Chapter 219: Ella’s Suggestion
Due to the accident in the Netherworld, the teachers and students who participated in the competition were granted a special leave of more than a week.
The seal of the Inner Netherworld was closed again, and peace was somewhat restored. Although there were some accidents in the process, fortunately, there were no so-called casualties. Although Lucy had “died” once in the middle, Chen Ran and Cheryl kept this matter hidden so as not to make everyone worry too much. Regarding the accident in the Inner Netherworld, Chen Ran and the others just glossed over it, and everyone rejoiced at the good luck of the three.
The day after coming out of the Netherworld, the academy held an internal commendation event. Team 4 naturally won the first place in this challenge, along with the prize money and other honors.
But most of the students in Team 4 didn’t care about the reward of this competition. For the main few of them, they had all gained something more precious than the competition.
For Chen Ran, the biggest reward he received was actually the so-called title of Best Teacher. Braving the Inner Netherworld to rescue two beautiful female students became a beautiful story in the academy. Many students wanted to know in the next story class how Chen Ran brought the two beautiful girls out.
As for the news from the imperial palace, it would take a few more days. But at that time, the members of Team 4 would definitely be invited to the Imperial City and be awarded high-level titles such as nobility.
Chen Ran was finally free. However, he also received news that his old subordinate Johnson was waiting outside the Dawn Academy early.
So, Chen Ran specially went to the agreed bar to meet the long-lost big guy.
Johnson was as tall as ever, but it seemed that he had gained some weight. Chen Ran pinched a handful of flesh from his waist.
For this, the big fool scratched his shiny bald head, feeling a little ashamed.
“Um, boss. Long time no see. You look much more spirited.”
How could he not be spirited? He had money to spend, equipment to take, levels to raise, beauties to accompany him, and a pile of rewards yet to be claimed…
Chen Ran smiled. “Indeed, long time no see. I didn’t expect those things to happen that day. But fortunately, I’m fine. It feels good to see an old subordinate.”
After sitting down, Chen Ran first had lunch with Johnson. Then he habitually asked about the situation in Diya City.
Johnson’s answer was much more detailed than the magic letter back then.
The situation in Diya City was quite good. After Crown Prince Sayven’s special rectification, although some long-standing bad customs in Diya City could not be eradicated, it was no longer as smoky as before. He had also left Chen Ran a good business. He just had to go back and collect the money.
As for the group of bandits who had worked under Chen Ran, although Crown Prince Sayven wanted to give them some small boss positions, they habitually took up the mercenary trade. Because of their good quality and excellent equipment, they gradually became the most famous mercenary agency in Diya City, mainly working for Chen Ran.
Mihawk from the seaport was also one of the few surviving big shots. But he did his shipping business honestly. And his own strength was also there, so he lived leisurely. At the same time, he asked Johnson to pass a message that if Chen Ran had time, he could take him to the real sea country to play.
As for Nicole, because of her new status, the forces of the Holy Church would also be stationed in Diya City. For that luxurious first-tier city, the Holy Church would send a high-ranking priest to preside over the affairs there.
Nicole also left a special message that Chen Ran could go to the Holy Church to find her when he had time. At the same time, he could accept the reward reserved for him by the Holy Church, which would definitely not disappoint him. The current Holy Church attached great importance to Chen Ran, this newcomer.
“Boss, I have something to tell you, something very important…”
Seeing Johnson’s rare serious expression, Chen Ran asked curiously, “What is it?”
“Boss, I’m leaving,” Johnson looked guilty. “Boss, you know, I’m an imperial soldier. I’ve dedicated most of my life to the battlefield. Not long ago, I heard that the Austro-Hungarian Empire has signs of invasion again. The Northern Legion has had many small-scale conflicts with them, and it is very likely that a direct battle will break out. After resting for these two years, my body has also become slack. Look, I’ve gained weight. Boss, I know you treat me well, but I was born to be a soldier. My life and passion have long been dedicated to the battlefield. I have always kept the lives of those brothers who died at the hands of the enemy in my heart!”
Looking at the passionate Johnson, Chen Ran blinked. “Have you decided?”
“I’ve decided,” Johnson lowered his head and said ashamedly. “This news also came unexpectedly. It happened during the few days I was waiting for your competition, boss. It was also a temporary decision. I originally thought I could work under you for a while longer, boss…”
“There’s no need to feel guilty. Do what you think is right. No one will stop you,” Chen Ran stood up, walked over kindly, stopped beside Johnson, and patted his shoulder. “Eagles should soar, and tigers should roar in the mountains. Everyone has their own place. A lion kept in a golden cage will only gradually lose its wild nature and be laughed at in the end. If you want to go, go boldly.”
Chen Ran smiled and took out another small storage ring he had made himself from his storage ring and threw it to Johnson.
“Money is useless for you soldiers. It’s good enough to be alive. This ring was originally prepared for you. Inside is a set of gladiator battlefield gear I prepared for you long ago. I planned to reward you when I had time. Since you have your own things to do, take it as your reward for following me all these days. Don’t think it’s too little.”
Johnson took the ring and felt the complete set of impressive armor and a double-edged great axe named Purgatory inside, a set of things he had dreamed of. Even this real man couldn’t help but shed tears of excitement and even knelt down in front of Chen Ran.
“Boss, you are so good!”
“Alright, alright, a big man like you, don’t be so sentimental, okay? It’s just a set of equipment. Your boss is the least short of money.”
Chen Ran sighed. Facing the loyalty of this big man, he was indeed a little moved.
The set of fine-grade (blue) equipment Chen Ran gave Johnson was only one grade lower than the excellent-grade. It could be considered a top-grade fine item. Such a set of things plus a spatial ring was worth almost five or six hundred thousand gold coins in the market. And it was custom-made for Johnson, far exceeding the value of everything this big guy had done for Chen Ran.
But Chen Ran didn’t care. Some things couldn’t be measured by money.
And now, he had enough self-protection ability. Now even his women were eighth-tier and ninth-tier existences. The seventh-tier Johnson couldn’t help him much anymore. Let him go to the place most suitable for his life.
“Alright, that’s it. Your ability is not bad. If you stay alive, you will definitely have a chance to break through to the eighth tier and put on this set of equipment. I don’t ask for anything else. Don’t embarrass me. Don’t come to see me if you don’t become a general in the future.”
Chen Ran patted Johnson’s shoulders and said goodbye, “Goodbye, big guy.”
“Boss, thank you so much!”
“That’s it…”
Chen Ran waved his hand dashingly and left, leaving Johnson with an infinitely majestic back.
Today, Chen Ran finished a sumptuous dinner prepared by Ella for him.
Using almost the same method to get the little girl drunk and coax her into her small room, Chen Ran and Ella started their long-lost two-person world again.
After experiencing another climax, Ella quickly begged for mercy because she couldn’t hold on. Chen Ran was also very attentive and stopped at the right time.
He began to kiss Ella’s snow-white skin like raindrops, intoxicated by the pair of snow-white mountains.
“This can’t go on,” Ella lay on the bed, sweating profusely, letting Chen Ran gently take from her, while smiling. “Are you interested in finding a sister for me?”
“What are you talking about?” Chen Ran lightly pressed on Ella’s soft body, watching Ella’s eyes. He was wondering if Ella already knew about him and Cheryl?
“At noon, Miss Lucy came to see me specifically,” Ella said. “About this Netherworld Selection Competition, about that accident, it seems you have completely captured this girl’s heart. She said that without you, she would have died in the Inner Netherworld long ago. She knows you care about my feelings, so she specifically came to me and asked if I was willing to accept her.”
“Uh… I swear, I haven’t done anything to her…” Chen Ran looked nervous and explained, “Ella, I…”
“Thank you for your respect,” Ella interrupted Chen Ran, kissing his chest. “Miss Lucy is a very good girl. It’s rare that she likes you so sincerely and is even willing to give her life for you. You also know my awkward situation now. As a girlfriend, I can’t let you truly enjoy yourself at this moment. But Miss Lucy can make up for what I lack, and she gets along well with me. If you accept, I think she would be a good choice.”
“Even you suggest I take her…” Chen Ran smiled a little strangely. “Are you indulging your man too much?”
“This world is like this. The capable get more,” Ella said nonchalantly. “I believe you have a high ability to judge for yourself. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have come this far. I also have frequent contact with Miss Lucy, and we get along very well. We can become very good sisters. At the same time, she can also share some small pressures for me.”
Ella shrugged her sexy shoulders indifferently. Her moving sexy collarbones made one want to kiss them again. “Every time I reach the clouds and can’t continue, but you’ve just gotten into the mood, as a girlfriend, I can’t help but blame myself. I didn’t expect the solution to come to me. Moreover, the family behind Miss Lucy can also give you a lot of help and status. Maybe there are places where they can help you.”
“Let’s not talk about that so much for now. It’s a bit complicated to talk about these things at this time.”
Chen Ran smiled wickedly and entered Ella’s body deeply again, starting a new round of sprinting, causing the girl to let out a series of beautiful moans, making Chen Ran even more excited. He cast a “Light of Serenity (increases perception and sensitivity)” on himself. Finally, when Ella rose to the clouds, he also reached the finish line, pouring all the energy in his body into Ella.
Using skills reasonably makes one relaxed all over.
