Wendy Still Hasn't Joined the Battle / The White-Haired Cutie Is in the Training Room
Just then, a buzzing sound suddenly rang out, and a tall, black-haired girl slowly walked out of the Elysian Realm portal.
In an instant, the two girls looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.
"... Nice new look, where did you get it done?"
Mei's gaze fell on the golden-haired Valkyrie's forehead. Mei nodded with a hint of arrogance and asked, a trace of doubt showing in her eyes.
In her memory, Durandal rarely even wore makeup, so why would she suddenly get such a mark?
Moreover, the style of this mark is a bit too cute, and it doesn't match Durandal's art style at all.
Suspicious, extremely suspicious!
"..."
Faced with Mei's question, Durandal blushed and stammered, unable to utter a single word.
Realizing something from the Valkyrie's behavior, Mei raised an eyebrow and asked, "Is it related to that guy [Welt White] again?"
A woman dresses up for the man she loves.
Clearly, the only person who could make someone like Durandal make a change on her own initiative is [Welt White].
"..."
Mei exposed Mei directly, and the usually serious Durandal blushed even more.
Upon seeing this, Mei's expression immediately became complicated.
Although I had long suspected that the relationship between the two was not normal, but... isn't this going a bit too far?
After a while, should Durandal put the mark on her lower abdomen?
Or has the other party already done so?
Thinking of this, the once dashing and heroic Honorable Knight suddenly appeared with a layer of depravity in Mei's eyes, causing the girl to unconsciously take a half step back, afraid of being tainted by the same aura.
Chapter 149 Wendy still unable to join the battle
Shi Hen Anti-Entropy his eyes, what entered his field of vision was a deep, hazy yellow glow.
Shifting his gaze, Shi Hen easily spotted a white-haired girl fast asleep beside the hospital bed.
In the afterglow of the setting sun, the girl's silvery-white hair, as white as moonlight, was tinged with layers of golden yellow, and below that was her waist, which was almost too slender.
The white T-shirt was slightly pulled up because the girl was leaning over, revealing a section of fair skin that was particularly eye-catching, making people want to pinch it.
But seeing the white-haired girl's brows furrowing slightly in its sleep, Shi Hen could only regretfully suppress his thoughts, reaching out to gently stroke the girl's head, as if to dispel all the fear in her dream.
As the boy's fingers deftly passed through her hair, Kiana seemed to feel the warmth contained within them. Her furrowed brows quickly relaxed, and a sweet smile slowly curved her lips.
After a long while, as the twilight that filled the ward gradually faded and only occupied half of the room, Kiana slowly opened her eyes and was immediately met by a pair of bright black eyes that shimmered with a golden light in the sunset.
"Mark!"
Without hesitation, she threw herself into the boy's arms, gently nuzzling her head against his chest. Kiana's voice held a touch of the innocent charm unique to girls just waking up, "I just had a really scary dream. You and Auntie are all gone, and I'm all alone in a tower, surrounded by lots of man-eating monsters..."
"It's okay. No matter what happens in the future, I will always be by your side."
Holding the still somewhat shaken white-haired girl in his arms, Shi Hen patted the girl's strong yet soft back to comfort her.
As Kiana's mastery of the power of the sky grows, her memories with Sirin will flow back together like two rivers, eventually merging into one.
At that time, Kiana will understand the true reason for her birth.
This is an inevitable part of a girl's growth process.
Only by truly understanding and accepting herself can Kiana fully wield the authority that originally belonged to the Void Herrscher.
"Waaah..."
Kiana mumbled something indistinctly, still nestled in the boy's arms. It took her a while to come to her senses. She quickly sat on the boy's lap, her face flushed, her slightly raised face full of seriousness. "Hen! You were so careless this time!"
Before we set off, didn't Auntie and the others say that as the Anti-Entropy Leader, you should stay away from danger and not get too close to the battlefield...?
As she spoke, a hint of lingering fear flashed in Kiana's eyes.
While battles involving Herrscher can typically spread over tens of kilometers, it's truly rare to see one where a mere gesture from someone like Welt White can cause mountains to crumble and the earth to split.
If the boy hadn't happened to possess the Star of Eden, he probably would have been buried alive forever.
Thinking of this, Kiana's expression became even more serious, and she kept searching her mind for the words of admonition that Theresa and Himeko had given her in the past, trying to make the boy realize the seriousness of the problem.
On the other side, seeing the white-haired girl who was usually scolded taking on the role of a little teacher, Shi Hen couldn't help but find it a bit amusing and couldn't resist poking the soft flesh on the girl's waist.
"Haha... Stop messing around! I'm being very serious... trying to reason with you!"
Kiana was caught off guard and attacked in a vital spot by the boy. She trembled violently and could barely speak.
"Okay, I'll be more careful next time."
He pulled the white-haired girl into his arms without giving her a chance to reason with him, and ruffled the girl's hair Shi Hen he spoke.
"Liar!"
Of course, Kiana wasn't fooled by those words. She pouted and said angrily, "If there's a next time, you'll definitely rush up there again."
Despite the fact that the boy's strength is now seriously outdated due to frequent version updates, he is unable to play any role in key battles.
But just like this search for Feather of Dust, if there is a way for him to be of use, she is quite certain that he will not hesitate.
Shi Hen could only smile and not refute the girl's complaints.
Regardless of his strength, if he doesn't step forward when the situation demands it, how can he be the Anti-Entropy Leader?
"By the way, how is the Class President? Did you bring her back?"
With a slightly serious expression, Shi Hen used the topic-shifting technique.
"The Class President is fine, it's just..."
When the story of Mount Tai Xu was mentioned, Kiana's face darkened. She recounted everything that happened after encountering Welt White, and did not hide Durandal's true identity at all.
Finally, the girl gritted her teeth, her expression turning resentful, and added, "That big bad guy, Welt White, first killed my stinky dad, and now he's forcing my sister to go against us. I will never let him get away with this!"
"But before that, we must first find a way to defeat the Asura."
He gently patted the white-haired girl's head and offered Shi Hen words of advice with a smile.
"Um..."
Thinking of her helplessness when facing the Asura, Kiana's face was filled with disappointment.
Although she was not in good condition at the time, she could still sense the terrifying power of [Welt White] in his Asura form.
That was someone she absolutely couldn't defeat even in her prime.
To truly wrest Durandal back from the enemy, she must become even stronger than she is now!
As she thought about it, a resolute glint flashed in Kiana's eyes.
"Don't push yourself too hard, Kiana."
Whether it's me or Bronya, defeating [Welt White] is the common goal of all of us.
Moreover, now that our Class President has returned, along with another Herrscher of Knowledge, our strength is constantly increasing.
Sensing the girl's mood, Shi Hen placed his hands on her shoulders and stared into her eyes as he spoke slowly and deliberately.
A balance between tension and relaxation is the way of both civil and military affairs.
If you keep putting pressure on Kiana and the others, even if these girls have a high tolerance for pressure, they will eventually break down.
Therefore, while the pressure continues to increase, Shi Hen will also kindly give Kiana and the others more glimmers of light.
Whether these lights can break through the darkness depends on the girls' own efforts.
On this point, Shi Hen has always had great confidence in them.
"Mark..."
Kiana found some solace in the boy's words, and her heart, which had been as heavy as a mountain, eased slightly.
Yes, whether it's Bronya and the others, or even herself, there's still a lot of room for improvement.
Without fully unlocking their potential, the outcome of their war against [Welt White] is still uncertain.
As her panicked heart calmed down a little, Kiana looked at the handsome face of the boy in front of her, and then thought of the fear she had felt when she almost lost him. A certain thought involuntarily arose in her mind.
Kiana climbed her hands onto the boy's broad back, unable to resist leaning her face closer and closer...
"Mark!"
A panicked voice rang out, and the ward door was quickly pulled open, revealing a terrified girl's face to Shi Hen and Kiana.
"..."
Seeing the young man and woman almost pressed together on the hospital bed, Wendy's already flushed face turned completely lobster-red from uneven breathing. "I'm sorry, I came at the wrong time..."
Wendy hurriedly uttered a sentence, giving the boy no chance to respond, and immediately closed the door again.
In the Shi Hen and Kiana blinked at each other, their eyes reflecting the last rays of the setting sun.
Chapter 150 The white-haired girl in the Training Room
Anti-Entropy Headquarters, Alliance Leader's Office.
While dealing with the seemingly endless files on her desk, Peggy glanced out of the corner of her eye at black-haired youth on another desk, who was resting his chin on his hand and seemed to be dozing off. Her eyes revealed a complex mix of emotions, including worry, resentment, and melancholy.
"What's wrong? Is something the matter?"
After a long while, as the girl's gaze grew stronger, Shi Hen finally had to pull himself out of his meditation and open his eyes to look at the girl he had picked up by chance in the Siberian snowfield.
"..."
Meeting the boy's calm and natural gaze, Peggy pursed her lips and after a long while whispered, "Is there anything wrong with your body?"
If you're not feeling well, why don't you take a break and get some rest?
According to the information she obtained from Einstein and others, the effects of the Quantum Sea on the boy have not completely subsided yet, in addition to the recent Mount Tai Xu incident...
Even though she knew the boy wasn't as simple as he seemed, she still couldn't help feeling worried and scared when she heard he was injured.
In this state of mind, even the work that he had gradually become accustomed to being blamed for seemed to have an extraordinary meaning, becoming evidence of the boy's physical weakness.
"Oh..."
Hearing the girl's words, Shi Hen couldn't help but chuckle and gently shook his head, "Don't think too much about it, Peggy."
Instead of spending time thinking about these things, think more about work.
The current Anti-Entropy is in a period of transition between the old and new orders, and there are still quite a few troubles, both big and small.
After all, even if he used various means to reduce the resistance of the remaining executors to a minimum, those people would not obediently hand over power.
It is foreseeable that even though he has now gained considerable power as the Third Generation, he will still have to contend with the other executors.
This is to minimize the impact of institutional reforms on Anti-Entropy stability.
In addition, since the end of the Fifth Honkai Outbreak, Anti-Entropy has been constantly searching for traitors, so Peggy still has a very heavy burden on her shoulders.
Although a large part of it was him shifting the blame onto the other party.
"Because... I can't do it!"
Seeing the boy's calm and composed demeanor, Peggy was first taken aback, then cried out as if she had completely collapsed, her brown eyes filled with a layer of shimmering mist, "Of course I know about work and stuff."
But can't you tell me more things?
Whether it's keeping it a secret or something else, as long as you tell me, I will do my best to do it.
I just wanted to... I just wanted to...
Choking back tears, Peggy raised her hand to wipe the blurriness from the corner of her eye, trying to clear her vision.
"Peggy, you're really a bit annoying."
He flashed in front of the girl, Shi Hen her head and sighed, his eyes filled with helplessness as if he were looking at a naughty little kitten.
"Even if you try to hypnotize me again, I won't give in!"
Peggy grabbed the boy's hand and glared at the helpless boy in front of her, her bright, moist eyes filled with an indomitable flame.
