Chapter 39 An Insolent Demand
Chapter 39 An Insolent Demand
"Is it not allowed?"
Shi Yichen looked at Celia, wondering why she was silent now, even though he had always said he would agree to any request.
"Sure, but are you really not going to choose a different reward? You can sleep with me anytime, but this is a one-time offer!"
Celia looked at Shi Yichen with a mischievous grin. She really liked her grand-disciple. If they wanted to sleep together, so be it. What was wrong with that?
"I'm keeping this one, no need to change it."
Shi Yichen shook his head and said with a firm gaze.
"Alright then! Come with me!"
Seeing that Celia had returned to her room, Shi Yichen followed her in. She had been to Celia's room before, but not to sleep.
When Shi Yichen walked in, Celia had already changed into a loose set of clothes and was sitting on the bed looking at him.
Shi Yichen also changed into a looser set of clothes and sat on the bed.
"Go to sleep,"
Celia waved her hand and the lights in the room went out.
"It smells so good!"
Shi Yichen held Celia's body in his arms, inhaling the fragrance emanating from her.
"If you're going to sleep, just sleep. Why are you so close to me?"
Celia said to Shi Yichen speechlessly, because Shi Yichen's lips had touched her face.
"..."
Shi Yichen acted as if he hadn't heard and continued to stand very close.
The only sounds in the quiet room were Celia and Shi Yichen's breathing.
(If you won't let me write Aura, then I'll write Celia.)
But nothing happened! Don't get the wrong idea!
Stop joking! Both of them are girls, okay? They didn't even have any tools to commit the crime! This is utterly baseless.
…………
The sun gradually rose, and sunlight shone through the window onto Shi Yichen's face.
"Ok?"
Shi Yichen slowly opened his eyes. He didn't seem to have slept for very long. How come the sun was already up? He had originally planned to doze off for a while, but he couldn't fall back asleep no matter what he did, so he had no choice but to get up.
But when they got up, they realized they weren't in their own room. After thinking for a moment, oh! They were in Celia's room.
I think I slept with Celia last night. I looked down and Celia was gone, but there was still a little warmth left in the blanket.
Celia had actually gotten up earlier, but instead of disturbing Shi Yichen's sleep, she went out to take care of some business.
Shi Yichen tidied up Celia's room and then went to the kitchen to make breakfast. Although Celia had not returned yet, Shi Yichen still prepared an extra breakfast for her.
Just as Shi Yichen finished making breakfast, he heard a sound coming from outside. It seemed that Celia had returned.
"Looks like I've come back just in time."
Celia walked in from outside at this moment, looked at the breakfast that had been prepared on the table, and said that Celia seemed to be holding something in her hand.
Celia put the things she was carrying on the dining table and began to eat the breakfast that Shi Yichen had prepared for her.
What did you go out to do?
Shi Yichen looked at Celia, who had just returned, and asked.
"Go and fetch some things, just to prepare for the future."
Celia said to Shi Yichen while eating breakfast, and Shi Yichen would find out later what she was going to do.
"Land ownership?"
Shi Yichen looked at the things Celia brought back, which had the land ownership written on them.
What do you want to do?
Shi Yichen didn't understand why Celia needed land, especially since the area was quite large, enough to build a city.
"It's just an idea; I don't even know when it will be completed!"
Celia said while eating breakfast that she had kept this idea in mind, but she was too lazy to do it and had kept putting it off until now.
"Do you need my help?"
Shi Yichen reached out and wiped the rice grains from the corner of Celia's mouth.
"I don't need it for now. I'll contact you when I do."
Celia let Shi Yichen wipe her down.
"Ah."
Shi Yichen nodded. No matter what Celia did, she would help her.
"Well! Things will be quiet for a while now."
Celia looked at the calm sky outside; without the war, she felt no joy whatsoever.
Because the Demon King was defeated by Shi Yichen, the Demon King's army regrouped, and both sides temporarily ceased hostilities. This gave humanity a chance to catch its breath, strengthen its defenses, and redeploy its troops, as war could break out at any moment.
"There's nothing we can do about it!"
Shi Yichen followed Celia's gaze and looked out the window.
"Wow! It would be so exciting if they fought!"
Suddenly losing interest, Celia became listless and lost all motivation.
"If you're still bored, then I'll stay here with you a little longer."
Shi Yichen turned her head and smiled at Celia. She had come to Celia's place specifically to keep her company.
"It's good that you have the intention, but you can't stay here forever."
Celia didn't mind, but it would be better if someone accompanied her. However, Shi Yichen still had to go back to be with Frilian.
“If you don’t mind, I’ll bring Frillie along too.”
Shi Yichen looked at Celia. Of course, she knew that Celia didn't like Frilian. It wasn't that she really disliked her; it was just that their ideologies differed.
"Forget it! I don't like Frilian. If you bring her here, she'll ruin all the spellbooks I have."
Celia shook her head, rejecting Shi Yichen's idea. Bringing Frilian over would be like letting a weasel run a chicken farm.
"Alright, I'm going to rest. Someone was constantly moving around last night, and I didn't get a good night's sleep."
Celia said this as she walked towards her room.
Do you need me to sleep with you?
Shi Yichen looked at Celia with a smile.
"Forget it! I can't sleep with you around, but it's fine if you come."
After saying that, Celia left without looking back. Actually, Celia slept quite well last night because there was someone next to her who was like a warm baby, which made it easy for her to fall asleep.
"Honestly, I wonder who was hugging me so tightly last night."
Celia had already left, leaving only Shi Yichen behind to tidy up the table.
"I'm going anyway."
As he spoke, Shi Yichen tiptoed toward Celia's room.
She quietly pushed open the door to Celia's room and went inside.
Celia was already lying in bed asleep, whether she was actually asleep or not was unknown, but she still left half of the bed empty.
Shi Yichen quietly sat on the bed, then gently hugged Celia's waist and closed her eyes. Although Shi Yichen had just gotten up, it didn't stop her from hugging Celia and meditating with her eyes closed.
Originally, Shi Yichen didn't want to sleep, but after holding Celia, he suddenly became sleepy and fell asleep without realizing it.
