Inuyasha: My job stats have no limits.

He desperately wanted to become stronger... Only by standing at an absolute height could he support all his ambitions.

The ultimate goal of this ambition is to personally trample the Ice Queen under his feet.

Esdeath was fully aware of this intention.

However, there was no murderous intent or defensiveness between the two, and they never even considered eliminating the potential threat in advance.

The reason is simple: both of them are confident that they can be the winners of this game, so why rush to end it?

Rather than extinguishing the threat, they relish watching the other party struggle with all their might, yet still fail to reach them, and seeing that unwilling and powerless expression on their face.

Just thinking about it is enough to get me incredibly excited!

As for the others? They didn't even have the right to enter.

In Esdeath's eyes, everyone except Shirai was nothing more than an ant, unworthy of even a second glance from her.

"I heard from your people that the prince of the foreign tribe has begun to assemble his troops. As a general of the empire, don't you need to prepare something?"

Bai Lan lay down on the bed, found a comfortable corner, and quietly admired the towering, strange peaks.

This scale is simply a miracle.

However, upon hearing Bai Lan's words, Esdeath merely tilted her head slightly, revealing a rather arrogant expression.

"What do you take me for? Some ordinary general who can only win by sheer numbers and strategy?"

"The numbers and the Teigu users are meaningless... I alone am enough to annihilate the entire enemy army!"

"So-called war, so-called armies, are nothing but a means to satisfy my pleasure in crushing the enemy!"

"How arrogant!"

Bai Lan sighed with emotion. Esdeath was an absolutely pure person, and her whole being seemed to be the embodiment of war, ravage, and conquest.

"It's not arrogance, it's the truth."

Esdeath was not angered by Bai Lan's words.

"The essence of war is conquest and ravage, of course, this only applies to me. For the weak, it is a hellish inferno that one can barely enter by sacrificing their lives."

After saying that, Princess Esdeath carried Bai Lan and leisurely went to the bathroom. After a satisfying battle, she needed to wash off the dust and blood on her body.

As an Imperial General, Esdeath has every right to be proud; even in the military camp, she has her own private bathroom.

Bai Lan was somewhat surprised that there was a bathroom in the military camp, but Esdeath explained.

"Although many of the tools are not very powerful, they are not a difficult thing to use to build a bathroom."

That's not surprising at all!

Legend has it that there are forty-eight Imperial Arms and countless Imperial Arms, not to mention the many imitations of Imperial Arms and Imperial Arms, as well as so-called lost weapons, that have existed throughout history.

Compared to freezing time and space, using the power of a servant to build a bathroom is not surprising...

First, she stripped Bai Lan of her clothes, then Esdeath turned her back to Bai Lan and removed her tattered clothes, revealing her fair back and plump buttocks, before arranging her long, icy blue hair into a bun.

When she turned around.

Truly magnificent!

Bai Lan's eyes widened immediately.

"Hey bro, can I touch your magnificent pectoral muscles?"

"Oh?"

Esdeath stopped undressing and glanced at Bai Lan with her icy blue eyes: "So you like breasts? Just like the boys in the book."

"Sure, I can grant your request, but is this all you ask of me, the victor?"

-

After washing my body.

Esdeath, in a very familiar manner, hugged Bai Lan and fell onto the bed, her long, icy blue hair covering the entire bed.

Her languid demeanor suggested that she had already decided that Bai Lan would become a docile little puppy in her arms.

Bai Lan also enjoyed the service from Esdeath.

After all, no one in the entire capital city could be chosen to receive such treatment.

However, this time of enjoying each other's service did not last long, and the voices of guards could be heard outside the tent.

"General, the Northern Warriors have led their troops in a night raid..."

"Shut up!"

Esdeath rolled over, somewhat annoyed. How dare these guys interrupt her and the puppy's affectionate moment?

"Can..."

"Shut up! Be quiet! It's just some of our troops being wiped out. Don't make a scene like a virgin on her first night!"

The hesitant sounds outside dampened Esdeath's desire to cuddle with the newly captured puppy. She sat up decisively, her long, icy blue hair cascading down her snow-white back like a waterfall.

"I was planning to play with you guys a little longer... but since you've lost all interest in hiding, let's end this war."

She stood up, put on the pure white military coat, and strode out of the tent.

The moment she stepped out the door, she coldly ordered the guards on duty in the distance: "Pass on my order, prepare for a counterattack!"

Bai Lan didn't even glance at the farce outside, and went back to sleep.

In his view, the warriors of the North were unparalleled in bravery, but their eagerness to win had made them arrogant, and an arrogant army is bound to be defeated!

-

The next day, dawn broke.

Bai Lan stretched, the wounds she had sustained from being pierced by Esdeath yesterday had unknowingly healed.

Esdeath, who was beside him, did not return home all night, but that was none of Bai Lan's business.

He subconsciously raised his hand to brush his forehead, and his fingertips no longer touched yesterday's black hair, but that silvery white hair that flowed like moonlight.

As his hair color returned, the immense demonic power that had been dormant throughout his body overnight surged forth like a thawing river, filling his entire being and allowing him to exhale with satisfaction.

My period is over... and now it's at its peak!

"Now that my strength has been restored... it's time to try out the 'job system' of this world."

Bai Lan pondered for a moment, then turned her gaze toward the capital.

Playing a game of mutual conquest and ravaging with Esdeath is just a side quest this time.

Taking on more jobs, or even breaking through in one's current career, is of paramount importance... As long as one is strong enough, even 'Mahāpratimātra' is not impossible to break through.

Her clothes were torn in yesterday's battle, and after searching Esdeath's room, all they found was the shirt she had taken off yesterday.

The technology tree in this world is really strange. It's still in the era of the Cold Weapon Empire, yet it produces modern clothing like black stockings and white shirts.

However, this is not a question he should delve into right now.

He casually straightened his collar and walked out of the tent that symbolized the empire's strongest power.

Surprisingly, the area outside the military camp was deserted, with very few soldiers remaining.

It seems Esdeath has made up her mind to annihilate the alien race.

Time is running out...

I need to become stronger as soon as possible!

Otherwise, it would become Esdeath's exclusive cup again.

At that moment, the soldiers who remained behind were training or patrolling around the camp. When they saw Bai Lan walking out of Esdeath's camp wearing a pure white shirt that belonged to the general, everyone paused involuntarily.

No one stepped forward to stop them, or even asked them a question.

Esdeath treated her soldiers extremely well. Whether it was the rewards issued by the empire or the glory and military merits gained through war, she never took a penny for herself and distributed it all to her soldiers.

Therefore, Esdeath held immense authority within the Imperial Northern Legion.

Since the general did not order the man to be detained, they would not do anything unnecessary.

Only in the shadows of those hidden corners of the military camp.

A petite boy with dazzling blond hair and a face as delicate as a young girl was staring intently at Bai Lan's receding figure.

"Are you the one who has won the general's favor?"

"You ignorant fool, how could you, a border scum, possibly presume to steal the credit for pacifying the northern barbarians?"

"Only the Three Beast Warriors, no, that's not right... it should be only me, the great Lady Niu, born into a prestigious family, who is qualified!"

Chapter 73 I am not his mother

"General, the boy you brought back seems to have already left the military camp and headed towards the capital."

The smoke of battle had not yet dissipated, and Liva could still faintly hear the wails of foreign tribes coming from afar.

He didn't care about winning the war; after all, shouldn't victory be something they took for granted?

Therefore, compared to the trivial matter of war, he was more worried about General Esdeath, and cautiously said, "Having grown up on the border, venturing alone into a place like the capital... I'm afraid those nobles will devour him whole, leaving not even bones behind."

Esdeath sat on her horse, calmly watching the remaining enemies being swallowed by the ice and snow.

“Liva, you need to understand first that I am not his mother.”

"Secondly, my game of conquest with him won't last too long. Once this current war game comes to an end, it will be just the right time to lift the curtain on my game with him."

"General, you mean..."

"The capital city—this is his only chance. Even barren lands can produce beautiful flowers. I'm curious to see what sweet fruit he can reap from this struggle!"

Esdeath finally turned her head and looked towards the Imperial Capital, a hint of expectation in her icy blue eyes.

She doesn't mind personally cultivating a strong warrior and lover with whom she can fight to the death; she only cares about whether it's fun.

Just like how Esdeath, on a whim, let a high-ranking female general go.

Even knowing that the woman would turn around and join the resistance, becoming a sharp blade aimed at the heart of the empire, she didn't care at all.

For her, the survival of the empire and the betrayal of loyalty were nothing compared to the pleasure brought by that moment of "fun".
