Chapter 003: Seizing the Divine Essence

“Hmph, I knew it. You’re divine, I’m not, so that’s why you look down on me,” Du Fan said with a cold face, suppressing a smile.
“That’s not true! How could that be?” Rob began to panic.
“How about this? To show your sincerity, could you give me something?” Du Fan suddenly said with a smile.
“Sure, sure! Just tell me what it is, and I’ll definitely give it to you,” Rob replied eagerly.
“Actually, it’s a very simple thing for you. Didn’t you swallow Geermu? I wonder if you’ve digested it yet?” Du Fan asked.
“A few hours have passed; it should be mostly digested. Is it related to that Geermu?” Rob asked curiously.
“Feel inside your stomach now—is there some strange thing you can’t digest? Use your divine power to check your intestines,” Du Fan continued.
Hearing this, Rob quickly used his divine power to check, and indeed, there was a strange crystal in his intestines that he couldn’t digest at all.
“It seems there is indeed a strange thing,” Rob said, frowning.
It would be frustrating for anyone to have a strange, indigestible object in their stomach.
“Just give that thing to me, and I’ll accept your sincerity,” Du Fan said with a smile.
Hearing this, Rob gave a strange laugh.
“What are you laughing at?” Du Fan asked immediately upon seeing his reaction.
“Du Fan, as you know, that thing has already mixed with my feces. But I won’t let such a thing come out of my mouth again. So, if you want it, there’s only one way—wait until I excrete it,” Rob said.
Hearing this, Du Fan felt a chill!
Could it be that he’d have to dig out the Dark Demon Tiger’s excrement?
“Rob, didn’t you check if Geermu had any treasures when you swallowed him?” Du Fan said frustratedly.
“How could I not check?” Rob flipped his hand, and a ring appeared in his palm.
“Then since you checked, didn’t you notice that there was a divine essence fused in Geermu’s head?” Du Fan said angrily upon seeing the ring.

“A divine essence? It’s in his head. I had to consume his brain to sense it,” Rob said, shaking his head.
“I say, Du Fan, for the sake of a divine essence, it’s worth going through my feces—after all, it’s a divine essence!” Rob suddenly burst into laughter.
“Oh, and Du Fan, don’t worry. I won’t fight you over that divine essence. Once it leaves my possession, no matter how good it is, I won’t keep it,” Rob said with a smile.
“Then remember to tell me in advance when you need to excrete it,” Du Fan said.
“Du Fan, really? You want to go through my feces?” Rob stared at Du Fan, winking.
“Damn it! Rob, what are you thinking? I’m the lord here. With so many subordinates, it’s not my turn even if I wanted to go through your feces,” Du Fan said, looking at Rob with disdain.
“Don’t worry. If I need to excrete, I’ll definitely tell you,” Rob said, suddenly wearing a strange smile. “How about this, Du Fan? Take me to see your clothes instead.”
“Come with me,” Du Fan said, waving his hand to make Rob follow him.
As the lord of the Siluo Province, Du Fan had a dedicated wardrobe. Of course, he didn’t have to pick clothes for Rob himself. He assigned someone in charge of managing the wardrobe, and those two servants took Rob to choose clothes from it.
It was only then that Du Fan returned to his own room.
After entering the room, Du Fan realized he had built another house behind his bedroom in the Siluo Province. This house was connected to his current bedroom by a door.
When he pushed open that door, Du Fan was stunned. The inside of that house was exactly like his bedroom in the Green family!
Seeing this, Du Fan’s eyes moistened.
It must have been his elder brother who did this. He must have built a house identical to his old bedroom behind it, fearing Du Fan would miss home. Even the furniture and decorations were exactly the same.
But after a closer look, Du Fan found that aside from a few items, everything else was a replica—yet the imitation was astonishingly accurate!
“Du Fan, is this your home?” Nai Xiu followed Du Fan into the bedroom, asking as they walked.
“Sort of. It’s my second home,” Du Fan said, looking at everything around him with a hint of melancholy.

“Do you still have a first home?” Naixiu asked in confusion.
“Yes, I grew up in the Imperial Capital. My father and mother are there,” Du Fan replied.
“Then, Du Fan, when will you take me to meet your father and mother?” Naixiu asked eagerly upon hearing his words.
Hearing Naixiu’s question, Du Fan naturally understood that she wanted to know if they would get married.
“Are you in such a hurry?” Du Fan asked with a smile.
“Originally, I planned to find out where my parents were before considering marriage to you. But after the reminder from Elder Li Luo, I realized that now I represent the entire elf race. So I can’t just be with you without clarity. Otherwise, I think my people will have objections,” Naixiu said seriously.
“Alright. Once your people and the Black Panther Knights arrive, we’ll head to the Imperial Capital and hold our wedding,” Du Fan replied after thinking for a moment, nodding firmly.
Naixiu was now the ruler of the elf race, possessing the strength of a realm master, wearing an elf set, and having the ability to even slay gods. From any perspective, she was superior to Du Fan. Coupled with Du Fan being human, it was more than enough.
Among humans, perhaps only the Pope of the Holy Land could, in name, stand equal to the ruler of the elf race!
After all, behind Naixiu stood a wise race! Logically, only the ruler of all humans could stand equal to her, but no such ruler had yet appeared among humans. Only that Pope barely had some qualifications.
“Lord, Lord George says that to welcome your safe return, a ball will be held tonight. Please arrive at eight o’clock on time,” a servant reported from outside right after Du Fan agreed to return to the Imperial Capital for their wedding.
“Okay, I know. I’ll be there at eight o’clock,” Du Fan replied.
“Lord, this time, Lord George is inviting everyone in your name, so he says you need to arrive earlier,” the servant added.
“Alright, I’ll be there at seven thirty,” Du Fan replied again.
As the servant left, Du Fan wore a helpless smile on his face.

“Du Fan, what’s wrong? Don’t you like it?” Naixiu asked anxiously upon seeing Du Fengna in that state.
“Oh, it’s not that. It’s just that organizing a ball like this—when would the eldest brother do such a thing? It seems like a rather troublesome affair!” Du Fan said with a smile.
At 7:30, Du Fan arrived on time in the hall. Although the hall of the city lord’s residence wasn’t extremely luxurious, it was already quite good for a place like the Siluo Province.
George’s invitations this time naturally included people related to Du Fan. All the important officials from the Siluo Province in Doha City were invited, as well as key military generals. Additionally, the heads of major trading companies in Doha City were also invited.
One obvious trait among these people was that none of them were of noble origin. Even if they were nobles, they were either minor nobles or those from declining noble families. So, overall, this ball resembled more of a gathering.
As for Naixiu and Chenchen, Du Fan arranged for them to stay at home—firstly because they were tired, and secondly because neither of them was interested in such a ball.
But Rob appeared suddenly while Du Fan was talking with the head of a trading company. Dressed in a light green robe with gold trim, he looked quite impressive!
Of course! With such an aura, his appearance couldn’t possibly be bad. What was more valuable was that Rob’s identity as a Dark Demon Tiger gave him an air of ferocity, and as a wind-type magical beast, he also had a touch of elegance.
In short, Rob looked like a very carefree and strong man!
As soon as Rob appeared, he rushed straight up to Du Fan. “Du Fan, look at my clothes. They’re not bad, right?” Clearly, Rob was very satisfied with his appearance; otherwise, he wouldn’t have shown off like this in front of Du Fan.
“Mm, not bad at all. I’ve said it before—people are judged by their clothes, and Buddhas by their gold ornaments. Just look, with such clothes, you instantly look different,” Du Fan said with a smile.
The girls nearby, especially those who weren’t married, showed bright excitement in their eyes when they saw Rob.
Firstly, Rob suddenly appeared and called Du Fan by his name, which proved that this man was no ordinary person. Otherwise, he would have at least greeted him as “Lord” or “Duke Du Fan”.

The following year, after Rob changed out of those strange green clothes, he became quite handsome, and moreover, he was the kind of mature, ruggedly handsome man—exactly the type that would appeal to married women. Sure enough, soon a seductive noblewoman approached Rob. “Sir, I don’t seem to have seen you around Doha before.” The noblewoman came over and started chatting with Rob right away. “Oh, I just arrived,” Rob replied straightforwardly when he saw such a seductive woman. Hearing this, the woman pursed her lips. Du Fan naturally recognized this noblewoman—this Lady Dori was originally the wife of a viscount. Unfortunately, the viscount died early, and his family had few members. As a result, without any restraints after his death, she became extremely promiscuous.
