I will dedicate all my time to becoming stronger!
She suddenly remembered something and added: "Moreover, I just heard Zhu Nai say that my parents may already know about our contact."
Zhou Ye paused in his movements.
Oh? What's your parents' attitude?
Zhu Nai stepped forward and spoke respectfully:
Ye, the master and mistress are very interested in you... I have a feeling they might send someone to contact you.
Contact me? Zhou Ye closed the last book. What does that mean?
Rias bit her lower lip, feeling a little embarrassed:
Maybe he wants to... meet you... this...
"What is this?" Zhou Ye raised an eyebrow.
This is the man who made their daughter follow him so devotedly!
Nami popped her head out from behind and chimed in with a grin.
Hey, boss lady, looks like you're about to meet the parents!
Rias's face instantly turned red.
Nami! Don't talk nonsense! We're just...just allies!
Allies? Nami dragged out her words. What ally would be in such a hurry to come looking for someone?
I… Rias stammered, “I did this for the bigger picture! For the ranking game!”
Looking at Rias's flustered appearance, Zhou Ye suddenly found it somewhat amusing.
Alright, now that we have the materials, let's get started making it.
He stood up and looked at Zhu Nai:
Where are the materials?
Zhu Nai hurriedly took out a pile of glittering materials from her spatial storage bag.
These are [Space Crystals] used for stabilizing space, these are [Magic Stones] used for energy supply, and this...
She introduced each item one by one, each of which was quite valuable.
Zhou Ye nodded; these materials were indeed sufficient.
So, let's find a quiet place to start making it.
He looked at Rias and Akeno:
However, let me make this clear from the start. The creation of the "House of Time and Spirit" may take several hours, and once started, it cannot be interrupted. Are you sure you want to begin now?
"OK!" Lia didn't hesitate at all; the sooner the better!
Looking at her resolute expression, Zhou Ye shook his head inwardly.
This girl is so impatient.
It's good though. The sooner he gets the [House of Time and Spirit] sorted out, the sooner he can start cultivating and consolidating his strength. He can't rule out the possibility of his brother-in-law testing him in the future.
Let's go.
Zhou Ye packed up all the materials, and we went to the old school building, which was quieter.
Rias immediately turned and left, her steps hurried.
Zhu Nai followed behind, a hint of worry flashing in her purple eyes.
She felt that Rias was being too tense.
Is this really okay?
Zhou Ye, however, was plotting something else in his mind.
Since the Gremory family is coming to contact him, he needs to be prepared.
It seems the title "The End" will come in handy.
Chapter 111 Production Time and the House of Spirit
Looking at Rias's eager expression, and glancing at Akeno beside her who also looked anxious, Zhou Ye understood.
After all, this concerns Rias's lifelong "freedom".
"Alright, don't rush things."
Zhou Ye raised his hand, signaling Rias to calm down.
“Building the House of Time and Spirit is not like building blocks; it requires an absolutely quiet environment and ample preparation.”
He turned to Kasumigaoka Utaha and Yotsuya Miko:
"By the way, Jianzi, Shiyu, tell your families that you shouldn't go back today. As ordinary people, you can witness a lesson in the power of the mystical side, which will benefit your future growth."
Kasumigaoka Utaha pushed up her glasses, her eyes sparkling with excitement behind the lenses:
"No problem, boss, I've got this covered."
She had long wanted to witness more extraordinary powers.
Miko Yotsuya nodded emphatically, her voice trembling with anticipation:
"Yes, boss! I'll explain everything to Mom!"
Rias and Akeno then noticed Kasumigaoka Utaha and Yotsuya Miko, who had been standing quietly behind Zhou Ye.
These two beautiful girls, who were quite famous at Kuoh Academy, one a talented and artistic girl and the other a cute and charming girl, unexpectedly became Zhou Ye's... person.
Rias parted her red lips slightly and looked at Zhou Ye:
"Ye, they...are also your relatives?"
Zhu Nai's purple pupils also held a searching look.
Zhou Ye's expression remained calm:
“Yesterday we went to clear away the evil spirit that was haunting Miko, and she and Shiyu are willing to become my people and start learning from ordinary people.”
"Evil spirit?"
Rias frowned slightly.
For these high-level demons, ordinary evil spirits are nothing.
In Japan, evil spirits roam everywhere, and even the local Onmyoji are too busy to handle them all. The demons generally don't get involved unless they have a request or something in their way.
Zhu Nai asked one more question, her tone tinged with curiosity:
"Ye, aren't people who come into contact with evil spirits and have talent usually recommended to Onmyoji organizations, like the Onmyo-ryo?"
Zhou Ye scoffed, making no attempt to hide his disdain:
"Akane, don't you know what kind of people the Onmyoji in Japan are? Ordinary people like them, without any background or so-called powerful bloodline, are just cannon fodder at the very bottom even if they join the Onmyodo."
"They might not even qualify to be cannon fodder; they could die in some obscure corner without even knowing why. I will personally train my people."
His words were direct and realistic.
As Kasumigaoka Utaha and Yotsuya Miko listened, their admiration for Zhou Ye deepened even further.
Rias didn't want to dwell on this issue any longer; her mind was currently filled with thoughts of the [House of Time and Spirit] and Riesel's roast chicken.
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore." Rias forcefully steered the conversation back on track, staring intently at Zhou Ye and asking urgently:
"Ye, where do you plan to build the [House of Time and Spirit]? Although there are fewer people at the old school building, it is still school property, what if..."
Zhou Ye interrupted her:
“The old school building is no good. It’s too noisy, and the materials and subsequent maintenance are inconvenient.”
He hesitated for a moment, then said:
"Go to my house."
"your home?"
Rias and Akeno were both somewhat surprised.
“Yes, my place is big enough and secluded enough.” Zhou Ye nodded. “Besides, I need to use some auxiliary equipment.”
He looked at Nami and Saeko Busujima: "Nami, Saeko, and Shizuka, you guys come too. Perfect timing, Utaha and Miko also need to get to know the atmosphere of our little group."
Upon hearing this, Shizuka Marikawa's naturally ditzy face broke into a happy smile:
"Great! We can see our boss showing off his might again!"
Nami winked at Rias:
"Boss, the eldest said he went to his house. This is a great opportunity to get to know him better!"
Rias's cheeks flushed slightly, and she glared at Nami, saying, "What nonsense are you talking about! I'm talking about serious matters!"
"Let's go, let's ask the teacher for leave first." Zhou Ye took the lead.
Given Zhou Ye's "special status" at the school, asking for leave is naturally not difficult.
The group, in a grand procession, quickly teleported directly to the outskirts of Zhou Ye's family mansion via the secret magic array of the old school building.
After passing through the concealed protective line set up by Zhou Ye, the group entered the spacious courtyard.
"Boss, Nami, Saeko, Shizuka, why are you back so early this afternoon? Aren't you going to have class?"
A clear, slightly heroic voice rang out as Gil Valentine, dressed in smart casual clothes, walked out of the main house, followed by the equally curious Nan Rixiang.
When Gilgamesh and Nanami Rika saw the long line of women behind Zhou Ye, especially Rias and Akeno, the two young ladies of the Gremory family who were famous even in the Underworld, and their "Empress," as well as a group of familiars who joined along the way, namely Kiba Yuuto and Toujou Shiroto, they were both stunned.
This is quite a big scene.
Zhou Ye remained calm and introduced:
"Something came up, so I'm taking the afternoon classes off."
He pointed to Rias and Akeno, and the several space bags filled with precious materials at their feet.
