Zongman: Evolution Paradise

"Damn it, why can't I grow taller?!"

Miyuki Aso had no thoughts, only resentment.

Twenty-seven years old, 1.34 meters tall.

Fortunately, she was cute and was praised as a swallow in the palm of one's hand.

After hesitating for a long time, Kirisu Mafuyu couldn't help but ask, "Shizuka, is it true that you said you are Jolyne's teacher?"

Kirisu Mafuyu held onto a sliver of hope.

Hmm... I hope this is just for fun.

Unfortunately, Shizuka Marikawa shattered her illusions.

"Yes, I am a teacher."

As Kirisu Mafuyu was sunk again, a thought suddenly popped into her head: If Shizuka Marikawa can do it, then what about me...? No! Teacher and student are absolutely impossible. I must change this flawed world!

Moved by the atmosphere, Lily sank into the water and then surfaced again next to Medea, secretly asking, "What are you planning to do tonight, Medea?"

"Let's give it to Esdeath tonight."

Medea answered, ignoring Lily's incredulous expression, and quickly took a favorable position towards the Master, "Let Mitsuri continue, I'd really like to know too."

Chapter 312 One Night

"...You must be kidding me."

Lily could hardly believe her ears when Medea said, "Let Esdeath have it tonight." Even Anna, who had been carefully considering the relationships between the parties, was stunned for a moment.

She had originally planned to sneak a bite tonight, but Medea suddenly politely backed down, which made Anna feel that the pleasure of sneaking a bite would be greatly reduced.

Upon seeing Medea approach, Jolyne released Shizuka Marikawa from her arms.

This airhead, whether intentionally or not, kept changing his sitting posture underwater.

"Why?" Jolyne asked. He had also heard Medea and Lily's conversation. Medea blinked and replied with a smile, "Because I think Esdeath won't back down. To avoid putting Master in a difficult position, I can take a step back first."

Jolyne: "..."

Just listen to those kinds of words and leave them at that.

Seeing Jolyne's disbelieving expression, Medea helplessly twitched her ears. "Okay, actually I wanted Esdeath to owe me a favor, so that we could gradually improve our relationship and eventually join forces."

As she spoke, Medea clenched her fists, and Jolyne knew what she was going to do without her saying anything more.

"We must prevent the formation of any factions."

Jolyne bit Medea's ear, her weak point. The sudden attack made her stare at her collar, too afraid to lift her head.

The palace factions and such are just melodramatic plots you'd only see in Qing Dynasty palace dramas.

Jolyne chose to tell Medea explicitly that such a thing was impossible.

"Hmm, let go first."

Medea felt her ears burning and couldn't understand what Jolyne was saying. For elves, long, pointed ears are a very sensitive weakness.

Both reasons Jolyne gave were just excuses. Medea's real thought was actually quite simple: she simply had the idea of ​​changing herself.

Having met Saeko Busujima, Mitsuri Kanroji, and Shizuka Marikawa, Medea lay quietly in the hot spring watching Jolyne and these girls laugh and joke, and suddenly realized that her personality wasn't quite as endearing to them.

I already knew that before...

Even though she had already accepted the existence of these "partners" when she was pursuing her master, Medea still sometimes had the idea of ​​monopolizing Jolyne.

And she knew without a doubt that this outcome would eventually lead her into a troublesome dead end.

"Why do you have to save me?"

Medea recalled waking up during the time stop and seeing Jolyne covered in injuries.

In that instant, her burning love-struck mind made her forget that not long ago she had been scorning Jolyne for having so many lovers. Medea only knew that her heart was pounding so hard it made her blush.

"Of course you should always protect... me."

Medea thought about it seriously, and then her eyes became increasingly drawn to the sensation of the elf ears being touched.

"...What if I suddenly have a change of heart? I should have waited until tomorrow, Esdeath."

Jolyne: "..."

The atmosphere on Jolyne's side is gradually changing.

The casual conversation in the hot spring didn't last long, as the tenants had already left.

The topic is about the past.

It was impossible for her to say, as Jolyne was afraid she would reveal something shameful to her.

Mitsuri Kanroji, who hadn't finished telling her story, was a little unsatisfied. She gestured to the others with her eyes that they could talk about it another time, and then began to regain her interest, rubbing her soft body against Jolyne.

"Mr. Jolyne, Mr. Jolyne..."

Mitsuri Kanroji murmured her name in a cute, kitten-like voice.

"Mitsu, please don't believe Aunt Tsubakihara's stories so easily," Jolyne said helplessly.

Jolyne still doesn't know how to deal with Tsubakihara Mira.

Let's just leave it aside and let nature take its course.

Having spent some time together and further strengthened her bond with Lily and the others, Xu Lun stood up and said, "I'll be leaving now."

Medea had finally agreed to give the night to Esdeath, and before she changed her mind, Jolyne planned to devour Esdeath as soon as possible.

Furthermore, Esdeath did not appear at the hot springs, and Jolyne was also very curious about where she had gone.

Watching Jolyne's retreating figure, Anna, who had always been quiet, also disappeared into the water.

……

Since he needed to find someone, Jolyne directly contacted his little spider.

"Jorogumo, where did Esdeath go?"

"She's fighting me right now."

Jolyne: "Fight?"

The entrance to the Infinite City, which was originally located in the apartment's locker room, has now been moved to a room on the left side of the first floor. This room has only a single floor and can be used for some light training.

Without going through the workshop, Jolyne arrived at this place directly through the gates of the Infinity Castle.

Upon arriving at the Infinity Castle, he saw Esdeath's frost clashing with Jorogumo's spider silk, which was imbued with spatial slashes. Esdeath's chilling aura could even freeze most forms of energy, and Jorogumo, who had been cultivated for the longest time, was not an easy opponent.

Although dreams, curses, and manipulation have little effect on the Ice Demon God blood contained within Esdeath, she still possesses powers such as absorbing energy and manipulating space.

Jolyne observed for a while and confirmed that Esdeath would have little chance of threatening Jorogumo, who possessed immortality, without using Mahapadma.

In a battle of this magnitude, unless it's a true life-or-death struggle, it's difficult to tell who has the upper hand.

"When will this end? If it doesn't work, I'll just go back to Medea..."

Jolyne thought to herself, then called out, "Esdeath, do you want to take a shower?"

The next moment, the frigid Infinite City fell silent.

Esdeath put away her noble chariot, and a smile that she could no longer hide appeared on her face.

"Tonight is just me and Xiaolun..."

Esdeath immediately tried to pull Jolyne away as soon as they reached her side.

As for why it's me tonight, and not Medea?

Esdeath was too lazy to think and refused to engage in internal strife.

In just over ten minutes, Esdeath, having finished her shower at lightning speed, changed into brand new pajamas.

"Master, are you ready?"

"...Shouldn't I be the one asking this question?"

Gazing into Esdeath's icy blue eyes, Jolyne was about to kiss Esdeath's cheek when she realized that she had already taken the initiative as the Ice Queen.

"Esdeath?"

"What's wrong? Hmm... I remember Master really liked it last time."

Esdeath parted her lips slightly, brushed a strand of hair behind her ear, and said strangely, "Now that I'm no longer a Heroic Spirit, it seems I can no longer replenish my mana through this."

Chapter 313 A Quiet Morning

[This chapter has been ordered to be revised. Please forgive any grammatical errors or awkward phrasing.]

[The Non-Human Girl Helper Handbook has collected Esdeath's Love Light]

[You have gained +7 to Constitution]

Esdeath simultaneously gained +7 to Constitution.

"I actually gained seven attribute points..."

Yukino Fuyuki gained 3 attribute points, Jorogumo only gained 5 attribute points, while Esdeath gained an astonishing 7 attribute points.

Jolyne opened the Humanoid Girl Helper Handbook, where Esdeath's stunning artwork was displayed.

Clad in a noble chariot, the Ice Demon God descended from the collapsing sky, her wings transformed into wings. The icy light of Mokhapadma flickered at her fingertips, obscuring half of her face...

Coming to her senses, Jolyne closed the manual and looked at the lazy figure peeking out from under the covers beside her.

Dark blue hair spilled onto the pillow, and her slender arms were crossed in front of her, revealing her fair and delicate back. She looked like she was suffering from cold and needed cupping therapy.

Compared to her usual queen-like demeanor, Esdeath was exceptionally gentle last night.

"Esdeath?"

After glancing at the time, Jolyne called out to her.

Esdeath did not respond to being woken up, indicating that she wanted to stay in bed longer.

"...I saw you were awake."

Jolyne kissed her cheek and then reached out to explore the props she deserved.

Jolyne retrieved a ball of light, which was the gift from the Human-Woman Mutual Aid Manual.

[You have obtained the item - Esdeath's Love Ice Crystal]

Item - Esdeath's Love Ice Crystal

Description: Perhaps you can use it to absorb a strange fire in the world of Qi-transformed horses.

Effect: Esdeath's Love Ice Crystals can freeze any form of fire once.

Usage conditions: Hmm... in any form, even the anger in one's heart is a flame.

Are all the gifts produced in the "Humanoid Girl Mutual Aid Handbook" items of this type?

"They're all special prefixes, so why does that guy from Luoyan City's teachings act like a useless little brat?"

Jolyne put the prop away, changed her clothes, and left the bedroom.

He still had a lot to do, and he got up so late just to spend more time with Esdeath.

Under their design, a carpet with a cute laurel dog pattern was laid in the second-floor inner hall, where Kanroji Mitsuri and the others were watching a TV series.

The story seems to revolve around a prince from the Ming Dynasty who falls in love with an ordinary woman, then conceals his true identity, engaging in various displays of bravado, face-slapping moments, and sweet romances...

Although the identities seem strange, the plot is really fun and funny.

But the Ming Dynasty hasn't fallen yet, and Xu Lun is quite curious whether people who make this kind of TV series will really be given a one-way ticket to the two capitals.

"Master, please use it."

As soon as they appeared, a human-faced dog dressed as a maid wagged its tail and brought over milk and biscuits.

Apart from the tail wagging a bit too much, it can be considered that she has mastered etiquette quite well.
