Reborn with Infinity Money System, I was Worshipped by All Universes! Chapter 243 240-Mentee? Male or Female? Are They Good-Lookin

"Drink it?"

Velen felt his scalp tingle, utterly shocked at Steven's sheer audacity.

This guy… was he seriously planning to drink the footbath water I used?!

"Brother Steven, that was the water I soaked my feet in!" Velen couldn't help but point out.

"So what?!"

Steven straightened his back, eyes burning with determination.

"Lord Velen! What I want is your footbath water! If it were anyone else's, I wouldn't even consider it!"

Hiss!

Velen sucked in a cold breath.

This Steven truly lives up to his reputation as the eternal runner-up! The level of endurance and shalessness he possesses is terrifying!

He's actually willing to drink my footbath water!

Steven's eyes glimred with fervent hope as he gazed at Velen.

"If it's water you bathed in, not just soaked your feet, I would still take it without hesitation!"

"As long as you're willing to humiliate , I'm willing to accept it!"

With that, Steven tilted his head back and gulped down the bottle of footbath water in one go.

He then closed his eyes, wearing an expression of solemn sacrifice.

"Co! Humiliate however you please!"

Velen was utterly speechless.

Talk about not knowing hunger unless you've starved...

Only now did Velen truly realize how valuable soul crystal tear was.

Steven had been forced to the point where he would gladly drink soone's used bathwater just to grow stronger!

But even so, Velen still felt a little uncomfortable letting soone drink his discarded bathwater.

It wasn't guilt—more like... it just felt weird!

Just then, a system prompt sounded in Velen's mind.

Ding! Reminder: This Steven would make a great ntee for Apollo.

"Huh? Steven would be a great ntee for Apollo?"

Hearing this, Velen fell into deep thought.

Ding! Please note: Apollo is currently in servitude under the Fortress rules. Whether to allow him a new, suitable ntee is up to the host's discretion.

Velen stared at Steven thoughtfully, contemplating whether to bring him under Apollo's wing.

The guy was even willing to drink footbath water... watching him, my heart really aches a little.

This kid had clearly been through a lot.

anwhile, Steven, seeing Velen lost in thought, grew even more excited.

Yes! This is it!

Lord Velen must be thinking about how much more soul crystal tear he's willing to share with !

If I could get a whole tub of it, I would laugh myself awake even in my dreams!

Steven didn't care whether it was footbath water or bathwater.

As long as it was soul crystal tear, he would gulp it down without hesitation!

Real n didn't fuss over trivial things—whatever it was, drink it in one shot!

After a mont of pondering, Velen said,

"I'll need to ask Senator Ethan about this first."

Turning to Steven, he instructed,

"Wait here for . I'll be back soon."

"No problem, Lord Velen! I'll be right here!"

Steven responded excitedly.

"Wait for ," Velen said again, before opening a Spatial Portal and stepping through.

He must be going to fetch more soul crystal tear!

Steven thought, growing even more excited.

Lord Velen is such a generous and kind soul!

He could hardly believe his luck—being gifted sothing as precious as soul crystal tear!

At this point, Steven no longer cared about how the water had been used.

Soul crystal tear is soul crystal tear!

Who cares? I'll take it all!

Overflowing with excitent, he ran to the door and shouted down the hall,

"Boss! Where's the boss? Bring a bathtub—the biggest one you've got!"

—

Fortress.

Senator Ethan's Courtyard.

"Lord Velen? What brings you here?"

Senator Ethan looked slightly surprised to see him.

"How much longer until Apollo's servitude contract ends?" Velen asked bluntly.

"Is it possible to release him earlier? I just found a very fitting ntee for him—soone skilled in Light Magic, a perfect match for Apollo, the Sunlord."

Upon hearing this, Senator Ethan sighed deeply.

"Lord Velen, it's true that I once hated Apollo to the bone. But after making him a servant, I've co to understand many things."

He spoke candidly, laying bare his true feelings.

"If he hadn't sealed away for two hundred years, I might never have t you, Lord Velen. Blessings and misfortunes are intertwined—that's just life."

"Now, I no longer harbor deep hatred toward him. Maybe after another century or so, I'll free him from servitude."

"In that case," Velen said, "it's fine to arrange a ntee for him now."

"Senator Ethan, please let Apollo know: I've found a Light Magic user suitable to beco his ntee. Have him get ready."

After speaking, Velen activated another Spatial Portal and vanished from Senator Ethan's courtyard.

—

Apollo's Courtyard.

"What?!"

Apollo almost cried with joy when he heard the news from Senator Ethan.

"Lord Velen found a ntee for ?"

"Finally! I'm no longer alone!"

His heart swelled with gratitude.

Lord Velen always thinks of ... He's too kind!

Apollo's hands trembled with emotion.

You have no idea how painful it's been watching Blackgold Sovereign and his ntee Jerry flaunt their affection in front of every day!

Now he finally had his own ntee too!

I'm not lonely anymore!

"Senator Ethan, thank you!"

"If it weren't for you, Lord Velen might not have thought of bringing that Light Magic user over. I, Apollo, will forever rember this kindness!"

Overwheld with gratitude, Apollo eagerly awaited the arrival of his new disciple.

anwhile, Blackgold Sovereign, who overheard the news, quietly left Apollo's courtyard and hurried back to his own residence.

—

Fortress.

In Blackgold Sovereign's courtyard, he found Jerry (also known as Christian) and said,

"Christian, I have good news for you."

"Lord Velen has found a ntee for Apollo. From now on, you'll have company."

"Huh?"

Jerry looked puzzled.

"Soone to keep company?"

He perked up instantly.

"ntor, who's coming?"

"Which major force from the Upper Plane Universe do they belong to? Did their ntor get captured too?"

"And... is it a man or a woman? Are they tall? Good figure? Are they good-looking?"

Jerry fired off questions in rapid succession.

Blackgold Sovereign's face turned green with rage.

You bastard! You're not concerned about anything else except how good-looking they are?!

"Lord Velen found a suitable ntee for Apollo—not for you!"

"Stop dreaming!"

"In all likelihood, they'll build a small residence nearby to focus on training."

Blackgold Sovereign glared sternly at Jerry.

"I'm warning you now: You are my ntee, Christian."

"You might not have to surpass everyone, but you must never lose to Apollo's ntee!"

Jerry, however, was still fixated on one thing.

"But ntor, is Apollo's ntee a boy or a girl?"

Blackgold Sovereign exploded with fury.

"You little—!"

Fuming, he started searching around the courtyard.

"ntor, what are you looking for?" Jerry asked, puzzled.

"My wand! Where's my Blackgold Wand?!"

"Your wand?"

Jerry blinked.

"What do you need it for?"

"To blast your stupid turtle head from top to bottom with a destruction spell, you little brat!"
