“Master, I want spicy crayfish, boiled cabbage, roast duck, wondrous stew, supreme prawns, heavenly shark fin, sweet and sour ribs, premium abalone, braised beef, cheese-baked lobster—ouch!”

Before Little Blue could finish her enthusiastic list, Yaeger flicked her forehead. “Stop! Are you trying to bankrupt me?”

Spicy crayfish and sweet and sour ribs were reasonable enough, but heavenly shark fin and premium abalone? The mere thought of their extravagant names sent shivers down Yaeger’s spine.

It wasn’t that Yaeger couldn’t afford fine dining, but with the voracious appetites of the three eaters at home, her bank account would be emptied in no time.

“Master, I want new clothes!” Vera 17 tugged at Yaeger’s skirt, her voice filled with anticipation.

“Master, me too!” Vera 18 chimed in without missing a beat.

“Master, me three!” Little Blue rushed over, her excitement evident. ‘I’m the boss of these two brats. There’s no way I’ll fall behind!’ she thought triumphantly.

“Fine, fine. I’ll buy it all,” Yaeger said with a wry smile. They had been talking about food just moments ago, yet the conversation had somehow shifted to clothing. These girls truly were a handful—but undeniably adorable.

“Oh yeah!” The three little ones immediately swarmed Yaeger, hugging her tightly and nuzzling their faces against her.

‘Sob, sob… I, the mighty [E-Fairy], have been reduced to acting cute just to get new clothes,’ Vera 17 and 18 lamented inwardly as they snuggled closer.

Though they had accepted Yaeger as their master, adapting to this new dynamic was still a challenge for them. Who could have imagined that the infamous [E-Fairy], a figure who once prowled the Internet, would have clones reduced to such a state?

It was pitiful, weak, and more than a little tragic.

“Alright, that’s enough. Stop rubbing!” Yaeger said, pulling them off her. She then turned to Little Blue. “Check if the nearby malls are still open. I need to do some shopping.”

By this hour, most stores were likely closed. Still, Yaeger wanted to double-check before heading out. Better safe than sorry—a principle Yaeger knew well and always adhered to.

After a quick check, Little Blue reported, “Most of them are closed. Master, do you want to go to the nearest one or the furthest?”

“The biggest one,” Yaeger replied decisively. In addition to buying clothes for the three, she intended to pick up kitchen supplies and food ingredients. Since smaller malls often lacked variety, the largest one was the obvious choice.

“Understood. Shall I teleport you there now, Master?” Little Blue asked, tapping the virtual screen.

“Yes, let’s go now. Make sure to bring back the larger appliances first; we can handle the smaller ones later,” Yaeger instructed.

“Understood. Teleportation commencing now,” Little Blue said as her eyes flickered with light. In the next instant, Yaeger vanished in a burst of white light.

Yaeger materialized in the middle of a dark, deserted mall.

“Infrared cameras? How annoying,” Yaeger muttered as her sharp eyes quickly spotted numerous surveillance devices. “Well, no matter. You’re taking the night off,” Standing on her tiptoes, Yaeger began disabling the infrared cameras with precise movements.

Within minutes, every camera in the shopping mall had been covered with thick cloth, rendering them completely ineffective. While destroying them outright would have been simpler, Yaeger opted for a gentler approach, mindful that she was here to shop, not cause unnecessary damage.

“It doesn’t look like they sell walk-in freezers here. I guess I’ll have to settle for a few large refrigerators,” Yaeger murmured, adjusting her expectations. After browsing through the electronics section, Yaeger confirmed there were no walk-in freezers in stock.

Upon further reflection, she realized it was unreasonable to expect a standard shopping mall to carry industrial-grade equipment like that.

“Bison and Higher. These two brands should do,” she decided after inspecting the available options. After jotting down the prices on her phone, Yaeger instructed Little Blue to teleport five large refrigerators back home.

With that many refrigerators, storing enough food to last several days wouldn’t be an issue. Making a food run every few days would be far less troublesome. At any rate, it was a significant improvement over buying food several times a day.

Besides, Yaeger had a feeling that her frequent shopping trips might eventually raise red flags with the stores. Even though she always paid in full without issue. Such unusual behavior was bound to attract unwanted attention sooner or later.

With the kitchen appliances taken care of, Yaeger moved on to shopping for food ingredients. This part was much simpler—she simply cleared entire shelves, dumping everything into her cart without hesitation.

‘It’s a blessing my little ones aren’t picky eaters,’ she thought, amused.

Before long, a small mountain of food ingredients had accumulated around her. Little Blue activated the teleportation sequence, causing the pile of groceries in front of Yaeger to vanish instantly.

“Next up, I need to pick out some cute clothes for them. Oh, and shoes too,” Yaeger reminded herself.

Yaeger typically found shopping to be a tedious waste of time, but when it came to picking out clothes for her little companions, she felt nothing but excitement. “Hehe, what style should I pick for them? Gothic? Kids’ costumes? Maybe uniforms? Forget it—I’ll just grab everything that looks cute!” she decided with a mischievous grin.

Meanwhile, within the game world…

“I finally reached Level 10. That was tougher than I expected,” Pixie sighed, standing in front of the teleportation formation with a look of relief. If her peers overheard her remark, they would surely be overcome with envy—or perhaps even cough up blood in frustration.

Reaching Level 10 in such a short time was a feat most players could only dream of. What more could she ask for? Of course, her rapid progression was thanks to Yaeger’s guidance—and the undeniable influence of money.

To Pixie, any problem that money could solve wasn’t a problem at all.

“Hehe, Princess, I’m on my way to see you!” Pixie’s expression shifted instantly, a bright smile lighting up her face. With a confident stride, she stepped into the teleportation formation.

A brilliant flash of white light engulfed her moments later as waves of spatial energy radiated outward.

“Huh? Wait a second. Didn’t Princess mention that someone with an overly powerful Bloodline might—” Before she could finish her thought, the teleportation process had already begun.

Some time earlier… In the Flame Dragon Empire, a blazing valley engulfed in roaring flames…

“Ahhh!” Rakshasa gripped a glowing crimson greatsword in both hands and swung it fiercely at the elegant woman in the red dress before her—Dragon Empress Hera.

The greatsword, powerful enough to cleave a boulder in two, unleashed a surge of crimson blade energy—but it didn’t even scratch Hera’s translucent barrier. The clash of metal reverberated through the fiery valley.

“That’s not enough. Your attack is too weak. Put your full strength into it,” Hera said, her tone calm and indifferent.

“Yes, Master!” Rakshasa replied with fervor, her respect for Hera clearly deepened since their last encounter. However, her voice still carried a slight awkwardness, as though unaccustomed to the word.

It was almost as if speaking was still unfamiliar to her.

“[Heavenly Dragon Flash]!” Rakshasa vanished mid-sentence, her figure dissolving into a blur.

As expected, Hera glanced upward to see Rakshasa reappear mid-air, her body engulfed in roaring flames, resembling a goddess of fire. Rakshasa poured all her strength into a rapid descent, the flames surrounding her forming a massive crimson dragon with its jaws wide open, ready to consume Hera.

“Your strength and speed are commendable, but your flame control still needs work. I’d give you ninety points…” Hera remarked, her voice measured. Before finishing her sentence, Hera’s expression darkened as she sensed something unusual. With a single gesture, she effortlessly dispersed the fiery dragon.

With a sweep of her aura, she pulled Rakshasa toward her in an instant.

“Master?” Rakshasa barely managed to steady herself before Hera seized her arm.

“Let’s go greet our new companion,” Hera said, a rare smile gracing her lips. Her expression radiated genuine joy.

Before Rakshasa could respond, the two vanished in a burst of red light infused with spatial energy.
