Volume 3, Chapter 82 – Want To Break The Rules For You

The Beastmen’s retreat was actually something that had not been expected.

Before this, according to Xingyu Muxi’s plan, Tianyin’s sortie this time, in theory, should have ended with the Beastman reinforcements being wiped out as a matter of course.

But in reality, something unforeseen had happened.

The Beastmen at the Northern Fortress had been annihilated.

As the one commanding this battle, Fisiel’s importance was beyond question. Once the Beastman army at the Northern Fortress was gone, Fisiel only needed to leave a portion of people behind to guard and repair the Northern Fortress.

Most of the army could be treated by Xingyu Muxi as living strength to be redeployed.

Back in Eden, Tianyin, who had just returned, directly told Xingyu Muxi everything she had run into.

“For something like that to happen… looks like someone among the Beastmen noticed something.”

The information Tianyin had gotten was really far too thin. Aside from learning that there was possibly a Legendary among the Beastman reinforcements, she basically did not have any other useful intel.

“Hmm… Xiaoyin, there really is too little reliable information on this. But the Beastmen choosing to retreat is really outside of my expectations. The Beastmen who find out about the situation at the Northern Fortress should end up making some other big move…”

The elven girl furrowed her brows, looking rather troubled.

“Eh, then what are we going to do next, Sister Xiaomu?”

“What comes next?… The Beastmen are not going to be willing to let the Northern Fortress be taken by us just like that. They will definitely send a large army over… and all we can do is defend… Never mind the Beastmen for now, what I am more concerned about is how the people on the Kingdom’s side will react after they learn that Fisiel has defected.”

“That sounds like such a pain… Sister Xiaomu.”

“A pain? Hey, Xiaoyin, something like this really is just a bit of a hassle. For me, it has not reached the point where there is no way at all…”

Xingyu Muxi smiled and gently stroked Tianyin’s hair with her warm hand.

“Xiaoyin has to believe in me, you know. I really do want to give Xiaoyin a good future.”

“Wuu, but for me, as long as I have Sister Xiaomu by my side with me right now, that’s enough.”

Enjoying the feeling of being patted on the head, Tianyin innocently expressed her own thoughts to Xingyu Muxi.

“Mm, I know. But Xiaoyin, you have to understand that this world is a world where the weak are prey to the strong. Just like back in the Beginner Village… Because of an accident I was separated from you… Even if that was an irresistible force, I will not allow something like that to happen again…”

“Pfft, that was just an accident, Sister Xiaomu. After all, unlike you people from the outside world, we natives cannot enter dungeons. That is just how the rules are~”

“Rules?”

The elven girl shook her head, her gaze incomparably serious.

“Xiaoyin, rules look like iron laws, like they cannot be broken. But rules actually exist to bind the weak. Once you reach a certain level of strength, so-called rules can be rewritten…”

As she spoke these somewhat profound words, the girl looked gently at Tianyin again.

“I actually have the thought of wanting to rewrite this world’s rules for Xiaoyin’s sake, you know.”

“Wuu…”

Tianyin did not know how she was supposed to answer Xingyu Muxi.

However, in Tianyin’s view, wanting to change the rules of this game world was just way too hard…

There were far too many mysterious things. Just that system light orb that had turned her into an NPC was already an existence even more terrifying than a Throne.

“But if it is Sister Xiaomu, I am sure you will succeed!”

Even though she understood in her heart how things were, Tianyin still chose to believe in Xingyu Muxi. In Tianyin’s eyes, as long as it was Sister Xiaomu, even something like rewriting the rules would definitely work out.

“Well, talking about things like that is still too early right now. Xiaoyin, for now we have to deal with the problems in front of us first.”

“Mm~ but if it is Sister Xiaomu, you will definitely have a way to solve them, right?”

“Pfft, solutions are all things you have to think up. Xiaoyin, trusting me too much is not a good thing either. Sometimes you have to think of ways to solve problems on your own too.”

Even though Xingyu Muxi was willing to do her utmost for Tianyin, she did not encourage Tianyin’s habit of relying on others for everything.

So Xingyu Muxi was deliberately trying to guide Tianyin toward learning the habit of thinking independently.

“Wuu, got it…”

Xingyu Muxi had to be right. That was what Tianyin thought.

After talking with Xingyu Muxi, Tianyin, who had for once managed to free up her hands and had some spare time, could finally get some proper rest.

However, to Tianyin’s regret, even though she wanted to rest, those two lolis who liked clinging to her had no intention of letting her rest properly.

Put simply, it was yet another day of two lolis coming to “play” with Tianyin…

“Master is back~ Master has really worked hard these last few days~”

The cute girl with long black hair and delicate features was the first to find Tianyin in the corridor.

“Master, since you are so tired today, I thought of a way that can make Master feel really comfortable~”

The petite loli, that is, Xiaomengyao, ran up to Tianyin at a little trot. It was only when Xiaomengyao’s small figure got closer that Tianyin realized that the clothes her loli disciple was wearing seemed rather few…

A thin layer of something like pajamas. Even though the fabric was not see-through, it seemed to be so thin and small that Tianyin could very clearly make out the girl’s petite silhouette…

“Uwaaaa… Xiaomengyao, Xiaomengyao, what are you doing! Wearing so little… Uwaah, hurry up and go change into proper clothes!”

“Eh? Master seems really shy?”

But Xiaomengyao, as if she had discovered something interesting, not only pretended not to hear Tianyin’s words, she even showed an adorably surprised expression.

And as she watched Xiaomengyao getting closer and closer to her… a blush could not help but spread across Tianyin’s small face.

“Ah, honestly… Xiaomengyao, why are you suddenly wearing so little! It is… it is way too embarrassing, you know?”

“It is not embarrassing. After all, Master is the only one here. Could it be that Master is shy because you are looking at such a cute me dressed like this?”

Rеаd oո КаtReаԁіnɡСаfe

Cute? This was not even a question of cute anymore! Dressed like that, you are going to make other people commit crimes!

Tianyin was desperately complaining in her heart.

“No, no, no. Anyway, just hurry up and put on proper clothes!”

“Uu, Master, dressing like this actually has a reason. Just now I found a really nice place, so I was thinking of taking Master there together~”

“You don;t have to wear that little just to go to a nice place!!”

Black lines ran down Tianyin’s face.

“A hot spring, Master, it is a hot spring~ Sister Xiaomu actually built a hot spring next door~ So Master, let’s go soak in the hot spring together~”

Xiaomengyao said as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

“Eh…? A hot spring?”

So it was a hot spring? Wait, when did the City Lord’s Mansion get a hot spring? How did I not know?

Tianyin looked completely lost.
