Chapter 2: New Century (Epilogue)
Chapter 607: I’m Here to Check on You
Gabrielle’s room was not in the main castle of Winter Fort. Since she had to get up early every morning to go to the Enforcement Department for work, she chose a room in the副堡 closer to the dining hall.
Xi Wei leaped down from the sky, rolled, and landed on one knee. His black cloak fluttered in the wind behind him, making him look incredibly dashing.
This haul was significant.
Not only had he expanded the Crystal Palace, but he had also successfully acquired Bai Yao’s S-socks and triangle underwear. Those two little girls probably hadn’t realized it yet. It was flawless!
As for why he did this?
It was for future preparedness.
In case the system asked him to steal again, he could just turn around, walk into his office, pull out a book from the bookshelf, and then the entire wall would turn, revealing a wardrobe.
And inside that wardrobe was Winter Fort’s most valuable possessions.
All of them “original”!
Keke~
As a king, foresight was very important.
Xi Wei looked up. The largest room on the second floor of the副堡 was pitch black. A cactus sat on the windowsill, making it easily identifiable. That was Gabrielle’s room.
He tore through space and stepped inside.
“Your Majesty Winter, what brings you to my room so late at night?”
A seductive voice sounded from behind Xi Wei, making him shudder.
What was going on?
What was Gabrielle doing in her room in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?
Xi Wei turned his head and saw Gabrielle sitting at her desk, bathed in moonlight. The night wind stirred her golden hair as she leisurely swung her long, slender legs.
She was wearing a slip dress, her golden eyes fixed on him without blinking.
“Cough, cough, I’m here to check on your situation.”
Xi Wei’s gaze scanned left and right, searching for the mission item.
Since he was already here, leaving without completing the mission wouldn’t be his style.
“You can check on my situation during the day. Why choose the middle of the night?”
Gabrielle slid off the desk and walked over to Xi Wei. She circled his stiff form, her cold fingers casually tracing an arc on his chest, her tone playful yet curious.
“What are you doing sitting by the window so late at night?”
Xi Wei awkwardly changed the subject.
“You know, the four Archangels have a certain precognitive ability. Archangel Gabriel told me you’d be coming tonight and to be prepared.”
“Prepared for what?” Xi Wei’s face turned pale.
“Prepared to have your S-socks stolen.” Gabrielle smiled slightly and slithered around Xi Wei like a snake spirit, from his left to his right. Her voluptuous body brushed against his arm, her eyes fixed on his profile, like a child who had found their favorite toy.
“I…”
Xi Wei’s jaw dropped.
Were angels that idle?
Why were they predicting his actions for no reason?
Did they have a screw loose?
“That’s right, I’m here for the S-socks.”
Xi Wei stopped pretending and confessed.
“Oh my, oh my~ So our King of Winter blushes too?” Gabrielle leaned on Xi Wei’s shoulder, her breath like a mischievous hand caressing his ear.
“If you wanted the S-socks, you could have just asked. I wouldn’t have refused. Why steal them?”
Gabrielle lifted the hem of her long skirt, and a soft glow flickered on her thigh. The material was smooth and delicate. Xi Wei immediately recognized what it was: his mission objective, the S-socks!
“Come, help yourself.”
She leaned against the bed and, like a little fey, extended her leg towards Xi Wei.
Xi Wei’s mouth twitched.
The Church of Light really had eyes like a dog’s to accept such a creature as their Saintess of Judgment. This one should have been in hell, working as a succubus.
Since he was exposed anyway, Xi Wei decided to embrace his wicked side. With a flash of white light, the stockings were torn to shreds.
Gabrielle’s smooth leg was revealed in the moonlight. Her tender, jade-like feet seemed to feel the cool breeze and the scorching gaze. Her delicate toes quickly and shyly curled inward.
“You’re a bit rough~”
Gabrielle’s pretty face turned slightly red, and she hooked Xi Wei’s left hand with her other foot.
This wasn’t over, was it!
Xi Wei frowned, and the dagger flashed again.
Swish—!
The other S-sock was torn to shreds.
But the mission wasn’t complete yet.
He still needed to “appreciate” them.
What a hassle.
People often break through their limits under extreme circumstances.
Like Xi Wei now, who began to “deeply appreciate” the remnants right in front of Gabrielle. This unusual behavior stunned Gabrielle completely.
“Hey! I wore those all day!”
“Not bad, not bad, very fragrant~ What does it matter if you wore them all day? These are the real deal~” Xi Wei didn’t care. He even held a piece of the fragment in front of Gabrielle, inviting her to “appreciate” it too.
Gabrielle: “Σ( ° △ °|||)︴??”
Gabriel had only told her that Xi Wei would come to steal the S-socks, but she hadn’t told her that Xi Wei would be so perverted!
If she had known Xi Wei was this perverted, she would never have dared to provoke him!
She was scared. She wasn’t playing anymore.
She quickly tried to pull her foot back, but Xi Wei held her foot tightly.
“You, what do you want? I, I’m warning you! I have people looking out for me!”
“Keke!” Xi Wei let out a sinister laugh.
The moment the system prompt for mission completion appeared, he threw the silk fragments aside, his ill intentions now fully focused on Gabrielle’s tender, soft feet.
“Whether the people above are looking out for you or me, it remains to be seen, but I know that you are about to be in trouble!”
Xi Wei gripped Gabrielle’s foot and pulled slightly, easily lifting her upside down.
“Pervert, let me go!”
Gabrielle’s face flushed red as she struggled violently. Her strong thighs coiled and kicked, her other foot trying to ensnare Xi Wei’s hand, but she couldn’t move it at all.
“If you don’t let me go, I’ll scream!”
Xi Wei snapped his fingers. A soundproof spell array scroll flew out of his Space Ring and, with a thought, tore open to his left and right. Then, Legendary-grade Qi power began to seep into Gabrielle’s foot from her sole, locking the power within her body.
Everything was ready, only the eastern wind was missing.
Xi Wei threw the completely immobilized Gabrielle onto the bed. He then took out an alchemy device from his Space Ring. This contraption was acquired from the Winter organization. As long as a Magic Core was installed, it could operate for extended periods.
Gabrielle lay on her stomach, unable to move. Fortunately, her skirt covered her rear, preventing any indecent exposure, but it didn’t stop her from twisting her head to glare at Xi Wei.
“You, what do you want?”
Xi Wei glanced at Gabrielle and smirked, “What I want? You’ll find out soon enough…”
He squatted down, attached two feathers to the mechanical device’s arm, and then inserted a Magic Core into the alchemy machine’s power slot. The alchemy machine’s arm immediately began to swing left and right.
Technology changes the world.
Xi Wei couldn’t help but give it a mental thumbs-up.
“Hahaha, no! Stop! It tickles! Hahaha!”
This was Gabrielle’s first time experiencing such torture. Her pretty face turned beet red, and tears of laughter streamed down her face.
How did things turn out this way…
She had intended to tease Xi Wei and make a fool of him.
How had she ended up losing instead!?
“Did you make a mistake? Hmm… you’re still laughing at me. It seems you still don’t know you’re wrong. Keke…”
Xi Wei set the alchemy machine’s timer for an hour.
Then he pulled over a chair, sat by the bed, and took a bottle of red wine from his Space Ring, twisting open the cap. He poured a full glass.
He swirled the wine glass, bathed in moonlight, crossed his legs, and watched the Saintess writhe on the bed, laughing uncontrollably.
“Cheers!”
Xi Wei raised his glass to the moon and took a satisfying sip.
The life of the King of Winter was indeed elegant, leisurely, simple, and unadorned.
