The Seven Ring Spirit Envoys' Unease
"Boom!!!"
A dazzling white light shot straight into the sky once more. The energy fluctuations it emitted even caused the earth to tremble slightly. To outsiders, this would definitely be considered an attack. But for the people inside Ringwraith City, it was a completely familiar sight. They simply shrugged, glanced at each other, and then went about their business, completely unconcerned about what was about to happen.
"Hahaha..."
At this moment, in the pitch-black room, Yi Aier was slumped over her desk, her face flushed, beads of sweat already forming on her forehead. Her heavy breathing caused changes in the girl's petite body. Finally, after taking a deep breath, Yi Aier calmed down and leaned back in her chair.
"Ah... I still care about it a lot..."
The little maid pouted, clutching her head and groaning in distress.
If we were to say who was most shocked by Nia and Li Lin's intimate contact, it would undoubtedly be the little maid. After all, even as the source of her fantasies, the little maid never imagined that her sister Nia would actually go this far with her master, and Yi Aier saw it very clearly at the time. Nia's kiss wasn't just a simple kiss; she was certain she saw it very clearly— Nia's sister had even inserted her tongue inside.
That's... that's... something couples should do, right? Why would Sister Nia do that with Master? Could it be that they've already...
With this question in mind, Yi Aier naturally asked Nia as well. However, this time, Nia did not explain it to the little maid as she usually did. Instead, she gave Yi Aier a very meaningful smile, as if she had obtained some mysterious treasure, and answered her question with pride and smugness.
"You can try to guess for yourself!"
To be honest, those words completely terrified the little maid, since Nia would never speak in such a relaxed tone before.
So, she really did...
For the past few days, Yi Aier had been locking herself in the design studio. The mobile fortress design, after testing with the prototypes, had entered the mass production stage, so Yi Aier put aside her work and, as Nia had suggested, began to "guess for herself." It must be said that this was an extremely stimulating and painful experience for the little maid. In these few days, the little maid had already come up with several versions, but then immediately dismissed each of these ideas.
Master professing his love to Sister Nia? No, no, Master isn't one of those smooth-talking gigolos. Over the years, he's never been heard to utter sweet words to any woman. No matter how strong Yi Aier's imagination is, she can't fathom Li Lin holding Nia's hand, kneeling before her, gazing at his weapon with a charming smile, and making a sincere declaration of love.
"Beautiful Nia, your eyes are as beautiful as the stars in the sky. Seeing your luscious lips and captivating smile, I feel my soul abandon my body. Ah, my most beloved beauty, will you stay with me forever and become my lover?"
No, no, the master would absolutely never say that. Let's find another one.
So, did Sister Nia take the initiative to push her master down? Soon, the little maid began to shift her thinking, considering it from another angle: Nia pinned Li Lin down, and with a warm, welcoming smile, she reached out and unfastened Li Lin's robe...
"Li Lin, I've missed you for so long. I thought you would notice my feelings, but I never expected you wouldn't realize my love. I can't bear it anymore. Now, I'm going to show you just how deep my love for you truly is!!"
No, no, Sister Nia is a perfect lady; she wouldn't do something so embarrassing on her own initiative.
Could it be that the master used force? That's not impossible, for example...
The dark, cold basement was filled with Li Lin, who stood naked, holding a leather whip, staring at the naked girl bound to the wall with a fanatical smile.
"Nia, your struggles are futile. I will force myself upon you, taking your body and soul! Call me master!"
But would he really use those tools on Nia? Those whips, rocking horses, candles—just thinking about it makes my mouth water. Besides, Nia wouldn't be interested in that, and besides, Master isn't the type to use force...
Or was it just an accident? No, no, what kind of accident could have led their relationship to this point? Did Master see Nia's naked body? If so, he saw everyone's naked bodies while manufacturing weapons. Could it be that Nia saw what Angela and Master were doing and got aroused? That's unlikely. Could it be that Master made a new aphrodisiac for experimentation, and Nia drank it? That's quite possible, but I haven't heard Master mention making any such drugs recently.
Youth is wonderful.
If Angela saw this, Yi Aier would undoubtedly gain a nickname like "perpetually in heat," but Yi Aier wasn't worried about that right now. She was still racking her brains, trying to figure out what kind of relationship Nia and her master had. Come to think of it, even after all these centuries, this was the first time she'd ever heard that her master harbored such feelings for her weapons...
"Hey?"
Upon realizing this, Yi Aier jumped up in surprise.
Since Master has already done that with Sister Nia, then wouldn't he also... wait, does that mean it'll be Suoxiate turn next?! What should I do? Refuse? No, no, I like Master so much, how could I refuse? Accept? But if I did that, wouldn't Master see me as a shameless girl? Ugh, I can't be like Angela, so what should I do? Right, didn't Miss Angela teach me... what was it called again? Tsundere? But that would be very rude to Master. After all, as a maid, saying to Master, "I hate you the most, I don't like being with you," would get me whipped by Sister Suoxiate.
But, but...
"Aaaaaah!!"
Thinking of this, Yi Aier screamed and collapsed onto the table again.
"This is so frustrating. I don't know when Master will come to find me. Today? No, no, I heard he went out with Miss Angela. So what happens when he comes back? When will Master want me? He won't want me as soon as he gets back... Could it be..."
Thinking of this, Yi Aier's eyes became unfocused again. Soon, the girl's previously steady breathing became rapid again, as if she had once again searched for one of the infinite possibilities.
"Yi Aier, Yi Aier?"
"I'm here. Is there anything I can help you with, Master?"
"I'm so tired from coming back. Get some hot water ready; I'm planning to get some rest."
"Yes, I'll go prepare it right away, Master."
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
"Oh? Is there anything else you need? If not, then I'll..."
"Don't be in such a hurry to leave, Yi Aier. I've been gone for so long, aren't you going to spend more time with me?"
"But you, you're taking a shower right now..."
"Isn't it a maid's duty to rub her master's back?"
"Yes... you're right."
"Wow... I never imagined you'd grow up to be so beautiful and mature."
"Oh dear, Master, what are you doing? Don't do this..."
"You are my weapon, so this kind of close contact isn't a problem, is it? I never imagined you'd grown to this level."
"Master, please don't touch there, there... no... ah!! What are you doing?"
"As a maid, it's only natural for me to bathe with my master, isn't it? Since you've helped me scrub my back, how about I kindly scrub your front too?"
"Master, you can't... no, there..."
"You may say no, but this little thing that's getting swollen doesn't lie, you know? And who's gotten so wet already?"
"That, that's because of the hot water, that's not me... Oh no, not there, you can't... Master, what are you doing? What is that? It looks so scary..."
"This? This is a magical device that will enter your body and transform you from a girl into a woman! Relax, don't be so tense. Accept it."
"No, no, it's too big, I can't fit in! It's terrifying!!"
"Don't worry, just relax. Besides, you're already wet down there, it's perfectly fine. Hey!!"
"Aa..."
Accompanied by Yi Aier's scream, a white beam of light shot up again, piercing through the roof and soaring into the sky.
"That won't do!"
Just as she snapped out of her reverie, the little maid slammed her hand down on her desk.
"No, this absolutely cannot be done. I can't lose my virginity like this..."
Thinking of this, the little maid raised her head, her eyes sparkling with wisdom.
"It seems we need to think of a solution."
During Li Lin's absence, Ringwraith City continued to operate smoothly. Although Li Lin was gone, Nisi, as Arcane Mage, could naturally manage the city's operations. Elsewhere, everyone was busy. Some had received orders from the Seven Ring Spirit Envoys, while others had sensed certain clues from the current events. They began to cultivate even more diligently, striving for the final battle. The Seven Ring Spirit Envoys were no exception, and among them, Beika, as the Shield of Guardianship of Ringwraith City, was naturally not idle either.
"What did you say?"
Beika stopped manipulating the magic ball and looked at her sister with slightly widened eyes.
"That's right! What if my master wants me to stay with him in bed?!"
Yi Aier clenched her small fist and shouted in response. Fortunately, Beika had no other staff members besides her, so there was no need to worry about rumors detrimental to Arcane Mage spreading based on this.
"How foolish."
Beika snorted coldly, manipulating the magic orbs with both hands to further examine her Shield of Guardianship. When the final battle arrived, Ringwraith City would undoubtedly become the enemy's target, and as the shield protecting it, she couldn't afford to make any mistakes. Last time, she failed to protect her country; this time, the little maid vowed not to repeat the same error.
"We are now facing a combined attack from the United Kingdom and the evil god. Can't you focus on the right thing and think about what you, as a weapon of destruction, should be doing?"
"But that's also very important!"
Yi Aier pouted in dissatisfaction.
"You saw it that day, Nia and Master were kissing so... passionately! Their tongues were even inside each other! Don't tell me you didn't see it! Ugh, I really don't know when Nia and Master got to this point. I went to ask her, but she wouldn't tell me and told me to guess! Beika, tell me, isn't that strange? Nia isn't the kind of person who would say things like that!!"
"..."
Beika's hand paused slightly.
"Seriously, if Nia and Master are already in that kind of relationship, then Suoxiate is probably the same. What am I going to do, Beika? I'm third in line! Maybe when Master comes back, it'll be my turn! At that time, Master will forcibly drag me into the bath, and then... he'll give me hot water..."
"Even delusions have their limits, Sister Yi Aier."
Seeing that Yi Aier's body began to tremble again, Beika had to interrupt her. She didn't want to prove on the spot whether the "beam cannon that destroys everything" or the "protective shield that protects everything" was superior. "Master isn't that kind of person. I think you should know that. Instead of worrying about those trivial things, you should think about things that are more important. I'm busy. If there's nothing else, can you leave?"
"Beika is so cold-blooded and heartless!"
Seeing that Beika clearly had no intention of continuing the conversation, Yi Aier stomped her foot angrily.
"Fine, I'm going to find Sister Miu'erkasi! Humph, the day you get carried to bed by Master, I'll laugh you to death!"
"You...!!"
Upon hearing this, Beika blushed, a rare occurrence for her. She stood up, wanting to retort, but by then, Yi Aier had already left the Crystal Palace.
"That's ridiculous."
Watching Yi Aier leave, Beika let out a long sigh, then sat back down in her seat, but at that moment, a look of detachment appeared in her eyes.
"If my master hugs me... honestly, what am I thinking!"
Thinking of this, Beika shook her head vigorously.
"I have absolutely no interest in the relationship between Sister Nia and Master. I am the Shield of Guardianship among the Seven Ring Spirit Envoys, and all I need to do now is fulfill my duty! They shouldn't even be asking me such trivial matters. What utter bad luck! Looks like I'll have to re-examine everything."
At this point, Beika closed her eyes again, took a deep breath, and then resumed her usual icy demeanor.
"Because of that idiot's interference, I'm afraid there might be loopholes in the previous checks, so let's search again."
Although she didn't get the answer from her youngest sister and colleague, it didn't mean Yi Aier would give up. Soon, she found another person who, in Yi Aier's opinion, could answer her questions.
"You mean... by Your Excellency?"
The longsword in Miu'erkasi's hand clattered to the ground, and she stared wide-eyed at Yi Aier in surprise.
"Sister Yi Aier, did you have a nightmare, or are you feeling unwell?"
"I haven't been sleeping much these past few days, and I haven't been eating much either. But wait, that's not the problem, Miu'erkasi. What would you do if you were in my shoes?"
"This..."
Faced with Yi Aier's aggressive questioning, the young knight was speechless for a moment.
"Me? Why me? Sister Yi Aier, someone like me, Your Excellency wouldn't be interested in me, would you? Besides, Sister Nia is special... We all know she likes Your Excellency very much, so something like this is a natural progression, it should be quite normal, right?"
"No, no, no, that's not how it's said."
Yi Aier's head shook repeatedly, her chest heaving along with it.
"Sister Nia likes Master, so why don't I? Don't you like him?"
"No, that's not what I meant. I have great respect for you, but feelings between men and women... to be honest, I've never thought about it that way."
At this point, Miu'erkasi unconsciously touched her lips. She had witnessed Nia and Li Lin's intimacy that day, and although she had subsequently intended to seal that memory away out of politeness, Miu'erkasi 'Yi Aier question had brought back the events of the past. Herself and Your Excellency? That couldn't be, could it? However, if Your Excellency really asked her for something...
"If you haven't thought about it, you can think about it. I'll come back to hear your answer later, okay? By the way, Miu'erkasi, I can't find Anna. Where did she go?"
"As for Anna, I heard she went to the Lower Realms with Your Excellency. Didn't you know?"
"Anna and Master? This is terrible! Is Master planning to target Anna next?! Then Miu'erkasi, you might be next too?! Be careful!"
"Why?"
Before Miu'erkasi could say anything more, Yi Aier turned and left again.
"Well then, take your time to think it over. I'll go talk to Kalin about it!"
