Spending the Night at St. Freya! / So, Bug, You Think You're Pretty Brave, Huh?

"Mmm..."

Suddenly, Seele sensed something, and without even turning around, she knew what had happened...

"Captain..."

Seele broke free from Black Seele's attack and looked back at Ling Xi with some grievance. How could she take advantage of someone in distress like that?

"Don't even think about escaping!"

Black Seele, however, hugged Seele tightly, preventing the girl from escaping, and kissed her again...

"Mmm..."

As a result, Seele was successfully besieged by Ling Xi and Black Seele.

"Awoo..."

A moment later, Black Seele also suddenly exclaimed, because... Seele, who had just been surrounded and attacked, was now...

"Um, could you let me get up first?"

Black Seele sensed something was off.

"Don't leave..."

This time, Seele pinned Black Seele down. "Weren't you enjoying grabbing me just now? Now... Hmph, trying to escape?"

Thus, the balance of offense and defense shifted!

At this point, Ling Xi realized that she didn't actually enjoy the cute girls sticking together; rather, she enjoyed joining in when they did it...

When there was only Seele, Ling Xi only knew the situation of being surrounded from both sides. But now that there are two Seele, Ling Xi has successfully experienced the feeling of being ambushed from all sides. Sure enough, going to Old Yang to Reason Herrscher Core was definitely the right choice!

And so, what was originally a fake trip for three became a real trip for three. In the following days, both White Seele and Black Seele seemed more relaxed and at ease than at the beginning, and began to fully enjoy the pleasure of the trip.

As for the fact that their time alone together had turned into three, neither Seele really cared, since they were all Seele after all.

In the end, Ling Xi's original intention was to give Black Seele the Death Herrscher Core, making her an inherited version of the Herrscher of Death, so she wouldn't have to come to him every day to replenish her energy, but...

Black Seele said she wanted the Death Herrscher Core, but replenishing energy... well, she still had to continue!

Therefore, Ling Xi could only painfully replenish Black Seele's energy every day!

Moreover, Black Seele would occasionally absorb energy in different ways; anyway... as long as the energy was absorbed into her stomach, that was fine.

The three of them traveled for more than half a month before finally deciding to go home. During this time, Ling Xi also gained a thorough understanding of the physical structure of the two Seele's, after all...

If Black Seele disappears in the future, can't I just recreate her?

Therefore, it is very necessary to learn more about their physical structure.

Chapter 698 Spending the Night in St. Freya!

After traveling for half a month, Ling Xi decided to take the two Seele back home. After all, if she didn't go back soon, her family's wives would probably come and kill her!

However, before returning, Ling Xi also brought the two Seele to the St. Freya Academy to see the three starter Pokémon.

"Sister Bronya!"

In Himeko's dormitory, Seele jumped right into Bronya's arms and said with a happy smile, "It's been so long since I've seen Sister Bronya."

"Yes, Seele, it's been a long time."

Bronya smiled upon seeing her Seele sister, then looked at Ling Xi with some curiosity—or rather, at the other red-and-black-haired Seele beside Ling Xi ...

"Seele, aren't you going to say hello?"

Ling Xi smiled as she looked at Black Seele beside her. Although Black Seele shouldn't have much of a relationship with Bronya, but...

In a sense, Bronya should also be considered Black Seele sister, since Black Seele has the memories of White Seele over the years.

"Hmm..."

Black Seele pursed her lips, but still walked over and smiled, "Nice to meet you, Sister Bronya. My name is Seele, but... you can call me Black Seele."

"Eh..."

Bronya was immediately confused. What... what was going on?

Seele was hugging herself, but... the aura emanating from this Black Seele was also completely Seele's aura.

"Captain!"

At this moment, the Kiana- version Kiana also ran downstairs and jumped directly into Ling Xi's arms, laughing, "Damn it, you haven't come to play with me for so long, have you already forgotten about me?"

"How could that be?"

Ling Xi patted Kiana's hair and smiled, "I have a lot of work to do at headquarters, especially after the Doctor woke up. My work has become even busier. I have to work until one or two in the morning every night, and sometimes I can't even get any sleep, so..."

Ling Xi said in a righteous tone, "It's not that I don't want to come and play with you, it's just that I really don't have time."

"Hmph..."

The little Kiana pouted, "Okay, I understand..."

In this timeline, because the Kiana was raised by Cecilia, she wasn't as willful as in the original story. However, Ling Xi still sensed a strong bug-like presence. Sure enough, as long as this girl stayed with Mei, then...

The smell of insects immediately came through.

Well, what can you do? Mei is the legendary "useless girl raised by a master".

"Heh, if you want to find me, you can always come back to headquarters."

While stroking the hair that Kiana had given her, Ling Xi laughed and said, "Besides, you were the ones who wanted to come to the St. Freya Academy in the first place, and it's been two years now."

"Because we want to grow."

Kiana smiled slightly and said, "After all... if we stay by Mom's side all the time, we can only grow up with Mom's help. But... I don't have my sister's talent, so... that's why we thought of coming to Aunt's academy and growing up on our own."

"Mmm, that's great."

Ling Xi also encouraged Kiana, saying with a smile, "However, your talent is in no way inferior to your sister's, and may even be stronger."

"Hehe, I hope so..."

Kiana scratched his head, chuckled, and then suddenly said, "Oh, right, Captain, I'm going back to headquarters next month to take the S-rank Valkyrie assessment. Then... hehe, I'll be an S-rank Valkyrie, and my family..."

With her hands on her hips and a proud look on her face, Kiana said, "Mom, sister, and me, a total of three S-class Valkyrie, whether Schicksal is chaotic or not, we'll decide."

Ling Xi "..."

To be honest, both Elysia and Sakura could easily beat you up...

After all, the three of them were just Valkyrie. Kiana and the Kiana had also been injected with the Hypervariable Factor, but because they hadn't received their own enhancements, their potential hadn't reached its limit. However...

Shigure Kira, Cheng Lixue, Elysia, Sakura, Yae Sakura, and Immortal Fu Hua —their Honkai Energy Adaptability has already reached its theoretical limit. Apart from the Finality and the Restraint, they can easily defeat other Herrscher!

In short, the human forces in this timeline have already grown to an unbelievable size, and the Honkai is no longer a threat.

But at the same time, Ling Xi was also worried about something else. After all, the Honkai would balance the combat power, so...

If the power on the human side becomes too overwhelming, it's hard to guarantee that a fully-fledged Herrscher won't emerge, which means...

The kind of fully-fledged Herrscher of the Wendy in Honkai Impact 2!

If Herrscher of that caliber really appears, then things will get complicated...

Hmm, that's probably unlikely. After all, the two have different settings. Honkai Impact 2 really wanted to destroy civilization, while Honkai Impact 3 was a test for civilization, so... it shouldn't be that bad.

Of course, Ling Xi couldn't completely ignore this situation, so among Mobius's many plans, a new Project Ark was also prepared, but this time it wouldn't be like the first one.

Due to time constraints and resource allocation issues, they could only build a small spaceship to take Griseo to an unknown star system!

This time, the Doctor's plan is to build a lunar-class starship. If humanity loses, they'll escape; if humanity wins, then...

Starships can also serve as a means of transportation for human exploration of the universe. In short, humanity will definitely go to the universe. If we stay on Earth forever, we will eventually perish due to resource depletion.

That evening, at the enthusiastic invitation of Theresa and others, Ling Xi chose to stay at the St. Freya Academy for the night. Originally, Ling Xi thought that Seele would go to keep Bronya, and as for Black Seele... hehe, she'll continue to replenish her energy tonight.

Unexpectedly, Bronya's charm was so powerful that not only did she get along so well with Seele, but she even... eventually attracted Black Seele as well. And so...

The three decided to sleep together that night, as for Ling Xi...

"Damn it, I'll remember this grudge."

At night, Ling Xi lay alone in the room that Mei had helped tidy up and decorate, hugging her pillow like an abandoned puppy...

I've almost forgotten how long it's been since I've had a moment of peace and quiet by myself. When I was at home, there was always someone coming over, no matter what night it was, and the four pink-haired girls were frequent visitors. But now...

Damn it, can we put up with this?

Bronya, huh? The queen of the Honkai 3rd harem, huh? Hmph, just you wait, sooner or later I'll make you join the Bronya/Bronya fandom, and then...

I'll make you kneel on the ground and sing "Conquer".

"Knock knock..."

Suddenly, Ling Xi heard a knock on the door.

"Please come in."

Ling Xi responded casually.

"Crack..."

Because Ling Xi hadn't locked the door, it was opened directly, and then...

"Captain, are you asleep?"

A white-haired creature peeks out...

Ling Xi: "???" (Kiana?)

Chapter 699 So, you're saying Kiana, you're pretty brave?

"Hey, Captain, good evening."

Kiana chuckled, then cautiously entered the room, making sure to close the door behind her.

"Hey, what are you doing here so late at night instead of sleeping?"

Ling Xi also sat up from the bed, looking at the girl with some curiosity.

"I can't sleep."

Kiana answered casually, then sat down on Ling Xi's bedside in a very familiar manner, and said with a smile, "After all, the captain is going back tomorrow, so I want to spend more time with the captain."

"Oh..."

Ling Xi just smiled and gently stroked Kiana's hair. "It's not like we'll never see each other again, why are you so excited? Besides... didn't you say you'd be coming to headquarters soon for the S-rank Valkyrie assessment? You can stay home after the assessment."

"Then let's forget about it."

Kiana shook her head and smiled, "As Auntie said, the headquarters' combat power is already severely saturated. In comparison, there are very few powerful Valkyrie in other regions, so they need to be evenly distributed so that they can arrive at the scene as soon as possible after the Honkai disaster occurs."

"Oh, even our Kiana knows this principle now."

Ling Xi immediately feigned surprise and laughed, "Looks like you haven't wasted your years of studying."

"Captain, don't treat me like an idiot."

Kiana immediately looked angry, wondering why Ling Xi always treated her like an idiot, and... what's with the nickname "Kiana"?

"Hehe, just kidding, just kidding."

Ling Xi quickly raised her hands in surrender, but she couldn't help feeling a little emotional. The "Kiana" raised by her mother-in-law was far better in both personality and experience than Kiana "Chongchong" in the original story who was left to fend for herself by Siegfried. Although Ling Xi felt that this "Kiana" had somewhat lost her original charm, but...

That's fine too, after all, the Kiana wasn't stupid to begin with, it was just spoiled by Mei in the original story.

After being beaten up by Mei, it evolved directly from Ciliate into a firefly.

"Snort..."

Seeing this, Kiana had no choice but to give up. What else could she do? Beat this guy up? Putting aside whether she was willing to do it, the key point was that she simply couldn't beat him.

Ling Xi watched Kiana silently, a slight smile on her lips. Although she hadn't given Kiana a perfectly happy life, her life now was probably better than in the original story.

She didn't suffer Siegfried's cold treatment during those years, nor did she become a wanderer. Although this meant she experienced far less, but...

Ling Xi would rather she be like this, growing up like a normal child!

Why is the captain looking at me like that?

When Chongchong noticed that Ling Xi was staring straight at her, Kiana became a little nervous.
