Ling Feng had already given up on mocking this Queen. He silently scooped up a piece of meat and fed it into her mouth, saying, "Stop calling me 'human' all the time. I have a name—Ling Feng!"

"I... I am the Queen!"

The Queen had wanted to state her own name as well, but she realized that she did not have one. She could only give the answer "Queen," and her gaze dimmed slightly...

"Queen..."

Ling Feng noticed the issue too. A name... Although he had always called her the Queen, and she had always called herself the Queen, she was merely a fusion of Sirin and Kiana's consciousnesses. So... she did not truly have a name...

"Queen, how about I give you a name?"

Ling Feng asked tentatively, wanting to name the Queen. Though he thought calling her Queen was not bad either...

"Hmph, boring!"

The Queen looked disdainful as she ate the chicken nugget Ling Feng fed her. "A name is just a form of address. I am the Honkai Queen. Humans only need to know that name!"

"Then... let me think. What would sound nice..."

Ling Feng ignored the Queen outright and began thinking of a name for her. The Queen did not say anything either, patiently waiting...

"Got it!"

A wicked smile appeared on Ling Feng's lips. "Queen, how about I call you Consort Ai from now on? Ai as in Aike, and Fei as in Feifei!"

"Who are Aike and Feifei?"

The Queen clearly did not know...

"Well, anyway, it's written like this!"

Ling Feng took out his phone, projected a holographic display, and used his finger to write the two characters "Aifei"...

"Mm..."

The Queen hesitated. Though she did not agree, she did not refuse either...

"Then I'll call you Consort Ai from now on, all right?"

Ling Feng held back his laughter as he asked for the Queen's opinion...

"Hmph. A name is only a form of address. Call me whatever you want."

The Queen turned her head away, agreeing to the title Consort Ai in her own unique way...

"Hahaha... Consort Ai!"

Ling Feng finally could not hold back his laughter. Consort Ai... Consort Ai! Though he felt a little guilty about teasing a Queen with so little worldly knowledge, being able to call the Queen Consort Ai was truly hilarious...

"Human, why are you so happy?"

Seeing Ling Feng laugh so happily, the Queen frowned, feeling that something was not right...

"N-Nothing..."

Ling Feng quickly stopped laughing, then scooped up another piece of meat and held it to the Queen's mouth. "Dinner isn't over yet. Come on, Consort Ai, open up!"

"Ah..."

Though the Queen still felt that something was off, she could deal with that later. Dinner came first. She had to admit, human cooking was quite delicious. Mm, so good!

Under Ling Feng's feeding, the Queen quickly finished her second serving of dinner as well. She then drank the remaining egg drop soup in one gulp, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled...

"Phew..."

The Queen rubbed her stomach. Not bad, about eighty percent full!

Ling Feng gathered the leftover dishes, preparing to return the tray to the academy cafeteria later. Not having to wash dishes himself was the best...

"Hu... Ling Feng, are you leaving?"

Full and satisfied, the Queen returned to her arrogant demeanor, looking proudly at Ling Feng!

"Yeah, I have other things to do!"

Ling Feng was indeed getting ready to leave. Mei was still unconscious, and he wanted to check on her!

"Ling Feng, how about becoming my attendant?"

The Queen raised the question again. Her offer had been upgraded from servant to attendant. Though it was only one word apart, it felt like the rank had risen considerably and sounded much more prestigious!

"No. Get lost!"

Of course, no matter how prestigious it sounded, Ling Feng once again rejected her without hesitation...

"Hmph, you don't know what's good for you, foolish human!"

The Queen seemed slightly disappointed, but she still wore a disdainful expression. "Once I recover my power, you'll regret your choice today!"

Ling Feng silently picked up the cleaned tray and calmly said, "Fine. Then work hard. I'll wait for the day you recover your power... I'll be taking my leave now, Consort Ai!"

The Queen: "..." Why did she always feel the urge to bite this guy to death...

However, after Ling Feng left, the Queen lay boredly on the bed again. She could not destroy the world, there was nothing to eat, and even that human had left. So boring...

The bored Queen sat up with her bored body, picked up the bored remote, and turned on the bored television!

Perhaps because she possessed part of Kiana's consciousness, the Queen still knew some basic common sense about daily life. She would watch some television first. As a Queen whose goal was to destroy the world, she also needed to understand humans, and through television, she could learn about nearly all humans in the world!

Pressing the remote, the Queen turned on the television...

"Sis Wang, what should I do if I accidentally get pregnant?" "Go to Big Iron Rod Hospital and find Director Poke."

The Queen: "???" Channel change...

"Kidney deficiency is when, after excessive fatigue, you suffer from aching legs and lower back, mental exhaustion, as though your body has been hollowed out..."

The Queen: "..." Channel change...

"If men want healthy kidneys, they need to drink Shenbao... Shenbao, it tastes absolutely wonderful..."

The Queen: "..." "Boring humans. Why is everything an advertisement?"

The Queen changed the channel once again...

"Oxygen-Sucking Sheep, Itchy Waste Sheep, don't underestimate me just because I'm only a sheep. You cannot imagine the pain of itching..."

"Mm... This is not bad..."

After changing channels for ages, she finally found one that was not an advertisement. The Queen was not picky, so she would just make do with it...

"Mei?"

When Ling Feng returned to the apartment, he found that Mei was there as well...

"Mm!"

Mei nodded slightly and smiled. "Welcome back, Ling Feng. Thank you for protecting everyone, and for protecting Neon!"

"How are you feeling?"

Ling Feng directly ignored everything Mei said afterward. Right now, he only cared about her physical condition. Though Tesla had already said Mei was fine, no matter what Tesla said, he could not help worrying!

"I'm fine. I'm already all right!"

Mei nodded. "Bronya told me what happened. I never expected that Kiana's body would contain the consciousness of the Second Herrscher, and that a third consciousness would appear out of nowhere!"

"I never expected something like this to happen either!"

Ling Feng sighed helplessly. "But it's all right now. The Queen has been subdued. The only problem is... Kiana's body is still under the Queen's control!"

"It's all my fault..."

A bitter smile appeared on Mei's face. "If... if I had used the Herrscher's power, I wouldn't have absorbed Kiana's energy. Then Kiana's body wouldn't have been taken by the Queen. In the end... I'm still too weak. Without using the Herrscher's power, I can't protect anyone!"

"Mei, this isn't your fault..."

Ling Feng hurried over to Mei's side. How could he let his beloved feel sad at a time like this? He smiled and comforted her. "If we have to blame someone, then we should dump the blame on Anti-Entropy. If Anti-Entropy hadn't suddenly appeared and attacked us, things wouldn't have turned out like this!"

"But... Anti-Entropy came for me..."

Mei still looked upset. She closed her eyes slightly. "I... I... If I... if I could become stronger, I could protect everyone. I wouldn't need any Herrscher power. If... if I..."

"Sniff..."

As she spoke, Mei actually began to cry. A tear slipped from her eye...

"Mei..."

Ling Feng wanted to say something to comfort her, but...

At a time like this, perhaps nothing he said would help...

Ling Feng slowly moved closer to Mei, then pulled her into his arms. Their bodies pressed tightly together. At a time like this, silence might be the best companionship...

Ling Feng simply held her quietly, while Mei obediently leaned into his embrace. She still wanted to cry, but... but at that moment, she felt a sense of security...

Leaning close to Mei's ear, he softly said, "Mei..."

Then he gently blew into her ear...

"Ah?"

Mei's delicate body immediately trembled and went limp. Her face flushed red, but after Ling Feng blew on her ear, her melancholy mood instantly vanished...

At the same time... this feeling was truly reassuring...

"Ling Feng... I..."

Mei tilted her head back slightly and asked in a tiny voice, "Um... c-can... can I kiss... mmm..."

Before Mei could finish speaking, Ling Feng had already skillfully kissed her on the lips. It was not their first time, after all, and Ling Feng understood Mei's personality. If he did not take the initiative, who knew how long it would take for anything to progress...

After Rita's guidance, Ling Feng had basically understood a certain principle: do not overthink things. As long as both sides wanted it, just charge straight in. If both people had feelings for each other, everything would naturally develop from there!

Two people who understood each other did not need too many words to express themselves!

When Facing Mei, Just Charge Straight In!

Compared to Ling Feng, Mei's movements were exceptionally inexperienced. She was completely passive, but that was fine. Ling Feng did not want his girlfriend to be overly experienced during her first kiss. That would mean she was someone with a story...

Facing the inexperienced Mei, Ling Feng's movements were gentle as well. After practicing with Rita so many times and putting it into practice with the Queen so many times, coupled with the fact that Ling Feng was not a rookie to begin with, he quickly took the initiative. His tongue skillfully entered the forbidden territory he had visited once before...

Faced with Ling Feng's increasingly aggressive advances, Mei was somewhat at a loss. She did not know how she should react, and she even... wanted to push him away, because this was a little uncomfortable...

But Mei did not choose to do that. She did not want to...

Yet Ling Feng clearly had no intention of stopping while he was ahead. He had said it many times: once meat reached his mouth, he had to eat it clean, leaving not even the bones behind. Ling Feng directly launched a further assault, gently moving his right hand upward and carefully lifting Mei's clothes. He slipped his hand in from her lower abdomen and touched a familiar peak, but this time it was direct contact, so the sensation was even stronger...

He gently pinched the crucial point...

"Mmm..."

Mei immediately felt as if she had been electrocuted. Her whole body went numb, and she involuntarily let out a strange sound. Then...

"Zzt..."

"Fuck!"

Ling Feng jerked his right hand back and released Mei at the same time, because...

Ling Feng suddenly felt as if he had been electrocuted—not the romantic kind, but the literal kind...

"Ah... Ling Feng... y-you... what's wrong?"

Suddenly pushed away, Mei instantly panicked, afraid that she had done something wrong. But... she really did not know what she was supposed to do. She had clearly been cooperating the whole time...

"Uh... you..."

Ling Feng took half a step back and silently looked at Mei's body, not knowing how to explain it...

"Mm?"

Mei noticed Ling Feng's gaze too and hurriedly looked down at herself. Then...

"W-What is this?"

Mei discovered blue electric currents flowing across her body. There were not many of them, but they were definitely electric currents...
