Chapter 466
Releasing her grip, Theresa placed her hands on Shen Gonglin's shoulders and looked down at his face. The headmaster still hadn't gotten off Shen Gonglin; in fact, to stabilize herself, Theresa wrapped Theresa legs around Shen Gonglin 'Shen Gonglin waist, clinging to him like a koala and beginning her interrogation.
This guy actually knows to come back? She thought he was having too much fun outside and didn't care about the Hyperion at all.
"Tsk, Theresa, the way you're saying that makes you sound like a complaining woman."
Leaning against the vending machine, Shen Gonglin didn't put Theresa down. Anyway, this legal loli was very light, and holding her felt like holding a large cat. It was just that Theresa's words made Shen Gonglin a little strange. Theresa had that kind of vibe. "You still know how to come back?" It was just like a resentful wife who was helpless because her husband was out having a good time all day.
A resentful woman? Theresa never expected to receive such a comment. Theresa clearly understood what Shen Gonglin meant, and now the headmistress couldn't take it anymore. The girl grinned and searched for a suitable place to bite on Shen Gonglin's head. This girl was too arrogant, actually calling herself a resentful woman. What kind of cute resentful woman was she?
"Don't bite, don't bite... Okay, Headmaster, I was wrong, I was wrong, okay?"
Startled by Theresa's menacing gaze, Shen Gonglin quickly begged for mercy. After all, Theresa was right there on her body, making it easy for her to take advantage. She figured she might as well appease the little girl. Honestly, she apologized to the Class President earlier, and now she's apologizing to Theresa. Did she come back just to apologize?
"Hmph, you were wrong all along, Shen Gonglin. You left without a word for so long. Do you not care about me, the headmistress, at all?"
Theresa snorted coldly, the little girl crossed her arms and looked at Shen Gonglin with a cold eye. She was only supported by her legs wrapped around Shen Gonglin. Her flexibility was indeed good. To prevent her from falling, Shen Gonglin could only reach out and hug Theresa from behind. Theresa was a little less angry after noticing his action. This guy does have some merit after all.
Chapter 224 Bitter Melon Juice
She was clearly a little angry. Looking at the slightly angry little face in front of her, Shen Gonglin easily understood that Theresa was sulking. As expected of an immature headmistress. For the mature Shen Gonglin, this kind of Theresa was the easiest to fool.
"No way, I've always kept you in my heart, Headmaster. You know, you were the first person I met when I came to the Salt Lake Base."
When she said this, Shen Gonglin didn't blush or skip a beat. After all, she met the Class President on the deck of the Hyperion, and the first person she met at the Salt Lake Base was indeed Theresa. So what she was doing wasn't exactly lying. Besides, can you really call coaxing a loli coaxing?
"Really? Then... then I forgive you, Shen Gonglin. I miss you so much."
See? Theresa is probably the easiest one to coax. As soon as she heard Shen Gonglin say that, she immediately beamed with joy. So he had always kept her in his heart all along. It was quite embarrassing. But Theresa felt that she should reciprocate his feelings. She also kept Shen Gonglin in her heart. This little girl wasn't tsundere; she expressed her feelings very honestly.
Anyway, there's nobody here right now, so there's no need to worry about it.
Theresa stretched out her arms and hugged Shen Gonglin, completely transforming into a koala like a kitten. Theresa even gently rubbed against Shen Gonglin felt nothing but a ticklish sensation. If it were Mei or Raven, she probably wouldn't have been able to hold back.
But when it came to Theresa, who was from an A-level scenic area, Shen Gonglin felt like she was hugging a clingy big cat.
"Yes, Dean, I've missed you too. My Vice-Bishop has worked hard these past few days."
If he wanted, Shen Gonglin could be a little sweet-talking. He tiptoed and pressed a few buttons on the vending machine to buy a bottle of bitter melon juice. Then he sat down on the chair next to Theresa with his arms around her. The two of them remained in the same position as before. Perhaps because they had been separated for a while, neither Shen Gonglin nor Theresa felt that there was anything wrong with their position.
Although the headmistress always acted like an elder, she still needed to give her some praise; some things only have an effect if you say them out loud.
"Hmph, I've been exhausted lately, not only because of the Schicksal matter, but also because of Anti-Entropy. Now the two organizations have reached a deep cooperation, and I have to handle all of these things. You, are you just planning to be a hands-off manager?"
It would have been better if she hadn't mentioned it, because once it was brought up, Theresa got angry. This guy was clearly the rightful bishop, wasn't he? So why did Theresa feel like she was the one doing all the work? If she hadn't entrusted the work at Schicksal to Durandal and Rita, Theresa doubted she would even have had time to drink a bitter melon juice. Taking the bitter melon juice from Shen Gonglin, Theresa proudly took a sip. This was really delicious.
"Thank you for your hard work. Leave the rest to me. Let me handle everything. It's time for me to exercise the rights of the Bishop of Schicksal."
Shen Gonglin said excitedly. He had been planning to use his bishop's authority to shorten the skirts of all the Valkyrie, and now the time had finally come to carry it out.
"... Ah, it's alright. Some things are a bit difficult for you to handle. Take it slow. Just start by trusting your subordinates to handle things."
Despite her complaints, Theresa felt a little uneasy when she thought about Shen Gonglin really taking over the power. The thought of handing over such a large and dangerous organization as Schicksal to Shen Gonglin to command made this legal loli scared. She knew how reckless Shen Gonglin was, and it was better to leave the command to her. It seemed that Shen Gonglin's only strength was diplomacy.
He continued to act as a close link between Schicksal and Anti-Entropy, and then he woke up. It was better for them to handle the important matters.
"Theresa... don't you trust my abilities?"
She still wanted to achieve great things, but her deputy showed such a futile attempt to sideline her. Shen Gonglin suspected that Theresa wanted to seize power. She had just complained that she wasn't doing any work, but as soon as she finally mustered up the energy, she wanted her to be a hands-off manager. Was this little girl blinded by power?
"No, no... I just think you're suited to do more important things. Leave these little things to me."
Theresa's eyes darted around. This guy's intuition is really accurate. Trusting Shen Gonglin's abilities? She only trusts Shen Gonglin's ability to cause trouble. She'll need Shen Gonglin when it comes to reshaping Schicksal in the future, but for now, she'd better handle the wartime coordination herself. Otherwise, what if this guy issues any decrees at will?
Given Durandal and Rita's attitude towards Shen Gonglin, they will most likely continue to carry it out resolutely.
"Yes, that makes sense. I am indeed suited to do more important things. Theresa, you're right."
It was easy to be fooled. Shen Gonglin nodded in agreement. Theresa also breathed a sigh of relief. Like Shen Gonglin, Theresa felt that Shen Gonglin was very easy to coax. After all, she was still a silly deer. Even if she had the power to change the world, the outcome was still in her own hands.
Theresa is the strongest.
She took another sip of bitter melon juice with relish, and the green liquid on Shen Gonglin lips reminded her of when she received the Class President's reward. As soon as the thought crossed her mind, Shen Gonglin wanted to slap herself. This was Theresa! Putting aside her status, just like this... Shouldn't she still prefer the mature older sister, Shen Gonglin?
How could he possibly have feelings for Theresa?
"Hmm? You want to drink it too? Then try it. It's good for your health. It's refreshing, delicious, and helps to cool you down. But Kiana and the others just don't like to drink it. It's really driving me crazy. You try it and I'll make them drink it obediently from now on."
Theresa had no idea what Shen Gonglin was thinking. She thought Shen Gonglin was just interested in the bitter melon juice in her hand. Compared to milk tea and the like, she preferred this. It was a pity that no one agreed with her preference. Now that she saw that Shen Gonglin seemed interested, Theresa got excited. If he liked it, maybe those silly girls would fall in love with it too.
Caught off guard, Shen Gonglin didn't dodge the straw Theresa offered to her lips, and the bitter green liquid rushed into her Shen Gonglin. Who the hell wants to drink this stuff?
Chapter 225
A bitter taste he had never experienced before spread through Shen Gonglin's mouth. This bitterness seemed to strike straight to his soul. Every organ in his body seemed to be resisting this taste. His brain had stopped thinking. His mouth tried its best to make his stomach swallow this thing, but his stomach strongly resisted and drew a line between itself and his mouth. From now on, you are you and I am me. I really don't know if Theresa is someone who likes this kind of thing so much. Shen Gonglin felt like vomiting.
Then he actually threw up.
"Hey, what happened... Ugh! Shen Gonglin, you threw up on me!"
So, in Theresa's eyes, Shen Gonglin's expression suddenly became idiotic. He opened his mouth wide, letting the bitter melon juice he had just been fed spill out, and it all ended up on Theresa's body. Because of the position, Theresa's white dress turned green in an instant. This kind of thing is unacceptable for a girl. What's going on? Does Shen Gonglin not like bitter melon juice?
It tastes so good!
"You, how did you come to like this smell... Sorry, let me wipe it off for you."
Shen Gonglin also felt that his behavior was a bit inappropriate. No matter what, vomiting all over a girl was nothing to brag about. He couldn't understand why Theresa liked that smell. Just that little bite reminded him of all the hardships he had endured. Shen Gonglin quickly grabbed a tissue and started wiping Theresa's face. It was a bit too rude of him.
"It tastes really good, you feel that way, Kiana and the others feel that way too... It just means that adult drinks are way too early for you."
Theresa was also a little puzzled. Of course, Shen Gonglin's reaction couldn't be because she liked it. Her preferences had once again been rejected. Theresa shook her head like a little adult. Their rejection only showed that they were still too young. They just couldn't accept drinks that were addictive for adults.
However, I doubt any adult would drink bitter melon juice. Although it has a similar taste to tea and coffee, bitter melon juice is still hard to accept.
What kind of adult drink is this? She got all worked up when I said she was fat.
Shen Gonglin rolled her eyes and continued what she was doing. At first, neither of them thought there was anything wrong with it, but as she wiped, Shen Gonglin realized that what she was doing seemed a little inappropriate.
The vomit just now was basically all over Theresa's chest. Shen Gonglin wiped it with a tissue and could easily feel a strange sensation. It was about the same as the Class President's. Although it felt okay, it seemed... a bit inappropriate.
"What's wrong? Keep wiping, it's not clean yet."
Theresa straightened her back and urged Shen Gonglin, "The stains on your clothes aren't clean yet, why did you stop? "Shen Gonglin, who had originally intended to be reserved, was no longer afraid after hearing what she said. After all, Theresa had asked him to help her clean the clothes, and he was just doing it out of a good intention, with a clear conscience.
"Oh."
Shen Gonglin took the tissue and started wiping again. This time, Theresa finally realized something was wrong. What was Shen Gonglin wiping? What was he wiping...? No, something's not right!
Realizing something, Theresa suddenly widened her eyes, and then her fair face turned red at an astonishing speed. After realizing it, Theresa felt that something was wrong with her whole body. No, this kind of thing was still unacceptable to Theresa.
"No, no need! I suddenly remembered I have something to do, I need to go!"
Realizing what was happening, Theresa quickly pushed away Shen Gonglin's hand. The girl's face was flushed and burning. After jumping off Shen Gonglin, she didn't dare to stay in front of him any longer. Theresa mumbled nonsense and tried to leave quickly. Despite her short stature and short legs, she was surprisingly fast. Shen Gonglin watched Theresa run away quickly. Just as she turned the corner, Theresa turned back and gave Shen Gonglin a message.
"Kiana should be in the training room right now. Go check on her there. I... I have to go now!"
After saying that, Theresa's small figure disappeared in an instant. Now she just wanted to run to her room and cover herself with the blanket. That guy, Shen Gonglin, he must have realized it too, but he... what a bad guy, doing this to her as soon as he got back. She couldn't let anyone else know.
Is Theresa shy? I really don't know what she's shy about. She's just flat-chested, what's there to be shy about? If it were Kiana or Durandal, I could understand if Shen Gonglin shy, but Theresa, what's the difference between her front and back?
Looking at her hands, Shen Gonglin felt a little guilty; there were indeed some differences. Now that Theresa had run off, it was impossible for Shen Gonglin to clarify anything further. She had just said Kiana was in the training room... It seemed she had no choice but to go find her now.
[Virtual battle begins]
In the training room, the white-haired girl stood proudly, her beautiful blue eyes filled with awe. The surrounding environment changed, and mechs and Honkai Beast appeared beside her. These powerful enemies, which she used to have to work hard to defeat, no longer posed much of a threat to her. In this training room, data could simulate all the powerful enemies Kiana had encountered, all of which she had experienced before.
But for Kiana now, these enemies are all her defeated foes!
Lifting the greatsword beside her, Kiana in her Flame form leaped forward like a firefly. Although she was called a firefly, this girl could unleash the most dazzling brilliance. She was no longer the person she used to be; the Kiana of today was someone who stood before everyone.
A flash of light, and Kiana instantly wiped out the enemies before her. These enemies could no longer provide Kiana with any improvement. The girl swung her greatsword. What enemy would come next? This training room made by Tesla could simulate all the enemies she had ever encountered, or even just any powerful being she had ever met. Who would be next? Kiana was ready.
Then, a blond man slowly appeared before Kiana. Kiana's eyes widened. How could it be him?
Chapter 226 I'm Going to Beat You to Death Today
Shen Gonglin was incredibly arrogant right now. After all, he hadn't asked anyone for help this time and had found the training room all by himself. This was something he was extremely proud of. He was even thinking about whether to use his bishop's authority to make today a memorial day. He was so proud of himself. At such a celebratory moment, Shen Gonglin couldn't wait for Kiana to praise him.
Being praised frequently is good for your health.
So Shen Gonglin approached Kiana. The girl looked like she had just finished training, but for some reason, the girl's eyes didn't show any surprise when she saw her. Instead, they seemed to be full of astonishment. Was she also shocked that she could find her all by herself?
Shen Gonglin smiled and shook her head. This was nothing; she still had many impressive skills to offer.
Kiana was indeed shocked. She hadn't expected that Tesla had actually developed such a system. Based on the data in the test subjects' brains, the opponent would also change. This time, it was obvious that the virtual Honkai Beast and mechs could no longer provide her with any improvement. This time, it was Shen Gonglin. Kiana had never fought Shen Gonglin before. After the initial shock, a feeling of eagerness rushed into Kiana's heart.
Speaking of fighting, this girl really wants to fight Shen Gonglin right now. After all, she craves worthy enemies, and Shen Gonglin is one of them. Of course, she can't fight Shen Gonglin to the death in reality, since she wouldn't want to. But since it's a virtual battle... then Miss Kiana is thinking of beating Shen Gonglin's brains out.
Why did he refuse my marriage proposal? Why is he still entangled with the Class President? I can't bear to beat up the real Shen Gonglin, so beating up this Shen Gonglin in the illusion shouldn't be a big deal, right?
Kiana got excited and, as Shen Gonglin raised his hand to greet her, the girl suddenly attacked Shen Gonglin. The Greatsword of the Burning Flames, wreathed in scorching flames, slashed down. Shen Gonglin's pupils contracted, and a greatsword instantly appeared in his hand, blocking Kiana's fierce attack. What was she doing?
Is this how Kaslana family greets people?
"Amazing! I never thought they could even simulate something like this. Dr. Tesla truly deserves to be called the best in the world."
Looking at the blue-glowing greatsword in the virtual Shen Gonglin's hand, Kiana was incredibly excited. As expected of Tesla, he had even simulated Shen Gonglin of Herrscher of Reason abilities. This gave Kiana even more motivation to keep fighting. Only by constantly challenging strong opponents could she improve. Durandal had set up many training programs for her, but Kiana felt that it would be better to just fight Shen Gonglin like this.
"What's wrong with you, you idiot?"
Shen Gonglin was completely bewildered. He was expecting Kiana to praise him, but instead, the girl cleaved him in two with a single sword strike without saying a word. This treatment made Shen Gonglin wonder if he had done something heinous that Kiana had found out about. But that shouldn't be the case. He hadn't done anything wrong recently. What was wrong with Kiana?
"Good heavens, even the tone is so similar, this is even more satisfying... Shen Gonglin, you heartless bastard! Today I'm going to chop you up properly!"
This feeling was exactly the same as the real Shen Gonglin. It was probably not a virtual personality created from the impressions of just one person, but rather a combination of the impressions of many people. Not only the abilities, but even the tone and expression of the voice were exactly the same. This gave Kiana a strong sense of immersion, and she could treat the Shen Gonglin in front of her as if she were really fighting. Kiana swung her sword with even more force, as she also needed to vent her anger.
Just like I said before, if I can't bear to hit the real Shen Gonglin, beating up the virtual Shen Gonglin is a pretty good thing. Kiana didn't feel there was anything wrong with her actions. After all, there's a study that says that couples have a few days each month when they want to kill each other, so her feelings were normal.
"Who the hell is the heartless man?! You idiot, are you still asleep?"
Having parried Kiana's sword, Shen Gonglin fell backward into the golden light circle. When he reappeared, he was already some distance away from Kiana. This girl must have something wrong with her head. A heartless man? How could he use such a word to describe himself? Everyone knows that he, Shen Gonglin, is the most affectionate man in the Shenzhou.
"Hey, I can do that too!"
Kiana was very familiar with Shen Gonglin's abilities. Just now it was Bronya's power, but now it's hers again. Kiana activated the power of the Herrscher of the Void and chased after her. She wielded her flaming greatsword and unleashed a series of New Year's greeting sword techniques. Although they might not be very sophisticated, they were the most satisfying way to vent her anger.
"...You idiot, you've made me angry!"
Kiana's aggressive behavior darkened Shen Gonglin's face. What to do when a child is disobedient? A good beating will do. Shen Gonglin was never one to swallow his anger. This time, he launched an attack. The Form Resonance of the Great Void Sword Qi contained swordsmanship, making it a comprehensive martial art. Coupled with Shen Gonglin's own 2B... YoRHa No. 2 Type B swordsmanship, he was determined to beat Kiana up today.
"Hey, don't think I'm afraid of you. I usually let you have your way, but you dared to bully me like that last time. I'm going to get my revenge for washing the sheets in the middle of the night!"
Kiana continued rambling, but this time Shen Gonglin was completely serious. You could tell from Kiana's state that she wouldn't be done until she beat Kiana to a pulp. Perfect, this was something Shen Gonglin was an expert at.
The difference was evident even though they both used physical techniques to fight. Although Kiana had also learned the Great Void Sword Qi, her true mastery lay in her God Resonance. As for the other essences, perhaps only Fu Hua could rival Shen Gonglin. After several exchanges, Kiana's greatsword was deflected by Shen Gonglin's attacks. Seizing this opening, Shen Gonglin lunged at Kiana and crashed into her arms. The girl's pupils constricted. Had she been careless after all? But this time it was certainly exhilarating. Next, she would probably have to face "death."
That's how virtual training works. If you don't defeat a strong opponent, you'll fail and be forced to quit the experiment. Kiana is prepared. She lost this time, but she's determined not to lose next time. She's going to beat Shen Gonglin to a pulp!
Chapter 227 Are you serious?
Kiana had actually anticipated her "defeat" long ago. She wasn't arrogant enough to think she could defeat Shen Gonglin, even in a virtual situation. Shen Gonglin was very strong, a fact Kiana was extremely proud of. Although Kiana hadn't admitted it to his face, it was an unspoken understanding. Not only herself, but also Schicksal... no, and Anti-Entropy, everyone thought so.
No matter what the situation, as long as Shen Gonglin is by her side, all difficulties can be easily resolved. Kiana also wants to become someone who can bring a sense of security to others, but it seems that she still has a long way to go.
"Alright, I lost. Kill me now."
Kiana gave up struggling and waited for her failure in this training challenge. However, she wouldn't lose so easily next time. Looking at the girl's "sacrificial" appearance, Shen Gonglin was at a loss. When did they become like this, where they were both determined to win and lose? This shouldn't be the case. Or was Kiana trying to fool her into letting her go?
That must be it.
"Killing you wouldn't be the answer, but I'll make you suffer worse than death. You're probably prepared for this, since you dare to do this to me."
Did she think he could let her off the hook like this? Kiana was too naive and foolish. Shen Gonglin shook his head, then pushed Kiana's shoulder. The unsuspecting girl fell backward onto the soft mat in the training room. Shen Gonglin then unceremoniously sat on her waist. "If you don't discipline her for three days, she'll be climbing on the roof and causing trouble." He had only been gone for a short time, and Kiana dared to be so arrogant. It was time to remind her of the fear of being dominated by Shen Gonglin.
"Huh? No, that's not right... It shouldn't be like this..."
Kiana was now confused. Things shouldn't be like this. Shouldn't she be finished off by Shen Gonglin and return to reality to eat? How did things turn out like this? How did her virtual opponent end up sitting on her stomach? This personality simulation has reached this level. Tesla truly lives up to his reputation as Second-hand Scientist.
They really can do anything.
"Shouldn't be? Why didn't you say that when you were chasing me and trying to slash me? Let me tell you, you're finished. No one can save you today, I'm telling you!"
He was a petty and vengeful man. Looking at Kiana lying on the cushion, he was filled with malice. Shen Gonglin grabbed Kiana's chest and began to threaten her. The sensation was so different from what Kiana 'Shen Gonglin beautiful blue eyes widened in surprise. Something was wrong. There were simulated injuries during training, but this feeling... was not right.
This... this can't be... this isn't training, can it?
Sometimes she seems very clever, but deep down in this girl's heart, there is still that single-celled Kiana side, something that Shen Gonglin has tried so hard to preserve. And now, this Kiana seems to finally be beginning to realize what the truth is.
"You, you are... Shen Gonglin?"
