Chapter 288 Teasing Elle

Chapter 288 Teasing Elle

Looking at the sunlight after spending days in darkness, all the women's eyes become moist. When the goblins have captured them and brought them to the cave, their fate is sealed as the playthings and breeding machines for the goblins, and in the end, die a miserable death at the goblins' hands and become their feast.

However, everything has changed now. Not only were they alive, but they also returned to the surface from the hellhole and could feel the warm sunlight against their skins.

"I...I... I thought I was going to die there and never gonna see my family again...but it's different now and we can return to our family..." One of the women spoke in a dazed voice as the warm sunlight brushed over her face as she gazed at the towering walls of Monbrook City.

"I couldn't agree more... Everything feels like a dream to me..." Another woman nodded, as everything that happened to them was nothing less than magical.

After that, all the rescued women except for Leah turned to see Yuan and his wives, one of them then said, "Mr. Yuan and Mrs. Yuan, Thank you very much for saving us from those disgusting monsters, if it weren't for you then who knows what would've been our fate."

"Not to mention the priceless elixir you used on her, because of your generosity we'll be able to live an ordinary life again, perhaps an even better one." Another woman said.

"You've done so much for us commoners, Mr. Yuan. At this point, we don't know how we can repay this big favor..." Another woman said with a bittersweet smile on her face, as she was unsure of if she could even repay this huge debt in her lifetime.

Yuan looked at the woman for a moment and shook his head. "You don't have to worry about repaying anything..."

"I've done what needed to be done, and we're here to slaughter goblins as part of a hunter-association task. Everything was merely a coincidence." Yuan said to the rescued woman with a small smile on his face.

"But—" The woman was about to say something but was interrupted by Yuan.

"As I've mentioned, you don't need to thank us anymore as we did what we were supposed to do," Yuan said.

"We understand." All the rescued women nodded and didn't speak any further.

Anna Grace then said, "Since Ava has slaughtered every last goblin within the cave system as well as rescued the women captured by the goblins, it's about time we return to the city and submit the mission report at the Hunter Association."

"Very well. Let's head back to the city then." Yuan quickly nodded as he had the same thought in his mind and led them out of the forest.

It took them only a few minutes to come out of the forest as they were only in the outer area of the forest. After coming out of the forest, the city gate was clearly visible from there and they could see a long line of carriages and wagons lined up to enter the city.

Sometimes later, they arrived at the city gate and saw that people were forming a huge line to enter the city.

"Damn it! Why is there such a long line ahead?! I hate to stand in line the most! Agh!" Lily stomped her feet in frustration looking at the long line ahead, which didn't look like that would end within an hour.

Seeing her daughter being impatient to enter the city, Anna Grace said, "Lily, it's not just us who wanted to get inside the city. You should learn to be more patient."

"Ah, whatever... It isn't like anything we can do about it." Lily shrugged and waited in line to get inside the city.

While they waited in line in front of the city gate, Leah stared at Yuan's wives' looks from time to time, as she found their beauty unmatched in this world.

And seeing their unparalleled beauty, a question appeared on her mind. How did Yuan find so many unparalleled beauties as his wives that even the Prince of the empire could afford to accomplish?

'Their beauty is really unparalleled... I've never seen women as beautiful as them. Even though I'm also a woman compared to them... I'm nothing...' Leah muttered to herself inwardly.

Although her beauty was considered one of the most beautiful women within Monbrook city among the common folk, consuming the miraculous medicine from Yuan increased her beauty significantly.

However, when compared to the beauty of Yuan's wives, her beauty doesn't even come close.

'It was a wishful thinking that I have a chance to be with him, compared to the beauty of his wives, mine doesn't even come close... I'm just a dirty woman who was raped by a group of goblins...' Leah sighed inwardly with a sad look on her face.

However, the sad look on Leah's face didn't go unnoticed by Anna Grace.

"It seems that Leah girl has fallen for my darling's charm, it can't be helped since darling's charms are too lethal for us, women. But from the look of it, she appears to be a kind-hearted woman..." A mysterious smile appeared on Anna Grace's face as she glanced at Leah.

Although Leah was staring at their beauty, as a woman she was certain that Leah had already fallen for her son due to him saving her and as well as the other women from their death.

Sometimes later, once the line was clear ahead of them, they entered the city without wasting a single moment.

Once they're inside the city?, they catch quite a lot of attention from the people. As many beautiful young women were following a single male, why wouldn't it create a commotion in public?

Yuan and his wives ignored the whispers of the people as though it happened to them daily and they're used to such situations. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case for Leah and the other women they rescued from the goblin hideout.

Ignoring the peoples' gazes and whispers, Yuan turned to see Leah and the women and said, "If it's not too much trouble, could you please accompany us to the hunter association to explain the situation?"

Except for Leah, the other women looked at each other for a moment, as they hesitated to follow Yuan to the hunter association as they'd never been to that place before.

Looking at the uncertain look on all the rescued women's faces, Yuan said, "Don't worry It will only take a few minutes. After that, you're all to return to your families."

Then one of the women stepped forward and with a smile on her face, she said, "Alright, we will follow you. You've done so much for us, this is the least thing we can do for you."

"Very well. Then follow me." Yuan told them to follow him and lead them towards the hunter association, his wives, Leah and the rescued women nodded and followed his lead.

After walking for a few minutes, They arrived at the hunter association.

Since it was still early for the other hunters to return from their mission, the association hall looked quite empty and only a few hunters sat at the table on the tavern side discussing with one another.

"Let's go and quickly submit the mission report to the receptionist, we can't make them wait long since they want to reunite with their friends and family," Yuan said before walking towards receptionist Elle, who was sitting at her table in a relaxed manner staring at the ceiling with a dazed look on her face.

'Hmmm, did receptionist Elle find herself a boyfriend or something?' Yuan wondered.

"Of my, Miss Receptionist, have you found yourself a boyfriend or something that you're dazed out like this?" After arriving at the reception desk, Yuan said to her with a teasing voice, seeing her in a trance like this.

"What? Boyfriend? That's impossible!" Receptionist Elle immediately came out of her daze after hearing Yuan's teasing voice and her cheeks turned red like an apple.

"Oh, is that so? Then how would you explain the blush on your face?" Yuan let out a playful grin on his face.

"W-Well it's because you appeared out of nowhere and suddenly asked something like this. So of course I'd be caught off-guard and become embarrassed. hmph!" Receptionist Elle snorted with her cheeks still flushed in red.

'Haha, I never expected Miss Receptionist to be so shy...' Yuan laughed quietly to himself, finding receptionist Elle's current reaction humorous.

"Haha, good excuse." Yuan laughed as he didn't buy her words, and then he said, "Alright, enough about that. Let's move on to the main subject here."

"That would be wonderful. So, I presume that your three wives have completed the mission they accepted without any hindrance?" replied receptionist Elle, not wanting to divulge her personal life to Yuan and his wives.

"Well, sort off," Yuan responded.

Receptionist Elle frowned at his response, and then her eyes landed on the unfamiliar women standing behind Yuan's wives, and wondered who those women could be as she had never seen them with Yuan.

"By the way, who are those women behind your wives?" Receptionist Elle asked pointing her finger toward the unfamiliar women'.

"They're the women we rescued inside the goblin's hideout," Yuan said calmly. "I'm not sure if it was their luck or what, but they got stuck in a chamber as huge rocks blocked the entrance of a chamber inside the cave system before the goblins could do anything to them."

"And after we slaughtered all the goblins, we heard their cries for help and successfully saved them," Yuan said a moment later.n/-o--v-(E.(l((b)-I)-n
