Kevin: If I Trust You Again, I'll Be an Ice Pig! (Continued)
This action of his also effectively severed all means of returning to the Prime World through any means other than Bai Ge.
"We will do it, no, I should say a fool will do it, anyway, thank you."
"...Um?!"
Kevin was taken aback for a moment before realizing that things weren't so simple.
Bai Ge opened a portal, placed the beacon into the portion of the Imaginary Space under his control, and immediately used his quantumization ability to transform himself into a state that Kevin could not touch.
It was as if they were afraid he would change his mind and try to take back the beacon.
"You've tricked me again?"
Kevin's eye twitched and his face darkened.
"It's not entirely accurate to say it is; it's more like half and half."
Bai Ge scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed.
"Is the Herrscher of Binding unscathed a lie?"
"No, Kevin Kaslana, I'm not lying, it's just... we have a troublesome adversary on our side. If he wants this beacon, he's capable of doing something as ruthless as opening the Sea of Quantum to send you back to your Prime World. I have to eliminate that possibility first."
Bai Ge raised his hand and made a gun gesture, then pretended to fire a shot at Kevin, saying, "How could such a philanthropist like him lie?"
It's just that it wasn't fully explained. (See picture)
Kevin's lips twitched violently; he felt he hadn't felt so aggrieved in thousands of years.
Wait, no, the last time I felt this frustrated was when I was looking forward to eating noodles, only to find out there was no seasoning packet.
Damn it! This isn't all because of this kid!
Are all young people in Current Civilization so deceitful and treacherous? I treated you with sincerity, and you ended up setting traps for me.
Bai Ge, you just wait! If I, Kevin, ever believe your nonsense again, I'll be a (ice) pig!
"Alright, goal achieved~ I should probably head home now. Today was truly a meaningful and rewarding day. See you next time, my friends~"
"Bai Ge, get out of here."
Haha~ Bye-bye.
As Bai Ge laughed, his figure gradually disappeared.
He is returning to the Prime World by fully quantizing himself, without opening any channels.
However, he could not have imagined that the next time the two met would be 50,000 years ago.
The Prime World. On the deck of a warship in the Anti-Entropy.
Mei has been standing here ever since Bai Ge left, gazing at the spot where the boy left, waiting for the moment he returns. It can only be said that at such a young age, she has already become a qualified "waiting-for-husband stone".
She tightly gripped Bai Ge's two cores in her hands.
Anyone who gets within a 50-meter radius of her will be treated with the utmost vigilance by Mei as a potential enemy... This is true even for her own father, Raiden Ryoma.
"Ahem, Mei, it's been a long time since we've seen each other, father and daughter. How about we go out for a meal and have a good chat?"
"No, Dad, I'm waiting for Bai Ge to come back."
"Yes, really... Damn it, how much of that bewitching potion did that kid give my daughter?!" (The last part is said in a very low voice)
It was supposed to be a reunion after a long separation, but she discovered that her daughter had found a boyfriend and no longer wanted her.
Ryoma was filled with hatred.
But what's even more infuriating is that this bastard son-in-law is too powerful and defies the heavens; he can even incinerate Judgment-Class Honkai Beast with a single strike.
Even if I wanted to take him down with me, I couldn't bring myself to do it.
Raiden Ryoma: "I can't find anything!"
Seeing Mei staring at him warily, as if afraid he would snatch the core from her hands, the old father felt like crying, thinking to himself, "Is this what they mean by 'a daughter grows up and leaves home'?"
At the same time, Ryoma also felt something was off. Looking at the two Mei in front of him who looked exactly alike, even though he knew that one of them was Herrscher Persona, he still felt something was strange.
"What are you looking at?"
"Uh, it's nothing, it's nothing..."
Raiden Ryoma's feelings were incredibly complicated. Despite having the same face as his daughter, Raiden Ryoma looked at him as if he were an insect.
"Ahem, um, Old Ma, could you please ask your daughter how my Kiana is doing lately?"
"Siegfried, what are you doing coming over here?"
"Can't I care about my daughter too?"
"Then ask him yourself."
"I wouldn't dare. Mei's aura is too strong. I always feel like if I get close, she'll cut me in two."
Siegfried honestly admitted that he chickened out; he had a real psychological trauma regarding the existence of Herrscher.
The first time was when she was beaten up by Bai Ge, the second time was when the young Herrscher of Reason Kiana cut off her arm, and right now Mei is acting like "Don't come near me, or I'll wall you up in the deck."
"That's right, don't you even know whose daughter she is?"
"You're being so proud of yourself in a strange way, even though you can't get within ten meters of her. Ha~ I think only Bai Ge can get into your daughter's body right now."
"Siegfried, if you can't speak, then shut up."
"I wish you become a grandfather soon."
"You son of a bitch—!"
Ryoma's face immediately darkened; he didn't want to see his grandson's or granddaughter's face so soon!
(Damn Cocolia, if you hadn't sent me to prison, things wouldn't have turned out this way!)
On the other side, after hearing Siegfried's blessing, both Mei blushed at the same time. The Queen and the girl fell into a reverie, and then both showed a silly smile of longing.
Siegfried was also quick-witted.
Taking advantage of the two girls' good mood, he quickly inquired about the Kiana.
After all, although he had been secretly following and protecting the Kiana all the way to Changkong City, St. Freya Academy was a place that even he, a former S-class Schicksal Knight, would find difficult to infiltrate.
Besides, Theresa is there.
Siegfried was not worried about the safety of the Kiana.
But as a father, I still want to know how that girl is doing lately, whether she's eating well, how her exam results are, and whether she's made any new friends.
Perhaps these are just trivial matters, but it is precisely because of these small things that we are called parents.
However, Herrscher of Thunder Mei's next words.
They fried Siegfried to a crisp on the outside and tender on the inside.
"Kiana? Oh, you mean my Bai Ge's pet? She's doing fine, don't worry about her."
"As long as you're doing well, wait... pets? What do you mean by pets? Explain yourself!"
"Huh? Why are you suddenly so anxious? I meant exactly what I said, human. Do you think I'm lying?"
Herrscher of Thunder Mei showed displeasure.
She took out her phone, opened her photo album, found a few photos, and placed them in front of Siegfried —these were photos taken yesterday when Bai Ge was petting Kiana Cat.
In the photo, Kiana, with cat ears and a cat tail, lies obediently on Bai's lap, enjoying a blissful expression as he pets her with his superb cat-petting skills.
Raiden Ryoma: "Ooh-hoo~"
Siegfried: "Holy shit!!!"
This scene must have been incredibly hurtful to an elderly father.
Siegfried almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
He was just mocking Raiden Ryoma for having his daughter kidnapped, but now he finds his situation is even worse.
Mei at least has the status of a girlfriend, while my Kiana can only manage to be a pet girl.
Raiden Ryoma: "For some reason, I suddenly feel a bit better. Siegfried, you're in a worse situation. Speaking of which, I knew that brat was no good! Uh, no, all men are no good. My dear daughter, hurry up and break up with him."
Raiden Mei: "Dad, I will never break up with Bai Ge! I... I'm already his."
Raiden Ryoma: "Pfft—!"
Okay, now no one should laugh at anyone else.
Siegfried and Raiden Ryoma exchanged a glance.
Only now did the two realize that they were teammates on the same side, and that what they should do was join forces to deal with Bai Ge, who had taken their daughter away, instead of mocking each other and comparing their misfortunes.
Little did they know that they had been disarmed by Bai without their knowledge.
The former's Heavenly Fire Holy Judgment is gone.
The latter, plasma-based movie theater, is gone.
(Bai Ge: "This father-in-law is really easy to deal with.")
Meanwhile, on the sea not far away.
