Chapter 261 The Bed the Cleanliness Elf Loves
Orario, on the street.
The news that the Astrea Familia and the Ishtar Familia were going to hold a war game spread throughout the city at lightning speed, leaving countless people speechless.
This is no longer the minor skirmishes of the past.
In the guild's rating system, the Ishtar Familia is rated A and the Astrea Familia is rated B. Both are well-known and established families that have been operating in Orario for many years.
Aside from adventurers who frequently visit dungeons and know the reason behind it, most people are completely baffled. Why would two major clans suddenly go to war?
War games are nominally "games," but in reality, they are life-or-death struggles!
The victor has the power to strip the loser of everything, including but not limited to the power to return the Lord God, plunder assets, and disband the family, as well as the power of killing!
It's definitely not something you can have fun playing like a game.
As more news spread, it was learned that the Ishtar Familia had colluded with the Dark Faction, and the two sides joined forces to hunt down the Astrea Familia in the dungeon.
The entire city was in an uproar.
In the streets and alleys, countless people cursed the Ishtar Familia. As one of the top Familias in Orario, they had gained countless benefits from the people, yet they betrayed the city and colluded with the dark faction.
The painful memories of the great struggle came flooding back.
The people looked at the prostitutes with disgust and anger, and they would spit on them whenever they saw them.
The gods almost unanimously supported the Astrea Familia, a situation they had anticipated, so they dared not get involved at all. They were playful and pleasure-seeking, but they were not stupid or foolish.
Orario is a rare paradise, full of endless fun, and no god would want to be banished.
However, the public's support was only superficially impressive; it did little to actually help the Astrea Familia, neither increasing their fighting strength nor providing them with top-tier equipment and weapons.
At most, a few million Fares could be raised through crowdfunding, but that amount of money was meaningless to Roy.
As expected, betting odds were opened in various taverns and casinos in response to the clash between the two major clans.
After comparing intelligence on the two sides' combat strength, number of people, and funds, the odds for both sides were quickly calculated.
The odds for the Ishtar Familia are 1 to 0.8.
The odds for the Astrea Familia are 1 to 3.2.
The major powers clearly favored the Ishtar Familia, even though the other side had already suffered heavy losses.
One is an A-level clan, and the other is a B-level clan. This is enough to explain most of the issues. It may seem like there is only a one-level difference, but the higher the level, the greater the gap in personnel size, member strength, and available funds.
Moreover, the Astrea Familia suffered a total annihilation a year ago. In just one year, they have recruited many people, but how much strength can they recover?
All factions also noticed an important piece of information: the Ishtar Familia is colluding with the Dark Faction!
Emotionally, people loathe the dark faction!
However, rationally speaking, they also had to admit the power of the Dark Faction. Ever since the destruction of the two great clans of Zeus and Hera, the Dark Faction had turned Orario upside down. Even now, countless demons and monsters are still hiding in the darkness, waiting for their chance to strike.
Once the Dark Faction aids Ishtar's Familia.
This war game is essentially a battle between the Astrea Familia and the Ishtar Familia plus the Dark Faction.
The Garden of Stars.
Both the Astrea Familia and the Ishtar Familia need a period of rest, and the gods have set the time for the War Game for half a month later.
Roy stored the stolen materials in his blacksmithing workshop. Occupying space in the ring wasn't a long-term solution. Looking at the shelves full of precious materials, his collecting habit was quite satisfied.
He was filled with excitement, knowing that he could use these materials to create a batch of Tier 1 weapons to replenish the equipment that everyone had lost after that expedition.
However, Roy's anxious heart, which was focused on forging equipment, had something more important to do.
Night falls.
After a fierce debate with Ishtar at the Divine Assembly, where they decided on matters related to the War Game, the goddess Astraea was exhausted and went to bed early after dinner.
The same goes for the girls who have just been resurrected.
The mansion was silent. Roy returned to the living room and saw only the figure of a useless elf.
Ryu sat alone on the sofa, her exquisite figure clad in a pure white shirt and leggings that outlined a captivatingly beautiful curve. Her long golden hair shone like ears of rice. She lowered her head, pretending to be engrossed in reading the information about the Ishtar Familia in her hand, which was compiled by Lily.
But Roy's keen senses always told him that he could feel a subtle gaze watching him.
Whenever his gaze fell upon her and met those sky-blue eyes, it was like a lightning bolt striking; she would immediately turn her head away and avert her eyes.
Since Ryu returned from the Deankat Sanatorium, Roy hasn't had a chance to talk to her.
Seeing the other person's unusual reaction, Roy felt a mischievous glint in his eye and stepped forward. "Miss Ryu, are you still not healed?"
Under the light of the magic lamp, Roy's tall figure completely overshadowed the elven girl. Liu's pupils contracted slightly, and her voice trembled, "It's all done."
"Really? Don't lie to me, or I, the leader, will enforce the clan rules!" Roy lowered his head and stared at the other person with a questioning look.
"real!"
The boy's handsome face, so close to hers, made Liu's breath catch in her throat. Her pretty face flushed red, and her ears, which were covered in a moon-white halo, were tinged with a rosy blush, the tips of which trembled slightly.
Like a startled little animal, she quickly lowered her long eyelashes, her gaze flustered.
Liu's slender white fingers unconsciously tightened around her clothes, her knuckles turning slightly white.
Roy asked, "Then why won't you look at me?"
As Roy drew closer, the elven girl's slender body unconsciously bent backward.
Even the surrounding breeze seemed to hold its breath.
All that could be heard was Liu taking a soft breath and whispering in a barely audible, trembling voice, "I can't look at your face—"
Whenever the boy came into her view, her slender shoulders would jump up like a startled cat.
It's almost as if he has contracted some kind of illness.
That pure and clumsy shyness was more moving than the most precious moonflower in the forest. Looking at the elven girl's delicate and shy face, Roy felt a sudden heart attack. He had only wanted to tease her, but things had gone wrong.
"I—I'm going back to rest first—" Ryu got up and hurriedly walked towards her room.
Roy moved with lightning speed, grabbing the other person's soft, boneless hand, and said with a smile, "Since you're leaving, give me back my things!"
Liu Dai frowned, turning around with a puzzled look. "What do you have here with me?"
Roy laughed, "Give me back my heart!"
A blush instantly crept onto the elven girl's beautiful cheeks. "What nonsense are you talking about? How could I—"
Before she could finish speaking, Roy pulled hard.
"Ah—!" Liu exclaimed in surprise, her delicate body uncontrollably falling into Roy's arms. The strong and familiar masculine scent rushed towards her, and she felt as if her spine had been removed, her whole body going limp, just like that time in the dungeon, her powerful LV.5 strength completely gone.
Roy's right and left hands passed through the elven girl's slender waist and full thighs, respectively, and lifted her delicate, feather-like body.
"What are you going to do?"
Liu's face grew increasingly panicked as memories of the underground city flooded back, leaving her mind in a daze. She instinctively cried out for help, "No! Someone, come quick!"
"Girl, no matter how much you scream, no one will save you!" Roy revealed a sinister smile, like a bandit coming down from the mountain to rob women.
"And what if we wake them up?" Roy whispered in her ear.
The hot breath she exhaled made her even more flustered, her cheeks burning.
Roy spoke in a devilish voice, "You don't want them to see this either, do you?"
Liu was slightly taken aback, noticing their posture reflected in the living room glass out of the corner of her eye. She then realized what was happening, gritting her teeth, "How despicable—!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Roy let out a wild laugh, carried the beautiful and charming elf girl back to his room, threw her onto the soft bed, and locked the door.
The door clicked shut, startling Liu Xiao. Her face turned pale, and she pushed herself up the edge of the bed with her hands and feet, quickly retreating to the corner and clutching the blanket tightly to cover herself.
"It's impossible for us, Lady Astraea, and for others—" The elven girl's words were incoherent, and pink crept up her snow-white skin.
In the quiet room, even the blanket couldn't stop the elven girl's rapid heartbeat. Roy estimated that her heart rate was at least over two hundred. The fact that nothing had happened showed how impressive the physical fitness of a high-level adventurer was.
"Calm down, half of it was a joke," Roy said, turning on the magic stone lamp in the room.
"half----"
Ryu's eyes flickered. What about the other half?
Roy walked along the edge of the bed to Ryu's side, slowly lifted the blanket covering her, and then reached for the buttons under her white shirt.
Liu's lips trembled, and her delicate body stiffened.
But looking at Roy's resolute and serious face, Liu Xiaolu's fluttering heart gradually calmed down.
Roy simply unbuttoned the bottom two buttons of his shirt, revealing the elfin girl's smooth abdomen, her skin as tender as a newborn's, with faint scars—marks left from being pierced through the abdomen.
In this world with healing magic, unless they want to leave scars to enhance their fierce image, some male adventurers will deliberately leave various scars, making their faces look menacing and not to be trifled with.
Otherwise, most scars can be removed.
"Does it still hurt?" Roy asked, gently stroking the scar that hadn't completely faded.
Feeling the warmth of Roy's large hand, Liu felt shy again and shook her head, "Amid's magic is amazing."
The cursed spear that LV.5 Freni Jamil threw with all her might would be fatal to anyone who was hit. Ryu used her Intuition skill to sense it before he could and pushed him away at the last second.
The underground city is constantly changing!
There are limits to the power of one person alone, and Roy had to admit it (he wanted the Stone Mask).
Seeing the lingering guilt and apology on Roy's face, Ryu mustered her courage and said firmly, "Even if I had to do it all over again, I wouldn't regret it, just like you helped me!"
Roy's face froze for a moment, then a sinister smile crept onto his lips. "Hearing such touching words, it seems you really don't want to leave tonight?"
Liu Xiao's serious expression lasted less than three seconds before she reverted to her previous useless demeanor, frantically gesturing with her hands, "I—I—I'll go out first—"
Liu ran towards the door as if her life depended on it.
Before Ryu could even unlock the door, Roy wrapped his arms around her slender waist from behind. "Stay tonight!"
Ryu panicked. "No, we haven't made a vow under the Great Sacred Tree yet. Even if we don't go to the forest, we should at least swear an oath before the gods—"
"Enough with the nonsense. Get on the bus first, buy the ticket later, it's the same thing," Roy said.
Once the lights were turned off and the blankets were pulled up, the room became dim and silent.
The two lay on the same large bed, able to clearly feel each other's breathing and heartbeat.
"At least, at least—" Liu was still struggling with her thoughts, a blush spreading to her ears. She closed her eyes tightly, like a young girl waiting for favor.
Roy said, "I promise I won't do that!"
Ryu asked cautiously, "Really?"
"real!"
Roy spoke with conviction and unwavering conviction.
Upon hearing this, Liu's tense body relaxed. Roy was trustworthy in terms of credibility, but for some reason, she felt a slight sense of loss deep down. Liu's face turned even redder and hotter. Did she expect Roy to be so shameless?
However, her little scheme quickly disappeared.
In the darkness, two large hands groped around and pulled her into their arms, seemingly trying to break through the barrier of their clothes.
Ryu stared at Roy with her bright, jewel-like eyes. "Didn't you say—you wouldn't do that kind of thing?"
"Yeah, so I have to do everything except that!" Roy said naively.
Seeing Roy's innocent look, as if she hadn't understood what he meant, Liu felt like she was going to vomit blood. The city was full of tricks, she wanted to go back to the countryside!
After some back and forth, their breathing became even, and Roy ultimately did not cross the line.
According to the elves' custom, both parties must make a vow under the sacred tree they guard in their homeland. This process is indispensable, and Roy respects the other party's wishes.
"Huff! Huff! Huff!"
Liu was panting heavily from the ordeal. She felt more tired than when she went into the deeper levels to kill monsters, and her shyness burned like a raging fire.
Her little head was buried deep in the quilt, and her body was curled up like a pangolin.
Roy's pillows, sheets, and blankets all smelled of sunshine, which was incredibly warm and reminded her of the first time they met.
It was also because Roy's bed was too comfortable that she wanted to go in and lie down for a while because she was exhausted.
Finally, they encountered this nemesis with whom they had been entangled for so long.
Ryu took a deep breath, forcing herself to distract herself, otherwise she would definitely be eaten alive by Roy, that big bad wolf, today. She asked, "Can the method used to revive Tione and the others be used on Alicia and the others?"
Roy shook his head and replied, "No, the resurrection ability I currently possess requires a complete corpse, and each person can only use it once."
Upon hearing this, Liu was slightly disappointed, but the worry in her heart also dissipated.
Ryu solemnly declared, "Life is precious!"
"I know!"
Roy knew that Ryu was reminding him that even with the ability to resurrect, one should never take life lightly.
For example, since you have the ability to revive, when exploring dungeons and encountering unknown and dangerous areas, you might send your teammates to risk their lives to explore—you can't have this kind of mentality and thinking, or humanity will gradually disappear.
Roy squinted. With his relationship with Ryu having developed to this point, he also had to seriously consider the matter of reviving Alexie Rofer and the others.
The Shikon Jewel and Tenseiga cannot revive people without corpses; we need to find other methods.
The next day.
Bright sunlight streamed in through the window. Roy slowly opened his eyes, glanced at the clock on the bedside table, and realized it was almost noon.
It's strange that he sleeps so late.
But the fatigue and injuries from the expedition were swept away, and Roy felt refreshed. He got up, stretched, and his bones cracked.
In bed, the beautiful blonde elf girl curled up in a ball, her eyes closed, her breathing even, enjoying the warmth of the blankets, peaceful and serene.
Roy pinched the other's small nose and said, "Little sleepyhead, time to get up!"
"Let me sleep a little longer," Ryu said lazily, swatting away Roy's mischievous hand.
Roy was speechless. She seemed too comfortable. Did she even remember whose room this was?
"Is it dawn yet?"
A moment later, Liu shakily got up, slumped on the bed, her eyes still sleepy, and a few glistening drops of water streamed down her delicate lips.
As she gradually regained consciousness, her sky-blue eyes focused, reflecting Roy's meaningful smile.
Roy chuckled, seemingly casually, "I wonder who was so resistant yesterday."
The elven girl wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth, seemingly realizing something. Her cheeks flushed red, and she darted away like a rabbit, fleeing in panic.
But the moment the door opened...
Hearing the noise, the goddess Astraea, Tione, Tiona, Daphne, Cassandra, and Lily all turned their heads in unison.
The two stared at each other, wide-eyed.
At this moment, time and space seemed to stand still.
"Aaaaaaaahhhhhh!!"
Both of them screamed almost simultaneously.
"Lord Ryu, you came out of Lord Roy's room?" Lily's mouth dropped open. They had been sitting here since early morning and hadn't seen Ryu go in.
They assumed that Ryu had gone out to hunt down people associated with the dark faction, so they didn't pay any attention.
At that moment, it exploded like a thunderclap.
Ryu's gaze shifted downwards, and she saw that her clothes were disheveled, revealing a large expanse of her snow-white skin, the result of Roy's groping. A wave of shame surged through her, and she crouched down, hugging herself, wishing there was a crack in the ground she could disappear into.
"Ryu, as expected of my greatest rival, is too powerful!" A strong sense of crisis arose in Tione's heart, having silently progressed to this point!
Astraea smiled like an aunt.
Lunchtime.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was somewhat strange. Everyone ate their rice in silence, occasionally glancing at Roy and Ryu.
After changing her clothes, Liu Qiao's face was flushed, but she still couldn't lift her head, especially when the other girls' wary gazes swept over her, making her feel like she wanted to die.
Roy, on the other hand, remained completely unfazed, as if nothing had happened.
Dungeon: Inuyasha Difficulty: LV.3~LV.7
[The rewards have been adjusted; different levels of rewards will be awarded based on the different ability values of each member!]
[Roy, LV.5, rewards 1-200 attribute points for each monster killed!]
[Ryu Ryo, LV.5, rewards 1-200 attribute points for each monster killed!]
Tiony Schillut and Tiona Schillut, LV.4, reward 10~2500 for each monster killed.

Daphne Lalos and Cassandra Illion, LV.3, reward 30-50 for each monster killed.
00 attribute points!
Bonus mission: Hunt down the evil half-demon Naraku, reward: 1000 attribute points and a golden treasure chest!
After lunch, everyone rested and fully recovered.
Roy reaches LV.5 and can take five people into a dungeon at the same time, bringing Ryu, Tione, Tiona, Daphne, and Cassandra into the Inuyasha world.
Lily is of a lower rank and serves as a caretaker for the goddess Astrea, while also handling matters related to her clan.
Donning all the available and intact equipment, the group arrived at the village where Granny Feng lived.
Rumble!
Just as it landed, a deafening roar came. Looking closely, the sky was shrouded in dark, heavy clouds, with countless shadows surging in the depths.
The lightning and thunder roared like the howl of a ferocious beast.
Unlike normal weather phenomena, the clouds contained a terrifying demonic aura, with dark purple light appearing and disappearing intermittently, sometimes bursting open violently.
-
Grandma Feng was organizing the villagers to take refuge in the deep mountains when she noticed Roy and the others immediately.
Roy said, "Grandma Feng, it's been a long time!"
"Roy?!"
When Granny Feng saw Roy again, she was surprised. It had been more than a year since they last met. This young man was truly elusive, appearing at this very moment.
"Is that the final battle between Naraku and Kagome?" Roy asked, looking at the dark clouds in the distance.
"Yes, Kagome, Inuyasha, and Kikyo are currently fighting against Naraku," Granny Kaede said.
"Platycodon grandiflorus————"
Roy murmured that the witch Rita used her demonic arts and Kagome to revive Kikyo. Naraku, who coveted Kikyo, would inevitably appear. Therefore, without the Shikon Jewel, the development of this world would be similar to the original timeline.
However, Naraku wasn't that powerful.
"Roy, what are you planning to do this time?" Granny Kaede said irritably. Kagome had already told her what had happened; Roy had tricked her out of the Shikon Jewel.
Roy laughed, "I'm here to help you guys. See those girls behind me? They'll slaughter Naraku and those demons without leaving a trace!"
Grandma Feng's gaze swept over the girls behind Roy. They were so young, but their faces were full of vitality, and the strength and confidence they exuded astonished her.
Even the weakest characters, Daphne and Cassandra, accomplished great feats twice. Their eyes were filled with unwavering conviction, and their spirit gave them a different feel.
The girls all rallied around Roy. Grandma Feng remained silent. Although she had long recognized Roy's extraordinary nature, she seemed to have underestimated him.
Having obtained some useful information from Granny Feng, Roy led the girls to the battlefield.
Their figures darted swiftly through the forest.
"Like I said before, kill as many as you can. If you can't level up, don't even think about participating in the war game!"
"Roy said, setting requirements for them."
The girls charged forward, yelling and screaming.
Having suffered such a great loss in the dungeon, not letting them participate in the war game is worse than death.
