Mechanical Alchemist

In the dining room of the Rose Manor, the splendid crystal lamps illuminated a scene of a warm family dinner.

On the silver plates, large chunks of roasted meat were fragrant and crisply golden. Since Yekaterina became the empress, the chefs at home had been replaced with those from the royal court, making the food exquisite and delicious.

Su Lun found the taste to his liking, his appetite growing.

Yekaterina, sitting beside him, ate slowly in small bites, like a proper wife, occasionally showing a tender smile that completely hid the imperious demeanor she displayed outside as the empress.

Vivian, the girl who was seeing her father for the first time, clung to the two of them.

Because the two of them had to discuss highly classified matters, there were no other people in the dining room.

As Su Lun was cutting his meat with knife and fork, he said, "After this great war, I will have to go to the Planar Passage. If all goes well, I'll probably stay in the Divine Realms for a long time."

Listening to him, Yekaterina's beautiful face showed little surprise, "Hmm. Mr. Jing has already told me about the plan."

After a pause, she added, "Tomorrow, I will lead the Imperial Elite Legion into battle myself. I should be able to accompany you on part of your journey."

Upon hearing this, Su Lun looked up at her and asked, "Are you going to lead the charge yourself?"

The battle was fraught with great risk, with even eighth and ninth-order professionals facing a high chance of death.

As the Imperial Empress with governance capabilities evident to the entire Alchemical Empire, Su Lun felt she would be better off remaining in the rear.

Yekaterina replied slowly but firmly, "Hmm. If we lose this battle, the Empire would cease to exist, and whether I remain the empress or not would be meaningless. If we win, even if I fall in battle, the Empire's systems have been perfected and will continue to operate well without me."

Her tone was very calm, as if she had already prepared herself to die for her civilization.

Su Lun, hearing this, narrowed his eyes slightly.

Before he could say anything, Yekaterina continued, "Since it's a decisive battle, we might as well go all out. My leading the charge will rally all the Empire's high-warriors and boost morale. Besides, my abilities are not known to the enemy and are better suited for legion warfare, which will also reduce some of the losses for the Imperial Legion."

"..."

Su Lun did not speak.

The reasoning was clear.

It's like a game of chess, where some pieces guard the "king."

If Yekaterina stays in Lingdun, at least twenty percent of the top combat power of the Alchemical Empire would remain there to protect her, the empress.

But if she led the charge herself, then all the combat power could be concentrated to break the enemy together.

Moreover, although others were unaware of Yekaterina's strength, he was very clear about it; the "Astrologist" class was indeed best suited for large-scale legion warfare. And from what he sensed, Su Lun knew she was very strong now.

While speaking, Yekaterina smiled gently, added more vegetables to Vivian's plate, and said tenderly, "Eat more vegetables."

"Hmm."

Vivian showed an obedient smile.

The family of three at the dinner table was harmoniously joyful.

...

Su Lun did not say much more. He was well aware that Yekaterina was a person of great ambition, and he had no need to add to the decisions she made.

The two of them exchanged thoughts calmly, then talked about everyday matters.

Despite not having seen each other for several years, there was no awkwardness; they conversed like good friends who could talk about anything.

The food was delicious, and Su Lun ate more than usual, asking while he ate, "By the way, how does it feel to be the empress?"

Most people probably wouldn't dare to ask such a question.

Listening to him, Yekaterina did not shy away from discussing with Su Lun, "Hmm... how to put it..."

After a moment of thought, she added, "Before, I wanted to grasp absolute power, establish a powerful Alchemical Empire, and let the glory of alchemy civilization shine again. Now, I've gradually achieved my past goals. Hmm... Overall, it's not bad, quite fulfilling."

Su Lun listened with a slight smile, taking it as a genuine admission.

The real thoughts of a supreme Empress.

Ekaterina also smiled faintly at the corners of her mouth, showing none of the airs of an empress in his presence, and said, "But the pressure is quite significant. Every day it's either military strategy meetings at the army headquarters or discussing civil construction in parliament with the various ministers. Even my reading time has been squeezed, taking away much of the joy."

Listening to this slightly complaining tone, Su Lun's brows twitched, and he soon curved his lips into a smile, "Being an emperor isn't fun, huh?"

Aside from Su Lun, Ekaterina really had no one else to share these words with, and as if opening a floodgate, she continued, "There are plenty of joyless matters. Being an emperor often means you can't just do as you please. There are records of the emperor's words and actions kept by an attendant, I must maintain my dignity at all times, and there are various tedious royal ceremonies that consume a lot of time. While I've abolished many, there are things that have been passed down for countless years that must still be done..."

Su Lun laughed softly as he heard these palace secrets.

He had realized being an emperor wasn't as easy as it seemed.

As they spoke, Ekaterina also asked, "By the way, didn't you say you went to a different plane? You didn't even come to tell me... what, scared to see me?"

Looking at the sly smile on her brow, Su Lun suddenly felt as though he was seeing the young Miss from the Lance family he once knew, not the dignified and solemn Empress Ekaterina.

He shrugged his shoulders, unsure of how to respond, only saying, "I'm here now."

Ekaterina didn't say much more, just smiled faintly, "Not too late still."

Unsure of how to continue, Su Lun changed the topic, "I've read 'Sunflower Windmill,' it was great."

"Thanks for the compliment. After all, you're the only reader of that collection of poems."

Ekaterina smiled radiantly.

Her bright blue eyes shimmered as she beamed with joy, suddenly adding, "Did you remember Katyusha at all?"

Nowadays, Su Lun didn't avoid the question and replied directly, "Yes. I've been thinking about that girl."

"Oh?"

Ekaterina's tone inexplicably became innocent and cheerful, for a moment it was as if two shadows overlapped, "Katyusha probably often thinks of that Mr. Su Lun too..."

The two exchanged a smile.

Just then, this delicate atmosphere was interrupted.

Ekaterina was about to say something more when her expression subtly changed.

Su Lun asked, "What's wrong?"

Ekaterina said calmly, "Survivors from the Divine Sect have appeared; they're likely to take action tonight."

Su Lun showed no surprise, "Oh? The Divine Sect is still active?"

Ekaterina replied, "Yes. Faith is hard to eradicate. We've purged it many times before, but remnants still persist. Moreover, with the recent invasive efforts from the Divine Realm, a group of believers has infiltrated Luying."

As she spoke, she added, "I've already been the target of three assassination attempts. They're not regular troops but magic mercenaries out to collect the bounty on this empress."

Hearing this, Su Lun didn't show any surprise.

Apart from the imperial legions, the Divine Realm also employed a large number of mercenaries. The Ascieden Empire had suffered heavy casualties before, and now that the three empires were attacking together, all sorts of riffraff had joined the fray.

The battlefield was never short of mercenaries willing to exchange their lives for coin.

They might not be good at group warfare, but they were perfect for small squad maneuvers and various assassinations.

Ekaterina wasn't panicked in the least and continued, "I just received intelligence that the ninth-rank magic mercenary identified by military intelligence has appeared; I've already sent March to handle it. However, the enemy has shown their hand as soon as I left the palace, likely a diversion tactic."

She had deliberately shifted away 'Black JOKER' March Creton, the deputy commander of the intelligence agency guarding the manor, to attract the assassins.

Continuing, she glanced at Su Lun, "I wasn't so sure before, but now that you're here, it's perfect. After all, the divination was very vague. I suspect there is not only that ninth-rank Sage of Law among the assassins but possibly also a 'demigod.' If that's the case, I'm not certain I can capture them."

"Hmm."

Su Lun's eyes narrowed slightly upon hearing these words, and a trace of cold light flashed through his gaze.

His current range of perception already covered several miles, and he had sensed a very powerful presence stealthily infiltrating the streets of Lingdun City.

That person obviously had high-level stealth abilities since he hadn't triggered any magical restraints.

The two people at the dining table remained calm.

Vivian, that girl, also ate her meal with focus on her own.

It was then that faint dark red threads started to spread into Su Lun's eyes.

These were strands of law invisible to the naked eye, which meant the newcomer was definitely a Magic God.

Su Lun acted as if he hadn't noticed anything, continuing to eat his grilled meat with relish, as always.

Although Yekaterina remained motionless by his side, her eyes gradually took on a deep profundity. When she looked again, her two blue pupils were already a dazzling starry sky.

The Assassin's stealth technique was very clever, managing to enter the dining room without setting off the estate's magical restraints.

The mercenaries of the celestial domain might not have access to the intelligence of the three great Empires' regular armies, and this Assassin probably thought he had gone undetected, already silently concentrating his efforts.

What he didn't know was that everything was clear in Su Lun's eyes.

He watched the figure that was using the power of the law to hide in the void silently enter, muttering to himself, "[S-026 Plaguebearer], so it's a Pestilence Mage. Tch tch, quite a rare talent..."

It was also the first time he had seen the legendary talent that could condense the divine attribute of [Plague], interesting him enough to take a few extra glances.

He did not take action.

Because he knew that his old friend beside him seemed to not need his help.

And sure enough!

Just as the Assassin approached the dining table and was about to reveal his killing intent, a layer of nebula shimmered around Yekaterina's figure, revealing the second form of [Starry Sky Patronage].

At the same time, she exclaimed, "Domain - Starry Sky Sanctuary!"

In that instant, the scenery around the dining room abruptly changed, the galaxy flowed, and in the blink of an eye, the three of them were traversing the boundless starry space.

Su Lun was one of the very few who had seen her domain. But the starry domain of a few years ago was still nascent, and now, even with his broad vision, he was shocked, thinking, "Her domain really has become a complete world now, huh..."

He still did not act, but simply shifted slightly to shield the little girl beside him.

Vivian's eyes widened in wonder, her face full of curiosity, "Wow... Is Mommy going to pick stars for Vivian again~"

Su Lun found this amusing.

In ordinary families, picking the stars would be inconceivable; in this family, it was indeed possible.

Some children are born to witness the pinnacle scenery of the world.

It was only now that Su Lun understood Mr. Jing, that easy grace in dealing with matters, cultivated from a young environment.

...

The Assassin apparently realized that he had been discovered too, but at this distance, whether he had been discovered or not didn't matter anymore, he would have to make a move either way.

Normally, a Magic God would not be confined by the domain of a ninth-rank professional.

But Yekaterina's "Starry Sky Sanctuary" was too special, leaving even this Magic God Assassin puzzled as to how to escape.

Su Lun also had to use the second form of the All-knowing Eye for a moment to understand it.

Was it actually drawing upon the power of the heavenly bodies?

The entire city of Lingdun seemed like a super massive alchemical array, attracting the power of innumerable stars to converge upon her alone.

Su Lun realized where her confidence came from, knowing full-well that there were followers of the Heavenly God in Lingdun, yet she had lured the enemy in with herself.

It could be said with great responsibility that in Lingdun, it was almost impossible for anyone below the level of a god to kill her!

She had just recently advanced to the ninth rank, with insufficient comprehension of the rules, sufficient to kill those of the ninth rank, but not quite enough to defeat a demigod.

The assassin had not yet figured out what was happening before his form became visible within her domain.

This was a figure wearing a black cloak, faint and elusive, with a dark red glow over his skin, reminiscent of pus and blood, upon the expansion of the plague sanctuary.

Suddenly, both sides engaged in combat.

The incantations of the Plague God of Law formed instantly, and on his exposed arms appeared what looked like smallpox virus lesions, densely packed like goosebumps, making one's scalp tingle. It wasn't just physical mutations; the sanctuary around him also emitted a dizzying, nauseating stench. He was like a carrier of viruses, as if all diseases were concentrated on his body.

Su Lun frowned slightly as he watched. He didn't dwell on whether this guy was strong or not; it was seriously disgusting regardless.

If it came to close combat, one touch of his body might burst into a pool of concentrated plague.

And if the battle was at range, the longer it went on, the more likely this space would be contaminated.

It was like stepping on a toad, careful not to get splashed with its poisonous fluid, even as you crushed it.

For Su Lun to kill him, he'd have to put in a great deal of effort.

However, Yekaterina faced this Mage, her demeanor and methods not the least bit inferior.

She pinched the sorcerer's seal with her left hand and cried out, "Astrological Alchemy: Gravitational Attraction!"

In an instant, the stars in the sky turned into magnets, with gravity suddenly converging in her palm.

Even a demigod would lurch toward her hand, overwhelmed by this terrifying gravitational pull.

The moment they clashed, the assassin's heart shook violently, "What a terrifying force!"

The information he had received placed the Emperor of this alchemical realm at most a power level of the eighth rank.

However, nobody could have imagined that this Empress, with hardly any battle achievements known, possessed the power of a demigod!

But even if the target of assassination turned out to be far stronger than expected, the assassin knew he had no way out. Not just because of the Empress who controlled the power of the stars, his peripheral vision also caught a glimpse of the man observing the battle from a distance, and he felt a foreboding sense of dread. The man's composure was so profound that it even made a demigod's heart skip a beat!

However, this wasn't the time to be thinking about other things.

As the assassin's body was being pulled in, his mouth formed a spell instantly, and he cried out, "Forbidden Spell·Pestilence Poison Puppet!"

As he spoke, he spewed two globules of acid, with magical power forming two massive acid giants that sizzled and corroded the air around them.

If the star power continued to attract, it would assuredly pull in the two acid giants first.

However, Yekaterina's crystal eyes hardened, and with her right hand, she formed another seal, "Astrological Alchemy: Gravitational Repulsion!"

The moment the sorcerer's seal was completed, the two previously fast-approaching acid giants were suddenly shoved away by a repulsive force, two opposing powers acting upon the same object.

"Plop!"

"Plop!"

Like two exploding balloons, the two constructs formed from the eighth-level forbidden spell instantly burst into a cloud of noxious green fluid.

However, seeing his magic shattered, the assassin was not surprised, but instead, his eyes turned cold.

This was what made Plague Mages so troublesome; regardless of whether the spell succeeded, once they cast it, various toxins in the air would amplify their sanctuary.

The moment the two giants were destroyed, the sanctuary swirling around him strengthened threefold, with visible signs of the surrounding void being corroded and warped.

Yekaterina grasped with one hand, and the gravitational force of the surrounding stars surged multiple times over.

The assassin's body endured immense pressure, pustules on his skin bursting one after another, oozing out viscous fluids.

Though he appeared disheveled, his momentum grew increasingly terrifying.

From a human being, he transformed into a plague monster.

He cackled as he chanted the final magic spell and exclaimed, "Divine Arts·Origin of the Plague!"

It was this magic that, instead of being limited by the vast expanse of the starry sky, turned it into the main battlefield for the virus to rampage.

....

From afar, Su Lun watched with a glint of cold light in his eyes, ready to make a move at any moment.

The assassin knew he was possibly in danger today, and his use of Divine Arts that operated on a level of rules, was something not just any ninth-tier could withstand.

However, Yekaterina had still not planned to call for help.

If she were facing the enemy alone, she might have considered whether, after using the Secret Technique and not killing the foe, she would be unable to cope.

But now with Su Lun present to bolster the situation, she could go all out without any worries!

With a demigod ramping up his power, Yekaterina naturally could no longer hide her capabilities.

As the poisonous clouds enveloped her, she hastily retreated, and even so, her star nebula gauze dress began to corrode with a sizzling noise.

While retreating, the sorcerer's seals in her hands also rapidly shifted, causing the countless stars in the sky to shine ever brighter.

Seeing from afar the terrifying power of the stars converging from all directions, Su Lun was also astonished, "Is she doing...?"

The power of the converging stars had already surpassed the energy fluctuation level of the ninth tier and was condensing into an abnormal form in her hands.

The density continued to increase.

Through the All-knowing Eye, Su Lun saw a black dot, the size of a sesame seed, appear in her palms.

Yet this tiny dot was perhaps as heavy as a hundred thousand mountains combined.

And the black point was still growing.

Su Lun murmured to himself, "She's going to use that technique, isn't she..."

He had seen this move before, when, then at sixth tier, Yekaterina barely managed to use it while killing Rasputin.

Now at ninth tier, it truly possessed the majesty of divine arts!

Yekaterina dodged the plague magic while rapidly changing the sorcerer's seals, gathering the power of the stars and continuously compressing it.

In a blink of an eye, the sesame-sized black dot in her palm coalesced into a fist-sized black hole, twisting the space around it completely.

Even Su Lun, observing from a distance, winced.

Even with his current pinnacle understanding of space law, the sight of that twisted space inexplicably made his heart quiver.

A celestial body dense enough to warp light seemed beyond human control.

By that time, sweat had begun to form on Yekaterina's forehead, clearly indicating that the concentration of the formula had reached the limits her body could withstand.

Controlling the collapsing celestial body in her palm, she suddenly cried out, "Astrological Alchemy: Black Hole!"

With the spell complete, Yekaterina stopped dodging.

She thrust the black hole in her hands towards the imposing plague magic head-on.

What happened next was astounding!

Everything around, including the toxic gases and plague, could no longer harm her; anything that came close was bizarrely absorbed by the black hole's mysterious suction force.

The Plague God of Law watched as his expression turned grim.

For the first time, he, a demigod, faced an opponent a tier and a half below him and felt the threat of death.

And this "Black Hole Formula" was like a BUG, capable of absorbing everything.

How could he fight back against this method?

"Thud!"

"Thud!"

"Thud!"

Two figures clashed desperately amidst the stars.

All sorts of powerful magic and forbidden spells were unleashed.

However, Yekaterina absorbed them all with a single black hole spell.

...

Su Lun, seeing this, completely relaxed, a smile curling up the corners of his mouth.

With Yekaterina using this move, she could not lose, even if she was not victorious.

With just this one move, she had made up the gap between their tiers.

But Su Lun also saw that while Yekaterina's Black Hole Formula seemed without solution, it actually had a flaw.

That is, the energy absorbed by her black hole also placed a burden on her own body, having an upper limit for bearing it.

The consumption was also incredibly high.

You could say, the longer the fight went on, the less favorable it was for Yekaterina.

However, it looked like the Plague God of Law was not going to see through it.

Or perhaps he would not live long enough to see through it.

Yekaterina would not give the enemy a chance.

Nor would Su Lun.

But he also realized that Yekaterina seemed to want to test her moves on this demigod.

After all, she was the emperor, and she didn't have the opportunity to find such enemies to go all out against every day. Neither did she have such a good opportunity with someone to hold the line.

Therefore, Su Lun had not joined in the fight but remained an onlooker.

The two of them clashed in the starry sky for hundreds of rounds.

Yekaterina's mastery over various astrological techniques became more and more refined in her hands.

But after all, the enemy was a demigod, so to defeat him alone, Yekaterina was still somewhat lacking.

Seeing the right moment, Su Lun casually lent a hand to control the situation for a moment, and Yekaterina threw the black hole in her hand, breaking through the Plague God of Law's sacred domain and bisecting his body.

The battle ended.

In the starry sky, Su Lun quickly rushed over to stitch the severed body back together.

Such an intact corpse was excellent material for making wax figures.

He also chose not to harvest the soul but instead preserved it with a rune umbrella.

Having witnessed the capabilities of the Plague God of Law, Su Lun could already imagine the scene of turning him into a wax figure and throwing it into the million-strong legions of the celestial plane.

This thing was absolutely a viral bomb, a bane to whoever it touched.

...

"Hu... hu..."

The battle ended, and Ekaterina was gasping for air.

The fight had been a heavy burden on her, and her complexion had turned somewhat pale.

Watching Su Lun stitching up the corpses, a smile flickered across Ekaterina's beautiful eyes. It was just then she truly understood the extent of how high her old friend had risen.

Yet, the stronger Su Lun became, the happier she felt from the bottom of her heart.

As the boiling spiritual power within her calmed down, she asked, "Su Lun, did you help me check if there are any weaknesses in my domain?"

It's estimated that in the alchemical plane, you couldn't find anyone who could answer that question.

If there were any such person, it would probably only be the one in front of her now.

Su Lun looked at her, then around at the starry sky, and said, "You have already mastered 'the World'; this starry sky domain is already perfect without any flaw that humans can find."

In fact, when he had seen the 'Sunflower Windmill', he knew that Ekaterina had mastered this power.

Even now, looking at the starry sky, not even the All-knowing Eye could find any major issues.

Demigods couldn't trap her.

But below the level of demigods, unless she was killed, there was no coming out.

This was a very special world.

Ekaterina, through the 'Poetry', which directly connects to the demigod rules, had grasped 'the World'.

Demigods?

Right after Su Lun spoke, he seemed to think of something, and then said, "Well... if I really have to mention something that could be perfected, I've recently come into contact with a new power that might inspire you..."

Ekaterina's eyebrows perked up, showing significant interest, "Oh?"

She was the emperor of the United Empire and, in theory, had touched the pinnacle secrets of the plane. Even if there were things she didn't understand, she should have at least heard of them.

But she hadn't imagined that her Starry Sky Sanctuary could still be improved.

Since it was not an outsider, Su Lun spoke frankly, "It is a 'dark rule'... a special existence. It's a domain that even typical demigods can't access."

Listening, Ekaterina's gaze instantly turned stern, and she looked straight ahead.

Su Lun continued, "It's an unknown realm that Sir Isaac found. However, this 'dark rule' cannot be observed by any known methods thus far, and it is instantly annihilated when encountering the regular rule. I can't even describe to you what it really is."

Ekaterina's eyes shimmered, and she asked, "Have you mastered that power?"

Since it was the great decider, of course, she guessed that Dawn must have had some means to slay gods, especially since Mr. Jing was Sir Isaac's daughter.

But those methods couldn't be discussed in detail, lest the gods become aware.

Su Lun nodded, "Yes."

Unseen and intangible; naturally, it couldn't be described.

He used his spiritual power to convey a message, roughly describing to her what the concept of that entirely opposite realm to the real world might be.

But even though Ekaterina was extraordinarily intelligent, she was still befuddled after listening to the explanation.

Su Lun thought about it, then said, "This Starry Sky Sanctuary is your domain. I'm going to use it for a moment; see if you can perceive anything."

Ekaterina nodded, "Okay."

Talking playfully, Su Lun formed the sorcerer's seals with his hand and stretched it out.

It seemed like nothing had happened, no change at all.

But only he knew that his hand was surrounded by a special dark energy ripple.

He had tried before, even Mr. Jing and thousands like him could not perceive it at all.

He thought Ekaterina would be the same, but just as the power coalesced, she exclaimed in surprise, "I can sense it!"

Su Lun was pleased, "Oh?"

However, Ekaterina frowned and said, "But... it's something I completely fail to understand. I have detected a mysterious force that obliterated some things within my domain. It's like light being sucked into a black hole, disappearing in an instant."

Su Lun was quite surprised and laughed, "You are the only one who can sense the 'dark rules'."

But the moment he thought of that black hole, he suddenly had an idea—could it be that beneath the black hole lies the "Dark World" Sir Isaac hypothesized?

Ekaterina could use that power but could not understand it.

Isn't this just like himself?

He could wield the "God Slayer," but also did not understand the dark rules.

Ekaterina was also delighted, her eyes sparkling with excitement, as if her thoughts were whirling swiftly.

After pondering for a moment, she added, "Is this the counter to divine secrets? I think I've got some ideas!"

Listening, Su Lun was also filled with joy, "Really?"

He had thought that after he merged with the "God Profaner," these dark rules would become the unique pinnacle of mankind.

If a mortal could master it, wouldn't it mean that the Alchemical Plane would have another powerful force to pass down through legacy?

"Mm."

Ekaterina nodded earnestly and said, "I've remembered the feeling. It may take a very long time to understand. I feel that after I truly master that power, my world will be truly complete!"

Su Lun naturally understood that the dark rules could not be comprehended in a short time; even now, after such long research, he had just a trivial outcome.

He said, "There's no rush for this. Let's go out. The guards are probably quite anxious."

Ekaterina's expression became serious, "Okay!"

...

There was a battle to the north of Lingdun City, but it soon subsided; the ninth-tier Sage of Law who was making decoy moves was quickly surrounded and killed by the intelligence department.

The secret stronghold of the remnant believers of the Heavenly God Plane was also eradicated once again.

The news that Rose Manor had been attacked made little impact. No one would have thought that a demigod assassin had come and that the manor suffered no damage at all. The shadow guards also left the mansion quietly.

The manor returned to its peace.

It was as if nothing had happened at all.

Su Lun released Vivian from the little void realm; the girl was sleepy as it was her bedtime, so she was taken to her bedroom by her nanny.

Despite the slight interlude of an assassination, it seemed not to affect the atmosphere of the reunion.

They continued to talk, discussing literature, cultivation, life, and the girl... There seemed to be too many topics to cover.

Before they knew it, the moon had climbed above the treetops.

Suddenly, the careful inquiry of the maid Jessica came from outside the study.

"Miss, the bathwater is ready. Are you and the gentleman preparing to bathe?"

It was just like during that period in the past, this time of the evening was for bathing and rest.

Hearing this, Ekaterina was in no hurry to respond. Instead, she turned to look at Su Lun, smiled slightly, and asked, "Are you staying at the manor tonight?"

Su Lun looked at her and gladly said, "Yes, I would like that."
