What preparations are needed for a trip to the Saint Ruins?
If this question were posed to ordinary adventurers, their answers would likely be identical: a detailed and precise map, a well-maintained sharp weapon, reliable and understanding companions, and finally, sufficient supplies for emergencies or getting lost.
But now, when this question is placed on Su Qi, aside from the usual preparations, he has to consider more.
After all, Su Qi has eaten a fruit from the World Tree and is now a target of the Demon King.
If he acts rashly, he might GG, so naturally he needs more preparation.
Beyond the basic adventurer guidelines, Su Qi plans to go home to retrieve his current strongest equipment—the Dragon Knight Set—and some other preparations.
Additionally, since this trip is to take Little Red Pupil to release energy, he has another important matter to attend to.
He must inform the girls of his plan to go to the Saint Ruins.
After all, in a sense, Little Red Pupil can be considered his and the girls’ shared daughter.
Of course, the daughter’s trip needs to be reported.
And his own older sister must also be informed. After all, Su Lulu, as the aunt, is quite fond of Little Red Pupil.
After making this decision, Su Qi quickly found a group chat on his phone’s Tencent app called ‘Garden Group Chat,’ which was a seven-person chat.
He snapped a photo of Little Red Pupil’s watermelon-sized belly and sent it with two lines of text:
—Little Red Pupil must have sneaked something to eat last night. Now her belly is a little watermelon. I decided to take her to the Saint Ruins to release the energy in her tummy.
—I’m heading back to Muyang Community now, then to the Saint Ruins. Anyone want to come along?
The Garden Group Chat was created by An Xiaoling. The reason for the name, according to An Xiaoling, was that they were all girls, each a delicate flower, so together they formed a garden.
But Su Qi felt that An Xiaoling, this lily girl, probably wanted it to be called ‘Lily Group Chat,’ but because his sister was in it, she settled for ‘Garden.’
Almost as soon as Su Qi sent that message, the next second, Gu Wen Yin, Lin Xue, and An Xiaoling all saw it.
The reason they reacted so quickly was a bit complicated.
Because all three were sleeping with Spirit Energy Bracelets on.
After midnight last night, feeling the bracelets spray waves of spiritual energy, the three high-level adventurers woke up almost immediately.
Logically, spiritual energy fluctuations wouldn’t disturb sleep; rather, the dense spiritual energy would purify the air and improve sleep quality.
But they lost sleep because the frequency of this fluctuation was strange.
Having worn the bracelets for so long, they had discovered the secret: every fluctuation meant Su Qi was being intimate with a girl.
At first, Gu Wen Yin, Lin Xue, and An Xiaoling didn’t think much of it.
After all, they knew Su Qi had taken Little Red Pupil to Mo Yu’s house to stay overnight.
All three had experience feeding Little Red Pupil and roughly understood why Su Qi was staying at Mo Yu’s.
They even felt a bit relieved.
After all, feeding a baby was embarrassing.
But with someone else joining in, it felt less shameful.
Because of this, none of them interfered when Su Qi stayed over. They had some expectations.
Last night, when the spiritual energy began to fluctuate, they thought everything was normal.
But gradually, as time passed, they noticed something strange.
Why was the fluctuation getting faster and faster? And it seemed like it wasn’t just Mo Yu—there was someone else?
The aura seemed to carry a hint of holiness. Could it be Ye Fufu?
Realizing this, Gu Wen Yin, Lin Xue, and An Xiaoling all had big question marks over their heads.
What was going on?
Because of these questions, Gu Wen Yin, the succubus, lost sleep out of jealousy.
Lin Xue, the Blood Princess, lost sleep due to hunger and envy.
An Xiaoling, the black-hearted elf loli, lost sleep wondering what position Su Qi was in.
Thus, the moment Su Qi sent that message, they all replied instantly to find out what was happening.
Three identical responses appeared in perfect sync: “I’m coming too.”
At the same time, they quickly dressed and headed toward Muyang Community.
Ding dong ding dong~
Feeling his phone vibrate three times in a row, Su Qi was startled. He hadn’t expected them to be awake so early and reply so quickly.
As he was surprised, his gaze inadvertently fell on Ye Fufu, who was sitting beside him with a faint smile and mouthing, “Master, it seems our relationship has been discovered,” while raising her bracelet.
Then, realizing what was happening, Su Qi couldn’t help but shiver.
Emmmm… Were Gu Wen Yin, Lin Xue, and An Xiaoling coming to question him?
Why did he feel like he was a bad husband who secretly cheated on his wife?
No, last night was unavoidable.
If he explained properly, they would probably forgive him.
Wait, no. How should he explain? And taking the initiative to explain seemed strange.
But if he didn’t, he felt he would face some terrible punishment.
While Su Qi was feeling troubled and his mouth drooped,
At the same time,
At the Su residence, on the soft sofa, Su Lulu had a smile on her face.
“Haha, what did Little Red Pupil eat to become a little watermelon? That’s too cute!”
As the only person in the Garden Group Chat who was blood-related to Su Qi but, in a sense, an outsider, Su Lulu had no idea where Little Red Pupil’s ‘little watermelon’ came from.
She was currently holding Su Xixi, who had been used as a body pillow all night and looked lifeless, while cheerfully looking at the picture Su Qi sent and teasing.
As her phone moved, Su Xixi, in Su Lulu’s arms, saw the ‘little watermelon’ picture. Unlike Su Lulu’s amusement, Su Xixi showed an envious look, and tears of emotion flowed from its mouth uncontrollably.
All day yesterday, Su Xixi had only eaten Su Qi’s leftover Shuxi Bento from breakfast.
Although Su Lulu could cook and had ordered takeout for dinner, the taste and nutrition were far inferior to Su Qi’s Bento and Shuxi Bento.
To save its little belly for the ‘Clan Leader’s’ feeding,
Su Xixi was still hungry.
Its fluffy little belly was flat.
Su Xixi had thought Little Red Pupil would be equally pitiful and hungry.
But seeing this picture, Su Xixi felt terrible about itself.
What a stark contrast!
My belly is flat, and you turned into a little watermelon.
You must have eaten something good! Otherwise, how could you eat so much?
Ugh, could it be that the Clan Leader’s portion for me was eaten by Little Red Pupil?
Unfair! So unfair!
