Ark Simulator, Don't I Have No Physical Form?

Looking at these photos, even Maria can feel the joy in Centaurea's eyes.

Centaurea explained with a touch of pride, "I deliberately only used my fists to hit them, because that way I could beat them up hard without causing too much damage, so they could still work normally after being hit."

"Hmm, very well done."

Su Rui couldn't help but be infected by Centaurea's mood and smiled happily.

Even Maria, though somewhat uneasy seeing the two Lazurite figures with bruises and swelling, still sensed Centaurea's joy.

Having learned the whole story from Su Rui, Maria now felt that Centaurea had done the right thing.

After the pleasant chat ended, Centaurea waved goodbye to Su Rui and Maria:

"Then I won't disturb your date any longer, bosses. Have fun!"

"Is this considered a date?" Maria blushed shyly.

Su Rui looked at her with some doubt. "What else did you think? Is there anything about our relationship that needs explaining?"

"I just didn't expect you to be so fast!"

Maria said this, blushing and somewhat avoiding direct eye contact with Su Rui.

Su Rui nudged Maria with her shoulder. "Is that so? So in Maria's eyes we're not really boyfriend and girlfriend? Then can I go talk to the Candle Knight about helping her?"

"Of course not!" Maria exclaimed, her expression immediately turning agitated as she grabbed Su Rui's hand.

"Su Rui is mine! She can't go looking for other women!"

"So you were hesitating just now? Huh?" Su Rui rolled her eyes in annoyance. Maria's behavior was the kind where she clearly knew about her relationship with Su Rui but was too afraid to admit it. If it were a different gender, wouldn't that make her a total jerk?

However, considering Su Rui's situation, he did indeed lack the stance to directly question Maria, because of the existence of the Upper System, Su Rui could not stay by Maria's side indefinitely.

After Maria finally admitted to her relationship with Su Rui, she no longer seemed ashamed. She grabbed Su Rui's wrist and they strolled around the shopping street, having a great time.

It wasn't until it was getting late that Maria gradually realized she had been out a bit too late, so late that Zofia had already called.

Maria answered Zofia's call and immediately heard Zofia's teasing voice:

"Maria ~ Why haven't you called me yet? Are you really planning to stay out with Su Rui?"

"No, I was just about to call you!"

Maria immediately retorted to Zofia's words in a flustered manner, but before she could finish speaking, Su Rui patted her on the shoulder:

"Okay, stop thinking about it. Zofia's just teasing you. Her car's already parked there."

"Huh?" Maria paused for a moment, then turned her head and followed Su Rui's gaze, only to see Zofia leaning against the car window:

"Aunt? But I haven't called you at all!"

"Because I called her."

Su Rui grabbed Maria's hand and walked towards Zofia's car.

"If it gets any later, we'll really have to stay out all night. I don't want to spend the night in a hotel; there might be something dirty in there."

Maria was momentarily speechless. She had actually had that thought in mind, but she couldn't say it directly at the moment.

However, Maria was also slightly resentful of Su Rui's actions, reaching out to pinch Su Rui's cheek. "You took it upon yourself to use the password; I was already about to call my aunt."

"Yes, yes, yes, you're right." Su Rui ignored Maria's stubbornness and urged her on.

"Alright, get in the car, we're heading back."

"Hmm." Maria and Su Rui sat down in the back seat together. Still a little annoyed, Maria thought for a moment and then leaned close to Su Rui's cheek and bit her cheek.

"What are you doing?" Su Rui looked at Maria in confusion. It was more like a kiss than a bite, but Maria seemed to want to swallow Su Rui whole, though she didn't have a big enough mouth.

"Alright, Maria, at least don't do it in front of me, okay?" Zofia, driving the car, watched Maria's actions, and her lips twitched involuntarily.

"I know you young people are a bit impatient, but we're still on the bus."

"No, Aunt! I just want to... want to take a bite of Su Rui."

But as Maria said this, she realized that her statement was not convincing at all.

However, these awkward moments quickly passed, as Zofia turned back to focus on driving, while Maria instinctively buried her face in Su Rui's chest and whispered:

"I didn't mean to do that."

"Alright, alright, I know. Maria is a pure and lovely pony; she wouldn't think about such bad things."

Su Rui patted Maria's head gently, as if comforting a child. Although it was a bit childish, Maria accepted Su Rui's reassurance with great pleasure.

However, while Maria obediently accepted Su Rui's comfort in her arms, she felt a little embarrassed. In fact, she had some wicked thoughts, such as locking Su Rui up and then taking full advantage of her to teach her a lesson.

After all, with her true appearance revealed, Su Rui was simply too tempting.

Maria was too embarrassed to communicate these thoughts with Su Rui telepathically, so she could only keep them to herself.

Volume 5, Chapter 285 Maria: There's no Knight Tournament tomorrow!

As Zofia watched Su Rui and Maria's intimate actions in the back seat, a smile crept onto her lips, but she couldn't help feeling a little awkward; she felt like a super-powerful third wheel.

With this thought in mind, Zofia quickened her pace and soon brought Maria and Su Rui back to her manor, where they got out of the car.

"You two remember to go back to your room and rest early, because it's easy to catch a cold if you sleep outside, and the car isn't very warm either."

After saying that, Zofia hurriedly walked away from the car.

If she continued watching from there, she worried she wouldn't be able to resist physically separating Maria and Su Rui and then giving those two seemingly inconsiderate people a good lesson.

Maria glanced at her Aunt Zofia as she walked away, and couldn't help but think of something she had subconsciously ignored before. Leaning against Su Rui's thigh, her hands began to wander.

Now that no one's around, doesn't that mean she can do whatever she wants?

With this thought in mind, Maria's lips couldn't help but curl into a smile. Besides, even if Su Rui wanted to escape at this moment, she certainly wouldn't be able to escape in the confined space of the car, right?

With this thought in mind, Maria sat up, staring straight at Su Rui, her thoughts obvious, before Su Rui quickly pressed her head down.

"Alright, I don't mind playing around with you here, but don't you think it's harder to perform well if the car is too far away?"

Su Rui glanced at the car. When Zofia bought the car, she didn't consider whether there would be enough space in the back seat for intimate moments. Su Rui didn't want to accidentally bump her head while playing games with Maria. Besides, she felt a bit strange in a particularly cramped space.

Maria nodded. While agreeing with Su Rui, Maria was also worried that Su Rui might change his mind after returning home. She couldn't help but reach out and grab Su Rui's wrist, fearing that he might go back on his word and run away.

"Alright, shall we go back first? At least, I don't want to stay here. After all, the seats in the car are nowhere near as comfortable as a sofa."

As Su Rui spoke, she opened the car door and got out from the other side.

To prevent Su Rui from escaping, Maria could get off the bus in the direction Su Rui got off, and immediately grab Su Rui's wrist tightly.

Su Rui didn't pay attention to her little schemes, but glanced at the time. "It's already past ten o'clock at night, are you sure you want to keep dawdling here with me like this?"

"Of course not!" Ten o'clock is usually when Maria is asleep, except, of course, we have to exclude the times when Maria sometimes stays up late to watch the Knight Tournament.

So, when Maria found out the time, she couldn't help but feel anxious and instinctively wanted to pull Su Rui along and run.

"Hmph, getting impatient? Then run faster."

Su Rui jumped and wrapped her arms around Maria's neck, pressing herself against Maria from behind and pointing her finger in Maria's direction.

"I know~"

Maria said, grabbing Su Rui's legs with both hands, and then dashed out, her crisp, loud footsteps echoing in Zofia's castle hall, startling Zofia who had just come out of the kitchen after making coffee.

"Don't run so fast at night! And it's so noisy!"

Zofia glanced at Maria's retreating figure as she rushed upstairs without even saying goodbye, took a sip of coffee, and didn't chase after her to lecture her.

What if we go up there now and happen to see Maria and Su Rui being affectionate?

Although Maria and Su Rui had just returned to their room, judging from Maria's anxious appearance, Zofia had no doubt that she probably dragged Su Rui into playing games as soon as she walked in.

Moreover, with a muffled "bang!", Zofia was startled and rolled her eyes helplessly. Maria had already closed the door and should have locked it from the inside.

So Zofia didn't even plan to go upstairs. There were places to sleep on the first floor too. She'd just leave the time and space to Su Rui and Maria today. After all, these two young people, like dry tinder and a raging fire... who knew what kind of commotion they'd cause?

With this in mind, Zofia turned on the TV, sipping her coffee from time to time. After learning about Maria's plans for the night, Zofia also found it hard to fall asleep.

However, adults have their own ways of passing the time, and staying up late to watch TV is one of them.

Although the evening programs weren't very interesting, and the TV would sometimes even stop broadcasting altogether, Zofia at least helped pass the time.

While Zofia was drinking coffee and watching TV, Maria, after locking the door, couldn't wait to fall onto the soft bed with Su Rui and let out a cheer.

"Keep your voice down~ It's nighttime, aren't you worried about disturbing the neighbors?"

Although there's only Zofia nearby who can be disturbed, the sudden noise at night can still be worrying.

Maria was slightly scolded by Su Rui, then subconsciously rolled over, looking down at Su Rui and letting out a few strange laughs.

"Su Rui ~ You still want to teach me a lesson? No one can stop me now~"

With this thought in mind, Maria's lips curled into a wild smile, as if hoping to see Su Rui intimidated by her aura, and she let out a somewhat... infatuated laugh, "Hehe, hehehe~"

"This sound doesn't suit you; I suggest you stop doing it."

Su Rui rolled her eyes in annoyance, then Maria suddenly covered her mouth with a kiss, and at the same time, she heard Maria's voice in her mind: 'Idiot Su Rui, I've been waiting for you to show a weakness. Now you can't resist me, can you?'

Is it possible that I couldn't even be considered to be resisting? Su Rui slapped Maria with dissatisfaction, which Maria saw as a kind of dissatisfied struggle.

Then, Maria intensified her bullying and gradually figured out how to do it:

"Don't run away! Luckily, we don't have Knight Tournament to participate in tomorrow, otherwise I really wouldn't dare to be so direct."

"Speaking of which, the physical constitution of the Terra is rather absurd, but it seems there are similar examples among normal humans as well?"

Su Rui was pondering the question when Maria pulled her back to thinking, complaining, "Right now, Su Rui's attention should be focused on me, don't think about so much!"

"You're the one who changed the subject!"

Volume 5, Chapter 286: Auntie, go get some sleep.

The next morning, Zofia, who had stayed up all night, poured herself another cup of coffee and sat on the sofa, looking at her phone to pass the time, feeling a little tired.

The television was still on. The period when television was off-air had passed. Although Zofia had no intention of watching television, it wasn't bad to have it on to create some atmosphere on a lonely morning.

Just then, Zofia's ears twitched, and she looked up towards the stairs. The footsteps sounded unfamiliar; they didn't seem to belong to Maria.

Then, Zofia met Su Rui's gaze as she yawned and came downstairs.

"Su Rui? Why are you up so early? Maria said you really like to sleep in." Zofia teased, amused.

"I do like to sleep in, but I do wake up early sometimes."

Su Rui retorted to Zofia with some resentment, "For example, today, Maria slept like a log after playing games. I was planning to go to sleep too, but after looking at the time, I couldn't fall asleep."

"So you just finished?" Zofia's lips twitched slightly as she glanced at the time. Even if she was curious about the contact they had just had, this had taken far too long.

"Isn't that outrageous? I think so too."

Su Rui went downstairs and then staggered to the kitchen. "If I go to sleep now, I might sleep until noon or even the afternoon, which isn't good. I have other plans."

"Really?" Zofia stood up as well, leaning against the kitchen doorway as she watched Su Rui busy preparing breakfast. "So what were your original plans?"

"Of course I'm planning to watch Maria train and play games. It feels so good to watch others work while I relax. It's a pity Maria just fell asleep."

As Su Rui spoke, she prepared two simple breakfasts and glanced at Zofia standing at the kitchen door:

"There are only two breakfasts available. Would you like me to bring them to you?"

"Then I'll leave it to you. I want to watch TV." Zofia smiled, left the kitchen doorway, and sat down on the sofa in front of the TV.

Su Rui placed breakfast in front of Zofia, then leaned back on the sofa, lazily watching the news on television.

"Aren't you going to make Zofia breakfast?"

"Let's talk about it when she wakes up. She's just fallen asleep. Do you expect me to wake her up?"

Su Rui casually remarked, taking a sip of her coffee, then frowned slightly. "I thought different coffees would taste better."

"Of course it will be better, my coffee here is..."

Before Zofia could finish speaking, Su Rui leaned close to the coffee cup in her hand and gently sniffed it. The sudden intimate gesture made Zofia instinctively hold her breath, but she knew that Su Rui was just curious about her coffee and didn't have any other intentions.

This left Zofia feeling somewhat frustrated and resentful. She was clearly a very attractive woman, so why didn't Su Rui feel anything for her?

Although Su Rui does seem a bit naive, and his connection with Maria is so close, does that mean others can't join in?

With this thought in mind, Zofia couldn't help but swallow hard. "Su Rui..."

"Huh? What's wrong?" Su Rui stood up after glancing at Zofia's coffee and was about to head towards the kitchen when Zofia called her back. She turned to look at her with some confusion.
