Collei was extremely familiar with the nature of the demon god remnant.
Before the demon god remnant developed wisdom, it was completely a monster driven only by the desire for destruction. Even the fact that it could not survive if its host died did not stop it from running rampant inside the host's body.
Collei suffered a great deal back then.
If it weren't for the demon god remnant, driven into a frenzy, treating the withering sickness inside her body as an enemy, and the two entities fighting each other to miraculously reach a balance within Collei, she would have died long ago.
After the demon god remnant developed wisdom, even though what it said sounded very pleasant, claiming it wanted to help her take revenge.
Collei had actually guessed that it was only afraid that if she died, it would die along with her.
Although for the sake of its own life, the demon god remnant always treated Collei with deference, as long as Collei didn't commit suicide, it was always very agreeable.
However, Collei still keenly perceived the arrogance ingrained in its bones.
Even having been reduced to a grotesque remnant, even being forced to reside within the body of a little girl, the demon god remnant still arrogantly looked down upon everyone in the world. Even its host, Collei, was treated like a pet by it.
However...
"Demoiselle~~"
"What's wrong with you~~"
"Time to get up, you can't stay in bed! Your friend is waiting for you~~"
Twitch. Collei's mouth twitched uncontrollably.
It felt exactly like seeing the Hero of the Dark Night dancing flirtatiously in front of her while wearing women's clothing.
"You... are you sick?!"
The demon god remnant couldn't hold back.
What did she mean by it being sick? Did she think it wanted to act like this!
Seeing Xing's half-smiling eyes in the distance, the demon god remnant became angry—it got angry for a moment.
"Oh my, Demoiselle, how could you say such a thing about me."
"Don't you like this address?"
"Then I'll change the address."
"Master~~"
Collei was speechless seeing the demon god remnant suddenly acting seductively towards her.
"Shut up!"
"Okay~~"
Seeing that the demon god remnant actually quieted down, Collei felt a bit incredulous.
"Good-for-nothing, come out."
"Master~~, please command away... good-for-nothing."
The demon god remnant inside Collei shed tears of humiliation.
For the first time, it understood so profoundly how difficult it was to be alive.
"Bark like a dog."
"Woof woof."
It actually listened so obediently?
Could there be some conspiracy?
Collei pondered for a moment but couldn't figure it out.
She immediately gave up.
Anyway, as long as it didn't affect her revenge, Collei wouldn't care if the demon god remnant suddenly acted foolish or even if she suddenly turned into a flat-chested loli.
Collei didn't care about this; as long as the demon god remnant could lend her the power for revenge, that was enough.
Regarding the demon god remnant that had tormented her for so long, Collei didn't actually hold much resentment in her heart.
Firstly, the demon god remnant was implanted into her body by the Fatui, not that it actively wanted to possess her body.
For the demon god remnant, an adult male with a strong body who could better exert its power would surely be much better than a weak little girl suffering from an illness.
Therefore, when it learned that it was going to be implanted into Collei's body, the demon god remnant also tried to resist.
Although the final result was getting thoroughly beaten up.
In Collei's view, both the demon god remnant and herself were experimental subjects of the Fatui. She had personally witnessed the demon god remnant howling as it was cut into many pieces by the Fatui, and then a small piece of it was implanted into her body.
Collei had a high tolerance for victims who shared the same fate as her.
Secondly, the demon god remnant had saved her life.
Collei suffered from the withering sickness, which was an incurable disease.
The most prominent characteristic of those afflicted was the presence of black scales on their bodies.
Collei, tormented by the withering sickness, should have died long ago, either from the disease itself or on the operating table of the Fatui.
However, the implantation of the demon god remnant not only suppressed the withering sickness but also allowed Collei to survive longer.
The subtle balance achieved between the withering sickness and the demon god remnant.
In the eyes of the Doctor, a Harbinger of the Fatui, Collei was an extremely rare test subject who absolutely could not be easily damaged.
Although she hated to admit it, Collei knew that it was precisely because of her status as a precious test subject that she managed to survive in the Fatui's experimental base, where the mortality rate was 100%, and persist until she accumulated enough strength to escape the laboratory.
Finally, the demon god remnant could grant her the power for revenge.
The Delusion Collei possessed was merely the most common version, casually snatched from a Fatui guard when she escaped the experimental base.
However, with the help of the demon god remnant, this most ordinary Delusion could exert a power far greater than a Vision in a short time!
As long as she could achieve revenge, avenge her parents, her companions who died on the operating table, and herself, Collei never minded offering her soul to the devil!
"However..."
"If it could be a bit more obedient, it wouldn't be impossible to treat it slightly better."
"After all, I still need its power."
Collei thought secretly in her heart.
"Collei, come have breakfast quickly!"
Xing shouted towards Collei from a distance, hopping and waving her arms, looking to be in a very good mood.
As if infected by Xing's good mood,
A smile also spread across Collei's face.
She ran towards Xing while shouting: "Coming!"
"Collei, Arkz actually cooked this morning."
"I thought the sun had risen from the west."
"That guy sleeps until he wakes up naturally every day, lazier than me."
Listening to Xing's complaints, Collei offered an awkward smile.
Xing was Arkz's cousin, so she naturally had the liberty to complain; Collei certainly didn't have that courage.
Collei was also extremely grateful to Arkz.
Not only did he agree to take her in and treat her illness, but he also took very good care of her in daily life.
Most importantly—his cooking was incredibly delicious!!!
The moment she thought of the delicious food Arkz had made before, Collei's mouth started watering uncontrollably.
"Haha, Collei, you're drooling."
Collei, mocked by Xing, flushed and quickly wiped the corner of her mouth, only to find no trace of drool.
Looking at the smirking Xing, Collei finally realized,
She had actually been tricked by this silly girl Xing's prank!
"You fiend, look out for my tickle attack!"
Collei shouted and pounced towards Xing.
Watching the aggressively charging Collei, Xing fought while retreating until she was disarmed and constantly begging for mercy.
"Lost, lost."
"I surrender."
Then the two held hands and walked together into the dining hall of the farm.
Smelling the aroma of food in the dining hall and looking at Xing beside her, Collei suddenly felt her eyes stinging.
"What's wrong?"
Xing asked with concern.
"Nothing."
"I just suddenly realized."
A brilliant smile appeared on Collei's face as she looked at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window:
"The weather is so nice today!"
