I really didn't want to burn it.

Gilgamesh chuckled awkwardly as he explained. After all, it was a battle that had left him injured; he wasn't so heartless as to laugh out loud.

"Don't worry, the injury isn't too serious. And I've already captured the beast."

Mashu immediately asked, "Did Leon ask you, King Gilgamesh, to do something outrageous?"

Gilgamesh nodded, thinking that Leon had damaged part of his precious Chains of Heaven.

"Yes, it's a really outrageous thing."

"Is Nafiel going to help King Gilgamesh?"

While teasing Phil, Mashu continued to press for answers.

“Yes,” Gilgamesh nodded again, “it was also injured while helping me.”

"How could this be... How could Leon have become like this!" Mashu clenched her fists angrily. "King Gilgamesh, I will make Leon pay the price."

"Then I'll look forward to it."

Gilgamesh suppressed a laugh and nodded in response to Mashu.

However, Merlin had already seen through everything.

"King Gilgamesh, you deliberately made Mashu misunderstand, didn't you?"

"Yes, it's all because that guy Li Ang broke my treasure."

Gilgamesh readily admitted it.

"Meow~"

Dufy let out a babyish whimper in Mashu's arms. It stretched out its paws and kneaded Mashu's marshmallow-like body, turning the two soft, fluffy things into a throne that was more comfortable for its own body.

"Meow~meow~"

Lying in his blissful world, Phil began to snore contentedly.

"Achoo! Damn it, who's talking about me behind my back?"

At the entrance of the Ishtar Temple, Li Ang, rubbing his neck, sneezed as he walked out of the temple gate.

"However, that should work, right? Using the Chains of Heaven and the Flood to restrain that bull should be fine."

Li Ang stretched lazily and plopped down on the steps by the door.

"I'm so exhausted."

After overcoming numerous hardships, Li Ang finally managed to subdue the Bull of Heaven, which filled him with a sense of satisfaction.

"You should thank Phil properly about this, Master."

DD, who was following behind Li Ang, whispered a reminder.

"Of course I know that."

Li Ang shrugged his shoulders.

The berserk Bull of Heaven was indeed very strong; Li Ang even felt that it was on par with Tyrion Lannister, who had already reached the first-tier state.

However, with Phil drawing fire after his dragon form and Gilgamesh's feint attack, Leon successfully dealt with that old bull.

"But you only gave Phil a basic treatment and then dumped him on Gilgamesh," DD pouted slightly and complained. "What kind of master are you?"

The opportunity that Phil and Gilgamesh created for Leon didn't come for nothing; as a price, they both suffered serious injuries.

After giving them a simple treatment, Li Ang parted ways with them.

Li Ang's behavior displeased DD.

Gilgamesh is one thing, but as the king of Uruk, he should return to his country as soon as possible.

But what about Phil?

"The poor little kitten was rejected by its owner. What a heartless owner."

DD chuckled coldly and mocked.

"I don't have any."

Li Ang quickly got up, his hand naturally wrapping around DD's slender waist, and whispered, "It's clearly that black cat who's fickle; he doesn't want his owner anymore now that he has Cotton Candy."

That was obviously a joke, but it's true that Phil wanted to go back with Gilgamesh.

Phil's appearance by Li Ang's side this time was completely unexpected. Although Phil provided Li Ang with a lot of help, it was indeed Phil's own decision.

Leon placed Phil next to Mash and Ritsuka as their last line of defense.

Phil was aware of the problem of abandoning his post, so after receiving simple treatment, he quickly followed Gilgamesh back.

Of course, whether lying on a marshmallow to recover from an injury will make him heal faster depends on the actual results.

"Hmph, that's easy for you to say. You're happy to see Phil leave, aren't you?"

DD hummed, but her body language betrayed her, and she snuggled into the man's arms.

"Well... I never try to hide my cat from people."

Li Ang laughed heartily, but his hand, which was on DD's waist, began to move down restlessly, slowly but surely touching the maid's pert little buttocks.

After a while, DD suddenly grabbed Li Ang's wrist.

"That's enough, we should go."

The maid warned without any emotion.

Li Ang stared at her for a long time, then nodded resignedly.

"Okay, we'll continue later."

Li Ang didn't care; it was just a difference of a few hours earlier or later.

P.S.: I'm exhausted. After visiting the graves today, my mother kept dragging me around until I didn't get home until evening.

Mimi-chan will check the typos tomorrow. I'm going to sleep now, I really can't stay awake any longer. _(:з」∠)_

Chapter 221 Breakfast in Uruk

For Leon, the most memorable thing about the mornings in Uruk was the crisp, clean air.

The air in Xianyang, the capital of the Qin Dynasty, has become somewhat polluted due to various developments and industrial production.

Although the air quality here is far superior to that of modern cities, it still falls short of the truly pristine natural environment of Uruk.

"Hmm...it's going to be another nice day."

As Li Ang spoke, he put his arm around the soft body of the little maid beside him.

"Master, it's time for you to get up."

DD sighed heavily and reminded him in a helpless voice.

"Um, can you help me get dressed?"

Li Ang had never known how to write the phrase "to take an inch and then a mile".

Or rather, he knew the spelling of the word so well that he would take advantage of every opportunity to do so.

Having served as Li Ang's maid for so many years, DD was well aware of her master's nature.

So, as Li Ang went further and further, his hand reached around the maid's waist and pinched her proud breasts.

The maid, in a completely emotionless voice, commanded, "Get up."

"Ok."

The cowardly Imperial Advisor Li immediately stood up.

However, before getting out of bed, Li Ang still took the time to pinch her.

Well, it feels good.

Calling this girl "DD" back then was definitely the right thing to do.

Li Ang nodded in satisfaction.

"Owner!"

DD sat up after being "attacked" and gave Li Ang a sweet cry.

The blanket that had been covering her slipped off without any resistance, exposing her snow-white skin to the air.

"Don't go too far!"

DD frowned and glared at Li Ang.

"Haha, it's just flirting between husband and wife, don't take it too seriously."

Li Ang tossed the maid outfit to DD with a grin.

"What kind of couple are you! If you do that again..."

DD grumbled as she got off the bed, her delicate little feet stepping onto the soft animal hair carpet, like a lotus emerging from the water.

Li Ang resisted the urge to play with the maid's small feet and delay breakfast by half an hour, and turned around to get dressed.

DD rolled her eyes at her owner, then started getting dressed and fixing her hair in front of the mirror that Li Ang had made for her.

Taking advantage of his quick dressing speed, Li Ang finished his work first and walked behind DD.

"Hmm, so beautiful. No wonder she's my personal maid."

Li Ang wrapped his arms around the maid's neck from behind, kissed her on the cheek, and carefully examined her reflection in the mirror.

"Owner."

"What's wrong?" Li Ang asked.

"Please discuss this tonight; it's already daytime now."

DD's elbow struck Li Ang in the stomach.

“That’s not what you said when you were holding me last night,” Li Ang said, feigning anger. “Who was it that put their arms around my neck and said ‘anytime’?”

"Pah! You believed what you said back then? I'm starting to doubt your intelligence, Master."

DD gave Li Ang a push.

"Okay, let's stop making trouble."

Li Ang released DD and sat on the edge of the bed, then opened the system pop-up window and started browsing.

Although DD couldn't see the golden pop-up in Li Ang's line of sight, he was used to Li Ang's behavior.

"I'll go prepare breakfast."

DD turned and left the room.

As she stepped out of the room, she stopped, turned around, and said, "Master, don't forget to go find that Miss Gao later. She needs to see you."

DD gritted his teeth when he mentioned Secretary Fox.

"understood."

Li Ang waved his hand dismissively, showing little interest.

"I hope you really know."

DD shook his head slightly and left the room.

Li Ang continued to browse the messages in the mourning system.

[Congratulations, host, on completing the mission: [Recreating the Myth - Subduing the Heavenly Bull]]

[The host has received the following rewards: Skill "Storm - God King Level"; Skill "Change Size - Enlarge - Level IV".]

Don't be fooled by the fact that capturing the Bull of Heaven only yields two skills; when converted into points in the mourning system, both skills are considered to be of the highest S rank.

Although these two skills were specifically designed as rewards for this operation to capture Tiamat, they are much more versatile than the lightning resistance skill used when fighting Zeus.

The [Storm] skill is quite good even as a regular attack skill, and the God-King level [Storm] can even create a level 12 typhoon in an instant without charging.
