Me and My Two Bosses' Systems

"Hmm? Okay, then I'll trouble Yufinar. I am indeed very curious about the Demon Thorn Fruit Tree, which is unique to the Succubus Clan." Li Xingyu had never heard of such a fussy fruit before. It wasn't something that only Succubi could produce; she was genuinely curious.

The others, upon hearing Li Xingyu and Yufinal's conversation, also became interested. They had never seen the Demon Thorn Fruit Tree before. Although Tian Shu could directly screen the information, it would take away all the fun. Moreover, he wasn't particularly interested in plants and wouldn't specifically look for plants he hadn't heard of.

"Wow~ This is so beautiful! What is it?" Li Xingyu stared in amazement at the enlarged screen of the Yufengal quantum computer. The screen was displaying a dreamlike photograph:

A large, irregularly shaped, pinkish-purple cloud, about two meters above the ground and roughly one meter in diameter, was dotted with pale purple stars and dozens of warm white vines, each over a meter long, hanging in mid-air, resembling a large curtain meticulously crafted from jade.

Everyone present marveled at the dreamlike scene, their faces showing a hint of amazement. After the amazement came a trace of doubt: Weren't we supposed to be showing them the Demon Thorn Fruit Tree? What is this?

After a moment of slight confusion, Xinghe, Tian Shu, and Cain looked at the scene displayed on the light brain screen floating in mid-air with surprise.

Si Zian watched the show with great interest, holding his personal computer in his hand and smiling at Li Xingyu and the others.

"This is the Demon Thorn Fruit Tree, isn't it beautiful?" Yufinal's words rang in Li Xingyu and the others' ears as the photo slid across the screen.

"Hmm, huh? Wait, Yufinar, you just said this is a Demon Thorn Fruit Tree!?" Li Xingyu nodded, trying to show that he understood, but only halfway through nodding did he realize what Yufinar had just said, and stared at the image on the other party's computer screen in shock.

Now, the Yufinal computer screen displays a different image of irregularly shaped, pinkish-purple clouds dotted with pale purple stars. The warm white vines on them are much shorter and thinner than in the previous image, and the stars dotting the clouds are lighter in color and smaller in size.

"A Demon Thorn Fruit Tree?" Yufinal looked at his personal computer screen with a puzzled expression. A Demon Thorn Fruit Tree? Did I post the wrong picture? Little Feather's reaction is a little strange.

Li Xingyu first carefully examined the Demon Thorn Fruit on the coffee table, which still had sharp thorns and looked rather unappealing, and then turned her gaze to the light brain screen of Yufengal, which displayed pictures that were dreamlike in both color and content.

"Hmm... I always feel like they're not in the same style. One's dark, and the other's dreamy." Li Xingyu, Li Yue, and Che's eyes darted back and forth between the coffee table and the screen on Yufinar's personal computer, still somewhat puzzled.

"However... if you look closely, you can find that the stars on these clouds are basically the same shape as the Demon Thorn Fruit, only the color and size are slightly different." Li Yue was the first to come to her senses. Although the two items have very different styles, you can find some similarities after careful observation and comparison.

"Ah~ that's definitely true. Li Yue's observation skills are quite good. It's just that this Demon Thorn Fruit Tree is so beautiful, so why are its fruits so... um... it's hard to explain." Li Xingyu had also noticed these details, and now, following Li Yue's lead, she still couldn't shake her habit of making sarcastic remarks and her obsession with appearances.

"Hehehe~ We haven't studied this much, but it should be for the same reason as other fruits. Okay, how about trying some Demon Thorn Fruit first? I've already processed it, so you can just open it and eat it. But be careful of the sharp thorns on it." Yufinar couldn't help but chuckle as he looked at Li Xingyu's little expression. He sent the picture of the Demon Thorn Fruit tree from his personal computer to their group chat and invited everyone to eat some fruit first.

Although it's not very late now, only a little past six in the afternoon, I've usually been hungry once by now, so I still need to eat something. It's not far from mealtime, so fruit is a good choice.

"Okay, I can refer to the pictures you posted and draw some pictures or make some other handicrafts. This magic thorn fruit tree is really beautiful," Li Xingyu said, taking a magic thorn fruit and turning to ask Yu Fenal with an expectant look.

"Of course you can. Can I watch from the sidelines?" Yufinal had been keeping an eye on Li Xingyu whenever he had free time, so he knew that the other party was very talented, especially in terms of handicrafts, which he greatly admired.

"Little Feather, do you like this Demon Thorn Fruit tree?" Si Zian also picked up a Demon Thorn Fruit. Her fair skin contrasted sharply with the deep purple-black Demon Thorn Fruit, and she had a thoughtful expression on her face.

"Mmm, this looks so good. By the way, Grandpa Zian is also a god-level succubus. Can you grow this?" Li Xingyu nodded when she heard Si Zian's words, and then looked at Si Zian's direction with curiosity. The Milky Way was in the middle, but it was slightly blocked.

“Of course we can, but the conditions for planting Magic Thorn Fruit trees aren’t right here yet. We’ll have to wait a while. Your Grandpa Ryan and the others really like these Magic Thorn Fruits, but unfortunately, due to some reasons, I haven’t had a chance to plant them for them yet. I’ll be able to plant them for them soon.” Si Zi’an’s expression was complex, a mixture of melancholy, nostalgia, determination, and relief…

Li Xingyu was puzzled by Si Zian's expression, but she subconsciously felt that it wasn't a bad thing: "Yes, I'll be looking forward to it. Grandma and Grandpa Ryan will definitely be very happy then."

Not quite understanding Si Zian's current emotions, Li Xingyu didn't know what to say after finishing her sentence. She could only silently examine the Demon Thorn Fruit in her hand, intending to figure out how to open it. The thorns on it were quite sharp, giving her a feeling of not knowing where to start.

“Grandpa Zi’an has already gone home, and I believe that the magic thorn fruit trees can be planted in this area soon. If Grandpa Zi’an doesn’t mind, I can also help out.” Yu Fenar saw that Li Xingyu was holding the magic thorn fruit and didn’t know what to do with it, so he handed Li Xingyu the magic thorn fruit he had already opened and comforted Si Zi’an.

Everyone present naturally knew why Si Zian had such an expression. Many of them had similar experiences in their own families, feeling that they hadn't fulfilled their promises to their families or gotten along well with them because of some decision they made, or work-related matters.

Li Xingyu knew the reason and the emotions involved, but she couldn't quite empathize with them, so she seemed a little lost. She quickly organized her thoughts and words, then took the opened Demon Thorn Fruit from Yufinar's hand and walked towards Si Zian: "Thank you, Yufinar, Grandpa Zian. I believe you already know how Grandma and Grandpa feel, but I'd like to give you a quote from a collection of poems that Grandpa gave me. It's perfect for you right now: Grandpa Zian, 'The light boat has already passed ten thousand mountains, no matter in any aspect.'"

"Hmm, thank you, Little Feather. It's a very good poem, full of life philosophy. I haven't quite gotten used to it yet." Si Zian smiled a dazzling smile that could be described as captivating, and toasted with the opened Demon Thorn Fruit in his hand and the one Li Xingyu had placed in front of him.

"No need to thank me, Grandpa Zi'an. We're all family. You're my grandpa." Li Xingyu was momentarily stunned by Si Zi'an's radiant smile. That smile carried no negative emotion whatsoever; it was gentle, serene, and relaxed…

"Mmm, little feather, you're such a treasure, one of our family's most precious treasures, hahaha." Si Zian patted Li Xingyu's shoulder with his free hand, laughing with satisfaction and joy.

Poor Li Xingyu, who was stunned by the beauty, hadn't even come to her senses when Si Zian almost slapped her to the ground.

Twitching her lips, Li Xingyu stretched her shoulders and took a bite of the Demon Thorn Fruit in her hand with resentment. Immediately, the sweet taste and crisp texture in her mouth caught her attention.

After realizing what had happened and feeling a little embarrassed, Si Zian gave a haughty "humph." Li Xingyu, holding the somewhat prickly Demon Thorn Fruit, returned to the spot where she had just been sitting without any hesitation.

"How is it? Doesn't it taste and feel great?" Yufinal asked with a smile as Li Xingyu came over and sat down.

"Mmm, delicious. Thank you, Yufinal. Did you grow these?" Li Xingyu smiled at Yufinal, then took another bite of the Demon Thorn Fruit, squinting her eyes with a satisfied expression.

“Yes, I started growing Demon Thorn Fruits after I awakened. Before that, I helped my family with small tasks. Also… Little Feather, could you just call me Nar? I’m not used to using my full name.” Yufinar nodded and then began to discuss with Li Xingyu about what to call him by his name.

Calling him by his full name is too formal and unfamiliar. Only when he was very young and had caused trouble or gotten into some kind of trouble would his mother and father call him by his full name. After that, he would only hear his full name in public and formal occasions.

Moreover, for some reason, he easily gets nervous and guilty whenever family or friends call him by his full name, even though he himself doesn't know why he gets nervous or guilty.

"Huh? That's fine too, Nar?" Li Xingyu was a little confused. So far, she felt pretty good about Yufinar and the others' intentions and how they got along. Calling him by his name was fine too, since his name was indeed a bit long and difficult to pronounce and remember for her.

"Hmm, Little Feather, be careful. Although the thorns of the Demon Thorn Fruit have softened a bit after processing, your skin is too delicate and it's easy to prick your hands. Do you still want to eat it? I'll open one for you." Yufinal's ears turned red unconsciously as he watched Li Xingyu finish eating a Demon Thorn Fruit and discard the shell, leaving several obvious red marks on his hands. He couldn't help but remind him.

"Ah, it's nothing. It's just that my skin is a bit thin and pale, so it's easy for it to leave obvious marks. I want to eat it." Li Xingyu looked at her hands, which had several marks on them, blew on them, gently clenched her fist and then relaxed it. She shook her head, not caring much, and her eyes were fixed on the magic thorn fruit on the coffee table.

I must say, although the Demon Thorn Fruit doesn't look very good, it tastes delicious. It doesn't matter if it doesn't look good, as long as it tastes good. Hmm, it's a good fruit, but it's a bit difficult to grow. No wonder there aren't any on Blue Star.

"Okay, I'll open it for you, just a moment." Seeing Li Xingyu's eager look, Yu Fenar slowed down and opened another Demon Thorn Fruit for her.

The Demon Thorn Fruits that Xinghe and the others just ate were opened by Si Zian and You Feinar. After all, apart from the two succubi, Si Zian and You Feinar, everyone else present was eating them for the first time, so they had to be taken care of. But they couldn't keep letting You Feinar and Si Zian open them for them, even though they probably would have been happy to.

Si Zian and You Feinar were indeed in a good mood. Everyone liked to eat the things they grew at home, which made them very happy. Opening a magic thorn fruit was nothing to them; they had been eating it like this since they were little, and they were already very skilled at it.

After noticing the slight unease among the others, Yufinar deliberately slowed down his movements, letting them watch and learn. With Si Zian and him there, there wouldn't be any problems with the Demon Thorn Fruit.

Xinghe and the others noticed that Yufinal had deliberately slowed down his movements, so they quickly picked up a device and followed along, while also expressing their gratitude for his thoughtfulness.

Actually, opening a magic thorn fruit isn't that difficult. The surface of the magic thorn fruit has a row of thorns that aren't very dense. Find the place where the thorns are relatively sparse, use that place as the center line, pinch the longer thorns next to it and apply force to both sides.

Yufinal just dealt with the Demon Thorn Fruit. One step was to remove the protective layer on the surface of the Demon Thorn Fruit. This protective layer can only be removed by succubi using their energy. Other races cannot even see this protective layer and may accidentally get hurt by it, and then the Demon Thorn Fruit will also be destroyed.

Another thing is to mark the line where the thorns are sparser, so that they can open the magic thorn fruit more easily.

To be fair, Eufinal's thoughtful gesture is quite endearing.

Xinghe and the others quickly learned how to open the Demon Thorn Fruit. Watching their easy movements, Li Xingyu also took a Demon Thorn Fruit and tried it, discovering that the skin of the Demon Thorn Fruit was unusually thick and hard.

Yeah, the thorns are pretty sharp too.

Li Xingyu coldly accepted the Demon Thorn Fruit from Yufinal's hand, the thorns of which had already flattened. There was still a pink bandage on her left index finger. She took a big bite of the Demon Thorn Fruit flesh as if venting her anger.

Si Zian stared at the opened, thorn-shaving Demon Thorn Fruit in front of Li Xingyu with a complicated expression. Her eyes twitched, and she silently opened the fruit, her fingernails transforming into their true form: long, sharp, bright red fingernails. She smoothed out the thorns one by one before placing it in front of Li Xingyu.
