Volume 8, Chapter 25 – Tianyin’s Morning

After defeating the demon army, not even the shadow of a single demon could be seen around the Northern Fortress.

After the bloody battle came a rare calm. However, beneath this thin layer of tranquility, Tianyin felt a sense of an approaching storm.

Was she overthinking it?

Tianyin didn’t know about those matters. For now, she could still comfortably wear her soft pajamas and rest peacefully in her room, sleeping.

“Wuu…”

When the first ray of morning sunlight lazily shone in through the window, Tianyin slowly opened her sleepy eyes.

Her silver-white long hair was casually spread behind her head, while her gemstone-like pupils reflected the scenery of the entire room.

A faint mist of moisture could be seen in her eyes, and paired with that adorably illegal little face, almost anyone who saw her would unconsciously feel a surge of affection.

However, there was currently no one who could witness this sight of Tianyin.

“Is it morning already?”

Tianyin stared blankly at the sunlight falling outside the window, not knowing what she was thinking. After spacing out for quite a while, she slowly lifted the blanket covering her and gently climbed out of bed.

The thin blanket was pulled up and then slowly slid down her body, gradually revealing Tianyin’s petite figure dressed in pajamas.

Her slender little hands were not covered by the sleeves, revealing baby-like fair and smooth skin. Her silver-white long hair moved along with Tianyin’s motions, loosely scattered across her body.

“Wuu…”

Clearly, Tianyin had not fully woken up yet. As time passed, her body woke up first, and her mind gradually returned to reality.

She blinked her big eyes, and only then did Tianyin completely wake up.

『Good morning, Samael~』

The first thing she did after waking up was greet Samael, who was residing within her body.

「Good morning, Xiaoyin. Looks like you rested quite well today.」

『Mm, I slept really well. And I even had a beautiful dream full of desserts~』

When it came to desserts, Tianyin couldn’t help but recall the little shop in Eden that was filled with sweets.

「Oh my, Xiaoyin really seems to love desserts. Even though you’re a dignified Throne-tier, your fondness for desserts still hasn’t changed. In some aspects, Xiaoyin is very mature, but when it comes to food, Xiaoyin is still a complete child~」

『I’m… I’m not a child! What’s wrong with liking desserts? Do only children get to like desserts?』

Samael’s words made Tianyin’s little face flush red. Even so, Tianyin still wanted to firmly deny the fact that she was a “child”.

「Well, the more you try to hide something, the harder it becomes to explain. So in this regard, as someone with experience, I’m very qualified to speak~」

That settled it.

Indeed, as someone who had lived for an unknown number of years, Samael naturally understood far more than someone like Tianyin who had only lived for a little over ten years. And in this point, it was a fact Tianyin could not refute.

『You’re bullying me, Samael is always calling me a child…』

「What’s wrong with being a child? Xiaoyin is so cute. Even if you’re a child, I still like Xiaoyin. Besides, doesn’t everyone like this kind of Xiaoyin too?」

『Wuu…』

Alright, Tianyin had to admit that Samael’s words were very convincing. At the very least, Tianyin couldn’t think of anything she could use to refute Samael at the moment.

『Ah, I’m done talking… I should go wash up!』

Knowing that she could never win against Samael on this topic, Tianyin could only choose to escape it. Of course, getting up and washing was also something Tianyin had to do every morning.

Although a Throne-tier body didn’t need such cleaning at all, Tianyin, who had her own hygiene habits, didn’t neglect this step just because of her Throne-tier abilities.

On the contrary, Tianyin had already grown accustomed to cleaning herself every day. If one had to describe it, as a “girl”, Tianyin cared very much about the cleanliness of her body.

Naturally, the morning routine was very simple, basically brushing her teeth and washing her face. However, when it came to her silver-white long hair, Tianyin felt a bit troubled.

“Ah… my hair is such a mess…”

Her gaze fell upon her clearly messy hair in the mirror, and Tianyin sighed helplessly.

“Hair is such a hassle… if Xiaomengyao were here, it’d be great. At least Xiaomengyao would help me comb my hair…”

To be fair, back in Eden, things like her hair were basically taken care of by Xiaomengyao. Although saying it like that made it seem as if Tianyin was exploiting Xiaomengyao.

But considering Tianyin’s identity as Xiaomengyao’s Master, this matter seemed only natural.

Of course, that didn’t mean Tianyin herself couldn’t comb her hair. At most, she was just lazy…

Yes, Tianyin was indeed a lazy loli. And if possible, Tianyin’s dream was the kind of life where she didn’t need to do anything, could sleep until she naturally woke up every day, and could eat desserts every single day.

「Well, for now, you can only comb it yourself, Xiaoyin.」

In response to Tianyin’s complaints, Samael simply comforted her in a gentle tone.

After finishing her personal hygiene, Tianyin left her room.

Then after wandering around through several turns, she arrived at the dining area.

Inside the dining room, as the commander of the Northern Fortress, the Knight Princess Fisiel had already been waiting for a long time. Of course, before Tianyin arrived, the “old-fashioned” knight girl had not eaten the prepared breakfast, instead waiting for Tianyin.

“Morning~ Fisiel~”

Seeing the knight girl, Tianyin naturally greeted her.

“Good morning, Xiaoyin.”

The blonde Knight Princess responded seriously to Tianyin’s greeting.

Of course, she called her Xiaoyin here because Tianyin had already said that in private, calling her Xiaoyin was fine. Otherwise, with Fisiel’s usual conduct, she would probably always call Tianyin my lord. And if that were the case, Tianyin wouldn’t like it.

“Hehe, what’s for breakfast today? Is there sweet melon juice?”

Because she loved desserts, and by extension sweet things in general, Tianyin naturally loved sweet drinks. As for beverages, sweet melon juice was Tianyin’s favorite.

After all, sweet melon juice even had the word “sweet” in its name!

“Yes. After all, I remember Xiaoyin’s preferences very clearly. And sweet melon juice is relatively simple to make, so it was prepared.”

“Wuwa~”

Upon hearing Fisiel’s words, Tianyin eagerly jumped onto the chair by the dining table.

Yes, jumped.

Given Tianyin’s height, it was simply there. So if she wanted to sit on the chair, she had to use jumping.

Not only that, the chair Tianyin used had also been specially modified, being just “a little bit” higher than normal chairs.
