Diary of Guarding Monster Girls

Chapter 968: Chapter 472: Thank You for Your Sacrifice (6K, Bonus Chapter 261)_3

Even stranger than a dream!

Where had this wandering group ever seen such a magical unfolding?

First, the Divine descended upon Kathy, then the Divine easily subdued the terrifying giant Tree Man, and finally, they jumped into the water and reached another place.

Even among the various legendary stories passed down within the clan, none were as bizarre as this.

"Fortunately, they’re still quite obedient."

"They haven’t resisted the arrangements, nor have they complained about the simplicity of their dwelling, but it’s obvious that they’re all very restrained, exuding discomfort everywhere, feeling like their spirits could collapse any moment."

Herbert gently smiled and softly said, "After all, they’ve just escaped danger and haven’t reacted yet. It’s perfectly normal they’re not adjusted right away."

"After a while, when they adapt, they’ll naturally understand that this place is safe and it’s their new home."

"For the future of the Beast Ear Clan, Lady of the Forest shouldn’t worry at all, Elda will provide them shelter."

"Of course, if you still feel uneasy, you can find time to discuss it with me face-to-face."

Herbert spoke so much, but the last sentence was the key point.

He had already perfectly solved the problem, over-completed the task, it was time to ask the wealthy lady client for the final payment.

Woman, time to pay up.

Although she had already given Herbert three rather precious leaves, Herbert thought he could still try harder.

What if he could squeeze out a bit more?

After all, she’s nominally the acting Main God of the Natural Pantheon, having a vast business empire, surely she’s not short on the little money he needs.

Rich lady, hungry, food.

Someone once said, a great man should not be corrupted by wealth, not moved by poverty, not bent by power.

Herbert thought he was right.

However, when he could get money from the rich lady, Herbert had always been very adaptable.

He had a very flexible moral baseline.

Stop talking nonsense; get the money first, then talk about ideals and beliefs.

Herbert contemplated how to start the conversation when he met Fulingya, while Hecayas gradually felt sleepier under his unconscious stroking.

"Oh, alright, I will... tell her, I..."

He yawned greatly and simply closed his eyes.

Unfortunately, before Herbert could peel open the little kitty’s eyes and say "Hecayas is still awake," the icy incarnation silently shattered.

Those who knew it would think he was asleep.

Those who didn’t might think he was gone.

!!?

Herbert widened his eyes, his clear gaze resembling a helpless raccoon washing cotton candy in water.

Why did you suddenly act like this!!!

"Ah!"

Witnessing this tragedy, Miss Xie Shen immediately lamented: ["Look at what you’ve done? You’ve stroked him to death!"]

"No—it’s not like that!"

["It’s all your fault!"]

"I didn’t!"

The two performed their little drama for a while and then simultaneously fell silent, instantly returning to calm.

Then, a petite figure jumped out from the shadow beneath him, landing lightly on his shoulder to sit.

The figurine Nenasha leisurely sat on his shoulder, casually swinging her bare slender feet back and forth, stretching lazily with a mischievous smile.

Herbert glanced sideways at her without saying anything, turned back his head while restraining his expression, wearing a faint smile, and quietly walking in the mist.

In his silent walk, the mist reacted; one phantom after another drilled into the shadow behind him.

One, ten, a hundred, a thousand...

In just a few breaths, thousands of Mist Ghost Wolves were following Herbert.

Mist Ghost Wolves are group demons, accustomed to following the strongest Wolf King.

The stronger the Wolf King, the stronger their performance.

When Herbert was absent, they were led by the appointed Wolf King Aite.

But when he returned, these voluntarily followed the true "Wolf King" behind.

Although Herbert now no longer needed them to provide protection, he didn’t resist their following.

After Herbert obtained the "Holy Maiden Statue," he had almost set foot in the domain of the Divine, possessing divine perception.

Now he could feel the Power of Faith.

With this ability, Herbert could clearly know these subjects’ "loyalty level" by the amount of faith.

The newly saved Beast Ear Clan was still confused, having general faith in him but no deep conviction.

To his surprise, those Priestess girls also had some faith in him—weren’t they devotees of the little kitty?

Are you traitors or what?

Well, not all. Among them, there was one special girl who didn’t hold loyalty but rather harbored a strange emotion that puzzled Herbert.

The girl, whom he had long discovered to be a Divine Favorer, looked at him with such... motherly love!

Especially when he led the Beast Ear Clan to Elda, her gaze went from surprise to understanding, and finally to satisfaction.

No, little sister, what is that look!!?

Why does it feel like you’re seeing your child succeed... Are you my mother?

Herbert didn’t understand but didn’t actively expose it; he planned to observe this overzealous motherly girl further.

Besides the already fanatical Miss Centaur, the most loyal ones to him were actually this group of Mist Ghost Wolves!
