kiss calmly and stopped a few seconds later, Athena and Alexa were amazed to see the two doing something like that in a public place.

"Mommy! Can I have more cake?" Ivye asked suddenly interrupting the couple's moment.

Aliya smiled gently and denied: No, you've already eaten too much cake, if you eat more you'll get a stomach ache.."

"But…" Ivye tried to refute, but stopped as soon as she saw her mother's gentle expression change to a stern one.

Alexander smiled beneath his mask and helped her clean up, there was leftover cake around her little mouth, Ivye laughed happily and let her big brother do all the hard work.

Alexander didn't care and continued wiping his mouth her while talking to the three women and listening to the conversations of the people around him.

"It seems that they kidnapped the mountain lord's daughter, which caused his anger towards humans to explode."

"Yes, from the information I received from my subordinates in the capital, the mountain lord went there and demanded that his daughter be returned within five days or the entire Setting Sun Kingdom would suffer the consequences…"

"We are all screwed, the mountain lord and a magical beast very close to Rank 7."

"As long as we are in the city, we have a chance to survive, that guy in the mask seems to be stronger than a Peak Wizard King, but I don't feel mana in his body, which is very strange…"

"Shi! Idiot, if you want to die then die alone, don't ask about others' secrets like that, I bet he heard you..."

"I.... Forgive me, sir..." The man looked at Alexander and asked for forgiveness with a pale face.

Alexander just nodded and ignored him making him sigh in relief, powerful people can be offended by the slightest mistake of someone weaker.

Alexander placed a soundproof barrier around the table at which they were sitting and said to Athena: It seems that your Kingdom is about to be destroyed...."

"You... Can't we help? I'll give you whatever you want..." She bit her lower lip and said to him with her eyes shining with determination.

Alexander was tempted to accept, but he denied it and said: Don't worry, I want to visit the library in the royal capital, so I can't let this mountain lord destroy it..."

Athena sighed in relief and looked at him with a beautiful smile that was unfortunately hidden by her black cloak, Aliya kissed her husband's hand and smiled happily.

Alexa looked at him with a happy smile, she had absolute confidence in the strength of the man who will one day be her husband, for some reason Alexandre felt very good receiving the support and trust of the three beautiful women.

[Mission 2]

Description: Defeat the Ice Dragon and rescue your daughter.

Reward: ???

Deadline: 4 days

Attention: The host cannot kill the target of the mission, if this happens, a punishment will be applied.

————————

"It looks like this new mission is going to be a bit difficult.." Alexander thought.

If it was just to eliminate the mountain lord it would be very easy, but it was not just killing him, but defeating him without killing him, something really difficult to do.

This part wasn't even the hardest yet, the fact the real difficulty would be finding the people who managed to kidnap the mountain lord's daughter before they got too far from this Kingdom.

"If the mission is so difficult, the reward must be very good…" he thought with shining eyes and accepted the mission immediately.

Alexander looked at Aliya and the others and said calmly: Change of plans We will go to the capital in two days…"

"Um? Why? I thought we were going to stay here for a week." Alexa couldn't help but ask surprised.

Athena and Aliya were also very curious while Ivye's big eyes shined like two stars. He hesitated for a while, but in the end he decided to tell the truth.

"I've already planted my soul marks on both of them, so I don't need to worry.." Alexander thought and told them about the system, leaving the three beautiful women surprised.

He wasn't worried about any of them leaking information about him because he had already planted his soul marks in Alexa and Athena's souls, if they dared to betray him, their souls would explode.

After almost being annihilated by Xue Li, he decided to be more cautious around women, with the exception of Aliya who was already on his harem list as his first wife.

"I see... So this System was created by your grandfather to help you become stronger than him?" Athena nodded and asked.

Alexander nodded and explained: Yes, I can't tell you more than that...."

Aliya and Alexa nodded without intending to ask, but it was already too much for him to have told such a shocking secret, Athena bit her lower lip and decided to contain her curiosity.

"If we want to reach the capital as quickly as possible, we will need a flying beast." Alexander thought and then his eyes lit up.

He looked out far from the city more specifically in the heart of the Infinite Forest and a frightening smile appeared on his face.
