Chapter 399 Return Gifts and Secret Societies (1 Million Words!)



The fact that no one was reminded about who kept the IOU seems a bit off.

Gu Xinghe simply tilted his head, pretending to think for a moment.

He took out the candy that he had previously paid as "protection money" from his storage space.

"Can I use this to pay off my debt?"

"Of course—that won't do. Consider this interest!"

Carol happily accepted the candy Gu Xinghe offered, stuck out her tongue at him, and then "righteously" refused him.

Then, while leading the still-unresponsive Rekaya away, she shouted that she was going to tell Sylph.

Despite knowing that her actions had caused Sylph to have a surge in workload.

But Gu Xinghe is not intimidated at all by Sylph's impending arrival.

And the specific manifestation of this "not backing down" is—

Gu Xinghe chose to leave a small note in the same spot where he was standing as a response to Sylph's "Easter egg".

He then weighed down the note that was now on the ground with a small bag of candy, leaving it for Sylph, who was on her way, to find.

Then, he leisurely left Dawn Boarding School with Sylph's handmade cookies.

Clearly, this was by no means an emergency evacuation.

Gu Xinghe simply followed the schedule and headed to the next branch of the "company" for a routine work inspection.

Of course he wouldn't back down; he was just busy with work.

Before proceeding to the next task.

Gu Xinghe first used the game system's spatial teleportation to take the cookies made by Sylph.

He returned to his room in the Rose Manor.

He savored Sylph's cooking, enjoying the black tea brewed by Eiffel.

Judging from Sylph's culinary skills, which she previously demonstrated at the cat café and the Rose Estate—

On the surface, she appears to be Carol and Rekaya's older sister.

But in the actual process of getting along, Sylph was more like the "mother" of the two of them.

Her cooking skills, which are so poor they're only good for feeding fish, are indeed from the same source as Carol's and Rekaya's.

But the taste of the cookies Gu Xinghe was talking about now was clearly much better than before.

This must be because Sylph has practiced a lot.

No wonder Carol and Rekaya were so fond of the cookies earlier.

Because this might be one of the few edible, homey flavors that Sylph showed them.

At this moment, Gu Xinghe chuckled as he conjured up an amusing image—

Because the home-style cooking of "Mom" Sylph tasted so uniquely homey.

Therefore, Carol and Rekaya had no choice but to eat at the school cafeteria every day.

Meanwhile, Gu Xinghe was enjoying cookies made by Sylph as afternoon tea in his room.

Shortly after Gu Xinghe left, Sylph arrived quickly after being notified by Carol and Rekaya.

They also found the candy and note left by Gu Xinghe where the three of them had just been standing.

Seeing this, and noticing the somewhat similar pattern, Sylph raised an eyebrow.

Then, he gently tapped the heads of Carol and Rekaya with his index finger knuckles, who were trying to take a few candies from her hand.

Because she knew that, just as she had prepared two extra portions for the two children when she made cookies for Gu Xinghe.

When Gu Xinghe gave out the candy, it's impossible that he didn't prepare gifts for Carol and Rekaya.

Therefore, judging from the packaging and the shape of the candy itself.

Sylph realized that she had obviously received candy made by Gu Xinghe himself.

She even wondered if the candy made by Gu Xinghe had a permanent shelf life.

If she makes a wish, will it continue to exist because of a "miracle"?

But then, Sylph put the candy aside for the time being and chose to read the note left by Gu Xinghe.

This time, when Carol and Rekaya crowded around her to see the contents of the note left by Gu Xinghe...

This time, Sylph did not refuse.

What she found was similar to what she had left for Gu Xinghe before.

The note he left behind also featured cartoon figures in a similar style.

Unlike the only cartoon character that Sylph left behind, which looked puffed up in anger.

Gu Xinghe drew cartoon figures eating, drinking, and reading.

It's clear that Gu Xinghe believes his paintings depict his appearance during his hard work.

The two scenes are: after he finished setting up the church, he had dinner with Teresa.

Go to the Tavern of Misfortune to observe the development there, and in the Divine Kingdom space, carefully crack the "protective shield" in the "Library".

This was to comfort Sylph, who was also "working hard" while she was busy.

But clearly, Sylph, who only saw Gu Xinghe wandering around, was not comforted at all.

While she was saying fiercely, "I'll definitely teach Gu Xinghe a lesson next time,"

But his hands were almost impatient, breaking his earlier "oath".

He popped a candy from the bag into his mouth and tasted it.

At this moment, Gu Xinghe was indeed working hard in his own mind.

While leisurely enjoying afternoon tea, a "screen" also materializes.

Through contact with Field, they observed the situation at St. George's University, where the Galaxy Group's branch, Field, is located.

Although most of the faculty and students at St. George's University were unaware of the confrontation between Gu Xinghe, the game system, and the Goddess of Thorns that night.
