Chapter 371 - Chapter 371 The Benefits Of Being A Middleman

  …

  Hearing Ada's decisive tone, Shen Ye hummed indifferently.

  To be honest, there is only one candidate for the most suitable wife in his mind, and that is Aerith. Apart from the appearance and figure, the women around him are not bad. The main thing is that their personalities are very pleasing to Shen Ye, and they are considerate, can cook well, can fight, and are perfect.

  Of course, this can only be kept in the heart and not said out loud, otherwise it would not only offend Ada, but all women.

  After hearing what Ada said, Roberta sneered and said, "The most suitable wife? What can you do? Go back to your old job as a spy and tell tales?"

  "Before you ask me, ask yourself first, Miss Roberta." Ada crossed her arms and said disdainfully: "As a maid, you can't do anything well. You can't cook or do housework. I'm afraid that apart from fighting, you can only give birth to children. However, it seems that every woman can do this. Moreover, you may not be able to do better than me. After all..."

  As she said this, Ada glanced at Roberta's buttocks and shook her head, which was a double blow in terms of words and body.

  Speaking of which, Ada had lived in Roanapur with Shen Ye, Roberta and others for a period of time. She was deeply impressed by this maid who could not do housework and cooked badly. But at that time she just thought it was a bit funny that as a maid she could not do anything well. But now she used it as a weapon to attack Roberta.

  Sure enough, when Roberta heard what Ada said, she felt like she was struck by lightning. She stood there stiffly and her face turned pale, but she could not refute it because what Ada said was absolutely true.

  So Shen Ye stood up again and spoke for Roberta: "Roberta has tried very hard. Although her cooking is bad, I don't care. I can eat a lot every time. Although she is not good at housework, at least she won't throw dishes at every turn..."

  Shen Ye's voice became smaller and smaller. Well, it seemed as if he was confirming Roberta's shortcomings.

  After thinking for a while, Shen Ye quickly added: "Anyway, Roberta has tried very hard, I can see that, so she has always been the most perfect head maid in my mind."

  Including the androids, there are now several maids in the house, so Roberta's status as the head maid has been confirmed.

  "But I am still the most suitable wife for you." She didn't seize the opportunity before, but now Ada will definitely not miss it again. After all, her future position in the family depends on her own efforts.

  Roberta, whose confidence was rekindled by Shen Ye's words, was unwilling to be outdone: "Then I'll wait and see."

  "Remember to wipe it several times." Ada understood idioms, and she pointed to her eyes.

  Shen Ye was actually quite helpless about the war between women. He had always wanted to have a harem where everyone lived in harmony, but this was obviously impossible. With so many women in the family, it was normal to have some conflicts, and it was not a bad thing, because as a middleman, Shen Ye could always benefit from it.

  Just like Scarlet, Aerith and Tifa, they always quarrel over trivial matters, and then Scarlet will be besieged by Aerith and Tifa, and in the end Scarlet, who suffers the loss, can only ask Shen Ye for help. Then, as the middleman, Shen Ye can always get a lot of advantages, and even meet some small requests that are difficult to make under normal circumstances.

  This time was no exception. After the two women ended their verbal fight, Shen Ye appeased both sides, and then as expected, he gained some small benefits. It was a pity that he was in a foreign and dangerous place, otherwise he would not have gained some small benefits.

  …

  While they were arguing, they did not forget their business and started their journey to find Leon and Chris. Of course, only Shen Ye was interested in this matter, while Ada and Roberta were not interested at all. They did not care whether Leon and Chris were dead or alive.

  Before setting off, Shen Ye took a look at the sky, recalled the plot, and then took the three women out of the village square and set foot on the path leading to the manor.

  What is different from the game is that if two characters take the same path, they will encounter the same enemies due to the game mechanism. However, this is not a game, so the few people did not encounter any enemies along the way. They only saw corpses lying along the way, which were obviously dealt with by Leon and Chris.

  This made Shen Ye hesitate again. According to what he had seen and heard along the way, it seemed that Leon and Chris really didn't need his help.

  In this way, they walked all the way to the end of the trail without any obstructions, and came to a wooden suspension bridge.

  The wooden suspension bridge was severely damaged, but the main structure was still intact. However, it still slowed down their progress and it took them some time to cross the suspension bridge.

  As soon as they passed the suspension bridge, the four saw a giant and the bodies of many villagers lying on the ground. The surrounding wooden houses were also completely destroyed. It was obvious that a fierce battle had taken place here.

  However, none of the four had the desire to stay for a closer look, and after a brief pause, they continued walking forward.

  After walking for another ten minutes, they passed through a dense jungle, and then a castle with an ancient shape appeared in front of them.

  Looking at the castle in front of them, none of the three women exclaimed like those girls who had princess dreams. Instead, Shen Ye muttered, "It would be great if I could buy a castle like this in China. It wouldn't matter how many people lived in it. Everyone could have a room and maybe even a bathroom of their own. I could also..."

  Although he has bought a villa, Shen Ye still feels it is too small. There are no buildings like castles in the country. Even if there is a manor, it is only available in prosperous big cities. So when there are more women around him in the future, he plans to move to a big city.

  Of course, he also considered buying a piece of land in the suburbs of his city and then building a manor, but firstly, the procedures were difficult to approve, and secondly, building a manor would take a lot of time. It would be better to just buy it directly, do some casual decoration and move in.

  Thinking this way, Shen Ye led the three women into the castle.

  The terrain inside the castle was complicated, but Shen Ye had played games after all. Although he was not familiar with the route, at least he would not take the wrong path. Moreover, Leon and Chris had already entered the castle before them, and most of the mechanisms inside the castle had been dismantled. The few of them quickly found them through the traces left by Leon and Chris.

  Before finding them, Ada vomited and spit out an unhatched insect egg from her mouth, which meant that Leon and Chris had solved the mother body that infected Ada, the right hand, that is, Verdugo.
