So said:

“Su Nuo was not killed; he died of old age.”

Lilith was taken aback, clearly somewhat incredulous:

"Died of old age? You must be joking. He's only in his twenties, how could he die of old age? Could it be progeria?"

So shook his head, giving Lilith a strange look:

“Su Nuo died at the age of eighty-one, which is sixty years different from the twenty years you mentioned.”

Sixty years...

These three words echoed in Lilith's mind, and when she realized she had been sleeping instead of enjoying herself, she suddenly collapsed:

"A parent outliving their child... Su Nuo, how could you die? You died so tragically! I didn't even have time to enjoy life before you died. How could you face me like this?"

As she spoke, Lilith lay down on the ground and began to throw a tantrum, muttering:

"Su Nuo, I'm counting on you to take care of me in my old age. If you die, who will take care of me then..."

Faced with Lilith's exaggerated performance, So was stunned for a long while before turning to Amelia and whispering:

Has she always been like this?

Amelia didn't speak, but nodded slightly to So...

After Lilith recovered from the grief of losing Sukuna, she wiped away non-existent tears and said to So:

"I watched this child grow up, please don't be offended... Do you have something to say?"

"of course."

So nodded. He decided to reveal that Su Nuo would be resurrected in the future. The reason he did this was that he realized from the situation just now that Lilith was a thug who wasn't very bright.

So he decided to use the matter of resurrecting Sukuna to bind Lilith to his ship, but he must never reveal that "as long as Sukuna's fingers are fed to someone else, Sukuna can be resurrected at any time by receiving flesh."

This would only make Zoro's effectiveness almost zero. In order to turn Lilith and Amelia into his henchmen, Zoro said this:

"Ahem, actually I can revive Su Nuo under special circumstances, but it will take a long time. If you are willing, I can sign a contract with you."

"In the distant future, when Su Nuo is resurrected, I will resurrect you all and reunite you."

"Can Su Nu really be resurrected?!"

Lilith became slightly agitated after hearing what Suo said.

Suo smiled and nodded confidently:

"of course."

"That's great!"

Lilith didn't detect any deception, which meant that what So said was true. However, there was one point about So's words that needed to be refuted:

"You're saying Su Nuo will be resurrected in the distant future? Whether it's a hundred years or a thousand years, we can wait, so let's forget about signing the contract."

While I don't doubt your ability to resurrect Sukuna, you've been acting suspiciously from the start, and I'm a little worried you'll break your promise...

"Since that's the case, then you can stay here. If you break your promise, I can kill you the moment you do. What do you think?"

Hearing this, Suo was a little stunned. He felt insulted by Lilith's words, such as "can wait," "sneaky," "break your promise," and "I'll beat you to death." Just as he was about to refuse, he met Lilith's smiling eyes.

That look in his eyes seemed to leave him no room to refuse...

Chapter 86: Let's Become Maids! (Swoosh!)

And so, So, who had only wanted to make a pact with the snake, was forced to stay. Not only did he not see the snake, he also ended up getting himself into trouble.

This raises a crucial question: for the future plan, So must gather enough cursed spirits and powerful individuals; if he stays here indefinitely, the start of the plan will be postponed indefinitely.

Realizing this, So, dressed in a maid outfit, stood by the sink, gripping it with both hands, and banged her head against the wall in frustration.

"How could I have agreed so carelessly? Damn it! If I stay here, I'll go crazy sooner or later!"

As for why So was wearing a classic maid outfit, it was because Lilith forced her to. Even though So was born in a female body many years ago, the thought of having to wear a maid outfit to serve Lilith was incredibly embarrassing!

In order to get rid of Lilith and Amelia, So envisioned many ways, such as poisoning, drugging, faking death to escape, and so on. He thought of every possible method.

But Mr. Su felt that something bad would happen after using these methods, and the last time he had this feeling was the last time.

Considering that life is only once, So decided to find the safest way, preferably late at night when Lilith and Amelia were fast asleep.

To be on the safe side, I need to figure out their schedule. If my first escape attempt fails, they will never give me a second chance...

Suo took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. After a while, she left the restroom.

But as soon as he opened the door, he saw Amelia standing outside, looking as if she had been waiting there for a long time.

Seeing this, Sog's calmed heart immediately jumped again. Facing Amelia's gaze, he always felt that he was being seen through.

[How did she get here? Has she already figured out my intention to escape? No, I must dispel her suspicions.]

Thinking this way, Su quickly came up with a seemingly reasonable excuse for his unusually long time in the bathroom:

"Sorry, this is the first time I've worn such a beautiful dress. I couldn't help but stare at myself in the mirror for a while."

[? ? ? ]

Hearing So's words, Amelia was full of questions. She glanced at So and felt as if her eyes had been sprayed with pepper spray.

Because Suo was in male form at the moment, wearing a maid outfit did not give him a delicate beauty; instead, he looked very rugged and far from beautiful. He resembled a gorilla in clothes.

Amelia remained silent for a few seconds, then looked away as if she hadn't heard anything and didn't ask any further questions. After all, vanity is a natural human trait.

Amelia handed the broom to So and began to give him instructions on what a maid should do.

"From now on, you'll need to help me manage this villa. Since you're new here, I won't give you anything too complicated. Just clean the floors and get familiar with the work. If you have any questions, just let me know..."

Seeing that he had successfully fooled them, So breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, he listened carefully to Amelia's words, preparing to work as a maid for a few days to lower Lilith and Amelia's guard. He planned to escape only after he had thoroughly figured out their background...

However, when the pampered Suo actually started doing housework, he realized that it was not a simple task at all. He had only cleaned less than half of the living room when he straightened up and felt a sharp pain in his back.

[My back feels like it's going to break... Is this even something a human being can do?]

So began to doubt his life. Looking at the half of the living room that still needed cleaning, he felt a headache coming on. But in order to satisfy Amelia, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and start cleaning the remaining area.

As for why So doesn't use spell power to strengthen his body, it's simply because of his pride as a sorcerer.

In So's view, if even something as simple as cleaning requires the use of magical power, then he is not worthy of the title of sorcerer.

After a great deal of effort, Sue finally finished cleaning the living room. He was exhausted and lay on the floor, breathing heavily, enjoying the moment.

Amelia examined him thoroughly, then came before him and showered him with praise:

"To be honest, what you did was so-so, but for your first time, it's pretty good."

Seeing Amelia smile, So felt a surge of satisfaction, a sense that "what I had done had not been in vain." But as he realized this thought was very wrong, Amelia said something else:

"Since you're staying here, you'll naturally need a place to sleep. I've prepared your room; come and take a look."

With that, Amelia turned and led the way. So, without thinking too much, got up from the ground and followed.

Then, the two stopped in front of the curved staircase leading to the second floor. Amelia pointed to a small door about half a person's height at the bottom of the stairs and said to So:

"Since there are no extra rooms upstairs, we have to clear out the storage room. I hope you don't mind."

Why would I mind?

So forced a smile, clearly his true thoughts were the complete opposite of what he said. Having been used to living in a big house, suddenly moving into a storage room was such a huge contrast that So felt like a tiger fallen into the plains being bullied by dogs.

[This situation is only temporary; consider it a unique experience, it can be quite enjoyable... By the way, that door is so low, why does it look more and more like a dog hole?]

Just as So's brainwashing attempt failed, Amelia's voice suddenly rang out:

"What are you standing there for? Aren't you going in to take a look?"

Upon hearing this, Suo sighed, realizing that obeying was part of his plan to increase his chances of escaping.

Suo walked down the stairs, opened the half-person-high door, and bent down to enter.

I expected to see a dark, damp, and foul-smelling moldy scene, but what I saw was a space that was more spacious than I had imagined.

The room is approximately 15 square meters in size and tall enough that one can stand up straight with about half a meter of space between their head and the ceiling.

The room contained a large bed with bedding, a built-in wardrobe, and a desk. Although the room was not large, it did not feel crowded, and under the warm light from the overhead lamp, the room exuded a cozy feeling.

So was stunned when he looked at the room. He had thought that Amelia had made him stay here just to humiliate him, but now it seemed that was not the case.

The only thing that puzzled So was why the door was so low when the room was spacious enough, until Amelia's voice came:

"How is it? Looks good, right?"

So turned around and saw Amelia standing in the doorway. The doorway that required him to stoop to enter, Amelia stood there upright...

Chapter 87: Important Notes for a Qualified Maid

After finishing his chores and touring the rooms, So was then instructed by Amelia to familiarize himself with the villa in preparation for his future work.

This was a good opportunity to learn about the villa's layout, so he took advantage of it and wandered around inside. After circling most of the villa, he finally stopped in front of the bookshelves in the living room.

His gaze swept across the bookshelves filled with books, and the words on the spines caught his eye. He squinted slightly, unable to decipher the characters:

"What are these books? Why can't I understand these words?"

Suo was puzzled, unable to find the source or meaning of these words in his mind no matter what he tried, but he had a vague feeling that these words did not belong to the land beneath his feet.

He took a book from the bookshelf, glanced at it, and the dense text looked like ants to him. He quickly turned the pages, only pausing for a moment when he encountered an illustration.

After finishing the book, he put it back and picked up another one, repeating this process until he had read all the books on the shelf. Only then did he realize that he had wasted a lot of time.

"........."

Then, Suo turned his gaze to the second floor, and followed the curved staircase behind the reception room to the second floor, where he saw three rooms.

The door to the first room was tightly closed. Without a doubt, this was Lilith's room. After finishing breakfast, she went back to her room and fell fast asleep.

The doors to the remaining two rooms were ajar. Suo walked over and gently pushed the doors open. The rooms were fairly clean, fully furnished, and had a window overlooking the lake. There was also a faint slash mark on the wall.

[Is this Sukuna's room?]

Suo guessed, but did not linger there. Instead, he went to Amelia's room to gather information. However, Amelia's room was surprisingly simple. Apart from the necessary furniture such as the bed and wardrobe, there were almost no other furnishings.

Through this experience, So gained a slightly deeper understanding of Amelia. In his eyes, Amelia had transformed from a mysterious maid with horns on her head into a dutiful and responsible mysterious maid...
