"The deal requires that you fall in love with me after the deal is done."

“You remember it very clearly, you keep it in your heart, you care about it too much because you hate trading.”

The robin is unwilling to use its heart as a bargaining chip.

She had never loved anyone, and her view of love was sacred. In her eyes, transactions were dirty, and using her heart as a bargaining chip infuriated her.

"Can you take back the deal? I bet I'd like you even more if there wasn't a fixed price tag."

The robin rises with a glimmer of hope.

"Then can you withdraw this request?"

Jiang Wei countered with a question, his finger lingering on the robin's beak, gently teasing her.

The robin picked up the wine glass and gulped down the red wine in one go.

She harbored a sliver of resentment.

"Taking advantage of my feelings for you, you took advantage of me and deliberately chose the methods that I found most unbearable."

Slightly drunk, the robin became bolder, gazing at him gently with her bright eyes.

"Why? Jiang Wei, just be more compliant with me~"

"That will have to wait until later."

"Are you worried I'll push my luck? That I'll make you give up the deal today, and then have you all to myself tomorrow?"

"Do not."

Jiang Wei decided to publish a very awful statement.

When it comes to robins, being a jerk is a small matter.

Just explain the problem clearly and don't let her overthink it.

Because she had been kept in the dark by Sunday once, she lacked trust in others.

"I'm attracted to your body, I'm honest. Liking you is only a small part of the reason. If you want more, that's fine, but you have to please me. It's too early to talk about anything else now."

The robin snapped back to reality, the lingering red wine in its mouth tasting somewhat bitter.

She and Jiang Wei had only known each other for a short time, and it was always Jiang Wei who helped her. When it came to discussing feelings, he probably didn't have a deep understanding of them.

Knowing that Jiang Wei didn't simply treat her as a plaything was enough.

"...I'm defeated by you."

Although she was cheated on, she felt happy.

"Scumbag."

Softly murmuring, the robin untied the bow in Jiang Wei's arms.

He doesn't need to do anything.

The beautiful evening gown, still warm to the touch, hung beside Jiang Wei, its smoothness beyond description.

Jiang Wei smelled the girl's fragrance, mixed with the rich aroma of red wine, a unique and intoxicating scent.

"I'm sorry, Jiang Wei. I neglected your feelings. I don't hate trading anymore; on the contrary, I should thank it, otherwise I wouldn't have been lucky enough to meet you."

The robin tilted its head, its skin as white as jade, and its eyes, filled with affection, stared intently at Jiang Wei.

Should I take the initiative?

"I'll teach you. Skipping steps isn't good for you. You like gentle types."

Jiang Wei whispered something in her ear, which seemed to be some kind of instruction.

The robin's cheeks flushed crimson in an instant.

……

Wonderful times slip by quietly.

The new panel for the natural disaster ascension quietly floated in Jiang Wei's field of vision.

He ignored it.

The music was tender and melodious. He asked a question, and the girl's shy response was tinged with a hint of bashfulness.

【Name: Cradle Paradise】

[Type: Calamity Empire System]

[Description: This civilization is keen on sealing away the beautiful things in the galaxy, tearing apart all things with words and deeds of protection, leaving only a wisp of eternal emptiness; this ascension is compatible with "Star Sea Heavenly Punishment" and "Cosmic Creation";]

The Cataclysm progression is divided into 5 stages, each with a different advancement method: lv1 Genesis Specimen, lv2 Causal Convergence, lv3 Eternal Truncation, lv4 Finite Theory, lv5 Galactic Shackles; each stage unlocks 3 special buffs.

Chapter 45 The New Saintess, the Robin

The robin was very obedient, following Jiang Wei's wishes and fulfilling all his requests.

This gave him a very good feeling.

Especially its soft, white wings, pale pink skin, and glistening, fragrant sweat.

It felt like a holy angel had been brought down to the mortal world.

Jiang Wei lost track of time.

The first stage of the "Cradle Paradise" ascension is called "Genesis Specimen," which has three benefits.

They are: the Equation of Survival, Common Rise and Fall, and the Greenhouse Garden.

Once the conditions are met, it will be unlocked.

[Survival Equation: Empire's total health +45%, Destiny Energy +70%, Population growth rate +35%, Fleet movement speed +55%, "Mind Matter" can be used to improve population quality]

[Shared Rise and Fall: Unlocked by signing a "Shared Defense Treaty" with a civilization/collectible]

[Greenhouse Garden: Unlocked by sheltering a civilization/collectible and enforcing the "Optimized Propagation Treaty"]

Jiang Wei examines the newly unlocked mental matter in the "Equation of Survival".

It refers to the elements of a dream, the quality of a dream, and the subtle nuances.

All the spiritual matter in the empire has been upgraded and can be directly absorbed to increase destiny experience.

Long-term consumption can enhance mental sensitivity, thereby naturally awakening dreamlike qualities.

Unlocking the Shared Rise and Fall: According to the "Mutual Defense Treaty," contracting civilizations must commit to each other that the other must provide military support when either party is attacked from the outside.

Another treaty was very imperial in character.

[Optimized Reproduction Treaty: To prevent the premature demise of civilizations, the Empire allows unidirectional migration and reproduction of cradle civilizations, with rulers customizing reproduction plans to give birth to a superior new generation.]

As a ruler, Jiang Wei gained a new trait: "Lord of Paradise".

[Lord of Paradise: This ruler is immortal and governs a paradise in the real dimension. He is skilled at using "sealing" technology to stop time and sever causal connections.]

"Sealing" manifests as a time freeze, with its effect increasing with the level of the natural disaster.

Currently, it can influence the range of a star system, and the size of the range can be freely adjusted.

Consumes 1 Dream Element per minute, and can be refilled infinitely.

During the time stop, the cause and effect between the inside and outside will be broken, and the outside cannot observe the inside, nor can it interfere in any way.

Using "Sealed" outside of the Dreamland consumes ten times the normal amount of resources.

Thinking this, Jiang Wei increased his attack speed.

"pain……"

Glistening teardrops fell to the ground.

"No...slow down, ah~"

The robin fought on for several hours, but was ultimately defeated.

……

A warm and cozy morning.

As the first rays of sunlight streamed into the room.

The air was filled with the rich fragrance of flowers, and there were traces of chaos everywhere, with skirts wrinkled and torn.

Jiang Wei's first impression was that it was very soft, but it felt different from the touch of a girl's skin.

The thing covering my face felt softer to the touch, had little weight, and felt warm like sunshine.

He touched it and realized it was a robin's wing.

The food at Tianhuanzu is really good.

The "Heavenly Ring" grants the robin a slight spiritual ability. Jiang Wei deliberately amplifies the effects of the Heavenly Ring, increasing its sensitivity, which the robin finds unbearable.

When excited, the wings would stick to Jiang Wei's face or hug him; that subconscious entanglement was quite interesting.

"Good morning."

Jiang Wei gently pinched the robin's cheek.

The robin, just awakened, was still in a daze.

Slightly more awake, her face flushed, she pushed Jiang Wei away.

But she was very weak.

Jiang Wei hugged her even tighter.

"Woo..."

The robin cried out in protest.

"Get up quickly."

Upon hearing Jiang Wei's words, the robin turned its head away, looking completely bewildered.

She wasn't used to waking up in Jiang Wei's arms.

So shy, my girlish heart is breaking.

"You, you get up first."

"Don't be silly, I'm so lazy, I'm waiting for you to serve me."

The robin was so tired that his whole body ached and he had no strength left.

He gasped for breath, trying to get up, but could do nothing but cry out in pain.

She looked at Jiang Wei pitifully and decided to act cute.

"Jiang Wei, I'm sorry, please get up and cook, I'm hungry."

"Didn't I feed you until you were full last night?"

"Don't mention it, I'm embarrassed."

“I can tell, that’s why I’m saying it.”

Jiang Wei had a terrible personality.

[Event: Attempt to awaken a trait for an Imperial citizen]

[Description: Based on past experience, we are now able to guide the resonance of spiritual energy more precisely, helping individuals awaken their dreamlike qualities;]

The robin is now ready; her innate talent for harmony has given scientists new inspiration, and perhaps we can try to actively create similar traits.

【choose……】

[Increased research stipend: Star Jade -1200, Advanced Depravity Crystal -1; "Robin" gained a Dreamlike Trait "Rhythm Harmony"]

[Next time: The incident is over]

After regaining some strength, Robin prepared to get up, but Jiang Wei grabbed her arm first.
