Go back? There's no going back.

But the next second, before he could completely let go of his worry, it was lifted up again.

He saw a figure.

A slender figure was walking towards him slowly.

After nearly eight years of getting along, Su Wei recognized the newcomer at a glance.

There was no doubt that it was Miss Elsie, the palace's housekeeper and the First Princess's personal maid.

At this moment, the other party was walking towards the main gate step by step.

Su Wei, who had just entered the courtyard, was lying in the small garden next to the main gate.

"…It's over."

His heartbeat quickened silently, Su Wei murmured in his heart.

Although he had never actually seen the maid take action.

However, one can easily guess with one's toes that, can the person who can become the personal maid of the first princess be an ordinary person?

In fact, judging from the fact that he can handle all the trivial matters in the entire palace in an orderly manner by himself, his ability is extraordinary.

At least, not something that some petty thief trying to sneak into the palace could do.

Moreover, up to now, Su Wei has already made a preliminary judgment on the so-called "temporary custody" item he had drawn.

This item does not provide any substantial improvement to your attributes.

His obviously improved physical condition now all came from the bonus from wearing the werewolf mask.

In other words, even if he is in a trusteeship state, Su Wei himself will not show performance that exceeds his own limits.

In this situation, Su Wei could no longer imagine how a petty thief like himself who sneaked into the First Princess's palace at night for no reason could survive.

Discovered, caught, beheaded...

Oh, maybe we should insert a "will you confess or not" torture segment in the middle?

hiss--

Thinking of this, Su Wei felt a little weak all over.

numb.

This system...what kind of system is it?

It really hurts people a lot——

Su Wei consciously gave up resistance and tried to greet all this by raising his hands with a military salute of a certain country.

But soon, he found that when the maid approached him while he was in the custody, his body, which was wrapped in the custody, did not lower its head, but stood up little by little.

In an instant, the only barrier between the two sides was a few small trees planted in the courtyard.

Even, the other party could vaguely see his face through the gaps between the small branches.

Even after all this, Su Wei's body in custody did not stop for a moment.

"Su Wei" took a step forward, walked out from behind the small tree, and walked straight towards the palace entrance not far away.

My heart was in my throat. At this moment, if the maid had tilted her head slightly or spread her peripheral vision a little, she would have easily caught the thief in the courtyard.

However, the expected exposure did not occur.

On one side was Su Wei, whose forehead was covered in sweat, and on the other was a maid walking straight towards the main entrance.

The two were moving in completely opposite directions, like two parallel lines, crossing each other at close range.

"... "

"..."

"........."

Ah?

Su Wei blinked, and the expression on his face suddenly became quite confused.

You really didn't notice yourself?

In Su Wei's memory, this maid...is not some crayfish.

It is better to say that the other party has excellent eyesight in daily life and can easily notice some detailed changes in the palace every time.

She could even notice the bed sheets that someone had quietly washed after a dream, and looked at him with a kind look.

Now this is...what's going on?

It was not known whether he noticed Su Wei's confusion at the moment, but his body, which was in custody, actually paused slightly and turned his head actively, allowing Su Wei to look at the maid from behind.

At this glance, Su Wei finally noticed something strange.

He could see that the maid at the moment... seemed to be worried about something.

Compared with the almost omnipotent maid in his past impression, she now had her head hanging listlessly, and even her walking posture was not as elegant and calm as before.

The whole person looks like he is worried about something.

...Okay, I see.

Seeing this scene, Su Wei remained silent.

Although he was a little concerned about the condition of the maid, he obviously didn't have the time to worry about others now.

It seems that everyone has their own things to do tonight.

Busy, be busy...

Moreover, by now, Su Wei also noticed another thing.

No sound.

At this moment, when I was in custody, I made no noise.

Whether he was jumping over the wall into the courtyard or walking from the small garden to the main road, he remained silent throughout the whole process.

He was like an assassin who had reached the pinnacle of physical skills, and whose every move revealed ease and elegance.

However, Su Wei was sure that he had never experienced similar training before.

"...I see, is that so?"

Suddenly, a flash of understanding flashed in his eyes.

At this moment, Su Wei finally understood why a system item that seemed to be a scam could be rated as purple quality.

Although this "temporary trusteeship" did not bring any substantial improvement to one's physical body,... it could temporarily grant one powerful skills during the period of use?

"…Wow."

After realizing this, Su Wei's eyes, which had been dim and desperate due to the danger he was in, gradually brightened up.

The content of this hosting is to find the affinity of all spirits, which requires the use of skills such as climbing walls and sneaking and following, so during the hosting period, it looks like I am possessed by the God of Assassins...

So if next time I set the hosted content to defeat someone, will I be like a god of war possessed, temporarily mastering overwhelming combat capabilities, and become a god descending to earth on the spot?

So, what if we set the content to “get full marks in the exam”?

Or, why not just make it "work hard to practice to the fifth level, until you become a saint"?

As if he had discovered a new continent, the emotions in Su Wei's mind were gradually becoming more and more excited.

This feeling of exhilaration continued until the moment he walked quietly to the entrance of the palace and pushed the door open.

At this moment, a doubt suddenly emerged in Su Wei's increasingly excited mind.

The legendary all-spirit-friendly body is undoubtedly in this palace at this moment.

But, it was not the maid who just passed by him.

……

Wait a moment?

Is it possible...? ?

Chapter 7: True Affinity with All Souls

"..."

It was late at night and everyone was asleep. As the familiar scenery behind the door came into view, Su Wei's face gradually stiffened.

He finally realized something.

Perhaps from the moment he clicked the hosting order, everything unfolded too quickly, causing him to invisibly... overlook the most critical point.

He came here this time... to find the true all-spirit affinity body.

And now it seems that the so-called all-spirit-friendly entity is in this princess's palace, there is no doubt about that.

But, but...

According to Su Wei's memory of the past year, even including himself, there seemed to be... only three people living in this palace on a regular basis?

He, the maid, and...

The first princess.

"..."

The mind gradually goes blank.

He watched his body push the door open, walk along the corridor behind the entrance, and gradually approach the main hall. The shadow of death that had just faded from Su Wei's face once again crept onto his face like a tide.

Among the only two candidates for the All-Spirit Affinity Body, he had already met the maid, but the trusteeship did not end at that time.

So, the one who possesses the affinity with all spirits... is actually the First Princess herself?

And now, not only do I have to take the initiative to approach her, but I also have to maintain physical contact with her for at least one hour and thirty-eight minutes?

"...Tongzi, you fucking bastard."

"Why don't you just hang me on the old tree in the southeast of the yard?"

'This saves everyone time.'

His vision went dark and he muttered to himself. The faint light in the young man's eyes, which had just ignited not long ago, gradually faded away.

Su Wei suddenly felt that if he had been arrested on the spot by the maid just now... it would have been a good thing.

Even a strange development like "the maid is actually the true all-spirit affinity body. She conceals her identity, lives in seclusion in the city, lurks beside the first princess, waiting for her wings to grow strong" is not unacceptable.

But the current situation directly burned out Su Wei's CPU.

He didn't want to cause any more trouble to the princess.

To be honest, this adult, just like his mother, can be said to be his real adoptive parent.

Without the other party's taking him in back then, he wouldn't be alive and kicking now.

Besides, how could a Karami like me touch the princess's noble body?

Although it is called a substitute, in fact, in the past eight years of physical contact, Su Wei had only been pressed from behind by the princess who seemed to be in a bad mood a few times, with her forehead against his back, seeking brief comfort.

For this reason, he later started to exercise his body and back, so that the adult's flawless face would not be rubbed by his skinny ribs.

As a result, in order to activate a physical condition, one must actively offend the other party?

Still have to brave this for a full hour and thirty-eight minutes?

No, this is no longer just an offense, it's downright blasphemy.

...If you really do it, just commit suicide.

I'll fucking commit seppuku right there - oh no, that won't do either, and I can't dirty the princess' palace...

His mood became increasingly heavy. The moment he was pushed into the main hall, Su Wei took a deep breath and his face looked quite ugly.

He made up his mind that after the custody was over, if he had ever insulted the other party, he would hang himself on the tree outside the yard.

However, the next scene gave him a glimmer of hope.

Because he noticed that after entering the main hall, his steps... were not moving in the direction of the princess' bedroom.

Instead, he turned around and walked straight to the room where he once lived.
