"Don't mention it. These things are also very beneficial to me." Chen Yuan smiled, pulled with one hand, and a cyan vortex spun in his palm. With a casual toss, several large trees were cut down.

Seeing this, Chen Yuan nodded in satisfaction. Just absorbing the Desire Gem had such power; he couldn't imagine how strong he would be if he completely absorbed it.

The power to create and manipulate ideal fluids is what the Gem of Desire embodies, primarily manifested as wind, but this doesn't mean it can only be used for wind-type attacks. The Herrscher of Wind who attacked Dr. Mei in the previous civilization could achieve invisibility by utilizing the refraction of light in the air.

As the last rays of the setting sun faded and night slowly fell, the campfire on the beach illuminated everyone's faces, bringing a touch of warmth.

"Mmm~ I'm so full~" Kiana finally put down the grilled meat in her hand, patted her belly contentedly, and turned to look at the distant mountaintop. "I wonder how Aunt Flo is doing, it's been so long."

"Don't worry, both Himeko-sensei and Headmistress Theresa are formidable opponents," Bronya replied calmly, glancing at Kiana. "Brother Chenyuan isn't an ordinary person either; he even mastered quantum magic back then..."

Bronya stopped there, and Seele understood what she meant. She stepped forward and gently patted her back. Xing, however, let out a disgruntled "tsk."

"Hey everyone, we're back." Just then, Theresa's voice came from the path. Everyone turned to look and saw a group of people walking towards them step by step.

Wendy walked at the front, her face showing a hint of fatigue but more of a sense of relief.

"Wendy!" Kiana jumped up first, excitedly running over and hugging Wendy tightly. "Are you alright? We were all so worried about you! Did Chen Yuan bully you? Ouch, that hurts~"

"This is punishment for you. What kind of person do you take me for?" He retracted the tentacles and glared at Kiana. "If you don't shut your mouth, I'll hit you on the head every day!"

"I'm fine, Kiana, thank you everyone for your concern." Wendy smiled slightly and gently patted Kiana's back. "Mr. Dust didn't bully me either, quite the opposite..."

At this point, Wendy glanced furtively at Theresa's Dust Fate, but immediately looked away, a blush creeping onto her face. Fortunately, it was nighttime, and no one could see her clearly.

"Brother Chenyuan, you've worked hard." Bronya stepped forward, her usually calm face unusually filled with worry. "You look tired too, why don't you rest for a bit?"

"It's alright, I'm fine." Chen Yuan waved his hand. Although his body was indeed a little tired, the sense of accomplishment he felt was unparalleled. "I've absorbed the Gem of Desire, and for now, I'm in great shape!"

Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the atmosphere became more relaxed. Theresa then ran to the luggage, rummaged around inside, and pulled out a digital camera. "Let's take a picture together to conclude today!"

"Yay! Time for a photo!" Kiana immediately responded, grabbing Wendy's hand and excitedly running towards the group around the campfire. "Everyone come over here, we're going to take a picture!"

"Kiana, Mei, Himeko, you guys are tall, stand at the back. Seele and Bronya, you two stand at the front."

Theresa adjusted the camera angle while directing everyone's positions. "Xing, Wendy, and I will sit in the front; the composition will be better that way."

Everyone took their positions as Theresa instructed. After Theresa chose her spot, she handed over the task of pressing the shutter to Chenyuan, and then ran to Wendy's side.

"3, 2, 1, cheese!" Chen Yuan manipulated the tentacles to press the shutter, and the flash captured this beautiful moment forever in the photo.

After taking photos, everyone returned to the campfire to continue enjoying this rare moment of tranquility. The flames of the campfire leaped, occasionally crackling as the firewood burned, blending with the sound of waves lapping against the shore to create a beautiful natural symphony.

"Alright, everyone. It's already so late. Let's go to Wendy's room for the night." After a while, Chen Yuan looked at Kiana, who was already asleep on Mei's shoulder, and smiled indulgently.

Logically, this would be the time Kiana and Bronya would be playing games at St. Freya Academy. But today, the girl must have gone too far; she's already sleepy.

“Yes, that’s true, everyone’s tired today.” Theresa nodded in agreement, then looked at Wendy, “Wendy, can your room accommodate so many people?”

Wendy frowned after hearing this, thought for a moment, and then shook her head. "It probably won't work. There are only two rooms. After all, when it was built, it was only to house me, so there wasn't any particular design."

"It's alright, Bronya, Seele, and Xing can sleep on the floor with Brother Chenyuan," Bronya suggested, raising her hand. In any case, they just couldn't let Chenyuan and Theresa sleep together.

"I don't really need anything, I'm just happy to have a place to sleep." Raiden Mei gently patted Kiana's shoulder to wake her up, then whispered to the others, "But it would be best to give Kiana her own place, she's a bit sleepy at night..."

Raiden Mei didn't continue, but everyone understood what she meant. Mei would never forget the embarrassing moment when Kiana kicked her awake back at Me Company.

“Then let’s just throw Kiana on the sofa.” Theresa frowned, wanting to refute Bronya’s words, but when she saw Bronya’s mouth, she immediately changed her attitude. “Then it’s settled, Himeko, Wendy, and I will live together.”

"Mei, you can squeeze in with Bronya and the others. After all, the three of them are smaller. As for Kiana, just throw her on the sofa."

After saying this, Theresa raised an eyebrow and looked at Bronya smugly. "You think I'm really as I seem? If you won't let me have an easy time, I won't let you have one either!"

Bronya reacted as if she were meeting Theresa for the first time. This old man actually dared to retaliate. If Raiden Mei were planted here, wouldn't she be unable to be affectionate with Brother Chenyuan at night?

Thus, the alliance that Theresa and Bronya had only recently established has completely broken down, which is truly a cause for celebration.

“Well… I think it’s better to…” Raiden Mei was about to say that she could sleep with Kiana, but when she saw Chen Yuan yawn, she stopped herself. “Then let’s do as the headmaster says…”

Mei blushed slightly after saying that, but thankfully it wasn't very noticeable in the firelight. Bronya still saw it, gave an annoyed "tsk," and said nothing more.

And so, the group packed their things and headed towards Wendy's residence. Soon they arrived at the villa, tossed Kiana onto the sofa, covered her with a blanket, said goodnight, and went back to their rooms.

"Alright, let's start assigning beds. I want to sleep with Mr. Little!!" Before Bronya could even speak, Seele, who had just entered the room, rushed in and grabbed Chenyuan.

“Sister Bronya is with Mr. Little every day, so it’s time for her to give him to us today.”

“Seele is right. She’s been hogging the God for so long, but she’s at least starting to have some self-awareness!” Xing held the Void Breaker in her hand, walked to Seele’s side, and looked at Bronya coldly.

Bronya, seeing the two of them like this, couldn't help but break into a rare display of composure. She'd been so focused on Theresa that she'd completely forgotten about the two girls.

"Alright, then let's fight for Brother Chenyuan tonight!" Bronya summoned Heavy Bunny, and in the small room, the battle between the three little girls was about to begin.

"Little Master, who do you want to be with tonight... Hey, where did Little Master go?" Xi'er wanted to ask Chen Yuan's opinion, but found that in just a short while, Chen Yuan had already slipped away from her.

Looking again, they saw him sitting quietly on Raiden Mei's shoulder, watching the group. Noticing everyone's gaze, Chen Yuan said calmly, "Go ahead and fight. Why aren't you fighting? Aren't you all pretty capable? Come on, let's see who can win today."

Upon hearing this, the three children immediately panicked. They each put away their weapons, stood obediently in a row, heads bowed, not daring to look at Chen Yuan. "Brother Chen Yuan (Little Master) (Lord God), we were wrong."

"Hmph!" Chen Yuan snorted coldly, ignoring them for the time being. He gently patted Raiden Mei's face and whispered, "I'm sorry, Mei, you might have to sleep with me tonight. I don't trust those girls."

Feeling the warmth of her breath on her ear, Raiden Mei didn't even consider what Chen Yuan had said before, and subconsciously nodded, agreeing in a muffled voice. "Chen Yuan... Mr. Chen Yuan, whatever you decide is fine with me!"

Hearing Mei agree, Chen Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at the three little ones standing there. "The three of you will sleep in the middle tonight, and Mei will sleep on the side. That's settled then. Do you have any objections?"

The three little ones dared not have any objections. It was obvious that Chen Yuan was already angry. To argue with him at this time would only be asking for trouble. They all obediently nodded.

Seeing that the three little ones had given in, Chen Yuan softened his tone slightly and sighed softly, "Alright, everyone had a tough day, so let's all get some rest."

They turned off the lights and lay down on their beds. Soon they all fell asleep, as they had all been having a crazy day and were all a little tired. But Raiden Mei couldn't fall asleep.

Raiden Mei was already a little uneasy from hearing Chen Yuan's breathing so closely, and when she remembered the duet between him and Theresa that night, she couldn't sleep at all!
