Just like before, Marne was so uncooperative. If it were anyone else, they probably would have lost their temper on the spot and started fighting with Marne.
If a fight breaks out, then the problem will be huge.
If even she couldn't handle Ma En, then no one else had any hope; they could only beat him up.
This beating has caused a major problem.
At that point, the Legal Affairs Department will be embarrassed and unable to back down, so they will continue to send people to cause trouble for Marx and Engels. In the end, things will definitely escalate and become uncontrollable.
That's why she came in person. Although she couldn't defeat Ma En, she had at least met him once. Ma En had held back against her last time, so as long as she could tolerate Ma En's temper, there wouldn't be any problems.
Leaving aside Lorelei's side, let's return to Ma En's side. They quickly caught up with the Lion King, and the four of them reunited and returned to the hotel together.
The two left-behind children were quite obedient and didn't cause any problems during this time.
After having lunch together, Ma En took them out as promised and they strolled around London.
I visited all the major attractions in London, tried out all the rides, and bought a lot of gifts and souvenirs.
As for food? Does Britain have any good food?
Even if there were, could they be as delicious as Marx and Engels' cuisine? Impossible!
So the group didn't buy much food, but the three little girls still had a blast playing with Mordred.
Well, Karen didn't get involved much; she just stayed quietly by Marne and the Lion King's side.
Chapter 168 Progress is not going well, Tiamat offers advice
It's not fair to say that Kallen is antisocial. She's already become familiar with Rin, Sakura, and Ilya. She doesn't usually talk much, but she will respond to questions.
She's a little reluctant to actively participate in the activities with the three older sisters, probably because she hasn't fully adapted yet, after all, they've only spent a little over a day or two together.
Moreover, she is not familiar with the new environment. After all, she is still a child, and her ability to cope and accept things is not as good as that of an adult. Even an adult may not be able to adapt to such a change in such a short period of time, let alone her.
However, she seemed to prefer staying by Ma En's side, which made Ma En wonder if he was actually quite popular with children.
And so, the group spent the afternoon playing, and returned to the hotel to rest when it got dark.
That evening, Marne's plan finally made some progress. The Lion King gave Marne a small helping hand, slightly alleviating some of the side effects of the Furnace of Desire.
Although it was only a small step forward, Ma En was very happy that the Lion King was finally beginning to open his heart to him.
The next day, the Lion King and Mordred, who thought they had finished dealing with the matter and were about to return, were pleasantly surprised to hear from 400 Marne that there was one more thing they needed to do and spend a few more days exploring Britain.
Although they didn't know what else Marne had to do, both the Lion King and Mordred were quite happy.
Well, the former is happy to see more of the scenery of their homeland, while the latter is happy to continue to spend time with the former up close.
Of course, the little girls were happy too, because if they didn't go back, they wouldn't have to go to school and could go out and play every day, which was just wonderful!
This is certainly Marne's plan. There are still things to do, but there's no rush. The main thing is to strengthen the bond with the Lion King.
So Marne led the six men on a tour of Britain.
A week passed during this trip, but to Ma En's dismay, the plan did not go smoothly.
I don't know where the Lion King learned this knowledge, but he always has a way to avoid directly eliminating the side effects of the 'Forge of Desire' for Marne.
That day, the journey came to its final destination: Wales.
During his evening rest, Mar and Eng, as usual, used the Soul Magic to arrive at the island in the Imaginary Space.
Marne easily pushed open the door of the small villa and entered the living room.
"You're back." Tiamat, who was sitting on the sofa watching TV, looked up and greeted her.
"Yes, I'm back." He responded with a soft "yes," then went over and sat down next to his wife, gently hugging her and burying his face in her shoulder.
It always felt so natural, just like an old married couple who had been living together for over ten years.
Well, although it hasn't been that long, that's pretty much how the two of them feel right now.
Mainly, Marne brought Tiamat a lot of books and movies, and Tiamat would read and watch them every day after Marne left.
Gradually, Tiamat learned a lot and began to behave more and more like a person, no longer having that awkward feeling she had before.
Of course, Tiamat's bride is also making great progress in her cultivation, which makes Maen look forward to returning here every day.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
Seeing that Ma En seemed a little down, Tiamat asked him with concern.
"Actually, these past few days..."
Maen recounted to Tiamat what had happened between him and the Lion King over the past few days.
Well, he didn't say it before, he only mentioned it. He didn't say much about what happened on that first day, and he usually doesn't talk much about other women with Tiamat.
After all, even if Tiamat didn't care what he did, she couldn't possibly be indifferent to hearing him talk about what he did with other people while they were alone together.
If he actually said that, then he's either lacking in emotional intelligence or he's a complete jerk.
However, recent setbacks have left Mar and Eng somewhat frustrated and in a bad mood.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. He's never really pursued a girl before. Even with Tiamat and Nero, they either got together easily or naturally. Maren has absolutely no experience with the pursuit process.
Moreover, this opponent's level is too high. Not only is their defense very thick, but this opponent may not even understand the concept of love, and their emotions are somewhat detached.
So, Ma En entered a nightmare-level dungeon right after starting in the newbie village, which is extremely difficult.
“Actually, you should have been more proactive,” Yamat said after listening.
Ma En was slightly taken aback: "Isn't that proactive enough?"
He felt he had been proactive enough, frequently visiting people in person; putting everything else aside, he had certainly been shameless enough.
If it were someone else, let alone being rejected every day, just being rejected once or twice would probably make them feel embarrassed. They wouldn't be as persistent as him, doing this every single day.
"As you said yourself, she's emotionally detached, and how would she know what she's thinking? As long as she doesn't understand these things, no matter how you ask for her opinion, she'll definitely get no answer."
"Moreover, given her life experience, even if she begins to understand, she will definitely hesitate. You don't know how long you'll have to wait until she fully understands her own feelings."
"Furthermore, even if you receive a reply, you can't be sure that it's the reply you want."
Tiamat slowly and methodically analyzed the situation for Marne.
"So you need to be more proactive and establish the relationship while she's still a bit naive. That way, when she gradually understands her feelings, she'll already be bound to you."
After hearing this, Ma En felt slightly embarrassed: "Isn't this kind of behavior of prioritizing physical pleasure over emotional connection a bit inappropriate?"
He felt something was off; after all, Tiamat was his first wife.
And what is she doing now? She's actually teaching him how to pick up girls! Giving him advice on how to woo women!
Is this the legendary composure of the empress? I love it!
This is a privilege that only emperors in ancient times would have, with the empress personally helping the emperor choose concubines!
I have to say, this is really awesome!
Of course, Marx and Engels were still somewhat guilty.
After all, Tiamat has been so good to him, how much love will he have to give in the future to repay her?
Sigh~, another day where I feel I owe my wife something.
Tiamat, however, was unaware that Marne had suddenly added so much internal drama to his mind.
She smiled at his words and looked at Ma En with a wry smile, saying, "What's wrong with this behavior? Wasn't that how you treated me back then?"
Ma En instantly broke out in a cold sweat, sweat pouring down his face, and hurriedly said, "How could that be! I fell in love with you at first sight, my dear wife. I was completely captivated by your stunning beauty..."
Chapter 169 Morgan's King Arthur Resurrection Plan
Marne spoke with a strong will to survive, but Tiamat interrupted him directly.
"Okay, don't say things like that anymore. I know everything, and I don't blame you. It was fine the way it was back then."
Faced with such an understanding wife, Ma En was so moved that he immediately made love to her.
"Wife."
After spending a tender night with his first wife in the imaginary space, Ma En returned to the real world early the next morning.
After breakfast, the group of six, consisting of two adults and four children, embarked on their search, or rather, officially began their search.
The person he was looking for was in Wales; his previous journey was merely a delaying tactic to conquer the Lion King.
Now that Ma'en has received advice from Tiamat, he is determined to take down the Lion King tonight, so there is no need for delaying anymore.
"Wales, I don't really like it here."
On the way, Mordred looked at the surrounding scenery and said with some lack of interest.
Because, although this place is considered her birthplace, it is also where her mother Morgan lived. She never really liked Morgan, and as a result, she didn't like this place either.
The four little girls were also losing interest. They had long been tired of the trip and didn't really like the constant travel.
The Lion King, however, had no objections; she genuinely wanted to explore the entire Britannian continent.
"Lia, did you sense anything?"
Marne, driving himself, asked the Lion King in the passenger seat beside him.
"Sensing? Sensing what?" Upon hearing this, Zi Wang turned his gaze away from the car window and looked at Ma En with a puzzled expression.
“The person we’re looking for this time is somewhat related to you. They’re a branch of your sister Morgan’s family… well, a family, anyway, they’re related to Morgan. She gave them a mission, a mission that’s related to you,” En explained.
"No!"
Before the Lion King could say anything, Mordred couldn't help but shout out first.
"It's about that person, Master. Why didn't you tell me sooner? I shouldn't have come."
She really didn't want to have anything to do with that 'mother' anymore; she had absolutely no good impression of her.
The children looked at her with some confusion. They hadn't learned much and didn't know the relationship between Mordred and Morgan.
Ma En ignored her words and continued driving, glancing at the Lion King as he asked, "How is it? Did I sense anything?"
The Lion King shook his head: "No."
He then asked in return, "Master, you said that mission is related to me, what exactly is it?"
