Day and night alternated.
The dawn’s first light pierced the gray sky of the cavern, and a gentle breeze blew through the gaps in the camp’s windows onto Chen Yu’s sleeping face on the camp bed.
With sleepy eyes, he opened them and stretched lazily.
“Where did this kid go?”
He glanced to his side.
Normally, at this time, Hei Dou would be sleeping soundly with its little paws curled up. Yet, since Chen Yu fell asleep last night, he hadn’t seen a trace of Hei Dou.
Thinking about the time, it should have disappeared when Chen Yu was practicing magic.
Although Hei Dou hadn’t returned all night.
Chen Yu wasn’t worried about Hei Dou being in any danger. They had a contract, and if Hei Dou were in danger or in trouble, he would sense it.
Moreover, Hei Dou’s name was also on the camp roster.
“Probably went to hang out with the women.”
Chen Yu muttered.
If one were to talk about a perverted leader, Hei Dou would definitely be above Chen Yu. Its mind was always filled with thoughts of voluptuous older sisters. When they entered the city, there were plenty of beautiful beast girls among the former slaves. If he didn’t take advantage of them, it wouldn’t be his style.
And he was still a cat now.
Towards such a cute little pet, no one would guard against it. He could take advantage of the situation without any reservations. If everything went as expected, the pet evolution potion that Chen Yu gave him would remain unused, as this was his plan.
Of course—
Chen Yu didn’t dislike Hei Dou this way.
From Chen Yu’s understanding of him, he would only act cute and pampered by cuddling on the beast girls’ chests. He wouldn’t dare to do anything too excessive.
Even if there were some actions that crossed the line.
If it was mutual, Chen Yu wouldn’t have much to say.
He pushed open the door.
As the breeze brushed against his face, Chen Yu felt a hint of coolness. The all-night rain had lowered the temperature in the cavern considerably, but it had also become much fresher.
After Chen Yu quickly washed up, he saw Nuoya and Su Bei already busy in the flowerbed.
Everything was as usual.
Even though they had entered the city, the camp life hadn’t really changed much.
“City Lord, you’re awake~” Nuoya, carrying a flower basket and tending to the flowerbed, smiled when she saw Chen Yu. Chen Yu also walked over slowly, reached out and ruffled Su Bei’s little head, then looked at the flowerbed in front of him. “These new sprouts, are they the flowers you planted?”
“Mhm~”
Nuoya smiled and nodded.
“They grew quite quickly,” Chen Yu murmured softly.
It hadn’t been very long since Nuoya became the gardener of the camp, and now new sprouts were breaking through the soil, which surprised Chen Yu.
“In about two months, this place will become a vibrant garden,”
Nuoya spread her arms and smiled with anticipation.
“I’m also looking forward to that day,” Chen Yu whispered with a smile. If the flowers here could truly grow, they would also adorn his camp more brilliantly. “I’ll trouble you to take care of the flowerbed.”
“And me too~”
Su Bei, with some dirt on her nose, tilted her little head. Chen Yu smiled at the mention.
“Yes, I almost forgot about our little gardener. You should learn how to plant flowers from Nuoya sister and become an outstanding flower planter in the future, okay?”
“Mhm mhm~”
He gently ruffled Su Bei’s little head again, and then Chen Yu walked to the side yard with his hands behind his back.
Although Kuka was not in the camp.
The groundhog still maintained a stable supply, transported here by the beastmen in the camp, and then dissected by the magic sprites Chen Yu hired and placed in the refrigerators. As the number of members increased, food consumption also increased.
However—
The issue of food scarcity did not occur. Instead, his food reserves became even more abundant. Especially meat, which filled almost all the refrigerators.
To prevent the food reserves in the refrigerators from reaching saturation, Chen Yu specially made another 20.
Better safe than sorry.
After all, although his basic resources were not abundant, they were relatively ample, and there were no problems with expanding facilities.
After placing the refrigerators, Chen Yu couldn’t help but look around.
He felt the need to plan a granary.
There was no need for too many changes within the camp. Although he now owned a city and had more land to use, his camp couldn’t stay here forever.
He would still explore and adventure.
Staying in one place was out of the question.
With such a rich and colorful underground world, wouldn’t it be a waste not to see more of it?
The granary was planned for the city.
“Sigh, what a hassle,” Chen Yu couldn’t help but mutter softly. Immediately, a whisper reached his ear, “What’s bothering you again? Tell me, maybe I can help you.”
This familiar voice, tinged with a hint of arrogance.
Without a doubt, Chen Yu knew that the demon girl had appeared.
He turned his head slightly.
As expected, the demon girl was standing beside him. However, she was wearing a long dress like a black swan today, which made her already fair skin appear even more like porcelain.
Beside her, Sona wore a white lace dress.
The black and white contrast between them.
It was indeed fitting for their angelic and demonic identities.
“You still dare to come out?!” Chen Yu immediately shot Barbara a glare and snorted, “The bet, you have to fulfill it. I was too tired to bother with you last night, you…”
“Hey, that’s unreasonable!”
The demon girl pointed her finger and glared.
“Sona, did you hear that? He’s unreasonable. I already gave him compensation yesterday, and he’s still bringing up the bet, being a scoundrel.”
“Who wants your compensation,” Chen Yu pouted.
Did he need compensation?
No!
It was unlikely that Barbara’s compensation would be anything valuable. And with his current status, money was just a number.
He still felt that it would be more pleasant to have Barbara give him a bath.
A maid’s intimate bath.
An emperor’s enjoyment.
What was the point of living if not to make oneself comfortable and at ease?
“Take it back!” Chen Yu took out a bracelet from his embrace and solemnly extended it. “I don’t accept your compensation. Please fulfill the bet. Even as you said, if you lacked consideration, I’m not disrespecting you. We can halve the duration of our bet.”
“Chen Yu, did you even look at the compensation I gave you?”
Unexpectedly—
The little demon girl was not annoyed at all. Instead, she stared at Chen Yu with a strange look for a long time.
“Why should I look?” Chen Yu pouted. “I want you to fulfill the bet. I don’t need your compensation. I just want you to give me a bath.”
“Are you sure?”
“Ah!”
“I really suggest you take a look, otherwise you might regret it very much.” The demon girl said with a very serious expression, raising her chin slightly and extending the bracelet again. “Really, just take a look.”
Hiss!
Looking at Barbara’s expression, she seemed very confident about her compensation.
Could it be that it was very valuable?
With her saying that, Chen Yu lost his initial persistence.
“Me, take a look?”
“Take a look, take a look.” It was evident that Barbara was quite eager. She had no choice but to be eager, as she absolutely did not want to give a bath.
With suspicion, Chen Yu’s consciousness entered the bracelet.
Almost instantly—
“Holy cow, you actually have this?”
