"Xiao Wu, what's wrong? Are you not full? Do you want me to buy you two more?"
"No need..." Xiao Wu looked away and shook her head.
"Okay, let's go back then. We've wasted a lot of time, and Yue will be mad at us when we get back."
"Ugh..." Aurora whimpered, still very afraid of being scolded by Nangong Nayue.
Back home, as expected, Nangong Nayue asked them why they were back so late. However, they had a perfectly legitimate reason and explained it with confidence.
“Zaharias…that arms dealer? He actually managed to get his hands on the Ninth Prototype.” Nangong Nayue frowned, lost in thought.
"Is the Feast of Flames about to begin?"
"It will probably take a while longer," Shi Chen said, shaking his head as he squeezed her shoulders.
"why?"
"The Feast of Flames is merely a ritual to awaken the Fourth Progenitor, and this ritual must be initiated by the person who initiates it. Others with physical bodies do not have this idea, and Zaharias is not qualified yet."
"Not qualified?" Nangong Nayue turned to look at him.
"What can he do with just a bare body? It's only a matter of time."
"It's only a matter of time?"
"I reckon it won't be long before that guy gets his hands on several bodies."
"real or fake?"
"That guy is ambitious and confident, really."
"Then aren't you going to stop him? You should be more interested in getting the other bodies, right?" Nangong Nayue asked expressionlessly.
"Ok?"
Shi Chen looked at Nangong Nayue's jealous face, laughed, let go of her hand, and rubbed her face.
"What are you doing?"
"That month when she's jealous is really cute."
"Who's jealous? And you're not allowed to call me cute!" Nangong Nayue slapped his hand away in annoyance.
"I'm just telling the truth."
"Stop it!"
"Hehe~ Anyway, I'm not in a hurry. Have you forgotten about that Yue? The Fourth True Ancestor is long gone. That guy's information is too outdated. This ceremony is nothing."
"I almost forgot..."
"Besides, I need him to bring over the other bodies, otherwise I wouldn't bother asking for them."
"Is it."
"At that time, I will take the opportunity to announce my existence to the world," Shi Chen said calmly.
"Are you serious?"
"Of course, what do you think, Natsuki? How about I make Itogami Island my Night Empire?"
"...Why are you asking me?"
"Because you'll be the mistress of the house then."
"Go!" Nangong Nayue suddenly disappeared.
"I am serious."
"Who cares if you're serious or not? It's getting late, I'm going to sleep." Nangong Nayue turned her back to Shichen, pushed open the door to her room without looking back, and then closed the door.
Is this... an excuse?
The exact time is uncertain, yet somewhat certain.
He was the only one left in the living room. Aurora and the others had already gone back to their rooms, and Shichen didn't stay long either, returning to his own room to prepare for sleep.
Zaharias's disturbance had no further impact on him, which gave him a moment of anticipation.
Lying in bed, Shichen closed his eyes and went straight to sleep.
However, he hadn't been asleep for long when his door was slowly pushed open and then slowly closed again.
The dimly lit room was illuminated by the colors of flames.
"Aurora, what are you doing in my room instead of sleeping?"
"Huh—!" Ogurora was startled.
"You...you're still awake?" Aurora leaned against the doorway, looking nervously at Shichen who had sat up.
"You opened the door so loudly, it woke me up."
"Is that so?" Augurola tilted her head.
"Hehe~ Come here." Shi Chen patted the person next to him.
"Hmm... Oh." Augurola took small steps to the bedside and then remained motionless.
Shi Chen smiled, reached out, and carried her to the bed, placing her sideways on his lap.
"Um... what are you going to do?" Aurora asked nervously, her body stiff and her head bowed.
"What am I doing? Shouldn't it be you doing what I'm supposed to do? What are you doing in my room?"
“Um… I… I came to thank you.” Aurora looked up.
"Thank you?" Shi Chen blinked.
“I’m very grateful that you didn’t sell us out, Shichen.” Aurora said earnestly.
"That's it? How could I possibly sell you out?"
"Um...why?" Ogurora asked curiously.
"You forgot? I did take protection money from you."
"That's true, but that's 20 billion..."
"How can my money compare to yours?"
“The time…” Ogurora looked at him, moved.
"Oh right, I think I forgot something."
"what?"
"I haven't collected protection money yet today."
"Eh... Ugh!"
Chapter 404 You're Mine Too
"What...what are you going to do?"
"I'm not doing anything, just checking your development... Your heartbeat is quite normal."
"Well......"
The rustling sounds in the room were particularly irritating. Aurora, like a deceived little lamb, huddled in his arms, her face flushed, letting him tease her.
My pajamas inevitably fell to the ground, my head was spinning, and my heart was beating faster and faster.
Shichen also transformed into a big bad wolf, moving his five fingers to feel the changes in her heartbeat while collecting protection fees and tasting this little lamb.
Just in case, he set up a barrier and shielded the space from fluctuations, so that no one else could find out what he and Aurora were doing unless they came to his room.
At this time, it's impossible for anyone to come.
The little lamb was very nervous and scared, and dared not resist, because this was far beyond the protection fee she was supposed to pay.
The wolf had practically tasted his entire upper body.
This feeling was magical, and the strangeness she experienced far surpassed that of normal protection money.
Make her feel like she's not herself.
Fortunately, the timing wasn't too bad, so we only took a small bite, and then I held her tightly and we went to sleep.
Taking it step by step is very important. He could naturally sense Aurora's tension and fear. This time, all he needed to do was prepare her mentally.
And next time, or the time after that, she won't be so afraid.
Aurora was indeed warmed by Shi Chen's "care". She originally thought that Shi Chen would continue, but she did not expect that he could resist.
Being held by him like this, my body felt warm, and so did my heart.
Shichen truly cared about her.
Ogurora nestled in Shichen's arms, only able to see his chin when she looked up, but it was safe enough. Her pajamas came in, and she nestled comfortably against his chest, quickly drifting off to sleep.
......
On the last day of October, the weather was still hot and humid, and walking on the street early in the morning made one feel listless.
However, this was only a minority; most people were extremely excited.
The Haruin Festival, a large-scale festival unique to Itogami City, has arrived. It's a festival similar to Halloween.
People in costumes could be seen everywhere on the streets, whether they were ordinary people or demons, all enjoying the festival.
There are also stage performances in many places, including schools.
This kind of holiday is the students' favorite holiday; they probably like it as long as they're not in class.
Every student was in high spirits, and even though they were sweating, they didn't seem hot.
There were no classes at Saikai Academy that day, and Shichen accompanied Ogurora and the others on a tour of the entire school.
It does resemble a school festival.
The junior high school section wasn't very interesting; the senior high school section was much more interesting. Besides Nangong Nayue, who was a teacher, Shichen only had one other familiar face in the senior high school.
"Koyo, thank you for showing us around the high school." Shichen thanked Koyo, who was standing a little distance away from him.
Hiida Koyo, a girl with glasses and simple braids on both sides, looks quite ordinary.
