It has to be said that instinct is a bit hard to overcome. Ye Xiao himself has a clone of a silver-haired beauty, but that didn't stop him from getting a zero score in this "Don't Look" challenge.

Compared to the shy and reserved elegance of a certain person, the little maid's proud and unyielding demeanor truly commands a panoramic view of all the mountains.

Hey! What are you looking at, you idiot!

Greta blushed and couldn't help but reach out her small hand to gently nudge Ye Xiao's arm before covering her neckline.

However, the tiny hand, with its five fingers spread out like a white mangosteen, couldn't cover it completely.

Although she expressed her disdain verbally, she didn't move away; instead, she moved even closer, intentionally or unintentionally.

The girl's plump thighs were wrapped in white stockings, like soft, sticky ice cream. She rubbed against Ye Xiao's hand, which was resting on the edge of the bed, with a mixture of obedience and nervousness.

"Are you an idiot! A week has already passed!"

Seeing Ye Xiao still standing there like a wooden statue, the little maid finally couldn't help but say angrily, "I was busy with things before, so I didn't pursue the matter. Now that I finally have some free time, if you dare to forget me, I won't let you off the hook!!"

Ye Xiao suddenly realized that he and Greta did indeed have an agreement.

Before leaving for the Royal City of Loren, at the Duke's family banquet, it seemed that it was agreed that it would be the little guy's turn.

However, due to the subsequent pursuit of the Holy Grail and the sea voyage, I didn't have much free time.

I didn't expect the little maid to be in such a hurry.

"Hmph, do you remember now?"

"Cough cough, oh dear, how could I possibly forget something like this?"

Ye Xiao quickly patted the other's fluffy head to comfort him, "I was originally planning to go on a date with you for a day after I got back to the city."

The little maid wrapped her arms around Ye Xiao's neck, and with a quick bite, she unbuttoned her shirt. "Hmph, I want it on the date! I want it now too!"

Chapter Twenty-Five: The Night Is Beautiful

Ye Xiao swallowed lightly, her Adam's apple bobbing slightly, then smiled gently, "Alright, alright, whatever you say, my lady."

Greta's pink lips curved into a smile as she arched her back, like a lazy cat stretching on the edge of a bed, and pushed against Ye Xiao's chest with her tiny front paws.

She stuck out her tongue and licked the corner of her mouth, the blush on her face making her already fair skin look even more delicate and alluring.

"Hmph, just be obedient, dear master."

Following Greta's movements, a deep red magic circle lit up by the window, and an invisible gravity spell drew the curtains shut.

The girl lowered her delicate face, close to Ye Xiao's, her large, almond-shaped eyes reflecting the moonlight filtering through the gaps in the curtain, sparkling brightly.

Feeling the other person's warm breath on the tip of his nose, the ends of their hair brushing against his neck, a slightly itchy and tingling sensation, Ye Xiao gently stroked the other person's smooth and rounded cheek with his right hand, the cool and soft touch coming from his fingertips, as if he were holding a piece of cake.

Although she had rubbed Greta's fluffy cheeks in her kitten form many times before, this was the first time she had been so intimately stroked as a young girl.

Greta's small face could almost be half-covered by that hand. She smiled playfully, looking at Ye Xiaoling's eyes beneath her messy bangs, her mouth slightly open.

"Oh dear, what rough hands."

Warm breaths gently fell on Ye Xiao's face as her lips parted and closed, and Ye Xiao pouted her little face, "There's nothing I can do, that's how adventurers are."

"Humph--"

As Greta said this, her face gently rubbed against his palm, her eyes slightly narrowed, letting her soft hair cover them. "But it's okay, I like it."

With soft whispers, the little maid approached silently, her petite figure like a light feather landing in Ye Xiao's arms. A warm and subtle touch, as if embracing a ray of dawn, brought a blush to the girl's face, like cherry blossoms in their first bloom. In the tranquil night, she nestled quietly against him, her figure's curves outlined in the hazy light and shadow. Her slender fingers gently stroked Ye Xiao's neck, her voice as soft as a wind chime: "Master, it's time to share our joy."

Hey, what a little glutton!

Ye Xiao didn't know which strange comic book this little guy had seen this in, but he could no longer suppress his feelings for her.

So he gently lifted the girl's cheeks with both hands, as if holding a pool of clear spring water, their eyes met, conveying a silent tenderness.

A refreshing fragrance wafted over her nose, and the girl's flowing black hair, like willow branches by a stream, gently encircled Ye Xiao's face, bringing a sense of coolness and tranquility. Beneath her black and white skirt, the girl's legs trembled slightly, her small toes tracing graceful arcs in the air, revealing a heart filled with both anticipation and shyness.

Through the thin fabric of his clothes, she could feel the warmth emanating from him—a reassuring strength. She breathed softly, a little nervous, her small hand nestled on the back of his, seemingly guiding him in unspoken understanding.

As her clothes loosened and fell away, the girl's fragrant shoulders were revealed, and her skin shimmered faintly in the moonlight, like the purest star in the night sky.

He kissed her.

……

"Woo..."

Even as the oldest demon god, Gretia's usually proud face showed a shy expression here.

A gentle breath, like orchids, brushed against Ye Xiao's earlobe. The girl seemed to grit her teeth and hold back, but in the end, she couldn't help but let out a melodious warbling.

Snow-white pantyhose wrapped around her knees, like a thin veil draped over the dark night, her stubborn calves, like ice cream cones, bent up and inadvertently tapped against the edge of the bed.

Ye Xiao stroked the girl's head, feeling the smoothness of her hair slipping through his fingers, and gently bit the girl's soft nose with a mischievous smile, "You little rascal, you still want to be on top with this level of skill."

Greta was actually quite persistent, but you have to understand, Ye Xiao is a man who has experienced hellish rally races!

"Humph!"

Greta nodded shyly, burying her head in Ye Xiao's chest, nuzzling against his chest while making low purring sounds like a cat.

Her coquettish manner was so endearing that Ye Xiao hugged her even tighter, unable to resist pulling her into his arms.

He gently stroked her smooth, curved neck and shoulders, glancing out of the corner of his eye at the half-drawn curtains of the window. "Are you cold?"

"...Idiot, I'm a god, how could I be cold?"

Greta's soft voice escaped, but she still managed to hook the blanket next to her with her toes and cover her back.

"Hey, didn't you say you weren't cold?"

Ye Xiao said softly, feeling the weight and warmth of the blanket pressing against his upper body, while the girl's small body pressed even more tightly against him.

"But I'm afraid you'll be cold."

As Greta spoke, she slowly raised her head, her flushed face breaking into a blissful smile. "And I always feel that this way I can be closer to you."

Just like countless days and nights before, as a cat, nestled against Ye Xiao's chest in that thick coat, Greta still cherished that warmth even after becoming a young girl.

Because beautiful moments always linger, the girl in his arms longed to stay in this strong and warm embrace every day and night in the future.

……

The wonderful night passed quickly, and the next day arrived.

Perhaps she had gotten a taste for it, because Gladys didn't turn back into a cat. Instead, she remained in her girl form and had Ye Xiao help her wash up and get dressed.

Since he could summon water with magic, Ye Xiao skipped the step of going to the washroom. He waved his wand and summoned some floating bubbles in the air, then held the girl on his lap and used a sheepskin towel to wipe her body.

After wiping her body, Greta, who was usually lazy and would weave clothes directly with magic, insisted that Ye Xiao help her dress since Ye Xiao was there.

"You rascal, this is the first time I've ever seen a master help a maid get dressed."

Ye Xiao slipped the silk stockings onto Greta's delicate toes, then slid them up her full calves, teasingly remarking.

"Hmph, that's why I'm the 'maid'!"

The little guy puffed out his chest, seemingly proud of it.

Ye Xiao then grasped the girl's ankle, pressing his thumb twice on her fair and rosy little foot through the snow-white silk. The girl immediately kicked her little feet and fell into Ye Xiao's arms, crying out, "Ah, what are you doing! It tickles!"

"This is punishment for the disobedient maid who disobeys her master!"

With a wicked grin, Ye Xiao grabbed the maid who was only half-dressed and pounced on the headboard, teasing her amidst her startled screams.

If Ella's charm is irresistible, then the petite Greta is like a restless kitten, always making you want to wrap her up and play with her.

So after the tenderness of last night, Ye Xiao was obviously much more unrestrained, and then he paid the price for it - the little maid bit his face and left it with teeth marks.

After a bit of commotion, until Greta blushed again, the two finally dressed properly and opened the door.

Chapter Twenty-Six: The Disturbance

In the corridor, the black dog was already squatting there, holding Agnes's leash in its mouth, looking at Ye Xiao with disdain.

"What's wrong? Didn't you sleep well last night?"

Seeing that the other person was squinting, Ye Xiao asked curiously.

"Human, don't you know this room is poorly soundproofed?"

Ye Xiao almost choked on her own saliva. She covered her mouth with her fist and coughed lightly twice. "This... um... I'm sorry, I really didn't notice."

Oh no, he forgot whether he had set up a soundproofing array last night.

"What? Are you envious?"

Greta, however, crossed her arms and looked down at the black dog with an arrogant expression.

"Are you an idiot? Who would envy something like that!"

"Hey, Ye Xiao, look at this guy, he looks like a dog."

"You stupid demon god!!!"

The black dog immediately got angry and started arguing with Greta.

"Eh?"

Their commotion attracted the attention of the other residents downstairs. Chesia and Xiaozao came up the steps and saw Greta making faces at the barking black dog. They were quite curious. "Mr. Ye, this maid is so cute. When did she join us?"

Ye Xiao turned his head and saw that Checia and the others still looked innocent, and he breathed a slight sigh of relief.

It seems the poor soundproofing only affects the room next door; the others are unaware of it.

"Indeed, this is my companion... By the way, you should be heading back to the city this morning, right?"

His change of topic was a bit abrupt, but fortunately, Chesia didn't dwell on Greta's origins anymore. Instead, she immediately considered Ye Xiao's next words and nodded, "Yes, you're still heading west, right? I asked the village chief yesterday, and he promised to help find a villager as a guide."

"Thank you very much."

Ye Xiao smiled.

"Be careful, meow, on the road."

Xiao Zao, holding a large loaf of bread, nodded to Ye Xiao as well.

While the two were talking, Chloe and her maid Fisher finally finished getting ready and came out of the room in the downstairs hall.

Chloe, who was more perceptive in the team, was surprised to see a pink-haired maid next to Ye Xiao as he came down from upstairs. However, considering that the two would soon go their separate ways, she didn't ask too many questions.

Meanwhile, the village chief led the villagers who had brought breakfast into the house and laid out a sumptuous feast on the long table.

Before long, everyone finished breakfast, packed their bags, and headed down the mountain.

"My lord, I have a request. May I go back with them?"

On the way, Big Tooth asked Ye Xiao tremblingly, "I'm not very familiar with the terrain on the west side of the island, and there's nothing I can do to help. Staying here would only be a burden to you, so why don't you let me go back first?"

As Ye Xiao looked at Big Tooth Brother's earnest expression and was stroking his chin in thought, a deafening roar suddenly rang out.

The earth trembled at the sound, and he, standing on the hilltop, suddenly saw a plume of black smoke rising abruptly above the dense forest in the distance.

"what is that?"

Ye Xiao asked Tuolin, a villager who was accompanying them down the mountain, with curiosity.

"It could be a signal from a village attacked by pirates."

Torin placed a hand on his forehead and gazed into the distance. "I remember that direction being... Damn it, what's that thing??"

This time, no one answered the exclamation.

Everyone could clearly see that in the distant mountains and forests, a dark and enormous tentacle rose into the sky, as if a monster hidden in the earth's crust was revealing the tip of its iceberg, transforming into a towering mountain that crashed down.

Even though they were far away, everyone could feel the tremors coming from afar beneath their feet.

Then, countless golden specks of light poured up from below the giant tentacle, striking its massive shell and exploding into blooming golden flowers.

"Holy Light?"

Ye Xiao and Chloe, who was standing next to him, spoke almost in unison.

They turned to look at each other, and then Torin, with a furrowed brow, said, "I heard a fleet of ships from the Holy See entered the port a couple of days ago. Could it be them?"

"The number of those holy arrows was very dense; at least one team was fighting that giant tentacle."

Ye Xiao made his judgment.
