Chapter 162: I'm Just Borrowing My Brother-in-Law for a Moment! I'll Return Him as Soon as I'm Done!
Suyu opened a portal and returned to her own small room.
This was her exclusive little room behind the magic card shop, in fact, the entire row had different types of books neatly arranged.
In the center of it all, the main room mainly housed her personal favorite books. Recently, there were a few romance novels added here, both sweet and heartbreaking.
Behind the bookstore is her bedroom. She used to take a nap there whenever she felt tired from reading. It was a rare and comfortable pleasure.
However, she found that sleeping on her younger brother's bed was the most comfortable.
There she could completely relax, without any worries, especially after falling asleep in each other's arms last night... That feeling still gave her a tingling sensation up to now.
She still couldn't come back to her senses until now, she was already addicted.
Sitting on a chair, chin resting on her hand, she gazed at the cover of a book on the table and gradually got lost in it, even forgetting a stack of reports from various territories of the Magic Shell Continent that needed to be dealt with.
After a while, she let out a chuckle, then unconsciously looked around. It dawned on her that she was alone in the room, so she touched her cheek.
"It's still early, I'll deal with the reports later. Let me read for a while to calm my mind."
The fox thought that if she kept thinking about her younger brother like that, she would not be able to resist going to find him. It would become a terrifyingly irresistible habit.
To force herself to shift her focus, she tied her hair back, put on glasses, and opened the biography of the world's top puppeteer in front of her.
The story is about the resurrection of Leviathan, a powerful being who used to be one of the top generals under the command of Suyu's mother and also one of the four great kings. Suyu was very concerned about it.
Leviathan, who is not very old, used to help the demon clan resist the attacks from the human alliance. However, during the battle of Eden, Leviathan, who was hiding at the back, was suddenly ambushed and killed by the former Sword Saint and the chief assassin of the humans.
Suyu has always suspected that Leviathan was betrayed by someone in the demon clan. The prime suspect is the former one of the four great kings, the top warrior of the demon clan, and the current Demon King, Samuel.
Fortunately, the Leviathan race is very unique. Only one is born each generation, and after death, their wisdom and memories are passed down. Since the previous Leviathan didn't have offspring, their memories were stored in a soul crystal, now located at the birthplace of the original Leviathan.
Suyu wanted to revive Leviathan, but she needed a suitable body. After conducting various investigations, she targeted the last masterpiece of Chonghe, known as the greatest puppet master ever, for this purpose.
This puppet, with a striking resemblance to a human, is a typical puppet-type, but also a frightening war machine.
The problem is, this weapon had been operational for a while and once caused a terrible massacre due to a malfunction. This made Chonghe feel guilty, so instead of destroying it, he sealed it away. After that incident, the young and famous puppet master vanished without a trace, reportedly dying in despair.
Chonghe had raised many children, training them to become excellent puppet masters or alchemists. It is said that only one of his disciples knows the location where the puppet is sealed, who happens to be Wick's uncle and who raised him since he was a child.
So, to find the puppet in the end, they had to focus their efforts on Wick.
Thanks to her younger schoolmate, she has now obtained a special power core, and as long as she acquires the puppet, the resurrection of Leviathan is on the horizon.
Her younger schoolmate is truly her lucky star.
Thinking about this, Suyu was eager to see Rin again, imagining moments spent together, wishing she could be with him now to tease him playfully.
It's like when you like someone and send them a message, waiting anxiously for their reply, and constantly checking your phone to see when they will respond.
"Oh no, it's broken."
She touched her forehead, trying to distract herself from thinking about a certain fool, when she suddenly noticed a corner of the wide table, feeling puzzled.
She had been sitting here for so long, yet she hadn't noticed a piece of paper on the table.
After picking up the paper, she realized it was from her pen pal.
"Xiaoyu Xiaoyu, I need to tell you something, sigh, I can only tell you, I can't believe I'm such a shameless bad woman."
It's like this, remember I told you about my soon-to-be brother-in-law last time? He's really cute and sweet, and then... I couldn't resist it and one time when no one was around, I secretly kissed him, and even... did other things with him, and afterwards he didn't know it was me.
Later on, I felt so regretful because my sister is the person I love the most, and I can't believe I did such a terrible thing to someone she likes, and... ever since then, I think about it every day.
Oh no, I feel like I'm doomed, do you know the feeling of relying on my brother-in-law every night to comfort myself? I never thought I'd become such a dirty and shameful person one day.
But, I just can't help it, today I've asked my sister to invite him over again, but looking at how cute and kind and innocent my sister is, and how perfect she and her husband are together, I... really can't make up my mind.
This is the most conflicted I've ever been in my life, it's so tormenting!"
Suyu chuckled lightly, with a hint of disdain in her smile.
These troubles, perhaps only humans would have them, right? Abiding by those self-deceiving rules, feeling regret while still unable to resist desire, and doing dirty things.
Or maybe our demon race is better, we never care about those things, we just take what we want.
Thinking about this, a wicked grin appeared on Suyu's lips, as she began to reply.
"Be brave and just go for it. It's better to regret doing something than regret not doing it. You have experience in love, so you should know how to win over a man, right?
If you don't want to compete, it's okay to borrow a little help, right?
What's wrong with you, little sister? Is there a conflict between caring for you and wanting to borrow your husband?
I believe your sister will forgive you once she finds out."
Suyu, a master of tea art, naturally excels in teaching and guiding.
...
At this moment, Eve, after Rin fed her a sip, felt her body go weak, feeling dizzy and about to float away.
Reflecting on the "encouragement" received from her good friend during the day, she secretly made up her mind and stole a glance at her little sister.
My dearest little sister, big sister will definitely help you win over Little Rin, but... I hope you can also fulfill big sister's wish. I'm just borrowing, I absolutely won't ruin your relationship.
The Queen rested after sitting for dinner, and Eve served the drinks she had prepared.
The drink smelled sweet like fruit juice, but it was actually strong fruit wine.
She handed two cups to Rin and said, "Little Rin, thank you for taking care of my sister. We don't need to be so formal. Drinking it in one gulp is a sign of manliness."
