Durandal and Rita temporarily stayed in the guest room of the villa.

He was dissatisfied with the current number of rooms, as there were too few. When Ellie and Aquan came to visit, there wouldn't be enough room for them to sleep. It would have to be renovated into a large villa. But for now, he had to complete the task that the bishop had entrusted to him.

Durandal woke up very early...

She had finished her morning exercise and was quietly waiting for Mr. Xia Yuan and Rita to arrive at the farm.

Ever since the bishop heard about the bitter gourd that had broken through the heavens, he had been eager for Durandal to bring it back to the headquarters of Destiny.

"Mr. Xia Yuan, are we really going to present such a large bitter gourd to the bishop today?"

Durandal stood beside Xia Yuan, her gaze revealing a hint of complexity. She could feel the pollen spreading in the air. Was it really okay to bring this aphrodisiac bitter melon to the bishop?

Xia Yuan turned his head and gave Youlandel a sly smile.

"Of course, I'm sure His Holiness the Bishop will like it, after all, it was an order personally given by the other party." He couldn't wait to see His Holiness's expression after eating the bitter melon.

He patted the other person's bouncy little drum, reassuring Durandal that he would take responsibility for anything that happened.

Yulandel's face flushed red.

She felt that Mr. Xia Yuan was becoming bolder and bolder, but she didn't feel any repulsion. On the contrary, she looked forward to Mr. Xia Yuan continuing to pat her. What was wrong with her? Was it because of the pollen residue?

Durandal could only nod shyly.

If His Holiness the Bishop were to witness this scene, he would likely be speechless with astonishment, then use his camera to take several pictures to lure Siegfried out, exclaiming things like, "Look, your eldest daughter has found a boyfriend! She's finally made something of herself!"

The strongest Valkyrie in Destiny can actually show such a shy side.

Chapter 770 Your Excellency, please have some self-respect!

Durandal pulled the bitter gourd, which was almost as big as a small villa, directly out of the soil.

But the overall length still far exceeded her expectations.

"Thank you for your hard work, Dale. Now, use the slings to carry this bitter gourd up to the ship. I don't know if it can be placed on the deck." He waved to Rita, who was already in the ship's control room.

Xia Yuan carefully secured the bitter gourd to the sling to ensure it would not be damaged during transport.

Of course, he also prepared a gift for His Excellency the Bishop.

After half an hour of transport, the group arrived above the Schicksal headquarters. Before he could even summon any available Valkyries from Schicksal to assist him, Durandal single-handedly carried a bitter gourd the size of a small villa off the deck of the ship.

Xia Yuan broke out in a cold sweat.

He seemed to have underestimated Durandal's strength; it appears she held back yesterday.

After hearing the roar of the ship's engines, the bishop had already left her private office and was waiting in the hall for the giant bitter gourd she had been longing for. But when she saw the bitter gourd that Durandal had carried down, her mouth was agape with excitement.

"Wow, it's huge!"

This one bitter melon alone is enough for her to eat for half a year.

"Xia Yuan, this...this is the bitter melon you grew? How did you manage to grow such a big bitter melon?" Theresa's voice was filled with disbelief.

The plant culture solution alone cannot achieve this effect; she has used it before.

She thought it would only grow to about the same height as herself, but who knew it would become such a towering behemoth.

Seeing Theresa's shock, he smiled smugly. "Your Excellency, perhaps it's just that people's constitutions are different?" She wanted to punch him. His eyes were fixed on her; wasn't he just implying that she was short?

However, for the sake of this bitter gourd, she reluctantly forgave the other party this time.

After all, we will continue to rely on them to grow bitter melon in the future.

Bishop Theresa stepped forward and gently stroked the uneven surface of the bitter gourd. Her eyes were full of love and appreciation, and she nodded with satisfaction. "Not bad, not bad. This is the first time I've ever seen such a big bitter gourd."

"It's quite big, but I wonder what it tastes like inside..."

If Durandal and Xia Yuan weren't still here, she would have been itching to lie down and take a bite.

Xia Yuan smiled, having been waiting for the bishop to say those words.

He took out the bitter melon juice he had prepared for Theresa beforehand, but the other woman's surprise was yet to come. "Your Excellency, why don't you try it first? I can improve it later."

Seeing the bitter melon juice offered to her by the other person, Theresa looked at the other person curiously.

"Hmph, you're not so bad after all. Not bad, you've put your heart into it. You actually took the initiative this time." Theresa tiptoed and gently patted Xia Yuan's shoulder, signaling him to do a good job; she had high hopes for him.

Looking at the excessive levels of pollen in the bitter melon juice, Yulandel hesitated to speak.

Recalling that her adoptive father was still wanted by the bishop, her hand, which she wanted to use to stop him, fell to her side again. Once again, she failed to hold firm to her bottom line, but in order to prevent Mr. Xia Yuan from being punished by the bishop, she had no choice but to pretend that she had not seen anything.

He watched as the bishop downed the bitter melon juice in one gulp and smiled with satisfaction.

"Your Excellency, how are you feeling?"

Theresa seemed to be recalling, "The bitterness was authentic, and after tasting it, there was a faint, indescribable sweetness."

"I'm glad Your Excellency is pleased."

The way she looked at Xia Yuan made Theresa feel that his gaze was strange, but her gaze at Xia Yuan was also strange. She felt that there was a certain attraction about him that made her want to get closer. Was she sick?

But in order to maintain the bishop's dignity, she suppressed the absurd thought in her heart and said, "Ahem... This bishop has always been fair in rewarding and punishing. Since you have sown the bitter gourd for me, tell me, what reward do you want?"

"Your Excellency, I would like to see you at work."

"Ha, working? What's so interesting about that?" The other person actually wanted to see her grading documents. Who would want to watch her work for no reason? She herself didn't want to look at those pages of reports, but since the other person wanted to see it, she would let him.

There were actually very few confidential documents, which she had already prioritized and processed. Most of the work involved various trivial matters that required approval.

"Then come to my office. Durandal, go and put the bitter melon in the research institute for me. This bitter melon is so good, we can't let it spoil."

“Okay...okay, Bishop.”

She watched the bishop lead Mr. Xia Yuan to his office and could only silently wish him good luck.

Time slipped by quietly. She looked at Xia Yuan sitting quietly on the bitter gourd chair beside her and had an indescribable feeling. The other party actually sat so obediently on the bench. It was as if the sun had risen in the west.

Could it be that the other party is actually interested in these documents?

For some reason, she lost interest in the documents and instead became very interested in Xia Yuan sitting next to her. She even started pinching his cheeks, which became softer and softer, like a Houmu doll.

"Your Excellency, please have some self-respect."

"Hmph, what's with calling me Bishop? Am I that old? Why don't you just call me Magical Girl TeRiRi?"

Theresa instantly sobered up a bit, her face turning bright red. What was she saying? Why did she have to say her old cosplay name? It was so embarrassing!

"Bishop, if I remember correctly, you must be quite old by now, right?"

"What do you mean by 'a lot of age'! I'm only..." Suddenly realizing that she was old enough to be the other person's grandmother, her throat felt blocked, and she simply couldn't bring herself to speak.

"Hmph, I am a beautiful young woman!"

She went straight for it.

Her hands roamed over the other person's cheeks, the soft touch making her unable to pull away. But the other person tried to remove her hands, saying, "Hmph, you've caused me so much trouble. What's wrong with letting me touch you? It's not like I'll lose a piece of my flesh!"

Theresa bit her lip instinctively; how could she possibly say such a thing?

But Xia Yuan's allure to her at this moment was no less than that of Houmu and bitter melon juice, and even more so than that of the bitter melon juice on the table. With the powerful strength of an S-class Valkyrie, she easily pinned him down on the bitter melon bed.

Chapter 771 Have you missed Miss Pink Fairy?

She straddled his waist, her small hand inadvertently brushing against Xia Yuan's chest, as if it were the prelude to appreciation.

"Even if you are the Archbishop of Destiny, Theresa, you can't be so unreasonable, can you? If Duck and the others find out, Your Grace, you don't want them to discover that you suddenly pushed me down, do you?"

"Hmph, enough talk. I will do whatever I want."

Influenced by the bitter melon juice, the angry bishop simply silenced the other person with his lips.

With such delicious bitter melon right in front of her, how could she possibly share it with her students? Anyway, her students were always picky eaters and didn't like bitter melon, so she would just enjoy it without any hesitation.

broken--

Looking at the bishop lying on top of him, he felt like he had overfed him. He had only wanted to see the bishop make a fool of himself, but now things were developing in a direction he couldn't control.

While His Excellency the bishop was thoroughly enjoying the bitter melon named "Xia Yuan," praising it highly...

the other side.

Padofelis wasn't idle either.

Early in the morning, while everyone else was still asleep, they rushed to the Golden Courtyard.

She walked in shakily, heading straight for Alicia's pink room.

A few glistening tears welled up in her eyes, just to make it more realistic and to win Sister Ellie's sympathy. She even put a few drops of eye drops in, and that teary-eyed feeling came through immediately.

She decided to use this to create a little trouble for Xia Yuan.

"Waaah, Sister Aili, you don't know, Brother Xia Yuan, he..." Padofelis's voice was choked with sobs. Her eyes were red, as if she had just cried. Like a little wife who had been abandoned, she suddenly threw herself onto Aili's bed.

Ellie was sleeping sweetly with her keeper when a sudden cry startled her awake.

She groggily opened her eyes and saw Padofelis kneeling beside her bed, her eyes blurry with tears and looking broken. She quickly comforted her, her eyes filled with concern.

"Phyllis, what's wrong? Don't cry. Miss Pink Fairy can't stand seeing others cry."

"Waaaaah, Sister Aili, you have to stand up for Pado... Brother Xia Yuan, he, he, bullied me!" Her voice was tinged with grief and indignation.

"Hmm? What did Xia Yuan do?"

Upon hearing about her zookeeper, the pink fairy's gossipy nature ignited. She immediately sat up, clutching her fairy Ellie plush toy, practically ready to grab a popcorn.

She loves to hear you explain in detail.

Padofelis sobbed, her voice broken and intermittent.

“Ever since I got to Xia Yuan’s place, none of the promised benefits have materialized. Not only have I been made to work on the farm, but I’ve also been made to mine in the mine. They’re always making me do this and that, never considering how hard I work. I’ve been working hard all day without complaint, and I haven’t even had a decent dinner. Sister Ai Li, you have to stand up for us!”

"What?! Xia Yuan actually dared to do this?! This is outrageous! Miss Pink Fairy will go and get justice for you!"

Of course she could tell that Little Paddo was faking it.

Such acting skills couldn't fool her; to be precise, she had used this trick on Möbius a long time ago.

But she still cooperated with Padofelis's performance.

Wearing her pajamas, Alicia stood up from the bed. "Phyllis, don't worry, Miss Pink Fairy will go and get justice for you and make Xia Yuan give you an explanation."

"Sobbing, Sister Aili, you're so good to us."

Padofelis was so moved she almost kowtowed to the other person, but she was still a little uneasy.

She knew that Xia Yuan hadn't really bullied her; it was just a prank she played on a whim. Besides, Ai Li had always been by Xia Yuan's side. Would Ai Li really stand up for her?

After leaving the Golden Courtyard, Padofelis followed behind Alicia, but her right eyelid kept twitching.

I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing.

On the other hand, Xia Yuan's side...

His bitter gourd was saved at the last moment. Rita arrived in time and lifted the bishop off his body. Even so, the bishop was still so adorable in the maid's eyes.

Of course, she now has someone she likes more.

"Phew, I put too much pollen in the bitter melon juice. I'm saved! If it weren't for Rita, you arrived in time, the bishop would have smashed me with Judas once he recovered."

“Protecting the safety of my master is Rita’s duty, and even the bishop is no exception.”

"Rita, put me down! Give me bitter melon, I want bitter melon!"

She looked fondly at the bishop who was still waving his little hands, making a ruckus, and being noisy in her arms, but her hands moved very nimbly. "Please, Your Excellency, take a good rest."

After being knocked unconscious by the maid with a hand chop, Theresa fell into a coma.

Unexpectedly, the suggestion I made to Lady Durandal back then has come in handy at this moment.

But then...

The moment Rita straddled him, Xia Yuan felt a jolt.

The maid's actions made Xia Yuan realize that Rita didn't seem to be there to save him, but rather to exploit him, only now it was a more skilled person instead of the bishop.

Several hours later—

To prevent the bishop from waking up and settling scores later, Xia Yuan and Rita secretly piloted the ship back to the farm.

After settling the satisfied maid, he sat in his private office as a rancher, clutching his slightly aching back, and tallied the total crystal production from the mine over the past few days.

"Hmm? Little Paddo didn't go to the mine today?"

[Padoflis: Absent]

Looking at today's check-in record, Xia Yuan was somewhat puzzled.
