Monica softly said: "Master... this item is too precious."

Selina also, rarely without jokes, only nodded and said: "If used well, it can create a very powerful subordinate."

Rover didn’t contradict her.

That’s right.

If this thing were used to resurrect a powerful expert who had died, he could obtain an absolutely loyal subordinate. If luckier, that person could even receive a beneficial effect after resurrection.

But the problem was, he currently didn’t know of any powerful expert who had died and was worth using this item on.

He couldn’t just randomly find a corpse on the road and use it.

Too wasteful.

Rover held the [Eternal Heart] in his hand, sensing the very gentle beating from this item. A moment later, he suddenly thought of someone.

Not someone dead.

But Nanoe.

Or more precisely, Nanoe’s younger sister.

Before, Rover had known that Nanoe carried a very deep wound in her heart. She was always gentle, always knew how to take care of others, always smiled as if everything was within her calculations. But the calmer a person like Nanoe was, the more Rover understood that what could cause her pain was certainly not simple.

Her younger sister was one of those things.

Rover looked at the [Eternal Heart] for a moment, then opened the internal communication interface.

[Nanoe, come into the bedroom for a moment.]

Not long after the message was sent, the sound of very light footsteps came from outside.

The bedroom door opened.

Nanoe walked in.

She was no longer wrapped in the thin towel from before, but wearing a soft white nightgown. Her long brown hair fell down her back, a few strands falling in front of her chest, making her aura both gentle and alluring.

When she saw Rover sitting on the bed, with Monica and Selina beside him still looking somewhat disheveled, Nanoe paused slightly.

Then, she smiled.

"Rover, you called me in at this time?"

Her voice was very soft.

But in her eyes appeared a hint of teasing.

Monica immediately flushed, hurriedly pulling the blanket a bit higher. Selina felt no shame at all, on the contrary smiling at Nanoe as if waiting to see something amusing.

Rover looked at Nanoe’s expression and immediately knew what she was thinking.

He felt slightly helpless.

"What are you thinking?"

Nanoe slowly walked over to the side of the bed, slightly leaning down to look at him. The soft fragrance from her body drifted over, making Rover feel very comfortable.

"I was only thinking that my master just won the third round, perhaps in very good spirits, and so wanted me to come in here to have some fun together."

Rover: "..."

This woman was becoming better and better at talking.

Selina beside them immediately giggled.

Monica lowered her head, pretending she hadn’t heard anything.

Rover reached out to pull Nanoe closer. Nanoe also didn’t resist, very naturally sitting down beside him. Her gentle eyes looked at him like a wife waiting for him to state his request.

Rover looked at her for a moment.

Then leaned down and kissed her lips.

Nanoe was slightly stunned, but very quickly responded.

Her kiss was different from Selina’s.

Selina was passionate, direct, like she wanted to take everything.

Nanoe was much softer. She knew when to advance and when to retreat, knew when to be gentle, when to draw him deeper. Each movement seemed effortless, yet made it difficult for people to pull away.

A moment later, Rover finally released her.

Nanoe’s breathing was slightly rapid, her brown eyes covered with a thin mist. The moist corner of her mouth curved up.

"Just that?"

Rover looked at her.

"Of course not just that."

Nanoe laughed softly.

"Then I guessed right?"

"No."

Rover shook his head.

He brought the [Eternal Heart] before her.

"I want to give this to you."

At first Nanoe was still smiling.

But when her gaze fell upon the glass heart beating in Rover’s palm, that smile slowly disappeared.

She was a smart person.

Very smart.

Just from looking at this item, looking at its strange beating, she had already recognized that this was no ordinary thing.

Rover shared the information panel with her.

Nanoe read very quickly.

But after finishing, she fell silent for a very long time.

Monica and Selina both said nothing.

The entire room was quiet to the point that only the very faint beating of the [Eternal Heart] remained.

Thump.

Thump.

Thump.

Rover looked at Nanoe.

"I don’t know if it can immediately resurrect your younger sister. The system says it can search for traces of a soul within the bounds of the rules, which means there’s still the possibility of failure."

Nanoe said nothing.

Rover continued: "But if there truly is something in this world that can bring her back, I think this is the greatest opportunity we currently have."

Nanoe’s hand trembled slightly.

Very small.

But Rover still saw it.

From the time he met Nanoe until now, he had very rarely seen her lose composure. She was always gentle, intelligent, good at talking, good at controlling the emotions of others, and just earlier had even been able to use a few sentences to silence the entire apartment complex’s general chat channel.

But right now, that woman only stared fixedly at the [Eternal Heart], as if afraid that the moment she blinked, it would disappear.

Rover offered the item to her.

"Nanoe, I’m entrusting this to you to keep."

Nanoe raised her head to look at him.

In her brown eyes, a very thin layer of moisture had already appeared.

"Rover..."

Her voice trembled.

Just a little.

But for Nanoe, that was already too much.

Rover smiled and said: "Don’t look at me like that. I’m not so good-natured that I help everyone I see in a pitiful state. But you are my woman."

He paused for a moment, then continued: "I won’t be stingy with resources when it comes to my own people."

This sentence was very characteristic of Rover.

Not flowery.

Not righteous.

Not like a hero’s promise.

But for Nanoe, it was more precious than any sweet vow.

Because she knew what kind of person Rover was.

He was greedy.

He was pragmatic.

He was sometimes very wicked.

But precisely because of that, when he handed a Legendary item capable of resurrecting the dead to her, the weight of that action was heavy enough that Nanoe’s heart could almost not bear it.

Nanoe reached out her hand to receive the [Eternal Heart].

The moment the item touched her palm, the gentle red-white light illuminated her beautiful face.

A teardrop fell.

Then a second.

Nanoe suddenly embraced Rover tightly.

Very tightly.

Tight enough to seem like she wanted to press her entire body into his arms, as if letting go would shatter the hope she had just received like a dream.

Rover was slightly stunned.

Then, he raised his arms to hold her.

Monica looked at the scene, her eyes also going slightly red.

Selina was much quieter. She looked at Nanoe, not teasing, not speaking up to break the atmosphere.

Because even Selina understood.

This moment was not appropriate for jokes.

Nanoe buried her face in Rover’s chest, her shoulders trembling slightly.

She didn’t cry loudly.

Didn’t wail.

Didn’t say chaotic words.

But precisely that silence made her emotions even clearer.

Rover gently patted her back.

"Don’t cry."

Nanoe shook her head, but still didn’t release him.

Rover breathed out a long sigh.

He was truly not skilled at comforting women who were crying.

If it were Selina joking around, he could slap her on the backside. If it were Monica being embarrassed, he could tease her with a few more lines. If it were Morie calmly analyzing, he could directly talk about the benefits.

But with Nanoe crying like this, he was somewhat at a loss for what to do.

In the end, he could only say:

"If this thing can truly bring your younger sister back, then we will bring her back."

Nanoe held him even tighter.

A very long moment later, she finally spoke in a hoarse voice:

"Thank you..."

Rover lowered his head to look at her.

Nanoe raised her face, her brown eyes wet with moisture. Her face was still beautiful enough to make others feel heartache.

"Rover, thank you..."

Rover looked at her for a moment, then laughed softly.

"If you want to thank me, serving me better in the future will do."

Monica: "..."

Selina: "..."

The moving atmosphere immediately shifted slightly.

Nanoe also froze for a moment.

Then, she suddenly burst out laughing through her tears.

That smile was very beautiful.

Gentler than any time before.

She hugged Rover’s neck, taking the initiative to gently kiss his lips.

"Alright." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Nanoe’s voice was very soft.

But also very serious.

"From now on, I will serve you very well."

Rover felt this sentence sounded a bit dangerous.

But he didn’t object.

After all, the sense of danger coming from Nanoe usually came along with a great many benefits.

He liked benefits.

And liked Nanoe even more.

In Nanoe’s hand, the [Eternal Heart] was still slowly beating.

Thump.

Thump.

Thump.

Like a hope buried for a very long time, finally beginning to come back to life.
