Looking at the arrangement in front of him and then glancing at Little Snow standing to the side, Wen Yu nodded and managed a faint smile.
"Thank you so much."
Perhaps seeing Wen Yu's somewhat forced smile, Little Snow casually brushed her hands over her freshly changed outfit and nodded.
"It's nothing; I should be the one to apologize for taking the liberty to rearrange your room."
"By the way, let's eat first. Little Snow's cooking is really good!"
Ye Nan's wife seemed to sense the tension in the atmosphere and spoke up, then tugged at Wen Yu's sleeve.
"Let's eat first."
...
The meal passed quickly. With Wen Yu's jokes and antics, he didn't let Ye Nan's children notice the awkward atmosphere at the table.
After Ye Nan's wife and children left, Wen Yu pointed to the sofa next to him, signaling Little Snow to sit down.
"Do you still remember our agreement?"
Little Snow hesitated for a moment, then sat on the sofa and nodded.
"I need to repeat it: don't disturb me!!! I hope you can remember that, actually, if it weren't for the woman and child next door, I would really kill you!"
"Please don't joke about your life."
As Little Snow looked into Wen Yu's serious eyes, after a moment, she suddenly smiled.
"I understand, you're so serious..."
Before she could finish her sentence, a half-meter-long handgun was already pressed against Little Snow's forehead.
Seeing Wen Yu holding the gun, Little Snow slowly raised her hands.
Then, she began to fiddle with the teapot.
"You are very guarded!"
At this moment, Little Snow no longer had her usual smile, and her tone revealed a serious flavor.
"When we first met, I was indeed testing you; it was an order given to me by the war god to observe your strength."
"Actually, there’s nothing much to observe. I haven't seen your spirit pet in full, and as a fellow soul master, I believe your strength must be greater than the lord of war. A single Simba shouldn’t be a problem for you, even if it evolves into a tier 4 mutated beast."
As Little Snow spoke, she skillfully brewed tea and warmed the cups.
"However, this order was not mandatory; I have not received any professional training in this area. Moreover, my test this morning was quite basic and must have annoyed you."
"So after you left, I tidied up your house a bit. Since you want to live here for a while, I thought your living space should reflect a semblance of daily life. It was also a way to make up for the inconvenience."
"Perhaps I’m too clumsy and couldn’t handle these small matters, causing more trouble instead."
"If you really got angry, I promise not to disturb you again. This cup of tea is my apology!"
After Little Snow finished, she smiled again, respectfully holding up the teacup and offering it to Wen Yu.
Wen Yu, holding the gun, examined Little Snow seriously for a few moments and slowly nodded.
He took the teacup and drank it in one gulp.
"I accept your apology, but you must know, there will be no next time! Never again!"
"Now, you can leave!"
"Okay."
Little Snow finally restored a bit of her normal demeanor, modestly nodded, and slowly walked out of Wen Yu's room.
After a while, Wen Yu put away his gun and took another look at the arrangement in the house.
"Not bad."
A voice of a star slowly emerged.
"Yeah, not bad."
...
In the afternoon, after Ye Nan returned, he visited Wen Yu's room once.
Ye Nan felt a bit wary of the new resident, but more than that, he felt fear.
Wen Yu reassured him, and after clearly informing Ye Nan that he and the soldiers would leave in a few days, Ye Nan finally relaxed. He even invited Wen Yu to have dinner together.
Dinner was excellent.
The main reason was that Little Snow was also invited by Ye Nan's wife.
Being a strong member of the military, Little Snow had quite a bit of supplies in her Spatial Ring, and the variety of dishes allowed Wen Yu to feast heartily.
Moreover, the personnel Little Snow brought along had already located Simba's position.
After scheduling the time to act the next day, Wen Yu returned to his room and went to bed early.
