Hello, is this a letter addressed to Demon Fortress?

Sunlight streamed through the post office window, illuminating the wooden counter.

Eve was standing behind the counter, playing the role of the shopkeeper.

She skillfully sorted through the few letters.

Occasionally, curious children would peek over the counter.

Eve would smile gently at them.

Gently remind them not to knock over the ink bottle next to them.

The children ran off laughing and playing, chasing and frolicking in the post office.

Eve wasn't annoyed; she just watched with a smile.

Make sure they don't bump into anything.

Wait until the children are tired from playing and then run outside.

She then took out a thick ancient book from the drawer.

I quietly began to read it, bathed in sunlight.

Just then.

The door leading to the basement was pushed open.

Shea carried the unconscious Lin Gui on her back and walked up with some difficulty.

Eve looked up at the sound and her gaze fell on the figure that was tightly bound on her back.

And in the posture of the two people being closely connected.

She paused slightly, a clear look of confusion on her face.

"Sia?"

"Why...did you bring him up here?"

"Still strapped to your body like this?"

Xia sighed and bounced Lin Gui up a little.

"Don't even mention it."

"I almost let him get away just now."

"I was thinking he'd be hungry when he woke up."

"I wanted to kindly bring him some breakfast..."

"And just then, we saw him break free of the ropes and try to run away with his staff."

A hint of surprise flashed in Eve's purple eyes.

"He broke free?"

"Those ropes...can he break free?"

She suddenly realized something, and her gaze became somewhat strange.

His gaze lingered between the ghost on Shia's back and Shia's legs.

"Then bring him up..."

"Is it... already 'over'?"

Her tone carried a subtle, tentative undertone.

Shia's face flushed instantly.

"N-No, that's not true!"

She quickly shook her head, her silver hair swaying with it.

"We haven't even started yet, and we've run into trouble."

She bit her lip and looked at Eve.

His eyes held a hint of embarrassment, yet also a touch of pleading.

"Eve..."

"Can I ask you for a favor?"

Eve closed the book in her hand, her expression softening.

She walked over to Shia and gently patted her shoulder.

Between us, is there any need for me to 'ask'?

"Tell me, what do you need me to do?"

Shea and Eve hadn't known each other for very long.

But Eve could clearly feel the meticulous care that Shia took for her.

Whenever they cross a dangerous area, Shia always instinctively protects Eve behind her.

On the bumpy airship, Shia would secretly exchange her softer dry rations for hers.

If you think something is delicious, share it with her first.

This care is not just politeness, but an almost instinctive, familial concern.

It seems... it all started from that time.

It started after Eve half-jokingly and half-tentatively admitted that she "admired Lin Gui".

After that, the last trace of wariness in Shia's eyes disappeared.

Instead, there is a warmer and more open intimacy.

It's like that declaration.

Instead of creating a barrier, it led Shia to include her in the category of "one of their own."

They're not rivals in love, they're family.

Eve is a monogamous woman.

In her past understanding.

Almost no girl would willingly share her beloved boy with someone else.

Including Eve herself.

However, her destiny had long ago deprived her of the right to love.

Koshia seems... completely different.

Far from being opposed, she was actually somewhat...enthusiastic about it?

He even hopes that more girls will like Lin Gui and then become "family" because of it.

Eve has seen far too many cases of polygamy.

In the city-state era, this was mostly out of necessity.

Women from lower social classes depend on the strong for survival.

Noblewomen accepted arranged marriages to share a husband for the sake of their family's interests.

They also have the ability to unite and exploit each other without any emotional involvement.

For example, there was the cowardly princess who had helped her drug Lin Gui, whom Xia had once complained about.

Elvia.

But like Shea.

Actively, eagerly, and even with a certain naive expectation.

I want to "share" my one and only love.

This was the first time Eve had ever met her.

However, when Eve recalls Shea's half-demon identity.

Thinking back to those years when she was rejected by the whole world and wandered alone...

She seemed to understand again.

A person who has never had a "home" and is regarded as an outsider and ostracized by everyone.

Perhaps more than anyone else, they crave "connection".

They crave the warmth and security of being surrounded by "their own people".

For Shia, "love" may not be about possessiveness.

Rather, it's about "having a world that won't abandon you."

Actually, compared to Shia, Lin Gui is the one Eve truly can't understand.

She could see that Lin Gui cared about and liked Xia Ya.

That was a silent protection, an unconscious favoritism.

Putting aside her half-demon identity, Shia is such a beautiful and dazzling elf.

Eve believed that no normal man would refuse.

result……

Lin Gui rejected Xia's almost blatant declaration of love through his actions.

This forced Shia to "force" him to stay silent.

He actually tried to run away?

The strangest thing is that Eve remembers Princess Elvia.

It seems that forcing the issue has failed, and there's no way to get away with paying extra.

And in Eve's fragmented future.

She had glimpsed some blurry images.

Lin Gui's figure will be entangled with many women of different races in the future.

There are mysterious fox spirits, elegant mermaid songstresses, and even proud vampires...

But without exception.

It was almost always the women who took the initiative to approach, pester, or even scheme against them.

As for Lin Gui himself...

It's as if they're just standing there passively forever.

Like a silent magnet.

It attracts moths, but never moves an inch itself.

This contradictory yet unique personality.

This aroused Eve's inexplicable curiosity.

My heart... feels a little itchy.

Eve knew that this was probably due to a long-suppressed vanity.

What was originally just an object of admiration and observation has become so "hot".

A subtle urge to "take the initiative" quietly began to grow.

Then you can show those outstanding women your superiority as a "winner".

Just like the boys in the magic academy.

They consider "winning over the saint Eve" to be the highest honor.

And now.

"Take down the seemingly ordinary little mage, Lin Gui."

It seems to have become a kind of secret "conquest game" among outstanding women.

Recalling what Shia had said to her privately a week ago:

"Eve, this might be your only chance."

"Given Lin Gui's personality, he will only become more vigilant from now on."

"It's probably going to be difficult to have such an opportunity again..."

Eve's gaze slowly fell on the face of Lin Gui, who was lying unconscious on Shia's back.

That curiosity was mixed with a subtle competitive spirit.

It gently tickled her heart.

She then forcefully suppressed the slight itch.

No.

She won't have much involvement with Mr. Lin Gui.

Even if the other person is indeed someone she admires.

This is a vision of "the possible future ghost of the forest".

After witnessing his calmness, strategy, and contradictions along the way.

It has indeed become more concentrated.

So concentrated...

Looking at Shia, who was about to have a real relationship with Lin Gui.

A tiny, almost imperceptible pang of jealousy actually stirred within Eve.

And, more, deeper, helpless blessings.

As long as Valhalla still exists.

Death was her inevitable future.

She cannot have a "future," let alone hope for "companionship."

So, that's all she can do.

He was Shea's best friend.

Offer your blessings and help.

After completely calming the ripples in her heart, Eve's smile became gentle and firm again.

She looked at Xia, who seemed somewhat embarrassed and at a loss, and said softly:

"Sia, no matter what, I'll help you."

"Don't worry, you can speak freely."

Shea visibly breathed a sigh of relief, but her face flushed even more.

Her eyes darted around, and her voice was barely audible.

"Um, well, cough cough..."

"So...you mean...how to have a baby with Lin Gui...um...?"

Eve's gentle and encouraging smile froze instantly.

She blinked her mysterious purple eyes.

Her long eyelashes trembled.

The brain seemed to completely stop processing information at that moment.

"Does this... even need to be taught?"

In fact, Eve's subsequent actions proved the necessity of the physiology class.

Eve took a deep breath, turned around, and carefully closed the doors and windows of the post office.

A wooden sign that reads "Temporarily Closed" was hung up.

They then followed Shia back to the basement.

Shea carefully placed the unconscious Lin Gui back onto the bed.

Then, tie it securely with a rope.

Still not very confident, she thought for a moment and used duct tape to seal Lin Gui's mouth.

Mages need to chant to cast spells.

Even if Lin Gui can cast spells without chanting, he should still be able to hinder them for a while.

Shea thought to herself, not very confidently.

Never mind, let Eve cast the barrier later.

With the barrier in place, the fat meat that's already in our mouths shouldn't fly away.

After everything is prepared.

The two stood by the bed, looking at the unconscious man on it.

The atmosphere became somewhat tense for a moment.

Shea reached out and touched the collar of Lin Gui's robe with her fingertips.

But then it recoiled as if it had been burned.

She turned to look at Eve, her bloodshot eyes filled with helplessness about "what to do next".

Eve also fell silent.

She tried to search her memory.

She was chosen as a saint from childhood and was required to maintain "purity" in body and mind.

It seems... that I have never come into contact with any specific "knowledge" in this area.

Most of their physiological knowledge seems to come from those rogue nobles, scoundrel students, and nuns with black marks who have broken the precepts.

I overheard some gossip from other people.

But looking into Shia's pure and expectant eyes...

Eve took a soft breath.

I decided to bite the bullet and go for it.

"first……"

She tried to make her voice sound calm and persuasive.

"You should change your clothes... into pajamas first."

Shia nodded subconsciously: "Mm."

Then it dawned on him: "...Huh???"

She stared wide-eyed at Eve: "Pajamas?? You still need those?"

Eve tried to maintain a calm expression and pondered for a moment.

Then he nodded solemnly:

"right."

Her tone carried an almost academic seriousness:

Neat and comfortable clothing helps... um... create an atmosphere.

"After that," Eve continued, trying to piece together the fragmented pieces of information she had heard.

"You... need to lie in Mr. Lin Gui's arms."

Shia tilted her head, her blood-red eyes filled with confusion.

"Um... how do I 'lie down'?"

Eve closed her eyes, her brows furrowed slightly, as if she were struggling to recall a vague memory.

"I remember... Sister Agatha once sneaked out on a date and came back..."

"She described it to me, in order to... well... 'arouse men's desire'."

"You need to hug in a specific way."

She stretched out her hand and awkwardly gestured for her name.

"Keep your body as close as possible, and wrap your arms around the other person's neck or back."

"You can rest your head on his shoulder, or... bury it in his chest."

"Breathe softly, but make sure he can feel it."

"..."

Her description was delivered with a stiff, rote manner, accompanied by gestures, making it appear both earnest and comical.

Shia's lips twitched involuntarily.

"And then what?"

Eve opened her eyes and nodded with unwavering certainty, as if stating an irrefutable truth:

"Then, Mr. Lin Gui will pounce on you like a wolf."

"The rest... will happen naturally."

Shea fell silent.

She slowly raised her hand and pointed to the man on the bed whose cheeks were swollen and whose breathing was steady; he was clearly still in a deep coma.

"But……"

Her voice was filled with helplessness and a sense of absurdity.

"I've knocked him unconscious."

The problem is... I fainted.

Shea does know something about "that kind of thing".

But the prerequisite is that both parties must be conscious and responsive.

Kelin Gui was knocked unconscious by her punch.

That's exactly what she wanted to know.

How can it be done while the other person is unconscious?

In "The Overbearing Dragon's Little Wife," the princess is also tricked and ends up having sex with the sleeping dragon.

The problem is, how do you give that sleeping guy to that person?

Shea didn't want to do *that* when Lin Gui woke up.

He will definitely resist, and that will make Xia very sad.

A beautiful and charming young girl was actually rejected.

Woo woo woo.

Seeing Eve's interest, Shia knew that the Saintess was probably even less capable than her.

But looking at Eve's unusually serious, even somewhat "academic" demeanor...

For some inexplicable reason, Xia also got a little "hooked up".

Helpless, she could only silently comfort herself:

Maybe... humans just have this special process?

Let's do as she says first.

Just as the "teaching" in the basement was taking a bizarre turn.

the other side.

The morning sun had just dispelled the night fog.

Morpheus walked alone on the quiet streets of Avalon.

His steps were heavier than usual.

Deep within his blood-red eyes lay a heavy, unyielding somberness.

The unusually frequent fluctuations of the Demon King Pillar last night struck him like an alarm bell.

Lord Guxin's condition is probably worse than expected.

Time is really running out.

He walked through the gradually awakening streets and finally stopped in front of the three-story building with a sign that read "7 Copper Coin Post Office".

The wooden door was tightly closed, and a sign that read "Temporarily Closed" was hanging on it.

Morpheus raised his hand and hovered it in front of the door.

He hesitated for a moment.

In the end, I still knocked.

"Knock, knock, knock."
