The air did not remain silent for long.
Gahares looked as usual, casting an eye toward the girl that was slightly complex, but more filled with affection and concern, devoid of any negative emotions.
Qiu, standing in front of him, was momentarily taken aback, but quickly calmed down without showing any hint of panic, even a pure smile traced upon her lips.
"Brother Lei, when did you find out?"
The girl, breaking the silence first, tilted her head, calmly questioning the big brother who had been ’taking care’ of her these past few months while being taken care of by her: "Was Qiu not good enough at hiding?"
Gahares shrugged, stepping slowly to sit by the small table that Qiu rarely used, took out a notebook filled with modern knowledge from his bag, casually flipping through as he said, "You, not only are you bad at hiding, you’re full of loopholes..."
"Ah?"
Qiu, almost admitting, blinked and covered her small mouth in disbelief, "No way!"
Gahares, who had finished his exams but was still revising in the game, sighed and smiled wryly, "In the end, even though Little Wenqiu you’re already a qualified lady, I’ve lived a few more years than you, having spent so much time together, how could I not see the problem."
"Hmm..."
Qiu lowered her small face, awkwardly kicked the floor with her tiny boots and pouted, "In the end, Brother Lei still treats me like a child!"
Gahares laughed and nodded, "Yes, I’ve always treated Little Wenqiu like a child."
"Liar!"
Qiu, greatly infuriated, pounced beside Gahares, pinched his cheeks with her small hands, "Brother Lei clearly said before he’d treat me as an adult just like himself!"
Gahares, uncharacteristically, didn’t become overly accommodating while the girl was upset, instead, lightly chuckled, "Of course, I was lying to you. Little Wenqiu has always been a cute child in my eyes."
"Qiu is furious..."
Like a doll-like cute girl clenching her small fists, glared at Gahares fiercely, then took a deep breath, her whole aura suddenly changed.
Her bright eyes quietly faded, and a dark red mist quickly enveloped the girl’s petite frame, soon transforming into a ’cocoon’ that consistently emitted a cold chill, firmly shrouding her within a sinister blood screen.
The School of the Undead, high-level active skill [Blood Blossom] of the flesh branch, although this skill has varied uses, at this moment for Qiu, its most crucial function is to cover while changing clothes.
[That wicked Brother Lei, he must be taught a lesson!]
Thinking so, Qiu’s pale yet enchanting face surged with killing intent.
Despite bearing the pressure from [Plague Overlord] before him, Gahares, due to the weakness of his character, was almost instantly covered in sweat, his Physical Strength Value rapidly declining, yet his expression did not change, still gazing calmly and softly at the blood cocoon.
Quickly, [Blood Blossom] silently faded away, and the girl reappeared before Gahares with a look she had never shown him before.
"Give me an explanation, Brother Lei."
The originally clean and beautiful Snow White Princess Dress was exchanged for a completely black, somewhat tattered cloak, barely covering the girl’s small frame but still exposing large areas of skin. Beneath the black hood, her lively pigtails framed her charming face, cascading over her delicate shoulders; a skeleton necklace with glowing green eyes circled her slender neck.
Her golden eyes had been stained a murky Mo color, her height significantly increased due to the thick soles of the [Shoes of Decay], almost catching up to Double Leaf. She walked briskly behind Gahares, scraped Gahares’ cheek with her fingernail as black as her eye color, whispering in his ear, "Otherwise, I will..."
"Even if Little Wenqiu, you kill me, I’ll just be sent to rebuild the character."
Gahares snapped shut the [Review Notes] in his hand, holding Qiu’s icy pale little hand, smiling without turning his head, "You should know, my character actually has no value, be it career, skills, equipment, or items, none are noteworthy, so there’d be no loss."
Qiu slightly squinted her malevolent eyes, continued to mutter, "I can torment you, Brother Lei, now I have many fun ways to make you fully enjoy those exquisite pains before dying."
"Pain has never been exquisite."
Turning to look at the girl’s back, Gahares spoke calmly at the distorted faces like ephemeral illusions yet exceedingly real, "Moreover, The Realm of Innocence controls players’ perception of pain reasonably well, so even if Little Wenqiu wants to do something to me, it’s unlikely to achieve the theoretical effect. Besides, I’ve gained quite a bit of experience resisting physical torment during this time."
