National Fate: A Crossover Anime Marriage, Starting with the Great Tree King

—Dragon Kingdom Challenger Jiu Kaibai

Time flies, and it was already 5:30 in the afternoon.

Having stopped practicing swordsmanship and magic for the day, Jiu Kaibai stood up from the floor.

Take a deep breath, then slowly exhale, allowing yourself to regain calm.

Then, accompanied by two lovely maids and a beautiful wife, they returned to the living room.

The first thing to do after training is, of course, to take a shower.

When they arrived at the bathhouse, two little "shadows" followed behind them.

Rita and Belfast.

It can only be said that receiving the rings seemed to unlock some kind of restriction, making them increasingly unrestrained.

……

(A little bit of 'dududu's' hand, VIPs in the group at 9:30)

Chapter 155 What is 'love'?

It can only be said that this real-life brawl is accompanied by the increasing number of participants.

The atmosphere grew increasingly heated, but they were surrounded by a large group of people.

Jiu Kaibai, who was in the center of the battlefield, calmly dealt with their attacks and seemed to be in complete control.

However, facing so many opponents, he still used both hands, without saying anything about letting the other side have both hands.

After all, it's not a 1v1 now, but he's taking on the entire opposing team all by himself.

Although during this confrontation, the opponent would occasionally launch a counterattack.

However, thanks to his outstanding patience and resilience, Jiu Kaibai successfully withstood the ordeal.

As a result, he stood until the very end.

Among a group of opponents who were lying on the ground, Jiu Kaibai appeared relaxed and at ease.

This made him admire his own body.

"Ah~, such a strong body! Possessing invincible power!"

As he spoke, he patted his pectoral muscles to show off his physical strength.

Unfortunately, the only one left on the scene is his opponent, lying on the ground, panting heavily.

No one has responded to his words so far.

Seeing this, Jiu Kaibai also stopped his playful mood.

With a wave of his hand, the levitation magic was activated instantly, and the girls lying on the ground floated up.

Then, following Jiu Kaibai's gentle movements, they were placed one by one into the central pool.

Then they began to manipulate the water flow to wash away all the sticky stuff off their bodies.

With him focusing on so many things at once, it was clean in no time.

However, looking at the girls in front of me, I guess they need to rest for a while.

Jiu Kaibai adjusted the water temperature to warm water, then changed his clothes and went outside.

Looks like I'll have to cook for myself again.

With that thought in mind, Jiu Kaibai walked towards the kitchen.

At this moment, Hades leisurely walked into the kitchen.

He appeared to be looking around, but in reality, his gaze was always focused on Jiu Kaibai.

His eyes flickered, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.

While chopping vegetables, Jiu Kaibai noticed Hades wandering around and spoke softly.

"Hades, are you here to help? If so, could you please help wash the vegetables?"

"Ah? Oh, my Lord, I'm coming."

Hades paused for a moment upon hearing the words, then immediately responded.

She ran to the side and began washing the ingredients in front of her.

Seeing the child's absent-minded look, Jiu Kaibai continued to steer the conversation.

"Hades, what did the Tree King say to you back then? Can you tell me?"

Upon hearing this, Hades fell silent, and the atmosphere in the kitchen became quiet for a moment.

The only sounds were chopping vegetables and flowing water.

After a while, just as Jiu Kaibai was considering whether to break the silence, Hades finally spoke.

"The lady told me that such things are only done when both parties are mutually attracted."

"Although your situation is special, it was something that happened without any emotional foundation."

"But the lady told me that in the days that followed, her feelings for you grew stronger day by day."

"However, my Lord, there is one thing I have never understood."

Having said that, Hades turned off the tap and went to Jiu Kaibai's side.

Looking at him with inquisitive eyes, she continued to speak.

"So what is 'love'?"

Upon hearing this, Jiu Kaibai was taken aback, because the question was somewhat vague.

This left him speechless for a moment.

Hades, standing to the side, began to speak to himself.

"From a scientific point of view, 'love' is actually a feeling produced by the adjustment of hormones in the body."

"To be more specific, the brain releases an excessive amount of dopamine and cortisol, making both parties feel excited."

"The brain releases a large amount of oxytocin, which causes blood to flow rapidly through the brain to create a feeling of pleasure."

"..."

For a moment, Hades was so engrossed that she couldn't stop talking until Jiu Kaibai tapped her on the head and brought her back to her senses.

Looking at the seemingly dim-witted but silly girl in front of him, he chuckled and spoke.

"It's too cold to describe 'love' with science."

"And what exactly is this so-called 'love'? The answer is actually quite simple."

"When that person's image and voice occasionally flash through your mind."

"I became particularly attentive to all news about that person."

"Contacting and talking to that person will make you feel nervous and excited."

"These circumstances indicate that you have fallen for the other person, which also means that so-called 'love'."

After listening to Jiu Kaibai's words, Hades showed a thoughtful expression.

Then, with a gaze full of "wisdom," she looked earnestly at the man in front of her and spoke.

"If that's the case, then it means I've already fallen in love with you, my Lord!"

"Just like you said, your image is all I can think about. I want to know everything about you, and I feel very happy when I talk to you."

After saying that, Hades, that silly girl, revealed a bright smile.

Upon hearing this, Jiu Kaibai was not surprised, after all, she had asked him about that kind of thing before.

I was already mentally prepared, but I didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

However, Jiu Kaibai still reached out and pinched her smooth cheek in response.

"as long as you are happy."

After saying that, he continued with the things he was doing.

Hades, having received a response, was immediately pleased and happily continued to help.

Meanwhile, in the live stream, viewers from China who watched the entire broadcast began to discuss it animatedly.

"Wow~, the little machine girl has fallen for him so quickly~, no wonder he's Kaibai Ge, a role model for us all!"

"In that case, Kaibai already has eight female confidantes. That's terrifying."

"So here's the question: what does Kaibai Ge eat to be so strong? A friend of mine is very curious."

"The friend you mentioned up ahead, is that yourself?"

"..."

The outside world's disturbances did not affect the cozy atmosphere in the kitchen.

At that moment, a figure walked in from outside the kitchen; it was the Great Tree King, dressed in a light green dress.
