Fu Hua smiled slightly and said, "I'd like to know how your body feels different from a human's."

"All right..."

Bella didn't refuse, indicating that Fu Hua could touch her as she pleased.

Thus began Fu Hua's dragon-petting journey. Although Bella's physical structure was not much different from a human's, she was essentially Honkai Beast, so when touching her, one could still clearly feel a slight difference from a human. However...

It feels pretty good to handle. I'd like to raise one myself sometime.

"Sirin, why are you back?"

While Fu Hua was petting the Bebedragon, Ling Xi chatted with Sirin, and the question Ling Xi was most concerned about was... why Sirin suddenly came back.

After all, before Sirin left, this girl firmly believed that he was deceiving her, and even stabbed him with a spear!

Ling Xi was well aware that after Sirin went to the moon and met the Honkai God, her consciousness would completely transform into Herrscher consciousness. That's why Ling Xi had been trying to figure out how to turn Sirin back to normal, but...

I hadn't even figured out what to do yet, and Sirin came back on her own initiative, and...

Judging from Sirin's attitude towards him, she still seemed friendly, which made Ling Xi feel very strange. Did that old geezer, the Honkai God, not trick Sirin into destroying humanity?

"Hmph, this is my home, why can't I come back?"

Sirin originally wanted to apologize for what happened yesterday, but the thought of Fu Hua at home made Sirin a little annoyed. Last night's spear had missed its mark, and if she had another chance, she would definitely stab him in the head, so that this guy wouldn't cheat on her.

As Sirin spoke, she glanced at Fu Hua beside her—no, Fu Hua was petting her own Bebedragon!

Damn it, this guy not only stole my Ling Xi, but also petted my pet! I'll remember this grudge!

"Forehead..."

Hearing Sirin's somewhat dissatisfied tone and noticing the direction of her gaze, Ling Xi could roughly guess why the girl was angry, but...

What can I do? I'm desperate too.

We can't just let Fu Hua leave, can we? Or should we let Sirin leave?

Um... Ling Xi thinks it's best for her to leave on her own...

Moreover, this is only Fu Hua so far. If Sirin knew that there were almost a dozen more wings sleeping, then...

The Queen has arrived?

"Sirin ..."

However, seeing Sirin's somewhat displeased expression, Ling Xi felt much more relaxed!

Because if Sirin gets angry because of me, doesn't that mean she cares about me?

As for the deception and misunderstanding yesterday...

The fact that Sirin was able to return already showed her attitude, so Ling Xi was actually quite happy at this moment.

"Why are you laughing?"

Seeing Ling Xi actually laugh, Sirin was immediately annoyed. "You dare to laugh? Did you think I wouldn't come back after I left? So you couldn't wait to bring another girl home?"

How could that be?

Ling Xi quickly denied it, then gently hugged Sirin into her arms...

"Hey... what... what do you want to do?"

Sirin felt a little nervous, but more than that, she was at a loss. However...

Although she appeared to resist on the surface, her body didn't make the slightest movement of resistance. Instead, she leaned into Ling Xi's arms very skillfully, after all... this was already the umpteenth time.

"Sirin ..."

Ling Xi gently hugged Sirin, nestled her head close to her ear, and whispered with a smile, "Welcome home..."

"Snort..."

Sirin merely pursed her lips and whispered, "This is my home, of course I have to come back..."

"Yes, this is our home."

Hearing this answer, Ling Xi was completely relieved. Sirin... ultimately did not stand on the opposite side of humanity.

However, this is only temporary, because Otto might cause trouble again later. After all, last night... well, although it was related to Old Yang's god-level negotiation talent, if it weren't for Otto causing trouble, even if negotiations couldn't be completed, things probably wouldn't have been so bad!

Fortunately, Sirin ultimately chose to believe in herself, but...

Ling Xi also believed this was the last time. If she disappointed Sirin again, or if humans caused trouble again, then...

Let alone Sirin, even she herself felt like going berserk!

Therefore, this time, I need to prepare in advance, preferably...

Let's go with the Immortal to talk to the Bishop of Schicksal in person, and then persuade him with reason and emotion, and convince him with virtue, so that Bishop Otto will stop causing trouble!

After all... once I awaken, this era doesn't necessarily need Otto to lead it. If Otto is sensible enough, then I'll ignore Schicksal and live a leisurely life with Fu Hua and Sirin. But...

If Otto, that scoundrel, insists on causing trouble, then...

How could there be a forty-year-old prince in the world? He directly tricked Theresa into overthrowing the tyranny of the dog, and from then on Schicksal would submit to Theresa's feet!

"By the way, Sirin, you have five Herrscher Core now, right?"

After hugging Sirin for a while, Ling Xi also asked about the Herrscher Core!

Ling Xi really wants to get a Herrscher Core from Sirin, or rather, borrow Herrscher Core, to see if she can grow up faster. After all, her current child form makes everything a bit inconvenient, especially driving.

Uh... cough cough!

Driving is inconvenient in every sense of the word!

Five?

Sirin paused for a moment, then replied, "Where did you get five? I only have this one Herrscher Core."

As she spoke, Sirin unfolded her Flame Herrscher Core in her hand.

"Ha?"

Ling Xi was taken aback for a moment and asked, "Wait, Sirin, aren't you the Herrscher of the Void? Where's your Space Core?"

"This..."

Sirin shook her head and said, "I don't know. I only remember that when I was on the moon, I went into a mysterious space, but I don't remember what happened inside. Anyway... when I came out again, my Space Core had become the Flame Herrscher Core."

"However, there seems to be no rejection reaction between this core and me. Although I can feel that this is not my natal core, there is no obstacle to using it."

Ling Xi: "..." What's going on?

What the hell... is this the Herrscher of the Void turning into the Herrscher of Flamescion?

Wait a minute, that's not how it was in the original story. In the original story, the Honkai God gave this girl four cores directly, plus the original Void Archives Core, making a total of five cores for Sirin. But now this girl only has one Flame Herrscher Core...

Seriously, could it be that this silly girl traded her Space Core for the Flame Herrscher Core? Isn't that a huge loss?

Although the Flame Herrscher Core is more destructive, the Void Archives Core is more convenient to use. Anyway, Ling Xi thinks that exchanging the Herrscher of the Void for the Herrscher of Flamescion is a huge loss.

"Show me."

Ling Xi thought for a moment, then casually took the Flame Herrscher Core from Sirin and directly integrated it into her body...

Sirin: "???"

Seeing Ling Xi fuse her core, Sirin suddenly felt a little nervous, but she didn't say anything and just silently watched Ling Xi.

"Mmm..."

A moment later, Ling Xi took out the Flame Herrscher Core and returned it to Sirin, reminding her, "Keep it safe. In the future... don't reveal your Herrscher Core to anyone except me, understand?"

"Yes, I know."

Seeing that Ling Xi had returned the Flame Herrscher Core to her, Sirin was quite happy. Sure enough, her choice was right.

There's only one core...

Watching Sirin carefully put away the Flame Herrscher Core, Ling Xi silently pondered. Although he did want to use the Herrscher Core to accelerate his body's recovery, that was on the premise that Sirin had multiple cores. Since Sirin only had one core now, he decided not to use hers.

As for what just happened...

Ling Xi was merely testing whether she could use the power of the Herrscher Core, and the result...

Obviously, the Herrscher Core of the new civilization era are no longer restricted. As long as the adaptability is sufficient, they can be used in almost any way. For example, wasn't Old Yang the Herrscher Core he inherited from Joyce?

In short, being able to use the Herrscher Core of the new civilization era is a good thing, as the biggest obstacle limiting my strength has been removed.

And most importantly...

If I had the Herrscher Core, I could improve the Honkai Energy Adaptability of my waifus anytime, anywhere, whether it's Erie, Little Li Zi, or the Slacking Twins!

Unfortunately, Sirin only has one Herrscher Core right now, so she can't take it!

But why does she only have one Herrscher Core?

Ling Xi observed Sirin and finally came up with a possibility: the Honkai God felt that Sirin was unreliable and that giving her more cores would be a waste. In the end, Sirin might even hand over the Herrscher Core to him to aid the enemy. That's why the Honkai God didn't give Sirin more cores this time.

So be it. No core, no core. At worst, I can just grow up slowly, like I did five hundred years ago. Anyway, with the Immortal and Sirin here, I don't need to lift a finger, although those two might very well fight each other...

But I'm too lazy to care anymore, let them do what they want, as long as they don't destroy the house!

Chapter 619 Anti-Entropy Invites a Banquet, Xi Ling Attends!

"I didn't expect it to feel so good..."

Meanwhile, Fu Hua had already thoroughly enjoyed rubbing against Bebedragon, and Bebedragon's existence gave Fu Hua a new understanding of Honkai Beast.

"Snort..."

Seeing her own Bebedragon looking so spineless, Sirin was already thinking of throwing it away. You are my dragon, how can I let others mess with you?

"Ling Xi, I'm hungry. What should we have for lunch?"

However, at this moment, Sirin didn't want to say anything to Bebedragon, lest she appear petty, and besides...

She was feeling a bit hungry now, after all, she had fought with that traitor last night and then went on a business trip to the moon, so she had only eaten one piece of cake that Cecilia had given her since last night.

Lunch?

Ling Xi thought for a moment and then smiled and said, "Then let's go out to eat. You can eat whatever you want, it's on me."

"Okay!"

Sirin completely agreed with this. Although there was a kitchen in the house, it had been almost never used since she moved in, except for the occasional late-night snack when Ling Xi would cook noodles for Sirin.

After all, there's a street right downstairs for breakfast, and lunch is something you don't have to worry about at all in Shenzhou!

The only problem is late-night snacks, since food delivery services haven't been invented yet.

Then, Sirin looked at Bella and said with a smile, "Bella, we're going out to eat. You stay home and look after the house."

"Huh?"

Bella was immediately bewildered and asked, "Your Majesty, why?"

Although Bella, as Honkai Beast, doesn't need to eat and can survive as long as there's Honkai Energy, but...

She likes human food too, after all, she now has a human body and mind, so... she also wants to eat delicious food!

"Hmph, what do you think?"

Sirin glared at Bella, then looked at Bella's wings.

Bella "..." Waaah...

Bella could only accept this answer. After all, Her Majesty the Queen needed to remain hidden in human society, waiting for the right moment to act, while her own wings, which could not be retracted, would obviously be exposed.

"Sirin, don't be like that."

Seeing Bella's depressed look, Ling Xi felt a little sorry for her and said with a smile, "Actually, it's not that Bella can't go out. At most, she'll get some attention, but basically no one will take it seriously. They'll just treat her as decoration."

"Yes, yes, Your Majesty."

Seeing that Ling Xi actually spoke up for her, Bella's favorability towards her immediately soared, and she also looked at Sirin with some anticipation.

"Well... since Ling Xi has said so, then alright."

Seeing that Ling Xi had said so, Sirin could only nod in agreement in the end. After all, she was worried that Bella would be exposed, which was why she didn't want Bella to come along. It was definitely not because Bella had been hurt by Fu Hua earlier that she was deliberately targeting her. Yes, that's it!
