Chapter 388: Can You Big Shots Play Something Interesting?

After wandering around the 565657 Outer Gate for a while, Su Nian and Sun Wukong soon returned to the residence of the Kalki Community.

Knock, knock~

As the apartment door opened, a young man in white robes with white hair and golden eyes, along with a black-haired girl, walked in.

"Your Highness, and Ling, why have you returned so soon? Didn't you want to look around outside a bit more?"

Seeing Sun Wukong and Su Nian return, the woman in black robes sitting on the sofa, plucking at a Golden Harp, lowered her hood to reveal the exquisite face hidden beneath it and spoke.

Is this Aurora? No, it's Odin.

Su Nian had only ever exchanged letters with this mage and seen photos of her.

Moreover, in the photos, she had always been wearing a loose black robe that concealed her figure, with the hood up.

It was actually quite a surprise for Su Nian to see her with her hood down now; she was unexpectedly charming, much like a big sister from next door.

However, Su Nian said nothing, merely glancing at Odin indifferently.

"There is nothing interesting outside; the most important thing for us right now is to conquer the Minotaur labyrinth."

Such an attitude was naturally Kalki's usual demeanor, although one could tell from some small details that Kalki was just a child.

But within a Community comparable to a winery, Kalki remained very cold, just like a true Highness.

Except when alone with Caili Ling, he would only then show a hint of childishness.

Speaking of this, Su Nian seemed to suddenly remember something and said quite innocently.

"By the way, I almost forgot, I brought some snacks for everyone."

As he spoke, Su Nian took out large and small bags of snacks from his Gift Card and placed them on the table.

"Then I shall thank Your Highness here."

Odin casually picked up a cream puff and took a bite.

The cream puff was filled with plenty of cream, so it was inevitable that some would get on the corner of her mouth when she bit into it.

It looked a bit improper, especially when Odin stuck out her tongue to lick the cream off the corner of her mouth.

It was filled with an even more improper air.

Watching Odin in this state, the corner of Su Nian's mouth couldn't help but twitch.

He had a feeling that this guy Odin was doing it on purpose.

"By the way, where is Lamia?"

Su Nian tilted his head and asked, as Lamia, being the Executor for Kurma, was primarily responsible for Kalki's education.

The handover of the Sun Authority was also within the scope of Lamia's responsibilities.

Since Su Nian wanted to impersonate Kalki to participate in the Taurus Sun Authority game, Lamia naturally had a significant role to play.

"She seems to have some important business and just went out, but she should be back soon, right?"

Odin said, with one hand on her thigh and the other holding a snack.

"It seems she went out to purchase intelligence."

A more accurate way to put it was that she went out to get the contract for the upcoming Gift Game.

To challenge the Minotaur, which held the Taurus Sun Authority and was being raised by the higher-ups.

Heroes challenging monsters to obtain treasures and beauties—those old fogeys in the higher-ups really do love such cliché plot points, don't they?

But can those old things really discover whether the current Kalki is real or fake?

Odin was very much looking forward to the upcoming act.

However, before that, there were some precautions she should remind this new "Highness" about.

Although she was an Avatar, she and the main body were not entirely the same person, at least not entirely the same consciousness.

At least until she was taken back by the main body, she would remain in this state.

"By the way, Your Highness, we need to discuss the strategy after Lamia returns. Before that, would you like to freshen up first?"

"After all, Your Highness wouldn't want to face Lamia looking so travel-worn, would you?"

Odin said, tapping her lips lightly with her finger.

Su Nian nodded slightly in agreement; he understood the subtext of Odin's words—there were some things that needed to be discussed in private.

Then, the next moment, Odin took out a little yellow duck and said excitedly.

"Then let's go, Your Highness, time for a bath. I have your favorite little yellow duck here."

"Mm."

Su Nian nodded subconsciously.

"Hm??"

Su Nian quickly came to his senses and looked at Odin, somewhat dazed. But what is the meaning of this?

"Does Your Highness not like it?"

Odin said with some annoyance, but immediately after, she took out even more toys.

"But it's okay, I have a little lion and a little dragon here too, so Your Highness, don't be shy~~"

Su Nian was dragged into the bathroom by Odin without any resistance, and along the way, Odin did not forget to pull Caili Ling along as well.

Meanwhile, Orpheus, who was reading a book outside, continued reading as if nothing had happened.

There was nothing strange about this; after all, Aurora herself had some duties as a nanny, responsible for taking care of Kalki, whose cognition was not yet complete.

After all, you couldn't expect Caili Ling, a child of only ten-something years, to take good care of Kalki.

However, usually, tasks like bathing were handled by Glaia Glaive; it was a bit strange for Aurora to be so proactive today.

It was likely just a whim.

——

In the bathroom, Su Nian and Sun Wukong sat together in the bathtub, while Odin, wearing a loose bathrobe, washed Su Nian's hair.

Su Nian raised his head and exchanged a glance with Sun Wukong, feeling somewhat awkward; Sun Wukong subconsciously shifted her gaze away.

After all, bathing with someone else like this, and a male at that, was truly a first for Sun Wukong since the dawn of time.

Not to mention that Su Nian was her sister's husband; it was fortunate she was currently using someone else's appearance and doing it for a serious matter, otherwise, how would she face Jialing in the future?

Su Nian also sensed the awkward atmosphere and silently changed the subject, looking calmly at Odin.

Hilarious, he had experienced even more stimulating things; what was there to be shy about in a mere display of honesty?

The only regret was that he was not using his original appearance.

However, that was easy to solve; with a snap of Su Nian's fingers, the entire space of the bathroom was shrouded in Fiction.

Outside the bathroom, no matter how one probed, all that could be detected was the scene of them bathing.

"Alright, Odin, is there something the matter that you suddenly brought us into the bathroom?"

"Nothing at all, just a simple bath, Your Highness."

Odin chuckled, then playfully pressed Su Nian into her broad bosom.

"Your Highness, don't be shy."

Meanwhile, Sun Wukong buried the lower part of her face into the water, silently blowing bubbles.

"I say, why does a female monkey like me have to go through something like this."

After becoming a Buddha, Sun Wukong's temper had improved quite a bit, but at this moment, for some reason, she felt an inexplicable surge of irritation—an irritation that made her want to beat Odin up.

You play your games, why do you have to drag me into it?

On the other side, Su Nian and Odin were having fun, though it was just ordinary horseplay.

After all, at this moment, Su Nian was just a child who had been born for less than a few months.

But playfulness aside, Odin was still very responsible in telling Su Nian quite a few of Kalki's daily habits and small details.

After all, although Su Nian had plenty of intelligence regarding Kalki, intelligence was just intelligence; some things were hard to explain clearly without saying them face-to-face.

Just then, the bathroom door was suddenly opened.

Su Nian, who was being forcibly held in Odin's arms in the bathroom, along with Odin and Sun Wukong, all subconsciously froze.

Only when they saw clearly that it was Lamia who had entered did they heave a sigh of relief, though they were not as uninhibited as before.

Su Nian instantly transformed into a shy little boy being teased by a big sister; his movements were so practiced and his reaction so fast that the corners of Odin's mouth twitched twice.

Although it was Lamia who had come, because Lamia had actually been chosen by Kurma to become an Executor.

Su Nian had not told Lamia about his actions, and they usually only communicated about daily life regarding their time with Leticia.

Therefore, it was still necessary to maintain his disguise in front of Lamia.

"Aurora, and Your Highness, what are you doing?"

"Lamia" looked at Su Nian, who was being held in Odin's arms and pressed down by Odin's pair of massive slimes, and asked quite innocently.

"Lamia, help me~~"

Su Nian broke free from Odin's embrace with a look of terror, ran behind Lamia, and said with lingering fear.

"Women are truly too terrifying."

Damn it, this woman Odin actually took the opportunity while Lamia entered to check his development.

The corners of "Lamia's" mouth twitched; Su Nian's sentence had directly offended three people.

"No, you say Glaive (Glaive Grea) is clumsy? Why are you unwilling when I come?"

Odin puffed out her cheeks in dissatisfaction, then continued to chase Su Nian while wearing her translucent bath robe.

When she caught Su Nian again, Odin carefully and secretly transmitted a signal on Su Nian's body.

"This Lamia is not right!!!"

Perhaps in Su Nian's view, there was nothing strange about Lamia; she was quite lively.

But as a partner who lived with Lamia day and night, Odin knew very well that Lamia's usual state was not much different from Kalki's—both were very cold and it was impossible for her to be this lively.

Lamia would only be a bit lively when facing Su Nian and Leticia.

And as a Vampire, Lamia had a slight aversion to water; although she bathed, she usually showered in her own room.

This bathroom was usually only used by Kalki.

It was impossible for Lamia to come to this bathroom.

In summary, this Lamia definitely had a problem, but who would pretend to be Lamia along with them and infiltrate Kalki's Community?

The corners of Odin's mouth twitched slightly as she thought of a possibility.

Is there a possibility that Lamia wasn't replaced at all, but was simply possessed by a god?

And Lamia is the Executor of the World King, Kurma? Then there is only one truth.

This Lamia is Lamia, but at the same time, she is also Kurma.

Instantly, Odin broke into a cold sweat.

Her grip on Su Nian's face subconsciously tightened.

Can't you big shots play something interesting? To think that even a transformation infiltration could end up in a collision.

And if Odin remembered correctly, the Orpheus outside seemed to be an Avatar of Heitian.

She could only hope now that Su Nian's disguise was strong enough to deceive the Heavenly Lord, the World King.

As for Orpheus, he had not discovered any abnormalities for the time being.
