To be honest, ever since Suri was allowed to use her body to eat, Suri has used her body for almost every meal. Sometimes, he would even greedily finish the food himself, leaving Talulah feeling only full.
Talulah herself didn't have any complaints about this, because at this moment, she seemed to vaguely see the image of Suri.
That boyish appearance, lacking any of the characteristics of Draco in the materialization process, was incredibly alluring to Talulah, especially considering that she was completely unguarded.
But why isn't Suri eating out today?
Talulah's inquiry only received a simple reply: "It's nothing, I'm busy with things online right now. You eat, I'm fine with this meal."
"Oh." Talulah nodded, but she wasn't entirely convinced by Suri's explanation, even though she hadn't wanted to miss almost any of the meals before.
However, after tasting the food Alina made, Talulah roughly understood the reason.
It's not that Alina's cooking skills are bad; at least the food is normal. It's just that it's not very delicious because of a lack of ingredients and seasonings.
No wonder Suri didn't come out. Talulah was quietly eating her breakfast. She's quite a picky eater, but her picky eating habits make her seem more like a spoiled child.
An idea popped into Talulah's head, and she tentatively asked, "Alina's breakfast is quite good, would you like to try some?"
"Do you think I'd believe that? I forgot to get up this morning, so Alina used her own ingredients and seasonings. To be honest... I don't mean to be disgusted, but even compared to my past life, it's too simple... Okay, so I guess I am being disgusted by that statement?"
Suri was somewhat resigned to his fate, but as an individual who considered himself a modern person, it was indeed a challenge for him to eat food that was clearly mixed with sawdust or similar substances during the preparation process.
Just as no one would want to eat cockroaches or scorpions if they could eat normal food, Suri was a little resistant.
Moreover, even though it was Talulah's body, Suri was a little worried that her mouth would be scratched by food.
Talulah didn't see anything wrong with it, while Suri at least knew she shouldn't complain about the food someone else made.
However, she didn't give up on her idea and continued to promote it to Su Rui:
'At least, you can give it a try, right? You've probably never tried this flavor before, have you? Alina's breakfast looks pretty good too.'
"No one in the general public would want to try...the taste."
Suri mumbled a word, as if deliberately trying to prevent Talulah from hearing it clearly, but that didn't matter, because Suri decided to give it a try.
"Then I'll give it a try. But let's make it clear, just one bite. If it doesn't taste good, I'm leaving."
'no problem.'
Talulah nodded, and then Suri took over the body, silently taking a bite of breakfast with a spoon, chewing expressionlessly, and then swallowing it.
"How are you feeling?" Talulah asked with some curiosity.
'It doesn't really have much flavor, but it's quite chewy.'
Suri continued eating his breakfast without switching back with Talulah, but still asked, "Do you want to switch back?"
No, eat more if you like.
'Oh. '
Alina naturally didn't hear the conversation between Talulah and Suri in their minds, but since Alina possessed Originium memories related to her mind, she was still able to sense some differences.
The previous Talulah has changed; halfway through the meal, she was controlled by someone else.
So, the person in front of you right now is Su Rui, right?
Alina suddenly became somewhat nervous, paying close attention to "Talulah" in front of her and stealing glances at her every now and then.
What will Suri think of my cooking? Alina instinctively clenched her hands nervously, wanting to say something but too embarrassed to speak.
Breakfast was spent in a somewhat somber atmosphere.
Talulah, having regained control of her body, looked at Alina:
"You should be all ready by now, right? Let's get going."
"Yes, I'm all ready."
Alina looked serious, then took out a package: "Just leave the rest to Dad and Mom."
Volume 2, Chapter 87: There's not enough room for so many people here.
"Do you need me to help you pack your package? It must be tiring to carry things around."
Suri's voice came from Talulah's phone, startling Alina.
Then, the little deer smiled gently and handed the package to Talulah: "Thank you, then I'll leave it to Mr. Suri."
"Hmm, a piece of cake."
As Suri spoke, Alina's package disappeared from her hand. Feeling the weight lift from her hand, Alina blinked in confusion, seemingly still not quite understanding what had happened.
"Eh?"
Talulah glanced at the surprised Alina and explained with the air of someone who had been through it all:
"Don't worry, Suri just put your package somewhere we can't see it. We can return it to you whenever you need it."
"So that's how it is."
Alina nodded, clasped her hands together in front of her chest, and tilted her head with a smile: "Mr. Suri is truly amazing~"
"Of course, I know a lot!"
Suri was delighted by Alina's praise, but Talulah glanced at the system's materialization progress, which was still at two percent.
It seems that the happiness brought by others cannot improve Su Rui's system materialization progress.
Ultimately, she still has to do it herself.
Having silently confirmed her deduction, Talulah coughed lightly and then looked at Alina:
"Let's set off quickly. If we move fast, we should be able to get back to my territory today."
"Hmm... Is Talulah a lord?"
Seeing that Talulah openly revealed her identity, Alina took the opportunity to ask her some questions out of curiosity.
"Yes, I am..."
Before Talulah could finish speaking, Suri's voice interrupted her:
“Standing before you is the descendant of Drak, of noble blood, Duke of Ursus, the undead black serpent, the hope of the Empire, the undying roar, the raging king, and…”
"Really? That's amazing."
Alina stared blankly at Talulah standing in front of her with a look of bewilderment and awe. Although she didn't quite understand the words Suri used, she could already sense from the long list of titles just how powerful Talulah was.
However, facing Alina's gaze, Talulah looked away somewhat uncomfortably.
"It's not that exaggerated. I am indeed the Duke of Ursus, but the other titles were all made up by Suri."
"That's true... but it would be even better if someone added that we can't accommodate so many people here."
Talulah and Alina couldn't understand Suri's quirks and looked at her with confusion. Then, they both shook their heads in unison, ignoring Suri's words, and continued on their way.
After much effort, they returned to Talulah's duchy and, led by Talulah, arrived at her mansion. Only then did Alina realize what kind of being the so-called duke Talulah had mentioned was.
At the very least, seeing the house in front of her gave Alina a preliminary understanding of Talulah's identity.
Looking at the magnificent building, the opulent corridors, and the floor so smooth it could be used as a mirror, the girl couldn't help but whisper:
"This house is even bigger than the village where I live."
"That's normal, after all, this is Ursus... The situation in Terra is actually quite similar, there doesn't seem to be much difference."
Suri casually remarked, pointing out a location in Talulah's field of vision:
"How about we arrange for Alina to sit next to you? That way it will be easier to communicate. Also, find Alina a pair of headphones, preferably the discreet kind, so I can communicate with her more easily."
Talulah nodded, leaving the matter to her maid, and then returned to her room with Suri, where she lay heavily on the soft bed.
Without taking off her clothes or washing up, Talulah, exhausted from several days of work, finally relaxed after returning to her "safe house" and closed her eyes to rest.
How about I play some lullabies for you?
Suri noticed that Talulah seemed to have trouble sleeping, so she casually played a soft melody in her mind and turned down the volume.
These meaningful but unclear sounds can be helpful for sleep, at least that's what Suri remembers.
Talulah quickly fell asleep to the music, without even covering herself with a blanket.
However, since Suri doesn't have a physical form, she naturally couldn't cover her with a blanket.
...Alina's headphones should be ready by now.
Through her scanning vision, Suri saw Alina, who had been arranged into a room by the maids, and was given some basic necessities, as well as the headphones Suri had requested.
The girl sat on the soft bed, somewhat incredulously adjusting to her situation. Suddenly, she had come from her dilapidated little house to this environment; it felt like a dream to Alina.
Alina's eyes were somewhat melancholy as she ran her fingers over the blanket that seemed smoother than her skin.
However, the girl didn't dwell on it for long; soon, Jiujiang's attention was drawn to the headphones.
Aside from everyday items that weren't particularly noteworthy, only the pair of headphones had some research value.
Alina opened the earphone case and found that they were wireless earphones, which could be easily removed and inserted into her ears.
The box seemed to have some other function; when Alina took the earphones out of the box, she saw a number light up on an electronic screen.
However, the girl didn't dwell on it for the time being. Instead, she put the earphones in her ears and waited for them to work.
Then she heard Su Rui's voice:
"You're quite clever; at least you know how to use headphones."
"Mr. Suri?"
Alina sounded surprised, but Suri didn't mind. Instead, she greeted her, "I've left your package on the bed."
As she spoke, Alina's package appeared on the bed. Feeling the weight beside her, Alina looked over, then picked up her package and stuffed it into the wardrobe.
Then, Suri explained the function of the earphones: "These earphones are divided into two parts, one for charging and one for use. You can..."
With Suri's explanation, Alina quickly understood the function of the earphones, put both earphones in her ears, and waited for Suri's instructions:
"So, Mr. Suri, what should I do next?"
Alina hadn't forgotten that she came here to work.
"Of course, there's something I need your help with right now."
Volume 2, Chapter 88: Alina: I'm hungry
As soon as Suri finished speaking, Alina blinked, and then, following Suri's instructions, pushed open her own door and went to the door of Talulah's room next door.
After returning to her room, Talulah did not lock the door. With her snake scales and inner guards ensuring her safety, no one would dare to make a move.
In some ways, Talulah is safer than the emperor of Ursus.
Following Suri's instructions, Alina gently pushed open Talulah's door and saw Talulah lying diagonally on the bed.
"She fell asleep too hastily, so we covered her with the blanket."
As Suri was speaking, Alina asked with some confusion:
"Should we straighten out Miss Talulah's position? And since she's covering the blanket, should I go find another blanket?"
“No need.” Suri stopped Alina’s actions: “Talulah is Drak. In any case, she won’t light up even if you don’t cover her with a blanket. Just fold the blanket that he’s covering over and cover Talulah with it.”
"……OK."
Alina nodded and responded softly, then carefully covered Talulah with the blanket.
Then, Suri's voice rang out again:
"Next, we'll move on to the psychological counseling. Now, place your hands on either side of Talulah's temples."
Alina did as instructed, and tried to move as quietly as possible so as not to wake Talulah.
In fact, Talulah had noticed Alina's subtle movements, but just as she was about to wake up alertly, she heard Suri's voice:
"Don't be nervous, this is normal psychological counseling. Talulah just needs to rest well."
Talulah's furrowed brows slowly relaxed, and she quietly drifted back into her reverie.
Alina also began her work under Suri's guidance.
"In short, think about some pleasant things and share these emotions with Talulah. They don't need to be too intense, otherwise they might have the opposite effect."
Simply put, Talulah saw too many negative things in the memories of the immortal black snake, so she needed to be shown something happy to balance it out.
