Chapter 357

Shen Gonglin was pleased with Li Sushang's reaction. It seemed she wasn't just a silly, screaming girl; she probably understood that the situation was just a misunderstanding. So, Shen Gonglin gradually released Li Sushang. At that moment, his other hand felt something strange. To restrain Li Sushang, Shen Gonglin had covered her mouth with one hand and pressed her waist with the other. Feeling something was off, Shen Gonglin instinctively looked down, only to see a snow-white, rounded vulva. Ah?... Is this something I can see right now?

"Junior Uncle, what are you looking at...?"

Seeing Shen Gonglin suddenly freeze in shock, Li Sushang was also very curious. So the sword fairy girl followed Shen Gonglin's gaze and looked down. Then she was also stunned. She almost forgot that she had come in to wash her underwear. Washing it here would dry it quickly. This was a convenience she understood in the modern world. So she took it off and threw it in the sink over there. Then she suddenly wanted to go to the toilet. As a result, Shen Gonglin suddenly barged in. In this situation, she should probably scream.

Perhaps because the impact was too great, Li Sushang's mind went completely blank. How could you expect an ignorant girl from hundreds of years ago to make any reasonable arrangements in this situation?

"Sushang, you're a big girl now... There are some things you should still wear, especially since you're wearing this kind of clothing. Although it might confuse the enemy in battle, as your senior uncle, I don't really want you to fight like this. You'll catch a cold. Be good, I'll go steal Durandal later. Hers are relatively normal. Rita's aren't suitable for you; all of hers are too tacky..."

Li Sushang gave up thinking, but Shen Gonglin was different. As the universally acknowledged warm man of the Hyperion, Shen Gonglin knew what to do in various situations. He gently put down the skirt he had lifted and carefully smoothed out the wrinkles on it. He was like an old father who had accidentally barged into the room of a teenage girl's self-pleasure.

This girl doesn't have any other relatives. Although she'll probably be against me, I should still consider our camaraderie.

That wicked Otto didn't even prepare underwear for Li Sushang. Look at this girl, she must be so cold.

"Stealing Durandal's underwear... Junior Uncle! What strange things are you saying! I don't need to wear other people's things, I have mine, I have mine! Look, I have mine!"

Her mind couldn't process such complex matters at once, but Li Sushang could still discern certain elements in Shen Gonglin's words. Why did her junior uncle speak of such things so casually? Did he do this often? And how did he know that Rita was so promiscuous? No, no, none of that mattered. Her sense of shame had inexplicably vanished. What Li Sushang wanted to prove as quickly as possible was that she wasn't that kind of innocent girl, and that there was a reason for her current state!

"Yes, I know. Sushang is a good girl. It was just an accident today. She just forgot to wear it."

Shen Gonglin smiled like an elder and patted the dog's head. At times like this, there was no need to be serious; this was the right way to be tolerant of Li Sushang. In front of Li Sushang, Shen Gonglin finally felt like an elder. Back in the Hyperion, everyone treated him like a mascot, but now... was it because he had become a bishop? Shen Gonglin felt very mature now!

"It wasn't an accident! I was clearly wearing... Look! I just wasn't wearing anything because of some accident. You better look carefully!"

Seeing Shen Gonglin's expression, Li Sushang knew he didn't believe her. This attitude only fueled her anger. The girl ran to the sink, took out a small piece of fabric that was lying around, and threw it in front of Shen Gonglin. This was the proof that she wasn't the kind of girl who was naturally promiscuous and revealing. She was clearly wearing clothes!

"Huh? You're wearing clothes, so why are you taking them off here... Sushang, did you wet your pants? Otherwise, why is this... wet?"

This time, it was Shen Gonglin's turn to look at her strangely. He spread out the small piece of fabric that Li Sushang had thrown in front of his chest, and in the plain white color, Shen Gonglin keenly noticed a patch of color that was different. How old was this child? Would this still happen? This must be an illness. For a girl, this kind of problem was indeed a bit embarrassing. However, Shen Gonglin was a doctor, and if there really was such a problem, he could help.

Why is it wet...? Li Sushang got hard, her fists hardened, why is it wet? Doesn't Junior Uncle know about this?

Chapter 41 Sound

The girl bit her lip, puffed out her cheeks, and glared at Shen Gonglin with her watery eyes, but didn't utter a word. Didn't he know why she had become like this? Wasn't it because this heartless guy had just attacked her so casually? Those slaps still hurt Li Sushang, and the key was that besides the pain, there was also... In short, this was something that couldn't be said!

Just thinking about it makes me ashamed. How could I have become like this? It's so embarrassing. That's why Li Sushang came here to destroy the evidence. Who knew that Shen Gonglin would find out about it? This is probably the most embarrassing thing in the world.

"Don't you have any idea why I've become like this, Junior Uncle?!"

After holding back for a long time, Li Sushang finally spoke up with a wronged expression. Those slaps had shattered the girl's dignity. If it were just being hit, she would have been a little embarrassed and it would have passed. After all, he was her martial uncle, and being beaten by him was not a shameful thing. But now she actually... actually wanted to be hit a few more times. That feeling just now was too wonderful, absolutely the most wonderful of all. But could she say such a thing?

Hmm, but if I misbehave, will my junior uncle personally discipline me? If so, then maybe... well, you know?

As expected of a genius swordswoman, she easily came up with things that ordinary people wouldn't think of.

"Um... then let's just say it was my fault. Su Sushang, you go ahead with your work, I'll head out now..."

Although she didn't know what she had done wrong, if Sushang said she was wrong, then she was wrong. The main reason was that Shen Gonglin was worried that if she continued talking, the girl might cry. Although she liked to tease girls, making a girl cry was not Shen Gonglin's intention. It was best to give her some private space now. It wouldn't be good for her to stay here any longer.

"Don't go! Junior Uncle, if you go out now and someone sees you, won't you be exposed!"

Seeing that Shen Gonglin was trying to run away, Li Sushang rushed over. For this sharp-eared girl, hearing the slightest noise outside was not difficult. There were still members of the Immortal Blade walking around outside from time to time. What if Shen Gonglin was exposed after going out? It was one thing to lose face in front of Shen Gonglin, but what if it happened in front of other people? Did he really want to die?

"Ah... right, what do we do now? And Sushang, what's wrong with you?"

Li Sushang's reminder made Shen Gonglin notice that people were indeed walking past the door from time to time, but the atmosphere was just too... awkward. Turning his gaze to Li Sushang, Shen Gonglin suddenly realized that the girl's current state seemed a bit strange. He saw that her two straight and slender legs under her skirt were almost twisted into a pretzel, and her face was covered with fine sweat. Shen Gonglin suddenly had a bad feeling.

"I... I need to go to the toilet... I've been wanting to go since just now!"

The sword-wielding girl spoke with great embarrassment, bending slightly to try and ease her pain. She had thought about it when she was being beaten by Shen Gonglin, but before she could even finish the task, Shen Gonglin rushed in. Boys and girls are inherently different, and in places like this where endurance is paramount, girls are far less capable than boys. So, the sword-wielding girl was now... on the verge of a breakdown.

"Then hurry up and go. Don't worry, I won't watch."

Seeing Li Sushang like this, even Shen Gonglin felt a little uncomfortable. He turned around with gentlemanly manners, thinking, "Let it be, I can't see anything anyway."

"But the sound..."

This is not something that Shen Gonglin can solve simply by turning around. Li Sushang said with great shame. Not only her vision, but also her hearing. Just thinking that her junior uncle would hear her voice... In such a small space, even if Shen Gonglin was deaf, Li Sushang felt that he could hear her.

"Oh... well... how about you just bear with it for now?"

This is indeed a problem. Shen Gonglin tentatively offered this suggestion. Forget about covering your ears. We're not ordinary people. Does covering your ears mean you can't hear anything? You can hear more clearly after eliminating background noise, right? So Shen Gonglin could only do this. Just bear with it a little longer. As long as no one is outside, everything can be resolved.

"That's why I'm doing this! Junior Uncle, think of something quickly... I, I can't hold it in any longer, or else... I'll pee on you!"

She was on the verge of collapse. Her image as a sword fairy had completely crumbled. She glared fiercely at Shen Gonglin. If it weren't for him, she wouldn't have encountered this situation. All the shameful things were because of him. If he didn't give her a solution, she would die with him!

Hiss... This woman, how come she has the potential to be a terrorist? Hearing Li Sushang say this, Shen Gonglin panicked a little. Seeing her eager eyes, Shen Gonglin knew that she was going to do it for real. This woman really could do such a thing. In order to prevent being covered in her mess, Shen Gonglin finally became anxious.

"Don't be impulsive. Don't worry, I have a plan. Come on, sit down first, so you don't spray water everywhere... I'm just kidding, Sushang. Sit down first, I'll turn on the tap, then you can relax, right?"

He helped the girl sit down on the toilet, knowing she wasn't wearing anything underneath. Shen Gonglin, being a gentleman, simply lifted her skirt slightly to help her sit down. The girl's face was so red and hot it was practically burning. She gave up thinking again and decided to listen to her junior uncle.

"...Okay, then turn it up a bit... No eavesdropping!"

The girl was almost in tears. She wanted to continue to endure it, but her body was telling her the truth about the situation. "Shen Gonglin's method is the best solution right now," the girl said worriedly. "What if this guy turns it on halfway and then suddenly turns it off when I'm halfway through too? As we all know, once some things are released, you can't stop them just because you want to. If that happens, I definitely won't be able to live in this wonderful world anymore."

Based on Li Sushang's understanding of this unscrupulous junior uncle, he is probably really capable of doing such a thing.

"Yes, yes, I understand."

Shen Gonglin nodded like a worm. Why would she need to eavesdrop at this distance? Did she not trust her ears or her own blood volume? But to give Li Sushang a sense of security, Shen Gonglin turned the tap on full blast. The rushing water further agitated Li Sushang. Damn it, this junior uncle was definitely doing it on purpose!

Chapter Forty-Two

Although Li Sushang was extremely unwilling, humans can never defy the laws of nature. As the saying goes, everyone has three urgent needs, even a sword immortal girl is no exception. This shows that even someone called a sword immortal is still just human. Li Sushang truly realized this. The sword immortal girl's mind went blank. Perhaps her current state was the legendary "Sword Heart Clarity"? She never expected to enter this state because of something like this... Heh...

It felt like I'd been standing my whole life, and now I was finally sitting down. I never imagined a person could feel this way. It was almost as bad as the feeling of being beaten up by my junior uncle earlier. But... I guess I don't need to live in this wonderful world anymore, right?

Having resolved her own issues, reason returned to Li Sushang's mind. Only then did she realize what she had just done—she had actually done such a thing in front of a boy. A blush crept onto the girl's cheeks, and a strong sense of shame made her feel an urge to die a heroic death. Li Sushang secretly glanced up at Shen Gonglin over there. He seemed to really not have heard... No, he definitely heard, but he was probably pretending not to hear. Junior Uncle, he really is such a gentle boy.

Unconsciously having this thought, Li Sushang secretly glanced at Shen Gonglin. She was sure he had heard it just now, but her junior uncle still acted as if nothing had happened. His mind seemed to be entirely focused on the faucet, as if there was something interesting in the sink. What could be interesting there? Her junior uncle was probably just trying to avoid making her feel awkward.

Feeling inexplicably moved, the sword fairy girl momentarily forgot who had caused the situation. But when she saw the small piece of cloth fluttering up and down in the sink, the string in her heart snapped again. What the hell is Shen Gonglin doing?

He's actually washing his own panties there! Who needs him to wash them?!

"Junior Uncle! What are you doing!"

The emotion she felt just moments before vanished instantly. Like a charging Honkai Beast, Li Sushang rushed over like a madwoman. She wondered what Shen Gonglin was so focused on doing. Who needed her help with something like this? The blush that hadn't yet faded from her face reappeared. How could he just touch a girl's intimate clothing like that?

"If you have nothing to do, find something to do... Sushang, are you done for? I remember girls have to wipe themselves down, you have to pay attention to hygiene."

Shen Gonglin didn't feel anything was wrong. As everyone knows, this guy's thought process isn't exactly normal. In his opinion, there's nothing wrong with this. Back in the Hyperion, the Class President often helped him wash his clothes, washing them from the inside out. So it's not wrong for him to help Li Sushang, right? Although Shen Gonglin's housework skills aren't perfect, washing such small clothes is no problem for him.

"Oh, I forgot... Wait a minute! Junior Uncle, why are you touching a girl's underwear so effortlessly?!"

How could she have forgotten about this? Li Sushang instinctively wanted to turn around, but then she realized why her junior uncle's reaction was so normal. Could it be that she was out of touch with the times? In her memory, the mainstream was that men and women should not touch each other. Her junior uncle's behavior of slapping girls' buttocks and personally rubbing girls' underwear... that would be punishable by being drowned in a pig cage!

"What girl? She's just a little girl. You call me 'Shishu' (a term of respect for a senior martial arts master), so of course I have to act like one."

Shen Gonglin stood with his hands on his hips, looking quite arrogant. He had always been the one being taken care of because of his age. The girls subconsciously treated Shen Gonglin with special favors. This time, however, Shen Gonglin had finally found a girl who was younger than him. Li Sushang looked to be about fifteen years old. Although she had a large chest, her age was a factor. In addition, the title of "Junior Uncle" gave Shen Gonglin a rare feeling.

Compared to girls, Li Sushang is more like a junior in Shen Gonglin's eyes. Now she's arguing about girls and such. Tsk tsk, Shen Gonglin doesn't care at all.

"What kind of junior uncle would help his junior nephew wash this kind of thing! Get away, junior uncle, you can't wash it clean at all, you've never actually done this kind of thing before!"

Li Sushang bumped into Shen Gonglin, almost letting him fool her. The girl snatched the small clothes from Shen Gonglin's hand. She found it strange that Shen Gonglin was rubbing her intimate clothing in his hands. She wondered if he even knew how to wash clothes. What did it mean to only rub that one part?

"Who said that? I often... I often watch other people wash their clothes. I think you only need to wash a specific area, and you can just scrub the rest of the clothes a little."

When playing with the Class President, she would often accidentally get clothes on her clothes, and then the Class President would blush and take her clothes to wash along with hers. Shen Gonglin observed this for a long time and was very dissatisfied with the efficiency. Shen Gonglin felt that her way was correct, unlike Li Sushang, who was all looks and no brains.

"What? That's not right at all. If it's washing clothes, then it should be washed thoroughly from all angles... Look at you, you've scrubbed them like this. I feel like I won't be able to wear them more than a few times. Junior Uncle, you have to make it up to me."

As a girl, Li Sushang felt that she had more authority than Shen Gonglin on this issue. She corrected Shen Gonglin's question, saying that he had basically used brute force when washing the fabric, which was no longer soft.

"I already told you I stole Durandal for you to wear... You say that's wrong, then tell me what the correct way is, teach me."

It seems she really did mess it up while washing it. Shen Gonglin humbly asked Li Sushang for advice. She thought that when she learned how to wash clothes for the Class President and Kiana, they would definitely praise her, right? Shen Gonglin had thought about just throwing them in the washing machine, but they all firmly opposed that. So, Shen Gonglin had no choice but to learn a new skill.

"Hmm... Alright then, Junior Uncle, you do it. Follow my instructions and rub slowly, then wait for the foam to spread before..."

Since Shen Gonglin was so eager to learn, Li Sushang hesitated for a moment before agreeing. Girls are bound to have vanity, and she could do so easily what her junior uncle couldn't do, so teaching him wouldn't hurt. So Li Sushang made way for Shen Gonglin and even provided him with the necessary props. Anyway, no one would see... so it didn't matter.

Chapter 43 Witnesses

"It still feels a little damp... Junior Uncle, did you really dry it properly for me?"

After a simple discussion of the four ways to wash clothes, Li Sushang finally put on the dried panties. The girl carefully adjusted the elastic band, feeling a little strange. She must have lost her mind. How could she have done such a thing with her junior uncle in the toilet? Luckily, no one saw her, otherwise her innocent reputation as a girl would probably be ruined.

"It's dried, I can guarantee that... I told you it was because you didn't wipe it."

Shen Gonglin leaned against the door, listening to the sounds outside while casually responding to Li Sushang. He had just learned a lot and would experiment on the Class President and Kiana when he got back. Li Sushang was quite useful, wasn't she?

"Nonsense! I clearly wiped it... Junior Uncle, there shouldn't be anyone outside, right?"

The girl quietly corrected Shen Gonglin's question, and then she also came to the door and together with Shen Gonglin carefully discerned the movements outside. Judging from the time, they should be arriving at their destination soon. Staying here any longer would definitely cause problems, so the two of them had to move quickly.

"I don't hear any noise outside... Let's go, once we're outside, we'll say that we never actually met."

Quietly opening the door, seeing the empty corridor Shen Gonglin finally felt relieved. Then, the two of them ran out of the bathroom like thieves. Shen Gonglin solemnly warned Li Sushang, while the sword fairy girl had a subtle expression on her face. Although she knew that this was indeed the right thing to do, the feeling she had now was... why did it feel like she and her junior uncle had done something shameful?

Although what the two of them just did was indeed a bit shameful.

"I know, it's all your fault, Junior Uncle... I'm leaving!"

Li Sushang waved to Shen Gonglin and ran away quickly. What had just happened had indeed had a big impact on the sword fairy girl. Being near Shen Gonglin would unconsciously remind her of how she had been beaten by her junior uncle and wanted to change her underwear, and then he found out... This kind of thing was really shameful, and she absolutely couldn't let another person know.

After watching Li Sushang leave, Shen Gonglin also changed direction and walked away. Not long after the two left, a sigh of relief came from around a corner. The two of them must have left.

Around the corner, Alvit, who had been holding her breath and trying to make herself as inconspicuous as possible, emerged with a complicated expression. She had only wanted to use the restroom, but she hadn't expected to witness something like this: Shen Gonglin and Li Sushang coming out of the restroom together... Alvit wasn't an ignorant girl; this situation was enough for her to conjure up a story in her mind, such as Shen Gonglin not being able to hold it in and asking Li Sushang for help, and then the two of them going to the restroom together...

Shen Gonglin really has some nerve. This is the Immortal Blade's warship, and more importantly, Lady Durandal and Rita are both here. He still dared to let Li Sushang do this... They haven't known each other for very long, have they? And Li Sushang even calls Shen Gonglin" Junior Uncle"... Ah, this circle is really messy.

It's a pity that it's Lady Durandal and Rita; the green light above their heads is undeniable. But the most crucial question is, why did I have to witness this? What should I do now? The two captains are my superiors, so reporting this to them is perfectly reasonable. But Shen Gonglin ... Shen Gonglin is a bishop now! Even if he weren't, what would happen if he found out I'd snitched on him...

Durandal is clearly giving herself away for nothing, Rita spoils Shen Gonglin to an unimaginable degree. They might have a minor disagreement, but they'll definitely make up afterwards, and I'll be the one who suffers. But if I pretend I don't know anything... I'll be the one who suffers in the future.

"So why did I have to see this?" Alvit sighed, looking up at the sky. "The workplace really isn't a place for ordinary people."

On the other side, after deliberately wandering around, Shen Gonglin finally returned to the lounge under the guidance of the road signs. Li Sushang had already returned before him. The sword fairy girl was staring out the window as if there was some beautiful scenery outside. This abnormal posture was quite eye-catching. However, Rita and Durandal were not really paying attention to her. After seeing Shen Gonglin return, the two Valkyrie walked to his side.

"Where did you go? We're about to land, and I looked everywhere for you but couldn't find you. I thought you might have gotten lost again."

Durandal walked over and stood in front of Shen Gonglin. She wasn't exaggerating; Shen Gonglin really might have gotten lost on the warship. Even now, Shen Gonglin still couldn't figure out how to navigate the Hyperion. She and Rita had already searched for her for a while, worried that Shen Gonglin might have locked herself in the cargo hold. But now that she was back, it was good that she was back.

"Lost? Durandal, I feel like you're dissing me. I'm not the same person I used to be. I'm much better now."

Shen Gonglin crossed his arms arrogantly. He always acted this way whenever he got something new. Now that he had received guidance from Li Sushang, he couldn't wait to wash something to prove himself. Should he ask Durandal for some panties?

Let's forget it. With so many people around, Durandal would probably feel embarrassed.

"Yes, yes, you're amazing... Alvit? Where did you go? I couldn't find you anywhere."

Durandal rolled her eyes at Shen Gonglin, then noticed Alvit, who had just sneaked in. Why did this girl look so lost? As the captain, it was only right to care about her team members. What was wrong with her?

"Ah... ah? Durandal, I'm fine! I just went to the kitchen to check, and our food reserves are running low. We should go out and buy some more next time, like spinach, bok choy, romaine lettuce, garland chrysanthemum, and the like..."

Alvit, lost in thought, was awakened. The Valkyrie looked conflicted. After much deliberation, she uttered these words, hoping that the two of them could understand her hint. This was the limit of what she could do. Durandal was rather dull and might not understand, but Miss Rita might.

Chapter Forty-Four Hints

Kitchen supplies? We just went shopping a few days ago, why would Alvit suddenly say something like that? And these dishes...

"I remember there should be plenty of vegetables, but the team members don't really like spinach, right? Why did you suddenly bring up spinach, Alvit? Do you like it? Have you changed your taste?"

Rita usually handles these kinds of things. As the vice-captain, managing the daily lives of all the team members is also part of her job. None of the members of the Immortal Blade really like spinach, finding its sweetness strange. So why did Alvit suddenly say that? Is there some special meaning behind it? Thinking about the dish Alvit just mentioned, Rita pondered for a moment.

"No, it's just that I feel that you two, the vice-captain and the captain, should eat more of that. It's good for your health, so you can get used to dealing with all kinds of situations in the future."

The hints had reached their limit. In Alvit's opinion, the two captains were practically glowing green with envy. They should get used to this kind of thing sooner rather than later. After all, Shen Gonglin was someone who didn't even intend to let her junior apprentice go, and there were so many people on the Hyperion, several from Anti-Entropy, and the World Serpent... It always felt like the major powers in the world would unify under some inexplicable factor. After all, Shen Gonglin was already the Bishop of Schicksal.

Could this be considered a united effort by all of humanity to fight against the Honkai? From this perspective, Shen Gonglin is truly remarkable. This is a feat that even the previous bishop failed to accomplish, yet Shen Gonglin has achieved it in this way. She's really amazing.

"Indeed, you can't be picky about food. Every kind of food has its purpose... I don't pick and choose my food."

Durandal suddenly blurted out a sentence, and at the end she deliberately glanced at Shen Gonglin. This behavior made Alvit's lips twitch. Captain, you've messed up. What do you mean by saying you're not picky about food? Do you want Shen Gonglin to praise your good habit? Even not being picky about food is being shown off to others. This Captain... is really clumsy.

"Really? But there are some dishes I just can't eat, like anything spicy."

"I'm just saying this casually, "Shen Gonglin said, his gaze wandering aimlessly around the lounge. He accidentally met Li Sushang's eyes. After seeing Shen Gonglin looking at her, the girl bared her teeth at him fiercely, then turned away blushing. "Junior Uncle doesn't like spicy food, huh? I've learned something new... Wait, why am I remembering this?"

Whether he eats spicy food or not has absolutely nothing to do with me.

"Don't worry, Lady Rin. Everyone has their own preferences. It's perfectly normal that you don't like spicy food. Rita will remember this. There won't be any accidents."
