Honkai: Star Rail, Marry Acheron Upon Landing

"My benefactor is so heartless~ This humble girl brought you breakfast, and as soon as you finished eating, you started to dislike me~"

"..."

Lin Shuang was speechless for a moment, and simply didn't reply, burying her head and eating, damn it, eat, eat, eat, eat!

In just a few bites, she stuffed all the food on the table into her stomach.

As soon as she let out a satisfied burp, Tingyun's tail snaked over and patted Lin Shuang's arm.

The meaning was self-evident.

Lin Shuang looked at the fluffy tail, and a surge of malice rose within her. She grabbed a tuft of tail fur and said fiercely:

"Let's go! See how I'll deal with you!"

Two system hours later.

Tingyun, with a flushed face and trembling all over, collapsed limply on the sofa. She had changed into a nightgown and was wrapped in Lin Shuang's blanket, looking delicate and soft.

Lin Shuang, on the other hand, sat on a single sofa next to her, refreshed and looking at Tingyun, who had lost her earlier vigor, and provocatively gestured with her chin.

"Hmph~ Woman, you know how powerful I am now, right?"

Tingyun just glared at Lin Shuang with a flushed face, then pulled the blanket over her head, pretending not to see.

However, her fluffy ears, exposed outside the blanket, were still trembling, clearly not having recovered yet.

Lin Shuang checked the time and said to Tingyun on the sofa:

"I'm going to the Divination Department to find Qingque. Tingyun, you should continue resting."

Afterward, hearing a barely audible response from within the blanket, she left her residence with a smile.

Lin Shuang naturally didn't know the location of the Divination Department.

However, upon arriving at Changle Heaven, Lin Shuang met Qingque.

"Oh, you're finally here! I snuck out during my lunch break, so let's hurry. If we're too late, the Grand Diviner might not be happy."

As soon as they met, Qingque grabbed Lin Shuang's wrist and pulled her towards where the starship was docked.

Lin Shuang was quite puzzled. She looked at Qingque, who was leading the way, and asked curiously:

"Qingque, how did you convince the Grand Tutor?"

"Heh heh~ That's my top secret, I can't tell anyone!"

Seeing Qingque's secretive demeanor, Lin Shuang pouted and didn't ask further.

They boarded a starship at a port in Changle Heaven and flew all the way to the blessed land where the Divination Department was located.

However, while it was said to be a visit to the Divination Department, Lin Shuang was an outsider, so she couldn't go to any particularly important places.

So, following Qingque to a rather secluded lounge, Lin Shuang met Fu Xuan, the Grand Diviner, who was looking at something.

"You're here. I heard from Qingque that you have very skilled massage techniques that can relieve fatigue and activate the muscles?"

Fu Xuan was small, and when she stood up, she was about the same height as Qingque. Lin Shuang almost had to look up at her.

But she had a strong aura, exuding the confidence of someone in a high position.

Lin Shuang nodded and was about to speak.

Suddenly, her peripheral vision caught Qingque, who was trying to reduce her presence and was stealthily heading for the door.

Lin Shuang was shocked!

You little Qingque, how dare you sneak away from such a big matter and leave me to face Fu Xuan alone!

Without thinking, Lin Shuang lunged forward, grabbed Qingque's arm, and, in front of Qingque's shocked and utterly defeated gaze, nodded seriously:

"That's right. I'm quite confident in my massage skills. Qingque strongly recommended that I come and give Grand Diviner a massage yesterday, saying she wanted you to relax."

"Qingque, what you told me yesterday seems a bit different?"

Fu Xuan's voice came from behind Qingque. Realizing she couldn't escape, Qingque glared at Lin Shuang with a shocked and sorrowful look before turning around with a smile and saying:

"Oh, Grand Diviner, it's just a small matter, a trivial thing. Why don't you just try it? Since we're already here, don't you think so?"

"Hmph, Qingque, you will stay here and work overtime. I told you yesterday that I would personally supervise you. Don't think you can escape just because it's your lunch break!"

"What—?! No, Grand Diviner!!"

Volume 1: Chapter 49: Damn, I really want to take a big lick of Grand Diviner Fu Xuan's white stockings and little feet.

The lounge had a soft small bed, as well as a desk and sofa for work.

The room was filled with relaxing aromatherapy, and there were also some snacks and tea, which looked quite nice.

Perhaps sensing Lin Shuang's scrutinizing gaze, Fu Xuan continued to put pressure on Qingque with her eyes and explained:

"The Divination Department is busy with official duties. It's not just me; other Diviners often work overtime, so I specifically set up some lounges within the Divination Department for Diviners to rest."

"I see."

Lin Shuang nodded. She hadn't seen any related information about these things in the game.

It was like even in the game, you couldn't tell how large Changle Heaven actually was.

Many details unrelated to the game were naturally omitted as well.

"Wuuuuh— This is supposed to be the break room for slacking off, why do I have to work here!"

Qingque, who was working at her desk nearby, chimed in with her complaint at the opportune moment.

Unfortunately, Fu Xuan seemed determined this time to severely punish Qingque for her terrible habit of not clocking in.

She didn't budge an inch, instead turning directly to Lin Shuang and saying:

"I'll trouble you to give me a massage today to relax. I'm also very curious just how exquisite the massage skills are that both Tingyun and Qingque recommended."

"If the effect is good, the Divination Department might consider arranging some massage treatments in the future to relieve the fatigue of the Diviners."

The workload of the Divination Department couldn't be reduced, and the assessment for Diviners couldn't be made any easier.

With the number of Diviners not increasing, the workload also couldn't decrease.

Fu Xuan could only try to compensate these overtime-working Diviners from other aspects.

After all, Fu Xuan wasn't some devilish boss; work when it's time to work, rest when it's time to rest. People aren't machines; they get tired and make mistakes.

Just because she was willing to work overtime didn't mean she would take everyone else's overtime for granted.

Of course, the thoughts above didn't apply to Qingque.

This kid was perfectly capable but only thought about guarding the door every day, neglecting her actual duties.

Before, she was just slacking off, at least doing her daily work diligently during work hours.

But yesterday, when she was only assigned a simple task of waiting for someone, this guy actually dared not to clock in!

If she dares not to clock in now, Fu Xuan couldn't even imagine what else she might dare to do in the future!

Punishment, she must be severely punished!

Qingque, seeing that Fu Xuan was completely ignoring her, felt a jolt in her heart, realizing she probably couldn't get away this time.

This is bad!

Her original plan was to have Lin Shuang give Fu Xuan a massage.

Qingque had experienced it herself, and although the process was a bit embarrassing, the effect was indeed good.

She chose the secluded break room, which no one visited except herself, precisely to avoid anyone seeing Fu Xuan's potential loss of composure later.

And if others couldn't see, could she, Qingque, see it!

Qingque had just planned to slip away.

When Lin Shuang started the massage, the Diviner would definitely sense something was wrong, and if she were present then.

Not only would she witness her superior losing face, but she would also have to bear Fu Xuan's wrath.

If she wasn't there, and after the fact, Fu Xuan discovered the good effect of Lin Shuang's massage, her anger towards Qingque would surely be greatly reduced.

Then, if she said a few good words and offered some delicious sweets, with her function of introducing capable people to the Diviner, wouldn't this matter be resolved!

But now—

Qingque's alarm bells went off as she watched Fu Xuan kick off her shoes and lie down on the bed, her skirt naturally draping down, outlining her beautiful body curve.

It's over, it's all over.

Not only would she have to bear the wrath of Lord Fu Xuan now, but she would also be deeply remembered for a lifetime.

Witnessing her superior losing face like this was no joke...

Doesn't Fu Xuan care about her reputation? Seeing such a huge handle, a normal leader would either get rid of the person or keep them by their side without letting them out of sight.

Considering Qingque's situation, would Fu Xuan have any other choice?

Lin Shuang, oh Lin Shuang, you've really ruined me!!

After all, you are a guest of the Xianzhou. With no third party here, if anything really happened, could the Diviner truly arrest you?

But she was different; she was going to continue slacking off in the Divination Department for hundreds of years.

The thought of Lin Shuang grabbing her hand just as she was about to sneak away, preventing her escape, made Qingque pound her chest and stamp her feet.

Failure, utter failure!

With that thought, Qingque turned her back, deciding that no matter what happened, even if Abundant Doses attacked now, she would never look back.

From now on, she, Qingque, would be a deaf and blind Deficient!

Lin Shuang, on the other hand, didn't have as many internal monologues as Qingque.

She looked at Fu Xuan, who was lying on the bed, her skirt falling naturally, outlining the beautiful curve of her body.

And the pair of white stockings tightly clinging to her body, covering her perfect legs.

She couldn't help but swallow.

"Grand Tutor Fu, please forgive me."

"Just do it. Tingyun already mentioned in her letter that your massages have some rather peculiar side effects," Fu Xuan said.

"Ah, um, okay, I understand."

Upon hearing this, Lin Shuang nodded and then reached out, gently placing her hands on Fu Xuan's calves.

Smooth and soft.

That was the first sensation.

Following her gaze, Fu Xuan's seemingly restless feet in white stockings wriggled slightly right before Lin Shuang's eyes, the fabric rustling softly.

It was hard not to let her mind wander.

"Mmm..."

Perhaps Lin Shuang's touch was too light, causing Fu Xuan to feel a slight tickle. Her toes curled slightly, and her feet couldn't help but rub together.

"..."

God, I really want to lick them!

Lin Shuang suppressed her primal urges, placing both hands on Fu Xuan's calves. She took a deep breath and began the actual massage.

Of course, this time, Lin Shuang was determined to control her massage technique with all her might, aiming to provide Fu Xuan with nothing but relaxation, and absolutely no other strange sensations.

"——!!!"

As time passed.

Lin Shuang was astonished to find that Fu Xuan, despite her legs trembling slightly, didn't let out any strange sounds!

Since she was lying face down on the bed, Lin Shuang couldn't see her face or detect any significant rise and fall of her chest.

Lin Shuang's massages naturally caused muscles to spasm and tremble involuntarily, so she couldn't tell if Fu Xuan's breathing rhythm had changed significantly.
