'No, you have to charge at least some interest.'

Vulpisfoglia's eyes flickered, and she reached out and placed a hand on Su Rui's shoulder. "Su Rui ~"

"Hmm?" Vulpisfoglia's voice immediately alerted Su Rui. If he were still in his Nine-Tails form, his ears would definitely be perked up warily, right?

Vulpisfoglia didn't intend to make things too difficult for Su Rui, but simply leaned close to his ear and whispered:

"Want to play games with me later?"

"Me too." Texas's cold but confident voice rang out from the other side of Su Rui.

"Okay, I understand." Su Rui nodded. Although he was a little troubled, his mood quickly improved under the influence of the food.

However, Exusiai would have to endure the Exusiai a little longer. Su Rui silently apologized to Exusiai, "Sorry, Exusiai, I need to borrow your body a little longer."

"It's okay! I don't mind at all!" Exusiai responded cheerfully to Su Rui's words. She was probably giving her a thumbs up in her mind right now, wasn't she?

So, after dinner, Suzuran, who had planned to play games with Su Rui, was picked up by Texas and carried towards the stairs.

"Shall we go to the room on the top floor to kill some time, Little Lisa?"

Texas said, pressing the elevator button.

The tacit understanding between her and Vulpisfoglia was so obvious that it didn't need any discussion. When Vulpisfoglia was enjoying a massage from Su Rui, Texas would naturally take care of Suzuran Texas, and vice versa.

So, when Vulpisfoglia grabbed Su Rui's wrist, he immediately sensed something was wrong:

"If it's just for playing games, is it really necessary to avoid Suzuran?"

"At times like this, both Texas and I still want to be alone with you."

Vulpisfoglia's words were somewhat ambiguous as she pulled Su Rui into the room.

"... I'm sorry Exusiai."

"Huh? What's wrong?" Exusiai asked, puzzled as to why Su Rui was suddenly apologizing.

"What kind of shows do you like to watch? I'll play one for you now."

"I don't really have any favorite TV shows, but wouldn't it be interesting to watch you and Vulpisfoglia interact?"

It's fine, it's just playing games anyway.

With this in mind, Su Rui quickly started playing a program for Exusiai field of vision, and reminded her:

"You can freely change the programs you browse using your own thoughts."

As she spoke, Exusiai suddenly felt a blur before her eyes, and then found herself in a closed environment, with only an empty space around her and the screen in front of her.

Although we can still see interactions between Su Rui and Vulpisfoglia, the atmosphere here feels a bit too desolate.

With this in mind, Su Rui also focused, and he and Vulpisfoglia cooperated to start playing the game, which they had become somewhat rusty with.

"Hurry up, Su Rui, don't get killed by the monster!"

Meanwhile, Exusiai, on the other hand, wasn't drawn to the television program; instead, she became more aware of the space she was in.

"Could this be where Su Rui usually stays? It's so shabby."

Exusiai's attention quickly shifted to this System Space. She was very curious about what Su Rui usually did.

Volume 3, Chapter 158: Su Rui's Memories

Exusiai observed the System Space where Su Rui usually stayed. There was only a comfortable and large chair that one could curl up in, and the rest was a huge space with no end in sight.

Is this the room where Su Rui usually stays?

Exusiai couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy. Was this the kind of boring and monotonous scene he usually faced?

Actually, that's not the case. Su Rui spends most of his attention Scanning Vision everything outside his host's world, looking for amusement, so his life isn't as boring as Exusiai imagines.

Exusiai was searching the space where Su Rui was, quickly noticed two photos posted in a prominent position on the wall. Anyone sitting in that chair could see them by looking up.

A photo of a Nine-Tailed Fox fox boy with Vulpisfoglia of the Suzuran, and another photo of a Drak boy and a Drak woman under the moonlight.

They were all heartwarming photos, and no matter how the racial characteristics changed, Exusiai immediately noticed that the beautiful boy's appearance and body remained unchanged.

This must be Su Rui, right? I wonder what Su Rui would look like as Sankta?

With some confusion, Exusiai scanned her surroundings and noticed that there was more than just this chair; there were also photos and a large pile of other things not far away.

Exusiai walked over curiously, rummaging through the various things piled together, just like a raccoon rummaging through a trash can.

She quickly lost interest, because what was piled up inside were just some basic necessities, food, and tools; there was nothing special about it.

If there was anything that could attract Exusiai's attention, it would be the explosives and crossbow bolts that Su Rui and Vulpisfoglia had prepared when they intercepted the assassins from Syracuse who were chasing them on their way to the Eastern Kingdom.

The red-haired angel reached out and picked up a crossbow bolt with great interest, eagerly wanting to fire it at the open space. However, she discovered that no matter what she did, she couldn't fire the bolt.

It was as if all the objects were frozen in time, only reacting when she touched them.

Exusiai cocked the crossbow, then released it, placing the explosive bolt on the crossbow before attempting to fire it at the open space in the distance.

Then she discovered that even after she pulled the trigger, the bowstrings that should have tightened and launched the explosive bolts did not tighten; they simply remained drawn, without any change.

Only when Exusiai placed her hand on the bowstring with a hint of doubt did she sense that the bowstring seemed to have changed slightly.

Everything in this space is static, so there's absolutely no possibility of causing an explosion here.

After noticing this, Exusiai turned around somewhat bored and lay down on the cold ground.

Because the ground does not conduct heat, Exusiai only felt the touch.

Soon, Exusiai, having lost interest, sat in the chair that Su Rui usually sat in, curled up, and looked at the screen above.

So this is how Su Rui usually spends his time? I suddenly feel a little sorry for him...

With these thoughts in mind, Exusiai couldn't help but feel a little dejected, watching the TV program projected onto the screen by Su Rui in mid-air, feeling somewhat bored.

At that moment, Su Rui had just finished massaging Vulpisfoglia and was covering Vulpisfoglia with a blanket. Looking at Vulpisfoglia thought for a moment and then reached out to wake her up.

"Alright, next up is Texas, right? You two must have already discussed it."

As Su Rui spoke, she leaned back wearily on the sofa, looking at Vulpisfoglia, who was sleeping soundly and didn't even want to open her eyes. Playing games was tiring, and keeping up with Vulpisfoglia's progress felt like a real hassle, making her anxious.

"Hmm... Su Rui, let me sleep a little longer."

With a reluctant expression on her face, Vulpisfoglia got up, but then sat down next to Su Rui. She hadn't felt this sense of security in a long time, being able to relax and fall asleep next to Su Rui. Playing games was just an excuse to spend time with Su Rui.

Su Rui showed no mercy, simply rolling her eyes and urging, "Alright, stop thinking about slacking off. Hurry up and go back to take care of Suzuran. You didn't let me rest when you were exploiting me before." Now Su Rui just wanted Vulpisfoglia to go take care of Suzuran as soon as possible, so that she could rest herself.

"Ugh~ I'm so scared~"

Vulpisfoglia smiled, placed her hand on Su Rui's shoulder, and then slowly stood up and walked out of the room.

"I'm going to take care of Suzuran now. Su Rui, remember to come and keep us company sometime later!"

"Of course I know."

Su Rui nodded irritably, then watched Vulpisfoglia's departing figure, closed her eyes, and rested her wrist.

There's another tough battle coming up later, so I need to take this opportunity to get some rest.

Texas was quickly swapped out and, under Su Rui's massage, soon drifted into a sweet dream.

However, although playing games with Vulpisfoglia and Texas until she fell asleep took quite a while, by the time Texas got up from the sofa, Su Rui noticed that it was already pitch black outside.

In reality, Su Rui didn't understand anything about controlling the atmosphere or adjusting the game's pace; he just randomly pressed a few buttons. But what was most important was his likable aura. Just being by his side made people feel safe, and they could fall asleep peacefully.

Later on, Su Rui was just sitting next to them playing on her phone Texas and the others slept very well.

It was getting late, and Su Rui couldn't help but urge them on:

"Alright, it's getting late, you should go back and rest."

Texas sighed helplessly, then turned and left, glancing at Su Rui as she went:

"I will wait until you obtain a physical form."

"Don't talk like I'm some kind of criminal, like you're waiting for me to get out of prison."

Su Rui glared at Texas with annoyance, but the gray wolf just chuckled a few times, leaving behind the words, "If only you could materialize sooner," before disappearing from Exusiai's room and closing the door.

"... I'm so tired, Exusiai, I'm leaving her to you."

Su Rui lay down on the soft bed and closed her eyes. When the body opened its eyes again, the gentle and approachable aura had completely disappeared, replaced by Exusiai.

During the body swap, it looked like Exusiai kissed him?

Su Rui returned to her System Space, touched her cheek with some confusion, and then looked at Exusiai with a puzzled expression:

Did you just kiss me?

'Yeah, I discovered a little trick when we were exchanging items, what do you think?'

Exusiai greeted Su Rui with a smile.

Volume 3, Chapter 159: Explosions Don't Happen Every Day

The next morning, after getting up, Exusiai n't help but excitedly ask Su Rui:

"What kind of work do we have today? Will it be something as thrilling as rescuing hostages like yesterday?"

However, there was nothing special to do today. Even in Lungmen, even at Penguin Logistics, explosions and chaos don't happen every day.

So, Su Rui casually assigned Exusiai some delivery work.

For some reason, Penguin Logistics, despite being a logistics company, actually partners with fast food restaurants. Su Rui, somewhat curious, looked at some of the conveniently located deliveries and asked Exusiai:

"Exusiai, I found a delivery request that's on my way. It requires me to go to a fast food restaurant. Do you want to accept it?"

"Of course, if it's on my way, I'll just pick it up!"

Exusiai gave a thumbs-up, quickly parked her electric scooter in front of the fast food restaurant, and then smelled the delicious aroma inside:

"Mmm, it smells delicious. I'm actually a little hungry."

"Don't you dare steal any! If you want some, buy it yourself."

'Of course I know! In Su Rui's mind, am I really the kind of person who would steal food from guests?'

Exusiai smiled, but inwardly she wore a sad tone, as if she had suffered a great injustice.

Su Rui didn't care about Exusiai concern; she just looked at the lists in front of her, somewhat puzzled.

"There's even an order from the Lungmen Guard Department! Are you going?"

"Of course, since it's on the way, I'll definitely give you a ride. It's not like I haven't been to the Lungmen Guard Department before~"

Exusiai patted her chest confidently, as if the Lungmen Guard Department wasn't a dangerous place.

But for her, as long as she stays at Penguin Logistics, the Lungmen Guard Department will inevitably become a dangerous place for Exusiai someday.

She hasn't realized this yet.

With this in mind, Su Rui suppressed a smile and took over the order from the Lungmen Guard Department.

"Alright, that's it. Let's get going. I've marked the best route for you."

Exusiai nodded, packed her belongings, and immediately set off. As Su Rui had said, nothing major happened along the way.

Although there will still be one or two rude guys who want to skip out on their bill, before they can even make a move, Su Rui, who has seen their actions through the Scanning Vision, has already given Exusiai a hint.

Under the warning of Exusiai's Rapid-Fire Gun, those who wanted to avoid paying by being rude all backed down, obediently paid the amount owed, and then watched Exusiai leave.

Su Rui didn't forget to complain with considerable dissatisfaction, "How can there be people like this? They should be taught a lesson, since even rubber bullets from Rapid-Fire Gun can't kill anyone anyway."

"A minor warning is enough for mistakes that aren't serious; we should give them a chance to correct their errors."

Exusiai smiled and turned to face the corner where the thugs who were hiding, trying to ambush her, were hiding.

Su Rui had already predicted their route of movement, and just as these guys were getting ready to rush out, Exusiai fired her gun at Su Rui's warning.

With a few gunshots, the thugs who had just rushed out of cover were hit by rubber bullets and immediately fell to the ground, writhing in pain. Some of them even fainted from the pain and fell into a deep sleep.

"They're so weak! With Su Rui's reminder, they're not challenging at all!"

Looking at the thugs lying huddled on the ground, Exusiai idly wiped the Rapid-Fire Gun in her hand and blew on the muzzle with a rather cool air.

"Get ready~ Someone else is coming." Su Rui's voice rang in Exusiai's mind again, making her look warily at the spot Su Rui had marked and tighten her grip on the Rapid-Fire Gun.

However, Su Rui didn't mark any dangers, and even specifically told Exusiai not to fire, which made her somewhat suspicious.

Just then, a furry tiger girl sprang out, assumed a fighting stance, and shouted righteously:
