It was more about proving one's awareness to her.
"Besides, I'm not the only one who didn't intend to kill you, am I? You could have used a much more powerful attack, but you didn't. You were just spacing out in the middle of the fight, even holding back is unacceptable!"
Zhu Yue pouted and said, "I can't really hurt you, after all, Yao is my favorite. I can't bring myself to do it... But, knowing that Yao loves someone else still makes me angry! The flames of a purebred dragon are too overpowered!"
"Well, yes, that's a bit much..."
However, Zhu Yue, the power I possess exists to catch up with you, and I obtained it to protect you.
Yao's expression was very serious.
His words left Zhu Yue stunned.
This power exists solely for her.
This is no exaggeration; Zhu Yue could clearly sense that the power of Taizu Long Tifeng was threatening.
However, Yao did not need to exert any effort that could harm him.
They're just engaging in small-scale, insignificant activities.
"...Did Yao do all this for me?"
"Of course, that's what we've been working on from the beginning, just to prevent you from going too far and self-destructing."
Yao knew very well how reckless Zhu Yue was.
If we really let her cause trouble on her own, she will most likely still meet her inevitable end.
Therefore, one must be tough.
"...Hmm, is that so? Yao, then tell me, between me and those women you love, whose side are you on?"
Zhu Yue stared intently at Yao.
There was a hint of criticism and hostility in his gaze.
However, the pressure from before is gone; now it's more like the wife venting her resentment.
One must be careful what one says here.
Because Yao felt that this might be the only chance, a chance that would bring happiness to everyone.
"Ahem, then I said it."
"Hmph, I'm listening right here. If it doesn't satisfy me, I absolutely won't accept it!"
Zhu Yue crossed her arms, looking like she was on high alert.
Like a squirrel with its cheeks puffed out, even its anger is adorable.
“Listen carefully, Brunhilde and Krimhilde, they are both very important to me. Without them, I might not have been able to obtain this power, or even be here in such good condition.”
What Yao said was indeed the truth.
Without the attack from Krimhild and the others, he wasn't necessarily confident he could take down the evil dragon.
Without Brunhilde's assist.
It was even less likely that he would meet Taizu Longtifeng.
"...So, they even protected you (adei) while I was away?"
"Well, that's right."
Yao didn't expect that this was the issue Zhu Yue cared about.
I noticed that her anger subsided, though I wasn't sure if it was just my imagination.
Even their momentum seemed to weaken.
"However, being important and liking are two different things. If we're really talking about it, I care about you more than Brunhilde and Krimhilde. You make me worry and care about you to a greater extent, to the point that I can't take my eyes off you."
"Phew, how high is it!?"
"About... two or three stories high."
Yao answered instinctively.
Compared to the two women, Yao definitely values Zhu Yue more.
This is also something that can't be helped.
Who told Zhu Yue to come up with such earth-shattering wisdom, the kind that could destroy the world if she weren't careful?
Yao couldn't help but care about her.
Compared to her husband, he always felt more like a caregiver, having to stay by Zhu Yue's side 24 hours a day.
In order to prevent her from blowing up like a bomb.
To be honest, the more Yao thought about it, the more it seemed to make sense.
"Mmm... two or three floors... that's two or three times the price! Mmm! That's really, really great!!"
"What's wrong with you now!?"
Yao was already terrified by Zhu Yue's constant startling behavior.
Are we going to have to fight him again?
Zhu Yue looked as if she were celebrating with both hands raised, her fists clenched so tightly that her whole body trembled with excitement.
"Hmm! Although I'm a little angry, considering what Yao just said, I'll just consider it a pass for now!"
"Huh? You passed that already?"
"Hehe, only Yao has passed away. As for the others, I still need to meet them. Since they are people Yao likes so much, I have to meet them no matter what."
In addition, I have one more request, which I will discuss later.
Zhu Yue revealed a satisfied smile.
Yao's words, which had just been spoken, kept echoing in her mind. He said he cared about her more than anyone else.
Although that may not be a positive thing.
But she didn't really care.
In any case, the result is that Yao keeps her in his heart, and he puts her in his heart more than anyone else.
That's enough for her.
The sense of happiness was satisfied.
"call..."
Yao saw that he had finally gotten through this ordeal.
A huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders.
Looking at Zhu Yue dancing with joy, and then at the scorched earth around them, which had been set ablaze by the war.
The area within several kilometers was barren.
It really took a lot of effort.
However, for Yao, the most worthwhile thing is being able to bring happiness to everyone.
Zhu Yue returned to the workshop with immense excitement.
Let her meet the other women.
"Huh? Brunhilde, the Valkyrie of Norse mythology? Krimhilde, she has dragon blood? Well, not bad."
Zhu Yue sized up the two women in front of her.
Unlike before, she no longer felt jealous of the two men; instead, she possessed a sense of superiority akin to that of the empress.
However, she was originally very proud.
The two women, who had already anticipated this, seemed to be doing well; they could sense the goodwill emanating from Zhu Yue.
“Brynhildr, Krimhildr, let’s talk privately. As for Yao, you can’t participate in this conversation, and you’re not allowed to peek.”
"Huh? Zhu Yue, what's this...?"
Yao felt somewhat uneasy.
Zhu Yue invited the two women over for a private chat.
She could never engage in a forced conversation like an ordinary girl, nor could she chat while sipping tea like an aristocrat.
“Honey, let me go and talk to Sister Zhu Yue.”
"Yeah, it would be good to chat."
Krimshild and Brunshild had no objections.
They agreed with Zhu Yue's words.
Now that Yao saw that the three women had formed a united front, he had nothing to say.
And so, the three women went outside the workshop.
Yao had to stay by himself.
"Hiss... What are they talking about...?"
Yao was studying the Primal Runes absentmindedly.
Zhu Yue is really too out of touch.
However, she also emphasized that she wouldn't go too far, and that we should give her some trust.
One can think of what Zhu Yue has done so far.
Yao's trust has been almost completely eroded.
At this moment, he was torn between whether or not to go out, as the condition of the three women was a real concern for him.
.....
Outside the workshop, somewhere deep in the mountains.
There was no all-night conversation like that between best friends; instead, there was only a cold and ruthless confrontation.
"Huh? This is your power?"
Zhu Yue raised her hands, full of pride.
The craters and smoke on the ground were enough to tell that this was the battlefield where she fought the two women.
However, she did not act out of jealousy.
Krimhild and Brunhild have joined forces, and despite their hard-fought battle, they still haven't been able to defeat Zhu Yue.
—One of the originals, the gem of the stars.
They personally experienced the other's strength and the confidence that one person could shake human history.
Even so, we can't...!
If you think you can make me leave Yao's side with just this, you're far from qualified!
Krimshild braced himself against the blade.
Her long dress was mostly burned by the flames.
On the other hand, Brunhilde was in a similar situation.
She had primordial runes engraved on the divine spear, always ready to deliver the strongest blow to Zhu Yue.
Both of them knew they couldn't win.
However, none of them wanted to give up, mainly because none of them wanted to leave Yao.
"Oh, is that so... Well, that's about right."
Zhu Yue smiled with relief.
Previously, I heard that Yao was able to obtain such powerful strength because of the two women.
After this battle, it seems that what was said was true.
Brunhilde and Krimhilde both fight for the glory, and their resolve is absolutely genuine.
This is what made Zhu Yue approve of her.
