Bronya: Pamper Me!

The Herta's all-out attack was so easily neutralized.

Her face turned pale, and she staggered back a few steps.

Lin Hai reached out and steadied him just in time.

She looked up at the Lin Hai, her expression relieved.

The commotion caused by their fight was immense.

A violent collision of energies.

A beam of light shot into the sky.

With a terrifying pressure that seemed to tear the sky apart.

This has already alarmed the entire Belobog!

The city's residents flocked to the streets and onto the city walls, gazing curiously towards the snowy plains outside the city.

Soon, a squad of Silvermane Guards escorted the two figures as they rushed over.

It was Bronya and Seele who had come upon hearing the news!

They climbed to a nearby high point and, looking into the distance, witnessed the final scene of Lin Hai single-handedly annihilating the destructive torrent!

Bronya covered her mouth.

As the Supreme Guardian, she could better appreciate the terrifying power contained in that attack.

Lin Hai's ability to resolve the situation so effortlessly demonstrates that his strength is beyond her comprehension!

Seele was completely dumbfounded, her eyes wide open, and she murmured, "This... this is Master's power now? It's too... too strong!"

The two looked at each other and saw the same shock in each other's eyes.

With such a powerful guardian, Belobog's future seems truly secure against attacks from the Interastral Peace Corporation.

Lin Hai felt the vast power within his body, a sense of composure that allowed him to control himself and even a broader destiny, washing over his entire being.

He looked at Bronya and Seele, who had rushed over.

"It's always something to be happy about, as my strength has improved." His cheerful voice broke the lingering somber atmosphere on the snow-covered plain.

"It's time to celebrate!"

Upon hearing this, Bronya stepped forward and said, "You have given so much to Belobog, and now your strength has reached a new level. It is a blessing for the entire Belobog! I have already ordered preparations for a grand celebration!"

Lin Hai smiled and shook his head, his gaze sweeping over Bronya and Seele, as well as the Herta beside him.

"Grand celebrations are nice, but they're for everyone. Tonight..."

He paused slightly, his gaze falling on Bronya's slightly flushed face. "I'd rather have a... more private celebration. Like, pampering our hardworking Bronya and Seele a little."

These blunt and possessive words instantly made Bronya's cheeks flush red.

She lowered her eyelids instinctively, her long eyelashes trembling slightly. "... Mmm."

This single syllable contains so much trust, dependence, and shy expectation.

Seeing this, Seele blinked, mustered her courage, and leaned closer to Lin Hai with a hint of coquetry, grabbing his arm. "Sir, I haven't seen you for days, I want... I want to be pampered!"

Lin Hai chuckled, reaching out to ruffle Seele's soft gray hair, his eyes filled with doting affection.

"Okay, everyone gets a share, so pamper them all! But to celebrate, we need to fill our stomachs first."

He changed the subject. "Let's go back to Qlipoth Fort first."

After talking among themselves, the group decided to have a barbecue feast.

It's still warm.

It smelled of burning charcoal.

Do it yourself.

It's very engaging.

Compared to formal banquets, this more casual and intimate way of dining is clearly more in line with everyone's joyful mood.

When the group returned to Qlipoth Fort, the night was so dark it seemed impossible to break through.

Inside the castle, however, the lights were on full display because of Lin Hai's return and the planned celebrations.

Busy.

But it was also very cheerful.

The atmosphere was fantastic!

Behind the courtyard, on a terrace with a wide view of the starry sky and the distant snowscape, the servants set up a huge bronze barbecue grill.

Long tables were set up around them, displaying a variety of fresh ingredients.

The most eye-catching dish is half a whole roasted lamb, already marinated and flavorful, with a golden-brown, crispy skin that sizzles with oil.

There were also large skewers of grilled mushrooms, green peppers, and corn, as well as local specialty sausages and fish fillets.

Strictly speaking, it's not a specialty of Belobog.

After all, this planet has been frozen for a very long time.

The snow continued to fall.

Most of the streams and rivers are frozen over.

It wasn't until Lin Hai arrived, bringing hope and resolving the Stellaron crisis, that the temperature here dropped.

The ice is melting.

The riverbed was stained by the water flow.

Some fish with strong survival skills have thrived here.

The charcoal burned under the rack, making soft crackling sounds.

The flickering firelight illuminated everyone's smiling faces.

The air was filled with the mouthwatering aroma of roasted meat and spices.

There are no cumbersome formalities, and no restrictions based on status.

Lin Hai personally rolled up his sleeves, stood in front of the grill, flipped the meat skewers, and occasionally brushed on the special sauce.

Bronya and Seele stood around him, sometimes handing him condiments, sometimes stealing a skewer of freshly grilled, steaming hot mushrooms or chunks of meat from his hand.

It was so hot that I had to blow on it, but I couldn't wait to taste it.

At first, the Herta stood a little distance away, watching this scene full of life with great interest.

But soon, she was pulled over by Seele, who stuffed a skewer of roasted corn into her hand.

Everyone gathered around the warm grill, enjoying the fragrant grilled meat, drinking ice-cold beer or juice, chatting about lighthearted topics, and laughing continuously.

Bronya was temporarily relieved of her burden, and her face was filled with a relaxed, girlish smile.

Seele was even more lively, chattering away non-stop.

Even the Herta was talking much more than usual.

Looking at the three beautiful faces around him, each with a distinct style, and seeing their genuine joy reflected in the firelight, Lin Hai felt a sense of peaceful contentment.

Appetite, and another, deeper longing, for intimacy and Elation, quietly brews amidst the warmth of the charcoal fire and the aroma of delicious food.

Waiting to unleash its full potential.

Lin Hai washed his hands clean and tidied his clothes.

He walked up to Bronya and took her hand.

Have you missed me these past few days?

"Yes," Bronya nodded.

How much do you miss me?

I miss you so much, I think about you all the time!

Is it true?

Bronya replied, "It's true. You'll see in a moment that I'm telling the truth."

Lin Hai asked with a smile, "How can you prove it?"

"Come with me to the bedroom. Once we're there, you'll see that I'm telling the truth."

Lin Hai and Bronya locked eyes, sparking a subtle, ambiguous connection.

They both laughed.

He didn't continue.

Everything is understood without words.

Bronya took a few steps forward, pulled Lin Hai along, and headed towards the bedroom.

Seele, the Herta, and the others saw Lin Hai and Bronya leave the barbecue area.

They both knew what Lin Hai and Bronya were planning to do, but they all pretended not to know.

Let's continue eating barbecue.

Flame.

Barbecue.

Spices.

It filled the room.
