Two Beatings Should Teach You (Continued)

Then Siegfried looked at Raiden Ryoma and said, "So, all we can do now is pray that that bastard dies soon, right?"

"Um... how so?" Raiden Ryoma showed a hint of interest.

"Look, that guy's offended a lot of women this time, hasn't he? Let's see if we can add fuel to the fire and get him hacked to pieces?"

"... Hey, is it really okay for you to talk about how to incite others to kill my teacher in front of me, your own disciple?"

Kevin pressed down on the necks of the two men from behind, then sighed.

"Sigh, if you ask me, you two should just give up. Even if you two manage to keep your daughter in check, won't she still be crying all the time? Do you really want your daughter to cry every time she sees you, her father?"

"..."

"..."

The two middle-aged men fell silent.

Kevin may seem carefree now, but he is undoubtedly the most experienced person present. He is only carefree now because the people he trusts are all around him, so he simply shuts down his brain.

Sometimes it's fun to not think too much!

Both Raiden Ryoma and Siegfried showed expressions of being persuaded.

"While that makes some sense... what if the Alliance Leader gets hacked to death?"

"A machete? What machete? Is that a new slang term among young people?"

The sudden sound from behind startled the two of them.

"Lady Reanna (Nanny)?"

"Good morning, very expensive lady." Kevin had already heard Reanna's footsteps, so he wasn't surprised at all.

"That title, Lord Kevin..."

Reanna showed a subtle expression when she heard Kevin's greeting.

"Just call me by my name; this nickname is too strange."

"Well... it's just a reminder to myself."

Kevin sized up Reanna while keeping his distance.

Eight or nine out of ten parts of her body are Soul Steel... Kevin really wanted to spar with Reanna, this battle-hardened Soul Steel Valkyrie, but after thinking about it, he realized he couldn't afford to pay for the damage if any of her parts got broken...

In short, it's best to keep your distance if possible.

"By the way, what are the three of you doing gathered outside the door?"

The Valkyrie dorms... well, they're girls' dorms, okay.

Isn't it a bit inappropriate for two middle-aged men and a perpetually frozen meat to be blocking the doorway?

"To pick up my daughter."

Raiden Ryoma and Siegfried spoke with stern faces.

"... But your two daughters' dorm rooms are right here?"

Reanna tilted her head. "Where are you two headed?"

"..."

After Reanna said that, the two fell silent.

It seems... that's really the case?

"We have to go out for breakfast, right?"

"There's a kitchen in the dorm, and some people know how to cook. Why would you come out here?"

Reanna looked at the two of them with loving eyes.

Although Valkyrie's dormitory is called a dormitory, it is actually a luxury suite with all the necessary functions, okay?

In the past, people went to the cafeteria because most Valkyrie hadn't learned any cooking skills or didn't have much time. Now that some people have free time, why go out to eat?

"Then what is this...?"

"Going out to buy groceries."

Mei came over from behind and answered for Reanna.

"Senior sister, you were just thrown out of the kitchen, weren't you?" Kevin said mercilessly from the side.

"Kevin, Herrscher of a Thousand have recently appeared. Go and take care of her for me."

Mei coldly threw Kevin a task that he couldn't possibly complete alone.

Upon hearing this, Kevin immediately gave a smirk.

A thousand people? That's a tough job for Xiaoqiang, okay? If I take on that task myself, it'll take forever to finish.

"Alright, you three, stop lingering here. It's not a good look."

Reanna waved her hand. "Three grown men betting at the girls' dormitory and even peeking through the door—aren't they ashamed if word gets out?"

"This..." Siegfried and Raiden Ryoma exchanged a glance, both looking unwilling.

"By the way, Siegfried, go find Gray Serpent. He has information about your wife. Go and talk to him yourself."

"Gray Serpent?"

Upon hearing about his wife's situation, Siegfried immediately perked up.

"Go and find out what's going on, and prepare yourself mentally. The Cecilia resuscitation experiment will begin this afternoon." Mei's follow-up sentence almost made Siegfried jump up.

At this moment, Raiden Ryoma couldn't help but show an envious expression.

Congratulations, bro.

"Yes, yes..." Siegfried's mouth was already a little slurred, "Well, without further ado, I'm going to find Gray Serpent now."

Siegfried immediately fled.

"... How come it looks like I'm the only lonely old man left?"

Raiden Ryoma sighed, looking slightly depressed.

"Perhaps I really should start preparing for my grandson?"

Why did I end up among this group of people?

"Miss Cocolia, please bring me the soy sauce."

"Ah... oh oh..." Cocolia, who was cooking in the kitchen, seemed to wake up from a dream and handed the soy sauce next to her to the red-haired cook next to her. "Um, Senior Su Mei, please don't call me Miss anymore..."

"Isn't Miss Cocolia quite young too?" Su Mei said casually with a smile.

"... I really don't know where to begin with what you just said."

"Believe me, among our group, let alone the average, Miss Cocolia, your age doesn't even reach the median."

Cocolia was speechless upon hearing this, and upon thinking about it, it did seem to be true.

The age composition of this group is unknown, with one or two starting at 50,000 years old, several at 400 or 500 years old, several at 70 or 80 years old, and below them are people like her and Ragna in their 30s or 40s... Those in their teens or 20s have become a minority in this group.

"But then again, I still don't know why I'm in this group..."

Cocolia washed the vegetables while looking up at the ceiling.

Something's definitely not right here, is it?

"Wow... the equipment from 500 years in the future is truly amazing..."

Su Mei expressed her amazement at the induction cooker before she came to her senses.

"What did you just say? Why are you here, right?"

"Yes."

"Perhaps it's because you don't object to it either?"

"Not opposed?" Cocolia frowned, then sighed. "That's true."

Nothing lasts forever; when you're idle, you're prone to overthinking. Even a strong woman like her occasionally thinks about personal matters—or rather, Edison and his Edison set a bad precedent for this.

"It's just that the feeling of hanging out with my own daughter is... kind of complicated."

"We apprentices still hang out with our master."

Su Mei cracked the egg while laughing.

"To put it bluntly, we have improper thoughts about our master, Cocolia?"

"..."

Cocolia's eye twitched.

Although Su Mei spoke lightly, a closer look reveals that their Tai Xu Sword Sect truly is an incredibly messy and unmanageable situation.

From Fu Hua to Li Sushang, these three generations have been mixed together, and with Liu Bai as the target, that makes four generations. If we go into details, they have already trampled on so-called worldly ethics, okay? Compared to the Tai Xu Sword Sect, her mixing with her own daughter is nothing.

"... I have absolutely no idea whether this is comforting or not."

Cocolia let out a long sigh.

There's no comfort in comparing who's worse off; it doesn't bring any joy at all.

As the two were chatting casually, a commotion broke out outside.

"Auntie, Auntie!!"

Li Sushang excitedly ran into the kitchen.

"Grandmaster and stepmother are fighting! They're already exchanging sword strikes outside! Would you like to go and take a look?"

"Which grandmaster do you have?"

"That silly grandmaster, I guess."

Li Sushang said this as a matter of course.

"When my grandmaster and stepmother were cooking in the kitchen next door, my stepmother picked a fight with my silly grandmaster, and then my silly grandmaster punched my stepmother. Then the two of them went outside to activate their sword god skills while they were fighting."

"Ling Shuang really doesn't learn her lesson..."

Su Mei sighed.

You're going to pick a fight with the Herrscher? Do you really think that guy is as easygoing as our Master?

That thing is just a husky, okay? If you bite her, she'll definitely bite you back.

Although Su Mei hadn't been out of the freeze for long, she had already gained some understanding of her Herrscher mentor.

"If I remember correctly, Master is also inside Master Shi's body? Is Ling Shuang fighting two at once?"

Fu Hua kept her word at the time. After the matter with Liu Bai was over, Fu Hua returned her body to Shibao, but she herself stayed in Shibao's spiritual world.

It seems like the two of them are getting along quite well so far?

"Go find your great-grandfather and separate those two. I'm not going."

"There are two sword gods fighting each other outside! The scene is quite something..."

Li Sushang looked very interested. "Auntie, haven't you reached a bottleneck? Go out and observe some other places; maybe you can break through it in no time!"

"Breakthrough?"

Su Mei looked helplessly at her own girl, stretched out a hand towards Li Sushang, and the next moment, a small but powerful sword aura that Li Sushang was extremely familiar with emanated from Su Mei's sleeve.

"Auntie? When did you become a sword master?" Li Sushang's jaw nearly dropped in astonishment as she stared at the seemingly harmless sword energy.

"Silly girl, I realized this when I brought you and your second mother down from Tai Xu Mountain ... Su Mei, one of the Seven Swords of Taixu, has been buried on Tai Xu Mountain. The one who will continue to live in the world is a brand new Su Mei —this is what is meant by 'long confined in a cage, but now able to return to nature.'"

Su Mei flicked Li Sushang's forehead.

"Just came down the mountain..."

Li Sushang counted the time on her fingers.

"Then didn't you already know it, Auntie? You never mentioned it, and neither did my second aunt."

"Yes, I know it, but what good is it? It's just a skill for fighting and killing, what use is it to me? So I didn't tell anyone."

"How could this be..."
