Chapter 3886 The Seraph's Majesty is Here!
When Ji Ran returned to her little apartment, she found that Sister Qing and Yuan Yuan were gone, leaving only a note saying goodbye.
Ji Ran was a little confused... She had just come back at noon to change Yuan Yuan's dressing. At that time, she had just woken up and was still very weak.
She quickly turned on her phone and found several unread text messages from Sister Qing.
As a token of my gratitude... and a transfer, marked as "consultation fee," for 20,000 yuan.
For a healer earning a monthly salary of several thousand, this was nothing short of a "huge sum"... Ji Ran, one of the former princesses of the Underworld, felt her heart skip a beat.
She felt that she had fallen... no, she had been assimilated by this little world and had become a vulgar person!
——【Flowers Bloom in All Seasons】: Sister Qing... Yuanyuan's injury hasn't healed yet. Is it convenient for you to leave like this?
But after waiting for a while, Sister Qing still didn't reply to Ji Ran's message... Later, Ji Ran suddenly discovered that the [Sweet Home] chat group, where she often went to collect spellcasting materials, had been disbanded.

Late at night, in the back alley of [If Pavilion], Huang Xiaoyun walked in slowly, seemingly in a daze—her emotions were extremely complicated because she couldn't find Mr. Luo.
After wandering aimlessly through the streets like a ghost for a long time, Huang Xiaoyun finally returned here... The small gift candle can probably only be used once more.
How could Mr. Kolo's office have suddenly disappeared...? Could it be that I've lost my mind, my memory is faulty, and I've gone to the wrong place?
Meow--!
Huang Xiaoyun came to her senses; it was the meowing of stray cats nearby… Usually at this time, she would take out some leftover food from the guests to feed them, but today she had obviously missed the time.
When Huang Xiaoyun arrived at her usual spot to feed the kittens, she found that someone was already feeding several kittens that had gathered nearby.
"Hideaki-kun?"
The one feeding the kittens was none other than the young assistant accompanying the conglomerate... Upon hearing the sound, Hideaki-kun quickly looked up, revealing a shy smile.
"Why are you here?" Huang Xiaoyun moved closer... We should have agreed last time not to meet casually.
"I didn't see you when I came, so I took the liberty of buying some food to feed these little creatures," Xiuming-kun said with a smile. "Young Miss, how have you been lately?"
"What's wrong?" Huang Xiaoyun frowned—to be honest, she was in a bad mood.
Xiuming smiled bitterly and said, "Young Miss, this may be the last time I see you... Because of your disappearance, headquarters plans to recall me and send me to work at the branch office in Kyushu..."
Huang Xiaoyun was stunned for a moment. The Daidoji Group's business spanned across Japan, but transferring this young man from headquarters to Kyushu was tantamount to sealing his future.
"I'm sorry, Hideaki-kun, I've dragged you into this..."
“It’s nothing really.” Hideaki shook his head. “My hometown is over there, and… I’m not really used to life at headquarters. It’s just that after I leave, Miss, you’ll be all alone…”
"When are you leaving?" Huang Xiaoyun interrupted and asked directly.
"tomorrow……"
Then, there was a long silence in the back alley... Huang Xiaoyun silently squatted down on the ground, reaching out to comfort the kitten, and Xiuming could only keep her company without saying a word.
He hesitated several times, wanting to say something, but ultimately lacked the courage to speak, and could only stare blankly at the girl stroking the kitten.
"Hey... Xiuming-kun, after you go back, could you do something for me?" Huang Xiaoyun suddenly said, "Consider it my last request..."
"If there's anything you need me to do, just let me know! I'll do everything I can to help!"
Huang Xiaoyun nodded, came to Xiumingjun's side, and whispered something in his ear... Xiumingjun seemed to stiffen up a lot, and even his forehead started to get wet.
"Remember?"
"I've got it!"
“Arigato, Xiuming-kun…” Huang Xiaoyun said softly, “You are a good person.”
……
"Xiaoyun? It really is you!"
Bob's wife hurriedly pushed open the kitchen door and grabbed Huang Xiaoyun's wrist. "The chef in the kitchen said he heard a noise, and I guessed it was you! You silly child, you've been out for so long... What happened to the things? Didn't you go to buy things?"
Huang Xiaoyun said apologetically, "I'm sorry, ma'am, actually I..."
Bob's wife suddenly interrupted Huang Xiaoyun, "Alright, it's good that you're back. Are you hungry? You've had a long day, and you don't look too good... Come in quickly."
"OK……"

[Qilin City], outskirts...inside a hotel.
In the enormous, palace-like office... Raguel sat somewhat awkwardly opposite the maid.
Hathaway's efficiency... should be considered quite fast, right?
Anyway, Raguel thought the maid would at least ignore him for a while, but to his surprise, she agreed to see him the day after the banquet ended.
"I heard from Hathaway that Metanzor left without permission?" the maid asked calmly.
“Yes, that guy even kidnapped Maria, and there’s also…” Raguel glanced at the calm-looking maid before cautiously adding, “Jeanne…”
The maid's brow furrowed almost imperceptibly before returning to its calm state. "You should know that something of the [Medanzo] level is not easy to find once it deliberately hides its whereabouts."
"That's why I thought of asking you for help." [Raguel] was already prepared to be ripped off, otherwise why would he make this request? "For you, even the most difficult things can be done, right?"
"How do I pay?" the maid asked businesslike.
“Let’s use the small world’s original units,” Raguel said directly… The [Prayers] of [Eden] are only used as a last resort when it comes to paying rent to [Heaven].
"The exact location, ten million; the approximate location, one million... and if it's just a rough direction, three hundred thousand," the maid said calmly.
Raguel's forehead twitched involuntarily, and he said with a wry smile, "You really dare to ask? You really don't care about old times at all..."
"Prices are clearly marked." The maid said expressionlessly, "You know that the services at [the shop] are the best... Which service would you like to choose?"
The maid... [Jeanne] clearly has an attitude of "buy or leave" right now. [Raguel] has a feeling that the other person's mood is not very good at the moment.
I feel like Joan of Arc is a bit too hot-tempered tonight?
"Speaking of which... shouldn't there be a bargaining process?" In front of the assertive maid, [Raguel] subconsciously appeared somewhat timid. "[Heaven] is, after all, your VIP customer, right? We used to be able to bargain..."
“Not anymore.” The maid still had that poker face. “Also, I have to remind you, the past is the past, and the present is the present. My master is the current one… so you should think it over before you come. No, if you've thought it over, just place an order with Hathaway directly.”
—I only left for a very short time…
—That philandering dragon!!
How dare she...
Raguel opened his mouth, never believing that the rift between Heaven and Joan of Arc would be easily bridged… just how much the other disliked him—just look at the present!
But Raguel was clearly unaware of the maid's current state and still thought that she wanted to struggle because she disliked Heaven. So he braced himself and said, "I request to see your master, is that alright?"
The maid's previously indifferent gaze instantly sharpened... a faint black flame even flickered within her deep blue pupils. "You... want to see my master?"
[Raguel] immediately shoved his neck back, "Let's talk this out! No violence!! I'm a customer! You can't just beat up a customer... If you have a problem, take it out on [Michael]! I'm innocent! Do you know how difficult this has been for me? Those guys from [Holy Angels] are always picking fights..."
The maid gave a cold laugh. "Are you sure it wasn't those orthodox angels who provoked us?"
Raguel said seriously, "I have already reprimanded them... In fact, if it weren't for my insistence, the Holy Angels wouldn't have been able to go out this time... Of course, it was they who asked me to come here."
The maid sighed softly, "Try not to contact my master right now... He's busy. Also, the price for the search service is fixed; there's no room for negotiation. After all... didn't that person already send a discount card to [Heaven]?"
"Huh?" [Raguel] blinked subconsciously. "Oh right, we have discount cards! Wait, that scumbag [Michael] didn't give me one!"
"That's not my responsibility," the maid waved her hand. "That's fine. Think it over before you come back."
[Raguel] quickly checked the balance of his personal savings account, and after getting a sense of it, nodded and said, "Well... since we're already here, aren't you going to see them? They know the orthodox angels won't give us a friendly look the whole way, but they've still endured it all, just so they can see them..."
"That's their business," the maid said expressionlessly. "I've never asked for anything... Is there anything else?"
“No…that’s all.” [Raguel] shrank back again. The atmosphere in the office was really tense right now. “Well, I’ll choose the one million one…I just need to know the general location.”
Ten million is out of the question. Maintaining the angelic legion of [Heaven] requires a constant stream of resources... [Michael] is so stingy that he'd rather split a small world's primordial unit in half.
—The supplies for my era are still in arrears!
……
After leaving the office, Raguel immediately saw Hathaway—she was accompanied by a female assistant named Prayer.
The young assistant was holding a small tray with an envelope on it.
“Lord Raguel, here is the intelligence information you requested. Please keep it safe,” Hathaway said respectfully.
Raguel's brow twitched slightly again—he had spent several hundred thousand before leaving, good heavens, he got the intelligence as soon as he stepped out.
To be honest, the service at this store is truly top-notch.
"You could easily make this thing with just one idea, yet you charge so much. You make money faster than robbing the Void Bank."
[Raguel] muttered to himself as he picked up the envelope from the tray.
Hathaway would obviously pretend she hadn't heard his rant—she wouldn't tell Raguel that Miss Yuya actually held shares in Void Bank behind the scenes... just not a large one.
“[Raguel], we shall take our leave now,” Hathaway said respectfully. “Also, a guest has requested a meeting with you and is currently in the meeting room on the sixth floor of the hotel. Would you like to see him/her?”
"Who is it?" [Raguel] paused for a moment.
"The other party is Lord Odin, the ruler of Asgard," Hathaway said solemnly.
"Asgard?" Raguel frowned, pondered for a moment, then nodded. "Lead the way."
……
Asgard, the realm of gods, serves as a buffer zone between the three great powers of the Void on the mythological side... and is even closer to the sphere of influence of Heaven. Raguel is naturally no stranger to Asgard.
However, that's about it. While the buffer zone is necessary, it's not indispensable to the Asgardian realm... There are too many other realms within the buffer zone that can be rightfully established.
Do you even know what a suzerain state is?!
[Heaven], the majesty of the Seraphim is brought out!
"Your radiance shines like an eternal star. It is a pleasure to have you come to see me, Lord Raguel!" The god-king Odin immediately rose to his feet.
"Hmm." [Raguel] responded lightly, "I heard you wanted to see me. I still have some time, so please speak quickly. Don't talk about trivial matters."
The god-king Odin looked slightly flustered. "Lord Raguel, it's just a coincidence that we meet here. I have two things I'd like to discuss with you... Perhaps we could sit down first?"
Looking at the things on the table in the reception room, Raguel knew that this guy must have spent a lot of money to open this reception room, which showed his sincerity.
"Say something quickly."
"Yes, yes, yes..." God-King Odin composed himself. "First, there's the issue of the offerings from this Void Era of the Divine Realm..."
"What's wrong with the offering?" Raguel raised an eyebrow slightly. "It shouldn't be time yet, right? How come your Divine Realm is ready so quickly? You're quite efficient!"
"...Lord Raguel, what I mean is, could the amount of this offering be reduced?" The god-king Odin looked cautiously into Raguel's eyes.
"Hmm?" Raguel's gaze narrowed slightly, and he once again unleashed the divine power of a high-ranking seraph. "What did you say? I didn't hear you clearly. Say it again."
"What I mean is... the part owed this time will be made up all at once next time..." God-King [Odin] said with a bitter smile, "In this Void Era, my divine realm has encountered some problems... the harvest is not very good. If all the [offerings] are prepared, my divine realm may... may have no choice but to perish on its own."
"Hey, I thought it was something serious, but it's just like this!" [Raguel] slapped his thigh. "This is simple, easy to handle!"
The god-king Odin was overjoyed. "This humble god thanks Lord Raguel for his leniency. My gratitude is beyond words. I can only..."
Raguel interrupted, saying, "Asgard is gone, so be it. There are plenty of buffer zones... As long as you pay enough, Heaven will still protect you. Trust me!"
When he sees the maid, Raguel is timid and hesitant, but when he faces the god-king Odin, he attacks with full force!
"..."
—Damn it, robber!
