However, this kind of thing should be a one-time deal; only during their first adventure could they obtain such huge benefits. Even if they could still gain experience the second time, it wouldn’t allow their faction realm to ascend to the Holy Sanctuary Level.
As for the Sword Maiden and Witch’s new professions ’Remnant Soldier’ and ’Death Warrior,’ they seem quite interesting, obviously designed to go against the Heroic Soul Army. But right now, avoiding the Heroic Soul Army is already an issue, let alone provoking those monsters.
Besides, the Witch’s Bonds Level also increased by one, I wonder if it was the result of the "Shared Life, Shared Death" from earlier.
Liss let out a cute lazy yawn, kicking her legs around on his belly, smacking her lips and hugging Ash, rubbing the drool from her cheek vigorously onto Ash’s clothes. Ash pushed this several-dozen-pound accessory off and got up to wash up.
While Ash was brushing his teeth, Liss also groggily walked into the bathroom, tore open a new toothbrush, and stood beside him brushing her teeth.
The little girl opened her eyes and glanced at the mirror, then froze slightly. Then she quickly finished gargling and washing her face and turned to hug Ash.
"...There are towels right there, why do you have to use my pajamas to wipe your hands?" Ash asked, somewhat helplessly.
’Liss’ shook her head and nudged around in Ash’s arms like a little piggy.
"Why are you so clingy today?"
"...I had a dream last night."
’Liss’ thought about it and shook her head, "I dreamed that everyone else was cherished, and I was all alone, excluded by everyone else."
"Rest assured, dreams are the opposite of reality; it must be you excluding others by yourself."
After washing his face, Ash took ’Liss’ to the makeup table and combed her hair while speaking, "Let me tie up your hair."
"Eh? Didn’t you used to let Aunt Bokin help with this?" ’Liss’ was surprised.
"What if Aunt Bokin isn’t going to be with us anymore?" Ash said calmly, "We can’t always rely on her, can we?"
"But even if we don’t get Aunt Bokin, I can still ask Aunt Hanna, Uncle Banjee, Uncle Harvey for help!"
Ash felt an immense humiliation: "So, it’s fine that I’m not as good as Hanna and Banjee, but why can’t I even compare to Harvey?!"
"Alice is pretty good looking..." ’Liss’ muttered, "But is Aunt Bokin really going to leave us?"
"To be precise, she doesn’t need friends like us anymore." Ash shrugged, "Life is like being on a train where people get off at their stops: some are forced to leave due to redevelopment, some go home to take over family businesses, some leave with the help of their fathers-in-law, and only beasts of burden stay on the train... I’m well accustomed to that."
"But what if Aunt Bokin gets cheated?"
"Him? A Swindler? Get cheated?"
"Doesn’t Aunt Bokin often say you trick her? It seems like she gets easily fooled by fools."
"You know, what you’re saying makes some sense... are you calling me a fool?"
After a smack on ’Liss’ head, Ash pondered, "Speaking of which, it’s rather strange how seriously Belladett regards Igula... As his parents, we should properly vet Belladett’s sincerity for Igula!"
’Liss’ blinked, "Are you really that nice?"
"It’s mainly because although I really want to wish him happy newlywed life, my generosity is truly not big enough to digest a friend’s success," Ash said earnestly. "If I could justifiably sabotage his happiness, that would be absolutely fantastic."
