"If this were the Valentina we initially encountered, hehe, who knows what the outcome would be?"
After pondering everything, Herbert slowly stood up and stretched lazily.
He turned his head to glance at Valentina, who was still asleep beside him. Seeing her relaxed brows and peaceful slumber, he smiled lightly.
"Looks like she has already passed the most difficult phase."
Herbert raised his hand and gently tapped Miss Hungry Dragon on the nose, pinched her nostril, and leaned down to give her a gentle kiss on the cheek.
"You stay here and sleep well; I'm going to leave for a bit. Hopefully, by the time I return, you'll be awake."
After a friendly exchange (or warning and threat) with Miss Mirror Demon, Herbert opted to visit the next location—choosing not to report to the Archbishop.
After all, Old Deng is always at the monastery, with nothing else going on throughout the year, and he won't wander off, so what's the rush?
