Even though Vita and the boy did have some intimate interactions, as the most intelligent of all Vita, he still keenly sensed something amiss.

"So what do you think my relationship with Vita would be?"

With a smile, Shi Hen broke off a piece of the flatbread from his hand and handed it to the boy.

"Hmm..."

A moment of hesitation flashed across his face. After thinking for a moment, he took the flatbread and carefully took a bite. "I think it must be some kind of opponent."

You and Vita aren't friends, but you don't seem like enemies either.

Otherwise, Vita wouldn't have let you stay here.

"Hehehe... You really do know nothing about Vita."

Shi Hen chuckled softly.

What do you mean by that?

Xianjue frowned involuntarily.

"What do you think is most important to Vita in Foros?"

Shi Hen asked with a smile.

"Is it... us?"

Xianjue hesitated before speaking.

In his memory, Vita had never had much contact with the people of Foros; the only people she was truly close to were the seven of them.

"That's certainly a very confident answer."

But are you so sure Vita would give up everything to save you?

He asked softly, his smile widening Shi Hen than diminishing.

"What's the meaning?"

Xianjue couldn't help but ask.

You'll understand soon enough.

With a smile, Shi Hen walked towards Elysia and the others, magically producing three strings of candied hawthorns from his hand.

"It's candied hawthorn!"

Upon catching a glimpse of the red fruit coated in syrup in the boy's hand, Griseo's eyes immediately lit up.

"Does Griseo know about candied hawthorn berries?"

After distributing the candied hawthorns to the three girls (two adults and one child), Shi Hen smiled and asked.

"Yes, Sister Danzhu made it before, it was delicious."

Griseo smiled and replied, her purple eyes narrowing slightly. "But, does Foros have people selling candied hawthorns? I don't think I saw any just now."

As she spoke, Griseo looked in the direction the boy had come from with a slightly puzzled gaze, but all she could see was Senjue, who seemed to be deep in thought.

"Maybe."

With a smile, Shi Hen looked up at the dark night sky, which was dyed crimson by countless bonfires.

Although the night sky over Foros has two moons, a phenomenon not found on Earth, due to the influence of the power of the Sa, this does not prevent tonight from becoming a night of disaster.

After all, he didn't intend to give Vita much time to hesitate.

On the other side, as Vita strolled casually through the venue with Yixin, the smile gradually faded from her face.

Even though Shi Hen didn't say it explicitly, just the fact that the boy didn't leave Foros immediately after finding Griseo was enough for her to be certain that his target was definitely not just Griseo alone.

But besides Griseo, what else on this Far Star could possibly be worth the boy's attention?

Is it the artificial garden that Foros meticulously crafted?

Or is it that the other party has already set its sights on Saha herself?

Or, as Shi Hen has always claimed, the other party simply wants her loyalty?

Thinking about all these possibilities, Vita felt a heavy weight hanging over her heart.

Lost in thought, Vita suddenly felt a slender hand slip into her palm, and a childish voice rang out at the same time. "Sister Vita, no matter what happens, I will always support you and Brother Shi Hen."

"..."

Faced with Yixin's earnest Yixin, Vita was momentarily speechless.

Although we know that being passionate is a virtue inherited by Yixin, isn't this a bit too far-fetched?

Even if we ignore the fact that she's just acting, the boy already has Elysia by his side!

"Then I'll thank you Little Yixin."

With Little Yixin around, I, Vita, feel instantly empowered.

Vita patted the girl's head and said with a smile.

Knowing Yixin's passionate and impulsive nature, she knew that explaining was pointless.

So all you need to do is smile at it.

Hehe~

Seeing Vita's gentle smile, Yixin couldn't help but smile too, but was immediately stuffed with a large pancake, which stopped the girl from saying anything more encouraging.

Seeing the girl happily eating, Vita's smile finally became more genuine.

If she had a choice, she would also like to stay with Yixin and the others.

But...

Rumble—

As if even the heavens did not want this happiness to last, a series of thunderous roars suddenly came from the sky, followed by rolling dark clouds and a torrential downpour that quickly extinguished the bonfires in the city, plunging the entire Foros into a thick darkness where one could not see their own hand in front of their face.

PS: Gurgle...

Chapter 44 Offer Your Loyalty, Vita

As the torrential rain fell, the darkness of Foros lasted only a few breaths before seven beams of light emanated from the keys on the Little Vita, illuminating the square and dispelling the panic in people's hearts.

"Don't panic! The lighting equipment will be here soon! Please evacuate in an orderly manner according to the instructions!"

Amidst the clamor of the rain, the voice belonging to Lü Xing rang out clearly, its volume so loud that it was obviously amplified using a loudspeaker or similar device.

Even though it looks as backward as the Middle Ages on Earth, Foros is still an artificial garden carefully created by So, and it is not completely devoid of any technological products.

With guidance from agents like Little Vita and the illumination of numerous lampposts and flashlights, the chaos in the square soon subsided, leaving only the seemingly endless downpour, causing the water beneath everyone's feet to rise continuously.

However, the group of Little Vita were still focused on guiding the citizens to evacuate, and no one realized that a real disaster was about to strike.

"I'm sorry, you've come all this way to Foros, only to be met with this kind of weather..."

While using a crystal umbrella summoned by the Fairy Miss to temporarily avoid the rain, he said timidly.

"Perhaps this is just an example of the unpredictable nature of life."

With a smile, Elysia glanced at the thousands of people who were hastily evacuating. She breathed a slight sigh of relief after confirming that no one was injured, but she still couldn't help but glare at the boy with a hint of annoyance.

Even knowing there was a reason for this, she still didn't want any innocent people to get hurt because of it.

Faced with Fairy Miss's complaints, Shi Hen simply shrugged helplessly.

Compared to before, he is now much more restrained.

If he were in his White Masks state, he would probably be holding Foros in one hand and Sausage at his feet, loudly demanding to Vita which one she wanted.

"There was a terrifying color in the sky."

She spoke in a deep voice, Griseo gaze fixed on the dark, cloud-filled sky, her expression instantly turning serious.

"Ah?"

Tune blinked, puzzled.

Not to mention the low visibility now, the sky when it rains... isn't it always gloomy?

"Is Little Griseo trying to say that this heavy rain isn't just a simple natural disaster?"

Elysia added understandingly.

That's right.

I can sense a terrifying presence behind the sky; it is He who caused this disaster for Foros.

Griseo nodded.

"..."

Upon hearing this, Tuo Xie, who had been somewhat puzzled, was completely dumbfounded, his ruby-like eyes filled with confusion.

The fact that such a heavy rain could be caused even before it has fully appeared is just like the legendary god who created Foros.

"Miss Vita must have a lot to say about this being that is capable of destroying Foros."

Shi Hen caught sight of Vita approaching alone and said with a smile.

"Sister Vita!"

Upon seeing the gray-haired woman approaching, the girl's panic vanished instantly, replaced by a reassuring smile.

Vita has always been the person they trust the most; it seems that no matter what the problem is, it can be easily solved in her hands.

Although this downpour in Foros was somewhat unusual, she was confident that Vita could still handle it easily.

"..."

Meeting the expectant and trusting gaze of the tuner, and then looking at the other six Little Vita who were maintaining order, Vita's expression faltered slightly. Her gaze then turned to the smiling black-haired youth. "What exactly do you want to do?"

She asked in a cold voice, Vita tone carrying a hint of suppressed anger.

"Um?"

Upon hearing this, Griseo looked at the boy and couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

The person who caused this rainstorm was clearly someone hiding behind the scenes, so why is Vita blaming the boy?

"It all depends on what Miss Vita is willing to give up."

Shi Hen smiled and said, "After all, that guy came for Miss Vita, didn't he?"

Well, even with the power to break the rules at will, Shi Hen still didn't directly resort to violence against Suo.

All he did was slightly leak out Vita's aura.

Even though its own processing system had become bloated and unbearable over millions of years, the fact that Vita, this traitor, appeared so brazenly in Foros was enough to enrage So completely.

"..."

Hearing the boy's words, and vaguely guessing what he had done, Vita did not lose her composure but gave Shi Hen a deep look, as if she wanted to imprint the boy's face in her mind.

"Sister Vita, what exactly is going on?"

His gaze lingered between the boy and Vita several times, and the confusion on his face deepened.

When confronted with the questioning, Vita simply remained silent, arms crossed, offering no helpful answer.

In the strange atmosphere, only the sound of raindrops hitting the ground continued unabated, creating an atmosphere even more oppressive than silence.

The atmosphere didn't let it sink any further; the other Little Vita returned to Vita's side after their work was finished.

"Sister Vita, we've guided everyone to safety, but the rain tonight..."

Among the group of Little Vita, Yunxu, who Unification the role of an older sister, spoke first, reporting on her own work while also hoping to get some advice from Vita.

"It's no use, this rain isn't going to stop."

Before Unification could finish speaking, Vita interrupted him coldly, saying, "This rain won't stop until it completely submerges Foros."

No matter where you hide, the outcome will not change.

"Sister Vita..."

Upon hearing this, Unification was immediately stunned.
