The Hero Kicked Me Out of His Party, So I Turned Him into My Maid - Chapter 64

The little girl’s long hair was clipped into pigtails with a broken copper hairpin, and her smiling face looked especially warm among the bouquets in the basket, like a little sun.

“This is… a rose?”

The little girl saw that the person in front of her was truly androgynous, one of the most beautiful people she had ever seen. If it weren’t for the Adam’s apple, she would have called her “big sister.”

Fu Rongyuan wore a low-cut shirt and loose trousers today. She was dressed neatly, but she wouldn’t stand out among ordinary people.

Since completing the task given to him by his original body, Fu Rongyuan has been wandering around the capital.

Due to the demon invasion, a curfew has been in effect in the capital for some time.

At night, the Knights and the Guards would patrol the streets intensively, and any lone pedestrians found on the streets would be immediately arrested and interrogated.

Therefore, Fu Rongyuan has been living in the room in the capital where her main body stores alchemical materials, and she is learning alchemy, especially how to refine “energy-storing magic crystals”.

Thanks to the ability for the main body and the divine clone to share memories, Ariel has also learned the knowledge that Furong Yuan learned.

Through this, Ariel is personally refining “energy storage crystals” in her room.

“Yes, big brother, these are fresh roses. Would you like a bouquet?”

Fu Rongyuan stroked the little girl’s hair and suddenly thought of Mila, who also had the same temperament as a little girl.

So, Furong Yuan softened her heart and spent a tiny amount of money to buy a rose.

This money means nothing to the person in question, but it’s the source of a day’s income for this little girl.

Then, Fu Rongyuan’s sharp eyes looked towards a corner, where two figures vanished in an instant.

That’s right, this is the biggest problem right now—Lynn and Felin are probably going to stop the main body from refining the “energy storage magic crystal”.

The “Gathering Star Sand” that Felin initially gave to the main body contained another substance that was not easy to detect.

If the original body hadn’t discovered it in time, and had refined this substance into the energy storage crystal, it would have immediately destroyed a portion of the original body’s tissues.

Fortunately, the original body was prepared.

Lynn and Felin hid in the alley, their view filled with Furong Yuan.

“Isn’t this the scholar newly recruited by Lady Karina’s team?”

When Brian and his team were recruiting scholars in the square, Phil watched from a short distance and immediately recognized Fu Rongyuan’s face.

Lynn was very puzzled:

“Then what is he here for? Why is he staring at the two of us?”

Felin shook his head:

“I don’t know. Should we shake him off?”

Lynn took out a gem from her bosom. The gem looked ordinary, but it faintly emitted a strange light.

“Lady Karina said that putting this gem into the alchemy array will absorb all the ‘Gathering Demon Star Sand.’ This means Ariel won’t be able to alchemize anything for a while.”

“So, Philin, you go distract him, and I’ll sneak into the room and put the gem into Ariel’s transmutation circle.”

“Okay, let’s do it that way…”

Just as Felin stood up, a strange breeze blew by, not from behind or in front, but from above.

Immediately afterwards, Fu Rongyuan descended from the sky on a gentle breeze and hovered in the air.

With a wave of his hand, a magic circle appeared beneath his feet, instantly creating a wall of wind that separated Lynn and Phil from the outside world.

Alyssa specially refined the Hibiscus Essence again to repair his meridians.

Now, thanks to her control over the wind from her previous life, Fu Rongyuan is completely unafraid of the so-called first and second place in the first year.

Fu Rongyuan landed lightly, smelling the rose in his hand. His elegant demeanor was completely out of place with the tense atmosphere at the moment.

Fu Rongyuan’s voice was calm, yet it exuded an invisible pressure:

“Is that the ‘Demon-Slaying Stone’ you have? Hand it over now.”

Lynn’s pupils contracted sharply.

It’s important to know that besides absorbing “Demon-Gathering Star Sand,” the “Demon-Slaying Stone” has another crucial function—it’s a bomb.

With enough magic power, a house can be instantly reduced to ruins.

At a time when martial law was in effect in the capital, the consequences of being found holding a “demon-slaying stone” were predictable.

Felin was so frightened that she took two steps back, her back pressed against the wall of wind, the icy air sending a chill down her spine.

“This has nothing to do with us…”

Fu Rongyuan took a step forward, clutching a rose in her hand:

“My eyes are perfectly fine, madam. What you hold is indeed the ‘Demon-Slaying Stone.’ As a scholar, I cannot mistake it.”

“Or should I have the guards or knights check if what you have is genuine?”

With each word he spoke, Lynn’s face paled a little more.

Film’s legs went weak, and she almost knelt down.

Lynn gritted her teeth and forced a smile: “Who are you trying to scare? You’re just—”

Before she finished speaking, Fu Rongyuan lightly raised her left hand.

Dozens of fine wind blades suddenly swirled up from the inside of the wind wall, grazing the hems of their clothes and the tips of their hair, precisely severing Lynn’s belt and Felin’s shoulder bag.

The debris landed cleanly and neatly, and neither of them broke a scratch.

“Ladies, the hero is undergoing trials, and as his teammate, it is my duty to maintain order in the capital. If the hero were here, he would do the same.”

“On the other hand, we’ve only just met, this is our first time meeting. As long as you hand over the gems or destroy them, I won’t make things difficult for you.”

Lynn gripped the stone tightly, a chill running through her.

She could sense that this scholar’s strength was equivalent to that of a third or fourth-year student in the academy, and she couldn’t beat him if she fought him rashly.

However, without this stone, the only remaining path is to break the magic circle with one’s own body.

Such a commotion would attract knights or guards. Even after Ariel relocates, she will still be able to refine “energy storage crystals”.

Therefore, the only option is to resist, escape this magic circle, and escape the scholar’s territory.

Lynn winked at Felin, then subtly moved to block half of Felin’s body:

“Why should I believe you, scholar? Besides, what I have in my hand is not some kind of demon-slaying stone. If you’re so capable, come closer and take a closer look.”

“Hmph, trying to escape?”

Lynn and Phil were used to their little tricks in their previous life, so how could Furong Yuan not see through them?

The rose petals drifted in the wind, and gusts of wind gathered, intertwined, and overlapped behind them, propelling the petals out at unimaginable speeds.

The petal pierced the air, and also pierced an innocent fly that happened to be passing by, crushing its body.

The petals pierced through the wind wall and brushed past Lynn’s ear.

Lynn felt a cool sensation near her ear, followed by warm liquid flowing down her cheek.

The staff in Felin’s hand was struck by the petals like a high-speed flying stone, and flew out, crashing heavily into the wind wall, creating a crack that almost ran through the entire staff.

That was the new staff that Phil had just bought.
