I, Herrscher Slayer

Aside from the possibility that the perverted woman had gone completely insane and done something to Shen Gonglin at the bar, Shen Gonglin's body was still pristine, without any strange marks left behind.

Of course, Kiana only intended to keep this matter to herself and tell no one. If Shen Gonglin found out, he would surely start talking about seeking death or shouting that all Valkyries were perverts. Therefore, for his sake and the reputation of all Valkyries, she would bear this burden alone.

"Tsk, so this can't be sold for money? I actually thought my first kiss would be worth a lot of money... How about this, let's sell Kiana's first kiss. We'll split the profits fifty-fifty. I'm confident I can sell your first kiss for a good price that will make us smile all night long, as long as you shut up and don't say anything."

As if genuinely considering the matter, Shen Gonglin proposed this highly feasible method. After all, if Kiana kept quiet, she was still a beauty, and many people would be willing to pay a hefty price for her, especially someone as pure-hearted as Shen Gonglin.

"I've decided. I'm going to throw you into the place with the most Honkai Beasts later. You can struggle to survive there with your rotten heart!"

Looking at Shen Gonglin as if he were a crawling insect, Kiana spoke words that sounded genuine. What was this guy thinking?

"Please, please don't do that!"

Fellow daoist, don't panic.

It's not broken. Don't panic. I just had an argument with my mom and was forced to admit fault. I'll be back to normal tomorrow. It'll be very soon.

Chapter 80: Villainess Character

A little while earlier, the two girls stood in front of the police station and took a deep breath. They had finally arrived. They had been mentally preparing themselves the entire way and had only just managed to accept the fact that Teacher Himeko had molested a minor and was caught by the police. Indeed, humans are the most complex creatures; how they act normally doesn't prove how they act in private. Mei had come to terms with it on the way. Teacher Himeko often talked about getting married and would get drunk. This time, it was probably the same. She got drunk and accidentally made a move on a boy, and she absolutely couldn't say anything to provoke her. She would just pretend nothing had happened.

"Let's go, Mei. Hurry up and pick up Teacher Himeko."

Fu Hua, standing beside her, glanced at Mei and walked forward first. Fu Hua was still wearing that very cool and revealing outfit today, the one Shen Gonglin liked quite a bit, with a copper ring-like decoration at her waist. Now, Fu Hua and Mei looked like two ordinary beautiful girls. No one would have guessed that they were Valkyries who fought against the Honkai.

"Oh, okay, Class President... Coming to a place like this again gives me a strange feeling."

Mei nodded and followed Fu Hua's footsteps. She had been to a place like this a long time ago because her father had been brought here for questioning. Coming here again now, Mei couldn't help but feel a strange sensation. Calm down, those things are in the past, no need to think too much about them.

The girl shook her head. Thinking about those unpleasant things reminded her of Kiana. That girl had stayed by her side during her lowest point. She wondered how Kiana and Shen Gonglin were doing now. Speaking of which, they should be passing through this city too. If she had arrived a little earlier, perhaps she could have met them. Shen Gonglin and Kiana going out together was really worrying. She should have applied to go with them.

"Hello, we are the representatives from St. Freya who contacted you earlier. We are here to pick up Wuliangta Himeko."

Holding the documents signed by Headmaster Theresa, Fu Hua and Mei found the person in charge after entering the police station. However, the long-haired female police officer who was dozing on the adjacent desk looked up when she heard the name. So, someone actually came to pick up that woman. She was still thinking about making Himeko admit her guilt. Seeing the documents in Fu Hua's hand, the female officer knew she probably had to let her go. This damned power!

"Alright, please wait a moment. We've already sent someone to fetch that lady."

The person in charge nodded after looking at the documents in Fu Hua's hand. Speaking of which, this wasn't a major issue. They didn't resort to torture or forced confessions. Himeko was just being kept in an unused office, being treated well with food and drinks. It shouldn't cause any trouble.

"Wait, wait a minute. Does that mean that woman is really an officer?"

The female officer quickly ran up and asked. These documents undoubtedly proved Himeko's identity. No way, that pedophilic archmage is actually an officer and a teacher? When did society become like this? It's so infuriating. Why can't I manage military personnel!

"Yes, Major Himeko is indeed an officer. Do you have a problem?"

Fu Hua looked at the nearby female officer with confusion, feeling that she seemed to harbor some hidden hostility towards Teacher Himeko. What was going on?

"...Nothing, just expressing my dissatisfaction with this damned society. You must manage this matter properly. Don't be lenient with her just because she's an officer and a teacher. That child is very cute and pitiful. Without me, she would have suffered great psychological trauma... It's so infuriating. I promised that child's guardian that I would handle it strictly, but... I'm sorry to them."

Uh... What's going on?

Looking at the female officer who inexplicably slumped on the table, beating her chest and crying loudly, Fu Hua and Mei were completely bewildered. Although they didn't know why, both of them felt like they had become villains who abused their power. They hadn't done anything strange, had they? If anyone did something, it was Teacher Himeko, and it had nothing to do with them. They were innocent.

"I told you I didn't pick anyone up! The kid was drunk, and I just intended to take him back to rest. You've all been misunderstanding me. What will it take for you to believe me?"

Himeko's resentful voice came through. But as she finished speaking so mournfully, she noticed that everyone in the office was looking at her with a very strange expression. What did this look mean? It was one thing for these strangers not to believe her, but why were her two students looking at her with the same expression? After all this time, didn't they know her?

"Teacher Himeko... That kind of behavior is already considered picking someone up. Please, don't do it again in the future. It's so embarrassing..."

Mei, who was thin-skinned, was already starting to bow and apologize to the police officers. She finally understood where that inexplicable sense of guilt was coming from. Teacher Himeko still didn't think she was wrong. She felt like they had truly become the villainous female characters who acted willfully and abused their power.

"Huh? What's wrong with me? What did I do? Why is it embarrassing? Mei, why are you apologizing all the time... Why are you apologizing too, Fu Hua!"

Seeing even Fu Hua bow and apologize, Himeko was getting confused. What kind of image did she have in these people's eyes? None of them believed her. Was she the type of person who would casually make a move on a young boy? Although she did intend to make a move on a young boy this time, the meaning was different.

"I'm sorry, my teacher has caused you trouble. We'll talk to her properly when we get back. Here, Teacher Himeko, you apologize with us too. Just say you'll never make a move on underage boys again. It's just an apology, it's fine."

Fu Hua and Mei stood together and bowed in apology. She even wanted to pull Himeko along. After all, this was her fault. This refusal to admit it was too unsightly. She didn't remember Himeko being this kind of woman. What was going on this time?

Could it be because she hadn't been with a man for too long? But she had gotten through so many years like this, she really couldn't figure it out.

"Wait a minute, Fu Hua. Although we are both A-rank Valkyries, I am still your teacher. You must respect your teacher. Besides, I'm not guaranteeing anything like that. Hey, didn't someone pick up Shen Gonglin yesterday? Tell me quickly where they went. If you delay my lifelong event, I'll make you pay!"

Completely fitting the persona of a villainous, pedophilic young lady, Himeko rested her hands on the office desk and asked this. Upon hearing the name, Fu Hua and Mei were stunned.

Shen Gonglin? Why is he involved again?

Chapter 81: Fellow Daoist, Help Me

"Do you think I'll tell you something like that! Even if you're a soldier, so what? He's such a handsome young man, and he definitely has a bright future. Why are you asking about this? Are you still not going to let him go?"

The female police officer also slammed the table and stood up, glaring at Himeko. This woman was too arrogant! She hadn't even left the police station yet, and she was already showing such intentions. She really wanted to arrest her, but why was such a woman still an officer? Damn it, even if she couldn't manage this, she wouldn't expose that boy's situation. This was the only thing she could do for him!

"What are you thinking? I just want to chat with him. Where are the statements you took yesterday? Let me see them."

Himeko said through gritted teeth. What grudge did this female police officer have against her? What did this have to do with her? Couldn't she just make things convenient? Didn't everyone say that the military and the police were like one family? Why did she feel like she was treating her like an enemy? Could it be that this older single woman saw that she was close to finding true love and was jealous, wanting to cause trouble for her?

Yes, that was very likely. Himeko looked into the female police officer's eyes and thought of this possibility. After all, she was very familiar with this kind of look.

"Ex-excuse me, Teacher Himeko, this Shen Gonglin you're talking about... What's going on?"

Mei and Fu Hua exchanged glances. The two girls sensed a possibility from each other's eyes. Mei hesitantly tugged at Himeko's clothes. This Valkyrie teacher who was excellent in all aspects, could she really be like what she and Fu Hua thought?

"It's Shen Gonglin. I only learned his name yesterday. He's a really good-looking guy... Mei, wait a moment. Let me get his information first."

Himeko only learned the name Shen Gonglin yesterday. It seemed to be left in the records by the person who picked him up. Just knowing his name wasn't enough for Himeko; she wanted to know more. Was the person who picked him up yesterday his sister or his girlfriend? It should be his sister, she thought. He's so young, he shouldn't have a girlfriend.

"Wait a moment, Teacher Himeko. The person you molested yesterday... wasn't it that Shen Gonglin?"

At this moment, Fu Hua reached out and grabbed Himeko's shoulder. Her emerald eyes were filled with seriousness. For some reason, Himeko felt that her eyes were turning slightly red. Wuliangta Himeko was very helpless. What do you mean, molested? Why do they all think she's like that?

"It wasn't molestation! I told you it was a misunderstanding. Fu Hua, what's wrong with you? Mei, what's wrong with you too? Why are you both reacting so strongly to this name? Is there a problem? I think the name sounds quite nice. What's going on with you two?"

It seems that if she has time, she'll have to let them understand her true character. In their eyes, is she the kind of pervert who pants heavily when she sees a cute boy on the street, then stalks him, forces him to drink when she gets a chance, and then takes him home when he's drunk? Himeko is very helpless. They are her students, and she's had enough. Does she look like a lolicon?

Although she was indeed planning to pursue a shota this time, it didn't mean she was a lolicon. It just so happened that the person she was interested in was a shota.

"Tell me what Shen Gonglin looks like. How tall is he? Is he fat or thin?"

How could Fu Hua not care? Although she didn't admit it, Shen Gonglin had learned martial arts from her, and he was considered her disciple. Although a disciple who was interested in his master's body was terrible, she couldn't just let him be taken advantage of by others. If this got out, it would be her master's reputation that would be tarnished. Fu Hua still wanted Shen Gonglin to inherit all the Five Forms of Taixu. It wouldn't do if he developed psychological trauma because of Himeko.

"Hmm? Fu Hua, you're interested in this too? Let me think... He's a bit shorter than you. He should be around Bronya's age. He has blonde hair..."

Although Himeko didn't know why Fu Hua suddenly said that, seeing her serious expression, she hesitated and told Shen Gonglin's physical characteristics. His age shouldn't be a problem, right? She was a modern woman, and they weren't that different in age. Besides, she was indeed more interested in younger men. As long as she explained it properly, Fu Hua and Mei should understand her.

"Teacher Himeko, are you talking about this person?"

After hearing Himeko's description, Fu Hua and Mei's expressions became solemn. Mei took out her phone and tapped it, showing it to Himeko. It was a photo of Shen Gonglin. Now all Himeko needed to do was confirm... This matter was probably true.

"It's him! Mei, how do you have his photo... And in this pose? Mei, what's going on?"

At this moment, Himeko and Fu Hua's gazes fell on Mei's face again. The phone showed a photo of Shen Gonglin, but what was with the blushing long-haired girl lying next to him? Isn't that Mei? Why is she lying next to Shen Gonglin!

"Ah... I was just lying there casually. There's no other meaning. I was just tired from taking care of him and needed to rest a bit."

Mei's face instantly turned red. How could she have shown that photo? There were so many photos of Shen Gonglin alone. When Shen Gonglin was unconscious, Mei liked to take photos of him out of boredom. That photo was one Mei took with great courage, lying next to Shen Gonglin. Normally, she kept it at the very bottom of her phone's album. But for some reason, she inexplicably dug it out and handed it over. The girl vaguely sensed that this might have been done by that other person.

What's going on? Why does this girl have that boy's photo on her phone, and in such an intimate manner? Could it be that their entire organization shares the same hobby? That boy is so dangerous.

The police officers in the office looked at Himeko and the other two with increasingly strange expressions. They really lived up to being a teacher and students. What kind of teacher, what kind of students. The teacher was planning to pick up a "corpse," and the student was already lying with that boy. This is too messy!

"Alright, let's talk about this outside first. Teacher Himeko, this Shen Gonglin is also from our St. Freya Academy, and you might even know him. As for you, Mei... I won't say anything. Let's leave here first."

Fu Hua rubbed her temples, feeling very troubled. Why were they all interested in Shen Gonglin? In front of his master... This is really something. Doesn't he know he's my disciple?

Chapter 82: Confronting the Honkai

"You mean, he's the angel who beat me up before? No way, wasn't that angel a girl? Shen Gonglin is a boy, right? He must be a boy?"

At the entrance of the police station, Himeko looked at Mei with a dumbfounded expression. What did this girl just say? She said Shen Gonglin was the angel who appeared when she first met Kiana and Mei in Sky City. Although she couldn't see the angel's appearance clearly at the time, Himeko was also deeply impressed by the angel who suddenly entered the battlefield. At that time, she couldn't even last long against that angel even when using the Hyperion's engine to activate the Nexus system. Now Mei suddenly said Shen Gonglin was that angel.

Could she be lying to make her give up on Shen Gonglin?

Himeko looked at Mei with a very strange expression. This child was too cunning. She could tell the difference between a boy and a girl. Someone as cute as Shen Gonglin must be a boy.

"Yes, he is indeed a boy, I can guarantee that. However, he was likely the suspected angel who fought with you, Teacher Himeko, at that time. Although he himself doesn't seem to have any memory of it."

Fu Hua nodded from the side. She could empathize with Himeko's disbelief. It was the same when she was teaching Shen Gonglin the Mindful Essence. But considering his behavior of lusting after her body and what she saw in the bathroom that time, Shen Gonglin was clearly a guy. Every time Fu Hua thought about it, she felt a toothache. Why did she still remember it so clearly? She wanted to forget it.

Why can the class monitor guarantee this?

Mei looked at Fu Hua in surprise. The sharp-minded girl immediately sensed something was wrong, but upon further thought, there seemed to be no contradiction. Maybe she was overthinking it.

"So, this isn't the first time I've met him? Our fate is even more incredible than I thought! Or perhaps this is what fate is called. I understand, this is the so-called peach blossom... No, this is what fate is called!"

To their surprise, Himeko had this reaction. In front of Fu Hua and Mei's dumbfounded expressions, Himeko's eyes began to shine, and she felt their deep connection more and more. If this wasn't a divinely ordained match, Himeko truly didn't know what fate was. It was said that a thousand glances in a past life were exchanged for one meeting in this life, and she and Shen Gonglin had met so many times and had such an intersection without knowing each other's identities. Himeko felt that she had already sensed God's hint!

He's good-looking, he's the type she likes, and now she knows he has that kind of strength. He perfectly fits Himeko's criteria for a partner. Moreover, she felt responsible for his amnesia. No, Himeko felt full of energy now. She really needed to consider it carefully.

"Uh... maybe it's fate. But Teacher Himeko, Shen Gonglin is a minor, so some things..."

Mei was a bit troubled. This Teacher Himeko seemed a bit strange. She knew Shen Gonglin was very beautiful, but his personality was actually hard to compliment. Teacher Himeko was probably just blinded by Shen Gonglin's appearance. They would definitely not be suitable. Teacher Himeko was looking for a marriage partner, but Shen Gonglin was still too young.

Fu Hua felt the same way. Shen Gonglin was still young and should be dedicating his precious youth to this Honkai. How could he be distracted by such trivial love affairs? To be honest, Fu Hua had her eyes on Shen Gonglin... no, she had high hopes for him. He could master the Mindful Essence so quickly, so perhaps he could master the other forms quickly as well. Therefore, he couldn't be thinking about those messy things in his prime.

Wouldn't it be better to learn martial arts from her?

"What's so scary about being a minor? Mei, Fu Hua, you have to remember, we are modern women. Our thinking shouldn't be so old-fashioned."

Himeko dangled her finger in front of Fu Hua and Mei. Why were Mei and Fu Hua, at such a young age, so old-fashioned in their thinking? Did age matter? Being a minor was indeed a bit problematic, but it wasn't like she couldn't wait for Shen Gonglin to grow up. They could date now, and when he became an adult, they could get married directly. Wouldn't that be great?

No, no, no, it's not that our thinking is too old-fashioned, it's purely that your thinking is too avant-garde. How can we possibly disrupt Himeko's terrible idea?

Looking at Himeko, who seemed lost in thought, Mei and Fu Hua's hearts sank. Logically, they should support Himeko's idea. But for some reason, the moment they thought it was Shen Gonglin, they were both thinking about how to stop Himeko. Perhaps it was because the other party was Shen Gonglin. For Shen Gonglin and Himeko's sake, they had to find a way to stop her.

"Oh, right. You said he was on a mission with Kiana, didn't you? Since I have nothing to do now, I'll go with them. Honestly, a probationary Valkyrie taking a boy with no experience? Theresa has lost her mind. At a time like this, an experienced Valkyrie should be taking them. That's settled. Since I'm out of the police station, Fu Hua and Mei, you two go back. I'll go provide support."

Since he was with Kiana, it meant that girl picked him up last night. Even if they left today, they shouldn't have gone too far. If she hurried, she should be able to catch up.

"No!"

However, just as Himeko was about to turn and leave, Fu Hua and Mei stood up together. How could they possibly grant Himeko's wish? The two Valkyries secretly made up their minds to stop Himeko with all their might!

"Why... Huh? Over there... it's the Honkai!"

Himeko looked at Mei and Fu Hua in surprise. She hadn't said she would do anything to Shen Gonglin. She just purely wanted to take them along as a senior to prevent accidents. Although love at first sight was important, Himeko would never do anything to a child she had just met. Their gazes made Himeko very unhappy, as if they were looking at a criminal!

But before Himeko could say anything, a violent explosion erupted from another corner of the city. As Valkyries, Himeko, Fu Hua, and Mei all felt a slight stinging sensation on their skin. Without a doubt, this was the Honkai.

The three Valkyries exchanged glances, and then they all burst into superhuman speed towards the direction of the Honkai. Regardless of anything else, confronting the Honkai was always the Valkyries' primary duty!

Chapter 83: A Proper Kiana

The breeze stirred up dust, and Shen Gonglin turned his gaze forward, looking at the devastated city before him. He slowly climbed down from Kiana's back. He hadn't felt anything particular when fighting the Honkai Beasts, but seeing the ruined city now, he truly understood the meaning of Honkai for the first time. Setting aside himself, who had the power to protect himself, Honkai was undoubtedly a disaster for ordinary people.

Beyond the rubble and ruins, Shen Gonglin's eyesight could even spot bloodstains within the collapsed houses. This scene made him a little uncomfortable. Kiana, however, seemed accustomed to such sights. While she was also saddened, her clear blue eyes were still filled with determination. Humanity would definitely overcome Honkai, no matter how long it took; that was certain!

"Is it a bit overwhelming? Shen Gonglin, there are many people in this world like us, and also different from us. The similarity is that we all have beautiful lives, and the difference is that we have the power to protect our own beautiful lives and even the lives of others. This is Honkai. The occurrence of Honkai signifies disaster. You'll get used to it. I'm sorry to show you this world, but even if it's not beautiful, it's still important. And what we need to do is to make this world beautiful again."

She pulled Shen Gonglin's arm, turning his gaze towards her. Kiana then pressed his head against her chest, comforting him. Shen Gonglin's strength was indeed great, but accepting such a scene was still difficult for him. Ever since he woke up, Shen Gonglin had only seen the beautiful side of this world. Besides strength, mindset was also important. This would be his first lesson in this world. Although it might not be pleasant, he had to give his all for this world.

"Who says I can't handle it? It's you who's suddenly acting like a mature, understanding big sister, giving me a 'face wash.' Let me tell you, with your size, you're still far from deceiving me. It's just Honkai, what's the big deal? Kiana, be serious! You're not acting like yourself!"

Unexpectedly, Shen Gonglin didn't appreciate it. He wriggled out of Kiana's embrace with disdain. He might have been a bit overwhelmed earlier, but being held and comforted like a child by Kiana was too much for him. It wasn't bragging, but Shen Gonglin believed he was far more mature than Kiana. He disliked it when she put on a mature, understanding big sister act. If Kiana could endure it, why couldn't he? After breaking free from Kiana's embrace, Shen Gonglin pinched her cheeks. The idiot, did she think he was some kind of fragile coward?

Even if he truly couldn't handle it, Shen Gonglin would never show it to Kiana!

"What are you saying! It's rare for me, this young lady, to want to comfort you, Shen Gonglin. Why are you being tsundere at a time like this? You were practically crying just now, and now you're acting all fierce... fierce what? Right, fierce but weak inside. Can't you just admit your inner weakness? Kiana big sister's embrace is waiting for you. And don't you dare say my size isn't enough! I'm better endowed than Bronya, the class president, and Auntie. Among people my age, I'm considered quite well-developed!"

Her facade crumbled in an instant. Kiana, who had finally managed to act serious in front of Shen Gonglin, immediately reverted to her usual self. The proud Miss Kiana, refusing to admit defeat, extended her finger and pinched Shen Gonglin's cheek, engaging in a cheek-pinching contest. Kiana, usually not very bright, managed to come up with an idiom to attack Shen Gonglin. This idiot, she was trying to comfort him, and he was resorting to personal attacks. And it was a blind, random attack at that. Was he blind? What was wrong with her figure?

It was clearly much better than some rare commodities.

"Tsk, what are you so proud of? That red-haired big sister I met last night had a much better figure than you. Her chest alone was almost bigger than your head. If it weren't for the interference, I might have had that kind of experience. What are you gloating about? There are so many people stronger than you in this world!"

The figure of the lady from last night was the best Shen Gonglin had ever seen. If possible, Shen Gonglin wanted to see her again. She didn't even need to get him drunk; a simple beckoning gesture would have sufficed.

"What! You're still thinking about last night! Shen Gonglin, tell me honestly, did you deliberately get yourself drunk yesterday hoping that woman would pick you up? I knew you weren't a good person. As your guardian, I need to teach you a lesson. You're not allowed to eat or go with strangers!"

The topic had deviated as usual. Shen Gonglin and Kiana wrestled in the ruins. Ultimately, Kiana, whose physical fitness far surpassed Shen Gonglin's, emerged victorious. Shen Gonglin, temporarily out of power, was no match for this strong, clumsy girl. How humiliating! He couldn't even defeat Kiana. Did he even have a reason to live?

This time, Shen Gonglin remembered. Pinned to the ground by Kiana, Shen Gonglin made a note of this significant event in his mental notebook. Kiana bullied him again today. He would get his revenge someday. Once his power was restored, he would give her a proper treatment.
