Chapter 510

Without the slightest panic, when she completed the ceremony, Li Sushang felt her heart completely at peace.

Even at this moment, Su Shang could sense that Lin Yu's seemingly rough actions were not a one-sided venting of violence, but rather a very skillful attempt to alleviate her pain.

Only when she was by his side could Su Shang feel that this man's gentleness was reflected in the details.

At this moment, the girl, whose heart was filled with happiness, had some thoughts on her mind.

Mother, Master, can you see this...?

Su Shang has now found her own happiness.

If you two have spirits in heaven, perhaps you can rest in peace now.

Don't worry about me.

I will walk hand in hand with my Martial Uncle... no, I will walk hand in hand with him.

Epilogue 14. You won't have a chance to rest!

Compared to others, Wendy, who had also waited for three years, wasn't in such a hurry.

In her view, from the moment she was captured and taken to the World Serpent headquarters three years ago, her chances of survival were slim.

Otto tricked her into having the Desire Gem implanted in her body, causing her legs to become unable to walk again.

After that, the World Serpent, who had abducted her, continued to plot something while trying to awaken her as Herrscher when necessary.

Although Wendy tried her best to calm herself down and not completely despair, Wendy knew very well that she was just putting on a brave face.

It was precisely because of this that when she discovered in Haiyuan City that Otto Apocalypse had actually sided with the enemy, she so quickly fell into the abyss of despair and directly completed her Herrscher Transformation.

Of course, although she had completed the Herrscher Transformation, in retrospect, she felt that even if she had completed the Herrscher Transformation, she did not have the power to threaten other powerful individuals.

Feeling powerless in Haiyuan City, she fled the Haiyuan City and was then brutally beaten by her senior brother Lin Yu.

Her senior brother could have killed her, but he chose to save her using the gentlest means.

That's why, after she calmed down, she developed feelings for her senior brother, whom she had always admired.

Of course, due to the changes that occurred to her body after the experiments, Wendy sometimes becomes more sensitive.

After realizing that she could not have Lin Yu all to herself, Wendy immediately changed her strategic thinking.

Rather than the foolish ending of wanting to possess Lin Yu but failing to get him, and then hiding alone in her room crying, Wendy felt that many things didn't need to be demanding.

Lin Yu is an excellent, handsome, skilled fighter, and good-natured man.

He was surrounded by many beautiful, capable, and kind women, which Wendy considered perfectly normal.

In this situation, Wendy would have to be out of her mind to think that she, a girl with a bad figure and no familiarity with Lin Yu, could steal Lin Yu away from other girls who are more outstanding than her.

After setting her operational goals, Wendy began to prepare and work towards them.

But as it turns out, many times preparing and putting in effort is useless.

If luck isn't on your side, no matter how much preparation you make, you may still fail to achieve your strategic goals for various reasons.

After Lin Yu successfully killed Otto, the Herrscher the Honkai side could use were the most difficult to defend against, the Erosion Herrscher, and the Herrscher of Finality have to face.

If Wendy were to jump out at this critical moment and say to Lin Yu, "Senior brother, please spend your life with me," then she felt that the rest would be history.

Lin Yu was indeed very gentle to his companions most of the time, but in the end, he was a vengeful ghost trying to take revenge on the Honkai.

Just as his revenge was about to reach its climax, Wendy suddenly jumped out and thwarted his plans...

—From both a public and private perspective, this was not something she should have done at the time.

For this reason, Wendy chose to wait.

Wendy, who wanted to wait until the end of the war to confess her feelings, finally got to wait until the day the war ended.

The good news is that Honkai Energy is gradually disappearing from the Earth.

However, at the same time, she also received extremely bad news—after Lin Yu to the Imaginary Space, he engaged in a one-on-one battle with the Cocoon of Finality.

Wendy, who had been eagerly anticipating that day, now deeply regretted her procrastination.

Now, Wendy, who has regretted it for three years, finds that her senior brother has returned to Schicksal Headquarters from the moon as if nothing happened.

If she hadn't seen her senior catch up with Kiana and knew that he would look for someone else first and didn't want to bother Lin Yu, Wendy would have rushed up to Lin Yu to pour out her heart immediately.

However, now that she knows Lin Yu has other things to deal with and other people to meet, Wendy, who doesn't have a particularly good relationship with Lin Yu, can only suppress her inner desires.

After all, although they are indeed senior and junior disciples in terms of their relationship, thinking back on their past experiences...

After Lin Yu knocked her unconscious and injected her with the HSN Serum, he and Kevin exploded and disappeared on the spot.

After that, Wendy, who went to Tai Xu Mountain, met with Lin Yu a few times after Lin Yu returned.

After that, Lin Yu became the Archbishop of Schicksal. Although he wasn't exactly extremely busy, he was still very busy tracking down the Corrosion Herrscher.

After successfully killing the Corrosion Herrscher, Lin Yu announced that he had gone into seclusion to prepare for the battle against the Herrscher of Finality.

It could be said that although she was full of feelings for Lin Yu, Wendy was also very clear that these were all her one-sided thoughts.

In the past, Wendy was too worried about Lin Yu to think much about these things, but now that Lin Yu is back, she has to face something.

What should she do if Lin Yu doesn't like her?

"I'm really impressed by you."

Lin Yu, who had been lurking in Wendy's room for a minute using the Herrscher of Wind's abilities, couldn't help but reveal his body after hearing Wendy's inner thoughts using the Herrscher of Reason's powers.

"You didn't even consider the possibility of being rejected by me before this? I really don't know whether to call you confident or what."

"Senior Brother Senior..."

Completely unprepared for Lin Yu to come to her room, she turned around in a panic and looked at Lin Yu, feeling her mind go completely blank.

Looking at her beloved, Wendy felt a vague sense of unease.

At this moment, Lin Yu maintained the same cold demeanor as when he was discussing serious matters.

Lin Yu came to my room privately that night to discuss serious matters, and after hearing my inner thoughts, he made no comment...

"Alas, Puxin, you're really going too far."

After letting out a soft sigh, Lin Yu approached Wendy with a cold face and said something that made her even more worried.

"What do they all think I am—a wish-granting machine that can grant any request?"

So... things turned out this way?

It was just wishful thinking on my part; my senior brother would never have such thoughts. And it makes sense...

Before Wendy could even begin to wallow in self-pity, she suddenly noticed that Lin Yu, who had just been wearing a cold expression, now had a mischievous smile on his face.

"Okay, I'm not teasing you anymore."

"I knew you were waiting for me, so I came over after I finished some things."

"Senior brother...!"

Wendy, realizing that Lin Yu was joking with her, immediately became angry and started punching Lin Yu's chest.

"You... you almost scared me to death!"

"Hmm, how should I put it..."

Looking at Wendy, who was pounding her chest with her little fists, Lin Yu said helplessly.

"You all imagine me to be something completely different, which puts me in a difficult position."

"In the end, in terms of my personality, I'm just an ordinary person—when I see my cute junior sister waiting for me in the room, it's just something I can't help but want to tease her when we meet."

Honestly, as Wendy heard Lin Yu's tone gradually become more caring, Wendy felt that the scene before her was just too beautiful.

It was so wonderful that she even wondered if she was having some kind of strange hallucination.

In fact, Lin Yu never came to his room.

The man before her was merely a hallucination caused by Wendy's excessive longing for him...

The moment the thought crossed Wendy felt Lin Yu roughly pull her into his arms.

As their bodies pressed tightly together, Lin Yu whispered to Wendy.

"Now, do you feel like I'm a 'real person'?"

"Fool, don't overthink it. I am undoubtedly the real me."

"Besides, since I came here on my own initiative, I certainly didn't come here in the middle of the night specifically to reject you, so put your mind at ease a little."

"After all, I am very greedy, greedy to have everything I want in my hands."

"So..."

Feeling the warmth emanating from Lin Yu's body, Wendy whispered to Lin Yu.

"Does what my senior brother wants include me?"

"Yes, of course, it's too late to say 'I want to quit' at this point."

"I won't let you get away, Wendy."

"Actually..."

At that moment, Wendy suddenly said something she shouldn't have said at that time.

"Senior brother has so many excellent partners around him. Is me, a junior sister he doesn't know very well, really what you want?"

"Senior brother, you are too gentle. So gentle that even someone like me, you want to respond with gentle actions."

"If I respond to my senior brother like this, he will gently accept me, but..."

"—What are your own thoughts, Senior Brother?"

"... I knew things would turn out this way."

Looking at Wendy, who still seemed a little worried, Lin Yu gazed intently at the girl who had grown a lot in every way, but whose worries had also increased.

"One or two of them feel they are not attractive enough to be by my side—I was just joking when I said you were an ordinary woman before, but at times like this I hope you can have a little more confidence."

"You are a lovely young lady, while I, Lin Yu, am a lecherous fiend—under these circumstances, for you to still treat me like a saint is somewhat disrespectful."

"Come on, you call yourself a lustful glutton?"

Looking at the man who was clearly talking nonsense, Wendy said irritably.

"With your power, status, strength, and achievements, Senior Brother, you could easily hold large-scale developer conferences at the Schicksal Headquarters every day with just a snap of your fingers."

"But not only did you not do such a thing, you also respected almost every fellow Schicksal member equally—if a lustful glutton like that eats so well, what kind of lustful glutton is he?"

... Wait, why are these people not only not jealous, but they're also making excuses for me?

I'm such a jerk! You guys aren't even angry, which makes me lose face!

"Moreover, what everyone cares about in the end is not 'who is by Lin Yu's side,' but 'whether we can be by Lin Yu's side.'"

At this moment, Wendy looked up and gazed into Lin Yu's eyes, responding to him with utmost seriousness.

"As long as I can be by my senior brother's side, I... am already satisfied enough."

"... Ha, really, I'm not as good as you think."

Faced with Wendy's almost direct confession, Lin Yu suddenly brought up something that the two of them had tacitly avoided talking about before.

"For the greater good, I am willing to sacrifice the personal interests of some others."

"The Gray Serpent and the Jackal really gave you a hard time back then. Logically speaking, as my junior sister and the Valkyrie of Schicksal, I, as your senior brother and the Bishop of Schicksal, should have helped you get revenge."

"But since World Serpent later took the initiative to join forces with us, I haven't brought this up again."

"You have every right to be angry, Wendy."

"Ah, about that..."

Hearing Lin Yu's apologetic words, Wendy suddenly said with a grin.

"Senior brother is right. For some time now, I have been very dissatisfied with those two executives of World Serpent."

"But what you don't know is that after you went to the Imaginary Space, Senior Kevin took the initiative to find me and apologized to me on behalf of his subordinates."
