"So he's passed out here. No choice, I'll take Aslan back to his room first."
Karyou, her face flushed, helped Aslan to his feet.
"Huh?"
Leticia froze for a moment, about to say something, but was pulled back by Shiroyasha.
"Shh, don't interrupt this naughty kid's good fortune."
Shiroyasha gave a meaningful glance at Aslan, who was being supported by Karyou as they left.
"Ah, this naughty kid really hit the jackpot. Karyou-chan…"
Shiroyasha couldn't help but bite her handkerchief, looking mournfully at her "cabbage" being ravaged by a "pig."
Although she had anticipated this situation, why did her heart still ache when the scene unfolded before her eyes?
"Karyou…"
Leticia rolled her eyes at Shiroyasha, who had slipped into drama mode, with no desire to complain.
After all, Shiroyasha causing a scene in Arcadia wasn't a one-or-two-time occurrence. When Kurousagi first arrived at Arcadia, she was even more unhinged.
Leticia began cleaning up with Kurousagi.
"By the way, if Aslan and Karyou-chan have a daughter… Hehehe~~"
Hearing this, Leticia's hand paused. She instantly resolved that, no matter what, she absolutely couldn't let Aurora and the others appear in front of Shiroyasha.
Shiroyasha was already tempted by an unborn child. Imagine what she'd plan for twelve existing twins, each with distinct styles and personalities.
One could only imagine the schemes Shiroyasha would concoct.
"Kurousagi, I'll leave the rest to you. I'm going to find Master first."
Thinking of this, Leticia said to Kurousagi without hesitation.
"Mmm, Lady Leticia, go ahead. Leave this place to me."
Kurousagi nodded solemnly, working even harder to clean up the mess.
"Huh, Leticia?"
By the time Shiroyasha realized, Leticia had already vanished to who-knows-where.
"Forget it, I'll check out her other daughters later." Shiroyasha said with slight regret.
It could only be said that Leticia narrowly escaped danger.
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
Karyou gently laid Aslan on the bed and let out a sigh of relief. She turned to close the door, hesitated for a moment, then turned back and walked to his side.
"Hoo hoo~"
Listening to Aslan's steady breathing up close, Karyou examined him carefully and said with slight doubt,
"He's not really drunk, is he?"
By now, Karyou was much more sober. After all, though the wine was of decent quality, it wasn't at the level of divine wine that could intoxicate high-level gods and Buddhas.
Such wine was generally an extremely rare collectible. Only by ordering from the Wine Gods could one possibly obtain it.
The newly reborn Arcadia, aside from Shiroyasha, had no one with a drinking hobby, so naturally, they wouldn't have prepared such wine in advance.
Given Karyou's physique, it was normal for her to sober up after being drunk, as her body automatically recovered.
"Good if he's drunk."
Karyou reached out and patted Aslan's cheek. She felt relieved when she found no reaction from him.
"Wake up, wake up."
Just moments ago, she was drunk, her mind impulsive, and she brought Aslan back to her room. Now she was starting to regret it.
"Mmm, Sister Jade Face said a drunk man won't wake up at all."
"It's not that I didn't give you a chance. You didn't seize it yourself."
"So, Aslan, just rest well."
Karyou, her face red, quietly tucked Aslan in.
In her heart, she regretted listening to Jade Faced Fox, who said a good man must be seized and that she needed to be bolder.
Only when she was about to take that step did Karyou realize how hard it was.
She didn't want to be "injected" with the Golden-Hooped Rod. Just thinking about it was painful.
But while tucking him in, Karyou suddenly realized something. She looked up and met Aslan's meaningful gaze.
"You're awake?" Karyou forced a smile on her embarrassed face.
"Mmm, I think at this moment, I should be awake."
Aslan nodded, looking at her indescribably flushed face as he tucked her in.
Then he grasped her hand and looked at her seriously.
"I think I've seized this chance."
Karyou's ears turned red down to her neck. She quickly pulled her hand back, then, feeling her action was too suspicious, hurriedly returned it, pretending nothing had happened.
"No, you haven't…" Karyou said, a bit flustered.
"I've studied a bit of Chinese medicine. Your pulse right now shows you're drunk." Aslan said, looking at her spouting nonsense with a serious face while squeezing her hand.
Checking a pulse should at least be done at the wrist, right?
"Wrong. Based on your pulse reaction, Karyou, you're the one who's drunk."
Karyou was stunned for a moment. Looking at Aslan, she seemed to realize something.
She was indeed drunk. Then she nestled close to Aslan, closing her eyes tightly.
Her eyelids kept trembling, like a little girl waiting for a shot at the hospital.
Aslan blinked, looking at Karyou like this, and couldn't help but laugh.
"So, Karyou, are you ready for your sobering injection?"
"Huh… no… you can't…" Karyou looked at him with a horrified expression, but there was no real resistance.
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
(No, Sister Jade Face, this isn't what you said.)
Karyou, with a vacant gaze, looked at Aslan. She was truly terrified now.
How could someone be this strong?
Full, so full, not a single drop could fit anymore.
She even used the harvesting method taught by Jade Faced Fox, but it was still useless…
It seemed there was only one way now.
"Leticia, help me!!!"
Karyou might have initially thought Aslan had feelings for Leticia, and she might've been jealous or something. Now… she desperately hoped Aslan had feelings for Leticia.
Leticia, who was guarding the door, seemed to hear Karyou's voice. As soon as she opened the door, she regretted it.
"Sorry, I'm interrupting. I didn't see anything!"
Leticia's battle-hardened instincts frantically warned her of the danger inside. She almost instantly closed the door.
But then Leticia realized she seemed to have locked herself inside the room.
She couldn't escape now, even if she wanted to.
"Sorry, Teacher Leticia."
"Sorry, Leticia."
Aslan and Karyou looked at Leticia with deep regret.
Leticia sighed, then silently untied the ribbon in her hair. Her body returned to its original adult form.
(Consider this repaying Master's kindness.)
(After all, don't I belong to him too?)
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
The next morning.
Aslan looked at Leticia, who had already cleaned up the mess beside him.
And Karyou, who was resting on the bed.
Aslan suddenly felt the urge to smoke. But after rummaging through his collection for a long time, he only found candy that physically resembled a cigarette.
So, Aslan "smoked" the candy, glanced at Leticia and Karyou, and gave his assessment.
"Mediocre."
Leticia, standing nearby, felt the urge to hit someone upon hearing this.
(He took all the benefits and still says that?)
"Master, please move aside. You're in my way of cleaning." Leticia said coldly to Aslan. As a vampire, her recovery ability was far stronger than Karyou's.
Karyou was still asleep even now.
Then Aslan was kicked out of the room like trash.
He could only wander aimlessly around Arcadia.
Just a few steps later, Aslan felt a murderous gaze sweeping over him.
Curiously, Aslan turned his head toward the gaze and saw a kimono-clad girl gritting her teeth.
Shiroyasha.
Shiroyasha also caught Aslan's gaze. The next second, at a speed Aslan couldn't even react to, she climbed onto his body.
Her delicate nose twitched as she sniffed Aslan's body.
"Karyou-chan's aura… and Leticia's aura…" Shiroyasha said. The bitterness on her face was almost overflowing.
"You bastard, you deserve to die. You took Karyou-chan and Leticia's purity in one night."
Most importantly, both women had once been targeted by Shiroyasha. It could be said Aslan had stolen the people she fancied.
Damn it, NTR'd! NTR'd!
"How could you do this!" Shiroyasha shook Aslan's head vigorously, speaking angrily.
"If you don't hand over your twelve daughters today, don't expect to get away."
But Aslan, being shaken, glanced sideways and instinctively complained,
"Damn! There's a cow!"
"What cow? You stole mine, so I'll steal your daughters today!" Shiroyasha kept shaking Aslan's head, ignoring him.
"No, Boss, there really is a cow over there."
Aslan pointed to the grassy field outside. A skinny black old cow, its bones protruding, was grazing there.
He clearly remembered that Arcadia hadn't recently purchased any cow-like creatures, right?
"Hmm? Huh? Damn! Old Bull, how did you end up like this?"
Shiroyasha recognized who it was. It was Bull Demon King, who drank with them yesterday.
Just one night had passed—how did Bull Demon King end up like this?
As soon as Shiroyasha's words fell, the skinny black cow instantly transformed into a frail man with sunken eyes, completely different from the handsome and robust figure of yesterday.
If Aslan couldn't vaguely recognize him as yesterday's Bull Demon King, he'd even suspect this was an office worker who'd been pulling all-nighters for days.
"Big Brother Bull, what happened to you?"
