"No need!" Liu Yunyi said hurriedly, her face flushed red.
Su Luo rose with a smile, waving one hand as he headed into the kitchen.
"No need to be so polite. Just wait!"
A few minutes later, Su Luo came out carrying a steaming bowl of brown sugar ginger tea.
He set the bowl before Liu Yunyi and told her not to stand on ceremony.
Then, Su Luo turned his attention to the television.
He wanted to catch up on the latest news.
More specifically, he wanted to see whether any geniuses had emerged during the Tianlong Kingdom's college entrance examinations.
Sure enough, quite a few SSS-Class Ability users had awakened this year.
Unfortunately, the geniuses reported in the news all seemed somewhat lacking to him.
He felt that even if they came at him together, they would not be able to harm him in the slightest.
He let out a disappointed sigh.
When he turned his head, he discovered that Liu Yunyi had already finished her ginger tea.
She was wearing a blissful expression as she rubbed her slightly heated little belly.
When she noticed Su Luo looking at her, she immediately pretended that nothing had happened.
Su Luo gave a faint chuckle and rose to take the bowl.
"There's more ginger tea. I'll make you another bowl."
"During this time, you shouldn't exercise too intensely. It isn't good for your body."
His exceptionally considerate manner stood in stark contrast to the immensely proud Su Luo from before.
It left Liu Yunyi feeling both strange and utterly puzzled.
When Su Luo set another bowl of ginger tea before her.
She could not help asking:
"Su Luo, why is the way you are now different from how you are when you fight?"
"If you agree to fight, then you should take your opponent seriously and defeat them until they are convinced. Is that wrong?" Su Luo asked, confused.
At those words, Liu Yunyi was completely choked up, her mouth open but no words coming out.
Su Luo was indeed right.
One had to take battle seriously.
Still, he had just thoroughly defeated her, only to treat her so thoughtfully afterward. It made her feel terribly strange.
Just then.
A succession of footsteps came from the staircase on the second floor.
It seemed the two sisters had adjusted their mindsets and come downstairs.
The two sisters had already gotten dressed.
They stood at the top of the stairs.
Their faces were all flushed crimson.
Looking at the two people seated on the sofa, they did not dare take another step forward.
Su Luo sighed and walked over.
Arriving before the two sisters, he said sincerely:
"Huaiyue, Huaiyu."
"I know you two must be feeling very embarrassed right now."
"If you mind, I can move out immediately."
Upon hearing this, Liu Yunyi secretly smiled in delight.
After something so embarrassing had happened, Huaiyue and Huaiyu certainly would not let him keep living here.
Though there had been some unexpected complications, the outcome was good.
The moment Su Luo finished speaking.
The two sisters exchanged a glance and forcefully suppressed their shyness.
They gathered their courage, raised their heads, and looked at Su Luo.
Shen Huaiyue said seriously:
"We've both thought it over."
"The main reason for this accident was us. We were the ones who were too careless."
"Su Luo, neither of us blames you."
Shen Huaiyu quickly followed, speaking haltingly:
"Su... Su Luo, let this matter end here."
"We... no one is allowed to bring it up again!"
As Shen Huaiyu spoke, she looked toward Liu Yunyi as well.
"That includes Yunyi. None of us is allowed to bring it up again!"
Liu Yunyi nodded blankly.
Then she collapsed weakly onto the sofa.
What was going on?
After something like that happened, they could still tolerate this man staying in their home? Were they not afraid it would be awkward?
The sisters' considerate words warmed Su Luo's heart.
"Fine, I promise you. No one is allowed to bring this matter up again."
After that, the living room sank into silence.
Seeing this, Su Luo immediately said, "I'll head back to my room first. You girls have fun."
Then he swiftly returned to his room.
He left the sisters and Liu Yunyi some space to whisper among themselves.
Hearing the sound of Su Luo closing his bedroom door.
The two sisters immediately let out sighs of relief.
They looked at Liu Yunyi, who was watching them with an odd expression, and smiled nervously.
"Yunyi."
"Yunyi."
Liu Yunyi showed no reaction to the sisters' greetings.
She rose and walked over to them.
She circled them, examining them closely as if verifying whether they truly were her best friends.
After a long while, Liu Yunyi suddenly asked:
"You two were famous at school for hating boys."
"Why are you so tolerant of this man named Su Luo?"
Liu Yunyi's question left the two sisters unsure how to answer for a moment.
"Um... Su Luo... he..." Shen Huaiyue's cheeks reddened. She fidgeted and stammered, not knowing what to say.
At that moment, Shen Huaiyu stepped forward.
"If it weren't for Su Luo's special training, my sister and I could never have improved so quickly!"
"That's why we're so tolerant of Su Luo."
Hearing that, Liu Yunyi nodded in agreement.
After forming a team with the sisters over the past three days, she had also noticed that they had indeed improved at a tremendous pace.
It was not only their physical fitness that had improved, but their combat ability as well.
For this college entrance examination, she had originally thought that the two of them could only play supporting roles.
The facts proved that she had indeed underestimated them.
"That reason does make sense." Liu Yunyi stared at the nervous sisters and nodded in approval.
Hearing Liu Yunyi's approval.
The two sisters finally put their minds completely at ease.
At least Liu Yunyi would not interrogate them to the bitter end.
After returning to his room, Su Luo pulled aside his clothes.
Looking at his smooth shoulder, he revealed a mysterious smile.
With a thought, he summoned the Devil Fruit Tree panel.
Devil Fruit Tree [D-Class] [Requires ten Level 3 Crystal Cores to advance] Devil Fruits awaiting fruition [4/6] Devil Fruits currently borne: Paw-Paw Fruit, Gravity-Gravity Fruit, Tremor-Tremor Fruit, Phoenix Fruit.
"One Level 3 Crystal Core in exchange for a Phoenix Fruit was absolutely worth it!"
When he had successfully advanced the Devil Fruit Tree to D-Class.
He had fed it the Level 3 Crystal Core obtained from killing the Obsidian Boar.
In return, he had received the Bird-Bird Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Phoenix Fruit.
The Phoenix Fruit was the Devil Fruit of Marco, the commander and ship doctor of the Whitebeard Pirates' First Division.
Whoever ate the fruit would gain an extremely powerful regenerative ability.
Even if their heart and brain were destroyed, they could regenerate.
However, regeneration consumed one's physical strength; it was not as though they could not be injured at all.
The more severe the injury, the more physical strength recovery consumed.
Once one's physical strength was overly depleted, even if injured, they would no longer regenerate.
After eating the Phoenix Fruit and cultivating diligently over these past days.
His Ability Level had already reached Noble Fifth Order.
He had basically pulled ahead of his peers by an entire major realm.
He remained in his room until the afternoon.
Su Luo did not come out until it was time to make dinner.
At this moment, the three girls were leisurely lounging on the sofa.
On the television before them.
An emergency news broadcast was playing.
It roughly said that a large-scale plague had broken out in a city somewhere in the south.
That city had now been completely sealed off.
After a detailed investigation.
It was discovered to be the work of the world-class evil organization.
The Star God Society.
One of the Thirteen Demon Generals.
The Capricorn Demon General.
A wielder of the SSS-Class Ability, Great Plague Demon.
Aiven Habis had spread the plague virus throughout the city.
At present, Aiven Habis had been jointly defeated by the city's experts, after which his whereabouts became unknown.
