Chapter 2: New Century (Epilogue)
“So, you want me to release Claudia?”
Xi Wei looked at (Player Name) (M) with a strange expression, thinking the player might have lost their mind.
Why would he suddenly ask him to commute Claudia’s sentence?
He was originally ready to receive the barracks reward from the system, but now he had to put it aside for the moment.
“It’s not really about releasing her, it’s just… I hope you won’t kill her.”
(Player Name) (M) looked at the King of Winter, appearing hesitant, his gaze peculiar, as if looking at a pervert.
The reason was that the King of Winter was holding a delicately carved little loli in his arms.
What’s more, this little loli was restless, constantly planting a kiss on the King of Winter’s neck, leaving behind a pink and tender lip print.
If this were the King of Winter’s daughter, it would be fine.
The key was that (Player Name) (M) saw a nameplate with a string of question marks, clearly labeled “[Marital Wife]” and “[Pet]”…
Is this how nobles in games play?
It’s truly “criminal.” If this were on Blue Star, Professor Luo would sentence it to death.
“I didn’t plan to kill her in the first place.”
Xi Wei ignored (Player Name) (M)’s strange gaze. He only felt that the pillow in his hand was very comfortable, and it was moving on its own.
“Capturing her was to make her serve Winter City, and I also had a use for her. It’s just that I’ve been busy recently, so I haven’t had time to deal with her.”
“Really? That’s great!”
(Player Name) (M) was excited.
He thought the King of Winter had intended to execute Claudia from the beginning. Turns out it was just simple imprisonment.
This way, he would have more confidence in saving Claudia.
This player has some issues…
Xi Wei took in all of (Player Name) (M)’s expressions.
Recalling the outrageous actions (Player Name) (M) had previously performed on Claudia, he had a general idea.
“System, can players have offspring with natives of the Cain Continent?”
【Ding! If it is not necessary, the system will not open this function for players.】
“So, it is actually possible?”
【Ding! The player’s body is a semi-energy body made of □□□, similar to the illusions in the Illusion Prism. However, it is currently not possible for players to have offspring with residents of the Cain World. This requires analyzing more rules.】
So that’s how it is. Only “hehehe,” but no babies.
Xi Wei rubbed his chin, but his fingers accidentally touched Connie’s lips as she leaned in for a kiss.
A soft and moist sensation spread from his fingertips.
Xi Wei frowned.
This little loli was unapologetic, directly taking his hand into her mouth.
As expected of a dragon, she wants to taste everything she catches.
With a decision made, Xi Wei also felt inclined to fulfill Connie’s wishes. At the same time, he wanted to try something, so he immediately issued a special private mission to (Player Name) (M).
…
【Ding! Your inquiry has triggered a hidden mission.】
【Mission Objective: Convince Claudia to surrender.】
【Mission Description: Claudia is a wild mage who values freedom. She once fought for Earl Amper for a generous bounty. Now she has become a captive of the King of Winter.】
【The King of Winter is a kind and friendly monarch. He needs powerful mages like Claudia, but he doesn’t want to force her to stay in Winter City. Perhaps you can help him?】
【Mission Reward: 5 Copper Coins, King of Winter’s Favorability +10, certain Experience Points, chance to obtain a special follower.】
【Mission Restriction: Only available for (Player Name) (M) to accept.】
It’s here, a hidden mission!
But for some reason, (Player Name) (M) wasn’t as excited as before.
Why?
He asked himself.
It wasn’t until he left the hall of the King of Winter’s castle that he slowly came to his senses.
Perhaps it was because Claudia was just a mission reward, just data, not a real, living person.
“But she does have emotions, I can feel it.”
“Can Red Queen really do this?”
“Is it really a game?”
He looked at the bustling crowds on the street.
Adults were walking by, holding their children’s hands, laughing happily. Patrol teams were sternly keeping watch for potential crimes in the city. Cries of vendors filled the air, and the aroma of scallions from baked bread wafted from afar.
They had their own lives.
(Player Name) (M) felt lost.
He wandered aimlessly through the streets and unconsciously arrived at the bakery in the Inner City of Winter City.
“Brave warrior, did you enjoy the cake and milk from before? Need anything else?”
“All warriors of Winter City get a 20% discount when buying bread here~”
As soon as the baker aunt saw (Player Name) (M), she immediately recalled this customer who had recently patronized her shop and greeted him with a friendly smile.
(Player Name) (M) pursed his lips, his thoughts snapping back from his previous confusion.
He smiled at the aunt, looking into her eyes for a moment.
Her eyes were bright and clear, filled with rich emotions.
He paused, then said softly:
“The same as before, one milk, hot, and one cloud cake, bagged.”
“No problem, please wait a moment~”
…
“Connie, can you tone it down when there are people around?”
“Why? What’s wrong with me kissing my dad? Daddy, ask the two mommies, they’ll both say Connie is right.”
In the backyard of Winter City, Xi Wei helplessly pulled Connie away from his embrace. His neck was already covered in kiss marks.
Faced with Connie’s persistent clinginess, Xi Wei could only lift her petite body with one hand to pull her away, warning her fiercely:
“Don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking!”
“We have a contract, Connie. Don’t do anything dangerous, or one day I might lose control and just eat you!”
“Okay~”
Connie giggled, hugged Xi Wei’s waist, and her soft, bouncy pretty face rubbed against Xi Wei’s stomach, continuing indistinctly:
“If… if eating Connie can make Daddy happy, then Daddy can eat Connie. This way… Connie can be with Daddy forever~”
Through the contract between them, Xi Wei could feel that Connie wasn’t joking.
This “eating” contained two meanings.
There was the “salty” kind of eating.
And there was also cooking on the stove with some scallions.
Xi Wei: “…”
He was completely at a loss for what to do with Connie.
He thought his two main wives could discipline this mischievous dragon loli, but they had already defected, leaving him in this awkward situation.
“Alright, I have important things to do now. Don’t disturb me.”
Xi Wei sighed and pushed the unwilling little loli away.
He didn’t know what was going on.
Even though she was a black dragon.
Why was her behavior like a koala?
“System, I want to redeem a level four troop camp.”
【Ding! Level four troop camps are as follows, please choose one as a reward.】
【Star Mage Tower – Star Magus】
【Moon Altar – Great Lich】
【Lizardmen Cave – Lizardman Lancers】
【Sword Forging House – Elf Sword Dancer】
【Breaking Shackle Platform – Shattered Shackle Minotaur Guards】
【Pillars of Flame – Rune Priest】
