Chapter 237: Take off all 236 heads for her.
“You’re saying that to find out the reason I was summoned, during this time, you and Laischa have always been closely surveilling my surroundings?”
In Shane’s room, as Lasha explained the reason for her presence here, Shane found himself at a loss for words and helpless.
“Yes.” Lasha’s expression remained impassive as she continued, “Lady thinks that since the Hero Summoning has been initiated, there must be a reason behind it. As Mr. Shane, being the hero, is undoubtedly at the center of this reason, and since you’ve also eradicated a branch of the Old Demon Clan Faction, both the Divine Race, Demon Clan, and Human Race will have taken notice of you during this time. There’s a high chance that something will happen around you, which might reveal something, and that’s why I’ve been following Mr. Shane, closely watching.”
This was not only what Laischa had been doing; Ai Yi was doing the same.
However, unlike Laischa who hid in the shadows, Ai Yi had always lingered around Shane.
And what Ai Yi wanted to see was not what might appear around Shane, but rather what Shane, the hero himself, would actually do.
Therefore, before coming to the Royal Capital, Ai Yi and Laischa had parted ways, one in the open, the other in secret, yet both were constantly by Shane’s side.
“You guys really have a lot of free time,” Shane said, a bit displeased. “Even when you’re being hunted down, you still have the leisure to pay attention to my affairs.”
Shane was quite averse to this matter.
Being secretly watched without knowing anything, understandably, no one would be pleased.
Especially with someone like Laischa, a master of Space Magic, it was impossible to know the extent of her surveillance.
Could it be that she was even watching while I took a bath or slept?
Then wouldn’t she know about those little moments between Tielle and me?
And what about those little exercises I can’t help but do in my room after a bath, those passed down from my ancestors—were those seen as well?
At this thought, Shane felt utterly terrible, even harboring a fleeting desire to kill.
If Laischa appeared before Shane now, he certainly would not hesitate to behead her.

Unfortunately, the girl had an accident.
“According to what you’re saying, last night, the girl named Laischa noticed something and left behind instructions that if she did not return, you should come to find Shane; then she hurriedly used Space Magic to leave?”
Beside them, Ai Yi, who had also been listening to Lasha’s explanation of the whole matter, finally spoke up.
“Yes.” Lasha lowered her eyes but still kept her composure: “That’s why I have been waiting here for Mr. Shane’s return.”
So, that was the course of events.
Which means…
“Yesterday, something happened around you that caught the girl’s attention and drew her over, but she has not returned.”
Ai Yi turned to look at Shane.
“Do you have any clue about this matter?”
Ai Yi’s question plunged Shane into silence.
He did have a clue.
After all, Shane did encounter quite a few things yesterday.
Of course, to summarize, there were only two events.
“Yesterday, I encountered a half-human half-centipede creature with Dragon Wings that could breathe Dragon Breath.”
After considering for a moment, Shane looked at Ai Yi and decided to reveal this incident.
“After this event, I was again called by the Goddess who summoned me, and this also happened yesterday.”
Shane’s words elicited a reaction from both individuals present.
“The Goddess who summoned the Hero…”
Lasha’s eyes flickered.
“A half-human half-centipede with Dragon Wings that could breathe Dragon Breath?” Ai Yi abruptly frowned, then with apparent disgust said, “You didn’t encounter…”
Ai Yi’s words stopped abruptly mid-sentence, but the look of disgust on her face did not fade. Instead, it grew thicker until it finally turned into a cold loathing.
“What’s wrong?” Shane noticed this and asked directly, “Do you recognize that monster?”
“…Yes,” Ai Yi pursed her lips, saying, “That is the disgrace of the Demon Clan, a despicable product that has trampled upon our dignity. I did not expect it to finally appear in the Human Realm.”
Having said that, Ai Yi did not continue, as if not wanting to be pressed on the matter, and shifted the conversation.
“So you’re saying, after you defeated that monster, the Goddess who summoned you called you over that very night. That’s what happened to you yesterday, right?”
Ai Yi awkwardly changed the subject.
Shane really wanted to ask for clarification, but seeing Ai Yi’s reluctance, he felt he had no choice.
So, Shane could only nod.
Ai Yi understood.
“Then things are somewhat clear now,” Ai Yi said. “That girl named Laischa stayed close to you just to find out why you were summoned. She must have realized last night that the mastermind behind this had called for you, hence she immediately took action and followed you as you left.”
The meaning behind Ai Yi’s words was quite clear.
“That lady of yours must have used Space Magic to intervene in the Summoning Technique used on you, Shane, running directly to the side of the Goddess who had executed the Hero Summoning,” Ai Yi snorted. “What recklessness, running off to the Divine World; it’s no surprise at all if she can’t return.”
Lasha fell silent at once.
“That idiot, to have done such a thing, is simply courting death.”
Shane had not expected the situation to be like this, and for a moment, was at a loss for words.
Being part of the Demon Clan, and moreover, a fugitive from the Old Demon Clan Faction of the kingdom, Laischa had dared to run off to the Divine World—utterly asking for a death wish.
Shane could vaguely imagine all kinds of miserable outcomes for her and could only mourn for her in silence.
The question was, whether she was currently dead or alive.
She surely couldn’t have been killed, right?
If she was, that would be some seriously bad luck.
While Shane was thinking along those lines, Lasha seemed not too worried about the situation.
“As for whether the Lady can survive, I’m not worried,” Lasha spoke indifferently. “Putting aside her strength, just considering her ability to preserve life, escape, and survive, the Lady would not lose to anyone. If she decides to run, even the Three Great Goddesses or the Six Great Demons couldn’t hold her back.”
“That’s indeed true,” Ai Yi also nodded, acknowledging, “That girl’s Unique Skill is very powerful, coupled with Space Magic, if she just aims to flee, I’m afraid nobody could catch her.”
“So what do we do now?” Shane blinked, asking, “Just leave her to her own devices?”
“How do you propose we handle it?” Ai Yi retorted, “Go to the Divine World to fetch her?”
…If I had that ability, would I need to live like this, painfully hiding my identity?
You’re quite the joker.
Seeing Shane at a loss for words, Ai Yi dismissively spoke.
“Let’s not act hastily for now, we’ll wait for a while and see. Maybe the girl will come back on her own.”
Saying that, Ai Yi stood up, casting a glance at Lasha that was complicated yet somewhat indifferent.
“As for you, stay here for now. Compared to that girl named Laischa, your safety needs more attention.”
Leaving these words behind, Ai Yi turned and left.
Shane watched Ai Yi go, then looked over at Lasha.
“Ah,” Shane sighed, saying, “Since it’s come to this, just stay here for now.”
Lasha remained silent for a while.
Then, she nodded her head.
