Chapter 425

Mei said seriously, but Shen Gonglin still didn't let go of Mei's hand. The girl's heart skipped a beat, but she didn't want to give up so easily. She thought that if she was saved, there was still a chance to save her.

"Rin, stop being stubborn. We need to do what we have to do now."

Mei continued to try to persuade Shen Gonglin with "righteousness," but Shen Gonglin was such a wise contestant that Mei couldn't be easily fooled. Judging from her current appearance, Mei was genuinely a little flustered. But what could she do if she was flustered? Shen Gonglin still had to do what needed to be done.

"Yes, Mei, you're right. I should do what I'm supposed to do, like disciplining a disobedient child. That's something I should do, isn't it?"

Pulling Mei over, and looking into the girl's somewhat flustered eyes, Shen Gonglin said without any politeness, "She actually dared to go and seek out Chakravartin back, thinking I would let her off so easily? Although she escaped unscathed in the end, I can't let Mei get away with this kind of thing, otherwise she will definitely become even more outrageous in the future. Shen Gonglin is the best example of that."

"A disobedient child? Who? I've never met anyone like that before."

Mei continued to be stubborn, but Shen Gonglin reached out and twisted her gluteal muscle hard. The pain made the girl stand up straight immediately. Mei continued to try to be stubborn. Before doing this, Mei Shen Gonglin, but she still wanted to escape and struggle. Maybe it would work.

"Disobedient children, like that little girl with two horns on her head named Leidian, she is a good example of a disobedient child."

Shen Gonglin pulled Mei over. It was rare to see Mei in this state, and Shen Gonglin found it quite amusing. But being amusing was useless; she had to teach Mei a lesson.

"I think I can change my surname to Jingu right now. I'm serious. And look, I don't have any horns on my head."

Mei was very serious in reasoning with Mei Shen Gonglin. The two red horns on the girl's forehead disappeared. In the Herrscher of Thunder state, the two horns were manifested, but after exiting the Herrscher of Thunder state and entering power-saving mode, the two horns could be hidden. Therefore, the naughty child that Shen Gonglin was talking about was definitely not Mei.

"Mei, stop struggling, it's no use struggling, just lie still."

Shen Gonglin smiled at Mei, and that wicked smile made Mei realize that nothing she said would make a difference. The girl bit her lip and looked at Shen Gonglin, trying to use that look to make Shen Gonglin let her go, but how could the ever-wicked Shen Gonglin be swayed by such a look?

It's time to demonstrate the Jingu family's precepts.

"Wait, wait a minute, Rin, I know I was wrong... Can you please let me go? I'm not trying to escape punishment, I just shouldn't be here. Please, really not here... Are you even listening to me?"

Pressed down on her knees, Mei tried to awaken Shen Gonglin's conscience. This Elysian Realm was so dangerous, who knew if someone was watching? Did she have any dignity left? Aponia was still lying there!

"I'm listening, I'm listening... but I don't plan to look for another place. Aponia, don't worry, she's still unconscious. This is the best place for her execution... ugh, I mean, her disposal. Mei, just bear with it."

Pressing the girl onto her lap, Shen Gonglin raised her hand high and then slammed it down hard. The girl screamed, and Mei immediately bit her hand tightly. This was too embarrassing! Luckily, no one else saw, otherwise...

"Wait a minute, you just said execution... Ouch, that hurts, be gentle, be gentle..."

Since things had already come to this, Mei could only give up and act recklessly. The girl looked at Shen Gonglin with teary eyes. The Herrscher of Thunder was so dashing in front of others had become a kitten that could be bullied at will in front of Shen Gonglin. Oh well, this was the price she paid for her own recklessness.

"Go easy? Go easy, then what's the point of the execution? Just bear with it, and it's best not to scream, otherwise it won't be my problem if you summon the others."

Shen Gonglin continued to mercilessly enforce her family rules. Mei had really gone too far this time, daring to fight Chakravartin. Even Shen Gonglin had to take that guy's fighting power seriously. If something went wrong... Shen Gonglin didn't want to suffer the consequences at Mei's hands.

"I... I can't just hold it in... Hurry up!"

Biting her hand, Mei said with a flushed face, "So what if I got hit? I'm already in this state anyway, so I might as well just go all out. As long as no one sees it, Mei can actually accept it."

Chapter 86 Peeping at the Four

Shen Gonglin's punishment continued, and Mei gritted her teeth and endured it. What could she do? It was the family law of the Shingu clan, and as a member of the Shingu clan, she had to bear it. No one else received this treatment... Wait, what's with this strange little excitement I'm feeling right now? I shouldn't be excited. Am I out of my mind?

Since no one will see it, it doesn't matter if it breaks.

Mei thought so, but as the world goes by, the more you don't want something to happen, the more likely it is to happen. Mei thought no one was watching, but at that moment, right around that hidden corner, several pairs of eyes were secretly watching them.

"Wow, Raven, it really is just like you said, it's really good... I never thought that a girl as amazing as Mei would have such a day, I've really learned something new."

Hidden around the corner, Pardofelis watched in astonishment as the two were carrying out their family discipline. The girl's fluffy cat ears twitched with each pat from Shen Gonglin. The cat-like girl was filled with disbelief. Who would have thought that a girl like Mei would have such a moment? Where was the aura she had when she beat up Mobius? Could it be that Shen Gonglin was the most terrifying one?

"Heh, so you've finally met your match, you little guinea pig... Let me record this scene first... Hey, Elysia, what are you doing biting your handkerchief? It looks disgusting."

Several people lined up against the wall. Because of her height, Mobius was at the bottom, enthusiastically used the camera provided by Pardofelis to film all the precious footage. The news of the Elysian Realm had spread far and wide. She had been brutally beaten by Raiden Mei, and now it was finally time for her revenge. Just then, Mobius heard a strange sound. She looked up and saw Elysia above her biting a handkerchief, looking completely bewildered. What was wrong?

What's wrong with this pink-haired fat woman again?

"Seeing Mei get beaten up like that breaks my heart. I wish I were the one lying there... Don't get me wrong, I really feel sorry for Mei, not that I'm envious. I didn't expect Rin to be such a violent boy. I'll have to be careful when I'm with him, don't you think?"

Elysia bit her handkerchief, looking at Mei who was being beaten with great "heartache." If she could, she would wish to take Mei's place and suffer the beating herself. But in the current situation, there was no possibility that she had been taken advantage of by Shen Gonglin in the past. All sorts of emotions were entangled in Elysia's heart. Ugh... Elysia is having a hard time.

Heh, it's you who should be most worried about Shen Gonglin, right?

Raven, Pardofelis, and Mobius chuckled. This Elysia was really dreaming. Looking at her eager expression, she was really something else.

"What's with your reactions... Never mind, I want to take a closer look, okay? Mei's skin is so elastic, I bet it can even bounce..."

Elysia became more and more engrossed in watching, and she couldn't help but move forward a little more. This action caused Mobius at the bottom to protest. She was the one carrying the weight, so what was this pink fat woman doing here? Wasn't she afraid of being discovered and having no more fun?

"Don't move, it won't be safe if you go any further... Elysia, are you even listening to me... you idiot!"

Clearly, Mobius hadn't stopped Elysia. Guided by Elysia, who wanted front-row treatment, the four of them all crawled out from around the corner. How could such a loud noise not attract the attention of Shen Gonglin and Mei? The group stared at each other, dumbfounded. Then, Mei's face visibly flushed red. Realizing what had happened, the girl couldn't hold back anymore. The thought of everyone seeing that scene... Mei felt she'd have to move to a different planet.

But before that, let's silence these people first.

"Lightning, Submit to me!"

The girl who had been as soft as a kitten suddenly began to fight back, with red lightning raging. Seeing the girl in front of them, who seemed to have gone mad, the four peeping girls suddenly became a little scared. Raven and Mobius were the first to run away. The mercenary girl who had been watching the show and the Mobius girl who got what she wanted also ran away in a flash. Only the trembling cat girl and Elysia were left behind. Did they want to be killed by them if they didn't run away?

"Mei, calm down, calm down..."

Shen Gonglin quickly tried to comfort Mei, but his words only made things worse. Mei immediately turned around and glared fiercely at Shen Gonglin. Mei it weren't for his fault, she wouldn't be in this situation... But Mei's glare had no effect. Shen Gonglin glared back even fiercer. What? It's not right for him to punish her for her mistake? Has Mei not had enough beatings yet?

Ouch... that's scary!

Mei was so frightened by Shen Gonglin's gaze that she quickly turned her head away. She almost forgot that Shen Gonglin was enforcing family rules, and he was always right no matter where he went. Even if she wanted to take revenge, she couldn't do anything to Shen Gonglin. So, all of this... Since she couldn't bully Shen Gonglin, Mei could only target the two trembling girls.

"Have you thought of your last words?"

The Herrscher of Thunder coldly stared at the two Flame-Chasers before her. Today, Raiden Mei was going to kill someone, and no one could stop her!

"Ya, Mei... calm down. I just wanted to see what good things Sister Nia had on her. I heard she fainted, so I wanted to come and stock up. Her things are very valuable, whether it's accessories, earrings, necklaces, or anything like that. I didn't mean to peek at anything, really, I never did. This is a misunderstanding."

Startled, Pardofelis quickly clarified that she had never thought of such things; she was just a harmless Pardofelis, and she couldn't be killed.

It seems this girl was telling the truth. Knowing Pardofelis's personality, Mei felt embarrassed to punish her for spilling her thoughts so readily. It must have been an accident, after all, that's just the kind of person Pardofelis is. But what about Elysia? She must have come to watch the show. Just thinking about how everyone saw her just now... Mei felt she couldn't take it anymore. She had to kill someone.

Chapter 87 An Eye for an Eye

"And what about you, Elysia?"

The knife was pointed at Elysia, and Mei's words were full of coldness. If Elysia couldn't give a clear answer today, Mei was sure to make her bleed. Mei felt ashamed that someone else had seen what happened just now. Why did this kind of thing have to happen to her?

"Me? Me? I heard some strange noises here, so I came to check it out. I never expected to see something like that. Mei, as a cute girl, you were so adorable just now."

Eager to stir up trouble, Elysia wasn't afraid of anything like this. The Miss Pink Fairy looked at Mei with a smile in her eyes. She was right; Mei was indeed a very cute girl. No matter what happened to her, her cuteness was always so strong. Just thinking about how Mei looked earlier made Elysia feel so happy.

Okay, it seems Elysia really doesn't want to live anymore, so I'll grant her wish and kill her.

Holding the Key of Punishment, Mei silently walked towards Elysia. Seeing the Herrscher's humiliated and furious state of mind, Pardofelis quickly stepped forward and hugged Mei's leg. She couldn't just stand by and watch Mei kill Sister Elysia, could she? Although she didn't think she could kill Sister Elysia either, such a fight was not good for her business.

Sister Elysia, you shouldn't keep Mei at times like this. Can't you be as obedient and well-behaved as I am?

"Mei, calm down, calm down. None of us will tell anyone. We promise to keep what happened to ourselves, okay? We didn't see anything, we didn't see anything."

Pardofelis tried her best to persuade Mei, and Mei's wit finally returned. Killing Elysia was not realistic, and besides, Mei was not one to fight. If they pretended that nothing had happened, it would indeed be a good solution.

"Real..."

Mei looked at Pardofelis with some uncertainty, and just then, a loudspeaker sound came from outside the hall. Although it was a bit distorted, the voice was undoubtedly that of Mobius.

[Big news! The guinea pig named Raiden Mei is back! The Raiden Shen Gonglin who got spanked by Raiden Mei is back! Take a look, there's video proof!]

Mobius's cheerful voice rang out from the loudspeaker, and Mei's face turned pitch black again. The girl picked up her knife and walked out. The surging killing intent emanating from her made Elysia afraid to speak this time. Pardofelis looked at Mei's back with worry. Mobius... she really is the bravest one in the Elysian Realm.

They really do hold grudges.

"Mei- nee..."

"It's nothing, Pardofelis. I'm just going out to kill someone. I'll be right back."

After leaving those words, the girl walked out of the room. What happened next was anyone's guess.

"Phew... I feel much better after moving around. Elysia, why are you looking at me like that? This is the first time you've reacted like this when you see me."

A short while later, Mei walked back in, looking cheerful. The girl looked refreshed and energetic, a stark contrast to when she left. After noticing Elysia's gaze, Mei asked calmly why she was being looked at like that. It was quite surprising to see such a reaction from Elysia.

"It's nothing, it's just... Mei, I really didn't expect... you could actually get out of there by yourself. I've been waiting here, ready to rescue you from Chakravartin."

Knowing better than to bring up the previous topic, Elysia looked at Mei with some surprise. Mei's behavior was indeed astonishing. She managed to escape from Chakravartin's grasp on her own, which was truly amazing. Elysia had originally planned to take action herself at the last moment.

"... You knew all along?"

The fact that she could give such an explanation means she must have a clear understanding of my plans. Really, was my behavior that obvious?

"Of course! You had that look on your face when you left, so of course I had to find out what happened, Mei. I care about you far more than you can imagine, Mei. Does your butt still hurt? Do you need me to rub it for you?"

As she spoke, she went off-key again. Elysia looked worried and leaned closer, wanting to reach out her hand. Mei, however, took a step back with a dark expression, looking at Elysia with a face full of black lines. Why does this girl always want to touch her?

"Thank you, but no need. However, in my original plan... wait. Elysia, are you sure you can guarantee I won't die at Chakravartin's hands?"

Suddenly realizing this, Mei looked up at Elysia, who was ready to act at any moment, which meant...

"Of course, we've done this kind of thing many times before, haven't we? It's really troublesome. You must never provoke him like this again. Although Chakravartin is mostly docile, he's very straightforward when provoked, and he doesn't know how to be flexible."

Elysia spoke honestly, Mei's expression was very complicated. However, she still had doubts about the claim that Chakravartin was very docile. If someone like that could be called docile, then the judgment of docility in this Elysian Realm was truly astonishing.

"I see..."

Mei nodded. Knowing that even if Aponia didn't appear, Elysia would definitely step in to protect her, Mei suddenly thought about many things. No matter what the process was, the result would not change... Aponia, was she proving this to her?

In an instant, Mei's mind was in turmoil, and she no longer had the mind to talk to Elysia. She pulled Shen Gonglin away from the lounge. The girl still had many things to think about. She thought she had broken Aponia's prophecy in some way, but even if Aponia hadn't appeared, even if Shen Gonglin hadn't intervened, Elysia would have. That meant that no matter what, she wouldn't have died at Chakravartin's hands back then.

Before Aponia's prophecy arrives, will I never die no matter what? This seemingly inescapable fate is truly helpless, and this sense of powerlessness is indeed suffocating.

Sigh... Sometimes, I really don't know what to do.

Chapter 88 Recommending the Book

"Hey, Mei, I thought... you were going to die in the line of duty."

It seemed there was no danger anymore. Raven casually stepped out from the corner. She was a mercenary with a strong sense of revenge. Mei had said something similar to her before, and today she finally had the chance to return those words to Mei. Looking at her complicated expression, Raven felt secretly pleased. She had finally gotten her revenge.

Mei remained silent. This person was so petty. All she had done was say that she had died in the line of duty once before, and he had to retaliate. His pettiness was exactly the same as that of Shen Gonglin. He had grown up for nothing.

"Didn't you say that yourself? By the way, what happened to your previous decision? I didn't even have a chance to ask."

Shrugging, Raven asked. She had wanted to ask Mei when she returned from the depths of the Elysian Realm, but then she accidentally stumbled upon that juicy gossip. After digesting that gossip, Raven finally remembered her own business: how did Mei's challenge against Chakravartin go? Surely she didn't defeat him? Although Raven wanted to imagine it that way, the reality was probably that she couldn't. But she returned safely. Could it be that she didn't see Chakravartin?

At that time, the feeling was almost one of fighting to the death.

"I have fought against Chakravartin."

Mei confirmed Raven's thoughts, and the mercenary looked very surprised. Really? Mei wouldn't have... defeated him, would she? No wonder Sakura immediately pulled him into a corner when Chakravartin returned to the Elysian Realm. He had thought Chakravartin was always angry, but he didn't expect that when he was really angry, he was much more terrifying than usual.

So it was because he lost the battle with Mei? No, that shouldn't be the case. My guess should be right. Chakravartin shouldn't be able to beat Mei.

"However, Mei, I wanted to ask you before you set off: have you thought about what to do if you win? If you do, then you won't be able to prove your own conjecture about the Aponia prophecy."

After thinking it over, Mei decided it was impossible, but there's always a chance of something going wrong. Besides, Mei was very confident in her own abilities, so she might have actually considered the possibility of this happening. Raven couldn't help but feel curious about this. If she really defeated Chakravartin, things would become quite interesting.

"You're thinking too far ahead. At least for now... I'm definitely no match for him. But, like you said, I've had similar suspicions... If that's the case, then so be it. I think both you and I would have wanted to put our fists in his face long ago."

Mei shrugged. She wasn't the kind of person who would stubbornly deny it. With her current fighting strength, she was indeed no match for Chakravartin. At least, if it weren't for Aponia and Shen Gonglin appearing, she would probably have already died under Chakravartin's attack. The idea was good, Mei also wanted to punch Chakravartin in the face, but unfortunately, she just couldn't do it.

"Let go... that's quite a euphemism. So, how's the battle going?"

Mei Raven. That guy never seemed to speak politely. Every time they met, he looked like he was going to kill her. If she had the chance, Raven would like to see him get a good beating, but Mei didn't... What exactly happened in that battle? Raven didn't go there at the time, so she wanted to know now.

"He...is terrifying in terms of strength. The reason you can still see me is because someone intervened."

Mei Shen Gonglin on the shoulder. Although she had just been scolded by Shen Gonglin, Mei still had to admit that he was actually the one she could rely on to dare to do crazy things. If Shen Gonglin wasn't there, Mei would still feel uneasy.

So even though she was scolded, Mei couldn't bring herself to hate him. It was just a little trick between couples to increase intimacy, and it was just a little embarrassing if someone saw it.

"Stop him? It really was Shen Gonglin. Elysia went over too. Who got there first?"

Raven was quite impressed by Mei's betrayal. If Raven hadn't betrayed her, Mei might have really gotten herself into trouble. Raven had great faith in Shen Gonglin's fighting ability, but the fact that he could even withstand Chakravartin truly surprised Raven.

"... It's Aponia. I finally got her to show herself, but the situation hasn't changed. The prophecy still can't be verified. I still know very little about her."

The plan... can only be said to be half successful. It successfully brought Aponia to the scene, but Mei still can't be sure about her prophecy. According to her, even if she hadn't appeared, Elysia or Shen Gonglin could have prevented her from dying at the hands of Chakravartin. So it wasn't her who interfered with fate... Tsk, this is really a headache.

"So even if Elysia says that, you still doubt her ability to foresee the future."

It seems things have reached a stalemate once again. Raven shrugged. She could understand Mei's resistance to this so-called fate. After all, believing meant she was prepared to die at Aponia's hands, Mei could never accept such a thing.

"I have no other choice but to deny Aponia's prophecy... And there's one more thing... Raven, you should have noticed the strange feeling you had when you left Elysian Realm, that feeling of weightlessness, and the experience of fainting for a few seconds."

After hearing Mei's words, Raven nodded and admitted that she had such a feeling, and Shen Gonglin agreed. She would feel this way every time she came back, whether it was Elysia or Pardofelis, Shen Gonglin would feel like she was carsick.

"Me too, but none of this happened every time Aponia sent me away from the Deepest Place. It was as if in the blink of an eye I was back here from a fairly deep area... Neither the forced severing Klein performed on me nor the way Pardofelis sent us back here could do it."
