Shadow Slave novel Chapter 2447

Chapter 2447 Home Visit

Leaving behind a few cracked cobblestones, Sunny arrived at a particular gate and waited for a while, expecting a giant wolf to come barreling out to engulf him in a hurricane of excitement, enthusiasm, and slobbery puppy love.

However, nothing of the sort happened. Sunny had been preparing himself to act annoyed, but now, he was strangely disappointed.

‘Ling Ling, that brat... does he not smell his favorite uncle standing at the door?’

Sunny waited a bit more, then sighed and raised his hand to knock at the gate. Before he could, however, it opened, revealing the sight of a toned, shapely, and sculpted torso. Sunny studied it for a few moments, then looked up... and then, with a sigh, a little higher still.

Effie was standing on the gravel road barefoot, wearing well-worn, comfy sweatpants and a makeshift crop top with a faded Night&Gale logo that heroically held back her ample figure. Her hair was disheveled, and she was rubbing her eyes while yawning.

Seeing her in such a mundane set of clothes felt a little strange, considering who she was and where they were. But then again, Effie had never been one to care about her exalted status.

Looking over Sunny's head, she gave the street a dubious look.

“Huh? No one is here?"

‘Goddammit!’

He greeted his teeth.

“Hey! Stop pretending that you can't see me."

Effie raised her eyebrows and slowly lowered her gaze. Then, she lowered it some more and smiled brilliantly.

“Oh! It's you, Shadow Boy. Sorry, didn't notice you there... and by there, I mean down, down there..."

Sunny furrowed his brow in annoyance.

"How does it even make sense? Sure, let's say you didn't notice me. What about that huge bundle on my back? The one that is three meters long? Only a blind person would fail to notice that!"

Effie looked at the bundled item protruding high above his left shoulder, then scratched her head in embarrassment.

“Well, fine. You got me there... anyway, come in. I was warned that you'd be showing up, so I've been waiting. This is officially my first day of vacation! | didn't even know that I get to have those, you know? Granted, since you are involved, it will probably be a work trip at best... now that I think about it, I think I was swindled out of taking a break..."

Sunny followed Effie past the gate and looked around.

“Huh? Where's Little Ling? And his dad? I was hoping to catch up"

She gave him the side eye.

“Ling Ling is punished and is helping his dad around the farm. Also... I find it weird that you are friends with my husband. Really weird!"

Sunny blinked a few times, aghast and dismayed.

“What? Why? Let me tell you, | am an awesome friend.’

Effie nodded energetically.

“Exactly. You are way too awesome! In the literal sense of the word, I mean. You are a Sovereign, for Spell's sake. What business does my husband have being pals with a Sovereign?"

Sunny scoffed.

“That guy is married to a Saint and is raising another. I think he can handle being buddies with a Supreme. Don't sell that guy short... he is just that kind of impressive.’

Effie glanced at him, then looked away with a soft smile.
