Su Hui's silence, in Merlin's eyes, transformed into an invisible yet immense pressure.
Countless thoughts flashed through her mind in an instant, finally settling on a face that always wore a playful smile.
Bayonetta!
It must be that woman! She loves seeing me make a fool of myself!
“Beyuneta said it, didn’t she?!”
"Damn it! It must be that big-breasted woman!!"
Merlin seemed to have found an outlet for his anger, and suddenly said in a huff, his voice even carrying a hint of aggrieved nasal tone.
"I knew it! That old witch loves seeing me make a fool of myself! Where is she? Tell her to come out, I want to confront her face to face!"
"She left the safe zone before you arrived. We don't know where she is right now."
Su Hui looked at Merlin's reaction and replied calmly, finding the situation increasingly interesting.
What was originally just a trial run based on the system scan results seems to have yielded an unexpected surprise.
"what?!"
Merlin was taken aback, and then a hint of suspicion flashed in his blood-red eyes.
Bayonetta isn't here?
Doing something wrong = feeling guilty = running away!
"It really was her!"
Upon hearing this answer, Merlin felt as if he had finally received confirmation, and became even more convinced that Bayonetta had betrayed him.
She stole a glance at Su Hui and saw the ambiguous smile on his face, which completely shattered her last shred of hope.
It must have been Bayonetta who spilled all her secrets and then ran away!
under
The expression on her face changed visibly from vigilance and indignation to a dejected look of utter despair.
Then, under Su Hui's somewhat surprised gaze...
Her petite body slumped backward, and with a "thud," she collapsed onto the soft sofa, completely lacking any decorum.
The standard Ge You slouch.
Her legs, clad in delicate white lace stockings, were raised and swayed erratically in the air.
The blood-red eyes that had previously sparkled with panic and liveliness had now become lifeless, dead fish eyes, staring blankly at the ceiling.
"Ugh……"
She let out an extremely languid groan, the sound drawn out and carrying a strong sense of a recluse.
"Since we've been seen through, let's just leave it at that... I'm so tired..."
In just one minute, her entire demeanor shifted dramatically from that of a holy demigod to that of a completely lazy, slacker girl.
Su Hui: "..."
The stark contrast between before and after made Su Hui feel uncomfortable.
He looked at Merlin, who was sprawled on the sofa, swinging his two white-stockinged legs, his face clearly saying "I don't want to work hard anymore."
A strange thought even popped into my head.
Is she just one step away from lying around until the end of the universe, with a bag of potato chips in her left hand and a bottle of soda in her right?
Su Hui's lips almost twitched.
Fortunately, he had a strong mental fortitude and quickly recovered.
His eyes scanned the "demigod" who had completely given up, and a barely perceptible smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Compared to that mysterious, elegant, and unpredictable demigod mage, this defenseless, completely lazy, and useless girl in front of her seems... easier to deal with.
at least,
She's much more sensible than Bayonetta, who's always scheming.
Since the other party has taken the initiative to lower their guard, why not be more assertive and completely take control of the rest of the discussion?
Once the thought arose, Su Hui no longer hesitated.
Su Hui took a step and slowly walked towards the sofa.
His tall figure approached step by step, finally stopping in front of Merlin.
A thick shadow completely enveloped her petite body.
Merlin, who was swinging his legs, seemed to sense something and paused.
She subconsciously raised her dead fish eyes and looked at Su Hui, who was standing in front of the sofa, looking down at her.
"Um... let's talk this out..."
She felt the undisguised aggression in those dark eyes, and her body unconsciously shrank back into the sofa.
Su Hui bent down, placed his hands on the back of the sofa, and completely enveloped her in his arms and shadow.
He leaned closer to her delicate face, and could almost smell the faint floral fragrance emanating from her.
His expression was clearly one of smiling, and his tone was so gentle it sounded like he was discussing something.
"Sir Merlin."
"Since you're not going to pretend anymore."
"Shouldn't we have a serious talk?"
His gentle tone, coupled with his imposing posture and those all-seeing eyes, made Merlin feel like a chick being watched by an eagle.
His face was smiling, and his tone was gentle, but his eyes revealed an undeniable forcefulness.
This sight startled Merlin, who instinctively shrank back, her petite frame appearing even more helpless against the large sofa.
"I...I'm telling you! Don't even think about bullying me!"
But he still clung to his last shred of dignity, puffing out his chest which barely rose and fell, and protested in a low voice, his tone fierce but his voice weak.
"I...I'm really amazing!"
95. Merlin is so cute! [5.2k]
"I...I'm really amazing!"
Merlin's cutesy yet fierce shouts echoed in the quiet living room, but they had no deterrent effect whatsoever.
Her blood-red pupils, which should have been as deep as the starry sky, were now slightly constricted due to tension, like a frightened kitten, its fur standing on end in a show of ferocity.
Looking at her desperately puffing out her small chest in an attempt to bluff, Su Hui could no longer suppress the smile on his lips; he almost burst out laughing.
A demigod mage who appears mysterious and elegant in front of outsiders is actually a cowardly and easily bullied pushover in private.
This stark contrast is truly fascinating.
However, Su Hui's vigilance did not decrease in the slightest.
He knew very well that the seemingly harmless, nerdy girl in front of him was actually a terrifying being who could travel through countless dimensions and whom even Bayonetta had to treat with utmost respect.
Even if it's just a clone, we must not let our guard down.
Despite the myriad thoughts swirling in his mind, Su Hui's expression grew increasingly gentle.
He slowly straightened up, withdrawing that extremely aggressive and oppressive aura.
Just when Merlin thought he was about to say something, Su Hui did something she didn't expect.
Instead of backing away, he plopped down on the sofa next to her.
The soft sofa suddenly sank down under his weight.
Merlin's petite body was caught off guard and sank in, involuntarily sliding a short distance towards Su Hui.
"ah!"
She let out a short gasp and scrambled to her feet.
She desperately shrank to the other end of the sofa, trying to get as far away from this dangerous man as possible.
But she hadn't had time to move away yet.
A strong arm, with an irresistible force, naturally draped over her shoulder, half-embracing and half-holding her small body.
"!"
Merlin's body instantly stiffened like a stone.
She could clearly feel the burning heat emanating from the man's arm, as well as his intense and aggressive masculine aura.
Merlin was held in his arms, and he curled up into a small ball, not daring to even breathe loudly.
This aura left her mind blank.
"Don't be so nervous."
Su Hui's voice rang in her ear, his tone so familiar that it was as if they were old friends who had known each other for many years.
"Look, I know your secret, and you know some things about me. There's no need for us to be so distant."
"Lord Merlin, alas..."
Su Hui suddenly sighed halfway through his sentence, which caught Merlin's attention.
She secretly raised her eyes and glanced at Su Hui suspiciously with her bloodshot eyes, which were filled with moisture.
What exactly does this man want to do?
“That woman Bayonetta, she's the one who called you here, but she left you here alone and went off to ‘have some fun’.”
He deliberately emphasized the words "find fun," his tone filled with undisguised sarcasm.
"That irresponsible guy is absolutely awful!"
Upon hearing the name "Beyond," Merlin's tense nerves subconsciously relaxed a little.
Her small nostrils twitched slightly, as if to express her dissatisfaction.
"In my opinion, Bayonetta will only make things worse, and only you, sir, are magnanimous enough to tolerate her."
These words seemed to resonate deeply with Merlin.
The image of Bayonetta's always-smiling face flashed into her mind, and she nodded repeatedly in agreement.
That's right!
That's it!
That's what big-breasted women love!
"I always have to work so hard! And they even sold me out, they're so mean!"
"Yes, that's absolutely awful!"
Su Hui nodded in agreement, "I don't like women with big breasts at all!"
As he spoke, Su Hui turned to Merlin and said earnestly, "The enemy of my enemy is my friend. From now on, we are friends."
Su Hui spoke calmly, as if stating a perfectly simple fact. Mei, are you free? Lin, are you...?
friend?
These two words caused Merlin's chaotic thoughts to pause for a moment.
She cautiously raised her head, her exquisitely beautiful face filled with uncertainty and doubt.
"We...we're friends?"
Her voice was barely audible, filled with confusion and helplessness.
"of course."
This man, who had just been so intimidating that she could hardly breathe, was now saying that they were friends?
"of course."
Su Hui answered affirmatively.
