When Wang Xiaole brought the water cup back, the two girls had already started fighting.

From the moment he went to get water until he returned, it hadn't been even one-fifth of the break time, which means it was less than two minutes;

Neither of the two seemed willing to tolerate or hide their hostility towards each other even in a public setting. They would immediately fight if they saw something they didn't like!

From Wang Xiaole's perspective, observing from the outside, he could see two figures that seemed to be arm wrestling, using both hands to twist each other's arms!

Now all four arms were pressed against the table, palm against palm, hand against hand. Both of them were exerting their full strength, trying their best to force the other person under the table.

This scene was like a duel between two martial arts masters in the martial world;

Although Wang Xiaole was not a martial arts leader, he had to intervene quickly to prevent the leaders of the divine sect and the demonic sect from hurting each other.

However, he had never experienced anything like this before and lacked experience. For the time being, he could only rely on wisdom from comics.

In situations where two girls were in conflict and resisting each other, there were actually quite a few scenes to choose from.

Since Wang Xiaole had read many comics, he quickly sorted out two classic ways to deal with this situation in his mind.

The first:

Quickly intervene between the two, smile and try to pull their hands apart, positioning himself as a barrier in the middle;

Although this method was effective, it often came with the risk of being mistreated on both ends, and it only had a short-term effect.

Okay, the first option was rejected.

Let's think about the second option:

Calm down, summon up his courage, and use a loud shout like a lion's roar to persuade the two girls to stop;

Many male protagonists in romance comics would do this;

However, in most cases, they would be ignored.

Wang Xiaole decided to choose the second option, but he didn't plan to shout foolishly;

He fully targeted the psychological characteristics of the girls and used a sentence to make the other person have to stop.

"In three seconds, anyone weighing 180 pounds or more will continue to keep their hands on the dining table! Three, two..."

Before he even finished counting "one," Lucia and Freya reflexively pulled their hands back, their expressions looking somewhat startled.

When it came to weight matters, for girls, it was as terrifying as a 3D horror movie.

It turned out that using the right method to mediate could often have the best effect.

But the effect was too good!

Wang Xiaole felt that the eyes around him were strange, so he turned his gaze and scanned half of the restaurant. He found that the effective range of that sentence was not just at Freya's table.

All the female customers within his line of sight had put their hands under the table. Some people even held their knives and forks, as obedient as a group of rabbits in a theme park.

(Whispering) "Oops, my shout was a bit too loud just now..."

Wang Xiaole realized his mistake and would remember to be more careful next time.

Those female customers around him were acting too meekly. What was going on with this cooperation?

Could the extras stop adding lines and scenes for themselves?

The two girls who indirectly caused an awkward atmosphere in the restaurant started to become restless again. They kept kicking each other's feet under the table;

The sound of their shoes knocking against each other was enough to create a symphony on the spot, with no intention of getting along friendly.

Ignoring the issue of race, Wang Xiaole believed that an important reason for their tense relationship was related to herself. They both wanted to prove a point: the other person's conscience had completely decayed from its roots! It was like two little girls in kindergarten who couldn't stand each other and wanted to report to the teacher (Wang Xiaole) while declaring themselves as "good kids" and hoping to drag their opponent into the abyss. However, Wang Xiaole couldn't quite understand: is there an inevitable connection between proving good or bad and taking action? Fortunately, once she understood their current demands, things became much easier.

Wang Xiaole, determined to resolve the conflict between the gods and demons in her own way, said, "Sia, Freya, I want to talk to you about something." The table in the restaurant was a square table with four corners on all sides, which could easily accommodate four people. After thinking for a moment, Wang Xiaole decided to sit next to Lucia; without waiting for the goddess in front of her to raise her eyebrows, she made an important decision to both her and the girl next to her. "Both of you will live with me from now on!"

This decision was not made impulsively; on the contrary, the person involved had thought it through thoroughly. First of all, Freya couldn't be left behind, right? She was weak and had nowhere to go. Moreover, she was easy to deceive, and without someone looking out for her, she could easily be sold off and help count the money. Furthermore, having girls nagging in her ear and emphasizing words like "irresponsible" and "abandonment" would make Wang Xiaole feel like she was the bad guy. After weighing all these factors, the only option was to bring the other person with her.

Living with Lucia was part of a previous agreement, and it was something they couldn't go back on. However, the more urgent issue than living under the same roof was how to eliminate their respective opinions. "I'm sorry, but I don't want to live with a despicable and shameless race!" "What a coincidence, I also detest breathing the same air as the demon race!" Wang Xiaole had already anticipated the fundamental disgust the two of them had towards each other. Since he dared to propose the idea of living together, he must have already known how to persuade the two girls.

For this, he needed to break them down one by one. He first took Freya aside alone, paying close attention to whether Lucia was following them, and when he made sure there was no one else around, he whispered, "I don't simply want to live together, but to expose the true face of the Demon King!" According to Wang Xiaole, he had long suspected that Lucia had ill intentions, but he lacked evidence, so it wasn't convenient to drive her away. Only by living together, by living in close proximity where he could see her at any time, would he have a chance to expose the Demon King's disguise. For this, he needed a kind, intelligent, and reliable companion. The only candidate besides Freya was out of the question.

"It's all for justice. Please, help me this once!" The goddess, who happened to have no place to go, immediately relieved herself upon hearing such a cunning explanation. She had no doubt that this was the other person's strategy. "I promise you, but remember...you must provide enough delicious food every day."

For the sake of justice, the two good comrades clasped each other's hands!

Having dealt with the first one, the second one shouldn't pose much difficulty either.

Although Lucia's intelligence is equivalent to ten Freyas, the demon king in love is blind and it is not difficult to impress her;

Compared to what he had told Freya earlier, the words that Wang Xiaole was now uttering were only slightly altered:

"Do you know? I have done all of this to prove that you are right; because I believe in you! I believe that Lucia is very kind..."

It's true expression of affection, but while Wang Xiaole believes in Lucia, he also believes in Freya;

Using clever phrasing, he successively proved his trust in both the goddess and the demon king;

This approach effectively splits a phrase of trust into two parts, ensuring that the crucial parts of his words are all true!

"For our future, Lucia, please cooperate. It doesn't matter how much you argue with the goddess in the future, as long as you agree to us living together later."

Living in the same house with her beloved is Lucia's biggest dream, and now this dream is about to come true;

She doesn't need to give much, at most, she just has to endure occasional disruptions to her mood from a certain goddess;

When weighing the pros and cons, Lucia ultimately feels that it's worth it and agrees to her lover's proposal.

Having been convinced by the same person, they both express pity towards their opponent in their hearts.

Lucia's thoughts at this moment:

Poor goddess, your temptations and instigations are futile, my dear always stands by my side;

You are just someone who is constantly deceived and clueless, nothing more than a little fool!

Freya's thoughts at this moment:

Stupid demon king, it seems that your confusion has no effect whatsoever, you cannot deceive someone who walks towards the light;

You foolishly thought you had succeeded, but little did you know, I have gained the utmost trust!

Speaking impartially:

Wang Xiaole doesn't deliberately side with anyone, and only "harmony" is his ally when necessary.

With this, the plan for cohabitation is put into action, and Wang Xiaole is willing to make a vow in his heart:

He has no evil intentions, just hoping to live together with the two beautiful girls in the nearest place, fulfilling the dream he had as a young man;

It has nothing to do with his current state, and only purely aims to achieve the dream he had before, when he was still a man...

The general direction of living together has been decided; the remaining question is where to live.

Living in the demon king's castle would have been a good option, but doing so would attract too much attention, which doesn't match Wang Xiaole's preference for a quiet life;

Instead of living in a place that would make him uncomfortable due to its size, he would rather spend some time and effort to find a new house.

After settling the bill and making sure they were not followed by the female shop owner, he led the two of them to the housing agency in the city.

Since the beginning of winter, the night has been as chilling as the water in a winter pond, simply being here emits a bone-chilling cold;

The extremely low temperature, accompanied by the swishing sound of the wind, forcefully proclaims the late hour.

The staff running the agency, whether they are diligent or working late, have yet to go to sleep, and the main door leading inside has been partially open all this time;

Wang Xiaole politely entered the lobby and sat across from the staff member;

On the clean desk, without the need for coffee or snacks, both parties sat down in a proper manner, aiming straight for the core of the conversation.

"May I ask if there are any vacant rooms available at the moment, with sufficient space and not too expensive, either for rent or for sale?"

Wang Xiaole thought that tonight would be peaceful, but he was mistaken. Some things were just beginning!
