You said you would be the reborn empress, why did you become my bootlicker?

At dinner time.

A ‘family’, full of joy.

Shangguan Ru was in high spirits.

Because her theory had been brought back to the imperial capital by Zhang Zheng, an expert seminar would be held soon, and a preliminary pilot experiment of ‘small, precise, and cutting-edge’ would be conducted in the military.

Shangguan Meng smiled sweetly.

Because the Abyss Crystal brought back by Xiao Yuan really stopped the loss of her vitality, so that she didn’t have to leave quietly.

At the same time, her sister realized her life wish, and she was happy because of her joy.

Su Yuan smiled brightly.

He condensed his fighting spirit and helped Sister Ru to confirm her theory.

He brought back the Abyss Crystal and helped Xiao Meng stabilize the sequelae.

He proved his worth, making Aunt Xu respected, and various governments, units, and organizations treated her with courtesy.

He himself was breaking through to the 4th level, striving to become stronger, just like now, he could rely on his own strength to protect the people he cared about.

Xu Qingling smiled gently.

After spending this period of time together, she has already accepted Shangguan Ru and Shangguan Meng.

She is also proud of Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan's growth.

......

Everyone has a bright future.

Except——

Xu Anyan is staring at the bowl in front of Su Yuan.

Take it.

Or not.

This is a problem.

The time limit of the task is only 24 hours. Once it exceeds, the task will disappear.

And completing the task can get a designated resource suitable for the current stage... That is a designated resource!

In other words, you can ask the system for what you need!

But the problem is.

Now everyone is eating.

Would it be too weird for me to do this?

Shangguan Ru is fine.

Mom is fine too.

As for Shangguan Meng——

Will she misunderstand something?

Listen to me.

Don't get me wrong.

He and I are not what you think.

I actually want to bring you two together.

So that I can have a stable daily resource reward.

As for Su Yuan... he shouldn't have misunderstood, he would just be confused.

So embarrassing.

But even more embarrassing... will it be embarrassing when there is a martial arts exam?

There must be at least 5,000 spectators by then, but there are only a few now, well, just treat it as a rehearsal.

Believe in yourself, it's okay, what can a little wind and frost do to me?

Su Yuan had just finished the last bite of rice in his bowl.

Xu Anyan suddenly stood up.

Shangguan Ru:?

Shangguan Meng:?

Xu Qingling:?

Su Yuan:?

Xu Anyan sat down again.

Although everyone was puzzled, they began to talk and laugh happily again.

Su Yuan was about to get up to get a bowl of rice.

Xu Anyan stood up again.

Shangguan Ru:?

Shangguan Meng:?

Xu Qingling:?

Su Yuan:?

This time she really gave it her all.

She gritted her teeth, faced everyone's confused eyes, came to Su Yuan, took his bowl, turned around and cooked a bowl of rice in the rice cooker next to her.

Shangguan Ru:?

Shangguan Meng:.

Xu Qingling:? ?

Su Yuan:? ? ? ? ?

Xu Anyan finished cooking.

Came to Su Yuan and pushed the rice in front of him.

"You sit down and eat well, I'll do it."

After saying that.

She sat back in her seat as if no one was around, and buried her head in eating.

Shangguan Ru: (sneaky glance at Shangguan Meng, not daring to speak.jpg)

Shangguan Meng: (blinked gently, as if thinking)

Xu Qingling: (Mom has seen the world, but this still shocked me for five hundred years)

Su Yuan: (black question mark face.jpg)

At this time, silence is better than words.

After a while, Xu Anyan put down the bowl and chopsticks.

She stood up, as if nothing had happened.

"I'm full, you guys continue."

After saying that.

She fled in a 'calm', 'comfortable' and 'elegant' manner.

When Xu Anyan's figure disappeared around the corner.

"......"

Su Yuan looked at the rice bowl in front of him, thinking.

Should I eat this rice or not?

"......"

Shangguan Ru didn't dare to breathe, secretly glanced at her elder sister, and then looked at the place where Xu Anyan disappeared.

This girl...

Is this a provocation?

Yong, too brave!

I respect you as a man!

"......"

Xu Qingling didn't understand what happened yet.

She was undoubtedly the one who knew Xu Anyan's character best among all the people present.

So the shock that Xu Anyan's behavior just now brought to her... was the strongest.

Xiaoyan...

Why did she suddenly do this to Xiaoyuan?

"......"

A trace of curiosity flashed in Shangguan Meng's eyes.

She suddenly raised her head, looking at Xu Qingling innocently:

"Aunt Xu, does Sister Anyan like Brother Su Yuan?"

Shangguan Ru: 6.

Su Yuan:! ?

Xu Qingling didn't know how to answer for a moment.

If it was before, she had never thought about this question.

But now, she was confused.

"This, this, this..."

......

In the room.

"Calm down, calm down."

Xu Anyan washed her face with cold water.

"It's just a small rehearsal..."

"Hu——"

"Sniff——"

"Hu——"

"Sniff——"

Finally.

She calmed down.

Anyway, the task has been completed and the resource rewards have been obtained.

As for other things...she believes that it won't be a big problem.

【Ding! Congratulations on completing the 'licking dog task'! Obtain 1 designated resource applicable to the current stage! 】

"I want the Shadow Silence Fruit!"

Xu Anyan did not hesitate.

This is why she is willing to risk it all, and why she is so embarrassed.

The biggest foundation she can rely on now is actually her own talent.

This Shadow Fruit is an upgraded version of the Ghost Fruit, which has a strong enhancement effect on her talent.

[Ding! Get a 'Shadow Fruit'! ]

As a mysterious and strange fruit covered with black lines appeared in the palm of her hand.

Xu Anyan's eyes became more determined.

Worth it.

Everything is worth it.

"The sea is fleeting, the stars are changing, time will erase everything... Nothing will accompany you for a lifetime."

She silently said in her heart, this is already her creed, giving her strength to make that move tonight.

At the same time, it also allows her to face the 'dog licking adventure' in the martial arts exam in the near future with a normal heart.

Yes.

She can do it.

She summoned the Shadow Servant, swallowed the 'Shadow Fruit', and began to digest it continuously.

......

After Xu Anyan left.

The atmosphere of the dinner suddenly became subtle.

Except for Shangguan Ru, who was not involved.

Whether it was Su Yuan, Shangguan Meng, or Xu Qingling, they all fell into their own contemplation because of Xu Anyan's actions.

But after dinner.

The only person who was not involved was arrested by Shangguan Meng and taken to the room.

Shangguan Meng sat cross-legged on the bed, tilted his head slightly, and said softly to Shangguan Ru, who was at a loss:

"Xiao Ru."

"Help me analyze her psychology."

"She——"

"Why do you do this?"

......

ps:

After today and tomorrow, it will really be four updates in half a month!

However...if I can get into the top 5 of the gift list in these two days, I will update five times on May Day!

Of course, it should be impossible, so I will probably take a rest on May Day, hahahaha
