The emperor and the general shed their battle robes, spending a warm spring night beneath hibiscus curtains.
What happened here was not worth telling.
Following Mu Qiansè, Campus Belle and Xia Wen also met the requirements to enter the World Tomb by the following afternoon.
Following precedent, Bai Zhi prepared a huge pile of things for them as well... and successfully bankrupted himself in the process, with not even a two-digit sum left on him altogether.
If the Ghouls had not continuously helped him clear Anomalies and earn rewards, he might have had to seek a loan from the Relevant Department...
The next morning, after seeing Campus Belle and Xia Wen board the train, Bai Zhi felt as if a great weight had been lifted from his shoulders.
Tian Huo, who had gone to participate in the System Mandated Quest, still showed no signs of returning. Meanwhile, the Former Yin Emperor, who had been freeloading at his house, had mysteriously vanished starting from the day Night Owl left. He had no idea why... in any case, Bai Zhi had not been able to find her again.
So from that point on, only he and Qingyi and the others remained in the villa.
Without outsiders getting in the way, life with several lolis became rather... trying for Bai Zhi.
With the only proper cook and the backup cook both gone, eating every day became an extremely difficult matter. It would be at least five or six days before they returned, and they could not possibly eat barbecue every day during that time.
Thus, beneath the expectant gazes of the little girls, Bai Zhi could only grit his teeth and cook for them once... after which Anna and the others never allowed him anywhere near the kitchen again.
The daytime was manageable
