Since the system became my girlfriend

Standing before the corpse of the Ghost Hunter, Su Rui could clearly sense that Lord Daryl's body had stiffened; he seemed to be in fear and dared not approach to examine it.

"Can...can you do me a favor?" Daryl turned to Su Rui and said, and Su Rui could see very complicated emotions in his eyes.

"Lord City Lord, please speak!" Su Rui said immediately.

“I’m not speaking to you as the city lord, I’m just asking you for a favor in my personal capacity!” Daryl said.

"Okay, go ahead!" Su Rui nodded again.

"Could you go and take a look for me? See what she looks like now..." Daryl said to Su Rui. Although he was now the lord of a city, at this moment, Daryl seemed to have turned back into the child he used to be.

Before him lay his mother's corpse. Although she had left him when he was still an infant, Daryl had developed a special affection for her because of his father's constant teachings.

This feeling made Daryl both unfamiliar with his mother and filled with fantasies. For decades, his mother had been a beautiful, noble, brave, and holy figure in his mind. He was truly afraid that if the veil were lifted, a rotten face covered with maggots would appear, which would completely destroy the image of his mother in his mind and destroy the beauty he held in his heart.

“Okay!” Su Rui nodded, then stepped forward and squatted down in front of the Ghost Hunter’s corpse. At this moment, Lord Daryl turned his back. He was really afraid, afraid that the beautiful memories he had of his mother would be completely destroyed.

"Whoosh!" Su Rui unveiled the Ghost Hunter's veil.

It was a deathly pale face, completely devoid of luster and color, yet remarkably well-preserved, still resembling her youthful appearance. Her expression was serene, suggesting that her death was a kind of liberation.

“Lord of the City, you are welcome to come and take a look!” Su Rui turned around and said to Daryl.

"Is it okay?" Daryl's question was a stark contrast to his imposing figure; even the strongest man has his fears.

“Yes, she passed away peacefully, just like when she was young!” Su Rui stood up and stepped aside.

Upon hearing Su Rui's words, Daryl turned around and immediately saw that familiar yet unfamiliar face. In the city lord's mansion, there were many portraits of Daryl's mother, which were all painted by someone Karl Genes had asked to paint for Daryl's mother. So although Daryl had no idea what his mother looked like when she was alive, her face was deeply imprinted in his mind.

“Mother…” Daryl murmured to himself. The woman lying on the ground with a peaceful expression looked exactly like the woman in the oil painting at home. This was undoubtedly his mother!

“Father, I’ve found her! I’ve finally found her! Don’t worry, I will take her back to you, back to your side, so that you and Mother can finally be reunited!” Daryl stepped forward and picked up his mother’s body.

"..." Su Rui didn't speak. He just quietly followed behind Daryl. Because the monsters on the way here had been cleared, even though Daryl was holding his mother's corpse and could no longer attack, they were not hindered by any further attacks.

Soon, Su Rui and his group left the cave and crossed the low hills. This time, however, Su Rui was the one clearing the road when they crossed the gnoll monster area.

Because of the need to fight, Su Rui inevitably had to chant spells. He even used the forbidden technique of resurrection. Su Rui was gambling that the city lord would tolerate the existence of his dark profession and that Daryl would not punish him.

Of course, as a professional gamer, Boss Su couldn't just gamble blindly based on luck. The reason he dared to expose his profession in front of Daryl was mainly because Daryl was also doing something shady.

It's true that Su Rui is a dark magic wizard who has practiced forbidden arts, but Lord Daryl also wants to bury his mother, who is a ghost, back in the family cemetery. Neither of them can be seen in the light of day, so neither of them should say anything about the other.

At first, Su Rui was fine when he was casting Shadow Bolt and Corruption. Daryl just glanced at him but didn't say anything, after all, he was carrying the remains of an undead in his arms!

But when Su Rui released the resurrection and brought a corpse back to life, Daryl's attitude changed abruptly!

"Boom!" A golden-red aura rose from Daryl's body, enveloping him completely. The green name above his head had turned pink and was deepening. Once it turned red, he would become hostile and attack Su Rui directly!

Seeing that Daryl was at level 85, Su Rui knew that Daryl could kill him with a single spit, so he absolutely could not wait until Daryl became an enemy!

"Lord of the City, I have something to say!" Su Rui shouted hurriedly. Facing a BOSS with a level of 85, he didn't even have the right to run away!

Daryl stared intently at Su Rui without saying a word. At this point, his relationship with Su Rui had cooled and was heading towards hostility, so there was no way he would pay any attention to Su Rui.

This time, Su Rui miscalculated again. He was right at first. Because Daryl was burying his deceased mother, he had done something forbidden, so it was unlikely that he would pursue the matter of Su Rui being a member of a dark profession.

But Daryl lost his mother because of the undead, and those undead even turned his mother into an undead as well, bringing shame to the entire Genes family. So he hates the undead, and he hates even more the people who create the undead, such as Su Rui!

As a player, Su Rui thought that resurrecting a corpse to fight for him was just a skill for summoning pets. But in the eyes of the NPC Daryl, Su Rui was an evil wizard who created the undead! It was because of people like Su Rui that he lost his mother when he was young, and that his mother became the grotesque person she is today!

So when Su Rui used the Resurrection skill, Daryl's reputation with him plummeted, and they were about to become enemies, with a city-wide manhunt for him!

"Ding! Your reputation with Lord Daryl has dropped to hostile!"

“Die! You filthy scum should not exist in this world!” Daryl roared, then he held his mother’s body in one arm and drew his broadsword with the other.

"I absolutely cannot let him attack!" This was the only thought in Su Rui's mind at this moment. If he was attacked, he would be instantly killed, and then Daril would return to the city and issue a city-wide warrant for Su Rui's arrest. Once Su Rui was wanted by the entire city, he would not be able to enter Xuanwu City and would never be able to see Daril again. This grudge would then be impossible to resolve!
