“But you can’t keep touching me like that!”
Serveyia looked at the fluffy white ball in front of her and let out a helpless laugh.
She really didn’t know how to evaluate the little fox before her.
When he was being perverted, he was so oppressive, but when he was obedient, he was so well-behaved.
She truly didn’t know what to say.
“Of course, little fox, if you’re still uneasy, you can keep hiding in your tail. I just want to hold you, that’s all.”
Listening to Serveyia’s words, Lin Sheng hesitated for a moment before moving closer, then was pulled into Serveyia’s embrace.
“Little fox, if you had the power to choose, would you want to become the Princess of St. Laia?”
Serveyia hugged the little fox in her arms, finding the fluffy sensation unexpectedly pleasant, and couldn’t help but stroke it.
“Little fox, you’ve always said you never had the chance. I’m a bit curious—if you really had the opportunity, what kind of choice would you make?”
“I—I don’t know. Maybe in the end, I’d still choose to become a Princess.”
“Why?”
“Well, how should I put it? Before, as an ordinary male university student, both my life trajectory and future plans were clear as day. Honestly, if it were anyone else, they’d also want to seek some change…”
For Lin Sheng, whether it was joining a regular company or getting married and having children in due course, it was already a decent life for an ordinary person.
But still, a routine life, while safe, was a bit too peaceful.
Deep down, Lin Sheng still craved excitement.
“So, little fox, you’ve already accepted your identity now, haven’t you?”
“Mm… Anyway, we’ve come this far, so accepting or not doesn’t make much difference anymore, does it?”
“In that case, there are some things you need to understand, about you, about the Princess, and about this Continent.”
Upon hearing Serveyia’s words, Lin Sheng finally perked up.
It’s here, it’s here—the Main Quest has finally arrived.
Lin Sheng knew Saint Laia couldn’t possibly support him for nothing.
Promoting friendly exchanges between various races sounded too vague.
There had to be more practical goals, right?
Seeing the little fox poke his head out from the white fluff, Serveyia thought he looked unbearably cute.
Lin Sheng’s current appearance inexplicably reminded Serveyia of a Snowman.
“Serveyia, so, is there a new quest for me?”
In truth, Lin Sheng enjoyed the sense of achievement from completing tasks.
So, if there were some simple quests for him to do, that was actually a good thing.
“Rather than a quest, it’s more about things you need to know, little fox.”
As she spoke, Serveyia absentmindedly stroked the Fox Ears exposed outside, making Lin Sheng shrink his neck again.
“Although the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox is considered auspicious, not everyone recognizes you as a Princess.”
“So, I have to find a way to gain their recognition?”
“Of course not. Wanting everyone to acknowledge you is wishful thinking in itself. Even Coins circulating in the Empire run into buyers who don’t value money, let alone people.”
“Then, why are you telling me this, Serveyia?”
“It’s to remind you to be careful. Not everyone is as friendly as those you’ve met. Out of caution, I think you need to be more aware.”
Serveyia paused, as if choosing her words.
“Some people see the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox as a forbidden prize. Others deliberately want to provoke War, and naturally view the Symbol of Peace as a target for conquest.”
“I—is it really that serious?”
Lin Sheng felt that Serveyia was just trying to scare him.
Real life wasn’t a novel—how could there be so much scheming?
Didn’t people always say that business battles in real life were straightforward?
Politics couldn’t be that complicated, right?
“To be honest, it’s even more serious. Within Saint Laia Academy, little fox, you might not feel it, but in reality, you’re the focus of all the powers on this Continent. Countless people are watching you—some want to win you over, some want to threaten you, and some even want to possess you. That’s why we hope you can protect yourself.”
“But aren’t you and the others still here, Serveyia?”
To Lin Sheng, Serveyia was undoubtedly his protector in Saint Laia Academy.
He had already started seeking her out instinctively whenever there was a problem.
“We might be able to shield you from external threats, but we can’t guarantee you won’t walk into danger on your own.”
“I—I’m not that stupid…”
Lin Sheng felt like, in Serveyia’s eyes, he was just a child who hadn’t grown up, needing her to remind him even about such trivial matters.
Seriously, he wasn’t the type of little girl who could be lured away with a piece of candy.
