Mage Manual

Ash was both annoyed and amused. After washing his hands clean, he wrapped his arms around Vishi’s waist from behind. Vishi struggled a little and muttered, "What are you doing? I’m busy..."

Vishi’s mouth was blocked by Ash and she was pushed step by step against the kitchen wall. She even managed to wash her hands clean along the way and very naturally wrapped her arms around Ash’s neck. They were like two soft dollops of cream melting into each other, glued together, inseparable.

By the time their lips parted, Vishi was already melted in Ash’s arms, posture lazy, eyes dewy and shimmering, her little face looking like you could squeeze water out of it with a pinch.

"Actually, you could sometimes be a little more honest like the Witches." Ash chuckled softly. "You being the one to take the initiative is really cute too."

"No way." Vishi forced herself to sit up straight, giving Ash a sidelong look through sultry eyes. "I won’t submit to you like they do... Supreme of Magic is not my final stop. Sooner or later, I’m going to climb on top of you."

You can get on top of me anytime you want... Ash didn’t say that joke out loud, or there really would be no one left to cook.

Just then the sound of the door opening came from outside again. Vishi immediately pushed him away and focused on cooking like a cool, aloof maid. First they heard Diya’s excited greeting, then two sets of footsteps walked toward the kitchen.

"We’re back."

Hanna walked into the kitchen and waved. Tamasi followed behind, taking off her mask and giving a slight nod as her greeting. Tamasi was still in her usual Black Crow Set, just without any weapons on her (they were all stored in her Space Ring). Her black hair fell like flowing water; her bare face, without any makeup, was pure yet seductive, and her gaze toward Ash was full of laughter.

Hanna, on the other hand, wore a luxurious strapless dress. The jet-black skirt and the pure-white bust formed a sharp contrast. Her hands were wrapped in a white fox-fur shawl, and her purple earrings swayed lightly. The two of them standing together were simply like a gorgeous Princess and her beautiful bodyguard.

"Welcome back." Ash began massaging and seasoning the meat. "How’s the Heavenly Kingdom?"

"Peaceful, stable, and developing fast." Hanna answered immediately. "You really don’t have to worry."

"Sounds like something definitely went wrong if you won’t even let me glance at the Heavenly Kingdom’s situation."

"Oh, come on~" Hanna clapped lightly. "Tamasi’s been watching over me the whole time. What could possibly happen? Even if you don’t trust me, you should at least trust her~"

Ash glanced at Tamasi. Tamasi was silent for a moment, then pressed her lips together and nodded. Her usually stern face showed a very complicated expression.

"...Fine." Ash sighed helplessly. "You know my principles anyway. Whatever experiments you’re running, keep them within what I can handle. At least if something happens, I can still deal with it. An Eight-winged isn’t omnipotent. Go keep Diya company and wait for dinner. We’ve got things under control here."

"I knew Ash was the best!" Hanna smiled sweetly and winked at Tamasi.

Tamasi hesitated for a moment, then slowly walked behind Ash, very stiffly reached out and hugged him, resting against his back, her face so red it looked like it might drip blood.

"...Looks like it’s not a small issue. Once it gets exposed, you’re even ready to send Black Crow in with a honey trap." Ash didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He turned his head to look at Tamasi, raising his eyebrows, his eyes full of amusement. "My hands are busy right now."

Tamasi hesitated for a moment, then kissed Ash on the lips like a dragonfly skimming water, and immediately lowered her head to hide behind him like a little crow curling up. Hanna stepped over in high heels and hugged him. Her lips were as red as burning cinnabar, her eyes soft like a pool of spring water. "What do you mean, letting Black Crow run the honey trap... Don’t tell me I’m not allowed to use a honey trap too?"

Vishi chopped heavily on the cutting board a few times and gave this Evil Concubine and muddle-headed King pair a sideways glare.

Hanna’s lips were slightly cool. Her hands and feet were usually cooler than room temperature, her breath carrying a faint drifting fragrance. Her full, soft curves lightly pressed and rubbed against him, her half-resisting, half-complying movements full of little schemes, making Ash both itchy at heart and reluctant to pull away.

"How’s my honey trap?" She bit Ash’s ear, gentle and charming like an Evil Concubine seducing her King. "Should be enough to make you willingly fall for it, right?"

Even Ash’s face was a bit red from her antics. He said irritably, "But whenever you use a honey trap, it usually means you’re about to make a new request."

"Exactly." Hanna giggled. "I’ve left a message in your Mage’s Handbook. Please try to speed up the birth of the ’Righteous Fury’ Secret Realm, okay? Tonight Tamasi and I will make it up to you properly~"

"Alright, alright." Ash was again both annoyed and amused. "I really feel like this Master of Void Realm is just working for you all..."

"Thank you, Ash! Then we’ll go keep little Diya company!"

Hanna left the kitchen laughing, dragging Tamasi along. The hall outside gradually grew lively.

Divine Lord Black Crow, Tamasi, and Divine Lord Violet Resentment, Hanna, were in charge of running the Eternal Heavenly Kingdom (formerly the Final Heavenly Kingdom).

Ash glanced at Vishi, who was currently abusing the cutting board, and said, "If you have something to say, just say it."

"You spoil them too much." Vishi said bluntly.

"They probably think I spoil you too much as well, letting you become the Supreme of Magic..."

"You spoiling me is only natural!" Vishi reflexively retorted, but immediately realized something was off. She lowered her head and tossed the diced beef into cold water to blanch it, washing off the blood foam.

"Hey, why is it only natural for me to spoil you? Is it because you’re very loyal to me? Because you’re very capable? Or is it because you actually love me very much?"
