Chapter 132

Does intelligence re-emerge when the temperature drops?

"Why do boys care so much about their weight? But you're right, Mei would be so happy if she knew she'd fattened you up. She spoils you so much... But she's destined to be disappointed. You're even lighter Bronya, you'd be blown away with a single breath."

Kiana muttered to herself. How could she not know about Shen Gonglin's weight fluctuations? Kiana often carried Shen Gonglin, so she knew his weight changes like the back of her Shen Gonglin. What she said earlier about him getting tired because he was heavier was complete nonsense. She was just trying to get Shen Gonglin to get down and move around a bit. If she didn't say that, he definitely wouldn't listen to her. Kiana had learned some tricks for dealing with Shen Gonglin.

"Oh... Kiana, have you ever seen so much snow before? This is the first time I've ever seen it. It feels so cold."

Tightening the buttons of her pajamas, Shen Gonglin's current wish was for a military overcoat to fall from the sky. Dressed like this in such freezing weather was practically handing it over, but Kiana was already exhausted and couldn't be allowed to carry her. So Shen Gonglin could only try to distract herself from the cold by making conversation. She had felt this way before; Kiana seemed completely at ease in the snow. Walking on the snow, she could tell at a glance which patches were solid and which were filled with snow, unlike herself, who always made a snowdrift with every step.

"Well, because I grew up in a village that was covered in snow every winter with my stinky old man... Idiot, follow me wherever I go, or you'll freeze to death."

With a look of reminiscence in her eyes, Kiana softly recounted things from the past. Just then, Shen Gonglin stepped into a snowdrift again. Kiana helplessly grabbed Shen Gonglin and lifted him up. The girl took off Shen Gonglin's slippers, shook off the snow, patted his feet, and then put him back on the ground. Although she was complaining, Kiana felt incredibly satisfied. It felt so good to be able to call someone an idiot with a clear conscience.

And Shen Gonglin's feet are so beautiful, so white and clean, you can almost see the blue veins on them. Kiana feels like she could play with those feet for more than a year, so she has to take good care of them. She put the same style of HOMU slippers on Shen Gonglin and quickly thought of a solution. Shen Gonglin's feet are freezing cold. This girl doesn't even look where she's going when she walks. She's practically walking into a snow pit with her eyes open.

Suddenly Kiana understood Mei's feelings. It was like a kindergarten teacher taking care of naughty kids. Shen Gonglin was undoubtedly the naughtiest kid. Wearing her clean clothes, she rolled around in the mud. This description seemed quite apt.

No wonder Mei enjoys taking care of people so much. It does feel quite nice. Mei is usually the one taking care of them, and this time, it's finally Kiana's turn to take care of someone else. Of course, Kiana feels that it depends on the person. For example, she feels quite happy taking care of Shen Gonglin, but if it were someone else... well, forget it.

Kiana only wants to take care of him, unlike Mei who treats everyone equally. She just can't do that.

Chapter Two: You Can Call Me Dad

"Oh, then I'll follow you. Kiana, did you live with your father before? I've heard you mention it before, and Theresa also mentioned that your father's name is Siegfried Kaslana, right?"

Ignoring the snow puddle, Shen Gonglin followed Kiana's footsteps steadily this time, showing some interest in Kiana's affairs. Kiana seemed to have a hint of pride when talking about her father. Rin heard that Kiana came to the St. Freya Academy because she had been searching for her father, and now that she had nothing else to do, Shen Gonglin was quite interested in learning about Kiana's past.

"Yes, I lived with him when I was a child. We were in similar conditions back then. I haven't seen so much snow in a long time. I used to have snowball fights with my dad every time it happened. Once, he threw a snowball with all his might and it even broke a two-meter-high rock."

Kiana excitedly recounted her past to Shen Gonglin, while Shen Gonglin listened with a cold sweat pouring down her face. The snowball she threw shattered a two-meter-high boulder... Could Kiana be from a warrior race? This snowball fight seems quite different from what Shen Gonglin knew. This kind of snowball fight must easily lead to death. No wonder Kiana's physical fitness and coordination are so good; she must have trained them since childhood. Impressive, impressive. It's truly remarkable that she's still alive.

"Kiana, it's really not easy for you to live this long. Promise me that if we ever have a snowball fight, you will never throw those snowballs at me, okay?"

Swallowing hard, Shen Gonglin felt she needed to give Kiana a heads-up. He knew he'd definitely be playing snowball fights with Kiana and the others someday, and the thought of him possibly throwing snowballs at her made her a little scared. The Shen Gonglin fights she'd experienced were quite different from what she understood. No wonder he was Kiana's dad; this didn't sound very reliable.

"Huh? Why... wait a minute, it even smashed a two-meter-tall boulder. If I hadn't dodged it... you really are a stupid dad."

Kiana then realized that if she hadn't dodged that snowball, she would have died on the spot. Now that she thought about it, she realized how absurd the situation was. Kiana's lips twitched. Having such an eccentric father was really dangerous. Shen Gonglin was right. It hadn't been easy for her to live this long.

Goodness, this reaction time is probably several years old. Are all the Kaslana family idiots? This is so different from my own Shingu family. As everyone knows, the Shingu family are all brilliant geniuses. Just look at Shen Gonglin. He feels that he is very smart, the kind with the highest IQ. Of course, we don't need to consider his emotional intelligence. If this guy's emotional intelligence were sufficient, Kiana, Mei, or even Himeko might be in confinement right now.

"Then one day four years ago, my stupid dad suddenly disappeared. I waited for him in the village for several days but he didn't show up. So I went to Asia to look for him, but I still didn't find a single clue. Sigh... Dad, what stupid thing are you doing now? Honestly, I'm starting to miss him a little bit."

Kiana's voice shifted from light to deep as she sighed softly. Thinking about the past inevitably affected her mood. Heaven knows what her stinky old man is like now. Theresa seems to know some clues, but she said she would only tell her after Kiana became a fully-fledged A-rank Valkyrie. But when will that be? Kiana had only recently escaped her Valkyrie status. When will she finally find that idiot father?

Kiana has moments like this too. She's usually cheerful and optimistic, but she has things on her mind. Some things are better said, but others can only be kept inside. I've never heard Kiana talk about this before. Looking at Kiana, who seems a little down, Shen Gonglin is also touched. Four years ago... Kiana was probably very young then. To travel all the way from Europe to Asia at that age, she must have suffered a lot.

"It's okay, you'll definitely find your dad. I'll help you. Me, Mei, Bronya, and the Class President will all be with you... If you really miss your dad, you can call me Dad. It's okay, I don't mind."

Standing on tiptoe, Shen Gonglin gently patted Kiana's head, softly comforting the girl before her. She couldn't keep bullying Kiana just because she was a bit slow. When Kiana was in a bad mood, Shen Gonglin was always willing to coax her. In battle, she was an ever-active Valkyrie, but in private, she was also an ordinary girl who would miss her family alone at night. These Valkyrie were all very cute girls, Shen Gonglin felt that she had to comfort Kiana properly at times like this.

"What I said after that was unnecessary! Shen Gonglin, can't you let me be moved for more than three seconds? You finally managed to speak like a human being, can't you last a little longer? I was almost moved to tears just now, and now I'm so angry I want to punch you. Can't you just be a normal person? When will your brain ever get better? Why do I have to call you Dad?!"

Kiana almost laughed out of exasperation. She reached out and vigorously rubbed Shen Gonglin's cheek. Did this guy even know how to talk? If it weren't for the fact that he genuinely wanted to comfort her, Kiana would have definitely unleashed her Gun Fu on him. Shen Gonglin was indeed Shen Gonglin; he was still the same idiot she knew. He didn't even know how to comfort people. What did he mean by not minding? She herself was the one who minded.

I treated you like a boyfriend... a friend, but you actually want to be my dad? Kiana simply doesn't know how to reason with this. Why is Shen Gonglin an idiot? If he didn't have a problem with his brain, he probably would have... never mind, if he were mentally sound, he wouldn't be Shen Gonglin. Just thinking about Shen Gonglin makes Kiana feel uncomfortable. He's better the way he is now. Kiana likes him like this.

"Stop rubbing, or I'll have to pay you... What do you mean? You're not going to call me dad, but you expect me to call you dad? Kiana, you've really gone down the wrong path. It's time to show you who's the real boss of St. Freya. Lie down and show me your belly like the Class President, or I'll fuck you!"

"Who would believe that? How could the Class President do such a thing? Shen Gonglin, don't think I'm stupid. I'm very smart. And you said you stabbed me..."

"It's slang. It means 'I'll kill you.' Otherwise, what do you think it means?"

"... No, I didn't think it meant anything."

Chapter Three: You Don't Pamper Me at All

"Kiana, I'm so tired... Are you feeling better? Can you carry me on your back? I feel like you're just acting. If you really couldn't carry me, how could you run so fast... Why don't you go ahead first, and I'll rest here for a bit and catch up with you right away?"

On the snowy plain, Shen Gonglin dragged his heavy steps behind Kiana. The snow was not like flat ground, and although following Kiana's pace was the least strenuous route, it was still too tiring for Shen Gonglin, who was physically weak. He looked at Kiana ahead with envy in his eyes. He really envied Kiana's stamina. Not to mention climbing five floors in one go without any effort, this girl was practically a perpetual motion machine. Could she really not carry him? That was obviously impossible. Shen Gonglin felt that she was still at full strength.

"Don't even think about it. I'm not stupid. If I leave you here alone, you'll definitely get lost. So hurry up and keep up with me. You still want to hear me talk about the past, right? Then keep talking to me and keep up."

Kiana, hands on her hips, turned back to look at Shen Gonglin with a helpless expression. Although carrying him would be faster, Kiana Shen Gonglin that Shen Gonglin walk on his own. Hadn't she seen that walking for a while had already had an effect? Shen Gonglin's pale face had finally regained some color. While carrying him would save her energy, in this environment, it was better for him to move around to increase blood flow and warm up. Kiana reached out and took Shen Gonglin's hand, their fingers intertwined as they pulled him forward. It was fortunate that Shen Gonglin was by her side; otherwise, she would have felt extremely lonely in this environment.

Ugh, it's strange that I think being alone would be lonely. I thought I was used to being alone after that stinky old man disappeared for so long, but now I get scared just thinking about it. Kiana 'm not used to it at all. Kiana doesn't like being alone at all.

"Kiana, you don't spoil me at all. If it were the Class President, she would definitely carry me or hug me. She would never let me walk for so long. Kiana, you're so mean... Why isn't the Class President here with me? I miss the Class President so much. If it were her, she wouldn't treat me like this."

Shen Gonglin muttered to herself, while Kiana's brows twitched. What was wrong? Was she, Kiana, the young lady, the one accompanying him instead of the Class President, and she was feeling aggrieved? She really felt bad for not spoiling him like the Class President did. But to be honest, if it were the Class President, she probably wouldn't have wanted him to be so tired. Although the class Class President was old-fashioned and serious, that trait was completely useless when it came to Shen Gonglin. The Class President did indeed spoil Shen Gonglin, and that was almost universally acknowledged.

"The Class President has really spoiled you. This can't go on. We still need to get custody back... Do you think you're the only one who misses the Class President? I miss Mei too. Right now, all I can think about is the food Mei made, and the games Bronya played with me. I even miss that hellish training during my period. That was more fun than this. And the scene of Himeko lying naked on my bed after drinking too much... Sigh, I can't do all those fun things now. I only have a useless little brat by my side who just whines and moans. I'm so pathetic."

Not to be outdone, Kiana thought that since Shen Gonglin had complained about not having the Class President by his side but herself, she was going to get revenge. She thought he was the only one who complained, and that she complained about him too. But the stubborn Kiana knew in her heart that if she really had to choose, she would definitely choose to have Shen Gonglin Mei by her side. She felt a little sorry for Mei though... But if it were her, she would probably make the same choice. So it's okay, everyone is the same.

"Could you tell me in detail about the time when Himeko would strip naked and lie on your bed after drinking too much? We're bored right now, so let's just kill some time. Tell me in detail what exactly happened."

Ignoring Kiana's other words, Shen Gonglin keenly grasped what interested her in her words. So Himeko would do such things when she was drunk? Just imagining such a scene made Shen Gonglin feel excited. She loved the red-haired older sister who was drunk and acting crazy. Should she find an opportunity to get Himeko drunk too? It seemed like a feasible idea.

While pondering such a thing, Shen Gonglin didn't consider her low alcohol tolerance. If that day ever came, Shen Gonglin would definitely be offering herself up, and Himeko would be flattered and accept it without hesitation. It's practically delivered to her doorstep; only a fool wouldn't take it.

"I knew you'd be interested in that. I'm not telling you. If you want to know, go back and ask Himeko yourself. Seriously, stop talking nonsense. Now, just follow me and keep moving forward. Quickly figure out what's going on here and then find a way back."

Kiana raised an eyebrow, her tone immediately turning displeased. How could she have brought this up? And why was Shen Gonglin so interested in it? This kid had said before that he was interested in tall, long-legged, slim-waisted, and busty women like Himeko. Although he seemed quite interested in flat-chested lolis like Bronya now, his reaction at this moment proved that Shen Gonglin was a seasoned Onee-san complex. Honestly, he was with her right now; his eyes should be completely on her. That idiot Shen Gonglin, he was probably thinking about Himeko right now. How annoying!

"Didn't you ask me to keep talking to you... Kiana, don't walk so fast, tell me what happened back then, I'm really interested."

Kiana held Jingu Rin's hand tightly. Even in her current slightly angry state, Kiana didn't let go of Shen Gonglin's hand. Angry as she was, she still had to hold hands. What was there to be proud of? She wasn't going to stay young forever. When she reached Himeko's age, she would definitely be stronger than Himeko. She would make Shen Gonglin drool with envy. Look at how anxious this kid is now. Is he really that interested in that matter? Idiot!

"I don't remember. You can ask Himeko yourself when you get back... But absolutely do not go alone. I'll go with you. I feel like it might be dangerous for you to go alone... Wait a minute, this communicator seems to have a signal?"

While dealing with Shen Gonglin in a rather irritable manner, Kiana's communicator suddenly lit up. The girl quickly took it out; there had been no signal until now, and she could finally figure out what was going on.

Chapter Four First Aid

Kiana quickly took out her communicator, and a familiar voice rang out. However, it was clearly not a message sent to Kiana; it was as if a message sent on a public frequency had been received by Kiana's communicator. When the voice rang out, Kiana and Shen Gonglin's eyes lit up. It was Theresa's voice.

[The objective has failed to be stopped. I was wounded during the battle and am temporarily incapacitated. After the battle, the target has advanced towards the Babylon Laboratory. The remaining Valkyrie units are requested to proceed to the target location.]

The communication was brief, ending in silence after just that one sentence. However, the location of the communication source was clearly visible, and it seemed to be not far from where Shen Gonglin and the others were currently. Was Theresa in that location right now?

"The source of the communication is nearby, Shen Gonglin. We should head there; we have to get there and check it out."

Kiana made this decision immediately, and given the current situation, it was an understandable choice. She grabbed Shen Gonglin and carried him on her back, and the girl, full of energy, ran towards the source of the signal. After walking for so long, she finally found someone she knew. Once she found her aunt, she could figure out the current situation. Let's go!

"Kiana, I knew you were plotting against me, you bastard! Now you're telling me you can't carry me? You really don't love me anymore. If it were the Class President, he would never treat me like this. Do you know how tired I was from walking that far alone just now... Kiana! Are you even listening to me? Give me some feedback! Don't treat me like this again, you hear me?"

The surrounding scenery rushed past. Shen Gonglin wrapped his arms tightly around Kiana's neck to steady himself. He knew Kiana was talking nonsense. She just didn't want to carry him. The Class President wouldn't treat him like that. Sure enough, the Class President was the one who loved him the most in the world. Shen Gonglin missed Fu Hua so much.

"I understand, I understand. Who said I don't love you anymore? I love you, I love you the most. So don't say anything now, I'm going to speed things up."

What nonsense is this guy spouting? What love or not love... But since he's talking nonsense like this, I might as well spout some nonsense in return to go along with it. The wind from running couldn't cool down the heat on Kiana's face. Luckily, Shen Gonglin couldn't see her expression right now, otherwise Kiana would definitely be embarrassed. Her tone was cool, but the girl's face wasn't cool at all. It's all this guy's fault. What nonsense is he spouting? When did I ever say I loved him?

What I just said doesn't count!

"The signal source should be just ahead... Ah, there it is! Theresa, what's wrong!"

With Kiana Shen Gonglin, their speed was extraordinary, much faster than Shen Gonglin walking on her own two legs. In less than ten minutes, Kiana led Shen Gonglin to the location where the signal had been sent. Before they even got close, they saw a small figure lying prone in the snow. A thin layer of snow covered the figure, and the black nun's habit was faintly visible. Who else could it be but Theresa, the headmistress of St. Freya? Kiana quickly ran over and helped the unconscious Theresa up. What happened to her? How did she get injured?

"Kiana, your period is bleeding heavily right now. Look at this injury... Hey, where did her Power of Kings go? Such a serious injury, let me take a good look at it."

Squatting beside Theresa, Shen Gonglin frowned at the conspicuous red bloodstains on the snow. How could Theresa be injured? After turning her over, Shen Gonglin discovered that Theresa's left hand was completely missing. Such a serious injury made Shen Gonglin take it seriously. Such a severed limb injury could only be treated with hand sanitizer, but where was she going to find hand sanitizer in this environment? The only thing to do now was to wake Theresa up. How did she get into this state?

"Shen Gonglin, what kind of time is this to talk nonsense? What do you mean by 'massive bleeding'... Do you have a way to save Theresa?"

Auntie, the bleeding is huge... Shen Gonglin is definitely joking about herself, but Kiana doesn't have time to care about Shen Gonglin right now. This guy has been acting unserious for a long time. Theresa's current situation is really not to be taken lightly. The only one she can rely on is Shen Gonglin. This guy is quite skilled in medicine. He can definitely save Theresa.

"Of course, I don't care who I am. First, lay her flat and I'll give her a CPR."

Shen Gonglin flexed her wrist, and Kiana, though sensing something was amiss, could only rely on Shen Gonglin to place Theresa on the snow. Kiana looked at the unconscious Theresa with great concern. Although Shen Gonglin seemed to be taking advantage of her, she couldn't do anything about it. Besides, Shen Gonglin didn't seem to be wrong.

This looks about the same size as Bronya, or maybe Bronya is a little bigger? Even the Class President seems... well, I can't quite tell, I need to compare them more closely. Poor Headmistress, that curve... tsk tsk tsk, so embarrassing.

With his hand on Theresa's chest, Shen Gonglin performed CPR while silently complaining to himself. That's just his personality; it's practically impossible to get him to be serious. And now that there's a chance to take advantage of her so openly, how could he let it go? Especially with Kiana, his niece, right beside her, and Shen Gonglin doing this to her aunt, Shen Gonglin suddenly felt a strange, indescribable feeling. This was... kind of exciting.

Enough said, saving lives is the priority. CPR doesn't seem to be working very well. There's no other way but to try another method. How could a storyline about saving lives be complete without this?

"Kiana, quick, CPR, get her up there, it's all up to you."

It wasn't that it was ineffective; it was more like utterly useless. Shen Gonglin had been busy for ages but couldn't wake Theresa. So, Shen Gonglin had to resort to another tactic. She released her hands from the chest compressions and pointed at Theresa's cherry-red lips, saying to Kiana, "I can do chest compressions myself, but Shen Gonglin respiration is something I don't want to do. If Theresa were a busty mature woman, Shen Gonglin would be more than willing, but with a loli like her, well, forget it."

Chapter Five: I'll Show You How

As everyone knows, Shen Gonglin is a man of principle, and he would never take advantage of someone in distress. The CPR he just performed was already Shen Gonglin's limit. As for artificial respiration, he should leave it to Kiana. If he were to do it himself, he would have no way to explain it when Kiana woke up. So, he should let his niece Kiana do it herself.

"Hey, why am I doing this? CPR and all that... I, I don't know how."

Kiana quickly shook her head in refusal. How could she do something like this so casually? Although battlefield first aid was part of the Valkyrie exam, they used training dummies back then. Kiana had never tried it before. Just now, Kiana was worried that Shen Gonglin would personally go, but why did he want to switch places with her without hesitation? Why did he want her to go?

"What's so hard about that? Come on, let me show you. This is your period, you know. If you don't save her, who will? Like this, first take a deep breath, then pinch her mouth open and lift her chin, then blow it in like this... Whew, repeat the action again. Kiana, did you learn it now?"

Shen Gonglin knows far too much about first aid. Just by looking at Kiana's academically challenged state, Shen Gonglin knows she didn't study properly in class. But no problem, Little Sunflower Shen Gonglin Class is in session. Artificial respiration is not difficult at all. She can teach Kiana by demonstrating it herself. With her teaching step by step... wait a minute, teaching step by step?

Kiana remained silent, and Shen Gonglin also fell silent. He looked at Theresa lying on the ground and touched his own lips. The soft and delicate feeling seemed to still linger on his lips. Was he an idiot? How could he have actually given Kiana a personal demonstration? His first kiss of the day was gone again!

Shen Gonglin knelt on the ground, sinking into deep despair. For the first time, he felt like there might be something wrong with his brain. How could he have just kissed her like that? He was supposed to demonstrate for Kiana, but instead, he ended up kissing a little girl, and a comatose one at that Shen Gonglin suddenly felt like he had no reason to live anymore. What if people suspected him of being a lolicon? That would be a huge slander against Shen Gonglin. No way, would anyone think he was a lolicon from now on?

Shen Gonglin looked up cautiously, her eyes gleaming with hope as she looked at Kiana. She had witnessed the whole story, and she was the only one who knew about it, so... so, it's alright, there's still hope!

"Kiana, you saw what happened just now, right? I was just demonstrating for you, I didn't mean anything by it, you understand, right? You must understand what I mean, right?"

He crawled to Kiana's side on Shen Gonglin fours, then hugged one of Kiana's long legs and blinked pitifully at her. As long as Kiana didn't tell anyone, he was still the idol of the girls, Shen Gonglin. He definitely didn't do that stupid thing just now. He, Shen Gonglin, was still innocent.

Damn it, where's the shower? Shen Gonglin wanted to mutter to herself that she was already dirty while showering.

This guy... was he always this stupid, or did he suddenly become this stupid? Is it because the weather is too cold and his brain has frozen? What he just did is something no one with a brain could do. Looking at Shen Gonglin's pitiful appearance, Kiana's lips twitched, and even the anger that had been building up in her chest just now unconsciously dissipated. Oh well, after all, he's Shen Gonglin, she has to be more tolerant. Besides, he was trying to save someone. Miss Kiana is not some unreasonable idiot.

"Alright, alright, I won't tell anyone else, okay? Since you've already started, hurry up and continue. Whatever it may be, get Theresa awake first. Hurry up and stop talking nonsense."

She grabbed Shen Gonglin by the collar and dragged him to Theresa's side. Shen Gonglin looked back at Kiana pitifully, wondering why she was being made to do this again. She had already made a mistake, so why was she being forced to go down this dark path?

"Kiana... I've already demonstrated for you. Why don't you do it yourself? If I do it again, I'm afraid Theresa will beat me up when she wakes up."

This person can't keep making mistakes. Shen Gonglin didn't want to make the same mistake again. What happened just now could be called an accident, but if it happened again, it would be knowingly making a mistake. Shen Gonglin really had no interest in lolis. Even artificial respiration wouldn't work. If she were alone, she definitely wouldn't be able to do it, but now she had Kiana by her side. Kiana could step in.

"I don't want to. You've already done it, so just keep going. It would feel weird if I did it now... Hurry up, can't you see Theresa is almost not breathing? Hurry up."

Kiana still refused to come. How could she kiss someone in front of Shen Gonglin? Even if they were both women, it wouldn't be okay, and it couldn't be done in front of Shen Gonglin... Of course, it might be okay if it were Mei. In short, since Shen Gonglin had already demonstrated it himself, let him continue. This was to save someone, and she wouldn't look down on him. What was he pretending for? Did he think she didn't know about his past? Shen Gonglin had already kissed several girls!

"I actually think her breathing is quite strong... Kiana, I always feel like you're disgusted by Theresa, as if she's something dirty. Actually, she's quite cute and clean. Don't feel pressured. Let me explain slowly. This is all for saving lives..."

Shen Gonglin was still rambling on, but Kiana didn't want to listen anymore. Honestly, why was this guy so slow? Did he think he was happy doing this? If it weren't for saving someone, Kiana wouldn't have let Shen Gonglin do this. She was already unhappy, and this idiot Shen Gonglin didn't understand her feelings at all, which made Kiana even more upset. Everyone knows it's to save someone. If it weren't for saving someone, do you think she would have let him do this?

What an idiot.

Kiana grabbed Shen Gonglin's neck and, annoyed by what she was hearing, simply pushed Shen Gonglin down. Ah, this feeling was like personally handing over her own wife... Tsk, whatever, it's Theresa anyway, she's family. This guy, he got the benefit and is still acting innocent. Kiana is so angry!

Chapter Six: Let's Fight Him Together

Hmm... What is this feeling? Is it snow? I remember I was defeated in the battle against the Second Herrscher and fled here. Seriously, how did I accidentally pass out? What is this feeling on my lips?

It felt like a cool autumn rain hitting her face. In her unconscious state, Theresa felt a gentle touch spreading across her face. As her consciousness slowly returned, Theresa heard voices around her. Had she been rescued? But there shouldn't be any Valkyrie troops here. So what was this feeling on her face?

"Well, you dared to kiss Theresa's face under the guise of CPR! I'll beat you to death, you lecher! I knew I could never trust you!"

"Idiot, how can this be my fault? You were the one who pressed my neck down and shoved me down. It's all your fault. Stay away from me, you idiot, it's contagious. Don't interfere with my work. Get off me, get off me."

Hearing such a sound, Theresa, who was slowly waking up, felt a sudden panic. Although she did not yet understand what had happened, Theresa caught the words in the voice that she could not help but pay attention to: artificial respiration.

What the hell is this?!

Theresa quickly opened her eyes, but what she saw was a snow-white face, and at the same time, an unfamiliar touch on her lips. Theresa was stunned. Her azure eyes stared unblinkingly at the deep purple pupils in front of her. Why did she encounter such a thing when she woke up from her coma? Who was this guy?

"Cough cough... Who are you? Stay away from me!"

The small body unleashed a tremendous force that Shen Gonglin could not withstand. Theresa pushed Shen Gonglin so hard that she sat up abruptly. Her left hand had not yet recovered, so Theresa could only use her right hand to protect her chest. The little girl looked at the two people in front of her with a wary expression. This place had been designated as a combat zone, and ordinary people would never appear here. So what was going on with these two people?

"Hey, did Theresa hit her head? She doesn't even recognize us. Or was what happened just too much for her? After all, she's just a little girl. Maybe this kind of adult stuff is too early for her... But that doesn't make sense. Theresa is over fifty years old. She can't be so easily shy, can she?"

Under Theresa's wary gaze, the pretty girl in pajamas and slippers... no, it should be a boy, the same boy who had just made advances at her, was saying incredibly inappropriate things to the white-haired girl next to her. What did he mean by "an old man in his fifties"? Theresa's forehead began to crease with anger. Didn't this guy know that a woman's age is not something to be discussed? And who the hell is in his fifties?!

I'm a beautiful young woman in my early twenties, not even thirty yet!

"Wow, Shen Gonglin, you'll get beaten up for saying that. But something's definitely not right. It's one thing if I don't recognize you, but it feels like Theresa doesn't even recognize me... Hey, Theresa, wake up! Is it because your injuries are too bad? How come you don't recognize me after only being apart for a short while? I'm your niece Kiana."

Kiana was also somewhat confused. Theresa's wary expression didn't seem fake, so she stepped forward to explain the situation to Theresa. However, the nun opposite her showed an even stranger expression after hearing her name. All her doubts eventually turned into sudden realization. Theresa's face flashed with wisdom. There was no mistake, it must be so.
