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

In an instant, Su Yang grabbed Xia Die's soft little feet, then picked up the high heels from the ground and gently helped her put them on little by little.

Chapter 22 Saifei's Encounter with the Underworld

The next day.

Sunlight streamed through the window and fell on Su Yang's face.

As Su Yang gradually emerged from his dream, he realized once again that he had forgotten to close the curtains before going to sleep.

“…”

I got thoroughly trained by Huang Quan again, but I felt as fulfilled as ever.

Huang Quan was satisfied, and so was he.

Su Yang sat up, rubbed his temples, and while adjusting his state, he also checked the mission.

[Daily Task: Push-ups (0/300)]

The quantity has increased, but it's not a big problem.

After plundering the Black Tide monsters, he received feedback that his body had been slightly strengthened.

The reason it's described as "slightly" is because [Plunder] doesn't absorb negative things, and the Black Tide Creations are a collection of negative things, so the feedback received is severely diluted.

After finishing his thoughts, Su Yang went down to the ground to do his task.

dong dong dong.

The knocking interrupted Su Yang's actions.

"Please come in." Su Yang got up from the ground, and the door was slowly pushed open.

It's Aglaia.

She gazed tenderly at Su Yang:

"Good morning, Su Yang."

Good morning to you too.

"Shall we do something fun before we have breakfast together?"

"Something interesting? I'll play along to the end."

Su Yang couldn't resist the fun.

"Heh, let's start with a good morning kiss then."

"Come on." Su Yang opened his arms.

"Dude, are you really planning to come? Does the seamstress really do these kinds of things with you all the time?"

'Aglaia' uttered a puzzled remark, and in the blink of an eye, she transformed into Saifei's appearance.

"Because I saw it from the very beginning."

Actually it is not.

Su Yang was initially puzzled as to why Aglaia had suddenly revealed her feelings.

But there's no reason not to eat the delicious fruit that's offered to him for free, so he chose to agree first and consider the rest later.

Do you know who's standing in front of you?

"[Trickery] Demigod, the fastest legend of Ohma, the fiercest and most ruthless thief, Sephiroth."

"Hmph, so you think you can lie to me?" Sai Fei'er put her hands on her hips, her tail swaying involuntarily, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.

She felt a certain amount of pleasure when Su Yang read out her identity.

"So you think your [trick] can fool me?" Su Yang retorted with a similar question.

Yesterday, Sai Fei'er's [trick] was completely ineffective under the X-ray glasses, and she herself later explained the principle behind it, so Su Yang certainly has the confidence to say that.

"...You clearly didn't see through the [trick] just now."

"I just toned it down a bit. This is because I saw through it but didn't expose it, so you weren't affected."

"Are you trying to coax a child?" Sai Fei'er asked, looking displeased.

"So, is there something you need? If you need my help, just let me know. After all, we're friends."

"Who's your friend?" Sai Fei'er gave Su Yang the middle finger.

She sighed heavily, then glared fiercely at Su Yang:

"I went back and thought about it, and the more I thought about it, the angrier I got!"

"There's actually someone who dares to provoke Lady Sai Fei'er?" Su Yang was somewhat taken aback.

“…”

"I'll shut up, then you can start talking."

"Let me state upfront that I did not intend to do anything for people by deceiving the world with [tricks]. I just thought it was cool to deceive the world, so I did it."

Repeatedly emphasizing this will not convince people; it will only make them appear more stubborn.

Su Yang chose to remain silent.

"Even if I didn't think that way, I still did a great thing, right? And in the process, someone almost messed things up, so it's okay for me to do more confirmation and testing, isn't it?"

"No problem." Su Yang nodded.

He truly admired Sergei's feat.

Not to mention him, even Huang Quan was somewhat impressed by it, so its value goes without saying.

"Then why did you make me make such a humiliating apology?" Sai Fei'er's cheeks flushed slightly.

There were many reasons why she obediently complied when Su Yang asked her to.

It wasn't just that he was afraid Su Yang would complain to his sister and the seamstress.

The unknown power Su Yang displayed at the time, as well as his ability to see through [tricks], made her very wary.

Most importantly, she did go a bit too far at the time and was in the wrong first, and Su Yang's gaze was extremely serious...

That's why she chose to comply.

But after she got back, she became angrier and angrier the more she thought about it.

So that's why they came to us.

"You can just take that as a joke. I made a similar request to Aglaia, but she refused."

Because he was the one being joked about, Su Yang joked back.

But if Saifeier actually did it, then he could only enjoy it.

"You're nowhere near as good as me..."

Sai Fei'er originally wanted to question how such a joke could be made, but she found that this was the only point on which she could not criticize Su Yang.

"Then I apologize to you too. I can take off my clothes and do a dogeko (prostration) for you."

"?"

"That was just a joke too."

"Haha, you almost made me laugh."

Saifeier genuinely smiled.

She laughed for several seconds before waving goodbye.

"Forget it, I'm magnanimous and won't hold a grudge. Consider it a debt you owe me, and you'll have to pay it back later."

"Ok."

Successfully forging friendships, and even developing special bonds.

Su Yang felt good.

"You're really good with words. It's quite amusing that such an innocent child like Xia Die ended up in your hands."

“We have a very good relationship, and I would never bully her. Xia Die is a princess, and I am her knight.”

"Death Knight, don't you think the person who first came up with that name was being sarcastic?"

"But it is indeed very cool, and I don't feel any mockery when people talk about the Death Knight now."

"Tsk tsk~"

Sai Feier carefully examined Su Yang from head to toe.

Can't see through.

As a highly experienced demigod of [trickery], and arguably the progenitor of lying, she is very sensitive to lies.

Aside from a few jokes, Su Yang was basically telling the truth the whole time.

This is actually even more abstract than a guy who's full of lies.

Su Yang's logic and the secrets he harbored were things she couldn't understand.

"Su Yang, let me ask you, what are you thinking about right now?" Sai Feier asked tentatively.

"Your beautiful face is like that of a pure goddess in the world. I am deeply moved by your beauty."

“…”

Sai Fei'er was speechless.

She could sense that Su Yang's words were a genuine expression of emotion.

The two were gradually enveloped in a silent coma.

At that moment, Huang Quan's figure suddenly appeared at the doorway.

"It seems a bit noisy. Has something happened?"

"?!!"

Sai Fei'er instantly bristled, and alarm bells rang in her mind.

Fine beads of sweat gradually appeared on her forehead, and her whole body stiffened in that instant.

"Mei-nee, it's nothing, just a friend I just met came to chat with me."

Upon catching the keywords, Sai Fei'er immediately realized that the terrifying presence behind her was Su Yang's sister, and was completely convinced that this was another person who had seen through her [trickery].

After understanding the situation, Saifeier tried her best to adjust her state, then forced a somewhat unnatural sweet smile and slowly turned her head:

"Mei...Mei-nee, I don't want to die."

Chapter 23 The Thief Who Returned Empty-handed

"Have we met somewhere before?" Huang Quan was very confused by Sai Fei'er's pleas for mercy.

"Uh, I've never seen it before, that's good." Sai Feier carefully moved her feet away from Huang Quan and got a little closer to Su Yang.

She was certain that Su Yang hadn't complained, but she still didn't want to get close to Huang Quan.

Why is this dangerous guy allowed to live here so openly?

Was the seamstress coerced?

Thinking of this, Sai Feier suddenly gained more courage, and her eyes became more determined.

"Please don't overthink it. I get along very well with the owner of this place, and I am by no means a dangerous person. I'm just here to keep my lonely younger brother company, that's all."

"Wow! Mei-jie, you can read minds?" Sai Fei-er exclaimed in astonishment.

"If you'd like, just call me Huang Quan. Besides, I don't have that ability."

"Okay, Mei-nee." Sai Fei'er's heart was still unsettled.

"If my sudden appearance has caused you any trouble, then I apologize." Huang Quan glanced at Sai Feier a little longer.

She seemed to see through something, but didn't intend to reveal it completely.
