"Lord, master? When did you come back......"

Celia's face suddenly turned red, and she hurriedly put the pillow in her hand back in place, and then took the initiative to crawl to the edge of the bed, gently rubbing her head against Sean's palm.

"What's wrong? Don't you welcome me? ”

Sean rubbed her hair and lay down on the bed, he reached out to bring Celia to his side, stroking his cute little maid little by little.

"Huh...... No, I like to stay with the owner, but I was startled by the owner who suddenly appeared. ”

Celia's expression was full of attachment, and she curled up obediently in Sean's arms, whispering.

"Suddenly? No, I just pushed the door open and came in, but you stupidly didn't notice me. ”

Sean chuckled and kneaded her face as if teasing a funny pet.

In fact, he had just done a small experiment with the power of the Hidden Mirror, that is, to test how much of an impact the things covered by the "hidden" would have on the outside world before they would attract the attention of others.

In order to make the test results accurate enough, he suddenly kicked the door open and closed it slowly without notifying Celia in advance, and then walked slowly to her side.

According to Sean's observation, in this series of interventions, the moment the door was kicked open was the moment when Celia reacted the most, but limited by the weak perception of ordinary people, even if the noise was so loud, she only vaguely felt that something was wrong, but she could not find the root cause.

The second is the strong sense of incongruity caused by the continuous open door, but due to the blindness of the spell, she has not been able to find its specific source, until Sean voluntarily closes the door, she returns to normal, and subconsciously ignores this feeling.

As the subject of the spell cover, even in the moment before Sean had a violent effect on Celia, she didn't realize the existence of her master, until Sean's movements woke her up, and she suddenly realized that there was another person in the room, so she mistakenly thought that Sean appeared suddenly.

……

"Is that so?"

Celia tilted her head cutely, and then licked it suddenly while Sean's hand hadn't left her cheek.

"Hmm...... I don't understand, but since the master said so, it must be true......"

A snickering smile appeared on her face, like a rat stealing cheese, basking in the bliss of intimate contact with her master.

"When did it become so clingy, it's really a headache......

Sean laughed and wiped the saliva back from his hand back to Celia's cheek, intending to find a moment to train the little guy who likes to lick around.

But at this moment, he suddenly remembered something, so he immediately reached out a finger to pick Celia's chin, and looked directly at her with his gaze.

……

"Hmph, I almost forgot, there was still an account that I didn't settle with you before, and I almost let you get through the trick just now, which was really a bit careless."

In Celia's dodging eyes, Sean snorted coldly, and directly turned over and pressed Celia on the bed, and looked at her at close range.

Seeing that her master seemed to be angry, Celia's heart instantly became extremely flustered.

Sean's gentleness for so long had gradually immersed her in it, and it was not until she heard her master's words that she suddenly remembered who she was, and at the same time realized the inappropriateness of her previous approach.

So, under Sean's persecutive eyes, Celia's face turned pale little by little, she kneaded the corners of her clothes uneasily, and replied in a trembling voice.

……

"What are you crying about, I don't mean to blame you."

Seeing Celia's appearance, Sean's heart was also a little uncomfortable, he hurriedly turned over on the bed and directly held Celia in his arms.

"Okay, okay, I was just kidding you, how could I really punish you for this kind of thing? Well, as long as you listen to your master, you will never have to worry about being hated. ”

Sean's voice was gentle, like warm sunshine, healing grief.

It's just that when he said this, Celia's cry seemed to get louder, and she lay on Sean like an octopus, refusing to let go.

A moist and cold sensation came from Sean's chest, and he rubbed Celia's head helplessly, soothing her heart a little bit.

……

……

In this way, as time slowly passed, Celia gradually recovered from her previous state, but although the crying stopped, the sobbing sound was still intermittent.

"Don't worry, I won't treat you like that, the master is just joking with you, I didn't expect you to really believe it......"

"It's all my fault for being too real, and I misunderstood you, sorry."

Sean sighed and patted Celia on the back and said helplessly.

It is not known exactly what the little creature had been through, but judging by the urine nature shared by the slave trainees and the slave traders, the process must have been quite unpleasant.

And after so many months of getting along, Sean has gradually developed some feelings for her, not only no longer seeing her as a moving object as he did at the beginning, but even occasionally giving her some rewards to make her happier.

……

"Nope! No! You can't go wrong with the hosts! Please don't apologize......"

Hearing Sean say this, Celia suddenly raised her head and retorted in a low voice.

"You are the only one in Celia's life, and Celia will serve you religiously in everything, you ......"

"Hmm...... Woohoo......"

Celia's face turned red instantly, and she weakly pushed Sean's arm, trying to fend off the aggression from her master.

……

For a long time, the lips parted.

There was still a trace of tears in the corners of Cilia's eyes, but at this time, her heart was no longer sad, but full of unparalleled happiness and satisfaction.

Since birth, she has been a slave, and this self-imposed label has turned her into a selfless object, both physically and mentally controlled, and finally the most desirable of all.

Those who have never seen the light will naturally not be disgusted with darkness.

Celia had never hoped for anything in her heart, she was just numb to carry out orders, numb to obey the commands of any powerful person.

In this way, time passed slowly, and she slowly grew from a young child to the present.

Over the course of so many years, Celia has transformed herself into an almost perfect commodity, and even her mind and personality are in keeping with her status as a slave.

Until one day, she met Sean, the first and only master in her life.

She will never forget every day and night she spent with Sean, and she will never forget every bit of tenderness from her master.

Maybe this gentleness is nothing to Sean herself, but in Celia's eyes, this is what her world is all about.

Just now, she finally knew what she was afraid of.

This kind of thing cannot be seen or touched, but it can bring endless pain to people, and its name is "loss".

She didn't own anything before, and naturally she didn't understand the taste of loss, and Sean's gentleness was like a ray of sunshine, quietly shining into her empty heart.

Maybe she just felt warm at first, but then she slowly immersed herself in this feeling and couldn't extricate herself, but it wasn't until this ray of sunlight was about to disappear that she suddenly realized what a terrible thing it was.

……

"Whew, really, it's not worrying at all, who is the master......"

Sean reached out and rubbed Celia's belly, leaned into her ear and said, "Hungry?" I can't go out to eat so late, do you want me to cook you some porridge? ”

The warm air breeze on Celia's pointed ears made her already strange body even more limp, and after hearing her master say such words, she hurriedly hugged Sean, who wanted to get up.

"Not that hungry yet...... And this kind of thing should be done by me, how can I trouble the master......"

As the anti-probe ritual magic was turned on to the maximum throughout the villa, the unquiet night seemed to become even more noisy.

……

……

……

……

……

Inadvertently, the hands of time quickly flickered, and as the plants in Sean's yard withered and flourished, the time of the year slipped away from everyone's side.

After suffering a big loss at the hands of Sean, the guys of the Southern Alliance did not choose to continue to fight Reinado or retaliate, but quietly left one night not long after, taking almost all the men and supplies with them by the way.

It is said that because Reinado has been unable to fight for a long time, and even caused great damage to them, the top brass of the Southern Alliance decided to abandon the original plan after discussion, completely avoid it, and no longer engage in any fight with him.

To this end, they moved their headquarters in the city of Teresa to the most marginal city in the new territory of the Connery, Kerton City, and even gradually transformed their business, and began to delve into the sinking market of the slave trade.

Reinado was noncommittal about this series of operations by the Southern Alliance.

In the course of this year, he still developed step by step, although he did not take advantage of the victory, but he also had no intention of reducing his own power because of this.

According to his own description, the Southern Alliance is like a poisonous snake, even if it seems to be far away from the surface, it must always be careful whether it is hiding in the grass or in the dark, and if it relaxes its vigilance, it may be bitten by it that suddenly comes out.

The best way to deal with the viper is, of course, to kill it in one go, and for Reinado, he can only be truly at ease if the Southern Alliance is completely destroyed.

It's a pity that this guy may be incompetent, or maybe he wants to wait for a suitable opportunity, in short, in the three hundred and sixty days of the year, every day in Theresa City is a calm day, and there are hardly many conflicts between professionals.

……

Seeing that Reinado didn't have the idea of making a move, his subordinates naturally couldn't talk much.

It's a good thing to not have a fight, you can easily get the same gold coins, and you don't have to worry about your life, and you can eat, drink, and play every day, isn't it beautiful!

However, it has been a busy year for Sean.

He is different from those apprentice-level professionals who eat and wait for death, the formal level is a close goal for him, he just needs to keep running and chasing hard, and sooner or later he will cross that threshold and enter a new world.

Level up, level up, do whatever it takes to level up!

Sean is in a frenzied pursuit of knowledge and power, devoting more than 90% of his daily time to study and practice, and with a large amount of gold coins being exchanged for materials and books, his professional rank has also been raised twice in a row this year, from level 14 to level 16.

The rest of the people in Theresa had never seen him clearly, and naturally they would not have noticed this shocking leap in rank, and Sean quietly improved himself until one day he broke out of his cocoon and soared into the sky.
