“Oh right, you don’t want this, do you?” Lu Ye picked up the pile of chocolate wafers in the corner. “Then I’ll take it home to feed A-Tui. She’ll definitely like it.”
After Lu Ye left, Xiao Bai's aggrieved expression gradually calmed down.
She opened her palm, and a circular phantom with strange runes on its surface appeared in her palm. Its surface was broken, with cracks and traces of peeling shell, but some large fragments were pieced back together.
"Retirement..." Xiaobai sighed, "Don't worry, no matter what, I'll be with you."
…………
Shortly after returning home, Lu Ye picked up A Tui and the others.
To celebrate the victory of this "expedition", the family is preparing to hold a celebration party.
So Icarus and Leone spent the whole afternoon busy in the kitchen, while Violet warmly entertained Ame and Melina. Even Marika was summoned by Ame using his summoning bell.
A-Tui stared wide-eyed at everything before her, finally realizing that what Lu Ye had said was true. Smarag and Yakir had also clearly shown interest in the place.
Melina went out on her own not long after, as she was very curious about this new world and wanted to see how the creatures here lived.
However, since they couldn't become spirits once they stepped out of the house, Leone ended up taking Melina out to change her clothes and promising to come back in two hours.
By dinner time, Nymph, Astraea, and Chaos were also brought back by Icarus at Mach 24.
Lu Ye originally wanted Michaela, Blaze, Teacher Seren, Black Knife, Alexander, and others to come over. The house could accommodate so many people; back then, so many heretics had a lot of fun.
However, after thinking about it, Lu Ye decided to invite them over again later. After all, the border area had just regained its freedom and was in need of rebuilding. They still needed manpower to maintain order and stability for all parties.
The celebration banquet went very smoothly, and almost all the prepared dishes were devoured.
Agil and Smarag drank too much and soon fell asleep drunk on the sofa, their tails still wagging. In the end, Astraea and Chaos had to take the two dragon girls, who were over two meters tall, back to their room.
A-Tui and Melina also went to the West Wing to rest.
At night, Lu Ye finished washing up and went to bed.
The moonlight was bright outside the window, and the sound of running water could be heard from inside the bathroom. Behind the steamy door, there was a graceful figure.
Lu Ye lay on the bed, looking at the wall clock, silently counting down.
When the hour, minute, and second hands all coincided at twelve o'clock, a blue information box suddenly popped up in front of Lu Ye's eyes. It had an email icon and a prominent exclamation mark, as if it had an alluring magic.
Lu Ye opened the email with his eyes, and a line of blue text popped up.

Looking at the last reward, Lu Ye fell silent.
Just then, Violet came out of the bathroom.
She hugged Lu Ye tightly, and before long, Lu Ye was enveloped in a sweet and tender embrace.
After an unknown amount of time, the girl had fallen into a deep sleep.
Lu Ye placed a blanket on the wet sheets, then put Violet on top, and finally covered her with the blanket.
Perhaps it's because their energy and physical strength have greatly improved.
As Lu Ye thought this, he walked towards the door to get some fresh air, otherwise the alluring smell in the room would soon make him feel "Seven Star Entertainment" again.
But the moment he opened the door, he froze.
Because Esdeath, Icarus, Leone, Astraea, and Nymph are all here!
"If you've satisfied that child, shouldn't you at least feed us?" Esdeath licked her cherry-colored lips.
Ok.
Looking at the group of women before him, Lu Ye had no choice but to retract his earlier statement.
This reward isn't very important, but it can at least serve a supporting purpose...
Next...
Let's verify it.
Chapter 699 Isshin Ashina's Wish
More than two months later.
On Saturday afternoon, Lu Ye woke up in her room. Snowflakes were falling outside the window, and the forest on the mountain was covered in a blanket of white.
Unlike the snow-covered outside, the indoor temperature was quite warm, warm enough to comfortably run around in short sleeves. However, the long corridor connecting the east and west buildings lacked heating to ensure proper ventilation. The living rooms, on the other hand, were perfectly comfortable.
Lu Ye glanced at Violet and Esdeath sleeping soundly beside him, turned over, picked up his phone from the bedside table, and started browsing forums and online communities, while also wondering if he had been living too decadently for the past two months.
Every day, besides eating and sleeping, he did nothing but have sex. From Monday to Saturday, he spent almost every week like this. Esdeath would occasionally spar with Lu Ye in swordsmanship. However, thanks to this, Lu Ye burned a lot of calories, so much so that in the past two months, he not only didn't gain weight but actually lost more than a pound. The muscles in his waist and thighs also felt much firmer, making him stronger with each battle.
This was evident in Esdeath, who was fast asleep. As a "minor character," her stamina had been completely exhausted by Lu Ye, and in the end, she was the one who had to beg for mercy.
Lu Ye has also been reflecting on himself these days.
Lu Ye, Lu Ye, how could you fall so low?
But every night, I still don't sleep very well.
This is unavoidable; Icarus, Esdeath, Nymph, Astraea, and even Ame, etc...
Although they are not rabbits, and are not always on high alert, there is only one target for each of them.
Today it's Icarus, tomorrow Esdeath, the day after Astraea... Everyone took turns firing. If the target hadn't been sturdy and durable, it would have been reduced to ashes long ago. Especially after receiving the reward of 'Spring Night', it eventually even evolved into impromptu... This is all thanks to the day they returned, which set a precedent.
I was scrolling through my phone while lying on my side, and I felt a little tired.
Lu Ye tried to roll over, but halfway over the charging cable was too short, so she rolled back over and came across some videos about how men in a certain country can only retire in their sixties.
This made Lu Ye realize how lucky he was.
A person's life is only a few decades long. After graduating and starting work at the age of twenty, one becomes a small cog in the huge machine called "society". For the next few decades, daytime hours will be taken away by work in exchange for the capital to survive.
I'm not trying to criticize anything. Some people say they envy animals every day, but animals also need to hunt, which is a kind of work. Even if a person doesn't work, they can beg online or be homeless and won't starve to death. It's much more comfortable than being an animal.
He simply remarked that he was now able to "retire".
The rewards received this time are quite generous for life in the main world.
Not only that, last month, Reed and Winnie... that is, the Heretics, discovered a gold mine while expanding their settlement! The Heretics only mined a small portion to exchange for survival supplies, after all, they had to avoid arousing suspicion from outsiders who might want to kill them for their money. They mined a lot of the rest and transported it to Lu Ye. In their words, it was for lodging, food, and clothing expenses... Simply put, they transported the gold to Lu Ye, asking him to help them exchange it for the supplies they needed, and the rest was their payment.
Although Lu Ye had mentioned the value of the gold, Reed and the others were just drinking in the living room, and he patted him on the shoulder with a hearty laugh: "Brother, nothing is more precious than freedom. We're just happy that these things can help you."
"As long as you ask, we'll go dig. Consider it exercise, but you'll have to prepare some fine wine and good food to reward us!" Spider Woman Lanie laughed.
In other words, after the initial 500, it's like having another gold mine in the house.
At first, Lu Ye was a little troubled.
After all, this thing is a bit tricky because its origin is unclear and it's dangerous. Even if it turns out to be something that wasn't obtained illegally, it could still be confiscated.
But who would have thought that the "financial management strategy" attached to the previous 500 million reward would change at this moment, including this gold in the scope, and detailing how to convert it into completely compliant assets in a correct and legal way.
As Xiaobai suggested, after obtaining two more fragments and solving the problem of preventing the main world from being eroded again, Lu Ye planned to enjoy himself for seven or eight years. When the time was right, he would have children with Violet and the others, and live out his life happily and peacefully.
Thinking of this, Lu Ye put down his phone, put his arm around the girl's slender waist, and planned to sleep a little longer with Violet in his arms.
Violet then turned around and opened her sea-blue eyes.
"Um... Good morning."
“It’s only afternoon,” Lu Ye said.
"Hehe!" The girl, who had just woken up, noticed the arms wrapped around her waist and hugged Lu Ye back.
"Huh? What's wrong? Why are you grinning like an idiot?"
“Because today isn’t over yet, we’ve spent even more time together!” Violet laughed.
Lu Ye was taken aback.
He immediately understood Violet's meaning, and then tightened his grip slightly.
Violet, who was in his arms, also looked up at Lu Ye.
From this angle, with this look in her eyes, she's like a newborn fawn that can't even stand up straight yet, making you want to pity her, but also want to tease her.
Lu Ye thought...maybe it's time to do it again?
After all, pity and bullying... these two words are not contradictory in certain specific situations and contexts.
Just then, Violet's stomach rumbled at an inopportune moment.
That makes sense; the previous "battles" had been too physically demanding.
"I'm hungry," Violet said, getting up to go to the kitchen.
However, Lu Ye stopped her.
"I'll go, I'm a little hungry too. Keep an eye on Esdeath, don't let the Queen kick off the covers again."
"Good~"
Lu Ye stepped out of the room, and only Icarus, Leone, Akame, and Kurome were in the hall. The Akame and Kurome sisters had come to choose rooms; some members of the Night Raid team had come several times before.
The capital city is now back on track. While Lubbock, Hill, and Mine initially enjoyed a life of universal admiration, they eventually felt the treatment was too enthusiastic. Even Mine found it unbearable and decided to come to Lu Ye's place to lay low and gradually fade from public view. Akame and Kurome were recuperating in the countryside, and Kurome's condition had stabilized. However, Akame gradually discovered that Kurome's body still seemed to have some residual toxins. Therefore, Akame decided to come with her companions to completely cure Kurome's illness and stay there for a while to recuperate.
