On the Ark.

Hermes looked at Lin Ye with a slight sense of helplessness: "Ansel is right. It is indeed difficult for our pharmaceutical team to spare any people after Shining and Nightingale were transferred."

No wonder I haven't seen any nightingales; they've been transferred.

Lin Ye was a little disappointed; he had originally wanted to come and chat with Nightingale.

“As for me, I certainly can’t go with you.” Himer spread his hands. “I have to stay here to take care of Ifrit, and Ifrit can’t go to Sherag.”

Lin Ye replied with a hint of helplessness, "I understand."

He never expected this, that no girl would be willing to go to Kjerag with him… no, no one could go to Kjerag with him. This made things difficult. The Rhodes Island delegation to Kjerag, besides Cliffheart, Snowscaping, and Cliffheart (who were originally from Kjerag), consisted of only him and Lappland. What was going on? He had never seen such a shabby delegation before.

Lin Ye sighed softly, while pondering where to recruit people, and moreover, how to recruit suitable people...

“I can go.” Just as he was pondering, a rather clear female voice rang out behind him.

Someone actually agreed to go with him?!

Lin Ye was overjoyed and immediately turned around: "Great, great, you are..."

But seeing no one, he was taken aback.

"Look down, big guy." A calm voice.

Lin Ye lowered his head and saw a person—a boy with short pink hair, blue eyes, a pair of large animal ears, and a not-too-long tail.

In terms of height, he should only be a little over 1.4 meters tall, shorter than Amiya.

Himer then noticed the newcomer and looked surprised: "Susuluo, when did you get back?"

“I’ve been back for over ten minutes,” said the boy called Susuluo, “but none of you have seen me.”

The white-faced owl came over again and patted Susuluo's head: "There's nothing we can do, it's all Dr. Lin's fault for talking here."

Lin Ye: "..."

Susuluo looked up at Lin Ye and said, "I can go with you."

"Um...are you a medic?"

“Yes,” Sussuro said calmly. “Aside from my height, which I’m not really good at, I’m fine in other aspects. I’ve already looked at the prescription for the medicine you’re taking to Sherag. I know the effects and ingredients of all the medicines on it because I’ve prepared them before.”

Susuluo was wearing a pure white medical gown, even the smallest size, which was still a bit too big on him.

He looked like a primary school student on his way home from school, but his words were quite mature, which Lin Ye found very interesting. So Lin Ye smiled and nodded: "Okay, of course you're welcome to go if you want."

Susuru nodded: "Thank you, when?"

"We're leaving tomorrow," Lin Ye asked. "Did you just get back to the island? Don't you need to rest?"

“No need, it’s just this much, and I also want to go and see Shelag,” Sussuro said.

Yes, yes, that's it! He's clearly just a little kid, but he insists on speaking like an adult! So cute.

Although he was a little disappointed that no girl accompanied him, having such a cute little boy with him seemed nice enough. Moreover, Lin Ye felt that Su Suluo gave him a very familiar feeling, a feeling he couldn't put into words at first. It wasn't until Su Suluo left and Ansel urged Lin Ye to hurry back that he realized where this sense of familiarity came from.

The same pink hair, the same delicate, almost feminine face, and the same gender—male. Isn't this just a miniature version of Ansel? Even the tone of his voice is similar.

Lin Ye looked at Su Suluo's back, then glanced at Ansel, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Ansel looked at Lin Ye warily: "What are you laughing at?"

"Nothing?" Lin Ye shook his head.

"Tsk, I have a feeling you're thinking about something really wicked," Ansel said coldly. "But you'd better not let me know."

"Mmm, don't worry, I won't let you... uh, I mean, how could I possibly think of anything immoral?" Lin Ye said with a smile. "I just think that child looks a lot like you."

"Looks a lot like me?" Ansel frowned. "You mean Sussuro?"

"Yes."

“She’s not a child anymore; she’s not much younger than you.”

"Age doesn't matter, just look at his height and face. He's a cute boy."

“A cute boy?” Ansel’s expression was strange. “What are you talking about? Sussuro is a girl.”

Lin Ye: "?"

Chapter 219 Boys and Girls

"What are you thinking about?" Nightingale's slightly puzzled voice brought Lin Ye out of his thoughts. "The soup has already been poured out."

Lin Ye then came to his senses. He had originally intended to drink the soup with a spoon, but as he ladled it out, he remembered the little girl named Su Suluo and forgot to drink it. By the time Nightingale reminded him, most of the soup had already spilled.

"You seem very distracted," Shining asked. "Have you been possessed?"

Possession has even begun... Could it be that this world also has online novels?

Lin Ye was speechless. Faced with Nightingale and Flash's curious gazes, he decided to complain to them as well.

"Do you know that little girl named Susuluo in the pharmaceutical group of the medical department?"

“Sussurro? I know her.” Shining nodded.

Nightingale nodded and said, "Oh, so you were thinking about the little girl."

Lin Ye nodded, then felt something was off. He felt that Nightingale's words were strange, even though there was nothing wrong with the content.

“I mean, that Su Suluo is actually a girl,” Lin Ye said. “I originally thought she was a boy.”

“So what you wanted was a little boy,” Nightingale said.

Lin Ye couldn't help but glare at Nightingale, who nonchalantly picked up a biscuit and started munching on it, leaving him quite helpless.

"Don't make me sound like a pervert," Lin Ye said. "I just think that Susuluo looks like a cute little boy, similar to Ansel."

“I understand.” Shining nodded again. “You think Ansel is a cute little boy.”

Lin Ye was furious: "You two, that's enough! The way you talk, are you demons?!"

Shining and Nightingale nodded simultaneously.

"That's us."

"Otherwise what?"

Lin Ye couldn't help but facepalm. He'd almost forgotten that the people he was talking to were indeed two complete, genuine demons. He regretted having come to eat with two demons at the same time. He could barely handle Shining and Nightingale's individual ways of speaking, but with both of them together, it was truly unbearable. Especially Nightingale; after fully recovering, she had initially been a naive and innocent girl, but she was slowly reverting to her former mischievous self—he didn't know if that was a good thing or a bad thing.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Lin Ye decided to skip the topic of the little boy and the little girl.

"I heard you were transferred to the R&D team?" Lin Ye asked Nightingale.

“Hmm.” Nightingale nodded, then said, “There are no cute little boys there.”

Lin Ye: "..."

Shining smiled. "There are quite a few pretty little girls."

Lin Ye: "..."

Having nothing to say, Lin Ye quickly finished the soup in his bowl, then stood up and said, "I'm full, I'm leaving."

Lin Ye had thought Nightingale and Shining would try to persuade him to stay, but it turned out he was wrong. Shining smiled at him, while Nightingale just grunted and didn't move. Lin Ye stood there for nearly ten seconds, holding his bowl. He did have the urge to turn around and leave, but the thought of going to Sherag tomorrow and not knowing when he would have dinner with Nightingale again made him reluctant to leave. So he coughed twice.

"Never mind, I'll just keep you company and talk to you."

Then he sat down again.

Nightingale raised her hand: "Look, a cute little boy."

Lin Ye's lips twitched slightly: "That's enough, Liz."

“I’m serious, Sussuruo.”

Lin Ye turned around and found that it was indeed the little girl named Su Suluo whom he had seen in the pharmaceutical group before. At the moment, she was standing on tiptoe by the cafeteria window, pointing at the menu and talking to the cafeteria chef.

"Liz, can you remember everyone now?" Shining asked Nightingale.

Lin Ye then turned his head back and looked at Nightingale.

Nightingale hummed in agreement: "I basically won't forget anyone I've had contact with."

"That's good then." Shining nodded, then looked at Lin Ye, "Lin Ye, I heard you're going to Sherag?"

"Yes."

Finally, we're getting to the point. Lin Ye prayed in his heart that the words "little boy" and "little girl" wouldn't appear in the following conversation.

“Sherag, that’s wonderful,” Shining said softly. “I’ve heard about that place a long time ago.”

"A long time ago?"

"Yes, before joining Rhodes Island."

“You Sarkaz people know about Shelag?” Lin Ye said. “I had never heard of this country when I was in Chernobog. I only found out it was a small country after I came here.”

“That’s true, but compared to Shelag, we Sarkaz are more interested in something special about Shelag.”

"Something special?" Lin Ye asked curiously.

“Yes.” Shining nodded and said seriously, “That is the god of Kjerag.”

...To describe God as a thing, is that really befitting a demon swordsman? If Snowfall, Cliffheart, and Horn Peak heard this from the Kjerag people, would they be so angry that they would duel Shining?

However, upon closer reflection, it's impossible for a demon swordsman who fought his way out of the battlefield to have any reverence for the gods.

"Does Sherag really have a god?" Nightingale asked, somewhat curious.

Shining nodded slightly: "I've heard that there are, real gods, not some fictional totem."

"What would that be like?"

“I don’t know either, I’ve never seen it before. And the Sarkans who believe in God probably wouldn’t allow us Sarkaz to enter their country.” Shining smiled slightly. “So I’ll have to ask you for help, Dr. Lin Ye.”

"...What do you want me to do?"

"Go see the God of Shelag."

“That makes sense.” Nightingale nodded and said seriously, “If possible, please take a picture of him; I’d like to see it too.”

Lin Ye sighed helplessly, "Do you guys want me to be beaten to death by the Sherag people? Taking pictures of God, how could you even think of that?"

Nightingale and Shining both laughed.

After the three finished eating, they didn't leave immediately but chatted for a while longer. On a whim, Lin Ye asked Shan Ling about swordsmanship.
