Krimshild and Brunshild were on different fronts.
They rushed back as soon as they received Yao's message.
Inside the workshop lobby.
As always, the wives sat around the dining table, as if eating together had become a habit whenever they gathered.
Even though they no longer need to eat.
Nowadays, eating is more about the ambiance.
Krimhild and Brunhild served the food in turn, and Zhu Yue sat quietly waiting.
The queen considered trying to cook.
However, given that she is a perfect being who does not need to eat, it is not hard to imagine how terrible her taste is.
After cooking only once.
Zhu Yue was strictly forbidden from entering the kitchen by Brunhilde and Krimhilde.
The perspective returns to the lobby.
On the table were perfectly toasted bread and corn chowder, Neapolitan-style pan-fried white fish, followed by salad and snake soup.
The cuisine is full of Mediterranean flavors.
After taking a seat.
Yao Xian took a sip of the thick soup and couldn't help but praise, "Not bad, Brunhilde's cooking skills have already reached a high level. How about she switch from being a Valkyrie to becoming my personal chef?"
Brunhilde smiled gently and said, "As long as Yao thinks it suits his taste, that's fine. A personal chef, hmm... that seems pretty good!"
"Mmm! It tastes really good!"
"Sister Zhu Yue, why did you just pick up the pot and drink it?"
"Eat quickly, eat quickly."
The women immediately started eating.
Yao smiled slightly.
His gaze wasn't fixed on the delicious food on the table, but rather on the women around him.
He placed the fish into Ephemeros's bowl, and then added some salad to Krimshild's bowl.
Then, as was his habit, he asked his wives about their daily lives and even the conditions on the front lines of the battlefield.
Krimhild led the Burgundian army to conquer several cities and captured the fortress of Gaul before returning.
Brunhilde, as a Valkyrie, has a keen sense for heroes. She has found many talented people in the army, and she herself is also a skilled warrior.
If it weren't for the heroic spirits intervening, the two women would probably have had an easier time in this war.
After finishing discussing the topics that needed to be discussed.
The only sounds in the hall were the clinking of bowls and chopsticks; such was the mundane routine of daily life.
It's hard for magicians outside the magic world to imagine.
These Valkyries, who fought so fiercely on the battlefield, actually had such a peaceful side.
However, we were only halfway through the meal.
Yao was the first to break the silence.
"Zhu Yue, I have something for you."
As he spoke, he took out a gift box from the jade bottle.
The gift box floated in the air due to buoyancy.
In terms of appearance, it is clearly a product of meticulous design, exquisite yet understated.
It was naturally Yao's doing.
The women's gazes were unconsciously drawn to it.
Normally, Yao would make some pastries and give them to the women, who originally thought they would be the same as before.
Zhu Yue opened the treasure box without much thought.
In an instant, a dazzling light, like a rainbow, appeared, and a brilliant silver crown was placed inside the box.
They were so captivated that they couldn't look away.
"This crown was made from the dragon's horns, wings, and reverse scales after I defeated the evil dragon, along with ten-thousand-year-old gems and other divine beasts. Zhu Yue, you are the high and mighty Moon Queen, and you should be adorned with such a magnificent crown."
Yao's explanation sounded.
He had the idea of giving his wife a gift long after he killed the evil dragon Fafnir.
However, as other wives joined the family...
Yao had to postpone the gift-giving time and time again.
Each piece is made with my whole heart and soul.
"This is...for me...?"
Zhu Yue opened her beautiful eyes wide, quite surprised.
Brunhilde stared intently at the crown, saying enviously, "It's so beautiful, and it matches Zhu Yue's temperament perfectly."
"So, preparations began after the dragon slaying..."
"Krimshild murmured."
She was the one who witnessed Yao slaying the evil dragon.
Now she understands that Yao was able to slay the evil dragon entirely thanks to Zhu Yue's demonic sword.
Zhu Yue did so much for Yao.
She knew that Zhu Yue was worthy of this crown.
It's one thing to know something in your heart.
Krimshild couldn't help but feel envious.
"Yao, you almost exhausted all your strength and even faced danger when you tried to slay the evil dragon..."
"Giving you a gift was something I decided to do from the beginning. At that time, only the evil dragon was the one I thought was suitable."
"Defeat it, and you will not only gain power, but also be able to make a gift for me to prove myself to you."
"Prove what?"
Zhu Yue asked subconsciously.
Her whole heart was on the crown.
"To prove that my promise to walk with you is not empty words, to prove that I have the strength to walk with you, and to prove that I am the man who loves you the most in this world."
The image of Yaoxiang illustrates a very simple truth.
However, before he could finish speaking...
All that could be heard was the soft patter of crystal tears falling to the ground; the Moon King shed his only tear in his life.
That was a sight more beautiful than anything else.
Even death had never made Zhu Yue shed tears or feel fear, but this love made her heart tremble.
"I don't need any proof from you, and I don't want you to take risks for such a thing... Yao, even without these proofs, I will walk with you to the end of eternity. Because we are destined to be together, from the moon to here, it has always been so."
Zhu Yue's eyes were blurred with tears of happiness.
Her cheeks gradually became wet.
It was like a dam bursting, completely out of control.
Countless days and nights of companionship and devotion in the past.
Those words seemed to echo in my ears once again.
Warm memories, immersed at the bottom of the ocean of memory, all resurface before my eyes.
Even if there are more and more beautiful women around me.
His feelings have never changed.
“Zhu Yue.…”
Yao grasped Zhu Yue's hand.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Yue hugged him tightly and cried like a lost little girl.
Sometimes he does seem a bit dim-witted.
This is even more worrying.
"Such a beautiful face is all smeared with tears. You are the Moon Queen. How can you let those who believe in you outside see this?"
"But I'm so happy... I love it when Yao gives me a gift like this!"
Zhu Yue completely abandoned her dignity.
Overwhelmed by happiness, she completely let loose and clung to Yao, refusing to let go.
Afterwards, Yao had to give them a good talking-to.
She then returned to her original form.
The proud and elegant Moon King has returned to the game.
She clutched the gift box tightly, her face beaming with happiness.
“Not only Zhu Yue, but also Krimhild and Brunhild, as well as Ephemeros. Everyone gets a share.”
Yao took out three gift boxes at the same time.
Each gift box is packaged similarly to the one given to Zhu Yue, but contains different gifts inside.
Brunhilde's armor was made of dragon bones and scales.
Krimshild is a ring forged from the eyes of a dragon.
Both also used evil dragons and mythical beasts defeated at Mount Etna as materials.
Yao delayed giving the gift.
The biggest reason was that he wanted to deliver the gift to each of his wives so that no one would feel lonely.
You have to carry water properly.
Only Ephemerus's dress was not made of dragon material, but rather woven from the fibers of the Imaginary Tree.
Yao prepared a gift for each of his wives.
Although Ephemerus and he were not husband and wife, Yao had long regarded her as his woman.
Zhu Yue wasn't the only one moved.
All the wives had tears in their eyes.
However, the atmosphere shifted subtly at the end, and they stared at Yao with predatory eyes.
Just as Yao was thinking to himself, something bad was about to happen.
Before he could even dodge or escape, Brunhilde tackled him to the ground.
Suddenly, her dress was gone.
The melodious harmony of dragons and phoenixes rang out once more.
Soon.
The pleasant melody began to sound uplifting.
Yao almost failed to break through the combined encirclement of Brunhilde and Krimhilde.
The most unexpected thing is...
The person who offered help was actually Zhu Yue.
"Phew... Zhu Yue, thank you for your timely intervention. Otherwise, I'm afraid I would have been stuck there and wouldn't have been able to get out..."
