Chapter 356

She said a long string of things that Mei couldn't fully understand, but after accepting the mark, Mei felt like she had gained something. She temporarily kept the things she didn't understand in her heart. This fairy-like beauty seemed to have a bit of a talkative nature, but she didn't seem to have any hostility towards her.

"If I remember correctly, you said that the memories left behind by thirteen Flame-Chaser exist here. In that case, I can also witness the choices made by others, so you won't feel shy anymore."

Just like a straight woman, Mei said something that Elysia found hard to accept. The fairy girl puffed out her cheeks and glared at Mei, even though Mei had no idea why she was angry.

"Mei, is your way of comforting a girl to make her even more upset? Let me tell you, you'll never find a good boyfriend if you keep doing this."

Elysia's dissatisfied complaint made Mei pause slightly. Right, it seems that she's become less good at comforting people since becoming the Herrscher of Thunder. She wanted to say goodbye to Kiana properly, but in the end, she ended up beating her up. Her ability to comfort people has plummeted, while her ability to argue has skyrocketed. It seems to be the same when facing those Herrscher of Domination. However, the problem Elysia just mentioned is none of her concern.

"You don't need to worry about that. I already have a boyfriend, Shen Gonglin, you've met him."

The girl puffed out her chest with pride and self-satisfaction. As far as Mei, the idea that she couldn't find a good partner was just Elysia's useless barking at her as a single dog.

"... Mei, you really don't know how to coax girls. What you said earlier was right, just like I said. In order to point out the way to the end for those who come after us, my most important companions also left their mark on the Elysian Realm. Strictly speaking, our destinies once intersected, but you know, two intersecting straight lines will only go further and further apart. Ah, let's not talk about those unbearable past events anymore, Mei. I have high hopes for you. After all, you are more like a traveler looking down at a map than a traveler gazing into the distance."

Elysia encouraged Mei to move forward, saying that it would be better for her to see and experience things for herself than to hear about other people's experiences from her.

"Don't worry, everyone here is a lovely person. Just try to get along with them. It shouldn't be difficult for you, right?"

She gently nudged Mei's shoulder; many people were already eager to see her.

Chapter Thirty-Seven: It's No Use Panic

"The target is close and is expected to arrive at Kolosten, a suburb of Vienna, in about an hour. The bishop has already gone ahead, and the Far East Branch of the Anti-Entropy Salt Lake Base has also set off."

"Yes, the entire Immortal Blade is on standby at any time."

On the exclusive warship of the Immortal Blade, two S-rank Valkyrie were carrying out their daily work with serious expressions. Shen Gonglin sat to the side, behaving properly and even trembling slightly. Why do Durandal and Rita look so strange? They were fine just now, so why are they like this now... as if they're angry?

Why is she angry? Shen Gonglin doesn't understand.

"Sushang, what's wrong with those two? Is it normal for girls to have their period every month? Why did they both have it at the same time?"

Shen Gonglin Jingu asked the sword fairy girl sitting next to her in a low voice. She was the only normal person left on the entire Immortal Blade battleship. Everyone else seemed to be too intimidated by Durandal and Rita's aura to speak. Shen Gonglin was really not used to this cold environment.

"Don't ask me, I don't know anything... Junior Uncle, why doesn't Ancestor Chiyuan do anything about you?"

Li Sushang was quite normal at first, but after Shen Gonglin spoke, her expression became strange. The girl moved to the side and distanced herself from Shen Gonglin. She originally thought that her junior uncle had a special relationship with Durandal or Rita, but who knew that when they found him, he was lying with that Valkyrie named Anna. Then Durandal and Rita got angry.

Strictly speaking, Li Sushang was also very uncomfortable with this atmosphere. She felt that this was a completely undeserved disaster. She should have known better than to come with them. This atmosphere was just too oppressive.

Junior Uncle's current state is probably inseparable from the Ancestor Chiyuan; she really doesn't know how to mentor disciples.

"Chiyuan ... what does this have to do with the Class President? Sushang, why are you hiding? Come sit over here with me."

Not understanding Li Sushang's reaction, Shen Gonglin moved closer to her. The high altitude outside the window made him a little scared. At this time, he would definitely have to sit next to someone else. It seemed that Durandal and Rita were unwilling to come over. The only person he could rely on now was Sushang. Every time he flew, Shen Gonglin liked to sit by the window, but he was afraid of heights. This was probably what they called being bad at something but love to have fun.

"Oh."

Seeing that she couldn't avoid Shen Gonglin, Li Sushang had no choice but to sit with him. The atmosphere was really strange. These traitors were obviously preparing to betray the Ottoman, and she was definitely going to help the Ottoman to repay their debt of gratitude, but now they were all together... The sword fairy girl felt a headache coming on from this messy interpersonal relationship. Is this how modern people get along? It's really... hard to accept.

"... Shen Gonglin, the bishop has already gone to the old headquarters. Knowing his personality, he has definitely prepared a lot of things to welcome everyone from the Far East Branch. Be careful when you arrive."

Originally intending to give Shen Gonglin a hard time, Durandal ended up being the one who couldn't hold back in the end. After hesitating for a moment, she still came to Shen Gonglin's side. One can never let one's guard down when dealing with Otto. It seems that everything has been arranged, but no one can guarantee that this is not within Otto's expectations. In short, everything must be done with caution.

"Durandal is right. After we arrive, Durandal and I will likely be assigned our own tasks by the bishop. As for you... the bishop probably won't assign you any tasks. Rita knows that you, Lady Rin, will not be able to stay put, but please promise Rita that you will be careful in everything you do."

Seeing Durandal take the initiative to talk to Shen Gonglin, Rita, feeling betrayed, also came to Shen Gonglin's side. As a proper maid, it's okay to be angry, but it's not good to stay angry. They're about to arrive at Kolosten, and Rin doesn't know what Otto is planning to do. Shen Gonglin has to be careful.

Hey, hey, hey, weren't you two just angry? How come you can't help but talk to Junior Uncle now? Don't you know that this will give Junior Uncle bad habits? Li Sushang was very surprised to see the two Valkyrie approaching again. Can't they have any backbone? With their behavior, Li Sushang estimated that Junior Uncle would be raised to be a reckless person. They are spoiling him too much.

There's nothing they can do; if they don't spoil them, plenty of others will. It's become a vicious cycle, and Durandal and Rita can't help it. They just can't resist.

Unless everyone can unite to resist this behavior, but even if a unity is formed, there will definitely be scoundrels. Just thinking about abandoning everyone to go and raise favor is exciting. Ultimately, it comes down to a lack of trust. What if you firmly abide by the agreement but others do not?

So, one by one, they all ended up in this situation. Kiana and Bronya have personally verified how fragile the so-called Girls' Alliance is; there's nothing they can do about it. So, relying on their self-discipline is obviously impossible. There needs to be an absolutely impartial person to supervise them, and now that person is... Theresa? No, no, she's also one of the hidden competitors. If Theresa isn't up to the task...

What about Li Sushang?

With this in mind, Durandal and Rita both turned their attention to Li Sushang. This girl seemed quite suitable. Since she was now under the command of the bishop, it was impossible for her to have any connection with Shen Gonglin. Moreover, this girl believed in chivalry and would not do anything to abuse her power. Perhaps it would be feasible to have her serve as the supervisor.

"Junior Uncle... what's with those two looking at me like that? I feel a little scared."

Stared at by the two S-rank Valkyrie of Schicksal, Li Sushang suddenly tensed up. Even though she was also S-rank Valkyrie, she felt the same way. She had a feeling that the two of them were planning to scheme against her. This was not the peaceful and simple life she knew 500 years ago. Li Sushang trembled and hid behind Shen Gonglin. She was too scared.

"It's okay, Sushang, don't be afraid. If those two try to beat you up, I'll definitely help hold you down, so don't panic. Besides, panicking won't help anyway."

Shen Gonglin comforted Li Sushang, but the girl became more and more horrified as she listened. It seemed as if she was now alone and trapped in a wolf's den.

Chapter Thirty-Eight: Fratricide

"Junior Uncle, we are from the same sect!"

Li Sushang stared at Shen Gonglin in shock, her beautiful eyes wide open, as if she couldn't believe that Shen Gonglin would say such a thing. He actually thought of holding her down and letting others beat her up. How could he be so perverted? She had never seen such an outrageous junior uncle. As her junior uncle, shouldn't he pamper her?

"So what if we're from the same sect? Didn't your mother and the others treat the Class President just as badly back then? That's why it's our sect's tradition to kill each other. I can beat up the class Class President whenever I want, so why would I beat up someone like you?"

"I'm so arrogant," Shen Gonglin said. As if to prove his point, he grabbed Li Sushang's arm and pulled her over. He was angry when he talked about it. He wasn't there when those seven bastards ganged up on the Class President. Otherwise, how could the Class President have been so badly injured? Now that he didn't have a chance to teach them a lesson, he could only seek revenge on Li Sushang.

This wave is called "the daughter paying for the mother's debts"!

That sounds pretty erotic.

Accustomed to his usual reckless behavior, after pulling Li Sushang over, Shen Gonglin slapped the sword fairy girl's pert buttocks with a crisp sound. The sound startled everyone present. Durandal and Rita's eyes widened. They knew that Shen Gonglin was very reckless, but they didn't expect him to be so daring and bold. They were so envious... no, so sorry for Li Sushang.

"Junior Uncle!"

Li Sushang was also stunned. This girl had never encountered anything like this before, not even in her own manor. Let alone contact with the opposite sex, she didn't even have any female friends of the same age. Although she was quite close to Shen Gonglin, this level of contact was just too intimate.

Especially now, getting spanked in front of others... Doesn't this sword fairy girl have any dignity? Durandal and Rita are watching right here. Li Sushang feels her image as a genius sword fairy girl is collapsing suddenly, not to mention that so many members of the Immortal Blade are also watching.

Li Sushang had already thought about her future reputation.

[Li Sushang? S-rank Valkyrie? Oh, you mean the girl who got spanked on her knees by the new bishop? Tsk tsk tsk, I was there.]

"Yes, I'm here."

Ignoring the girl's roar, Shen Gonglin pressed down on Li Sushang's lower back to prevent her from moving. This girl had made it clear that she was no longer one of their teammates, so there was no need to give her any face. Who knew what trouble she would cause them when they arrived in Kolosten? So eliminating an unknown danger in advance was a good thing. Even if they couldn't completely eliminate her, they had to make it difficult for her to move around.

It's not because of its soft and bouncy feel. Shen Gonglin is doing this for combat purposes. He's always been this incredibly intelligent.

Not only the touch on her palm, but also the feeling of her knees and thighs being firmly pressed down, this sword fairy girl's figure is really quite good. It's probably even better than Mei's, right? She looks so young, but her figure is vaguely better than Rita's. Was she so well-nourished five hundred years ago?

As everyone knows, Shen Gonglin is someone who enjoys exploring history, so he is very interested in the questions surrounding Li Sushang.

"Junior Uncle, put me down quickly!"

With Shen Gonglin holding her on her lap, the sword-wielding girl felt extremely ashamed. However, this position made it very inconvenient to exert any force. The girl felt her face burning, and the place where Shen Gonglin had hit her earlier seemed a little strange. She didn't seem to hate this feeling... No, no! She must hate this feeling. Li Sushang was a very reserved girl. How could she admit to such a thing? She was only like this because she couldn't resist.

"I don't want to. You are the successor of the Supreme Freedom Gate, which is practically the successor of the Taixu Sword School Sect. I am your senior uncle, you are the S-rank Valkyrie of Schicksal, and I am the new bishop of Schicksal. No matter which identity you are in, you should listen to me. But you actually decided to cause trouble for me. Why should I keep such a traitor and a fool who betrays his master? I might as well just kill him."

Shen Gonglin would never admit that she was enjoying herself. She raised her hand high and slapped it down hard again, causing the girl's well-developed body to sway like waves. Rita and Durandal were both speechless at the sight, having never seen Shen Gonglin like this before.

So it turns out he not only doesn't resist, he can also be so proactive... Well done, Shen Gonglin!

Witnessing this scene unfold before them, neither of the two Valkyrie sensed anything amiss. The key was that Shen Gonglin's words were logical, well-founded, and presented openly and honestly. It truly resembled an elder disciplining a disobedient junior. If this were a private reprimand, the two Valkyries might have had some unpleasant thoughts, but now, in front of everyone...

Faced with a bratty kid, I bet many people would think the same way as these two, "Good job, Shen Gonglin!"

"Junior Uncle, I'm going to get angry if you keep doing this!"

The sword-wielding girl gritted her teeth and issued an ultimatum. Didn't she have any pride? Repaying kindness was her motto in the martial world, so helping the Ottoman was a given. And now, Shen Gonglin was reprimanding her like this? Didn't she know that even a cornered rabbit will bite? The key point is that Li Sushang is more than just a rabbit.

"Go ahead and get angry. I didn't stop you. It would be strange if you didn't get angry and even felt good about it."

Shen Gonglin was quite surprised by her reaction. Her purpose was to make Li Sushang angry. Otherwise, why would she teach her a lesson? If violence is not for killing, then it is meaningless. She wouldn't think that she was just playing around with her, would she?... Wait, why is this girl's gaze so strange?

"Feels good..." Upon hearing Shen Gonglin's words, Li Sushang's eyes instantly welled up with tears. Could this junior uncle have really seen something? Why hadn't she gotten off Shen Gonglin's lap after being hit so many times? Of course, there was a reason. Every time she was hit, she felt... Just thinking about this made Li Sushang's face burn. No, if she kept getting hit, her thoughts of betraying her master and ancestors would be brought out!

"I... I didn't feel any pleasure at all! Junior Uncle, just you wait, I'll definitely beat you to a pulp when I get the chance!"

Shame overwhelmed her, and Li Sushang stood up with all her might. The sword fairy girl glared fiercely at Shen Gonglin before running out of the cabin. Damn it, how exactly did her grandmaster educate her junior uncle? This method... could it be that she learned it from her grandmaster?

Chapter Thirty-Nine: Don't Shout

Tsk, what a misfortune for our sect.

Hearing Li Sushang's outrageous remarks, Shen Gonglin could only shake his head. It seemed that she hadn't been taught a lesson yet. How dare she say such things to him? He had finally caught a junior, and he would have to teach her a lesson in the future.

"Lord Rin... do you like this method?"

Shen Gonglin stared at his palms, slightly lost in thought. He wondered if it was just his imagination, but he felt a strange sensation in his fingers. Before he could investigate further, Rita's soft, weak voice rang in his ears. The maid looked thoughtfully at Li Sushang, who had run away. Rin Shen Gonglin seemed to be enjoying herself just now. As the best maid, Rita felt she needed to learn something.

"I like it? No, I'm just disciplining a disobedient junior disciple."

Shen Gonglin twirled his fingers and said with a serious expression, he would never admit that he was actually enjoying himself just now, otherwise what would happen to his noble and righteous image? He had no other intentions just now, he just wanted to teach the disobedient Li Sushang a lesson, let her dare to go against him, this is retribution!

"That Rin-sama... Rita, sometimes she's not very obedient, is she?"

Upon hearing this, the maid slowly approached Shen Gonglin and whispered these gentle words in her ear. The fragrance lingered, and Rita's words seemed to have a hidden meaning. What to do when you encounter a disobedient maid? Of course, you have to teach her a good lesson. She is supposed to be a personal maid, but she has never even done anything intimate. Where does that leave her dignity as a maid?

Understanding Rita's meaning, Shen Gonglin looked up in surprise, only to meet the maid's bright, rose-colored eyes. Shen Gonglin could be righteous and awe-inspiring when facing Li Sushang, after all, the sword fairy girl was actually a very innocent girl, Shen Gonglin could bully her at will. But in front of Rita... Shen Gonglin didn't dare to act recklessly.

After all, this maid is really... a real scoundrel.

Shen Gonglin swallowed hard. Before she knew it, the distance between Rita and herself had become dangerously close. Rita's long, straight legs under her pleated skirt were almost touching Shen Gonglin's body. Those legs, those black stockings, and she was wearing a maid outfit... Who could resist that?

"Then, then just be obedient..."

The imposing presence of Shen Gonglin, who had just reprimanded Li Sushang, was nowhere to be seen. When facing Rita, Shen Gonglin became as timid as a quail. The attitude Shen Gonglin displayed varied depending on the person he was dealing with. The more arrogant he was just now, the more cowardly he became.

"But if you want me to obey, then Rin-sama... Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!"

Rita wanted to continue teasing Shen Gonglin, but the intense pain on her head brought the somewhat excited maid back to reality. Behind her, Durandal stood expressionless, the female knight pressing her five fingers together on Rita's head. Did this girl think she was dead again? Just now, when Li Sushang and Shen Gonglin were like that Durandal could still convince herself with the excuse of being disciplined by her sect, but Rita was like this now.

Durandal felt like she even wanted to dance on her own grave.

"Rita, tone it down a bit. You're the vice-captain of the Immortal Blade, after all."

With a professional fake smile on her face, Durandal tightened her grip a little more. The skull is very sturdy, so it wouldn't matter if she used a little more force, right? It wasn't much, just about the same force she would use to crush the silicon-based shell of Honkai Beast. Was this maid being a little too arrogant?

"I apologize, Durandal. I was very rude just now."

The maid promptly backed down, after all, her life was in their hands now, and she hadn't noticed before, but now she realized that the members of the Immortal Blade were secretly watching her, so she really needed to restrain herself a bit.

However, Rita outwardly admitted defeat but inwardly Durandal's behavior the most. She doesn't dare do it herself, so she forbids me from doing it too. She's clearly just envious of me, only knowing how to exploit me with force. Just wait, the era of determining succession by force is over. When I rise to power... I'll have Durandal push me forward...

No, no, that kind of scene is too terrible. I'd better just rely on myself.

Heaven knows what unspeakable scene Rita was thinking. Looking at the maid's flushed face Durandal had no idea what was wrong with her. Was it because she had used too much force just now? Had she lost her mind?

Rita couldn't voice the "outrageous" image that had just crossed her mind, and she was also very confident in her physical abilities. She could handle things on her own and didn't need Durandal's help to push Shen Gonglin. It was better to do things by herself.

"Hmm... Are we almost there? I need to use the restroom first."

The atmosphere in the room felt a little awkward, mainly because Shen Gonglin couldn't quite put her finger on why. Rita glanced at her waist and then seemed to be thinking about something inexplicably. Feeling a bit uneasy under the maid's gaze, Shen Gonglin greeted them and ran out. She really couldn't stay there any longer; she was genuinely a little scared.

It felt like I could be eaten at any moment, which made me very panicked.

The Immortal Blade's exclusive warship is quite large. Although it's not as big as the Hyperion, it's still spacious enough. The place where everyone was just now is considered a rest area. After running out, Shen Gonglin ran straight to the bathroom. It's not an exaggeration to say that Shen Gonglin really needed to use the restroom. She had drunk a bit too much at Anna's place earlier and needed to take care of it quickly.

Although she has no sense of direction, Shen Gonglin managed to find the restroom. Because she was in a real hurry, Shen Gonglin open the door and rushed in. What she saw completely stunned her. Not only Shen Gonglin was stunned, but Li Sushang, who was half-sitting on the toilet, was also stunned. Who wouldn't be stunned to meet the wrong person in such an inappropriate situation?

I've already run to the toilet, is this junior uncle still not going to let me go?

At this moment, the titles of sword immortal, genius, and S-rank Valkyrie were all irrelevant. In her astonishment, Li Sushang made the most normal reaction of a young girl. The girl didn't even pull up her pants... no, she wasn't wearing pants to begin with, so it had nothing to do with pants. Li Sushang took a deep breath and prepared to shout out loud, scream. This was an essential skill for girls.

"Don't shout. You don't want others to know our current situation, do you?"

At the critical moment, Shen Gonglin rushed forward like lightning. If Li Sushang were to cry out at this time, where would he, as the new bishop, put his face?

Chapter Forty

He covered Li Sushang's mouth. Shen Gonglin reacted very quickly in this kind of situation. If Li Sushang had cried out here, he would probably have collapsed. Shen Gonglin firmly controlled Li Sushang, and at the same time, he immediately began to turn the tables.

"Be quiet. This is partly your fault. Why didn't you close the bathroom door? Aren't you afraid someone might suddenly walk in? It's only because it's me, but if it were someone else..."

As the junior uncle, Shen Gonglin felt it was her responsibility to advise Li Sushang on common sense about life. This was only because of her own position; if it were any other boy seeing Li Sushang in this situation, she would suffer greatly.

Damn it, you're the only one on the entire warship who needs to be guarded against!

Li Sushang's eyes widened. On the entire Immortal Blade warship, there was only one boy, Shen Gonglin. If someone else saw her, it would be a little embarrassing, but that wouldn't be a big deal. However, after being seen by Shen Gonglin, a strong sense of shame welled up in Li Sushang's heart. Could this junior uncle be doing this on purpose? He followed her as soon as she ran to the restroom... Could he have noticed her problem?

Thinking of this, Li Sushang's eyes flickered, and her excitement instantly cooled down. Her junior uncle was right about this. If others saw her in this state, she really wouldn't be able to stay in Schicksal anymore.

"I... I understand, Junior Uncle, let go right now!"

With great effort, Li Sushang pulled away the hand and mouth that Shen Gonglin was covering, and glared angrily at Shen Gonglin with wide eyes. The girl also lowered her voice at this time, as she did not want others to know about her current state with Shen Gonglin, because she still had to get married in the future!

"Hmm, I understand... Hmm? This feel..."
