She clung to him like an octopus, one hand gripping his arm tightly, muttering in her sleep.
“Mine…it’s all mine…money…no, even the boss’s money…”
Zhou Ye's lips twitched.
Goodness, you're even asserting your dominance in your dreams. Typical you, you little money-grubber.
He tried to move his body, but it triggered the "mechanism" on the other side.
Her long, wine-red hair cascaded down like a waterfall, and Rias Gremory's haughty sleeping face was right in front of her.
Even when she was asleep, she maintained a noble elegance, but her slightly furrowed brows and the way she tightly hugged his other arm betrayed her inner insecurity.
Zhou Ye sighed.
Last night, the dignity of this "official wife" was probably shattered to pieces.
His gaze passed over Rias and landed on Akeno Himejima, who was sleeping beside the bed.
The cunning older sister was sleeping peacefully, a satisfied smile on her lips. Her semi-transparent lace kimono was in complete disarray.
On the other side is Saeko Busujima.
Her sleeping posture was the most upright, with her hands folded in front of her body, like a famous sword sheathed, serene yet still concealing its sharpness.
Nanri Kaori and Shizuka Marikawa slept in each other's arms. Since leaving the world with Zhou Ye, there were no zombies, no treacherous workplace relationships, and no scheming superiors and subordinates. Even though this world had mythical demons and angels, it was still much easier than the previous world.
Thinking back to last night's game, that intense Three Kingdoms Kill match—the Lord, the Traitor, the Loyal Minister, and the Rebel—the scheming and fighting among the three factions was truly thrilling.
Night falls, stars are few, and the sound of war drums shakes the clouds.
The war horn was first sounded by Nami and Rias, the "temporary allies".
One of them shouted "first come, first served" while the other declared "the rightful ruler's sovereignty," launching a direct pincer attack on him from both sides.
[The cold gleam of iron armor gleams in the moonlight, smoke signals rise from all sides, and horses neigh fiercely.]
Himejima Akeno did not immediately join the main battle. Instead, she moved like a top-tier assassin, hovering on the edge of the battlefield, using her alluring words and actions to continuously inflict [mental interference] and [morale blows].
Nan Lixiang, the dark-skinned bandit, thoroughly embodied pragmatism.
She grabbed Shizuka Marikawa, cutting off Zhou Ye's escape route and blocking all possible escape routes.
Their goal was clear: to achieve victory in one fell swoop!
[A thousand troops stand in formation like mountains, ten thousand arrows are unleashed like a rainstorm.]
The real storm arrived the moment Saeko Busujima drew her sword.
She didn't draw her actual knife, but she herself was like a sharp blade unsheathed.
Her attacks were precise, deadly, and targeted the core!
At that moment, the fragile alliance crumbled instantly, and the situation spiraled completely out of control.
What began as a campaign against Zhou Ye quickly escalated into a chaotic battleground involving six parties.
Nami and Rias are fighting, Rias and Akeno are battling, Akeno also has to be wary of Saeko's surprise attack, while Minami Rika is stirring things up from the sidelines, trying to take advantage of the chaos.
[Though blood stains the battlefield, our hearts remain undaunted; our heroic spirit and unyielding will cannot be broken.]
Zhou Ye was at the eye of the storm, enduring attacks from all directions.
He felt as if he were navigating a small boat in a raging storm.
No.
He is not a boat.
He is a dragon!
It's the giant dragon that Drake described as being able to "shoot his mother-in-law away with three shots"!
The enemy cavalry charged but could not escape; our army bravely slew the demon king.
When the Herrscher of Reason's constructive abilities are combined with Talking Tom's incredible physical flexibility, a miracle occurs.
He is no longer a BOSS who is passively taking hits.
He became a hunter who took the initiative!
He accurately detected Nami's greed and used the "treasure" to thwart her offensive.
He exploited Rias's weakness beneath her arrogance, throwing her into disarray with his "acknowledgment."
He saw through Himejima Akeno's disguise and broke her defenses in the most direct way.
He suppressed Saeko Busujima's fighting spirit, allowing her to experience what true "power" really meant.
He made Nanri Kaori understand what it means that "before absolute power, all skills are futile."
As for Shizuka Marikawa... she was just a mascot caught up in the battle of the gods from beginning to end.
The fierce battle raged late into the night, but the first rays of dawn brought a triumphant return.
The war lasted from midnight until dawn.
As the first rays of sunlight streamed into the room, the last "enemy" exhausted all its strength and collapsed on the battlefield.
In the room, only Zhou Ye remained, standing tall and unyielding.
He won.
They won this 1v6 war in a brutal manner.
"Well……"
Nami stirred in his arms, pulling him back from his reverie.
No, I need to get up right away.
If we don't get up soon, once those "monsters'" CDs are back to normal, the second war will begin.
He doesn't want to die young. He must strengthen his physical fitness, both externally and internally.
Zhou Ye held his breath and began his morning routine, which was comparable to that of a bomb disposal expert.
He carefully pried Nami's hands off his arm, one finger at a time.
Then, like a boneless cat, he slowly withdrew his body from Rias's embrace at an extremely contorted angle.
Then, he tiptoed over the sleeping Akeno Himejima and Saeko Busujima, who were in unrestrained sleeping positions.
Finally, he successfully navigated around the two stacked "roadblocks" at the foot of the bed and landed steadily on the floor.
[Phew... I'm free!]
Zhou Ye let out a long sigh of relief, feeling as if he had just completed the Normandy landings.
He straightened up, stretched his aching body, walked to the window, and gently pulled back a corner of the curtain.
The blinding sunlight suddenly flooded in, causing him to squint.
The sky was a clear, deep blue, without a single cloud.
Look at the sun... Today, another day of skipping class.
[I wonder how Shiwa, Miko, and Gil would laugh at me. As for Linali and Kara, it's hard to say about the fallen angels. Although they acknowledged me as their master under the coercion of power, they haven't completely submitted in their hearts and still hope to be saved by the fallen angel governor Azazel.]
He shook his head helplessly. Since he had actively sought out the mystical side, he had discovered that everyone there had become the kind of people he loathed.
Just then, a lazy, slightly hoarse voice came from behind, as if the person had just woken up.
"Oh dear... Ye, aren't you going to sleep a little longer?"
It's Himejima Akeno.
Zhou Ye's body was stiff.
Chapter 172 Come on, let's fight to our hearts' content!
"No, Zhu Nai, it's time to get up and prepare lunch."
Zhou Ye answered without turning his head, his voice extremely low, as if afraid of waking any "sleeping volcano" in the room.
He tried to use the most indifferent tone to cover up his true intention to make a quick getaway.
[Lunch? What time is it? Why would you need lunch? That's such a lame excuse!]
[Damn it, the CPU clocked for too long last night, it's so hard to even come up with a decent excuse!]
"Ha ha……"
Behind her came Himejima Akeno's signature chuckle, tinged with a hint of cunning.
The laughter wasn't loud, but it shot through Zhou Ye's spine like an electric current, making him stiffen.
"Preparing lunch?"
Zhu Nai's voice was hoarse from just waking up, but it was full of playfulness.
"But Ye, I remember you said that we were your most delicious lunch."
She lifted the thin blanket, and her disheveled black lace kimono could barely conceal her alluring figure.
She walked barefoot and silently up behind Zhou Ye, her warm breath gently brushing against the back of his neck.
"What, you think you can just run away after you've had your fill?"
"What a...bad man."
Zhou Ye felt a chill run down his spine.
Here it comes! The classic scene of the female demon taking lives!
[I'm not! I didn't! Don't talk nonsense!]
He suddenly turned around, raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, and forced a very sincere smile onto his face.
"How could that be! I was just worried you were hungry and wanted to prepare some food for you to replenish your strength."
"Really?" Zhu Nai tilted her head, her purple eyes filled with the words "I don't believe it."
"Really!" Zhou Ye nodded emphatically, almost as if he were swearing an oath to the heavens.
