A mage's journey begins with a battle mage.

Chapter 491 Sparring for One Night

I don't believe it.

After struggling for a while, Renodia could only manage to utter this one sentence.

"You must have some secret technique that allows you to sense things, right?"

As Jiang Shuzhou reviewed the extermination order, he asked a question.

"have."

"Then let's give it a try."

After saying that, Jiang Shuzhou ignored Renodia; he still had a ton of documents to review.

Seeing this, Renotia knew she had to take the initiative.

Give me your blood.

"no."

"Body fluids are fine too."

"Take it yourself."

And so the situation remained deadlocked.

Renodia didn't want to take anything further, but Jiang Shuzhou wasn't in a hurry.

Grace, who was standing to the side, would occasionally hand Jiang Shuzhou stacks of documents, all of which were for Jiang Shuzhou to handle.

All matters are important, there are no trivial matters. Minor matters are handled by others, and Jiang Shuzhou can simply review them casually, making it completely paperless. However, this is not the case for important matters.

After all, without Jiang Shuzhou's own mage's seal, this document is invalid.

And so, time passed little by little.

As a legend, Jiang Shuzhou was extremely fast at reviewing documents, and quickly completed the work for the next five years, as well as the formulation of various contingency plans.

As long as there are no unexpected events, Jiang Shuzhou doesn't need to worry about the rest.

"Lower your head."

Renodia, in her arms, gave in.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shuzhou lowered his head, and then Renotia kissed him.

Grace, watching from behind, couldn't help but roll her eyes.

Offering a kiss on his own initiative, Master, you really know how to play the game!

The suspension bridge effect and Stockholm syndrome are at their peak.

"Phew, is this your first kiss?"

Renodia's eyes were glazed over. She had just confirmed that, as Jiang Shuzhou had said, they were indeed not reproductively isolated, which meant that she had indeed found her other half.

"And you?"

Jiang Shuzhou asked, and he always answered such questions with questions.

"I am."

"You took what I had for me today."

Jiang Shuzhou said in a very scumbag way.

Can this thing be refreshed daily?

"Then you should..."

Just as Renotia was about to ask a question, clinging to her fantasy, Grace interrupted her.

"Don't make your sister laugh. Master gave me his first time. I'm the rightful wife."

"..."

Now Renotia is truly speechless.

"It's no big deal. I still have what I had today, so I do have it."

"and you……"

"Unfortunately, I can only book for you the day after tomorrow at the latest, because I have something to do today."

After saying that, Jiang Shuzhou picked up Renodia, teleported her back to his room.

Taming Renodia didn't take Jiang Shuzhou long.

"Grace, you go and watch over her. I'm going to keep Chahara company. You keep working on it."

After saying that, Jiang Shuzhou left.

"Master, do you still stand by what you said earlier about letting me go with Chahara?"

Before leaving, Grace asked.

"She's a young girl, she's easily embarrassed, so have some self-respect and leave her with some good memories."

Jiang Shuzhou naturally wouldn't allow it. Fighting two at once would be too much of a waste of his time. If it were just Chahara, he could easily suppress him. But with Grace added to the mix, they wouldn't be able to leave the house for at least a month.

Immediately afterwards, Grace watched helplessly as Chahara wagged her tail and entered her and Jiang Shuzhou's room.

"Bang."

Once the door was closed, Grace's senses were blocked.

"Senior Grace, where's the professor?"

Denoz, whom we hadn't seen for a long time, rushed over at this time.

"Master is busy and doesn't have time."

Looking at Denozzi, Grace finally felt a little better.

She then handed Denozie a document containing a spatial ring.

"This spatial ring is a gift from your master; it contains documents he needs to process."

Just as Denozie took the ring and was about to leave, Grace called her back.

"These are gifts from your master's wife. Cultivate well, and you will also be able to eat."

After saying that, Grace gave Denozchi a large amount of resources for cultivation.

"Need to eat? What should we eat?"

Denozzi was somewhat puzzled.

"It's nothing, go and cultivate."

Forcing herself not to laugh, Grace saw Denozie off immediately.

In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art.

inside the room.

"Forehead……"

For once, Jiang Shuzhou got stuck.

Chahara has always existed as Jiang Shuzhou's shadow. In most cases, Chahara is hidden in his shadow and has never left.

Even when conducting experiments, the only exception is when Jiang Shuzhou and Grace are sleeping. At that time, Jiang Shuzhou will have Chahara stand guard outside the door until the experiment is finished.

In fact, among all the women Jiang Shuzhou knew, Chahara was the first, but Jiang Shuzhou never paid much attention to her and basically used her as a tool.

"Master, you don't need to say anything more, just treat me like a toy."

Chahara snuggled directly into Jiang Shuzhou's arms, acting as a body pillow.

Once again, Jiang Shuzhou scrutinized Chahara.

It's no longer about looking at a sharp dagger, no longer about using it as a tool, but about looking at a woman.

"It has to be me, I can always make the best ones."

Jiang Shuzhou couldn't help but admire his own skills.

Animal ears, white hair, heterochromatic eyes, a well-proportioned body without an ounce of excess fat, rounded thighs, and skin as smooth as cream—it perfectly matched Jiang Shuzhou's aesthetic sense, after all, he sculpted it himself.

Since Chahara himself said he didn't care, Jiang Shuzhou naturally didn't hold back either.

"war!"

What else can be said but to fight to the very last moment?

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Shuzhou used his incredibly skilled dagger to challenge Chahara to a duel.

Chahara agreed without hesitation.

Immediately afterwards, a fierce and intense sparring match began.

Although Chahara was a master assassin, she was still somewhat overwhelmed by Jiang Shuzhou's attacks due to her lack of experience.

The fierce attack lasted all night, and in the end, it ended in a crushing defeat for Chahara.

"It doesn't seem like she lasted as long as Grace."

Cover Chahara with a blanket so that this dutiful guard could rest for a while, since sparring is quite physically demanding.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Shuzhou got out of bed and opened the door.

"Master, you haven't rested?"

Then he saw Grace, who was extremely anxious.

"What's wrong? What's the matter?"

Having just finished sparring with Chahara, Jiang Shuzhou was tired, but he already had a wealth of combat experience, so he did not choose to rest with her.

Seeing Grace's anxious expression, Jiang Shuzhou thought something serious had happened.

"It's nothing, I just want to have a sparring session too."

"..."

"We'll talk about it later."

Having just finished the battle, Jiang Shuzhou didn't want to succumb to despair; he still needed to conduct his research.

"What a jerk, he's forgotten his old love now that he has a new one."

Jiang Shuzhou was greeted by Grace's resentful gaze.

With a raised eyebrow, Jiang Shuzhou tapped Grace's head hard with his knuckles.

"If we're talking about new love, aren't you my new love? You know, Chahara was the first woman I ever got involved with."

"It seems that's really the case?"

After thinking about it, Grace realized that Jiang Shuzhou was right, and she immediately became obedient.

"Master, you can't show favoritism; otherwise, the harem will be disharmonious!"

"Stop interrupting, come on, let's discuss this."

Rolling his eyes, Jiang Shuzhou dragged Grace off to do research.

When a child is being dramatic, it's usually because they don't have enough to do. Just do more research and fill their time completely, and they won't have time to be dramatic.
