After watching Tony and the others leave, Kino was about to take a well-deserved rest. However, as soon as he turned around, he saw an unexpected figure standing there.
"Xi? What are you doing outside?" Kino raised an eyebrow as he looked at the small and delicate figure.
"Um... Young Master, Mistress brought me out here."
Xi lowered her head, nervously twisting the hem of her clothes. Her voice was as soft as a whisper, and she had just told a lie to the Young Master.
"Kino, let's go shopping with Xi tomorrow. Let her stay here for the night," Venom clung to Kino's arm and playfully suggested.
Pamela nodded in agreement, adding, "Yes, dear. Xi has been working so hard lately. She deserves to relax."
Kino chuckled, "I never said I was against it. I was just surprised. But yes, Xi, you have indeed worked hard during this time."
"It's not hard work. Serving you is my honor, Young Master," Xi said firmly, lifting her gaze to meet his.
Kino smiled warmly. "No need to be so formal. Just enjoy yourself tonight and have fun tomorrow."
Xi's face lit up with a bright smile. "Thank you, Young Master! Thank you, Mistress!"
Kino then turned to Damian and spoke with concern, "Damian, you should also start resting earlier. Understand?"
"Godfather, I always go to bed early," Damian said, puffing out his chest with confidence.
Kino smirked and reached out to pinch Damian's cheek teasingly. "Then what's with those dark circles under your eyes?"
Damian flinched before mumbling, "Well... okay, Godfather. I may have stayed up a little late recently."
Pamela suddenly remembered something, her expression darkening. "Stark bought Damian a gaming console a while ago. Damian, have you been sneaking out of bed at night to play? I'm confiscating it for a while."
Damian panicked for a moment, but seeing Pamela's serious expression, he quickly lowered his head. "I'm sorry, Pamela Mom."
In the League of Assassins, emotions were always suppressed, but in this warm and peaceful life, Damian was gradually opening up.
"It's okay, Pamela. Kino used to do the same thing," Venom teased as he gently soothed Pamela's frustration.
Kino chuckled and addressed Damian. "Alright, I won't take it away this time. Pamela is just worried about your health. If children don't sleep properly, they won't grow tall. You wouldn't want to only reach Bruce's opponent's knees when fighting, would you?"
Damian imagined that scenario and immediately nodded seriously. "I understand, Godfather. I won't stay up late again."
"Good boy." Kino affectionately ruffled Damian's hair.
Talking to kids like Damian was easy. They understood the difference between right and wrong and had strong self-discipline.
"Pamela, take Damian for a bath. I'll be waiting for you in the room," Kino said with a playful wink, his gaze full of meaning. That familiar scent of floral nectar was always irresistible.
Pamela's face flushed slightly. She rolled her eyes at Kino but smiled tenderly. "You never take things seriously," she scolded before picking up Damian and heading upstairs.
"Xi, can you help me?" Pamela called out.
"Ah? Yes, Mistress!" Xi snapped out of her daze and quickly followed.
"I'm sorry, Pamela Mom. I let you down," Damian said softly.
"I'm not disappointed, just worried about your health. As punishment, you'll have to drink half a glass of milk every morning," Pamela replied, her tone firm but caring.
"Yes, Pamela Mom."
As their voices faded upstairs, Kino turned to Venom, his gaze filled with expectation.
"Don't forget what you promised me."
Venom smirked. "Don't worry, I'll make sure you're satisfied. But first, we need to take a proper bath."
"Together, of course." Kino grinned mischievously and eagerly pulled Venom toward the bathroom.

The night passed.
The sky outside was still a bit dark when Kino groggily opened his eyes. However, he quickly realized that he was unable to move. Looking down, he saw why.
On his left, Venom was tightly wrapped around him. On his right, Pamela was nestled against him. And in the middle, Xi was lying directly on top of him.
The wild and passionate memories of the previous night resurfaced vividly in his mind.
"For the first time, I actually feel exhausted," Kino muttered to himself. Ever since he acquired Logan's healing factor, he had assumed that his stamina was limitless.
But last night had proven him wrong. Even with a powerful physique, exhaustion was still possible.
"Young Master... more..." Xi murmured in her sleep, her small face rubbing against Kino's chest like a lazy kitten.
Are you a succubus or a shapeshifter? Kino mused to himself but made no attempt to move. Instead, he closed his eyes again and murmured, "Let's sleep a little longer."
A soft beam of morning light filtered through the window, casting a gentle glow over the messy bed.
"Mmm... Young Master?" Xi stirred, rubbing her sleepy eyes before turning to look at Kino's face. Then, like a small cat, she climbed up and planted a light kiss on his cheek.
"Xi, good morning," Kino greeted lazily, his voice tinged with drowsiness.
"Mmm!" Xi's body stiffened, her eyes widening in shock. This wasn't a dream!
"I-I'm sorry! I didn't mean to treat you like a bed, Young Master!" Xi flailed in a panic, trying to sit up.
As she scrambled to get up, Kino also sat up and smiled at her. "Weren't you quite bold last night? Why are you acting so shy now?"
Xi covered her face in embarrassment and mumbled, "Young Master, I was out of line last night."
"It's fine. If anything, I think it was wonderful," Kino replied with a smirk. Though he generally preferred mature women, an occasional change of pace was enjoyable.
"As long as Young Master is pleased," Xi said in a hushed voice, still avoiding his gaze.
Kino then noticed the lingering traces of last night on her body.
"You must feel sticky and uncomfortable. Let's take a bath," Kino said, scooping Xi into his arms and carrying her toward the bathroom.
Turning on the warm water, Kino carefully washed Xi's hair, gently lathering soap over her delicate frame before placing her into the bathtub to soak.
Xi sighed in contentment, enjoying the care she was receiving. Finally, I am his...
Then, as Kino finished washing her, she turned to him with an eager expression.
"Young Master, let me help you."
"Alright, scrub my back for me."
At first, Xi obediently rubbed his back, but before long, her hands started to wander elsewhere.
"Xi..." Kino sighed, knowing where this was going.
"You looked like you were in discomfort, Young Master," she whispered shyly yet mischievously.
"You do realize this means you'll have to bathe again, right?"
"I don't mind," Xi said, her cheeks flushed.
