Chapter 468 - 314: Who Is Badmouthing the President? Prepare for a Flogging
"Thanks~"
Su Xuan accepted the fruit and smiled as he gently ruffled Viora’s hair.
Viora always looked incredibly blissful whenever Su Xuan stroked her hair so gently, her face filled with contentment and joy. Even the two nimble deer ears on her head seemed to twitch cheerfully, expressing her delight.
"Master, Master! Look at me!" Viora suddenly exclaimed, excitedly running to the side. She held a tree branch high in her hand, her eyes twinkling with anticipation and pride.
"Hm?"
Su Xuan turned to her curiously, wondering what the little one wanted to show him.
Viora began to softly chant a mysterious Spell. In an instant, the tip of the branch started to glimmer with a golden-green light. This light then spread out in all directions, like the canopy of a tree.
In a matter of moments, the scene in Viora’s room changed completely, turning the world upside down.
A lush forest instantly filled Su Xuan’s vision. He was once again in Viora’s Spiritual World.
But unlike last time, there were two new statues in the forest.
One was a statue of Su Xuan, the other of Viora. They stood on either side of the statue of the Goddess of Nature, as if guarding the place.
"What is this...?"
Su Xuan gazed at the three statues, a hint of curiosity in his eyes.
"They’re spiritual statues! They can bring you benefits, Master!" Viora explained excitedly. "But... my power is still weak, so I can only create statues of myself and you..."
"Spiritual statues?" Su Xuan walked slowly toward the statues and reached out to touch the surface of his own.
The moment his fingertips touched the statue, a powerful wave of Spiritual Power rippled through the depths of his soul.
[Natural Domain: You are currently within Viora’s spiritual domain. You are immune to all Spirit Magic, and the power of your Spirit Magic is increased by 100%!]
’The Domain’s effect has increased?’ Su Xuan’s eyes were fixed on the pop-up notification, an expression of disbelief on his face.
Just as Su Xuan was focused on the change in the Domain’s effect, Viora called out to him excitedly, "Master! Look!"
Su Xuan looked up and saw a clear stream of water gushing continuously from the top of his statue’s head, like a miniature fountain.
"..."
He was stunned for a second, then gently patted Viora’s head. "Alright, it’s getting late. Time for little kids to go to sleep."
"I’m not a little kid! I’m already an adult!"
...
The next day arrived in the blink of an eye. Since he was preparing to move tomorrow, Su Xuan started packing his things early.
Xu Feiyan’s villa was fully furnished with all the necessities, so he decided not to bring his own cheap and no-longer-needed household items to lighten the moving load.
"Whew~"
After a busy morning, Su Xuan finally got rid of all the useless items. He wiped the sweat from his forehead, feeling an odd sense of relief.
Taking advantage of a short break, he opened WeChat and saw that Liu Xue had sent him a message.
[Cute Rabbit: Our new place is pretty nice, right? (Image)]
Su Xuan scrolled through the pictures Liu Xue sent. Although the two sisters’ new home had average decor, it looked very clean and tidy.
So, he replied, "Nice couch. I’m moving in tomorrow (* ̄︶ ̄)."
[Cute Rabbit: ∑(〟OОO) R-Really!?]
Su Xuan: "Just kidding. I’ve found a place to stay."
[Cute Rabbit: I knew you were kidding! Where are you staying? A dorm?]
Su Xuan: "Nope, at a friend’s house."
[Cute Rabbit: Oh, my sister’s calling me. Bye.]
"?"
Su Xuan stared at the chat log on his phone, stunned for a second, then went back to tidying his room.
Once he was more or less finished packing, he took a shower to relax, then turned on his computer and entered the game world.
As soon as he entered the Guild, Su Xuan saw Lucia sitting alone in the guild hall, leisurely sipping her morning tea.
"You’re here~" Lucia glanced over as Su Xuan entered the Guild, set down her teacup, and greeted him softly.
"Where is everyone else?" Su Xuan looked around and noticed Lucia was the only one in the guild hall.
"They got a little bored, so they went with Rosaline to do daily quests," Lucia answered nonchalantly.
"Oh, okay."
Su Xuan nodded, not thinking much of it, and walked straight to his own room.
The moment the door opened, he heard the cheerful laughter of Mare Rhine and the Vampire Ancestor, Kanlutia.
"Hahaha! Your impression is spot on!"
"Right? Right? That little human punk is always..." Kanlutia didn’t get to finish her sentence before Su Xuan opened the door.
When the two of them saw Su Xuan suddenly appear at the door, they fell dead silent, their smiles freezing on their faces.
Su Xuan immediately understood that their conversation had to be about him!
"What were you two talking about?"
Su Xuan asked as he walked toward Mare Rhine and Kanlutia.
"W-Why should I tell you!?" Kanlutia crossed her arms, trying to act calm, but her voice betrayed a hint of panic.
"Were you bad-mouthing me?" Su Xuan raised an eyebrow and took another step closer. The pressure from his height made Kanlutia involuntarily step back.
"N-No! Of course not!" Kanlutia grew even more flustered, her eyes darting around, unable to meet Su Xuan’s gaze.
Her unusual behavior naturally made Su Xuan suspicious. He smiled faintly, then suddenly shot his hands out, grabbed Kanlutia by her slender waist, and effortlessly lifted her into the air.
