Otherworldly Skeleton Evolution

“Ah… Skeleton Big Brother, what are you talking about?”

Hearing Jiang Cheng’s mutterings, A Silly Cutie felt a bit confused.

“Tell me your impression of Su Lian’ya.”

“Uh… Su Lian’ya, so that big sister’s name is Su Lian’ya? She… seems quite nice.”

With a cheerful smile, A Silly Cutie said, “Even though she’s the city lord, she doesn’t have any airs at all. Not only did she waive 200 gold coins for me, but she also handled all the procedures. Skeleton Big Brother, do you have some misunderstanding about her?”

Seeing A Silly Cutie’s anxious appearance, Jiang Cheng rubbed his skull and let out a long sigh.

“At what point did you acknowledge her as your big sister?”

“When? I don’t know, I just felt she was a very good person.”

Jiang Cheng shook his head and helplessly revealed the truth to her, asking step by step.

“Just now, outside the City Lord’s Manor, when people were blocking the entrance, you were quite angry, right?”

A Silly Cutie nodded.

“When you heard City Lord Hao’er make excuses, saying he wouldn’t handle any business today, tell me, what was your first genuine reaction?”

Jiang Cheng grabbed A Silly Cutie’s shoulders, facing her directly, and waited for her answer.

“I… I wanted to stab him!” A Silly Cutie furrowed her brows and spoke her true thoughts, her slashing motion very cute.

“But what does this have to do with Big Sister Su Lian’ya?”

A Silly Cutie was still quite puzzled.

“Before Su Lian’ya became the city lord, what identity do you think she had?”

“Uh…” A Silly Cutie raised her little head, pouted, and pondered for a moment. “Probably a princess? Or a noble lady? She’s really beautiful.”

Jiang Cheng facepalmed, feeling she was hopeless.

But he still didn’t give up trying to save her and continued, “When she smiled at you, did you feel overwhelmed?”

“Uh… yes.”

“That was her setting a trap for you,” Jiang Cheng said seriously.

“When a person of noble status smiles at an ordinary person, usually, the ordinary person will feel overwhelmed.”

“And at this time, if there’s another person with a status not much lower than hers who treats you quite rudely, forming a stark contrast, it will make the ordinary person’s favorable impression of her increase even more.”

“If at this moment, she also resolves your most troublesome problem, you will leave an indelible impression of her in your heart, feeling immense gratitude.”

“Thus, in your heart, you will label her as a good person. This label, before she reveals her true intentions, may accompany you for life.”

“Moreover, the power she displayed to you will make you think of her first whenever you encounter issues.”

“Oh, Skeleton Big Brother, are you saying Big Sister Su Lian’ya did it on purpose? She wants to deliberately get close to me?”

A Silly Cutie raised her little head, finally understanding some things.

“But that’s not right either. If she wants to get close to me, why didn’t she ask to add me as a friend?”

After hearing this, Jiang Cheng felt somewhat relieved. “This is where her brilliance lies. If her purpose is too obvious, it’s easy to make you wary. She wants you to take the initiative to find her.”

“So that’s how it is? But that shouldn’t be. I don’t have any reason to look for her.”

Jiang Cheng shook his head. “The battle to conquer the city in ten days – if it’s unsuccessful, the guild will be disbanded. Do you think you can successfully conquer the city?”

“Uh… this… it should be possible, right?”

A Silly Cutie’s tone was a bit uncertain.

Although at this moment, there were already tens of thousands of membership applications.

But she… mainly lacked confidence in herself.

“Each guild has two chances in the battle to conquer the city. If you fail the first time, who will you go to?”

“Su Lian…”

A Silly Cutie blurted out, but after saying two characters, she instantly woke up.

“So that’s how it is?”

Although A Silly Cutie was silly and cute, she wasn’t stupid to that extent. After Jiang Cheng’s explanation, she immediately understood.

However, she just wasn’t clear about what exactly this Su Lian’ya wanted to do.

“Actually, even if I say anything more, deep down, don’t you still feel, or rather, still hold a bit of hope that Su Lian’ya shouldn’t be a bad person?”

Jiang Cheng stared at her seriously.

“Mm, it really seems to be like that.” A Silly Cutie nodded with great trepidation, patting her chest, appearing quite shaken.

“It seems this battle to conquer the city definitely won’t go smoothly.”

Jiang Cheng put away the Frost Disaster in his hand, swinging his wrist, and fell into contemplation.

“Ah… then what should we do?” A Silly Cutie was a bit flustered and at a loss.

Jiang Cheng patted her head. “Who can say for sure what will happen in ten days?”

“You should start recruiting people first. However, you need to set a membership fee – ten gold per person.”

A Silly Cutie: “…”
