You became an emperor by letting me AFK.

"Brother-in-law, did you finish writing the sequel to 'Demon Breaks the Sky' last night?"

"I've written a little, but I haven't finished yet."

"Can we continue writing today?"

"I might not have time today; I have other plans this afternoon."

Selene felt a little helpless; the feeling of being pressed so closely for updates was rather strange.

Eve's face fell slightly, but she quickly recovered.

"Can I see the parts you've already written?"

"Let's talk about it after breakfast."

"good! "

Eve picked up the hot milk in front of her with satisfaction, took a big gulp, and left a ring of white milk stains on her lips.

Selene reached out and wiped it off for her, and Eve smiled with her eyes narrowed.

Footsteps came from the stairs, and Elvia appeared at the restaurant entrance.

She wore a dark blue long dress with a silver-gray coat, her hair was neatly braided into a long braid that fell from her left shoulder, and her complexion had returned to normal, but she exuded a mature aura.

Serian's gaze was unconsciously drawn to Elvia's appearance.

Madam, isn't your hairstyle a bit risky?

Yvette quietly observed this scene, her nose twitching slightly.

The scents emanating from the two individuals mingled together, creating a highly concentrated and deeply intertwined atmosphere that couldn't be achieved simply by sleeping together.

She paused for a moment while spreading the honey, then continued spreading it as if nothing had happened.

"elder sister!"

Eve waved to her.

Elvia walked over and sat down to Selene's left. A servant served her tea and breakfast.

After pouring herself a cup of tea, she casually poured one for Celian as well, her movements practiced and natural.

When Celian reached out to take the cup, their fingers touched the handle briefly. Elvia didn't pull her hand back; she just paused for a moment before placing the cup in front of Celian.

She looked at Celian's face, then subtly shifted her gaze.

Yvette watched this scene with great interest, unable to suppress the smile on her face.

Selene was caught between the two and ate quietly for a while.

Elvia picked up a slice of bacon, thought for a moment, and placed it on Selja's plate.

Eve saw it, blinked her icy blue eyes twice, and also picked up a piece of bread from her plate and placed it in front of Celian.

"Brother-in-law, eat more."

Selene's lips twitched slightly as she looked at the ever-growing pile of plates in front of her.

"...That's enough, I can't eat that much."

"You need to eat more to have energy."

Eve was perfectly justified.

Yvette, holding her teacup, glanced back and forth between the two sisters and Selene with her pink eyes before finally speaking.

"Miss Elvia looks much better today."

Elvia continued picking up food with her chopsticks, and hummed in agreement.

"I slept well last night."

"Really? I can tell. You look completely different. Your eyebrows and eyes have relaxed a lot."

Yvette took a bite of bread, chewed a few times, and swallowed, her eyes crinkling into a smile.

She rested her chin on her hand, her voice full of laughter.

"Congratulations to you and Miss Celian."

The teasing was so intense that Serian paused, her hand holding the teacup darting towards Elvia.

She was worried that Elvia had become more sensitive and wouldn't be able to handle the joke, so she wondered if she should step in to smooth things over.

However, Elvia simply picked up a piece of bacon and placed it on Selja's plate.

"Thank you."

Yvette looked somewhat surprised, with half a piece of bread still in her mouth, not chewing for several seconds.

Her succubus instincts and curiosity surged again, and she spoke once more.

"I meant congratulations to you and Miss Celian."

"Yes, I understand, thank you."

Elvia repeated it again, in the exact same tone as the first time.

Yvette suddenly felt a little bored.

Serian barely managed to suppress her laughter as she watched this scene.

However, just as Yvette had given up, another voice rang out.

"elder sister."

"Um? "

"Your face is red."

Eve was biting into her bread, her icy blue eyes clear and bright, her voice sweet and lovely.

When Elvia realized the person in question wasn't Yvette, but her own younger sister Eve, her expression immediately changed. Her hand holding the teacup paused slightly, and her voice and eyes became somewhat unfocused.

"Is it? Maybe the heating is too strong."

"But it was just as hot yesterday, and my sister's face didn't turn red yesterday either."

The restaurant was quiet for a moment. Yvette turned to face the wall, but couldn't help but chuckle.

Elvia placed the teacup on the table, her right hand gradually clenching.

“Eve”.

"Um? "

"Have a meal."

"Oh."

Eve obediently lowered her head and took another bite of bread.

It chewed twice, then raised its head again.

"But my brother-in-law's neck..."

"Is the bread delicious, Eve?"

Selene couldn't resist any longer and joined the battle.

"It's delicious, but a bit hard."

"Just chew it a little more, and make sure you eat it all. Don't waste any food."

As she spoke, Celian pulled the scarf around her neck up a little higher.

Eve watched Selene cover her neck, blinked her icy blue eyes twice, and obediently lowered her head to continue chewing her bread, without asking any further questions.

Her eyelashes drooped, concealing the emotions in her eyes, and the corners of her mouth maintained a sweet curve, while her fingers secretly pinched the fabric of her nightgown under the table, gently rubbing it up and down.

Lorraine walked into the restaurant carrying a plate of pastries and glanced at everyone's expressions.

She paused for two seconds, placed the pastries on the table, and walked to Celian's side.

“Miss Celian, your scarf is crooked.”

She reached out and straightened Celian's scarf, her fingers lingering for a moment at the neckline before completely concealing any visible marks.

His movements were natural, and his expression was calm.

"Thank you."

Selene looked up at her.

Lorraine nodded slightly, took a step back, and returned to the doorway.

Yvette watched Lorraine's actions, her pink eyes narrowing slightly, her smile unchanged, her gaze thoughtful.

Eve lowered her head and drank her milk, her icy blue eyes glancing at Lorraine from beneath her eyelashes before silently looking away.

Each of them had their own thoughts, but none of them spoke up.

The atmosphere in the restaurant only returned to a cheerful state after the topic shifted to another direction.

............

After breakfast, Celian returned to her room, closed the door, and sat cross-legged in the center of the floor.

She closed her eyes and focused her attention on her body.

The magic circuits have been completely renewed after last night's breakthrough. The two circuits, Winter and Abyss, are operating in parallel, each independent yet mutually reinforcing.

She first mobilized the abyssal magic, and the pitch-black power surged from the depths of the circuit, flowing along the meridians to the palm of her right hand, where it condensed into a tiny black mist at her fingertips.

Selene tried to control its shape.

First, it was pressed into a flat disc, then stretched into a thin filament, then split into three uniform small balls, and finally put back together.

The whole process was so smooth that it didn't seem like the level someone who had just broken through to the third stage should be at.

The abyssal magic was solid and steady, and she was all too familiar with it. She could control the direction of every strand of power and the change in concentration, down to the thickness of a hair.

Although the magic power within his body was only at the third level, the instincts etched deep within his soul had not disappeared.

She then channeled the magic of winter, and the icy blue power surged from another circuit, flowing into the palm of her left hand.

Similarly, it attempts to change shape, condense into ice crystals, stretch, split, and recombine.
