Roa ignored her, placing Roxy on his lap. Her small body was incredibly soft, and she emitted a scent he had never encountered before.
This fragrance was somewhat reminiscent of the shower gel from his past life.
It seemed she had secretly added something while bathing.
Noticing Roa's actions, Roxy's cheeks flushed, and her face turned completely red.
Even after what had happened at noon, this kind of thing was still too stimulating for Roxy.
Roa's hands rested on Roxy's waist as he leaned his head on her shoulder, gently biting her delicate, small earlobe.
Roxy let out a whimper, her body jolting as if electrocuted. She tried to stand up from Roa's lap, but the boy's strength was too great for her to resist, leaving her trembling and waiting for Roa's teasing.
Roxy's reaction amused Roa. After several rounds of teasing, Roxy's body had completely softened.
The little girl was soft and felt quite nice to the touch.
In terms of touch, even Mitsuri Kanroji would pale in comparison.
Roxy had never experienced such teasing before; just a moment of it left her dizzy.
She felt completely drained, allowing Roa to manipulate her at will.
Leaning against Roa's shoulder, he leaned down to kiss her, and then the intense battle began.
Roa's kissing skills were superb, and Roxy had completely succumbed, the clarity in her eyes long gone.
After the kiss, he moved on to the next step.
Caressing her, then taking further action.
He removed Roxy's sacred garments and her clothing, leaving only their heavy breathing in the room.
Roxy's body was certainly not the best, but at this moment, this not-so-mature body was incredibly enticing.
The second brother expressed that he would take the lead and charge forward.
Roa agreed, and the second brother eagerly rushed towards the enemy.
However, a problem arose: the enemy was too weak, unable to charge in like Mitsuri Kanroji.
Roa immediately ordered the second brother to stop, change tactics, and began to probe carefully, cautiously advancing into enemy territory.
After gauging the enemy's strength, Roa probed again, fearing that his fierce attack would cause the enemy to surrender outright, so he continued to test the waters carefully.
After one probe, two probes, and up to the fourth probe, the enemy could no longer hold back and engaged in a fierce battle with Roa. Initially, they were able to hold their ground, but soon several generals were captured one after another, leading to a complete rout.
The battlefield was in disarray, and Roxy, sitting in the general's position, watched as Roa drew closer. Beads of sweat rolled down her cheeks, and she could no longer resist, having to surrender.
The treatment of a defeated general goes without saying; naturally, she was severely humiliated by Roa.
The goddess of magic could not accept the reality of defeat and gathered her forces to launch a counterattack. Roa deliberately gave her a bit of a sweet taste, pretending that she had the upper hand. Roxy's confidence surged, thinking she had the advantage, and adjusted her energy, attempting to annihilate both Roa and his second brother in one fell swoop. However, the enemy launched a fierce counterattack at the last moment, completely breaking through her defenses.
The assault was fierce, and Roxy was unable to withstand it. She intended to surrender, but Roa declared that he would not accept her surrender, leading his descendants and troops to continue their conquests.
Roxy could only watch as her territory fell one after another, completely becoming a prisoner of war.
The treatment of a prisoner of war goes without saying.
This battle naturally ended with Roa's complete victory.
This battle was extremely intense. Roa even pretended to be exhausted multiple times to stir up the other party's passion, trying to entice Roxy into falling for his tricks.
After falling for Roa's tricks a few times, Roxy saw through his scheme, angrily cursing him as despicable and shameless. She then simply lay flat, remaining unmoved no matter how much Roa tried to entice her.
This battle lasted for two hours.
As the ancients said: "The wild path is dark, while the riverboat's fire shines alone. In the morning, look at the damp red places, where flowers weigh down the brocade city."
Someone once said: "The waterfall cascades down three thousand feet, as if the Milky Way is falling from the Ninth Heaven."
Originally, Roa did not believe it, but after this war, he became a believer.
Roa displayed extremely strong endurance and combat experience, successfully conquering the other party.
After the battle, Roxy was exhausted and fell into a deep sleep. Roa looked up at the ceiling, feeling unsatisfied.
In his arms lay Roxy's petite and slender body, her face filled with happiness.
It seemed that Roxy was quite satisfied with this battle.
The goddess of magic, with a sleeping face that could be described as innocent and pure, faced this way, breathing steadily.
As he stroked Roxy's soft blue hair, Roa felt content.
The girl's serene sleeping face furrowed her brows due to Roa's actions.
It seemed she was truly fast asleep. Roa sighed helplessly.
Although he wanted to go for a few more rounds, seeing her so tired, he decided to let her rest.
Roxy's constitution was indeed somewhat weak. As a magician, it seemed she had never properly exercised.
Although her body had no excess fat, her stamina was truly lacking.
Just two short hours had already worn her out.
The next morning, Roa sat up in bed.
He lifted the blanket and looked to the side, where Roxy was sleeping in an extremely ungraceful position. Seeing her bare body, Roa struggled to avert his gaze.
It was early in the morning, and this almost reignited Roa's interest.
He got up, dressed, picked up his bathrobe that had fallen on the floor, and frowned as he picked up Roxy's panties.
Roa did not have a strange hobby of collecting underwear; he simply thought that clothes lying on the floor were not very clean, especially intimate garments like panties.
After placing the intimate clothing on the other side of the bed, he prepared to wash up.
After washing up, he prepared breakfast for the goddess of magic.
After such an intense battle yesterday, he should give Roxy some nourishment.
This time, he prepared fish soup, intending to make a delicious bowl of fish soup for her to try.
As usual, he grabbed a fish and began to gut it.
He put the fish meat together, but this time, instead of grilling it outdoors, he specifically brought the ingredients to the palace kitchen.
Looking around, Roa did not seek out the head chef but instead grabbed a young cook and said to him, "I'll teach you how to cook. You learn, and in the future, you'll be the goddess of magic's personal chef."
The young cook tilted his head, his face full of confusion.
However, seeing Roa's impressive demeanor and the heroic spirit in his brows, the young cook didn't know what to say.
Someone like him was not someone the young cook could afford to offend, so he could only lower his head and let himself be ordered around.
Roa patted the young cook's shoulder and directly took over the stove he was in charge of.
Then he placed all the fish meat from the bag on the table and said to the young cook, "Watch carefully and learn well. Oh, by the way, what's your name?"
The young cook replied, "Sir, my name is Calvin Barry. You can just call me Calvin."
The fish had already been cut into chunks, but chunks alone were not enough.
Roa poured the fish meat onto the cutting board and then sliced the chunks into pieces, cutting along the direction of the bones.
Roa's movements were fluid, leaving Calvin in a daze.
He scratched his head, thinking that the other party had come to mess around, but he didn't expect that the other party actually had some skills.
However, now he was completely confused.
Roa didn't just work silently; he began his explanation mode: "Lay the two large pieces of fish meat flat on the cutting board. Hold the knife diagonally from the fish body to the tail, and slice down. The thinner the meat, the better. Cutting diagonally ensures that each slice of fish is relatively large."
The commotion quickly attracted the attention of other chefs. Some frowned, seemingly disapproving of Roa's methods, but none spoke up.
After placing the fish meat in a basin, Roa used water magic to clean the bloodstains from the fish, explaining as he did so: "Cleaning the blood is to remove the fishy smell."
Once the dirty blood was poured out, the remaining fish meat looked much more appealing.
Roa took out the remaining secret salt from his pocket, poured it into the basin, and rubbed it into the fish. Then he took out an unknown plant from the side.
This plant had a slight toxicity, with a spicy taste when eaten, somewhat similar to ginger from his previous life, making it perfect for removing the fishy smell.
The toxicity had already been neutralized by Roa's detoxification magic, leaving only the spicy flavor.
After completing these steps, Roa placed the fish into a pot and simmered it over low heat. As he cooked the fish soup, he addressed the group: "For this fish soup, the fish meat is quite tender, so the cooking time shouldn't be too long. Once the soup turns white, it's done. Continuing to simmer will not only destroy the nutrients but also make the fish meat tough and coarse, resulting in a poor taste. So, it's usually simmered for fifteen to twenty minutes."
Calvin nodded, while the other chefs remained silent, though their eyes still carried a hint of disdain.
Ignoring those who failed to recognize his talent, Roa slapped Calvin and scolded him: "Don't just nod! Remember, you'll be the one helping me cook later."
Calvin replied blankly: "But I'm only preparing low-grade food."
Roa waved his hand and directly addressed the head chef: "I want this person."
The head chef glanced at Roa, pondered for a moment, and then nodded decisively, much to Calvin's disbelief.
With that, Calvin was transferred out.
The people around showed sympathy towards Calvin.
However, when the fish meat was uncovered, a rich aroma of fish filled the entire kitchen.
Everyone looked at the pot of milky-white fish soup and swallowed their saliva.
Roa chuckled, ladled the soup into his specially made pot, covered it, and set it aside.
At this point, almost all the chefs were staring intently.
Especially the head chef, whose face twitched, his body trembled, and his Adam's apple bobbed.
The aroma was almost intoxicating; he had never seen such tender fish soup before.
Even without tasting it, he could sense the flavor from the rich aroma.
Roa wasn't stingy either. After serving himself a bowl, he distributed the remaining fish meat to everyone, allowing them to have a taste.
Calvin was the first to receive the food from Roa. Watching the fish meat roll in the bowl, he swallowed and asked: "Is this really for me?"
Roa nodded: "Everyone gets some. Go ahead and try it."
Calvin burst into tears, exclaiming: "This is the first time someone has been so kind to me. Thank you! May I know your name?"
Roa smiled: "I'm Roa."
Calvin nodded, sobbed, and carefully took a sip of the fish soup.
After just one sip, he started crying again.
"It's… it's so delicious. I can't believe there's fish soup in this world without any fishy smell. Thank you!" Calvin's praise made Roa feel quite pleased.
Calvin's actions naturally drew the attention of those around him. After taking a sip, everyone praised it highly.
Roa smiled as he accepted the compliments, never expecting his mediocre cooking skills to gain such recognition.
He then explained the details of cooking rice to everyone. As for the purification of coarse salt, Roa didn't plan to teach them; he intended to use this technique to make a fortune.
Once he had some influence, he could rely on this skill to extract wealth from the rich.
After teaching everyone, Roa carried the fish soup and rice to Roxy's room.
She was still asleep. Roa helplessly woke her up. In her drowsiness, Roxy felt a hand pinching her cheek and instinctively opened her eyes to see Roa's handsome face close by.
Roxy yawned, rubbed her sleepy eyes, and got up from the bed, reaching for her panties by the bedside.
She picked them up, somewhat confused. Her still-booting brain couldn't process this sudden situation. Then she looked down at her lower body and fell silent.
She wasn't wearing any clothes.
Suddenly, Roxy's face turned bright red. Seeing Roa staring at her without blinking, she started hitting his head.
Roxy, flustered and angry, shouted: "Stupid Roa, stupid Roa! Ahhh, don't look, you jerk!"
She hurriedly put on her panties, grabbed the blanket to cover herself, and curled up, unable to hide her embarrassment.
Roa sighed helplessly: "It's not like I haven't seen it before. Yesterday, didn't we—"
Roxy silently grabbed the wand beside her.
Seeing this, Roa twitched his mouth, nodded, and said seriously: "Alright, I'll shut up."
But Roa's words only made Roxy feel a slight pain.
Remembering yesterday's madness, Roxy's face turned even redder. She pointed the wand at Roa and said: "Roa, since you're a king-level swordsman, taking a high-level magic spell won't cost you an arm or a leg, right?"
Roa was stunned and quickly shouted: "Wait, I have something to say!"
Roxy looked at Roa, not saying a word, just silently watching.
Roa swallowed and said: "Could you… go easy on me?"
Roxy said expressionlessly: "A tiny spark will burn away a great blessing! 'Flame Thrower'!"
Mana gathered, converted into flames, and a scorching heat wave condensed on the wand, with blazing fire shooting into the air.
Roa said, somewhat speechless: "Roxy, are you serious?"
Without saying more, dark mana formed into threads, quickly enveloping the flames. In an instant, the high-level fire magic was completely devoured by the black threads.
Roxy angrily said: "You dare to fight back? If we get married, won't you bully me every day?"
Roa immediately prostrated himself, kowtowing like pounding garlic.
"Sorry, I was wrong. I won't do it again."
As the saying goes, a wise man doesn't stand under a dangerous wall. Kowtowing to his wife isn't too much.
Roxy sighed, threw the wand aside, and said helplessly: "How did it come to this?"
Roa looked up curiously: "What do you mean?"
Roxy glared at Roa: "Don't speak."
Roa nodded and kept quiet.
After her moment of melancholy, Roxy put on her clothes, got up from the bed, and looked at the steaming fish soup and rice on the table. She nodded: "At least you have some conscience."
Seeing Roxy about to get out of bed, Roa quickly handed her shoes and smiled at her.
Roxy helplessly put on the shoes Roa handed her and got out of bed.
Roxy sat on the chair, picked up the spoon, and took a small sip of the soup.
Her eyes slightly narrowed, and she said with enjoyment: "Not bad, you're quite skilled."
Roa smiled and leaned closer to Roxy: "Of course! Go ahead and try it all."
Watching Roxy eat small bites like a squirrel, Roa couldn't help but smile again.
But after laughing, Roa fell into deep thought.
The room was filled only with the sound of Roxy sipping the soup.
When Roxy was almost done eating, Roa asked: "Roxy, are you really not coming back with me?"
Roxy looked up at Roa: "Back? Where? To your home? Paul, oh no, father and mother must have their own things to do. And you have your siblings. If we're going to get married, we need our own house to live together. Besides—"
Roa admitted that Roxy's words made sense, but she always left things half-said, keeping him in suspense.
But since she was deliberately doing this, Roa followed her lead: "Besides?"
Roxy sighed: "You're so skilled; you must have had a first time, right?"
Roxy's words made Roa somewhat awkward. He scratched his head: "Well, yes, I wasn't planning to hide it from you."
As expected, it had aroused her suspicion. But then again, Roxy, though a bit slow, wasn't stupid. Roa hadn't tried to hide it, so it was inevitable that she would notice.
