"Su Bai!"
An Ruoyun blinked, and the joy in her heart instantly materialized in her eyes.
"Your territory level hasn't been upgraded in a long time, has it? I'll help you since I have some free time during this period."
He opened his storage space and began selecting items suitable for An Ruoyun's territory.
“Take these ‘souls’ for now, and let me know if you need more.”
The moment An Ruoyun pressed "Transfer", she received a notification.
When she opened it, she saw countless zeros after the numbers, and even she, who was usually slow and deliberate, started to stammer as she spoke.
"This...this is too much, no...it doesn't need to be so expensive...so precious!"
"This is nothing. I've been away all this time, and it's you and everyone else who have helped me protect the rear, allowing me to focus on the battle. I should be the one thanking you."
Su Bai smiled and said gently, "Give it a try and see how much you can improve."
"good!"
An Ruoyun couldn't wait to use all her "souls" to upgrade, and her body instantly burst forth with a different kind of brilliance.
Her skin was already fair, and her long, flowing hair cascaded down her back, making her even more captivating with that radiance.
She looked as radiant as a goddess descending from the heavens, her beauty accentuated by the colorful glow of the sunset.
Su Bai was momentarily stunned.
An Ruoyun pursed her lower lip, nervously playing with her long hair in front of her chest, and secretly glanced at Su Bai with a hint of girlish shyness.
"What's wrong?"
"No...it's nothing."
Su Bai coughed twice, inwardly cursing his own incompetence.
The other party was his first and only subordinate lord.
They are the people who have always supported me.
After spending a long time together, on a grand scale, they are no different from family!
How could I have such filthy thoughts about someone!
How about you? How are you feeling?
To prevent the previous topic from continuing, he quickly changed the subject.
"How much has your level increased?"
"secret."
An Ruoyun winked mysteriously and put her index finger to her lips: "You'll find out later!"
"Then I'll be watching closely!"
Judging from her cheerful appearance, her level must have increased considerably.
Su Bai didn't ask any more questions and smiled, "Your territory level needs to catch up quickly. Take care of your own territory these days. Let me know if you need anything!"
"good!"
An Ruoyun nodded emphatically, her gaze returning to Su Bai's face.
"What's wrong? Is there anything else?"
Noticing that she was still standing there, Su Bai asked instinctively.
An Ruoyun quickly shook her head, "No, it's nothing."
"It's...that one..."
Her fair and clean hands gripped the hem of her skirt in a tangled manner, and An Ruoyun looked at him with shy and timid eyes.
After what seemed like a long period of mental preparation, she finally made up her mind under Su Bai's questioning gaze.
"Su Bai".
She called his name softly, and before Su Bai could answer, An Ruoyun immediately stood on tiptoe and quickly kissed him on the cheek.
"Thanks!"
After saying that, she immediately disappeared in a flash.
Su Bai was left standing there, dumbfounded.
"Ah...ah!?"
He reached out and touched the spot where An Ruoyun had just kissed him, while pinching himself hard with his other hand.
If it weren't for the lingering sweet scent of An Ruoyun in the air, he would have thought that what had just happened hadn't occurred.
The moment An Ruoyun approached, a sweet scent filled her nostrils, and her soft body was only an inch away from Su Bai's.
The soft, long hair brushed against his cheek, just like the feeling in his heart right now—itchy.
Just then.
"Knock knock!"
Two deafening knocks suddenly rang out. "I'm coming in."
Before Su Bai could even process what was happening, he quickly straightened up and asked, "Kerrigan, what's wrong?"
"When Vice Lord An went out just now, his face was flushed. I thought you two had a fight..."
She casually brought up An Ruoyun's matter, her beautiful eyes glancing at him discreetly.
Thinking of the kiss on his cheek just now, Su Bai coughed and quickly laughed it off.
"They didn't argue. Maybe she was just too happy because her lord level rose so quickly."
"Hmm...is that so?"
Kerrigan drew out the last syllable, and the air around her suddenly felt heavy.
"By the way, is there something you need?"
Her aura was already strong, and Su Bai couldn't stand the atmosphere of her silence, so he braced himself and took the initiative to steer the conversation back on track.
Kerrigan snorted and let him off the hook on the matter.
"I've leveled up. My level has now reached 59."
Kerrigan's long hair seemed to have a mind of its own, twirling gracefully in the air after she finished speaking.
It's like saying, "Praise me!"
Kerrigan's expression, however, remained as arrogant and aloof as ever, making it difficult to associate her with those three words.
Knowing that she disliked nonsense, Su Bai's reply was as brief and concise as possible.
"Congratulations!"
Suddenly, Su Bai froze, as if he were being stared at by Medusa.
Kerrigan stared at him for a long time, then frowned slightly. "That's it?"
Her long hair seemed rather disappointed, hanging listlessly behind her head.
"..."
Su Bai remained silent for a while before tentatively speaking, "That's amazing! Kerrigan, you're the most powerful hero in our territory! You've leveled up so much in such a short time! You truly deserve it!"
Whether it was his imagination or not, Kerrigan's lips curled up slightly after hearing those words.
It's hard to imagine that when Su Bai saw her now, the first word that flashed through his mind was "charming".
He instinctively shivered.
If Kerrigan knew this word, the entire Zerg territory would probably be turned upside down.
"Thank you, lord."
Despite appearing overjoyed, Kerrigan maintained her usual earnest and polite demeanor.
However, her long, spiky hair started flying again, completely betraying her thoughts.
For some reason, Su Bai was reminded of cats and dogs, which wag their tails and run around when they are happy.
If others heard this idea, they would definitely think that people with strange ideas have abnormal thought processes.
How could anyone compare the fearsome Queen of Blades to cats and dogs? Are they crazy?!
"Then please continue with your work, my lord. I won't disturb you any longer."
Having seemingly achieved some goal, Kerrigan happily got up and left.
This left him somewhat puzzled.
Did she come all this way just to tell me she leveled up?
But reporting things promptly is indeed part of her job.
"Forget it, I'll just keep upgrading."
Su Bai didn't spend too much energy on this matter; he brought up the upgrade panel again.
After a brief moment of thought, I poured all my "soul" into it.
"That should solve everything!"
