I am the Executioner Dragon, but a cute mod

Suo was startled and thought to himself:

[She wouldn't think I killed Sukuna, would she?! Even though I don't know their relationship, if I don't explain it clearly, it's going to cause a huge problem!]

With this thought in mind, Suo dared not delay and immediately spoke:

"Listen to my explanation, Su Nuo wasn't killed by me, he died of old age!"

"To die of old age?"

Upon hearing this, Amelia, who was about to attack So, paused, staring at So. Seeing no trace of deception on his face, the oppressive aura she had been projecting instantly dissipated…

Please take one day off.

Sorry, I need to take a day off.

Chapter 84: Style from Later Times

To clear up the misunderstanding, Suo quickly explained, recounting everything from Su Nuo's first appearance in the outside world, to being besieged by noble families, to his mad revenge, and finally his dedication to education... Suo told them all in detail.

After saying this, So looked at Amelia again and found that a very awkward emotion had appeared on her face.

Suo had already guessed that the little girl in front of him had a close relationship with Su Nuo. Being the type to want to control the situation, he immediately considered several possibilities after he said those words, in order to deal with the next development.

But Amelia's slightly disappointed expression was quite different from the anger, sorrow, confusion, and bewilderment that So had imagined; it was more like... a pet she had raised for a while had died.

Although this is not entirely accurate, the meaning is very similar.

[What exactly is her relationship with Sukuna? Why did she make that expression after I finished speaking? Strange, so strange, I just can't understand it...]

So thought about it and then began to think about how to get away. From the aura just now, So could clearly feel that Amelia was stronger than him, at least in his current body he couldn't beat her.

But before that, Amelia's voice rang out, interrupting Zoe's thoughts:

"Since you know so much about Su Nuo, you two must have a pretty good relationship. Come in and chat."

As soon as she finished speaking, Amelia opened the door wide, stepped aside, and made way for So.

So was finally able to see the interior of the house. A spacious living room came into view, with a two-story curved staircase leading directly to the second floor behind it. To the left was an open kitchen and dining room, and to the right was a small garden filled with unknown flowers and plants.

Although this scene was somewhat inferior to the mansions of the wealthy and noble, its style far surpassed that of the times, which captivated So's gaze.

Under the influence of the brain-transfer technique, So could have an almost endless lifespan by constantly changing bodies. In order to make this long lifespan less interesting, So devised a plan with an extremely long duration to promote the assimilation of humans with Tianyuan.

So did this simply out of curiosity about what kind of advanced life form humans would become after assimilating with Tianyuan. It was this curiosity that drove Su Nuo to work towards it.

Now, Sukuna's curiosity was rekindled, both about Amelia and the origins of the mansion.

[Perhaps, I can use Sukuna's relationship with her to make her a pawn in my scheme.]

So quickly set his sights on Amelia, but he cautiously kept it hidden, instead readily accepting Amelia's invitation and entering the mansion before him.

Led by Amelia, So sat down in front of the sofa. Although he had prepared himself mentally, he was still utterly shocked when he actually sat on the furniture from the future.

Simply describing it as soft and comfortable is not enough. How can one describe this feeling? It's like... countless sheep are licking his buttocks, each lick perfectly timed, each lick leaving no spot untouched.

...This is true enjoyment.

So sighed inwardly, but soon he refocused his attention on Amelia.

At this moment, Amelia had already taken her seat opposite So, staring at him, unsure of where to begin her question. After a moment's thought, she finally spoke:

"How has Su Nuo been all these years?"

This question immediately piqued Suo's interest, because simply using "good" or "bad" is hardly enough to encompass the entire sixty years.

After some thought, he came up with a relatively perfect answer:

"Over the years he has taught many sorcerers and given many children a home. I think he is very satisfied with his life over the years."

Is that so?

Amelia was skeptical of So's words. If Su Nuo was truly satisfied with his life these past years, why didn't he come back here to see Lilith?

Therefore, Amelia believes that Sukuna must have been living in self-blame all these years, and that his "friend" Sora was completely unaware of this, which only shows that Sukuna hid it very well.

For a moment, the atmosphere became too quiet. Amelia didn't ask any questions, and So didn't know what to say either.

To avoid feeling too awkward, So began to observe the specific furnishings in the room, such as the abstract painting made up of multiple geometric shapes, the bronze statue of Lilith on horseback in the corner with an unclear meaning, and the most normal-looking retro-style solid wood grandfather clock.

Staring at the intricately designed machine that was moving, Suo felt only wonder. He couldn't understand why this thing could move on its own without any magical power flowing through it.

Three hundred years later, when Western missionaries introduced mechanical clocks to Japan, it was only then that Zoller realized what he had truly experienced back then…

As So stared at the grandfather clock in amazement, Amelia also glanced at the time every now and then. When the hour and minute hands reached a familiar position, Amelia got up and went to the kitchen.

Faced with Amelia's sudden action, So looked over. Because the kitchen was open, he could clearly see Amelia starting to set up pots and pans, as if she were preparing a meal.

[Is it a bit late to be cooking now? Or... does she think I haven't eaten yet and prepared this especially for me?]

As he thought this, So glanced at the ingredients taken from the freezer: meat from an unknown creature, mysterious purple fruit, coniferous plants, and sticky yellow cubes.

Seeing these ingredients, Suo felt terrible. He couldn't feel at ease making food from things he couldn't even name.

He even began to suspect:

[Is this edible?]

Once Amelia has prepared the ingredients, she can heat a pan, add the meat, and sear it until both sides are set and the edges are sealed. Then she can add the sticky yellow cubes, the chopped purple fruit, and the coniferous plants.

Under the high temperature, the sticky yellow cube melted into something resembling oil. As Amelia poured the oil onto the meat again and again, a strange aroma suddenly wafted out.

The aroma that filled his nostrils instantly snapped him out of his daze. He savored the fragrance repeatedly, the rich meaty scent mixed with milky notes and crisp herbal notes, it was incredibly tempting.

So had never smelled such an enticing aroma before. His mouth immediately began to water, and he longed to rush into the kitchen and devour the food that was still cooking.

[Wait, wait a little longer. Anyway, these are all mine. There's no point in rushing...]

So comforted himself with this thought, looking forward to this delicacy from the future. Little did he know that Amelia's sudden trip to the kitchen to cook had nothing to do with him.

The reason for cooking in this world is that Lilith will wake up around this time, and Amelia needs to ensure that Lilith can enjoy a fresh breakfast as soon as she gets up...

Chapter 85: The White-Haired Send Off the Black-Haired

Once the food was cooked, Amelia plated it, placed it on the dining table outside the kitchen, and then went back to the kitchen to wash the utensils.

Soya licked his lips as he entered the restaurant. Looking at the fragrant pan-fried steak, he rubbed his hands together, said, "Let's dig in," and reached for the steak.

His hand got closer and closer to the steak, until it was only 0.001 centimeters away, about to touch it, when suddenly a small hand clamped down on his wrist, preventing him from moving an inch.

"What..." Suo was taken aback and asked instinctively.

But when he looked down the arm, he realized that the person who had stopped him was not Amelia, but a purple-haired girl wearing a dark purple Lolita dress. At that moment, she was holding onto him with one hand and yawning with the other.

Upon seeing this unfamiliar face, Sue blurted out:

"Who are you? What are you doing here?"

Upon hearing this, Lilith, who had just woken up and found someone trying to touch her breakfast, was displeased. She brushed So's hand away, put her hands on her hips, and said:

"That's what I should be asking you. Who are you? What are you doing in my house? Don't even think about leaving here until you explain yourself!"

Upon hearing this, Socai snapped out of his daze and, looking at Lilith's clothes—similar to Amelia's but also out of step with the times—realized that Lilith was the owner of the mansion.

Before his first body switch, Soben was a nobleman. He knew very well that his rudeness as a guest would at best result in being expelled, and at worst, he would be punished by force.

To avoid further embarrassment, Suo took a half step back, leaned slightly forward, clasped his hands in a gesture of respect, and bowed his head, saying:

"I apologize for my abruptness. Please forgive me."

Seeing that So had apologized, Lilith didn't intend to make a big deal out of it. Under So's gaze, she reached for the steak, tore into it, and said:

"So, who exactly are you? How did Amelia let you in?"

Upon hearing this, So was about to introduce himself, but before he could speak, Amelia, who was in the kitchen, overheard Lilith's words and answered first:

“Boss, he’s a friend of Su Nuo’s. I let him in because we happened to be passing by.”

"I see."

Lilith, with a piece of steak in her mouth, turned her gaze back to So and said:

"That Sukuna guy hasn't been back for a long time, I wonder what he's been up to out there, maybe he's been corrupted by some bad influence... Are you really Sukuna's friend?"

Just as So was about to answer the question, he was startled when he met Lilith's wise gaze. He realized that lying at this moment would definitely cause a big problem.

So, in order to avoid being labeled a "liar" by Lilith and Amelia, So gave an ambiguous answer:

"We wouldn't call each other friends, but we know each other."

Lilith nodded slightly at this answer, as if acknowledging it, and then asked the next question:

"By the way, how is Su Nuo doing now? He hasn't come back for so long, people who don't know the situation would think he died out there."

After she finished speaking, Amelia cleaned up the dishes and brought a cup of warm milk to Lilith's side.

Seeing Lilith take a sip of milk, Mr. So felt that if he spoke at this moment, something bad would happen.

Perhaps I'm overthinking it.

So thought this through and took a deep breath:

"he died."

Upon hearing this, Lilith, who was drinking milk, opened her eyes wide, gasped, and before she could even swallow the milk, she sprayed it all over So's face with a "pfft".

"What did you say? Su Nu is dead? How is that possible!"

Lilith blurted out, then realized she had gotten a little too excited when she saw So, who had been sprayed with milk and had a "I knew it" look on his face.

He gave an embarrassed smile and wiped the cloth with his hand.

"Would you believe me if I said I didn't do it on purpose?"

How could Suo, currently staying at someone else's house, dare to utter a single word of dissent? He wiped the milk off his face with his sleeve and, feigning nonchalance, said:

"Of course, even if it was intentional, I would never hold a grudge against you for it, right?"

"That's good."

Lilith patted her chest, then soon adopted an indignant expression, clenching her fists:

"So who killed Su Nuo? Tell me quickly who did it so I can avenge him."
