I, Herrscher Slayer

"Hmph, Shen Gonglin, now you know who's stronger, right? Be more polite to me from now on, and follow me properly… Other Valkyrie units are probably about to join the fight too. It's time for me to show what I'm made of! Guys like you who can only use one move are just supposed to stay behind and admire my invincible charm!"

After bullying Shen Gonglin, Kiana felt a lot better. It was as if the gloom she felt from seeing the Honkai had completely cleared. She temporarily let Shen Gonglin off the hook, twirling her dual pistols before gripping them steadily. Back on the bus, Shen Gonglin had stolen all the spotlight, and it was time to show him how powerful she was. What if he always thought she was weak? Since the Honkai outbreak had occurred, other Valkyries would surely be deployed, so she had to hurry.

This girl, I really want to kick her butt.

Shen Gonglin grumbled as he followed Kiana. Without power, he could only let Kiana be arrogant. Looking at her perky little backside, Shen Gonglin gritted his teeth. Don't get cocky, I'll get revenge sooner or later!

Chapter 84: Deployment

What are these things? Is this what they call a natural disaster? White and purple… creatures I've never seen before, like messengers of the devil!

As the man watched the Honkai Beasts flying overhead, he couldn't help but murmur these thoughts. He had only seen reports of the Honkai on the news, and outbreaks in other places only appeared on television, feeling so unreal. He had even imagined how he would fight if the Honkai happened around him. But now that it had actually happened, he realized he didn't even have the strength to protect his family. Although he wanted to retreat, looking at his wife and the child in her arms, he gritted his teeth and swallowed. No, I must protect them.

"It's… it's okay. We just need to go that way. Didn't the broadcast say the city center has established a safe zone? We'll be fine once we get there. Be careful, hold the child steady."

Holding an iron rod, the man summoned his courage and walked ahead. The woman, holding their child, followed him cautiously. She never imagined such a disaster would happen to her own family. But thankfully, both her husband and child were safe.

"Mmm, honey, be careful… Ah!"

The woman nervously cautioned her husband, but a sudden white shadow appearing ahead made her let out a scream. By the time she tried to cover her mouth, it was too late. The bizarre monster, whose appearance was impossible to describe, had already turned its head. With so many Honkai Beasts on this street, it was only a matter of time before ordinary people like them were discovered.

"Tch, damn it! You guys run, I'll hold them off!"

As if by reflex, the man made his decision instantly. He gripped the iron rod tightly and charged forward. As he swung the iron rod, the monster in front of him remained motionless. This solid iron rod was undoubtedly a weapon. Seeing that it hadn't moved at all, a flicker of surprise flashed in the man's eyes. Could it be that these guys are just all bark and no bite? Can I protect my family now?

The woman behind him didn't move at all. She tightly held the child in her arms and looked at her husband in front of her. She couldn't bear to abandon her husband and flee alone. Besides, with the speed of those Honkai Beasts, she wouldn't be able to run far. Holding her child, she would never try to survive alone. Her family had to stay together. All her hope rested on her husband!

However, miracles wouldn't happen so easily. Unlike the flying Honkai Beasts, the shell of the Honkai Beast in front of the man was even harder. The man had already realized this when the solid iron rod struck the Honkai Beast. The iron rod was flung far away, and the man fell to the ground, his hands trembling, his tiger's mouth split open. The Honkai Beast in front of him was unharmed. Seeing it raise its white spear, the man closed his eyes in despair. Damn it, is this the end for me?

I just hope my wife and child can live on well… Why didn't she run away!

As the man's eyes widened, his usually timid wife placed their child beside her and bravely stood in front of him. Seeing her stretch out her arms, the man struggled to get up. At that moment, the Honkai Beast thrust out its spear. No, at least, at least let me get in front of her!

"Very good, this is how you fight the Honkai! But uncle and auntie, leave the rest to me. Let the professionals handle this kind of thing!"

Just as the couple despaired, a clear voice suddenly rang out. They saw a white blur flash before their eyes, and a beautiful, cute girl rushed in front of them. Her seemingly agile body easily kicked away the spear in the monster's hand. With two swift steps, the girl stood imposingly before them. Professionals… can this girl handle the monster in front of us?

"Heh heh, what's the point of bullying ordinary people? I'll play with you."

Kiana beckoned to the Honkai Beast in front of her. Her actions were completely wasted on the blind. This level of Honkai Beast had no consciousness; their sole purpose was destruction. Seeing Kiana before it, it simply tightened its grip on its spear and charged forward. A smile played on Kiana's lips. If she defeated this one, she would have eliminated ten along the way.

Kiana, heading straight for the areas with the most Honkai outbreaks, charged forward with Shen Gonglin, not only eliminating Honkai Beasts but also rescuing people. Shen Gonglin, who could only be used once, had to obediently follow the young lady Kiana after his power ran out. Kiana also deliberately showed off her prowess in front of him, thinking that idiot must have seen it all. With her being so strong, Shen Gonglin wouldn't dare to be arrogant in front of her anymore.

A Valkyrie's duty was to fight the Honkai, and this was also the Kaslana family's mission. The girl's bright blue eyes sparkled. Seeing the two people protecting each other just now, the girl felt something stir within her. She had protected Shen Gonglin just now, hadn't she? She wondered what that guy was thinking of her now. In any case, seeing such scenes during the Honkai outbreak made Kiana feel exhilarated. Humanity could definitely defeat the Honkai!

Dodging to the side, Kiana braced her palm against the giant spear. The Honkai energy within the girl took effect. Despite the significant difference in size, she snatched the spear from the monster's hand. Then, Kiana mercilessly counter-attacked. For ordinary Valkyrie cadets, fighting the Honkai required careful consideration and planning before engaging in combat. But for Kiana, a born warrior, she felt that rushing in directly was faster. The spear pierced the Honkai Beast's white shell. The Honkai Beast, its life coming to an end, looked up at the girl with difficulty. What greeted it were two dark gun muzzles.

"Bye-bye, see you."

Both guns fired simultaneously. The bullets condensed by Honkai energy shattered the Honkai Beast's last trace of life. Watching the giant beast collapse, the eyes of the couple hiding behind them held an unreal glimmer. Had this disaster-like monster been so cleanly dealt with by this overly beautiful girl?

Her gaze turned to Kiana, who spun her dual pistols in a beautiful flourish before holstering them. The man and woman excitedly rushed to her.

No matter what, thanks to this girl, our family's lives were saved.

Chapter 85: Who's Lost?

"Thank you, thanks to you, little girl. If it weren't for you, we really wouldn't know what to do. We're so grateful!"

The couple, rescued by Kiana, hugged their child and rushed to Kiana to thank her. Their eyes shimmered with the light of surviving a disaster. They had thought their lives were over, but at that moment, they were saved. She was the savior of their entire family!

"It's nothing, it's nothing. Protecting the Honkai… no, fighting the Honkai and protecting ordinary people is our duty as Valkyries. It's fine now. You just need to keep going that way. A safe zone should have been established there, and you'll be fine once you get there."

Trying her best to appear reliable, Kiana puffed out her chest and acted very modestly. At the same time, her eyes couldn't help but dart backward. She figured Shen Gonglin must be awestruck by her serious and dependable demeanor by now. This girl normally didn't like dealing with such aftermath. She hated trouble. If Shen Gonglin weren't around, she would have just defeated the Honkai Beasts and left. But now, perhaps to show her reliability, Kiana patiently comforted the couple. It was all to make Shen Gonglin admire her. That guy didn't respect her at all. She never had a chance at school, but now that she finally had an opportunity, she had to show off!

"Thank you… But aren't you coming with us? If you don't come with us, I'm afraid on the road…"

Why does this girl keep looking back? From their angle, there was nothing behind them. The man was puzzled but didn't ask. Perhaps she could see something they couldn't, which wasn't entirely incomprehensible. After all, this girl alone could defeat such a monster; she was clearly not an ordinary person. If possible, he wanted this girl to travel with them. As long as she was there, any danger wouldn't matter, right?

"It's okay. I've already cleared out the Honkai Beasts in this direction on my way here. As long as you're careful, you'll be absolutely fine. We still need to go ahead and rescue more people like you, as that's our mission too."

Kiana patted her chest, assuring them. Her goal wasn't just these two people; she had to face more battles and show off her prowess to Shen Gonglin. She had to make a deep impression on Shen Gonglin while he was temporarily incapacitated. It was very safe over there, so it was fine.

"Is that so? Thank you so much… But miss, you said two people… but we only see you alone. Are you sure you came with two people?"

The man quickly thanked her again. Kiana's words completely put their minds at ease. But she said two people… they only saw Kiana. Did she have a partner here? They hadn't seen anyone else.

"Isn't he right over there? His name is Shen Gonglin, and he's my partner. Such a big person, you didn't see him… Huh? Where's Shen Gonglin? How can such a big person be gone?"

Kiana looked back, but there was no one behind her. Shen Gonglin had been following her all along. When did he disappear? She knew why it had been so quiet around her for so long. Given Shen Gonglin's personality, how could he be quiet? Could it be that she had lost him?

Kiana broke out in a cold sweat. It seemed she had forgotten about Shen Gonglin while fighting. It would have been fine if it were usual times; he had some self-preservation abilities. But now he was powerless. Leaving him alone in a battlefield swarming with Honkai Beasts… Kiana couldn't bear to think about it. Why hadn't she kept a better eye on that idiot? She should have carried that fool on her back the whole time!

"Alright then, you guys hurry to the safe zone. I'm so embarrassed. How could I have lost someone!"

Her composure instantly shattered. Her calm demeanor just now seemed fake. No, it was fake from the start. Kiana, thinking she had lost Shen Gonglin, panicked a little. That guy was too unreliable. In such complex terrain, he should have stayed close to her. No, she had to find Shen Gonglin as soon as possible.

Without time to say more to the couple, Kiana, muttering words they couldn't understand, took off running. She hoped Shen Gonglin hadn't wandered off randomly, and more importantly, she hoped he hadn't encountered any Honkai.

What's going on here?

The couple left behind stared at Kiana as she ran off, full of questions. Although they didn't understand what Kiana was saying, they felt that her flustered state was her true nature. So embarrassing, losing someone. What did that even mean?

Kiana, you idiot. You're a terrible navigator, yet you run around blindly. Now I have to search for you. When I find her, I'm definitely going to scold her. She's a terrible navigator, why didn't she stick close to me? Who knows where she ran off to. She's so worrying.

On another side of the battlefield, Shen Gonglin sighed as he laboriously climbed over collapsed houses. He was now unsure of his location relative to the route he and Kiana had taken. But that girl seemed to think Kiana was lost. No, not thought, he was absolutely certain Kiana was lost because he couldn't possibly be wrong. How could someone like him, with a strong sense of direction, get lost!

Shen Gonglin absolutely refused to admit he was directionally challenged. Even if he had passed this sign four times already, it was definitely because the city's decor was all the same, and had nothing to do with his complete lack of a sense of direction... It was all Kiana's fault, that idiot. If she had just stayed with him, how could this have happened? That guy was probably crying her eyes out in some corner right now.

Cry, Shen Gonglin wouldn't save her, cry your heart out!

Why was there no one here? He wanted to ask someone... he couldn't even ask for directions. This time, he'd try this way. Shen Gonglin chose a new path. He didn't have any other goals; he just wanted to extend a helping hand to those in need, just like Kiana... That maid over there, looking so weak, helpless, and pitiful, was a perfect candidate.

Yes, he wasn't just wandering around aimlessly. It was only because he heard the cute maid's helpless cries that he came over. He was here to save someone, not because he was lost!

Chapter Eighty-Six: Meeting the Maid

On the battlefield, a woman in a maid outfit strolled leisurely. But not far behind her lay the corpses of Honkai Beasts piled up like mountains. Even in death, these things still emitted Honkai energy and needed to be dealt with. The maid gently brushed aside a strand of her dark golden hair. She had to admit, this Honkai was truly annoying. If not for this unexpected situation, she should be in the cafe preparing to receive His Highness the Angel... But it didn't matter now. If it weren't for this Honkai, she wouldn't have seen His Highness the Angel like that. She had to admit, His Highness the Angel was indeed very spirited.

The information transmitted by the drone replayed in her mind. The elegant maid's face flushed slightly. The only pity was that half of the Immortal Blade squad had seen it. Although she had issued a gag order and had them hand over the recordings to her, those team members were all energetic girls, and she probably couldn't keep it a secret for long.

"Vice-Captain, the Immortal Blade has been deployed. Other Valkyrie squads have begun handling the rescue area. What is the next mission, please instruct."

Just as this Valkyrie maid, one of Schicksal's strongest on the surface, was lost in thought, a voice came through her tiny earpiece. Tools were useful and durable; she would complete any task she assigned quickly and accurately. Having such subordinates was her good fortune.

"Next, of course, is to slaughter them all. Alvit, issue the order to all team members: attack freely, hunt down all Honkai Beasts that enter your sight. If you encounter a Tank-class or higher Honkai Beast, request assistance. Everyone, the time for the hunt has come."

She issued the order without hesitation. The Immortal Blade was Schicksal's strongest team. As the sharpest blade, they should be used at the most crucial moments. The rescue units had other Valkyrie squads to help them, while the Immortal Blade only needed to charge headfirst.

Don't be fooled by Rita's usual elegant and perfect demeanor, as if nothing could break her calm and collected composure. Alvit knew that perhaps it couldn't be seen from her appearance, but in reality, this Vice-Captain... was a Valkyrie whose combat relied mostly on brute force.

It was fine for her to charge headfirst, after all, she was one of the Three Pillars of Schicksal, with extremely high combat power that allowed her to charge and court death as she pleased. Alvit felt that no matter how Rita acted, she wouldn't die. But it wasn't the same for them, the members of the Immortal Blade. Even though they were the strongest team, if they charged headfirst like the Vice-Captain, Alvit felt they would eventually be wiped out. Although there were no strong Honkai energy reactions yet, Alvit knew that if people courted death, they would die. If you don't have the diamond-hard skill, you can't take on the porcelain work.

"Immortal Blade squad, advance in groups of two. If you encounter Honkai energy reactions exceeding your processing capacity, request assistance immediately. Only by preserving our strength can we contribute the most to fighting Honkai."

Alvit made a slight modification to Rita's order and relayed the less reckless command. At this moment, the suppressed laughter from the other members of the Immortal Blade squad came through the public channel.

"Received, received. Following the Deputy Vice-Captain's orders. Vice-Captain, Alvit has defied you again. I report this and strongly suggest that this person who arbitrarily changed the superior's order be thrown into a pigsty. Subordinates who defy their superiors and talk back to them are the most detestable."

The members of the Immortal Blade enjoyed teasing this useful tool. Hearing the words on the public channel, Alvit immediately became a little anxious. She was only doing it for everyone's safety. How could they tease her like this? What if the Vice-Captain took it seriously? She really didn't mean to defy her.

"Oh? It seems that's indeed the case. Alvit, speaking of which, you seem to be dissatisfied with my orders, don't you? After the mission, I will have to teach you properly, to let you know what a subordinate's responsibility is."

Following the tone of the Immortal Blade squad members, fighting Honkai didn't require a dispirited army; a harmonious team atmosphere was also important. Rita didn't mind joking with her teammates on the battlefield. Hearing the constant laughter from the squad members in the channel, she turned off her earpiece. She should be heading over there now...

However, just as Rita was about to continue forward, the sound of crushing stones behind her startled the combat-ready Valkyrie. Rita turned around abruptly, her slender fingers holding a purple scythe at some point. The huge scythe swept towards her back with a whistling sound. When Rita saw that golden figure, her eyes widened. Why was he here?

Didn't he leave with that young lady from the Kaslana family on the bus?

That weak and helpless maid must have been very scared, right? Looking at the young woman not far away... should she say woman? Whatever. Ever since she woke up, all the women she had met, except for Theresa, seemed to be older than her. Shen Gonglin liked older women. Moreover, the maid's figure and attire were indeed pleasing to the eye. It could be said that before Shen Gonglin even approached her, he already had a very good impression of the maid. He had never concealed the fact that he was a sucker for good looks. Both her figure that perfectly filled out the maid outfit and her beautiful appearance were within Shen Gonglin's aesthetic range. Not to mention the maid outfit she was wearing.

That was a man's romance!

Shen Gonglin tidied his clothes, preparing to approach the poor, helpless little maid with a gentlemanly demeanor. She must have been very scared during the Honkai, and now he appeared as if he were a divine soldier descending from the heavens. Then, he could use the excuse of taking her to a safe place to ask her for directions, which wouldn't be abrupt. Perhaps a touching battlefield romance could even develop. Thinking of this, Shen Gonglin felt an urge to act.

By the way, what did a gentlemanly demeanor look like? Why was it that whenever he thought of this term, Shen Gonglin's mind would conjure up a lecherous image of someone wearing a dark coat who, upon seeing a young girl, would suddenly open his coat to reveal his embarrassing physique? Were all gentlemen like this?

If that were the case, then Shen Gonglin decided he shouldn't be a gentleman.

Unexpectedly, things developed far beyond Shen Gonglin's expectations. Just as he jumped down from the ruins, before he could even speak to the maid in front of him, he saw a terrifyingly large scythe slash towards him. As if by instinct, Shen Gonglin took half a step back, trying to dodge the scythe's blade. The scythe also stopped in front of Shen Gonglin at the right moment.

What was going on? This maid was different from what he had imagined.

Chapter Eighty-Seven: Problematic Head

His favorability plummeted. Shen Gonglin's eyes regained their composure at a visible speed. Was he too impulsive? As the saying goes, the prettier the girl, the more dangerous she is. Had he been with Mei and Kiana for too long, making him subconsciously assume that all pretty girls were good people? Speaking of which, the maid's appearance was indeed suspicious. On this battlefield, her maid outfit was still spotless, and that giant scythe proved she wasn't an ordinary person. Who was this person?

Before he could figure this out, Shen Gonglin suddenly felt a slight sting on his neck. The pain then intensified. He reached out to touch his neck, his fingers coming away wet with a patch of bright red. Even though the scythe had stopped, the accompanying cold wind had already cut Shen Gonglin's neck. Upon seeing the blood, Shen Gonglin almost cried out. Damn it, why did it hurt so much? And it was so... so dizzy.

His tolerance for pain was extremely low. Even though it was just a small cut, Shen Gonglin felt as if his throat had been slit. Coupled with his slight aversion to blood... He was already in a low-power state, barely able to maintain his ability to act. With all these stimuli, Shen Gonglin rolled his eyes and fainted. In his vision, which was slowly darkening, Shen Gonglin seemed to see the murderous maid rushing towards him in a panic. It was over, he was probably going to be taken advantage of.

I'm going to die, I'm going to die, I'm going to die. How could this have happened? She was just fantasizing about what her first meeting with the Angel Prince would be like, but in the blink of an eye, she had held a scythe to his throat. When Rita looked back at Shen Gonglin's face, she felt like she was about to crack. What should she do now? How could she elegantly and yet awkwardly explain this? Should she say there was a bug on his neck just now and she was only trying to help him get rid of it?

On the surface, Rita, holding her scythe, was as aloof as an ice Valkyrie, but in reality, the maid's heart had already begun to panic. Looking at Shen Gonglin's face, her purplish-red eyes couldn't help but tremble. Seeing him in person was indeed different from seeing him on surveillance. Both his smooth blonde hair and his purple eyes... coupled with that face that was even cuter than Theresa's, Rita felt like she couldn't stand steady.

That's right, Rita. L. Lorenz, one of the Three Pillars of Schicksal, an S-rank Valkyrie, especially, especially loved cute people and things. The last time she saw Shen Gonglin when he fainted, she was already amazed. Now, seeing Shen Gonglin alive and well was even more incomparable. His cuteness instantly surpassed Theresa's in Rita's heart. I'm sorry, Theresa, although you are also very cute, you are ultimately a girl. The Shen Gonglin in front of her now is cuteness incarnate!

Hoo... She felt like she would pounce if she wasn't careful. The immediate priority was to explain what happened earlier. Seeing the vigilance in his eyes, Rita felt a little flustered. What should she do... Huh? Why was he bleeding?

In Rita's wide eyes, a red mark slowly appeared on Shen Gonglin's neck, followed by the flow of bright red blood. Really, why was this scythe so sharp? She would definitely not use such a sharp scythe next time. Shen Gonglin should be fine, right? If it was just this small wound...

However, right before Rita's eyes, Shen Gonglin slumped down limply. The flustered maid quickly stepped forward to support Shen Gonglin's body. What should she do now? Stop the bleeding, yes, stop the bleeding first!

If the members of the Immortal Blade squad saw this flustered maid, they would definitely be stunned. When had their mature Vice-Captain ever been like this? She anxiously supported Shen Gonglin's shoulders, making him lie down on the ground. Looking at the bloodstain on his tender white skin, she became anxious. She didn't have anything convenient at hand. Would he be angry if she used Shen Gonglin's jacket... Right, didn't she have something suitable on her?

Rita looked down at her skirt. The black and white maid pleated skirt looked very suitable for bandaging. She unhesitatingly grabbed the hem of her skirt. With a tearing sound of fabric, the originally neat and expensive maid skirt was immediately torn open. However, the maid's attention was not on the skirt at all. She carefully used the cloth in her hand to bandage Shen Gonglin's wound. Fortunately, she treated it in time, otherwise the wound would have almost healed... No, whether it healed or not, it was her problem. What should she do next?

Looking down at the unconscious Shen Gonglin, Rita's delicate little face was full of distress. Although she regretted it very, very much, it had already happened. Unless Shen Gonglin had amnesia, the first impression just now was impossible to change. Rita raised her hand and looked at it. She didn't know if a chop to his head would make Shen Gonglin have a little amnesia... Also.

Would he be scared of her?

Was her expression scary just now?

Rita began to recall her appearance just now. When she usually hunted Honkai Beasts, she seemed to have that kind of expression. Alvit also said that she was very aloof when fighting. According to the information she had obtained, the Angel His Highness should not like that kind of feeling. What was her expression like at that time? Rita saw Shen Gonglin's vigilance before he fainted. She had to find a way to change this first impression.

Kneeling on the ruins, Rita made Shen Gonglin lie down properly and then rested his head on her lap. This way, when he woke up and saw her giving him a lap pillow, it might slightly compensate for her mistake. Really, perhaps she was a bit too reckless usually, to make such a mistake... She remembered that her expression was like this at that time, right?

There was no better way now. Rita subconsciously rubbed Shen Gonglin's head with both hands. This slight stimulation caused Shen Gonglin, who was in a light coma, to slowly open his eyes. The moment he opened his eyes, Shen Gonglin's gaze froze. In front of him, the maid was making various strange expressions as if she had a problem. Looking at such a comical scene, Shen Gonglin's expression was very complicated. This maid...

Was she really the fierce woman with the scythe he had just seen?

"Um... excuse me, may I ask... are you... having a problem here?"

Chapter 88: Don't Be Scared, I'm No Good Person

Visibly, the maid's pretty face turned red at an alarming rate in front of Shen Gonglin. Even her purplish-red eyes seemed to gain a layer of moisture. How could he... Why did this guy wake up at this moment!

The maid lost her composure. Suppressing the urge to strike Shen Gonglin's head with her hand, she quickly stood up. Rita had imagined many scenarios for meeting Shen Gonglin, and his angelic image was deeply etched in her mind. However, seeing Shen Gonglin in person now, she realized that things had not unfolded as she had envisioned. Not only had her perfect and elegant image been ruined, but she had also done something to Shen Gonglin, and now he was calling her crazy...

If only there was a time machine, Rita wished she could reload.

"It seems you have awakened. Greetings. I apologize for what happened earlier; it was merely a basic reflex of a maid. As this is our first meeting, please allow me to introduce myself..."

Calm down. The world's number one maid cannot be this flustered. Just ignore the embarrassing scene from earlier. The maid demeanor she had cultivated through training came into play. Although being a maid was merely Rita's hobby, she had pursued this profession perfectly, better than any other maid. Even though her heart was a tangled mess, Rita's outward appearance had already regained its composure. She would use her perfect maid demeanor to make Shen Gonglin forget her earlier loss of composure.

"I apologize... Oh, right, setting other things aside, can you fix your skirt? Honestly, with you like this, I don't know where to look. You're wearing white panties under black stockings. Are you the type of girl who looks alluring on the outside but is actually shy on the inside? Or is this just your preference? If that's the case, then never mind what I said."

Interrupting the maid's introduction, Shen Gonglin touched the ribbon around his neck and shifted his gaze to the maid, or more accurately, he stared at her skirt without even blinking. She said she didn't know where to look, but her body was honestly taking it all in. After all, her skirt was incredibly eye-catching. How did he not notice how alluring this maid was earlier?

However, even if she was giving Shen Gonglin a treat, he wouldn't let her off the hook. The stinging sensation on his neck constantly reminded him that this woman held grudges. Naturally, Shen Gonglin intended to retaliate against Rita for how she treated him. To be honest, the moment he woke up, Shen Gonglin had already started planning how to get back at Rita.

"My skirt... How rude. Please wait a moment, I'll be right with you."

It was only when Shen Gonglin mentioned it that Rita remembered the issue with her skirt. Earlier, in her haste to bandage Shen Gonglin's wound, she had directly torn a slit in her skirt. Standing in front of Shen Gonglin like this was undoubtedly giving him a treat. Hearing Shen Gonglin's comment, Rita felt like she was about to explode. Did she look alluring?

Yes, although she had modified her maid outfit to emphasize her bust, and even shortened her skirt by two inches, there was nothing wrong with that, right? But with Shen Gonglin saying that, Rita felt like there was indeed something wrong with her, as if a sharp sword had accurately pierced her chest. Could it be... was she really that kind of person?

"That's not the case. Also, constantly staring at a woman's undergarments is a very rude behavior. If possible, please avert your gaze slightly."

The more flustered she became, the worse she handled it. Perhaps Shen Gonglin's gaze was too intense, making Rita feel a bit embarrassed. She slightly turned her body to avoid Shen Gonglin's gaze. For this perfect maid to feel such emotions, Shen Gonglin could be proud. When she hadn't seen Shen Gonglin yet, Rita had been speculating about his personality. Seeing him now, Rita had thought Shen Gonglin would be a very soft, easily bullied, and shy type. But now, with Shen Gonglin acting like this... Honestly, since meeting Shen Gonglin, Rita had already wanted to hit him twice.

"Huh? You think I'm peeping at you? I'm doing it openly... No, I'm just anxious because you're fumbling around. It's just a simple tidying up, here, watch me."
