After the proposal, the Valkyrie came to the door

In other words, Anliang was able to eat Kiana's Heavenly Fire Roasted Honkai Beast in the past, and Alicia's cooking skills were at a normal level, so he was able to enjoy the girl's cooking with great interest.

If it were a thousand tribulations...

They'll probably scoff at these trendy dishes and tell Alicia to stop insulting their culinary skills with such nonsensical stuff.

"Is it tastier than the dishes I used to make? Let me try it."

Alicia took the spoon from Anliang's hand, not minding that it was covered in his saliva, and scooped a spoonful of curry into her cherry-like mouth.

"Hmm, it seems to taste alright. Could it be that Miss Fairy's cooking skills have improved?!"

"Indian food is heavily seasoned. With so much masala and turmeric powder, even if you boil a slipper, it will still taste the same."

An Liang chuckled and made a teasing remark, which immediately earned him a glare from the girl.

"Hmph, believe it or not, next time Miss Fairy will really cook your slippers to eat?"

Alicia put her hands on her hips and gently stepped on Anliang with her fair, slippery feet.

"Okay, remember to put your used slippers in when you cook it, otherwise I won't eat it."

An Liang said calmly, while reaching out to pat the girl's sexy, fleshy legs.

This made Alicia's pretty face turn bright red, and she felt as if all her strength had been drained, so she leaned limply against Anliang's chest.

"You pervert Anliang, you wouldn't happen to be a foot fetishist, would you?"

"Miss Fairy, after squeezing me so many times, don't you understand my XP system?"

Anliang buried his face in Alicia's hair, inhaling the girl's faint fragrance, and then gently kissed her burning earlobe with his thin lips.

"My tastes aren't that narrow. I love every part of a seductive little vixen like you!"

"Woo!"

Alicia felt as if she had been electrocuted. The tingling sensation that started from her earlobe spread all the way to her heart, stirring up the spring fever in the already infatuated girl.

If reality were loaded with certain features from adult-oriented games, a pink heart would definitely appear above Alicia's head at this moment.

She's usually the one who flirts with Anliang, but I never expected him to be so proactive today...

Alicia swallowed hard, feeling the male hormones so close to her, and a bold idea flashed through her little head.

Come to think of it, she and Anliang haven't done "that" in the kitchen yet. Maybe today will be a chance to unlock a new scene?

Just as Alicia couldn't help but attack Anra...

Anliang suddenly released his embrace, calmly took a step back, and turned to walk to the cabinet.

"Eh?!"

Alicia's little hand touched nothing, and she instinctively let out a cute gasp.

She was so close, so very close, to securing Anliang's future, but Anliang left at the most crucial moment.

"Alicia? What happened?"

Anliang took a bag of flour from the cupboard and turned around with some confusion.

"No, nothing..."

Alicia's cheeks flushed crimson, and her round toes, encased in white stockings, couldn't help but dig into the ground.

She couldn't very well say that she had just tried to make a move on Anliang and do something naughty, but failed and was a little disappointed, could she?

Wouldn't that make her look like a lustful, unsatisfied vixen?!

Alicia wasn't as open about this as Anra, a veteran, so she could only suppress her embarrassing shyness and try to avoid the topic by changing the subject.

"By the way, Anliang, why did you suddenly go get the flour?"

"Of course it's for tonight's main dish. You don't think curry is meant to be eaten on its own, do you?"

An Liang's gaze swept across the girl's pretty face, and he said with a half-smile.

How could he not guess Alicia's thoughts...?

Moreover, actively teasing Alicia and then making a sudden move to escape when the girl wanted it was all part of Anra's plan.

Although he was usually the one being teased and forcibly exploited, this was just Anliang's doting on Alicia, not because he liked being passive.

Sometimes, when mischief strikes, Anliang will retaliate in this way, leaving Alicia itching with desire but helpless, thus training the girl's willpower.

Being obsessed with men is not good, so let your husband help you quit!

An Liang's lips curled slightly, and he forced a serious expression as he poured out a large bowl of flour under Alicia's resentful gaze, skillfully adding water and eggs to it.

"I'll fry a few pancakes now to go with your curry, what do you think?"

"Hey, why is your face so red, like you have a fever? Don't you want to eat pancakes? How about I pull them into noodles and make curry noodles?!"

Under Anliang's seemingly unintentional questions, the girl's last bit of health was depleted, leaving her looking like a wilted eggplant, unable to speak.

no doubt……

Today's outcome is Alicia's defeat!

P.S.: Master An effortlessly outmaneuvered the lecherous vixen, but can he maintain that composure when faced with a host of equally experienced "ex-girlfriends"?

Big Duck's turn is coming again, and because of Bronya, other Valkyries may enter the fray at any time. The protagonist doesn't have much time left. The exciting show is about to begin, hehehe!

Chapter 42 Is Seele coming?

While Anliang was playing mind games with Alicia, Bronya wasn't idle either.

Inside the hotel's presidential suite...

The girl with long, light gray hair sat in a chair, adjusted her laptop's camera, and then started a video conference.

"Bronya, I heard you've acquired a game company in Sky City and officially established your own studio?"

A mature and composed middle-aged man appeared on the computer screen.

He wore black-rimmed glasses, a dark blue scarf around his neck, and a long gray coat. He crossed his hands under his chin, striking Commander Ikari's signature pose.

If An Liang saw this, he would definitely recognize the middle-aged man instantly as Walter Yang, the current leader of Anti-Entropy!

In the past, Anliang and Lao Yang had a pretty good relationship.

After all, among the combatants fighting against the Honkai, the two were among the few men, and both were artists.

Although Lao Yang likes to draw mecha and Houmu comics, and An Liang is keen on drawing adult-oriented doujinshi, they are still considered colleagues.

However, in this entirely new timeline...

Anliang and Lao Yang had not yet met. The former was so down on his luck at the beginning that he had to live off a certain fairy, while the latter was still the leader of Anti-Entropy Entertainment. He was making great strides in this world where the strength of Destiny had declined because there was no Honkai. He once led Anti-Entropy to surpass Destiny with the Houmu IP and was regarded by many as a legendary animation producer.

Pulling away, get back to business.

Bronya greeted Lao Yang on the other end of the video call with a serious expression.

"Good evening, teacher. I have indeed started a game studio, and the name is ETStudio."

Bronya's adoptive mother, Cocolia, runs the orphanage and is also a director of Anti-Entropy Entertainment.

Because of this connection, Bronya, who had been by Cocolia's side since childhood, was noticed by Welt Young early on after she showed her talent and became Young's only student.

After recalling her memories of her past life, Bronya also reflected on the convergence of the world lines.

She never imagined that she would become Walter Yang's student in this life, and even be groomed as the successor of Anti-Entropy.

"Principle Studio? A long time ago, before I took over Anti-Entropy, that was the name of the animation company I founded."

Walter Young pushed up his glasses, his tone tinged with nostalgia.

Time really flies.

She was once just a tiny little boy, barely taller than his thigh, but now she has grown into a graceful young woman and is beginning to inherit his mantle.

"Bronya, I have high hopes for your studio."

Walter Young encouraged his student, then his expression turned serious. "But are you really not going to take over Anti-Entropy Entertainment's branch in China?"

"Teacher, I know you have always believed in me and expect me to lead Anti-Entropy Entertainment to greater success one day."

Bronya pursed her lips, her beautiful eyes flashing with determination.

"But it is precisely to live up to your expectations that I want to open a studio to hone my skills and prove to everyone that I am capable of taking over Anti-Entropy Entertainment from your hands."

"That's exactly what happened. I understand."

Walter Young nodded, a satisfied smile spreading across his face.

When students grow up and want to try to forge their own path, their teachers naturally won't object.

"Go for it! If you have any questions about starting a business, feel free to ask me anytime."

Walter Yang smiled and said, "By the way, your studio has just been established, so you must be short-staffed. Do you need to recruit a few people from Anti-Entropy Entertainment?"

"No need to trouble yourself, teacher. I have enough people at the moment."

Bronya shook her head, looking well-prepared.

This surprised Lao Yang.

"You found a suitable employee so quickly?"

"Well, I'm very lucky. One is a screenwriter who was willing to stay from his previous company, and the other is an illustrator who happened to be here for an interview. Plus Bronya herself, that's enough to meet the development needs of a small-scale game."

"It sounds like you're quite satisfied with those two employees?"

"They are both very capable people, especially the illustrator, who is quite sought after... cough, anyway, with these two around, Bronya is confident in making a good game."

Bronya realized the topic was almost off-topic as she was talking, and quickly corrected it.

"Haha, capable people are naturally in high demand. Back when your teacher, me, hadn't yet taken over Anti-Entropy, I was even poached by Otto of Schicksal."

Walter Young said with a smile.

He never imagined that the girl's "hot commodity" meant something else entirely, and that the girl was the one she intended to steal.

"The teacher was actually poached by that discerning man Tianming, that's really impressive!"

Bronya lowered her eyes somewhat guiltily, avoiding eye contact with her teacher.

"Hey, those are all things of the past, not worth mentioning."

Old Yang didn't notice the girl's strange behavior, casually waved his hand, and then got back to the main topic.

"Since you have no shortage of talent under your command, given your personality, you should already be preparing to make a game, right? What are your plans?"

"We plan to use a visual novel as the studio's first game, with a theme and background drawn from the late Ming Dynasty period of Chinese history..."

Bronya shared her thoughts but concealed her personal reasons for choosing this subject.

"Yes, making Galgames is indeed a good choice for inexperienced game studios, and this genre should have a large market in China."

Walter Young listened for a while, and then offered advice based on his own experience.

"The game's concept is fantastic, and I won't say anything more. But there's an old Chinese saying that even the best wine needs advertising. Sometimes, game distribution is just as important as game development. Once you've made a good game, you can leverage Anti-Entropy's distribution channels."

"Thank you, teacher. I will if necessary."

Bronya gave a polite smile, but the unspoken message was that she didn't want to rely on her elders for help.

The child has grown up and learned to be independent...

Walter Young sighed again, then paused, and spoke with a smile.

"Since you've made your decision, there's nothing I can do to help you for now, but your studio might soon have a familiar little helper, since St. Freya's summer vacation is coming up soon."

"You mean...Seele?"

Bronya paused for a moment, then seemed to realize something.

Old Yang nodded in confirmation of Bronya's guess, and the girl immediately showed a look of surprise.

If Seele comes over, she'll have a wingman, making it easier for her to create opportunities to woo the captain in the studio.

I imagine Seele would be quite happy to have a brother-in-law.

Bronya's lips curled into a slight smile as she ended the video conference amidst pleasant daydreams.
