Crossover Anime: Miss, please don't do this, I still have a silly cat to raise.

As she spoke, Lieyan grabbed Banami's hand: "Sister! This battle can't be fought without you!"

"Huh?" Banami scratched her head in confusion. A battle? What battle? A competitive eating contest?

"Hey, hey, hey." Hamaoka Azusa pulled Lieyan over: "That won't do now. You're the one who farmed the monsters, so don't try to drag others down with you."

After all, the first time should ideally be pleasant and private, so that they can understand that Lu Nan is not someone that one person can contend with.

Sesame Rin rolled her eyes. How dare you say that to her? Didn't you always trick me into coming with you to fight monsters?

The girls' friendship was strange; they started chatting together in no time, seemingly about the outfit Flame wore at the beginning, which was also the armor of the Spider Queen.

"Boss!" Dai Miao pounced on Lu Nan's face like a facehugger: "You scared me to death, meow! I thought you were going to die, Boss, meow!"

The little guy was crying. Last night he dreamed that the eldest brother was a skinny, dried-up corpse lying on the bed looking at him, while the fiery eldest sister was standing next to him, making a peace sign for a photo.

I was really scared to death.

Lu Nan sighed helplessly, "I'm fine, I'm perfectly alright. Don't give me that 'How come you're not dead from exhaustion yet, boss' look... Where's Wangcai?"

Dai Miao wiped away her tears and pointed behind her: "There, meow."

Looking south, Lu spotted Wangcai frozen in place and Yoshihara Aina clinging to him with shining eyes.

"...What does that mean?" Lu Nan looked at Wangcai with some confusion.

However, the truth is that Wangcai also doesn't understand what's going on. He just came over with Daimiao and was suddenly hugged by this woman.

Wangcai is now wondering if he should give this woman a big jump.

"Um, what's this, Corpse-Making Beast?" Lu Nan asked, somewhat puzzled.

Yoshihara Aina nuzzled Wangcai, then looked up at Lu Nan with excitement: "Is this your dog, Lu Nan? He's so handsome...so cute! Can I sleep with him tonight?!"

Lu Nan fell silent. Looking at Yoshihara Aina's expression, he suddenly realized something. Was this girl a dog-lover?

Just like how Chisa from the cat-loving group really likes cats, it seems like Mana Yoshihara really likes dogs.

"Well, in a sense, yes, but... never mind, you should ask Lieyan instead." With that, Lu Nan decisively passed this hot potato to Lieyan, who was explaining various armor designs to the girls.

After learning that her boss was alright, Daimiao jumped into Lieyan's arms. After all, it had been a long time since she had seen Lieyan... Why does Lieyan smell so much like her boss?

"Lu Nan! Come on over!" Iori called out, raising her wine glass.

Lu Nan shook his head slightly. Really…

"coming!"

……

The boys started making a ruckus again. Although everyone knew it would turn out like this again, their well-behaved behavior would only last for a day or two at most. Once Lu Nan came back, they would probably go back to their old ways.

Lieyan didn't say anything at the time. In fact, she hadn't said anything to tell everyone to behave, but since they hadn't drunk her wine, they just naturally acted that way.

I feel like this group of people and the village chief should get along very well.

Although Lu Nan looks quite pleasing to the eye now, shirtless, drinking and playing drinking games, Lie Yan has something more interesting to do.

That is……

“Lu Nan used to be so small. Before the village chief retired, he often took me out to see the world, and back then Lu Nan was…”

As Lieyan recounted the story vividly, the girls' expressions provided her with immense emotional value.

Big cities are great! People speak so nicely and are so good-looking. They even make you wow when you hear a story.

There were few people of Lieyan's age in the village to begin with, and even fewer women she could talk to. Huoya and Shuiyun were both considered elders, and these two had already looked like this when she was a child, yet they were now trying to steal her husband after she grew up?!

An old dragon eating a young cow? Bah!

In addition, Ai Cao, who runs a dumpling shop, is always busy with various innovations, so Lie Yan rarely has the experience of interacting with girls his own age.

So it was inevitable that she would get more and more excited as she talked, and if Hamaoka Azusa hadn't stopped her, she would have told him about how Lunan was chased and pinched by the Daimyo's Shield Crab when she was a child... What? She already told him? Then it's alright.

To most people, Lu Nan, though sometimes unreliable, was generally a dependable person. However, Lie Yan gradually painted a different picture of him.

A demon who could shave the village chief's eyebrows while he was fast asleep at night; a stubborn kid who refused to pick up a weapon no matter how Instructor Ni Tai taught him, saying that his older brother would jump over and beat him up if he did; a silly kid who secretly ran out to stab the underside of a famous shield crab because he suddenly wanted to eat crab roe, and was chased for miles with crab claws, his pants torn and his bare bottom returning to the village...

Banami nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, childhood friends are right... Wait, it seems like I'm the one who fell from the sky?"

Banami, who had always adhered to the 80/20 rule, fell silent.

(The 80/20 rule: refers to the method proposed by Anzu Hachimi to distinguish between women in this world who are either childhood friends or vixens.)

However, Shima Rin and Hamaoka Azusa enjoyed listening to their crush's embarrassing stories from the past.

Lu Nan, who was drinking not far away, suddenly felt a chill down his spine, as if his underwear had been sold.

Iori asked curiously, "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling weak? You can't handle just this little bit?"

"Just trying to make your brother Lu laugh, fill it up, fill it up!" Lu Nan shook his head and stopped thinking about it. It couldn't be that Lie Yan had revealed all his embarrassing past stories, could it?

As Iori was laughing, he suddenly felt a chill down his spine, as if his basement had been sold. He turned around in confusion to look at the girl. Chisa seemed to be saying something, but he couldn't hear her clearly.

What happened? Oh well, it couldn't be that Chisa revealed all her embarrassing past stories, could it?

Kohei silently raised an eyebrow at the two strange people in front of him. What's wrong with these two? Are they both drunk? Why are they trying to be clever while drinking? Did they stuff a jumping egg in their mouths? Wow, they're playing such fancy games, and they didn't even invite me?

Kohei was suddenly grabbed by the back of the neck and dragged all the way to the balcony.

He stared blankly at Yoshihara Mana.

"What's wrong?"

"Tell me about the embarrassing things you did when you were a child."

"what?"

Chapter 390 How can I not fall for you?

Lu Nan had originally planned to take Lie Yan out for some time, instead of always staying at home and only thinking about riding him, as that would be bad for his health.

But Lieyan just shook his head and said there would be plenty of time to play later. After all, even if he played during the remaining time now, he wouldn't have a good time. He might as well wait until he was done with everything and then have some fun.

In a sense, it could actually be considered a honeymoon.

It must be said that once Lieyan got used to it, he became stronger and stronger in battle, and even showed signs of being able to hold off Lu Nan by himself, which can be described as a gift.

However, this was tough on Hamaoka Azusa. Sometimes, after a long day at work, she would take a shower and get a good night's sleep, only to be dragged out of bed to grind for experience points. She would roll her eyes, not knowing whether she was angry or pleased.

By the last day, Lieyan was even able to fight Lunan head-on without being at a disadvantage. If this continued, it would only be a matter of time before Lunan's defeat cutscene was played.

But unfortunately... what a pity! Lu Nan discovered something that was very disadvantageous to Lie Yan. As long as he pinched the tip of Lie Yan's penis and rubbed it slightly, all of Lie Yan's fighting spirit would disappear in an instant, turning into continuous begging for mercy.

It seems this is Lie Yan's biggest weakness. If Lu Nan hadn't discovered it, it would have been fine, but now that he has, it means that in most cases, Lie Yan alone probably wouldn't be able to defeat Lu Nan. It's truly pathetic and lamentable.

Soon, the Flame's vacation will be over, and it's time to go back and solve the kingdom's problems.

However, Lieyan wasn't too sad. After all, the initial bridge had been built, and crossing it wouldn't be too difficult in the future. After all, once you've done it once, you'll do it again.

Compared to this, Lieyan was still worried that Shuiyun and Huoya might sneak over while she was away and turn Lu Nan into their shapes. However, when she thought about Lu Nan's fighting power, Lieyan felt relieved. It was hard to say who would turn into whom.

Lu Nan didn't feel disappointed. In a sense, Lie Yan was on a business trip. He just didn't know how the food was in the kingdom... They couldn't be eating dumplings again, could they?

Flame, who has absolutely no cooking skills, arrived there without Sister Fire Sprout's help to cook, and neither she nor Daimiao were there...

Thinking of this, Lu Nan immediately felt uneasy. This was really bad news. If Lie Yan had lost weight when he came back, who would make up for the missing flesh in his thighs and waist?

Although neither of them was heartbroken, others were, and we must mention a few people.

Firstly, there's our Ms. Hamaoka Azusa, who strongly resisted the fact that Reijin was leaving. After all, with the most capable one gone, the burden would fall on her, the second most capable one, which was undoubtedly tragic.

Secondly, there's Wangcai. After all, he had to go back after only a few days with his little partner, Daimiao, and he hadn't had enough fun outside, which was a real shame.

By the way, every afternoon, Dai Miao goes out for a walk with Wang Cai and beats up any stray dogs on the roadside that don't know their place. Now Wang Cai is the most powerful dog king within ten miles of Grand Blue. Oh, and Dai Miao is the regent.

However, according to rumors, Daimiao is happy about the news that Sister Flame is going back, since the boss didn't sleep with him when Sister Flame was around.

Lastly, there are Rin Sesame and Mana Yoshihara. The only reason they are reluctant to part with their dogs is that they both love puppies. In other words, they are both dog lovers. Mana Yoshihara has never had a dog because she was worried that she wouldn't be able to take good care of it, while Rin Sesame couldn't have one because her family members were allergic to dogs.

So the two of them fell in love with Wangcai the moment they saw him. If Wangcai had stayed for two more days, he might have been dragged to wear a little skirt and had lipstick put on his mouth.

But in the end, the day when Lieyan had to return to the village was getting closer and closer.

After receiving everyone's blessings for a safe journey, the group left the last bit of time for Lu Nan and Lie Yan.

In Grand Blue's backyard, in front of the Flame Village tent, the two are embracing.

Strictly speaking, it was the flames that clung tightly to Lu Nan, as if trying to leave his scent all over their bodies.

Wangcai and Daimiao, who were squatting nearby, turned their heads away speechlessly, showing their backsides to the two of them. They had had enough of the dog food these past two days.

"Are you leaving?" Lu Nan asked helplessly, supporting Lie Yan as if afraid she would slip.

"Hmm." Lieyan hummed, "Almost there, I'll hold you a little longer, anyway, it won't delay our return."

Lu Nan couldn't hold back anymore. What the hell? There's even a delay.

"If the food over there is really bad and all you get are dumplings, ask Sister Huoya to make more bento boxes," Lu Nan instructed with a hint of helplessness. "Also, if it's a hunting commission, don't rush too much. There's no one to carry you around and get medicine while I'm gone. Bring plenty of secret medicines, okay? Don't be stingy with them. I've gathered enough materials. Remember to go to the plaza to collect your materials..."

Lu Nan rambled on and on, while Lie Yan quietly buried his head in the crook of Lu Nan's neck and listened.

It's so nice to hear these words. It's just a small thing, something she could do herself, but Lu Nan is always worried and keeps saying it, as if she's always that careless child in his eyes.

He was always so worried about me, and he would feel sorry for me even if I was just slightly injured.

Even though he didn't have a hunter's license before, he was still worried about Lieyan after she made a request. He would secretly follow her from a distance and watch her from a distance. Whenever Lieyan was accidentally elbowed away, he would rush out, hug her, and feed her medicine while running away.

"As long as you don't kill the monster, it doesn't count as participating in the hunt, right?"

He always said that he would go along with any request that didn't require a hunter's license.

Lu Nan, oh Lu Nan, how can I not be tempted by you?

"I don't really want to go back," Flame muttered softly, burying her face even deeper.

Lu Nan, somewhat helplessly, lifted Lie Yan to prevent him from suddenly slipping down: "Why don't you want to go back all of a sudden? Are you tired? Take a good rest after you finish this. Also, if you get bullied in the kingdom, or if someone looks down on you because you're from the village, don't give them a hard time, understand? Come back and complain to the village chief. When I get back, I'll take my brother to smash their bastards..."

Lieyan looked up at the incessantly chattering Lu Nan, her eyes crinkling, and then she bit Lu Nan's lip.

Lu Nan paused, then helplessly hugged Lie Yan even tighter.

She's still as clingy as ever.
