Era of Order, Year 1138.
At night, Aina and Xia Lun stepped into a spatial rift, and in the next moment, they returned to the Olifendo manor.
Aina casually waved her hand behind her, and the spatial rift instantly closed up like a smoothed-out wrinkle, as if it had never existed.
"Yo, you're back, Xia Lun. Did you catch those guys?" Liyana, who was leaning lazily on the sofa, stood up to greet them when she saw the two step out from space, casually marking the spot where the spatial rift disappeared.
Sitting on the sofa, Luo Lun paused for a moment, then tilted her head slightly and pricked up her ears, clearly quite concerned about this matter as well.
Mo Lini, who was sitting opposite Luo Lun, was fully concentrated on the chessboard in front of her, pondering her next move.
Among everyone in the room, Mo Lini was the worst player... Even Xia Lun, a beginner, was better than her. Liyana refused to play with her, and only Luo Lun was kind enough to keep her company.
"No, we let them get away," Xia Lun waved his hand. Then, he walked to the liquor cabinet and poured a glass of amber-colored strong liquor for both himself and Aina.
Aina tapped her finger, and frost condensed on the glass.
"Eh? Really? To think there are times when even you and Aina fail." Liyana was a bit surprised, her pointed ears twitching.
"We aren't omnipotent, you know," Xia Lun glanced at Liyana and took a small sip of his drink.
"Is that so? I really can't imagine what you two couldn't do." Liyana spread her hands. "Other than you two, I genuinely don't know anyone who can dart around in spatial turbulence like that."
"And me, and me!" Yisi's figure emerged from the space below, appearing right beside Liyana.
"Ah, little one, you don't count either." Liyana smiled, reaching out to rub Yisi's cheeks, and the two began to playfully wrestle.
The two of them seemed to get along quite well, perhaps because neither of them was particularly smart.
Luo Lun was no longer in the mood to keep playing with Mo Lini. Like a clean and efficient assassin, she placed a piece on the board and then walked over to Xia Lun.
Mo Lini let out a frustrated sigh. Her defeat was clearly sealed, but right now, no one's mind was on the chessboard.
"Mr. Xia Lun..." Luo Lun walked over to Xia Lun with slightly heavy steps, her head bowed slightly, her voice carrying obvious guilt.
"If you're going to apologize, save it." Xia Lun raised his hand, interrupting Luo Lun. His gaze was steady and reassuring. "Don't worry, I will handle this matter."
Luo Lun bit her lip. For things to turn out this way, it was undoubtedly partly her fault.
It was her mistake that allowed those dangerous individuals to become hidden threats lurking in the dark.
"Alright, Aina and I are both a bit tired and are going to rest." Sensing that Aina had already begun hinting at him by scratching the palm of his hand, Xia Lun smiled at Luo Lun and took the initiative to pull Aina along, preparing to leave.
"Don't be in such a rush, Xia Lun. I still have something to do." Aina didn't let Xia Lun pull her away.
Xia Lun: ...
Just who was in more of a rush? She was clearly the one who had sent such a teasing signal through his palm first.
Aina gracefully gave her skirt a slight swish, and a blood bat slipped out from the shadows of her dark red pleats. Fluttering its thin wings, it landed on Luo Lun's shoulder.
"This is..." Luo Lun's eyes were full of surprise.
The blood bat tilted its head, staring with its mung-bean-sized eyes, locking gazes with Luo Lun. It looked quite adorable.
Luo Lun naturally wasn't unfamiliar with this little creature.
"It's a gift for you. You can split a sliver of your mind and merge your blood into its body to complete the initial refinement. After that, it will be mentally connected to you," Aina said to Luo Lun.
"Aina, this..." Luo Lun was overwhelmed by the favor. She knew very well that the power contained within this tiny blood bat was far from ordinary.
"It's fine, it's no big deal. Besides, this child seems to like you quite a bit. With it by your side, you'll have at least one more layer of protection, and I won't have to worry about you having any more accidents."
"Thank you so much, Aina..." Luo Lun's face instantly lit up with excitement, like a child who had just received their favorite toy.
Mo Lini cast a somewhat envious glance.
However, she didn't plan on asking Aina for one... She already had Little Lan.
"Bo bo bo—" Little Lan bounced on Mo Lini's lap, as if saying it was in no way inferior to that blood bat.
Only then did Aina take Xia Lun's hand and leave, walking up the spiral staircase on the side of the hall to the second floor.
Returning to their room, they closed the door and then laid down layers upon layers of magic arrays.
Aina let go of Xia Lun's hand, took two light steps forward, and then gracefully turned around. She slightly lifted the sides of her dark red skirt with both hands, giving Xia Lun a delicate curtsy like a noble lady. Following that, all the clothes on her body transformed into fluttering blood bats and dissipated into the shadows.
It was the first time seeing such an opening act... The Demon Lord really knew how to play.
"Do these little guys have sentience?" Xia Lun looked at the vanishing blood bats, somewhat amazed. Aina's methods were practically no different from creating life.
"No, I was just fooling Luo Lun earlier; otherwise, she might not have been willing to accept it." Aina generously stretched her waist, displaying her body in front of Xia Lun, as confident as a model walking the runway.
"Those are just simple magical constructs, but since they are infused with my blood, they possess certain biological instincts."
Aina leaned closer. With a sweep of her hand, flames instantly ignited on Xia Lun's body, turning his clothes into flying ash in a flash.
"Just like... this."
Aina licked the corners of her lips.
Aina's bizarre analogy made Xia Lun's mouth twitch.
"Which?" Xia Lun asked, despite knowing the answer.
"Just this." Aina's hands did not stop.
"What is 'this'? Be a little clearer." Xia Lun continued to play dumb, enjoying the ambiguous atmosphere she had taken the initiative to create.
Aina gave a cold harrumph. She wasn't going to give Xia Lun what he wanted by saying those dirty, shameful words.
Spreading the bat wings on her back, Aina dove into Xia Lun's embrace. Like a hunting wyvern, she fiercely pinned him down onto the bed.
Boom—
The violent impact produced a loud crash.
It was only because it was Xia Lun; an ordinary person wouldn't have been able to endure such a hit.
"Careful, are you planning to dismantle the bed?" Xia Lun couldn't help but say.
"Shut up!" Aina cupped Xia Lun's cheeks and dominantly kissed his mouth, relentlessly demanding, as if she would never know fatigue.
A faint scent of alcohol still lingered in her mouth, giving a slightly tipsy feeling.
Perhaps it was the effect of the alcohol, but Aina's body was hotter than usual, and the blush on her cheeks made her look even more alluring.
At some unknown point, with a single roll, the roles of attacker and defender were reversed.
