Chapter 785: The Beginning of the Night

In the blink of an eye, Xia Duo and Niya crossed the long distance, returning directly from Seventon in the north to the Tower of Time in Nan Jing.

Just after stepping out of the Teleportation Room, the two stopped in unison and spoke almost simultaneously, though Niya hesitated slightly: "You—"

"I'll go to the Magic Technician Office to take a look first."

Xia Duo was indeed concerned about the production of the Communication Magic Tool; he hadn't realized what Niya wanted to say at first, but only reacted in hindsight when he saw Niya reveal a shy expression again.

Previously in Seventon, the two had been living together, so they were somewhat mentally prepared for what happens between a husband and wife.

It was just that considering they were on someone else's turf, nothing had actually happened between them, but back at the Tower of Time, the situation was different.

Perhaps Niya already had a premonition, and having realized this, how could Xia Duo continue to the Magic Technician Office now! "I remembered, Tilake is leading the production of the Communication Magic Tools at the Magic Technician Office, so there won't be any problems for the time being. We just returned from Seventon, I think we should go rest early, what do you think?"

Saying that, Xia Duo didn't give Niya a chance to speak at all; he stepped forward, pressing almost against her body, and lowered his head to gaze at her.

In the quiet corridor outside the Teleportation Room, the two looked at each other, their slightly rapid and disordered breathing intertwined, and time seemed to stop its flow at this moment.

At this time, Xia Duo suddenly reached out and wrapped his arm around Niya's lower back, and the fact that Niya's Mage Robe did not trigger a Protective Field was enough to show her attitude.

Then, Xia Duo summoned the Tower Spirit: "Teleport to Private Residence 012."

The so-called "Private Residence 012" was actually the residence Niya had before inheriting the Tower of Time, and of course, it was also her residence after inheriting the Tower of Time.

Since the Lord of Epps had only been placed into the Stasis Chamber and had not truly died—though his state was not much different from being dead—

Niya still kept her father's bedroom on the top floor, only using facilities like the Study and Laboratory, which were of a higher standard than her original ones.

At this time, inside the bedroom of Private Residence 021.

Xia Duo had already released his hand from Niya's lower back, and he curiously examined this bedroom that clearly possessed an Elf style.

Although he had been to Niya's residence many times before, each time it was either in the Reception Room, the Laboratory, or the Study or storage room; he had never entered Niya's bedroom before!

This bedroom was not large, similar in size to Xia Duo's bedroom in the Tower of Time, only having one more bookshelf placed on the left side of the bed, which was filled with books.

However, in terms of specific decoration, this bedroom was much more exquisite than his; all four walls had light green leaf textures, and the ceiling was a painting of flowers and the starry sky together.

The floor was covered with a layer of light gray silver-patterned flooring that clearly radiated a slight warmth, which seemed somewhat redundant in the temperature-controlled Mage Tower, but it made this place appear even more unique.

As for the other decorations, they were also very carefully chosen, seemingly specially designed by a highly skilled designer, giving the whole place an elegant and fresh feeling.

After observing for a short while, Xia Duo felt his previously agitated mood calm down a lot.

Looking at Niya again, she had been at a loss at first, but after arriving here, she had also become calm, her eyes looking at Xia Duo bright and filled with smiles.

Just when Xia Duo didn't know how to start, Niya suddenly took off her Mage Robe, revealing the light green silk undergarment inside.

The image of a young girl was displayed before Xia Duo: short black hair, soft features, and a petite figure, especially those bright and lively eyes, like autumn water, making it difficult to escape.

Xia Duo had seen this scene a few days ago, but being in the Tower of Time now, such a picture had even more impact.

The mood that had mostly calmed down was agitated again; he walked slowly toward Niya, two steps, three steps, and the Mage Robe on his body had already been shed.

Unlike Niya's silk undergarment, Xia Duo was still wearing the most ordinary linen undergarment inside, though Niya had also known about this situation a few days ago.

At this time, besides pursing her lips slightly to giggle, she just looked straight at her husband with her shy face tilted slightly upward.

Taking the final step forward, Xia Duo took Niya's hand and pulled her into his embrace; at this time, the two no longer had the obstruction of the Element Balance Field attached to their Mage Robes, and they could even feel each other's burning bodies and hot hearts.

At this moment, words seemed to have become redundant, but Xia Duo still spared a bit of his mind to say, "Niya—"

"Hmm?"

"Niya?"

"Hmm!"

"Niya!"

"Hmm—"

The next day at noon, Xia Duo woke up early. After finishing his Meditation Training, he looked at Niya again. Usually, not to mention that it was already near noon, even if he looked at Niya for a few more seconds, she would wake up quickly; as for pretending to sleep, that was another matter.

However, today, Niya did not wake up even after being watched by Xia Duo for a long time. Xia Duo felt secretly proud in his heart; he didn't expect Bloodline Awakening to have such benefits in this regard.

However, Niya was exhausted, and Xia Duo felt a bit of heartache. He quickly climbed out of bed, walked to the General Laboratory outside, and directly used the Alchemy Array there to start preparing breakfast.

Cooking utensils were always kept in his Personal Space, and there was no shortage of seasonings; basically, everything he could collect, he had collected.

As for ingredients, he only had dry rations, air-dried salted meat, and other easily preserved materials, but what was missing could be taken directly from the kitchen on the first floor of the Tower of Time, which was no trouble at all.

Thus, Xia Duo simply made a salt-and-pepper venison omelet and some oatmeal.

Perhaps the fragrance drifted into the bedroom, or perhaps Niya woke up hungry; just after Xia Duo had the breakfast ready, Niya walked out of the bedroom, her hair a bit messy.

Seeing Xia Duo, a flush immediately appeared on her face, but she then forced herself to be calm and said, "Did you prepare breakfast for me?"

"Hmm!"

Xia Duo smiled slightly and handed the breakfast in his hand over. He reckoned that Niya probably needed a little time alone to do some mental preparation for herself, so he said, "You eat breakfast first, I'll go to the Magic Technician Office to take a look."

"Then what about your own breakfast?"

"Don't worry, I made all this breakfast, could I possibly let myself go hungry?"

Xia Duo had prepared an egg pancake for himself, though there was no porridge; he didn't really like drinking oatmeal, so drinking some fruit wine was fine, there was no need to make things too difficult for himself.

The two agreed to have lunch together at noon, after which Xia Duo left Niya's residence.
