"Hey, why are you crying?" Mavis asked in shock.
"Huh? Really..." Su Xi wiped her eyes and found a tiny drop of water. She rolled her eyes and said, "This doesn't count as crying, does it?"
Mavis pouted. "Your eyes are red."
Su Xi: "..."
"Ouch, that hurts!"
Su Xi gave Mavis a hard punch on the head before going out with Kurumi to pick up Su Yu from school.
Su Yu's classroom is not far away.
After all, for convenience and safety, and to guard against events like monster hordes, schools, hospitals, and other facilities were built near the Adventurer's Guild, and Su Yu went to school there.
The curriculum in schools has changed a lot, with Bunbun becoming a top priority. It seems that China is thinking about connecting with the stars in the future, so passing on its culture is the most important thing.
Other subjects include herbalism, dietetics, disease, and wartime operations (physical education). Of course, some basic subjects still exist, but since Su Yu is only in third grade, these basic subjects, such as math, chemistry, and biology, are postponed until middle school...
The two stood not far from the school.
Knowing that Su Yu was taking classes here, it was normal for some parents to see Kurumi every day. However, they didn't expect Su Xi herself to come today, which sparked a lot of discussion.
The video of Su Xi conquering all 100 levels of the Colosseum is still trending on the Mind Net.
Players are currently speculating about just how outrageous Su Xi's attributes are.
Su Xi suddenly said, "Speaking of which, why don't we take Su Yu to see her mother and then tell her who we are?"
"Su Yu is still young, she may not understand that much."
Kurumi shook her head, clearly indicating her refusal.
"She's almost 8 years old, not a child anymore. Besides, it wouldn't be fair to you if we didn't tell Su Yu."
Kurumi fell silent.
Then he said, "It's good to be Kurumi sister now. Let's talk about identity later. If we tell Su Yu rashly, not only will Su Yu be troubled, but Mavis will probably be troubled as well."
"And I'm also very troubled. You don't have a deep impression of Su Yu's death in your past life, but I remember it very clearly... To be honest, how I am doing is not very important. What's important is that I want Su Yu to be doing well. But when Su Yu died, I still can't face that confused and empty look in her eyes."
"To this day, I dare not think about what Su Yu was thinking back then. Would she blame me? Or would she pray to God? Or would she ask fate why she had such a miserable life?"
"I don't know, and I don't dare to think about it."
Kurumi spoke softly, but Su Xi could sense the weight in her words.
Su Xi had already forgotten most of the memories that Kurumi had transmitted to Qiqi, because the trajectory of most things in her life had changed so much that it was no exaggeration to say that they were unrecognizable. Therefore, Su Xi no longer had any sense of identification with the memories in her mind. Except for occasionally recalling one particular event, she would not remember them unless she thought about them carefully.
There is a fundamental difference between her and Kurumi, who I personally experienced.
Su Xi sighed, "Alright, it's up to you. If you want to tell her the truth when the time comes, I can turn back the clock to reveal the truth of fate."
The two were chatting quietly.
School finally let out.
Su Yu and her friends were skipping and jumping as they left the school gate.
Kurumi's figure was very conspicuous among the parents, so Su Yu saw her as soon as she came out of the school gate, and also saw her aunt standing next to Kurumi.
In that instant, a smile as bright as the sun bloomed on Su Yu's face.
After saying goodbye to her friends, Su Yu rushed into Su Xi's arms and happily shouted, "Auntie, Kurumi- neechan!"
School's out!
"Um!"
"Then let's go home."
"Hey, Auntie, Kurumi, I have something to tell you... at school..."
The next day, since there were no classes, all four of them went out for a trip.
Su Xi originally thought she would have to carry Su Yu and fly, but Su Yu summoned a balloon herself and was able to fly.
This is one of the new talent skills that has been unlocked: [Balloon Can Carry You Flying]: Summons a balloon to carry you flying at a maximum speed of 100 meters per second, but be careful of sharp weapons, otherwise the balloon will explode.
It has strange and unusual abilities, and its flight speed isn't slow either...
This skill is still ranked ninth, with eight strange skills ahead of it.
Su Xi had seen the four skills before: [The Witch's Apple], [The Princess Will Be Kidnapped by Dragon], [The Little Girl's Match], and [The Liar's Nose Will Grow Long]. The skill effects were similar to before, but there were some enhancements.
During her time in the Starry Sky, Kurumi must have opened quite a few Talent Chest with Su Yu.
Then Su Xi looked at the newly acquired skill.
⑤ Princes are all frogs: You can turn a frog into a prince, or a prince into a frog. Duration: 60 minutes, Cooldown: 120 minutes.
⑥ Cinderella's Glass Slipper: Summons a magical princess dress, granting you magical abilities. When wearing the magical outfit, magic damage increases by 50% and damage taken is reduced by 50%. The outfit's effects will disappear after midnight. Cooldown time: 8 hours.
⑦ The Power of the Pea: Your body can shrink to one-tenth of its original size for up to 60 minutes. Cooldown: 24 hours.
⑧ Sleep Magic (Passive): You don't need to worry about insomnia, and after being seriously injured, you can recover faster through sleep, but you need a kiss from your loved one to wake up.
That really shows how talkative Tongtong is.
Su Yu's talent is truly extraordinary.
However, as they flew, Su Yu was eventually picked up by Su Xi.
The four of them spent half a day at the seaside, frying some fish, having a barbecue, and setting off fireworks in the evening before ending their day's trip.
Back to the Meta World.
Regarding the entrances to the Ancient Ecosystem, we learned from Elysia that there are several.
One of them is in the capital of the Beastman Empire. The entrance is guarded by the Orcs. Although the animals inside are very powerful, they are still different from the Orcs. Therefore, Emperor Shi Yuan arranged for people to guard the entrance. If any animal tries to escape, he must be notified immediately.
The other one is in the far north, in the witch's realm, but the entrance is covered by thick snow, so it probably won't be found for a while.
The last one is in the Goliath Giant Territory. The giants seem to be members of the Ancient Ecosystem, only they came out of it.
After thinking it over, since I had never been to the Giant Territory and was not familiar with it, I finally decided to seek out His Shi Yuan.
Old Deng seems quite afraid of her; he probably won't object if I choose to use that entrance.
On the Holy Tree, Su Xi stroked her chin, contemplating her next move.
At this moment, a message came from the Mind Net.
It was Yan Hu I hadn't contacted in a long time.
"Your Highness Su, I saw you went out to play yesterday, so I didn't want to bother you. I was wondering if you're free today?"
Su Xi raised an eyebrow. Another job was coming her way?
But now she doesn't lack Gold Coin, so she probably doesn't need to take on their missions anymore.
Hmm... out of politeness, let's hear what the mission is first.
"Hmm, we'll see."
Yan Hu, who saw the message, broke out in a bead of sweat on his forehead, speechless. What did it mean?
