Su Rui followed Shizuka Hiratsuka's gaze, which landed slightly above his abdomen, where his clothes were stained with some blood.
Judging by the tear in his clothes, it seemed that when the black cat attacked, Su Rui hadn't completely dodged, and his skin had been slightly grazed.
However, as Su Rui said, it was just a minor injury. When Shizuka Hiratsuka anxiously pulled open Su Rui's clothes, looking at his wound and wanting to bandage him, she was surprised to find:
"Why is the wound so small?"
"I told you, it's just a minor injury."
Su Rui glanced at the two Yukinoshita sisters who had just retrieved the medical kit from the bedroom and were walking over together, holding it. He then looked at the small wound on himself, which could be covered by a band-aid, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"What's so funny?! You were lucky this time to only get such a small injury. What if you're not so lucky next time?"
"My strength ensures I won't get injured."
Su Rui retorted indifferently. In reality, his skin could almost block shots from small-caliber and even rifle bullets, which Su Rui had tested.
What's more, that was from a previous test; Su Rui's physical strength was even greater now than before.
Looking at the two Yukinoshita sisters, who, after bringing the medical kit, were somewhat bewildered and at a loss upon seeing his small wound, Su Rui raised his hand to Shizuka Hiratsuka, and a golden light ignited:
"Watch closely, this is just a minor injury."
As the golden light took effect, the band-aid-sized wound rapidly healed. Aside from some bloodstains remaining on his clothes, Su Rui now looked perfectly fine.
In reality, if it weren't for the formidable strength of this vengeful black cat, even ordinary evil spirits, no matter how numerous, wouldn't be able to inflict any harm on Su Rui as he was now.
Glancing at Yukinoshita Haruno and Yukino Yukinoshita, who were still bewildered and had opened their alluring lips in surprise after seeing his healing magic, Su Rui nodded to them:
"Alright, the problem has been resolved. Let's see what reward you can offer me? The magical artifact you mentioned earlier, it had better be real."
Su Rui turned his gaze to the Yukinoshita sisters, but Shizuka Hiratsuka was still looking at his skin. After all, it had been exposed due to examining the wound, and Shizuka Hiratsuka wanted to take this opportunity to properly admire Su Rui's physique.
Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Shizuka Hiratsuka turned and took the medical kit from Yukinoshita Haruno's hand, found a bandage inside, and began to bandage Su Rui.
"What are you doing? My injury is already healed."
"So what? Let me have some fun. I've never tried bandaging someone before."
Shizuka Hiratsuka seemed to have thought of something, as she smiled and leaned close to Su Rui. Disregarding his resistance, she took the bandage and tried to wrap him.
Su Rui ignored the playful Shizuka Hiratsuka and turned his gaze to Yukinoshita Haruno opposite him.
At this moment, the beautiful black-haired woman, who had just recovered from her daze, quickly offered Su Rui a gentle and friendly smile, bowing deeply:
"Thank you for saving my sister. Please wait a moment. The amulet on Yukino is the magical artifact I mentioned."
Saying this, Yukinoshita Haruno gently turned to Yukino Yukinoshita and whispered something into her sister's ear.
But with Su Rui's physical prowess, out of curiosity, he unintentionally overheard her words:
"Alright, Yukino, take out your amulet and give it to our savior as a reward, okay? Otherwise, I, your sister, will have to become the reward myself."
Su Rui remained expressionless, pretending he hadn't heard Yukinoshita Haruno's words. He watched as Yukino Yukinoshita glared at her, then took a wooden amulet from her chest, and shyly approached Su Rui to hand it to him.
"Thank you very much for your help. This is all I have to offer as a reward. However, if you want money as a reward, my sister should be able to fulfill your needs."
"I don't need money as a reward."
Taking the amulet, which still retained the girl's warmth, from Yukino Yukinoshita's hand, Su Rui glanced at it. Shizuka Hiratsuka also leaned over, curiously examining it up and down, and asked Su Rui:
"How is it? Is it a very powerful magical artifact?"
"No, it's just an amulet infused with spiritual power, and not much spiritual power at that."
Su Rui casually put the amulet away. Although this kind of amulet was even less significant to him than the spiritual power he casually infused into Yukinoshita Haruno, not accepting a reward after helping would make him seem cheap, wouldn't it?
Shizuka Hiratsuka nodded, not pressing further, nor did she mention the amulet Su Rui intended to give her. Although she was usually very straightforward, Shizuka Hiratsuka was actually quite knowledgeable about social etiquette.
However, it would have been even better if she hadn't tried to bandage Su Rui's eyes.
Su Rui impatiently raised a hand to block Shizuka Hiratsuka's hand, looking at her displeasedly:
"Alright, I wasn't even injured. Why are you bandaging my eyes?"
"But it looks so interesting! Just bear with me for a bit, okay? We can take it off later."
Shizuka Hiratsuka showed a pitiful, pleading expression. It was hard to imagine how this older female teacher could shamelessly display such an expression and tone in front of her two students.
Su Rui was silent for a moment, then reluctantly nodded: "Alright."
Then, Su Rui sat on the apartment's sofa, enduring Shizuka Hiratsuka's haphazard ministrations, and passing the time by looking at his phone.
Then, suddenly remembering that there was a room across from this apartment that was also affected by resentment, Su Rui looked up and reminded the Yukinoshita sisters, who were making tea and preparing snacks:
"Oh, right, the resident across from Yukino Yukinoshita was also affected by the resentment. I've already eliminated the resentment, so the person inside should be fine now, but to be safe, you'd best go and check."
"Okay, I'll call the administrator right away."
Yukinoshita Haruno spoke before her sister, pulling out her phone. Yukino Yukinoshita, next to her, looked at her sister with a surprised and somewhat annoyed expression, then a look of dissatisfaction as if she knew her sister would do that.
Su Rui, with his excellent hearing, noticed Yukino Yukinoshita's soft murmur:
"How does my sister have the apartment manager's number? She must be trying to monitor me again."
Then, the girl said nothing more, only placing the snacks and tea in front of Su Rui and Shizuka Hiratsuka, who was busy with Su Rui, while Yukinoshita Haruno was on the phone:
"Please enjoy."
"Oh~ Yukino, don't be nervous. Su Rui is very nice. You should sit down and rest too. You must have been frightened after being possessed by the vengeful spirit, right?"
This was said by Shizuka Hiratsuka, but Su Rui had no objections; to him, it was just a minor matter.
