Li Aili quickly calculated that she only needed four magical plants to obtain the title of Senior Herbalist.
Thinking about the suffering she had endured, Li Aili felt incredibly happy with this score of 6/10.
Humming a cheerful little tune, she habitually walked to the side bedroom connected to the master bedroom in the north area.
The smile vanished the moment he pushed open the door.
The ceiling of the room disappeared—oh, I misspoke, the ceiling didn't disappear, it fell down and became 'one' with her bed.
Li Aili stared at the wrecked bed and asked the man behind her, "Tell me, Arthur Cold Jade, are you a husky?"
Arthur hugged her from behind, resting his chin on the top of Ellie's head.
Under the warm, magical light, Li Aili's back was pressed against the Duke's warm, strong chest.
"Ellie, tonight."
I've shared a bed with people before when I traveled in a magic carriage.
The deep, resonant sound mixed with the warmth of the air drilled into my ears, sending a tingling, numbing sensation through them.
Li Aili struggled for a while, then her heart softened.
“Only this one day, and…” Li Aili walked to the large bed in the master bedroom and used cushions to create a ‘river and Han boundary’ in the middle.
"The usual."
The Duke stared silently at the pair of pillows.
Li Aili picked up her pajamas with satisfaction, preparing to take a bath and then go to sleep.
I'm halfway through my professional title promotion journey, and I feel completely relaxed.
Perhaps it was the comforting warmth of the hot water sprinkled with flower petals, or perhaps she was feeling somewhat embarrassed at that moment.
Li Aili's fingers were wrinkled from being in the bath and the water had cooled down before she slowly climbed out of the bathtub.
Wrapped in a bathrobe, I cautiously peeked out of the bathroom.
The magic light in the master bedroom has been dimmed, leaving only a small nightlight by the bedside.
On the bed, the Duke was already lying down, his back to Li Ai Li.
She tiptoed to the bedside, sat down gently, and the mattress collapsed, causing Li Aili's body to stiffen immediately.
Only after confirming that the man lying on the other side of the pillow was asleep did she feel at ease enough to crawl into bed.
This day was both mentally and physically exhausting.
Li Aili fell asleep almost immediately after her head hit the pillow.
The nightlight by her bedside went out as soon as she closed her eyes.
In the darkness, the blue vertical pupils suddenly opened.
The Duke moved the pillows that were lying across the middle of the bed one by one, and then waited quietly like a seasoned hunter.
Until the sleeping Li Aili turned over... he reached out and pulled her into his arms, then closed his eyes contentedly.
That night, Li Aili slept very restlessly.
In my dream, that platinum dragon came again!
Li Aili was chased around by a dragon that was dangling from a giant brush used for brushing its scales.
I opened my eyes the next morning.
Li Aili felt that she didn't want to move a single finger.
Help... Is she under some kind of curse...?
She turned over and just then noticed that the pillow in the middle of the bed was missing. She was about to get angry when she saw that Arthur's side was also empty.
Li Aili: "..."
For a moment, she felt a void in her heart.
I reached out and touched the bed; it was ice-cold. I had no idea how long the person had been gone.
Conrad knocked on the door.
"Madam, are you awake?"
Li Aili: "Conrad, I'm awake."
Conrad's voice came from outside the door, "My lord, we're going to war."
"Would you like to have breakfast in your bedroom, or in the dining room?"
Li Aili: "..."
I feel a little uncomfortable.
Even after all these adventures, Li Aili still felt that she and Arthur lived in two different worlds.
In her past life, she heard a friend tell her this story.
A girl fell in love with a man, but her man would leave every morning.
Therefore, a woman might wish to kill all the birds in the world, just so the morning birds would not make a sound and take her lover away.
What was my response at the time?
It seems to have used a Buddhist saying...
“Madam,” Conrad called again from outside the door.
Li Aili: "I'm going to the restaurant."
The sound of Conrad's footsteps receding into the distance could be heard outside the door.
No sooner had Conrad walked away than there was a knock on the master bedroom window.
Li Aili threw off the thin blanket and got out of bed. She walked barefoot to the window and saw Peipei pressing against the window, gesturing anxiously to her.
Li Aili: "..."
Pepe opened the window and said anxiously, "Something's wrong with the boss!"
Li Aili: "...May I ask who your boss is?"
Pepe: "Boss Sphinx! Really! He's been unconscious for a whole day and night!"
Li Aili: "Let's go!"
Li Aili quickly changed her clothes and ran towards the West Forest.
The Sphinx chose a very peaceful place in Westham, next to Bognard.
It boasts beautiful scenery, with mountains and water, surrounded by lush greenery. It has few neighbors, but they are all quite powerful.
When Li Aili arrived, Bognar, who had drunk the shrinking potion, was taking care of the unconscious Sphinx in his dragon form.
When Li Aili saw the emerald dragon, she would curiously tug at the Sphinx's wings one moment, and poke its tail with her claws the next...
Li Aili: "..." This dragon has gone mad again.
Stop! That's a Sphinx!
"What exactly happened to him?" Li Aili asked.
Bognar blinked innocently. "I don't know."
Pepe said frankly, "Yesterday during the day, the Duke came to see the eldest son."
"The Duke told me to go play somewhere else..."
"When I came back, the boss was already like this!"
Li Aili's sharp gaze immediately swept towards Bognard.
