"How can that be the same? Your and my physiological structures are not the same, and I really don't exercise often. It was me who was exhausted all night, not you."
With a disgruntled expression, Su Rui slowly finished her breakfast, pushed her plate aside, and slumped back onto the table.
He doesn't want to think about anything right now; he just wants to get a good night's sleep.
Honeysuckle wore an undisguised smile. After tidying up the plates and placing them in a special container, she picked up Suri amidst the envious gazes of the surrounding priestesses.
"Then I'll take Suri back with me."
Afterwards, Honeysuckle carried the sleeping Suri away, leaving Texas and Fox Master behind, who hadn't finished eating.
"...Your divine child is being exploited like this? Don't you even offer any thanks?"
Texas looked at the fox priest next to her.
"The Divine Child was just complaining a little. Ultimately, it's just a little pleasure between the Divine Child and his possession. Although I'm envious, I have no right to interrupt."
Fox Palace Master wasn't fooled. He just looked helplessly in the direction Su Rui and Honeysuckle had left and sighed.
"If only I were the vessel of the Divine Child."
"Me too." Texas didn't respond to that, and began to focus on the food in front of her.
The next period should be relatively peaceful. According to Texas's prediction, no matter how powerful Lady Sicily is, she won't be able to send anyone to the shrine in the East.
So, the rest of my life will probably be a peaceful one, playing games with Su Rui every day, occasionally going on some missions, and talking with Ren Dong.
Texas had that thought until a white-haired Luper woman appeared before her.
"Hello, a descendant of the Texas family."
"..." Texas didn't speak, but drew her weapon from her waist and looked at the woman in front of her warily. Even though she was alone, Texas couldn't help but feel nervous.
What's going on with Madame Sicily here? And she doesn't seem to have any followers with her, but even so, would she dare to directly provoke the shrine?
The shrine holds a high position in the eastern country... Does she have some kind of backing?
Texas's palms were sweating as she gripped her weapon, but the Sicilian woman in front of her simply smiled at her.
"Don't be nervous, I'm here to make a deal with the person behind you."
Noticing Mrs. Sicily's gaze, Texas cautiously stepped back, then looked behind her and found Suri standing there at some point.
Perhaps because the nine tails had a good sound-absorbing effect, Suri didn't make a sound when she walked barefoot in the shrine.
"I'm very tired right now, so you'd better get to the point."
Su Rui, who had just been exploited by Ren Dong all night and was now being woken up by the superior system to deal with things, was very unhappy. He had only slept for five hours.
If he weren't so weak in combat, he would have loved to pin the Sicilian woman down and elbow her hard in the face.
Volume 1: 55 I'm actually pretty good at fighting too.
"I have prepared a reception room. Please follow me."
The fox priest, who had been keeping a close eye on Su Rui's movements, appeared before them and led them with a smile to a room in the shrine.
Suri sat on the soft cushion, looking at the tea that the Fox Temple Master had placed in front of her with a puzzled expression.
A refreshing tea? No way, I'm going to sleep later.
Su Rui subconsciously wanted to put down the refreshing tea, but then he thought about it again. In his current state, even if he did fall asleep later, it seemed like he wouldn't be able to.
With this in mind, Suri still picked up his teacup and took a sip. Considering that there were still guests in front of him, he did not reach for the pastries, but stared intently at Madame Sicily sitting opposite him with his scarlet eyes.
"So, is there something you want to tell me?"
"Of course, it's about the Texas family."
“You’ve already gotten what you wanted: the method for building mobile cities, and your authority. The Texas family only has this one person left. Are you sure you want to cause trouble for this person?”
Suri didn't want to listen to Madame Sicily's complicated conditions, so he directly recited the script that the superior system had taught him.
Although he is not good at intellectual battles, there are others who are.
"Of course, that's what I wanted to say."
Madame Sicily did not show any displeasure at Suri's somewhat rude attitude; she simply smiled and said:
“I can let Texas go, and Syracuse will not continue to track her life afterward.”
"So, what are your conditions?"
Suri looked at Madame Sicily with some surprise as she placed the fruit directly in front of him.
Then, the two sides remained deadlocked. Madame Sicily simply smiled at Suri but did not say anything.
"...You can't possibly be interested in me, can you? No, that won't do."
Su Rui glanced at Ren Dong sitting next to him. It wasn't that he was afraid of Ren Dong losing her temper; it was mainly that even though Madame Sicily still had her charm, Su Rui couldn't quite accept someone who looked so much younger than him.
"Of course not, I just hope that you can lend a helping hand to Syracuse at some point."
Seeing that Honeysuckle next to Suri seemed somewhat dissatisfied, with her hand already on her weapon, Lady Syracuse also abandoned her joking intentions.
“No problem.” Suri nodded and agreed to Madame Sicily’s deal.
Whether he'll still be around by then is another matter entirely.
I reckon that even if he does meet Madame Sicily again next time, he'll be in a new body... That should be the case, right?
Somewhat puzzled, Su Rui asked directly in the system channel: 'Old Deng, will my future missions still have a system-embodied process?'
It will happen every time, but there may be differences.
That's right, as for the differences mentioned by the higher-level system... well, Su Rui couldn't do anything to this old man anyway, so he didn't care.
"Very good, then our deal is done."
Madame Sicily didn't even ask Suri to write a contract or provide a credible agreement; she simply gave a verbal consent and considered the deal done.
This composure even left Suri somewhat bewildered.
However, considering that she might not be able to help Madame Sicily when she needed it, Suri didn't try to make up for it further, but simply nodded:
"In that case, is there anything else? If not, let's end this meeting."
"Of course, no problem."
"I've prepared lunch for everyone. How about Madame Sicily stays as well?"
The fox priest politely tried to persuade her to stay, but was politely declined.
She gave Su Rui a meaningful look, and only after Ren Dong couldn't help but block her gaze from Su Rui did Madame Sicily smile, turn around and leave the shrine.
"This riddle-maker, could she really have something to rely on?"
Suri leaned against Honeysuckle, watching Madame Sicily's departing figure, somewhat puzzled.
"Don't worry, I will protect you."
"Of course I know, I'm still... pretty good at fighting."
Su Rui shook her head, shook off Ren Dong's hand that was rubbing her head, and said with some dissatisfaction.
Although his physical strength may not be as great as that of a killer like Honeysuckle who has undergone rigorous training, Su Rui is now, after all, in the body of a Terran.
Well, at least in terms of stamina, there's absolutely no problem. With the help of my scanning vision, taking on ten people shouldn't be an issue either.
With this thought in mind, Suri turned and walked towards her and Rendong's room:
"Alright, if there's nothing else, I'm going back to play games. I think the shrine festival is tomorrow, right?"
"Yes, Divine Child, you only need to wear the clothes we have prepared and perform the blessing for the people. It won't be too much trouble."
Having already understood Su Rui's personality, the fox priest directly addressed what Su Rui cared about most.
"That's good."
Suri nodded, then turned and went back to her room.
Honeysuckle and Texas exchanged a glance, both puzzled by the information from Madame Sicily.
However, they didn't know the specific reason, so they could only put these thoughts aside for the time being.
As for Madame Sicily... after leaving the shrine and returning to her car, she closed her eyes, leaned back in the passenger seat, and fell into thought.
'I hope that mysterious being will truly keep their promise and provide me with assistance.'
[Of course I will keep my promise. Suri's appearance may be different from what it is now, but his face will not change; only his racial features will be different. You will be able to find him very easily.]
'I understand, thank you for your generosity.'
Nodding in agreement, Mrs. Sissi looked at her driver and said, "Alright, we should go back now."
Su Rui wasn't clear about Old Deng's true intentions, but he had a feeling that Old Deng wouldn't harm him, so he just stayed in his room playing games and didn't think about it anymore.
After returning to her room, Ren Dong sat on the soft bed, looking at the book in her hand, but found the books she used to use to pass the time to be somewhat boring and tedious, and she couldn't concentrate on reading them.
Every now and then, Ren Dong's gaze would drift toward Su Rui, who was playing a game with nine large white tails swaying behind her.
So, Ren Dong came to Su Rui's side, put her calves in Su Rui's arms, and gently pushed him.
"what?"
Suri glanced at Honeysuckle with some confusion, then continued playing her game intently, simply covering Honeysuckle's feet with her tail to keep her from moving.
Honeysuckle smiled and continued to tease Su Rui.
(Suri is quite strong, possessing his own scanning vision and spellcasting ability. Give him a staff, and he will be a powerful being far surpassing all warlocks in Terra. After all, Terra's magic is, in a sense, a mathematical problem, and Suri's brain is capable of calculations that even supercomputers cannot match.)
By the way, Suri's system materialization progress is actually the favorability rating. Some people may not realize this, so I'll mention it first. Suri's materialization progress has already exceeded the limit in Honeysuckle's storyline, so there won't be any other problems. However, the materialization progress may fluctuate in the later storylines of other characters.
For example, in the next iteration, the materialization progress might fluctuate from the start for some reason, and wouldn't be zero.
I've updated two more chapters, please recommend them!
Volume 1: 56 [Looking at you]
Suri, thoroughly annoyed by the honeysuckle, turned to look at the mischievous honeysuckle:
"I'm still playing games. If you want to play, go turn on your computer yourself."
"What I want isn't playing video games~"
As she spoke, Honeysuckle began to use her calves to clamp down on Suri's fluffy tail, trying to distract Suri.
Of course I know you don't want to play games, but I'm playing games right now, so please don't bother me.
Suri rolled her eyes in annoyance, paused the game using her own methods, then stood up and walked towards Honeysuckle:
"Shall we play a game?"
"Okay, what game does Suri want to play?"
A smile crept onto Ren Dong's lips as she looked at Su Rui with a mixture of curiosity and interest.
"This time I want to be forceful. You're not allowed to resist. Also, I'm going to tie you up with a rope."
Su Rui said casually, a sly glint in her ruby-like eyes.
"Sure, no problem."
Although Suri always makes some outrageous suggestions, the restraint that Ren Dong had previously shown her had not been put into practice, leading Ren Dong to misjudge Suri's personality.
This led to Ren Dong actually believing Su Rui's words and obediently being tied up with ropes.
Then, Honeysuckle, who was bound by a thick rope, was gagged and thrown onto the bed like a caterpillar, where she could only struggle and whimper, watching Su Rui play games with her back to her.
Of course, Su Rui wasn't that cruel, although he rendered Ren Dong unable to move.
However, in Honeysuckle's field of vision, Suri still gave her the decryption to browse the internet, allowing Honeysuckle to use her thoughts to browse the content she wanted to see.
However, Ren Dong was more concerned about Su Rui. When she saw Su Rui, who had tied her up and thrown her aside to start playing games, a red light appeared in Ren Dong's eyes, but Su Rui, who was still focused on playing games, did not notice.
Or rather, Suri could guess what Honeysuckle was feeling, but he didn't want to look back.
'Once I break free of these ropes, I'll definitely teach you a lesson!'
Honeysuckle had already made up her mind. Considering that Su Rui needed to attend the sacrificial ceremony tomorrow, she would let Su Rui off the hook for the time being tonight. After the ceremony, Su Rui wouldn't be able to rest for the entire day.
After making her decision, Ren Dong silently kept it in mind, then looked at the browsing interface in front of her and began browsing online content.
Since there's no way to interfere with Su Rui now, this is the only way to entertain myself.
