The wind blew from the hillside, ruffling Liuli Chun's hair and skirt.

Flames burned behind her, their orange-red light gilding her silhouette with a flowing gold, while thick smoke rose into the sky, dissipating into a thin gray mist.

It was as if all the nightmares of last night had been burned to ashes this morning.

Lin Yu knew that this was Liuli Chun bidding farewell to the past.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Yu grasped her outstretched palm.

The moment her fingertips touched her skin, Ruri Tsubaki lunged forward.

Her movements carried a force that had been building up for a long time, and she crashed into Lin Yu's arms.

Her arms encircled the back of his neck, her legs were already raised, her knees crossed over his waist, her long legs intertwined behind him, and her ankles were clasped together.

Liuli Chun did not speak.

His lips pressed against hers with a hint of haste. Lin Yu's hands cupped her knees, the warmth of his palms seeping through her skirt, causing her to tighten her grip even more.

After the kiss, Ruri Tsubaki's eyes were half-closed, her eyelashes casting a small fan-shaped shadow in the morning light.

Her lips were glistening with moisture, and she was still breathing heavily, speaking with a slight pant.

"Master, take me home. Right now... all I want is to be with you..."

As she spoke, Liuli Chun's fingers slid down from the back of Lin Yu's neck and landed on his waist.

As the morning light cast golden dapples, Liuli Chun clenched her fist and grasped one of those golden dapples.

She then hugged Lin Yu even tighter, her small body obscuring the golden spots.

"Master..." Her voice was muffled against Lin Yu's neck, soft and hoarse.

"That's it... I love it..."

Lin Yu did not rush to make a move.

Teleportation magic lit up beneath their feet, instantly drawing away the morning light, the sound of the wind, and the crackling of distant flames.

As their perspective shifted, the manor's corridor came into view.

When Liulichun's back pressed against her bedroom door, the door made a soft creak.

She looked down at Xiaoyu, then looked up at Linyu, the curve of her lips conveying a sense of relief after she had let go of all her burdens.

"Master..." She tightened her legs and let out a muffled groan.

"Could you love me a little more?"

Lin Yu supported her waist and pushed her forward half an inch.

Ruri Tsubaki's voice squeezed out from between her teeth, sounding somewhat out of control:

"Master...Master~"

Master...I love you...I love you...I love you the most—"

......

1 hours later——

Liuli Chun's legs slid down from Lin Yu's waist and collapsed onto the quilt.

Her face was pressed against the pillow, her breathing gradually became even from rapid to even, and her lips were still slightly parted.

She turned to the side, her palm pressed against Lin Yu's cheek, her fingertips brushing against his jawline, her voice languidly husky:

"Master, I am now... truly and completely liberated."

As Liulichun spoke, she pressed her face back against Lin Yu's shoulder, her voice muffled by the fabric:

"Thank you, Master, for taking away all my nightmares. I feel so relaxed now, and I've completely said goodbye to the hatred of the past."

But master... I have no home anymore... I only have master~ Please don't abandon me, okay?

I love you, Master...

As Liuli Chun spoke, she hugged Lin Yu tightly, her expression filled with deep dependence.

Lin Yu lowered his head and touched the top of her head with his lips: "Get a good night's sleep."

Liulichun's eyelashes trembled, and the corners of her mouth curved, but she didn't say anything more.

Her breathing quickly became long and even, her fingers still gently clutching the fabric at Lin Yu's waist, unwilling to let go even in her dreams.

However, after Ruri Tsubaki fell into a deep sleep, Lin Yu returned to Luna's room.

Feeling the soft embrace of Claire, Luna, and Durandal, Lin Yu closed his eyes.

......

The next morning—

Sunlight streamed in through the edge of the curtains, casting a thin, silvery-white line across the bed sheet.

Claire, Luna, and Durandal lay side by side, like three docile little animals.

Luna lay in the middle, her right hand on Durandal's waist and her left hand on Claire's shoulder.

Claire slept on the outermost side, lying on her side with her face towards Luna. Her golden twin ponytails spread out on the pillow like two open fans.

Durandal huddled on the inside, leaning against Luna, her knees pressed against the mattress, her breathing already quite even.

Claire woke up first.

She didn't open her eyes, but the corners of her mouth curved slightly.

She could feel Lin Yu's breath right next to her ear, warm and brushing against the top of her hair.

Immediately afterwards, Luna's fingers moved slightly under the blanket, her fingertips touching the back of Lin Yu's hand that was resting on her waist. She paused for a moment, then withdrew her hand.

Durandal also woke up.

She turned over, facing Lin Yu, her gaze falling on Lin Yu's profile.

The morning light peeked through the gap in the curtains, outlining his silhouette with a golden edge.

Her legs moved slightly under the blanket, her knees brushing against Lin Yu's little legs, before she pulled back.

Luna was the last to wake up.

She opened her eyes, her gaze shifting from Lin Yu's profile to Claire's face, and then to Durandal's face.

She smiled slightly and glanced down at what was under the blanket.

In the morning light, Lin Yu was still full of energy.

"Master is still sleeping~" Luna's voice was very low.

Claire and Durandal both looked at her.

Luna did not speak.

She stepped back half an inch, slipped her hand under the covers, and her fingertips touched Lin Yu's feet.

Claire's eyes widened, and she couldn't help but say:

"Look, Luna is actually infatuated with her master..."

Durandal also turned her head, her gaze falling on Luna's fingers and lips, her pupils slightly contracting.

"You two come too," Luna said, ignoring the two women's surprise.

Claire hesitated for a moment, then, seeing Luna's rapt expression, she too became curious.

She then moved forward half an inch.

Durandal hesitated for a longer time, but finally went over.
