Chapter 51: The Real World
Su Xiuyu was slightly surprised by Uzumaki Mito's calm reaction. "So, you're not surprised at all that I'm from another world?"
Mito chuckled softly, her gaze steady. "Did you really think your fiancée wouldn't notice? I just never confronted you about it because I knew you had your reasons for keeping it a secret. Maybe it was because you had no choice, or maybe you didn't feel secure enough."
She took a step closer, her voice gentle yet firm. "Regardless of the reason, I trust you. I chose you, and I will believe in you unconditionally. And you didn't betray that trust, did you? You even gave me something as precious as the Chakra Fruit."
Su Xiuyu felt slightly embarrassed but also grateful for Mito's understanding. Seeing his expression, Mito smiled playfully. "Since you've finally decided to confess, I will generously forgive you."
Her considerate nature made Su Xiuyu's heart warm. "Actually, the reason I'm telling you this now is because I want to take you to my world—to meet my parents. I'm an only child, and my parents are just ordinary people."
Mito listened carefully as Su Xiuyu shared his story. Before, he never had the chance to talk about his past, but now that he had the power to protect himself, it no longer felt like an untouchable secret.
"So, Mito, are you ready? We're about to cross over to my home world."
Mito's eyes sparkled with excitement, but then she suddenly turned serious. "No, I need to change first. This is my first time meeting your parents—I have to take it seriously. Wait for me."
Su Xiuyu chuckled. As expected, women always took their time getting ready. But when Mito finally emerged, dressed immaculately, looking even more radiant than before, he couldn't help but think that the wait had been worth it.
"What are you daydreaming about?" Mito teased. "Let's go, Xiu Yu. I'm ready."
Su Xiuyu nodded and silently commanded, Return, system.
