Yata-raven? Smack-Gone! / Miss Raven, You Wouldn't Want the Children to Be Unable to Go to School, Would You?

After Kiana and Duckling left headquarters, the house became much quieter. Since her two younger sisters had gone to the St. Freya Academy, Kiana was a little bored at home, feeling like she had no playmates. After all...

Seele and Wendy are always by Ling Xi's side, while the Arlene sisters can play by themselves and are too naughty!

So Kiana ended up spending time with Rita. Since their two previous trips to the Quantum Sea, their relationship had actually been quite good, except for one thing that made Kiana a little unhappy...

Rita also seems to have feelings for Ling Xi.

Shortly after, Kiana officially became the fourth active S-rank Valkyrie of Schicksal, and Otto also entrusted Kiana with the Black Abyss White Flower. Meanwhile...

The Valkyrie Squad Blade of Immortality, is formed, with Kiana as a teammate, Rita as the vice-captain, and Ling Xi as her direct subordinate!

Seeing this, Ling Xi was stunned. Good heavens... your name, my name, and then your name again, right?

Unexpectedly, it still came to this. Although the real Kiana didn't change her name to Bianca Durandal, she still stayed at headquarters and even formed a couple with Sister Ta, remaining the captain and vice-captain of the Blade of Immortality...

The original three families have also reunited at the St. Freya Academy.

Hmm... This Imaginary Tree's correction of history is quite impressive!

Chapter 684 Raven's Nest? Snap, gone!

"Wow, Seele is that amazing?"

That day, Ling Xi was sitting on the sofa in his living room, stroking Seele's chin while watching Seele and Wendy play a game. The result...

Wendy lost again.

"Yes, Seele is amazing..."

Wendy was also a little annoyed; she felt like the least capable person in the family.

"Hehe, it's mainly Sister Bronya is too amazing. Seele has only learned a little bit of the basics."

Seele smiled, looking somewhat happy.

"By the way, Ling Xi, when is Sister Bronya coming back?"

Speaking of Bronya, Seele thought of this question. Since the Honkai of Changkong City, Bronya has been gone for two months, and Seele misses her older sister a little.

"Hmm..."

Hearing Seele ask this question, Wendy also looked at Ling Xi with some curiosity. Clearly, she seemed to be very curious about this question as well!

After all, when Ling Xi brought her back from that experiment, Bronya and Seele were the ones who took the best care of her, and Wendy also accepted Bronya as her older sister; the three of them had a very good relationship...

"Forehead..."

Seeing the two little girls in her arms asking about the whereabouts of another little girl, Ling Xi knew that Bronya would eventually be hers, but she was still a little annoyed. Her wings...

Although it's not tied yet, I have to say that Bronya, the queen of Honkai 3rd's harem, truly lives up to her reputation!

"I don't know, but..."

Ling Xi stroked her chin and said, "It should last for a while, but you'll have to ask her for the exact time when they'll be back. After all, they both stayed at the St. Freya Academy voluntarily. If they don't want to come back, can I just kidnap them?"

"I see..."

Seele nodded silently and said, "Then when I play with Sister Bronya tonight, Seele about it."

"Seele, you can't get distracted when you're playing games."

Wendy chuckled softly, "After all Seele, you always choose a 'noob' Yao, so you don't have to control her. But... Sister Bronya, as the ADC, has a lot of pressure."

Seele: "..." What's wrong with being a slacker? Did I eat your rice?

Besides, at least Sister Bronya is willing to let me hang out with her, unlike some people who want to hang out but don't even have anywhere to hang out with.

"Beep beep..."

Suddenly, a communication signal flashed before Ling Xi's eyes; it was a message from Otto's office...

"Bite!"

Ling Xi immediately answered the call.

"Hmm..."

Seeing this, Seele seemed to want to get off Ling Xi's lap. After all, she was still a little reserved in front of outsiders, especially since the other party was the Bishop of Schicksal!

"Hmph, trying to leave?"

As a result, Ling Xi immediately wrapped his arm around Seele's slender waist, not allowing the girl to leave his embrace...

Seele "..."

Finally, Seele gave up struggling.

"Lord Ling Xi."

With the communication established, the first person Ling Xi saw was Amber, who was still in Otto's office, handling almost Schicksal for Otto.

"Huh? Is Amber looking for me?"

Ling Xi was slightly surprised to see Amber, because Amber usually contacted her through her private communication system.

"Hey, old friend..."

Before Amber could answer, Otto squeezed in. He was about to say something when he saw Ling Xi still holding Seele. He immediately laughed and said, "I have to say, old friend, your life is truly enviable. You can hold and cuddle such a cute little Seele as you please!"

"Ugh..."

Seele blushed instantly and tried to struggle away, but Ling Xi held her too tightly, so she could only lower her head and pretend to be an ostrich.

"Hehe, if Bishop Otto wants to be envious, he can do it anytime, can't he? For example..."

Ling Xi smiled slightly and said, "I think Miss Amber seems to have this intention quite well. Besides... isn't Miss Amber based on someone's image?"

"Then please spare me. If Kallen finds out in the future, I'll be finished."

Otto waved his hand. As Kallen's only supporter, there was no way he would do anything to betray Kallen!

"Ahem, Your Excellency, Lord Ling Xi, please get to the point!"

Amber couldn't stand it anymore. These two, one a Bishop of Schicksal, and the other someone whose influence was completely different from that of a bishop, always talked about strange things when they got together.

"Oh, right, I almost forgot about the important matter."

Otto then realized what was going on and said, "It's like this, old friend. The mercenary you mentioned looking for last time, named Raven, has reappeared. She's currently in the East District of Changkong City. It seems she's even set up a shantytown there where a dozen orphans live together. The Schicksal forces have already locked onto her movements. Should we bring her back?"

"Raven?"

Ling Xi paused for a moment, then suddenly remembered, Raven, one of the members of the Raven's Nest, oh, speaking of which...

When did I ever say I was going to find the Raven? Um...

Oh right, it seems like back in 2009 when I was thinking about breaking up the couple, I casually mentioned Raven to Amber. I never imagined... five years have passed, and I'd completely forgotten about her, yet Amber still remembered, and...

Unexpectedly, the Raven's first real appearance was actually in Changkong City, and... just like in the game, it established a small camp Changkong City.

"Raven, whose real name is Natasha Sciola, is a professional mercenary who has been employed by the World Serpent Organization for a long time!"

Amber had already sent over Raven's information, and added, "According to Schicksal's investigation, Raven doesn't fall into the 'bad guy' category, and he has never harmed innocent people while carrying out missions. He even occasionally saves some people, making him a potential candidate!"

"But according to the information, the other party's offer is extremely high. If it is calculated on an hourly basis, the salary level has exceeded that of a Rank A Valkyrie of Schicksal and reached the level of a Rank S Valkyrie!"

"Oh..."

Upon hearing this answer, Otto stroked his chin slightly and chuckled, "Indeed, my old friend, your judgment has always been excellent. I think Raven a good candidate. So, how about I recruit him into Schicksal?"

Ling Xi "..."

"Um, I think Bishop Otto, you might have misunderstood. I have no connection with Raven..."

Ling Xi was about to explain that when he mentioned Raven back then, he only wanted to take down Raven's Nest as a side project, not because he had any particular feelings for Raven. Although that girl had a good figure and was pretty, but...

Hmm... it doesn't seem like a bad idea, after all, isn't that girl Valkyrie's on board the ship?

Moreover... Raven's intelligence-gathering abilities are very useful to me, anyway...

"Cough cough!"

Ling Xi removed Seele from his lap and said to Amber, "Amber, prepare a small warship for me. I plan to... personally persuade Raven to join Schicksal!"

Amber: "..." Are you trying to persuade someone? I'm too embarrassed to call you out on it...

Seele: "..." So, love can disappear, right?

Chapter 685 Miss Raven, you wouldn't want the children to be unable to go to school, would you?

"Don't worry, Little Kong, I'll definitely help you bring it next time I come back."

"Yes, I believe in the teacher."

In the eastern district of Changkong City, a woman with red eyes and gray hair was chatting with a little girl with red eyes and pink hair. In the shantytown where the two were, there were about a dozen other children. They were all survivors of the Third Honkai Eruption, and they had all been rescued by Raven and brought here to live.

"Whoosh..."

Suddenly, the sound of a spaceship engine came from afar. Raven quickly looked over and saw that it was a small transport ship of Schicksal that was preparing to land.

"Little Kong, take everyone back inside. No one is allowed to come out without my permission."

Upon seeing Schicksal's ship appear, Raven immediately became alert. Although he and Schicksal weren't true enemies, being a mercenary inevitably meant doing things that broke the law, so...

Raven knew very well that his name was most likely on Schicksal's wanted list.

"Eh..."

Kong hesitated for a moment, but still nodded obediently, "I understand, teacher."

She knew very well that she and the others couldn't help the teacher in any way; hiding away and not causing trouble for the teacher was already the greatest help they could offer.

Then, Sora led the other children into the house, while Raven loaded her weapon and silently walked toward the landing site of the spaceship, intending to meet the other side.

Soon, the spaceship successfully landed on an open area about 100 meters away from the cabin, with Raven's spaceship parked nearby. Clearly, this should be the landing pad for this survival point.

Raven simply stood a short distance away, silently watching everything unfold. The spaceship landed, the hatch opened, and a man in plain clothes stepped out...

"Um?"

The moment Raven saw the other person, it seemed to remember something, and felt... that they looked familiar?

"Oh, Miss Raven, did you come all this way to pick me up?"

Seeing that the Raven had actually come over on its own initiative, Ling Xi smiled and walked towards it.

"Ling Xi?"

At that moment, Raven remembered that the person in front of him was Ling Xi, the number two figure in Schicksal, one of the executors of Anti-Entropy, and moreover...

Her own strength is also unfathomable. Although she has not made many moves, in the two recorded instances, she once wiped out nearly a hundred Honkai Beast in three minutes and another time she wiped out three hundred Honkai Beast in fifteen minutes. Both of these were the results of Ling Xi's solo efforts!

According to some enthusiasts, Ling Xi's strength may even surpass that of several S-rank Valkyrie in Schicksal!

"Oh, it seems Miss Raven actually knows me. That makes things much easier."

Seeing that Raven recognized him, Ling Xi was slightly surprised, but not too much of an astonishment. Years ago, he had chosen to be high-profile in order to get Seele's attention, but...

Who knew that Seele didn't have any memories of the Previous Era?

Therefore, he is a well-known figure in the world, so it is not surprising that a mercenary like Raven would recognize him.

"Whoosh..."

Seeing that the other party was indeed Ling Xi, Raven silently put away her weapon, because she knew very well that her strength was probably nothing more than a lamb to the slaughter in front of Ling Xi.

Moreover, Raven did not sense any hostility from Ling Xi, so Ling Xi was probably not there to capture or kill him. As a mercenary, he should have that much insight.

"So, what business does the renowned Lord Ling Xi have with a nobody like me? It can't be a request, can it?"

Although he knew Ling Xi meant him no harm, Raven remained wary of Ling Xi. It was just an occupational hazard of his.

"Well..."

Ling Xi instantly teleported to Raven's side and smiled slightly, "It's like this, I hope you can become one of my people."

Raven "???"

"Ahem, what I mean is, I hope you will become my subordinate, or you could say join Schicksal."

Ling Xi quickly explained that although she did have her own ideas, she believed that things should be done step by step.

"I'm sorry, I can't do that."

Raven refused without hesitation, saying, "I have many children to raise and need to earn money to support them, so... I'm sorry, Lady Ling Xi, you can contact me if you have any requests, but I don't want to join Schicksal."

I understand your concerns!
