Chapter 341: The Magic Barrier
"Hurry up and apologize to the Nande couple, you disgraceful fool."
With that, Shi Ba dragged Iron Mask away from the stronghold hall in a flustered and hurried manner.
Watching the two stone men leave, Li Meng looked bored.
He had thought the Boulder Adventurer Squad was a force with a strong background.
Turns out, they didn't even qualify as second-rate players.
Li Meng glanced sideways at Rose, standing next to him.
"Rose, how about giving me a child?"
After he left, Rose would become the leader of the Brotherhood.
Although Rose's strength was rather weak, with him as her backing, the members below wouldn't dare trouble her.
However, for Rose to secure her position as vice president, giving birth to his child was the best solution.
Hearing his words, Rose's delicate body trembled.
She turned around, lifted her gown slightly, and curtsied.
"Boss, I'm willing!"
Of course, Rose was willing—she couldn't refuse even if she wanted to.
She had been waiting for this day for a long time.
Ever since the boss rescued her from the life of a wanderer, Rose had decided to dedicate her future entirely to him.
"Then let's go to bed."
With that, Li Meng stood up, grabbed Rose's hand, and led her away.
Rose's face turned slightly red, and she shyly followed the boss.
"Boss… it's still broad daylight."
"Who said you can't sleep during the day?"
"But… I… I still have things to do."
"The Brotherhood doesn't rely solely on you. Others will handle it."
"But there's still plenty of time until nightfall, Boss. I'll come to you tonight."
"Don't worry. When we wake up, it'll be morning."
And just like that, Rose was forcibly dragged into the bedroom by Li Meng.
Before long, the silence of the bedroom was broken.
True to his word, when they woke up, it was morning—but the activities were far from over.
For the next three days, Li Meng didn't let Rose leave the bed.
"Boss, I… I can't take it anymore!"
On the third day, Rose finally begged for mercy.
In the bedroom, her snow-white and voluptuous body was kneeling on the bed.
She looked back at the boss with a face full of pleading.
The boss had been relentless for three days, and she was utterly exhausted.
If this continued, she felt she might break.
The experience with the boss was simply too intoxicating.
Once they got into it, she couldn't help but lose herself entirely.
Li Meng grinned, raising his hand to slap her hips.
With a crisp "smack," the battle continued.
It wasn't until two hours later that the room finally quieted down.
On the bed, the two of them lay entwined in each other's arms.
Rose panted heavily, her head resting on Li Meng's chest.
After a while, their breathing gradually calmed and steadied.
"Tomorrow, I'll be leaving the labyrinth city of 'Aukladeo.'"
Hearing this, Rose's delicate body trembled.
She looked up at the boss in a panic.
Li Meng patted her shoulder to reassure her.
"Not much will change. Although I'm leaving, the Brotherhood will remain. I'm not at the age to retire in the labyrinth city 'Aukladeo.' My homeland is on the southern continent, and there are still many matters awaiting me there."
Rose hesitated but ultimately didn't speak. She laid back down in his arms.
Indeed, the labyrinth city was a good place.
But those who stayed here were either reclusive experts or adventurers exploring the labyrinth.
"Boss, will you come back?"
"I will. I don't plan to abandon the Brotherhood. As long as the Brotherhood exists, I can return anytime."
Hearing this, Rose felt at ease.
She snuggled closer into his embrace, finding a comfortable spot.
"That's good. I'll guard the Brotherhood for you, Boss."
"Then I'll be counting on you, Rose."
"Boss, love me for two more days."
"Didn't you say you couldn't handle it?"
"Is that not okay?"
"Alright, then let's continue."
"Good. Let's continue."
Before long, the bedroom was filled with activity once again.
The new round of battle began on the bed, with movements so intense it seemed even the bed couldn't bear it.

Three days later, in the Brotherhood courtyard.
"Listen up, everyone! After I leave, Rose will handle all Brotherhood affairs. I will only bind you to the Brotherhood for three years. After three years, you will be free. Whether you choose to stay or leave will be up to you. The Brotherhood won't force anyone, but as long as you remain here, you must abide by its rules. Otherwise, I won't show mercy. Without rules, there's chaos, and the Brotherhood is not a garbage dump without order."
In the courtyard, all the remaining Brotherhood members had gathered.
Looking around, there were several hundred people.
The boss was leaving?
"Do you understand?"
Li Meng's shout startled the Brotherhood members.
"Yes, we understand!"
The members quickly responded loudly.
"Good. The Brotherhood is mine. Even though I'm leaving, I will continue to protect it. We don't cause trouble, but if anyone dares to provoke us, I'll break their neck."
"Alright, boys, your boss is leaving!"
As he finished speaking, a holy white light burst from Li Meng's body.
He was instantly enveloped in the radiant glow.
Ten dazzling tendrils of light appeared behind him.
With a flash, Li Meng shot into the sky, transforming into a streak of light.
What was that?
The Brotherhood members in the courtyard stared dumbfounded at the white streak soaring into the sky.
The boss could fly?
Rose, too, was stunned.
She hadn't expected the boss to pull such a move.
She thought he'd take an airship back to the southern continent.
She never imagined he could actually fly.
Wasn't the boss a water-magic grandmaster?
What was with that holy radiance?
That was clearly light-element magic.
"Boss, there's a magic barrier in the sky!"
As if recalling something, Rose's face changed, and she shouted toward the sky.
But it was too late. The streak of light had already struck the magic barrier.
"Boom!"
A thunderous explosion resounded in the sky.
The previously clear sky revealed a translucent, water-blue magic barrier.
In one spot, it shattered like glass.
The white streak of light pierced through the barrier and shot into the distance.
Seeing this, Rose let out a sigh of relief.
"Haha, the boss is incredible!"
"Is the boss an angel?"
"Haha, the boss is too strong!"
The boss's bold and mighty act caused the Brotherhood members in the courtyard to cheer loudly.

Meanwhile, in the magic tower of the labyrinth city "Aukladeo," chaos erupted.
The magic barrier was severely disrupted.
A massive hole had appeared in the previously impenetrable barrier.
This was utterly incomprehensible.
The magic barrier of "Aukladeo" was constructed by more than a dozen magic towers.
Even a saint-level expert couldn't destroy it so quickly.
No one knew what had just happened.
