WHAFI 226-250

Chapter 226: I Saw the Future.

In the blink of an eye, the battle broke out.

Himeko took the lead and rushed towards Bai Mo with the big sword.

For a while, the two swords clashed, sparks flew, and it was difficult to tell who was superior.

On the side, Theresa also found the right moment, holding the sword and halberd, sweeping towards Bai Mo’s position.

Then, the Oath of Judah was activated again, releasing dozens of spears from the sky.

The spears nailed into the ground, and the thunder power attached to them instantly turned into thunder pools, attempting to interfere with Bai Mo’s actions.

But Bai Mo couldn’t be hit so easily. She laughed lightly, threw Himeko away, and then jumped high, gathering power.

She swept Shamash in her hand forward, and the flame that could burn everything in the world reappeared. It turned into sword energy and slashed forward.

The spears were instantly melted under the attack of Shamash, and their thunder power was directly swallowed.

Suddenly, the thunder pools on the ground turned into seas of fire, surrounding everyone.

Especially the Titans—some of those who were close were melted directly, with no chance to react.

On the other side, Griseo summoned many Knights, who were fighting against Kiana, Lilia, and others.

Just when Bai Mo was still complacent, thinking that everyone had only this skills, a pink figure suddenly fell from the sky like a meteor was about to hit her.

"Super headbutt!"

It turned out to be Rosaria, who had been thrown into the air by Lilia. She then stepped on Sleeping Beauty’s sword and rushed towards Bai Mo with the reaction force.

Woc! As expected of Rosaria, this head is really hard!

She secretly complained in her heart.

With Ankuken Kurayami in her hand, Bai Mo took the blow. Although the force was a bit strong, it didn’t cause any substantial damage. Then, Bai Mo appeared behind Rosaria in an instant, controlled the strength, and slapped her back to the ground.

However, Bai Mo couldn’t immediately straighten her body due to inertia. At this moment, Mei and Bronya, both on the ground, seized the opportunity.

"Bronya!"

"Got it!"

Both nodded, and then Mei faced the battle head-on, while Bronya was responsible for supporting from below.

Forcefully urging the power of the Herrscher core in her body, a trace of thunder slowly surrounded Mei. With the momentum of thunder, Mei burst out at an extremely fast speed, appearing behind Bai Mo in the blink of an eye.

Swoosh!

The long sword was unsheathed, and a thunderous power spread out, violently tearing everything around her.

With her superb sword skills, in a short second, Mei swung four slashes forward. These were followed by the Project Bunny’s artillery fire, all of which attacked Bai Mo at once.

Swish, swish, swish!

Cold light rose, swords and sabers flashing!

"A trifling technique!"

The two of them coordinated well, but in Bai Mo’s opinion, these attacks didn’t pose any threat to her.

The death energy representing the withering of all things surged from her palm and turned into a big net, swallowing all the shells that attacked.

Facing Mei’s sharp offensive, the ability to predict the future was activated instantly.

In that moment, Mei’s sword’s landing point and trajectory were visible, and she was directly suppressed by Bai Mo.

"How could it be!"

Seeing that her most impressive sword skills were also suppressed by the opponent, Mei said unwillingly. At the same time, she realized that no matter how she changed the trajectory of her sword, it was instantly seen through by the opponent. Even if she abandoned necessary skills and sequences, drawing the sword with idealism, the opponent still predicted it accurately.

For a moment, after meeting the captivating eyes of Kamen Rider Caliburn, Mei felt as though her entire being, even her soul, was seen through.

"Ah..."

Cold sweat ran down her body. Mei’s momentary distraction allowed Bai Mo to seize the opportunity. She then punched out, and the powerful force directly shattered the long sword in Mei’s hand. The whole person fell to the ground like a kite with a broken string.

Seeing this, Bronya quickly summoned Project Bunny to catch Mei before she hit the ground.

This scene could be called a domestic violence scene! The whole family is beating her up!

"I saw the future from Caliburn. No matter how you struggle, the ending is doomed to fail."

"Since the ending is already determined, why not stop here?"

Bai Mo stood in midair and said coldly, her fingertips gently brushing the blade of Ankuken Kurayami. Her acting skills were superb.

After hearing these words, the people on the ground also looked very solemn. Indeed, their attacks had never worked from the beginning, and they were all dodged by the opponent in a very relaxed manner.

It was as if they could really predict the future. Could there really be such a monster in the world?

A trace of hesitation flashed through everyone’s hearts.

"What a bunch of nonsense about the future! I never believe in this!"

"All Titans, get ready! Blow her to pieces!"

Tesla who hated these twists and turns the most and was always straightforward didn’t listen to them at all.

After she finished speaking, she directly controlled the terminal in her hand, causing the remaining more than 50 Titan mechas to fire all their shells at once.

"No!"

Theresa was about to stop her, but it was too late.

With a trace of worry on her face, Theresa only hoped that her guess would not come true.

After all, if the other party really possessed the power of the Herrscher of the Void, they would be the only ones to suffer when these shells were fired.

Boom!

Boom!

.....

After receiving the command, hundreds of shells flew out at the same time, leaving traces in the air.

Everyone couldn’t help sweating when they saw this, hoping that these shells could cause damage to Bai Mo.

"Want to suppress me with numbers? Then you are very wrong, Dr. Tesla."

Shaking her head and looking at the shells flying in the distance, Bai Mo felt a little sad for Tesla’s decision.

Playing these move in front of the Herrscher of the Void, isn’t that like an old man hanging himself, not wanting to live long?

The next second, Bai Mo waved her hand lightly, snapped her fingers, and pretended to open the Imaginary Portal to return all the shells.

Theresa also noticed Bai Mo’s action at this time. She immediately shouted to everyone, "No! Everyone, get out of the way!"

Looking at the portals that had already opened in the sky, everyone who guessed something immediately scattered.

"You know to get out of the way now? It’s too late!"

But they were still a step too late. The baptism of artillery fire soon descended on everyone. The deafening sound resounded through the world, the aftermath of the explosion shook, and the flames soared into the sky.

For a while, the field was filled with smoke, and everyone was injured to varying degrees.

----

Chapter 227: Seele and Schrödinger

However, Bai Mo had calculated the landing point of the shells accurately. After all, she didn't want to truly hurt anyone.

And when they fought earlier, she had deliberately absorbed the force. Of course, this included Griseo, to whom she had also specifically reminded.

"Sister Aslaug, is your body really okay?"

"It's okay, but after I go back this time, I may have to ask Sister Vill-V to fix it for me again."

Shaking her head helplessly, Bai Mo smiled bitterly.

Sure enough, Rider Caliburn still couldn't withstand the high temperature brought by the Judgement of Shamash, causing many parts of her body to show signs of melting, and her cloak was almost burned.

Then, the power of creation acted on Griseo's body. Although she wasn't injured, Bai Mo could still dispel her fatigue.

...below.

After the explosion, the smoke dispersed, and everyone was covered in dust, which looked extremely funny.

"This little girl looks weak and harmless. How can she be so strong in battle?"

While silently complaining, Kiana couldn't help but think of the scene when Griseo had just started fighting.

It's amazing— even more powerful than herself.

"Lilia, are you okay?"

"I'm fine. How about you, Rosalia?"

"Nothing else, just a headache."

Lilia and Rosalia hugged each other. They had just experienced Mr. Knight's beating and were now bombarded with several rounds. Both of them couldn't stand it at this point.

As for Tesla, don't mention how angry she was. This was her serious mistake.

With a sigh, she wondered how long Einstein would laugh at her for this.

"Sure enough, if I guess correctly, Miss Aslaug, you just used the power of the Herrscher of the Void."

After coming back to her senses, she patted the dust off her clothes and stared at Bai Mo tightly, as if she wanted to see through her. After all, the of Herrscher of the Void involved a lot of things.

"What? Herrscher of the Void!"

As expected, when Theresa said this, the faces of the rest of the people were full of disbelief.

Especially the expressions of Kiana and the others who knew the inside story were even more astonishing. After all, they had never seen someone possess two Herrscher powers at the same time.

"That's right. I think anyone who participated in the Second Eruption should know about the Imaginary Portal."

Looking at the vigilant eyes of the crowd, Bai Mo directly admitted it openly. She also demonstrated the opening of the Imaginary Portal to everyone in a very friendly manner, and, by the way, created a few sub-spears of the void to play with.

This left everyone in shock.

"Oh, by the way, you must not associate me with Sirin, because I am still quite special."

After saying that, Bai Mo also mentioned it deliberately. Otherwise, these people might think she is a clone of Sirin. If the misunderstanding becomes too big, she won’t be able to clear it up in the future.

"Did your World Serpents also participate in the Second Eruption?"

Thinking of Bai Mo's sensitive identity, Einstein asked out of curiosity.

"For this, I can only say that I had not joined the World Serpent during the Second Eruption, so naturally, I have nothing to say."

"And please make one thing clear to Ms. Einstein: We are still enemies. Are you sure you want to continue chatting with me?"

"After all, the situation of the Eye of the Deep has been a little unstable since the beginning."

After speaking, Bai Mo turned sideways in mid-air and pointed to the Eye of the Deep, which was shaking violently in the distance.

Everyone looked toward it, and sure enough, just as Bai Mo said, the outer layer of the Eye of the Deep was gradually falling off, or it could be said to be collapsing.

This phenomenon began when Bai Mo released the Shamash earlier, but because everyone's attention had been elsewhere, it was not discovered immediately.

Now, the situation of the Eye of the Deep was becoming more and more unstable, and Bai Mo had naturally noticed it.

........

Crack!

At this moment, the Honkai of the Eye of the Deep suddenly stopped, but a small crack appeared directly above it. The crack gradually expanded with time.

Soon, the crack extended for dozens of meters!

Looking carefully, one could also see an endless and strange scene.

"It's the Sea of Quanta—no! The riot of the Eye of the Deep has broken the barrier of the real world!"

Einstein saw the current situation at a glance and said in a very anxious tone.

After all, once this crack appears, the probability of [Serpent] coming out of the Sea of Quanta is greater.

But before everyone had time to react, a sudden change occurred in the crack. One quantum shadow after another emerged from it and began to invade the real world.

However, what was strange was that many of these quantum shadows that appeared in the real world were seriously injured, as if they had been attacked by someone.

Looking at the scars, it was like they had been scratched by sharp cHerrschers and cut by sickles.

Seeing this, Bai Mo had already guessed in her heart that these injuries were the work of Seele and Schrödinger.

Sure enough, in the next second, two small figures suddenly appeared in the crack, one in front and one behind, following the quantum shadow into the real world.

The newcomers were Seele and Schrödinger. The two looked very embarrassed at this time, with many frostbites on their bodies. Clearly, they had just experienced a tough battle with Kevin.

Especially Seele— her left arm was covered with frost and had already frozen. The extent of her pain could be seen from the fine beads of sweat on her face. Even though she gritted her teeth, she couldn't hide her painful expression.

"Seele!"

"Schrödinger!"

At this moment, Bronya and Einstein, who had reacted and seen who was coming, shouted immediately.

"Sister Bronya!"

At first, Seele thought it was an auditory hallucination, but when she looked in the direction of the voice and saw the face she had been thinking of day and night, a face she hadn't seen in many years but was still very familiar with, Seele was overjoyed. She forgot her injuries and turned around, running toward Bronya.

Seeing this, Bronya hurried forward to greet her. During this time, she didn't forget to glance at Bai Mo a few times, as though she thought Bai Mo would suddenly attack.

In response, Bai Mo was very angry. Am I really that type of person!? Of course not!

Waving her hand, a white light descended on Seele's body, and the power of creation healed all her injuries.

"Thank you... thank you."

Feeling very surprised by Bai Mo's sudden move, Bronya whispered in a complicated tone.

And Seele, not fully understanding what was going on around her, could only say thank you in a low voice.

----

Chapter 228: The Best Player of the Match: Theresa

Now that the barrier between the Sea of Quanta and the real world has been broken, the space here is extremely unstable. To avoid falling into the Sea of Quanta due to carelessness, Einstein suggested that everyone refrain from taking action for the time being, with everything based on Welt's information.

"How are you, Seele? Do you feel uncomfortable?"

In public, Bronya hugged Seele tightly in her arms, and her long-held longing was finally revealed a little.

Seele also missed this feeling deeply. With her arms wrapped around Bronya's back, she said softly, "It's okay, sister Bronya. Seele feels good now, and all the injuries on her body have healed."

Recalling the white light that had just descended on her, Seele always felt that this power had an unknown attraction and familiarity.

But that power acted on her only for a moment, so Seele did not delve deeper into it.

After the two hugged for a while, Bronya took Seele's arm and led her to join the group.

This time, Bronya was no longer wary of Bai Mo's actions. After all, the other party had healed Seele's injuries, so she would definitely not bother with a sneak attack.

"Hello, Seele. Bronya has been talking about you every day. I'm so glad to see that you're okay."

Seeing the two of them approach, Mei was the first to extend her hand and smiled at Seele.

"Thank... Thank you for your concern."

Holding Bronya's arm with one hand, Seele responded shyly, like a frightened little rabbit.

"Don't be nervous! We're all family from now on!"

Seeing this, Kiana also stepped forward to smooth things over, and the four of them exchanged a few words to get to know each other.

Later, Rosalia and Lilia hurried over when they saw Seele, and the group engaged in a detailed conversation, listening to Seele's story about what had happened in the Sea of Quanta.

On the side, Theresa and Himeko did not join the conversation but instead watched Bai Mo, who was destroying the quantum shadows in the distance.

It was strange—her actions seemed deliberate, as if she were preparing time for Bronya and Seele to talk, ensuring that the quantum shadows did not disturb them.

"Himeko, do you think Aslaug is a strange person? She gives off a feeling of being unpredictable."

Theresa frowned slightly. From the beginning, she had been pondering this question, trying to figure out what Bai Mo was doing all of this for.

It stands to reason that they should not be in a hostile relationship. So, what was the point of saving an enemy?

Was she just bored? Was she acting on a whim? Theresa was a little confused.

"Indeed, she is quite contradictory. I always feel like she doesn’t really want to attack us."

Himeko nodded, speaking thoughtfully.

When Bai Mo treated Seele just now, they both saw it and were puzzled. They couldn’t figure out the other party’s attitude at all.

"So, do you think she’s the one?"

After a long pause, Theresa suddenly spoke. Himeko was slightly surprised. "Hmm? Are you serious? But to be honest, I had a similar guess just now. It's just a feeling, though, isn’t it?"

"I hope we’ll have a chance to prove it one day. At least, that's what I think," Himeko said with a wry smile, shaking her head.

After hearing the reply, Theresa fell silent and began to ponder.

Reflecting on the recent events, she recalled what Kiana had told her when she went to find her. The first point was that the World Serpent agent, who called herself Aslaug, had gotten along very well with Kiana and the others in Kroka Town.

She had taken care of them just right, and the familiarity between them seemed like that of friends who had been together for a long time.

This could be seen from the moment Aslaug appeared and saw Kiana injured.

There was also the photo of Siegfried she brought to Kiana.

This level of care went far beyond what a friend, who had only known them for less than a week, would do.

The other thing was how Aslaug held back in the battle. Though the fight had been intense, none of them had suffered serious injuries—only superficial ones at most.

This approach made it appear like she had been giving in the whole time, and the battle was just a formality.

After all, Theresa couldn't believe that a Herrscher with the Judgment of Shamash could have fought back and forth with them evenly. If it had been someone else, they would have been dead long ago.

Based on these inferences, the timing of Bai Mo's disappearance, Aslaug's sudden appearance, and her secret contact with Kiana and the others led Theresa to make this bold guess.

Of course, the most important point was the Herrscher power the other party had just used. In addition to the power of the Herrscher of the Void, there was also the strange black mist and the white light that healed injuries.

These symbols were very similar to the power of the Herrscher of Death. According to Theresa's investigation, the last mission Bai Mo performed before disappearing was to find the core of the Herrscher of Death, the Gem of Serenity's, which had been lost by Shamash.

After that mission, Bai Mo disappeared, and the Serenity Gem also vanished.

Now, with all these factors coming together, Himeko felt she might be on to something.

After all, she couldn't believe that someone so familiar with them, who had been taking care of them everywhere, could exist for no reason.

"Bai Mo... Aslaug, if you really are her, why did you join the World Serpent? Is the implementation of  Project Stigma your goal, or is there something more to it?"

The figure in the distance gradually overlapped with the memory in her mind. Himeko looked at it with complex eyes and muttered silently in her heart.

On the other side, Bai Mo felt a chill run down his back. It felt like someone was watching him, and he was uncomfortable.

"Really, who is secretly talking about me again?"

After dealing with the last quantum shadow that emerged from the crack, Bai Mo wiped her sweat and complained while looking at the corpses on the ground.

"It's not easy being both a father and a mother every day. Sooner or later, I’ll have to make them compensate me."

Sneaking a glance at Kiana and the others, Bai Mo felt warmth in her heart.

It felt wonderful to be able to watch over them like this.

-----

Chapter 229: Overturning

Bang!

"What's going on?"

"It's the noise coming from the crack!"

A sudden explosion erupted from the crack, startling everyone on the scene, followed by an extremely powerful wave of Honkai energy spreading outward.

Being the closest to the crack, Bai Mo was directly blown away, and of course, Griseo beside her wasn’t spared. However, Bai Mo still blocked most of the impact for Griseo.

"Damn sneak attack! Welt, you can't beat Kevin, so you blow yourself up!!! Joyce would cry if she saw this!"

Sensing the breath of the Herrscher within the wave, Bai Mo secretly complained, guessing that Welt must have been cornered by Kevin.

Tumbling and falling to the ground, most of the force was absorbed, but the Caliburn finally reached its limit under this blow.

A phantom of a book page appeared. After rapidly turning, it gradually closed. Then, the Jaou Dragon on Bai Mo’s body automatically disintegrated, revealing her original appearance.

Feeling a looseness on her face, as though something was about to fall off, Bai Mo subconsciously supported her face and the mask that was about to break into two pieces.

"This quality is worthy of being a street stall product."

Though she said this, Bai Mo's heart ached. After all, this was the first gift Griseo had given her, and now it was broken.

Damn Welt! I will never forgive you!!!

Carefully getting up, Bai Mo immediately checked Griseo’s body and was relieved to find that there were no scars.

At this moment, Griseo was still immersed in the scene where Bai Mo had just protected her from the blast. She was unable to recover for a while.

"I'm sorry, Sister Aslaug..."

After a few seconds, Griseo came to her senses and clung to Bai Mo, burying her head in her arms as she spoke with great self-blame.

After all, if it weren’t for me, Sister Aslaug wouldn’t have been injured.

Griseo thought silently. The scene of the Caliburn's armor being hit and disintegrating still scared her.

"Okay, dear, I'm fine. Don’t worry."

Bai Mo said gently, patting Griseo’s head in reassurance.

Griseo raised her head and looked at Bai Mo’s relaxed expression, which seemed genuine, and then she was finally relieved.

At the same time, Theresa and the others, who had come after hearing the news, arrived not far from Bai Mo.

Both sides kept a relatively safe distance.

But compared to before, Bai Mo wasn’t sure if it was just her imagination, but she felt that Himeko’s gaze on her now seemed… off.

Kiana and the others were less hostile but still vigilant.

Bai Mo could understand the latter, since personal emotions were involved, but what was going on with Himeko?

Did she get exposed? But her hands were still holding the mask, and it hadn’t fallen off.

Bai Mo’s eyes shifted from panic to calm, and all these changes were noticed by Himeko, which confirmed her suspicions once again.

"So, March, you were also lying to us, right?"

Looking at Bai Mo’s careful protection of the mask, no matter how big Kiana’s heart was, she guessed that Bai Mo had concealed something when she contacted them before.

After all, things like names could be faked, and appearances were easily altered.

And the face couldn’t have been verified at St. Freya College. All of a sudden, the three of them understood.

But they didn’t intend to blame her too much. After all, everyone had their own secrets, and they should respect each other.

But this left Bai Mo in a difficult position. She hadn’t expected to be exposed here. For a moment, she couldn’t argue, so she could only pretend to nod.

"So what?"

"It’s useless to say more. If you want to stop me, then come at me."

Not wanting to get too entangled, she drew a line with Shamash in her hand, rubbing some sparks on the ground, etching a half-moon mark to separate the two sides.

Its meaning was clear: those who crossed this line would bear the consequences.

Everyone instinctively stepped back when they saw this.

"Aslaug, can you tell me why you're so persistent with Project Stigma?"

The person who spoke was Himeko. After confirming Bai Mo’s identity, she wanted to understand why Bai Mo was doing this.

After all, in her eyes, Bai Mo had never been someone who treated human life as worthless.

"I don’t want to repeat myself. You can think whatever you want. We just need Kevin."

But Bai Mo obviously didn’t intend to explain. After all, how could she know what Himeko was thinking now?

" Griseo, stop them for me."

Helpless, not wanting to risk exposing her identity, and considering that Griseo's strength was enough to resist everyone, Bai Mo ran toward the crack without looking back after saying this.

Finish the job quickly. Welt blew himself up at the risk of his life, which means that Kevin’s side is nearing its end. It’s perfect for her to rush over and finish it now.

Since the conversation earlier, Einstein and Tesla had been making small moves, and their goal was to control the Eye of the Deep to close the crack.

If she doesn't say it, they might really think she's blind.

"Not good! Stop her quickly! It will take some time to close the crack!"

Seeing that her plan had been discovered, Einstein immediately called on everyone to take action.

Now, no matter how mixed the feelings of the people present were, they had to pick up their weapons and fight.

The golden spear transformed into a chain of restraint and shot out from Judah.

Theresa took the lead, passing Griseo's body in the blink of an eye and chasing in the direction of Bai Mo. Mei followed closely behind, her body turning into a bolt of lightning, leaving a residual image in the air.

The rest of the group scattered, clearly intending to disturb Griseo's vision.

"Mr. Knight."

But how could Griseo not know what everyone was thinking?

After saying that, colorful streams of light appeared in the air. Griseo waved the brush in her hand and sealed the area into a barrier. Several huge figures appeared out of nowhere and surrounded everyone.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Judah's chain struck the barrier, but ultimately failed to break through its defense.

"Damn it, it was so close!"

Looking at Aslaug’s figure as it disappeared, Theresa hesitated, her expression complicated.

On the other side, Bai Mo managed to enter the crack just before it closed.

----

Chapter 230: Meeting

Sea of Quanta

It was blue and boundless, with some remaining Bubble Worlds floating in the air, just like a real ocean. Bai Mo was also amazed when she first arrived here.

If she didn’t have something to do now, she would really want to explore those Bubble Worlds. Maybe she could even visit the previous civilization to play.

Shaking her head and dispelling this unrealistic idea, Bai Mo began to move according to the coordinates sent by Kevin.

After a while, Bai Mo saw Kevin’s figure not far away.

Looking closer, one could also see that Kevin was holding a Herrscher core in one hand. The scene was quite shocking for the uninformed.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. You’ve lost control, your driver’s license has been revoked, and you really deserve it, Welt!!"

Seeing this, Bai Mo secretly rejoiced, thinking that Kevin was still very smart, and this could be considered revenge for herself in the dark!

"Well, Kevin, this should be our first official meeting."

Looking at the cold man in front of her, Bai Mo wasn’t afraid of the coldness emanating from him and immediately extended her hand.

"Well, I thank you on behalf of the Fire Moth and the World Serpent."

Kevin was also unambiguous, extending his hand as well, and the two shook hands in a friendly manner.

Thus, the strongest warrior of the previous civilization, who had cut Finality to standby, and the Finality of this Era officially met in the Sea of Quanta. No, it should be said that they finally met in person.

"Hey, why is the Lord like this? It really makes me embarrassed."

Suddenly, after seeing that Kevin was not as crazy as she remembered, Bai Mo also joked a little.

She took off the mask that had been broken into two pieces and used it as a fan, fanning it twice.

This time, she was quite happy.

"…"

Hearing this, Kevin’s mouth twitched, and his head was filled with black lines.

He admitted that when Bai Mo was talking just now, it was like he saw the shadow of Elysia.

After all, in his impression, Bai Mo's personality hadn't been so eccentric before.

He accidentally saw Bai Mo’s hair, and as he expected, there was pink in it.

"What are you doing? You’re not allowed to think about the Judgment of Shamash. You clearly said that you would give it to me!"

Seeing that Kevin didn’t speak for a while, she thought the other party was thinking about the Judgment of Shamash, so Bai Mo immediately became vigilant.

In response, Kevin just shook his head.

"No... I was just thinking about your relationship with Elysia..."

"You’re talking about Ellie, hey, she’s still in my consciousness space!"

Hey, why didn’t you say that earlier? It made me so nervous, Bai Mo said with a smile, pointing to her head with a sigh of relief.

"Sure enough…"

Kevin nodded thoughtfully.

However, Bai Mo didn’t care about these things but instead pointed at the core of Reason in Kevin's hand. "By the way, is the core of the Herrscher of Reason useful to you? If it’s useless, give it to me. I have to return it to Anti-Entropy later."

Okay, she admitted that she just wanted to give Bronya a driver’s license.

"Here, it’s not my intention for things to turn out like this. In fact, this Herrscher didn’t give me a chance to explain."

Kevin also handed the Gem of Desireto Bai Mo. After all, the replenishment of Honkai energy had been completed, and these things were no longer useful to him. Bai Mo took it with joy.

Now, she finally had the opportunity to get the Power of the Wind for free!

"What should I do next? I can feel that the connection between the Sea of Quanta and the real world is getting weaker and weaker." Seeing that the time was almost right, Kevin observed the surroundings and then spoke.

The Void has a strong power. Even Kevin couldn’t forcibly break the barrier between the Sea of Quanta and the real world, so this kind of thing should be handed over to Bai Mo, who has the Power of the Void Herrscher.

As the saying goes, every profession has its own specialty.

"This is easy. I have a lot of coordinates in the real world. Come with me."

Bai Mo smiled when she heard this. This was her strong suit. Naturally, she couldn’t let down at this important moment.

As she said this, Bai Mo casually opened an Imaginary Portal and then took the lead in entering. Kevin did not hesitate and followed immediately.

.......

"Tesla, destroy the Eye of the Deep. You know, we can only do this."

At this point, although she was very conflicted in her heart, Einstein, who didn’t want the plan to fail, still made this choice.

Destroying the Eye of the Deep completely cuts off the connection between Abyss City and the Sea of Quanta, so people who go in can’t get out.

"But Welt... Okay, I know."

Tesla lowered her head, thinking about something in her heart.

She knew that the decision made by Einstein was also the choice of that man. If they didn’t do this, it would be a waste of Welt’s painstaking sacrifice.

With a hard heart, Tesla finally pressed the red button.

In an instant.

The earth shook, the self-destruction program was activated, a series of explosions sounded, and the Eye of the Deep, which had been half-destroyed, collapsed instantly, leaving only the wreckage in the blink of an eye.

The traction connecting the Sea of Quanta and the real world disappeared, and the crack that had originally existed above the Eye of the Deep was instantly closed, as if it had never appeared.

Looking at this scene from a distance, the people who were still fighting also stopped one after another, each with different thoughts in their hearts.

Whether it was March 7 or Aslaug, the name that had accompanied them for a short period of time had been deeply engraved in everyone’s mind.

Theresa was in a mixed mood because she didn’t know if she would see Bai Mo again after this time. If possible, she hoped that the person she met next time would not call herself Aslaug, but the name that everyone expected.

After a long silence, Theresa finally set her sights on Griseo. She still had some good feelings for this little girl, who was like a blank sheet of paper. "Although I’m sorry, it’s completely unnecessary to fight now, little girl."

"World Serpent has never been a good place to go. If possible, I hope you can come to our Saint Freya Academy."

Theresa sincerely invited Griseo.

After all, in her concept, a little girl of Griseo’s age should grow up under the care of adults, not like now.

"Sorry, everyone in the World Serpent is very nice to me, and Sister Aslaug and Brother Kevin will definitely come out."

In response, Griseo just shook her head and refused.

She believed in Bai Mo’s strength, so she would not be trapped in the Sea of Quanta because of this a small matter.

Besides, her family was also in the World Serpent, so Griseo would naturally not accept Theresa’s invitation.

----

Chapter 231: Become a Herrscher of Reason! Bronya!

At the same time, an Imaginary Portal suddenly appeared behind Griseo without any warning, and two figures, one big and one small, walked out of it, startling Theresa, Einstein, and the others.

“How is this possible?” Tesla was shocked and took a step back.

If the other party could emerge from there, did it mean that all their previous sacrifices were in vain?

For a moment, even the usually calm Einstein couldn’t help but feel a stir in her heart.

On the other hand, Bai Mo and Kevin strolled leisurely toward Griseo's side.

Of course, Bai Mo was wearing a mask at this time. The Power of Reason was very convenient.

“Why is it impossible? Don’t forget, I’m also a Herrscher of the Void. Opening a door to the Sea of Quanta is easy for me.” (Funny)

“Besides, I’ve only been gone for a short while. Are you from Saint Freya Academy planning to abduct our little Griseo?”

As if to declare her sovereignty, Bai Mo reached out and hugged Griseo in her arms, saying in a mockingly hostile tone.

“Long time no see, Griseo.”

Seeing the child of an old friend after tens of thousands of years, Kevin couldn’t help but sigh and think of the man named Hen.

“Long time no see, Brother Kevin.”

Hearing this, Griseo smiled and waved to Kevin.

But compared to the warmth of this long-awaited reunion, Theresa and the others felt a little uneasy.

For the first time, everyone saw this man named Kevin Kaslana. The cold air radiating from Kevin, the legendary strongest warrior of the last era, made everyone uncomfortable for a moment.

Seele and Schrödinger instinctively picked up their weapons, watching Kevin vigilantly. After all, they had seen his fighting ability. If he wanted, they wouldn’t be able to land a single hit. From the current situation, Welt might be in danger.

“Why? Do you think you still have a chance of winning?”

“You crazy people from World Serpent! Do you really want to destroy humanity? Even if I die here today, I will rid myself of this breath!”

Hearing Bai Mo’s teasing tone, Tesla immediately became furious and wanted to rush forward, putting on her boxing gloves.

Seeing this, Einstein and Schrödinger hurriedly grabbed her.

“Now is not the time to be impulsive!” Einstein said seriously.

“What are you doing? Let me go! The worst case is death!” Tesla struggled, staring at Bai Mo.

“Oh? It seems Dr. Tesla doesn’t want to see Mr. Welt again. That’s a pity.”

If the conditions allowed, Tesla would be so furious that steam would rise from her head. Looking at such an irritable Dr. Lobster, Bai Mo said with a very mischievous grin.

“What do you mean by that?”

“It’s very simple. I was thinking of giving you the core of the Herrscher of Reason. After all, with Welt’s power, it should be very easy for him to reshape his body using the core. But since Dr. Tesla doesn’t want it, I can’t force it on you, right?”

“After all, I’ve always respected other people’s opinions.”

As she said this, Bai Mo deliberately tossed the core of Reason into the air, causing Tesla to wish she could skin her alive.

“How about this? Let’s make a deal. If you agree, I can consider giving you the core of the Herrscher of Reason.”

Bai Mo touched the ends of her hair with interest.

“Tell me, what’s the deal?”

Sighing, Einstein spoke slowly.

“Anyway, our plan has failed, so we might as well try to find a way to rescue Welt. Otherwise, today we’ll lose both the lady and the army.”

“The deal is simple. I need you to ask Welt to hand over the Herrscher Core after he wakes up, and then give it to Bronya.”

Bai Mo smiled and pointed at Bronya, who was still in a daze.

At this moment, Bronya who had been mentioned without warning was also confused. She didn’t understand what Bai Mo was talking about.

Hand over the Herrscher Core to her? Did she want to become the Herrscher of Reason herself?

The same question appeared in the minds of everyone present. Immediately, Himeko and Kiana stood up, saying they could not agree to this request.

After all, giving the Herrscher Core to Bronya would be equivalent to harming her.

“Why? What’s the reason for you to do this?”

Theresa hesitated for a moment, then expressed her doubts.

She believed that Bai Mo wouldn’t harm Bronya without a reason, so she decided to ask her about it.

Of course, the final decision would still be up to Bronya, and none of them would interfere with her.

“It’s very simple. Welt’s body can no longer support his will. If he continues to use the Herrscher Core, he may die. And don’t think that every time he resurrects, it’s without cost.”

“So, the most suitable person to inherit the Herrscher Core right now is Bronya. No one else can wield this power except her.”

“.......”

After hearing this, Tesla and Einstein remained silent. Bai Mo was right. Every time Welt used the Herrscher Core to resurrect, his body became increasingly weak.

“Why are you so sure that no one can get this power except Bronya? Since you’re already a Herrscher, why don’t you inherit the Herrscher of Reason core yourself?”

“Or do you have other motives here?”

Himeko said coldly, standing protectively behind Bronya.

“It’s very simple. Because I believe in Bronya, it’s destined. And who said I don’t have the power of the Herrscher of Reason?”

With that, Bai Mo smiled lightly and summoned several anti-entropy Titans at will, causing everyone’s scalp to tingle.

The Herrscher of the Void, the Herrscher of Death, plus the power of the Herrscher of Reason—when can a Herrscher cheat like this?

For a moment, those who had experienced the Second Eruption couldn’t help but think of Sirin with her six cores.

“And I’m still helping you. After all, if you master the power of the Herrscher, won’t you further prevent us from implementing Project Stigma?”

Damn you see? I’m taking the blame so you can drive a Gundam. We have to fight for our dignity! I’ll take the examiner away for you this time! Just practice driving at home Bronya!

Chapter 232: Tell Me Loudly, What Is the Hardest Part of Mobius?

After this operation, Bai Mo couldn’t help but worry about Bronya. After all, Bronya hadn’t gone to the Sea of Quanta due to the timeline changes, so Bai Mo had to pave the way in this way.

Killing two birds with one stone, Bai Mo not only earned favors from Anti-Entropy but also achieved her own goal.

After saying that, Bai Mo didn’t concern himself with what everyone was thinking at the moment. She directly packed up the core of the Herrscher of Reason and threw it to Einstein.

This forced Einstein to compromise. As for when to hand over the core of the Herrscher of Reason to Bronya, it would depend on Saint Freya’s intentions. Either way, they could consider it a recovery of their losses.

"Come on, since you want to stop Project Stigma, you must grow to a certain extent."

"In addition, I look forward to our next meeting." Waving her hand, Bai Mo turned around, took Griseo’s hand, and walked toward the back.

Kevin hadn’t said a word the whole time because he knew Bai Mo must have her reasons for doing this.

Theresa and the others didn’t stop the.. After all, the overall situation had been settled, and all their efforts had been in vain.

In a place no one noticed, Kiana’s expression was strange. Especially after seeing Aslaug's eyes with gear patterns inside the mask, she couldn’t help but recall the first time she met Bai Mo.

That day in New Zealand, when Bai Mo rescued her from the ruins, she had seen those same wine-red eyes with gear patterns.

Thinking of this, Kiana felt uneasy. Everything was a little too coincidental.

The way she cared for her and the familiar eyes sparked infinite thoughts in Kiana’s mind.

"What’s wrong, Kiana? Are you still feeling unwell?"

Mei who was standing by noticed Kiana’s strange expression and hurriedly showed concern, thinking Kiana might have internal injuries.

"It’s okay, I’m just a little tired. I’ll be fine after a rest." Hearing this, Kiana forced a smile and responded casually.

In the end, she couldn’t bring herself to ask the question. She could only stare blankly at Aslaug’s receding figure.

At this point, the matter of The Deep came to an end, and the rescue plan was successfully completed—excluding Kevin as a variable.

Theresa and Einstein exchanged looks and then left without a word. As for Bronya and the Core of Reason, that was a matter to be discussed later.

Though they hadn’t successfully stopped Project Stigma in the Sea of Quanta, they had to prepare for the invasion of the [Serpent].

As everyone knew, the news that Kevin was going to implement Project Stigma was a false message conveyed by Welt.

A group of people had been kept in the dark, which made Bai Mo laugh several times.

But it was for the best; it gave them some pressure to improve their strength.

.............

On the other side, Bai Mo had already taken Kevin and Griseo on their way back.

The first thing Bai Mo did was take out the phone she had prepared for Kevin and asked him to report his safety to everyone in the World Serpent group.

Due to Kevin’s presence, Bai Mo couldn’t fully relax when near Griseo, which made her uncomfortable.

Fortunately, the aircraft moved quickly, and time passed fast. By the morning of the second day, Bai Mo and her group finally arrived at World Serpent.

At the entrance of World Serpent, Eden and the others who had been waiting for a long time, smiled upon seeing Bai Mo and her group. They immediately went forward to greet them.

Bang! ×8

Everyone held a salute tube in their hands, twisted it gently, and colorful ribbons immediately sprayed out, scattering in the air.

"Boss Kevin! Lau and Griseo, welcome back!"

Putting aside the salute tube in her hand, Padu flew up happily.

After all, with Kevin back, there would be someone to protect her again.

"Lau, you and Griseo have worked hard along the way, and welcome back, Kevin."

"Long time no see, Kevin."

Eden and Ying handed out wine glasses to welcome the three, smiling warmly.

Wei Vill-V also made a new thing and gave it to Kevin as a gift.

"Everyone... Long time no see."

Even Kevin was slightly moved after seeing the scene that everyone had prepared for him.

Looking at these former comrades, Kevin couldn’t help but smile, a small arc appearing on his lips.

Perhaps only when he was with them did Kevin feel a little relaxed.

After all, the burden he carried was too heavy.

Behind Kevin, Bai Mo held Griseo’s hand, not intending to interrupt the greetings.

Her gaze then locked onto Kosma. After noticing her, Bai Mo walked straight over with Griseo in her arms.

The two quickly started talking. While the conversation was inaudible, it was clear that Kosma was gradually becoming more interested in talking to Bai Mo. Eventually, a moment of silence fell.

There was nothing more to say, and finally, as if having given in, Kosma shook his head helplessly.

Bai Mo smiled victoriously and left, satisfied.

Griseo did not voice any opinions during the entire process.

At the same time, to better celebrate Kevin’s return, Eden took everyone to the previous courtyard, where she had prepared fine wine and delicacies.

Gray Serpent and Raven were also busy making arrangements.

The group quickly sat down and enjoyed the wonderful time together.

After three rounds of drinking, a drunk Mobius complained to Klein beside her.

"Klein, didn’t I tell you not to take these things out?"

Mobius was referring to the salute cannons, which she had ordered online. Of course, she bought them for fun, not for any special preparations.

But what she hadn’t expected was for Klein to distribute the salute cannons to everyone as soon as they arrived.

Mobius almost wanted to find a hole to crawl into.

But fortunately, Elysia had been sleeping these days. If she knew about this, she would laugh at Mobius.

"But after all, you bought them, Doctor. I think it’s better to use them."

Hearing this, Klein turned into a ruthless demolition machine, causing Mobius to be completely defeated and ashamed.

(Klein: Doctor, tsundere is out of fashion.)

(Bai Mo: Hmm! Serpent’s mouth is very hard!)

Chapter 233: Bai Mo's "Gift"

After the banquet, Bai Mo quietly approached Vill-V and patted her shoulder a little embarrassedly.

Feeling the movement behind her, Vill-V turned around. After realizing that the person was Bai Mo, she slowly said, "What's wrong, Lau? Do you have something to ask me?"

"Hehe, Sister Vill-V is really powerful. She even guessed it." Hearing this, Bai Mo rubbed her hands expectantly.

"Tell me, what do you want me to repair this time?"

"It's nothing big. I just want to ask Sister Vill-V to help me repair Ankuken Kurayami again."

"Why? Wasn't it still fine when it was tested before? Or is there something I didn't notice? It shouldn't be."

Vill-V was a little puzzled. After all, with her skills, it was absolutely impossible for her to have failed to repair it.

After thinking about it, she couldn't figure out which steps she might have missed. Vill-V looked at Bai Mo, hoping to find the answer from her.

"It was indeed repaired last time, but I appear to have broken it again during my mission this time." Bai Mo spoke in a very low voice, like a child who had done something wrong.

"It shouldn't be. The strength of that suit of armor is still very high. By the way, what did you do, Lau?"

Hearing this, Vill-V was also a little curious. After all, the last time the Caliburn was damaged, it had been hit by Kalpas. She had tested that suit of armor before, and its strength was very high. It was basically impossible for ordinary people and Honkai Beasts to break through its defense.

"It was... I just launched an awesome attack."

Bai Mo raised her index finger.

"Speak in plain language."

"Well, I played with the Shamash An-Utu after the transformation, and then many places on the armor were melted. The high-temperature resistance is a bit low, so I hope Sister Vill-V can help me strengthen it."

"....."

"Okay, I will give the items to the [Expert]. I'll send you a message after the repair."

Vill-V shrugged, then smiled helplessly.

However, after adding high-temperature resistance, its safety could be improved. Thinking that Bai Mo would frequently use Shamash in the future, Vill-V was happy to help.

After all, safety comes first, and family members never ask twice. She makes some small requests, and she just need to satisfy them.

"Great! Sister Vill-V is the best!"

Bai Mo gave a big hug, happily handing Ankuken Kurayami to Vill-V. The two exchanged a few words before parting.

At the same time, Bai Mo was also thinking whether she should give Vill-V a small gift when she went to pick up the items next time.

As a person of the Chinese nation with a good family background, she felt this was necessary.

But what should she give specifically?

Bai Mo felt it was necessary to ask the omnipotent group members for advice.

She probably couldn't get a Seiken, but she could try to get the One-eyed Little Treasure from Teyvat and the mechanical creations of the Unspeakable True Lord.

It is better to act than to be moved. She glanced at Griseo, who was drawing with Ling in the distance. With Raven accompanying her, she felt relieved to lie on the grass and meet her online friend.

[Aslaug]: "@Rock Demon, excuse me, are you there, old man?"

After sending the message, Bai Mo waited in the chat interface.

Zhongli, who was far away in Teyvat and walking his bird in Liyue Harbor, suddenly felt that someone in the chat group had tagged him. Out of curiosity, he immersed his mind in the chat.

[Rock Demon]: "Yes, Miss Bai, do you have something to ask of me?"

A "ding ding" sounded, and seeing that Zhongli had sent the message, Bai Mo immediately replied.

[Aslaug]: "Yes, there is indeed something I want to ask you, old man."

[Aslaug]: "I have a great engineer friend. Recently, I want to give her some gifts. After thinking about it, I believe the Ruin Guards of Teyvat and some mechanical creations of Master Cloud Retainer are more suitable. So I want to ask if it's convenient for you to get some for me!"

[Aslaug]: "Of course, this can also be regarded as a contract. If you need anything in the future, old man, I will definitely help."

Well, in fact, even without the contract, Bai Mo would take action when necessary.

She said this just to let Zhongli know that she was very concerned about this matter.

After Bai Mo sent the message, Zhongli did not reply immediately.

Maybe he was considering it, or maybe the elderly take too long to type by hand. Either way, Bai Mo waited five minutes before she got a reply.

[Demon of Rock]: "So the contract is done. I have told Liuyun about this matter. I will find those things in three days."

Nice, you are worthy of being an old man. This speed is simply unparalleled!

Seeing that the matter was settled, Bai Mo did not hide it and immediately prepared some return gifts for Zhongli. Oh no, it could also be said to be a gift for the whole of Liyue.

[Aslaug]: "Then I would like to thank the old man here. And I heard that you like to listen to storytelling, so I also prepared some small gifts."

As she said this, Bai Mo uploaded the "big gifts" she had prepared to the mall of the chat group, hoping that these "big gifts" could bring some spiritual comfort to the people of Liyue.

After all, Liyue's books talk about the same few things over and over again, and it's time to bring in some fresh blood!

Keep up with the times! Just like this.

銆怐emon of Rock銆: "In that case, thank you, Miss Bai."

Clicking on the mall, the books uploaded by Bai Mo were displayed one by one. The affordable prices were reasonable even for Zhongli. With a wave of his hand, Zhongli directly pocketed all of them.

The feeling of paying for it yourself... is indeed not as good as getting it for free.

Zhongli murmurs to himself.

Then he exited the chat group and walked to the place where Iron Tongue Tian was telling stories.

At this time, many people who came to listen to storytelling had gathered.

However, Zhongli was not in a hurry. He just found an empty seat and sat down. While Iron Tongue Tian was still resting, he took out the book he had just gotten from the mall and began reading it with relish.

Indeed, after listening to more stories of the emperor, Zhongli was very serious about reading these new stories. Soon, he became completely engrossed.

The characterization of the characters in the book, the touching plot, and the fascinating descriptions of the scenery all made Zhongli feel amazed.

While Zhongli was concentrating on reading, a short, blue-haired young man was secretly watching from behind him.

Xingqiu, the eldest son of the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce, was a regular customer of Iron Tongue Tian and was very interested in some fairy-tale novels.

Half an hour later...

Just when Zhongli had finished reading half of the book and was about to go home, Xingqiu suddenly couldn't help but ask, "Excuse me, Mr. Zhongli, who wrote this novel in your hand and what is its title?"

Zhongli had already noticed Xingqiu and was not surprised by his question.

"This book was given to me by a friend. It's called 'Legend of Sword and Fairy.'"

Chapter 234: Bai Mo! Danger!

In the past few days since Kevin returned, World Serpent has not made any significant moves. Instead, it seems to be gathering strength and keeping a low profile.

After all, after this incident, World Serpent will definitely be exposed to the world, and both Anti-Entropy and Saint Freya Academy are deliberately investigating.

Kevin's strategy is to avoid unnecessary trouble, not because he fears them.

With World Serpent's current combat power, it could even push back Schicksal. Furthermore, Project Stigma has been shelved by Kevin. Human unity is essential; in the fight against the Honkai, civil war is an absurd notion.

Once, the high-ranking officials of the Fire Chaser Moth were corrupt, ignorant, and arrogant, leading to their self-destruction.

Today, as usual, Kevin sits in the meeting room of World Serpent, holding a bowl of instant noodles while deep in thought.

Thump, thump, thump!

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door, which then opened, and a beautiful figure entered while walking straight toward Kevin.

Looking up, Kevin glanced at the person with some confusion but did not speak.

"Braised?"

After a moment, Bai Mo caught the familiar fragrance and slowly spoke.

Before her transmigration, she had eaten a lot of instant noodles—not for any particular reason, but for convenience.

Now, thinking back, she really missed it. After all, since transmigration, she had been eating fish and meat every day, and had no chance to enjoy simple food again.

"Yes, with peppers. What? Do you want some?"

As if seeing through Bai Mo's thoughts, Kevin took out a bucket of instant noodles from the carton next to him.

"That’s great, I won’t be polite!"

Bai Mo grinned and skillfully opened the package, added the seasonings, and poured in boiling water. Instantly, the familiar scent wafted up.

It was a pity that it wasn’t tomato-flavored, or Bai Mo would have liked it even more.

The two of them ate the noodles in silence, finishing the meal without speaking.

Afterward, Kevin put down his chopsticks and looked at Bai Mo seriously. "...you didn’t come here just to eat noodles, did you?"

"Yeah, I came to discuss future matters," Bai Mo replied.

"You have a plan?"

"It’s a bit too early to talk about plans now, but I have some ideas," Bai Mo answered seriously.

After all, World Serpent can’t continue on its old path; it must look forward.

"Tell me, let me hear your ideas."

Kevin’s tone was as cold as ever, but Bai Mo could sense a hint of expectation in his voice.

"My idea is simple, but before I elaborate, I want to ask something first: Kevin, can you still steal the Herrscher powers through Prometheus No. 17 now?"

Without wasting time, Bai Mo directly addressed the key point.

"The power of Finality needs to be carried bit by bit. At present, No. 17 does not have this ability, and I can’t do it."

Kevin understood immediately what Bai Mo was asking, so he responded directly.

No. 17 still needed to remain dormant. Kevin would not contact it until the very last moment.

"Okay, that’s true," Bai Mo said, not disappointed, since it was what she had expected.

This outcome gave her more time to develop. At least, after Kevin stole the power of Finality, she wouldn't be far from restoring her own power.

It was unfortunate for Prometheus No. 17, who had to work two jobs alone and was ruthlessly exploited by capital.

Seeing Kevin’s puzzled expression, Bai Mo immediately explained: "My idea is very simple. When you steal the power of the End and I successfully recover my strength, we can go to the Cocoon of Finality together to achieve the goal we've always wanted."

"I believe that with the combined power of the two Finality, we will have enough to seal the world's Honkai energy. Moreover, with Ellie’s help, our success rate will be even higher."

"Of course, I haven't worked out the specific plan yet. For now, I can only focus on collecting the Herrscher powers."

Bai Mo explained her thoughts in detail and shared everything on her mind with Kevin.

To be more direct, Bai Mo used the power of the Herrscher of Sentience to reproduce the information she had captured from the future fragments.

After reading it, Kevin nodded.

After all, this was the only feasible method at present, and Kevin wouldn’t refuse. Even if sacrifices were required, he would charge forward without hesitation.

Bai Mo caught something in Kevin’s eyes and shook her head, not saying anything else.

In the original plot, Kiana couldn’t return to Earth. Bai Mo had always suspected that Project Stigma had caused irreparable damage to the Earth, and since Kiana hadn’t fully mastered the Power of Finality, Earth might not be able to withstand her return.

The new Earth was still fragile.

But Project Stigma had not yet started in this timeline. Compared to Kiana’s late-stage Herrscher of Finality, Bai Mo, who was born with the Finality, had better control over the Honkai energy. Kevin, too, would fare better. So, it won't be like in the original plot, so it should not prevent their return to Earth.

Thinking of this, Bai Mo was in a good mood. She patted Kevin on the shoulder. "Don’t think too much. The road ahead is the most important. The past is just a reference. After all, we can do better, right?"

"Yeah," Kevin replied, knowing that she was right. He had only been sighing earlier.

"Let’s go. Let me see your current strength, and you can absorb the power of the gem while we’re at it." Kevin stood up, looked at Bai Mo..

"Huh? Ah!!!"

For a moment, Bai Mo didn’t react. She just stood there blankly staring while still processing Kevin’s words.

Show her own strength? Was he embarrassed to say this? Was he just making her a punching bag? This was definitely bullying! She hadn’t provoked him at all!

The resentment emanating from Bai Mo was almost palpable, and she glared at Kevin.

"Strength improvement is necessary, and besides, didn’t you say it yourself? We can do better," Kevin remarked as he walked out, leaving Bai Mo behind.

"Damn..." Bai Mo muttered under her breath.

Chapter 235:

Kevin: "That's all I can say about strength."

On the battlefield, Kevin's aura was like a mountain, pressing down on Bai Mo's heart.

Although the battle hadn't started yet, an unprecedented pressure filled the air causing Bai Mo's hand which gripped her sword to tremble.

The others who had heard the news stood far away, intending to carefully watch the battle.

"Attack with all your strength, don't hold back." Without moving, Kevin stood still and spoke lightly. This was absolute confidence in his own strength, and Kevin surely had the power to back it up.

Bai Mo did not underestimate him, because even if Kevin hadn't said it, she would still use all her strength.

"Take this!"

With a slight movement of her legs, the power that exploded made Bai Mo shoot forward like an arrow from a bow.

In a flash, she reached Kevin's back, a fire-colored streak flashing through the air. She thrust her sword, the scorching heat surging forward. The blade followed closely, about to strike in the blink of an eye.

Just as Bai Mo thought she would succeed, Kevin had anticipated it. He cleverly sidestepped, evading the attack.

Still having some strength left, he stomped his foot, and several black ice pillars erupted from the ground, shooting toward Bai Mo.

Crack.

The frost spread rapidly, freezing everything in its path, and the cold air filled the battlefield.

Seeing this, Bai Mo quickly retreated. She was shocked by the sudden change.

Sure enough, her speed was still too slow compared to Kevin's. If it had been anyone else, they wouldn't have been able to dodge so easily.

As she pondered this, Bai Mo swung Shamash in her hand, unleashing a sword wave that shattered several ice pillars.

The spreading frost on the ground stopped at her feet. Not daring to be careless, she immediately slashed several more times, sending hot sword waves forward, though they disappeared into the imaginary portals midway.

Since close combat wasn't working, Bai Mo decided to play long-range.

Thinking of her previous battle with Touma, she planned to imitate that strategy.

However, Kevin quickly saw through her plan.

As soon as the imaginary portal opened, he reacted without hesitation. He took a step forward, then leapt, and before Bai Mo could react, Kevin was at her side, grabbing the blade of Shamash with one hand.

Seeing this, Bai Mo dared not summon the imaginary portal again. She didn’t know if Kevin would be hurt, but it was certain that she would be.

"You have too many flaws."

Like a lecture, Kevin shook his head and casually threw Bai Mo aside.

This level of battle was like a game for Kevin, requiring no effort at all.

"Tsk, it’s not over yet."

Bai Mo smirked.

You didn’t expect this, but here’s my escape route!

Opening a Imaginary Portal behind her and stepping through, she intended to surprise him.

Carrying the sword wave, Bai Mo created hundreds of sub-space lances in rapid succession.

Although these wouldn’t cause significant damage to Kevin, they could still serve as a distraction.

After all, she never intended to gain an advantage from Kevin; her only goal was to lose Griseofully.

Seeing the time was right, Bai Mo adjusted the coordinates and appeared directly above Kevin.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Hundreds of sub-spatial spears shot out simultaneously, covering a wide range, leaving Kevin with little space to avoid them.

But Kevin simply waved his hand, and an ice shield formed in front of him to block the attack.

The spears fell like a torrential rain. Upon closer inspection, a layer of black death energy coated them.

Once the sub-space lances exploded, the death energy would spread across the field. If she was lucky, it could cause secondary damage to Kevin.

Boom!

A series of explosions followed, creating a shocking spectacle, but as Bai Mo expected, the attacks barely scratched Kevin’s shield, only leaving a scattering of ice debris.

In a battlefield filled with death, Bai Mo’s methods were far from limited.

Soon, Kevin had his vision obstructed. He sensed something was wrong. The faint fluctuations in the Honkai energy around him indicated an imminent crisis.

But it was too late to react. The sky was filled with flames, and Bai Mo raised the Holy Judge of Shamash high into the air.

"Judgment of Shamash, 0th power!"

"Might of An-Utu!"

At the same time, the power of the Herrscher of Reason reappeared. It trapped Kevin in a steel cage.

The flames, which had blotted out the sky and the sun, condensed into a single point. The overwhelming force transformed into a massive dragon of fire, descending and engulfing the entire battlefield.

The onlookers quickly moved out of the way, fearing they might be caught in the blast.

The cage was the first to fail, melting under the intense heat and transforming into a pool of molten iron. Kevin’s frost shield gradually melted, then shattered.

The last line of defense disappeared, and the flames immediately consumed Kevin’s entire body.

In mid-air, Bai Mo couldn’t help but smile as she watched the scene.

What an awesome attack!

After Might of An-Utu had been unsheathed, Bai Mo's arms were burned to varying degrees, but these injuries were slowly healing under the power of creation.

However, the joy was short-lived. In the next moment, Bai Mo felt the temperature around her drop by over ten degrees, as if she were plunged into an endless winter, cold to the bone.

It was the power of Parvati! Kevin had made his move, and Bai Mo instantly understood.

Crack!

The sound of something freezing echoed.

Subconsciously, she looked down and saw that the flames created by the Shamash had been completely frozen, forming an ice sculpture. The flames that could melt anything were now trapped in it, creating a shocking sight.

The reason why that sword becomes my weapon is because only I can break it with my own hands. When it comes to power, I can only say this.

For a moment, Bai Mo couldn’t help but recall Kevin’s words in her mind.

A drop of cold sweat fell, instantly freezing. Bai Mo was about to retreat into the imaginary portal, not daring to look back.

This is so bad. If she doesn't run now, she'll be beaten.

As she thought this, Bai Mo opened the Imaginary Portal, only to feel an ordinary hand land on her shoulder.

"Uh… Too late!!"

Turning around, she tried to use her consciousness power to buy some time, but before she could react, Kevin punched Bai Mo, sending her crashing down.

After a dizzying spin, Bai Mo barely stabilized her body in the air and landed steadily.

But the pain in her shoulder made it clear just how powerful Kevin’s punch had been.

Almost… her shoulder was broken.

"No more fighting! I don’t want to play anymore! You’re bullying me!"

The healing white light reappeared, and Bai Mo, knowing she would only be beaten if she continued, decided to retreat.

----

Chapter 236 Bai Mo: All Causes and Effects will be Reversed by me!

Pardo never forgets to open her small shop.

As Bai Mo heard Pardo shouting in the distance about melon seeds, snacks, and mineral water, she couldn't help but smile helplessly.

Opening an imaginary portal to secretly grab a bottle of coke, Bai Mo unscrewed the cap and drank a generous amount.

It’s not too much for her to take a little!

During the break, Kevin walked over slowly.

The terrifying aura that had once surrounded him was now completely restrained, and the temperature around him rose rapidly.

Bai Mo shuddered and quickly turned around.

“You’re still too weak now, but at least you’re much stronger than ordinary people,” Kevin remarked. He offered a fair evaluation. He knew that Bai Mo hadn’t used her full strength during the battle.

After all, if Bai Mo had used the Power of Finality, even he would have found it tricky to handle. Regardless of the difference in strength, the power of time was unreasonable.

In time, he would undoubtedly be surpassed by her, but Kevin wasn’t worried about it at all.

“Hehe, a bit weak, but there’s no problem with self-protection.”

If you can’t beat them, run away! It's all about hiding!

Bai Mo scratched her head and smiled.

“Well, I’ll dedicate some time every month to train you the way I trained the Fire Moth. That should ensure your strength doesn’t decline,” Kevin said, nodding.

During the battle, Kevin had realized that Bai Mo’s fighting style was purely idealistic, without any systematic training. This was a major flaw when fighting against others. If you're not careful, the opponent could break your rhythm and put you in danger.

It’s like an ordinary person who has learned a few moves from the internet and then goes up against a well-trained fighter—it would be strange if they didn’t get beaten badly.

Of course, Bai Mo could use the power of the Herrscher to compensate for this flaws, but that was far less important than improving her own strength.

However, Kevin was surprised by Bai Mo’s swordsmanship, as he could see a hint of Hua’s influence, though that was about all.

“No problem,” Bai Mo agreed. She was not refusing the offer. She knew very well what she lacked—combat experience and skills.

So after Kevin’s training, her strength would definitely see a significant boost.

Getting beaten up is just part of the process; it's her profit in the end!

The two exchanged some more words, and then with Kevin’s reminder, Bai Mo recalled that she still had something to do: absorbing the power of the Gem of Desire and turning it into her own.

After all, this was the real reason Kevin had brought Bai Mo here. Since he had never seen her absorb the power of the Herrscher, he intended to act as insurance in case of any unknown risks.

What Kevin didn’t know was that absorbing power was as easy as drinking water for Bai Mo; it just took a little longer, at most.

“Let’s get started,” Kevin said calmly, showing no sign of nervousness.

Bai Mo nodded, and with a thought, the Gem of Desire appeared in her hand.

Honestly, Bai Mo was a little excited at this moment. After all, this was the power to control the ideal fluid.

An ideal fluid is one that’s incompressible and has no viscosity (zero viscosity). Wind is essentially the flow of air, and controlling wind is about controlling the flow of air—so it fits perfectly with the power of the Gem of Desire. Wind blades, tornadoes, flying through the air, and controlling light refraction for optical invisibility—these are all possible.

Hiss, thinking of this, Bai Mo couldn’t help but have a bold idea.

Wind Stealth + Finality Time Stop = (Hehehe, fill in the blanks yourself).

In terms of power, Bai Mo really was getting creative!

Ahem, let’s put these unhealthy thoughts aside and focus on the matter at hand. Water and air are both nearly ideal fluids, so theoretically, there should be no problem for the Wind Herrscher to manipulate water.

And let’s not forget the proportion of water in the human body.

So, if Bai Mo uses the Herrscher of Wind's power properly, she could become almost invincible!

Bai Mo thought, It seems there will be another Heavenly Emperor in this world after all!! I am the Heavenly Emperor, and I will suppress all enemies in the world!(Funny)

With an excited heart and trembling hands, after some fantasizing, Bai Mo began absorbing the power of the Gem of Desire.

Unlike when she absorbed the Serenity Gem, the Honkai energy emitted by the Gem of Desire was now extremely docile, like a cat without a temper, quietly resting in the palm of Bai Mo’s hand.

The restless wind in the air gradually calmed down, transforming into emerald green streams that surrounded Bai Mo, slowly wrapping around her.

When she closed her eyes and focused, Bai Mo felt as if the wind around her was part of her body, easily controllable with a thought.

After a long while, when she had successfully absorbed the power, a pair of wings made of wind appeared on Bai Mo’s back. The immense power filled her entire body, and she could even feel that she could create a hurricane strong enough to destroy a city.

Of course, these were just her excited feelings after gaining new power. If she truly wanted to do this, she would need more skill.

Meanwhile, Kevin was carefully watching Bai Mo. This was the first time he had seen someone absorb a power in such a manner. The process was smooth, with nothing to be concerned about.

The power of the Herrscher was simply a projection of Finality, so Kevin didn’t find anything unusual about it.

At that moment, others who were far away from the battlefield also rushed over, as Bai Mo’s actions had been too loud to ignore.

Among them, Mobius’ eyes were particularly intense, her gaze devouring as she looked at Bai Mo, almost as if she wanted to consume her on the spot.

This little white mouse kept surprising her.

The last time in Elysian Realm, Bai Mo had only used two kinds of Herrscher powers, but now she had five.

Pardo who had been standing nearby was equally intrigued. She quickly approached Bai Mo to observe her, as if she were eyeing some rare animal.

“Pardo, stop it! You won’t feel itchy if you tickle it; the wings are just phantom limbs!” Bai Mo said, not backing down.

She immediately grabbed Pardo’s tail, ready to tickle her back.

Let’s see who can win this time!

Chapter 237: Good News from Elysia

"No... don't! Boss Kevin, Sister Snake, Sister Eden! Help!"

"Lau... no, Sister Aslaug! I was wrong, I won't dare to do it again! It will break down if I continue like this!"

The tail is the most sensitive part of her body, and Bai Mo held it in her hand, rubbing it. Naturally, Pardo couldn't resist this attack and could only beg for mercy.

However, Bai Mo turned a deaf ear to her pleas. After all, the tail felt very good, and she couldn't let it go for a while.

"Hmph, Pardo, were you very happy when I was beaten just now? I saw your mouth almost raised to the sky. Now you dare to tease me, huh?"

Bai Mo pretended to be angry and said, narrowing her eyes.

"No! We were just having some fun while doing business, it's definitely not what you think, Lau!"

"Really?"

"Really, really! It can't be that real again!"

Pardo waved her hands quickly when she saw this.

"Okay, then I'll let you go this time, but if there's a next time... hehe."

As she said this, Bai Mo put her hands on Pardo's waist and pinched it a few times in a playful way. It was soft and elastic!

That's right, she was taking advantage of the situation here!

But how could Pardo know Bai Mo's bad intentions? She was too innocent and could only be led by the nose.

"Hehe, I knew you were the best, Lau."

Knowing that Bai Mo was just joking, Pardo didn't mind and immediately smiled.

Just then, a familiar voice sounded, startling everyone present.

"Hi, long time no see, did you miss me?"

Bai Mo who had been playing with Pardo paused for a moment. The next second, Elysia's consciousness came online. After realizing that everyone was there, Elysia greeted them.

Then she looked around and saw a familiar figure. Elysia was a little surprised, "Wow! Kevin is back too! Long time no see!"

"Long time no see, Elysia."

Although he had known for a while that Elysia and Bai Mo were now sharing a body, Kevin was still a little surprised upon seeing it in person.

After all, the identities of these two—one being the origin and the other Finality—could only be described as somewhat...

"Of course, everyone has been talking about you all the time."

At this time, Eden also responded with a smile.

Mobius just turned her head and snorted when she saw this, but her eyes still unconsciously glanced over there a few times.

Pardo also waved and greeted, very happy.

"Ellie, you are awake. How is the core problem?"

The most surprised person was Bai Mo. After all, Elysia was in the critical process of repairing her core. Logically, she shouldn’t have woken up so easily. Out of concern, she asked.

"This is thanks to you, Lau, for absorbing the power of the Gem of Desire. Otherwise, I would have had to wait a while to come out."

Raising her hand and touching her face, Elysia smiled.

Bai Mo immediately realized that if this was the case, then as long as she awakened a few more powers of the Herrscher, Elysia's core would be completely restored, right?

This was great news!

Bai Mo: I will reflect! I am cheap! I just want her body!!

"So, Ellie, how many powers do you need to recover?" Bai Mo asked immediately, not beating around the bush.

"Well... in the current situation, we only need one more."

"One? That's easy. The Fifth Eruption will break out soon. I'll get the Ice Herrscher's core then!" Bai Mo raised her fist and said confidently.

It was just an Ice Herrscher's core. Maybe she could also get the Rock Herrscher's core at that time.

However, the latter possibility seemed low. After all, when she asked Ana before, the other party didn’t seem to know Chen Tianwu. Bai Mo just thought it was a matter of world line change.

"Isn't there still some time before the Fifth Eruption?"

Silently istening quietly, Kevin suddenly spoke out of concern for the timing of the Eruption.

Since he had been lurking before, he hadn’t been paying attention to the news in the chat, so he was a little behind in terms of information.

"Ah? Kevin, you don’t even check the ch... ahem, you don’t even pay attention to Coral Island."

Bai Mo subconsciously complained but quickly realized she almost said the wrong thing. She quickly corrected herself and continued explaining in a different way.

"There has been a little incident on Coral Island recently, and Otto has sent people to investigate. It is estimated that in less than half a month, the Fifth Eruption will break out on Coral Island."

However, her little slip could not be hidden from everyone’s eyes, but they didn’t reveal it.

When Kevin was in the Sea of Quanta before, Bai Mo could still contact him. They had long suspected there was something hidden, and sure enough, there must be some secrets behind it.

"I will ask  Gray Serpent to send someone to keep an eye on Coral Island in the near future. In addition, I’ll go with you to the Fifth Eruption."

"That's even better. I'm afraid I can't handle it alone."

Originally planning to find someone, Bai Mo felt relieved after hearing Kevin's words. Moreover, with Kevin's strength, she would definitely have an easier time on Coral Island this time.

After all, she would waste a lot of time just helping Ana and the others move to a safe area.

"In that case, I'll join in the fun. After all, I really want to see the Fifth Eruption."

At this moment, Mobius suddenly interrupted. She had been in the laboratory for so long, and now took the opportunity to go out and relax.

Of course, more importantly, she still wanted to observe Bai Mo more closely.

"Huh?"

Bai Mo was stunned when she heard this and thought she was hallucinating.

"Why, little white mouse, don't you welcome me?"

"No, no, I'm just a little surprised. After all, Mobius, you've been doing a lot of experiments recently."

Seeing Mobius staring at her with dangerous eyes, Bai Mo immediately waved her hand with a bitter smile.

"It doesn't matter. Klein can handle those experiments alone. On the contrary, I really want to study you, little white mouse..."

"Ahem... Bold Snake demon! How dare you speak so arrogantly! Look at my mighty dragon! Daluo magic spell!"

Of course, Bai Mo only thought about this in her heart and didn’t dare say it out loud.

238:

After silently mourning for Klein for three seconds, Bai Mo had no choice but to agree to Mobius' request.

Rounding off, with the Fifth Eruption, the World Serpent went directly to the three MANTIS, and now there would be fun on the side of Shamash.

Just take it easy, and then you can sit back and enjoy the achievements, without any worries.

As for the remaining action plan to go to Coral Island, Bai Mo hinted to Kevin to check the news in the group, and she was too lazy to say it.

After sending Mobius away, Bai Mo invited Eden and Pardo to return to her residence.

As soon as they opened the door and entered the living room, everyone saw Griseo painting with a paintbrush. After all, Bai Mo was now Griseo's guardian, so the two naturally had to live together.

"Sister Eden, Sister Pardo, Sister Aslaug, welcome back."

Noticing the movement at the door, Griseo stopped what she was doing and greeted them.

"Griseo, we're here to play with you!"

Putting on slippers, Pardo ran over first.

Seeing this, Eden smiled and waved, then poured a glass of orange juice and placed it next to Griseo.

"Oh, little Griseo didn't notice me, I'm so sad!"

Seeing that everyone had been greeted, Elysia pretended to be dissatisfied at this time.

"Welcome back, sister Elysia."

Griseo really hadn't noticed Elysia's presence just now, so she quickly added.

"It's okay, it's okay, how could I blame our little Griseo!"

Putting her hand on Griseo's head and rubbing it, Elysia smiled.

"Okay, okay, then you guys chat first, I'll go to the kitchen to make some food, and then we'll drink a little with sister Eden's wine!"

Looking at the happy scene in the room, Bai Mo felt a warm feeling in her heart.

"Okay, it just so happens that we can all try your cooking skills, Lau. I haven't tasted food from Shenzhou in a long time."

"Shenzhou food!! Let's order sweet and sour carp!"

Pardo's eyes sparkled as she raised her hands and shouted. She had seen the pictures on the internet before, and now she had the opportunity to eat it, so she was very excited.

"I want it too, I want it too!"

Seeing this, Elysia also came over to join in the fun.

"Hmm? What do you want to eat, Ellie?"

"Let me think... then order another serving of sweet and sour pork tenderloin and pot-fried pork!"

"Okay, then leave it to me. Sister Eden and Griseo, do you have any special dishes you want to eat?"

Seeing that everyone had ordered their dishes, Bai Mo didn't favor one over the other and asked the two of them one after another.

After all, it didn't take much time to make these dishes. On the contrary, Bai Mo was still very proud to be able to promote the food of Shenzhou at this time.

"I don't know much about this, Lau, just do whatever you want."

"Well, I want a string of candied haws."

"Okay, but candied haws are desserts after meals, and Griseo can only eat them after the meal."

Bai Mo raised her finger and said seriously. She had made a string of candied haws for Griseo before. It seemed that this child liked the sour and sweet taste.

It just so happened that Pardo and Elysia both ordered sour and sweet dishes, so Griseo would definitely like them.

"Yeah."

Hearing this, Griseo nodded obediently.

Bai Mo quickly walked to the kitchen, put on an apron, took out the corresponding ingredients, and started to get busy.

Da da da.

The kitchen knife in Bai Mo's hand seemed to be endowed with a soul, and it quickly processed the ingredients on the table.

Although she hadn't cooked for a long time, she didn't feel unfamiliar at all.

A live fish was taken out, killed in a few strokes, the scales scraped off, the internal organs removed, and then the knife was changed. These processes were operated smoothly without any delay. The tenderloin was also quickly cut into strips by Bai Mo and then marinated.

Elysia watched silently, admiring Bai Mo's operation.

Well! Girls who can cook are a super plus point!

After about an hour and a half, bursts of fragrance wafted out of the kitchen, causing everyone in the living room to swallow their saliva.

"Wow! Just looking at it makes my appetite grow. It's worthy of being Lau!"

One dish after another was served on the plate. There was no so-called holy light, but the aroma emitted by the food itself made people indulge in it.

Elysia couldn't help it and immediately turned into a little greedy cat, secretly picking up the chopsticks to taste the sweet and sour pork tenderloin and pot-fried pork she had ordered.

"Hmm! This taste is really delicious!"

She didn't hesitate to praise Bai Mo. The sweet and sour taste made Elysia love it.

"You just eat it secretly. Okay, let's take it out quickly, otherwise, it will be unpalatable when it gets cold."

"Okay, okay, I can't wait to start eating!"

After taking out a napkin to wipe the grease from her mouth, Bai Mo quickly picked up the plate and ran out.

When they came to the living room, everyone was already sitting around the table. Looking at the delicious dishes served by Bai Mo, they quickly stood up to help.

"Don't stand there. These dishes will be unpalatable when they get cold. In addition, I can make some more if it's not enough."

After serving a portion of rice to everyone present, Bai Mo quickly asked everyone to start eating.

Hearing this, everyone did not hesitate and immediately picked up their chopsticks to start eating.

"Hmm! This sweet and sour carp is so delicious!! Lau, would you consider joining our small shop? I think this will definitely sell well!"

After taking a bite, the fish fragrance overflowed, and the sweet and sour soup burst in her mouth. For a moment, Pardo seemed to have discovered a new world. The chopsticks in her hand moved rapidly, as if she had some deep hatred with this fish.

There were also pork, green onion, and shrimp dumplings. Eden ate them happily. With a dish of vinegar and a little wine, she was very comfortable.

Griseo also liked the pot-fried pork and sweet and sour pork tenderloin. Like Elysia, the two of them quickly finished them one by one.

This could be regarded as the benefit of two people sharing a body. During the whole process, Bai Mo enjoyed Elysia's feeding, and she didn't move her chopsticks at all.

The tacit understanding between the two often only required a glance, and Elysia knew what Bai Mo wanted to eat.

When the meal was halfway through, Bai Mo didn't forget to take a group photo and post it to the group chat of the Golden Courtyard.

Of course, while showing off, she also acted as a courier, using the Imaginary Portal to deliver the food she had prepared in advance to everyone.

Especially Mobius's portion, which was much larger than the others. This was not only because of Klein's portion but more because Bai Mo was worried that Mobius wouldn't eat well during the experiment, so she was particularly concerned.

There was also Raven. Although she was not in the Golden Courtyard, Bai Mo still prepared a portion for her.

Chapter 239: Change of Plan

In the room, Kevin was startled when he saw the lunch box that suddenly appeared on the table. For some reason, the instant noodles in his hand instantly lost their fragrance.

He opened the lunch box and inhaled the scent. Kevin picked up a piece of fish with chopsticks and put it in his mouth.

A wonderful sensation rushed to his head. The fish was smooth, delicate, tangy, and sweet, with a perfect texture—not dry at all.

After a long hesitation, he decided to abandon the instant noodles in his hand. Kevin walked over to the other side of the room and began eating heartily.

Kevin: Cool.

................................

Elsewhere, whether it was Mobius's laboratory, Vill-V's magic workshop, or Sakura and Rin's home, everyone remembered the taste after experiencing Bai Mo's culinary skills.

So much so that everyone had the same thought: next time they all gathered, the cooking should be left to Bai Mo!

After all, while Sakura was great at making rice balls, eating them all the time wasn’t ideal, right? Kalpas could only grill, and as for Kevin—did anyone really expect him to make delicious food from a bucket of instant noodles every day?

When he dated Mei, he didn’t cook much. Most of the time, he ended up eating Mei's "dark" dishes and visiting the hospital.

Moreover, after this meal, their taste buds were nearly spoiled. The food in Shenzhou seemed to possess magic, one that lingered and made everyone crave more.

.............................

"I'm so full! I feel like I won’t need to eat for the next few days."

Lying on the floor, her belly splayed out, Pardo spoke while rubbing her stomach. She didn’t mind the flesh that had accidentally been exposed.

The dishes on the table had been completely consumed, and the plates didn’t need washing. Everything was spotless.

Eden, also a little drunk, was lying on the table. It was unclear if he had fallen asleep or was on the verge of it.

On the other hand, Griseo didn’t dare to eat any more. She had filled her stomach and now sat off to the side, enjoying the candied haws that Bai Mo had made for her.

Bai Mo shook her head helplessly. It was impossible to send them home now. She would have to let Pardo and Eden stay the night. Fortunately, there were enough guest rooms. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be enough space for four people on one bed.

Naturally, Bai Mo had to sternly criticize a certain troublesome woman: Elysia.

She wasn’t honest, even when eating. She insisted on dragging Eden into drinking. Elysia wasn’t good at drinking, but she loved it. Now that she’d gotten herself drunk, she had retreated to the consciousness space to rest. In the end, Bai Mo was the one left feeling uncomfortable.

Shaking her head to dispel the drowsiness creeping in, Bai Mo got up and prepared three cups of honey water. She was intending to sober up herself and the other two first, then shower and head to bed.

As for cleaning up? She’d leave that for tomorrow.

Soon, with Bai Mo’s help, Pardo and Eden finished their honey water. As for taking a bath, they had no strength left. Bai Mo had no choice but to carry them to the bed. After changing their pajamas, she returned to the room with Griseo.

Due to the alcohol, everyone slept soundly, only waking up groggily when the sun was high in the sky the next morning.

Of course, the first thing they did after waking up was to take a bath together. After all, the bathroom was spacious, and it wasn’t an exaggeration to call it a small hot spring.

As for the view, it was something only a few could truly appreciate. When Bai Mo described it, the only words that came to mind were: "Wow."

It was noon when they had another meal made by Bai Mo. Afterward, Eden and Pardo left one after another. Bai Mo, not one to remain idle, immediately went to find Gray Serpent to check on what was happening on Coral Island.

Bai Mo walked along the path on the left side of the meeting hall and finally spotted Gray Serpent, who was busy reviewing data.

Gray Serpent noticed Bai Mo's arrival and immediately acknowledged her.

"Welcome, Miss Aslaug."

Thanks to the Flamechasers, Gray Serpent now had increasing respect for Bai Mo. Seeing her, Gray Serpent immediately put down the things in her hands and bowed.

"It’s fine, just keep doing what you’re doing. I only came to check on Coral Island’s current situation."

As she spoke, Bai Mo walked over to a terminal and skillfully retrieved various data about Coral Island.

Upon seeing this, Gray Serpent tactfully refrained from interrupting her, continuing his own work.

"Three days... seven days... thirteen days... Is the situation on Coral Island really that bad? It’s been less than half a month since the Fifth Eruption!"

The situation was even worse than she expected.

Based on the daily growth of the Honkai energy index on Coral Island, Bai Mo roughly estimated when the Honkai outbreak would occur.

It seemed that this situation was irreversible—even Otto wouldn’t be able to stop it.

As the Honkai energy increased, all creatures on Coral Island would soon be affected, leading to smaller-scale Honkai Outbreaks.

At that point, Otto would definitely seal off Coral Island and restrict the Valkyries' travel.

This would make it difficult for Bai Mo to take Ana away at that time. After thinking it through, Bai Mo decided to move up the timeline so she could take Ana without attracting attention.

Of course, this still needed to be discussed with Ana. After all, this was a major matter. If it wasn’t handled carefully, Schicksal could discover it, leading to conflicts.

Although they weren’t afraid of that, they didn’t want the trouble.

After obtaining the necessary information, Bai Mo didn’t linger. She immediately returned home to inform Ana of her decision. But first, she shared her thoughts with Kevin.

Kevin agreed after hearing about it, though he didn’t express a strong willingness to be involved. Bai Mo didn’t mind—such a small matter didn’t require the Flamechasers to intervene after all. It would be much easier if she handled it alone.

She could just have Ana submit a commission, and she could go there without needing to teleport.

Bai Mo entered the chat group and found Ana. She eagerly clicked on the private chat.

[Aslaug]: "Is Ana there? I have something important to discuss. Please reply when you get this!"

Chapter 240: Snow Lotus Team

...30 minutes ago.

Coral Island

On average, a small Honkai occurs every two to three days on the island, and today is no exception. After the Honkai broke out, the Snow Lotus Team, led by Ana, immediately rushed to the scene and wiped out the newly born Honkai beasts.

Then, the scientific research team led by Rita conducted an investigation, and these procedures consumed most of the day.

Now, the situation on Coral Island is becoming more and more serious, with the frequency of Honkais accelerating. Ana clearly knows that there isn't much time left for her and her team.

After days of investigation, the scientific research teams have also concluded that the Fifth Eruption is imminent on Coral Island, and this news was reported to the headquarters by Rita today.

According to the information Ana received from Rita, the Eruption is probably only half a month away, and the headquarters has also issued an order to completely block Coral Island within a week.

As for the evacuation of personnel, Rita didn't provide a specific time, but Ana didn’t care. After all, she never placed her hope on the headquarters.

After the mission, on the way back to their residence, Ana and the members of the Snow Lotus Team chatted with each other. It was clear that there were no smiles on their faces; they looked drained.

After all, it would be strange if they could feel happy after dealing with the Honkai every other day.

Being transferred to Coral Island had once felt like a new chapter in their lives, but now, with such an incident, it was worse than taking their lives.

According to reliable sources, many Valkyries have already died on the island, and everyone is in a state of panic.

"Remember to treat your wounds when you get back, and get some rest. Sleep as much as you can."

Ana said this with a sense of helplessness, as she didn't know when the next Honkai would break out.

In short, their team had to be on call 24 hours a day.

"It's fine, Captain. It’s just a minor skin injury. Nothing serious."

At this moment, a girl with long, fiery red hair beside Ana raised her arm and said nonchalantly.

Her name is Amy. She is a lively girl who gets along well with everyone in the team.

Although she has a carefree personality, she’s very different from Ana, who tends to be more serious.

"Skin injuries are no joke! Amy, go find a doctor to treat it. You know the concentration of Honkai energy here. What if something unexpected happens?"

Ana was upset when she heard this. She grabbed Amy’s arm and spoke seriously, not giving her a chance to argue.

"That's right, Amy. Can you be more responsible for yourself? If you end up as a dead soldier, the captain will be terrified. You know little Ana is most afraid of zombies."

"Isn't it true? Don’t make us wake up in the middle of the night just to go to the bathroom together."

"Or maybe we should take some time to watch some horror movies, hahahaha."

At this point, the other three team members joked, lifting the atmosphere a bit.

After all, they were best friends, and there was no pressure when it came to teasing each other.

"Okay, you three, are you brave enough to curse me like this?! I'll take care of you tonight!"

Pulling her arm away from Ana, Amy pounced on the three like an angry cat.

Seeing this, the three hurriedly dodged but couldn't escape the disaster, finally surrendering to the "devil."

"No, no, no, Amy, I was wrong. This is all Jones's fault. It has nothing to do with me!"

"You bad woman, you turned on me at the last minute!"

"Forget it, just beat her up!"

...

The group was laughing and fighting, letting out all the pent-up frustrations from the past few days.

Ana just watched quietly from the side, not getting angry at their teasing. On the contrary, she liked this atmosphere.

"It would be nice if it could be like this every day. It really makes me look forward to the future."

She looked up at the sky, smiling as the sun shone down on her, the breeze brushing against her face.

"Hmm? Little Ana, what did you say?"

Looking at Ana, who had suddenly stopped and was staring blankly, Jones asked in confusion.

"It’s nothing. I just suddenly remembered something happy."

Ana smiled and quickly caught up, walking alongside the others.

"What’s this happy thing? You’ve got to share it with us."

"Leniency for confession, severity for resistance! By the way, little Ana, you don’t have a boyfriend, right? Or maybe an online relationship? I’m telling you, don’t get fooled by others!"

Pete pulled Ana over with a smirk, his expression full of mischief.

"No way, little Ana... um... um!"

Amy, noticing an opportunity, joined in and fanned the flames. But before she could finish her sentence, Ana reached out and covered her mouth.

"What are you thinking? Boyfriend, online love—let’s just forget it. You’ll know the good news in a few days."

Ana’s little face flushed red, and she pouted in dissatisfaction.

The three of them didn’t stop and continued to tease her.

After all, Ana would often chat in the group when she had nothing to do. To the outside world, she appeared like she was just spacing out, laughing at the group members’ silly antics.

Naturally, they misunderstood her behavior.

"Hmph, I won’t talk to you anymore."

Feeling a little embarrassed, Ana didn’t want to explain further.

"Oh, don’t be mad. We won’t talk about it anymore."

"Come on, I’ve still got some candy. Little Ana, you can have some."

...

After a while, Ana and the others arrived at the infirmary, intending to get a doctor to treat Amy’s arm and check on the other two.

At the same time, a notification flashed in Ana’s mind. Already used to it, she quickly realized that someone had tagged her in the group.

Curious, while the others were being examined, Ana relaxed and entered the chat group.

The messages were still coming in, and upon seeing that it was Bai Mo’s message, Ana clicked in without hesitation.

Chapter 241: Seven Thunders of Purification

.....................................

[Aslaug]: "Ding ding ding? Saving the world is not easy. V me 50 and I'll help you crush Honkai!"

[Aslaug]: "PDD red envelope has arrived!" [Aslaug]: "Moses Moses, can you hear me~" [Aslaug]: "Heavenly King Covering Earth Tiger!"

As soon as Ana entered the chat interface, she was bombarded with Bai Mo’s messages.

Judging by the tone, though… was she anxious? Or impatient?

But she didn't care too much. She quickly skimmed through the chat history and replied.

[Ana. Schariac] "Chicken stewed with mushrooms!"

[Ana. Schariac] "I'm really sorry, Senior. A small Eruption just happened on Coral Island, so I was too busy to check the news."

Ana. Schariac: "Senior, are you looking for me regarding Coral Island?"

With doubts in her mind, Ana edited the message and sent it. After all, with the Senior’s capabilities, it would be easy for her to know the inside story of Coral Island.

Soon, Bai Mo, who had been watching the chat interface, responded immediately.

[Aslaug]: "Yes, I also investigated the recent situation on Coral Island when I came back from The Deep."

[Aslaug]: "According to the World Serpent, the Fifth Eruption will break out in less than half a month, so I plan to pick you and your team up a few days in advance."

[Aslaug]: "After all, with Otto, it will be quite troublesome if it drags on. So, Ana, what do you think of my proposal?"

Without any extra words, Bai Mo directly shared her findings and ideas.

Ana. Schariac: "This is the news I got from Miss Rita, and the headquarters is blocking Coral Island recently, so I completely agree with your proposal! Please, Senior!"

[Aslaug]: "No problem. Since you agree, Ana, leave this matter to me!"

[Aslaug]: "Just continue as usual these two days. I’ll pick you up in about five days. Don’t forget the commission you gave me."

Why pick Ana up in five days, though? Bai Mo had thought about it carefully.

After all, Ana had just mentioned that Otto planned to blockade Coral Island in the next few days. The martial force on the island would be the strongest then, and even the smallest movement could attract attention.

Not to mention herself as a Herrscher—especially after the last confrontation with Schicksal—Otto, with his cunning mindset, would certainly be on guard.

If Bai Mo opened the Imaginary Portal and emitted the vibration of the Herrscher of the Void, it would practically invite others to catch her.

Therefore, Bai Mo planned to wait until Otto sent someone from the headquarters and then take action while they were handing over their duties. Even if Shamash reacted at that moment, Bai Mo would have already escaped.

If she was correct, Otto would likely send the entire Immortal Blade team to block Coral Island this time.

But it didn’t matter; she wasn’t afraid.

[Ana. Schariac] "Don’t worry, Senior. I will definitely not let you down!"

[Aslaug]: "Why are you being polite? Anyway, we’ll be family soon~"

After that, the two didn't continue chatting. After all, there was still plenty of time ahead, so it wasn’t urgent.

Coming back to her senses, the three members of the Snow Lotus team had just finished their inspection, so Ana followed them back to the dormitory.

.....................................

Meanwhile, Bai Mo who had just exited the chat group and was about to grab some snacks, heard a familiar voice, one she hadn’t heard in a while.

This was also a surprise. If she counted the time, Bai Mo realized she hadn’t seen her system in a long time.

And it made her angry. Other people’s traverser systems were so annoying, always embedded in their hosts and sending tasks every day, but her system? It had been MIA for ages.

[Ding!]

[It is detected that the host has currently recovered five kinds of Herrscher powers, and the Destruction Key Shamash Judgment has been acquired. The conditions for Six Plus One have been activated, and a Divine Key can be randomly drawn.]

[Do you choose to draw? Yes/No.]

Huh? You’re not giving Herrscher power this time? You’re giving a Divine Key instead? What a waste. And it’s Six Plus One—give it back!

I haven’t seen you in forever, and this is the reward you give me, Brother?

Looking at the system, which had just returned like it was coming home, Bai Mo sneered at the reward. She even felt like throwing a tantrum.

But, since it was free, Bai Mo reluctantly accepted it.

"Ugh, they’re all other people’s children."

Lying on the bed and sighing deeply, Bai Mo clicked "Yes" with great disdain.

[The host has been confirmed to be in the extraction state. The extraction of the Divine Key will now begin…]

The system's prompt sounded again, and Bai Mo curiously watched the interface. Gacha pull ? This should be interesting.

[Extraction successful. The host has activated the following Divine Keys: Domination Key, Destruction Key, Corruption Key, and Judgment Key.]

Once the extraction was completed, the system’s voice disappeared, as if it had never been there. Bai Mo wasn’t surprised.

However, the items drawn this time really piqued her interest.

As expected, this person couldn’t escape the Herrscher of True Fragrance.

The Key of Judgment. Seven Thunders of Retribution. It has seven forms and is a self-aware, “weird-tempered lady.”

There is only one in the world, and it’s currently in Raven's hands. Bai Mo hadn’t expected to draw another one.

True enough. The Herrscher of Thunder. Split!

With a thought, a sleek sword appeared in Bai Mo’s hand. The blade of the Seven Thunders of Retribution was purple, with the hilt and blade decorated in red and black, making it look extremely domineering.

She swung it a few times in the air. Its weight was just right for Bai Mo—very comfortable.

After all, a real man must play with swords!

Now, in addition to the Judgment of Shamash, Bai Mo had another weapon that satisfied her.

Chapter 242: Seven Thunders of Retributions! Danger!

"Seven Thunders of Retributions? Lau, how come this child is in your hands? Did Natasha give it to you?"

Feeling an abnormal fluctuation, Elysia also ran out of the consciousness space. Looking at the sword in Bai Mo's hand, she asked curiously.

"I've heard that the Seven Thunders of Retributions can change its form according to the habits of the user. Now that I see it, it is really convenient."

"This... It's a little troublesome to explain. Ellie, just think of it as the second Seven Thunders of Retributions in this world. If not, you can also understand it as something I brought out from other Bubble Worlds."

Bai Mo habitually used her index finger to circle the ends of her hair and then laughed.

Although she didn't mean to hide it from Elysia, she couldn't say that it was a gift from the system; that would be pure nonsense.

"Okay."

Elysia responded softly and didn't continue to ask. After all, Bai Mo had many secrets, and she knew this.

"How is it? Isn't it very cool!" Seeing this, Bai Mo raised the Seven Thunders of Retribution in his hand and said happily.

She looked like a child showing off her favorite toy in front of her parents.

"Well... it's very handsome, but it's a pity that this child is not pink," Elysia pouted and said with regret. After all, girls must like cute things more. (Miss Seven Thunders of Retribution: 6)

"Or... Ellie, you try it, maybe it will turn into a longbow, but it's probably impossible to change the color." Ignoring the trembling of the blade, Bai Moturned into a devil at this moment, whispering in the ear of Seven Thunders of Purification.

(Miss Seven Thunders of Retribution: You devil! Don't come over here!!!)

"Okay! To be honest, I wanted to try it a long time ago, but I didn't have time to find Vill-V at that time."

Elysia appears to have been waiting for Bai Mo to say this. After hearing it, she immediately occupied Bai Mo's body with her consciousness.

Bai Mo didn't want to say anything at this point. You're still looking for Vill-V. You'll be thankful if you don't get kicked out.

While silently complaining, Bai Mo thought to have seen the Seven Thunders of Retribution in the form of a pink magic wand in her mind.

(Elysia: My good Vill-V, just change it for me~)

(Vill-V: Hurry up, turn left when you go out!)

At this time, Elysia's claws had already reached out to the Seven Thunders of Retribution, and then she held the hilt tightly in her hand.

"Seven Thunders of Retribution! Super Transformation!"

(Elysia: (˵ (^▽^) ))

The next second, the Seven Thunders of Purification sensed Elysia's intentions, and the blade was gradually wrapped by a ball of purple energy, then it kept changing its shape.

Finally, the purple energy dissipated, and the original sword had long disappeared. What was now in Elysia's hand had become a purple longbow.

Its shape was gorgeous, like a work of art—flashy and without any lethality—and this bow had no so-called bowstring.

But this was only judged from the appearance, because when Elysia raised the longbow, a bowstring made of lightning immediately appeared at the connection between the two points of the bow.

After putting her fingers on it, a lightning arrow appeared, and the lightning contained in it had the same power as the Seven Thunders of Purification in sniper rifle form, which could easily destroy the hit object into molecules.

Just don't know if its side effects are the same: it can only shoot one shot, then enter the sage time.

After all, after firing a bullet in the sniper rifle form, Miss Seven Thunders of Purification will enter a short paralysis, commonly known as CD.

Of course, Bai Mo could only verify this problem later.

"It's a pity, it would be better if the color could be changed."

She still had some obsession with the color.

Although the Seven Thunders of Purification in the longbow form is very handsome, Elysia said that she still likes her own little flying flower~

Bai Mo was very disdainful of this. As the saying goes, "women's mouths are deceiving!" Everyone knows that your little flying flower is also purple!

Besides, Miss Seven Thunders of Retribution didn't lose her temper and turn into a slingshot this time, which was enough to give face. Bai Mo didn't expect this scumbag to be so picky!

"Lau, do you think we can repaint it with Little  Griseo's paint?!"

Just when Bai Mo was complaining, Elysia suddenly said this.

(Bai Mo: Are you okay???)

(Miss Seven Thunders of Retribution: New skin｢(ﾟﾍﾟ)???)

Sure enough, after hearing this, Seven Thunders of Retribution just gave up and instantly changed from a longbow to a katana.

Since she can't afford to offend her host, can't she just hide from her!

If she continues like this, she will lose her moral integrity.

"Hahaha, Ellie, look how scared it is. Now it's fun, isn't it?"

Seeing this, Bai Mo laughed with some gloating.

But Elysia didn't care too much, after all, she was just joking with those words.

But then Elysia suddenly changed the subject, with a smirk on her face, and said, "It's okay, but since this child won't cooperate, then Lau, can you cooperate with it reluctantly? After all, Lau, you don't want to see me sad."

Elysia used the method of acting like a spoiled child.

Remembering that she also left a little when she bought a pink skirt for Mobius last time, it just so happened that this time she could feast her eyes!

"No!"

Hearing this, Bai Mo refused without thinking.

This abacus was too loud, and it broke her face.

It was so not funny, she didn't want to be a dress-up doll again.

"I am a man with self-respect, okay?!"

Looking back at the past, she felt a chill, and the memory of death began to attack Bai Mo crazily.

"My dear Lau, please agree to it."

"My dear Ellie, please stop playing with me."

The two were evenly matched, and it was hard to tell who was better.

"Just wear one!"

Finally, Elysia was still unwilling to give up, so she had to carefully extend a finger, which was her last concession.

"Even if I, Aslaug, starve to death today and jump off from here, I will never wear your pink dress!"

But Bai Mo at this time was like an airtight wall, blocking all of Elysia's sweet words.

"Really not."

"Don't do this, Ellie."

-----

Chapter 243: Beauty!

"What do you think? I told you this dress would suit you very well, Lau!"

"Yes, yes, yes..."

"Hehe, next one, next one! It would be a waste not to wear all the dresses in the closet!"

"As long as you like it..."

In front of the mirror, Bai Mo was wearing a pink gauze dress, her wrist slightly extended forward, striking a cute pose. The cat ears on her head jingled with bells, and every movement produced a pleasant sound.

Beside the bed, more than twenty sets of dresses were piled into a small mountain, all of them changed by Bai Mo.

Original flavor.

Isn't Elysia good at playing dress-up? Her matching skills were on point.

As a 24k pure gold man, Bai Mo had finally failed to keep her composure and succumbed to Elysia’s temptation.

There was no way around it; the woman promised too much!

She had given too much!

As a result, Bai Mo now wanted to pull Elysia out of her body right away so she could fulfill her promise.

As a modern teenager, who could endure these things? Just listening to them made Bai Mo blush a little.

Lovely Elysian Realm Ruler, truly living up to its reputation!

Ahem, back to the point. After twenty minutes, Bai Mo had tried on all the clothes in the closet. She was so exhausted that she collapsed onto the bed, not wanting to get up no matter what.

At the same time, Elysia used this opportunity to upload the photos she had taken to Eden. After all, good things should be shared with friends.

[Eden]: "Ellie, you’re being naughty again."

[Eden]: "Lau will definitely be angry when she finds out about this."

[Eden]: "But I’ll accept the photos."

Not long after Elysia sent the photos, Eden replied.

From the looks of it, Eden seemed to think Elysia had taken these photos while Bai Mo was away and had occupied her body.

Hiss... The more Bai Mo thought about it, the more something felt off. After all, why would Eden think that?

Or maybe Elysia, this woman, had done this while she was asleep?!

No wonder sometimes she woke up feeling sore all over. Could this be the reason?

Detective Bai Mo was online, and she felt like she had solved the case in an instant!

This woman! She was after his body!

"My dear Elysia, don’t you think you should give me an explanation~?" Bai Mo smiled faintly.

"Huh? Lau, what are you talking about? I don’t understand!"

Hearing this, Elysia pretended to be calm and played dumb. Anyone who didn’t know would think she was truly innocent.

Oh no, dear Eden, how could you let me down like this!

Fortunately, she have the habit of deleting chat history after posting photos, so Lau shouldn’t be able to find out!

Yes, as long as I insist it didn’t happen!

Silently comforting herself, Elysia relaxed a little.

"Really? It seems I’ve wronged you, Ellie."

"So Lau, do you want to compensate me? Just wear one more little skirt!"

Elysia said tentatively.

"Don’t even think about it. It will break if you keep this up."

"Okay."

Anyway, she’d already gotten something out of it, so Elysia didn’t press further.

Hehe, it’s not bad. A little compensation!

Bai Mo didn’t believe her lies. Even if there was no evidence, just wait. Once that bad woman left her body, she’d get her revenge!

After a small episode, the two continued chatting with Eden.

[Elysia]: "No, Lau wore these voluntarily. I was just playing a supporting role!"

[Elysia]: "No, sister Eden, don’t listen to Ellie’s nonsense. I was forced by her."

After sending this message, Bai Mo lightly pinched her face, trying to signal Elysia not to talk nonsense.

In response, Elysia just stuck out her tongue playfully, and it was unclear whether she heard him.

[Eden]: "You two..."

In the residence next door to Bai Mo’s, Eden looked at the messages from the two on the screen and couldn’t help but shake her head and smile.

[Eden]: "But Lau, you look good in these. I’ll make one for you by hand someday."

[Elysia]: "Is it a combat uniform? Then please make it even cooler for me, sister Eden!!"

She didn’t ask for much, just that it should be cooler than Kevin’s.

At least it shouldn’t be like Elysia’s and Aponia’s uniforms. She could barely handle that size, and it kept falling off…

She was so embarrassed!

[Elysia]: "No, no, girls must be cute."

[Elysia]: "I have the final say on my combat uniform, and sister Eden is the best!"

...

The two of them bantered back and forth, like a double act, choosing between cute and handsome.

But despite their quarrel, in the end, Elysia and Eden chose to listen to Bai Mo’s opinion.

After all, they had known each other for so long, and they knew that Bai Mo was a bit of a tomboy.

She liked everything boys liked but had no interest in what girls wanted—unless it was something she really liked.

So Elysia was quite troubled by this. Why was training so hard to change?

[Elysia]: "By the way, sister Eden, do you need me to send you my measurements?"

[Eden]: "No, I can tell from the photos."

[Elysia]: "As expected of sister Eden! Once you’re done, I’ll have a gift for you!"

Bai Mo planned to get some free gifts from her friends in the group.

After all, Eden had everything in this world, so if the gift came from another world, it would surely be creative!

Well! It’s decided! I’ll get a few Siren records from Exusai and buy a piano from Terra!

As for money, a few tons of gold should be enough to exchange for some Lungmen coins.

[Eden]: "Really? I’m really looking forward to it."

[Elysia]: "Don’t worry, this gift will definitely satisfy you, Eden."

"Don’t worry, there will be a gift for you, Ellie!"

After sending the message, Bai Mo didn’t forget to add one more sentence.

----

Chapter 245: Everything is Jade-like, Only...

The next morning.

After waking up, Bai Mo stood by the bed, looking at Griseo, who was still sleeping soundly, and the corners of her mouth couldn’t help but curl up slightly.

There were scattered clothes all around the bed, white and blue—overall, a scene that excited anyone who saw it.

Of course, this doesn’t mean that the two of them must have done something last night.

It was just a simple sleep, and clothes and other things were merely restraints! The body must be liberated to sleep well!

Bending down to pick up her clothes, Bai Mo slowly put them on.

I don’t know if it’s because of contact with Griseo for so long, but her clothes exuded a faint milky fragrance.

If that’s the case, then Griseo’s clothes are not...

Well! As a serious person, I definitely just wanted to check whether there was jasmine scent on Griseo’s clothes, and it was definitely not some kind of perverted behavior!

Yes! I just wanted to verify it.

After convincing herself, Bai Mo picked up a pair of light blue harem pants and sniffed them.

As expected, there was a hint of jasmine in them.

After all, when they slept, they were each other’s pillows, so it was understandable that their scents mixed.

Slightly raising the temperature of the air conditioner, Bai Mo thoughtfully pulled up the blanket that Griseo was covering herself with.

Although she didn’t know if the MANTIS’s body could catch a cold, it was always uncomfortable to be sick.

After putting on her clothes and placing all the scattered clothes on the ground into the bathroom, Bai Mo planned to make two breakfasts and have a simple meal.

Besides, the wardrobe was next to the bed. Griseo would surely find new clothes after waking up, so she didn’t need to worry about that.

"Humhumhum."

With a flick of the spatula, two soft-boiled eggs shaped like hearts flew out and landed steadily on the plate. Sprinkling some sesame seeds, the aroma instantly filled the whole kitchen.

The sandwich was already hot, just waiting to be taken out of the microwave.

In addition, Bai Mo had also prepared two cups of milk and a papaya. After all, Griseo was still young, and she needed to eat more to grow well.

As for himself... if some parts grew larger, it would only affect normal life. Bai Mo was very satisfied with his current appearance.

How can we pacify the world without inequality?

Of course, when it comes to pacifying the world, we still have to respect our predecessors! Immortal Jingwei!

Walking out of the kitchen and putting the prepared breakfast on the table, Bai Mo turned around and walked back into the bedroom. She was ready to wake up the lazy Griseo.

"Griseo, wake up. If you don’t get up, the sun will burn your butt."

Sitting on the edge of the bed, Bai Mo gently shook Griseo’s body with her hand.

But to her surprise, when Bai Mo shook her, the blanket that was covering Griseo loosened instantly and fell to the side, revealing a large expanse of scenery.

Don’t look at anything indecent, don’t look at anything indecent!

Bullshit, she didn’t know how many times she’d seen this kind of scene, and she wouldn’t be shy!

The sunlight outside the window poured in and scattered over her body, her long light blue hair draped over her shoulders and falling to her waist.

Feeling the coldness of her body, Griseo woke up groggily.

Rubbing her hazy eyes, she slowly sat up straight.

"Well... Good morning, Sister Aslaug."

After saying that, Griseo opened her arms and hugged Bai Mo’s body.

"Morning, little Griseo."

Quickly draping the blanket over Griseo, Bai Mo casually constructed a comb and began to tidy up her frizzy hair.

"Well..."

A tingling sensation spread from her scalp to her whole body, and as Bai Mo’s movements became larger, Griseo couldn’t help but hum softly.

Of course, to prevent little Griseo from falling asleep again, Bai Mo didn’t forget to go to the bathroom, get a basin of cold water, and wipe her face.

Refreshing!

Sometimes, washing your face with cold water is better than with warm water.

After washing and dressing, the two finally sat at the dining table.

At this time, Elysia also woke up and insisted on feeding Griseo.

There was no way around it, so Bai Mo had to go along with it.

So, the scene played out like this for a while...

Elysia leaned on the innermost part of the chair and let little Griseo sit on her lap.

It was supposed to be feeding, but it was actually an excuse for the girl to stick to her.

Crazy groping!

Bai Mo saw through it but didn’t say anything. After all, she was the one making the profit from this arrangement!

Hehehe, Griseo, fragrant and soft!

A pair of white little feet swung in the air, making people want to bite them.

Is it ice cream? Yes! Are they jade feet? Yes!

But! Please don’t do it in this barber shop.

Crazy warden, the jailer (jade feet) will only hurt you!

"What plans does little Griseo have today? Do you want Sister Elysia to take you out to play?"

The two finished their breakfast quickly, and a new day began. Elysia asked curiously.

"Well... I'll find Rin to play with."

After a long time, Griseo said after thinking for a while.

Good one, Bai Mo thought Griseo would suggest going to see Kosma, since the two hadn’t seen each other for a while.

Poor empty-nest old man Kosma.

There’s a saying, go home often, don’t let waiting become a regret.

Of course, this is just a complaint. When Griseo wants to go, she'll take her there.

For now, just have fun. "Okay, let’s go find Ling to play! Let’s go!"

"Let’s go."

Griseo raised her right hand and shouted happily while being held by Elysia’s hand.

After turning the handle and opening the door, the two walked out.

Sakura and Rin’s residence was not far from here, and it would only take ten minutes to walk there.

Along the way, Elysia and Griseo were talking and laughing, while Bai Mo was observing them in the consciousness space.

It’s not that she didn’t want to talk, but she kept wondering if she should ask Sakura to teach her some sword skills after they met later.

After all, it’s better to have more skills. Without good sword skills, how can you wield a good sword?

Thinking of this, Bai Mo’s resolve became stronger!

Soon, the three of them arrived at Sakura and Rin’s residence.

The door wasn’t locked. After all, only a few of them lived in the community, so it wasn’t necessary.

Entering the courtyard, the surroundings were still quiet.

Seeing this, Elysia made a shushing gesture, signaling Griseo to follow.

Seeing this, Bai Mo knew Elysia was going to cause some trouble.

-----

Chapter 246 The Teaching of Sakura

.................. Two sneaky figures walked in the courtyard with sneaky figures.

In order not to make a sound, Elixiya also deliberately ordered Griseo to slow down.

All of this is because Elysia wants to tease Sakura and Ling.

When she came to the window, the two squatted down, and Elysia looked at it quietly and observed it, and found that the cherry in the room was combing hair for the bell.

Its picture is very loving. Although she doesn't want to disturb this scene, it is not Bai Mo herself who controls the body at this time.

Sorry! All of this crime is borne by Elysia! I am innocent!

Speaking in her heart, Bai Mo saw that Elysia was going to do the next step.

In the room, the two of them were still talking at this time, and she doesn't know what was about to happen next.

....................

"Sakura-chan! Shiny!"

She saw that when Sakura just finished setting up her ponytail and immediately got up, Elysia yelled directly, and the whole person pushed the window and jumped in.

Bang ...

Without the slightest accident, Elysia poured the cherry blossom.

But because it was on the bed, the two were not injured.

The small face was buried in a very soft place, Bai Mo subconsciously breathed, and then brought the control of the body back.

After all, the bad woman of Elysia is really playing.

Why do you call my name!

This bad woman! You actually want her to carry the pot!

After Elysia's operation, Bai Mo gritted straight.

At the same time, Sakura who was fluttered also reacted. Among them, Rin wanted to pull forward and pull the two up, but Sakura shook her head and said that it was okay.

"Hmm .... Let me guess, it should be Elysia just now, right?"

Two hands held up Bai Mo's face, and Sakura said with a smile, and there was no blame in her tone.

After all, a joke between friends, she is not so dull.

As for why she can guess that it was Elysia, it was because in the eyes of Sakura, Bai Mo would never do such bold behavior.

"Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhin

Elysia nodded crazy.

(Bai Mo: Then Sakura, you still have overestimated me!)

"Sister Elysia."

At this time, Griseo also went down from the window and dismantled the platform directly.

"Griseo! Why are you here!"

As soon as she saw her little friend came to be a guest, Rin was immediately regardless of her sister's side, and she directly talked to Griseo in the past.

The two little girls were very happy, hey.

"There are rice balls in the living room. You can go to the kitchen if you are not enough."

"Good sister!"

After the two left, there were only Sakura and Bai Mo in the room staring at each other. After a long time, they got up from the bed.

Well!

Obviously not to lie!

Don’t be too cool. The only disadvantage is that it may be difficult to breathe, but this is not a matter.

If she will come again, Bai Mo will definitely not stop Elysia.

"Bad Ellie, thinking about pitting me into trouble!"

"Hey!"

Elysia vomited her tongue and tapped her head gently with her hands, which was very cute.

"Don't trouble me!"

Seeing that Bai Mo rolled her eyes angrily.

Obviously Ellie was still very obedient before, but what happened to this recently...

It doesn't work like this, it is impossible to distinguish who is the king!

She must re-cast her glory!

"I just missed Sakura too much, I couldn't help it for a while."

"Sakura you will never blame me, right!"

Holding Sakura's arm was shaking for a while, and Elysia pretended to be wronged.

"Don't worry, I won't blame you."

In this regard, Sakura also shook her head with a smile.

"By the way, what's the matter with Ellie and Lau?"

Getting up and poured a cup of tea for Bai Mo, and Sakura slowly spoke.

"Thank you Sister Sakura."

"Actually today, Griseo said that she wanted find Rin to play with, and then we came together. In addition, I have another thing to ask Sister Sakura."

The tip of the tongue was lit, and the tea was inhaled, and a fragrance echoed in her mouth, and Bai Mo squinted like it.

However, in fact, she does not know about tea, but she can learn.

"What? If I can help, I will not push you off."

Sakura is also very happy about Bai Mo who can come to her for help.

"There is no big deal, just want Sister Sakura, you teach me a few moves, that is, in terms of sword skills, I want to learn 100 million points."

Bai Mo stretched out her hand and compared to a C word.

Good guy directly fingertips the universe.

"Are you sword skills ... Of course, there is no problem, but my teachings will be very hard, and my way is not necessarily suitable for Lau."

When Sakura heard it, she was hesitant. In fact, this was not that she didn't want to teach Bai Mo, but that her sword technique was tailored from beginning to end to kill people, and she couldn't put that on the table.

Of course, this is just that she thinks so, Bai Mo will not pay attention to so many things.

After all, Kendo, in the end, still reaches towards killing. After all, who's sword is not stained with some blood. The so-called "For Protection" is just a grand excuse.

Of course, she doesn't want to say it in the Modern age.

"I don't care, I will learn Sister Sakura's sword skills!" Bai Mo's decision shook her head.

"Then I accept....."

"..."

"Okay ... come with me."

Seeing that Bai Mo was trying to say something but couldn't, Sakura also had to shake her head and stop, and got up and pulled Bai Mo to the back of the courtyard.

Here is a dojo where Sakura specifically uses for meditation.

Pushing open the wooden door, the interior of the dojo is very empty, some are several wooden swords, and even the so-called armor.

It is understandable that after all, cherry blossoms are not used.

"Sister Sakura, when can we start!"

Picking up a wooden sword from the ground, Bai Mo couldn't wait.

"Don't worry, wait for Lau, we can start after you are ready."

"In addition, on the way of practicing sword skills, remember not to substitute into the Edge of Taixuan sword techniques, this is a taboo."

"I understand and I understand. You want me to forget all other skills for the time being, right? It's like those written in the novels!" Bai Mo did a thumbs up, and then she motioned for a while after preparing..

Seeing this, Sakura walked slowly to Bai Mo, her expression was serious, and she looked like a teacher.

"Today is the first day, then we will learn some foundation first, first of all ..."

----

Chapter 247: The So-Called [Setsuna]

It was noon, and the training had lasted for nearly five hours. Bai Mo had completed more than 10,000 simple sword swings.

If it weren’t for the power of creation relieving the soreness in her muscles, she would have been unable to lift the sword.

"I will show you the technique for breaking any difficult situation. But the real sharp blade will always exist in your heart," Sakura spoke.

In addition to the sword swings, Sakura also carefully broke down her sword moves and demonstrated them to Bai Mo several times.

With the power of the Herrscher of Sentience, Bai Mo saved all the details in her mind. Whenever she wanted, she could watch them like a movie at any time.

After all, Bai Mo’s foundation was still very solid, and she could barely keep up with Sakura's rhythm. If it had been anyone else, it would have been impossible to keep pace so quickly.

......................

Sweating profusely, mixed with a faint scent of jasmine, Bai Mo lay on the dojo floor, breathing heavily.

Sakura carefully handed her a cup of tea, and Bai Mo swallowed it without even tasting it.

To prevent her vision from being blocked during training, Bai Mo had tied her hair into a neat high ponytail, holding the sword with both hands, looking very heroic.

Her white kendo uniform was soaked with sweat, and her chest rose and fell with her breath, with the faint outline of her figure visible.

But there were no outsiders here, so Bai Mo naturally didn’t mind.

Although the power of creation could repair the muscle damage caused by the training, there was still some consumption of physical and mental strength.

"Regarding your kendo talent, Lau, I can say frankly that you are the most talented person I have seen in all these years."

"Relax, if you're tired, you can take a proper rest. After all, such things are not achieved overnight, and combining work with rest is the best way."

Taking the empty teacup, Sakura refilled it slowly and handed it to Bai Mo.

There was no hiding her admiration for Bai Mo in her words, and Sakura was glad to be able to pass on her skills.

"It’s okay, Sister Ying, I can hold on for a while longer."

The power of creation acted on Bai Mo’s body, and a wave of comfort spread through her. Her sore shoulder was instantly restored.

Almost every hour or so, Bai Mo would repair like this.

And Sakura just watched from the side, occasionally offering a few pointers and sparring with Bai Mo from time to time.

After a short rest, the two began another round of training.

Just like now, both of them held wooden swords and moved step by step, carefully watching each other, trying to find each other’s flaws and win with a single strike.

Time passed minute by minute, and the two tested each other, but there was no real attack.

This was undoubtedly the most difficult part for Bai Mo.

After all, in terms of skill and experience, Sakura was far superior. Soon, Sakura was the first to spot Bai Mo's flaw, and the long sword in her hand was unsheathed!

"All things are in darkness!"

Swish!

A flash of cold light came, and the long sword in Bai Mo’s hand was instantly knocked away. The speed was so fast that there was even an afterimage. Bai Mo only saw Sakura’s fingers move slightly, and she couldn’t catch all the movements.

The so-called [Setsuna] is a miracle that can only be revealed in the moment of life and death.

But for Sakura, she had long since learned to control it freely.

Clang...

The long sword fell to the ground. When Bai Mo looked at it again, the blade was already full of cracks, showing how swift the previous blow had been.

Bai Mo didn’t care about that because she was still replaying Sakura’s movements in her mind. She kept going over the way Sakura had swung her sword, trying to catch something.

After a while, Sakura nodded with satisfaction, not intending to disturb her.

Finally, after a long time, Bai Mo made a move.

"Thank you, Sister Sakura!"

Bai Mo looked up, clearly happy. She had caught something from her meditation.

If she were asked to imitate Sakura's sword-drawing action just now, she was confident she could almost perfectly replicate it.

Maybe it was just talent, but Bai Mo didn’t think it was that difficult.

Since she was holding a sword at such a young age...

"Not bad for a speed of comprehension."

"But Lau, you must always remember to see the enemy's flaws clearly during battle, and don’t slack off. Opportunities are fleeting."

"Discard all distractions, and let your heart merge with the sharp blade in your hand. All you need to do is cut through."

Sakura walked up to Bai Mo, patted her shoulder, and then said earnestly.

"Don’t worry, Sister Sakura, I’ll never be distracted during battle."

"Good, then keep going. Even if you reach the state of [Setsuna], it’s still difficult to cut through the confusion in your heart. I hope that, in this regard, Lau, you will do better than I did."

Bai Mo nodded but didn’t say anything. After all, some things just needed to be firmly remembered in her heart.

In the following time, Bai Mo continued to train, seizing the opportunity to consolidate the skills she had just learned.

"I’ll go prepare some food and see what the two little ones are doing now."

Seeing that Bai Mo had resumed training, Sakura didn’t stay any longer and turned to leave.

Bai Mo nodded in acknowledgment and said nothing further.

.................................

Half an hour later, Bai Mo raised her training to a more spiritual level.

After all, the Power of Sentience is not an inconvenient thing! She directly created an imaginary enemy to fight against, and the progress was rapid.

This is the so-called multitasking.

During this process, Bai Mo stopped using the wooden sword and instead chose the Seven Thunders of Retribution.

She treated it as a prelude.

"Rain of Lights!"

......

"Moonlight Wine!"

......

Lightning crackled and exploded in the air, the sounds echoing in the dojo for a long time.

The training dummy was split in half by a single strike, the cut smooth and clean.

The scattered lightning carried overwhelming power, knocking away all the remaining dummies and leaving burnt marks on their bodies.

That strike was no mere feat!

After such a long period of training, Bai Mo had successfully absorbed the technique and made it part of her own strength.

As for the remaining sword skills, Sakura had not yet taught them...

----

Chapter 248: The Heart of the Sword is Clear

Huh...

After making a sword flower in a handsome way, Bai Mo sheathed her sword... Ahem, well, Miss Seven Thunders of Retribution doesn't appeae to have a so-called scabbard.

But this doesn't affect her coolness.

She took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat off her face, then ran to the basin next to her to wash her face.

It was cool and refreshing.

"If this were still in paradise, I guess Sister Sakura would give me a [Setsuna] Signet."

Bai Mo muttered, and the smile on his face never disappeared.

After all, this [Setsuna] sword skill, whether in terms of strength or coolness, is unique.

Now, when she sees Mei next time, she can also learn sword skills from her!

The duel between [Hokushin Ittō-ryū] and [Setsuna] is a bit exciting just to think about.

Thinking like this, Bai Mo also began to look forward to the arrival of that day.

Besides, whether it is Edge of Taixuan, [Setsuna], or some things Kevin is about to teach him, he has more and more things to show off.

Times are different now. People will always grow up slowly.

But strong power often means more responsibility, and also means a huge price, which Bai Mo is also very clear about.

So although Bai Mo is confused about the path she has chosen, as Sakura just said, she knows that she only needs to protect the people and things she values most.

A quote from Kevin is: "You have chosen your own path, so you must go to the end of this path, no matter what the price."

Of course, of course, she will never get stuck in a dead end. She should be flexible when she should be flexible. This is normal.

Thinking of this, Bai Mo realized something in her heart.

Clear Blade Mantra?

Anyway, Bai Mo feels that her Taixu Sword Technique have reached a higher level.

What is this? Double happiness!

She didn't expect that she get such a surprise when she came to Sakura to learn the sword skills of [Setsuna]. She was grinning from ear to ear for a while.

At this moment, Sakura also pushed open the door of the dojo and walked towards Bai Mo.

She was holding a tray in her hand, on which were three rice balls of different flavors and miso soup.

Seeing this, Bai Mo hurriedly took out two cushions from the side and motioned for Sakura to sit on them.

"It seems that you have made a great achievement again, Lau."

After sitting down, Sakura commented as she looked at Bai Mo, whose momentum had obviously changed.

"Hehe, it turns out I can't escape Sister Sakura's eyes. That's right, I can now be considered to have a clear sword heart!"

Taixuan Ki, heart, form, intention, soul, spirit, five elements—Bai Mo has also entered the realm of intention, and has reached Clear Mirror in the inner lake of consciousness.

Although she is still a long way from being able to release the Eminence, at least she has made progress~

And for the [Setsuna] sword skills she has learned, she has already mastered them thoroughly.

It's only been less than a day, and this learning speed is terrifying.

"The Clear Blade Mantra... Hua would be very happy if she knew. After all, this is her inheritance."

"Okay, after training for so long, you should eat something, Lau."

After coming back to her senses, Sakura picked up a rice ball and handed it over.

Bai Mo took it and took a bite. A fragrance spread, and its soft and glutinous taste was really delicious.

"By the way, what are Griseo and Rin doing?"

"They are two little guys playing a jigsaw puzzle under the cherry tree. What's going on? Lau, are you interested too?"

"Playing a jigsaw puzzle? Forget it, this thing is too brain-consuming and not suitable for me." Bai Mo shook her head and refused.

After all, even if the serial number is written on the back of each small piece, she would have to play for a long time.

"Really? Anyway, the two little guys are very interested in this."

"After all, they are children, and I feel that little Griseo's sister should be interested in this too."

"Sister?"

Ying looked at Bai Mo with doubts. It has been more than 50,000 years, and Griseo still has a sister??? How could she not know anything about it?

"It's Ellie. After all, Ellie always tricked Griseo into calling her Ellie's sister. And Sister Sakura, don't you think that with Ellie's personality, she would not be interested in this kind of thing?"

Bai Mo saw the strangeness in Sakura and explained immediately.

"........"

Hearing this, Sakura didn't know what to say for a while, but it was true that if it was Ellie, she would indeed play with the two little guys.

Although Sakura didn't speak, the smile that inadvertently appeared at the corner of her mouth had already exposed her thoughts at that moment.

Bai Mo took advantage of the opportunity and said immediately: "Look, Sister Sakura, you really think so too, don't you? It's okay, just say it boldly. Anyway, Ellie just went to rest and won't be back for a while."

She had a smirk on her face, but the next second, a familiar voice sounded, and the smile on Bai Mo's face immediately froze.

It was very fast—the speed of changing her face.

"Hmm? My good Lau, what were you talking about just now? Can you let me hear it again?"

Elysia who had woken up, stretched out her hand to poke "her" face and said in a very playful tone.

"......."

Bai Mo smiled awkwardly and didn't know how to answer for a while.

You bad woman, didn't you say you were bored and went to rest!!!

You don't follow the ethics of martial arts, and you actually did a sneak attack!

"Ahem, Ellie, you must have heard it wrong just now. I have been discussing sword skills with Sister Sakura all the time!"

"Right, Sister Sakura!"

After finally finding an excuse, Bai Mo subconsciously blinked, as if trying to bribe Sakura to cover for her.

But she appears to have forgotten that Elliexia could feel all the little movements she made.

"Lau was indeed discussing sword skills with me just now."

There was nothing she could do, so Sakura had to give Bai Mo a look that said, "I can only help you so far."

And somehow, Sakura actually thought that this scene was very interesting. In the words of Shenzhou, a happy enemy should be like this.

Shaking her head, Ying took a sip of tea with a slight smile on her lips.

"Look, Sister Sakura said so. Ellie, you must have heard it wrong!"

"You know you misunderstood me. I will ignore you next time if you do this again."

With confidence, Bai Mo pretended to be angry and said.

"Okay, okay, I misunderstood. I apologize. Lau, please don't be angry, okay?"

Remembering that she had tricked Bai Mo in the morning, Elysia had no choice but to let her temper run wild.

Bai Mo didn't expect Elysia to be like this. This time, she couldn't get back at her.

----

Chapter 249: Exusai running of with gold

"Then... I'll forgive you."

Bai Mo was a little unsure about Elysia's abnormal behavior, but she still said it weakly.

After all, the path was paved; how could she not follow it?

"In the past half-day, Lau, you’ve made great progress. Did you learn something good from Sakura?"

After all, it was in Bai Mo's consciousness, so Elysia could also feel the changes in the Heart Lake.

"Yes, I did learn a lot from Sister Ying."

"Then, after I recover, I’ll teach Lau too, okay?"

After thinking for a moment, Elysia thought of something fun and immediately prepared to tease Bai Mo.

Huh?

Bai Mo was a little surprised when she heard it but recovered quickly.

After all, what good thoughts could bad Ellie have? She is most familiar with this.

You’re naughty, right? Then let's be naughtier.

"??? Teach me what, Masaka! Are you going to teach me your secrets, Ellie?"

After organizing her words, Bai Mo pretended to be confused and asked back.

"Secrets?"

Sure enough, Elysia was stunned; after all, she didn’t know what secrets she had.

"That's it, On How to Get Along with Girls: One Hundred Ways to Be Close."

Speaking of this, Bai Mo was particularly serious and solemn in both expression and tone.

At this moment, she appeared to be like the most devout believer in the world, holding up this secret book high.

Then she raised her arms and shouted: "Ai Men!"

"......"

Humph! You just know how to tease me. It seems Lau has learned some bad things too.

However, everything has a price to pay, and how should you deal with it next, Lau?

In fact, when Bai Mo mentioned the name of the cheat book, Elysia knew she was playing a trick on her, but she didn’t choose to expose it and continued talking.

"Okay, if you want to learn, Lau, I can teach you step by step!"

As she said this, Elysia put one hand on the other.

The meaning was self-evident.

"I..."

Ah... Why is there something wrong with this plot? Why is she still talking about it?

Is she going to eat me up? What is this, inviting a wolf into the house? Digging a hole for myself? Shooting myself in the foot?

It’s over, it’s over, it’s over.

For a moment, Bai Mo didn’t know what to say and looked at Sakura, who was standing on the side. But Ying didn’t seem to be willing to help at this time, merely shaking her head lightly.

Helpless, Bai Mo had to bite the bullet and agree: "I’ll teach you, who’s afraid of who!"

"Okay, it’s a deal!"

Elysia was happy when she heard it.

After all, isn’t this a bait?

"A gentleman's word is as good as a promise!"

(Bai Mo: A gentleman is a gentleman; what does that have to do with me~~)

...........................

Then the two of them quarreled for a while, and Sakura left on her own, giving them enough space.

This time, Elysia directly released her nature. Her little hands moved restlessly, rubbing her little face and poking her waist.

Almost all the ticklish spots on Bai Mo's body were mastered by Elysia.

Weaknesses exposed!!!

Bai Mo was crying and laughing, almost exhausted, and finally collapsed on the floor, wiping tears from the corners of her eyes.

Defeat in the Dojo.

"I... I’m a little tired. I’m going to take a nap. You can play by yourself, Ellie!"

Finally, she couldn’t stand it anymore and had to make up an excuse to run away.

Finality was beaten by Origin. What a shame. Bai Mo couldn’t afford to lose face.

I was so angry!

When can I stand up?

Forget it. I can just take advantage of this time to get gifts for Sister Eden and Ellie.

Oh, and find a suitable one for Sister Sakura.

Thinking this, Bai Mo entered the chat group and started to fight... No, just a small talk.

Outside, Elysia, who had suddenly taken control of the body, was still depressed.

We agreed to fight for 300 rounds, but you ran away halfway.

"Lau is really something, how can she run away after a little teasing!"

Pouting her little mouth, Elysia complained with some dissatisfaction.

However, this state didn’t last long. After about ten seconds, Elysia was fully revived, stood up, and walked out of the dojo.

After all, Elysia was still a little interested in the puzzle Sakura had mentioned earlier, and it would be nice to play with it during this time.

...........................

In the chat group, Bai Mo planned to find Exusia first and tell her about his plan.

Opening the private chat interface, Bai Mo sent a few messages.

[Aslaug]: "Ding! You have a new Penguin order. Please handle it in time!"

[Aslaug]: "Ding ding ding, Exusai, does Penguin Logistics accept the order? I want to buy something."

Soon, Exusia replied. It must be said that Penguin Logistics was still quite idle.

[ApplePieLover]: "Penguin Logistics, mission accomplished! But how do we do this cross-world business?"

[Aslaug]: "I told you to eat fewer desserts. Look, your brain is stupid."

[Aslaug]: "Just put the package in the mall and use the points as the shipping fee~"

[ApplePieLover]: "Hahaha, I forgot, but what do you want to buy, Mo?"

[Aslaug]: "Siren records and a piano, the best ones! Money is not a problem!"

Money is something that can be easily spent~ Bai Mo is not short of such yellow and white things.

After saying that, Bai Mo uploaded the three tons of gold he had prepared to the mall.

[Aslaug]: "Okay, I’ve transferred the money to the mall. If you think it’s okay, take it. The rest after buying things will be considered a hard work fee~"

[ApplePieLover]: "No problem!"

In fact, if Bai Mo only wanted the Siren record, Exusia could give it to her for free, but as for the piano, she couldn’t help.

After all, wages and other things aren’t they handed over to the LGD as soon as they are paid?

It is everyone’s responsibility to contribute to Lungmen’s cause.

(Refers to compensation for damaging public property and obstructing traffic.)

............Terra, Penguin Logistics staff dormitory.

Arriving at the mall, Exusia looked at the latest package uploaded by Bai Mo and clicked to buy it.

The next second, a gold block as big as two suitcases appeared out of thin air on the floor of the dormitory.

"............"

----

Chapter 250: Texas – The Bank in Lungmen Was Robbed?

Bang!

A loud noise jolted Exusai from her slumber.

Under the sunlight, the entire dormitory shimmered with gold, filling the air with the scent of copper... no, the scent of money.

Capitalists would be crying at the sight of this. Could so much gold really be given away like this?

Thinking back to what Bai Mo had said earlier, "Money is not a problem," Exusai now had only one thought in her mind:

That is...

Rich woman, support me!!!

This is gold!

And judging by its size, it should weigh more than two tons!

If all of this were converted into Lungmen coins, it seems like she wouldn’t have to worry anymore...

Initially, Exusai had thought it was just a small amount of money, so after buying what she needed, she could use the remaining funds to buy a few apple pies. But now, Exusai was too nervous to take it.

With this anxious thought in mind, she logged back into the chat group.

ApplePieLover: "Ah Mo, are you sure you uploaded the right thing? Is all this gold for real?"

ApplePieLover: "Don't make mistakes with money! Listen, there's still time to back out!"

Exusai, ever the careful planner, even took a picture and sent it to Bai Mo.

Puff!

Bai Mo almost choked when she saw these messages.

What is going on here? How did this misunderstanding happen?

Aslaug: "What are you talking about? I made all this myself! I have as much as you want. I was worried I didn’t have enough money, but you gave me some of this!"

ApplePieLover: "Hand-made?! What does that even mean? Is it something that can be done with a little power?"

Aslaug: "Congratulations, you guessed it! But there's no prize for you."

ApplePieLover: "Amo, support me! I’m easy to please. I just need apple pie for three meals a day to survive, and it can also keep me warm!"

Aslaug: "In simple terms, you just want free stuff. You misunderstood me earlier!"

Good grief, you're so good at keeping a straight face, like a Sichuan opera actor. As expected, women are fickle.

ApplePieLover: "Stick out your tongue. 侌JPG. Oops, wrong, wrong!"

ApplePieLover: "Okay, no more jokes. I’m here to confirm where the gold came from. If everything checks out, I’ll go to the Square tomorrow or the day after!"

[Aslaug]: "No problem. You can keep the rest of the money for apple pie~"

[Aslaug]: "Heart JPG."

ApplePieLover: "Heart JPG."

After that, Bai Mo exited the chat interface. She still had to arrange gifts for Elysia and Sakura.

So annoying... she doesn't know what to give them right now.

What should she do? Maybe make something small by hand. It doesn’t need to be extravagant, just something thoughtful.

For Elysia, she could knit her a pink hat with little cat ears! Maybe add a matching pair of small gloves to keep her warm in winter.

Yeah! That’s cute, very fitting for her.

But the problem is, Bai Mo can't knit. So, she’ll have to ask Eden for help later.

She'll have to wait until she's away from Ellie, or it will spoil the surprise.

After all, girls like surprises, and Elysia is no exception.

With that gift idea sorted, the next one is for the Flamechasers.

But that’s easy. She can just get the Flamechasers a few tickets to the amusement park and let them take Rin out for a day of fun. As long as Rin is happy, everyone will be too.

Perfect!

After solving two problems with ease, Bai Mo admired her own cleverness.

Forget about intelligence loss—this is clearly genius at work!

Having sorted everything out, Bai Mo returned to the chat group and prepared to chat with the group members for a while. She could also check on the progress of the old man and the books she’d sent out, something he was quite curious about.

...

On the other side, in the dormitory of Penguin Logistics.

After regaining consciousness and still anxious about how to transport the gold, Exusai was pacing back and forth.

After all, three tons of gold is no small amount—there’s no way a mere Sakota could lift it.

Even Croissant probably wouldn’t have the strength.

If Bai Mo were here, she would probably suggest, "Can't we just store all of this in the system mall and buy it back when you leave?"

Unfortunately, Miss Exusai hadn’t thought of that and could only wait anxiously.

This story teaches us a valuable lesson: Don’t eat apple pie every day, or you’ll start to take on its shape.

Click.

At that moment, the dormitory door opened.

A  gray figure walked in with a bag of pocky. It was Texas, who had just returned from the mall.

Habitually taking off her shoes, Texas muttered to herself, "Sora said she wants to throw a party tonight, we’ll..."

But before she could finish her sentence, her peripheral vision caught sight of the two suitcase-sized gold bars.

Suddenly, her expression froze.

After double-checking the room number to make sure she was in the right place, Texas turned to look at Exusai with a knowing look.

At the same time, Exusai noticed her, raised her head, and the two made eye contact.

"........"

Texas twitched her mouth slightly, and under the curious gaze of the Exusai, she silently took out her phone.

"Hey, hey, hey, Texas, what are you doing?"

Exusai thought Texas was going to call the LGD, so she rushed over to try to stop her.

"Don’t panic. I’m just checking the news to see if the bank in Lungmen was robbed, and if you’re the culprit."

It must be said, Texas really knows how to stay calm in situations like this.

When Exusai heard that Texas wasn’t calling the LGD, she let out a relieved sigh.

"So, what’s going on with the gold?"

Before Exusai could explain, Texas put her phone away and asked again.

What she had said earlier was just a joke. As a friend, Texas trusted Exusai’s character.

"These are from Amo, a friend of mine. She asked me to buy things for her."

"They’re from the people in the chat group in my mind. I remember mentioning them before."
