Trivial Matters

After completing a series of trivial tasks for the Hero of the South, Li Yan returned to the Castle exhausted and sat down in the chair in front of his desk. Xiao Wu and Xiao Xue Li Yan gently massaged him, relieving his physical and mental fatigue.

Li Yan closed his eyes and pondered. The Hero of the South' campaign against the Demons had already had a significant impact on the Demons. At least for the time being, the Demons would no longer frequently attack human villages and towns, but would instead secretly develop their strength.

Of the Seven Sages of Destruction Demons who were finally defeated, aside from Aura and Macht, the remaining five were practically dead. Böse was Black Hole Annihilation, Grausam was chopped to dust by his own Holy Sword, and the remaining three were annihilated by the Hero of the South.

At least a dozen Greater Demons and Demon Generals died. The Demons God of War Rivale escaped because of his escape route, which allowed Li Yan to escape a calamity. Li Yan didn't care much about that brute.

However, it seems that the future tomato-headed Warrior, Stark, had his entire Family wiped out by the God of War, Rivale.

Thinking of this, Li Yan rubbed his head. The timeline was still far off, and Himmel hadn't even appeared yet, so there was no need to think too much. Maybe the Hero of the South and Himmel would just treat the God of War Rivale, like a monster and farm him.

"Young master, while you were away, Aura picked the lilies you liked."

Xiao Wu spoke softly, Li Yan's lips twitched slightly. That idiot Aura, she really does whatever she wants when I'm not home. She won't listen unless I spank her bottom.

Why did she take it off?

Li Yan let out a breath of stale air; he decided to deal with Aura's matter later.

She said...

Xiao Wu hesitated for a moment, biting her lower lip as she looked towards Xiao Xue's location.

"It's okay, you tell me, I'll go beat her up later."

Li Yan slightly opened his eyes. His steel hand was already extremely eager. A bunch of things outside had made him feel tired, and he didn't expect that even his pet at home would be restless.

She said you liked that pot of lilies the most, and she wanted to bring them to you as soon as you came back.

Xiao Xue suddenly interjected, winking at Xiao Wu.

"Is that so? It seems I misunderstood her."

Li Yan was somewhat taken aback, but breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that his pet still cared about him. He knew it; how could Demons not be tamed?

Under the gentle massage of Xiao Wu and Xiao Xue, Li Yan fell asleep. Xiao Wu and Xiao Xue did not disturb her any longer, and quietly closed the study door and left.

"Xiao Xue, why don't you tell the young master the truth?"

Xiao Wu blinked, somewhat puzzled by Xiao Xue's unusual explanation.

"Young Master is in a bad mood, so don't make him unhappy."

Xiao Xue patted Xiao Wu's hand and gently shook her head. If the young master knew what Aura had said, he would probably be so angry that he would stop resting and go beat Aura instead.

"Okay, I understand."

Xiao Wu nodded. Indeed, the young master looked somewhat tired. If he knew that Aura said she would put his favorite lilies in front of his grave as an offering, he would probably be very angry.

After dozing off at her desk for half an hour, Li Yan slowly opened her eyes, shook her still groggy head, and walked out of the study. She gently pushed open the door and saw Aura carefully restoring the lilies. Even though the lilies had been uprooted and were already dead, Aura's careful restoration made Li Yan find it quite amusing.

"Aura, it's just a pot of lilies."

Li Yan gently walked forward and softly stroked Aura's head. Suddenly hearing Li Yan's voice, Aura jumped in fright, and with a trembling smile, she slowly turned her head, "Why are you here? I just came to see how the lilies are growing, meow."

"Aura, plants are fragile. It was almost dead the moment it was pulled out, but it doesn't matter. To me, you are more important than this pot of lilies."

Li Yan gently stroked Aura's pink hair. The fluffy texture felt very comfortable to the touch. Each strand of pink hair seemed to dance in the air, carrying an indescribable vitality. The touch was soft and warm, as if she were touching a cloud.

Dark pink hair, like cherry blossoms in spring, gives a sweet and dreamy feeling. In the sunlight, the fluffy pink hair has a faint luster, as if it is plated with a thin layer of gold.

It has to be said that Aura's hairstyle is quite adorable thanks to Xiao Wu and Xiao Xue's modifications. The fluffy hair makes her small face look even more delicate and cute, and the slightly exposed snow-white hair gives her the feeling of a loli with the appearance of a mature bear.

Aura blinked. Li Yan's sudden gentleness when he returned surprised her. She thought Li Yan would beat her up when he found out. Without thinking, she gently leaned against Li Yan's leg and rubbed her head against Li Yan. This is how pets express their affection for their owners.

"Young master, young master, look at the Cat-Ear Magic Tool I bought on the street!"

Solitär, dressed in a white and green dress and wearing a bright green cat ear hair accessory, ran towards Li Yan with a natural, innocent smile on her face.

"Cat-Ear Magic Tool? What's its purpose?"

Looking at the adorable cat-ear hair accessory, Li Yan couldn't help but gently pinch Solitär's little face. He had never seen a green kitten before.

"This Cat-Ear Magic Tool can move, and it can hear sounds from very, very far away." Solitär earnestly showed off the cat ears on her head. The gently swaying cat ears were quite cute, of course, because Solitär herself had a very youthful vibe.

"A very good Magic Tool."

Li Yan smiled faintly and looked behind Solitär, where there was a green tail.

"It's Cat Tail; they say you can use it to scratch an itch."

Solitär said proudly, "With the power of movement Mana, the cat's ears will twitch, its Cat Tail will wag, and it will stand up and scratch its back."

Aura looked disdainful; Li Yan wouldn't be interested in such a childish Magic Tool. But when Aura looked up at Li Yan, she was surprised to find that Li Yan seemed to like it quite a bit.

"Lady Frieren also bought other Magic Tools."

Solitär seemed to have thought of something and looked towards the door. Li Yan also looked curiously towards the doorway, where a small head was peeking out.

"Senior brother, don't laugh."

When Frieren pushed open the door and entered, Li Yan couldn't help but chuckle. Frieren had two brightly colored wings wrapped around her arms, and some feathers from some unknown bird were hanging on her body, making her look like a colorful free-range chicken.

Aura completely disregarded Frieren's feelings, pointing at Frieren and laughing loudly, "Frieren, you look like a big rooster."

"Aura, what do you know? This is called the free, Colorful Bird."

Frieren puffed out her cheeks as she looked at Aura, who was laughing heartily. Without hesitation, she showed off the Magic Tools she had purchased.

This Magic Tool is indeed quite something. As Frieren vigorously flapped her wings, her body slowly floated above the ground. As Frieren's flapping speed gradually increased, the height above the ground increased from 3 centimeters to 5 centimeters, and she slowly moved forward.
