The Social Life of the Supreme God

"Sorry, Li Ren. My sister always eats like this, wolfing down her food." Honglian smiled apologetically: "How about...you eat mine."

As she spoke, she picked up the only half piece of shaomai skin in her bowl and fed it to Li Ren's mouth.

"Hmm...ah? No, that's not necessary! You should keep it for yourself..." Li Ren quickly raised his hand to push the chopsticks back. At the same time, another thought emerged in his mind:
"Is Miss Honglian too enthusiastic towards me?"

He remembered that when he saw Honglian on the street last night, she was still that icy beauty with a frosty face and an aura that kept strangers away.

But at this moment, she was not reserved at all. She showed gentleness and thoughtfulness, just like the big sister next door.

The huge change in her attitude towards Li Ren is just like...

As if possessed.

Or perhaps she seemed to be influenced by some hidden power in Li Ren.

"What's wrong? What are you thinking about?" Seeing that Li Ren was still frowning and saying nothing, Honglian, who had already finished the steamed bun skin in two bites, tilted her head and asked with a blush on her face.

Seeing this, Li Ren decided not to hide it anymore.

He bluntly asked the question in his heart: "Ms. Honglian, there is something I am curious about..."

"Why are you so passionate about me?"

"Ah?" Honglian was stunned when she heard that. She repeated the question subconsciously: "...You asked me why I am so passionate about you? Am I passionate about you...?"

Then, her pupils suddenly contracted as if she suddenly realized something.

"No, no, I..." Honglian only uttered a few words and then stared blankly at Li Ren's face, as if thinking about something.

As she thought, she instinctively pursed her lips. Her beautiful light blue eyes also trembled slightly.

At this moment, Honglian looked completely shocked and terrified.

Her expression was comparable to a series of brilliant reactions in the scene where an office worker suddenly remembered that the gas at home was still on and the door was not locked when he squeezed into the subway.

Seeing Honglian's huge reaction to his words, Li Ren realized that something was wrong, so he asked tentatively: "Miss Honglian, are you... okay?"

Honglian didn't answer immediately after hearing this, but continued to stare at Li Ren blankly.

After a while, Honglian's expression gradually changed. She went from being warm and friendly at the beginning to becoming cold and serious.

She stared at him in silence for a long time, until her expression returned to her usual serious and cold expression. Finally, she slowly spoke: "Li Ren..."

This time, Honglian called Li Ren by his name instead of enthusiastically calling him "roommate brother".

"…Originally, today was a day off." Honglian frowned and said, "But now it seems that none of us can take a day off."

Honglian said as he moved closer: "We must, immediately, go to the committee again..."

"…There's something very wrong with you. I need to find a minister to give you a thorough checkup."

"Is there something wrong with me? Do I need to check again?" Upon hearing this, Li Ren frowned.

He had been in the committee all day yesterday.

If there were any major problems hidden in him, they should have been discovered by those powerful concept-level taboos.

"Yes, that's right." Honglian pondered and said, "Yesterday's examination was obviously not comprehensive enough. Because just now, I was on you..."

“Felt the power of ‘social’ empowerment.”

"Social power?" A sense of familiarity came into Li Ren's mind, but he did not immediately remember where he had heard of this power.

"Yes, it is a conceptual power." Honglian paused: "A power that should only belong to Minister Ren."

"Minister Ren..." Li Ren repeated. He gradually recalled the information about the ministers that Qing Cai had briefly told him yesterday: "...The one you are talking about. Is he the brother named Ren Li who happened to disappear recently?"

Hearing that Li Ren actually called the only Level 7 Taboo in the world "brother", Honglian looked at him meaningfully and said, "Yes, it's him."

Honglian paused for half a second and continued, "Just now, when you asked me 'why I am so passionate about you', I suddenly realized..."

"…Every time I see your face, I feel an unusual familiarity. It's just like…" Honglian said with lingering fear: "Subconsciously, I regard you as a family member."

Honglian finished speaking and glanced at Karin across the table. At this time, the younger sister was still chewing her breakfast obediently.

"This situation only happened when I saw Minister Ren in the past." Honglian continued, "So I concluded that the power of 'social power' appeared in you."

After listening to Honglian's explanation, Li Renshi was silent and thought for a few seconds.

Then he slowly said: "You mean..."

“…Is there some kind of connection between me and the missing Renri?”

"Yes, there is such a possibility." Honglian nodded: "At this time when Minister Ren disappeared inexplicably and the committee was at its weakest, you actually had the power that should have belonged to him. Perhaps..."

“…This is our important clue to finding Minister Ren.”

Honglian stood up first as she spoke: "So I regret to inform you that today's vacation...is over."

As she spoke, she waved to her sister across the table, "Karen, get ready. We're going out."

As soon as these words came out, my sister, who had just finished breakfast, jumped up from her chair excitedly, like an excited big dog who just saw her owner pick up the leash.

Then with a "pop" sound, the whole piece of sister was stuck to Honglian's face.

"Ah, this..." Li Ren sighed in his heart.

At the same time, he saw that the slime-like sister that wrapped around Honglian's head began to melt rapidly like ice and snow. In just two blinks of an eye, she completely disappeared.

After doing all this, Honglian slowly opened her eyes.

When she saw Li Renzheng's expression of wanting to say something but not being able to, she couldn't help but jokingly asked, "Why? Are you curious about where Karen went?"

Honglian said as she pulled off the strap on her right shoulder, revealing her well-defined shoulders: "Sister, come out and say hello."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Ren saw a slender red tentacle breaking out of Honglian's right shoulder.

Then the tentacle moved towards Li Ren as if it had vision, and began waving back and forth enthusiastically.

"As you can see. When she goes out on weekdays, Kallen stays in my body..." Honglian explained: "...so as not to scare ordinary people."

The tentacles on Honglian's shoulders seemed to understand her words and immediately drooped down in frustration, perhaps remembering something unhappy.

As an elder sister, Honglian naturally noticed her sister's lost mood.

But she didn't say much. Instead, she stared silently at the wall behind Li Ren, as if there was something there.

After a moment, she continued, "Minister Bo has already conveyed what happened here to the committee."

“…Hurry up and pack up. A minister is waiting for you.”

"Yes." Li Ren nodded, and then asked out of curiosity: "By the way, which minister is waiting for me..."

"…Jiang Ye? Tu Ling? Or Huang Qin?"

"No, neither." Honglian shook her head: "I'm going to take you to the control department..."

"…It's the head of the control department, waiting for you." (End of this chapter)
