"Mmm~ so comfy~"
After following the instructions of the AI to tour the estate's scenery and buildings, Clara adjusted the manually controllable weather to a gloomy, rainy setting. She then made her way to the main house inside the estate. After taking a bath, she flopped onto the super soft, luxurious bed, letting out a sigh of pure contentment.
"To think that I, Clara, would get to experience the life of an ultra-magnate one day."
Lying on the bed, gazing at the understated yet undeniably opulent decor around her, Clara couldn't help but voice her amazement.
The land, vast as a top-tier airport. The house, grand as a castle. And within this estate, weather you could control. It all screamed one thing to Clara: welcome to the life of the super-rich.
"Hehehe, hehehe, hehehe~"
Clara reached over, picked up the property deed lying nearby, and broke into a series of gleeful giggles. Her heart was utterly filled with Joy.
She opened the deed. Written clearly upon it were two big names: Clara and Firefly.
Without a doubt, the sprawling estate Clara now found herself in was exclusively the property of Clara and Firefly~
"Hmm… I should find a time to invite everyone I know here for a party~"
The thought filled Clara's heart with sweet delight.
But was throwing a party really her only goal in inviting everyone over?
Of course not~
Having acquired such a top-tier estate, how could Clara—once a penniless soul—not show it off to everyone and let herself bask in everyone's attention?
Well… maybe it's best not to invite Asta…
The thought crossed Clara's mind. She was afraid Asta might show up, look at the colossal estate, and not feel even the slightest ripple of awe in her heart. Boo hoo~
But given Asta's personality, she'd probably still praise me, right?
As for whether Jing Yuan, the general, would welcome so many people coming to the Xianzhou Luofu…
Actually, whether Jing Yuan welcomed them or not would lead to the same outcome. Besides, were they coming to the Luofu? No, they were coming to my grand estate, alright~
Finished with her thoughts, Clara carefully stored the property deed inside her Dimensional Treasure Bag for safekeeping.
Then, she set the estate's weather control to a heavy rainstorm, pulled back the covers, and slipped into bed.
"Mmm~ so comfy~"
"Falling asleep to the sound of rain… just imagining it feels absolutely wonderful~"
Snuggled under the covers, Clara closed her eyes and listened to the patter of raindrops against the window. A wave of bliss washed over her.
'The soundproofing can be adjusted automatically. To hear the rain faintly, Clara had deliberately turned the sound insulation down just a tiny bit.'
"Hmm? Clara, are you asleep?"
Clara had only just closed her eyes for a short while when Firefly, having finished her bath, emerged from the bathroom. Seeing Clara lying in bed with her eyes shut, Firefly walked over to the bedside and asked softly.
"Not yet. I was just thinking… uh."
Hearing Firefly's voice, Clara opened her eyes.
But the sight that greeted her made Clara freeze on the spot. The next second, a blush spread across her cheeks.
Her voice tinged with shyness, Clara said,
"Firefly… why did you only come out wrapped in a towel…"
"Hmm… don't you like it?" Hearing Clara's words, a faint pink hue touched Firefly's cheeks as well. "If you don't like it, I can go find some pajamas to wear."
"It's just… I thought since we're lovers now, there's no need to be so reserved anymore…"
"Mm… alright, you're right. No need to change…" Listening to Firefly, Clara thought it made sense. As a couple, why bother with so many inhibitions~
"Then, does that mean we can…" Hearing this, Firefly instantly felt hopeful, thinking they might finally be able to take that final step.
But to Firefly's surprise, Clara merely shook her head gently upon hearing this.
"Not possible. We'd get sent to the Shadow Realm."
"Ah? What do you mean?" Firefly blinked in confusion.
Why would doing such a thing land them in the Shadow Realm? Firefly couldn't quite understand.
"I can't help it either." Clara also shook her head with some helplessness.
"So, it's really not possible."
"Alright then…" Seeing the situation, Firefly responded in a somewhat pitiful voice.
Watching Firefly's dejected look, Clara's heart ached.
'Damn it! One day, I will turn that Shadow Realm into a Realm of Light!!!'
Thus spoke Clara the Great.
After making this vow to her very soul, Clara took a good look at Firefly in her current state and couldn't help but inwardly marvel a few times.
It had to be said, Firefly's current appearance was truly quite devastating…
Fresh from her bath, Firefly's shoulders still held a slight rosy hue. Her hair wasn't dried, and droplets of water trailed down her strands, falling to the floor.
Ah, right. Her hair.
Looking at Firefly's still-damp hair, Clara remembered something lovers often did in those TV dramas.
With that thought, Clara didn't hesitate and immediately said,
"Firefly, let me help dry your hair!"
"Dry my hair?"
Hearing this, Firefly was momentarily taken aback, but soon understood, a smile blooming on her face.
"Okay~"
…
"Is this… a hairdryer…?"
Firefly sat on the chair, looking at the red sphere of energy hovering in Clara's hand behind her. The corner of her mouth twitched slightly.
"Uh… well… we don't have a regular hairdryer…" Clara rubbed her nose a little awkwardly, then continued,
"Don't worry! Even though it's not a standard hairdryer, my hand-crafted 'Drying Sphere' is definitely way more effective than a normal one~"
Clara didn't exactly know the principle behind hairdryers, but as long as you had something warm that emitted enough heat to evaporate all the moisture from hair, wasn't that good enough?
Thus, the Clara Brand 'Drying Sphere'—it's worth having!
Not for 998, not for 888, but for a cool 180 million!
"I always trust you~" Firefly had only asked out of mild curiosity and didn't press the issue further.
After all~
She had one hundred percent unconditional trust in Clara, and Clara would one hundred percent never do anything to harm her.
This was the one hundred percent mental synchrony between her and Clara~
