That night.

A huge bonfire was lit in the courtyard of Duan Yu's house.

Dozens of people were gathered around the fire.

There were villagers from the village, as well as young people from the village whom Duan Yu had gathered after taking over the role of patrolman.

Tie Shitou, Wang Hunu, Chen Qingan, Liu Baitu, Gao Shun, and others were all present.

In addition, the maids and servants brought by Dong Yi were busy around the campfire.

These delicacies from the mountains and wild animals, along with poultry and beasts roasted over a campfire until they sizzled and dripped with oil, their aroma wafting for miles.

As the mud seals of the jars of fine wine were broken, their aroma filled the air.

The three elders of the village and the head of the pavilion also came.

Duan Yu sat in the center, with Diao Chan on his left and Dong Yi on his right.

On the table in front of the three people were pastries, fruits, vegetables, and fine wine.

The two tiger cubs lay obediently at Duan Yu's feet.

Seeing this peaceful and lively scene, Duan Yu also revealed a wise smile.

If the world doesn't descend into chaos, wouldn't it be better to maintain this state indefinitely?

He had three or five beautiful wives, never worried about food or clothing, lived a carefree and uncontested life.

Who says time travelers have to conquer the world?

Duan Yu didn't want to.

In war, people always die.

Even if you have a system that makes you indestructible and invincible, you can't survive a hundred battles.

But what about everyone else?

Duan Yu's gaze fell on Gao Shun, who was sitting not far away with Tie Shitou, Wang Hunu, and others.

The guy still had that stern face, as if everyone owed him money.

But at night, this guy also gently tidied the blankets for Tie Shitou, Wang Hunu, and the others more than once.

Tie Shitou, Wang Hunu, Chen Qing'an, Liu Baitu...

The young people in these villages, full of hope for the future, rise at dawn and rest at sunset every day, working hard to improve themselves.

Won't they die?

definitely will.

War is not child's play, nor is it a man's romance; it is a bloody feast for those in power.

It is the process by which those in power step over the flesh and blood of countless enemies, subordinates, relatives, and friends to reach the supreme position.

If we didn't know that in just one more year, this peace and tranquility would be shattered forever.

Duan Yu also did not want to take up the butcher's knife.

but......

Then again.

If he doesn't fight for it, his friends and family will still die.

It might get even worse.

Without strength, territory, and a solid foundation, how can one maintain this peace and tranquility?

"What are you thinking about?"

Beside her, Dong Yi looked at the campfire, her charming lips curving upwards in a slight smile as she asked.

"I'm thinking..." Duan Yu said softly, "How wonderful it would be if the world were always peaceful and harmonious."

Dong Yi turned her head and looked at Duan Yu with her beautiful eyes, as if there were feelings flowing between them.

"Then... in Brother Duan's tranquil and peaceful picture, will I always be a part of it?"

Diao Chan turned her head to the side, seemingly having also heard Dong Yi's soft whispers, and slightly bit her red lips with her pearly teeth.

"Ah ha ha!"

Duan Yu laughed to cover up his embarrassment.

Dong Yi smiled and tactfully refrained from asking further questions.

Suddenly Dong Yi stood up.

“Back in our hometown, my family and I would always get together like this, singing and dancing around the campfire.”

"Brother Duan, we have wine and meat today, and so many friends."

"How could there be no singing and dancing?"

"How about I perform a dance for you all?"

Dong Yi suddenly stood up to perform a dance, which immediately drew cheers from the villagers and young people around the bonfire.

Everyone was initially apprehensive about Dong Yi, this elegantly dressed noblewoman.

After spending an afternoon with her, everyone found that this noble lady seemed to be very kind.

He speaks and interacts with people without any airs of superiority, and is very approachable to everyone.

Dong Yi, dressed in a black dress, came to the campfire.

The accompanying maid took out her musical instruments and began to play accompaniment.

The light, melodious music immediately filled the courtyard, its lingering notes lingering above the campfire, and the atmosphere gradually warmed up.

Night falls and the sky is full of stars.

Accompanied by the sound of moon dance, the stunningly beautiful lava maiden danced lightly, her black skirt like a blooming black peony, her movements as graceful as willow branches swaying in the wind, beautiful and full of exotic charm.

Her jade-like arms waved, and her snow-white skin was tinged with a crimson hue by the firelight.

Those eyes, reflecting the glittering firelight, were fixed on Duan Yu.

A black veil veils her face, yet feelings of affection swell within.

The surrounding youths stared wide-eyed, afraid of missing a single move.

"Tiger Slave, do you think Miss Dong likes our Brother Duan? Look at the way Miss Dong looks at Brother Duan, so tender." Tie Shitou nudged Wang Hunu beside him with his elbow.

Wang Hunu chuckled and said, "Of course! Our Brother Duan is so handsome and so capable. If I were a woman, I would like Brother Duan just the same."

"Yes, yes!"

Chen Qingan and Liu Baitu both laughed and echoed.

Gao Shun sat behind his desk, the wine in front of him untouched, but half of the meat and fruit had already been consumed.

His expression was blank, but his ears seemed to be standing up.

The gentle music suddenly rose in pitch, resonating in all directions.

Dong Yi, who had been dancing gently, suddenly became more passionate.

With fragrant sweat glistening on her skin, she made a graceful turn and extended her jade-like arm to Duan Yu.

"Brother Duan, Sister Diaochan, come on over!" Dong Yi invited with a smile.

Duan Yu glanced at the shy Diao Chan beside him, then stood up.

The campfire crackled and popped, the flames swaying in the breeze, seemingly cheering for Dong Yi's dance and dancing along with her.

Duan Yu took Dong Yi's hand and held Diao Chan's hand with his other hand, and together they danced around the campfire.

The atmosphere around them was instantly ignited by the group, and villagers, maids, and servants all danced around the bonfire.

The once quiet night instantly became full of passion and energy.

The group stood around the campfire, holding hands to form a large circle.

Her steps swayed to the rhythm of the music, and her face radiated the joy of self-expression.

Duan Yu held Diao Chan's hand with his left hand and Dong Yi's hand with his right, feeling quite pleased with himself.

"Cheers to a better future!"

Duan Yu raised his wine cup: "Tonight, we won't leave until we're drunk!"

Everyone raised their wine bowls and shouted "Cheers!"

..........

The firelight gradually dimmed.

The night was deep.

Most of the people around the campfire were already drunk.

Duan Yu was no exception.

This was the first time he had gotten drunk since he transmigrated here.

"You...you guys keep drinking, I...I can't take it anymore."

Duan Yu staggered towards his room.

My eyes were blurry with drunkenness.

There were still people sitting upright by the campfire.

Given Duan Yu's capacity for three jin of baijiu before his transmigration, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he could drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, even if he were drinking rice wine, which has a lower alcohol content than beer.

If it weren't for the relentless attacks from Tie Shitou, the village youths, and the three elders, Duan Yu would never have gotten drunk.

Staggering, Duan Yu arrived at his room door and pushed it open.

Inside the room, no candles were lit.

Only the cool moonlight shone through the window, along with the faint glow of the campfire.

"hey-hey....."

"My lady... your husband... your husband is here."

Duan Yu chuckled, ripped off his clothes, and then pounced on her with his arms outstretched.

"Woo~"

The sound of lips being blocked on the bed was exhaled instantly.

Her beautiful eyes widened instantly.
