It was a beautiful, cloudless morning.

Steven came out of the tent and stretched.

He looked up into the sky and could not see anything.

He looked at the carpet, but there was no sign of Lydia.

Alice and Bella got up early, as usual, to tend to the farm.

Now that the farm was bigger, two-fifths of the land had been cleared.

Level 3 strawberries took about ten days or more to ripen.

With Alice’s help, they hoped to ripen it within ten days.

If they sold it, they could earn some money.

Then they could buy all kinds of tools to stop the first wave of monsters.

He took out his breakfast and ate it as he went to the farm.

Alice, Bella, and Lydia were busy on the farm.

Alice was checking the growth of each plant.

Bella was holding a bucket and watering the crops.

Lydia was squatting on the ground and watering, just like yesterday.

She looked up, saw Steven, and suddenly put her head back.

Alice trotted to him and smiled gently. “Master, you’re here.”

Steven reached out and rubbed his head. “Thank you for your hard work.”

“It’s not hard at all.” Alice smiled and shook her head.

Steven remembered something important. “There’s something I want to discuss with you.”

Alice said gently, “Please speak, Master.”

Steven looked around. “The farm is huge now, and we still need to build defensive facilities. Just a few of us won’t be enough.”

Alice blinked, and Bella came in front of them.

Lydia stopped and listened attentively.

Steven continued, “I want to summon one or two more fairies to help you, okay?”

“No, no!” Bella was the first to refuse.

Steven was surprised. He thought Alice would immediately object, but he did not expect Bella to react so strongly.

He laughed and looked at Bella. “Why are you reacting so strongly?”

Bella pouted. “When master summons a new fairy, he definitely won’t want us. Didn’t you say that you would wait for me to grow up? How can you change your mind?”

Steven explained, “I just saw that you guys are having a hard time, so we don’t have much time left.”

Bella said excitedly, “We can not rest and work hard all the time.”

At this point, Bella came in front of him and grabbed his wrist. “Master, can you not abandon us?”

Steven was speechless. Why did he say that he was abandoning us?

Alice already understood what was going on. She nodded and said, “Master, you can summon another one.”

“Alice?” Hearing this, Bella looked at Alice in surprise.

“We have a lot of things to do now. We do need master to summon another fairy,” Alice said in a low voice.

“You have to think carefully. If another fairy comes, it will definitely want master’s life essence. It will be complicated for you to get it.”

Steven raised his eyebrows. He had thought that they were concerned that he would fall in love with someone else.

It turned out that they were most worried about his life essence.

Why did he sound like a tool in their eyes?

Alice tilted her head helplessly. “I… master is too powerful now. I can’t take it. If I had a sister to share the burden with me, I would feel great.”

That was what Steven had been waiting for. He hugged Alice and kissed her on the cheek. “You know me best.”

Alice smiled even more brightly after being kissed.

Bella pouted in dissatisfaction when she saw that they had made up their minds.
