"Thank you, Sister-in-law," Vegeta said, feeling a bit embarrassed.
"Sister-in-law?" Heles blinked in surprise.
"Uh... Rumsshi is like my older brother, and you're so close to him, I should call you Sister-in-law," Vegeta chuckled.
"Is that so? That sort of makes sense," Heles nodded thoughtfully.
"No! Absolutely not! You cannot call her Sister-in-law!" Rumsshi panicked.
*I know exactly what you mean when you call someone Sister-in-law!*
*I've seen how you treat your own brother and sister-in-law.*
*If you call Heles Sister-in-law, the grasslands on my head will grow even more lush.*
"Why?" Heles was taken aback.
"Call her Sister. From now on, you can call Heles Sister," Rumsshi told Vegeta.
"Alright, I'll listen to you," Vegeta nodded.
*I never intended to do anything to Heles!*
*She's not my type at all.*
*I wouldn't eat her, would I?*
"Let's hurry, no more jokes," Rumsshi urged.
"No rush, it's not like we'll get our face back immediately even if we go," Vegeta shook his head. "He has to fly to the galaxy where Earth is, which will take almost an hour. We should eat and drink our fill first, and then rest up."
As he spoke, Vegeta, not being stingy, directly pulled out a large pile of snacks from his storage ring.
"Sister Heles, please help yourself," Vegeta smiled.
"Still an hour to go... You're right, we need to think carefully about how to trick him... No, how to deal with him..." Rumsshi's eyes lit up as he wiggled his elephant trunk.
*It seems Vegeta is about to trick another God of Destruction.*
*Quitela, you're truly unlucky.*
Heles: "..."
*I knew the two of you would gang up to trick someone.*
*I found it strange before.*
*Now it seems my previous guesses were correct.*
*These two shameless fellows.*
*However, Rumsshi is not a bad person.*
*Being with him might not be a bad choice either.*
"First, tell me what happened earlier?" Rumsshi inquired.
Vegeta had nothing to hide and told Rumsshi everything about his challenge to Champa.
"You're quite something, kid! Your strength is now enough to defeat that guy Champa?" Rumsshi laughed heartily, patting Vegeta's shoulder.
"You... What did you say?" Heles's expression changed slightly. "Champa lost to you?"
"It wasn't exactly a loss to me; I forfeited willingly," Vegeta smiled.
"You clearly won, and you deliberately forfeited!" Heles gritted her teeth and immediately turned to glare at Rumsshi. "Rumsshi, you bastard, you said Vegeta was fragile back then! Now you two have been exposed!"
"I was indeed fragile back then, which is why I've been training my body for the past three years," Vegeta quickly explained.
"Oh? Then tell me, how did you train your body to increase its toughness to the level of a God of Destruction in just three years?" Heles became interested and looked at Vegeta with a smile.
"I exercise every day, enduring all sorts of attacks when my body is at its weakest, to temper my physical will," Vegeta replied.
Heles: "..."
*Your words are a bit problematic.*
"Hmph, forget it, forget it. I knew you two would team up to trick me. Don't think I'm an idiot!" Heles rolled her eyes and snorted.
"Hehehe..." Rumsshi chuckled foolishly.
Heles kicked Rumsshi hard and gave him a meaningful look.
The meaning was obvious.
Rumsshi immediately snapped back to reality, stepped forward, and put his arm around Vegeta's shoulder.
"That... Vegeta, can I discuss something with you?" Rumsshi said with a dry laugh.
"What is it?" Vegeta blinked.
"Delete the video you sent me earlier," Rumsshi whispered.
"I deleted it long ago. There's no point in keeping it," Vegeta replied.
"Really?" Rumsshi was slightly taken aback.
"Of course, it's true. It's not like I haven't seen it," Vegeta smiled. "On Earth, Bulma and I are practically engaged, and I'm a Supreme Kai. What do you think I can't see?"
"You're right about that, then I can rest assured," Rumsshi nodded. "This... I just wanted to play with her before... I didn't expect... I accidentally let her..."
"Steal your heart?" Vegeta asked with a smile. "That's normal, understandable."
"It's good that you understand, it's good that you understand," Rumsshi laughed heartily and gave Heles an okay gesture.
"Since Vegeta's strength has surpassed Champa, we can directly talk to Quitela about this," Heles immediately changed the subject. "Let's get him out of the Tenth Universe first!"
"Rumsshi, that little bottle made of Lightning-Splinter Steel, if Quitela could also be put inside, do you think he could escape?" Vegeta suddenly asked.
"Unlikely," Rumsshi shook his head after a brief thought, then his eyes widened. "Forget it, that guy won't be sealed that easily."
"Then, if Vados and Quitela were put together, could they escape if they teamed up?" Vegeta asked again.
Rumsshi: "..."
*You have quite the nerve.*
*You're the one who wants to put them together!*
"I'm asking hypothetically," Vegeta inquired.
"Hard to say. If you seal him for three to five years, maybe. But if the time passes, the Angelic energy inside will be depleted, and they'll easily break the bottle and escape," Rumsshi analyzed.
"Three to five years isn't impossible," Vegeta nodded slightly.
"You... You're not actually thinking of putting them together, are you?" Rumsshi wiped his sweat.
"It's about time for Vados to have a companion. I'm a rather benevolent person," Vegeta grinned.
"What's your plan? Direct action might not work," Rumsshi shook his head.
"Hey, what are you two talking about? What little bottle? And what happened to Vados?" Heles looked bewildered.
"It's this," Vegeta said, immediately pulling out the small white bottle.
"Lightning-Splinter Steel?" Heles blinked. "This thing is made of Lightning-Splinter Steel?"
*Crack!*
Vegeta dispelled the Angelic energy covering it and pressed down forcefully, twisting open the lid.
"Vados, are you alright?" Vegeta called out to Vados inside.
Vados looked up and glared hatefully at Vegeta.
"Hurry up and come out, I've already opened the lid for you," Vegeta waved his hand at Vados.
