First, we could try to contact Old Yang. After all, if the original work is correct, Old Yang initially intended to negotiate with Sirin. However, in the original work, Sirin, due to hatred and arrogance, had no possibility of choosing to negotiate.

However, the plot is different this time. Under his influence, Sirin may not have feelings for Anti-Entropy, but at least she shouldn't start fighting as soon as they meet, umm... probably.

In short, it is indeed worth considering contacting Anti-Entropy. Of course, this is a choice made only after the two of them have been discovered. If possible, Ling Xi's greatest wish is that neither Schicksal nor Anti-Entropy can find her and Sirin, so that she and Sirin can live a leisurely life together forever.

To be honest, I definitely prefer the modern era to ancient times. Everything is more convenient, and most importantly, I can spend money, which is the best part!

Um?

I think I ate too many kebabs earlier, and I'm a bit thirsty.

Ling Xi suddenly felt thirsty, but the water dispenser was in the living room, so Ling Xi got out of bed, put on her slippers, and went to the living room to get some hot water. However, when Ling Xi reached the door and opened it...

"Um?"

Ling Xi was startled because there was actually a figure standing by the door!

"Huh? It's me... it's me!"

However, Sirin was also startled by Ling Xi's sudden opening of the door.

"Sirin? Uh..."

Ling Xi then clearly saw the petite girl standing at her door. Well, it really was Xiao Sirin...

What are you doing at my room door?

Ling Xi glanced at Sirin and noticed that the girl was wearing pajamas, barefoot, and holding a pillow. She was curious why the girl was coming to her room door so late at night instead of sleeping.

Seriously, a girl hugging a pillow is really cute...

"I... I... I can't sleep..."

Sirin looked a little embarrassed, but still looked at Ling Xi and said very softly, "Um... I... can I... sleep with Ling Xi?"

Sirin stood quietly at the door, waiting for Ling Xi's reply.

Ling Xi "..."

Ling Xi silently observed Sirin, even catching a faint fragrance emanating from her; the girl seemed to have just taken a bath.

Speaking of which, this familiar formula, this familiar sense of déjà vu, could it be...?

The story begins with a dog, and the girls are all rescued... wait a minute, Sirin is only fourteen! That's enough to warrant being executed twice over. Wait... my current body age seems to be under fourteen too, so I should be fine...

Cough cough, never mind, it's better to just think about it. After all, Ling Xi knows what Sirin really means; she just wants to sleep together.

But it was precisely because he knew what Sirin meant that he felt a slight disappointment...

Huh? Disappointed? Open the door, FBI!

"Hehe, of course you can!"

Of course, Ling Xi couldn't refuse Sirin's small request. She gently stroked Sirin's hair and smiled, "If you can't sleep, let's sleep together. Our bed is very big anyway."

At this moment, Ling Xi was very glad that she had the foresight to consider the possibility of three people sleeping together in the future when buying the house, so the bed was really big.

"Uh-huh."

Seeing that Ling Xi agreed, Sirin immediately became happy, her eyes filled with joy. Perhaps only this could make her feel at ease...

Ling Xi stepped aside slightly, and Sirin carefully walked in, carrying a pillow...

Ling Xi, on the other hand, walked directly towards the door.

"Huh? You... where are you going?"

Seeing Ling Xi walk straight out of the room, Sirin seemed a little confused. She hurriedly grabbed Ling Xi's arm, afraid that Ling Xi would leave. At the same time, she was also a little uneasy. Could it be that... because she came to Ling Xi's room, Ling Xi was planning to go to another room to sleep?

"Pour me a glass of water."

Ling Xi glanced at Sirin with a hint of helplessness and smiled, "You go back to your room first. I'm just thirsty. I'll get a glass of water and come right back."

"Eh... Oh oh..."

Sirin then released Ling Xi's arm, looking somewhat embarrassed, and said, "Well... I'm thirsty too, let's go together."

So, Sirin threw the pillow onto the bed, turned back and hugged Ling Xi's arm again, ready to go get some water together.

Ling Xi: "..." Please, you're the Herrscher of the Void!

In the end, Ling Xi could only take Sirin with her to get some water, and although Sirin wasn't thirsty, she still pretended to drink a little...

Finally, the two returned to the room.

"Hey-hey..."

Sirin happily jumped onto the bed and hugged her pillow again.

Looking at Sirin's appearance, Ling Xi could roughly guess the reason. It was clearly a sign of insecurity, or rather, loneliness...

Babylon Laboratory...

If I had woken up sooner, I might have been able to stop these things from happening.

However, it's never too late to mend the fence after the sheep are lost. Taking care of and settling Sirin now can still prevent the Second Honkai War, even though my goal is not to stop the Second Honkai War at all, but simply to protect Sirin!

As for the Second Honkai War, it would be best if it could be stopped. If it cannot be stopped or the price to pay is too high, then I have no interest in meddling in other people's business. After all, being hailed as a hero by humans is not a good sign.

"Alright, Sirin, get some rest."

With that thought in mind, Ling Xi stopped thinking about those irrelevant things and lay down on the bed to rest.

"Uh-huh..."

Sirin nodded, then silently put the pillow aside and carefully hugged Ling Xi...

Ling Xi "..."

"Hey-hey..."

Seeing that Ling Xi didn't react, Sirin was completely relieved. She stopped thinking about anything else, happily hugged Ling Xi, closed her eyes, and quickly fell asleep...

So, nothing really happened to Ling Xi except for being hugged by Sirin like a pillow, because that was Sirin's original intention. She... simply didn't want to be alone!

Chapter 605: If we want to save humanity, we must make the Herrscher suffer from morning sickness!

"Ling Xi, I want to eat this!"

A week later, the two went out for a stroll again, grabbing some late-night snacks, and Sirin had her eye on fried chicken.

"Didn't you just eat today? Why do you want to eat this again?"

Ling Xi hesitated for a moment, not really wanting to buy fried chicken for Sirin, saying, "Eating too much of this stuff will cause internal heat, and fried food will make you gain weight."

"Mmm..."

Sirin pursed her lips, but didn't act spoiled. "Okay, we'll have fried chicken tomorrow."

"Hehe, alright, alright, don't forget that our Shenzhou has a lot of delicious food. Let me take you to eat some other good food."

Ling Xi ruffled Sirin's hair and then led her forward. As for why this girl likes fried chicken, could it be... a family tradition?

After all, Ling Xi remembered that Ciliate really liked fried chicken...

In the end, Ling Xi took Sirin to eat a bowl of cold noodles, successfully silencing Sirin. Although eating such a thing in the dead of winter was a bit outrageous, but...

For Herrscher, it was no big deal, and the locals were very friendly; there was no incident of them trying to charge Sirin for two bowls of noodles.

Since having her own home, Sirin's personality has changed a lot. She is happier every day. During the day, Ling Xi takes Sirin out to play almost every day, especially the Humo Amusement Park, which is Sirin's favorite place!

Sirin also became one of HOMU's fans, although Ling Xi still couldn't understand why HOMU was so popular, well... except for the supply cards!

If I don't want to go out, I'll just stay home and play games. In the evenings, I'll either go see a movie, go out for a late-night snack, or just relax at home. Life is so comfortable, after all, I don't have to work and can just eat, drink, and have fun every day...

Isn't this annoying?

In addition, since the pillow was a bit too small for Sirin, Ling Xi took out a body pillow from her system inventory and gave it to Sirin. It was even a Queen-style body pillow. As for why Ling Xi had this...

Well, it was probably a free gift with a phone top-up, anyway, it definitely wasn't something Ling Xi bought on her own!

Then...

Sirin threw it away immediately and declared that no one was allowed to have such a beautiful Lü Ren body pillow in the house. Moreover, she preferred to sleep in Ling Xi's room rather than with the body pillow, and she still liked to hug Ling Xi while sleeping...

Sigh, there's just no way to deal with this girl, but luckily Ling Xi also likes to hug Sirin, hmm... what a bargain!

It's a pity that Ling Xi hasn't grown up yet, otherwise she might be able to do something else. In fact, Ling Xi also really wants to do something for Sirin, because to be honest, the most useful thing is to make Sirin completely listen to her and turn her into her true self!

Whether it's Sakura or Elysia from the Previous Era, or the Slacking Twins, or the whining sisters, including... the Immortal who had been ignored by him for five hundred years, they all became obedient to him after becoming his people, even if they were Immortal!

So, if possible, Ling Xi really wants to stir things up!

Unfortunately, this has been the case ever since I was resurrected; it seems...

After losing his Herrscher Core, he can only wait to grow up, just like when he was with Yingying and the others!

It's a pity that Sirin isn't a fully-fledged Herrscher of the Void yet; otherwise, she might have been able to use the Void Archives Core to grow faster.

In short, their lives were relatively peaceful, and Sirin stopped using the power of the Herrscher of the Void because she found that there was no opportunity to use it at all.

However, things seem to be going badly lately. In just one week, three Honkai events have occurred in the vicinity, and Honkai Beast appeared in two of them. Fortunately, the Schicksal forces arrived in time, preventing any serious consequences, and the Honkai events were not exposed!

As a result, due to the Honkai in the vicinity, the price of the house that Ling Xi and Sirin had just bought suddenly plummeted... Ling Xi's house, which originally cost about 300,000, is now only worth 200,000...

Damn it, if I had known this would happen, I should have bought the discounted item later. After all, Ling Xi could more or less guess why the Honkai were happening so frequently around her...

Ling Xi glanced at Sirin Ling Xi. He seemed conflicted, wondering whether or not to move with Sirin.

Because if things continue this way, Schicksal and Anti-Entropy will eventually take notice of this situation, and then...

Putting everything else aside, it's almost certain that Sirin will fight against the people of Destiny and Anti-Entropy Schicksal. After all, no matter how lazy Sirin is now, she is still the Herrscher of the Void. As long as her mind wavers even slightly, that old geezer, the Will of Honkai, will definitely start to bewitch Sirin and turn her little angel into a fully-fledged Herrscher.

Moreover, is hatred really that easy to eliminate?

Ha, Ling Xi doesn't believe it!

Putting aside everything else, just from the time she transformed into Herrscher of Flamescion in the Previous Era, Ling Xi knew very well that repaying evil with kindness and winning people over with virtue were all nonsense. Therefore, Ling Xi was very clear that Sirin had only chosen to temporarily put things aside because of her, and that she truly wanted Sirin to eliminate the barriers in her heart...

Mmm...

There are probably only two ways. One is to scatter Schicksal's ashes. The second is to give Sirin something to hold onto and worry about, like herself. But being alone might not be enough, unless...

Let Miss Sirin experience morning sickness too...

Hmm, if Sirin were like Seele, maybe she would consider the bigger picture for Sirin's sake. However, this second method seems premature, after all, Sirin is still too young...

Uh, what if you successfully execute the second method but end up getting yourself imprisoned, and then Sirin's wife has to bring you food through the iron bars while heavily pregnant? That would be so embarrassing.

Wait a minute... our Sirin is Herrscher, and I'm Herrscher too...

So... "Tears Behind Bars"?

No, it's definitely "Queen Arrives"!

But... this is obviously worse!

In the end, Ling Xi gave up those messy ideas. As for the Herrscher Pregnancy Project, she would wait for the time being. After all, even if she returned to her normal form, she couldn't guarantee that she could get Sirin infected.

As for why Seele was able to contract the virus, perhaps we can only wait until Seele is born and have the Doctor investigate it thoroughly before we can answer that question.

"Hey, you with the messy hair, are you sure the Herrscher is in the Capital City of Shenzhou?"

"It's pretty much confirmed that the Herrscher was definitely born in the Babylon Laboratory, and based on the current clues, the Herrscher should be hiding in the Capital City, and she has a companion!"

"Then what do we do? We can't possibly fight Herrscher in the city, can we?"

"Don't worry. Based on the current clues, it's speculated that this new Herrscher is still a communicable being. We can try to make contact with it first, which was our initial goal!"

"Hmm... what about an ambush?"

"We also need to be prepared. Negotiation is only a means of restraining force, while force is the bottom line for protecting humanity. And if... the other party is really a dangerous Herrscher, then we can only do our best to eliminate him."

Chapter 606: Negotiation is a Professional for Old Yang!

At midnight, Sirin opened her eyes because she sensed... "He" had arrived!

Sirin glanced back at Ling Xi, who was already asleep, hugging his waist and sleeping soundly...
