Nobody told me this wasn't a game.

For reasons of secrecy, Blood Rose did not purchase any luxurious home furnishings, or even a few new pieces of furniture.

She glanced at Zuo Chang's face and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he looked normal.

Zuo Chang said, "That's right, I'll take a shower; I sweated a bit earlier."

Blood Rose said, "I will serve you."

what?

Oh.

it is good!

Zuo Chang looked at Blood Rose's shapely figure and nodded as if possessed: "Come on."

Zuo Chang believes that he should give Blood Rose more care.

She couldn't possibly let down such a loyal, reliable, and capable subordinate.

It's just taking a bath, right? Everyone takes a bath.

Not only should Blood Rose wash for him, but he should also wash Blood Rose. Only with such unity of purpose can they be invincible.

If we hide it, push it away, and give way to it, what will that become?

Those who aspire to great things cannot be bogged down in trivialities.

Warm water sprayed down, and Blood Rose, wearing only her elemental battle armor, knelt on the bathroom floor, scrubbing Zuo Chang's back: "General, is the pressure just right?"

"Yes, Not Bad."

Zuo Chang sat imposingly on a low stool, looking up at the showerhead.

He drifted off into thought and said, "Chief Rose, do you support me becoming a general again?"

Three chapters to go, thanks for subscribing!

Chapter 96 Doing good or evil is always an unintentional act.

Should we support the general becoming a Grand General again?

Blood Rose's movements visibly faltered.

She looked up at Zuo Changping's determined expression and realized that he wasn't testing her.

He has made his decision.

Blood Rose certainly supported this; she had waited far too long for these words.

She gently wiped Zuo Chang's body and whispered, "I support any decision you make. Your aspirations are my pursuits."

How should I repay your obedience?

"You know I don't need anything. I'm just happy to be able to serve you."

That's really stupid.

Zuo Chang involuntarily raised his hand and stroked Blood Rose's face.

The elemental suit's molecules are tightly packed, preventing water from penetrating. When wet, the surface becomes increasingly shiny, resembling a gel.

Blood Rose, clad only in her battle armor, knelt on the ground, her face utterly submissive—truly…

Amazing!

Zuo Chang stood up and said, "You should take a shower too."

Blood Rose was startled again.

Should I wash it too?

She looked up again and gazed at the warm and gentle light in Zuo Chang's eyes, her heart filled with longing!

This sentence……

She waited even longer.

The general seemed to have finally accepted her feelings.

"...Yes, General."

Blood Rose stood up, her voice trembling slightly with excitement.

……

……

A crazy night.

The next morning.

Blood Rose opened her eyes and found that Zuo Chang was already awake, glancing at her sideways. Her face flushed, and she pulled the blanket up to her nose: "General... don't look at me like that."

Zuo Chang smiled and asked, "Did you sleep well?"

"Hmm...especially reassuring."

You're going to be late for work.

Blood Rose didn't answer, but just silently looked at Zuo Chang, her eyes like those of a young girl.

Nothing else.

She's done everything she could. Blood Rose is top-notch in both appearance and figure, and she's so gentle and obedient. Zuo Chang has been able to endure this long. Even if he's not a saint, he's at least a near-saint.

He stood up, dressed, and said, "Chief Rose, I have a task for you."

Blood Rose had anticipated this, but she still perked up: "Please give your orders."

“I need the General’s Seal, but I need other things as well. Sky City has been a great help to me, but it doesn’t provide combat power. If I don’t have my own loyal followers and reliable armed forces, I can hardly achieve anything great even with Sky City.”

You can't do without your own people.

Without a solid base of support, claiming to want to be a great general is just laughable.

Turn the pages of history, and you'll find that which emperor achieved great things single-handedly?

Liu Bang had Zhang Liang and Han Xin, Li Shimin had Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong, and that transport captain had the Whampoa Military Academy.

Zuochang currently only has Blood Rose, which is far from enough.

He continued, “It is important to clean up your Inspectorate, make it your backyard, and cultivate a few capable people.”

Blood Rose curled her red lips into a smile: "This is exactly what I excel at. But General, before that, I'd like to take you somewhere."

Zuo Chang looked at her and asked, "Where?"

Blood Rose smiled and said, "The park."

Citizens' Park.

Thirty years ago, the Civic Park was a popular gathering place for people of all ages in Tianwang City.

With several urban expansions and replanning projects, this place has gradually become synonymous with old and dilapidated buildings, and fewer and fewer citizens come here for walks.

Zuo Chang walked beside Blood Rose and looked around; the scenery could be described as desolate.

"Meow."

A wildcat darted out of the bushes and, as if recognizing the blood rose, lingered at her feet.

Blood Rose ignored it.

She pointed ahead and said, "General, do you see that person?"

Zuo Chang looked up and saw a person standing in front of a park bench, pacing back and forth.

He seemed to have been waiting for a while, with many cigarette butts scattered around his feet. When he saw Blood Rose and Zuo Chang approaching, his expression changed repeatedly as he strode over!

Zuo Chang glanced at him a few times and asked, "Who is this? Do I know him?"

"General, he used to be your subordinate."

"what?"

Zuo Chang instinctively wanted to run!

That's too late.

The man had already approached and was about to kneel down when Blood Rose quickly stopped him, saying, "There are too many people around; it's better to be careful."

"Yes, yes... Chief Rose is right, I was just too excited!"

The man was in high spirits and said again, "General... I knew it! I knew you must still be alive! That's wonderful... Our perseverance was worthwhile!"

"..."

Who?

Zuo Chang felt a chill run down his spine and remained silent.

Blood Rose introduced, "General, this is 'Great Sun King' Kumara, who once served under you. Shortly after the community upgraded to 4000, you dismissed him and set him free."

Oh!

Upon hearing the number 4000 in the community, Zuo Chang immediately recalled that he had suffered a small loss at that time.

When the new dungeon "Hundred Calamities Snowstorm" was unlocked, it was Zuo Chang's first time playing it, so he didn't know the details.

Before setting off, based on the name of the instance, he temporarily gathered a group of followers with fire-type skills to test the waters—Kumara, the Great Sun King, was among them.

Kumarajiva has health problems.

He suffered a serious injury in his early years, which damaged his foundation. Whenever it rains, he suffers excruciating pain all over his body, making him feel like he is living a life worse than death!

While improving his stats, Zuo Chang also healed him in the process.

It was precisely because the treatment consumed precious materials that Zuo Chang had some recollection of them.

Kumarajiva looked ashamed and said repeatedly, "I am ashamed before the General! The General did not mind my old age and used a lot of resources to improve my cultivation level and refine my martial arts and magic. He even used the extremely precious 'World Tree Sap' to cure my hidden ailment. It is a pity that I am useless and have not made any contribution in the 'Hundred Calamities Snowstorm'. I have wasted the General's cultivation!"

Zuo Chang smiled slightly: "You flatter me, old comrade. The reason we failed to conquer the Hundred Calamities Snowstorm was due to my insufficient intelligence gathering, it had nothing to do with you."

Kumarajiva sighed repeatedly, his face still full of shame.

Zuo Chang laughed and asked, "Where are you working now, old comrade?"
