Chapter 347 The Unglamorous Fox Fairy vs. the Aloof Dragon Lord (23)
At that time, He Suining also told him to trust her and that she would come to find him.
After waking up from the illusion, Yitian deliberately forgot about it. He knew it was an illusion and naturally wouldn't take it seriously. Because illusions are similar to inner demons; they both use what you crave most to lure you in.
His inner demons continued to urge him on.
He silently placed the scimitar back under his pillow, ignoring the cries of his inner demons.
He sat down next to He Suining. "What did you call me?"
He Suining blinked innocently, leaned closer, seemingly both close and distant. Her warm breath brushed against his lips.
He pursed his lips tightly.
"Qin, but you've never liked me calling you that, have you? You'd prefer me to call you Yitian, by your real name."
Yitian stared at her.
Most people would have been terrified by such a burning and focused gaze, but she seemed completely oblivious, responding with a smile.
“I never said that.”
He Suining hummed in agreement, then moved her arms from his waist to his neck, snuggling into his embrace.
She savored the warmth of the moment, "But I know, so Yitian, I'll call you that from now on."
Yi Tian chuckled and put his arm around her shoulder tightly.
He could no longer tell whether it was the inner demons he had created that were too powerful, or whether He Suining herself was too powerful, that had actually taken the initiative to find him.
"That's impossible," the inner demon beside him continued to persuade, "Have you forgotten how much she hates you? She personally hurt you badly and told you to get lost, how could she possibly come looking for you?"
Yi Tian frowned as he glanced at the inner demon, his eyes filled with warning.
The inner demon trembled and gradually dissipated into the air.
"Yitian, can you promise me?" He Suining had already seen through his identity, so she didn't care. She wouldn't refuse to speak and insist on playing some childish game of "Pictionary." "Don't go into the cycle of reincarnation. I'm right here beside you. You have to believe me. Everything can change."
If she successfully kills the Queen, the timeline will be altered.
At that time, she could finally be with Yitian.
Yitian didn't know whether he should believe it or not.
What if this is truly a powerful inner demon, deliberately tempting him to give up?
Sui Sui is still waiting for him.
"I understand." Yi Tian neither agreed nor refused, but simply stroked her hair with his warm, large hand.
She wondered if it was because the room was too warm, but she actually felt a little sleepy.
Yi Tian pressed her down on the bed and held her in his arms. "Sleep now. I'm right here beside you. We're not going anywhere."
The broken-down creature screamed, "No! Host, hurry..."
Hmm.
A tiny black hand appeared out of nowhere, covered the mangled lips, and dragged it away.
It arrived at the Time and Space Administration's system recycling station the next second.
Full of questions, it realized the little black hand behind it had let go. It quickly turned around and saw a familiar face. Actually, it wasn't that familiar.
They briefly swapped hosts due to a system malfunction.
"Little black?"
Little Black nodded vigorously. It was also round and chubby, but not cute at all. It had dragon horns, a dragon tail, and a pair of wings.
When he smiles, his two sharp teeth are shiny, and it looks like it must hurt a lot to bite them.
"Why did you bring me here? Wait, what gave you the authority?"
The junk is about to collapse.
It had never heard of any system being able to invade another host's body and expose another system.
Xiao Hei flapped its wings helplessly and took a short flight. "I was given to Yi Tian by the Bureau boss, so of course I have a lot of authority. As for capturing you, it's because the boss told you not to interfere with their progress."
"Don't worry, Yitian is the least likely person to harm your host, you should know that."
Ok.
The broken thing was speechless, but there was nothing it could do because its authority wasn't as high as others'.
There's a big boss behind them.
It had only met the man once with its host. "Then send me back. If the host can't see me, she'll be worried."
Xiao Hei gave a wise smile.
In the eyes of the broken and dilapidated, it was just like the inner demons that immortals might experience—full of allure.
As it turned out, its intuition was right: "Do you want to be a system your whole life? Don't you want to have your own body, even if it's just a small animal?"
Its tiny, tattered eyes, no bigger than mung beans, were wide open, much larger than usual, and it nodded vigorously.
Little Black patted its head. "Then you'll listen to me."

When He Suining woke up, it was already the next day. She groggily propped herself up in bed. Apart from feeling a little sleepy, she felt perfectly fine.
Thinking about it carefully, it seems that Yitian really did just hold her and sleep all night yesterday, without doing anything else.
So, he still had doubts about her.
But it is currently in a state of flux.
Ugh.
He Suining got out of bed, changed into a light casual outfit, washed up, and went out.
The fairies prepared breakfast.
"Madam, this was made by the Dragon Lord himself. He said he would heat it up for you after you wake up."
No wonder the workmanship looked so familiar, and it tasted just as good.
He Suining expressed her gratitude, and the fairy children waved their hands, feeling flattered.
Wait until he finishes breakfast.
Suddenly, a broken sound came to my head.
[Host, the Time and Space Administration needs to perform a system upgrade, so I'll be leaving temporarily. By the way, your sister, the Queen of the mortal realm, has replied to your message; you'll need to attend to it.]
He Suining ate a couple of mouthfuls of rice, called out to Polan softly twice, but there was no response.
She shook her head, somewhat unaccustomed to it.
After dinner, Yitian returned.
"Yitian, I need to descend to the mortal realm." She flicked her tail, looking conflicted. "Do you know how I can fully transform into human form?"
If she keeps going like this, she'll scare people to death.
Yitian seemed completely uninterested in her fox tail, glancing at it before looking away. "That's how it is with your fox clan; you don't have a complete transformation incantation. I'll teach you later. If you go to the mortal realm, I'll go with you; I'm worried about you."
“Okay.” He Suining nodded repeatedly.
She was trying to figure out an excuse to get Yitian to go with her. She had things to do on both sides. The Queen's matter concerned the change in her world's ending, so she definitely had to deal with it.
But she was also worried about Yitian. What if Yitian secretly entered the Wheel of Reincarnation while she was away? Then everything she had done would have been in vain.
Fall short.
He Suining transformed into a complete human form, and looking back, she realized there was no tail left. She finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She's never really gotten used to the tail. It's quite pretty and fluffy, and it would be so comfortable to sleep with it, but she just doesn't feel comfortable with it.
Yi Tian glanced behind her but didn't say anything.
The two of them arrived in the mortal realm.
He Suining arrived at the secret location and found a reply letter from the Queen's sister.
"The Rose Queen has a sister?" Yi Tian stared curiously at the reply in her hand. He had already learned from her that she had contacted the Rose Queen's sister in advance.
The letter was opened, but it contained no extra information except for an address.
He Suining recognized the address; it was a bar in a remote area. The code on the bar was the name of a drink, and it sounded delicious.
“Rose has not only a younger sister, but also brothers and sisters.” He Suining burned the letter away, and only after it was completely burned away did she lead Yitian toward the bar, explaining as they walked, “The queen’s position on Azure Star has always been reserved for girls. Some of Rose’s sisters have died, and some have been reassigned to other planets. Only this younger sister, Princess Yan Hua, has remained because she was favored by the previous queen.”
"After the previous queen died, Princess Yan Hua was sickly and weak since childhood. She was rarely out and about due to her long-term illness, and few people paid attention to her."
Yi Tian looked at her curiously with his eyes lowered, "Is she really frail and sickly, or..."
He Suining gave him a "you're so smart" smile. "Of course not. She was just giving Rose a message—I won't compete with you for the throne, in order to save her own life."
But to say that Princess Yan Hua, being the same child of the Queen, had no desire for the Queen's position is utter nonsense.
Rose was just lucky; the White Knight was on her side, and she even nurtured a war god on his side.
His power was unstoppable, and he smoothly ascended the throne.
As they spoke, they arrived at a bar called "Three-Headed Pigs," a name that sounded rather crude.
Pushing open the door, I entered a room filled with the smell of alcohol, mixed with an unpleasant odor I couldn't quite identify. However, the men and women drinking there didn't seem to care, happily clinking glasses.
Foul language filled the entire living room.
The proprietress was a plump woman dressed in coarse linen clothes, with a round waist.
He is wiping a beer glass.
Her hair was flaxen with some dry, yellowish tinge.
Hearing customers sitting near the bar, she looked over. Since they were unfamiliar faces, the proprietress came over personally. "Is this your first time here? What would you like to drink? Wheat beer is the classic, a large glass is only ten interstellar coins."
He Suining and Yitian sat in chairs.
She smiled at the proprietress and said, "Do you have Yan Hua wine? I heard it's very beautiful and brewed by the proprietress herself."
The proprietress narrowed her slightly round eyes and stared intently at her.
After a while, he nodded and said, "Yes, please come into the private room."
So He Suining and Yitian moved their positions again.
It was called a private room, but there was no one inside at all; it was the proprietress's private room.
The door slammed shut.
He Suining and Yitian turned around, and the proprietress rudely pulled out an old-fashioned long gun and pointed it at them.
The two looked at each other, neither of them showing any fear.
I just felt that the boss lady was quite cautious, which was good. The more cautious they were, the safer they would be when discussing things.
"Tell me, where did you hear that from, and who are you people?"
He Suining took off the mask from her face.
Rather than mentioning her name directly, her face is probably more widely known on the planet Azure.
Sure enough, the moment the mask was removed, the proprietress gaped in astonishment, "War... War God!"
The proprietress even swore.
But she didn't lower the gun; she hesitated. Her tone was full of admiration and respect, but also naturally, confusion. "I don't understand, General. I mean, the Queen informed us of your possible death, and said that you trespassed into the Zerg territory and might be colluding with them. How did you end up here?"
"Furthermore, if I remember correctly, the Rose Queen might be unhappy if you are looking for Princess Yan Hua."
It means you are loyal to the current Queen.
When the Rose Queen was mentioned, He Suining's eyes showed a cold pain and hatred.
She shrugged helplessly, recounting the embarrassing past in a light tone, "In fact, it was the Queen who plotted to send me there. She wanted to trap me in the Zerg territory, let me die there, and then conveniently say that I betrayed the country and betrayed her..."
The proprietress's mouth gaped open even wider in disbelief.
This melon is no ordinary melon; it's enormous, even bigger than a watermelon.
"As for Princess Yan Hua, I corresponded with her, and she sent me to find you. Yes, you heard me right and you didn't misunderstand. The Queen wanted to kill me, so I betrayed her. Now I intend to support Princess Yan Hua to ascend the throne."
The proprietress remained silent for a long time before finally putting the gun down.
"It's unbelievable. Everyone on the Blue Star knows how loyal you are to the Queen. To be honest, when the Queen's announcement came out, I didn't believe it."
"Many people believe in you, but we never expected it to be for this reason."
The proprietress hung the gun back on the wall, walked over, and stretched out her chubby hand. It looked a little dirty and calloused, but it felt warm to the touch.
"I am Princess Yan Hua's wet nurse, and I have taken care of her since she was a child. You can just call me Wang Ma."
For a moment, He Suining inappropriately thought of Wang Ma, a character indispensable in many domineering CEO novels. She never expected that there would be Wang Ma in interstellar space.
She shook hands firmly with Wang Ma.
“Princess Yan Hua would come here in disguise every Friday night; that was the only time she was allowed to come and go freely.”
When Princess Yan Hua was mentioned, Wang Ma felt very sorry for her. "Although the Rose Queen let her go, I know she has been keeping an eye on her. Our princess has been pretending to be sick for so many years, and she can only come here on Fridays when she goes to church."
He Suining raised an eyebrow. "Is there a passageway leading here from St. Anne's Church?"
The proprietress smiled but didn't say much, but it was obvious.
She nodded. "Okay, I'll come again on Friday."
She arranged to meet the landlady on Friday, and the landlady was delighted, seeing a glimmer of hope.
If the Rose Queen falls from power, Princess Yan Hua will take over.
Then she won't have to stay here serving these drunkards anymore, and Princess Yan Hua's life will undergo a complete transformation. That's wonderful!
