Chapter 371: Otto Explodes

In the end, neither Bai Mo nor Durandal explained Cecilia's matter. Although Rita was very curious, she did not ask too much.

As for Elysia, it was the same. She did not ask too much, although she really wanted to know.

And Bai Mo saw Elysia's little thoughts, so she promised her that when the time was right, she would tell her what was going on.

Well! Let's talk about it after everyone is resurrected! Let's finish first and report later!

So this matter ended successfully. Durandal successfully restored her memory and also promised Bai Mo that she would go to St. Freya Academy with her in two days.

In this way, it was much easier to adjust Kiana's emotions. It can be said that this is a happy situation.

Of course, this happy situation is not applicable to Otto. What Bai Mo said should be the beginning of the tragedy.

Bai Mo saw with her own eyes that when Durandal left, she went straight to where Otto was while holding Abyss Flower in her hand.

Rita turned a blind eye to this and had no intention of stopping it.

Perhaps this afternoon, a series of rumors about the "Overseer being stabbed" will spread in Schicksal.

Well... She hopes that Otto can have more spare soulium bodies and not let Durandal smash them all at once.

Continuing to rest her head leisurely on Elysia's thighs while enjoying the cookies that Rita had just given them, Bai Mo prayed for Otto.

Aimen~

Thoughts dispersed, Bai Mo closed her eyes and rested.

But in fact, although she said she was resting, her mind was always restless, and she was thinking about all those headaches.

For example, the matter of resurrection, about little Griso and Su, Bai Mo had a severe headache.

In the former case, little Griseo was sent on a spaceship to the vast universe, and her whereabouts are unknown.

On this point, the future she saw in Ankoken Kurayami did not show anything, not even a clue. It was clear that the Honkai at that time was defeated, and it was a perfect ending, but there was no mention of this.

Thinking about it, before she transmigrated, this topic was discussed by others, saying that Griseo might appear in APHO.


After all, some monsters in APHO are the same as the paintings of little Griseo, and some people said that Project Ark will be connected to Honkai Star Rail next door?

In short, Bai Mo didn't know these things. She didn't play much of APHO, let alone Star Rail, and she didn't even get the qualification for the Beta test.

So if she wants to know where Griseo is, she can only consider it after she resurrects Dr. Mei.

Then, when it comes to Su, the essence of this matter is that Bai Mo is completely afraid to save him...


Don't ask, asking is cowardly. She has fear of the unknown.


After all, the manga also say that after Su's body died, his consciousness and soul were taken away by a higher-dimensional being and taken to the universe to play chess. They said that as long as Su beat them in chess, they would tell Su the truth about the world that is above the Honkai.

She doesn't know if these two have finished playing chess now. In short, Bai Mo doesn't want to change this kind of thing that is bound to happen, and even if she wants to, her strength is not enough.

However, she can also observe from a distance and at least bring back Su's body... body. After all, Su might come back after playing chess that day, and no one can predict what will happen in the future, but it is always a good thing to prepare early.

She is not good at stuff that require too much brainpower, so she still has to rely on the invincible Dr. Mei!

(Bai Mo: I have to find a way to put my invincible Dr. Mei on there!)

(Kevin: Block +10086...)

.........................................

Two hours later, it was almost dusk.

"Boom!"

A loud noise woke Bai Mo up from her sleep, along with Elysia.

"What's wrong? Is it an earthquake?!"

Sitting up in shock from her slumber, Bai Mo hugged Elysia's slender waist tightly.

"It seems someone is setting off fireworks outside."

Elysia touched Bai Mo's head like coaxing a child and pointed out the window.

"Oh, that's fine. It's probably Otto who exploded."

How could anyone set off fireworks at the Schicksal headquarters? Except Theresa that is.

And if nothing unexpected happened, it should have been done by Durandal, and the location of the explosion was probably Otto's secret base for storing his soulium body.

Actually, there had been explosions like these before, but because the noise was too small, it did not attract the attention of the two.

As for the Valkyries of Schicksal, Otto told them that the explosion was caused by the failure of an experiment, not by someone invading the headquarters, so they stopped.

Of course, there were Valkyries who happened to be at the scene of the incident at that time, but when they saw Durandal at the explosion site, they all dispelled their doubts.

After all, who is Durandal? She is a rare genius in a century, the idol of all the Valkyries in Schicksal!

So is this highly regarded S-level Valkyrie would be bored and cause damage wantonly?


Isn't this a joke, the kind that even a three-year-old child would not believe!

"It's almost seven o'clock, Ellie, are you hungry?"

In the guest room that Rita arranged for the two, Bai Mo rubbed her face that was red from the pillow, stretched, and spoke.

In fact, if she hadn't been woken up by the explosion, she would probably still be asleep.

"Not hungry, isn't Lau full from the biscuits?"

Taking this opportunity, Elysia put her hand into Bai Mo's clothes and stroked her tender bEllie.

"No, so I want to eat something."

"What does Lau want to eat?"

"You."

With a sly smile on her face, Bai Mo instantly opened her mouth wide at Elysia.

"How many meals?"

Elysia was in a good mood, looking at Bai Mo biting her hand, and spoke softly.

"Eat three meals! Eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner!"

"It's not good to be too greedy~"

"Then eat two meals! The first meal and the next meal!"

"There's no difference, right!"

"What about the other meal? One meal should be fine, right?"

"Then tell me, Lau, which meal do you want to eat?"

"Every meal!"

"..."

Elysia was shocked, and then she pressed down~




Chapter 372: Key of Blankness, Gem of Haste

After a simple meal, Elysia accompanied Bai Mo outside the room to admire the night view.

After all, the headquarters of Schicksal is a floating island, and it’s very different from observing the night sky on the ground. At least, the stars are clearer to see!

Of course, the real reason the two went outside was that they were invited by Otto to visit the Schicksal laboratory.

As for what Otto wanted them for, he didn't say, but he was acting mysteriously.

...

After a while, the two arrived at the laboratory.

Here, Bai Mo noticed a familiar yet unfamiliar face. The director of the Schicksal Saint 1504 Research Institute, Nagamitsu, a woman with long wine-red hair and a monocle, was standing next to Otto, staring at them.

By the way, Durandal and Rita were also present at this time. This large gathering only confused Bai Mo more about what Otto was planning to do.

Could it be that the explosion just now was Durandal blowing up Nagamitsu’s research institute? And then Nagamitsu came here?

That seems unlikely, especially since Durandal and Nagamitsu have a good relationship.

And... Durandal has temporarily reconciled with Otto?

Well, she originally thought Durandal could have made a bit more of a scene.

"So, what's the reason you called us?" Bai Mo asked, twirling her hair with her index finger.

"It's not a big deal. I just prepared two small gifts and planned to give them to Miss Aslaug," Otto said, still with a faint smile on his face, giving Nagamitsu a look.

"Got it..." Nagamitsu sighed helplessly and turned to a test bench, operating the terminal. It seemed she was entering a password or performing some other action.

In short, Nagamitsu’s face was full of helplessness, and her eyes were full of complaints.


This was wasting resources!!

When Bai Mo heard Otto mention he had a gift for her, a smile immediately appeared on her face.

"Two small gifts? What? The Gem of Haste!"

In Schicksal, the only thing Bai Mo cared about was the Gem of Haste. After all, the World Serpent wasn't lacking in other things. With Vill-V, it was like having everything. That phrase wasn't wrong.

"Of course, but the Gem of Haste has long been embedded into the Valkyrie Battlesuit by Dr. Nagamitsu," Otto said.

As he spoke, a display case beside him opened, revealing the new generation of S-Class Valkyrie Battlesuit from Schicksal.

Immediately, everyone’s attention was drawn to it.

Durandal and Rita had heard that this set of Battlesuit was newly developed. If it was real, it would be the first time they were seeing it.

A Valkyrie Battlesuit equipped with the Herrscher Core was certainly a captivating sight.

"Vermillion Knight," Nagamitsu said, after stepping down from the test bench and pointing to the Battlesuit in the display case. "This is the name I gave this Battlesuit."

Her words were full of emotion.

Who knew that this Battlesuit which she had poured countless hours and effort into creating—working days without rest—was going to be given away in an instant?

How are you supposed to do your job as a Overseer? Even if Schicksal is rich and powerful, they can't be this wasteful!

At least give this Battlesuit to a Valkyrie! But instead, you're giving it to an outsider?

Nagamitsu felt wronged and hurt.

"It's a nice name, but if I'm not mistaken, the prototype of this set of Battlesuit should be the Key of Blankness."

Elysia stepped forward, looked at it with interest, and then said.

"Miss Elysia guessed correctly. This set of Battlesuit is based on the Blank Key from your previous era, and Dr. Nagamitsu simply made a few adjustments," Otto replied as he retrieved the Battlesuit's data. "If the Gem of Haste is removed, it can be restored to its original form."

"Wait, wait, wait... Overseer Otto, what did you just say? What does 'your previous era' mean?"

Not paying attention to Otto retrieving the data, Nagamitsu was only interested in what he just said.

After all, if she heard correctly and Otto didn’t misspeak, the pink-haired girl in front of her must be a warrior from the last era?

Nagamitsu looked at her like she had seen a ghost.

"That's right. As you can see, my name is Elysia. I’m a warrior of Fire Moth from the previous era, the second of the Thirteen Flamechasers!"

"And this Blank Key is the Divine Key made by our friend, Dr. Mei."

Elysia explained with a smile.

"This... then you have lived for a full 50,000 years..."

Although Nagamitsu had suspected it for a while, hearing it from the person herself still shocked her.

Despite her position in Schicksal where she had access to some secrets—such as the fact that most of Schicksal’s technology comes from archaeology of the last civilization era—this didn’t mean she understood the previous civilization well.

Especially when she saw the Blank Key, the shock in her heart was indescribable. She marveled at the wisdom and technological level of the people from the previous era.


Now, a living person from that time was standing in front of her. How could this not excite her?

Of course, besides these feelings, Nagamitsu’s original grievances disappeared.

After all, the Blank Key originally belonged to someone else, so in a sense, this was like returning the property to its rightful owner. She was also very interested in Dr. Mei, the creator of the Blank Key.

"Well... although..."

"Ahem, let’s put that aside for now. In addition to the Gem of Haste, is this Blank Key the second gift?"

It was obvious that Elysia didn’t want to discuss age, so Bai Mo quickly interrupted.

"Well done, Lau!"

Elysia silently gave Bai Mo a thumbs up.

Nagamitsu didn’t say much more but decided to ask about Dr. Mei privately later if she had the time.

"Of course not, because this second gift might be a little special."

At this point, Otto also spoke up.

"Special?"

What could be more special than the Gem of Haste and the Blank Key?

Bai Mo looked at Otto, more and more curious.

----



Chapter 373: Book of Fuxi: Where is my wooden head?!

Except for Bai Mo, everyone else was also very interested in what Otto had said.

After all, the Blank Key, as a Divine Key left over from the last civilization era, was already incredibly valuable. Moreover, this set of Battlesuit only needed to be inlaid with the Herrscher core to allow the user to briefly unleash the power of the Herrscher. Although there were side effects, the benefits far outweighed the disadvantages.

Not to mention the Gem of Haste. The Herrscher of Flame's core, if used correctly, was simply too powerful. This could be seen when comparing the power displayed by the Judgment of Shamash and the Herrscher of Flame in the previous era.

Looking at the current civilization, both of these are unique.

So, not just Bai Mo, but everyone was eager to see what kind of gift Otto had prepared.

At that moment, Otto walked to the back of the laboratory and took out a square box from a safe.

For a moment, everyone began to speculate about what kind of thing could be inside this small box.

"Emm... Don't look at me. In fact, I don’t know what Overseer Otto has prepared," Nagamitsu said, shaking her head regretfully when she saw Durandal's inquiring gaze.

She had only come here today because of her identity. As one of the Battlesuit modifiers, she was the only one who could unlock the device that protected the Battlesuit, as the core key was in her hands.

"Okay," Durandal nodded silently.

"Is this the special gift?" Bai Mo asked as Otto approached with the small box, the question on everyone's mind.

"Yes, it has very special meaning for some people," Otto replied, placing the box flat on the table with a slight smile.

"So, this isn’t for me, right?" Bai Mo said. She didn’t think Otto would know her well enough to prepare a gift with special meaning.

If we look at the whole world, there were probably only two people who could make Otto care that much—either Kallen or Theresa.

So, was this a gift for Theresa? A manga? Bitter melon juice?

However, just as Bai Mo was thinking this, Otto's next words made her quickly dismiss these thoughts.

"This is indeed not for you, Miss Aslaug, but for my old friend."

Otto said casually, then handed the box to Bai Mo. It didn’t matter who the gift was for; what mattered was what was inside.

Durandal & Rita: "Is it Miss Fu Hua?"

Nagamitsu: "It's a bit unexpected."

Elysia: "It's Hua!"

"Fu Hua?!" Bai Mo exclaimed with some surprise. It must be said that Otto's behavior was quite considerate—he even knew to prepare a gift?

No, no, she was curious!

"Why not open the box and take a look?" Otto suggested.

Of course, even without Otto's suggestion, Bai Mo would have chosen to open the box, as she had already lifted a corner of the box.

Bai Mo opened the box, and the special gift Otto had mentioned was finally revealed.

"What is this?" Rita and Durandal said in unison as they saw the gift.

"A ball?" Nagamitsu added at the end, but her tone was filled with uncertainty.

Nagamitsu was right to say that. The box contained a spherical object resembling Tai Chi, with black and white colors.

Familiar! Bai Mo was far too familiar with this! Wasn't this the little ancestor who had run out of energy? The Book of Fuxi!

Bai Mo looked at the Book of Fuxi in her hand with a hint of joy in her eyes.

"The ELF created by Dr. Einstein? But this is a model I haven't seen before, and it doesn’t look like something from the Fire Moth..."

Before Bai Mo could explain, Elysia leaned over to look at it carefully.

"ELF? Einstein?"

When Elysia mentioned a familiar name, Nagamitsu’s mind automatically conjured up an image of a blue-haired figure.

Durandal also recalled memories after hearing the name of the ELF, such as the "guardian" she had met while searching for the second Divine Key.

"It’s Dr. Einstein from the previous era," Bai Mo explained, coming back to her senses.

"This... okay, but I remember the ELF didn’t look like this?" Nagamitsu said, a little confused, as she had seen photos of ELFs in the literature.

"This is because the little ancestor has run out of energy. Just replenish it a little later," Bai Mo spoke as she took out her phone and sent a message to Vill-V, asking her to send the energy data for the ELF.

It would be very convenient to reconstruct it with the Power of Reason later.

"Little ancestor?" Elysia was a little surprised after hearing Bai Mo's words. "In that case, Lau, do you know this ELF?"

"I know it. The full name of this ELF is Book of Fuxi. It was made by Nuwa and Fuxi."

"The appearance is Fuxi's, and the personality is more like Nuwa's."

While Bai Mo was explaining, Vill-V sent the relevant energy data for the ELF.

Then a burst of blue light appeared, and the Power of Reason activated instantly. Bai Mo constructed the energy and inserted it into the body of Book of Fuxi.

It would take some time for the energy to be absorbed, as the little ancestor had been sleeping for a long time.

"So that’s it, it’s Nuwa and Fuxi," Elysia nodded thoughtfully after listening to Bai Mo’s explanation. The figures of the two sisters naturally appeared in her mind. Although the others didn’t fully understand what was being discussed, they were still very curious and eager to see the revival of the Book of Fuxi.

And in this waiting, gradually, the Book of Fuxi responded. The black and white sphere emitted white light, and many lines appeared. Then, the sphere was slowly enveloped by the white light, eventually transforming into a petite doll girl.

The first thing she did after waking up was to stretch comfortably. Though her eyes were still closed, she spoke:

"Well... Well, I slept so well."

"Speaking of Elmhead, the technological level of the outside world now... Wait! Who are you? Elmhead?!"

Chapter 374: Book of Fuxi Who Was Teased / The Immortal Marries, Ten Miles of Red Makeup

After sleeping for a thousand years and waiting for enough energy to be replenished, Book of Fuxi's consciousness slowly returned online. She gradually opened her eyes in the darkness.

Although Book of Fuxi couldn’t perceive the development of the outside world during her sleep, the fact that she was now awake meant that the civilization outside had entered a new stage of development.

A feeling of joy filled her heart. After all, waking up meant that she could finally see Elmhead again and stay by her side.

"I wonder if Elmhead has changed after all this time."

With a hint of both excitement and doubt, Book of Fuxi silently thought to herself before uploading her consciousness to her body and walking out of the darkness.

However, just as she was lost in the joy of soon seeing Elmhead, the scene in front of her delivered an unexpected blow.

She found herself in the arms of a silver-haired girl, who was smiling at her. From the residual energy traces, Book of Fuxi quickly deduced that the girl holding her was the one who had just awakened her.

Around her were unfamiliar faces, all looking at her curiously.

The look on their faces resembled that of people watching monkeys at the zoo...


However, what Book of Fuxi didn’t know was that everyone was looking at her like that because of the word "elmhead" she had just blurted out, which made everyone curious.

"Hey, little ancestor, how do you feel after such a long sleep? Now that you're awake~♪"

Seeing Book of Fuxi still in a daze, Bai Mo was the first to speak up and placed her gently on the table.

"Uh... Excuse me, young girl, why did you wake me up? And what era is this now? Do you know someone named Fu Hua, or the Immortal Jingwei?"

Wasn't the one who woke me up supposed to be the el.head? Who are all these people?


And why does the pink-haired girl look familiar?


Where is the elmhead?

And why did the person who woke me up call me 'little ancestor'?

A series of questions swirled in Book of Fuxi’s mind, causing her to ask them out loud without thinking.

Seeing her confusion, Bai Mo’s eyes sparkled with a hint of mischief, and she grinned before answering, "Of course, we know Fu Hua! And tomorrow is going to be her big day, so we decided to wake you up today to attend tomorrow’s banquet!"

Bai Mo’s tone was cheerful, her eyes full of excitement. "The marriage of the dignified Jingwei Immortal is an immense honor even in the 21st century. The so-called immortal's marriage is nothing less than a ten-mile red makeup."

Of course, the immortal would also have a daughter in the future, known as the Herrscher of Sentience.

Bai Mo spoke with such seriousness that it almost sounded like nonsense. Maybe because of how vivid her language and expressions were, Book of Fuxi truly became startled.

Naturally, the rest of the group was also confused by Bai Mo’s sudden speech, especially Elysia, who almost burst out laughing.

"Young... young girl, are you... are you kidding me?"

Her mouth was so wide open that an egg could almost fit in it.

What?! The first thing she had to do after waking up was attend the wedding of elmhead?

When did elmhead become enlightened?! Has she changed so much in the past thousand years?

For a moment, she didn’t know whether to be sad or happy. All she knew was that her mind was completely muddled.


Had she woken up the wrong way? Was this all just a dream?

"Hiss! It hurts!"


Determined to snap out of her confusion, Book of Fuxi pinched her slender arm. The pain brought her back to reality, making her realize that this was not a dream.


Of course, everyone here can vouch for me," Bai Mo said, unable to hold back her smile but still managing to keep a straight face.


It was fun to tease the little ancestor, as long as she didn’t get angry and pull out a Gatling gun. If she did, with six pure depleted uranium bombs, 3,600 rounds in one breath, and great compassion to save the world...


Bai Mo definitely didn’t want to see that.

"Really? Who did Jingwei marry?"


After hearing Bai Mo’s serious tone, which didn’t seem like she was lying, Book of Fuxi believed her, at least partially. She then asked the question she was most curious about.


After all, it's elmhead!


Athousand years without enlightenment, like an iron tree that never blooms—how could anyone not be angry about it? And to get married?!

Someone actually was truly talented and heroic!



Book of Fuxi has to meet him! Yes! She had to homage to him!

"......"

Everyone turned their heads away at this point.

"I don’t know, don’t ask me."

"Huh? Why is everyone silent?"

Book of Fuxi was a little confused.

"Okay, Lau, stop teasing Book of Fuxi."

Unable to hold it in anymore, Elysia suddenly spoke up and patted Bai Mo’s head.

"Hey~"

Bai Mo stuck out her tongue.

"Young girl, you lied to me?!"

At that moment, Book of Fuxi realized she had been fooled! She was both shocked and angry!


Her delicate little feet stomped on the table several times.

"Puff... Hahahaha, who told you to be so funny, sorry, sorry!"

As an apology, Bai Mo, like a magician, took out a lollipop and forced it into Book of Fuxi’s hand. "So, as compensation, how about I take you to see Fu Hua in two days?"

"Humph! How can the world be so dangerous now? How can you prove that you know Elmhead?"

Book of Fuxi spoke unhappily, becoming more wary of Bai Mo.

"That's easy. Actually, if you want to see Fu Hua, we can video call her now, but..."

"But what?"

Humph! You’ve exposed yourself! You don't know Elmhead at all!

Feeling proud of having caught Bai Mo in a lie, Book of Fuxi smiled.

"It’s a long story. After you fell asleep, your idiot used Fenghuang Down to burn her memory while fighting the Herrscher, so I can’t guarantee she remembers you. Of course, this problem will be solved soon, assuming Fu Hua is willing to regain her memory."


Ignoring Book of Fuxi’s thoughts, Bai Mo gave a straightforward answer.


---


Chapter 375: The Title of Elysia

"What?! You said that Elmhead has lost her memory?!"

After listening to what Bai Mo said, Book of Fuxi immediately widened her eyes, with an expression of disbelief and worry on hwr face.

"Well, didn't I tell you not to worry, little ancestor? Besides, Fu Hua's problem is easy to solve, it just takes a long time."

After all, Fu Hua has 50,000 years of memory in her head. Even if Bai Mo's Power of Sentience is strong, it will waste some time.

Of course, if Fu Hua can go to the Elysian Realm and find a memory to copy, then the above words can be ignored. It only takes a few minutes to solve it.

"Then you must save elmhead!"

Book of Fuxi looked like she was about to cry and immediately hugged Bai Mo's arm, refusing to let go.

Since the other party chose to wake him up, she must be able to cure elmhead! An amnesiac blockhead is something she doesn't want to see!!!

"Don't worry, as Hua's friends, we will not sit idly by."

At this time, Elysia also came over and touched Book of Fuxi's head with a smile.

Fuxi's appearance, Nuwa's personality, the combination of the two is also very cute!

"Thank you!"

After getting a positive answer, Book of Fuxi's hanging heart was slightly relieved.

"By the way, I haven't asked you all your names yet..."

Waking up unexpectedly, meeting a group of unfamiliar people, and also finding out that Fu Hua had lost her memory, and then finding a way to solve her memory loss—don't mention how bumpy her mood was along the way.

"Just call me Bai Mo, or Aslaug is fine."

Hearing Bai Mo's name, Book of Fuxi nodded.

"Just call me Bianka."

"Rita Rossweisse."

..................

The remaining people introduced themselves one by one, until finally, only Elysia was left.

She was looking at Fuxi Book with a smile.

"What about this one?"

Fuxi Book pointed at Elysia. At the same time, this was the only person she felt a little familiar with among all the people here.

As an ELF made by Nuwa and Fuxi, she naturally inherited a lot of memories about the two of them, but now she has just woken up, so many things have not been recalled. However, the only thing she can be sure of is that the girl in front of her has definitely appeared in Nuwa and Fuxi's memories.

"Hehe! I am one of Fuxi and Nuwa's best friends! When we were in the laboratory, the two of them often asked me to bring milk tea! (The main purpose was to harass Mobius.)"

Elysia put her hands on her hips and spoke proudly.

Of course, the term "best friend" means that she is the best friend of everyone!

After hearing what Elysia said, Book of Fuxi began to analyze it by herself and then came to the conclusion. "Elysia?"

In the memory of Fuxi and Nuwa, there is indeed such a lively figure, and they often call her "savior" or "God of Wealth."

"Savior" is the name Nuwa gave to Elysia, because every time Elysia appeared in the laboratory, Mobius would pay full attention to her, so naturally, Nuwa could take advantage of this time to laze in the laboratory and then carve wood with a hand knife.

The same is true for Fuxi, but compared with Nuwa's slacking off, she prefers to take advantage of this time to see the market trend of the stock market, and then take the opportunity to make a fortune, so this is the title of "God of Wealth" given to Elysia.

(Klein: "???")

"Congratulations on guessing it right! I'm praising you!"

As a reward for guessing it right, Elysia held Fuxi Book in her arms.

Yeah! Sure enough, this ELF feels soft! Just like the fairy Aili!

"Woo...Woo!"

Faced with this excessive enthusiasm, Fuxi Book's little hands kept waving, and her feet were kicking.

Everyone tacitly ignored it; of course, Bai Mo did the same. She turned around and set her sights on the Eclipse Battlesuit.

The Blank Key is not very useful to her, but can she give it to Vill-V for research? Although there is nothing to research and transform about this thing.

She must dig out the Gem of Haste. After all, who doesn't want the ability to control molecular movement? The Power of Ice can make one withstand low temperatures, and the Power of Fire can one withstand high temperatures.


In the future, there is no need to turn on the air conditioner in winter and summer!

Bai Mo could even perform a bath in magma and swim in liquid nitrogen. Of course, the power of these two powers is not limited to this. There must be other uses, but these will require her to slowly develop them in the future.

Thinking of this, Bai Mo directly separated the two under Nagamitsu's somewhat distressed eyes, and then threw the Gem into the imaginary space.

This trip is full of gains!

"How about these two gifts, Miss Aslaug, are you satisfied?" Otto spoke to Bai Mo.

"As expected of the Overseer, you are generous!"

At this point, Bai Mo didn't mind praising Otto, although these were all polite words.

"That's good. In addition, I will issue a notice about Bianka's visit to St. Freya Academy in the near future."

Very suddenly, Otto suddenly mentioned this matter. It seems that Durandal mentioned this when she was communicating with him in a friendly manner.

Similarly, Otto also thought that this was the best way to deal with it. It would not only keep Durandal in Schicksal, but also prevent the other party from seeing him and feeling disgusted.

He was still self-aware on this point. You know, Durandal destroyed all twelve bases where he stored his soulium body this afternoon, and also had a very "friendly" exchange with him.

In short, it was a headache.

"What about Rita? Don't you plan to arrange something for her?"

Bai Mo immediately asked.

After all, if Rita doesn't go, how can she be shipped with Bianka! This is something that must not be allowed to happen!

"...... Assistant teacher, right? I will ask Amber to arrange this later."

In fact, Otto still didn't want Rita to leave. After all, if she left, wouldn't the headquarters be missing a worker... cough cough, reliable combat power?

The Immortal Blade team should just disband on the spot! Or all of them should be transferred to St. Freya Academy?



--


Chapter 376: Siegfried's Phone Call

Watching Otto leave with Nagamitsu, Durandal and Rita also waved goodbye to Bai Mo before heading back.

"Then let's go back too."
Bai Mo called out to Elysia who was still playing with the Book of Fuxi.

Hearing this, Elysia gave an OK gesture, and the Book of Fuxi weakly nodded.

The laboratory was very close to their temporary residence, and the three of them arrived home in no time.

They took off their shoes, put on pajamas, and lay down on the bed. Bai Mo couldn't wait to turn over and lie on her back.


Of course, the impatience here was more about wanting to sleep than doing anything inappropriate with Elysia.

After all, Book of Fuxi was still there, which would be a bad influence, and it might teach the child bad things.

So, the plan was simply to sleep comfortably and recuperate, and both Bai Mo and Elysia agreed on that.

"Do I have to sleep on the bed, too?"

Looking at the space left in the corner, Book of Fuxi actually hesitated. Anyone with discerning eyes could see the relationship between the two.


What if she slept on the bed and it affected their "performance"?

And she didn't want to be woken up by strange noises and movements in the middle of her sleep.

"Of course, you can sleep next to me, little ancestor. Don't worry. I will definitely protect you from Elysia!"

Bai Mo lifted the quilt and patted it.

What a joke. If Book of Fuxi sleeps next to Elysia, who will she hold tonight?

"I obviously want to hold Book-chan to sleep~"

Elysia protested.

"Oh, I'm enough. The child is still young. If you want anything, just come to me, Ellie!"

Bai Mo looked righteous and forcibly pulled Elysia into the quilt.

This scene of sacrificing herself to feed the tiger made Book of Fuxi burst into tears. She almost went up to become sworn brothers.

'Righteous person! Today, Book of Fuxi will definitely remember your kindness! I will repay you one day!'

She had seen the "Power" of Elysia, and it was truly endless, completely different from the "elmhead."


In short, she would definitely not be able to cope with it.

Seizing the opportunity, Book of Fuxi jumped and pounced on Bai Mo's side, curling up in the small corner.

Not to mention, this quilt was very warm—much better than when she was in Mount Taoxu!

Hmm! It smells good! Book of Fuxi sniffed, then nodded with satisfaction.

Long live modern civilization!

"By the way, little ancestor, this is for you."

Suddenly, Bai Mo's voice came.

"Hmm? A mobile phone? Why did you give me this, Aslaug?"

Book of Fuxi looked at the mobile phone in her hand with some confusion.

Maybe she could watch some anime tonight? Or some movies?

"There are some photos of Fu Hua and some group photos in here, all of which I took before, so I took them out to show you."

Bai Mo opened the album for her and pointed at the photos, explaining that these were taken when they were at Saint Freya Academy.

There weren't many copies, but at least there were several hundred.

"This... Elmhead hasn't changed at all..."

After looking through some photos, Book of Fuxi said speechlessly.

The chest is still so flat... It could almost stop a plane.


She had originally thought Fu Hua's lack of growth was due to food problems in Mount Taixu, but now it seemed, well... it was purely a personal physique issue.

And the old-fashioned vibe that hit her face, she really did call Fu Hua a "elmhead" at the beginning.

"Ahem, little ancestor, don't say that. Be careful Fu Hua might beat you up."

"Aslaug, don't talk nonsense! I didn't say anything just now! Don't slander someone's innocence out of thin air!"

Book of Fuxi shook her head like a rattle and immediately gave Bai Mo three consecutive "no questions," then put down the phone and pretended to sleep.

"......"

Good grief, it seems little ancestor have been beaten a lot over this judging by her intense reaction?

Bai Mo smiled and didn't mind Book of Fuxi's childish behavior. She turned around, hugged Elysia, and planned to sleep.

"Let's sleep too."

Pushing Elysia's hair behind her ears, Bai Mo said gently.

"Lau, you forgot the goodnight kiss!"

Elysia smiled, pointing to her lips to remind her.

"Mua, it's done."

Without hesitation, Bai Mo leaned in.

"Mua~"

Then Elysia kissed back, and the two fell asleep in each other's arms.

However, just after they fell asleep, Book of Fuxi secretly opened her eyes, stretched out her little hand, and took the phone again.

...................................

The next morning.

"Ding-ling-ling! Ding-ling-ling!"

As the ringing sounded, Book of Fuxi, who was still asleep, felt something vibrating against her bEllie.

She opened her eyes dazedly, then reached out. It was Bai Mo's phone. She had looked at the photos late last night and simply placed it on her body before falling asleep.

"Who is calling so early in the morning? Siegfried? Who is that?"

Although she didn't have a habit of peeping into others' privacy, Book of Fuxi felt the need to look at it this time.

Whether to answer or not was one thing, but she figured she should ask Bai Mo about it, just in case it was something important.

Thinking this, Book of Fuxi slowly sat up, then swung her short legs to Bai Mo's side.

"......"

Don't look at anything inappropriate, don't look at anything inappropriate!!!

But as a result, Book of Fuxi's cheeks flushed after seeing the two people's strange sleeping posture.

Who would hold hands even when sleeping? The pajamas were so exposed, it was almost like not wearing anything!

The girls' graceful bodies were all white in front of her. Book of Fuxi covered her eyes with one hand and half-closed the other eye.

The phone on the other side was still ringing. She knew it wasn't the time to be shy, so she suppressed her embarrassment and pushed Bai Mo's body, trying to wake her up. "Um... Aslaug, Aslaug, wake up quickly, there's a call for you."

"......Who is it so early in the morning?"

Bai Mo's voice was a little resentful, but she didn't blame Book of Fuxi. The ringtone was loud enough for her to hear.

"Hey, look for yourself. It's a person named Siegfried."

Seeing that Bai Mo woke up quickly, Book of Fuxi quickly handed her the phone.

Chapter 377: Siegfried Who Wants to Sell His Daughter/Sinister Bai Mo

"Tell me, what's wrong?"

Bai Mo raised her shoulders slightly and clamped the phone between her face and shoulder while tidying up her pajamas.

Besides, this call couldn't have come at a worse time—she had finally had a beautiful dream.

Siegfried, Siegfried, if you don't have a legitimate reason for calling, then we'll see who will be fed to the cat(Kiana)!

The title Father-in-law is not that useful either!

"Ahem, calling so early in the morning is definitely not my intention, but I still have something to tell you, Miss Bai."

On the other end of the phone, Siegfried laughed awkwardly a couple of times. After all, being woken up by a phone call this early in the morning wasn't pleasant for anyone.

But he really had something important to discuss, so he chose to make the call.

"What's the matter? Just tell me directly."

"I think Miss Bai should know Raiden Ryoma?"

"Yes, Mei's father. I was the one who asked someone to rescue him. Why? Has he only just returned to Anti-Entropy now?"

Bai Mo wasn't sure why Siegfried suddenly brought up this name, but she answered truthfully.

"What? Miss Bai Mo asked someone to rescue Ryoma?!"

After hearing Bai Mo's words, Siegfried sounded incredulous, his tone suddenly filled with excitement.

Could it be a coincidence? Raiden Ryoma said he wanted to investigate the people who rescued him, and now he's found them just by making a phone call?

Though it sounded a bit outrageous, Siegfried believed it to some extent. After all, in his eyes, Bai Mo had no reason to lie about this matter.

And since she had treated Kiana’s arm, it wasn’t out of the question for her to get Mei’s father out of prison.

The two little ones were quite popular—having such friends was a blessing.

It was a pity that Miss Bai wasn't a man; otherwise...

Hiss, but then again, my daughter seems to be into girls...

Maybe there’s a chance?


Forget it, we should still respect the children’s choices on th sematters.

Shaking his head, Siegfried decided to put that idea aside.

Meanwhile, Bai Mo, far away at the Schicksal headquarters, sneezed. She felt like she missed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

"Yes, but speaking of it... Raven's actions are really quick. Anti-Entropy haven't found out until now."

Rubbing the tip of her nose, Bai Mo had originally thought that Anti-Entropy had already discovered that the people who broke into the prison were from the Raven Team. But now, it seemed she'd overestimated Anti-Entropy’s intelligence network.

Bai Mo picked up a hairband, tied her hair into a high ponytail, then gently patted Elysia's bottom to signal her to get up.

"Well... five more minutes~"

Elysia twisted her body and spoke coquettishly, pulling Bai Mo's arm to press against him again.

Enjoying the unique jasmine fragrance and warmth of the girl, Elysia rubbed against Bai Mo contentedly.

But she thought that this wasn’t enough, so she quickly opened Bai Mo’s shirt, revealing her delicate, smooth skin, and buried her face into it.

However, due to the sudden movement, the phone slipped from Bai Mo’s grasp and fell, causing noise on the other end.


Siegfried felt a buzzing in his ears.

Book of Fuxi: "I didn't look at anything indecent! I didn't see anything!"

Fortunately, Bai Mo remained calm. She had been in similar situations many times before and didn’t make a big deal out of it.

'Elysia! You idiot!'

Pinching Elysia’s face as if in revenge, Bai Mo frowned slightly but didn’t blame her.

"The phone fell because I didn’t hold it firmly. It’s okay, Mr. Siegfried, please continue."

Bai Mo picked up the phone again, speaking awkwardly.

"Ahem, since you also know Ryoma, Miss Bai, I’ll keep this brief."

"The situation is like this: after Ryoma heard that I was going to St. Freya to find Kiana tomorrow, he insisted on coming with me, and he’s planning to buy gifts. So I wanted to ask..."

"Want to ask if I can bring Raiden Ryoma with me to St. Freya this time? By the way, I also wanted to ask what Kiana likes so I can prepare a gift?"

"Uh... That's right."

"Mr. Siegfried, I suddenly feel like the few times I beat you last time were a bit light. So, if possible, can I beat you up again?"

Bai Mo said in the kindest tone, but Siegfried felt a chill run down his spine when he heard this, making him very uncomfortable.

Damn it! Parents don’t even know what their children like?


No wonder the first thing Kiana wanted to do after finding you was to beat you up.

"Of course, I admit I’m not a very qualified father, but Miss Bai, you must understand the situation at the time. In that environment, it was difficult for me to know what Kiana wanted, so I can only ask you."

"Okay, I do know what Kiana likes, but are you sure you want to hear it?"

Bai Mo smiled mischievously, clearly enjoying herself.

"Miss Bai, just tell me."

"Get a gift box, put yourself in it, and send it to Kiana. Put a baseball bat inside. When Kiana beats you with it, Mr. Siegfried's wish will be fulfilled."

"..."

Siegfried fell silent. Judging by Bai Mo’s serious tone, he really believed his daughter would do something "filial" like that.

"Okay, okay, as for Kiana’s gift, Mr. Siegfried, just buy a family bucket of fried chicken, hamburgers, and pizza."

Seeing Siegfried looking a little embarrassed, Bai Mo decided not to tease him too much, thinking it was a way to vent Kiana’s anger. She quickly gave him the correct answer.

Yes, it’s food.


After all, the only thing Kiana cares about is food.

"Only... only these?"

Isn’t this... too simple?

On the other end of the phone, Siegfried’s voice sounded somewhat downcast.

"Oh, by the way, in addition to these, Mr. Siegfried, you need to go to the pet store and pick the cutest cat. Kiana loves cats the most."

As soon as Siegfried finished speaking, Bai Mo quickly added another instruction.

Of course, she wouldn’t mention who this cat-loving Kiana was.


Everyone knew, but she didn’t want to tell Siegfried just yet. After all, if they met unexpectedly, it would have the best effect and be the most surprising.

"No problem, I can get this soon!"

"That’s fine. Of course, a friendly reminder: when Mr. Siegfried meets Kiana, you’d better be mentally prepared. Don’t be at a loss for words when you see her. Also, if Ryoma wants to come, let him. Mei hasn’t seen him for a long time."

Yes, meeting two Kianas at once definitely requires some mental preparation!


Chapter 378: Prepare to Set Off, Target the Far East!


At the port of the First Airport, Bai Mo was sitting on a bench, enjoying the wind blowing gently around her, lingering on her fingertips but passing through them.

Her silver-white hair was flying, mixed with a little cherry color, and she looked particularly beautiful under the sunlight.

In an ink-colored dress, she looked like a fairy, as if she were a woman walking out of a painting.

There were people coming and going around, and many Valkyries who had come here to relax had seen Bai Mo. Some of them were even brave enough to take a photo with her or wanted to add contact information.

Of course, the former was fine, but as for adding contact information, Bai Mo politely refused all of them.

As for why Bai Mo was treated like this, apart from her appearance, it was all because Otto had taken the initiative to arrange an S-rank Valkyrie identity for her. Although it had not been made public yet, some news had already spread.

Don’t underestimate the gossip group at the Schicksal headquarters! They are really like wolves and tigers!

Bai Mo didn’t feel anything about this. After all, an S-rank Valkyrie was just a title for her, but she enjoyed a lot of benefits, so she didn’t refuse.

Who doesn’t love free stuff, and you get an extra salary for free?

"Hmm...ah~"

Stretching comfortably, Bai Mo took out the milk tea that had been prepared long ago and drank it, then called Durandal.

It had been five hours since she and Siegfried hung up the phone, and it was noon, so Bai Mo also planned to rush to the Far East today.

It was nothing; it was purely because the matter here had been resolved too smoothly, faster than originally expected. Otherwise, she really would have had to wait until tomorrow morning to set off.

And it happened that Siegfried’s call also reminded her that she hadn’t seen Kiana and the others for a long time, and the gifts and so on should be prepared well.

Although she had prepared a lot of things, she still felt that there were some things that were not enough.

"Moshi Moshi~ Is it Bianka?"

When the phone was connected, Bai Mo greeted in a cheerful tone.

Durandal did not respond quickly. The sound was of a heavy object falling to the ground. Obviously, this Schicksal Sweat King should be training now.

"... Sorry, I didn’t pay attention during training just now. By the way, Bai, do you have anything to do?"

In the exclusive training room of the Immortal Blade Team, Durandal said while wiping the sweat.

"Bai? Bianka, are you talking about me again?"

It appeared! The name is useless! But then again, the name Bai sounds like a name for a puppy or a kitten!

To be honest, Bai Mo was still very surprised that Durandal had given her a nickname.

Of course, Durandal was able to do this thanks to the misunderstanding between the two of them being resolved, and Bai Mo had helped her a lot, especially in helping her regain her memory and resurrect Cecilia. So naturally, the two of them were now friends.

"Yeah, what? Is this name not nice?"
The straight woman was puzzled.

"...It sounds nice, I’m not that particular anyway, and I have something to tell you."

Bai Mo smiled indifferently, then got down to business.

..........

"So, are we going to the Far East today?"

Durandal’s tone was a little surprised.

"That’s right, we have to go to the ME Club in the Far East first, and then we can go to St. Freya Academy tomorrow morning."

Bai Mo spoke vaguely as she inhaled the delicious milk tea that made her stomp her feet.

"Why, Bianka, are you nervous? Is it because I’m going to meet Siegfried soon?"

"...A little bit. Does my father know that I’m going?"

"I don’t know, I’ve done a good job of keeping this a secret! Even now, he doesn’t know your current identity; he only knows that you are a Valkyrie of Schicksal."


Bai Mo’s tone was a little excited, "What do you think, Bianka? Don’t you want to give him a surprise?"

"......"

"Surprise... I see, then we’ll see you later."

Durandal was silent for a while on the other end of the phone, then she seemed to have figured something out before speaking.

Then the busy tone of the call came, and Bai Mo guessed blindly that this silly goose should be preparing gifts or something.

"Clang clang! Guess who I am!"

And at this moment, a fragrant breeze blew, and then Bai Mo’s eyes went black as someone covered her eyes with their hands from behind.

It was too close, and even Bai Mo could clearly feel the softness of the back and the familiar body fragrance of the girl.

"It’s Sister Eden! Right!"

Bai Mo’s lips moved slightly, and she said a name.

"Hmm... No! Guess again!"

"Then... Sister Vill-V!"

Sister Vill-V is the oldest!

"......"

"It’s Sister Sakura!"

Seeing that the person didn’t speak, Bai Mo pretended to be surprised.

"Hmm... Lau, if you keep doing this, I will cry."

Seeing that Bai Mo never called her, Elysia pretended to be disappointed.

"Ah! It turns out to be my good Ellie!"


It’s okay to play a prank occasionally. Seeing that the goal was achieved, Bai Mo smiled and hurriedly comforted her, "Hey, give you a hug, don’t cry."

"Don’t do this next time, otherwise, I will be a little emotional!"

Naturally holding Bai Mo’s arm, Elysia pouted and said.

"I know, I know! I will definitely not dare to do it next time!"

Next time for sure!

After a short episode, the two reconciled.

"......"

Book of Fuxi watched from the side with eyes full of disgust.

Doing this in broad daylight, shameless!


Didn’t you see that the faces of those people around them were red?

Actually, they were excited; after all, the Schicksal Valkyries were all scholars in this kind of thing.

"By the way, Aslaug, when are we leaving?"
Deciding to break this inexplicable atmosphere, Book of Fuxi spoke first.

"Everything is ready, now we just have to wait for Bianka to come."

As she spoke, Bai Mo pointed to the distance, the transport ship they were on when they came.

The driver on it smiled and waved his hand after seeing Bai Mo and the others looking over.

"Then we can see your Elmhead tomorrow, right?"

"That’s right!"

"By the way, little ancestor, do you want to buy some gifts for your Elmhead in the Far East?"

Seeing that Book of Fuxi missed Fu Hua so much, Bai Mo also asked with a smile.

"But I don’t have money."

Book of Fuxi was silent for a moment, lowering her head.

"Look at what you said. With our relationship, why don’t you just spend my money?"

Bai Mo said, then hugged Book of Fuxi in her arms. Of course, the latter did not resist.

"Book-chan, you don’t have to be polite to us! And Lau is also a rich woman!" Elysia followed up.




Chapter 379: Hell Lies Ahead

"So... so many zeros!"

Looking at the eleven-digit number in Bai Mo's mobile phone account, Book of Fuxi couldn't help but widen her eyes.

Rich woman!!! Free food!

As an ELF who inherited the memories of Fuxi and Nuwa, Book of Fuxi naturally understood what these numbers meant.

All of a sudden, the burden on her heart completely disappeared. After all, a rich woman is like this!


She had to treat her to a big meal!!!

She must buy two large carts of papayas and nutritional supplements! To give it to the most beautiful elmhead!

Smiling foolishly, Book of Fuxi had already imagined what Fu Hua would look like in the future.

At least... at least it should be a little bigger than Aslaug!

Secretly glancing at Bai Mo's "mountain" that was beginning to take shape and could be covered with a hand, Book of Fuxi muttered to herself.

"Little ancestor, are you thinking about something bad?"

Bai Mo was sending a message to Durandal when she paused after being keenly aware of a gaze. She then turned around.

"Should you be so sensitive? Did you open your third eye?"

"No... no!"

Book of Fuxi stuttered, but the unnatural expression on her face already exposed her.

"Book of Fuxi, you'd better not have any thoughts like that."

"Of course not!"

"That's good."

Although she said so, Bai Mo really didn't care about these things.


Anyway, she just took a look at it, and it's still a piece of meat.

It’s better to say that the less fat on her chest, the better, so it won’t affect her fighting in the future!


Especially considering the weight in Vill-V, won’t her shoulders ache after standing for a long time?


Anyway, she is quite satisfied with her body.

Nodding silently, Bai Mo snuggled in Elysia's arms again in a blink of an eye.

"Hmm~ Lau, do you want to grow bigger too? I’ll tell you a secret, I have a secret!"

Having seen the little movements of the two just now, Elysia suddenly leaned over and whispered in Bai Mo's ear.

She didn't think it was a big deal, after all, girls always care about certain parts of their bodies.


For example, Hua had asked her for advice a long time ago, but it was obvious that her method didn’t work for Hua, so over time, Elysia gave up.

"Hey! I don't want it! I think it's good like this!"

After hearing what Elysia said, Bai Mo immediately crossed her arms and showed a look of disgust.

Of course, what she disliked was the enlargement of her white jade balls, not Elysia's.

"Hehe, Lau, you are not good! There’s nothing wrong with getting bigger!"

Looking at Bai Mo's disgusted expression, Elysia spoke as she was about to grab her, causing Bai Mo to struggle and try to escape from this "cage."

"Just surrender!"

"Don’t! Don’t!"

"Wrong, wrong! Ellie... don’t scratch... hahaha, don’t, very haha, it’s itchy!"

It was a popular segment. Although the interaction between the two was a bit sweet, it was only limited to them.

Little did they know that the pilot of the transport ship had almost bitten her gloves.

However, at this moment, a voice full of doubt came from outside the cabin.


"What are you doing?"

With a head of golden curly hair, Durandal was carrying a suitcase and slowly walked in.

She was also dressed very smartly, wearing a T-shirt on her upper body, sunglasses, and a simple pair of denim hot pants underneath. Those who didn’t know would think she was going on a trip.

It was just different from what she expected. As soon as she entered the door, she saw two people with passion that had nowhere to go.

Although she was used to this yesterday, no matter how she looked at it, she still felt a little...

"......"

Seeing Durandal suddenly appear, Bai Mo was silent.


This gave her a feeling of being caught doing something bad, even though they were just playing around.

Then she looked at Elysia with resentment, and Bai Mo quickly tidied up her messy clothes. Of course, Elysia also helped.

"Bianka, you’re here. Sit down quickly. By the way, isn’t Rita with you?"

Forcing the topic to change, Bai Mo pretended to be calm and spoke, then stood up, closed the hatch, and signaled the pilot to set sail.

"......"

Finally, it can be quiet for a while!


Sure enough, when the straight woman Durandal joined in, a series of chemical reactions occurred!


The pilot silently complained in his heart, then started the engine and slowly rose to the sky with everyone.

"The Immortal Blade still has some business to deal with, so Rita won’t be able to leave for a few days."


And even if Rita wanted to come, you’ve already closed the hatch...


Durandal didn’t say anything else but sat directly opposite Bai Mo.

"I see, so the suitcase contains the gift Bianka prepared for Siegfried?"

Bai Mo pointed to the oversized suitcase under Durandal’s feet and was very curious about what was inside.

"Gift! Can we open it and take a look?"

And Elysia did the same.


Among the people present, I’m afraid only Book of Fuxi didn’t care.

"There’s nothing in it. There are only some awards I’ve won over the years, and some cookies that Rita taught me to make."

As she spoke, Durandal unzipped the suitcase to satisfy the curiosity of the two.

Just as she said, it was indeed filled with those things: countless trophies of various sizes, as well as two strawberry cakes and cookies.

She and Siegfried had been separated for many years, and she really didn’t know what gift to give.


This was the only thing she had.

There were also trophies. Naturally, she wanted to let Siegfried know that her daughter didn’t lose face for her mother.

With a slight smile on her lips, Durandal stroked the trophies and then set her eyes on the cookies she made.

"Would you like to try it? But this is my first time making it, and I was a little rushed, so it may not taste very good."

"Okay..."

Elysia had just said half of the word "Okay" and was about to reach out when Bai Mo pulled her back.

"What's wrong, Lau?" Elysia looked at Bai Mo with a puzzled expression.

"Hehe, let’s do it next time! After all, this is a token of your love for Mr. Siegfried, and it’s extremely precious, so Ellie and I should wait for the next time."


Bai Mo pretended to be calm, and after looking at Elysia, she slowly spoke.

"......"

Kaslana!


Bianka is from Kaslana’s family!


This cooking skill is derived from Dr. Mei’s cooking!

At the same time, she was still using the Power of Sentience to frantically report to Elysia.

"That’s right! This first gift should be given to the family who have been reunited after a long time!"

Then, Miss Pink Elf immediately changed her mind.

Although she understood what Bai Mo meant and had the honor of eating food cooked by Dr. Mei, it didn’t mean that she disliked it.

After all, the girl's heart is the most precious. If Durandal really wants her to taste it, Elysia will naturally not refuse.


Of course, there’s also Bai Mo—she also believes in ber.

But just as Bai Mo said, such precious gift is better to be given to the family who have been reunited after a long time.

"Okay then." Seeing this, Durandal nodded and then closed the suitcase again.

Chapter 380: Arrival at ME Club

It didn’t take long to get from the headquarters to the Far East. With the transport ship accelerating at full speed, everyone soon arrived above the Far East.

Beneath them was the bustling city, with towering buildings everywhere, especially the ‘ME’ logo on a particular building, which stood out even more.

This was Bai Mo’s first time here, and also the first time she had seen the legendary ME Corp. It must be said that the building’s design was impressive, not much worse than Stark Building.

[Rabbit from Miss Elf's House]: “We’re here.”

Sitting in his seat and humming a little tune, Bai Mo took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Siegfried.

The transport ship was quite large, and they had to stop at the top of the building.


While they could technically jump directly down, that would be outrageous, wouldn’t it?

[Siegfried]: "Come directly to ME Club. Ryoma has already greeted them."

Siegfried quickly replied and attached a photo. From the photo, it was clear that Siegfried was already waiting for them on the roof.

Beside him was a man with a blue-purple ponytail, who looked like Ryoma.

[Rabbit From Miss Elf's House]: "No problem."

Bai Mo replied briefly and then relayed the content of the conversation to everyone.

The pilot understood what was meant and began to speed up the transport ship.

"Yes, yes! Bianka, don’t reveal your identity when you see Siegfried later," Bai Mo said with a sly smile, nudging Durandal as the group stood at the door of the cabin.

"Why?" Durandal asked, puzzled. Her original plan had been to tell Siegfried her identity as soon as she saw him again.

"Hey, let him guess first. Then there will be a big reversal. Wouldn’t that be more interesting?" Bai Mo grinned. "If you just go down and say 'father,' the fun will be over!"

"Indeed, the surprise will be stronger this way!" Elysia chimed in, agreeing.

She knew Bai Mo very well!


And she liked this kind of playful thing. After all, she had done similar things in Fire Moth earlier.

"Well... okay then."

After hearing the two’s suggestions, Durandal was still a little moved. In fact, she was curious to see the reaction of her father once he knew her true identity.

Sometimes, she was straightforward, but for matters like this, she understood the fun of keeping the secret.

Anyway, even if they took a step back, this proposal had no disadvantages and wouldn’t affect their recognition as father and daughter.

For a moment, Durandal found herself looking forward to it. Her blue eyes, hidden behind her black sunglasses, were locked on the top of the ME Club building in front of her. A subtle smile tugged at the corner of her mouth.

"Great!" ×2

Seeing that Durandal agreed, Bai Mo and Elysia smiled at each other and clapped their hands.

Book of Fuxi however, was unimpressed by this, as her heart was only set on Fu Hua.



...

There was still a distance of 300 meters before the transport ship arrived at the ME Club. On the roof of the building, two men were leaning against the wall, lighting a cigarette.

"I'm not saying, what are you so nervous about?"
Unable to hold back, Raiden Ryoma turned his head and asked.


Siegfried had been extremely nervous since the beginning, nearly smoking a whole pack of cigarettes in half an hour. He wasn’t this nervous even when facing Honkai beasts on the battlefield.

What? Is there some other monster on the transport ship? What’s there to fear when you’ve confronted even the Herrscher?

"You may not believe it, but I’m a little afraid that Miss Bai will beat me up."

Siegfried smiled bitterly as he answered his friend’s question, then extinguished his cigarette.

"Miss Bai? Is that the one you mentioned, the one who hired mercenaries to rescue me from prison?" Raiden Ryoma asked, somewhat uncertain. He was curious about the kind of person who could make Siegfried so nervous.

But this didn’t quite add up. Siegfried’s fearless personality didn’t seem like the type to be afraid of being beaten by someone.


Was there something strange about this situation?

"Why? You don’t believe it?"

"You look like the kind of person who would take a beating quietly. Tell me, what’s going on here?"
Raiden Ryoma took a deep puff of his cigarette and exhaled.


"Although I’m not that kind of person, the key is that Miss Bai beat me up in the name of Kiana, saying she was venting her anger for Kiana. Do you think I could avoid it?"


Siegfried’s tone was a little sad, and his face looked worn out. It was like holding the emperor hostage to command the princes!


He had even upgraded it, writing his own oral order and using the emperor’s decree to beat him!


Does he to fight back?


Let’s not talk about whether you could beat her or not. If she had done him a favor, what if she told Kiana about it...


Heh, it's just waiting to get beaten by Kiana. He wouldn’t even be able to smile..

"Ahem, this... then... what is her relationship with Mei?" Raiden Ryoma asked carefully, his mouth twitching as he thought of something terrible.


He was worried about what would happen if she used Mei’s name to beat him up a few times.


Should he not fight back, or resist a little...?

It must be said, this was a real threat to these old fathers.

"Why? Are you scared?"

Siegfried leaned closer and patted Ryoma on the shoulder, grinning.

"Are you going to tell it or not?"

"Okay, okay, then I’ll tell you the truth. Before Miss Bai left Saint Freya, she, Kiana, Mei, and Cocolia’s adopted daughter Bronya were inseparable. As for whether the relationship was good or not, you can judge for yourself."

Siegfried smirked, as if avenging some great wrong. He slowly continued, "How about letting you see a joke? Now you can’t laugh, right?"

"..."


Crack!

Raiden Ryoma fell into silence at once.


Seeing that Siegfried had accomplished his goal, he patted the dust off his windbreaker and walked forward, leaving Ryoma in the wind, still thinking about life.

"Whoosh-whoosh-whoosh"

Accompanied by a series of buzzing sounds, the clouds above the building parted, and a transport ship with the symbol of Schicksal slowly descended from the sky and finally landed on an open space.

Chapter 381: The Epic Meeting between Durandal and Siegfried

"Hey, long time no see, Miss Bai Mo."

Watching the transport ship slowly stop and the hatch open, Siegfried ran up and greeted her naturally.

But in fact, he was still a little nervous. He feared that Bai Mo would punch him directly.

However, fortunately, the expected punch did not hit him, which made Siegfried slightly relieved. He then looked at the two people traveling with Bai Mo.

"Who are the others?"

"Long time no see. Oh, you mean them? They are all my friends. This is Book of Fuxi, this is Elysia, and as for this one, I guess I don't need to introduce her."

After Bai Mo introduced them one by one, both parties greeted each other, but only Durandal was kept in suspense by Bai Mo. It was just to see how Siegfried would react, which was also a preparation for the fun later.

"......"

Being pointed out by Bai Mo, Durandal observed her father whom she had not seen for many years.

Since she got off the transport ship, Durandal's eyes had been fixed on Siegfried. She could clearly feel the same blood and strong family affection in the other party.

While revealing her true feelings, Durandal looked at Siegfried with a warm look, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously rose, showing a beautiful arc.


If it weren't for Bai Mo and Elysia's suggestion, she would have said the word "father" at this moment.

"This is..."
Siegfried's expression was a little confused, as if he was thinking about something.

He could feel that the other party was also looking at him, but because of the sunglasses, Siegfried couldn't see the specific look of Durandal at this moment


However, he felt that the other party suddenly have a liking for him.

Could it be?!

For a moment, Siegfried suddenly guessed something, and his eyes suddenly widened. But when he saw Durandal's face clearly, the impulse in his heart quickly cooled down.

A head of golden curly hair, it doesn't look like it's dyed. This can't be the blood of the Kaslana family. Combined with the aura that the other party exuded, this was undoubtedly a warrior who had experienced many battles.

Sighing slightly in his heart, Siegfried quickly confirmed Durandal's identity and spoke, "Bianka Durandal Ataegina, the current strongest S-class Valkyrie of Schicksal, the captain of the Immortal Blade, nice to meet you."

It was also fortunate that his wanted order was lifted, otherwise, he would have definitely run away the moment he saw Durandal.

"He didn't guess it..."

Seeing Siegfried's performance, Elysia in Bai Mo's arm whispered in her ear.

"This is normal. After all, Bianka's characteristics of the Kaslana family are not obvious now, and because she is very famous, it is normal not to recognize her."

Seeing this, Bai Mo explained. The two of them spoke in a low voice, so no one else noticed this.

"...Mr. Siegfried, nice to meet you."

It was inevitable that she was a little disappointed, but suddenly she felt that this was normal. Durandal had to temporarily speak in her S-rank Valkyrie's identity.

It's not too late to recognize each other. She was now looking forward to the moment of the showdown more and more.

"Bianka is my good friend! This time I came mainly to go to St. Freya Academy, so I came along."

Seeing that the scene was awkward for no apparent reason, Bai Mo hurried out to smooth things over and explained the purpose of Durandal's visit.

"I see, let's go in and talk first. It's windy here, and Ryoma has already prepared rooms and meals for you."

"Raiden Ryoma? Is he the one in the corner?"

Bai Mo had already spotted him, but he hadn't said anything.

"Uh... ahem, that's right, he didn't come over just now maybe because he was a little nervous."

"Come over quickly! What is a grown man afraid of! Shame on you!"

While Siegfried was talking, he gestured to Raiden Ryoma frantically.

Soon, the man called Raiden Ryoma also ran over, and at the same time, he didn't forget to glare at Siegfried.

Obviously, he wasn't ready yet.

"Hello, Miss Bai. I heard that you helped me in prison a few days ago. I am very grateful here."

Raiden Ryoma quickly adjusted his mood and used this topic to greet her.

"You are Mei's father and an elder, so don't call me 'you.' Just call me Bai Mo or Aslaug."

Bai Mo responded very politely, but for some reason, she always felt that the look in Raiden Ryoma's eyes when he looked at her was a little wrong, as if he was a little afraid...

Thinking that the other party did not come to say hello at the first time, but hid, Bai Mo was a little at a loss for a while.

"It's okay, it's okay. Then I will call you Miss Bai with Siegfried."

But Raiden Ryoma still insisted. Fortunately, his first impression of Bai Mo was much better.

Is she as bad-tempered as Siegfried said? She looked very polite.

"Then please follow me and let me entertain you."

Then, Raiden Ryoma said again and took out the momentum of the host and made a gesture of invitation.

Is this... my reputation was suddenly damaged?!?

Looking at the strange change in Raiden Ryoma's expression, Bai Mo was puzzled but still came to the reception hall under the guidance of Siegfried and Raiden Ryoma.

The decoration inside was simple, but elegant. Even the tables and chairs were made of the best golden nanmu, and the tea was even better.

But several people didn't understand these; they just felt that it was very comfortable to sit and the tea was very fragrant.

After waiting for everyone to sit down, the meal prepared by Raiden Ryoma was served, and everyone ate while talking about tomorrow's affairs.

This matter had special meaning to most people present, so they talked very enthusiastically.

"Ah..."

Sitting close on the chair, Bai Mo suddenly sighed.

"Hmm? What's wrong with Lau?"
Elysia came over and spoke with some concern.

"Nothing, I'm just afraid of being scolded when I go to St. Freya tomorrow."

Bai Mo turned her head away and spoke with a bitter smile.

Kiana, Mei, Bronya, Himeko, Theresa, she might have a long talk with thwm.

"However, when I think about the people who are being scolded, there is Mr. Siegfried who can help me share some of the firepower, so I'm not so scared."

"Oh, by the way, there is also Mr. Raiden Ryoma."

But suddenly, Bai Mo changed the subject and mentioned the two old fathers present.

"......"

"......"

I can't be the only one who is worried about this matter. Cry for me!






Chapter 382: Sirin

The two people whose names were called fell silent, and their moods were somewhat complicated.

Raiden Ryoma was fine. He wasn’t afraid that Mei would blame him, but Siegfried was different.


After all, with Kiana's personality, she would probably punch him directly, and that would be that.

Raiden Ryoma: "This is the benefit of a good upbringing."

Siegfried: "Don't say anything, just split the firepower."

"By the way, when we go to St. Freya's Academy tomorrow, do we need to say hello to Theresa in advance?"

After a bitter smile, he stopped worrying about those things, then Siegfried suddenly asked.

"No, if we say hello, there will be no surprise. We’ll suddenly appear and scare them. That’s more fun."

Bai Mo waved her hand quickly.

"Don't worry. If we tell Theresa in advance, what if they come out to block me? Then there will definitely be a lecture. We’ll just enter quietly—no shooting! The main goal is to appease Kiana, Mei, and Bronya first."

"Of course, if we meet them on the way, that’s another story. Anyway, there’s always a way to go when the car reaches the mountain. We’ll just take it step by step. Either way, we’ll meet sooner or later; it’s just a matter of time."

"Then..."

After hearing Bai Mo's answer, Siegfried looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated, his eyes unconsciously glancing at Durandal. It was clear that he wanted to say something, but he was unsure if it was appropriate with outsiders present.

"Just say what you want to say. There are no outsiders here," Bai Mo spoke, taking a sip of tea.

I’ve seen people guard against thieves, but I’ve never seen someone guard against their own daughter.

Oh, Siegfried doesn’t know, does he? He left Kiana!


That’s fine.

Durandal said she was innocent, after all. She naturally understood the meaning behind Siegfried's eyes.

"It's about the matter of Sirin's consciousness in Kiana's body. Miss Bai, how do you plan to deal with it?" Siegfried asked the question he was most concerned about.


After all, it was related to Kiana’s safety. As a father, he was naturally very concerned. Even if he trusted Bai Mo, he still needed to know her plan.

"Well, I plan to use the power of the Herrscher of Sentience to separate her from Kiana's body. Then, I will create an extra body for her to live in."

"Of course, it’s better for the core of the Herrscher of the Void to stay in Kiana’s body. After all, if this power is well-controlled, it will be of great help to Kiana in the future."

The Big three becoming Herrschers are indispensable!


Otherwise, there will be no soul, and Kiana must have the power to protect herself. As for some hidden dangers, she will solve them for her.

This is indeed a good way, with a clear goal and a relatively simple approach. But there’s only one thing that Siegfried still feels uneasy about: creating a body for Sirin.


Can she truly let go of her hatred for humans?


Not to mention the thousands who died in the Second Eruption, Siegfried didn’t dare bet on whether she would harbor malice towards humans in the future.

After all, his arm was removed by the other party. He knew all too well the harm of the Second Herrscher.

The great achievements of the Second Herrscher were well-known to every Valkyrie. At her peak, with six Herrscher cores could rain meteorites on Earth from outer space. If the other party hadn’t been so arrogant, humans would have been extinct in the Second Eruption.

In response to this, Raiden Ryoma also frowned slightly. He thought the same as Siegfried and was equally worried about the harm Sirin could cause to humans.

"I know what you are worried about, and I have considered all of this. The standards I used to create a body for Sirin are based on those of ordinary people, and even lower than those of a B-rank Valkyrie."

"Sirin cannot use the core of the Herrscher of the Void because it’s left in Kiana’s body, so you don’t have to worry about what she will do to humans. She’ll be a naughty child at best."

Bai Mo waved her hand and explained patiently.

"In that case, I have no objections. But I still want to ask, Miss Bai, what is your relationship with Sirin?"

Raiden Ryoma asked, as he didn’t understand why Bai Mo would be considering the Second Herrscher.

"Don’t get me wrong. Sirin and I have only met once. She attacked me and stabbed me in the heart."

In short, a life-long friendship!

"Then why..."

Even Siegfried fell silent now.

"It’s not time to reveal the mystery yet. Anyway, you just need to know that I’m doing this for Cecilia. You’ll understand the answer later."

I shed blood for my mother-in-law! I shed sweat for my mother-in-law! I’ll keep all three daughters for you!

"Cecilia?!"

What does this have to do with Cecilia?


Hearing Bai Mo mention his deceased wife, Siegfried became even more confused.

Who am I? Where am I? What did I just hear?

The same was true for Raiden Ryoma and Durandal.

However, Bai Mo didn’t care about these confused looks and continued.

"In addition, as a friendly reminder, the Second Herrscher, Sirin, has been dead for a long time. Although you may not understand this, I’ll explain briefly."

"Kiana Kaslana, numbered K423, is a Herrscher experiment created by Schicksal. At the end of her life, Sirin prayed for a new beginning and wished she could have a different start. Kiana was born in response to that wish. She is the 'second chance' Sirin longed for."

"She and the Herrscher of the Void are two souls born from Sirin's wish—two branches growing from the same tree, stretching in different directions. They share Sirin's feelings and memories, but the latter has more. Then, they each took completely different paths."

"So, do you understand what I’m saying?"

Bai Mo finished speaking, then took a deep look at Siegfried, trying to see his expression clearly.

But unfortunately, Siegfried obviously hadn’t recovered by this time. He was still a little stunned and didn’t respond.

Wait, this newly born ‘Sirin’... is also Kiana?

So, there are two Kianas? No... three?

Am I the father of three children???

Durandal also thought so.

I have another sister for no apparent reason?


After all, if what Bai Mo said is true, the consciousness in Kiana's body that inherited most of Sirin's memories doesn’t seem to have done anything extremely evil.

The only time she acted was in Singapore, when the Gem of Serenity was accidentally revived, but... it seems no one was seriously injured in that action...


Well, one person was indeed injured, but now she’s here, drinking tea, acting like nothing happened.





CHAPTER 383: Bai Mo Wants to Share the Firepower

After three or four minutes, the two finally came to their senses, and their eyes looked at Bai Mo with a little more complexity.

They had accepted Sirin's situation for the time being, but Cecilia and Siegfried were still a little curious about why Bai Mo had suddenly mentioned her.

Not to mention Durandal who knew the inside story—she was like a kitten scratching at her heart, wanting Bai Mo to tell the truth right away.

But helplessly, Bai Mo had that "Don't ask me, I can't say" look, and the two gave up the idea of continuing to ask.

Everything could only be revealed on the day Cecilia was resurrected.

On the side, Elysia looked at Bai Mo's mischievous expression and silently pouted.

Well, who made her curious too!

Although it's normal for cute girls to have some secrets, Lau's own secrets were a little too many.

"Okay, okay, seeing how curious you all are, I’ve already said that I’ll tell you when the time comes, and there will definitely be a lot of surprises by then, so before that, let's all just wait and see."

Even though Elysia couldn’t get Bai Mo to give in, she quickly comforted herself.

Though Elysia was a little willful, she always knew how to control herself and was never unreasonable. So, with Bai Mo's comfort, she quickly returned to her previous state.

Of course, if there weren’t so many people around, she could have taken the opportunity to ask for a kiss or a hug.

The disappointment that quietly passed through her eyes made Bai Mo’s mouth twitch.

Good fellow, this is your real purpose, right!

....................................................

Soon, the meal ended in laughter, and they all returned to the guest room that had been arranged in advance to rest.

In order to welcome everyone, the series of activities arranged by Raiden Ryoma were mainly held at night, such as the hot springs with the characteristics of the Far East, which Elysia was especially looking forward to.

As for Bai Mo, she had soaked in hot springs with Kiana and others when she was at Saint Freya Academy, not to mention Durandal.


With Rita by her side, how could she not have soaked in hot springs?

Everyone knew what Sister Rita was thinking.

Of course, this also applied to Elysia.


Bai Mo couldn’t help but know what she was thinking—the tears were almost falling on her face.

She also mentioned she would steam sauna alone with her before soaking in the hot spring.


Tsk, your state map is really short.

However, Bai Mo did not refuse these. On the contrary, she was looking forward to it and appeared to be enjoying herself.

................

"Tap, tap, tap!"

Just after resting with Elysia in the room for a while, Bai Mo turned around and came to the door of Durandal's room and knocked on it.

It's almost time to deliver this surprise to Siegfried.

Thinking this in her mind, Bai Mo knocked more forcefully.

"Is it Bai?"

Soon, Durandal's voice came from inside, and she turned the handle to open the door.

"Bianka, how did you guess it was me?"

While speaking, a beautiful face came into view, with long golden hair draped over her shoulders and a faint fragrance wafting into her nose. Bai Mo couldn't help but take a few more glances.

She wore a white T-shirt, paired with short denim hot pants, which perfectly showed the girl's graceful figure.

She can have three bowls of rice just from seeing this!!!

"Of course I guessed it. After all, I don’t know many people here, and the only one who can come to see me is you, Bai."

Could it be Siegfried?

After Durandal brought Bai Mo in, she turned around and sat on the bed, glancing at the suitcase in the corner.

"You don’t know many people? Don’t we have Book and Ellie? They are both easy to talk to," Bai Mo spoke softly after sitting down with Durandal.

"They… Miss Elysia is a little too enthusiastic."

"Hehe, Ellie is like that with everyone, just get used to it. After all, this is her— the gorgeous Miss Pink Elf like a flower."

"Indeed, Miss Elysia is a very good person."


Durandal agreed with this point, although she and Elysia hadn’t spent much time together.


Of course, don’t you see whose wife that is!

Hearing this, Bai Mo smiled proudly, then began to change the subject.

"By the way, Bianka, do you want to go with me to find Siegfried?"

"Is it okay?!"

Upon hearing this news, Durandal instantly became interested. She had been waiting for this moment for a long time!

"Of course, I could have said it at the dinner table just now, but there were too many people, and I couldn’t create any atmosphere for you."

Bai Mo waved her hand helplessly.

There must be a lot to say when the father and daughter meet, so it’s better to be a little quieter.

So this is why Bai Mo chose this time to come.

"I'm ready!"

In this matter, Durandal showed extraordinary enthusiasm and immediately ran to the corner to pick up the suitcase, as if she was going to go out now.

"No problem, let’s go!"

Bai Mo smiled and put Durandal’s suitcase into the imaginary space for her, and then took her out of the room.

Gifts and the like, she can just take them out for Durandal when she needs them. Otherwise, it would feel a bit strange to carry this suitcase to find someone.

...........................

Don't be nervous! Don't be nervous! Don’t be nervous!

Important things should be said three times!

Bianka, you must not be nervous! You are the most powerful S-rank Valkyrie! This is not a battle on the battlefield, it’s just to see your father! Don’t be nervous! Don’t be nervous!

The blonde girl kept encouraging herself in her heart, hoping to gather courage.

The distance between the guest room and the reception hall was only a hundred meters. Normally, it would take less than a few seconds to run over there. But even with such a short distance, every step Durandal took was like stepping on cotton.

While she was extremely nervous in her heart, her face showed excitement from the bottom of her heart.

Bai Mo accompanied her, and her hands were almost hurt from being pinched.

On the other hand, Siegfried was now relaxed, sitting on a chair in the reception hall, fiddling with something. It looked like a photo.

---


Chapter 384: Bai Mo: Lao Qi, Do You Want Your Daughter or Not?

In the reception hall of the ME headquarters, Siegfried was leaning on a chair with a smile on his face, his eyes fixed on the yellowed photo in his hand.

Oh no, to be precise, there should be two photos, which he had secretly taken when he was wandering with Kiana in the early years.

The two photos overlapped, and the girls in the photos looked so similar.

His fingertips gently slid across the photos, and Siegfried's weathered face couldn't help but smile.

Are you envious? The two girls in the photos are his daughters.

If there were someone around, Siegfried would definitely say so.

It’s just a pity that only he knows this joy now.

With a bitter smile and a shake of his head, Siegfried pretended to put the photos away and get up to leave.

But at this moment, a familiar voice came from behind him, dispelling his desire to leave.

"Instead of thinking about the past here, it would be better to ask, Mr. Siegfried, have you prepared a gift for Kiana?"

The person who came was Bai Mo. She was holding the still-nervous Durandal and slowly stood in front of Siegfried.

"..." Durandal pretended to be calm, her eyes were erratic, and she didn't dare to look at Siegfried.

"Good afternoon, Miss Bai, and Miss Durandal."

Siegfried didn’t rush to put the photos away, just placed them on the table. He greeted them naturally and then responded, "Of course, as for the gifts, I’ve asked the chefs here to prepare fried chicken and hamburgers."

The ingredients are all top-notch, and I guarantee that Kiana will like them!

"Is that all?"

You really only send food when I ask you to send food? At least you could buy a few new clothes.

Bai Mo looked at Siegfried with a look of disappointment.

"Um... Of course not, but if I need to prepare something, I still need Miss Bai's help." Siegfried noticed something and quickly explained.


When giving gifts, the most important thing should be the thought, but mainly, the Kaslana family is terrible at cooking, and the only thing he could show off—which can be considered a memory worth remembering with time—is the Shamash barbecue.


When he and Kiana were in Siberia, he used this skill a lot. But unfortunately, the Judgment of Shamash is no longer in his possession, so naturally, he can’t reproduce it.


But now that Bai Mo is here, it’s different. He can borrow it, anyway.


"Shamash? You want to bake pizza?"


Bai Mo immediately understood what Siegfried meant. Otherwise, she didn’t know how she could help him. How does the saying go?


The toast is burnt, and the fire is passed on!


"Here, if I remember correctly, toast pizza tastes better when it's burnt a little."

Without any hesitation, Bai Mo took out the Judgement of Shamash and handed it to Siegfried.

"Haha, but by the way, how did Miss Bai know that?"

Siegfried scratched his head a little embarrassedly.


What’s the point of toast pizza being burnt a little? It was just because of his poor cooking skills and the huge power of Shamash that it was burnt by force.

In fact, it didn’t taste good at all, but for the two of them, it was the most delicious toast pizza in the world.

The sadness and warmth contained in it are not to be told to outsiders.

"Of course, Kiana made it for us when we were in Saint Freya, and she burned the pizza on purpose."

"Several times, the microwave exploded because the temperature was too high, and Mei was very distressed about it."

As she said this, Bai Mo's face showed a trace of nostalgia.

Got it! After returning to Saint Freya, she'll let Kiana make another one to try!

"Hahaha, it seems that Kiana also agrees with the burnt toast pizza, then I feel relieved."

When he said this, he didn’t appear as relaxed as he seemed, but no matter what, this man was happy at this moment, full of happiness.

Durandal, on the side, did not speak. She just silently listened to the conversation between the two, and her mind couldn’t help but recall the scenes she had seen in her memory before.

It was like the Kaslana family’s ancestral cooking secrets—cutting onions with eyes closed without crying, and toast pizza being delicious only when it was burnt a little. She had experienced it personally. Although it was only in memory, it was also very real.

So she naturally understood what these few short sentences meant.

"By the way, in addition to these, what about the cat I mentioned, Mr. Siegfried? Didn’t you buy it?"

After talking about the toast pizza, Bai Mo brought the topic back.

"Cat?"

Durandal, who was standing by, became very interested after hearing those two words.

Somehow, she always felt that this matter was directed at her.

"How is it possible? In order to choose the cutest cat, I went to all the pet shops nearby."

"So, did you buy it?"

"Of course I bought it, and the documents are complete. Now it's in my room."

Siegfried spoke with some pride. For this matter, he took a lot of notes and went to many pet shops to do his homework. He was absolutely attentive!

And Bai Mo was relieved after hearing that Siegfried had done the job.

You, Siegfried, finally did something right!


Now, let’s just show my cards!

"Why, Miss Bai wants to supervise it for Kiana?"

Siegfried smiled. He had naturally seen Bai Mo's psychological changes, so this was why he had made this guess.

Am I really that unreliable? Well, it seems like there’s a bit of truth to that.

It makes sense, it makes sense.

But then again, after listening to Bai Mo’s questions, he began to wonder why Bai Mo came to him.

It can’t be that he just happened to see him and came up to ask. Anyway, his intuition told him that the truth wasn’t like that.

And that Durandal—no, it should be said that from the very beginning, the other party had been in a very nervous state, and there was something wrong with her eyes when she occasionally looked at him.

This only deepened his suspicions.

However, just when he was thinking this, Bai Mo’s next words made him unable to stop himself.

Your brain isn’t responding, do you want to force it to close?

"That's right! I'm really here to supervise it on behalf of Kiana, so you should quickly take out the cat... Just in time, let your baby daughter see it."



Chapter 385: Father and Daughter Recognize Each Other

"Just in time! Let your baby daughter see it!"

As Bai Mo said this, Siegfried's brain was struck hard, leaving him speechless.

What? Kiana is here? Can Kiana see? Isn't she at St. Freya Academy?

Turning around and looking back, Siegfried searched for something, but in the end, he couldn’t find Kiana.

Could it be a video call?

But that doesn't make sense. Didn't Miss Bai say she would give Kiana a surprise tomorrow? How could she contact her in advance?

As he thought about it, Siegfried realized he might have been fooled. Looking at Bai Mo, his eyes were filled with helplessness and resentment.

He had really thought Kiana was here and had prepared himself for the possibility of being scolded, but now? It was a false alarm?

"Miss Bai, I said..."

"What? Mr. Siegfried, you don't think I'm joking, do you? You should know that if I wanted to joke, I wouldn't go this far," Bai Mo replied, feigning surprise.

Siegfried's reaction was so real that it only confirmed the universal truth: no father is ever unafraid of his daughter's anger.

"This... Kiana, is she really here?"

For some reason, after hearing Bai Mo’s words, Siegfried visibly panicked.

Her serious tone and expression didn’t seem like a joke at all.

He tensed, preparing for Kiana to suddenly jump out from around the corner and punch him.

He had imagined what meeting Kiana again might be like: being scolded, being hit—but this was too sudden, and he wasn’t mentally prepared.

"..."

Durandal, standing by, couldn’t help but support her forehead. But soon, a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

This was the father she remembered.

But Durandal didn’t speak. Instead, she silently observed, curious to see what Bai Mo would do next.

It was punishment.

Who told him to keep calling Durandal “Miss Durandal”?

Bai Mo immediately understood and grinned, saying with a sly smile, "Not coming."

"Not coming? Then! Then Miss Bai, you..."

The confused man couldn’t find the words to express his frustration. Siegfried felt exhausted, like he'd just been on a roller coaster.

He swore, if it had been anyone else, he would’ve exploded with anger by now!

"Don’t be disappointed, listen to me first," Bai Mo said, stepping in to explain.

This time, she didn’t hide anything. She said it plainly.

"It’s true that Kiana from St. Freya's Academy didn’t come, but I brought another Kiana. She is your biological daughter, Mr. Siegfried, and Mrs. Cecilia’s daughter. I remember mentioning her before."

As she spoke, Bai Mo stepped back to highlight Durandal’s presence.

Unfortunately, Siegfried had been too caught up in his thoughts about Kiana to notice.

"Where is she? Has she arrived at the ME Club?! Or is she in the Far East?!"

This news was like a shock to Siegfried. At this moment, he didn’t care whether Bai Mo was joking or not. Even if there was just a glimmer of hope, he would do anything to see Kiana.

He had a feeling that this wasn’t a joke.

As a father, the guilt, the heartache, and everything else in him surged at the thought of his biological daughter living alone for so many years. All he wanted in that moment was to see her—just one glance!

Even though he had thought Kiana was dead in Siberia, and later heard she was alive, he had always been waiting for the day they would reunite.

But after the excitement came the worry.

Would Kiana still remember him? Would her memory be restored? And if it was, would she hate him? Would she hate him for not rescuing her in time?

He had no doubt he was a failed father.

"So from the beginning, these two gifts..."

After calming down, Siegfried stopped asking about Kiana’s whereabouts and instead asked the question he had just realized.

A bitter smile spread across his face.

"That’s right. From the beginning, these two gifts weren’t just for one person," Bai Mo replied, "Your eldest daughter likes cats, so I asked you to buy one. After all, don’t you think this would make a good reunion gift?"

"In addition, I’ve restored her memory. She missed you very much, so she also came to the Far East."

Bai Mo smiled as she continued.

What are you still hesitating for, Dudu! Hurry up and cuddle up!!!

With her hands behind her back, she frantically signaled to Durandal.

"I..."

When it was time to meet her, especially after hearing that Kiana had restored her memory and was still thinking about him, Siegfried’s voice choked with emotion.

"..."

Durandal felt a pang of sympathy as she saw Siegfried’s reaction. She immediately stepped forward, but the words she wanted to say stuck in her throat.

It wasn’t that she was still nervous, but she didn’t know what words would comfort him, this man named Siegfried—her father.

After regaining her memory, Durandal deeply understood the lengths Siegfried had gone to help her escape Schicksal.

In fact, he had already succeeded initially, but Otto had too many tricks up his sleeve, and Siegfried had been too weak, which led to the unfortunate accident. He was eventually caught by the Valkyrie troops who had come to stop him.

So Durandal had never truly blamed Siegfried, because she knew her father had done everything in his power.

"Mr. Siegfried, your daughter Kiana is far away in the sky, but she is close at hand."

It was really speechless to see the two people’s silent exchange. At this moment, Bai Mo decided to add fuel to the fire.

This is my final ripple!!!

"What?"

Siegfried’s eyes were wide with disbelief as he raised his head. His gaze met Durandal’s blue eyes.

Durandal was also looking at Siegfried, and the two locked eyes.

"So Kiana... Bianka, what are you still hesitating for?"

Bai Mo used the Power of Sentience to speak directly into Durandal’s mind.

"I, Siegfried first... no, it should be said, father."

"Long time no see."

The girl could no longer hold back the emotions bubbling inside her. After saying this, she rushed forward and hugged Siegfried.

"Ki... Kiana..."


----


Chapter 386: Murder



"Kiana, are you really Kiana?"

Siegfried had no intention of asking such a question.

He just hugged the girl in his arms silently. This daughter, who had been separated from him for many years—at this moment, Siegfried felt warmth fill his heart.

Cecilia, did you see that? Our daughter is back, and she is still alive.

Feeling the warmth in his arms, Siegfried smiled.

...............................

"Father, I have a new name now," Durandal suddenly said after a long time.

"I know—Bianka Durandal Ataegina, the strongest S-rank Valkyrie of Schicksal, and the one who inherited the Black Abyss White Flower. Your mother would be proud of you."

The man smiled, raised his thumb as if praising her, and then touched Durandal's head.

Siegfried knew that Durandal had lost her memory and understood the importance of this name to his daughter, so he would not deny Durandal's past. After all, she was his daughter.

No matter the process, the experiences, or the name—in Siegfried's heart, Durandal would always be Kiana and would always be his daughter.

"I will always be your daughter, but if possible, Father, you can call me Bianka in the future. As for the name Kiana, my sister who has inherited it will not let me down."

Feeling the warmth from the top of her head, Durandal's face was slightly flushed at this moment.

Although her voice was steady, she was still a little nervous. The long-lost fatherly love was incomparably precious to her.

"...Bianka."

Durandal's words left Siegfried stunned for a moment.


His thoughts drifted away unconsciously, and the scene in his mind suddenly changed, as if he had returned to the beginning—when the two girls first met.

It was an ordinary morning when two children, who looked alike, met for the first time.

Kiana—now Bianka—was still young at the time. When she saw a girl who looked similar to her for the first time, she couldn't hide her surprise, just like a child seeing their favorite toy.

Similarly, Kiana also had a good impression of the girl named K423.

"Dad, she looks exactly like me! Can she be my sister?"

"Of course. If Kiana wants that, then you will be sisters from now on."

"Okay! I have a sister too!"

The girl's innocent words still echoed in his ears.

Now, time had passed, and although there had been too many twists along the way, this was exactly how fate worked.

What has been done will be done again, and what has been done will be done again.

...........

Slowly coming out of his memories, Siegfried smiled again, "Your sister will not let you down."

Hearing Siegfried's words, Durandal smiled from the bottom of her heart.

At the same time, Siegfried did not forget to look at Bai Mo with gratitude. After all, he knew very well that the reason he was fortunate enough to witness this happy reunion was in large part due to Bai Mo’s efforts.

In fact, this outcome had been orchestrated entirely by her.

"Don't thank me. This is what I should do."

Although the situation had played out somewhat differently from what she had expected, the ending was still a happy one.

Seeing that the father and daughter had finally reunited, a smile appeared on Bai Mo's face as well.

But then again, Siegfried is so grateful to me now. If he knew I had to revive Cecilia, wouldn't he jump up on the spot???

Hmm! It's not impossible!

"By the way, this is the gift Bianka prepared for you before coming here—freshly baked cookies and cakes. Why don't you try them? They're filled with my daughter's love!"

Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, Bai Mo took out a suitcase from the imaginary space and retrieved the cookies and cakes.

At this time, Siegfried was still immersed in the ocean of happiness, so he naturally didn’t think much about it. Moreover, Durandal was also looking at him expectantly, leaving him with no reason to refuse.

As long as his daughter was happy, he would go through fire and water!

With this mindset, Siegfried immediately waved his hand, "How could I not try them?! Look, Daddy will eat it all without leaving a single crumb."

At this moment, Siegfried seemed to be possessed by the god of war and failed to notice Bai Mo’s gloating expression as she listened to his declaration.

You said it—eat it all! It's recorded! You can't go back on your word!

Then, Bai Mo handed the bag of cookies to Durandal. She wouldn’t do something so offensive herself—Durandal could trick her father instead.

"What are you standing there for? Feed him...!"

Although she said she wouldn’t do it, Bai Mo still participated a little by whispering in Durandal’s ear.

"But... wouldn't this be a bit too much?"

Although Durandal said this, her hand honestly reached into the bag.

She was also curious about Siegfried’s evaluation of the cookies she made.

Just like when she made cat food for Stan at home—every time she had a new idea, she would feed it to him with great interest.

"What's the difference between father and daughter? And Bianka, don't you also want to strengthen your relationship with your father? After not seeing each other for so long, what’s wrong with feeding him a cookie?"

"Come on!!"

Seeing that Durandal was hesitating, Bai Mo fanned the flames.

"Okay then."

Whether she convinced herself or Bai Mo’s words had an effect, in the end, Durandal slowly grabbed a handful of cookies.

Yes, a handful. According to her habit—when grabbing cat food, she always took it by the handful...

"Wow! Murder! What grudge or resentment is this?!"

Bai Mo's eyelid twitched when she saw this, and she prepared the Power of Creation just in case.

Meanwhile, Siegfried had no idea that danger was approaching. After all, the cookies in Durandal's hand still looked normal and even emitted a faint fragrance.

Then, he happily opened his mouth, ready to receive the cookie his eldest daughter was about to feed him.

But in the end, Durandal was still nervous. The moment she saw Siegfried open his mouth, she shoved the entire handful of cookies into it.

Not even a single crumb was left...

Then Bai Mo watched with her own eyes as Siegfried's expression changed—from anticipation to surprise, then confusion, pain, and finally, a forced smile.

It could be called the most authentic face-changing act in history.

It must be said—Siegfried's resistance to poison was truly remarkable. As expected of the Kaslana family, his physique was built differently.

Chapter 387: Siegfried Seeking Death



"Ahem, well, my mom... bah, bah, my Ellie called me home for dinner, see you tonight!"

Seeing that Siegfried's soul was about to leave his body and Durandal was still there, at a loss, Bai Mo immediately decided to distance herself from this trouble.

The Kaslana family’s cooking is simply a hellish experience! Not to mention the dishes they make.

If she stayed any longer, Bai Mo was afraid she'd get dragged into it, and the cost would outweigh the benefit.

But she had to admit, the burnt toast pizza Kiana made actually tasted pretty good. At least it was edible!

"Bai..."

Before he could even say "help," Siegfried had already seen Bai Mo running away, so he had no choice but to force himself to swallow the biscuits in his mouth.

At the same time, in order not to hurt Durandal's feelings, he had to pretend that the food tasted good, which was a bit difficult.

The student is better than the teacher, and her cooking talent surpasses his.

"Well done, Bianka."

"Don’t make it again next time, though. Your dad may not have this blessing."

"Really! Here’s another cake!"

Durandal, who had been spoiled by Rita and had never been in the kitchen, had no idea that the Kaslana family’s cooking skills were deadly. She still thought that the tears in Siegfried's eyes just now were because of how delicious the food was.

After all, when she cooked, Rita has this effect. Could it be that Siegfried naturally learned it from Rita?

With this in mind, and encouraged by Siegfried, Durandal immediately took out the cake she had made.

"......"

Siegfried's mouth twitched, and he wanted to beat himself up for speaking so meanly just a few seconds ago.

But in order to create a good image in front of Durandal, he had to nod and agree.

The cake looked bright and beautiful on the surface, but the taste was really indescribable when eaten.

For a moment, Siegfried felt like he saw Cecilia waving at him.

"By the way, cut a few more pieces of this cake later and give some to Miss Bai, and also to Ryoma, after all, good things should be shared."

The man with full poison resistance smiled with a forced grin.

Look at the joke, right? Don’t even think about running away!

How could he not know Bai Mo’s clumsy lie? It was obviously intentional. He had been with Kiana all day before, so how could he not know the cooking level of the Kaslana family?

Eat! Eat it all for me! Even if he got beaten by Kiana afterwards, he would accept it.

What? Why let Raiden Ryoma eat it?

What a joke! Haven’t you heard the old saying in Shenzhou? Happiness is meant to be shared.

"Well... Bai really helped me a lot. Don’t worry, Father. I’ll leave an extra portion for Bai!"

Watching Siegfried finish the cake with a smile on his face, Durandal became more confident in her cooking skills.

At the same time, recalling Bai Mo’s help to her during this period, she wanted to express her gratitude from the bottom of her heart. Since giving a gift wouldn't do, this thought seemed the best way to show appreciation.

Nodding to herself, Durandal couldn’t help but think of Rita and Kiana.

No favoritism allowed. Everyone must have a share!

"Um... cream is something that you girls will get fat from if you eat too much, so it’s better to eat it in moderation, just in moderation."

Siegfried really wanted to trick Bai Mo, but he didn’t want to die. Seeing that Durandal was interested again, he hurried to stop her.

But for some reason, he felt a chill on his back, as if he were being stared at by many people.

It’s strange.

"Okay then."

Durandal thought about it and nodded. Indeed, cream has too many calories, and eating too much isn’t good.

She cut the cake into two pieces and placed them on the table, planning to give them later.

"By the way, Father, Bai said you bought a cat before, can I go and see it?"

Suddenly, Durandal remembered this.

"Let’s go! Dad will take you there now!"

Without hesitation, Siegfried smiled and said immediately.

......................................................

"What’s wrong with you, Aslaug? Did you do something bad? Why are you so nervous?"

Seeing Bai Mo lock the door as soon as she entered, looking nervous, Book of Fuxi asked three questions in a row.

There’s gossip! I can enjoy it!

This was her first reaction.

"Don’t mention it. If you had walked slower, I would’ve almost died there. Forget it. Little ancestor, get me a glass of water."

"Oh!"

Bai Mo leaned against the doorframe, a little out of breath.

When Siegfried left, it was obvious that he had wanted to drag her down with him.

Ungrateful! Fortunately, she ran fast.

"Hey, here’s your water. Now, can you tell me what happened?"

Watching Bai Mo finish the water, Book of Fuxi lay on the Tai Chi ball, her hands on her cheeks, clearly ready to enjoy the drama.

"You can talk, but where’s Ellie? Is she out?"

Bai Mo looked around but didn’t find Elysia. Logically, Elysia would never miss such a famous scene of eating gossip.

"Hehe, did Lau miss me? I’m taking a shower! Do you want to come in and talk? It’s warm inside~♪"

But the next second, Elysia's voice came from the bathroom.

Bai Mo looked in the direction of the voice and saw a half-closed door. Inside, Elysia was still doing hair care.

Obviously, this was preparation for a hot spring bath later.

"Forget it, I’ll talk outside."

"Okay then~♪"

The main reason was that Book of Fuxi was here. She couldn’t go in and relax, since no one would believe that Elysia invited her into the bathroom just to tell a story.

Book of Fuxi, you're messing with my business!

"Hurry up and tell me!"

Book of Fuxi was already a little impatient, holding a bag of melon seeds in her hand.

"Okay, okay." After thinking for a moment, Bai Mo described the scene of Durandal and Siegfried recognizing each other in detail.

..................

"So you understand, Ellie, the genes of the Kaslana family are more inherited from Dr. Mei, and they are more useful," Bai Mo spoke seriously, shaking her head.

"Yeah!" Listening to Bai Mo’s words, Ellie felt impressed. She vaguely remembered that after Kevin became a MANTIS, he also tried the food cooked by Mei, but the result was unsurprising—he ended up in the hospital.

"By the way, Lau, don’t you have a friend who looks like Mei? How’s her cooking?" Ellie asked curiously.

"Mei’s cooking is superb! Only slightly inferior to Sister Vill-V."

"Don’t worry, you can eat it tomorrow, Ellie."

"I want to eat it too!"

This is the Book of Fuxi.

----

Chapter 388: Gift

The next morning, at the ME headquarters building.

It was just dawn, and there was still half an hour to prepare before everyone set off for St. Freya Academy.

Unlike the tension in Siegfried’s or Raiden Ryoma’s rooms, Bai Mo and Elysia’s room was filled with joy at this time.

Elysia peeked in front of the sink, obviously not intending to stop.

"Hmph, since you are so sincere, Aslaug, I will forgive you this time!" Book of Fuxi, sitting on the Tai Chi ball with her short legs crossed, crossed her arms and said with disdain.

"Okay, okay, little ancestor, you’re generous. Don’t bother with me." Bai Mo, feeling a little proud, gave away the lollipop in her hand.

Well! It looks like I can still trick you next time!

Anyway, the ELF won’t get sick no matter how much it eats. It’s a natural nemesis of the Kaslana family.

Thinking back to the scene when she forced Book of Fuxi to eat the cake for her last night, Bai Mo felt much better. Although she herself had inevitably eaten a few bites, she was still far behind Book of Fuxi.

It was because of this that Book of Fuxi was angry all night, and it wasn’t until she woke up that she calmed down after Bai Mo’s coaxing.

There was no way around it—eating such a big piece of cake would really kill the Herrscher! Gastric lavage was useless!

Bai Mo was reluctant to let Elysia eat it, so the only one who suffered was Book of Fuxi. After all, the taste system of the ELF could be temporarily blocked.

Although Book of Fuxi crashed after eating it, Bai Mo had also applied the Power of Creation to herself several times before she recovered.

In fact, among all the people, the most unlucky one was Raiden Ryoma. After taking a bite, he fell to the ground unconscious. Siegfried had to pinch his philtrum several times before he woke up.

Then the two of them fought. After all, Raiden Ryoma had only been able to eat the cake because it had been entirely planned by Siegfried.

After this incident, Durandal finally understood how "excellent" her cooking talent was. At the same time, she also realized why Rita never dared to let her cook.

It was a miracle that Stan was still alive!

This was a true portrayal of Durandal's heart at that time.

"Also, Aslaug, you promised me that when we get to the place called St. Freya Academy, I can act alone and look for Elmhead."

Book of Fuxi suddenly emphasized after a while. This was one of the conditions she required to forgive Bai Mo, and she had finally won it!

Little did Bai Mo know, she had been thinking this way. When they arrived at St. Freya, he would let Book of Fuxi go find Fu Hua by herself.

So this time, Book of Fuxi was completely victorious.

"Don’t worry, I can’t lie to anyone but you, my little ancestor. Of course, if Fu Hua really doesn’t remember you, Book of Fuxi, don’t come crying to me."

After combing her hair and putting on the hair accessories, Bai Mo waved her hand, pretending to be disgusted.

Book of Fuxi: "Elmhead, here I come!"

Fu Hua: "Inch Force!"

That scene is a bit funny when you think about it. After all, "blockhead," "antique," and "Shenzhou Tablet" were hardly compliments for Fu Hua.

"I won’t cry! I don’t believe that blockhead can really forget me!"

Although Book of Fuxi didn’t know what Bai Mo was thinking, she immediately retorted loudly, feeling a chill down her spine. But after hearing what Bai Mo said, she feared that Fu Hua might actually forget her. After all, the feelings of so many years could fade. It would be a lie to say she wasn’t sad.

"No... But, if Elmhead really forgot me, Aslaug... you..."

"Don’t worry, as long as Fu Hua wants, I can find her anytime and anywhere. But you need to have some confidence in her—maybe she hasn’t forgotten you at all."

Bai Mo comforted Book of Fuxi gently, patting her head.

"Well! I believe in Elmhead!"

With that, Book of Fuxi regained her previous confidence and turned to tinker with the gift she had prepared for Fu Hua.

She was so secretive about it that she didn’t even let Bai Mo and Elysia see it!

Unlike her, who would openly buy any gift and let anyone see it, Book of Fuxi was far more discreet.

For example, she brought kitchenware (made by Vill-V) for Mei, food from other worlds (from Teyvat and Terra) for Kiana, and the latest limited edition handheld game console for Bronya, as well as a box of game cartridges.

She had also brought a bitter melon juicer and Homu peripherals for Theresa—again, made by Vill-V at Bai Mo’s request—and of course, there was Himeko. Bai Mo prepared a few bottles of wine brewed with purple Helen for her (taken from Eden).

The gifts could be said to be tailored, and the preparations were quite complete.

Even Elysia had carved five crystal roses by hand, engraving each person's name on them, full of heartfelt effort.

"Don’t move! Let me borrow your eyes to look in the mirror~♪"

Suddenly, Elysia came over, put her hands on Bai Mo’s shoulders, squatted down, and the two looked at each other affectionately. "Hmm, what do you think, Lau? Am I pretty today~♪"

Today, Elysia wore a pink dress, with light eyeshadow on the corners of her eyes and a little lipstick on her cherry lips.

It couldn’t even be considered light makeup; after all, her flawless face didn’t need any embellishment at all.

"Not pretty! So Ellie, you’d better take off your makeup quickly, otherwise, I’m afraid you’ll be snatched away by the bad woman outside!"

Seeing Elysia’s playful look, Bai Mo spoke very seriously.

"Ah! It seems that Lau is jealous, but don’t worry, after all, Miss Elf won’t go anywhere~♪"

Elysia said with a smile. Then, as if thinking of something, a sly smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. "So, Lau, are you going to stamp Miss Fairy~♪"

At the same time, Elysia gently pulled down her collar, revealing her seductive collarbone.

"You came to me on your own, Ellie! But let me make it clear first, Ellie, you are not allowed to stamp me."

Lipstick marks are not easy to wipe off, and if Kiana and the others see it, wouldn’t it be embarrassing?


After hesitating for a long time, Bai Mo emphasized.

"Don’t worry, I’ll save the stamp for next time."

"And remember to hurry up, after all, the time is almost up~♪"

"Don’t rush me, I have to find a good position first."




Chapter 389: Kiana's Concern

.................. At the same time, at Saint Freya Academy.

It had been several days since Fu Hua promised Kiana that she would take her to World Serpent.

During this time, Kiana went to Fu Hua almost every day to ask her about her intention to leave during training.

But unfortunately, Fu Hua have made new discoveries about her memory recently, as if she had found something, so she had been meditating all the time and might not be able to leave the house in the short term.

However, to reassure Kiana, Fu Hua also promised that as soon as she finished meditating, she would immediately leave and take Kiana to World Serpent.

After hearing this, Kiana's mood improved a lot.

The day she had been waiting for was finally approaching. While she was secretly happy, her attitude toward studying had also improved a lot recently, and her test scores had finally gone up. Himeko celebrated this with Theresa a lot.

When several people asked why Kiana had become so sensible recently, Kiana was vague and did not tell them the truth.

Including Fu Hua, Kiana also asked her to keep it secret, as she did not want Himeko and Theresa to know about this matter.

After all, if the two knew about it, they would inevitably feel sad and concerned.

The reason for this was that from the time Bai Mo disappeared until now, the two had never produced any direct evidence to show that Bai Mo had returned to Shenzhou to visit relatives. Later, there was no news at all. So if Kiana took the initiative to mention this matter to them at this time, wouldn’t it be like rubbing salt into the wound?

The method of keeping silent was indeed effective, but when someone wanted to break it, it would definitely cause a series of chain reactions.

Kiana was not stupid; she just didn’t want to use her brain occasionally. She naturally knew this truth and chose to conceal everything.

If they went to World Serpent and found the truth they and everyone else wanted, then everyone would be happy. If they couldn't find it, they would just continue looking for it, and because of confidentiality, everyone could still remain the same, unless one day there was truly no way to continue.

After all, from all perspectives, Kiana and the others also hoped for progress in news from Himeko and Theresa.

This matter was a knot in everyone’s heart. If they said they gave up, it was impossible.

.......................

At this time, in Himeko's apartment, Kiana was wearing green dinosaur pajamas, lying on the sofa, with test papers and draft papers scattered on the ground. It was clear how hard Kiana had worked during this period.

She looked exhausted.

"Bronya, you stepped on my tail again..."

Because these pajamas were not a one-piece suit, Kiana turned her head suddenly when she felt her pants fall off and looked at Bronya with great resentment. The green dinosaur's tail was long, stretching from the sofa to the ground. Bronya yawned and put down the game controller. She wanted to go over to drink a glass of water but didn't expect to step on it directly.

"So, does Idiot Kiana feel pain too?"

After drinking the water, Bronya freed her hands to push Kiana into the sofa and stuffed her tail into the seat for her; otherwise, she would step on it eight hundred times a day.

There was only a big table in the living room, which was used for eating and studying. There were two sofas next to it, and Kiana occupied them all by herself. She always put the sofas together and rolled on them.

Sometimes, she could even mark the floor as her own territory. If the floor was not covered with a blanket and cleaned well, Bronya would almost think that Kiana was there to clean.

"Of course it hurts; this is a phantom limb!"

Kiana sat up straight, hugged her precious tail in her arms, and rubbed it with her face. After all, Kiana was still the same as before. She quarreled with Bronya every day, which could almost be said to be a daily routine.

And Bronya was very happy with this. After all, sometimes when Seele was not around, playing with Kiana could be considered a spice of life.

Oh, and Sister Mei. Sometimes Mei would join in and play with the two for a while.

"......"

Bronya rolled her eyes at Kiana and then found a place to sit down.

Seeing this, Kiana quickly moved her body to make some space.

"Tell me, Idiot Kiana, what's on your mind recently?"

As soon as she sat down, Bronya immediately turned around, looked into Kiana's eyes, and said, so fast that she didn't give her any time to react.

"Hey? Ah? I... What could I be worried about? Bronya, don't say anything."

Kiana hugged the tail in her arms tighter when she was nervous, and her words began to stutter.

Should I be so sensitive?


She complained silently in her heart.

Bronya naturally noticed Kiana’s unnaturalness now, and her guess became more and more certain.

Kiana definitely had a problem!


She had been too abnormal recently. Not only had her grades risen sharply, but she also liked to go to the class leader for training.


You know, if it were normal, Kiana would avoid it as much as possible, let alone take the initiative to go to her.

And even so, not to mention being beaten every day, she always looked happy when she came back.


But was she really as relaxed as she seemed?

In Bronya's opinion, it wasn’t like that. Mei also noticed it, but the two of them tacitly didn’t say anything, wanting to observe what was wrong with Kiana silently.

But today was different. The training had come to an end for the time being, so the two of them unanimously decided to go and test the waters to see if they could find out anything.

"Is it about Amo?"

Bronya's tone was very calm, but when she said this, her eyes also flashed with a trace of sadness.

Although this sentence was a test, Bronya always felt that this was the truth of the matter.

Besides that, she really couldn't think of anything else that could make Kiana like this.

After all, Fu Hua was the only person who might know the truth about Bai Mo's disappearance, so it was hard for her not to think that Kiana went to Fu Hua to ask about this matter.

"In the end, Bronya, you still saw it."

Kiana smiled bitterly and scratched her hair. She didn’t deny it. She thought she had hidden it well.

Or, after being discovered, she no longer wanted to continue hiding it.

"So, if Kiana has something on her mind, can you tell us?"

Mei also walked out of the room and said gently.


---

Chapter 390: The Three People Who Decided to Go to the World Serpent Together

"Mei..."

Kiana looked at Mei, who had come from behind, and said softly, her head down.

Both of them looked at her. How should she start talking about this matter? For a moment, Kiana was in a dilemma.

"Have you known for a long time?"

For some reason, after being exposed, Kiana felt a rare sense of relief.

"Idiot Kiana never hides her feelings. If it weren't for Teacher Himeko being busy these days, maybe it wouldn't be Bronya and Mei asking questions now."

Bronya said silently, and Mei nodded in agreement.

Indeed, Kiana has never been good at hiding things.

"So, Kiana, did you go to the class monitor about Amo?"

Mei asked her question.

"Is there any news?"

Bronya followed closely, both of them very concerned about this issue.

"I went to the squad leader about Amo, but..."

"But what?"

Mei's tone was gentle, not anxious, but curious.

"I didn't ask about Amo directly. I asked the class monitor to take me with her when she went to the World Serpent."

"So, Kiana, what you really want to do is confirm that thing."

Hearing this, Bronya actually understood what Kiana really wanted to do.

"Yeah."

Kiana nodded silently.

Questioning March 7th or Aslaug in person, asking if she was Bai Mo, was a decision made after the three of them had unanimously agreed.


But what Bronya didn't expect was that Kiana would want to take action so quickly.

However, it must be mentioned that this is indeed a good opportunity to leave Saint Freya and follow Fu Hua to the World Serpent.

There are some hidden dangers in terms of safety. After all, even if the World Serpent no longer implements the [Project Stigma], it is still not to be underestimated. Maybe they gave up the [Project Stigma] just to plan something new.

In short, in Bronya's eyes, the World Serpent organization is full of dangers.

Although these people were warriors and heroes against the Honkai in the previous era, she had to be wary due to the existence of the [Project Stigma].

People in this era move forward in their own steps, not as puppets that are wound with clockwork and can only move forward along a fixed path.

Including Mei, when she heard that Kiana was going to follow Fu Hua to the World Serpent, her face was full of worry.

"When will the class monitor leave?"

"After the meditation is over. Class Monitor said she has recovered a lot of memories recently, so she needs to rest for a while."

Looking at Mei's worried eyes, Kiana smiled and reassured her.

"Can we go together? It would be good to take care of each other. After all, it’s still very dangerous to go to the World Serpent headquarters rashly."

In recent days, Mei has perfectly mastered the power of the Herrscher of Thunder in her body. It is also very convenient to communicate with another personality. Moreover, in critical moments, she can let another self control the body to fight. Her combat power has greatly improved.

Although this power may be too weak compared to those warriors in the previous era, Mei was still worried about letting Kiana go alone.

The former Fu Hua is fine. After all, she was a comrade-in-arms with those warriors before she lost her memory, but Kiana is not.

"Bronya also thinks this is the best way."

"But... I still need to ask the class monitor about this in detail. If all three of us go, what should Teacher Himeko and my aunt say?"

Kiana didn't know how Himeko and Theresa viewed the relationship between Aslaug and Bai Mo, so she was hesitant.

Because if she went alone, she could still find an excuse to say she was going to practice with Fu Hua along the way, but if there were more people, there would be no suitable excuse.

"......"

"......"

After hearing Kiana's question, the two were silent for a few seconds.

Should we sneak out? The wall of Saint Freya Academy isn't high, and even Kiana can easily climb over it.

Let's not talk about the risks for now.

Bronya simulated the possibility of this approach in her mind and finally concluded that [it’s feasible].

As for Mei, she was already thinking about how to ask Theresa for leave, saying she was going home to get something.

Although this reason sounds a bit far-fetched, it is also very reasonable.

"Don't worry, Kiana. You just need to get the class monitor to agree to take us, and we’ll find a way to do the rest."

Mei looked at Bronya and nodded, patting her chest as she promised.

"Okay, I'll tell the class monitor about this in the afternoon!"

Seeing that the two had made up their minds, Kiana reluctantly agreed.

Well, after all, it's useless to say anything else now.

"Well, then I'll leave this matter to you, Kiana." Mei smiled and gently hugged her from behind the sofa. "Thank you for your hard work."

"Thank you for your hard work, stupid Kiana."

Bronya also smiled.

"It's not that hard, but if Mei insists on making me fried chicken, I don't mind!"

Facing the concern of the two, Kiana put her index finger on her lips, hinting intentionally or unintentionally.

After saying what was buried in her heart, she felt much more relaxed and no longer looked as worried as before.

Pretending not to see Bronya's speechless look, Kiana made a face at her.

"It's not good to eat these early in the morning... Forget it, let's make an exception today. Kiana, you and Bronya wait here obediently."

Seeing this, Mei, who had been standing aside, finally couldn't refuse and turned to walk toward the kitchen.

"Great!"

Kiana raised her hands and shouted.

For a while, only Kiana and Bronya were left in the living room.

"Stupid Kiana, do you dare to weigh yourself after eating fried chicken?"

Like the whisper of a devil, Bronya said with a sly smile.

"Me! What is there for me to be afraid of! Eating fried chicken... I won’t get fat."

After hearing this, Kiana felt like she was facing a great enemy, but she still pretended to be calm on the surface and said stubbornly.

Well... I won’t gain a few pounds, right?

While Bronya wasn’t paying attention, Kiana slowly put her hand on her waist...
