"……I see."

Hearing this, Xiao Na nodded thoughtfully, with a hint of resistance in her eyes.

Although Farn had learned from Shawna that magic existed within every life form in Runeterra, this knowledge was still new, and the past still shaped Shawna's perceptions. She still instinctively felt repulsion and disgust towards magical life.

With a sigh, Xiaona's heart gradually calmed down, and then she said: "I... I'm a little tired."

"Aren't you going to say hello to my wives?"

Faan seemed a little surprised: "They are all your mistresses, and the spiritual masters among them can even provide guidance on demon hunting... I mean, guidance."

As a spiritual mage, Allura's understanding of the spiritual realm far surpasses that of ordinary people. Even in the Freljord, a land remarkably stable in the physical realm, she was able to recognize the existence of the spiritual realm and delve into it, analyzing it. Such learning and spiritual perception earned the Ionian people respectful greetings of "Master."

Demons were originally born in the spiritual realm. As long as they found a way to get started, it wouldn't take long for Alola to give them targeted guidance.

While this might seem like living off his wife, Faan didn't see it that way—every profession has its specializations. As a hunter, he only needed to focus on hunting. Research was handled by a dedicated team of scribes, while forging was handled by a dedicated group of craftsmen. He was proficient in everything, yet mastered none. Faan preferred to spend his time outside of hunting deepening the bonds of love with his wives.

When Xiaona heard Fane say it was related to the demon hunt, her eyes lit up, and she quickly nodded and said, "Then I'm ready."

Thinking of this, Xiao Na also felt an inexplicable pressure in her heart. It felt like the legendary meeting with the parents. But thinking about it carefully, it wasn't meeting the parents, just meeting her master's wife.

However, there are quite a lot of mistresses, so I have to find a way to prepare myself mentally.

On the other side, as the pages of the book opened, a portal soon came into view of the two.

"Let's go."

Having said that, Faan stepped directly in. Xiaona looked around nervously as she watched Faan disappear into the energy vortex, but then quickly followed.

The portal does not directly lead to the destination once entered. Instead, it shortens the distance in the material realm through the special characteristics of the spiritual realm.

Normally, even with strong men, fast horses, and well-equipped personnel, it would take seven or eight days to reach Rakstak from Demacia, even if the weather was clear and the entire journey was downhill. And that required good luck. If you were unlucky and the mountains were blocked by heavy snow, you could only pray to God for a quick melt.

In comparison, if you use a portal, no matter how far the distance is, it will only take a few minutes at most.

It was her first time entering the portal and also her first time coming into such deep contact with magic. Xiaona looked around curiously, then quickly followed Fane and walked towards the other end of the portal.

A moment later, a portal resembling a wave of water appeared before them. After passing through it, Xiaona felt a chill.

Although the portal was built in Ashe's corner house and was warm with a firewood fire, this warmth was only limited to the Freljord people. After only a year of combat training, although Xiaona's physical fitness had improved significantly compared to before, she was now wearing only a single layer of training clothes.

From 20 degrees Celsius to below zero, even though the room was slightly warm, Xiaona felt a chill.

"Faun? Why are you back? Is the matter resolved?"

A cool, elegant female voice echoed in her ears, and Xiaona instinctively looked up. What she saw was an exceptionally delicate girl. She wore a blue cloak, a crown on her head, skin as white as cream, and a faint glow from her white hair. Her soft, elegant features gave off a sense of holiness that was both sacred and difficult to offend.

When Xiaona was looking at Ash, Ash also noticed Xiaona who was wearing only a single piece of clothing.

Chapter 16 Gentle Master's Wife.

Seeing Xiaona wearing only a single layer of clothes, Ash subconsciously frowned, then walked to Xiaona and grabbed her wrist.

Suddenly seeing Ashley like this, Xiaona felt a little guilty and wanted to pull her hand back. But to Xiaona's surprise, Ashley's delicate palm, which seemed weak, was as strong as steel. Even if Xiaona pulled hard, Ashley's palm did not tremble at all.

After a brief feeling, Ashe sighed, then quickly picked up the cloak hanging on the side and put it on Xiaona. Facing Xiaona's somewhat flattered gaze, Ashe looked at Fann on the side with dissatisfaction.

"How could you let a warmblood girl come to the Freljord in nothing? Don't you know how cold the Freljord is?"

"Ah, I forgot."

Faan scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "The main thing is that this is my first time bringing people back. Didn't I forget that people from other regions are different from the Freljord people? And Xiaona has been trained before, so I was careless."

"Even after exercising."

Looking at the embarrassed Faan, Ashe sighed, then took out some fabric and handed it to Xiaona while saying:

"The coldness of the Freljord comes from the icy magic in the air. Without sufficient resistance, even the strongest will face the risk of hypothermia... By the way, what is your relationship with this girl?"

After making sure that Xiaona was dressed, Ashe came over to Faan and helped him straighten his clothes which were a little messy due to the previous battle.

Faan chuckled and said, "She is my first hunter apprentice. Although she is still very young, she has considerable talent and is a promising hunter prospect."

"Hunter's Apprentice? Are you sure you're not after her?"

Hearing this, Ashe sighed and said, "You've only been away for a short time and you've already brought a woman home. I'm fine with that, but if Sejuani finds out, you'll see she'll tear the roof off the corner house."

"That's true, we have to find a way to solve it."

Fain nodded seriously.

On the side, looking at the intimate master and his mistress, Xiao Na's face also showed some surprise and uncertainty.

Shawna didn't dislike Ashley. For one thing, Ashley's appearance was clear: delicate, beautiful, and gentle. This beauty and gentleness weren't offensive, rather than being "flashy" enough to make others, or even people of the same sex, uncomfortable. At least in Shawna's mind, Ashley felt like a beautiful, caring, and gentle older sister.

On the other hand, Ashe's concern didn't seem fake.

But what surprised Xiaona was why Ash seemed to accept so easily that her master had found another girl to bring home...

Sensing Xiaona's inner doubts, Ash smiled gently at her and asked calmly:

"Nice to meet you. My name is Ashe, daughter of Glennar, Supreme Warmother of the United Hordes, and the reincarnation of Avarosa, one of the Three Ice Sisters."

"Ah, hello."

Upon hearing this, Xiaona finally responded belatedly, and then said: "My name is Xiaona Vayne, and I'm from Demacia."

"Hello, Shawna, by the way, where are your parents?"

Ai Xiwang asked Xiaona kindly, "Although it's a little embarrassing to say, my husband has extremely strong needs in certain areas, and he almost never hides his interest in the girls. Although it's frustrating, I can't easily allow you to become her student without your parents' consent."

Hearing this, Xiaona's eyes dimmed slightly, as if she wanted to say something. But before she could say anything, Ashley noticed the change in Xiaona's expression and said:

"Of course! Fane's hunting skills are indeed very powerful. If you really want to learn and your parents agree, I will help you warn him!

And one thing you can rest assured about is that my husband is very proactive and open in some areas, but he wouldn't force other girls on this kind of thing. This is one of the few advantages of him that I can show off."

After a pause, Ashe sighed: "If this can be considered an advantage..."

"There are no absolute advantages or disadvantages in ecology. As long as it's suitable, it's a good thing," Fine protested. "In this case, I think this is my advantage!"

"Okay, good points, go play."

Ashe despised.

"Oh."

Faun shrugged.

"Anyway, that's about it."

Ash spread his hands helplessly towards Xiaona.

Looking at Ash who was so attentive in explaining things to her, Xiaona smiled awkwardly and then explained, "What I want to talk about is not the teacher's power... I have witnessed the teacher's strength this morning. I just wanted to say that my parents are dead, so I can make my own decisions."

"Eh?! Is that so?! Sorry to touch upon your sore spot."

A look of apology appeared on Ash's face.

Xiao Na, standing by, appeared quite relaxed. She shook her head calmly and said, "It's okay, I'm used to it. My decision to study with the teacher was my own... I want to avenge my parents, and up to this point, Teacher Faen is the most powerful and knowledgeable person I've ever met."

"That's it..."

After a moment of silence, Ashe looked at Faan and said, "Besides Xiaona's talent, what other goals do you have?"

"Zhuo Ai."

Xiaona clearly saw the beautiful master's wife named Ashley hesitate for a moment.

Seeing this, Xiao Na on the side also said: "I already know about this matter, and the teacher said he won't force me."

Hearing this, Ashe's expression improved slightly, and then he couldn't help but sigh and said: "So what are you going to do?"

"Just follow the steps."

Nengfann said frankly and cleverly:

"I'll take my time and wait for Xiaona to let down her guard and then be willing to do something immoral with me."

If Xiaona heard Fane say this to her in private, she might feel a little ashamed or even disgusted, but for the sake of revenge, Xiaona was fully prepared. She was even mentally prepared to put her body and chastity on the other side of the scale to trade for the technology and knowledge that Fane possessed before she came here.

But the problem is that this sentence was said in front of the master's wife, and in front of such a good and caring master's wife, so Xiaona just felt a little ashamed.

But knowing Faan, Ashe didn't stop there, but asked: "And then?"

17

Chapter 17: The Butter Hero is like this.

and then?

Xiaona was stunned, a look of disbelief on her face - there's more? Isn't this enough now?

In response, Fine said matter-of-factly, "Then we will slowly educate her and help her integrate into our big family."

"Later."

"Let's live happily together."

"Keep going."

"Hunting together, hunting demons together."

"Fast forward to the end."

Ashe's expression can be described as numb and heartless.

Knowing Faan very well, Ashe knew very well that Faan's way of thinking was definitely not that of a hero or an adventurer.

While they do do some good things, they rarely suppress their desires, emphasizing a natural tendency to go with the flow. In other words, they're not inherently bad, and they have their own bottom line. While this bottom line is meant to unlock more positions, it's worth saying that even without suppressing their desires, a casual player is always better than a pure villain.

Facing Ashe's gaze and the words "Fast forward to the end", Fain was silent for a moment, then let out a long, heavy breath.

"Silver party."

Ash helplessly covered her face. Shawna, standing beside her, opened her mouth in surprise. Fain, who was slightly embarrassed, became frank. He stood there with his neck stiffened, his face filled with determination, like a monument of steel.

"Look, this is your teacher."

With a sigh, Ash looked helplessly at Xiaona beside him. Facing Xiaona's shocked eyes, Ash returned to his seat and said:

"He's honest and forthright about his desires. Perhaps we should be thankful that Faan's hobbies are so pure. After all, the same honesty, when faced with different desires, can often turn into terrifying malice..."

As she pondered these thoughts, Ashe lamented that the student Faan had chosen might be about to drop out. After all, although Shauna was dressed simply, Ashe was certain that she came from a distinguished background. That seemingly plain garment was actually breathable silk, a precious material not only in the Freljord but, according to information provided by the border tribes, even elsewhere in Valoran.

The expensive fabric was merely a loose, disposable garment for training. This meant that while Xiaona might not have come from a distinguished family, she had certainly received a good education and was doted on by her parents and family. Under these circumstances, Fann's approach to love was a rebellious one, and the mere thought of it revealed a futile future.

Look, facing Ashley's gaze, Xiaona's face was already confused, as if a brainstorm was going on in her head.

Then, Xiaona raised her head hesitantly.

"Then I..."

Pursing her lips, Xiaona said cautiously: "Then I am willing to join that... that silver party now. Can you help me kill the demon directly?"

"?"

Ashe blinked - No, girl, where is your higher education?

"If you want to say that..."

Hearing this, Faan touched his chin and fell into a brainstorm. But after a long time of thinking, Faan finally shook his head with a solemn look, his eyes still reluctant.

"I'm afraid not."

"Why? You just want my body, don't you?"

Xiaona was puzzled. "If you want it, take it. As long as you can avenge me and kill that demon, I can continue to be your student and learn from you. And you can do whatever you want to me."

"?"

Ashe was puzzled.

Is this some kind of buttery world? Why is this girl's thinking so extreme? And once she's extreme, she's so obedient?

"Mainly because I'm afraid you'll regret it."

Faan spoke matter-of-factly, speaking in a serious, almost academic manner: "Ask yourself: do you want to avenge your parents? Do you want to avenge yourself?"

"think."

Xiaona nodded without hesitation.
