Chapter 2191: Miss Xia Shizi's Private Chat and Plea

I am Hou Jue: "A genius... I've suddenly taken an interest."

I am Hou Jue: "Let me take a good look at these two memory replicas! Let me see... just what kind of genius could earn the Guild Master's recognition."

Miss Xia Shizi: "Actually, I feel... the Guild isn't short on geniuses! For example, Tony Stark, Princess Lala, Xiao Zhizhi Shu — geniuses in the tech field."

"And then there's Conan Edogawa, Kaito Kid — geniuses of the mind."

Su Xiao Xiao: "... That's true! But the two geniuses joining the Guild this time are completely different."

Su Xiao Xiao: "I won't say more... once you've finished watching the memory replicas, you'll understand."

Huaji.

"

Tony Is Not The Richest: "... I was working! But since the Guild Master put it that way,"

"you've got my curiosity hooked!"

Tony Is Not The Richest: "I've decided — pushing aside every bit of work right now."

"Watching the memory replica directly!"

Gao Ban: "... No! You just want a break."

"Don't go pinning the blame on the Guild Master!"

Gao Ban was too drained to retort.

Tony Is Not The Richest: "See through it, but don't say it out loud!"

Bai Hu Zi: "Gulalala! Why bother with all this — just watch the memory replica and be done with it."

Su Han watched the people inside the Guild chat room gradually fall silent.

Clearly, most of them had gone off to watch the memory replica.

In the blink of an eye, no one was chatting anymore.

"Then, what should I do next?"

Su Han rubbed his own chin, lost in thought. "Should I invite a few people to play a virtual game? Or go traveling in some world? Or revisit Katanagatari and The Strongest Guild Master Kurokami?"

All those options sounded good — Su Han was instantly caught in a dilemma.

A sudden knock sounded at the door, and then Wugeng Liuli, dressed in a gothic lolita outfit, walked in from outside carrying Oph.

"Demon Lord!"

Wugeng Liuli's voice was clear and gentle.

"... Demon Lord!"

Oph, expressionless, waved at Su Han.

Su Han: "..."

Their actions really are perfectly synchronized! Su Han was a bit speechless, but wasn't surprised to see the two of them appear at his home.

He had long ago given Wugeng Liuli permission to access his world, so they didn't need to specifically greet him every time they came over.

"Sorry! This child has taken a liking to my gestures lately."

Wugeng Liuli's mouth twitched; she reached out and roughly rubbed Oph's hair.

She looked back at Su Han, a hint of apology in her eyes.

"There's no need to apologize for something like that!"

Su Han stepped forward, came to stand before Oph, stretched out both hands, pinched Oph's cheeks, and gently kneaded them as if working dough, a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth. "I like Oph very much too."

"... Sister, sister! That really is quite the remark to overhear."

"Didn't I realize that long ago? But Master's tastes really are something else."

"Could it be that I should go searching for some so-called secret art of returning to one's youth, and revert myself back to a child's state?"

"That would suit Master's tastes better, wouldn't it? I recall that in Old Man Zhang Sanfeng's world, way, way back... there was an Everlasting Youth Art that could return one to childhood."

"... Sister actually has thoughts like that! It seems Sister truly, truly loves Master."

"If you love someone, but can't even accept their flaws,"

"then what right do you have to say you love them?"

Listening to the two of them playing off each other, Su Han looked toward the door, a helpless look crossing his face, and sighed. "I simply like Oph! Why do you two always jump to that... direction? Are the tops of your heads... connected to some cosmic black hole?"

Lei Mu and Lei Muleimu were standing outside the door at that moment. Seeing Su Han turn his head to look at them, they wordlessly stopped talking, hitched up their skirts, and curtsied to Su Han.

"... Alright then! What is it you two want with me?"

Su Han rubbed the bridge of his nose.

"Sister used the Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu and started cleaning the courtyard."

Lei Mu spoke softly. "So Sister and I thought we'd rest for a bit, and also take a look at the memory replica Master just posted."

"... Is that so?"

Su Han was briefly stunned, then nodded. "Then make yourselves comfortable."
