Chapter 166: Alice's Life Guidance
"Can worrying about me make you this reckless?"
Alice's cute act softened Shen Sui's heart for a moment, but he quickly overcame it.
Alice's eagerness about her situation, of course, moved him deeply.
But in this matter, a mistake is a mistake.
Alice clearly doesn't understand her power level yet.
The strength of a fifth-tier mage isn't even enough to face a regular Boundary-breaking Worm, and yet she insists on coming over. Isn't that suicidal?
"Think about it! Suppose Antipus was the enemy." Shen Sui pointed at Antipus nearby and said, "The moment you appeared, you would have died hundreds of times over already. Anna and Aina, let alone not keeping up with you, even if they did, they wouldn't be able to save you."
Anna felt somewhat unconvinced upon hearing this.
She looked up towards Antipus.
The Insect Lady seemed to sense the gaze and curiously examined back.
In that instant, Anna felt a strong sense of pressure.
This pressure was something neither the Sinful Chalice nor the God of Sin had ever given her.
So powerful.
Anna quickly lowered her head, internally agreeing with Shen Sui's statement.
If Antipus truly were the enemy, then let alone Alice, even she would die here.
Alice also noticed Anna's reaction.
She followed by lowering her own head.
Freymia just smiled, watching Shen Sui teach Alice.
This scene was no different from a father teaching his daughter.
A strict father is already here, so shouldn't a kind mother be next?
Freymia's beautiful eyes sparkled as she began to plan how to comfort Alice later to gain a wave of goodwill.
As long as Alice acknowledges her, then even if Vivian doesn't, she would still be a woman Shen Sui couldn't overlook!
"Mother," Aina greeted softly.
"Huh?" Freymia was startled.
She looked at Aina, finally remembering that she seemed to have a daughter too.
"What's wrong, Aina?" Freymia quickly adjusted her mindset.
Aina looked at Freymia's wrist, where the chains symbolizing the seal had completely disappeared, meaning Freymia's seal was lifted.
Is this the legendary Twilight Bishop?
She recalled the series of gossip Alice had told her along the way about the Twilight Bishop and her mother, feeling a bit conflicted.
Should she call the man beside Alice 'father'....?
Freymia naturally didn't know her daughter's thoughts. Her eyes shifted to glance at Alice, then said, "You're good friends with Alice, right?"
"Mm!" Aina nodded affirmatively.
Although she didn't quite understand the weight of the word 'friend,' she was certain that when Alice was in danger, she would help without hesitation.
That must be what a friend is?
"Then make sure to maintain a good relationship with Alice," Freymia raised her hand to pinch her adopted daughter's cheek, gently saying.
Aina, your mother's happiness depends on you!
"Mmh, mmh!" Aina replied in a muffled voice.
"I understand the point." Meanwhile, Shen Sui had finally run out of words to preach, and Alice found a chance to interrupt, quickly saying, "Claude, how are you feeling?"
Ah....
My Alice is still so obedient.
Shen Sui felt a sense of emotion like an old father.
"Consider it not dead," Shen Sui vaguely said.
Alice blinked, starting to carefully observe Shen Sui.
"Speaking of...." Alice looked towards Freymia over there, suddenly speaking, "Didn't you say before that you need to reconstruct your body? You haven't specifically mentioned what to do, have you?"
"Why bring this up suddenly?" Shen Sui asked curiously.
Actually, he hadn't figured out how to fabricate an answer yet.
It's essentially a main quest Alice got from him, and if the so-called body reconstruction materials are planned well, it could provide Alice with a very smooth upgrade curve.
Shen Sui had carefully mapped out the material collection route before, but it was constantly interrupted by other things Alice stirred up.
Alice pursed her lips.
Some things probably couldn't be done without a body....
Alice looked at Freymia.
The absolutely beautiful Elf Empress, possessing a figure Alice could never compare to.
The passion she showed for Claude was so intense that Alice was almost overwhelmed. Just in those few minutes, Freymia glanced over every three to four seconds. Alice wasn't naive, and even though she was quite clueless in this area, she knew that if you wanted to have children, you needed physical contact between both parties.
Although her aunt was not nice to her, she did not shy away from educating her about these things.
In her aunt's words, a beautiful girl like Alice being taken advantage of by nobles or priests was only a matter of time, so it was better to learn some knowledge to protect herself when that time comes.
In the past, Alice didn't quite understand these things, but the past year's experiences had made her appreciate her aunt's good intentions.
Girls who were innocently beautiful and were shattered by the nobles through violence, Alice had encountered many such cases along the way while she was burning down noble castles.
Freymia cast another charming glance her way, seemingly wanting some alone time with Claude?
Damn, I'm really anxious for Claude.
Must quickly help him rebuild his body.
Alice's heart was resolute.
Shen Sui looked at Alice's strange expression, somewhat unable to comprehend.
But Alice bringing this up herself was rather convenient, saving Shen Sui the trouble of subtly issuing quests to her.
Shen Sui thought for a bit and said, "For now, you don't have the power to completely handle this on your own. But you can start gathering materials, and during this process, your power enhancement is also very important."
"Can't Sister Freymia help?" Alice didn't shirk, just thinking if Freymia helped, Claude might recover faster.
Feigning difficulty, Shen Sui replied, "Freymia is the Elf Empress; her status and position don't allow her to leave the Elf Forest for long. The task of gathering materials falls to you."
"Alright!" Alice affirmed with a nod, without even asking Shen Sui whether collecting materials would be difficult.
"It's about time I left." Shen Sui turned to look at Freymia.
This part of his consciousness had reached its limit; the main consciousness was about to be forcibly returned to the main body.
Freymia's eyes were immediately filled with resentment.
As if a long-waited husband was about to leave for a journey again.
"I'll be waiting for you here," Freymia pressed her lips, knowing Shen Sui didn't truly belong to this world.
[Ding! You have acquired a Soul Card Follower: Elf Empress Freymia]
Shen Sui's eyes flickered.
Looks like, with a Love Contract, one can gain a Soul Card?
"Don't worry, I can now contact you anytime." In Shen Sui's hand, a Soul Card of Freymia appeared, "Through this."
