After mastering the resurrection technique, they begged me to extend their lives.

Follow An Xiao to the cellar.

He arranged for Xingmi to wait at the dark entrance underground.

"Hey, I've given you all the clothes and stuff, you should at least let me see this 'creation' you're talking about, right? After all, I'm supposed to be your benefactor, escorting you out of here..."

The little fox reluctantly handed over the package.

"Stay here. Wait for me quietly."

An Xiao didn't care about illness at all; she picked up her things and went inside.

He then closed the door behind him.

Xingmi gritted her teeth in hatred, but couldn't do anything to him for the time being.

-

internal.

Princess Airi was looking this way with a worried expression, her little face almost overflowing with tension.

Ever since An Xiao held her and slept with her all night, she's had this vague feeling that she "doesn't want to be too far away from him."

Especially after he silently loosened his back, got up, turned around, and went deep into the tunnel to get something this morning, the chilling feeling became even more intense...

Then, without wasting a second, he went out, while he himself got up after tossing and turning, and went into the tunnel to take a look...

Good guy.

They discovered that he had resurrected a dead person.

"...Brother, I've been waiting for you for so long! How could you leave me here alone with a dead man?"

"Not one, but two."

An Xiao corrected him expressionlessly, "Take it and put it on. Wrap yourself up tightly, you'll be coming out of town with me in a bit."

"!"

Airi stared blankly as he tossed her a bag of women's clothing, wondering, "Where did this come from?"

"Never mind."

"You left me in the room while you went out to pick up women?"

"..."

Heaven knows why the girl suddenly blurted out such a sentence.

If an outsider overheard this, they might think the two had some kind of complicated, incestuous relationship.

"Don't ask me any more questions. Just follow my orders. Otherwise, when your 'Day of Rest' arrives, I won't consider resurrecting you."

"..."

In order to lower her favorability and increase her sense of boundaries, An Xiao deliberately poured cold water on the girl's behavior to see her reaction.

Unexpectedly, Airi fell silent on the spot.

Threatened, a complex expression flashed across her innocent face.

Then he stopped talking and had no desire to refute. He simply took the bag of women's clothing and put on the clothes and coat with a dejected expression.

He remained silent throughout the entire process.

"..."

An Xiao frowned, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping herself.

He secretly glanced at her with his "Creator's Gaze".

Favorability: 31.

"?"

Seeing that the value of this ascent was even faster than her own mana recovery speed, An Xiao was a little confused.

Does physical contact at night significantly increase affection levels?

[Could there be such a plot device? Otherwise, how can I explain why her feelings for me didn't decrease but instead increased despite my indifference?]

The two did not exchange any further words. He shook his head and turned his gaze to the other side.

"Chris".

"roar."

Creatures, having lost their autonomy, staggered out of the tunnel at the call of the authorities.

The militia captain was wearing the same clothes as he had been the previous morning, except that his head was covered by brand-new armor, making it difficult to discern his features.

Based on the morning's observations and tests, the resurrected individual can only obey orders and has no other autonomy.

The operation method is also very simple.

The panel's selection box contains several options such as "Move," "Follow," "Attack," "Alert," and "Use Items," all of which are fairly standard and easy to understand.

Besides calling out to him, An Xiao could also control him with her divine sense without speaking, directing him to the target location.

That's very convenient.

It was like having a walking corpse following behind me.

So this is the fun of being a warlock?

The summoned creatures are constantly under control and follow you, and they are fearless of death, always ready to obey commands.

Based on this, it's hard not to wonder if my previous creations might have had similar options.

such as……

The love before my eyes.

[View panel options.]

I stared intently at it.

1. Dialogue.

2. Replenish mana.

3. Punishment.

4. Place.

"..."

An Xiao was speechless.

The options before me don't seem to offer the usual attack and movement choices; instead, they include some things that have special significance.

For example, a dialogue can be completed independently, but a highlighted prompt appears in the panel.

If the so-called mana replenishment is to treat the princess like a "magic stone" and sleep with her to rest and regenerate mana, then what is the significance of the other options?

Driven by curiosity, An Xiao chose the safer "conversation" option on the panel.

I wanted to see how this differed from my normal way of speaking.

[You have consumed 3 Mana. Choose to interact with "Creation".]

"?!"

Before he could even regret it, his mouth opened uncontrollably, and he blurted out the truth...

It didn't sound like what I said—

"Airi, I admit that my previous remarks were ill-considered and made you feel wronged. I take back what I said. In fact, after you provided me with magical energy and carefully cast a blessing spell, I felt your irreplaceable qualities. You helped me solve the problem with your actions, so there is no way I could give up on you."

「!?」

"If conditions permit, I will cast the 'Life Extension Spell' on time to prolong your life, so don't worry anymore, I'm still by your side."

[Airi Petrolia, Affection Level: 40 (+9)]

"..."

Wow.

The moment the words left her mouth, not only did Airi's lips slightly open, her expression one of relief and emotion as if enveloped by something gentle, but even An Xiao herself was stunned on the spot.

They were horrified.

Is this... the legendary "correct interaction"?

In the past, he would never have treated a young girl with such a gentle tone.

After all, who knows if trouble might arise after the favorability rating skyrockets?

But now, with just one attempt, her favorability has increased by 9, and it looks like it's about to reach the next stage...

From curiosity to concern.

Who could stand this?

If the interaction is already this amazing, then the "punishment" and "placement" options must be... incredible!

An Xiao glanced at the panel again.

The good news is that the word "interaction" has been grayed out, and there's a small hourglass-like UI element behind it that's spinning, so it seems to have a cooldown period.

The other two options can still be selected.

And because it was the first time using the feature, there were some additional prompts.

Punishment: Consumes 15 Mana to educate your "creation," making her even more fearful of you and不敢逆你 (dare not rebel). (Affection -5, Obedience +10)

Place: Consumes 0 Mana to leave her unattended in a certain location until the resurrection spell's effect ends. You can choose—

1. Before the end, extend her life (resentment +15, dependence +20).

2. Admire the despair on the beautiful face of the creature. (Upon resurrection, hatred level increases by 50; at 100, the event "Insubordination" is triggered.)
