Winning Over Bronya? Seele Is Here to Help!

If it hadn't been for the companionship of another self, along with her longing for Bronya, Seele probably wouldn't have been able to hold on this long.

"Of course. I never lie."

Su Moqian smiled and nodded, but he soon grew serious and said:

"But, Seele, you need to remember one thing. Although I pulled you out of the Sea of Quantum, it wasn't without a price. Do you understand what I mean?"

Seeing Su Moqian suddenly become so serious, Seele was startled.

But she quickly understood what Su Moqian meant.

That made sense. She had been trapped in the Sea of Quantum for so long without being able to escape. How could the young man before her have rescued her so easily?

He must have paid a considerable price!

"For such a tremendous favor, how am I supposed to repay you?"

At that moment, Seele couldn't help looking troubled.

Now, she had nothing left in this world. The only thing she still had was herself...

Seeing Seele's expression darken as well, Su Moqian nodded.

Because of the skill's restrictions, he could only pull Seele out for two hours a day. This could hardly be considered a good thing.

So, before telling her about it, Su Moqian had deliberately lowered Seele's expectations with his words.

Then, Su Moqian prepared to comfort her.

However, before he could say anything, he heard Seele's voice, as soft as a mosquito's buzz:

"A-all I want is to see Sister Bronya every day... So, so living with you wouldn't be impossible..."

"?" Su Moqian froze.

Wait a second. Did Seele misunderstand something? I'm an upright gentleman!

To prevent any misunderstanding, Su Moqian hurriedly explained:

"No, Seele, that's not what I meant..."

"Seele is scared, so can I have children a few years later?"

Seele's face flushed crimson, and her voice was almost too quiet to hear.

Seeing this, Su Moqian covered his face in despair.

"What happened to make you misunderstand me this badly?"

He couldn't understand why Seele, who looked like such a good girl, would say something like that.

Could someone have been chatting with her and making dirty jokes the whole time she was in the Sea of Quantum?

After a great deal of persuasion, Seele finally believed that Su Moqian wasn't lusting after her and had no ulterior motives.

"As for the price I mentioned just now, it is actually that I can't keep you in the real world forever."

Su Moqian gently stroked Seele's cheek and said solemnly:

"Every twelve hours, I can only summon you for one hour. Do you understand?"

"Huh?" Seele was slightly taken aback, then the corners of her lips curved upward.

"That's all?"

This time, it was Su Moqian's turn to freeze. He hadn't expected Seele to react so calmly to this fact.

Although Seele appeared extremely weak on the surface, her heart was actually so strong that Su Moqian couldn't help admiring her.

Seeing Su Moqian's astonished expression, Seele smiled faintly.

"Seele expected something like this long ago. Pulling Seele out of the Sea of Quantum couldn't have been simple. A time limit is perfectly normal."

"And for Seele, being able to return for two hours a day is already incredibly fortunate."

Looking at Seele as she smiled with her eyes narrowed, Su Moqian was slightly stunned.

"Seele..."

He had to admit, Seele's smile just now had truly healed him.

She was such a kind and good girl. She should have been living happily in this world.

Yet because of some inhuman thing, she had ended up in this state.

Thinking of this, Su Moqian's hatred for Cocolia grew another notch.

"All right, Seele. I'm truly happy that you can maintain this outlook."

"Now, Seele, I have to tell you my purpose."

Hearing Su Moqian's words, Seele's expression also turned serious, and she nodded earnestly.

"All right. As long as it doesn't mean betraying Sister Bronya, Seele is willing to do anything!"

Hearing this, Su Moqian smiled and comforted her.

"Don't worry. How could I make you betray Bronya? On the contrary, I want you to help save her!"

"Save Sister Bronya?" Confusion appeared in Seele's eyes.

"That's right." Su Moqian spoke with a solemn expression.

"You might not believe this, but Bronya has been deceived by an evil cult. So I hope you can save Bronya, Seele. Can you do that?"

"Sister Bronya was deceived by an evil cult?"

Seele's eyes widened, her face filled with disbelief.

"That's right. Every word I said is true—truer than the truth itself!" Su Moqian's tone was extremely serious.

Although he didn't know exactly what Anti-Entropy did, judging from what Cocolia had done, he knew they were no good.

Everything should be done with people as the priority, yet they were willing to sacrifice the lives of all the citizens of Changkong City to achieve their goals.

Could a normal person do something like that?

If you say you're not an evil cult, who would believe you?!

Otto, the leader of Schicksal, was ten thousand times better than that damn Cocolia, all right?

And they had even used saving Seele as bait to trick the good girl Bronya into doing so many evil things.

That absolutely proved they were an evil cult!

Although everyone said not to judge the whole by one part, if someone like Cocolia could become their leader, the others probably weren't much better.

Of course, Su Moqian knew that his thoughts at this moment were indeed somewhat extreme.

But he had no intention of repenting. If they wanted him to change his opinion of Anti-Entropy, they could wait until the other side did something truly wonderful.

While Su Moqian was thinking about this, he also told Seele Cocolia's entire plan.

"Seele, do you understand now? That cult leader is preparing to sacrifice the lives of all the citizens of Changkong City to achieve her plan."

"She even used saving you as an excuse to trick your Sister Bronya into working like a beast for her!"

"If this plan really succeeds, then the lives of nearly a million people will be counted against Bronya and you. To prevent that from happening, you must help me save Bronya."

Su Moqian held Seele's hand, his gaze utterly sincere.

Everything he had said was true. Not a single word was false.

After hearing Su Moqian's words, Seele's eyes were also filled with shock.

"H-how can this be? Sister Bronya was too foolish..."

Su Moqian sighed and looked at Seele.

"Your Sister Bronya loves you dearly. To save you, she was even willing to participate in such an outrageous plan."

"And you, Seele, love her just as much. You have to pull Bronya back from the abyss too. Understand?"

Seele pressed her lips together and nodded heavily.

"All right. I absolutely can't let Sister Bronya do something foolish. By the way, Brother, what do you want to do? Seele will definitely cooperate with you!"

"Still... Seele doesn't know your name yet." Her voice returned to its usual timid state.

Su Moqian patted Seele's head and replied gently:

"My name is Su Moqian. You can just call me Moqian."

Seele nodded lightly, then raised her little face and asked tentatively:

"Then... Brother Moqian?"

"Mm, I'm here." Su Moqian looked at Seele and asked softly:

"What is it, Seele? Why do you still seem so nervous?"

"It's just... Seele is a little worried that she won't do well." Seele clenched her hands, looking somewhat nervous.

Seeing this, Su Moqian softened his voice.

"Don't worry. I'll arrange for you to meet Bronya later, and I'll explain everything to her. All you need to do is act cute."

"A-act cute?" Seele froze, not understanding what he meant.

"Uh..."

Facing this little girl who had been separated from the real world for years, Su Moqian didn't know how to explain it to her. In the end, he shook his head.

"Forget it. You're already cute enough, Seele. There's no need to act any cuter. You just need to echo what I say when the time comes."

"But Seele is still a little scared..."

Seele clenched her little fists and held them against her chest, the nervousness not diminishing in the slightest.

She was naturally rather introverted, and during all those years in the Sea of Quantum, she had hardly spoken to anyone else. The only person she could talk to was her other self.

Because of that, Seele was extremely afraid that she would lose control when she met Bronya and affect Su Moqian's plan.

If they failed to save Sister Bronya from the evil cult's clutches, it would all be over!

Seeing Seele like this, Su Moqian scratched his head helplessly.

"Well, if you're that worried, why don't we rehearse once?"

Seele nodded lightly. "Mm, I'll listen to you, Brother Moqian."

After reaching an agreement, the two began rehearsing in the room:

Su Moqian: "Give it up, Bronya! The entire outside is filled with Valkyries!"

Seele: "Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm!"

Su Moqian: "I'm taking Cocolia, and not even Jesus can stop me. I said it!"

Seele: "Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm!"

Su Moqian: "Seele, can you use a different phrase? I didn't mean for you to echo me like that."

Seele: "Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm!"

Su Moqian: "..."

Su Moqian: "How about you and Bronya marry me together?"

Seele: "Mm-hmm... Huh?"

Looking at Seele's suddenly dazed, foolish expression, Su Moqian couldn't help laughing.

Since Seele had responded with "mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm" to everything he said, he couldn't resist the urge to tease her.

"All right, Seele, don't be nervous. I was only joking just now. Don't take it seriously."

"How about this? I'll teach you a few lines, and you can repeat them when the time comes."

With that, Su Moqian began teaching Seele, wanting to fill her body with knowledge.

However, Seele hadn't taken in a word.

Her reaction was a little slow, and she suddenly realized what Su Moqian had meant just now.
