"Whatever! Aren't there three bedrooms here? They're all pretty much the same, so just sleep in any one of them."
Xilin wasn't very particular and spoke casually to Bella.
Bella didn't quite agree. She put her hands on the queen's shoulders, looking very serious.
"My Queen, I don't quite agree with your point of view. No matter which one you choose, it means that the other two will be empty and no one will live in them. So I think you need to choose the largest one, especially the one with the largest bed."
Bella's serious expression made Xilin feel a little uncomfortable, but she quickly reacted.
"Bella, what did you just say? Why are there two empty rooms? Can't you and I each have one?"
Xilin immediately grasped the key point. It seemed that Bella wanted to live with her.
After hearing this, Bella's face didn't turn red, her heart didn't beat fast, and her expression was very calm.
"As your follower, I think it is necessary for me to protect you, Your Majesty. According to the current situation, it is the best option for me to live with you and provide close protection."
As the saying goes, as long as you are not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed. At this moment, Bella clearly understood the essence of this sentence.
Her face was full of righteousness, without any trace of selfish desire. Her serious expression even made Xilin suspect that he had seen it wrong.
However, when she thought about what Bella had done to her in the past two days, she immediately reaffirmed her thoughts.
"No! Absolutely not! Bella sleeps alone!"
Xilin spoke these resolute words without hesitation. If it was Bella before she went to the ruins, Xilin could still let her sleep with him. But if it was Bella now, it was obvious that she had been completely corrupted by the magician's uncle...
Bella didn't expect that her queen would refuse so firmly.
No matter how pitiful she pretended to be or how she pressured him from the perspective of justice, the Queen refused to give in and agreed to let her sleep with her. After several requests, Bella finally understood what the Queen was thinking.
Gritting her teeth, she could only reluctantly give up... and seek the Queen's opinion.
Even though Her Majesty the Queen disagrees, as long as she goes there secretly at night, can Her Majesty the Queen still beat her out?
So the day passed like this.
Night has already fallen and it is time to go to bed.
Xilin was still worried, so he watched Bella enter her own bedroom. Only when he saw the light in Bella's bedroom turned off did he leave with peace of mind and return to his own bedroom.
He threw himself heavily onto the bed. This was the first time Xilin slept on a soft big bed since he came into this world.
Maybe the bed was too soft, or maybe Xilin was too tired, and soon she fell asleep completely.
On a quiet night, the peaceful sleeping face of the white-haired girl on the bed and the surrounding scenery form a beautiful painting.
Everything is silent and peaceful.
The scene shifts to Bella's bedroom. The lights are off and Bella is tossing and turning in bed, unable to fall asleep.
From time to time, she looked at the electronic clock on the bedside and calculated the time.
Finally, when the clock struck 12 o'clock, Bella jumped out of bed, put on her slippers, and went to the Queen's room.
Standing on tiptoe, quietly and cautiously, the gray-haired girl moved.
Slowly moving to the door of Xilin's bedroom, Bella leaned against the door and carefully turned the doorknob.
Locked?
Bella frowned. It seems that the Queen doesn’t trust me very much!
But, can this stump me?
Bella smiled again, and the power of the Conquering Gem was activated. The entire door was broken down into atoms and completely disappeared.
After breaking down the door, Bella slowly entered the room. Although it was dark, she immediately saw the beautiful sleeping face of the Queen.
Hey~hey~hey~My Queen, here I come~
The gray-haired girl's face flushed and she rushed towards Xilin excitedly.
Chapter 23: After Failure to Pay Insurance Report
In the villa, Xilin sat at the window, looking at the scenery in the distance, feeling very bored.
It had been a year since Bella had first sneaked into her bedroom at night and she had kicked her out. During this year, Bella had been diligent and insisted on sneaking into her room every night.
Every night, Xilin watched Bella enter her own bedroom, then returned to her room and went to sleep. At about midnight, the biological clock would ring on time, urging Xilin to open his eyes, kick to the left habitually, turn on the light, pick up Bella who was rolling on the ground with an expressionless face, walk through the door frame without a door leaf, and throw her back into her bedroom.
There was no other way, this was all forced by the situation. If she didn't do the above, Bella would do whatever she wanted to her, making Xilin restless all night.
For this purpose, Dem Company has reached a long-term cooperation with a local door lock company.
Every morning, a truck carrying door panels would enter the manor. The door replacer would stare at Xilin with strange eyes, skillfully install her bedroom door, and then drive away.
This morning, the door replacement master came to the manor skillfully as usual, unloaded the door from the car, and moved it to the door of the villa.
Boom!Boom!Boom!
With a creak, the door opened.
Xilin, who had already put on his clothes, came to the door with dark circles under his eyes.
"Xiao Xilin! Good morning! It's time. I'm here to change the door today!"
The door-changing master seemed to be very skilled and greeted Xilin enthusiastically.
Xilin seemed a little exhausted. The fatigue from a sleepless night made her squinting and yawning.
"Master, there is no need to change the door today. The door is not broken..."
When the master who replaced the door heard this, he obviously didn't believe it.
"Xiao Xilin! We have known each other for such a long time. Don't I know that a door in your house breaks every day? Besides, DEM Club is not unwilling to pay us. Are you afraid of bothering us?"
Knocking on the door panel in his hand, the door-changing master looked inside the villa.
Xilin had no choice but to move half of his body aside to let the door-changing master go in and take a look.
The door replacement master skillfully moved the door panel in and placed it next to Xilin's bedroom.
"This door... is actually not broken? What's going on?"
The door-changing master was a little surprised and looked at Xilin with a curious look.
"Nothing, I just gave in..."
Xilin, who was harassed by Bella all night last night, said something that puzzled the door changer.
"Well! If the door is fine, wouldn't that be better?"
Although the door changer's tone sounded a bit regretful, he still sincerely wished Xilin the best.
As the truck drove away, Xilin sent the door changer away. But less than a minute later, she welcomed Ariel's arrival.
It seemed that the last time she dealt with Xilin's matter, she had arranged it very well, allowing Westcott to see her ability. It could also be that Ariel herself was one of the founding ministers of Dem Society. In just one year, she was promoted step by step and became the manager of the human resources department.
As Dem's display device patent is applied for and mass-produced, the advantages of this future upstart company in medical and combat aspects are gradually revealed.
Countless financial groups seized the opportunity and invested in it. This also allowed Dem to enter a period of rapid development. The high production and sales volume brought huge profits. The salaries of the employees also rose, and each of them made a lot of money, and Ariel, as the manager of the human resources department, was even more so.
Today, she has also bought a villa in the suburbs of London, England. After all, who could have expected that a company she randomly applied for after graduation would have such great development potential?
Ariel rushed into Xilin's house, picked up the teapot, poured a glass of water, and started drinking without the owner's consent.
"Insurance companies nowadays are really desperate to make money. I just bought a villa, and they actually asked me if I wanted to buy some kind of space earthquake insurance? Please, how many times does a space earthquake happen in a month? The damage each time is only so small. I'm afraid I have some serious illness if I pay for this insurance!"
After drinking the water, Ariel, who had just caught her breath, began to complain to Xilin.
After a year of communication and interaction, the two have obviously become much more familiar with each other.
"I think you'd better hand one in. I did anyway."
Xilin didn't care and waved his hand at Ariel.
"Tsk! Of course you are just saying that. After all, this is paid by the company, and the company can't reimburse me for the villa I bought."
After hearing what Xilin said, Ariel looked disdainful.
"It's fine if you don't want to hand it over, but is this what you came here to tell me?"
Xilin looked at Ariel with suspicion. If that was the case, the other party could really do it.
"Of course not! The company seems to have a project today that requires your participation. It seems to be something about separating soul crystals? I don't understand it either. After all, you are a professional."
Ariel, who had not yet fully entered the core of Dem Society, shook her head, looking very confused.
Hearing this, Xilin's heart was excited. After waiting for a whole year, did Westcott finally learn the elf spell?
Seeing Xilin's excitement, Ariel became even more curious.
"Is this a scientific researcher? You're so excited when you hear about the project launch. You're really dedicated! No wonder the company gave you a big villa~"
Ariel nudged Xilin with her elbow and teased with a sly smile.
Knowing that Westcott had not yet revealed the secret of the elves within the company, Xilin was reluctant to tell him anything.
"Of course! Maybe after completing this project, I can make as much money as you will make in the next few years~"
There was no way to tell the other party the core secrets, so Xilin had to fight back against the other party with money, which was what the other party valued most.
"Depend on!"
It seemed that Ariel had not expected Xilin to fight back against her like this, and she swore in anger.
Noticing that Ariel seemed a little angry, Xilin had to stop quickly.
"Just kidding, just kidding, I'll be there right away."
"Bella!"
As Xilin shouted, Bella, who was lying on Xilin's bed and sniffing Xilin's scent, opened her eyes.
It seemed like the Queen was calling her just now?
After confirming this, Bella rolled over from the center of Xilin's bed to the edge of the bed, put her feet into the slippers under the bed, and stood up.
Bella spent the whole night with the Queen, and today she is full of energy!
Opening the door of the first Xilin bedroom where she had lived for two days, Bella walked out.
Chapter 24 After Separating the Spirit Crystal
"Good morning, Queen."
Bella looked full of energy and didn't look like she hadn't slept all night.
When Xilin saw Bella's lively appearance, he just felt powerless, as if he had punched cotton.
"...Let's go, Bella. Today is the day to separate the soul crystals."
After hesitating for a long time, a word finally came out of Xilin's mouth.
Seeing that they were both ready, Ariel pulled the car keys from her pocket and twirled them in her hand casually.
"I'll take you there!"
Xilin was a little surprised. Did Ariel earn so much money in just this year?
"Your salary is so high? You bought a villa and a car?"
He didn't understand why, but seeing the other party's smug look, Xilin asked anyway.
"How is that possible? I bought the car with my own money, and the villa was mainly financed by a loan. After all, I am the HR manager of Dem Company! With our company's current development capabilities, the bank will still approve this loan."
Ariel's words revealed a strong sense of pride as she twirled the car keys in her hand.
"No need to take your car, let me do it."
Xilin shook his head and rejected the other party's proposal.
He walked forward and put his left and right hands on Ariel and Bella's shoulders respectively. After a dizzying moment, the three of them arrived at the gate of DEM headquarters.
"Wow! This is the new technology developed by Dem Company! It's incredible! I wonder if it can be mass-produced in the future and whether we can use it?"
Ariel seemed to have regarded the ability of the Herrscher of the Sky of Xilin as a new technology developed by Dem Company. She had starry eyes and seemed to be imagining how much the company's ranking would rise after this technology was released.
Xilin did not answer immediately, but thought about the ability of Ratatoskr's Vlaxinas aerial battleship to teleport Gokawa Shidao in the future.
These two should be similar, right? Anyway, they can be passed on to others... Dem Company should also have this technology, right?
"It should be applicable, and I believe it will have great prospects."
