Hikari: "Something's Fishy!"

"Ah... I'm sorry, Captain, I was daydreaming..."

Upon hearing this, Wuse Huohuo looked down and saw that Wendy had indeed been pushed and was lying sideways in the wheelchair. He blushed and quickly straightened her up.

"You..."

Gwen glanced at the girl, who was clearly overthinking things, and shook his head with a smile. Without saying anything more, he continued his examination.

The Gem of Desire now exists in a special state within Wendy's legs, without its original form.

Therefore, even Gwen needed to examine him carefully to determine his condition.

After a while, Gwen stopped when Wuse Huohuo's face returned to normal, her little face still flushed with a suggestive Wendy as she felt the warm touch coming from her legs.

After a moment's thought, Gwen finally raised his head under the concerned gazes of the two girls—

"Wendy, I've roughly confirmed the current state of the Gem of Desire."

There are generally two ways to get you under control—

One option is to try direct activation, which would allow you to control the powers and abilities within, but the success rate might be somewhat low.

The alternative is to forcibly create a Herrscher Persona within you, which will then activate the Gem of Desire and transform it into a true Herrscher Core.

Then, we will replicate Anna and the others' previous situation, defeat them, and let you, the original owner of this body, take over the core's authority and power.

"Okay, I understand. Is there anything I can do?"

"Feel the power within carefully, do not resist it—"

The Gem of Desire is already within you. Even tenants have to pay rent, let alone someone who has taken your legs. It should naturally be at your disposal.

A barely perceptible blackish-red light emanated from the contact between his fingers and Wendy's legs. Gwen, using a bit of mental suggestion, spoke slowly.

"Um..."

Upon hearing this, Wendy nodded vigorously, the blush on her face not yet completely faded, but a resolute look had already appeared on her face that Gwen had once seen before—

"Valkyrie Wendy, mission accomplished!"

"Let's begin then..."

Gwen nodded, but his gaze fell upon the Wuse Huohuo beside him—

"Hui Huo, after all, this involves an experiment by Herrscher. Next, I need to take Wendy away from headquarters."

If anyone comes looking for Wendy during this time, please cover for her.

"Okay, sure."

Upon hearing this, the Wuse Huohuo immediately nodded in agreement.

Then, under the watchful eye of the Wuse Huohuo, Gwen took Wendy and flew out of the window, disappearing into the clear blue sky.

"Well..."

Although some erotic thoughts had arisen not long ago, at this moment, Wuse Huohuo had completely abandoned those ideas, only hoping that Wendy would return safely.

Back in the Far East Branch, Wendy was one of the few people Hui Huo remembered who didn't show any particular interest in her.

Perhaps the reason is that the two have had little contact, but Wuse Huohuo still has a good impression of him and hopes that he can succeed.

While the Wuse Huohuo was sighing, Gwen had already led it to a Wuse Huohuo place and begun his experiment.

However, even though Wendy had made up her mind and had been taught some tricks by Gwen, she still found it difficult to master the elusive power in her legs.

"This is no easy task after all. Wendy, are you planning to continue trying later, or will you activate the backup plan directly?"

Seeing that Plan One had failed, Gwen was not disappointed and looked at Wendy, asking her a question.

"Captain, I..."

Wendy was once again caught in a dilemma.

Suddenly, a mountain breeze swept by, ruffling a strand of hair at Wendy's temple, making the girl's heart itch.

Wendy subconsciously scratched her cheek, only to see Gwyn, whose clothes fluttered in the mountain wind but whose figure remained upright and resolute, looking at her with gentle Gwen, without a trace of urgency or impatience...

"I want to use the second option!"

Chapter 428 Hui Huo: Something's strange!

Moved by something deep within her, Wendy finally made up her mind and met Gwen's gaze, giving her her answer—

"Everyone in the team is working hard, and I don't want to just sit in my room waiting for good news while I'm basking in the glory."

I want to... fight against the Honkai alongside Hui Huo, Anna, and you, Captain!

As the girl spoke, a sudden breeze arose, blowing directly up Wendy's bangs and giving this usually gentle and delicate girl a touch of Valkyrie's decisiveness.

"Good..."

Gwen smiled and nodded, but his gaze fell on Wendy's slender legs.

"However... perhaps it's not necessary..."

"What?"

Wendy had been so imposing just moments before, suddenly froze, looking at Gwen in confusion.

"Oh...

Silly girl, haven't you noticed yet?

That gust of wind just now...

Meeting Wendy's surprised gaze, Gwen smiled and tapped Wendy's little head with his finger.

"Just..."

Upon hearing this, Wendy subconsciously began to ponder.

After a while, under Gwen's gaze, Wendy's long hair, which had been furrowed in her brows, suddenly floated up, but only for a moment before it fell down again.

"Captain, I did it!"

Opening her eyes, Wendy, whose face was flushed from holding her breath, looked at Gwen with delight.

"Hmm... there's hope now."

Gwen smiled and nodded, making a joke—

"However, we still need to continue to work hard."

Otherwise, Wendy, you'll just have to play a ghost without any special effects.

"Captain, you're so mean!"

Hearing Gwen's teasing remark, Wendy was immediately embarrassed and punched Gwen with all her might—

With her current strength, even if she attacks at full power, she won't cause any serious injury...

However, to Wendy's astonishment, the smiling Gwen was suddenly sent flying backwards by a gust of wind.

"Team leader!"

Realizing something was wrong, Wendy quickly reached out to pull Gwen back, but the power she had just gained was no longer as effective as her own, and she only stirred up a few gusts of air, blowing Gwen even further away.

Just as Wendy was feeling a bit lost, a flash of light appeared, and Gwen reappeared in front of Wendy.

"Not bad, Wendy. In terms of the instantaneous output just now, you are already stronger than Stigmata, who has the help of Mei to develop."

Gwen reached out and smoothed the girl's hair, which was disheveled by the strong wind, Gwen praised her with a smile.

"Um!

I will try my best!

Feeling the warmth from that large hand, Wendy nodded vigorously, already taking Gwen's teasing as a stimulating remark to help her develop her abilities.

But then Gwen continued—

"Now at least she's not just a female ghost who can only let her hair flutter... she's at least a powerful demon who can stir up demonic winds."

"..."

The girl's expression of gratitude froze, turning into one of embarrassment and annoyance.

"Captain, why are you so annoying!"

As Wendy spoke, she tried to knock Gwen away again.

However, this time, the little fist landed on Gwen without causing the slightest disturbance.

"You still need more practice, you half-baked Herrscher."

Gwen, lightly flicking the girl's smooth forehead.

"Awoo!"

Staring at Gwen's hateful smile, Wendy was instantly filled with rage and, emboldened by courage, opened her small mouth and bit down hard on Gwen's finger, but Gwen easily dodged it—

"Hey, I can't bite it!"

The girl, already extremely embarrassed and angry, was naturally unwilling to give up and relentlessly pursued Gwen.

When Wendy finally succeeded in biting Gwen's finger and showed a smug look on her face, she saw Gwen smile and point behind him—

"Look, Wendy, you've stood up..."

"Huh?"

Upon hearing this, Wendy couldn't help but turn around and see that her wheelchair had been left far away, and she was now standing barefoot on a rock.

Yet, there was not a speck of dust on her fair and delicate feet, which were enveloped in a layer of imperceptible airflow.

"How was my provocation? How did it go?"

Seeing the look of surprise and delight on the girl's face, Gwen gently withdrew his still-bitten finger and asked softly.

"Um..."

Looking down at her legs, which were now able to walk and run again, Wendy's eyes were already filled with tears. She bit her cherry lips tightly, and her voice trembled with unspeakable emotion.

Slowly raising her head, Wendy was about to say something when she saw Gwen gently shaking his finger, which was still glistening with a few drops of crystalline light, looking at her with a smile.

"..."

Although her excitement and emotion remained undiminished, Wendy suddenly felt a surge of embarrassment and annoyance upon seeing Gwen's smile.

Suddenly, Wendy wrapped her arms around Gwen's neck, and before he could react, she brought her face close and bit Gwen lip hard. Wendy then released her hands, turned, and walked away.

"Alright, Captain, thank you. I'll go get the wheelchair now..."

"If you're still not satisfied, you can come back next time. Don't worry, it's free..."

Feeling the slight pain on his lips and the girl's shyness, Gwen looked at the girl's back and said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the girl staggered slightly, but then quickened her pace.

A gentle breeze carried the sound of a disgruntled girl's voice—

"How come I never noticed before? Captain, you're so annoying!"

As a gentle breeze rustled the already tied curtains, the Wuse Huohuo felt a blur before its eyes, and two figures appeared in front of it.

"You... success?"

Seeing Wendy standing up on her own, carrying her wheelchair, Wuse Huohuo understood the outcome and couldn't help but exclaim with delight.

"Yes, it worked!"

Although still somewhat annoyed by the people around her, Wendy shared her joy with a face full of delight when facing the Wuse Huohuo, and even spun around on the spot while talking.

"Congratulations, Wendy..."

Seeing this, the Wuse Huohuo also showed genuine joy and offered its congratulations.

The two talked for a while, Gwen, who was standing nearby, didn't interrupt. He only spoke when the two were about to finish their conversation.

"Wendy's legs have only recently recovered, and she may still have some difficulty moving around. Hui Huo, if you're free, could you help Wendy with some simple rehabilitation exercises?"

Now Wendy, you also need to be careful to control your power. After all, headquarters is not a desolate wilderness. I will give you special control training later.

As for the checkup, there's no rush. You can go after you've recovered a bit.
