Today happened to be the weekend, and Liang Yue, free from school, finished a quick breakfast and refocused his attention on the village's construction.

At this moment, he was holding a pickaxe, carefully traversing the edge of the pagoda library's roof.

After a series of quick taps and strikes, he created windows in the middle of the surrounding stone walls.

The window's exterior was also fitted with a ring of purely decorative wooden railings.

Subsequently, the eight ridged corners of the pagoda building were also dismantled and replaced with raw black oak logs by Liang Yue.

Believe it or not, after this simple and crude modification, the originally rigid octagonal trapezoidal pillars now possessed a touch of elegance and refinement when viewed from afar.

After pondering for a while with a shake of his head, Liang Yue looked around at this moment, taking in all the nooks and crannies of the library.

After confirming that he couldn't make further modifications to this place with his current abilities, he turned and left the room.

In the following time, Liang Yue once again took out the pickaxe, bending over and diligently cultivating the ground in the village.

Soon, a canal took shape, connecting to the big river outside the village.

Slowly, with the help of buckets, a stream of fresh water was introduced.

Subsequently, under Liang Yue's guidance, the water circled the walls around the village's edge, eventually forming a moat.

After finishing that, this guy still felt a bit unsatisfied.

So, he once again raised the pickaxe, swinging it wildly, and in a short while, he carved out a circular pool in the central location of the village.

In the middle of the pool, he also placed a piece of Taihu stone of the highest quality, obtained from the home of a certain Qing Dynasty noble...

After washing his face with the clear, bottomless pool water, Liang Yue subconsciously looked up at the sky.

Unbeknownst to him, it was already late morning in the stronghold world, with the scorching sun high in the sky.

"Crap!"

He cursed inwardly, and then quickly, with a thought, he flashed back to the real world.

After quickly taking a shower, cleaning up his personal hygiene, and changing into the outfit he had prepared last night...

Liang Yue quickly ran to his Hummer, stepped on the gas, and hurried out!

...

"Nine thirty ~ Half an hour earlier than the agreed time, not bad!"

After rushing all the way, when Liang Yue parked his car and hurriedly arrived at the most bustling commercial district in Brooklyn, only ten minutes or so had passed since he left.

However, today was, after all, Liang Yue's first date with Elizabeth, and as a fellow man, it was right to arrive a little earlier than the woman.

In order to not look out of place standing next to that royal noblewoman, he had specially made a trip to a high-end clothing store a couple of days ago, asking the shop assistant to put together two sets of clothes that he could wear to formal occasions.

There was no other way; at Liang Yue's current age, when he should be focused on his studies, there was simply no need to wear anything too nice in China.

In school, he wore a uniform, and at home after school, or when going out to play, it was either a T-shirt or a shirt, and at most, he would buy a nicer coat in the autumn and winter.

After arriving in New York, Aunt Liu did accompany him to buy several high-end goods.

Unfortunately, in the following period, Liang Yue grew rapidly from around 1.75 meters to his current height of 1.84 meters.

To the point that now, even when going on a date with a female classmate, he still had to groom himself.

And in order to create a bit of a surprise atmosphere for Elizabeth when they met.

Before Liang Yue left the stronghold world, he even specially cut a red rose with six budding flowers from the flowerbed in the village.

Intending to take advantage of the convenience of the storage space to perform a magic trick of creating something from nothing in front of this little girl ~

He just didn't know if his little trick would work in front of a genuine royal princess...

What Liang Yue didn't expect was that before he could give his little gift, the other party surprised him first.

"Ahem ~ Ms. Elizabeth, you are a full hour and a half late ~"

In front of this woman, Liang Yue pretended to look at the non-existent watch on his wrist, glancing back and forth between this blonde girl and his wrist a few times.

With the system by his side, he naturally knew very well that the time was now eleven thirty in the morning.

In order to show enough sincerity in this date, Liang Yue had been waiting at the agreed location for a full two hours!

However, looking at the blonde beauty standing prettily in front of him at this moment, covering her mouth and giggling, he seemed to have no choice but to helplessly accept his fate, hoping for a better outcome later.

"Snap ~!"

"Here, for you ~"

Accompanied by a crisp snap of his fingers, the red rose with its competing blooms suddenly appeared in Liang Yue's hand.

Then, he stretched out his hand and presented it to the woman in front of him.

Sure enough, Elizabeth's crystal-clear eyes lit up instantly when she saw the rose.

Subconsciously leaning forward, she smelled the fiery red petals, and a look of intoxication immediately appeared on her beautiful face.

"Thank you, this flower seems a bit unusual... Ah!"

"What's wrong?"

"Liang Yue! Don't you know to remove the thorns before giving roses?"

"Oh? I forgot ~ Hehe hehe!"

"You ~ Ugh..."

...

Seeing the blonde girl's appearance of about to erupt, Liang Yue hurriedly took the lead and hugged her in his arms, pressing his big mouth onto her pouting pink lips in time.

The comings and goings of people around them did not disturb the intimacy of the two at this moment.

The noisy voices seemed to have become beautiful background notes at this moment, and even time seemed to slow down at this moment.

"Grumble..."

After a long time ~

The wailing sound of Liang Yue's stomach twisting in his abdomen interrupted the two's selfless enthusiasm.

At this moment, Elizabeth, with her fair little fist, lightly hammered this guy's ribs, glared at him with annoyance, and then smiled and leaned against his chest.

Liang Yue subconsciously rubbed his stomach, and awkwardly twitched the corner of his mouth.

"I ate breakfast before, how did I digest it so quickly?"

"Inhale ~ Exhale ~"

"I'm hungry too, let's go get something to eat first."

Elizabeth raised her head from his chest, with two pink blushes on her cheeks, took a deep breath, and bit her lip while tidying the hair in front of her forehead.

"Yeah ~ What do you want to eat?"

Liang Yue asked, helping the woman to tidy her collar.

"Anything's fine, how about that place over there?"

Elizabeth looked around at this time, and then pointed to a restaurant across the road that seemed to have a nice environment.

Following the direction of the woman's finger, Liang Yue glanced at the signboard of that shop and immediately nodded.

"German restaurant? Okay, I heard that German cuisine is a bit like our Chinese Northeastern cuisine, the taste should be good ~"
