The lazy morning sun streamed in through the window, filling the air with the fresh scent of spring grass.
As the thin morning mist was nearly swept away by the gentle breeze, a new ray of dawn stepped onto the vibrant path of rosy clouds laid out by the morning light, slowly rising to the dimly lit sky.
Out of habit, Luo Chen naturally woke up early in the morning.
After all, a year of cultivation had become a routine, but today he felt a bit sluggish.
After all, a night of hard work had consumed quite a bit of his energy.
Not to mention that when he opened his eyes, the first thing that greeted him was a fair expanse, making him feel a bit lazy and reluctant to part with this exaggerated gathering of warmth that already belonged to him.
As he lay on it, he immediately felt as if his strength had been sealed and drained away.
No wonder there’s a saying, “From now on, the king does not attend morning court,” because that’s exactly how he felt—awake yet too lazy to move.
“Hmm~ Hoo~”
It seemed that due to his movements, or perhaps some other state, the sleeping Luculiazia frowned slightly.
Then, her small hand rested on his shoulder, seemingly trying to push him away out of habit, but after a few attempts with no success, she changed to embrace him, perhaps treating him like a pillow.
And Luo Chen, looking at the flaxen-haired Luculiazia in a certain state, felt a surge of accomplishment in his heart.
Next, feeling dissatisfied with the current situation, he glanced at the sky outside and began to sway slightly.
“Hmm?”
At this moment, Luculiazia opened her beautiful eyes, and upon seeing Luo Chen, she smiled charmingly, then tacitly accepted his actions, looking at him with a smile.
Instantly encouraged, Luo Chen had no intention of being polite with her.
“Dame~”
Unfortunately, whether she wanted it or not, everything was naturally centered around Luo Chen.
Only after a moment, when the witch chose to concede, did Luo Chen finally let her go with satisfaction.
“It’s still early, I’ll head back first. You can continue to rest.”
“Hmm~ dear~”
“Kiss——”
The witch’s physique was naturally no match for a martial artist, especially one as accomplished as Luo Chen.
If it weren’t for his reluctance, this mature witch would probably end up resting the entire day.
However, seeing that the sun had already risen, Luo Chen gave Luculiazia a reluctant kiss before getting up to leave.
As for Luculiazia, she returned to her dreams with a blissful smile.
“Click~”
Leaving the witch’s room, the hallway outside remained quiet, seemingly indicating that the other pair of master and servant had not yet woken up.
After all, they had drunk themselves into a stupor last night, and Erika had only just managed to rest after all the commotion, so they would probably be listless today.
On the other hand, Luo Chen’s mindset was already different from when he had just arrived yesterday.
Yesterday, he was a “guest,” but now this place could be considered his home… his lover’s home!
After a bit of effort in communication, the mature witch agreed to be his lover in a sense akin to a “live-in wife.”
Luculiazia needed nothing else; she just wanted to be with him in this capacity, unless one day he decided to cast her aside, in which case she would maintain and uphold their relationship.
To this, Luo Chen did not insist further, allowing the witch to be satisfied until dawn.
“Ha~”
Lost in thought as he walked down the hallway, Luo Chen yawned slightly and couldn’t help but stretch his body.
He felt as if he had been completely reborn.
Aside from feeling tired due to lack of sleep, his body was full of vitality from head to toe.
This was one of the benefits brought about by mastering the Supreme Unique Power of the Eight Desolations and Six Harmonies.
It solidified his foundation and preserved his youth.
Even when he reached over a hundred years old, as long as his magical power did not dissipate, he could still maintain his youthful state at that time.
Unless life reached its end, then he would age and fade away in the blink of an eye.
This was still for ordinary people; if he became a Godslayer, living for a few hundred years would be a piece of cake—as long as he didn’t die prematurely.
After taking a cold shower, Luo Chen lazily returned to his… or rather, the guest room that Luculiazia had originally prepared for Erika and her maid.
In the cozy guest room, the blonde girl was still quietly lost in her dreams, unaware of her companion's departure or return.
“Hoo~ Hoo~ Hoo~”
The usually proud “lion” appeared a bit more delicate at this moment.
Her long golden hair was spread out, and her beautiful, fair face still bore a hint of blush.
It was unclear what lovely dream the girl was having, but when Luo Chen quietly approached her side, he saw the young lady break into an adorable silly smile.
If it weren’t for the worry of waking her up, Luo Chen would have really wanted to take out his phone and capture Erika’s sleeping face at that moment.
Then, he could keep it as his collection and the girl’s “black history.”
However, after thinking it over and noticing the lingering fatigue on the girl’s brow, Luo Chen couldn’t bear to do anything but lie down beside her.
“Hmm……”
As for Erika, she either sensed his presence or simply turned over.
In any case, when Luo Chen wanted to catch a few more winks, the girl turned into a sloth, clinging to him as if he were a pillow.
To this, Luo Chen naturally complied and slowly returned to the state they had last night.
“Hmm?”
“Hoo~”
“Dame… meh……”
“Sleep now.”
“Hmm……”
Due to his actions, Erika opened her sleepy eyes, but after being gently patted by Luo Chen, she nestled against him and fell back into a deep sleep.
