Chapter 167

And it was mentioned more than once.

However, Centaurea had no real sense of it.

Even Centaurea, a popular idol, is still a struggling working-class girl; she's miserable enough on her own.

So now that she's finally arrived at another Worldline, Centaurea naturally wants to see and verify whether the other "her" Chen Ran mentioned is really that miserable.

Then Centaurea found out, and it was indeed terrible.

In this Worldline, Centaurea continues the same path: graduating from university, participating in the knight selection, being blocked from receiving a knight title by the Commercial Federation, forced to throw matches, and nearly dying in the arena.

The turning point in her life was when Centaurea in this Worldline accepted the invitation from the Unarmored Alliance, became Platinum Seat, and began her life as a Hinterleaver.

She had no divine help, no awakened Time Stop abilities, and no encounter with her mistress Zofia.

As a result, she did all the dirty and hard work, took the blame and was always the one being shifted onto; she received no pay, and workplace bullying happened every day.

This is terrible...

This was so outrageous that Centaurea couldn't stand it anymore. She used Time Stop to rush forward and beat up the two Lapis Lazuli Seat. She then killed several directors of the Commercial Federation and left a note, explicitly and implicitly suggesting that she, in this Worldline, should seek help from Zofia in this Worldline.

After finishing all that, Centaurea returned to find her Former Young Lady, Zofia, yelling that she was going to deduct her wages again.

"Are you really alright?" Zofia was no longer in the mood for jokes and asked again.

"Of course something's wrong," Centaurea said. "Who would be happy to come back only to hear they're getting their pay docked?"

"I'm telling you... put your hand on your heart and tell me, when have I ever actually deducted your salary? It's always just talk, isn't it? Really..." Zofia couldn't help but sigh.

But Centaurea remained expressionless and said, "I have a conscience, but I can't touch it. Former Young Lady, you have such a big conscience, why don't you touch it yourself?"

"What do you mean by having a big conscience? What are you talking about?"

Zofia clearly didn't understand Centaurea's lame joke, and she instinctively asked,

As soon as she finished asking the question, she saw Centaurea look down at her flat chest, then look up at her slender branches laden with fruit, and even smack her lips in a "tsk" sound.

Zofia: "?"

Zofia was taken aback at first, then blushed.

Is that what you call conscience? What you're talking about is clearly milk... cough.

Zofia was so angry she wanted to reach out and pinch Centaurea's ear, but then she realized something was wrong with Centaurea's mood, so she held back and said, "What I mean is, Centaurea, you look... like you've discovered that others are having a harder time than you, and that's why you realize how happy you are, and then you start to feel insecure..."

"Miss, can you stop talking like a house cat that's used to being pampered and rich, started to yearn for freedom, ran away to wander for a few days, suffered a lot, and then was found and brought home by its owner. Now it's showing off its food like crazy, not being picky about food anymore, and starting to cling to its owner?"

"... When did I make it sound so serious..."

Zofia was a little embarrassed by what she was being said, "But hearing you say that... does this mean that you in this Worldline are really having a hard time?"

"Indeed, but they should be living a life of luxury and wealth soon, right?"

After all, if she's not stupid in this Worldline, she should know to cling to Zofia in this Worldline.

However, Zofia's criticism wasn't entirely wrong.

The reason Centaurea didn't meet with her counterpart in this Worldline was because she was worried that her counterpart in this Worldline wouldn't be able to handle the blow.

This can lead to thoughts such as, "You're enjoying yourself while I'm being treated like a beast of burden," "What's the point of living like this?" or "I might as well just die."

After all, you know yourself best.

Thinking of this, Centaurea silently changed the subject. "So what about that Lecherous Evil God? He's not planning to come and pick us up yet?"

"Huh? Ah..." Zofia was stunned for a moment before saying, "I don't know. I always feel like that god has forgotten about us."

"Forgot? That's easy."

After saying that, Centaurea immediately activated Time Stop.

Centaurea does indeed not fly, nor does it have any means of being highlighted.

But--

Centaurea reached out and ripped open the top of her breasts, then pulled down her sports bra underneath.

Then, facing the sun, Centaurea expressionlessly emitted a soft, unintelligible hum through her nose.

So it was almost at the same time.

Chen Ran, who was still arguing with Little Watermelon, suddenly saw the semi-transparent pop-up window flashing in front of him:

"Centaurea is engaging in exhibitionism"

Chen Ran: "?"

What is that?

What do you think that Little Platinum is doing?

Such explosive news naturally drew Chen Ran's attention to the planet model.

Reach out, zoom in, zoom out.

However, it was too late, because Centaurea had already put the lid off the breast.

Even when Centaurea saw Chen Ran appear, the corners of her originally expressionless mouth turned up a few degrees, and then she opened her small mouth and silently uttered the words "old pervert".

This naturally made Chen Ran raise an eyebrow.

Although he didn't know what the Little Platinum was up to, Chen Ran still reached out his hand towards the planet model.

The Time Stop is lifted.

Zofia, unaware of what had just happened, saw the sky shatter again, and then a giant hand reached out towards her and Centaurea's direction.

Zofia naturally knew that the large hand belonged to Chen Ran, and said, "Eh? Has that god remembered us? Centaurea, Centaurea, that god has come to take us away—wait, Centaurea, what are you doing?!"

When everyone, including Zofia, looked up at the sky because of the god's reappearance,

Only Centaurea was reaching out, adjusting her breasts and the sports bra beneath them.

"It's just a ritual to summon that Lecherous Evil God." Centaurea lowered her hand and turned to look at him. "What are you making such a fuss about Former Young Lady?"

"Am I making a fuss over nothing? And what is a summoning ritual?"

"You really want to know, Former Young Lady?"

"... No, never mind..."

While Zofia and Centaurea were chatting idly, Chen Ran reached out and grabbed both of them, one in each hand, and pulled them back to Zofia Centaurea positions.

Chen Ran placed Zofia on the table first, but still held Centaurea in his hand.

After all, that Little Platinum had just been pulling up the breast cup, smirking, and calling him an "old pervert," which was undoubtedly a provocation. They needed to strike hard.

But before Chen Ran could speak, he saw the Little Platinum girl, Centaurea, slightly part her lips and say, "Lecherous Evil God, I want a massage."

"Massage?" Chen Ran looked slightly surprised and said, "Little Platinum, are you serious?"

The so-called massage was, in Chen Ran and Centaurea's slang,

The real meaning is actually "let's start a game," which is Sese's invitation.

Even though she knew that was what it meant, Centaurea still nodded. "Yes, massage."

Chapter 252 Let's make Little Platinum bigger first, then give her a massage.

Chen Ran was genuinely confused as to why Little Platinum had become even more clingy than usual after going out for a while.

Fortunately, Chen Ran was a kind-hearted person. He neither pressed for details nor refused the Little Platinum's request.

Instead, Chen Ran reached into the small box first and took out a halo.

I tapped the halo with my fingertip.

And so there were those halos of light, the Demon King Rabbit searching for people in Kazdel; the Savior Cat busy connecting the Angel Line and Normal Line; and Mylnar busy relocating his people—

Almost simultaneously, the women received a notification from Chen Ran:

"Empathy is about to be activated. If you're not planning a party, turn it off. If you are planning a party, find a quiet place to enjoy yourself."

After giving the reminder, Chen Ran placed the halo on Centaurea's head.

As Centaurea tilted her head back, looking at the halo above her head with a curious expression, Chen Ran went to the side:

"Did Auntie rob someone's store? How come she has all kinds of clothes? Oh my, why are there men's clothes too?"

Chen Ran rummaged through the items Zofia had purchased and found a short skirt and short-sleeved shirt made of what was supposedly 'ice silk' material.

Then Chen Ran handed the clothes to Centaurea: "Alright, Little Platinum, you can change into these. Your young lady bought everything, but she didn't buy any stockings. Little Platinum, you can just wear your old ones. Oh well, there's nothing I can do."

"My Former Young Lady didn't buy any stockings, which pleases you, you Lecherous Evil God, doesn't it? After all, the original can't compare to the original sound, right?"

Centaurea didn't ask Chen Ran why he wanted her to change clothes. She simply lifted the top of her breasts without hesitation and put the short-sleeved dress on.

The change of clothes was so fast that Little Watermelon, who was far away, didn't even have time to blush or shout, "What are you doing?!" before it was over.

Centaurea was also well-behaved.

Although she didn't know what Chen Ran was trying to do by making such a big show of things.

But after changing her clothes and while waiting for the massage, Centaurea proactively took off her shoes.

Then, wearing only white stockings, Centaurea sat on the edge of the table, swinging her little feet as she waited for Chen Ran to finish.

Chen Ran had already received replies from those people:

The Demon King Rabbit and Kal'tsit, naturally, turned off empathy.

Heart of the Corrupted Skadi didn't respond, so she probably really ignored it.

"But Miumiu... she turned off Empathy at first, but why is she turning it back on now?"

Although I don't know if Mylnar is again burying her head in the sand, pretending "she's only driving it secretly for a little while," if Mylnar wants to drive it, then let her drive it.

Thinking this, Chen Ran turned his head and frowned when he saw Centaurea sitting at the table. "Little Platinum, why did you take off your shoes? Put them back on."

"Ah?"

Centaurea was a little confused. "Wouldn't it be more convenient for you to do things if you took off your shoes? Why are you wearing them? Ugh... I really don't understand you."

But since Chen Ran had said so, Centaurea had no choice but to sigh and get up, putting her shoes back on.

Centaurea pointed to her toes before turning her head to look at her. "So, should I lie here now, or will you reach out your hand?"

No rush.

Chen Ran did not choose between the two options, but instead spread his hands and conjured a Black Crown.

"The time when that Wishdale rebelled against the Heavenly Gang and shouted 'I'm going to rape you, you dog,' it gave me some inspiration."

What did Wishdale do back then?

The first step is to use Black Crown's abilities to create a clone of a body.

The second step is to attach your consciousness to it.

The third step: rape!

So, having already given Centaurea a halo, Chen Ran reached out and placed a Black Crown on her head.

Then Chen Ran taught Centaurea step by step how to use the Black Crown.

Fortunately, Centaurea wasn't stupid and quickly learned how to do it.

Then, a body that was 160cm tall, with an unstable shape, as if it might shatter at any moment, appeared in front of Chen Ran.

"..." Centaurea raised her hand, looking at her body, her expression subtle and helpless. "You went to all this trouble to come up with these strange and bizarre methods just to be able to be with SeSe... It's really tough on you."

"Thank you for the compliment, but you should say that to Wishdale. Who knows what's going on in that clever little brain of hers?"

Chen Ran looked at the Centaurea, who, despite being a 160cm tall life-size figure, was still a head shorter than him, and smiled as he stretched out his hand:

"Alright, Little Platinum, didn't you want a massage? Come on, let's go to the sofa over there."

"Although I really want to ask you right now whether this 'massage' is legitimate or not... Ah, wait a minute."

Knowing where Chen Ran had taken the halo from, Centaurea stepped forward, reached out, and took one out.

This overbearing attitude, this act of not treating him like an outsider, made Chen Ran about to raise an eyebrow.

However, it turned out that Centaurea didn't intend to keep the halo for herself. Instead, she leaned forward and placed the halo into the miniature model of the 'Seaside Resort Town' on the table—in the yard in front of her house.

"Little Platinum, what are you doing?"

"Didn't my Former Young Lady peek through the crack in the door during the massage before? This time, I'll save her that trouble. I'll just throw that halo in front of her. If she wants to see it, she can just put the halo on her head and be there in person, right?"
