Go back? There's no going back.

She slowly lowered her head and looked at her right hand.

At this moment, in the palm of the clenched hand, there was a rune stone with a vague human face engraved on it.

That was not the rune stone that was remade today, but a broken one that had been discarded by her a few years ago and could no longer be activated.

If she didn't have the habit of throwing things around, this talisman would have been disposed of by her long ago.

However, now, as she stared at the rune stone in her hand, a strange thought gradually emerged in Eve's mind... for some reason.

This thing...does it need to be repaired again?

There is no doubt that from a pragmatic point of view, there is no point in repairing such an abandoned rune stone that has successfully completed its useful life.

The cost of repairing the mask alone would probably be more troublesome than making a new one.

Moreover, even if the repair is finally successful, the actual use it brings... is infinitely close to zero.

But even though she knew this better than anyone else, the impulse in Eve's mind at this moment... was still becoming increasingly uncontrollable.

Almost instinctively, the look her child had given someone not long ago reappeared in her mind.

And the scene where he bowed his head to thank me under someone's instructions...

...That woman, does she think she is good at educating children?

When did she...need him to thank her?

Now when Eve recalled the scene at that time again, she felt as if there was a breath stuck in her chest that she couldn't let go.

The next second, she finally made a decision. Her eyes became stern and the shadow under her feet spread again.

A hunchbacked, bony undead slowly crawled out from the shadows.

After quietly glancing at the undead that she had crushed and enslaved when her energy was running out, Eve was about to throw the Thousand Faces Rune Stone in her hand to the other party without saying a word.

However, looking at the latter's trembling appearance that seemed like it would fall apart at any time, she paused for a moment, and finally stood up slightly, stretched out her hand, and handed the talisman to the other party.

Next, as the undead took the rune with both hands and began to use its ability to repair it, a feeling of weakness as if all strength had been drained surged through Eve's limbs again.

Taking her eyes away from the undead that looked like it would take some time, Eve leaned against the wall behind her again with an expressionless face, her dark eyes staring quietly out the window.

What is this little devil doing now?

Somehow, at this moment, as she subconsciously looked in one direction in the training camp, this thought suddenly emerged in her mind.

***

Luxury dormitory, bedroom.

The index finger of his left hand touched the back of the princess's hand like a dragonfly touching the water. In the past few minutes, Su Wei's expression changed from a little expectant at first, to thoughtful later, and then to the current silence.

Needless to say, this attempt failed.

After waiting quietly for a period of time, Su Wei did not feel any changes in himself.

——Sure enough, physical resonance, a phenomenon that seems like pie falling from the sky, will not happen so easily.

"Well, Princess, I think... it should have failed."

Realizing this, Su Wei reacted calmly and did not sigh.

After all, although he also longed for a complete all-spirit-friendly body, he was already quite satisfied with his current hard-earned physique.

After calmly reporting the situation, Su Wei withdrew his hand and looked up at the face of the princess beside him.

However, this time when their eyes met, he was met with the princess's serene and speechless gaze.

"I said, did I remember it wrong?"

Then, under Su Wei's gaze, the woman Wang in front of him first lowered her head to look at the back of her hand which had just been poked lightly by the fingertips of her right hand.

Then, she seemed to be amused: "I remember you were not as honest as you are now that night?"

"There's only this little area where they touch each other, so even if there was a resonance phenomenon that was about to occur, it would probably just slip away, right?"

As she said this, Celsia sighed slightly and stared at Su Wei with a scrutinizing look.

"Let's just say this is a practice with a very low probability of triggering. Even for the sake of the accuracy of the experiment, we should at least do this, right?"

Next, just after the princess finished speaking with some disgust, Su Wei suddenly felt his hand... being held back.

"…Sorry, I was a little nervous just now. I thought it would be enough to just make the necessary contact… huh?"

His face froze slightly. After realizing that he had fallen to the point where the princess took the initiative to attack him, Su Wei instinctively had to bite the bullet and apologize.

But the next second, as the cold touch on the two fingers of his left hand fed back to him, Su Wei was stunned.

Then he discovered that the princess who had been speaking profound truths and looking calm and elegant just a few seconds ago... in the end, she just had a serious expression and wandering eyes, and she just held one of his fingers.

Seeing this scene, Su Wei's eyes twitched slightly.

...What a lot of thunder but little rain.

Is there really a difference between one finger touching and two fingers touching?

With such doubt in his mind, Su Wei subconsciously wanted to say something.

But soon, he suddenly opened his eyes wide and became quiet.

Because at this moment, in the corner of his vision... a message full of garbled characters, the meaning of which could not be understood, suddenly popped up.

【*! 】

[**Affinity* detected, **affinity* is being further improved (false), host, please maintain **connection*...]

……what?

At this moment, Su Wei shuddered all over and suddenly felt his scalp tingling.

……and many more.

Wait a moment?

Could it be that the resonance theory that the princess just mentioned... is true?

This is only the first time I tried it, and this physical resonance that is rumored to be rare in decades... is here?

As this somewhat unbelievable thought came to his mind, Su Wei held his breath and waited quietly for a moment, intending to wait and see what happened next.

But soon, Su Wei's expression became solemn again.

Because he noticed that although the system that had been silent for a long time suddenly came alive again, the cold prompt that appeared in his mind had been intermittent.

【*! 】

[Affinity detected...beep?! ]

【*! 】

[Affinity detected...beep?! ]

The prompt box that suddenly disappeared every few seconds and then popped up again in his field of vision seemed to remind him that his contact with the All-Spirit Affinity Body was not stable and he could not maintain physical resonance continuously.

——There’s only this small area where they touch each other, so even if resonance was going to happen, it would probably just slip away, right?

At this moment, the words that the princess had said before once again appeared in Su Wei's mind.

Almost instinctively, he lowered his head to look at the two fingers that were being gently held by the princess.

In just a moment, a bold... even outrageous idea gradually came to Su Wei's mind.

Speaking of which... Previously, the princess had already given her permission...

Well, if I go a little deeper now...that should be possible, right?

After a moment of silence, Su Wei took a deep breath silently.

Then, his eyes fixed, and he became more and more fearful.

He suddenly struggled, pulled out the two fingers that were being held by the princess, and then opened his palm and held the princess's whole hand.

"……Eh?"

It was at this moment that Celcia, who had been moving her lips as if planning to lecture Su Wei, suddenly froze.

Those gem-like pure green eyes blinked, and she looked at Su Wei blankly.

However, the next second, she failed to meet Su Wei's eyes again. She only saw Su Wei's frowning brows.

——As expected, the princess’s speculation was correct.

Unlike before, at this moment, as the area of ​​physical contact between the two parties increased, Su Wei clearly noticed that the flashing frequency of the system prompt message at the edge of his vision had significantly decreased.

But, it is still somewhat intermittent.

"Um, Princess, I'm sorry... I might offend you a little bit next."

Seeing this, although he had obtained the princess's permission, Su Wei still raised his head and said this to the girl in front of him who looked a little dazed for some reason.

“…Huh?”

Afterwards, Su Wei also heard the princess' response, which was a little slow.

But Su Wei had no time to care.

While paying attention to the system prompts in the corner of his vision, he slowly and more tightly grasped the princess.

The fingers were intertwined, and the two silver-white rings blended into each other.

Finally, as he intertwined his fingers with those of Lady Princess, Su Wei finally found the point that would stabilize the system prompts.

“Wait a minute…?”

At this moment, looking at Su Wei, who was completely different from his usual shy appearance and holding her tightly, and feeling the warm touch coming from the palm of her hand, Celsia's brain suddenly went blank.

Her snow-white, slender legs were pressed together tightly, her whole body was stiff, and even the tone of her voice became a little disordered, no longer as calm as before.

It was at this moment that the system prompt popped up in Su Wei's mind again.

This time, the hint was clearer than ever before.

【Ding! 】

[The universal affinity body has been detected and is being further improved (false). Please maintain physical contact with the host and do not disconnect. 】

Chapter 51: My Lady Princess, do you like me? (4k)

Even though it was late at night, the large store was still brightly lit.

"My dear guest, what do you think of this set?"

Elsie, dressed in a black and white maid's outfit, was holding a stack of sheets in her arms. Next to her was a smiling waitress.

"This set of sheets and quilts is the best bedding we sell here. It is the best in terms of silkiness and comfort."

Although in the eyes of the waiter, the maid in front of him was a stranger.

However, after running the shop for several years, she had a keen eye and could tell at a glance that the material of the maid's clothes was quite expensive.

The owner of the house is obviously very powerful as he can make the maids in the house wear such high-quality work clothes.

Therefore, as soon as she greeted him, she showed her most diligent attitude as a waitress.

"…I feel like it's still a little hard."

However, despite having changed several sets, the customer in front of the waiter still seemed to be frowning, not very satisfied: "The texture of this set of noodles is okay, but the child prefers softer ones."

"...In that case, I recommend this method to you."

Being criticized again, the waitress remained calm and continued to introduce the maid in front of her enthusiastically: "Although the material of this set is slightly worse than the previous one, it is soft and very suitable for users who like soft beds--"

……

A few minutes later.

"Well, that's all."

Looking at the dozen or so sets of sheets in front of her, under the waitress's sweaty gaze, the maid in front of her glanced over most of the sheets she had tried before, and suddenly opened her mouth: "Please pack them all for me."

“Ah, ah…?”

Another moment passed.

"Please take care, sir. Welcome to visit us next time!"

With the waitress's cordial farewell, Elsie walked out of the store after putting several sheets into a small space box.
