Feverish Fantasies After a Princess Carry

In a corner of the old rooftop, a rusty air conditioner unit was humming.

A few clumps of wild grass grew in the cracks in the cement. The night breeze, carrying dew, blew in, dissipating much of the lingering bloodstain on Ziwei's body.

Ziwei walked to the broken sofa, bent down, and took off the Purple-Gold Cloak wrapped around Su Xiaoxiao.

The foam in the old sofa was completely rotten, and the rusty springs inside were sticking out halfway.

Su Bai himself usually finds it uncomfortable to sit on, but this time he specially found a relatively flat spot to settle his younger sister down.

After doing all this, he felt as if his legs were filled with lead.

That single basic attack followed by a short-range teleport had almost drained all the calories he'd eaten for dinner.

My stomach rumbled loudly, and waves of hunger surged through me, accompanied by churning stomach acid.

If it weren't for the need to maintain Ziwei's aloof and arrogant image before his sister woke up, he would have wanted to immediately revert to his transformation and go downstairs to the stall to show off three bowls of braised pork trotter rice with braised eggs.

Before the person on the sofa could move, Ziwei reached into the lead-sealed secret compartment inside the Magical Armor.

She first took out the fist-sized C-Rank Mutated Abyssal Core and examined it in the moonlight.

Inside the purple crystal, clumps of black mist were slowly colliding.

Immediately afterwards, she took out the Shard the Military Star Ring that she had pried out of Su Xiaoxiao's hand.

"Kabi, can we sell this piece of scrap metal?"

Su Bai mentally calculated the numbers.

"Master, this is a military Prototype Type Star Ring that leaked from within the Monster Hunting Bureau. It has encrypted tracking markings on it. Selling it on the black market will easily attract the attention of the official authorities."

Kabi floated over to the Shard and poked it with its paw.

"However, the purity of the magic-conducting metal inside is quite high. We can eat the Grimoire like a snack later, saving a lot of money on charging Origin Stone."

"Okay, then let's keep it to feed the books; nothing will be wasted."

Su Bai nodded in satisfaction, then put the two items back into the sealed bag and locked it.

The leader of the Star Team, high above everyone else, stood on the breezy rooftop, his mind filled with thoughts of how to sell stolen goods and pocket the profits, and how to save food for his money-devouring beast at home.

There's no way around it; even gods need to eat and pay mortgages.

"Cough... cough cough..."

Two dry, light coughs suddenly came from the sofa.

Su Bai froze, immediately dropping the calculating, money-grubbing expression from his face.

He quickly straightened up, crossed his arms over his chest, and slightly raised his chin, adopting a cold and aloof posture that suggested he was unapproachable.

Su Xiaoxiao opened her eyes groggily, her vision still a little blurry due to the exhaustion of her Magic Power.

She rubbed her throbbing temples.

"Um... where am I... wasn't I outside the window of the Welfare Home...?"

Su Xiaoxiao sat up, propping herself up on the armrest of the broken sofa, still a little dazed.

She glanced down at herself.

Beneath the old jacket, which was originally covered in mud, lay half of an incredibly luxurious, heavy purple-gold cloak.

And the Lady Ziwei, whom she praised and worshipped in the Fan Support Club group every day, was standing less than half a meter away from her, looking down at her.

One second, two seconds.

Su Xiaoxiao's breathing suddenly stopped.

The Welfare Home was two streets away; this was the abandoned rooftop on the seventh floor. He had just collapsed from exhaustion due to Magic Power, and was still covered with Lady Ziwei's personal cloak...

An extremely bold deduction suddenly took shape in her mind.

"Lady Ziwei?!"

Su Xiaoxiao's cheeks flushed bright red at a visible speed, all the way down to the roots of her neck.

She scrambled to her feet from the tattered sofa, nearly falling back down because her legs were too weak. She clutched the hem of her old jacket tightly, her eyes gleaming with an alarming intensity.

"You... you just carried me out of the Welfare Home? In a princess carry?!"

Su Xiaoxiao started to stutter, completely forgetting about her older brother who might be buried in the rubble.

Her mind was filled with the fact that her idol had hugged her so closely the whole way, and even covered her with his cloak!

If this news were sent to the Fan Support Club group, wouldn't those rich girls at Tianqiong University be so jealous they'd grind their teeth in anger?

"Master, your sister's gaze towards you is a bit strange. Could she be falling in love with you?"

Kabi frantically sounded the alarm in his mind.

"Shut up! That's just normal idol worship from a chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) person! Stop reading those weird comics!"

Su Bai felt a chill run down his spine, and goosebumps covered his back.

"Lady Ziwei, I... I am Codename Starshine! I just broke through the outer interference barrier, I wanted to go in and help you, but I'm so useless..."

Su Xiaoxiao lowered her head, twisting the hem of her clothes with her fingers. Her tone was filled with bitterness and grievance, just like a child who had failed an exam and was apologizing to her parents.

Ziwei took a step forward, her black boots stopping in front of Su Xiaoxiao's sneakers.

She extended her right hand, adorned with a purple-gold gauntlet, and used her slender index finger to lift Su Xiaoxiao's chin, forcibly raising her face.

We can't let this girl continue in this mood; if she keeps going, she might just recite an eight-hundred-word oath of allegiance on the spot.

"Who gave you the audacity to try and crash your One-Star Germination Second-Order Military Star Ring?"

Ziwei's voice was icy cold, devoid of any warmth.

"I've confiscated that piece of scrap metal you have. If you dare touch anything of dubious origin again, I'll remove you from the Star Team roster."

The icy touch on her chin sent a shiver down Su Xiaoxiao's spine, and she froze completely.

Far from being deterred by the stern warning, her eyes immediately welled up with tears.

Lady Ziwei is concerned about me!

She even knew I used Military Star Ring Shard and specially removed the dangerous item that could cause a backlash!

This arrogant deity, who appears cold and ruthless on the surface but secretly protects you with gentle kindness, is exactly the same as the Savior described in her character profile!

"I... I know I was wrong! Starshine promise I'll never let you worry about me again!"

Su Xiaoxiao sniffed and loudly assured him.

Ziwei withdrew her fingers, subtly rubbed the hand guard behind her back, and turned her back to her.

"I was just passing by the rooftop and casually scooped a clueless rat out of a mud puddle. Don't try to glorify yourself."

After uttering those cold, polite words, Ziwei walked to the edge of the rooftop, picked up the Great Scythe in one hand, and jumped directly from the seventh floor, disappearing into the night in a few flashes.

If we don't leave soon, this girl will hear my stomach growling.

On the rooftop, Su Xiaoxiao covered her burning cheeks with her hands and squatted down, curled up in a ball.

"I casually picked up a lost mouse... Waaah, even Lady Ziwei's scolding has such a sense of destiny, I'm sticking with her for life!"

Her mind had already automatically conjured up a ten-thousand-word script of redemption under the watchful eyes of the gods.

Meanwhile, in the dark alley downstairs, Su Bai, who had just changed out of his transformation and back into a hoodie, rubbed his rumbling stomach and glanced at the text message on his phone that showed he had received a payment.

Fine, considering this girl only topped up her card today to save me, I'll give her an extra chicken leg for dinner tomorrow night.
