Imperial Capital, Black Lily District, No. 32 Jingui Street.
The light afternoon sunlight shone down, casting a layer of light golden glow on the dusty villa that had been uninhabited for nearly half a year.
Xia raised his head and looked at the familiar yet somewhat strange house in front of him, and couldn't help but stretch.
"It's been a long time."
"It's been a long time indeed, and it's not just our home."
On the side, a blonde girl was wearing a large sun hat and a plain white dress.
The crystal high heels tapped on the ground with a hint of irritability and depression.
Not long ago, Char used the skull of the Giant King, a sacred relic of Ashes, as an anchor point, and through the passage opened up by the other party's descent ritual, he descended directly from the Garden of Eden in the ashes of the fantasy belt into the human world.
Only after Char arrived at the real timeline could he once again use himself as an anchor to provide coordinates and guidance for Airola's Holy Spear to travel through the long river of history.
...
...
The time difference is about a few hours.
Originally, Char and Airola had spent ten years in the Garden of Eden like this, so a little while longer wouldn't be a big deal.
However, when Aurora rode the Holy Spear through the long river of history and returned to the world again——
The scene she saw caused Airola's spiritual ocean, which had just been fully formed after being freed from the restraints of the Holy Spear, to shake.
Under the dawn light, among the broken ruins.
The black-haired boy and the silver-haired queen reached out to each other.
What is this famous painting of the moon?
And the most critical issue is -
It was obvious that I was the one who came first!
Whether it's meeting Char, swearing an oath with your fingers, or even falling in love.
How come I suddenly became a third wheel after just a few hours of not seeing each other?
Thinking of this, Airola slightly lowered the brim of her wide sun hat, gently moved closer to Char, picked up his collar and sniffed it.
"That's fine, Princess."
"Ms. Sylvia, it seems that there is also the smell of President Diris."
"How much have you done in the few hours I was away?"
Why didn't I see that Char had the potential to become a master of time management?
"Xiao Ai, your jealous personality hasn't changed at all."
"But I like it."
Char played with the strands of Airola's fallen hair and smiled.
Time is enough to change many things.
But there are some things that cannot be shaken by time.
Ten years of living together did not make their originally passionate love gradually become dull as described in many stories, and even eventually deteriorated and faded because of trivial matters... experiencing entanglements such as the three-year itch.
On the contrary, in the past ten years, along with the complete unlocking of the Holy Spear and the growth of its strength—
Instead, it made Aira's possessiveness towards Char even stronger.
This can be seen from the wolfberry water and roasted kidneys that Char drank crazily every day in the last few weeks before they were about to leave the Garden of Eden.
All I can say is that this girl is becoming more and more adept at using the weak to overcome the strong.
The two walked into the house at No. 32 Jingui Street, Black Lily District.
Xia looked at the dusty living room and study, and took out a bucket and cleaning tools from his space pocket.
He called out the sleeping pets from the soul contract space: "Come alive."
“Master, this kind of thing can just be done by Yui, and those micro nano robots can handle it in no time.”
The little ferret opened its eyes sleepily on Char's shoulder and whimpered.
Ever since being promoted to Legend and becoming the legendary "Boundary Breakthrough. Snow Marten", Gin's sleepiness has become more and more serious.
Out of 24 hours in a day, at least 18 hours are spent sleeping in the Soul Contract Space. The rest of the time is either spent in Char's arms, begging for petting, or lying on Char's head, basking in the sun.
The main focus is laziness.
“There’s an old saying in my hometown: If you stay in a high position for a long time, you’ll easily lose your original heart.”
"This is what I learned from the incomplete memories of the Giant King's skull... Those gods actually once had tribesmen, they had bonds that they loved and cared about, and they were once living beings."
"However, as one's strength grows, and one is in a high position, overlooking all living things, the original humanity and emotions will gradually fade away, and in the end, only the cold divinity will remain."
"Of course, removing the sensibility and leaving only the lofty divinity is not bad from the perspective of becoming stronger. It's just that each of us has made a different choice."
Char rubbed the silver, shining, and red head.
"It's just that I don't want us to be rebelling against the gods and fate all the way, acting for the tiny bit of human persistence in our hearts..."
"In the end, the boy who slays the dragon will eventually become a dragon. After hundreds of years, we will become the new gods, high above, overlooking all living beings."
If not, he should have chosen to accept the kindness and marriage proposal of the Scarlet Rose Family at the Borgia family dinner.
Instead of choosing to fire the magic-killing shot at the death row prisoner.
"嘤嘤~ (Master, please stop scolding me. I know.)"
The little ferret shook its big, furry, snow-white tail helplessly and jumped off Char's shoulder.
Then, he picked up a broom from the cleaning tools on the floor and walked towards the inner room with his short legs.
It was adopted and contracted by Char when it was very young, still a cub that was too young to remember anything.
All along the way, Gin has been well protected and trained by Char, so even though he has been promoted to the legendary level now, Gin's mind is still relatively simple, and he naturally cannot understand the meaning of Char's nagging words.
Anyway, the point is to work, right? It's not the first time I've been a tool, I'm used to it.
On the other side, Airola said nothing, but silently handed the bucket full of water to Char.
Compared to Char's worries about whether he would lose his humanity in the future, she never wavered from beginning to end.
For her, as long as she could stay by Char's side—
So whether we are sitting side by side on the lonely throne, slowly forgetting humanity.
Or they could fall into the abyss together and become corrupted into evil gods, Airola didn't really care.
She would follow him from cradle to grave.
Airola doesn't care about anything else, nor does she want to care.
…
"Done."
Two hours later, Xia Ya lay down on the sofa in the living room.
On the sofa beside him, Yin and Shanshan also collapsed with despair.
Only Yui, who looked like a metal fairy, was still suspended in the air, flapping her fairy wings made of undead metal, looking at the little snow ferret and golden monkey below with dissatisfaction.
"Big Sister Yin, you've been lazy for fifteen minutes, and Shanshan, you've been lazy for nineteen minutes."
However, facing Yui's accusations, Gin and Shanshan didn't even have the strength to refute.
As high-level pets, their physical fitness is enough to split mountains and crack rocks... Cleaning a mansion should be a piece of cake for them, and it shouldn't be so strenuous.
However, their beastmasters are simply not human.
Under the pretext of "remembering the bitter past and thinking of the sweet present", not only did he use the Soul Contract to forcibly prohibit all of their pets' skills, he also used the skill of "Royal Domain" derived from the "Heart of the Overlord" to create a gravity field hundreds of times stronger.
This made it difficult for them to make any movement, let alone clean the entire mansion.
Moreover, the gravity field is specially customized for each individual. For example, for Silver, who has now been promoted to the legendary level, the gravity of the "royal power" field he withstands is several times higher than that of Shanshan.
The main point is to stimulate the potential of pets to the extreme, not to be human.
If Char himself had not set an example by joining the training in the royal domain, the pets would probably have shouted "The late morning of the sun, the newborn dawn of the east", and then demolished the house and rebelled.
Only the little silver spirit Chihong blinked innocently and was in good condition.
Before being contracted by Char, it was a pure training maniac, and it had trained the "Slash" to the "Transcendent" level of proficiency with the strength of the first level.
This amount of training was just like a drizzle to Chihong. At this moment, he couldn't understand why Yin and Shanshan, who had been spoiled since childhood, had such poor ability to withstand pressure.
Char didn't pay much attention to the fights among his pets.
He rested for a while and then moved closer to Airola.
This childhood sweetheart of mine is also a training fanatic like Chihong. He took the initiative to join the training in the royal domain without shedding even a drop of sweat.
At this moment, Airola was wiping an old silver-white photo frame on the bookshelf with paper.
That was a magical photo taken when Char and Airola first came to the imperial capital. In the picture, the little boy and girl had immature faces and their eyebrows and eyes had not yet fully grown.
The boy looked precocious beyond his age, with his hands in his pockets, while the little girl held his hand and smiled brightly at the camera.
Airola wiped the silver photo frame for a long time, and only put it on the bedside table in the bedroom after a long time.
“I’m afraid we never thought at that time that we would be able to achieve what we have today in a few years.”
Char also saw the photo frame, sighed, and put his hand on the blonde girl's long legs in white stockings.
"But the past is only the past after all. We have to look forward. We can still create many new memories."
While enjoying the pleasure brought by touching her legs, he put his other hand up along the blonde girl's soft waist: "We didn't sleep all night last night, let's go to bed early today."
After hearing Char's suggestion, a hint of excitement flashed across Airola's beautiful blue eyes.
But soon, she slightly turned sideways and dodged Xia's restless right hand: "I have invited Miss Sylvia and Her Majesty the Queen to visit my home. They should be here soon."
"You invited them to your home?"
Char spoke suspiciously.
Although that kind of thing was something he certainly wanted more than anything.
As the old saying goes, the more soldiers Han Xin had, the better. As a man whose dream is to write a "Guide to the Evaluation of Customs of Different Races", of course, the more soldiers Char had, the better for those girls who had already maxed out their favorability and were just waiting for the last step.
But when these words came out of Airola's mouth, Xia always felt something was wrong.
Doesn’t Xiao Ai usually guard against those women as if they were thieves? Why is she so proactive and considerate today and starting to think about his sexual well-being?
"Nothing, it's just that during those ten years, I figured out some things..."
Airola stared straight at Char with her beautiful sky-blue eyes.
"Anyway, no matter how I defend myself, you will definitely be thinking about them, right?"
Char nodded.
Whether it is Sylvia or Isadella, they have indeed occupied a place in his heart.
Unable to give up, and unwilling to give up.
"So I think, instead of being on guard all day, it's better to be completely clear about those things and competition."
Arora played with the ends of her light golden hair: "According to the rules of the extraordinary world, when two beastmasters encounter something they both like and are unwilling to give up, then according to the rules, they will naturally have to fight each other." "But, if I really fight with Miss Sylvia or Her Majesty Isadella--"
"No matter who wins or loses in the end, no matter who gets hurt, you will definitely feel bad, Char."
Xia thought about it and nodded: "To be more precise, unless you work together to make me lose my ability to move, Xiao Ai, what you said will never happen."
"yes……"
Aurora blinked her beautiful sky-blue eyes: "Although I don't want to admit it."
"But I only need to listen to what you, Char, told me in the Garden of Eden, about the past events between Miss Silvia and Her Majesty Isadella, and I will know—"
"They care about you, too."
"It is precisely because I care about you so much that I wanted to take you, Char, for myself just now, but I still endured it."
"After that dinner, before we returned from the Garden of Eden, Miss Sylvia clearly had the absolute upper hand in terms of strength, but she never relied on her status and strength to force you, Char, to do anything..."
"Because she's afraid that you'll be embarrassed and sad... She cares more about your feelings, Char, than Miss Sylvia's own desires and emotions."
The blonde girl lifted her hair and said, "It seems that I am still not as magnanimous as Miss Sylvia."
"I have never experienced these ten years, so I am more concerned about my own possessiveness than Sylvia, and I am at a disadvantage."
A faint smile appeared on Aurora's pretty face: "A so-called elegant and virtuous wife should have the confidence and composure to always be the first in the other person's heart."
My little Ai, where did you learn the way the queen speaks?
Xia couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart.
During the ten years in the Garden of Eden, Xia had nothing to do, so he used his spiritual power, which was now as vast as the ocean, to copy out all the books he had read in his previous life.
The types of books are extremely complex, including serious masterpieces, such as "The Count of Monte Cristo" and "The Three Musketeers"...
Of course, there are also some less serious pornographic books, such as "The Brave Abin" which is still on display on Su Lun's bookshelf.
There were even scripts of the Qiong Yao dramas that Xia Ya had watched when he was a child in his previous life.
God knows how many weird things his little wife saw during the ten years in the Garden of Eden.
Just then, Char heard the girl's voice sink slightly.
"but--"
"There are some things that cannot be compromised."
Crash——
The sound of slight flapping wings came from the end of the distant sky.
As soon as Char looked up, he saw the dusk outside the window that blocked out the sunlight and covered the entire sky.
Also, at the end of the sky, there was a huge crowned griffin breaking through the air.
On the broad back of the crowned griffin, the new empress of the empire, wearing a black and red military uniform, crossed her arms across her chest. The small mansion at No. 32 Jingui Street in the Black Lily District continued to grow larger in her beautiful red eyes.
Behind Isadella, the succubus princess in a pure white long dress was standing quietly by her side, holding down the hem of her skirt that was rising and falling with the wind from high above with both hands.
After a few breaths.
The crowned griffin landed in the courtyard of the mansion.
Isadella jumped down from the back of the crowned griffin, and Diris followed closely behind her.
She stretched out her white hand and snapped her fingers gently.
"Thank you for your hard work. Go back to the palace and pick me up tomorrow morning."
The next moment, the dark crowned griffin took off into the air and flew towards the direction of the palace.
While flying, this huge legendary crowned griffin would look back from time to time, and a hint of relief actually flashed in its ferocious eyes.
As Isadella's earliest pet, it is a very senior pet.
It knows quite a lot of inside information. The last time Isadella visited No. 32 Jingui Street, this crowned griffin followed her in the soul covenant space.
And this familiar place in front of me——
And there is the man that his master can't forget.
In addition, when Isadella asked her to go back, she hinted, "Come pick me up tomorrow morning."
In other words, I won't be going back to the palace tonight...
For a moment, the Crowned Griffin couldn't help but burst into tears.
Is the mistress of my family, who has been single for 10 to 30 years, finally going to find her partner?
…
Isadella and Diris entered Char's living room.
And at the same time.
Snap——
The frozen dusk shattered.
It is not the incarnation of spiritual power like the white cat before.
The one who arrived at this moment was the real Cang Yin Witch who came from the main tower of Bai Tower.
"Ms. Sylvia."
Isadella nodded to the Silver Witch beside her and sat down naturally on the sofa in the living room.
The last time the Lantern Festival came, she visited as a guest and had a simple meal prepared by Xia Ya.
But at this moment, the words and actions of the silver-haired queen were quite like the hostess of this mansion, with her calmness and majesty in a decisive manner.
She looked up and down the blonde girl in front of her with her beautiful red eyes.
Although she was no longer as sharp as before, Isadella could sense a subtle threat from Aurora that was enough to oppress her.
"As expected of the holder of the Holy Spear Lungominyad."
“In just ten years, it has come to this.”
Isadella placed her hands on her waist.
The holy sword that was about to move due to the resonance was suppressed, and the golden light gathered on the scabbard, as if it was about to reveal its true form at any time.
She looked at the expressionless blonde girl in front of her, crossed her arms, and spoke softly.
"So, what exactly is the card game that Miss Aurora invited us to participate in?"
Card game?
Char's confused thoughts had just arisen.
The next moment, he saw the stack of magic cards that Airola took out.
This made Xia's eyes shrink slightly.
He was very familiar with this thing, because this card game was designed by him and commissioned the Royal Book Society to distribute it.
As for the blueprint of this card game, it was naturally borrowed from a popular board game in the previous life.
However, he made many adjustments and localizations based on the current background of the Western Continent, and also engraved magical runes into many cards to ensure gorgeous special effects during card battles.
Games like Monopoly are also stitched in, adding elements of training and development.
It is said that after it was released by the Royal Bookstore, it became quite popular among many aristocratic classes, and Char and Aira would play a few games in their spare time in the Garden of Eden.
But I didn't expect that Xiao Ai would actually take out this thing at the party this time.
Although it is true that this thing was originally designed as a party game, Xiao Ai, aren't you afraid that your friendship will end after a few rounds?
"I can't help it. Xia Ya is such a greedy guy. He doesn't want anyone to miss him."
"And I like him so much that I don't even want to embarrass him..."
"If he fights for something he loves, he'll be sad—"
"Then, we can only compete through games."
Airola smiled faintly and distributed the initial hand of magic cards on the long table.
"As for the prizes for this game, they are as I mentioned earlier in the magical message to Her Majesty Isadella and Miss Sylvia."
Prizes for a card game?
How come I haven't heard of such a thing?
Also, what kind of prize could attract three throne-level beastmasters to pursue it?
Xia was slightly startled.
But, then.
He heard Isadella's voice not far away, with a hint of interest:
"Since Char has been struggling with this, no one can let him go."
"Then it would be a good idea to make the competition open and transparent, and let us decide the order and duration among ourselves."
These words came out.
In an instant, a strong smell of gunpowder filled the air.
Hearing those suggestive words and Isadela's burning gaze fixed on him.
In an instant, Char understood everything.
Wow, the prize is me.
Xiao Ai, ah Xiao Ai——
Are you selling out your boyfriend?
As the person involved, it is indeed very satisfying to be pushed forward by a beautiful girl, but doesn’t Char Eggot have any dignity?
He practiced hard in the Garden of Eden, just to return to the main material plane and then rebel against Tiangang, committing the crime of riding the king.
Now I am going to be ridden by you, what should I do with my family throne?
But this is Char's home, not the starry sky battlefield with the evil god.
Be it "Nuclear Explosion", "Shield of Divine Punishment", or the combination skill "Flowing Blade Like Fire. All Things Reduced to Ashes" that Silver and Red had worked hard to hone, none of them were useful at this moment.
At a time when Xiao Ai and Her Majesty the Queen were both determined and the atmosphere was tense—
Only Sylvia, who had never expressed her opinion, had a chance to save the situation.
However, when Xia looked at his first wife Xi Bao with anticipation.
However, he discovered that the beautiful silver eyes of the Lord of the White Tower were flashing with an unprecedented light.
It was the burning will to fight, and the awareness that no one else could do it but me.
Sylvia was holding an ancient book in her hand, which was slightly tilted so that Char could just read the contents.
The next moment, beautiful handwriting in light golden color slowly emerged on the diary.
"Char-nii-san once said, 'You have to protect your own love.'"
"It's natural for girls to do this."
Char:?
Char: I didn't say that.
