Xu Nan felt a little awkward. As the guardian of an Infant God, always relying on his face to get by was indeed a little undignified.
But he had earned his good looks through sheer ability, and he was a sorcerer too. What was wrong with using charm to solve problems?
Of course, he could say that to anyone else, but bringing it up in front of Susie, whose possessiveness and jealousy were gradually awakening, was practically asking for death.
So he tried to change the subject. "You're awake? Did something here disturb you?"
Xu Nan was no fool. As Tiamat's reincarnation, Susie was the best sleeper among the Three Treasures of the Treasure Chest. Normally, she remained utterly unmoved, conserving her strength.
Even in her Chalk Cat form, she could not be bothered to stretch out an extra paw when Xu Nan fed her.
Getting her to come out was practically an impossible mission.
According to Ma Jia's explanation, the more powerful a creature was, the more sleep it needed during its youth. Dragons and gods were naturally among the strongest beings in the multiverse. Even if Bronze Dragons were not quite that powerful, and even if Ma Jia had already passed the childhood stage of being plagued by drowsiness, she still needed a great deal of sleep to ensure her strength kept growing.
Let alone a reincarnated god like Susie.
That was why Xu Nan usually treated her as his final trump card. He had not expected her to jump out on her own this time.
He believed this girl had definitely not emerged merely because she could not stand watching him use his handsome face to swindle people everywhere.
There was something wrong with this island!
That unusual stirring deep within his bloodline had already proven it.
