After the proposal, the Valkyrie came to the door

Even if it means chaining the captain, locking him in a cage, and keeping him by your side like a pet...

They were willing to do anything!

In this life, even death cannot separate them from their captain!

PS: After a day of research, I've finally managed to write a satisfyingly twisted story. Bai Xi is rather naive and innocent; even after being reborn, she will keep her promise for life, and her emotions are quite heavy. Hei Xi, on the other hand, is a complete yandere and is the main force of Nu Bronya.

But whether it's Seele or Bronya, they'll ultimately face a formidable obstacle—an obstacle named "Alicia"—and an ever-growing number of rivals. Whether the protagonists will struggle desperately or simply give up is something to look forward to, hehehe!

Chapter 66 Daily Life in the Golden Garden

Monday, April 5th.

It's that time of year again when Paru has to work.

Unaware that a bloody crisis was gradually approaching, Anliang got up early and started his morning exercise as usual, then went into the kitchen to make breakfast for two... oh, now four people.

Because of Mebius and Gretchen's presence, Alicia felt too embarrassed to make any advances towards him.

So Anliang had a good rest this weekend and had plenty of energy to show off his culinary skills and make a delicious breakfast.

Pots and pans roared, while oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar submitted...

On Leung was like a legendary master chef, displaying a dazzling array of skills, and in less than an hour he served up plate after plate of classic Cantonese dim sum.

Fried spring rolls, steamed rice noodle rolls, steamed shumai, crystal shrimp dumplings, Portuguese egg tarts, xiaolongbao (soup dumplings), char siu bao (barbecued pork buns), water chestnut cake...

When Alicia brought Mebius and Gretchen into the living room, the table was already laden with a dazzling array of exquisite desserts.

As the morning sun pierced through the rising steam, the food seemed to glow with a golden light!

"The food is glowing... wait, is this the Tyndall effect?"

Still dressed in a white lab coat, Möbius was taken aback when he saw the table full of Cantonese dim sum, his emerald green snake eyes seeming somewhat surprised.

Greta, smelling the aroma of the food, looked at Anliang with adoration as her amethyst eyes sparkled.

"Brother Anliang, you're amazing."

"Haha, it's just a small dish, I'm sorry for the poor hospitality!"

After finishing his work, Master An took off his apron and said modestly, but the corners of his mouth couldn't be suppressed by a smile.

A chef's greatest sense of accomplishment comes from the praise of diners, let alone from being complimented by a lovely little girl like Gretchen.

"I never expected Anliang to be such a good cook. In my opinion, your cooking skills are even better than Qianjie's, right?"

Mebius popped a crystal shrimp dumpling into his mouth and savored it.

The fresh and smooth shrimp meat paired with the slightly chewy, translucent dumpling skin is absolutely delicious, both in appearance and taste.

"Master Qian's cooking skills are also quite good; these simple tea snacks are nothing to him."

Anliang recalled the Golden Courtyard butler who never took off his mask and answered seriously.

Qianjie's control over the heat was exquisite, and he was proficient in frying, stir-frying, roasting, and deep-frying. His culinary skills were so superb that Anliang was itching to try his hand at cooking and wanted to find an opportunity to compete with him.

As expected, Qianjie should have the same idea.

Master chefs are drawn to each other, and sooner or later they will have a true food battle in the Golden Courtyard!

An Liang's heart was filled with excitement, while he heard Mebius's comments.

"Perhaps Qianjie's cooking skills are indeed no less than yours, but besides cooking skills, a chef's attitude is also very important. No one likes to encounter a chef with a bad attitude, so I still think you are better than Qianjie."

"Hmm, Mebius, Thousand Calamities is only really mean to you."

Sitting next to Anliang, Alicia swallowed the xiaolongbao in her mouth and said with a smile, "It's not good to make prejudiced judgments, you know. If Qianjie hears this, he'll be sad~!"

"Really? I think Qianjie would just scoff and say that scientists who like instant noodles have such poor taste."

Möbius scoffed, "So what if you like instant noodles? Everyone has someone who likes instant noodles."

"..."

Anliang and Alicia exchanged a glance, and finally, the pink fairy was the first to laugh.

"Oh my, Möbius, you're talking like you've experienced it all firsthand! It seems you and Qianjie have a pretty good relationship!"

"Me and Qianjie? Don't be ridiculous, Alicia, isn't all this food enough to shut you up?"

Mebius said in a cold tone, but anyone except a deaf person could hear a hint of stubbornness in his voice.

"Speaking of which, no wonder you look like you've gained weight, Alicia. After all, you have a boyfriend who cooks so well, and you can't control your eating, so your weight must have been increasing."

Alicia, who had been smiling, froze.

Both she and Mebius have mature, sophisticated figures, but Mebius's waist is as slender as a water snake, while she appears more voluptuous.

In addition, Anliang's cuisine always whets the appetite...

Alicia's weight has indeed increased compared to the past, and even though she has been trying to control it, she hasn't been able to lose much weight.

"Ahem, how can you call it fat if you've only gained a little weight? This is called just the right amount of plumpness."

Alicia acted as if she didn't care, but subtly moved the half-eaten fried spring roll into Anra's bowl.

Fried foods are too high in calories, so it's best to eat them sparingly.

An Liang shrugged, not exposing the girl's little scheme, casually ate the fried spring roll, and then fed it to Gretchen, who had turned into a little glutton.

“Come, Gretchen, try this Portuguese egg tart. I made it especially for your taste.”

"Thank you, Brother Anliang! I like Brother Anliang the most!"

The little girl's sweet smile melted Anliang's heart.

Meanwhile, the fairy and snake beside them were a little jealous and stopped bickering, starting to feed Gretchen, trying to replace Anliang in Gretchen's heart.

Unfortunately...

Even after breakfast was over, the little girl still loved her brother Anliang the most.

"Haha, I'm going to work now, so I'll leave things at home to you."

With a victor's smile, Anliang changed his shoes at the door and then looked at Alicia.

"Well, Mebius is going to Shencheng Medical Center later, so I'll stay home with little Gretchen today... Don't look at me with that worried look, I won't take Gretchen to try Indian food."

Seeing that Anliang was hesitant to speak and started telling her what to do with the food in the refrigerator, Alicia couldn't help but stomp her foot.

She had previously recreated Indian cuisine and posted the video online, which garnered a lot of views. She tried it a few more times afterward, but she's not only good at making Indian food!

"That would be for the best, Gretchen. You must keep a close eye on Alicia and make sure she doesn't cause any trouble."

Anliang smiled at Gretchen, who was running over, and gently ruffled the little girl's long, silky, sky-blue hair.

Gretchen squinted her eyes with obvious enjoyment, then said with a serious expression.

"It's just a little cricket, Brother Anliang, you can leave it to me without worry."

Hmm, that's a nickname...

It seems that Gretchen has started to be influenced by him because they spent too much time together yesterday!

An Liang awkwardly looked up and found that Mebius was looking at Alicia with a thoughtful look, while Alicia gave him a shy glare.

"I didn't teach Gretchen to call me that... Anyway, I'm going to be late, so I'm going to work now!"

An Liang chuckled dryly, then turned and ran away.

Let Gretchen stand next to Alicia and keep her in check. If Gretchen keeps mimicking his speech, he'll probably end up just like that guy named Kosmo, constantly talking nonsense!

P.S.: This is just a glimpse into some simple, sweet everyday moments, a calm before the storm. By the way, the story of Mebius and Gretchen is almost over. Who will be the next hero to appear?

Chapter 67 Ranking of the Valkyrie's Jade Feet

Principles Studio.

Anliang took out his employee ID card, swiped it on the access control, and then walked in with practiced ease.

He arrived early today. Qingque, who always arrives on time, hadn't arrived yet, but Bronya was already in the studio.

The girl in light gray always dressed in a professional outfit on weekdays: a women's blazer, a pencil skirt, and black stockings, showing off her long legs. Her name tag was hanging in front of her full chest, giving her a mature yet innocent and alluring vibe.

If Bronya had served as his secretary in this manner on the Hyperion, he probably would have had a hard time concentrating on his work.

Unfortunately, the Heavenly Gang has now been reversed...

Big Duck became his boss, and his workstation was right next to his, making it difficult for him to even take a break from fishing.

An Liang sighed inwardly, then waved to the girl who was casually making a phone call while sitting at her desk.

Bronya saw An Liang immediately, but because she was on the phone, she couldn't greet him verbally and could only smile and nod at him.

Who is Big Duck talking to on the phone so early in the morning?

Anliang didn't think much of it. He sat down at his workstation, turned on his computer, connected his graphics tablet, and then glanced at the girl out of the corner of his eye.

As the saying goes, "A mountain range appears from one angle and a peak from another."

From An Liang's current perspective, Bronya's already beautiful figure became even more prominent, and because the girl was sitting on the table, her beautiful legs covered in black stockings were completely exposed in mid-air, allowing people to admire them openly.

Although not as voluptuous as Alicia's legs, he could still play with Big Duck's legs for a year... provided he was still single.

Anliang rubbed his chin with his hand, suddenly had a flash of inspiration, picked up a paintbrush, glanced at the girl beside him from time to time, and then scribbled and modified on the graphics tablet.

"My dear subordinate, what are you doing?"

After finishing her call, Bronya immediately turned her head and looked down at Anliang.

The girl had already noticed that the captain's gaze was fixed on her legs.

At first, Bronya thought the captain was attracted by her charm, and that her strategy last week had been effective. However, she later discovered that this was not the case.

The captain's expression was somewhat excited, but that was when he was drawing; when he looked at her, it was completely indifferent.

"Huh? Bronya, you've finished your call?"

An Liang paused, his paintbrush stilling in his hand, and withdrew from his creative state.

"Yes, I was just talking to Seele about the house. This morning, the developer of this building completed the formalities and sold me the apartment above the studio. Once I buy the furniture and other things, you can rest or eat at Bronya's house whenever you want."

The girl pointed to the ceiling and then asked with a serious expression.

"You still haven't answered the question from before. What were you drawing while looking at Bronya?"

"Well, isn't there a scene in our game where the male protagonist changes Man Sui's shoes?"

An Liang snapped his fingers and said cheerfully, "I thought your pose was quite suitable, so I used it as a reference to draw it."

With such a beautiful boss like Bronya in front of you, all you can think about is drawing?!

The girl gave off a flirtatious look, as if she were giving a wooden look to him, her pretty face habitually displaying a (? ? ?) expression.

Fortunately, Bronya was already aware of the difficulty of the captain's strategy, so she didn't get discouraged for long. After adjusting her mindset, she took the opportunity to launch an attack.

"Since it helps with drawing, Anliang, why don't you take a closer look?"

Bronya's lips curled into a slightly playful smile as she spoke softly.

"Huh? I've already seen most of it..."

An Liang was taken aback and wanted to refuse.

Before she could finish speaking, Bronya had already raised her shapely, long legs, kicked off her high heels, and then boldly extended her black-stockinged feet toward Anliang.

Because of the distance between the workstations, the girl's feet didn't reach Anliang's face... but they weren't far either.

Anliang watched as the slender feet wrapped in black silk fabric rapidly magnified before his eyes, then stopped twenty centimeters away.

Sunlight streamed in through the window, lingering on the girl's toes, her slender arches tracing a beautiful arc in mid-air.

An Liang couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

At this distance, he could vaguely see the blue veins under the skin of Bronya's instep through the thin black stockings, and her slightly curled toes were round and smooth, as clear and translucent as pearls.

Hmm, it doesn't seem to have any strange smell.

This is normal, though. It's only morning, and Bronya hasn't moved around much, so her feet are naturally very clean.
