Doctor of Science's Journey into Another World

Chapter 484 Duke Kefu's 3rd Granddaughter

When the man and the god were silent, the still time and space around them began to flow slowly, and the water mist floating in the air was gradually dissolving. Bai Hao noticed this change at the first time because he felt the flow of air again.

"Sister Guang, can I ask you one last question?"

"Ask, ask, you are just thinking about how to die, really..."

Suddenly, the God of Light Element froze, and then hurriedly grabbed Bai Hao's shoulders and shouted in an almost roaring tone: "No! Absolutely not! You will definitely kill everyone if you do this!"

"Yes, but..."

"No buts!"

The God of Light glared at Bai Hao and said in a cold voice: "I know what you are thinking, but I tell you, even in your heart, it is best not to have that kind of thought, because even gods and demons are afraid of that!"

"Overestimating one's own capabilities is the path to self-destruction for arrogant people!"

After saying that, the God of Light Element disappeared. Before she left, she looked at Omir who was holding a plate of food beside her, but in the end she said nothing.

Then the surrounding time and space began to flow, from slow to fast, and returned to normal in less than a few seconds. Bai Hao was still sitting on the ground, looking at the place where the God of Light Element disappeared, and he let out a sigh after a while.

"Viscount Campbell, why are you sitting on the ground all of a sudden?" Duke Kefu, who was sitting on the soft chair, looked at Bai Hao with some confusion, and then exclaimed: "Huh? Where are my gloves? They were clearly on my hands just now..."

Bai Hao shook his head and chuckled as if he was mocking himself. He then picked up the gloves thrown under the table by the God of Light Element, gestured to Duke Kefu, and said calmly: "Just think of it as a joke I just said. There is no real Light Element Mage. Those are just miracles."

Not long after that, the negotiations on the replacement of Orleans' magical equipment and the introduction of life-saving magic stone technology were successfully concluded.

Although Bai Hao seemed a little absent-minded later, Duke Koff still agreed with most of Bai Hao's proposals, and finally decided to fully support this major project.

Before leaving, Duke Kefu suddenly slapped his head, then pulled a girl with long brown hair behind him closer and introduced her to Bai Hao: "Viscount Campbell, this is my third granddaughter, named Cornele. She is a loyal fan of yours, and your portraits are hung all over the walls of her room!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Hao noticed that there was a girl in a lace dress standing behind Duke Koff. She was about sixteen or seventeen years old and was a typical Central Plains beauty with a straight nose, beautiful big eyes, and a curvy figure. At this moment, she was smiling shyly at him.

But Bai Hao remembered that he had clearly said before not to bring irrelevant people to the meeting, but Duke Koff still brought his granddaughter. Although the number of people decreased from four to one, this kind of promotion behavior, which was like a blind date, made Bai Hao a little unhappy.

As if sensing Bai Hao's displeasure, Duke Kefu hurriedly introduced: "Oh, Cornele is my accompanying secretary. She has been working beside me for a year. She is not an irrelevant person."

Duke Kefu's words made Bai Hao's expression ease a little, so he nodded politely to Cornelie and said in a warm voice: "Hello, nice to meet you."

Although Bai Hao's answer was a bit perfunctory, it still made Cornele couldn't help but let out a cry of joy. In her opinion, being able to talk to her dream lover was enough to make her ecstatic.

Cornele pursed her lips and looked at Bai Hao shyly, saying, "No, I wonder if Viscount Campbell is free tonight. I don't quite understand some chapters of the Bright Moon Doctrine, and I hope you can give me some guidance..."

When he heard that it was tonight, Bai Hao refused without thinking, because tonight he happened to be canceling the Beast Kui contract with Xing Lili.

Although this matter would not take the entire night, Bai Hao knew very well how insecure Xing Lili felt after the Beast Kui contract was terminated, so he had to stay by her side all night.

If he left Xing Lili aside and gave one-on-one guidance to a beautiful girl he just met, it would be a lot of fun. Bai Hao could even imagine the resentful look Xing Lili would give him when he returned to the room in the middle of the night.

"Sorry, I have other plans tonight. Besides, it's better to find a professional missionary to teach the doctrine. Although I have a special status in the Moon Goddess Sect, I have never systematically studied the doctrine..."

"No, it's okay!" Cornelle waved her hands in a panic, and then added hastily: "I'm fine, Viscount Campbell, you can finish your work first. We can study the doctrine together when we have time in the future."

After saying that, Cornele hurriedly ran back behind Duke Koff, and then buried her head and dared not look at Bai Hao. Her immature appearance was completely that of a pure girl who was experiencing her first love. But unfortunately, the seats around Bai Hao were already full, and even overflowing.

Cornelie's true love was misplaced after all. If Bai Hao was born and raised in Orleans, he might have had a chance to marry Cornelie, but at least it is a little difficult now. After all, Bai Hao is not a playboy who is affectionate to everyone.

Duke Koff didn't know what to say when he saw this. He just laughed it off to Bai Hao and left the Temple of Ottotes with Cornele. He had heard that Bai Hao would soon join the Ornolan School of Magic for further studies and would stay in Orleans for several years in the future, so there were plenty of opportunities.

In Orleans, and even in the entire Orleans Empire, it was normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, and Duke Koff was very confident in his third granddaughter. After all, Cornelie was a famous beauty in the Orleans aristocratic circle, and many young noble sons were willing to marry Cornelie even if they had to marry into the family.

Moreover, Duke Koff did not mind Cornele being a concubine. He had more than a dozen grandchildren in his family anyway. Duke Koff's main goal was to get in touch with Bai Hao so that his family could have a certain amount of power in the Moonlight Goddess Sect.

Although Olmia did not tell anyone except the sect's top leaders that Bai Hao would be the next Holy Son, the all-powerful Duke Kofu had already heard the news early on.

After all, Duke Koff's family is also a top wealthy family that has been entrenched in Orleans for a thousand years, so naturally they have some connections in the Moon Goddess Sect.

Duke Koff often invited some priest-level Bright Moon priests to his home and donated large amounts of gift money to the church.

But no matter what, it doesn’t matter even if Bai Hao is not the future Holy Son of Bright Moon. Bai Hao himself is already good enough. Using family women to attract talents from the outside world has always been something that the top nobles enjoy doing.

It would be best if those talented men could marry into the family, but it doesn’t matter if they can’t, as there are plenty of beautiful women in the family anyway.
