"OK."
Zhu Nai's smile grew even brighter. She stretched out her slender finger and gently touched Zhou Ye's lips, a gesture full of provocation.
"Since it's prepared for us, it shouldn't be a problem if I'm one of the extra people helping out, right?"
"I'll go with you."
Zhou Ye: “…”
Looking into Zhu Nai's unyielding gaze, he inwardly groaned.
[It's over, the escape plan has failed!]
This woman is like a persistent leech, I can't get rid of her!
"What? You don't want to?" Zhu Nai's fingers slid slowly down his chin to his Adam's apple, gently circling it.
"Of course I'd love to!" Zhou Ye immediately changed his tune, saying righteously, "It would be my honor to prepare lunch with Zhu Nai!"
"Haha, that's more like it."
Zhu Nai withdrew her hand with satisfaction, then winked at Zhou Ye and made a "shh" gesture.
The two exchanged a glance and instantly reached some unspoken understanding.
Like two guilty thieves, they tiptoed, carefully inching towards the door step by step.
Every step was thrilling and suspenseful.
I was afraid of making the slightest noise and waking up the sleeping "beasts" on the bed.
Finally, the two managed to slip out of the room and gently closed the door behind them.
In the corridor, Drag leaned against the wall, his blue electronic eyes flashing, clearly having taken in everything that had just happened.
She gave Zhou Ye a thumbs-up and mouthed silently: 【Awesome!】
Zhou Ye gave her a wry smile.
“Alright, the kitchen is this way.” Zhou Ye pointed to the other end of the corridor, trying to lead Zhu Nai in the right direction.
However, Zhu Nai grabbed his hand.
"The kitchen?" She shook her head with a smile. "Who said we were going to the kitchen?"
Zhou Ye was taken aback: "If we don't go to the kitchen, how are we going to make lunch?"
"Lunch is right here, isn't it?"
Himejima Akeno's gaze suddenly became extremely aggressive.
She grabbed Zhou Ye, who was still in a daze, turned around abruptly, and pushed open the door to the room next door.
That's Nami's room.
The room was filled with the sweet fragrance of a young girl and... the smell of money.
In the corner were several open treasure chests, their contents glittering with gold and sparkling with jewels.
“Zhu Nai, you…”
Before Zhou Ye could finish speaking, Zhu Nai turned around and pushed him against the door.
With a loud bang, she slammed the door shut with her heel.
The light in the room dimmed instantly.
"Ye, do you really think I believed your nonsense?"
Himejima Akeno pinned him tightly against the door, her pretty face close to his, her purple eyes shining brightly in the dim light.
"The battle last night has not yet been decided."
Her voice was incredibly seductive.
"That idiot Rias only knows how to charge forward with brute force."
"Nami is just a child; she loses her composure after just a few words."
"Saeko is powerful, but she's too upright and doesn't know how to use... extra methods."
She licked her lips, and her smile became alluring.
"Only I know how to deal with a world boss like you."
"A one-on-one duel is the only way to determine the strongest."
Looking at the fiercely competitive woman before him and feeling the astonishing heat emanating from her body, Zhou Ye finally understood.
Good heavens! I've just escaped one danger only to fall into another!
This woman isn't actually going to cook with me; she wants to eat me!
[She's juicing me! She's trying to drain me dry!]
"Zhu Nai, let me explain..."
"No explanation needed."
Himejima Akeno extended her index finger and gently pressed it against his lips, interrupting him.
She tiptoed and whispered in his ear, her breath sweet as orchids.
"Now, this is our exclusive battlefield."
"Let me see just how much stamina you, dragon, really have left."
He knew very well that if he retreated one step, he would retreat every step of the way.
If I can't control this little vixen tonight, how will I ever be able to run my own Crystal Palace?
What's more, this world isn't just about the beauties in front of me; there are even more formidable and beautiful golden fox spirits waiting for me outside!
Thinking of this, Zhou Ye's original desire to escape was instantly replaced by a surge of heroic spirit.
He grabbed Zhu Nai's wrist with his backhand and flipped her over, instantly switching their positions.
Now, Himejima Akeno is firmly pressed against the door panel by him.
"Zhu Nai, since you say so, then let's fight."
Zhou Ye lowered his head, his nose almost touching hers, and spoke in a commanding tone.
"Don't come crying and shouting 'No!' when the time comes."
Himejima Akeno was taken aback by his sudden counterattack, and then her purple eyes shone with an even more intense light.
"is it?"
She stuck out her tongue and gently licked her lips, her voice husky and alluring.
"Then I'll have to learn from you properly."
After Chapter 173, let's fight again.
Three days later, a subtle tranquility permeated the living room of the villa.
This tranquility is less a sign of peace and more a temporary calm following a protracted war, with both sides entering a mandatory truce.
On the sofa, the first few who tasted the "broth" were in various poses.
Nami, like a lazy cat, curled up in a corner of the sofa, playing with a gold coin she had somehow produced, while her eyes kept glancing at Zhou Ye, full of a sense of asserting her dominance.
Rias sat upright, holding a cup of black tea, trying her best to maintain the dignity and elegance of the next head of the Gremory family. However, her slightly reddened ears and occasional unfocused eyes betrayed her "hard work" over the past three days and three nights.
Himejima Akeno leaned against Zhou Ye's other side, almost hanging her entire weight on him, with a satisfied and charming smile on her face.
Saeko Busujima was meticulously polishing her sword, but everyone in the living room could sense that the sharp killing intent emanating from her seemed to have been smoothed out, replaced by a more restrained and gentle warmth.
Nanri Kaori and Shizuka Marikawa huddled together, watching funny videos on their phones and laughing hysterically, as if the earth-shattering "battle" had nothing to do with them.
On the other side of the living room, the atmosphere was completely different.
Kasumigaoka Utaha sat on a single sofa, a laptop on her lap, but her fingers weren't typing. Her eyes flickered with inquiry and… a hint of displeasure.
[Hmph, haha, hey? Three days and three nights? This is excellent material! Should the title be "About My Boss Doing Extreme Human Exercises in His Room"? No, that's too blatant.]
Yotsuya Miko hugged a pillow, huddled in a corner, trying to minimize her presence. Her face was as red as a ripe apple, her mind filled with the intermittent sounds that had drifted through the crack in the door these past few days, making her blush. She dared not look at Zhou Ye, nor at those "seniors," and could only bury her head even deeper.
Gil Valentine stood by the window, arms crossed, brow furrowed. He was deeply dissatisfied with this indulgence before the impending war.
The most uneasy was Aisha Algert, sitting next to Miko. The blonde nun clasped her hands on her knees, head bowed, her eyes filled with confusion and a hint of barely perceptible envy. She could sense that the relationship between Minister Rias and Mr. Zhou Ye had undergone a qualitative change in the past three days. That intimate atmosphere was something she had never experienced before.
Zhou Ye held a glass of water, looking at the two clearly divided camps, and felt his head was hurting even more than when he fought Zhu Nai last night.
[Perfect, one big family, two chat groups.]
[Now things are really messed up; a class divide has formed between those who ate the meat and those who didn't even get a sip of soup.]
[What sins have I committed? The Crystal Palace hasn't even opened yet, and the internal conflicts are already enough to make an 80-episode palace drama.]
"Ahem." Zhou Ye cleared his throat, trying to break the awkward atmosphere. "We've been playing for three days, it's about time to get back to work and focus."
Nami was immediately displeased when he said that.
She stuffed the gold coins into her pocket, sat up straight abruptly, and glared at Zhou Ye.
"What do you mean 'play'? Boss, are you questioning the results of our battle?"
She puffed out her chest, her face beaming with pride.
"We call this quelling an internal rebellion! It's to maintain harmony and stability within the family! Rias, don't you agree?"
Rias, who was suddenly called out, almost choked on her tea.
She put down her teacup and gave Nami a reproachful glare.
"What nonsense!"
Then, she looked at Zhou Ye, her face slightly flushed, but her tone was extremely serious.
“But Nami is right, Ye, you were the one who evaded the issue first. We were just exercising... our legitimate rights.”
"Oh my, rightful right, I like that saying." Himejima Akeno covered her mouth and chuckled, giving Zhou Ye a flirtatious wink. "Ye, next time you can't hide away and play with those big, hard models by yourself, okay? We're much more fun than them."
Upon hearing this, Yotsuya Miko's face flushed bright red, almost to the point of smoking.
