Yae Sakura was a little embarrassed and said, "Um, husband, you absolutely can't tell anyone about this, including Rin, no... I should say especially Rin!"

Ling Xi: "..." I feel like I just heard that sentence before...

At this point, Yae Sakura didn't care whether Ling Xi agreed or not, and decisively started making milk tea herself. Self-reliance is key, right? However...

"Um?"

When Yae Sakura took the straw out of the drawer, she sensed a familiar scent...

"Has Rin been here?"

Yae Sakura immediately looked up at Ling Xi.

"Uh... just left..."

Ling Xi seemed a little conflicted, but... I'm sorry, Lin, it's not that I wanted to betray you, it's just that you, as the older sister, arrived too quickly!

Yae Sakura "..."

Of course, Yae Sakura still forced herself to drink three cups of milk tea in the end. Her younger sister was getting stronger and stronger, and she... absolutely couldn't fall behind!

"Ugh..."

After Yae Sakura left, Ling Xi clutched her lower back with a hint of sadness. Good heavens, just who are these two sisters? Even her own Sasha Gene couldn't withstand them...

"Ling Xi!"

Suddenly, the door opened, Shigure Kira rushed in, saying, "Ling Xi, I want to..."

"Qiluo, His Holiness the Bishop has something very urgent to discuss with me. We can talk about it tonight!"

Without hesitation, Ling Xi snapped her fingers and instantly escaped the scene using a spatial wormhole...

"Huh?"

Shigure Kira seemed a little confused. That guy... why did it feel like he was running away?

"Qiluo, are you done yet?"

At this moment, Sirin in the living room started calling her.

"Um, it seems Ling Xi has gone out on something!"

Shigure Kira turned around and replied.

"Then just take it."

Sirin continued, "Ling Xi's game controller is in the drawer; we can borrow it."

"Okay, I found it!"

Shigure Kira also found a game controller. Obviously, she came to Ling Xi to borrow a game controller because the one in the living room was broken. But Ling Xi didn't listen to her at all and just ran away.

Forget it, I'll just take it and return it when I'm done playing with it.

"Ugh, who the hell can handle this..."

After escaping the room, Ling Xi sighed sadly. She had thought that with the help of the Sasha Gene, fighting seven people alone would be a piece of cake, but...

Who knew that Rin would be so fierce, drinking at least ten cups of milk tea every day? Even Shesha couldn't handle that.

"Captain?"

Just then, Ling Xi heard someone calling her from behind. As for how she knew it was someone calling her, well, that was because...

The owner of that voice is Rita.

"Hey, isn't this Rita...? What a coincidence!"

Ling Xi almost called her "Sister Ta," but thankfully she corrected herself in time.

"Yes, Captain."

Rita lowered her head slightly and smiled, "It feels like such a coincidence to meet Rita here."

"Rita, what did you buy?"

Ling Xi then noticed that Rita was carrying a vegetable basket, which seemed to contain some ingredients or something.

"That's right, Captain."

Rita smiled happily and said, "These are the ingredients Rita is preparing to bake a cake. If the captain would like some, Rita can bring them to you in a little while."

"Uh, hehe, then I guess we won't need to."

Ling Xi shook her head and refused. She didn't really like cake, although the girls in her family did, but... Ling Xi felt it would be too much trouble for Rita.

"Oh, okay..."

A hint of disappointment flashed in Rita's eyes; her plan to use the cake as cover to go to the captain's house had failed.

Ling Xi naturally noticed Rita's emotional change. After all... Ling Xi was no longer the naive newbie who was easily charmed by the Doctor and Elysia; she was a seasoned veteran.

Seeing the change in Rita's eyes, Ling Xi almost instantly guessed what Rita was thinking. This girl...

"Rita, it's not that I don't want to eat, it's just..."

So, Ling Xi smiled slightly and said, "I felt it was too much trouble for you to make the cake and bring it to me, so..."

Ling Xi gently took the shopping basket from Rita's hand and said with a smile, "Come on, I'll go to your house myself and then eat your freshest baked cake!"

"Eh... okay... okay, Captain."

Rita was immediately excited and overjoyed. Finally... finally she could trick the captain into coming home, although... only temporarily!

Chapter 681 Sister Ta's First Kiss!

Before long, Ling Xi followed Rita to her home. Although strictly speaking, this wasn't Rita's home, but rather Rita dormitory,...

Even in the dormitory, it's for one person only, and it's a one-bedroom apartment. This size... seems to exceed the treatment of an ordinary trainee Valkyrie, right?

However, Ling Xi seemed to understand this situation. After all, although Rita was not someone he brought back directly, she was still somewhat related to him. So... Otto must have instructed Amber to give Rita special treatment, which is why she was able to live in such a formal Valkyrie -sized dormitory.

"Captain, please have a seat..."

Rita put the things down and gestured for Ling Xi to sit down, asking with a smile, "What would you like to drink?"

"I'd like a cup of black tea."

Thinking that this was Sister Ta's home, Ling Xi subconsciously wanted a cup of black tea, after all, black tea was Sister Ta's signature drink!

I've only ever heard about it, but I've never actually tasted it. Now that I finally have the chance, of course I have to give it a try!

"Black tea?"

However, Rita seemed to hesitate for a moment, and said with a slightly embarrassed expression, "I'm sorry, Captain, Rita's family doesn't have any black tea. If you would like some, Rita right away."

"Huh? No?"

When Ling Xi heard Rita say that she didn't have any black tea at home, Ling Xi was taken aback. Could it be that... Sister Ta hadn't mastered the art of brewing black tea yet?

"Never mind if you don't have any, just a drink will do."

Although it was a bit of a shame that she couldn't drink the black tea brewed by Sister Ta, Ling Xi didn't want to bother Rita any further.

"Yes, Captain."

Rita nodded slightly, then silently noted down the information that Ling Xi liked to drink black tea. She would learn it tomorrow, and go to Ragna to learn it. After all, she had worked in a maid café before, and black tea was a beverage served in the café.

Rita then brought Ling Xi a drink, and then asked Ling Xi to sit for a while while she went to prepare to bake a cake.

Ling Xi was sitting alone in the living room, feeling a bit bored. She had just promised Rita that she would stay and eat her baked cake, and if she left now... well, wouldn't that be a bit too impolite?

Besides, it seems like I have nowhere else to go. My family is too terrifying. I can't exactly go chat with my mother-in-law, can I? I'd rather chat with Otto.

So, because she was really bored, Ling Xi went to the kitchen to see how Rita made cakes, and if possible, she could help out, since she was really bored!

"Captain? What brings you here?"

Seeing Ling Xi enter the kitchen, Rita felt a little nervous. Although she always tried to get close to Ling Xi, she felt a little awkward when they were alone together.

"Can't I just take a look?"

Ling Xi deliberately laughed and said, "After all, I'm going to eat this cake later, so I'll supervise whether Rita has done a good job and also check if Rita has added any strange ingredients to the cake."

"Hey... hehe, Captain, you just love to joke around. How could Rita possibly add anything weird or strange?"

Rita chuckled quickly, then silently tightened her right hand.

"Heh, just kidding."

Ling Xi smiled and looked curiously at the flour in the pan. Rita had already mixed it, and now all she had to do was wait for it to rise before baking it in the oven.

"Speaking of which, Rita..."

While watching Rita make the cake, Ling Xi seemed to have something to say again.

"Captain, is there anything I can help you with?"

Rita quickly responded.

"That is..."

Ling Xi asked curiously, "Why do you call me Captain? You could just call me by my name like Kiana and the others do."

"Eh... this..."

Rita hesitated slightly, then smiled gently, "Well... because Captain is Captain. Although Rita is not your direct subordinate, Rita is still a member of the Valkyrie ranks. And Ling Xi, is it inappropriate for Rita to address you as Captain?"

"Uh... no, that's not true..."

Ling Xi felt a little embarrassed. In fact, Ling Xi also felt that Rita's way of addressing her was more appropriate. After all, that's how Rita addressed her in the game. So, Ling Xi felt that Rita calling her "Captain" was the most natural way to address her.

"So... how would you like Rita to address you, Captain?"

Rita then turned around and looked at Ling Xi with some curiosity.

"That's fine then."

Ling Xi smiled and shook her head, saying, "Rita can call me whatever she likes, I don't mind."

"Yeah?"

Rita's eyes lit up immediately, and she smiled slightly, "Then... husband?"

"Puff..."

Ling Xi almost choked on her own saliva, nearly spitting out a mouthful of blood. Good heavens, you don't learn anything else but those two pink-haired girls, huh?

"I'm sorry, Captain..."

Rita quickly handed Ling Xi a glass of water and said with a smile, "Rita was just joking. And Captain, please don't get excited. Rita won't call you that for now."

"Temporary?"

Ling Xi deliberately looked at Rita.

"That's right, for now..."

Rita also stared at Ling Xi with a smile. Captain Ragna was right. Hesitation would lead to defeat. When it was time to attack, then they had to attack.

Ling Xi: "..." Hmm, she has already begun to possess the soul of Sister Ta, but... it's not enough.

"Okay, I..."

So Ling Xi smiled slightly and said, "I can give Rita a chance, but... you're not ready yet!"

"Yes, Captain."

Rita was not discouraged at all; on the contrary, she was even more motivated and said with a smile, "Rita... will definitely satisfy you, Captain. Please... wait for Rita's arrival, Captain."

"Don't worry, I'll be waiting for you..."

Ling Xi smiled and gently lifted Rita's chin with her right hand.

"Hmm..."

At this moment, Rita's face was slightly flushed, and her heart was racing, but... she did not resist, even though she was really shy.

"Rita ..."

Ling Xi called her name softly...

"What's wrong, ship... umm..."
