After discovering the new stone tablet and receiving the gifts left by Su’s parents, the news about the Demon King’s Castle was far too important to delay.
They had to report it to the Adventurers’ Guild quickly and formulate a contingency plan.
Following that, the Hero Party searched the area around the stone tablet for a while longer.
When they found nothing—and Su Xixi hadn’t found anything either—they decided to return.
The return trip naturally involved riding the Big Guy’s special vehicle outside the pathway.
As an aside, Su Lulu gave the treasure chest containing the items to the Big Guy.
After swallowing it in one gulp, the originally purple serpentine body was covered with a layer of silver self-armor, making it look even cooler.
With the Big Guy leading the way, they saved a lot of time and avoided many encounters with beast attacks along the road.
Originally, this expedition into the Saint Ruins was planned to take one to one and a half days.
But when everyone passed through the Teleportation Array and returned to the Adventurers’ Guild, they found that it was just past midnight. Calculating carefully, the entire trip seemed to have only taken ten hours.
“Lulu, can we keep this letter from Professor Lin for now? Because if what Professor Lin says is true, I want to secure it as evidence and call on ability users from other regions to stop the Demon King’s revival. Of course, I’ll hide the part about your sister Su Qi.”
After a brief conversation with President Nie, they reported the information about the Demon King’s Castle and the Fourth Layer map in their capacity as adventurers.
The news of the Demon King’s revival was simply too shocking.
As the president of the Muyang Adventurer’s Guild, President Nie made a request for the letter.
Initially, Su Lulu wanted to refuse.
After all, no matter how she looked at it, this was a personal letter left for her and Su Qi by their parents.
But then she recalled what the letter mentioned: if the Demon King truly plundered the World Tree Fruit, then his next target would naturally be Su Qi, who had eaten the World Tree Fruit.
Although Su Lulu didn’t know when Su Qi had been fed that fruit by their parents.
But rather than waiting quietly for the Demon King’s revival, a family letter seemed fine to hand over in photo form.
Moreover, as a young woman, Su Lulu had a premonition that her mysterious parents had probably already infiltrated the Demon King’s Castle.
Compared to this cold letter, if she could resolve the Demon King crisis this time, she might finally see the two of them after so long!
After handing over the letter to President Nie, they had been busy all afternoon.
Thanks to the Big Guy and Little Red Pupil, the group barely fought any beasts and didn’t exhaust much physical strength.
But the information they had received was too much and too heavy.
After a brief discussion, whether it was the Hero Party or Gu Wenyin and Su Lulu, they all quickly left the Adventurers’ Guild.
Compared to the complex thoughts of the many two-legged creatures,
Ning~ Xixi~
Little Red Pupil and Su Xixi, these two little ones, were very happy.
After obtaining the treasure, Su Xixi hung the glowing little rabbit pendant around her neck.
From time to time, she extended her fluffy, round little paws and carefully wiped it, clearly very fond of the little rabbit pendant.
As for Little Red Pupil, Mo Yu gently changed her into the little Christmas outfit.
Perhaps red was a favorite color of the Dragon Clan, or maybe the little outfit was imbued with spiritual energy and designed to be cute and form-fitting, perfectly matching the preferences of the little girl.
After putting on the clothes, the little one loved it so much.
She opened her two adorable white little hands, occasionally spinning in a circle, occasionally taking a few quick steps, looking like an innocent child seeking praise.
Seeing Little Red Pupil’s cute and innocent daughter-like appearance, Gu Wenyin, Mo Yu, and Ye Fufu all showed doting smiles.
But this smile gradually faded as the elevator descended.
Dingdong~
When they reached the 15th floor, the smiles on the three young women’s faces involuntarily tightened.
After all, not long after they had left, the bracelet had emitted spiritual energy.
Although they had already held a party in the Treasure Passage earlier, the three girls still felt that Su Qi was really lacking self-discipline!
They needed to have a good argument.
As for the thoughts of the three young women,
Su Qi didn’t know about them, because at that moment, Su Qi was already trembling and falling asleep.
In fact, she slept so soundly that she even let out little snores, fufufu.
And seeing Su Qi’s perfect sleeping face, An Xiaoling, who was holding a mop and cleaning up the scene of the crime, showed a happy smile on her doll-like face.
Because today, she had finally avenged her shame and turned the tables.
In fact, if it were just a one-on-one fight relying on An Xiaoling’s weak and sensitive body, even if Su Qi didn’t equip any attribute-boosting outfits, An Xiaoling might not be Su Qi’s match.
But this time, when she and Lin Xue attacked Su Qi together, An Xiaoling discovered Su Qi’s weakness.
She touched her slightly swollen lower abdomen, feeling the pleasant sensation within, and recalling the recent scene, the curve of An Xiaoling’s mouth lifted a little more.
Due to Su Qi’s special constitution, after eating the Shuxi Bento, An Xiaoling suddenly realized that while the bento was delicious, with continuous consumption, her own constitution would improve, while Su Qi would become weak and sensitive.
Recalling how before being coaxed to sleep, Su Qi even said tearfully, “Ugh… don’t eat me anymore!” in such a pitiful tone.
At this moment, An Xiaoling couldn’t help but puff out her small chest, a sense of achievement welling up inside.
But at the same time, perhaps because she had eaten too much of Su Qi’s bento at once, just as this sense of achievement appeared, An Xiaoling, who had been too excited just a moment ago, hadn’t paid much attention.
But now that she had finished cleaning, An Xiaoling felt a kind of congestion in her white rabbits, which had just grown a little.
Only this time, the congestion was stronger, giving a feeling of an impending collapse.
And it seemed to have a tendency to level up.
Could this be a physical reaction from eating Su Qi?
Ugh… this is wrong!
Just as An Xiaoling sensed a bad premonition and intended to ask Lin Xue, who had just resumed their alliance, if she also felt the same,

A sound of a lock opening echoed clearly in the room.
Following the sound, Lin Xue and An Xiaoling, who had tidied up the room, saw the door open to reveal Su Lulu and the three young women behind her.
“Eh? Xiaoling, Xiaoxue, are you here playing with Xiao Qi?”
“Sister Su, you’re back.”
“Where’s Xiao Qi?”
“She’s asleep.”
Su Lulu, who opened the door, was momentarily stunned to see Lin Xue and An Xiaoling, these two girls, in her home.
But then she thought, since Su Qi was now a girl, unlike when Su Qi was a boy, it was normal for her to be scared living alone when she was away, and inviting classmates over was perfectly reasonable.
Before she fell unconscious, she herself often went to Gu Wenyin’s place to stay. That was understandable.
But as she took off her shoes and stepped into the entrance, Su Lulu couldn’t help but frown slightly.
‘Emmmmm… is it my imagination?’
‘Why do I feel there’s a rich, mellow smell in the room, different from milk, more fragrant and rich? Could it be some newly released perfume?’
‘Did these two girls play some game with Su Qi while I was away?’
‘And that trench coat Lin Xue is wearing—why did it look shiny for a moment? And is it a bit too loose?’
While Su Lulu was puzzled, the two cute little ones in her arms were extremely excited.
After all, as Auntie Su Lulu, they had never eaten Su Qi’s bento, but they themselves had eaten it many times.
Besides, not seeing Su Qi all afternoon, the two little ones wanted to show off their new clothes and decorations.
Without even taking off their shoes, they pattered their adorable little legs, sniffing the faint fragrance around Su Qi, and ran toward the small bedroom.
“Hey, you two, don’t run so fast! Be careful not to bump into something.”
Seeing the two little ones scurrying away from her, Su Lulu’s suspicion toward the two girls lessened a bit due to the distraction.
She looked at the three young women behind her and thought that all five were guests of the Su family.
Though a bit tired, Su Lulu quickly started playing host.
But while hosting, she couldn’t help but feel a doubt.
‘Emmmm… even though they’re all girls, now that I think about it, from the moment I woke up, these five girls all seem to be too close to Su Qi, no matter how you look at it.’
‘It’s like, before I fell unconscious, even Wen Yin and I weren’t this close!’
Just as Su Lulu sensed something off,
Xixi~ Ningning~
Little Red Pupil and Su Xixi had already arrived in Su Qi’s bedroom.
Full of excitement, the two little ones originally wanted to show off their new gear.
But when they saw Su Qi sound asleep, they thoughtfully quieted down so as not to disturb her rest.
Yet, smelling the faint rich aroma in the room, the little ones carefully climbed onto the bed, pulled back Su Qi’s blanket, and skillfully began to snuggle with Su Qi.
But then, something shocking happened to the two little ones.
Eh, today it’s gone!!!
