Chapter 2: New Century (Epilogue)
“Touch???”
This sentence could easily lead to impure thoughts. Xi Wei, as a proper lord, also had such thoughts, but he felt even more that the Saintess was acting strangely. She was completely different from head to toe. This Demi-human Saintess had turned into a completely different person.
From a meek, befuddled rabbit, she had become a fox befitting her ears and tail, even actively seducing him. Was she driven mad by a dream? Of course, perhaps she had awakened some incredible attribute.
“Um, I think I’ve regained control of my opponent…”
Xi Wei awkwardly rubbed his nose, and the other hand was removed from Ruo Yi’s backside, dropping naturally to his sides.
Ruo Yi heard Xi Wei’s words and noticed his movement. Her originally seductive expression turned into one of slight shock. He’s not taking the bait, even when it’s delivered on a platter? That’s right, this was the big boy she liked, all lust and no courage.
Upon thinking this, a gentle smile bloomed on Ruo Yi’s fair and pretty face, like the warming sun rising. Even in her self-imagined dreams, the Xi Wei with whom she had fallen in love a thousand times was also like this; had she not made the first move, Xi Wei might not have touched her.
However, she didn’t know that it was Xi Wei’s aura that had influenced her, leading her to imagine a more realistic Xi Wei in the second round of nightmares. Now, in Xi Wei’s embrace, that familiar aura constantly reminded her that everything happening now was real, or at the very least, what she hoped to see.
But then she thought of the Little Maid who always stayed by Xi Wei’s side, and the flames in her eyes were extinguished as if by a torrential downpour. It seemed she had arrived too late after all. She lowered her head in silence, yet she was greedy for his embrace, unwilling to leave for a long time.
“Knock, knock, knock.”
“Master, are you there? Loli is coming in~”
The Little Maid’s soft and tender voice suddenly came from outside the door. As she pushed the door open, she continued to say with a giggle, “Mrs. Chris isn’t here today, so I came back early!”
“Master~ Why are you just standing there blankly?”
Xi Wei was taken aback by her words and only then realized that the girl who had been lying in his arms was nowhere to be seen. Behind him, only the curtains swayed gently in the breeze.
Loli stood at the doorway of the room. Her small, delicate nose twitched, keenly catching a trace of the Fox-eared girl’s alluring scent in the air. Ruo Yi had come to the Master’s room? What did she want?
Loli’s smile turned a little dangerous, but she suddenly remembered that without Ruo Yi, she and the Master might already be dead. She shouldn’t harbor such animosity toward Ruo Yi. Yet, she was still afraid of the Master being snatched away. Perhaps she should find a time to talk with Ruo Yi.
“Master~ Have you been alone in the room all this time?”
As she asked, she gently snuggled into Xi Wei’s embrace, wrinkling her small and cute nose, sniffing around. From Xi Wei’s shoulder, she even found a few strands of snow-white hair.
“No, Ruo Yi was here just now, and her state was a bit odd.”
Xi Wei knitted his brows, still pondering the previous events. He had no intention of hiding anything from the Little Maid; instead, he proactively and in detail told her about Ruo Yi’s strange behavior.
After hearing Xi Wei’s description, Loli first gave him a sweet look, then wrapped her two tender hands around his waist, burying her pretty face in his chest. She took a deep breath and said muffledly, “Ruo Yi’s situation might be related to the nightmares she experienced.”
“Master might be the savior in her dreams~” Loli raised her pretty face, her long eyelashes fluttering, and looked at Xi Wei with bright eyes, silently adding to herself: He is also the savior in Loli’s world.
“Even if I saved her in her nightmares, it was fake, all her own imagination. Now that she’s out of the nightmares, why is she still taking it seriously?”
Xi Wei still couldn’t understand. Just how stimulating must the nightmares have been? However, one cannot understand another’s pain without experiencing it. Xi Wei only hoped that with time, Ruo Yi would see herself clearly; he really couldn’t face her the way he faced Loli right now.
But the good news was that since Ruo Yi had a good impression of him and had even helped greatly on the battlefield before, she probably wouldn’t think of leaving. Putting these matters aside for the moment, Xi Wei took out the Vena Holy Garment rewarded by the system and said to Loli, who was burying herself in his arms and breathing deeply, “Loli, you gave Master a four-leaf clover necklace, so Master will also give you a gift.”
As Xi Wei spoke, amidst Loli’s expectant and curious gaze, he handed the holy garment to her. Then, he leaned close to her ear and whispered a few words. The Little Maid blushed immediately, her earlobes glowing red.
“Ma… Master, this dress…”
Loli unfolded the garment and a blush burned on her face as she looked at the highly transparent nightgown. She stammered, “Master, Loli… Loli really has to wear this dress… and not wear… not wear innerwear?”
“Cough cough—” Xi Wei cleared his throat, nodded, his expression stern, and righteously explained, “Loli, this is Hero-grade equipment, it’s very comfortable to wear, and it can change into different clothes, like your maid dress.”
“You don’t need to wear innerwear when you sleep, but you should wear it normally.”
“In addition, it has other functions, such as being spotless, naturally affinity-enhancing, and it can also increase your charm. Wearing it, you will surely be the most beautiful Demi-human girl.”
The most beautiful Demi-human girl?
“Really?”
Hearing him, Loli suppressed her panic and shyness, and instead, a hint of expectation appeared in her eyes. Increase charm? Wouldn’t that make it easier for the Master to have a baby with her? If that were the case, even if she had to wear this embarrassing holy garment in front of the Master and no innerwear, it would be acceptable…
The Little Maid shyly hugged the Vena Holy Garment, gazing at Xi Wei with her light red eyes coquettishly. She thanked him, “This is a gift from Master to Loli. Loli will definitely cherish it.” After saying that, her pretty face flushed, and she bit her lip, continuing to stammer, “Tonight… Loli will… will also listen to Master and wear it… without innerwear.”
After speaking, without waiting for Xi Wei’s reply, the Little Maid hugged the clothes and dashed back to her room.

…
In Xi Wei’s room.
On the desk sat a large cup of pure milk that had already been finished. A faint scent of milk still lingered in the air. Loli’s throat bobbed as she swallowed, her hot face glancing at Xi Wei. The Master always told her to drink more milk. Although milk tasted good and was nutritious, pure milk was very expensive now, costing 10 silver coins a can. She knew the Master doted on her, but she didn’t want him to spend too much money to supplement her nutrition.
After finishing her bedtime milk, Loli trotted to the bed, rinsed her mouth, washed her face, and tiptoed back like a cat, snuggling into Xi Wei’s embrace. She was wearing the Vena Holy Garment transformed into a backless sweater. Her hot pretty face was pressed against Xi Wei’s chest, listening to his strong heartbeat. Her eyes were filled with dependence and sweetness as she looked at Xi
