Together
"No, what are you doing...?"
Even Li Yan, who had lived through hundreds of years and seen countless grand scenes, couldn't help but stutter a little. "A exhausted warrior has been delivered to my bed like this?"
The servant, with a knowing look on his face, slowly spoke, "Don't worry, sir, everything is going according to your orders. The Hero of the South has been drugged."
"Ah?"
Li Yan's eyes widened. When had he given such an order? He had only said that he was very satisfied with the Hero of the South and asked the Lionheart King to find a way to keep him in the Royal Capital and then bring him to see him.
Although I said I'd bring her to see him, there was no need to bring her like this. He really doesn't like that kind of thing. If it were a female Hero of the South, he might actually... no, he's not that kind of person.
"What's wrong, senior brother? I could hear your shocked voice from far away."
Frieren rubbed her sleepy eyes, yawned, and slowly walked over.
"Uh... in my... room..."
Seeing Frieren approaching, Li Yan looked around, glancing at the Hero of the South in the room and then at Frieren. If Frieren saw what was happening in the room, his life would be ruined.
"Uh, it's nothing. I was just surprised to find a mouse in the room, haha."
Li Yan chuckled and scratched his head, using his body to block Frieren from walking towards him.
"A rat? Really? I didn't expect there to be rats living so high up. I want to see them."
Frieren peeked out curiously, wanting to see Li Yan's room.
"No, no, no, the rat is filthy, don't let it pollute my precious Junior Sister's eyes. Hey you, can you clean it up? I'll take my Junior Sister to see the stars tonight."
Li Yan nudged Frieren's shoulder, pushing her out of her room, and gestured to the servant to handle the situation.
Although she was a little puzzled that her senior brother, who was usually so bored that he never even looked at the stars, was going to take her to see them, Frieren still took Li Yan's hand. Looking at the stars at night seemed like a pretty good idea.
"I want to go see the stars too!"
Solitär tilted her head and jogged after her, which made Frieren puff out her cheeks and look at the excited Solitär. She was definitely doing it on purpose, not wanting her senior brother to be alone with her.
After taking the two suspicious men into his room, Li Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The servant must have understood his signal and had definitely completed the task he had been given.
As the servant watched Li Yan leave, Li Yan's gaze made him understand something. The door wasn't closed, making it easy for others to see, so the master meant for him to close the door properly and tell the other servants not to enter his room.
Thinking of this, the servant slowly closed the door and turned to inform the other Mechanical Maids that the master's room was occupied tonight and they could not be disturbed.
The night sky was exceptionally beautiful, but it was all for a short while before a torrential downpour began. Li Yan was forced to take Frieren and Solitär back to their room. Looking at the soaked Frieren and Solitär, Li Yan suggested that the two women take a bath first and look at the stars another day.
Frieren could only puff out her cheeks and go to the bathroom with Solitär. Li Yan also took the opportunity to walk to his room. When he saw that his room door was closed, Li Yan breathed a sigh of relief. When he opened the door, the familiar person was still lying in the same place.
She couldn't hold back any longer, she completely couldn't hold back anymore. Li Yan wanted to go in and take the other person out of her room, but she didn't know where to put the other person. Looking at that familiar face with a bit of charisma, Li Yan felt an awkward chill run down her spine.
It's just a room, Li Yan sighed. He'd just consider it a place for his future apprentice to sleep temporarily. Li Yan closed the door tightly and set up a Barrier Magic on it. It seemed he'd have to sleep in another room tonight.
Touching her slightly damp hair, Li Yan walked towards the bathroom. The men's and women's bathrooms were separated by a small distance. Xiao Wu and Xiao Xue were holding Li Yan's personal belongings, quietly waiting for her to come out of the shower.
After a bath, the water dampened Li Yan's face, and her thoughts drifted further and further away. The appearance of the Hero of the South proved that the era belonging exclusively to humanity was about to begin, and the battle against the Demon King and the clash between nations would officially commence.
After taking a shower, Li Yan walked out of the bathroom. Xiao Wu and Xiao Xue Li Yan dressed her. After instructing Xiao Wu and Xiao Xue not to let anyone approach her room, Li Yan used Hot Air Magic to dry her hair and sat on the sofa to enjoy a glass of chilled milk.
"Senior brother, senior brother, Solitär not older than me, but she insists she is." Frieren puffed out her cheeks and ran towards Li Yan with her bare, wet feet.
Seeing that Frieren was still like a child, Li Yan gently hugged her, ignoring the water droplets on her body, and used Hot Air Magic to dry her hair. "Alright, alright, you're the same age, neither of you is worth comparing."
"Young Master, I'm clearly older than Frieren, but she won't admit it."
Solitär, barefoot, ran towards Li Yan arm and displaying her haughty demeanor.
"They're all the same, all the same. If you ask me, there's no need for you two to compare yourselves. If you want to compare, go compare yourselves with Aura and Line."
Li Yan ruthlessly crushed the two girls' competitive spirit; they clearly had no real ability but still wanted to compete, which is a bad thing.
Defeated by Li Yan's blunt, straight-man-like remarks, Frieren puffed out her cheeks and lightly pinched the soft flesh of Li Yan's waist, a hint of displeasure appearing on her pretty face.
As Li Yan was blow-drying Frieren's hair, she suddenly felt her soft flesh around her waist being pulled up, and a sore and painful sensation suddenly struck her.
"Alright, alright, just drink more milk from now on, no need to make things difficult for me, your senior."
Li Yan rubbed the soft flesh on her waist in pain, and gently patted Frieren's head. She was drying Frillie's hair, but Frillie was still making a fuss.
After being gently patted on the head by Li Yan, Frieren puffed out her cheeks and looked at Solitär, her porcelain-white legs swaying gently.
Solitär smiled and gently rested her head on Li Yan's shoulder. Even though the damp water droplets clung to Li Yan's clothes, she wasn't worried. She knew that the young master would spoil her with these little gestures.
"If you two are going to keep comparing sizes, why don't you sleep together tonight and have a proper comparison?"
Li Yan suggested speaking up.
"I don't want to."
Frieren the first to export.
"I want to sleep with the young master."
Solitär responded with a defiant smile.
"Sleeping together is a good option, I'll stay with you."
Li Yan made the suggestion with a gentle expression.
