I'm in Star Iron, and I draw power from the Inner World every week.

What kind of analysis is this?

Chapter 17 The [Trick] That Was Seen Through

Su Yang had originally hoped that this [analysis] would allow him to understand the opponent's combat strength.

The result is this value.

However, it wouldn't be entirely true to say that this ability is useless.

Because these X-ray glasses will remain in use for two hours after they are summoned.

There won't be a situation where a single glance consumes an ability use, and during this period, he can even control his abilities at will.

Su Yang blinked, and Aglaia's bath towel 'restored', but Xia Die's bath towel remained missing.

After a short period of adjustment, I was able to handle the details without any problems.

Su Yang then lowered his gaze, looking directly through the high platform where the Hero's Bath was located, and saw the crowd singing and dancing below.

In conclusion, the perspective is still very convenient, but the [analysis] he originally had high hopes for is relatively useless.

"Su Yang, what are you thinking about? If you don't mind, you can share it with us. This kind of occasion is suitable for heart-to-heart talks."

Aglaia flicked her finger, and a tailor brought three glasses of juice to the bath.

"I think Aglaia and Xiaodie are both very charming. It's an honor to bathe with you here." Su Yang took the juice and sipped it.

It's sweet and delicious, like pure, natural orange juice.

"Thank you for your compliment." Aglaia smiled and nodded.

Unlike Aglaia, Xia Die was not at ease. Her cheeks were flushed pink the whole time, and she didn't dare to look at Su Yang.

"Butterfly, relax."

"Sorry, I might not be feeling well today..."

"Shall I give you a reply?" Su Yang suggested.

"No, that can't be. Su Yang's [reply] has a miraculous effect and should be reserved for a more suitable person."

“Xia Die is perfect for me. As I’ve said before, your health is very important.”

"I'm sorry, it was a lie to say I wasn't feeling well today. Thanks to Su Yang's healing, I've been feeling great lately and haven't been having nightmares anymore... so I really don't need to be [replied]." Xia Die's face continued to heat up.

"Are you really alright?" Su Yang asked, slightly doubtful.

In the past, he might have thought that Xia Die was shy and that Tie had a crush on him.

Thanks to Aglaia, his narcissism has lessened somewhat, so Su Yang will remain observant of Xia Die's subtle actions for now.

Even his previous hand-holding and hugging were done with pure intentions, from the perspective of a friend.

Now, his [clairvoyance] is mainly for testing abilities, with the rest being an appreciation of beauty.

Of course, this politeness was just a facade Su Yang had built for himself.

"Well, I usually shower alone, so showering together like this is a bit uncomfortable. I'm sorry, but lying is wrong."

"It's only natural for people to do this. So we can bathe together more often in the future, and we'll gradually get used to it."

"Eh?"

There's nothing wrong with what she said, but to Xia Die, it felt like her heart was about to escape and her body was involuntarily getting hot.

Lately, this has been happening a lot when I'm with Su Yang.

"Alright, Su Yang, if this keeps up, Die might faint," Aglaia teased.

"Hmm? Is that so? I'm sorry."

"No, Lady Aglaia, you're exaggerating." Xia Die's fair cheeks flushed even more.

"I've never seen a butterfly show such awkwardness and happiness before."

"Well."

"By the way, Aglaia, after I used [Reply] on you, I also accidentally read your memories."

"I'm not surprised, but I hope my memory hasn't caused you any trouble."

"Perhaps this is a bit offensive to your privacy."

"If that's the case, I wouldn't have accepted your [reply] in the first place. More than that, I'm concerned about whether you also felt the power of [romance]?"

"This is also something I'd like to ask you about."

“I can try to teach you [knitting] step by step, so that you can understand [beauty].

"Row."

Just then, a sound came from afar.

Three petite figures ran over quickly.

"Xiao Yang, you're a big star now!" The most energetic Tian gave Su Yang a thumbs up.

"Xiao Yang is really amazing!" Ti Bao gave a thumbs up.

"Awesome." Even the quiet Tinning gave a thumbs up.

"Actually, I feel unworthy of this, because most of them are just trivial favors, and I cannot bear your respect."

He didn't use perspective.

After all, the guilt one feels when looking at such a little guy is not something that can be excused by simply stacking armor.

"Not bad, humility is a plus!" Tian continued to give Su Yang a thumbs up.

“Speaking of which, we heard from Aya that Xiaoyang, you have an older sister who is also in Ohmma, right? Isn’t she planning to come to the party with us? We’d like to get to know Xiaoyang’s sister too.”

Tibo sat down on the edge of the bathtub, took off her shoes, and dangled her soft, cute little feet.

Tian and Tianning did the same thing, but Tian was more mischievous and splashed water at Tianning with her toes.

"She's resting, and I've tried to contact her."

Su Yang almost forgot that he now had an older sister, but he did contact Huang Quan by phone to invite her to the awesome bathhouse party.

In the end, he was successfully rejected.

The communication stone slab and a normal mobile phone can communicate with each other, and there is no obstacle to his communication with Huang Quan.

"It would be a shame to miss such a lively day!" Tian was still making a ruckus, full of energy.

"So I should probably head back now. I'm worried she'll be too lonely by herself. See you tomorrow, everyone."

.....

Su Yang declined Xia Die and Aglaia's offer of escort and prepared to return to his residence.

He actually really wanted to soak in the hot springs more often and interact with other people more.

But he also wanted to keep Huang Quan company while he stayed home alone.

Of course, the most important thing is that the duration of his ability is running out, and he wants to test it on Huang Quan one last time.

It wasn't that he had any lewd thoughts; rather, he wanted to test his abilities to see if he was effective against an existence of Huang Quan's caliber.

I can still reply today, and I can try to see if I can help Huang Quan.

"I'm in a great mood."

Su Yang felt that the present moment was incredibly wonderful, filled with health, sunshine, and positivity.

When Su Yang reached the gate of the Cloud Stone Palace, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.

He smelled gunpowder.

The sky also looked a bit strange.

He noticed it as soon as he started using the X-ray glasses: after activating the glasses, the outside world would appear very bright, even reddish.

Su Yang frowned and quickened his pace as he ran outside...

Then he froze on the spot.

far away.

The Dawn Machine, borne by the Titan of Negative World, was already shattered, and its core emanated an unsettling aura of terror, occasionally unleashing celestial fire in all directions, like divine punishment.

The golden blood that flowed from Titan's hands had long since dried, and the towering figure that remained there seemed to be nothing more than an empty shell.

In this apocalyptic scene, even some of the buildings and landscapes that Su Yang could see with his own eyes seemed to have turned into phantoms that could disappear at any moment.

"Alas, I never expected that my [trick] would be seen through by the Death Knight."

Chapter 18 The Bad Cat

The sudden sound didn't frighten Su Yang, because he hadn't yet recovered from the apocalyptic scene.

"Hey, Death Knight, don't just stand there, acknowledge me!"

Sai Feier waved her hand in front of Su Yang.

A cute big cat wearing a hood—that was Su Yang's first impression of her.

"You are... Safaria?"

"Huh? We've met before?"

"I've never met you before, but I think I know you."

“No, buddy, you’ve only heard of 'Sai Fei’er,' right? Who told you my real name? The seamstress?” Sai Fei’er said with displeasure.

"It's fine to treat it that way."

Su Yang did indeed learn Sai Fei'er's real name through Aglaia's [memories], and Aglaia will definitely explain this to Sai Fei'er later.

However, what he gleaned from Aglaia was mostly unpleasant and 'troublesome' information.

Information about the demigod Cypher, who inherited the power of [Trickery], is extremely scarce.

The clearest point is that Aglaia believes she is disliked by Seifer and is still bothered by it.

"Fine, I'll settle the score with the seamstress later, but first you need to explain how you saw through the [trick]?"

Saifei crossed her arms over her chest, her tail swaying behind her.

Su Yang couldn't help but wonder if the tail was real.

If not, is it considered a widget or a plugin?

Fortunately, with X-ray glasses, Su Yang quickly got the answer to this problem.

Saifei is a real catgirl, and quite big at that.

"Maybe I'm a bit special, and if you hadn't said that, I wouldn't have known it was a [trick]," Su Yang said frankly.

His mind is a bit of a mess right now.

Putting aside this big, white, and well-proportioned catgirl.

After witnessing that apocalyptic scene, in addition to being shocked, the nightmares he had previously experienced also came flooding back.

"That's weird, I really want to steal you away and study you properly." Sai Fei'er looked Su Yang up and down.

"If you could, could you explain what happened?"

"Let's go somewhere else first."

Saifei took out a coin and gently tossed it into the air...

Then nothing happened.

“…” Su Yang tilted his head in confusion.

"Why don't you try turning your body around?" Sai Fei'er's lips twitched.

"Row."
