Ray, who returned to Vermillion's residence, quickly entered the Spirit ranch.

Now he had 3 objectives to do in the spirit ranch. The first was to give that golden tree some payback. If not for the golden trees, Ray would not get into such a problem with Elsa.

The second was to check the blue-argon empress. Ray had just received a notification from Aina that the blue-argon empress had matured and could be harvested.

And the last but also the most important was to boost the growth of his spirit plants and find a recipe for a cosmetic product in the shop. The ball was getting near, and Ray would definitely want to prepare a good surprise for Kyouko.

Soon, a portal opened in front of Ray, and he jumped into it.

*Swoosh*

******

Ray came out from the portal and arrived at the spirit ranch. It was only a day from his last time here, but he could already felt the changes happening here. It seems the high concentration of spiritual energy really helped the growth of spiritual plants.

He snapped his hands and called Chongky and Schwarz to deal with his personal business.

" Chongky, Schwarz. It seems that the golden tree was lonely and needed you guys. How about spending some time playing with him?"

Ray smiled evilly, and the two spirit beasts who had their feeling connected to Ray could see the implicit meaning behind this. They nodded and gave Ray a sign like 'leave it to me' before rushing to the golden tree's side.

" Well then, that's one matter done. Let's go to the next. If I'm not wrong, the position of the blue-argon empress should be around here."

Carefully, Ray went into the location of the blue-argon empress. The field was full of spirit plants, and Ray didn't want to accidentally step on one of his plants because he was not careful enough.

He strolled the path to the Blu-argon's empress's location, but how surprised he was when he didn't find the blue-argon empress over there, instead of a beautiful loli in blue dresses.

" Papa."

Upon seeing Ray, The blue-argon empress's eyes glowed, and she rushed directly into Ray's embrace.

" Papa!!"

Ray caught the blue-argon empress who latched on his body, but his mind was in a daze right now.

' A girl just told me that she has been pregnant with my baby, and now I truly gained a baby on my own. What the heck just happened here."

If to could be said loudly, Ray's adventure today has been like a roller coaster. He was called by the teacher to came into the principal office, only to fuck the principal at the end. Then a girl that said she was pregnant was waiting for Ray in front of the school gates, and now he eventually became a father.

' Fuck, I'm still in my prime of youth. What did I do deserve all this.'

Even if his personality had matured a bit, Ray's mind still couldn't accept this easily. He was about to explain the situation clearly to the child blue-argon empress. However, just when their eyes locked, Ray could see the worry in the blue-argon empress's eyes.

" Papa.. does Papa not want Lanlan anymore?"

*First blood*

" Lanlan promises that Lanlan will not bother Papa. So please don't throw Lanlan away."

*Double Kill*

" It must be because Lanlan is a naughty girl right, Please forgive Lanlan, Papa."

The child blue argon empress said with tears flooding her round cheeks.

*Triple Kill*

"Please Papa.."

The child blue argon empress looked at Ray with a super pitiable look.

* Quadra kill*

" If Papa doesn't want Lanlan anymore, then Lanlan will stop bothering Papa."

The blue argon empress rubbed her head on Ray's chest once more before slowly leaving Ray with a dejected expression.

*Pentakill*

Ray saw the dejected Blue-Argon empress and couldn't help but feel pained in his heart. This little girl, he must protecc.

No matter what, He will always be this blue-argon.. No, Lanlan's father. Ray had vowed in his mind.

He picked up the dejected Lanlan and placed her on his embrace once again.

" Who said that Papa doesn't want Lanlan. Papa was only surprised that my little child is this beautiful."

" Really? Lanlan knows it. Papa is the best!"

The two enjoyed their warm moment like father and daughter, not knowing two jealous entities were getting closer to them.

*Boing-Boing*

" Not fair meow, Schwarz also wanted to be embraced by Ray!"

Of course, it was Schwarz and Chongky.

Schwarz quickly jumped into Ray's shoulder, while Chongky continuously hopped around Ray, saying that he also wanted to be spoiled.

*Sigh* These kids...

Ray eventually spend almost an hour pacifying the three little kids on his side. He had told Chongky and Schwarz that Lanlan would be a new addition to their family, and Chongky and Schwarz should also dote on her as her older siblings.

It was pretty hard at first, but Chongky and Schwarz eventually submitted to Lanlan charm when Lanlan looked at them with her watery eyes.

See, Ray was not the only one. Even Chongky and Schwarz also realized that Lanlan's watery eyes were not something that could be handled in this world.

Just like the old saying in Ray's world.

She protecc, she atacc, but most importantly, she is cute as hecc.

After their situation started to get better, Ray left Lanlan with Chongky and Schwarz. Even though he wanted to play with Lanlan, Ray needed to first focus on the cosmetic product. The time is getting nearer, and it would be better to prepare it as soon as possible.

" Fiuh, luckily, there was no FBI here. If not, I might already get caught by them"
