Don't Get a Bargain and Then Act Like a Spoiled Brat, Host!

"You said you're interested in me?"

"That's right."

As their eyes met, Ashe, who had been serious, relaxed and smiled.

She looked at Morgana, who had a calm expression before her, and casually teased, "But I'm not interested in a stalking 'psycho'."

"Stalking? Psycho?"

Completely taken aback by the description, Morgana, who had always been very confident, froze for the first time.

"That's right."

Without giving Morgana time to react, Ashe knew very well the importance of taking the initiative when facing a strong, confident woman.

"And you said you're interested in me? You could have waited for me outside. But you snuck in directly."

"Furthermore, you didn't reveal yourself proactively. You were only forced to show yourself after I detected you, which means your motives are impure."

"As for you saying you used to be a tutor at some Super Seminary."

"Combining your actions above, it makes me suspect that the reason you left Super Seminary was precisely because you were constantly stalking others and were forcibly expelled because of it."

"And the last point, you said we couldn't beat you."

"I admit that. You followed them here silently and bound that guy in black like a mummy with a wave of your hand. Even if I hadn't blocked that bullet for you just now, you probably could have dealt with him with a flick of your finger. That thing couldn't have hurt you at all."

"However…"

Ashe couldn't help but glance at the two enormous, wicked mounds on Morgana's upper body. Yeah, those are definitely bulletproof. After all, in anime, they can shoot her for ages and she's completely fine.

"You probably don't want to cause too much of a scene, right?"

Ashe's gaze sharpened as she looked directly at Morgana. She continued her analysis, "There must be someone or something you're wary of nearby, or perhaps on Earth right now, that requires you to hide yourself to accomplish your goals. And I was just an unexpected discovery after you arrived here, which is why you came in stealthily, wanting to observe me. Otherwise, with your strength, you could have just barged in openly. Who here could have stopped you?"

"So, I advise you to leave. Because although we can't beat you, we can definitely cause a huge commotion."

"Maybe they can't, but I definitely can."

Ashe's halberd in her hand began to crackle with faint lightning.

Looking at Morgana opposite her, who had just said a lot but hadn't gotten to the point Ashe wanted to understand, and was now ready to attack at any moment.

"Pfft…" Morgana suppressed a laugh that threatened to escape.

The corners of her lips turned up, and her entire demeanor suddenly became indescribably seductive. She bit her jelly-red lips lightly, her eyes now like a hunter who had been tracking prey for a long time.

"You're really something else."

Her voice was low but carried an irresistible charm. Ashe, who had been staring intently at Morgana, felt herself freeze.

In the next instant, Morgana, who had been at least ten paces away from Ashe, was suddenly right in front of her. Her pupils contracted involuntarily in shock, and Ashe could even see her own reflection in Morgana's pair of phoenix eyes.

The next second, Morgana, with a smile full of allure, reached out and gently embraced her. Ashe felt her body go limp and collapsed into Morgana's arms.

As for Qilin and the others present, they stood frozen as if time had stopped, completely immobile and doing nothing.

Morgana, while holding Ashe, whispered into her ear, "It's a pity your strength is too weak, and you know too little about the gods of the universe."

"You should know that in the face of absolute power, all your analysis is useless. However, you did analyze one thing very thoroughly: I indeed don't want to make too much of a scene."

"Let's leave it at that for today, little warrior. We'll meet again next time."

With that, Morgana seemed about to release Ashe. Feeling herself slipping, Ashe quickly communicated with her system, trying to understand what Morgana had done to her.

Just then, Morgana, who had been letting Ashe fall, held her waist with one hand and lifted Ashe's chin with the other, bringing her face to face with her.

Ashe looked at Morgana with confusion, and Morgana smiled charmingly.

"That's right, Queenie can't see your dark messages. But I can still understand everyone else's."

"Gender dysphoria, huh? I was wondering why you were staring at Queenie's... down there."

"Since that's the case..."

Morgana's hand, which had been stroking Ashe's chin, moved to the back of Ashe's head at some point.

Ashe, unsure of what Morgana intended to do, felt her previously bright vision.

The next second, it instantly turned dark.

"Ngh!"

A sense of suffocation instantly washed over her.

Ashe felt a captivating fragrance enter her nose, as if she had been pressed against a springy, soft sponge by Morgana.

She didn't even have time to alert the system she had been communicating with.

For a fleeting moment, Ashe actually wanted to indulge in this suffocating feeling.

The next moment, a confused Ashe was lifted up again by Morgana, a smile playing on her lips.

Under Ashe's gaze, Morgana chuckled playfully.

She leaned down and whispered into Ashe's ear.

"Was it wonderful? Heh, since you gave Queenie a surprise, Queenie will give you a matching return gift."

"Give me enough of a surprise next time we meet, Ashe. You'll be Queenie's sooner or later."

"Goodbye."

She exhaled a puff of fragrant air into Ashe's ear. Ashe only heard Morgana snap her fingers.

Instantly, Ashe's strength returned, and the system's prompt sounded.

[System Notification: Successfully blocked a mind-shielding attempt for the host. The God of Thunder Cultivation System provides comprehensive mental information protection!]

???

"You can block Morgana's Dark Energy invasion?"

"Of course. Please don't underestimate this system, host."

"Then why was I completely weak just now? Why didn't you help me block it?"

"According to the system's judgment, if the system had helped the host prevent the invasion, the probability of being exposed due to your acting skills would have been as high as ninety percent, and the system would also have been at risk of exposure."

"At the same time, the system detected that Morgana had no hostile intent just now, so the system made the most reasonable judgment and did not help the host block it. Please rest assured, even if Morgana suddenly attacked, the system's emergency protection would have rescued the host."

"...Then now."

"According to the system's detection, Morgana has left."

"Why do I feel like you were just chickening out, which is why you didn't help me block it?"

"Please do not slander this system's integrity, host, nor should you bite the hand that feeds you. According to the system's detection, your dopamine and adrenaline levels were significantly elevated just now, and you were in an excited state. In other words, you..."

"Shut up!"

Forcing the system to shut up, Ashe glanced around.

She noticed that Morgana had indeed left.
