I, Herrscher Slayer: Little Vixen

"So you just wanted to untie Tesla? I have to say, your thinking is really weird. Normally, people would bite off the wrists from behind to untie ropes, so why did you choose to bite directly from the chest? Could it be that... you thought other places were too hard, so you chose a softer place to cushion it?"

Although there was indeed a moment when she wanted to send those two guys to their deaths with a New Year's greeting sword technique, reason brought Himeko back to her senses in time. After Himeko came over, Shen Gonglin no longer needed to try to bite him with her teeth. Himeko quickly walked over and lifted him off Tesla. The way he looked just now was like an alien laying eggs. She probably wouldn't be able to forget that scene for a long time.

"How could that be? I have no experience in this area. It's just that Rita tied me up too tightly. I had no choice."

As expected of Himeko, she saw through my thoughts so easily. She's got some skills.

While praising Himeko's keen insight, how could Shen Gonglin possibly admit it honestly? With Himeko's help, Shen Gonglin and Tesla easily regained their freedom. As soon as Tesla was freed, Tesla angrily kicked over a chair. The scientist's young lady was furious, her face flushed red. Why had someone seen them? All of this was thanks to that woman Rita Roseweisse, the culprit, the cancer of the world, a cancer of the world that was only slightly less formidable than Shen Gonglin!

"Don't let that maid fall into my hands! How dare she humiliate me! I've never been so disgraced! I never want to see her again!"

Tesla screamed angrily, vividly demonstrating what it meant to be furious. Tying her up was bad enough, but the way she tied the ribbons was like preparing an exquisite gift was bad enough, but to make matters worse was her attitude – apologizing while tying her up, and even carefully spraying perfume on both sides of the ribbons. This was utterly insulting to Tesla. If it weren't for that, she wouldn't have been treated like this by Shen Gonglin. Everything was her fault; she would remember this grudge.

Tesla blamed everything he had suffered on Rita. Since Rita claimed to be Shen Gonglin's maid, she might as well take the blame for her master's problems as well. Tesla wasn't one to suffer in silence, and he was determined to get revenge!

Chapter 106 Little Fairy

"What's wrong with her? Did Rita really do something so terrible to her? Why does her reaction seem... a bit too much?"

Tesla looked like it was about to spontaneously combust, while Himeko felt something was off. She leaned close to Shen Gonglin and whispered, "Why does she seem even angrier than I was just now?" She was indeed angry when she first came in and saw Shen Gonglin lying on Tesla's chest, but she had calmed down and was fine now. She hadn't said anything, so why was Tesla so furious?

"It's alright. I reckon she's just shy and doesn't know what to do, so she's pretending to be angry. Just ignore her and let her calm down. But Himeko, weren't you tied up by Fu Hua? How did you escape?"

As a seasoned tsundere, Shen Gonglin was quite aware of Tesla's current state. At this point, it was best to leave her alone to calm down. Enough time had already been wasted. Shen Gonglin's unease grew stronger. If he didn't find Kiana soon, he didn't know what would happen. He couldn't afford to waste any more time here. Shen Gonglin could sense an unusually strong Honkai energy reaction in a certain spot. His intuition told him that Kiana was in that location.

"A lot has happened... In short, we must keep going. This is a laboratory, and at the very bottom of this laboratory, we should find what we need."

Recalling that white figure, Himeko didn't know if it was an illusion or reality, but now she was willing to believe her. She said that what she needed was at the bottom of this research lab, so she must need it. Now was not the time for her to leave. Between losing the power of the Valkyrie and living a normal life, and continuing to shine with her own light and heat, which should she choose? Wasn't it obvious?

"I see... Himeko, give me a touch on the wrist."

Shen Gonglin knew what he should do, but he was also worried about Himeko's condition. Although he couldn't see, he could hear the weakness in Himeko's voice. Although this method was only a temporary solution, it was the only thing he could do for Himeko right now, and he hoped it could help her.

Without hesitation, she offered her wrist to Shen Gonglin. Everyone in the Far East Branch trusted Shen Gonglin unconditionally, and she wasn't worried at all about what Shen Gonglin might do to her. However, Shen Gonglin held Himeko's wrist to her lips. Other enhancements couldn't be used, but the vampire genes were still working within Shen Gonglin. Even if Himeko didn't say anything, she could sense it. As Valkyrie, Himeko's adaptability to Honkai energy was far lower than Kiana and Mei's. According to the data, this was probably because she was already past the age requirement when she underwent Valkyrie modification. Rin had wanted to help Himeko improve this situation before, but because of laziness, Shen Gonglin had never taken any concrete steps. Now, she could only try to salvage the situation at the last minute.

He bit Himeko's wrist, drawing her blood while Shen Gonglin's blood entered her body. Shen Gonglin's adaptability to Honkai energy was unparalleled; no amount of Honkai energy could affect him. The blood he injected into Himeko had the same effect in her body. Moreover, Shen Gonglin's blood could activate her cells, even healing Bronya's leg injury for a period of time, not to mention her internal injuries. For these Valkyrie, Shen Gonglin's blood was a stimulant without side effects.

Um... never mind, there are still side effects. Didn't you see Himeko is already kneeling on the ground?

"Hmm? What's wrong... Hiss... So that's what it feels like. No wonder... No wonder Bronya and the others were like that..."

Gasping for breath, Himeko's face was flushed an unnatural red. She hadn't expected that even Valkyrie Shen Gonglin resolute and battle-hardened as herself couldn't withstand Rin's attack. If Shen Gonglin hadn't been supporting her, she probably would have collapsed to the ground. So this was what those young girls experienced? How could they possibly withstand it? Even she couldn't. But her physical condition... she had never felt so good before.

Besides feeling weak in the legs, Himeko also felt a surge of power welling up from deep within her body. Her body had never felt so light, as if all the injuries caused by her lack of adaptability to Honkai energy had disappeared. With her rosy eyes wide open, Himeko finally understood why Theresa had classified this information about Shen Gonglin as top secret. If this ability were to be discovered, it would be terrifying.

"You should feel much better now, right? Himeko, this weakness in your legs is a side effect. When I'm treating Bronya, I usually suggest she take a shower when she can move around, but we don't have that option right now, so just bear with it. Your body should recover in a little while. Because we still need to fight, I only gave you a light tap on your wrist. For the best effect, I would have to bite your neck, but then... you probably wouldn't be able to move around for the rest of the day."

Licking the bloodstains on Himeko's wrist, Shen Gonglin explained that, in his experience, biting the wrist was the least damaging place for them. They could regain their mobility after a short rest, though the effect might be slightly less. The most effective place was the neck, after all, they were vampires, and biting the neck was the way to go. Actually, biting the legs or feet would probably be just as effective, but biting those places always felt a bit strange. So, in the end, the wrist was the most convenient. This way, he could also heal some of Himeko's hidden ailments. He would treat her more specifically after this matter was over. As long as she cooperated, Shen Gonglin didn't think biting her neck and using his medical skills would be difficult.

"This... this is good enough, Shen Gonglin. If I had known you were this useful, I would have let you bite me sooner... you really are... a troublesome little devil..."

She tried to stand up, but her body wouldn't allow it. Himeko breathed a sigh of relief and finally sat down on the ground. It was a relief that she had shown such a vulnerable side in front of her students. Fortunately, Shen Gonglin couldn't see it, otherwise her dignity as a teacher would probably have been completely destroyed.

A charming little devil? Why is Himeko suddenly starting to flirt like that? Saying things like that... I'm not some charming little devil at all!

Chapter 107 Do What You're Expected to Do

"Hey, what are you two doing! Don't do your own thing when someone's angry! Hey, Himeko, what's wrong?"

Meanwhile, Tesla noticed the problem between Shen Gonglin and Himeko. He had been making a scene for so long without anyone paying attention, and when he turned around, he saw Shen Gonglin and Himeko being all lovey-dovey. The red-haired scientist was very annoyed and ran over to separate the two. What were they doing? What were they doing in front of him? Why was Himeko's face so red? It was even redder than his own just now... Did this mean that she had been done something even worse than what he had just done?

"Phew... I'm fine, or rather, I've never felt better. Tesla, let's keep going down to the next level. I have a feeling that we need something here."

Taking a deep breath, Murata Himeko stood up. Although her legs were still a little weak, she felt better than ever before. The blood that Shen Gonglin had injected into her body was still taking effect. Originally, Himeko wanted to burn her last embers to light the way for her students. Although it was somewhat resolute, it was the best ending Himeko could imagine. But now someone told her that she could not only guide her students but also walk with them... This world was moving towards the beautiful future she hoped for. Since that was the case, she would also do her best to contribute her share to this world. What was the point of letting her students work so hard? She was their teacher!

"Why do I feel like you've suddenly become so energetic? You're not as reckless as before... Okay, judging from the look of this place, there must be some secret hidden here. Let's find the communication terminal first and let Chicken Coop Head and the others know our location. We can talk about other things after we meet up... Shen Gonglin, can you still walk? If you can't, let this woman carry you. She seems to be in great shape right now. She could run several kilometers even if she was carrying a cow."

Tesla looked at Himeko in surprise. If she was like a flower that was about to wither before, then she was like a rose in the early morning. What did Shen Gonglin do to her just now? She suddenly became a completely different person. This girl has so many secrets. I must study her carefully when I have time.

Carrying a cow on her back for several kilometers... Tesla really knows how to talk, she's always criticizing everyone. Does she even have any friends with that mouth?

Himeko's lips twitched. Hearing her say that, she felt like a big, strong fool with no substance. However, carrying Shen Gonglin on her back wasn't difficult. But Himeko didn't want Shen Gonglin to get involved anymore. He had already helped her recover her physical condition, and she felt much better mentally, though she didn't know what Fu Hua had done. Now Shen Gonglin had also helped her recover her physical condition, but Shen Gonglin herself hadn't recovered to her best condition. She couldn't see, and she couldn't transform into her strange angelic state. Shen Gonglin needed to find a safe place to stay.

However, if it's his request, Himeko is willing to bring him to the battlefield, as she will definitely protect him.

"No need, I'm not of much use in my current state. There are only some mecha guards in this lab, so I don't think there's any danger. I'll leave the rest to you two. I'm so tired, I need to rest here for a bit. Come find me when you're done."

Shen Gonglin shook his head, not intending to continue traveling with Himeko and the others. He still trusted Himeko's abilities; after being healed by his blood, she should be safe. Tesla traveling with her wouldn't be a problem either. However, Shen Gonglin had his own things to do. Even though he couldn't see, his senses remained sharp. In a void, the concentration of Honkai energy was like a lighthouse on the sea—that should be Kiana's location. His intuition told him that Kiana's situation was dire, so he had to get there quickly.

As for whether he could make any difference by going there... that was not something Shen Gonglin was considering. Like a certain scientist, his plan was not to make any plans.

As she spoke, Shen Gonglin groped her way to sit on the chair that Tesla had previously placed in, adopting a relaxed, lounging posture. The two of them absolutely couldn't bear to let someone as injured as her participate in the battle, and if they left, she would be free to move around.

"Huh? You're not planning to come along? That doesn't feel like you're usually like this. Are you planning something weird? No, I can't trust you without you by my side. Come with me."

Tesla looked at Shen Gonglin with surprise. This reaction was not like Shen Gonglin at all. Her woman's intuition told her that Shen Gonglin was probably up to something again. Didn't he know his current state? Given Shen Gonglin's personality, she didn't believe that Shen Gonglin would stay obediently.

"Alright, Dr. Tesla, let him stay here. We don't have time to waste."

Unexpectedly, Himeko was also supporting Shen Gonglin. Even Tesla had sensed that Shen Gonglin might be thinking something, so how could Himeko not know? However, this time she didn't intend to stop him. She always had the strongest faith in Shen Gonglin; he was her best student, Himeko trusted him even more than she trusted herself. Besides, she wasn't really worried about Shen Gonglin's safety at Schicksal Headquarters. Rita's attitude towards him was self-evident; in a critical moment, she would definitely not hesitate to stab Otto in the back to protect Shen Gonglin. Fu Hua and Durandal were also self-evident; with Schicksal's current high-end combat power treating him that way, what was there to be afraid of?

"Hey, why are you acting like this too! Is this how Schicksal takes care of people? You guys are practically letting him grow up without any care. No wonder he's turned out badly. If it were me, I wouldn't treat him like this... Hey, hey, hey, don't grab my arm. I'm talking to you. How about we consider having him fostered here at Anti-Entropy for a while after this is over? It's time to show you our educational methods."

Tesla wanted to speak, but Himeko had already pulled her arm and led her into the laboratory. According to Fu Hua's guidance, that thing was there. As for fostering Shen Gonglin...

"No need, we can take care of our own family, so please don't worry about it, Doctor... Shen Gonglin, go do what you think you should do. No matter what, I will fully support you."

As she casually replied to Tesla, Himeko turned around and smiled at Shen Gonglin. Whether he could see her or not, she was always behind him.

Chapter 108 Kisses and Hugs

Himeko's words... Could it be that she knows what I'm planning to do?

Oh well, so be it. She already said she'd support me, so what's there to be afraid of? Kiana, you better stay put, I'll be there soon.

After waiting a while, and once Himeko and Tesla had walked away, Shen Gonglin took a deep breath. Even if she couldn't see, she still had other methods. She could observe the world without her eyes. Kiana was in that direction. Perhaps seeing her now would be a burden. As everyone knows, Shen Gonglin is terrible with directions. If she could see the road, she might still go astray. But if she couldn't see and relied on her intuition, she might succeed.

Reaching out and feeling his way along the wall, Shen Gonglin slowly approached Kiana's location, guided by his senses. Even if it was fraught with difficulty, he had to get there. That girl must be so helpless right now; this was the perfect opportunity to show off his chivalrous side, the perfect chance to strike while she was vulnerable. Although Kiana wasn't the brightest, she was pretty sharp in other areas. In short, no matter what, Shen Gonglin didn't feel he'd be at a disadvantage. And besides... she must be terrified right now, having suffered such trauma in the illusion. He felt responsible for that, so he had to be there to comfort her.

Carefully groping her way forward, Shen Gonglin was very determined. Kiana, she should still be pampered. Consider it repaying Kiana for taking such good care of her. If she didn't rescue Kiana, who would play games with her, who would finish her food for her, and who would keep her entertained when she was bored?

Hmm, thinking about it this way makes me feel much better. I'm not doing this for Kiana, it's purely for myself.

Arrogant people are always unwilling to admit what they think, and as everyone knows, Shen Gonglin is a prime example of this. If Kiana knew that he had gone through so much trouble to save her, that idiot would definitely become arrogant. So Shen Gonglin immediately found a reason for himself: he wasn't just doing this for Kiana; he was doing it mostly for himself, to make his future better and more comfortable. Kiana was indispensable, so no matter what, he had to bring Kiana back to his side!

Clang!

He was thinking about how cool things were going to be, but the problems he encountered in reality made it impossible for Shen Gonglin to be cool at all. Before he even stepped out the door, he bumped hard into the door frame. The pain in his nose made him squat on the ground and almost cry. It hurt so much. He still hadn't mastered the skill of "mind over matter." Although he had thought it was cool, Shen Gonglin realized the difficulty after actually doing it. It was obviously unreliable to find Kiana by simply feeling his way around. If he had to walk all the way there, he would definitely end up with a bloody head.

[Put your fur on, don't be scared. Come here, let me blow on it for you, it won't hurt.]

A voice suddenly echoed in her mind, Shen Gonglin looked up in surprise. She recognized the voice; it wasn't that lecherous guy...

[If you dare utter that word, believe me, I'll turn on you right now? Describing a girl who truly loves you like that, Shen Gonglin, doesn't your conscience hurt?]

Her thoughts stopped, and the Time Spirit's sinister voice echoed in Shen Gonglin's mind. How could this be? She hadn't been able to establish contact with him for so long, and now that she could finally speak and he could hear her, all she got was this kind of evaluation. How unfair! But, Shen Gonglin's evaluation of herself... did it prove she was very charming?

Thinking about it that way, I feel quite happy.

Like Shen Gonglin, the elf girl has a very unique way of thinking. She was a little angry just now, but she suddenly became happy again. Her ability to change her expression is truly worthy of a girl.

[Ouch, ouch, ouch, my conscience is killing me! How could I think of such a lovely girl like that? Please forgive me... By the way, how come we can connect again now?]

Hearing the elven girl's voice was a pleasant surprise. Putting everything else aside, finally someone was guiding him! Ever since he and Kiana came out of that illusion, he hadn't been able to contact the Universal Angel and Kurumi. It was probably because his brain was damaged, causing the connection to be temporarily interrupted. Now that the connection had been re-established, it proved that his brain was indeed recovering, and it was only a matter of time before his eyesight recovered. This made him more confident in rescuing Kiana Shen Gonglin. No problem, this was super safe.

[Isn't it because you acted so recklessly before that you became brain-damaged? In order not to add more burden to you, my silly angel and I had no choice but to cut off contact to lighten your load. Of course, this was all my idea. See how good I am to you? Don't you want to kiss me and hug me?]

The elf's explanation was exactly what Shen Gonglin had expected. Hearing her boastful performance, Shen Gonglin couldn't help but smile slightly. Was this girl just waiting for her to praise her? Unlike the somewhat silly and Universal Angel, the Time Elf was a really quirky girl. Just talking to her was very interesting to Shen Gonglin. One was silly and cute, and the other was quirky and cute. These two girls in her head were both very fun.

Yes, yes, I really want to hug and kiss you, but right now I need your help...

"He's got that scumbag vibe, "Shen Gonglin casually replied to the spirit girl in her mind. Although she quite enjoyed talking to her, this guy was getting serious as they talked. Right now, the most urgent thing was to save Kiana. After that was over, Shen Gonglin wouldn't mind having a deep and shallow conversation with her, but for now, it was more important to get down to business.

[Here it is!]

However, the elf girl was headstrong and didn't wait for Shen Gonglin to finish speaking. Or rather, she only ever listened to what she wanted to hear. If he said he wanted to hug and kiss her, then there was no need to say more; she could deliver it to his door.

The shadows on the ground stirred, and the elven girl suddenly leaped out of Shen Gonglin's shadow. Shen Gonglin felt a fragrant breeze on his face, and he subconsciously reached out to catch the girl. All he could feel was the girl's softness. Miss Tokisaki wrapped her arms around Shen Gonglin's neck and hung herself on him. Since Shen Gonglin needed his help, he naturally had to do it without hesitation.

"Come on, didn't you want a kiss and a hug? Well, I've brought it right to you now, what are you waiting for?"

With her arms draped around Shen Gonglin's neck, the elven girl looked at his lifeless purple eyes and pursed her lips. His eyesight hadn't recovered yet, and he needed her by his side right now... Since he needed her by his side, it was only natural to offer him something as a reward.

Chapter 109 The Lord is Here

"Ah... a hug is fine, but let's talk about kisses later, okay? We're running out of time right now, so please give me directions. We need to find Kiana as soon as possible."

Holding the girl's soft waist in his arms, Shen Gonglin felt a little numb. He hadn't expected Kurumi to come out so suddenly. It seemed that the loss of her five senses and the interruption of her brain connection had made the elf girl a little excited, which was why she was acting this way. In comparison, the Universal Angel wouldn't be like her. Both of them were very cute girls, but the Universal Angel was obviously more obedient.

Why is it this clingy one who came out? Shen Gonglin just wanted her to help with directions, but why does she look like she wants a reward?

"Oh, you've only been here a minute and you're already mentioning other girls' names in front of me again. Do you know that in some places this would get you drowned in a pig cage? You fickle bastard... Fine, fine, I'll take you there, okay? But it's a deal, once I take you to that white-haired guy, you have to let me kiss you for a while... Hehehe, slurp"

Hanging around Shen Gonglin's neck, Kurumi wrapped her legs around Shen Gonglin waist, making a deal with him. Her slender legs seemed quite strong at this moment. Instead of kissing and hugging him and spending some time together after just meeting, she was thinking about other girls. This was only Shen Gonglin. No, she couldn't just listen to him so easily. She had to fight for her legal rights.

"You've gone a little too far. One kiss is the most you can do, any more than that."

Shen Gonglin frowned as she haggled, her nose filled with the delicate fragrance of the elf. She felt her brain was a little overwhelmed. She had important business to attend to and couldn't let herself get lost in the girl's charm. Shen Gonglin quickly shook her head, trying to stay clear-headed. She had to let her know that she had her limits.

"Deal. Let's move forward now. Go to the right, the hand that uses chopsticks... Okay, okay, I know you can use both hands, but let me hold your hand."

Surprisingly, the elf girl was incredibly easy to talk to. Shen Gonglin was thinking she'd probably have to argue with her, but the girl readily agreed. The elf girl, with her uneven ponytails, had bright, sparkling eyes. One kiss it is fine, but the duration of each kiss is up to her. With her strength, kissing for half an hour straight shouldn't be a problem. Considering Shen Gonglin's lung capacity, well, this is feasible.

Thinking about her plan, the elf girl pulled Shen Gonglin's hand and headed towards Heimdall Research Lab. With someone leading the way, Shen Gonglin felt much more relaxed. Although the elf girl was quirky and gave off an unreliable vibe, she was also quite good at taking care of people. With her holding his hand, Shen Gonglin felt like he was walking on flat ground even though he couldn't see. That's good. Kiana, I'm here.

"The actors are in place unexpectedly. It seems that Rita really has her own ideas. Even in this state, she still wants to get to the Queen's side. How touching."

In the research lab, Otto watched the figures of Shen Gonglin and Tokisaki Kurumi on the monitor screen with a calm expression. His deep green eyes seemed to be thinking about something. He had only thought that Shen Gonglin might come. The pseudo -Herrscher beside him was indeed not in Otto's plan. With him as a stimulus, the Queen's revival plan would be more certain. But now... it seems that things are moving closer to his goal.

"Your Excellency, should we send out garrison troops to intercept them? At their current speed, they will be approaching the experimental subject soon. Please give the order."

Otto's adjutant, who was watching the monitor with him, asked, "The concentration of Honkai energy is almost at its peak. The Honkai could awaken at any moment. It's time for us to evacuate. If anything goes wrong at this time, all our efforts will be in vain. Therefore, she believes that we must keep Shen Gonglin and the others outside."

"No need for that. Drama is only interesting when it has unexpected twists and turns. And if I'm not mistaken, this will be the most powerful nourishment for the Queen's revival. Let's leave it at that. Lift all restrictions, notify the Valkyrie forces to stay away from the Heimdall Research Lab area, avoid fighting the Herrscher that will appear next, and prepare to face the future of humanity."

Having given this order, Otto turned and left the research lab, his adjutant following behind. The empty lab was now empty except for the petri dish emitting a faint glow. In the liquid filled with Honkai energy, the white-haired girl was sleeping peacefully. Her usual two large braids were now loose, her long hair cascading over her shoulders. Kiana remained motionless in the petri dish, but her tightly closed eyes shone with golden light. The Queen was trying to take control of the body prepared for her.

"It feels like things are going a little too smoothly. Not only are there no Honkai Beast, but there aren't even any defensive mechs. Hmm... I smell a strong conspiracy."

Following Kurumi towards the laboratory, Shen Gonglin sensed the general direction while Kurumi scouted the way. The two moved quickly and were already very close to Kiana's location. However, the quiet encounters along the way aroused Shen Gonglin's suspicions. When she was with Rita, they encountered many guard troops and Honkai Beast. Why was it getting quieter as they got closer? There must be supplies before a big battle. If Kurumi was her supply, then was she about to meet the final boss?

"Let me smell... There's no smell of conspiracy here. I only smell a sweet and sour scent of Gonglin's bloodline, an essential element in my life. Let me replenish myself."

Shen Gonglin tried to be serious, but the dim-witted elf girl completely ruined the mood. She grabbed Shen Gonglin's hand and pretended to smell it, completely unconcerned about what was about to happen. Instead of worrying about such things, she was more interested in replenishing her Gonglin's bloodline. This stuff was really effective; everyone who had used it said it was great.

"Stop messing around, and don't say I'm being sarcastic. When you say that, I feel like I haven't washed properly in the shower. Be a little more serious, I feel like we're getting closer and closer."

With a slight push, Shen Gonglin pushed away the elf girl who was trying to get close again. She was quite helpless about this. Couldn't she be serious for once? The hatch opened, and in Shen Gonglin's perception, the concentration of Honkai energy here was so high that it was almost impossible to dissolve. Without a doubt, Kiana was here.

Chapter 110 Before the Wife

"Hey, don't be so reserved. You promised that if I took you to this white-haired guy, you'd kiss me. You can't go back on your word... This place doesn't look like a good place at all. It looks like a base for human experimentation. It makes me feel uncomfortable just looking at it."

Pushed away by Shen Gonglin, the elf girl feigned a moment of grievance, then her attention was temporarily drawn to the laboratory environment. This place truly lived up to its name as a laboratory, with jars of unknown purpose scattered around, the main computer faintly glowing, and the most attractive thing in the laboratory being the girl immersed in the central petri dish. She had some impression of this white-haired Kurumi; Shen Gonglin's purpose in coming here was to save her, and she was a little jealous. She needed to think of a way to solidify her own identity.

"Really? I feel the same way. I felt uncomfortable as soon as I arrived here. Not only is the Honkai energy dense, but there seems to be an indescribable malice about it. Staying in this environment for too long might have an effect on my health. Kiana... just wait, I'll get you out of here right away."

"I can't see anymore, "Shen Gonglin said softly. His other senses seemed to have become more acute since he lost his sight. Just by standing here, he could feel a sense of malice. Shen Gonglin gently raised his hand and placed it on the glass dish in front of him. Even through the glass, he could feel the pain Kiana was suffering. It must be very painful for her. But it's okay, he's here now and he'll save her soon.

"Um... I'm sorry, Rin. Although you look really handsome and like the main character right now, that white-haired girl is actually over here. Even if you're speaking passionately while leaning against the wall, she won't hear you. How about we... change direction?"

Shen Gonglin wanted to convey his feelings to Kiana, but the fairy interrupted him hesitantly. He leaned against the wall and muttered to himself, "Kiana's over here. This looks so funny. As expected of Rin, even in this environment, he can't forget to be funny. I almost burst out laughing. The dull and tense feeling from before has disappeared all at once. He's really so funny."

"Why didn't you say so sooner!"

Her face flushed slightly, Shen Gonglin was furious and embarrassed. She'd spent so long building up her emotions, only to end up expressing them to the wall! This spirit was truly wicked; didn't she know she couldn't see? Did she just want to see her make a fool of herself? She'd never seen such an annoying person. Even Cocolia was better than her! Shen Gonglin stormed towards the petri dish containing Kiana. With Kurumi by her side, she strode forward without fear of falling. It was infuriating! Now she had to start building up her emotions all over again. She'd never seen such an annoying spirit!

Just as Shen Gonglin Kurumi, the nimble-eyed elf suddenly made a move. She grabbed Shen Gonglin's wrist and before he could react, he felt a chill run down his spine as the Shen Gonglin pressed him against a glass jar. What was she trying to do? Had something happened?

"What happened? Did something happen? What's wrong with Kiana?"

Shen Gonglin asked somewhat anxiously, while the elf licked his lips and smiled. His heterochromatic eyes, one gold and one red, looked at Shen Gonglin as if she were a fine prey. So concerned about her? Then he couldn't bear it.

"No, that lady is still sleeping soundly. It's just that someone should keep their promise. They said they would let me kiss her if they took you to her, and now it's time."
