Sang Bo snapped his fingers ostentatiously, and without keeping anyone in suspense, he slowly began to speak.

"Witness? What? Are we trying to catch some bad guy?"

Hook, who had misheard, raised his little head and asked in confusion.

He covered his forehead helplessly:

"It's certification! Only certified "gold diggers" can enter and exit here. They are ordered to collect mechanical wreckage from everywhere underground and bring it to Swarlow for repair."

"So what do we do? Don't hesitate, or I'll do it to you."

Xier was a little irritable towards this cunning and smooth businessman, and urged him impatiently.

"We just need to..."

"Beep - Clara's authorized target detected, verification successful, you can pass through the door."

Sangbo shrank his head speechlessly. Just as he was about to tell Lin Lanjian how to obtain it, a short patrol robot came over and flashed its light to check Lin Lanjian's body.

A mechanical electronic sound rang out and the door opened.

"It seems that it is useless to have you. You didn't play any role at the critical moment."

Seeing this, Xier smiled and shrugged her shoulders.

"Ahem, how can you say that? Even if I don't have any credit, I have at least worked hard, right?"

His face stiffened. Sambo glanced at the robot that finished its job and walked away. He coughed twice and then made some helpless excuses.

"Stop chatting, let's go, we still want to see what that Swarovski robot looks like!"

San Yueqi said excitedly and walked into the gate with joy.

Lin Lanjian and the others followed suit and stepped inside.

"Huh? That guy Sambo seems to be gone again. I don't know when he disappeared."

After walking for a while, Xing suddenly realized something was wrong. He looked around and exclaimed in surprise.

"Don't pay attention to that guy. He just keeps appearing and disappearing."

Xier shook her head and didn't care much.

Lin Lanjian clearly saw Sangbo smile at him, then use the power of the fool to quietly leave.

Soon, the group arrived at the end of the journey.

"No, why is there another door? Damn it, it's even more complicated than the previous one."

March 7th saw the gate in front of him and cried out in silence and worry.

"It's okay, that's Clara, right, Xi'er?"

Bronya saw the blurry figure in red waiting by the door and asked with a smile.

"Well, this door should only be accessible to Swarovski and Clara, whom he considers family. She should have come here specially to open the door for us."

Xier nodded, thought for a moment and answered.

"Being a family with robots? It feels weird and kind of cool. Let's go over there!"

Hearing this, Sanyueqi urged excitedly and trotted over first.

Lin Lanjian smiled and followed Ji Zi and the others at a leisurely pace.

When they approached the main gate, the sight of a white-haired girl in red clothes with her delicate feet bare came clearly into the eyes of the group.

The girl had a soft and delicate face. She was standing tall and graceful, with red eyes and a smile on her cheeks, looking at the people who were approaching. To be more precise, she was staring at Lin Lanjian, waving her little hand to greet them.

"Brother Lanjian, the sisters, and Chief Oleg, everyone is here."

"Your name is Clara, right? Why don't you wear shoes? What if you get your feet scratched in this icy and snowy weather?"

San Yue Qi looked at her bare feet and spoke with some confusion and worry.

Ji Zi and other girls who had never seen her felt a little distressed when they saw this.

Clara glanced at them, smiled and shook her head: "Don't worry, sisters, Clara is actually used to it, and nothing will happen."

Lin Lanjian observed and found that the girl's feet indeed had no marks on them. They were flawless and smooth like jade, but he still felt sympathy for them.

"If you don't mind, let me carry you away, okay?"

"Brother Lanjian, Clara doesn't need to... Well, then, then okay, thank you for your help, brother."

Listening to the handsome man in front of her whispering with his head down, Clara subconsciously wanted to refuse, but seeing the gentleness and faint doting look on his face, her heart trembled slightly, thinking of the encounter in the old town last night, even though he left, he still cared about her and helped her...

Clara felt shy yet delighted, and felt a sweet and warm current flowing through her. Her fair face blushed, but she nodded quietly and agreed.

Chapter 167 Shy Clara

Lin Lanjian saw Clara lower her head with a shy face and agreed. This cute and timid look made him feel soft-hearted.

He couldn't help but smile, bent down slightly, stretched out his hands to hold the girl's back and round buttocks, and held her light and petite body in his arms.

"Ah, Brother Lan Jian..."

Clara cried softly, her body stiffened for a moment, then relaxed after feeling the man's warm and comfortable embrace. Her fair and tender face was flushed as she leaned against the vigorously beating chest.

She only felt that her heart seemed to be beating faster, like a little rabbit running back and forth as if it was about to jump out of her chest.

That was a family member different from the father in Clara's impression. Mr. Swarlow had a reliable but cold and stiff feeling.

The embrace of Brother Lan Jian, whom I secretly like, is warmer and more comfortable than the light of the fire. It makes people feel at ease and trust him unconsciously, thinking of leaning on him for the rest of their lives...

Clara was shy. She raised her eyes and took a quick look at his handsome face that was perfect from every angle. Then she quickly lowered her head. She felt happy in her heart and couldn't help but stretch out her hands to hug his broad waist.

"Brother, brother, Hook wants you to hug me too~"

Seeing this scene, Hook couldn't help but reveal an envious look. He raised his little head and looked at his favorite big brother, shouting while reaching out to pull at his clothes.

"Okay, didn't I hold you, Little Hook, before? Be good and let your sister give way."

Lin Lanjian shook his head and smiled. After he finished speaking, he saw that Hook was still looking at him pitifully. He took out a piece of peeled candy and fed it to her mouth helplessly and lovingly. Only then did the little loli laugh and stopped pestering him.

"Okay Clara, open the door and take us to see Swarovski. The sooner we finish this talk, the better. Seele and Bronya are both very eager."

Lin Lanjian held the girl's small buttocks, rubbed her head gently with his other hand, handed a piece of candy to her little mouth, and then spoke in a gentle voice.

"Okay, Brother Lan Jian. Although Mr. Swarovski's attitude has changed, I don't know if we can reach an agreement with Clara. If we fail... I hope everyone won't fight, okay?"

Clara felt the man's intimate gesture, and her pretty face couldn't help but blush with joy. She smiled happily and put the candy into her mouth. She felt the sweetness in her mouth and her heart was sweet too. She was so happy that her beautiful eyes curved into crescents.

Then she nodded in agreement, then remembered something and looked at him and the others, and spoke softly with a hint of pleading.

"Don't worry, Clara. It won't happen. Even if there is a conflict, my brother will stop it."

Shaking his head slightly, Lin Lanjian responded with a gentle smile.

"Okay~ Clara believes in you, Brother Lan Jian."

Hearing his words, the white-haired girl's eyes curved like a crescent moon, and then she looked down at the robot guarding the door and smiled, "Timmy, help Clara open the door, I want to see Mr. Swarlow."

"Ms. Clara, an outsider has been detected. Do you want to let him in?"

"It's okay, they are all Clara's friends and Mr. Swarlow's guests."

Seeing it asking, Clara didn't get impatient and responded softly.

"The instruction has been received and the access control terminal has been unlocked."

"Welcome Miss Clara and guests, please enter the inner area."

The mecha unlocked the sealed gate terminal and stepped aside.

San Yue Qi walked forward excitedly to operate the control terminal and opened the heavy door.

"Brother, go in. Clara will show you the way."

Seeing this, Clara raised her little head and looked at the man and whispered.

"okay."

Lin Lanjian nodded slightly and scratched the girl's nose affectionately. Seeing her cute and touching face with shyness and blushing, he couldn't help but smile gently and walked into the door.

As they were about to meet the robot boss who occupied an area in the lower level and blocked the furnace core passage, Ji Zi and the others also looked serious and followed Lin Lanjian's footsteps.

Following Clara's little finger path, bypassing some checkpoints and crossing several snowy areas, they soon arrived at where Swarovski was.

The pitch-black robot, much taller than a normal human, stood still, wearing a tattered sweater that barely covered much of the body, its cold mechanical pupils emitting a cool red light.

"Wow - is this Swarovski? It feels so oppressive. I feel like I might not dare to speak when we try to reason with each other later."

San Yue Qi looked at the robot not far away and spoke in a low voice.

"March, you don't look scared. Anyway, I'll leave the negotiation to you. I'm not good at this."

Looking at the slightly excited energetic girl, Xier crossed her arms over her chest, chuckled and shook her head.

"Negotiating with a robot... is also my first time, it's quite novel."

Bronya's elegant and solemn face also showed a hint of smile, then she turned her head to look at the petite girl with glasses and whispered, "With Brother Lin here, we will definitely achieve the best outcome and get what we want."

"Pella, I'll leave the recording to you, although I know it's probably not a good past."

"Yes, I understand, Sister Yaya."

Pera nodded, already holding the recording tools in her hands.

During this time together, both of them liked the same man and lived in the same guest room. Their relationship improved rapidly and the way they addressed each other naturally changed.

While the girls were walking and talking, Lin Lanjian also walked up to Swarovski holding Clara.

"I'm back, Mr. Swarovski, and I've brought everyone from Earthfire with me, as well as Brother Lanjian and his companions whom you wanted to meet."

Clara waved at the familiar robot in front of her and spoke with a smile.

"Clara, welcome back..."

"The brother Lan Jian you mentioned? A variable has been detected. The specific data is unknown, and the strength is unknown. He once used a strange and powerful force to instantly suppress the unrest in the mining area. His origin is mysterious, and his danger is medium to low."

A low mechanical voice was heard, and Swarovski nodded slightly. Then a red light fell on the man holding the white-haired girl, and the voice sounded again along with the data flowing in his pupils.

"Mr. Swarovski, can we talk to everyone now? Regarding the trip to the upper district... well, Bronya and the other sisters seem to have other questions to ask."

Clara breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Swarovski did not show any specific resistance to Lin Lanjian and his group, and then looked at him and said softly.

"Clara, leave him first. The target still has some unknown dangers."

Swarovski stared at Lin Lanjian with a warning, and told the girl to leave this individual variable whose specific strength could not be detected.

Chapter 168: I Want to Be My Brother’s Lover More Than My Family

"Don't be nervous, Mr. Swarovski. My brother is very good to Clara. He was the one who asked me to bring back the painkillers yesterday."

"Besides...Brother Lan Jian also helped me collect a lot of useful components, otherwise the energy supply system of the settlement would not be able to continue to be used."

Clara shook her head and explained with a gentle smile, moving to a more comfortable position in Lin Lanjian's arms as she spoke, happily rubbing her little head against his chest.

Seeing the dependent and comfortable smile on the girl's face, Swarovski could vaguely sense a complex emotion, like the liking and love among humans, but he was unable to analyze anything with his body.

"Brother... a familiar name among humans. I can sense Clara's happiness and relief as she leans on his arms. So you consider him a family member?"

Swarovski was silent for a while, as if analyzing and calculating the data he had obtained, and then asked her a question.

However, there was something subtly added to the low electronic mechanical sound, like a sense of relief...

"Well, Mr. Swarovski, Brother Lan Jian is very good to Clara... He is also gentle and friendly. I, I really want to stay with him like a family..."

Clara hesitated for a moment when she heard the question, then immediately nodded, glanced at Lin Lanjian, lowered her head and answered shyly.

It’s great to be a family with Brother Lan Jian~ But Brother Lan Jian is so gentle and handsome, Clara wants to be Brother Lan Jian’s lover like Sister Seele and Sister Bronya...

As she spoke, she was secretly thinking in her heart, and her fair and delicate face turned red unconsciously.

"I see."

Swarovski retracted his vigilance and looked at the people around Lin Lanjian. "In view of the variables and Clara's request, I will listen to and collect your language organization and analyze and evaluate it."

"Mr. Swarovski, this time we [Underground Fire] come with the same request as before, to lead the lower class people to see the light of day again, and no longer be trapped in the barren and dark underground."

"I hope you can withdraw the many mechas stationed in the core shaft so that the upper and lower areas can flow again."

Natasha nodded to Oleg, who then stood up and made a serious plea.
