I loaded the dream game

Nearly a day had passed, and although there was no need to be on guard against threats from the gods anymore, the barrier of the sacred tree had still not been lifted.

Likewise, the world outside the barrier did not return to its original state.

The world destroyed by the gods is not irreversible.

The sea of ​​fire outside the sacred tree barrier was a world-class barrier similar to the sea of ​​trees, which was sent down by the gods in order to completely eradicate humans from the outside world.

The principle is similar to that of the sea of ​​trees, where a barrier of completely new rules covers the original world, and the world under the sea of ​​fire barrier is also forced into a state of static.

In other words, while destroying humanity, the sea of ​​fire barrier sent down by the gods can be said to have preserved the original world to a certain extent.

After it was lifted, it was the world that was before it was covered by the sea of ​​fire and the world that had just experienced destruction three hundred years ago.

To the outside world, these three hundred years do not exist. The frozen time preserves everything. Some foods with a longer shelf life have not even had time to expire, the city has not yet been covered by natural vegetation, and many industrial facilities that have not been destroyed can be used directly. It is a very convenient setting for humans.

Logically speaking, now that all the gods have been destroyed and no god can compete with the power of the sacred tree, for the sake of the future development of mankind, the external world should be restored no matter how you think about it.

However, the sacred tree did not do so.

If the barrier did not dissolve on its own, it was the remaining power of the gods that was maintaining it.

Why doesn't the sacred tree restore it on its own initiative?

Xia Zhi thought to himself.

Besides this, there is another thing...

“Knock, knock, knock…”

Just as he was thinking, there was a knock on the bathroom door.

"Please come in."

Xia Zhi, who was distracted, replied subconsciously.

After he said that, he realized...wait, shouldn't I say please come in at this time?

However, it was too late to change his words now. With a slight "click" sound, the bathroom door slowly opened.

Fortunately, the person who came in was not someone else, but his girlfriend.

"……Is there a problem?"

Looking at the silver-haired girl who came to the bathtub, Xia Zhi asked.

"Come and find Xia Zhi."

Mio answered bluntly, blinking at him expectantly.

"Can I come along?"

Although the timing may seem a bit inappropriate at first glance, but if you think about it carefully, it doesn’t seem like an excessive request?

Xia Zhi moved to the side... The bathtub in this small villa was big enough for two people to sit side by side.

It should be said that it was originally designed according to the standards of a double couple's bathtub?

With the boy's permission, Mio took off her clothes and happily sat in the bathtub.

She did not choose to sit in the seat Xia Zhi had made room for her, but sat directly in the boy's arms.

"Hmm...huh..."

Feeling the warm water wrapping around her body, the girl couldn't help but let out a comfortable sound.

Then she moved her body, adjusted herself to a suitable posture, leaned her head on the boy's chest, and narrowed her eyes slightly.

Xia Zhi hugged her soft body, thought for a moment and asked curiously:

"Do any of Sonoko and the others know you're coming?"

"They are taking a bath too." Mio replied lazily.

There is not only one bathroom in such a big house...I should say, the other bathroom should be bigger.

It’s not like the girls haven’t stayed here before, so Xia Zhi naturally made special arrangements for them.

After all, as they are students, it is certainly not appropriate for him to share a bathroom with Xia Zhi like he does at home.

"Aren't you going to join them?" Xia Zhi asked.

"Because I want to be with Xia Zhi more." The girl said, moving closer to him.

This posture is not very convenient for stretching arms and legs, and it is definitely not as easy as washing the body alone.

However, compared to showering, taking a bath is not for cleaning the body, but for enjoyment.

Xia Zhi thought to himself and hugged her body even tighter.

"ah!?"

Mio let out a small cry of surprise, and a blush appeared on her cheeks, not sure if it was caused by the bath or shyness.

Even though they are elves, their sensitivity in many areas is still about the same as that of humans.

When Xia Zhi was thinking this, he saw the girl turned around, a pair of white and tender arms wrapped around his neck, her cheeks were stained with red, and her watery eyes looked at him wetly.

"Summer Solstice..."

She opened her mouth slightly and called out his name softly.

"It will take a while for Sonoko and the others to finish washing."

Although it's said to take a while, considering the order of bathing, it's hard to say for sure... Not to mention that Sonoko has come out early before.

but……

Feeling the girl's warm and soft body in his arms, Xia Zhi decided to talk about that matter later.

.......

Chapter 954: Xia Zhi has actually been kept by a rich loli?

In the boy's room, Nogi Sonoko sat on the soft bed, looking at the bright moon in the night sky outside the window. Her legs lightly touching the ground swayed slightly as she hummed.

Originally, she was a little hesitant about whether to come back here, but her spare clothes were still with the boy... She forgot to ask him for them back.

Fortunately, the room has been cleaned up.

Looking at the clean and tidy room at this moment, the scene she had seen inside the house before emerged in her mind, and a blush appeared on her cheeks.

Brother Xia Zhi, you are so careless.

...However, knowing what happened here before, he was still changing clothes in the boy's room.

I am becoming more and more bold.

She thought to herself.

"Brother Xia Zhi, you're so slow..."

She didn't know how long she had waited, but she still didn't see the boy coming back, so she wrinkled her nose.

Does it take so long for a boy to take a shower?

He clearly came back not long ago the night before.

Or... is he doing something else?

When Nogi Sonoko was thinking this, she heard a slight sound and the door of the room was gently opened.

A look of joy appeared on her face, and she immediately turned around. Just as she was about to greet the boy who came in, she noticed another girl in his arms.

"...?"

Huh? When did Sister Mio go to Brother Xia Zhi's place?

Nogi Sonoko looked at the silver-haired girl in Xia Zhi's arms. She was still wrapped in a bath towel and her hair seemed a little wet. It was obvious that she had just taken a shower, right?

Seeing the petite girl waiting for him in the room, Xia Zhi was slightly stunned, and then greeted her: "Good evening, Yuanzi."

Hearing his voice, Mio, who had been lazily lying on his shoulders, enjoying his embrace and not wanting to move, finally came to her senses. She raised her head and saw the figure of the girl in the room, and blinked.

Yeah, it seems like it took a little while longer.

As she thought about it, a blush appeared on her pretty face, and she struggled to get out of the boy's arms. But before her white and tender feet touched the ground, Xia Zhi forcefully hugged her back.

"Don't move, you're not wearing slippers."

Xia Zhi said this, and after carrying her to the bed and laying her down, he finally let go of her body.

"..."

Watching the two of them showing their affection, Nogi Sonoko felt that maybe she had come too early.

"I thought you would be waiting for me in the living room."

As Xia Zhi spoke, he took out a comb and gently combed Mio's soft silver hair.

"After all, my clothes are still with you, Brother Xia Zhi." Yuanzi replied.

It seems... that's the case?

Xia Zhi thought about it, but his hands did not stop moving.

Because it was already evening, she didn't braid her hair into the original three-strand braid. Instead, she simply separated a small strand of hair on the side and tied a light blue headband into a bow as decoration.

"How does it feel?" Xia Zhi withdrew his hand and asked the silver-haired girl.

"Xiazhi, do you think it looks good?" Mio didn't pay attention to her current hairstyle, but looked at him curiously and asked.

"It looks very beautiful." Xia Zhi replied.

However, he felt that his opinion had no reference value. After all, in his eyes, the girl was beautiful no matter what.

"That's fine." The girl said with a smile.

This sentence seemed to be saying that she dressed up just for the boy to see, and as long as he liked it, nothing else mattered.

...Perhaps this is indeed the case for Mio?

Xia Zhi thought to herself, rubbed her head, and was about to put the comb away, but her eyes caught a glimpse of Nogi Sonoko who had just finished taking a bath, with her hair casually hanging behind her.

He thought about it and waved to the girl.

Seeing this, Nogi Sonoko blinked, walked up and sat obediently in front of him.

"Sonoko, what kind of hairstyle do you want?"

Xia Zhi asked while helping her comb her hair.

"A hairstyle suitable for sleeping at night?"

"Then just let it go, right?"

"Then... it's a hairstyle suitable for celebrating rock and roll."

"What do you want to do so late at night?" Xia Zhi complained.

The girl stuck out her tongue and finally made a decision

"Just leave it to Brother Xia Zhi~"

Xia Zhi thought about it and decided that the original half-shawl style was the best choice. It was simple and very beautiful.

As he moved, Nogi Sonoko narrowed her eyes slightly, enjoying the touch of the boy's fingertips gently brushing her hair for a moment. After a long while, she spoke again and asked curiously:

"Brother Xia Zhi, why did you ask me to come over tonight? Is there something wrong?"

"I have something to ask you." Xia Zhi replied.

"Yes, as long as Brother Xia Zhi wants to know, I will tell you everything I know~"

"What's your bank card password?"

“I’ve always used credit cards.”

Nogi Sonoko replied.

"Besides, I rarely use it...because there is basically no need to use it."

Young ladies from wealthy families are different.

Xia Zhi sighed in his heart.

Come to think of it, even if she isn't considered a hero, Sonoko should be considered the eldest daughter of the most powerful family in the world, right?
