Infinite Transmigration Starting from Violet

Because Violet was holding Lu Ye's clothes, and the way she did it so skillfully and naturally suggested that they had done it many times before, and perhaps even more intimate things were going on...

Thinking of this, Esdeath's initially good mood instantly turned sour.

Lu Ye went to the stall and handed the money to the vendor.

He then nodded to Esdeath as a greeting.

"Hello."

He wisely refrained from calling her "General." Judging from Esdeath's attire, anyone with a brain would know she was out having fun, akin to traveling incognito, and naturally she didn't want others to discover her identity... However, he still had to greet her.

After saying hello, he took Violet's hand and prepared to leave, without even asking the vendor for change.

The vendors remained silent, happy to get a bargain.

But Esdeath called out to Luye.

"Hey, you forgot your change."

"Really... Oh dear, my memory is really not very good. I'm sorry to have troubled you with what happened in the garden last time."

Lu Ye scratched his head apologetically as he got his change back from the vendor.

"Why are you walking in such a hurry? Could it be... that you're deliberately avoiding me?" Esdeath suddenly asked.

"No, no, how could that be? We're just in a bit of a rush."

Under Esdeath's powerful aura, Lu Ye stepped forward slightly to protect Violet.

Lu Ye felt a little uneasy.

He had inquired about Esdeath and knew that this woman was someone who wasn't particularly interested in anything other than war and conquest. She disliked power and money, and would casually distribute gold—enough to make even the rich envious—to the soldiers on the front lines.

She had an excellent figure and appearance, but her soldiers only had respect and awe for her.

This also demonstrates her strength from another perspective.

However, why would such a woman suddenly strike up a conversation with him?

Lu Ye didn't mean to belittle himself.

Generally speaking, reminding someone that they forgot to get change is considered a kind gesture.

On the other hand, it's not impossible for a general to visit and comfort his subordinates.

only……

It's worth noting that Lu Ye had previously barged into Esdeath's house without permission.

Such behavior would be considered "theft" by most people.

How could anyone greet a thief after seeing him?

Moreover, given Esdeath's status, what she wants is easy for her.

There's nothing about him that she should covet.

Although Lu Ye couldn't understand Esdeath's thoughts at first.

But after a moment's thought, Lu Ye guessed her intention.

Her target might be Violet!

Lu Ye saw it when he came over earlier.

Esdeath smiled at Violet.

To outsiders, Esdeath's radiant smile was so captivating that they wanted to capture the moment with a camera, frame the photo, and hang it on the ceiling above their bed in their bedroom. Seeing her smile every morning upon waking up would surely brighten their day.

But Lu Ye's heart pounded as he watched Esdeath chatting and laughing.

The last woman to treat Violet like that was Mine, that short girl with pink twin tails.

He glanced at the blonde girl beside him.

Violet is indeed very cute in every sense of the word; no one who meets her dislikes her.

All I can say is... there are just too many female concrete workers!

There's no reason why Lu Ye would think that way.

In the capital city, where news travels fast, all sorts of rumors circulate throughout the streets and alleys, ranging from royalty and nobility to commoners. Yet, none of these rumors have ever surfaced about Esdeath having a partner. This is somewhat unusual, because in this world, women reach marriageable age at sixteen.

Esdeath must be at least in her twenties, a little older than Lu Ye.

Even if her status makes it inconvenient for her to get married, if she is a normal person, she should still have some physiological needs.

For a general of the capital, getting whoever he wants is incredibly easy.

Esdeath has never been involved in any scandals with any men, and not even a single word of her has been leaked. All that is known about her illustrious military achievements and her clear-cut approach to rewards and punishments, combining kindness and severity, within the military.

So as time went on, the rumor that General Esdeath did not like men began to circulate quietly.

Lu Ye had been the captain of the garrison for some time now, and news from all over the capital would be passed to him through documents and files. Occasionally, he would hear news from who-knows-where, whether true or false.

Normally, I would just let it go in one ear and out the other, but when I remembered that scene from before, this news, whether true or false, stubbornly popped into my mind.

To be honest, Lu Ye wasn't sure.

But it's better to be safe than sorry.

What if Esdeath is the kind of person who likes to grind tofu?

I absolutely must protect Violet's... ugh... chastity!

"Are you in a hurry? But I remember you're on vacation today," Esdeath said calmly.

Lu Ye was taken aback upon hearing this.

How did Esdeath know that she was off today? Even if she's just wandering around the streets in her everyday clothes, isn't that the right of the Imperial Capital Garrison Captain to "go on an incognito visit"?

Seeing Lu Ye's slightly surprised expression, Esdeath, who had taken the initiative, finally smiled slightly. She had also seen Lu Ye's little action of protecting Violet earlier.

"Ah... actually, it's a limited-edition new product from the beverage shop near Flower Street. If you go too late, it'll be gone," Lu Ye said.

"Flower Street? Is it the shop called 'Hundred Flowers Fragrance'?" Esdeath asked.

"It seems so..."

"Oh, I know that store. It just closed down last week."

A moment of silence fell over the scene.

"Then I must have remembered the store name wrong... Um, it's getting late, I should go."

"Take care."

Unlike her previous gentle treatment of Violet, Esdeath's voice was now somewhat cold.

She clearly came specifically to find this guy, but Lu Ye treated her like she was avoiding a plague.

This greatly displeased Esdeath.

She had originally planned to be more polite and show her womanly side when she saw Lu Ye again, but when they met again, Lu Ye was accompanied by a girl whose appearance was no less than hers, and who seemed to be very dependent on him.

Coupled with Lu Ye's attitude of avoiding her at all costs, Esdeath's heart sank to the bottom.

Chapter 223 Victory Party

Lu Ye took Violet's hand and left, and she did not stop him.

Actually, she was quite satisfied with Lu Ye's performance just now.

The most important thing is the action of protecting Violet.

Esdeath could tell that it was an unconscious act, done without any thought.

Just like the knee-jerk reflex.

Protecting that girl has probably become an unconscious action for Lu Ye, hasn't it?

Thinking about this, Esdeath couldn't help but feel troubled.

Because, looking at herself, she hadn't managed to arouse Lu Ye's interest in the slightest.

This made her wonder if she, as a woman, was really that unattractive.

But she felt she shouldn't.

Although many people feared her, Esdeath could sometimes sense the men around her secretly casting glances at her.

This proves that her appearance is at least attractive to men.

She was not discouraged by this; instead, her desire to conquer was aroused.

The more Lu Ye resisted, the more she wanted to make Lu Ye her own.

It's like taming a horse.

The sense of accomplishment in taming a horse doesn't come from the moment you get on the horse, but from the instant you ride a wild, unruly horse that's hard to control.

At that moment, she confirmed her will.

Although she didn't know whether she liked Lu Ye or not.

But she was determined to make Lu Ye her own.

Even until the very end, Esdeath never revealed to Lu Ye that he was about to become a member of the "Hunter" team.

Esdeath's decision to have Lu Ye join the "Hunters" wasn't just because he was a Teigu user; another reason was that she wanted to confirm whether he was a suitable candidate for her spouse.

Suddenly, I felt a cold touch on my hand.

Esdeath looked down and saw a few drops of melted ice cream.

"Ah, it's melted."

She wants to be in a relationship.

Although she fell in love with Lu Ye at first sight, she was somewhat unsure of her own feelings, having never liked anyone before, which is why she wanted to recruit Lu Ye to her side.

She felt that this would allow her to be certain of her feelings.

However, she herself did not realize that when she came to find Lu Ye for this reason, she had already fallen into it, just like these few drops of melted ice cream.
