lol: After being blessed by the Happy Demon, I became the harem king

"I knew you'd pay attention to that. Hmph, after all, it's probably the most objective statement you've ever heard in all of Zaun—at least for you."

Upon hearing this, Hilk ignored Jinx's teasing and fell into a brief silence.

Hilko was skeptical of Fane's claim to be a prophet—otherwise, it might be one thing, but in Zaun, a lawless and chaotic place, there were far too many charlatans like him. Not only ordinary people, but even some alchemists were acting strangely, as if they were under the influence of some kind of superstitious belief.

And indeed, that was the case. In Hilko's recollection, a considerable number of alchemists were also enthusiasts of glimmers of light. They believed that glimmers of light could broaden their senses and vision. And after becoming deeply engrossed, they often just spouted meaningless academic jargon. Dull, boring, and utterly devoid of any substance.

But the problem is...

"Was he really saying these things while he was of sound mind?"

“Probably,” Jinx said, fiddling with her nails. “Although he can create those inexplicable happiness factors, I’ve tried them. Those so-called happiness factors don’t have the ability to distort thought. The so-called feeling of happiness is just feeling an intrusive craving, the true self. Also, is what he said about your past with Vander true?”

Jinx looked at Hilko. Hilko nodded and said, "It's true."

Upon hearing this, Jinx pursed her lips, seemingly realizing something, and fell silent for a long time.

Before, when things were uncertain, Jinx could control herself and not overthink it. But now, with Hielko's confirmation, Jinx inevitably started having many associations...

In the past, Hilk might have tried to explain things to Jinx or help her process her emotions. But now, Hilk's energy was completely focused on Fane—the future Fane described was far too tempting for Hilk. Just thinking about it made Hilk feel that Zaun was a complete mess... well, no need to feel, because that's the truth.

"The conflict between the 'greater good' and the 'smaller good,' the alienation of the logic of power, the tragedy of the historical cycle... and then, I became Vander."

Sitting behind the desk, Hilko remained silent, but her eyes were filled with a trembling emotion.

"He didn't say everything, just like he didn't write everything he knew on the flyer." After a long silence, Hilko opened her eyes: "Make arrangements, Jinx, I need to meet with him... Also, the girl next to her is indeed called 'Zeli,' right?"

Upon hearing Hilk's question, Jinx nodded listlessly.

"What? Do you know him?"

"I don't know her, but I know her mother."

Thinking of the woman who was so strong that she could even overpower an alchemical beast, Hilko shook his head: "Only that guy could raise such an innocent girl like Zeli in an environment like Zaun... She's really lucky to have met such a trustworthy person as soon as she arrived in Zaun."

Meanwhile, Sevika simply watched Hilk and Jinx quietly from the side.

Although nominally under Shirek's command, Sevika actually commanded his own men and held considerable prestige among Shirek's followers. Shirek, hampered by his physical condition, couldn't personally lead the charge, and in Zaun... or rather, in Runeterra, a world that reveres heroes, those who led the charge often gained immense prestige. Even if victory was due to the commander's brilliant strategy, the hero who slayed the enemy general and captured their flag would receive a grand welcome.

This is a common human trait; when we are in trouble, we always yearn for someone to save us. It is an authoritarianism and hero worship buried deep in human genes.

However, despite being under Hilko's command, Sevika did not idolize Hilko.

Born into the lowest rungs of Zaun, Sevika knew better than anyone how harsh the environment was and how difficult survival was for its people. Sevika was also well aware of his own shortcomings and limited intelligence. It was precisely because of this that Sevika chose to join Hilkor's army and help Hilkor change Zaun…

But as it turns out, given the objective gap between Zaun and Piltover, neither compromise nor a hardline stance yields the same result... or even worse.

However, before this, no one in Zaun could come up with a better governance plan than Hilcor... Hilcor might have meant well but ended up doing more harm than good, but at least he was still struggling to prevent Zaun from becoming Piltover's backyard. But those alchemist barons, given the chance to become new trading nobles, would ruthlessly abandon Zaun.

but now……

Sevier glanced at Hielco, who was deep in thought, and then at Jinx, whose expression was unpredictable and who knew what kind of trouble she was about to cause. He felt that it was too risky to place the future of Zaun on this father and daughter.

Thinking this, Sevika, who was standing next to him, simply said, "I'll go find him."

"Hmm?" Hilk and Jax turned their gaze to Sevika. Sevika, however, remained calm and said:

“Jinx is too unstable, and your identity is too sensitive. I'll go to the neighborhood where they're hiding and arrange a meeting place... I know where they are.”

25. Strengthening the Level of Life

The next morning, as she opened her eyes from a daze, her large, sleepy eyes stared blankly at the embrace so close to her. Realizing what had happened the night before, Zeli couldn't help but let a beautiful smile curve her lips slightly.

With the slightest movement, Zeli felt the swelling and pain coming from the small mouth below, and she couldn't help but tremble slightly, letting out a low moan involuntarily.

Another movement, and a hard, hot, satisfying sensation came from her buttocks. Looking down, the girl's eyes showed a hint of surprise when she saw that the two were still joined together.

"Awake?" At this moment, Fain had also woken up and moved his body to loosen the fixing bolts. During the process, Zeli couldn't help but let out a beautiful moan. With a pop, the hard rod was removed. Without the rod's fixation, her anus, which had been secured overnight, began to flow with a fresh, milky-white liquid. This caused Zeli to gasp in surprise, and she hurriedly used her hand to block the flow, preventing the fluid from leaking out.

Feeling the milk, still fresh even after a night's rest, Zeli, still half-asleep, was particularly dazed. Her little mouth peeked out as she moved, and Zeli instinctively reached out and gently touched it with her finger. Then, bringing it to her face, watching the vibrant life flowing from her fingertip, the girl instinctively put her finger in her mouth. After tasting it, she seemed to remember something, and her body temperature rose as she stared blankly, looking incredibly cute with her sleepy, dazed expression.

"What are you doing?" Farn asked with a smile.

Hearing Fan's words, Zeli was slightly startled, but remembering that they were already the closest lovers in the world, she quickly relaxed and glared at Fan angrily: "Who do you think made me like this? Bad Fan, stinky Fan!"

As she spoke, Zeli glanced down at the steaming, freshly baked baguette, her cheeks slightly flushed. Then, she clenched her swollen breasts, bent down, tucked her light green, shoulder-length hair behind her ear, and said while nibbling on it, "I'm going to eat breakfast!"

Seeing this, Farn wasn't in a hurry. Instead, he leaned back on the bed, contemplating the day's schedule while enjoying Zeli's breakfast. A large hand swept and stroked the girl's head, the pleasure factor enhancing the healing process, but the revitalized flesh also brought a strange sensation during the healing process. What was initially swollen and painful had turned into itching as the treatment continued.

In the end, each stroke of his large hands would cause the girl's body to tremble slightly, and the dazed look in her moist eyes would deepen.

After a moment, he felt something, but Farn wasn't in a hurry. Instead, he patted the girl's back first. Perhaps because she had crossed the final step? So this time, Zeli quickly realized what Farn wanted to say. She immediately stopped eating and instead sat obediently on the bed with her little face up, mouth open, and arms outstretched on either side of her cheeks to prevent splashing or leaking, like a well-behaved little teapot.

Standing up, Faen let Zeli taste the fresher milk. After eating it little by little, scraping the remaining bits from her cheeks into her mouth, Zeli, feeling increasingly hot, looked at Faen beside her. Faen gently smiled, picked Zeli up, and tossed her onto the bed.

And what about Zeli?

Zeli was too lazy to resist anymore. She just lay on the bed, using her fingers to spread open her vaginal opening, her eyes half helpless and half longing. Although her expression was somewhat helpless, her little mouth below was much more honest, opening and closing as if calling for Fan to hurry up and have fun.

When a beauty makes a request, Faen is never in a hurry. The small flower room was immediately blocked off again, and the poor girl only symbolically endured it for a couple of moments before enjoying the ultimate pleasure that surged through her body like a tide, her eyes filled with seductive allure.

An hour later, Zeli and Fain finally emerged from the bedroom. However, to conceal the marks on her stomach, Zeli put on a slightly oversized coat to cover them up.

Previously, the bulge was mainly in the stomach and intestines, but this time it was more pronounced in the lower abdomen.

"No matter how many times it's happened, I still want to complain. Are you some kind of super-sized animal? I read in a book that a normal person's volume is only a few milliliters, right? Why does it feel like you're pouring in kilograms at a time?!"

Hearing Zeli's complaints and grumbles, Fain shrugged: "Because I am a semi-spiritual being, my replenishment speed is faster than that of ordinary people. Especially since we generate a lot of happiness when we are intimate, this emotion will directly enhance my recovery and endurance."

As he said this, Faen said helplessly, "Besides, how can it be several kilograms? At most, it's only a few hundred milliliters at a time. It's just that the recovery is fast and there will be many times."

“That’s outrageous…” Zeli muttered, then fell into a brief silence. After a moment, her cheeks flushed slightly as she fiddled with her fingers and said, “You’ve said so much, shouldn’t we start thinking about having a baby?”

Farn: "This may have to wait a while longer."

"Huh? Why?" Zeli asked, puzzled. "Don't you want to see your amount? So much! It'll practically marinate the baby's room! It could easily lead to pregnancy!"

In response, Farn continued to explain helplessly: "Because I am a semi-spiritual being, although there are no issues of difficult childbirth or reproductive isolation... your body is too weak and may not be able to bear the energy consumption required to nurture such a semi-spiritual being."

As he spoke, Faen rubbed Zeli's lower abdomen and explained under the girl's slightly nervous gaze, "But you don't need to worry, because the life essence in it will slowly strengthen your body and organs."

"Oh! I see!" Upon hearing this, Zeli relaxed a bit, then said with a sudden realization, "So that's why I don't feel anything after last night's intense activity, and even have inexhaustible energy. It turns out it's because of this... So that means I'm actually slowly absorbing what's inside?"

“Yes.” Farn nodded and said, “A comprehensive enhancement from mental strength to physical strength… well, it’s more like regeneration than enhancement? Anyway, once your life level has risen to a level not much different from mine, that will be fine.”

"That's good then." Zeli wasn't interested in whether it was enhancement or regeneration; she just rubbed her little belly again, hoping it would absorb the nutrients faster. "I don't know how to be a mother yet, and we have a lot of things to do."

Relaxing, Zeli quickly regained her spirits and looked at Fain with a bright and energetic expression, saying, "Then we'd better change Zaun quickly! I don't want our little baby to grow up in such a terrible environment!"

“Of course~” Faen nodded in agreement, then patted Zeli’s little head and said, “It looks like Zeli will definitely be a good mother.”

"Hmph, do you even need to tell me that?!" Zeli shook her head, shook off Faen's large hand, and immediately clenched her little fist: "Of course I will be the best mother! Just like my mother, I will protect my baby well!"

After breakfast, the two rested for a while. There wasn't much to deal with—Faen didn't have much desire for power, so he left most things to Shuona. Faen usually just glanced at things like the organizational structure, and if he determined that a person's personality wasn't too problematic, or that they seemed relatively normal in their mental state, he wouldn't impose too many restrictions.

There's no need to worry about internal corruption—while the spiritual realm doesn't allow Farn to directly perceive people's thoughts, it can determine their general inclinations through their reflections. Those harboring malice or having committed evil deeds will attract the attention of many evil spirits in their spiritual reflections. Based on this simple deduction, Farn can maintain the organization's purity at all times.

This is also one of the advantages of the extraordinary world: Fane can directly judge a person's reliability from the level of their soul and spirit. Furthermore, even if an organization does deviate from its course, Fane has enough confidence to destroy it and then rebuild it.

After a brief inspection, Faen informed Shuona that several individuals with ulterior motives were lurking within the organization. Shuona responded that she would investigate and keep an eye on them, so Faen didn't interfere further—Shuona's character was quite reliable. Just like Zeli, in a place like Zaun where everyone was a villain, her reflection in the spiritual realm radiated warmth and light like a flame, making her a very trustworthy person.

Well, how could a mother be so bad at raising a sunny, positive, cheerful, and public-spirited girl like Zeli?

The organization's most pressing task right now is to demand that the Alchemist Barons provide guarantees regarding a minimum hourly wage, working hours, and workplace safety. The details are still being verified and are expected to reach the Alchemist Barons within the next couple of days. The reason for waiting two more days, besides confirming accurate data, is also to await news from Hilko.

With the Alchemist King betraying information about the Alchemist Baron's side, Fain began to consider whether he could eradicate them all with a faster and more drastic approach... The Alchemist Baron's power was immense, with interests entangled in the upper and lower cities, affecting countless people. And like a centipede that dies but doesn't fall, or is severed but doesn't collapse, Fain didn't intend to waste time playing political games with them—it was something they were good at. Once the organizational structure was more or less in place and he could smoothly take over Zaun, he would get a list from Hilcora.

Then they'll understand what it means for the damn philosopher king to come and kill your whole family.

Having confirmed that the organization as a whole was still positive and upright, Fain took Zeli back to the bedroom to indulge in their debauched and licentious acts.

Although Faen adhered to the basic principle of mutual consent, to be honest, after living with Zeli for so long, Faen had repeatedly reminded himself not to cross the line. Now that Zeli had taken the final step, Faen no longer needed to restrain himself. At first, Zeli enjoyed it, but in the end, even with her enhanced pleasure factor, Zeli couldn't resist and begged him.

This forced Fain to spend some time recovering from his swollen lips and abraded legs.

As evening approached and the concert was about to begin, Zeli managed to tidy herself up.

After resting for a while, the abundant energy provided by the happiness factor quickly revived Zeli's spirits. Even so, touching her little belly, Zeli still glanced speechlessly at Faen beside her.

"You really are an animal, aren't you? I feel like I'm turning into a puddle of mud..." As she spoke, Zeli sat down in Faen's lap. Feeling the divine power between her buttocks from behind, she wasn't too nervous. She just hummed and said, "No, we have to go to the concert!"

"An'an, I know."

As he spoke, Faen placed his hand on Zeli's lower abdomen. With the activation of the happy factor and water control ability, Zeli's metabolic rate gradually accelerated under the influence of the happy factor, and the concentrated milk of the happy factor in her body also began to be activated. Excess nutrients were quickly absorbed, and the redness and swelling subsided rapidly within minutes.

While this rapid digestion ability allows Zeli to quickly absorb happiness factors, the enhancing effect gradually weakens as more and more are absorbed due to diminishing marginal returns.

To be honest, it's a bit of a waste. But there's no other way; holding back for so long and only ever taking a small step each time is just too torturous. Since I finally have the chance, of course I'm going to go all out.

It was tough on Zeli; she was exhausted, and in the end, Faen only felt slightly better.

Once the excess nutrients had reduced the swelling, Farn stopped activating the energy and said, "There's still some left. Let's absorb the rest slowly. This way, we can use it as emergency energy when we encounter battles."

"Does that mean every battle will involve your filth? You really are a bad guy." Zelena stuck out her tongue at Fain, not really caring. She actually quite liked this feeling—that feeling of being warm all over even when soaking in cold water, a feeling of inexhaustible energy.

The only problem is that I become more sensitive to Faen, and even unable to refuse Faen's suggestions and requests, which makes me unknowingly agree to Faen's shameful ways of playing...

But upon closer reflection, Zeli felt that it didn't seem like much, after all, Faen's appearance had really helped her a lot.

Thinking this, Zeli lowered her head, poked the tip of the baguette, and took a small bite. Feeling the surging heat inside, she said helplessly, "You have so much energy, it's like you can't keep up with me. Sometimes I even start to doubt whether my charm is working."

"It's alright, anyway, it's already improved a lot today, so we can't force it," Farn said as he put on his clothes.

Upon hearing Faen's words, Zeli blinked but didn't say anything more. She just stared at the Tongliao map that Faen was still engrossed in, seemingly lost in thought.

After packing their belongings, the two took the elevator to the top floor of Zaun and headed to the bottom floor of Piltover, the 'Mid-Level Plaza'.

When they arrived, the mid-level plaza was already packed with people.

26. The Blue Demon Attacks the Concert?

"So, the first thing I did after coming here was to work as a security guard at some damn concert?!"

Wearing an auxiliary officer's uniform, Vi, who had just been released from prison, looked at Caitlin with an impatient expression.

Upon hearing Vi's words, Caitlin shrugged and said:

"You know how sensitive your position is. Your paperwork is still being processed; you shouldn't be out for at least two months. The fact that you're standing here is all thanks to my mother pulling strings. First, accumulate some achievements, demonstrate your stance, and make your resume look impressive. That way, you can go from being an assistant officer to a law enforcement officer."

As she said this, Caitlin casually tapped the 'auxiliary police' badge on Vi's chest with her finger.

Upon hearing Caitlin's words, Wei scratched her head in confusion and bewilderment.

Shortly after Hilk took power from Vandal, Vi was arrested by Piltover for stealing Hextech Crystals. She was initially sentenced to immediate execution, but it was later revealed that she was the daughter of the former King of Zaun, or rather, the leader of Zaun, Vandal, which led to her being given a life sentence.

Now that Caitlyn has suddenly rescued her, Vi is completely clueless about the current situation in Zaun and Piltover.

Especially since her current identity is that of an auxiliary police officer, facing a rich young lady with a relaxed face who looks like she has a lot of experience, Vi is still inexplicably at a disadvantage psychologically, even though she has bigger muscles. However, after realizing this, Vi hummed twice in dissatisfaction, and then muttered to herself, "Who cares about being a Piltover cop... I'm just giving you face."

"Alright, alright, I'll do you a favor~ my dear scoundrel partner~"

Caitlin gave Vi a teasing look, which inexplicably annoyed Vi. However, considering that she was indeed able to get out thanks to Caitlin's help, Vi didn't say anything, just crossed her arms and looked unhappy.

Seeing Wei angry and upset, but holding back her anger because she considered herself a "good person" and "benefactor" to Wei, Caitlin found it inexplicably amusing.

No, it shouldn't be said to be funny, it should be said to be interesting.

Because this world isn't purely based on the Battle of the Two Cities universe, and even Caitlyn's mother isn't the head of House Jiraman, but rather one of the three auditors, Caitlyn grew up in the treacherous environment of trading families. In this context, a girl as honest, straightforward, and unpretentious as Vi is truly a first.

Especially after Caitlin had some catching up on what had happened during this time, having taken Vi from the Cleanwater Prison to the Gilaman family's residence, she easily discovered that beneath Vi's seemingly strong and resilient exterior, she was actually quite soft-hearted.

It wasn't exactly bullying; Caitlin just felt very relaxed communicating with such straightforward and honest people, especially since their interests were aligned now.

Thinking about it, Caitlin, who was standing next to her, said, "This concert may look ordinary, but there are quite a few people attending. Your sister might be among them..."

“She’s not my sister!” Wei said with some dissatisfaction. Although she said that, Caitlin, who came from a prestigious trading family and was familiar with the intrigue among the upper-class elites, saw through the insincerity in Wei’s eyes with just one glance.

Without any hesitation, Caitlin simply said:

"Okay, okay, Jinx. Maybe Jinx will show up too. That guy has used his familiarity with all the hidden channels in Zaun to help Hilko smuggle a lot of Glimmers to the upper city. He has become a thorn in the side of many Hextech crystal trading families. They all want to use Jinx as a warning to others and cut off one of Hilko's arms."

"Whether for the future of the two cities or for Jinx's personal sake, capturing her first will at least ensure that she is imprisoned alive in Cleanwater Prison, rather than being killed."

“…Oh.” Although she said she didn’t care at all, a flicker of emotion still flashed in Vi’s eyes when she heard the others wanting to use Jinx’s death as a warning to others.

But then, Vi said with a look of annoyance, "Damn... Jinx is actually working for Hield. I'm going to give her a good talking to when I catch her. Damn it, why..."

Seemingly realizing she had said too much, Wei fell silent before she could finish speaking. She then exhaled a breath of stale air, stood there impatiently, arms crossed, scanning the crowd below.

Just then, Wei suddenly noticed someone staring at her with great interest. Even though they were quite far apart, she still felt inexplicably annoyed. She then said to Caitlin beside her, "Who's that guy? Why is he staring at us?"

Upon hearing this, Caitlin glanced through her binoculars at the muscular, tall figure below and the girl with the bright green braids. After briefly recalling the scene and confirming that she didn't recall any related wanted posters, she said, "I don't know. They look like a couple? But the guy is wearing Ionian-style clothes, and he seems to be in good physical condition. Maybe he's a tourist from somewhere else? What? Is something wrong?"

“No… not really.” Shaking her head, Wei said, “It’s just that that guy’s eyes looked a little strange…”
