“Xiao Qi, it’s all done now.”
Smooch~
A faint ticklish sensation brushed over his lower abdomen.
Before Su Qi could react, he heard Aunt Gu Yan’s gentle voice signaling the end.
Because it ended so quickly, Su Qi actually felt a slight sense of relief.
He’d thought he might have to undergo some kind of surgery this time, but it turned out to be just a simple touch?
Seeing Aunt Gu Yan, who had already returned to her seat after touching his lower abdomen,
Su Qi subconsciously lowered his head, casting his gaze downward.
He wanted to see exactly what Aunt Gu Yan had done.
But as he looked down, Su Qi couldn’t help but feel helpless… besides the two large, pale roundnesses, he couldn’t even see his toes at this moment, let alone his own abdomen.
Considering his current situation, he was at Aunt Gu Yan’s… no, Aunt Gu Yan had just mentioned things between himself and Wen Yin, so she had basically approved their relationship.
Now she was technically his mother-in-law.
Realizing that he was in his mother-in-law’s bedroom, craning his neck to look at his own belly felt somewhat improper.
Su Qi didn’t fuss over the ceremony just now.
[He just reached out a fair, dainty hand, smoothing out the creases in his clothes with ladylike grace.]
Seeing Su Qi’s adorably obedient behavior, Aunt Gu Yan looked at Su Qi’s fair skin and the faint fragrance that lingered around him.
Thinking back to the prophetic scene from a few years ago—Su Qi being bullied by her daughter… no, actually being affectionate together in that steamy future vision—Aunt Gu Yan nodded in deep satisfaction.
After pondering for a moment, she took out a ring and handed it to Su Qi, saying,
“By the way, Xiao Qi, now that you’re an Adventurer, I’m giving you this Storage Ring. Its space isn’t very large, but it’s more than enough for a beginner like you. And remember, later, you’ll need to put this Cake inside the Storage Ring, too.”
“I spent a lot of effort gathering rare ingredients to make this Cake. When you leave the Succubus Academy, you and Wen Yin can celebrate together.”
Su Qi stared, slightly dazed, at the Storage Ring Aunt Gu Yan was handing over.
Although he’d only joined the Adventurer team for a short while and had only ventured into the Saint Ruins twice, he was a total novice.
But Su Qi still knew the price of a Storage Ring well.
Even the smallest storage space, the cheapest ones started at 500,000.
That Aunt Gu Yan had agreed to his relationship with Wen Yin was already unexpected.
And logically, as the man, shouldn’t he be the one giving gifts to his mother-in-law?
Why was it the other way around?
This didn’t make sense!
Because the gift was so expensive, Su Qi quickly shook his
little hand to refuse.
But before he could even complete the gesture, his soft little left hand was already in Aunt Gu Yan’s grasp.
In the next instant, the adorable Storage Ring engraved with a Succubus-style insignia was slipped onto Su Qi’s index finger.
His hand, smooth and fair as white jade, looked especially exquisite with the ring on, every detail accentuated as if highlighted with the finest brushstrokes in a masterful painting.
As a boy, Su Qi had never worn accessories before.
But now, seeing the little ring on his hand—
Maybe he’d really turned into a girl, starting to like these sparkly things, or maybe the ring simply made his hand look that good—he couldn’t help but stare in awe for a moment.
After fiddling with Su Qi’s little hand for a while, Aunt Gu Yan continued,
“Xiao Qi, there’s another use for this ring I’m giving you.”
As she spoke, Aunt Gu Yan gently summoned several bottles of the purple drink they’d just had, then took out a big Stuffed Toy and a Quilt, finally producing a little Key and a Letter, setting them all on the tea table.
“Xiao Qi, now that I’ve become Principal, my days are quite busy. Come to think of it, it’s been more than two years since I last saw Wen Yin. Actually, I miss her a lot. This Quilt and Stuffed Toy, I sewed for her myself. So, take this ring and help me bring them to her. Oh, and this is my house Key. I hope you can ‘secretly’ give it to Wen Yin in her bedroom, to surprise her, okay?”
Listening to Aunt Gu Yan’s request, Su Qi didn’t have any reason to refuse this time.
But looking at the Key in her hand, Su Qi felt a little hesitant.
Emmmmmmm… she wanted him to sneak into Wen Yin’s house and give her a surprise?
Why did this feel a bit rude?
Still, thinking back, he hadn’t visited Wen Yin’s home since middle school, and Su Qi felt a wave of anticipation.
And now that they could be intimate and become a couple, sneaking into her bedroom should be fine, right!
Seeing Su Qi carefully pack the Cake and all the items into the little ring, making sure nothing was left out, Aunt Gu Yan spread her palm and lifted it gently.
Just like the Sheep Teacher had summoned the test monster earlier, a black, swirling teleportation ripple appeared in the sky.
Looking closely, you could see it was spinning counterclockwise.
With the ripple’s appearance, the next second, as Su Qi glanced out the window, he saw his three virtual teammates on the playground, along with the nun Ye Fufu who had just been left by the door, all flying up toward the sky’s counterclockwise vortex.
The moment they touched the ripple, all four figures began to vanish.
Watching his three teammates and Ye Fufu, that nun sister, leave the Succubus Academy, Su Qi couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
But something puzzled him…
“Aunt Gu, why didn’t you let me leave with them?”
Hearing Su Qi’s confusion, Aunt Gu Yan smiled and patted his head.
“Xiao Qi, you already have dark circles under your eyes. That kind of teleportation is a bit rough, so I’m summoning a gentler Teleportation Array for you. After you appear near the statue, just walk out of the mountain cave, then walk 500 meters to your left and you’ll see a human Teleportation Array. Don’t worry, there are no monsters around, and that array can take you directly to the Adventurer Guild area in Muyang Community.”
After reminding Su Qi, Aunt Gu Yan chanted a spell, and this time a soft, light-green Teleportation Array appeared.
Seeing the gentle array, Su Qi felt a warmth in his heart and a sense of novelty.
Eh, so there’s actually an Adventurer Guild in the Muyang Community where I live?
He walked lightly to the Teleportation Array, waved his little hand to bid farewell to his mother-in-law, and stepped into the array.
As his body began to feel lighter, just as the teleportation was about to begin, Su Qi heard another reminder.
“Oh, and Xiao Qi, if you ever run into danger in the Saint Ruins, if you’re near the Succubus statue, you can touch the ring gently and it will allow you to enter a special Succubus Magic Barrier for protection.”
Nodding his little head at his mother-in-law’s parting advice,
Su Qi felt his vision sway softly, his body growing lighter, floating in a gentle fragrant breeze like a leaf fluttering in the air for a long time.
When he came back to his senses, Su Qi found his feet once again on solid ground.
I’m back!!!
