It’s not a big deal anyway.

This made Shu feel a little more favorable towards Maria despite being surprised.

"Thank you!"

As she spoke, a pure smile spread across her face, she took a step forward and hugged Maria tightly.

This posture made Maria's body suddenly stiffen.

After a moment, she shook her head gently.

The two of them wandered slowly, step by step, through the fields at night...

The inspection of millet did not take too long.

In just over an hour, everyone had observed all the important things around them.

Although red blood incidents have occurred in many paddy fields here, it seems that these incidents have not affected the growth of plants, and everything around is still as natural as before.

After confirming this, Shu felt much more at ease.

Naturally, I had more time to observe Maria.

I don’t know if it’s just my illusion.

Although Maria looks beautiful on weekdays, after nightfall, Maria has a more unique smell.

It was a...very complex taste.

Her small, puzzling habitual movements, her cold, lonely eyes that revealed a hint of hesitation, her fair, tender skin that exuded a unique, alluring scent of incense...

And that upright posture etiquette...

All of these things combine to form Maria's unique image at this moment.

What puzzled Shu even more was that she didn't feel any novelty about this gesture, but instead had an inexplicable feeling...

just like……

Maria, is this how it should be?

Shu was thinking.

Maria also turned her head slightly at this time.

"What's wrong?"

She spoke, her voice revealing a tenderness that was rarely heard in normal times.

It was not until this time that Shu realized that Maria's complexion did not seem as good as before.

Although her skin was also very white before, it was obviously too white at this moment.

It's starting to show flesh color!

"Are you ok?"

Shu was a little worried.

"Is it because I've been busy these days and haven't eaten well, and I have health problems?"

"How about I go back and cook something for you?"

Shu took a few steps closer to Maria and spoke with concern.

"..."

Maria didn't reply. She just looked at the girl in front of her silently. After a few pauses, she sighed softly, "Don't worry, I know how my body is doing, and I will take care of this problem."

Shu is too worrying.

Maria had heard of Shu's personality before.

I also know that the other person has the habit of taking care of others involuntarily.

But most of the time, they will be very sensible... unless the other party is a member of the Sui family like Ji.

But from Maria's experience, Shu's personality doesn't seem to be like that...

"really?"

Shu obviously couldn't accept Maria's words, but looking at Maria's calm eyes, she could only remain silent for a while, then nodded helplessly in compromise.

"Since you put it that way..."

She knew that she couldn't persuade Maria.

After spending some time together, she has gradually come to understand Maria's character.

He seems easy to talk to, but he is actually a very opinionated person.

Once something is decided, no one can say anything about it.

This also troubled Shu for a while...but later he got used to it and stopped talking about it.

Seeing that Maria had no intention of continuing, she cleverly changed the subject.

"Speaking of which..."

"Ok?"

"Although I already know this, I'm still a little curious... Are you really the legendary general who conquers evil spirits?"

Shu walked in front of the field, the bright moonlight shining on her body, forming a sharp contrast with her bright hair.

Maria was a few steps behind the other person, with her head tilted.

"Do you need me to prove it to you?"

"Well... no need."

Shu smiled.

She actually already believed in Maria's identity.

Even now, when I bring up this matter, I just feel a little emotional.

The hero from more than 700 years ago suddenly appeared in front of him and communicated with him vividly.

This really made her feel absurd.

But it's just a feeling.

For her, her curiosity was not as strong as Nian or Xi's. Even if many unbelievable things happened around her, she would not care much.

Because she knows that things will change.

No matter how bad things are, they will be smoothed over sooner or later; no matter how good things are, your mood will return to calm.

Coming and going, everything has its own place...

After hearing these words, Maria looked at Shu deeply, paused for a moment, and then sighed softly.

"You are indeed... very different from her."

"Given her personality, she might even start making a scene and ask me to prove something..."

"she?"

Shu tilted her head, stopped, turned around and looked at Maria behind her in the moonlight.

It seemed that he was a little curious about the person Maria mentioned.

"..."

Maria didn't say much, but just looked at the millet in front of her calmly.

During the long silence, Shu was suddenly stunned.

Maria was a general who conquered evil spirits seven hundred years ago... And in that era, there were people related to me and others, and people Maria knew...

That 'she', could it be...

"age?"

Shu spoke, his words trembling and hesitant.

For all the members of the Sui family, the Sui, who is the mother of all of them, is an unavoidable nightmare...

"Ah."

Maria did not deny what Shu said. On the contrary, she openly admitted that she knew the...

This made Shu's feelings towards Maria even more subtle.

"Is your relationship...good?"

“…I think so.”

Maria nodded, not denying it.

And Shu also looked at Maria with a subtle expression.

"You are somewhat different from the legend."

"Ok?"

"In the legend, you were completely unable to accept the existence of giant beasts. Once you discovered a giant beast, you would try every possible means to kill it with all your strength. But now you..."

Shu said a few words, then looked at Maria in front of him with a calm expression, and couldn't help shaking his head.

The rumors are unbelievable!

Maria tilted her head.

“That’s not wrong…”

"Eh?"

"I used to be quick to attack a giant beast... Actually, I'm still pretty much the same now."

Maria shook her head, but her words were calm.

She had indeed changed a little... but they were very subtle.

She would not kill anything related to the giant beast as she did before, but she would not treat it too gently either.

"Then why don't you attack us?"

Shu was a little confused.

Maria just turned her head helplessly and looked at the silly girl.

"In this respect, you are a bit like her."

"Eh?"

Shu couldn't figure out whether Maria was praising her or scolding her, so she could only stand there in a daze.

Maria thought for a while and then gave her own answer.

"In my eyes, you're actually about the same as 20... To be more direct, in my eyes, you're about the same as 20's offspring."

“Almost…?”

When Shu heard this, his expression became a little subtle.

But after hesitating for a long time, she sighed.

This made Maria hesitate.

"You... don't like this name?"

"...Whether you like it or not, it's the truth, isn't it?"

Shu shook her head. She had no habit of denying facts.

"It's just... for us, the existence of the year-old is really special..."

"Ok?"

"We are all her incarnations..."

Shu raised his head and looked at the sky with a somewhat gloomy tone.

"But we are different from normal avatars... We don't have our own rights..."

"To be honest, even now, we still can't understand why she created us."
