Gathering troops took time, but at the very least, Ye Chuan could relax during this period. He hadn't put much effort into dealing with the Royal City anyway.
After clarifying the follow-up matters with Kaiaolen, Ye Chuan didn't want to stay any longer. He teleported right on the spot, his figure vanishing from the study along with a faint spatial ripple.
When he reappeared, he landed on the familiar flagstone path of Yisu Town.
"I'll get a package deal before logging off," Ye Chuan stretched lazily.
The air was filled with a faint floral fragrance and a sweet scent, completely different from the heavy atmosphere of the Miral Lord's Manor.
He familiarly turned into a quiet alley, at the end of which was the Succubus Parlor.
The moment he pushed the door open, a warm, aromatic scent wrapped in a soft breeze hit his face—
It was the soothing aroma of violet incense mixed with the warmth of sweet orange. Just breathing it in eased most of Ye Chuan's tense nerves.
"Ah, dear guest, you're here~" a charming female voice called out from inside.
Upon seeing Ye Chuan, the little succubus trotted right over. "Guest~ Guest~ What package would you like today?"
"Sophia, I want a really good massage today. Do you have any highly-skilled therapists?" Ye Chuan brushed against Sophia's modest chest; though she wasn't well-endowed, the bounce was still decent.
"We do, dear guest! Our Number One Ace!" Sophia said. "Just let us know if you have any requests! We will definitely satisfy you~"
"However... Number One is a bit expensive," the little succubus whispered.
Ye Chuan didn't even bat an eyelid. "Do I look like I'm short on money?"
With that, a gold coin appeared between his fingers, and he poked it directly against her chest.
The gold coin slipped down, and the little succubus caught it with a swift smack.
"It's yours." Ye Chuan's words made the little succubus's eyes light up instantly!
"I'll go get her right now!"
Saying so, the little succubus immediately ran off to call Number One.
Soon, a succubus wearing a light pink sheer dress walked over gracefully.
She had a graceful figure, and the hem of her dress revealed fair, slender calves. The sash around her waist was loosely tied, outlining a waist so slim it could be grasped with one hand, while the curves of her chest were breathtakingly full.
"This is our Number One Ace, Nini. Usually, there are many guests who want to request her, but she happens to be free today," the little succubus introduced.
"Guest, right this way, please." Nini covered her mouth with a soft giggle, then guided Ye Chuan to a private room.
"I hope your technique won't disappoint me, Miss Nini."
"Hehe, I won't let you down, dear guest." Nini stepped forward and naturally linked her arm with Ye Chuan's.
"This is the private room you usually frequent. The incense has been changed to a new violet floral dew, which will help you relax and rest well."
She led Ye Chuan into the inner room. It wasn't large but was exceptionally elegantly furnished.
Ye Chuan familiarly sat on the bed and changed his clothes.
"Please lie down first, I'll go fetch the essential oils."
Nini backed out with a smile and returned shortly after carrying a small white jade tray. On the tray sat a bottle of transparent essential oil, its bottle engraved with exquisite patterns.
Ye Chuan lay on the massage bed, his limbs stretched out.
Nini walked to the edge of the bed. She first poured the essential oil into her palm, pressed her hands together, and rubbed them gently. Once her palms were warm and the oil had spread, she slowly placed her hands on Ye Chuan's shoulders and neck.
Her palms were soft and warm, and her fingertips carried a faint fragrant scent. The moment they touched his skin, Ye Chuan let out a soft groan of comfort.
An ace therapist indeed; she really had some skills.
"How is the pressure?" Nini kept her voice very low. Her words, carried by a subtle breath, brushed past Ye Chuan's ear—it tickled, but wasn't annoying.
Her nimble fingers kneaded Ye Chuan's shoulders and neck. The pressure went from light to heavy, accurately pressing on the stiff muscle knots. It wasn't painful enough to make him frown, yet it perfectly melted away the tightness in his muscles.
"Mhm, just right," Ye Chuan closed his eyes.
Nini's massage technique was extremely proficient. Her fingertips slid down along the lines of his shoulders and neck, grazing every inch of skin on his back.
She leaned forward slightly, her movements dignified. The occasional inadvertent touches were just right, feeling not at all frivolous, but rather exuding a natural intimacy.
If it were any other succubus, their heavy chests would have already been pressing against the back of his head by now.
However, Nini didn't do that; instead, she relied purely on her massage skills.
This actually surprised Ye Chuan a little.
As time passed, Ye Chuan felt the fatigue in his body dissipating bit by bit. His nerves were completely relaxed now, and his eyelids grew heavier and heavier.
Sensing that his breathing had become even and prolonged, Nini's movements grew even gentler. Her fingertips lightly drew circles on his waist and abdomen, reducing the pressure further, afraid of disturbing his sleep.
She leaned down and whispered in an extremely low voice, "Sleep, dear guest. It's very safe here."
As soon as she finished speaking, Ye Chuan fell completely into a deep slumber.
He slept exceptionally peacefully. There was no smoke and slaughter of the Eser Continent, nor the scheming and plotting between lords. Only the warm incense and soft touch enveloped him, as if he had returned to a safe haven of rest.
Ye Chuan slept deeply, oblivious to the passage of time.
By the time he opened his eyes again, the sky outside the window was already showing a faint light of dawn, and the incense in the room was still slowly burning.
Nini was no longer in the room. There was only a cup of warm floral tea left on the bedside table, with a small sticky note attached to the rim:
"Dear guest, you can drink this floral tea to refresh yourself after you wake up. Breakfast has been prepared and left in the outer room for you."
Ye Chuan sat up and stretched lazily. The muscles all over his body loosened up without the slightest soreness. He only felt refreshed and invigorated.
It felt pretty damn good.
Although it wasn't the kind of pleasure that came from resting his head on a pair of soft breasts, it still felt exceptionally wonderful.
This massage really hit the spot!
"She truly deserves to be Number One, her skills speak for themselves. However, I think I'd still prefer having the twin succubi with the massive chests come over." But Ye Chuan was just trying it out for the experience anyway.
After simply changing his clothes, he walked out of the private room and found Nini talking about something with the little succubus Sophia.
However, upon seeing Ye Chuan, Sophia immediately raised her little hand. "You're awake, dear guest."
"Good morning, guest," Nini also said. "Was the massage comfortable?"
"Not bad, I'm very satisfied." However, Ye Chuan noticed the fatigue on Nini's face, but he didn't ask too much about it. After all, it wasn't his business to care.
"Are you leaving now, dear guest?"
"Yeah, I'll come back next time."
"Okay, okay, you are welcome to visit us again~ You must come back~" The little succubus appeared exceptionally enthusiastic, seemingly because Ye Chuan had given her a gold coin as a tip last night.
Sure enough, having money made all the difference.
"Sophia, why are you so happy? Are you very familiar with that guest?" Nini asked the little succubus after seeing Ye Chuan leave.
"I've seen him several times. He's a regular, Nini. Moreover, he's super generous and handsome too," Sophia giggled.
"I really wish we had more guests like him. That way... you'd be able to save up enough money for your medical treatment very soon! Hiring a Tier 5 Healer is still very expensive, right?"
"Hehe." Nini just gave a faint smile.

He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples.

When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
