Chapter 281: Evil God XP Assessment, Unsuccessful
It was actually Elise who had this kind of influence.
Well, to be honest, among the four main girls, only Yuki is tall and has a nice figure; the others are opposites in those two aspects.
The Demon King is the tallest yet the flattest, Emilia is average in height and figure, and Elise is the shortest but definitely the most curvy.
Wait, why did I suddenly think of this?
Rin’s head felt heavy again, and he fell into a daze once more. Everything that had happened felt like a deep dream, and when he woke up, it all shattered, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t remember.
"Little Rin, don’t move around! I’m just about to cook!"
A shy, playful voice sounded, and Rin immediately woke up. He looked at a splash of pink in front of him, and his hand moved unconsciously again.
"I said not to move! If you really have to, can it wait just a little…?"
"!"
Rin couldn’t help but take a step back, hurriedly hiding his hand behind him, already realizing what he had just grabbed.
The person in front of him was Elise, with rosy cheeks and big, watery eyes looking at him.
Why is Elise here?
Wait, what were we supposed to say and do before?
Rin couldn’t understand how he became so confused, like he had just gotten out of bed and his mind was still fuzzy.
He couldn’t remember what happened before, and his mind was resisting recalling more.
"Oh no, is Little Rin angry? I just wanted to make you something tasty, not to refuse you. Please don’t be mad, I can do it right now."
The silly elk said pitifully and then stepped forward to take Rin’s hand, placing it on the half-moon.
Rin finally noticed that this guy was wearing an apron.
Wait a minute, it looks like he only has an apron on, nothing else!
Rin quickly looked around, his breath paused, his throat moved up and down, and he forgot to pull back his hand, even pushing her against the wall.
"What… what is this operation? Silly elk, what nonsense are you paying attention to?!"
Elise pouted and lifted her apron, "This is what my sister taught me. She also said you would definitely like it!"
"I… I… you…"
Rin, who was already immune to Holy Light, turned red when he saw what was behind the Holy Light. The fire element erupted, and he immediately wanted to practice the Heguang magic deeply and simply.
But when he thought of Eve, his anger suddenly overshadowed everything else. He said fiercely, "That guy is just talking nonsense! Silly deer, don’t believe everything your sister says!"
"But my sister is really, really nice!"
"Nice my foot! You don’t know the bad things she did while I was passed out!"
Rin blurted it out, then suddenly realized it was wrong and quickly closed his mouth.
The silly elk stared at him in surprise, her lips moving as if she could not speak. After a moment, she showed a kind smile that looked like an angel’s.
"It’s okay, as long as Little Rin likes it, it doesn’t matter if it’s with his sister."
"It does matter! I don’t like her!"
"Why not? Doesn’t Little Rin really like older girls?" Elise said, blinking in confusion.
Rin was a bit puzzled, a line forming on his forehead, "What are you talking about??"
"But Little Rin is so close to Sister Yuki, isn’t he? It must be that he likes his sister, right?"
"No!" Rin turned his head away in annoyance. "If you keep saying silly things, I will get angry! Didn’t you say you would cook? Why aren’t you going?"
Saying this, he stretched out his arm and pointed to the kitchen stove. Just as he glanced at the modern, integrated kitchen, he felt that something was off.
But his brain was especially slow today, and he couldn’t figure out what was wrong.
The silly elk grabbed his arm and laughed, "Of course, Little Rin must love hearing Sister Yuki call, ‘Brother, brother…’ and then hug you while patting your head, right?"
Rin was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, frustratedly reaching to grab Elise’s ahoge hair, just like usual.
But his fingers… caught nothing.
Where’s the ahoge hair?!
Rin’s eyes widened as he stared at the silly elk’s pink head, and he indeed noticed that the most important part was missing.
It felt like a bucket of cold water poured over him, and he suddenly came to his senses.
The fire element quieted down immediately, and Rin took two steps back, looking very alert.
"You’re not the silly elk, who are you?"
Elise, still trying to understand, spoke a bit sadly, "Why is Little Rin like this? Stop messing around, fine… fine, we won’t cook for now, let’s just study together with Little Rin first."
Saying this, she took off her apron, tossed it aside, and was about to leap into Rin’s arms.
Rin quickly stepped back but stumbled and fell to the ground, seeing stars for a moment.
His chaotic thoughts were cleared away again, leaving him with a blank mind.
"Brother, are you okay? How did you fall?"
A worried voice came, along with a gentle touch on his head.
Rin raised his head in confusion and saw Yuki crouched by the bed, reaching out to touch his head, her eyes filled with fondness and concern.
"A little touch will make it hurt less, sweetie."
Rin felt a warm, comforting sensation running from his head to the softest part of his heart; it was nice but a bit ticklish.
He stared at Yuki for a while, then quickly shook his head.
"Who… who told you to treat me like a child? It’s so confusing!"
Saying this, he tried to swat Yuki’s hand away, but when he raised his arm, he hesitated, so he just pretended to be impatient and looked around.
"How did I fall off the bed! And why are you here?"
Yuki’s hand glided over her head, gently touching Rin’s face.
"Because today, I want to sleep with my little brother."
"Tsk, you’re a few years older than me, and you’re scared to sleep alone? Sigh, I guess I have to show some kindness."
Rin stood up from the floor, sat on the edge of the bed, and couldn’t help but reach up to touch his head again.
That remaining feeling of comfort still lingers.
"You’re so nice, do you need me to take care of you before bed?"
"Hey, silly Sword Saint, don’t use words you don’t understand. That’s something only a fool would say."
"Everything I have belongs to my brother; persuading someone is not wrong."
A rustling sound came from behind. Rin turned his head to look, and his heart raced. He swallowed and began to cough.
The poor Sword Saint really was poor; he didn’t even have proper clothes, just a few strips of fabric barely covering him. Not only that, but he had dog ears and a tail, and there was a collar around his neck.
That outfit is so strange.
It even has a strangely familiar feeling, as if I’ve seen cat ears and a tail somewhere before.
"Hiss… Why are you wearing all this silly stuff, sister?"
Yuki tugged at the ill-fitting fabric on her chest and nervously asked, "Brother… do you not like it?"
"Cough, cough, well… I like it a little bit."
"That’s great, as long as my brother likes it."
Yuki’s eyes sparkled with joy, lying down like a little puppy and wagging her tail.
"Hey, hey, don’t really start barking!"
Rin’s breath quickened, and he hurried to help Yuki sit up.
But Sword Saint liked his look now, and playfully knocked Rin down, smiling and saying, "It’s okay, even if I have to be your dog, I really don’t mind, woof woof."
"!"
At this moment, Rin completely lost control, and his special magic device switched to attack mode with his emotions.
Yuki paused, her face suddenly flushed with color, and the stars in her red eyes spun wildly, almost turning into a whirlpool.
"Little… Little Rin, should we practice speaking first?"
Rin’s ears were also bright red, and he quickly shook his head vigorously.
(This sentence appears to be gibberish and cannot be translated directly.)
Seeing this, Yuki relaxed a bit and said calmly, "It’s alright; helping my brother with his language lessons is something a sister should do."
"That’s not something a sister should do! Even if you say that… I…"
Rin wanted to resist a little more, but he had already been caught in a trap, and he swallowed his remaining words.
Yuki looked up and smiled at him, "I am the only sister you have, so I should do everything for you, whether it is improving your spoken language, tutoring before exams, or doing science experiments."
Rin instinctively said, "It’s not that there’s only one sister; Lin Wuyue, for example…"
"Wah, brother, my brother, you finally remembered me!"
The voice of the Sword Saint changed, revealing another familiar girl’s voice.
Rin watched in shock as Yuki in front of him transformed into Lin Wuyue, feeling as if he could hardly breathe.
Especially since Lin Wuyue was holding a magic device, which made Rin’s heart stop for a moment and his mind spin.
Then, it was as if a switch in his head had been flipped, releasing all those fuzzy memories with a strong impact.
"Brother!"
The Lin Wuyue in front of him had a mischievous smile and pressed the magic device right against her face.
"Get lost! Just go away!"
His emotions were at the breaking point, and Rin raised his foot to kick her down.
Just then, everything around him faded away, leaving only dim blue light.
His awareness suddenly became crystal clear, feeling like waking up suddenly after falling in a dream.
"Just now was…"
Rin rubbed his head and immediately realized that everything before was just an illusion.
No wonder in the illusion, every time the scene changed, he couldn’t remember what happened before and always felt like he was in a dream.
Those frightful things were just tests.
Whether it was Waste Hero, the fox, the silly elk, the poor Sword Saint, or even Lin Wuyue, they were all just illusions.
Rin felt a tiny bit sadness, but mostly relief.
Luckily, Lin Wuyue appeared and startled him awake; otherwise, he might not have come out at all…
This trial is too tricky.
Normally, shouldn’t they first tell you what it is and then make you resist with all your might?
They came up without saying anything and pulled him straight into the dream world. Who can resist that? Who can even realize it?
It’s like walking through a market, and someone gives you some food. You think it’s a free sample, but after one bite, they ask you for money.
This is so unfair! Is it targeting me?
"Congratulations, you have passed all the trials."
The blue words in front of him slowly faded away, and the dim light brightened. Rin looked around with an unhappy face.
The room is about fifty square meters, and the ceiling is very high. The ceiling and walls are made of square stone bricks.
At the entrance of the hallway, Waste Hero also walked in and, seeing Rin safe and sound, breathed a sigh of relief.
Rin carefully observed the stone bricks; they were carved with square spiral patterns and the blue material reflected light, nothing special.
In the center, there is a stone tablet. When you get closer, you can see that it has a large section of symbols carved on it, the same strange symbols he saw before.
Also, those earlier things appeared in this passage too.
Rin guessed that this should be a type of writing, just different from the language used in the current world.
He was quite curious about what these symbols really meant, so he simply took out his notebook and copied them down.
After that, the only thing worth noting in the room was a platform in the center with clear closed patterns.
Rin and Emilia walked on top of it, and a flash of blue light surrounded them, then the closing opening opened up.
The two fell down directly, but didn’t sink much as buoyancy held them up.
It turned out they entered the sea of clouds once again.
Looking around, everything was dark a few meters away, with only the center being bright with misty clouds.
Below, there were various plants that could only be seen in the sea of clouds, and patches of connected coral gems that glowed gently.
And at the very center, there was a giant blue, translucent tree.
The tree was as shiny as crystal, looking like a piece of art, but the crystal leaves that fell to the ground showed that it was indeed a living tree.
Nine Wu Ridge produced Dajiuling wine.
The crystal tree had a unique shape, with its trunk bending in the middle, like a person curled up.
In the hollow curved space, blue beams of light crisscrossed like a spider’s web, forming patterns.
When Rin swam closer, he saw that at the center of the pattern floated a blue crystal the size of a longan, shaped like a diamond.
"Is this the Soul Crystal of Leviathan? It’s so small."
Rin reached out to take the Soul Crystal, but the moment he touched it, bright light burst forth and then spread out like delicate ribbons.
The crystal felt icy in his hand, with a few golden threads darting around, making it look truly special.
At that moment, the scattered light came back around and covered the two people.
Rin only felt something lift his body, and when his vision returned, he found that they were back in the cave where they started.
Looking at the Soul Crystal again, Rin reached to put it into the Interspatial Ring, but it just wouldn’t fit.
This left him in a bit of a dilemma.
It’s all the fault of how convenient space storage is. He had given the bag he used for the dragon egg to Elise and then forgot to prepare another one.
All he had left were a money pouch for coins and a food packaging bag.
But the problem is, what if he lost it in his pocket or someone stole it? How would he explain it to Suyu?
This thing is worth so much more than a dragon egg.
Hmm? Dragon egg… it seems like the waste hero in the original book had one?
Rin suddenly turned his head to look at Waste Hero and handed her the crystal.
"Your inventory, let’s see if it can hold this."
Waste Hero took the crystal without saying a word, and in the next moment, the crystal disappeared from her hand.
It really went in!
See, I told you, the hero’s inventory really is a big glitch.
