The ruins of the God War, the Silent Courtyard, in Ke Luoqian’s second workshop.

Vermeer wore an apron, tied her hair, and was busy in the kitchen with a spoon.

She didn't notice the flour on her face and was very satisfied with the finished product stewed in the pot.

"Hehe..."

"Okay, don't be silly," Ayi stood in front of the stove next to her, also wearing an apron, skillfully thickening the soup in the pot, "Let's move quickly, we will have to give up the kitchen to Shaye and

Eluse."

"Okay, okay, then it's Lu Yi and Athetana," Vermeer clapped her hands, "I didn't expect that everyone would have to cook. I'm really looking forward to what today's dinner will be like~"

Ayi Ning sighed.

Isn't this the original idea you proposed?

I have been cooking for my master and sister since I was a child, and I am very confident in my cooking skills. But smelling the rich milk aroma coming from there, I usually prepare exquisite desserts for everyone. Vermeer is also very accomplished in this aspect.

In this way, divert attention...

Ayi Ning picked up the beef after the juice had been reduced and was suddenly stunned.

"I remember your pudding was still in the stove?"

"Ah...!" Vermeer raised her head in surprise, quickly put down the spoon in her hand, and took out heat-resistant gloves and iron tongs to get the pudding.

Seeing her slightly distracted, Ayi Ning pursed her lips.

She said she believed unconditionally, but she still couldn't help but feel anxious while waiting. I'm afraid only she herself knew what she was feeling.

"..."

But I am not qualified to say that she is.

I hope that guy who will never be passive under any circumstances can really live up to their carefully prepared surprise.

At this moment, the kitchen door was pushed open, and Belle rushed in with a look of panic.

"Outside, outside, outside——!"

Wei Mier and Ayi Ning looked at each other.

"What's going on outside? Someone broke in?" Vermeer asked aloud.

Belle didn't look like Luo Wei had come back early, and with those four people guarding outside, it was impossible for anything unexpected to happen.

The cat lady held the door and responded: "It's not that I broke in, but there are many people surrounding me outside. I'm afraid they are going to fight with that dangerous person!"

"Which dangerous person?" Ayi Ning frowned.

After hearing the answer, both of them looked down at the same time, put down the lamb soup and beef in the pot, and immediately took off their aprons and went out.

When they came outside, Shaye was already standing in the middle of the steps holding a gun, and below her, outside the realm of the beast god——

Marcus Callendale, the Eastern Marshal of the Hoof Fire Empire, is standing there.

"What are you doing here?" Vermeer quickly rushed to Shaye's side, and Atetana's reminder came to her mind.

Marcus's feet were only one step away from the realm of the Beast God, and behind him were a crowd of members of various forces, all staring at him with red eyes.

"Let Lovie Brook come out, I will ask him about the whereabouts of a person and then leave."

"He's not here." Vermeer said without changing her eyes.

The Hooffire Empire destroyed many people's homes. According to the news from Yingsuo, Marcus, as the marshal, has been wanted by the whole city of Crownless City today.

It's not surprising that the other party came to Luo Wei, but at this point, the war is all lost, and there's no guarantee that he won't do something crazy.

"Oh? What a coincidence. Why is he not there every time I come to see him?"

Marcus laughed to himself, as if he couldn't see the people behind him at all, and looked down at the field on the ground.

"There are really a lot of rats outside, so - can I go in and wait?"

"No."

Vermeer shook her head firmly.

Not only did they have to cover up Luo Wei's whereabouts and prevent anyone from disturbing him, but they also couldn't let Marcus enter the workshop in front of so many forces.

This is not only a matter of sheltering him, but letting such a dangerous existence in, no matter what his intentions, is inappropriate without clear countermeasures.

Marcus looked at her and sneered.

"You look weak, but this is the second time you have rejected my proposal without reservation. Shouldn't you say that you are not as opinionated as you seem?"

"Thank you."

Vermeer naturally didn't think this was a compliment, but her answer still made people break into cold sweats.

Shaye stood silently in the center, while Ayi Ning stood coldly on the other side. All three of them were ready to intercept at any time.

Further up, Athetana is sitting in the pavilion, and Elise is leaning to the side and looking down casually, which is daunting.

"That's fine," Marcus smiled nonchalantly, closed his eyes and turned around to look at those who hated him, "Then I'll wait here. In the meantime, it doesn't matter if you come together."<

/p>

"I don't think that's necessary."

A cold voice came from behind the crowd, and everyone looked over there. A black-haired man wearing a black cloak and a black coat stood there, holding several shoe boxes in his hand. He looked like he had just arrived.

Coming back from leisurely shopping.

Everyone: "..."

Vermeer's eyes lit up, but she quickly noticed that now was not the time to be happy, and quickly controlled her expression to look fierce.

The crowd made a way for him, and while Luo Wei put the finished magic potion into his cloak, he shook his head and sighed, his tone full of complaints.

"Why are you here again?"

He walked to a place three or four meters away from Marcus. The other person looked at what he was holding and frowned for a moment. It didn't look like he was deliberately pretending at all.

There were whispers coming from the side.

"I heard that he really went shopping with a beautiful girl on South Street today."

"Are you sure...Wuguan City was bombed just yesterday?"

"I received it too...it's absolutely true."

Marcus' expression changed. He had just experienced the war yesterday, and today he was shopping with a woman. He began to doubt whether the other party was as informed as he thought.

Luo Wei stopped there, his brows furrowed deeper than him.

"Why, are you standing there trying to block me from going home?"

"I don't put as much thought into it as you do. I came here to ask you questions." Marcus responded.

"Then you have to let me go back and put down my things," Luo Wei shook his head, "Maybe you are quite interested in what I am holding?"

Marcus was silent for a moment.

"What's that in your hand?"

He originally didn't plan to ask, but the other party mentioned it deliberately to confirm whether he was really not doing his job properly.

Luo Wei sighed and took out the box from the bag, and the eyes behind him followed it. After tinkering for a while, he displayed all the contents inside——

Women's shoes.

There are several different styles, but all of them are women's shoes.

Everyone: "..."

Vermeer shrank her neck.

Hmm...why is he buying so many girls' shoes...

Luo Wei put them away one by one, stood up and spread his hands: "Is it possible that Marshal Dongdong is very interested in women's shoes?"

"Thank you for not being sensitive."

Marcus shook his head and backed away.

It happens that such a person is most likely to have the information he wants.

Luo Wei walked straight over and couldn't help laughing when he saw Vermeer's deliberately stern face.

Why is there still flour on my face?

How can there be any persuasiveness like this... Really.

He handed over the bag in his hand, pinched her face, and said, "Put it away for me. It will be used in the future."

Hmm...

Who uses it? Does he use it?

Didn’t you go get the divine core?

She knew that now was not the time to ask questions carefully, so she just held the bags and looked at him.
To be continued...
