Chapter 290: 290, if you had to choose between me and Tina, who would you choose?_1
“Yeah, well, what about it?” Snow Leopard admitted honestly.
He had intended for his sister Snow Fall to look after Nemesis’ meals and daily life because every single minute and second of Nemesis’ time was precious. He shouldn’t waste this valuable time on chores like cooking, washing dishes, or taking out the trash.
As for whether anything would happen when a man and woman lived together… well, that was beyond his control.
“How could you! Nemesis is my boyfriend, how could you send another woman to his house?!”
Unable to suppress her anger, Sky Dragon initiated her skill [Double Arrow Shot]. Two arrows left the bowstring with a “swish” sound and flew towards Snow Leopard.
Snow Leopard, a Druid, switched to his [Bear] form quickly, activating his skill [Iron Fur].
Clang! Clang!
The two arrows hit Snow Leopard’s head as if they had struck a steel plate, causing sparks to fly before falling to the ground. They didn’t penetrate his flesh like they would have if they hit a body.
Snow Leopard’s health bar only dropped by about 4%.
Ignoring these, he opened so his private chat window to send a message to Su Yu: “Sky Dragon said you’re her boyfriend? You’ve deceived an underage girl of 14 to be your girlfriend? I didn’t know you were such a Nemesis!”
Su Yu:
Su Yu: “You’ve misunderstood, there’s nothing like that. When Sky Dragon said she wanted to be my girlfriend four years later, I just casually agreed. After all, no one knows what will happen four years later…”
With a fair amount of text, Su Yu finally clarified the relationship between him and Sky Dragon.
He also somewhat regretted it. If he’d known, he wouldn’t have agreed to Sky Dragon; it wouldn’t have led to all this trouble now.
After reading Su Yu’s private message, Snow Leopard nodded in understanding of the ins and outs of the matter.
During his chat with Su Yu, he took a few more arrows from Sky Dragon, his health dropping to 70%.
However, his [Berserk Recovery] skill activated, and the red light surged on his bear body, restoring his health to full.
“Alright, I got it,” Snow Leopard smiled. “I won’t send my sister to live with Nemesis any longer. Is that good now?”
Anyway, Nemesis himself didn’t agree, so this wasn’t much of a concession.
“Hmm, that’s better,” Sky Dragon huffed, retracting her bow and arrows.
But then she seemed to think of something else, turning her eyes and saying: “Or… could you tell me Nemesis’s address in real life? I’ll forgive you if you do.”
“Well…” Snow Leopard reflexively wanted to refuse.
Nemesis’ address was a state secret. How could he casually leak it and cause unnecessary trouble for Nemesis?
But considering the relationship between Sky Dragon and Nemesis…
He cautiously answered:
“Yes, I can. However, our ‘relevant department’ needs to review your qualifications and you need to sign a confidentiality agreement.”
“Fine, just do it,” Sky Dragon replied happily.
Su Yu was unaware of what was happening on the city wall.
In the game, it was already nightfall. Riding Dima, Su Yu headed towards the Princess’s House.
The princess was so busy during the day that she only had free time after nightfall.
Walking on the streets of Orleans City.
Although it was already night, the main street was still bustling.
The people of Orleans City were cheering for their victory, holding a grand carnival parade. There were people singing and dancing everywhere.
Su Yu was also infected by this joyous atmosphere.
It couldn’t help but remind him of Blue Star.
He hoped that in a year, this joyous atmosphere would sweep Blue Star too.
In order for Blue Star to see this day, he had to work even harder!
Princess House.
After receiving Su Yu’s request to meet, Alyssa immediately met with him.
In the garden of the royal mansion, Alyssa was wearing a white casual dress – it looked like a nightgown. The lavish ornaments she usually wore in her hair during the day were all removed, her hair loosely draped over her shoulders, she looked like an ordinary girl next door.
She was sitting on a swing, sipping juice and enjoying the moonlight.
It was a large double swing.
Seeing Su Yustarrival, Alyssa patted the empty space beside her: “Come on, Nemesis, sit.”
“This… isn’t quite appropriate, is it?” said Su Yu, a bit hesitant.
“What’s so inappropriate about it?” Alyssa laughed. “In this country, whatever I say goes, no one dares to question its appropriateness.”
She then picked up a cup of juice that was sitting by her side and handed it to Su Yu.
“Alright.” Su Yu sat next to Alyssa, accepting the juice.
He took a sip and determined it was kiwi juice.
“Um… Princess Alyssa.”
“When we are alone, just call me Alyssa.”
“Alright, Alyssa. How’s your leg wound?” Su Yu’s gaze fell to her legs.
During the day Alyssa had been severely wounded in the battle with Tula Yang. He was curious how she was now.
“It’s much better. I can’t deny that Tina’s bandages were surprisingly effective!” Alyssa chuckled, then lifting her left leg, she placed it on Su Yu’s thigh.
Because it was too dark, Su Yu couldn’t see clearly. He reached down to feel it, finding that Alyssa’s left calf was smooth and tender, indeed showing no signs of injury.
Alyssa seemed somewhat unaccustomed to Su Yu’s touch, her body shivered slightly, and she quickly withdrew her leg.
However, she didn’t say anything and instead fell silent.
The atmosphere between the two became awkward.
After a while,
Having finished the juice in his cup, Su Yu turned to Alyssa and said, “Alyssa, I’m sure the state affairs must be quite burdensome at the moment. You should also take care to rest more, drink more hot water, and don’t tire yourself.”
“Drink more hot water?” Alyssa appeared confused. Wasn’t the juice nice? Why should she drink hot water?
But she sighed and stated, “Yeah, managing the entire country is indeed troublesome. We have to reclaim lost territory, revitalize the economy, improve people’s livelihoods, actively promote internal reforms, handle internal contradictions, deal with external human… ah, so many things. If only there was someone to help me manage the country.”
Alyssa turned to stare intently at Su Yu. Her meaning was quite apparent, all that was left was for her to declare, “After careful consideration, we have decided it should be you.”
Su Yu, however, pretended not to understand Alyssa and continued on his own:
“How about you let Tina help you? Tina achieved mastery in military affairs in just one week of study. If she studies administrative affairs, she might also master them in a short time…”
“Don’t try to change the subject!” Alyssa interrupted Su Yu.
She jumped down from the swing, turned around and stared at Su Yu with her hands on her hips, “We’ve thoroughly defeated rebels and unification of the country is inevitable. Now what I want to ask you is, if you had to choose between me and Tina, who would you choose?”
