“Xiao Qi, I know you’re still a bit afraid of me. I’ll make sure to correct my mistakes from now on and return to the version of myself you like best. I’ll be going now.”
“A Qi, I’m going to help Sister Fufu in the cathedral for a while. Bye-bye!”
In front of Saint Freya Cathedral, after entrusting Su Lulu to Ye Fufu’s care, Su Qi—who had been busy all day since returning from the Saint Ruins—finally prepared to head home under An Xiaoling’s urging.
Perhaps considering that Su Qi had not yet forgiven her, Gu Wen Yin realized that being too aggressive might scare him again.
As the “Sister Wen Yin from next door” whom Su Qi liked, she left after stating her position.
After Gu Wen Yin departed, Mo Yu—whose relationship with Su Qi had just evolved beyond mere brotherhood—stayed behind in the cathedral, using an excuse to hide his shyness.
After saying goodbye to the two of them, Su Qi held the adorable Saint Ash Rabbit in his arms and got into Lin Xue’s car.
“Xixi~”
Perhaps because it was her first time in the human world, the little guy in Su Qi’s arms couldn’t help but open her eyes wide as Lin Xue started the car.
She pressed her small front paws against the car window and looked outside.
Facing the little guy’s curious, baby-like behavior, Su Qi—who had a very full day—stroked her small head while softly contemplating his next tasks.
“Little Xixi, I’ll buy you a small bed later. It’s summer, so you probably don’t need clothes, but I should buy some fruit. Oh, right, I need to give you a good bath later, too.”
Hearing his virtuous, gentle whispers and seeing Su Qi cradling Su Xixi like a baby, An Xiaoling, who was sitting in the same row, felt slightly stunned.
‘Is it just my imagination?’
‘Why does it feel like the Su Wife Aura on Sister Su Su has become even stronger since returning from the Saint Ruins?’
The car drove quickly through Lin City.
Since Saint Freya Cathedral was quite far away, it was already evening by the time they returned to Lin Hidden Mansion.
Considering it was late and he was wearing the Little Devil Set—which, although not revealing, featured black stockings and a shimmering black leather skirt that felt overly suggestive—the introverted Su Qi decided to wait.
Although he wanted to buy things for the little guy, after thinking it over, he decided to put it off until tomorrow.
Meow, meow, meow~
Xi, xi, xi~
When Su Qi, An Xiaoling, and Lin Xue returned to the Azure Blessing Wildcat Team, the door opened.
Perhaps because they were all four-legged creatures, Su Xixi quickly bonded with the three little wildcats despite the language barrier.
Su Qi had originally been worried that the little guy would get stressed in a strange human environment.
However, perhaps because she recognized An Xiaoling, Lin Xue, and him—the Clan Leader—and because there were no magical beasts around to catch her, Su Xixi integrated surprisingly fast.
After observing the little guy for a while and seeing she wasn’t afraid, Su Qi prepared for the evening.
He was quite exhausted and still needed to bathe the little one, who had been covered in the dirt of the Saint Ruins.
Although Su Xixi’s head was no longer gray after eating his Bento last time—making her look more like a “Saint Pink Rabbit” than a Saint Ash Rabbit—Su Qi felt the need to give her a bath, likely a habit stemming from the Su Wife Ability.
Of course, he needed to wash himself thoroughly too.
After all, his body was currently covered in the scent of his good brother!
Since there was much to do, and seeing that the little guy was fine, Su Qi went to his room and threw on a casual blue domestic dress.
As he put the dress on, Su Qi paused for a moment.
He remembered that the last time he wore this dress, his hair had turned light blue.
But now, just like when he took off his clothes in the succubus’s room, his hair remained pale yellow.
‘Could it be that after this Ability evolution, the only clothes that will affect me are those made of Spiritual Energy?’
Thinking of this, Su Qi tried changing into a gym suit and even a set of men’s clothes, but the result remained the same.
Seeing this, Su Qi felt a bit of a headache as a vital question suddenly occurred to him.
‘Emmm… if my default is yellow hair, how am I supposed to go to class in the future?’
‘This seems completely different from Mo Yu’s situation. I can’t hide my gender at all…’
‘No, instead of going to university classes, I should be wondering how to explain this to the university.’
‘Ugh… the thought of changing from a boy to a girl is just weird no matter how I look at it.’
While Su Qi gloomily changed back into his lounge wear and headed to the kitchen to take up the spatula—pondering his future schooling while cooking delicious food—two young women sneaked into his room.
Following their movements, Su Qi’s room in the Wildcat Team headquarters was soon filled with various items.
After moving a full-length mirror to the door, An Xiaoling wiped a bit of sweat from her doll-like face and placed her small hands on her hips.
After surveying the room, she puffed out her flat chest proudly.
“Whew~ That’s done! Since this is all new furniture, we need to let the smell air out. It looks like Sister Su Su will have to sleep in our room tonight. Senior Lin Xue, if Sister Su Su goes to your room, you aren’t allowed to lock the door.”
Lin Xue, who had filled the entire room according to An Xiaoling’s request, felt a bit conflicted hearing this.
Although she had mentioned forming an alliance with An Xiaoling at the cathedral to pursue Su Qi, this was moving fast.
An Xiaoling’s first move was to make the three of them sleep together tonight.
Even though Lin Xue had experience sleeping with Su Qi before, the idea of three people sleeping together felt strange no matter how she thought about it.
Furthermore, this black-hearted Loli had pulled so much brand-new furniture directly out of her storage ring, as if she had prepared it all in advance.
This made Lin Xue feel a weight on her mind.
‘I feel like An Xiaoling is hiding much more than I imagined!!’
‘She’s far too practiced at this!’
The fragrant aroma of food gradually drifted out of the kitchen as Su Qi’s skillful hands worked.
“Xixi~”
Perhaps because she hadn’t eaten anything good in the past few days, Su Xixi ran to Su Qi’s feet like a human infant the moment she smelled the scent.
Every time a dish was finished, she stood on her hind legs and looked up at Su Qi expectantly.
Seeing this, Su Qi found it amusing to feed her, but he also felt a bit complicated.
When he was little, every time his mother made something delicious, he would wait just like Su Xixi for an early taste.
‘And now, thinking about how I’ve taken over the role my mother once held, and thinking about the new skills born from my Su Wife Ability…’
‘Emmm… I feel like if I let the Su Wife Ability keep developing, a baby might actually fall from the sky or something.’
Fortunately, upgrading the Su Wife Ability again required 1,000,000 Experience.
With such a massive amount of experience needed, he probably wouldn’t have to worry about an upgrade for a long time!
Since there were only four people for dinner—including Su Xixi—and Senior Lin Xue, being a Blood Princess, didn’t seem to like human food, it was essentially dinner for three.
Su Qi prepared three dishes: griddle-cooked cabbage, braised prawns in oil, and tomato stir-fried with eggs.
“Little Ling, Senior Lin, time to eat.”
After scooping the rice and bringing the dishes to the table, Su Qi called out.
He soon saw the two of them coming out of the room that bore his nameplate.
Since his room had previously contained nothing but an empty wardrobe filled with clothes An Xiaoling had bought—and didn’t even have bedsheets—Su Qi couldn’t help but wonder what they had been doing.
His confusion didn’t last long.
An Xiaoling, wearing rabbit slippers, ran over and hugged his arm, pulling him toward the room with a sweet smile.
“Sister Su Su, I saw that your room only had a clothes rack and a bed frame last time, so I just bought a few things for you. Ta-da! Look, how is it?”
Pulled to the front of the room by An Xiaoling, Su Qi looked inside and was momentarily stunned.
The originally plain room was now filled with decorations: a giant plush doll, a brand-new dressing table, a full-length mirror, a chandelier on the wall, and even several potted plants.
Looking at the room that had transformed from austerity to abundance, Su Qi felt a bit uneasy about the overly “girly” atmosphere, but thinking about the fact that this was a gesture of kindness from An Xiaoling and Senior Lin made his heart feel warm and comfortable.
However, when Su Qi looked at the bed—which was still bare without any sheets—his delicate brows furrowed slightly.
‘How am I supposed to sleep without sheets?’
As if sensing his confusion, An Xiaoling’s cute Loli voice rang in his ear.
“Sister Su Su, since this furniture is all new, it needs to air out first because the formaldehyde is bad for your health. That’s why I haven’t changed the bedding yet. But it’s okay! You can sleep in my room tonight.”
‘Formaldehyde? Bad for my health?’
Hearing those words in An Xiaoling’s sweet voice, Su Qi suddenly didn’t feel so touched anymore.
‘Emmm… isn’t this the fox showing its tail?’
‘As expected, a black-hearted Loli is a black-hearted Loli. Touching your heart is just her way of digging a pit for you.’
‘Sleeping with her definitely won’t be good for my health!’
No, he definitely couldn’t sleep with An Xiaoling tonight.
But if not with An Xiaoling, where should he spend the night?
The sofa?
That didn’t seem quite right.
When they went to the hospital earlier, Su Qi had stopped by to visit Big Mountain, Wei Mian, and Brother Hao, and all three had been discharged.
If they returned to the Wildcat Team in the middle of the night—even though Su Qi trusted their character—it felt like something might go wrong.
The sofa was out, and An Xiaoling’s room was out.
That seemed to leave only… As he thought, Su Qi’s gaze shifted toward Senior Lin Xue, who was standing beside An Xiaoling.
But looking at Senior Lin Xue, Su Qi couldn’t help but frown slightly.
‘Why do I feel like I’m being set up?’
