Could You Keep a Little Distance?! (Continued)

However, the possibility of illusion cannot be completely ruled out—after all, Liu Bai still cannot understand why some people can see subtitles on animals or robots stealing their own vegetables after eating mushrooms.

To be honest, isn't this kind of "illusion" several times better than those illusions that the protagonist can confirm by calling the system?

If it were some kind of illusion constructed based on one's own understanding, it wouldn't be so incomprehensible if it could create a system panel.

Liu Bai thought for a moment and then summoned Xueyi from the pot—to see what was going on with Xueyi.

"... Lord Liu Bai?" Xueyi, who suddenly appeared, was taken aback for a moment before her gaze locked onto Liu Bai —clearly, Xueyi must have been daydreaming in the pot before this.

"Xueyi, can you say something I don't understand?"

"Hmm?" Xueyi tilted her head, looking somewhat confused.

"It doesn't need to be too confidential, something a little obscure will do," Bai added.

"Uncommon? The structure of the Xianzhou Mechanized Bird is..." Xueyi thought for a moment, and she actually Remembrance something that wasn't a secret but was uncommon.

"Alright, it seems this isn't an illusion."

"... With me here, you need not worry about ordinary illusions."

As a judge, he certainly possesses this level of professionalism.

Then, Xueyi expressionlessly took out the Demon-Slaying Cone.

"So, this is..."

"For areas you don't know, Xueyi, do you have any clues?"

Xueyi surveyed the magnificent, opulent room, her eyes flickering slightly.

"... We can't draw any conclusions yet, let's go out and take a look first."

"Alright."

Liu Bai nodded, walked to the door and opened it, with Xueyi following behind.

After opening the door, there was a luxuriously decorated corridor outside, instead of the dilapidated ruins that would appear as a contrast in some supernatural event.

"Owner."

A petite blonde maid suddenly appeared beside Liu Bai, holding a plate and bowing to him.

"Who... dominates you?"

Liu Bai was initially startled by the other party, but then the title immediately reminded him of Domination—only Herrscher of Dominion would address him as Master in such a submissive manner.

"Yes." The blonde maid nodded.

"... So this is the Dominion Theater?"

"Small-sized," the Herrscher of Dominion corrected.

Then, the next moment, Xueyi's stern gaze fell on the Herrscher of Dominion.

"... Xueyi, is it really necessary to look at me like that?"

The Herrscher of Dominion felt somewhat guilty. Although the two had a good relationship, their views on good and evil differed greatly.

Xueyi didn't say anything; she instinctively felt that the Herrscher of Dominion was definitely going to do something bad after opening the theater.

"Ahem." The Herrscher of Dominion coughed lightly to ease the awkwardness.

The Herrscher of Dominion is actually a twisted "love-starved person", so she values her relationships with Xueyi and Liu Bai very much.

"Actually, I just wanted to create a nice atmosphere, Master. This is food we collected from Wuwang Hill. Please have a taste."

The Herrscher of Dominion opened the lid, revealing a plate of exquisitely arranged wild plums and pork chops.

"To create atmosphere?" Xueyi tilted her head, wondering what kind of atmosphere she was trying to create.

"Ah... we were just on a paranormal adventure," Bai explained.

"... You're actually interested in this kind of thing." Xueyi tilted her head. She wasn't the kind of old-fashioned person who didn't know how to use the internet, so she knew what paranormal adventures were all about.

"But then again, meat is a 'taboo' in supernatural adventures, so what kind of meat is this?" Bai inexplicably sensed the danger of being lectured, so he changed the subject.

"We've perfectly removed the stench from the wild boars nearby," the Herrscher of Dominion, her tone becoming more cheerful.

Liu Bai understood. So, this group of people modified some wild boar meat, right?

"Let's go somewhere else. I can't possibly eat Hu Tao here—can I?"

"Hmm... that little brat," the Herrscher of Dominion muttered, then bowed. "Please come with me."

The Herrscher of Dominion closed the lid again and led Liu Bai and Xueyi to another room.

After opening the door, a magnificent Grand Theater appeared before the two of them.

A throne of black and gold sits at the very top, and something is being performed below.

In the audience, a large group of Herrscher of Dominion were watching.

"Master, please take a seat."

The Herrscher of Dominion flocked over.

"And Xueyi, arrange a seat for Xueyi too."

A group of Herrscher of Dominion mobilized the power of the theater to arrange a small golden chair for Xueyi next to the throne.

"I... dislike luxury."

Xueyi was clearly somewhat helpless.

Although these people, as friends, still need moral guidance in her opinion, they are truly wonderful to her.

This kind of criticism is still quite perplexing, even for friends who are completely trustworthy.

"Then, in the theater, they were like the masters, and in one go, they replaced a chair with a silver one."

"..."

Xueyi remained silent. Oh well, it's just a chair anyway, no need to make a fuss about it.

It's Lord Liu Bai's throne...

Those are your own bodies pieced together, aren't they!

Xueyi glanced at the Herrscher of Dominion, then at the throne.

... Sitting on this thing makes me feel physically uncomfortable.

"Has the rest of the dishes not been cooked yet?"

A large Herrscher of Dominion surrounded the two as they took their seats, and then someone said something.

"Alright, alright! We need some people to carry the dishes."

The Herrscher of Dominion's brain network clearly engaged in a series of exchanges.

The Herrscher of Dominion set up a golden dining table in front of Liu Bai and Xueyi, then quickly left, leaving only a few people to serve the two.

"That chair..."

Xueyi looked at Liu Bai with some curiosity.

Although she felt somewhat physically uncomfortable sitting in the chair, she was also very curious about what it would feel like to sit in it.

Then Xueyi saw Liu Bai reach out and pat the chair.

"You guys need to keep your distance from me. I don't need a massage for my butt."

Xueyi: "..."

These guys seem even more fanatical than the Denizens of Abundance.

Looking at the armrests and chair back, several arms have already stretched out to give Liu Bai a full-body massage.

Okay, the drop in the number n is about the same as that of the Denizens of Abundance.

"Please excuse my poor attempt."

"It's alright, this subordinate... it wasn't unexpected." Although Xueyi's expression remained unchanged, her tone was clearly slightly subtle.

"Ah, speaking of which, I still don't know how you and Domination became friends? Just because you're both dolls?"

After Liu Bai asked the question, he clearly felt that the Herrscher of Dominion's massage pressure had increased slightly, and obviously, the Herrscher of Dominion was also a little embarrassed.

However, Liu Bai was genuinely curious. He had originally thought that Xueyi had a good relationship with a specific Herrscher of Dominion, but now it seemed that Xueyi had a good relationship with the Herrscher of Dominion as a whole.

"Perhaps it's because they have some things in common."

Xueyi spoke softly.

"For example, realizing one's mistake and turning back from the wrong path."

"Do you two mean the same thing: 'repenting'?"

Xueyi remained silent, for her master always managed to pinpoint certain things with his sharp insight.

"She's probably a bit more twisted," Xueyi sighed, a rare occurrence for her.

"If there's a chance, I could summon your sister, Hanya, too, right?" Bai asked casually.

After a slight pause, Xueyi nodded.

"If such an opportunity arises, Xueyi would be more than willing to accept it."

When she said this, Xueyi's tone was noticeably humble.

Her life was actually not bad. When there was something to do, she would go out to kill people with a mission. When there was nothing to do, she would lie in the coffin or use the time she gained from the mission to see her sister. She didn't have to worry about the physical damage. The Ten-Lords Commission would take care of everything. At most, it would delay her time in the resurrection.

Although I lack freedom, to be honest, it's not too tiring.

As for his younger sister, she was basically placed in a coffin and used as a human computer, enduring a massive amount of Mara-Struck information during dream interpretation. This was a job that no human could do.

Xueyi also had a habit of setting aside some of her time for returning to life for her younger sister.

The sisters, despite their crimes, were pardoned by the Ten-Lords Commission and became judges, for which they dared not utter the slightest complaint.

But if I could get here...

Xueyi thought of this, a barely perceptible smile appeared on her lips.

[Xueyi Affection Level: 33]

I think I should try harder.

Before long, the Herrscher of Dominion came over one by one carrying a large pile of plates, each one looking like a professional waiter.

Once you lift the lid, each one is a feast.

Hmm, some of the Herrscher of Dominion were chefs in their previous lives.

"Where did you get so much meat?"

"The ecology here is quite good. There are deer and wild boars, and there are fish and wild ducks in the nearby river."

The Herrscher of Dominion explained.

Liu Bai was speechless.

Well, judging from this, it shouldn't be considered indiscriminate hunting and killing.

"Xueyi... oh, you don't need to eat." Bai glanced at Xueyi, then asked the Herrscher of Dominion, "Can't Xueyi regain her human form in this situation?"

"A human body..." The Herrscher of Dominion pondered for a moment, "Should be okay? Or something similar to a human body should also work."

The Herrscher of Dominion outside the jar have been gathering intelligence.

"Otto of Schicksal has the technology to build a Soul Steel body. Although he is not a normal human, he can eat and drink without any problems. As for cloning... Xueyi probably doesn't have that opportunity."

The Herrscher of Dominion glanced at Xueyi again.

"However, with a different body, Xueyi's combat power will decrease. Although this puppet body has many flaws, its advantages are also obvious."

Xueyi's situation is more extreme than Firefly's. Firefly can still have some combat power even without her mecha, but if Xueyi's doll body is damaged, then she's really finished.

"I think the technology here is really too biased."

Xueyi complained.

Putting everything else aside, she knew of only two or three kinds of immortality methods on this planet that had no side effects.

Not to mention the demon gods who have lived for thousands of years and the so-called monsters, she didn't even count the Honkai Beasts, which are similar to the Anti-Matter Legion.

Just as the Honkai natives couldn't comprehend the advanced technology of interstellar space, Xueyi also couldn't understand the overly subtle technology of this world.
