Chloe said, "Looks like we'll need to take a bath first when we get back."

Fufu buried her head into his shoulder and said:

"With so many people inside, it seems there's no way to continue giving my body to you."

"Haha, Sister Fufu, you're really getting more and more..."

"You don't like it?"

"You can only be like this in front of me."

"Hehe."

"But doesn't it hurt?"

"I'm, I'm fine, besides, didn't you heal me already? Now I'm just a bit weak."

"Isn't my back too hard? After all, it's the result of Master Heisha's training."

"Isn't it very reassuring?"

"I wonder if there's been any trouble on their side?"

"Probably not, at most they think there's a powerful battle here, let's just go over and tell them it's been dealt with?"

"Haha, anyway, I did find a bigger water dragon lurking underwater, and we'll say I fought it."

"You, you're so naughty, you clearly killed it with one punch but had to hit it so many times."

Fufu was speechless.

The water dragon was hidden deep and didn't intend to attack them, so even Fufu didn't notice it hiding in the deep water.

But it happened to run into Chloe, who had the talent of the Child of the Ocean.

Though it was hidden far from the safety zone, it was directly detected and taken down by her lover.

——Now, this explains why there was such a strange commotion by the waterfall.

Don't ask.

If you ask, it's because of a great battle with a water dragon!

Chloe hesitated for a moment and then said:

"Did you enjoy this outing, sister?"

"Yes, I was very happy, thank you."

"No, I should thank you, sister, knowing that I..."

"Shh!"

Fufu blocked what he was about to say:

"Looks like I'll be sore all over when I get up tomorrow."

...

That night.

The commotion caused by the water dragon was over in a few minutes.

Until Chloe and Fufu went to kill it, everyone's enthusiasm for dragon hunting instantly waned.

Rephya was eager to try, but after seeing the dragon beaten to death, she lost interest.

However, Xiaolu got smart.

She knew better than anyone what Chloe's true strength was now.

With their strength, how could they fight a water dragon and let Sister Fufu get hurt?

So Xiaolu looked at the two of them with a subtle expression.

But...

"Can't be angry, can't be angry, Sister Fufu started it."

Xiaolu quietly encouraged herself.

Aisha couldn't understand, only thinking Senior Chloe is indeed amazing.

But she had a doubt.

In her dream, Chloe was also strong, but not as exaggerated as now.

Was it a mistake in the dream?

Or were the variables in reality increasing?

Thinking about it made her tense.

Looks like she'll have to make moves as soon as possible.

Of course.

Besides Fufu and Xiaolu, there were actually people who could guess what happened.

Like Nini.

She was munching on nuts and pouted:

"Bad Fufu, when I find the curse, I'll definitely suppress you with Xiaoke!"

Besides that...

Teresa tore at the beef jerky, and for a moment felt like hitting someone.

That damn Chloe, doesn't he have a sense of restraint?

Always doing such things whenever he wants!

"Damn it, did that jerk forget I can smell the scent?!"

Teresa, who could perceive fragrances, was angry.

...

The next day.

The group planned to rest for the day before continuing to explore underground.

Without any surprises.

The hot spring became the most praised attraction of the day.

After separating to soak in the hot springs, the group gathered again for a meal.

But today, everyone was forbidden from drinking alcohol.

Tomorrow they'd delve underground, and drinking would lead to trouble.

As meal time approached, Chloe noticed something interesting.

Scene 1:

Lilith slowly approached Fratiss.

Teresa: "Fratiss, come help me wash the ingredients."

"Coming."

The little foodie ran away.

...

Scene 2:

Lilith carried ingredients over to wash them.

Laura: "Fratiss, help me with the soy sauce."

"Coming!"

The little foodie turned and ran to the cooking group.

...

Scene 3:

Lilith quickened her pace, trying to get right in front of Fratiss.

Miseria: "Fratiss, come help me move something."

"Coming!"

The little foodie ran away again.

Lilith found herself speechless, her face gradually turning red.

Chloe saw her turn around, leaving unhappily, so he went up and said:

Here's the translation based on the given text:

"What are you doing?"

"Uh..." Lilith looked at Chloe with some panic in her eyes, and after a moment, she whispered, "Actually, I just wanted to talk to her, but she kept running around."

Chloe pondered.

Lilith's words probably referred to what Xiaolu mentioned at the time, about apologizing if the Fantasy Show was performed well.

Before leaving, Fratiss had been sulking because Lilith hadn't yet apologized.

"Is it about that matter?"

"Yeah, you know about it, too."

"It's quite troubling, isn't it?"

"Yeah."

"But I think, if Xiaolu knew the truth, she wouldn't blame you."

Lilith lowered her head and suddenly chuckled:

"Actually, there are some things you might not know."

"Like what?"

"I actually wouldn't have awakened so soon; if it weren't for you, I should have continued sleeping until the True God Uniqueness completely healed."

"Hmm."

"That was before you and I knew each other."

Lilith's voice was very soft.

She spoke of something that originally only she knew.

The disagreement between Lilith and Fratiss was not that simple.

From the current standpoint, Fratiss only felt that Lilith disrespected history and casually altered the script.

But actually...

"I remember when Fratiss performed the first Fantasy Show at the beginning of school, you watched it, right?"

"Yeah, what's the matter?"

"Do you remember the final scene on stage?"

Chloe tried to recall that performance.

He remembered; the Fantasy Show at the time was selected from the "Great Sin Hunting: Envy Chapter."

The show was adapted from the historical scene of the Prison Armor Hunting Great Sin: Envy Host.

At that time, Fratiss played the young King of Redemption; the war horse neighed, and the majestic presence of the young knight was fully displayed.

But towards the end of the performance, the horse under the female knight suddenly stirred, and eventually, the King of Redemption played by Fratiss was knocked off by the suppressed Envious Divine Choice.

...

Chloe tried hard to recall the scene from that time.

Finally, a bit surprised, he said:

"What happened to the person playing the Envious Divine Choice back then? I don't think I've seen them since."

Lilith said helplessly, "I've already kicked them out of the Fantasy Association."

"Seems like something happened that I don't know about," Chloe rubbed Lilith's cheek, saying, "But I know you didn't mean to hurt her, so don't show such a sad expression, okay?"

Lilith went silent.

Suddenly, she smiled slightly, saying:

"Just suddenly felt that things changed too fast."

She softly recounted some situation from back then.

In many people's eyes, Lilith seemed to be a wealthy and talented young lady.

Many tried to win her favor.

But Lilith had no interest in this.

— Because at that time, Lilith's personality was incomplete.

She was like her soul's essence was split into many parts, indifferent to various things, even carrying a faint sense of world-weariness.

"Thinking about it now, it should've been the True God Uniqueness healing itself, unconsciously generating a barrier to the world."

When talking about this, Lilith was somewhat sentimental:

"Back then, I actually rarely cared about anything until one time, upon meeting Fratiss, I suddenly had some rare emotions.

But at the time, I hadn't figured out the root of those emotions, just felt curious.

So, I kept her by my side, intending to observe closely.

Looking back now, even before remembering that piece of memory, my instincts didn't reject that child.

It's just later..."

A person's values are determined by past experiences.

And past experiences primarily consist of memories.

Lacking memories, leaving only instincts, in this situation, Lilith was very lost for a time.

The remaining True God Uniqueness occasionally awakened parts of her memory in dreams.

But once she woke from the dream, the emotions brought by those dream memories would gradually be suppressed.

Because at that time, Lilith clearly recognized that the memories from the dream were not experiences from this lifetime.

On one hand, during the healing process, she instinctively was influenced by the awakened memories.

On the other hand, feeling unclear about the situation, she was worried she might become another person.

Especially with an incomplete soul, this sense of alienation was particularly evident.

Though most of the time, when facing Fratiss, she inevitably showed a gentle smile.

Leading to people like Miseria, Laura, and others firmly believing Lilith liked Fratiss very much.

On the other hand, the seepage of those memories into the soul made her anxious, occasionally showing unease and anger towards Fratiss's closeness.

"If it were regular people, my small abnormality might not hurt her, but I'm the heir of the Mayer Trading Company, the daughter of the Fantasy Association president..."

Lilith self-mockingly smiled.

Now at school, her life is still relatively calm.

After all, students, though sycophantic, aren't as excessively flattering as those social groups outside.

— But there are always those wanting to cling to power.

Even within the Fantasy Association, there would be groups who look at her with flattering eyes, trying to interpret her every behavior.

— Including occasional displays of [impatience] towards Fratiss.

Lilith's confusion became, in some people's eyes, proof that Lilith didn't like Fratiss.

"So, to please you, someone tampered with the Fantasy Show that time?"

Chloe was suddenly enlightened.

If it were merely a clash of concepts, Fratiss wouldn't have been so angry.

The real cause of the rift between the two was that Fratiss was attacked by a member during a performance.

And within the Extreme Association, Lilith was the absolute ruler.

Unaware of Lilith's situation, upon realizing she was abruptly attacked on stage, Fratiss didn't think about herself getting hurt.

Instead...

[Does Senior Lilith hate me this much?]

[Hate me enough to have senior insult me?]

Chloe slapped his forehead.

Damn.

No wonder back then he felt Fratiss's anger and sadness were so genuine.

Could it not be real?

Thinking she was backstabbed by her most beloved senior, if it were him, he'd have the urge to kill.

Oh my, Xiaolu is really that kind-hearted?
