My 100th Rebirth a day before the Apocalypse novel Chapter 957

Chapter 957: Chapter 955 Returning With A Haul

Even though she had plenty of points now, she didn’t know where she might need them in the future, and there were very few missions that could earn her more. Her Sales Channel was doing extremely well, but it was smarter to spend reasonably rather than recklessly.

She still needed system points to upgrade her equipment for inscribing and alchemy, so conserving them for essential uses made far more sense.

She also let 008 handle the remaining machinery registrations, as it was far faster than doing it manually herself, which would have taken at least an hour or so.

Although the STAUs were initially baffled by Kisha’s instructions, having to move all the way from the kindergarten’s courtyard to the road outside so they could take out the trucks from inside their spatial storage outside the road, they didn’t question her. They trusted her completely and followed her lead.

Meanwhile, Duke watched with interest, unable to stop smiling at how practical and convenient his wife’s territory interface was. Not only could they communicate through it without relying on satellites or phones, and monitor all their projects remotely, but now it could even handle rentals.

As long as the renter paid and the transaction was processed, Kisha’s territory space could manage nearly the entire process automatically.

Once Kisha was done, Duke slipped his arm around her small waist and murmured into her ear, "Wifey, you really are amazing..." He pressed a soft kiss to her cheek, his admiration completely unhidden.

Kisha giggled like a girl in love. After all, who doesn’t enjoy unexpected compliments? She simply basked in Duke’s affection.

Not long after, the two of them turned back, and Kisha said her goodbyes to her grandparents and little brother. She handed them life-saving talismans to use in case their lives were ever in danger, and after repeating her reminders one last time, she and Duke floated back into the sky.

Those who saw them flying couldn’t help but stare in awe, as if gazing upon gods and goddesses. In the process, Kisha inadvertently regained more Devotion points, which made her laugh uncontrollably as she and Duke ascended higher.

Then she took out a new set of teleportation scrolls, bought by 008 from the system mall, since she still needed to test the Teleportation scroll she had inscribed herself for safety. For now, she couldn’t use them on herself or Duke.

Or if something went wrong with the teleportation scroll she inscribed, she and Duke could be shredded to pieces by the distortions of time and space. And if that happened... who would she cry to? That is, if she even survived long enough to cry at all.

That was why she was in such a hurry to return home, to test this new scroll before continuing to inscribe more. She needed to know if it worked, or if there were flaws, and if so, where exactly the problem lay, so she could adjust it for the next scroll.

It would be a process of trial and error since no one was there to teach or mentor her; she had to figure it out on her own, following sparks of inspiration when they struck.

It would be tedious and risky, but once she mastered the art of making teleportation scrolls, the payoff would be enormous. Not only could she sell them in her Sales Channel to earn more system points and boost 008’s ranking, but she and her people could freely use teleportation to execute more dangerous plans, reshaping the apocalyptic world as they saw fit. Just thinking about it made her blood boil with excitement and her heart race.

Seeing her so giddy, Duke couldn’t help but smile dotingly beside her. His right arm curled protectively around Kisha’s small waist while his other hand rested casually in his pocket. He watched her shifting expressions with quiet adoration; no matter how long he looked at her, it never felt enough. There was always something new, something endlessly fascinating about her.

"Let’s go back home, wifey..." Duke murmured as he gently pinched the soft flesh at Kisha’s waist. The simple gesture made her heart feel warm and squishy, and a bright smile spread across her lips. She happily tore the Teleportation Scroll, and in the next instant, the familiar pull wrapped around them.

Their bodies felt as though they were being stretched and split apart, thrown through layers of time and space. The teleportation itself was quick, but the sensation made it feel as though they had spent an hour tumbling inside the currents of arcane force. It wasn’t the most pleasant ride, but it was undeniably the fastest.

After all, in all of Kisha’s previous 99 lives, this was the first and only time they had managed to open a store in the Sales Channel, and even sell an item. It felt like an unprecedented achievement across all their reincarnated lifetimes, a milestone neither of them had ever reached before.

And knowing exactly what Kisha was thinking, Duke didn’t try to linger by her side; he understood she had her own tasks to deal with as well.

After giving Kisha a goodbye kiss on the cheek, she thought Duke would finally leave, but he clearly wasn’t done with her yet. Before she could even blink, he leaned down and captured her lips, kissing her deeply, hungrily, as if he wanted to devour her whole. A low growl rumbled from his chest, revealing just how reluctant he was to part from her.

Only when he realized Kisha was struggling to breathe did he finally release her, pulling back with a smug, satisfied smile before striding away with a spring in his step.

Kisha, on the other hand, was left standing there breathless and slightly disheveled, her lips swollen from the intensity of his kiss.

"A rogue! He’s a rogue!" Kisha grumbled as she kicked a loose stone on the ground, her face burning crimson. Thank goodness no one had seen that kiss, because Duke had looked like a beast trying to devour her whole, as if he could never get enough of her. The mere thought made her blush even harder. The last thing she wanted was to be teased because of him.

Meanwhile, Duke, completely unfazed and far too pleased with himself, walked away with a spring in his step, humming under his breath. After stealing that kiss from his wife, he was in an exceptionally good mood as he strode toward the back of Villa #1 to return through the portal to the territory space.

Even though his head throbbed a little and a wave of dizziness hit him after the teleportation, Duke brushed it off easily. It was nothing compared to the warmth still lingering on his lips from kissing his wife.

That alone was enough to make the rest of his night feel perfect. All he had to do now was wait for Kisha to return to the territory space so they could finally rest together once they both finished their tasks.
