Chapter 68
This person is really despicable. He has such a good-looking face, how come he doesn't have a brain?
Fu Hua was speechless. She looked at him for a long time with a gaze even more complicated than that of Shen Gonglin. In the end, she had misjudged him. The Class President's lips twitched. Shen Gonglin was indeed worthy of being called Shen Gonglin. This kind of unpredictability was unmatched. So, does that mean the fruit picked by one's own hands is the sweetest? Since Shen Gonglin said so, it seems that it wouldn't be right for her not to satisfy him.
"Speaking of which, did nothing happen this morning, Class President? Why did I come straight to the playground as soon as I woke up? It feels like something else happened. Also, who put this on me? The way the rope is tied is different from how I usually tie it."
Then she noticed something else. Shen Gonglin shook the knot on her clothes. It was clearly not her doing. And why did she have no memory of what happened that morning? It was not a good thing that she was so young and was suffering from amnesia.
"Nothing happened. Don't talk. You need to regulate your breathing while running. Now focus on running."
Having regained her composure, Fu Hua's expression returned to normal. Since even Shen Gonglin himself couldn't remember, there was even less reason for her to say it. To claim she'd lost her mind and gone to the bathroom with Shen Gonglin? That was something destined to be erased from history... Suddenly, she felt there were so many things about to be forgotten: her intruding into Shen Gonglin's bathroom, accidentally giving him her first kiss, him sucking her blood, giving him a lap pillow and letting him lie on her stomach...
The more I think about it, the worse it gets. I didn't realize that I and Shen Gonglin had so many secrets. But thinking about it carefully... it doesn't seem so bad?
"Oh... Class President, after we finish running, can I lie on you and rest for a while?"
Taking a deep breath, Shen Gonglin began to bargain with Fu Hua, but as expected, the Class President immediately shook her head and refused. Didn't this guy say he didn't need it just now? Why is he starting again now? I won't tolerate this kind of behavior from him!
"No."
"Then let's compromise. You can lie on your stomach for half an hour."
"... It still doesn't work."
"Then I'll compromise one more time, lie on your lap, is twenty minutes okay?"
"No..."
"If you say no, I'm not running anymore. Honestly, it's only because you're the Class President that I'm willing to do this. I wouldn't give anyone else the time of day. Lie on my lap for half an hour, do you agree or not?"
"Hey, it was only twenty minutes a moment ago, how did it become half an hour? Shen Gonglin, something's not right with you."
"The price has gone up. If you don't agree now, it'll be an hour. Think it over."
"Okay, okay, just half an hour. As long as you run these laps properly, I'll let you lie down for half an hour. Isn't that enough?"
"That's more like it... You also need to add massaging my head with your hands, otherwise I won't run away."
"...Okay."
After haggling along the way, Shen Gonglin and Fu Hua resumed their previous way of getting along. Fu Hua just liked this kind of interaction. She smiled helplessly and thought, "Oh well, let's leave it at that. Since Shen Gonglin likes it, that's all we can do."
And this guy is still worried about his health, that's a done deal!
Chapter 272
As the class Class President, Fu Hua certainly couldn't renege on her promise, and Shen Gonglin, with her personality of only being able to take advantage and not suffer losses, wouldn't allow her to renege either. After the run, Shen Gonglin made Fu Hua fulfill her duty, and the result was that she was now being criticized by Himeko at the classroom door. Shen Gonglin stood tall and looked completely unconcerned, while Fu Hua lowered her head and wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
It's so embarrassing to be criticized in front of so many people! Why doesn't Shen Gonglin care at all? This guy has such a thick skin!
"You two, it's one thing for Shen Gonglin to be late, but Fu Hua, how did you end up like this? This is only Shen Gonglin's second day of class, right? Fu Hua, you took Shen Gonglin out this morning, didn't you? As the Class President, how can you be late with other students? This isn't like you at all."
Dressed in a teacher's uniform, Murata Himeko tapped her forehead, looking helplessly at her good student. She was filled with regret upon learning that Shen Gonglin had also spent the night in St. Freya's dormitory the previous day. She couldn't believe she hadn't known! It was a huge embarrassment. She only realized Shen Gonglin had stayed there when she saw Mei and Kiana lying on the sofa while washing up that morning. She hadn't even seen her once before she disappeared – apparently, Fu Hua had taken her away. She couldn't afford to relax for a moment.
"...I'm sorry, Teacher Himeko, it's my fault."
Fu Hua remained silent for a moment before bowing his head and admitting his mistake. He couldn't shift the blame. Besides, Fu Hua wasn't one to shirk responsibility. Was he supposed to say in front of so many people that he was late because Shen Gonglin couldn't get an erection while lying on top of him? This guy, they clearly agreed on half an hour, but when the time came, he still refused to get up. Otherwise, with his precise time management, how could he possibly be late like this?
But... can't get it up? That sounds a bit... wrong, no, no, that's not it.
"Alright, don't do that again next time. Shen Gonglin, remember that time is a very important thing. Go inside and sit down."
Himeko waved her hand and let Shen Gonglin and Fu Hua into the classroom. As soon as Shen Gonglin entered, he sensed a strange atmosphere. With his keen senses, he immediately caught the source of the atmosphere. Without a doubt, it was caused by Kiana and Mei. What's wrong with these two girls? They usually sit together. Why are they so far apart today? Did they fight?
"Shen Gonglin, over here, over here."
Seeing Shen Gonglin enter, Kiana quickly stood up and waved to him, gesturing for him to sit over there. At the same time, a pair of purple eyes silently turned to Shen Gonglin. Although she didn't say anything, Mei's gaze clearly conveyed the same meaning. What's wrong with these two? Why do they seem to be arguing about something? They're usually as close as best friends, so why are they acting like this today?
It all started with a certain male confidant who caused all the trouble. The two of them had already begun sleeping in the same bed but dreaming different dreams last night. Both Mei and Kiana experienced it. Although it wasn't said outright, the two girls probably understood their feelings. Even if they didn't quite understand it yet, this instinctive reaction still showed in them. Their relationship was still as good as ever, but in some aspects, they still had to try a little harder.
What should be done in this situation? Of course, the middle is the best option. Isn't Bronya better? It feels like there's a problem no matter who you sit on right now. Shen Gonglin is used to courting death, but he doesn't like to seek it out. He has a unique sense of danger. Shen Gonglin walked straight to Bronya and sat down next to her. This was originally his seat. Shen Gonglin and Bronya are about the same height, so it's just right for them to sit together.
"Hey, I already let you sit here, how dare you... Shen Gonglin, you just wait!"
Kiana was quite unhappy and started yelling, but when she saw Himeko come in, she could only quiet down. This girl is getting less and less cute. She wanted to talk to him during class. What's so good about sitting next to Bronya? She certainly wouldn't whisper to Shen Gonglin during class. Wouldn't he get bored if they just had class?
Mei also withdrew her gaze. She wasn't entirely satisfied with the result, but she was quite happy that Kiana hadn't chosen Kiana's side. After all, she had been a step too slow. Kiana had already stood up and waved to Shen Gonglin Mei, and she was really afraid that Shen Gonglin would go over. Now it seemed... she had been worrying for nothing.
Given Shen Gonglin's emotional intelligence, I don't think I need to be too nervous around him.
"Hey, Bronya, what's wrong with Kiana and Mei today? I feel like there's something off about their vibes. Has Kiana finally gone too far and even Mei can't handle it anymore?"
Shen Gonglin quietly inquired about the state of the two girls behind her as she approached Bronya. It wasn't that they were hostile to each other, but it felt like they were competing with each other. It was hard to imagine that their relationship would turn out like this. Mei usually doted on Kiana, so why did she seem like that today?
"Bronya doesn't know the specific reason. When Mei and Kiana woke up this morning, they were in this state... Also, Shen Gonglin, you're too close. Bronya feels very uncomfortable."
The emotionless loli shook her head. She didn't really understand the current situation either, but the only thing she was sure of was that it was definitely Shen Gonglin's fault. This guy was never quiet in class. Whenever Teacher Himeko turned around, he would come over and bother her. This morning, Bronya wanted to talk to Shen Gonglin about the treatment, but when she woke up, she couldn't even see him. Was he that busy all day? He was with Kiana and the Class President. He was really a busy man.
"Isn't getting closer a sign of intimacy? Bronya, you're much better. Kiana and Mei were acting strange today, and even the Class President seemed a bit off. I've decided, I'm going to stay by your side today, Bronya. If anything happens, you have to remember to protect me."
Like an animal sensing danger, Shen Gonglin instinctively sought protection, Bronya was his best choice.
So this guy actually had feelings for Bronya? Everyone was fooled by him. He's just a lolicon!
Looking at the two figures standing side by side ahead, Kiana and Mei's eyes gleamed with the same light. The catalyst for their reconciliation was a common enemy.
"Um... Teacher Himeko only sent a few of you, right? Otherwise, I'd better go back. I feel like I shouldn't have come to such a confidential place. The Class President is waiting to run with me. I think I should go back."
On the corridor leading to the research department, Shen Gonglin cautiously observed the three girls beside him. He had thought he would be fine once the strange atmosphere of class was over, but he didn't expect them to still be bothered with him after class. What did Himeko have to do with him if she needed to talk to them? Why did they have to bring him along? Mei and Kiana were acting particularly strange right now, and Shen Gonglin could only find a little comfort by sticking close to Bronya.
"Shen Gonglin, I don't think there's anything wrong with you coming here. Teacher Himeko didn't specifically say that you couldn't be brought here. Moreover, as a member of St. Freya, you have the responsibility and obligation to familiarize yourself with everything in the academy as soon as possible, so this is perfectly reasonable."
Mei was clearly still angry. She didn't give Shen Gonglin a kind look and remained expressionless. It was all Shen Gonglin. She had slept on the sofa with him last night, but he had secretly gone to sleep in her room. Was his bed more important than her?
Is Shen Gonglin crazy? Although her bed is soft, her body, as a teenage girl, is obviously softer, right? After learning the truth, Mei felt a strange sense of defeat. It seemed like she had lost to her bed.
The little squabbles between girls come and go quickly. Mei and Kiana were a bit strange before, but after a day of classes, they were back to their usual close friends. They were already very, very good friends, and they never held grudges overnight. So now the two of them have set their sights on Shen Gonglin, who is the source of all evil!
"Yes, yes, Mei is right. What's there to be afraid of if we just came to take a look? Besides, this isn't entirely unrelated to you. Didn't you design my combat suit? Don't you want to see the results of your own design?"
Kiana chimed in, agreeing that it was always right to drag Shen Gonglin along no matter what. This girl now practically took Shen Gonglin with her even to the bathroom, feeling an inexplicable closeness to him. It was as if being by his side made Kiana happy. Kiana couldn't quite explain this feeling; it was as if another version of herself was forcing her to do this.
"Hmm... this is a good option, let's take a look."
Sensing no danger, Shen Gonglin gradually relaxed. Oh, so that's what it was about. Kiana and the others' battle suits were ready. Shen Gonglin thought it was worth going to see. Shen Gonglin was afraid of shopping with girls, but she could enjoy admiring them in their nice new clothes, especially Kiana. She had a great figure, and with the clothes she designed, her charm would definitely skyrocket.
"Bronya also wants Shen Gonglin to design clothes."
The emotionless loli turned to look at Shen Gonglin, her voice, devoid of any emotion, faithfully conveying the girl's request. "I should have known better than to design it so quickly. Otherwise, I could have asked Shen Gonglin to help me design it. Bronya's previous personal design elements were entirely based on military uniforms, and now they don't look cute at all."
Mei and Bronya shared the same sentiment: they had been careless this time. They hadn't expected Kiana to be so lucky as to have Shen Gonglin design her battle suit. This was no different from Shen Gonglin going shopping with her. A design by oneself is never as meaningful as one designed by Shen Gonglin. This could only be considered a victory for Kiana.
"Sure, Bronya, I'll design one for you too if I get the chance. I think you'd look much better with your hair down, and those legs are such a waste if you don't wear stockings. Considering your personality and appearance... um, white stockings, and then pair them with a motorcycle, that would be super cool!"
Shen Gonglin didn't think too much about it. Although this guy's brain was unreliable, he still had his own set of research on aesthetics. He had always had this plan. It was such a waste that Bronya's legs were always wrapped in armor. The girl's body proportions were also very good. After he healed her legs, he would definitely make her wear white stockings. Bronya was suitable for that cool style. Just thinking about it made Shen Gonglin feel very cool.
Kiana and Mei both have dual personalities, Shen Gonglin is a little hesitant to act arrogantly in front of them. But Bronya should be fine, right? Dual personalities aren't exactly common, and Bronya is a good girl, so she'll definitely be okay.
Motorbike girl? I'm quite surprised that Shen Gonglin likes this style. But maybe I should give it a try?
Bronya didn't speak, but a hint of light flickered in her gray eyes. This matter could be put on the agenda, and once her leg was healed, it could definitely become a reality.
"Shen Gonglin, don't teach Bronya bad habits. You and she are both minors. You can't even get a driver's license yet, so what are you talking about when you talk about motorcycles? Driving without a license is not a good thing."
As expected of a housekeeper, this was the first question Mei thought of. She quickly came over to remind Shen Gonglin and Bronya what they were thinking about. Motorcycles? Which of them is old enough? If they dared to drive on the road, they would be caught and disciplined in no time. In order to stop their unrealistic ideas, Mei felt that she needed to start from now on.
Drving license?
"I'm already an S-rank, and you're still talking to me about driver's licenses? No way!" Mei Shen Gonglin had never expected this. Watching Mei's serious lecture, Shen Gonglin's mind was wandering off somewhere else. A Schicksal S-rank fighter, if she got caught driving without a license in the future... it would seem a little embarrassing.
Never mind, there's a saying that goes, if you don't get caught, it's not a crime. I'll just be more careful in the future and I should be fine.
Judging from his expression, this guy didn't take her words to heart at all. She had to keep a close eye on him from now on. Mei could roughly tell what Jingu Shen Gonglin was thinking just by looking at his absent-minded look. Educating Shen Gonglin was no easy task. This matter was definitely a life lesson. Mei secretly made up her mind that she had to complete this life lesson.
Chapter 273 New Armament
"You've arrived."
Upon entering the research lab, Himeko was already waiting. Their combat armors were ready, and having them submit their personalized preference settings was simply to change the appearance of the armors. This was an easy task to complete. Supposedly, these were combat armors that only official Valkyrie could equip, but Kiana, Mei, and Bronya... who could consider them as real candidate Valkyrie? In this world, talent truly exists.
Yes, I've arrived.
With her inner urge to connect with others burning fiercely, Shen Gonglin stepped forward and looked at Himeko with a serious expression. Although she wasn't part of the group, it was still nice to come and see. It would be even better if she could see them changing clothes. Shen Gonglin had never hidden her identity as a pervert. If her life wasn't for lewd content, then it would be meaningless.
Before losing my memory, I must have been a warrior who fought for this cause my whole life. Can we not lose this traditional art?
"Shen Gonglin? You shouldn't have come. We've already given instructions that you don't need to be specially equipped with combat armor. You said you have the prototype of the 4th Generation God-Slaying Armor... Is that why you became an S-class?"
Unconsciously, Himeko connected with Shen Gonglin. She looked at Shen Gonglin with great curiosity. Kiana and the others were equipped with the third-generation general-purpose Valkyrie combat armor, but according to the higher-ups, Shen Gonglin had a fourth-generation prototype. Now that she thought about it, Himeko roughly understood that Shen Gonglin was promoted to S-rank because of his combat armor. Otherwise, how could he have risen so quickly with his terrible combat skills?
"But I still came... I don't know, I just fought with Durandal, that girl was really tough, and then the Class President came over and said I became an S-rank..."
The thought of this Shen Gonglin's heart ache again. She was still in debt. She had to pay back Rita's money, Durandal's money, and the medical expenses Anna had given her, plus her own S-rank allowance. Such a large sum of money had all been swindled away. What's worse, Shen Gonglin couldn't tell anyone because of her pride. If others knew that someone as smart as her could be swindled, her glorious image would be completely ruined.
"Wow, Himeko, these are our combat uniforms? They look so cool!"
Meanwhile, the sharp-eyed Kiana had already spotted the combat armor in the display case behind Himeko. The material looked very soft, yet it could enhance the wearer's strength. Such a combat suit could fully unleash one's abilities without being hindered in movement. No wonder it was designed by Shen Gonglin; Kiana fell in love with it at first sight.
"This isn't just for looks... Okay, personalized customization is to fully satisfy your aesthetic requirements. This armor is tailor-made with reference to your combat styles. It will need some minor adjustments after you put it on. You guys, go over there and change. Mei, help Bronya."
The three cabinets behind contain Kiana and the others' combat armor. Himeko's task was to have them put on these things, and now that they've arrived, it's time to hand them over. In addition, there's another order to announce: although they are only Valkyrie in training, their strength is already enough to form a squad.
"Bronya doesn't need help... Shen Gonglin, help me out."
Saying some contradictory things, Bronya came to Shen Gonglin and looked at him quietly. Because of her legs, it was a little difficult for Bronya to get dressed. In the past, Mei or Kiana would help her, but now it was different. Now that Shen Gonglin was here, Bronya didn't need anyone's help except Shen Gonglin.
"Oh... no need to lift your legs, you can do it with your hands this time. It's just a short-term ability to move, so you can do it with your hands."
Shen Gonglin knew exactly what Bronya meant. Seeing the girl sitting on the platform and gesturing towards him, he quickly explained that he did want to bite Bronya's legs, but there were so many people around, and Kiana and Mei had only just recovered somewhat. If he were to do that to Bronya in front of them... As I've said before, Shen Gonglin likes to court death, but he doesn't want to die.
He could feel the strange gazes from those around him now. Shen Gonglin was certain that if he dared to bite Bronya's legs in front of them, this matter would never end.
Starting directly on the legs is indeed the most effective, but starting from other places is also possible, it just might take a little more effort. Shen Gonglin gently took Bronya's hand, feeling a little embarrassed in front of so many people, but it was barely possible if it was just the wrist.
Approaching Bronya's arm, Shen Gonglin felt like a ruthless healing machine. His fangs pierced her skin, but unlike usual, he wasn't unrestrained. So, this time, Shen Gonglin's blood-sucking didn't cause Bronya any unbearable shock. However, the sensation that seemed to touch her soul still made the emotionless girl blush. The armor on her legs, which had been removed earlier, now unconsciously pressed together. So, he could do it from her wrists too. Shen Gonglin was definitely a bad guy; he just wanted to come from her legs!
"Bronya, you're really amazing."
Himeko and Mei were unaware of Shen Gonglin's ability, but Kiana had tried it. Looking at Bronya maintained an upright posture, she couldn't help but exclaim in amazement. It was indeed amazing. She had also been bitten by Shen Gonglin, and the intense stimulation still made her legs weak just thinking about it. But Bronya could sit there as if nothing had happened, only her cheeks turned red. It was truly incredible, far superior to her own abilities.
"Kiana, what is Shen Gonglin doing? Is this how he treats Bronya?"
Hearing Kiana's mutterings, Mei turned to her and asked, "I know that Shen Gonglin has a way to treat Bronya's physical problems, but I didn't expect it to be this kind of treatment. It has no scientific basis at all. It's like having some kind of master perform a blessing. If I hadn't seen the changes in Bronya with my own eyes, I would have thought that Mei Shen Gonglin just fooling an ignorant girl."
Chapter 274 Get one for me too!
Oh, didn't they know before? This feeling was something only I and Bronya had ever experienced?
Kiana looked at Mei and Himeko with some surprise. She thought everyone knew about Shen Gonglin's trait, but it seems that not everyone did. Bronya was given it to treat her illness, but Kiana herself had truly experienced that feeling.
"It's just... it feels really good to be bitten by Shen Gonglin. My whole body feels numb and tingly, like I'm soaking in warm water and getting a massage. Every cell in my body feels tingly and itchy. The specific feeling... um, I can't describe it, but it feels really good. And the key is that it can cure an illness and strengthen the body if you're not sick."
Kiana, resting her chin on her hand, described the feeling to Mei and Himeko. Unfortunately, the girl was too clumsy with words and couldn't quite explain what it felt like. In short, it was a particularly comfortable feeling. This was because Kiana hadn't experienced much, so it was really hard for her to describe the feeling clearly. It was like the feeling of finally lying down after standing all your life.
Shen Gonglin is such a panacea! Kiana even wants Shen Gonglin to bite her again now. That feeling is really addictive, and there are no terrible side effects. Who wouldn't love that? It's like a kitten encountering catnip.
This thing has this feature? How come I didn't know?!
Mei and Himeko looked at Shen Gonglin in surprise. At this moment, Shen Gonglin's temporary treatment of Bronya was coming to an end. The girl, her cheeks flushed, stood up with Shen Gonglin's support. Shen Gonglin frowned slightly. Perhaps it was indeed not as effective as treating her legs directly. Bronya could go running after drinking blood before, but now she could only barely stand up. The effect was somewhat unsatisfactory.
Actually, Bronya was just weak in the knees. Being Shen Gonglin and having her blood sucked in front of so many people was a strange feeling for Bronya. It was better to do this kind of thing when she was alone with Shen Gonglin. Otherwise, even a girl with no emotions would feel shy.
"Mei, and you idiot Kiana, let's go."
After resting for a while, and once the strange feeling in her body could be suppressed, Bronya turned and walked towards the fitting room. It seemed that she still had no resistance to this feeling. Shen Gonglin's move was a sure kill.
"Oh, wait a minute, and don't call me an idiot! People who call others idiots all the time are the idiots themselves!"
Eager to try on her new clothes, Kiana grabbed her battle suit and ran inside with Bronya, while Mei lagged slightly behind. She picked up her special red armor and slowly hung it behind her. As she passed by Shen Gonglin, the girl casually left a sentence behind.
"Kiana and Bronya have already tried it, so when are you going to let me try it too?"
The sound vanished in a flash, and Shen Gonglin, who was savoring the taste of blood, was suddenly startled. Why did that voice sound so familiar? It wasn't Mei's usual voice. It sounded like the one she had heard when she was pinned against the wall and kissed by Mei until she was depressed. Could Shen Gonglin Mei completely unprepared.
Shen Gonglin quickly turned around, but all she saw was Mei. You couldn't tell anything from her back, but Shen Gonglin felt a chill run down her spine. It's not the theft itself that's scary, it's the being eyeing someone! Normally, Mei is just a shy girl, and Shen Gonglin could handle her in that state, if not completely at ease. But if Mei were in that incredibly cool state from that day, Shen Gonglin would be completely helpless. She could take it all down! Would Shen Gonglin still dare to bite anyone now?
When I bit Kiana before, I accidentally bit out a Queen of the Void. If I did the same to Mei, who knows what would happen? It seems that biting Bronya is the safest option. Lolis are still safe after all. These girls turn into queens with a bite. That's too scary.
"Shen Gonglin, I heard that biting people can cure diseases, right? I've been having some back pain lately, so why don't you bite me too?"
Shen Gonglin was contemplating whether to seal her two sharp fangs when Himeko happened to come over. The red-haired Valkyrie looked at Shen Gonglin with a smile, her heart itching after hearing Kiana's words. Shen Gonglin actually had this effect; she had really struck gold.
