Chapter 72: She Is Not My Husband!
This time, the mission is to kill a two-headed ice-fire magic wolf.
Su Xi was initially in a support position, killing some ordinary small monsters.
But as she kept killing, she felt as if something behind her was watching her.
Yet every time she turned around, she could see nothing, and there were no traces in the System Map.
Could it be that her senses were wrong?
Su Xi took the Thunder Essence Mace out from her Origin Spirit Mansion.
When that feeling appeared once more, she released a large-scale thunder net directly toward the rear!
A little white mouse was caught by the thunder net, squeaking, "Big sister, it's me, Xiao Mi—"
Su Xi immediately retracted the thunder net and grabbed Xiao Mi.
Other players also noticed Su Xi's thunder net, especially the Thunder Essence Mace.
"Are you the champion of the Baiyao Cup?" Wang Laoshi exclaimed in shock.
Su Xi waved the Thunder Essence Mace in her hand; bursts of thunder and lightning were dazzling and eye-catching. She had used this to kill many Zerg in the past, so that must be the reason.
"Isn't the champion's name Su Xi? She is Hua Yun," Zhang Tu replied.
"It's a pseudonym. Who uses their real name here? Even their appearance is Nita," Wang Laoshi pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said with admiration, "It is our honor to witness the champion's demeanor."
Su Xi gave a dry laugh, "You all continue with the mission; I have some urgent business and must leave for a moment."
Zhang Tu hurriedly said, "Let's fight the magic wolf together."
Su Xi said, "Da Miao is enough."
Having said that, she took Xiao Mi and left via Teleportation.
She returned to the Ling Gu where she had previously cultivated.
"Xiao Mi, what is going on with the Lou Hu World? Did you know about it when you went back with me?" Su Xi asked impatiently.
"Yes, big sister. Lou Hu Worlds are usually hunted by Time Hunters, but yours is a bit special. My brother was severely injured in the Shen Ming Zhan Chang and fell into this Lou Hu World."
"Your brother..." Su Xi was stunned.
"I don't know which one is him either; I didn't encounter him in the Lou Hu World."
【That would be the host's husband.】
【He is not my husband!】 Su Xi denied.
【...】
"Why didn't you tell me at the time?"
"I couldn't say. My father said that heavenly secrets cannot be leaked at will, or unpredictable changes will occur. Just like my father and mother—my father just helped my mother a little, who would have thought that my mother would not only become his wife but also bear him three children! Hehe~ I am one of them! But my mother damaged her foundation to give birth to me and often falls into a coma. So I usually play outside and don't pester my mother. Although I really, really want to be with her..."
As Xiao Mi spoke, her mood became much more dejected.
"I'm sorry!" Su Xi held Xiao Mi in her palm; looking at how tiny she was, it was no wonder she was so lonely.
"Then can big sister forgive me for not telling you about the Lou Hu World?" Xiao Mi opened her dark, round eyes and peered at Su Xi.
Su Xi nodded, "Of course."
That guy said Xiao Mi was just a newborn child; why should she hold a grudge against a child?
"Big sister won't blame you, and I even want to thank you for the Resurrection Card; otherwise, I would have turned into sand and disappeared into the endless void by now." Su Xi stroked her little ears, "Change into your human form; big sister will take you to play games."
"Okay!" Xiao Mi changed into the appearance she had when she first met Su Xi.
Ge En returned, carrying a lot of food in his hands.
Seeing an extra child, he was very surprised, "Where did she come from?"
"She is my younger sister, named Xiao Mi. Xiao Mi, his name is Ge En." Su Xi introduced them to each other.
Xiao Mi lifted her little skirt and performed a lady's curtsy, "Hello, Mr. Ge En."
Ge En smiled gently, "Hello, Xiao Mi."
Xiao Mi peered at the food bag in his hand, "There is a very fragrant smell."
"Here, pick what you like to eat." Ge En gave the bag to Xiao Mi, letting her choose the food she liked.
"You have quite a big appetite." Su Xi had already reached the stage of Inedia and it didn't matter whether she ate or not.
Ge En replied, "When I am in human form, I am the same as an ordinary person."
Xiao Mi looked up at him, "Are you of the Undead race?"
"... Yes." Ge En was a bit surprised, then looked toward Su Xi; she must have told her.
"The Undead race is very powerful. My big sister said she once encountered an Undead, and he almost killed her." Xiao Mi peered at Ge En.
Ge En: "... I thought I was the only one left of the Undead race. I wonder where your big sister encountered him?"
"The Shen Ming Zhan Chang," Xiao Mi replied.
"The Shen Ming Zhan Chang? Do gods fight wars too?" Ge En asked.
Xiao Mi nodded, "They do. Their wars determine the survival of a world or even a universe."
【Host, you have a God-level War Observer Treasure Box; you can watch at any time.】
【There is no need right now.】
Su Xi said to Ge En, "Let's take on a mission ourselves; I want to take Xiao Mi along to play."
Ge En nodded, "That's fine, I'll go accept one now."
"No rush, eat first." Su Xi took a box of desserts out of the food bag.
She tasted one bite and put it down, saying to Xiao Mi, "How about big sister makes some dessert for you?"
"That's great!" Xiao Mi clapped happily, "I can eat the delicious food big sister makes again."
"What I make isn't as good as my mother's..." Su Xi said, then said to Ge En, "Give me the Nita pod."
Ge En gave the Nita pod to Su Xi, "You keep it."
"Mm." Su Xi used Nita to take on the appearance of Su Mu, and also gained 30% of her culinary skills.
When Xiao Mi saw 'Su Mu', she immediately threw herself into her arms, "Grandma, please make me some braised meat."
Su Xi stroked her head, "Alright."
She wrote down some ingredients and asked Ge En to buy them for her while he was out picking up tasks.
She and Xiao Mi went hunting instead.
Xiao Mi held a small slingshot in her hand, and truth be told... although it looked like a small toy, it hit the mark every time, and it didn't even damage the prey's skin or flesh, just knocked them unconscious.
When Ge En returned, he brought another person with him—Wang Laoshi.
"I ran into Da Miao at the store, so I followed along."
"Welcome." Su Xi smiled and said, "We're cleaning the game; we caught four wild chickens and one Black-Hoofed Sheep, so it's perfect that you're here to help us eat it."
"Thank you. I didn't expect Ms. Su to be a gourmet player." Wang Laoshi rolled up his sleeves and helped clean the game as well.
"Just Su Xi is fine; 'Ms. Su' is too formal." Su Xi smiled.
"Big sister," Xiao Mi came back carrying a large wooden stake, preparing to use it as firewood.
Seeing that there was an extra person, Wang Laoshi, the little one greeted him very enthusiastically and politely, "Hello, big brother."
Big brother? Wang Laoshi looked at the child, who was only three or four years old; he was more than old enough to be her uncle.
But he preferred being called big brother.
"You must be Xiao Mi, right? I heard about you from Ge En." Wang Laoshi took a box of cake out of his System Space, "I got this from completing a task. Could you help me taste it and see if it's good?"
"Okay!" Xiao Mi took the cake and gave it to Su Xi first, "Could you please cut it, big sister? Let's eat it together."
"She's very well-bred." Wang Laoshi smiled, "When my nephew was this small, he was incredibly bossy; he was never reasonable and never shared."
Su Xi smiled and did not explain that Xiao Mi actually had no blood relation to her.
But Xiao Mi was indeed the most sensible and clever child she had ever seen.
?? Heart, goodnight~
