The midday sun finally managed to penetrate the heavy curtains on the third floor of the Fairy Palace, which were reinforced with multiple layers of fairy magic.

A sliver of light shone through the dimly lit carpet in the master bedroom.

The air in the room still seemed to retain the suffocating heat of last night.

Even the oversized custom-made bed, specially designed by Morgan with the dual concepts of "indestructibility" and "space folding," creaked under the weight.

"Hmm..."

A faint, hoarse groan escaped from the pile of silk bedding.

Luo Chen leaned against the headboard.

That perfect body, forged through countless trials by the Crimson Dragon Body and the Third Star Particle Body, showed no signs of fatigue.

His crimson-gold vertical pupils held a lazy smile as he glanced down at his predicament.

The twin demon sisters, Ram and Rem, who launched their "night raid" last night, are currently huddled together in a corner at the foot of the bed, embracing each other.

Even with the magical reshaping bestowed by Luo Chen, it's already a miracle that they haven't fainted yet, given their relatively fragile ghost race physiques.

"It seems last night's 'family meeting' really went a bit too far."

---

Push open the mahogany door of the first-floor restaurant.

A rich aroma of butter pancakes and seafood soup wafts over.

"Woof woof! My dear master! You're finally awake!"

The fox ears on Tamamo-no-Mae's head instantly stood straight up.

She held a porcelain bowl larger than a washbasin, and with a silky drift, she stopped in front of Luo Chen, her tail wagging so fast it almost left a blur.

"This is a 'Deep Sea All-Ingredient Tonic Dragon Bone Soup' specially brewed by a cat! I chose the top-grade monster skeleton I smuggled from the underworld yesterday and simmered it all night! It will definitely replenish all the calories and... well, all sorts of indescribable energy that my master has burned!"

"Thank you, but I don't need to replenish my energy."

Luo Chen smiled and ruffled Tamamo Cat's head, then took the bowl of fragrant soup and sat down in the main seat.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the restaurant was extremely bizarrely polarized.

On one side of the long table is the "Peaceful and Tranquil Life Group".

Emilia, wearing a light purple loungewear dress, was huddled together with Sister Elsa, quietly discussing a modern flower-growing magazine.

Although the half-elf girl still had a hint of the charming blush of a newlywed's blush at the corners of her eyes, she seemed much more relaxed without the oppression of that group of "wicked women".

Tiamat and the Infinite Dragon God Orpheus remained unchanged in their indifferent, stagnant state.

Tiamat held a pizza bigger than her face in her hand, making satisfied "Aaa~" sounds as she ate.

Orpheus stared blankly at the large plate of strawberry pudding in front of him, precisely and quickly "physically eliminating" it.

On the other side of the long table was the "chaotic group".

"Damn it! Why did I die again on this level?! What kind of lousy game is this? The judgment mechanism is definitely flawed!"

Ishtar slammed the game controller onto the carpet and angrily pointed at the large screen floating in mid-air.

On the screen, a pixelated figure has just been pierced by a spiky pillar and turned into a mosaic.

"That's because you're too stupid, you idiot goddess."

Mordred, with a sausage dangling from his mouth, sat cross-legged on the sofa, his hands rapidly pressing another controller.

"You can't even time your jump perfectly? Have you been a god for thousands of years for nothing? Watch me!"

With a flurry of dazzling maneuvers, the little red-clad figure on the screen nimbly navigated through various traps, successfully completing the level.

"Hahaha! Did you see that?! That's what you call a knight's intuition!"

Mo made a smug face at Ishtar.

"Don't get cocky! It was just an accident! Give me the controller, I want another round!"

Ishtar was so angry that her face turned red, and she lunged forward to grab the controller.

"No way! We just agreed that whoever loses has to wash the dishes for a week!"

"cough."

Luo Chen, holding the soup bowl, coughed softly.

The two people who were fighting over the controller froze instantly and turned their heads in unison.

"Luo...Luo Chen..."

When Ishtar saw his ambiguous smile, for some reason her mind suddenly replayed the embarrassing noises she had overheard outside the master bedroom on the third floor the night before.

Her delicate face flushed bright red instantly, and she even began to stutter.

"You...you...you finally gave up?! In broad daylight...shameless!"

"I don't think I said anything, did I?"

Luo Chen slowly took a sip of soup, his crimson-gold vertical pupils full of mockery.

"And if I remember correctly, a certain goddess of Venus seemed to linger outside my door for quite a while last night? What, did she want to come in and 'discuss' the mysteries of magic, but then backed out at the last minute?"

"Who, who deserted at the last minute?! I was just... I was just passing by! Going to the kitchen to get some water!"

Ishtar was instantly furious when she was exposed in public. She jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and her twin ponytails on her head were shaking wildly.

"I have no interest in going in! It's as noisy as a war zone inside, and this goddess doesn't have that kind of masochistic tendency!"

"Oh? Is that so?"

A languid and husky mature woman's voice came from the stairwell.

Everyone turned to look.

Scáthach wore a dark black fitted sweater and simple jeans.

Although she was dressed conservatively, the mature woman's charm that emanated from her very being could not be concealed.

"Since you don't care, then next time someone dares to eavesdrop outside the door, I'll just shoot the door and the person outside into the wall."

"you……"

Ishtar was speechless, choked by Scáthach's undisguised murderous aura. She could only sit back on the sofa indignantly, pick up an apple, and take a big bite.

With Scáthach's arrival, the other "participants" in the master bedroom also came down one after another.

Although Artoria tried her best to remain dignified, her slightly trembling legs and unnaturally reddened ears still betrayed her current state.

She walked to the dining table without saying a word, looked at the table full of delicious food, and for the first time ever, she did not immediately start eating. Instead, she quietly picked up a bowl of hot soup and sipped it slowly.

The Lion King, on the other hand, was much more composed.

She gracefully pulled out a chair and sat down, even nodding slightly to Luo Chen, her eyes revealing a mature charm that suggested she had tasted the sweetness of love.

"Good morning, Master. Last night's 'guidance' was very insightful. I will keep those techniques in mind and look forward to the next practical exercise."

"puff--!"

Artoria, who had just taken a sip of soup, spat it out and turned to stare incredulously at her other self.

"Lancer! What kind of indecent talk is that! How can you say such things at the dinner table!"

"It is a knight's duty to honestly respond to what his Master has bestowed upon him."

The Lion King remained unfazed.

"Alright, alright, let's not discuss these kinds of inappropriate topics while eating."

Luo Chen interrupted the two King Arthurs' daily bickering with a smile, and turned his gaze to Ram and Rem, who had just walked down to the first floor and were supporting each other.

The twin demon maids were in the most dire state at this moment.

Although Luo Chen had used magic to restore their strength, the weariness etched deep in their souls was clearly not something that could be eliminated in a short time.

"Ram, Rem."

Luo Chen said gently.

"You're all getting a day off today. No need to clean; go and rest after dinner."

"Lord Luo Chen..."

Ram forced himself to stand up straight.

Although those pink eyes held extreme shyness, they also revealed an undisguised fervor and unwavering loyalty.

"Ram and Rem are your personal maids. Serving you is our duty. Although we were indeed unable to last until the end last night due to exhaustion, please rest assured, we will definitely intensify our training and will never let you have a boring time!"

"My sister is right..."

Rem blushed and whispered in agreement, her light blue eyes filled with determination.

Luo Chen sighed and rubbed his forehead in exasperation.

The women in this mansion are all incredibly strong-willed. Do they even have to be so assertive in bed?

"Alright, let's eat first."

Luo Chen tapped the table, forcefully turning the page on this dangerous topic.

He glanced around the restaurant, which was filled with gods, witches, and knights, and a relaxed smile appeared on his lips.

"Now that everyone's awake, let's find some fun after we finish eating."

"Fun? Are we going to go kill some blind devil again?"

Mordred's eyes lit up, and he immediately tossed the game controller aside.

"No, we've made too much noise outside lately. Those three guys from Sazex are probably still trembling in the Demon King's castle."

Luo Chen picked up his coffee cup, a hint of languor flickering in his crimson-gold eyes.

"Such beautiful weather is rare these days. All this fighting and killing is so boring. Since you were playing games, Xiao Mo, let's have a long-awaited—'The First Fairy Palace E-sports Championship'!"

"Esports?!"

Ritsuka suddenly appeared from nowhere, and upon hearing that word, her DNA as a modern high school student instantly kicked in.

"Mr. Luo Chen! Do you want to play games? I'm good at that!"

Mashu also came over, holding her shield, her purple eyes filled with curiosity.

"Senior, what is esports? Is it some kind of Holy Grail War fought in a virtual space?"

"Pretty much, but no bloodshed, just speed and brains."

Luo Chen snapped his fingers.

【Fairy Magic: Space Transformation】

Morgan cooperated perfectly with his instructions.

The space in the center of the hall was instantly folded and expanded, and the original leather sofa was pushed back.

A gigantic holographic projection screen, taking up an entire wall, descended.

A dozen top-of-the-line game controllers and arcade joysticks are neatly arranged in front of the screen, and it is even equipped with a top-of-the-line VR experience pod.

"The rules are simple."

Luo Chen walked up to the gaming equipment and casually picked up a controller, tossing it to Mordred.

"Super Smash Bros., Mario Kart, and The King of Fighters '97. Best-of-three format."

"Whether you're a god or a heroic spirit, here everyone's physical abilities will be suppressed to the level of an ordinary human. You can only fight by relying on your reaction speed and understanding of the rules."

Luo Chen turned around, looked at the group of Servants who were already eager to try (or looked completely bewildered), and threw out the final reward.

"The ultimate winner... I can grant her one request. Any request. Even if it's just to go on a honeymoon with her alone in any world, I'll take it."

"boom--!!!"

The atmosphere in the entire hall changed instantly after those words were spoken.

If what was just now was a heartwarming everyday scene, then now, it is truly the prelude to "Ragnarok"!

"A honeymoon alone?"

Jeanne Alter's golden eyes instantly narrowed into slits.

She stared intently at the screen, the black flames in her hand suppressed, but her fighting spirit was almost bursting forth in a tangible form.

"This witch is determined to win! Anyone who dares to take it from me, I'll kill them back to level one in the game!"

"Heh, a game? Sounds like an interesting kind of magic calculation."

Morgan le Fay walked gracefully to a game console.

Although she had never even touched this thing, the Fairy Queen's pride would never allow her to admit defeat in this area.

"For the sake of my Master's promise... I must secure this victory!"

Artoria and the Lion King clenched their fists simultaneously.

Although they hadn't even distinguished the front and back of the handle yet, their competitive spirit as knights was already burning fiercely.

"Big sister, I'm not going to lose!"

Kukulkan rubbed his hands together excitedly.

"The essence of Lucha Libre is reaction speed, and it's the same in gaming!"

Even Orpheus, who had been sitting on the side in a daze, silently put down his pudding after hearing "any conditions" and slowly walked to a controller.

She uttered two words expressionlessly.

"I want... an unlimited supply of... desserts."

Seeing these top-tier powerhouses instantly transform into internet-addicted girls, exuding murderous intent, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu exchanged a glance and silently swallowed.

"Senior... I think it's better if we don't participate."

Mashu said in a low voice.

"I feel like if we accidentally win, we might be killed by everyone's stares..."

"Feel the same."

Ritsuka nodded frantically.

"Let's go help Tamamo-neko cut the watermelon."

Luo Chen leaned back on the sofa, watching his family members gritting their teeth at the screen over a "promise," and couldn't help but burst into hearty laughter.

"So..."

Luo Chen picked up his own controller, his crimson-gold vertical pupils flashing with a mischievous light.

"Game Start!"
