"Kiana, let's hurry over there, Seele and the others are getting impatient!"

Mei quickly interrupted.

On the flat ground further away, Seele and the others were already waving in their direction.

Beside the girls stood several life-sized snowmen, each with its own distinctive style evident in the details of their decorations.

"Great!" Kiana clapped her hands, instantly forgetting what had just happened, and excitedly started making snowballs on the snow. "We have to build a super big snowman, we can't let these kids look down on us!"

"Let's help out, Hen."

As she spoke softly, Mei pushed a snowball from the side.

Hearing this suddenly unfamiliar form of address, Shi Hen couldn't help but glance at the black-haired girl with some concern.

What's going on? Shouldn't we be partners with the same goal?

But Mei was focused on pushing the snowball, leaving the boy with only a cold, indifferent back view.

"...good."

Without giving it much thought, Shi Hen nodded in agreement.

Soon, starting from this garden path, the three snowballs grew larger, leaving three parallel tracks.

Shi Hen and the others arrived at Seele's side, the three snowballs were already half the size of a person.

Moreover, the snowball Kiana made was significantly larger, reaching all the way up to the girl's lower abdomen.

Ah, the white-haired girl's competitive spirit.

Seeing the satisfied smile on the girl's face, Shi Hen shook his head and a smile involuntarily appeared on his lips.

"It's too big."

Mei frowned as she looked at the three snowballs in front of her.

Even though the snowballs she and Shi Hen made were a little smaller, they were still big enough to form the main body of a snowman.

"Hmph! Now, just watch what I have to do!"

With a smug grin, Kiana picked up the snowball with both hands and let out a sweet shout. The thick snowball, half the size of a person, immediately rose from the ground with a smooth and effortless motion.

A poem praises it: The white-haired girl has just grown up, its strength can uproot mountains and its spirit can cover the world.

"Kiana..."

Upon seeing this, Mei's eyelids twitched involuntarily.

Despite looking slender with little muscle, this kind of strength... is the other person really human?

"Kiana -san..."

With her small mouth slightly open, Seele fell into a daze.

"This guy..."

She subconsciously took a half step back, a hint of fear flashing in Xing's eyes.

Although snowflakes falling from the sky are so delicate that they can be blown away by the wind, when they are compressed, their weight should not be underestimated.

If she were to use Honkai Energy, she could do the same thing, but... this white-haired idiot is clearly using only physical strength.

She did not sense Honkai Energy.

Moreover, the other person lifted the snowball without swaying at all, as if they were holding some weightless bubble.

Undoubtedly, this amount of snowball is far from the limit for the white-haired girl.

"Kiana is so strong!"

Himeko's eyes widened as she exclaimed in genuine admiration.

"Hehe, it's nothing."

Kiana stacked the three snowballs neatly and waved her hand dismissively, as if it were nothing, but the arrogance on her face was impossible to hide.

The word "low-key and reserved" does not exist in a girl's dictionary.

"I'll put the eyes on it."

As he spoke, Shi Hen picked out a few black pebbles from the materials that Seele and the others had already collected, and gently tiptoed to embed them into the snowman's face.

The three-headed snowman was quite tall, and only he could easily reach it.

From this perspective, the white-haired girl that can lift a huge snowball above its head is indeed a bit too terrifying.

Nose, mouth, arms... as a series of parts were attached, a giant snowman, significantly larger than the surrounding snowmen, was successfully created.

"Haha~ Do you little ones see this? My snowman is the biggest!"

With her hands on her hips, Kiana laughed triumphantly.

"Damn it! You're cheating! I won't accept this!"

Xing stomped her feet and shouted.

They each built a snowman individually, but the people opposite them were three people working together.

"..."

Bronya pursed her lips, a hint of resentment in her eyes.

The Silver Wolf of the Urals never gives up easily, but this... she really couldn't build such a snowman without using Honkai Energy.

The white-haired idiot's brute force finally triumphed over the Ural Silver Wolf's wisdom.

"Kiana is so childish..."

Himeko glanced at him sideways.

He beat a group of kids who were generally two or three years younger than him to build a snowman, and he still has the nerve to be so proud?

"Forehead..."

Blinking, the smile on the white-haired girl's face suddenly froze.

Having gotten used to playing around with Seele and the others, she almost forgot that she was the only older sister.

"I'll add more clothes for it."

Ignoring the silly idiot next to her, Mei used her fingers as a brush to carefully sketch the snowman.

The young lady of the Raiden Family has always pursued excellence, so naturally she would not tolerate such a crude snowman that she helped to create.

As the girl gently traced lines with her finger, lines appeared on the snowman's body, as if it were draped in a white garment, instantly making its appearance much more lifelike.

"I'm here too!"

Having discovered the secret to overtaking on a curve, Xing quickly began modifying her snowman as well.

So what if it's big? Does this white-haired idiot snowman have the same exquisite beauty as her?

Even if the opponent is Raiden Mei, the former young lady of ME Company, Anne doesn't think she will lose.

Seeing that there was a new way to play with building snowmen, Kiana quickly perked up, rolled up her sleeves, and rubbed her hands together, ready to get started. "Then this young lady will also..."

"We don't seem to have enough pebbles. Let's go find some more from the side."

Shi Hen hurriedly grabbed the white-haired girl.

To paint clothes for a snowman, you'll definitely need pebbles and other decorations.

As a result, the materials that Seele and the others had prepared were no longer sufficient.

And Kiana, can't you have any self-awareness? Do you think you can handle this kind of delicate work?

"...All right."

Watching Mei gradually transform decay into magic, Kiana hesitated for a few seconds before deciding to follow the boy's advice.

"I'll help you too, big brother! I know where there are more stones!"

Raising her hand, Himeko pounced on Shi Hen, her blue eyes gleaming with excitement.

"Um."

Nodding gently, Shi Hen smiled and patted the girl's head.

He nuzzled the boy's palm, Himeko's eyes narrowed with joy.

What an affectionate little kitten!

Feeling the warmth emanating from the girl's soft hair, Shi Hen couldn't help but sigh.

In fact, if it weren't for Himeko behavior, he wouldn't have originally planned to have her appear this time.

It's unnecessary and could easily leave loopholes.

But taking care of children always requires some effort; you can always patch things up later.

Shi Hen was confident in his ability to control the situation, and his plan was not so fragile that it could not tolerate the slightest unexpected event.

As he thought to himself, the boy couldn't help but think of another girl far away on the other side of the ocean.

Sigh, Peggy is so much easier to manage; she can just be left outside and grow freely.

As the Behind-the-Scenes Boss, all he needed to do was instruct the World Serpent members to be careful not to implicate the other side when they were causing trouble.

The first day of missing Peggy.

Shi Hen and the others left, Seele kept glancing at Mei, and after a while she finally couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Mei, your hand?"

As the girl sketched lines on the snowman, her outstretched arm revealed a bright red patch on her wrist.

"Or, perhaps it bumped into something somewhere."

Mei hurriedly pulled down her sleeve a bit and said in as calm a tone as possible, but the slight panic in her voice could not be hidden.

As an elite warrior of the Anti-Entropy organization, Seele's insight is anything but low when she gets serious.

Moreover, even without getting a close look, the girl could still discern the shape of a human finger from that patch of red.

Clearly, those were marks left after someone gripped them tightly.

Corner, wall slam... In an instant, countless R-rated images flashed through Seele's mind.

Kiana is such a big idiot!

Silently drawing lines on the snowman's body, the girl gradually felt despair towards the white-haired girl.

They're too incompetent; I simply can't carry them.

Bronya, who was silently observing everything, understood the situation.

By this point, she was completely certain about who Shi Hen was secretly investigating.

Moreover, it was obvious that the boy had just interacted with Mei again and learned new information from her.

What news could Mei have kept hidden for nearly a month, only to finally reveal it today?

Bronya felt as if she had vaguely grasped the key.

Chapter 131 The Three Little Gossips Decide to Take Action

Shi Hen the three returned to the snowman, the girls had already finished their grooming.

And unsurprisingly, the snowman decorated by Mei stood out from the rest, as if it were wearing a white evening gown, with even layers of lace details, leaving the other three's works far behind.

The difference becomes even more pronounced when pebbles and grass are added as decorations.

"Mei is so skillful!"

Shi Hen couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

Perhaps it should be said that, as expected of the young lady of the Raiden Family, her artistic talent is truly remarkable.

In comparison, the snowman of the three little ones is very ordinary.

Yes, the common people have fallen to the point of being almost destitute.

Even Bronya's were no exception.

Clearly, artistic cultivation was not included in the mercenary training the girl received as Ural Silver Wolf.
