Lin Fan of course didn’t escape his lecture after he was caught by the girls.
He was forced to sit in the seiza position while they scolded him for being alone with the fourth prince.
The lecture that they gave him really did sound very strange, but he sat there and listened to it all.
Then when it was over, they still didn’t let him stand up as they moved around to check his body. It was as if they suspected the fourth prince of doing something to him.
Lin Fan just went along with it and raised his hands to let them check him.
When it was over, he was allowed to stand up again.
But that didn’t mean that his punishment was over yet.
After all, it had been a few days since they had seen him. This was even more so for the girls who had been in the Minor World, who had thought that they would be able to see him during the trip.
But because of what happened with the fourth prince, Lin Fan hadn’t gone into the Minor World even once. So what they thought would be theirs had been taken to them and this dissatisfaction had built up over the trip.
While they understood that Lin Fan had no choice in this matter, they still weren’t going to drop it that easily.
So they all went with Lin Fan into the bedroom…
However, it wasn’t for what one thought it would be for.
Instead of taking off their clothes, they all laid in the bed and waited for him.
Then when he laid down, they all cuddled up against him and fell asleep while being held by him.
That was right, all they cared about was just sleeping with him and not dual cultivating. That was what had been taken away from them during this time, so they would get that back tonight.
Just like this, Lin Fan had been turned into a body pillow by all of these girls.
Though…to say that it wasn’t fun for him was a lie.
After all, having all of their soft bodies pressed up against him really was a form of torture that he enjoyed.
His thing couldn’t help getting hard, but ignoring it was part of the punishment from the girls.
So in the end, all he could do was sleep while being in agony.
When morning came, he found that all of them had disappeared without a trace. The only thing that was left was their fragrance and the large tent that had been created by them.
But of course, Lin Fan knew that he shouldn’t take care of it himself…
If he did, he knew that he would be punished even more by them…so all he could do was wait until tonight to take care of it with them. Hopefully, their anger had faded by now and they would be in the mood…
Still, since it was morning, it wasn’t as if he could just stay in bed all day.
So he got out of the bed and got dressed to find that all of the girls were gone from the manor.
The only thing that was left for him was some breakfast that had clearly been cooked by Duanmu Ming Yue.
There was even a little note that told him how to heat it up.
Lin Fan couldn’t help revealing a smile before quickly finishing off this breakfast.
Then without hesitation, he headed to the city hall.
He had been away from the town for a long time and had completely neglected his job as the city lord. So he actually didn’t know a single thing about the city and didn’t know what to do.
He was heading to the city hall to find Yue Lan and Ming Xin to see if he could do anything to help them.
When he arrived, he found that there were a bunch of people running around in this place.
It wasn’t just the staff members that were here, but rather a bunch of citizens, mercenaries, merchants, and even cultivators that were scattered around.
Based on the sheets of paper that they had in their hands, it seemed like they were here to hand in one form or another. 𝒩𝔬𝑽𝗅xt.𝑪𝐎𝗆
But based on the sheets that they had in their hands, they were standing in specific areas.
This was not something that was normally done when it came to managing things in city hall, but this was something that Lin Fan had suggested to Yue Lan and Ming Xin. This was the system of assigning departments and having each department only handle paperwork related to that department.
The old method that was much more chaotic was to have clerks handle every request.
But this new method which Lin Fan had stolen from Earth was to separate the things that needed authorization into departments and then separate those departments into areas. That way, people could see which department they needed to go and head there directly.
At the same time, this would allow each department to work much faster.
After all, they didn’t need to do general work and could do specialized work.
Each department had things that they took care of and could do faster than other things. At the same time, all the things that they needed for that one thing would be gathered in one area since they were for that department.
So this would greatly increase their speed.
But the fact that there were all of these people here even with the smoother process, it was clear that the dungeon city was very popular.
However, that also meant that there were more and more people that were aware of the dungeon…
Whether that turned out to be a good thing or a bad thing…it was hard to tell right now.
After looking around for a bit, Lin Fan made his way up to the second floor.
None of the staff stopped him since they all recognized him.
Yue Lan had made sure that everyone would recognize Lin Fan when she had trained the staff. She wanted to ensure that not a single one of them was rude to him or made any mistakes.
At the same time…she had made sure that their devotion was to him rather than to her…
That was because the city hall was filled with beautiful girls just like the Royal Style stores.
It seemed that her ambition had been expanded and now she was building an even bigger harem for Lin Fan…
But Lin Fan ignored all of this and went to the second floor where Yue Lan and Ming Xin were having a meeting.
They were surprised to see Lin Fan walking in and they stopped their meeting when they saw him.
Lin Fan said with a smile, “Is there anything I can help with?”
Both of them were surprised to see him and hear this, but Yue Lan was the one that reacted first by standing up. Then she waved at him to come over to where she had been sitting.
Lin Fan was confused when he saw this, but he still walked over to where she was.
When he stopped, she pulled him forward so that he was sitting where she had been sitting. Then without any hesitation, she sat down on his lap and leaned back so that she was against his chest.
After she got into this position, she just closed her eyes and enjoyed herself instead of actually doing her work.
But that didn’t last long since Ming Xin had finally reacted to this.
She came over and sat down in Lin Fan’s lap too, pushing Yue Lan to the side a bit as she said, “That’s not fair. You can’t hog him all to yourself.”
Yue Lan didn’t respond to this and even pretended like she didn’t hear it as she leaned back against Lin Fan’s chest.
Ming Xin narrowed her eyes to look at Yue Lan, but she gave up in the end and just enjoyed laying against Lin Fan’s chest too.
Lin Fan however felt very awkward since he didn’t understand what was happening.
After a long silence, he finally said, “Uh, what is going on? Do you need me to do anything?”
Both Yue Lan and Ming Xin shook their heads and said, “Just stay here like this and comfort us.”
Lin Fan realized what was happening at this and he revealed a bitter smile.
But at the same time, he knew that things must be much better than before if they were willing to relax like this.
Back when they had first created this city, there were many things to do to keep up with the rate of expansion. But now, it seemed that they had finally finished putting a system in place so that they weren’t being dragged around anymore.
He also knew that this was all because of the two that were currently sitting in his lap.
Without their hard work, this would have never happened.
So if they wanted to take a small break like this, they really deserved it.
Lin Fan looked down at them and then reached his hand out to pat them on their head.
Both Yue Lan and Ming Xin were taken aback when they felt this, but then…their hearts melted when they heard him say, “Good job. Thanks for all your hard work.”
When they heard this, it felt like everything that they had done had been worth it.
So they both leaned up against him again and said, “Un.”
Sometimes, it was good to enjoy the small things like this.
