The photo in her hand was crumpled. Xilin looked around, but could not remember the direction Tachibana Yuki had just left. Amid the bustling laughter and joy around her, Xilin stared at her hands in a daze, and suddenly felt a sense of loneliness she had never felt before. It was like returning to the depths of Kiana's consciousness again, alone and with nothing. "Onee-sama, let's try this takoyaki that's popular all over the city!" "..." "sister?" "You wouldn't lie to me, would you?" Xilin grabbed Tachibana Yuki's wrist and asked word by word, using all her strength unconsciously. Tachibana Yuki was speechless. In fact, she has already cheated. Tachibana Yuki also felt that Xilin's mood was not right at the moment. It was a question whether to comfort Xilin or to lie to her further.
"Sister, are you unhappy?" "No! A mere human city has no effect on me!" "Sister, I cannot promise that I will not lie to you. Because deception is the way of survival and fighting of the Thousand Herrschers. This is my power." "That's not the answer I want!" Xilin said irritably, tears glistening in her eyes. Tachibana Yuki's heart softened, and she said softly, "But I will always be with you, my sister, and I will always love you, and I will always be with you, forever." These are the words Xilin wanted to hear. She lowered her head and said softly: "Don't lie to me." "No, that's all I have to say. There is absolutely no deception involved. I swear!" "Humph! Isn't it your power to cheat? I don't believe your lies!" "Well, how about I prove it with my actions, onee-sama?" Tachibana Yuki said this with a smile, looking at Xilin lovingly and affectionately. Xilin blinked woodenly. What actions can prove it? You are talking nonsense again... "!!!" Under the street lights, in the crowd, two beautiful black-haired girls embraced and kissed each other, forming an even more beautiful and romantic picture that made everyone who saw it unable to take their eyes off. The entanglement and plundering of the small lilac tongue in her mouth made Xilin open her eyes wide, and she stared motionlessly at Tachibana Xue's gentle eyes that were so close to her. After a long time, Xilin felt as if something had been let go and something had melted in her heart.
She closed her eyes and responded enthusiastically. 'Don't lie to me, as long as what I just said is true, then I...I can...can like you a little bit, Angie.' In the tenderness and sweetness of Tachibana Yuki, a tear fell from the corner of Xilin's closed eyes, and she herself didn't know what it meant. Chapter 121 Dangerous Thoughts After that day, Xilin was obviously different from before. She no longer felt impatient because she was losing power and unable to control the situation. She began to come into contact with human things other than games, anime, junk food, and other otaku-specific products, such as various magazines and websites. For example, she even came into contact with Tachibana Yuki's maids in the image of Tachibana Izumi with black hair and black pupils. It must be said that the calmness that comes naturally from possessing power, and the violent hatred towards the entire world, these factors that emerged from the queen's unflinching appearance, really shocked the maids. The most important thing, of course, was that her closeness and attachment to Tachibana Yuki began to calm down, as if she had finally been moved, or even made some kind of compromise. An Qi saw this, but she was not happy about her success. Because she also understood that Xilin was not moved by her, but saw a straw hanging in the dark and couldn't help wanting to grab it, that's all. Perhaps it was because Anqi's original motivation was possessiveness, and she used calculations to keep Xilin by her side. Such impure intentions naturally only led to such unreal results. "Sister, I love you~~" "It's so corny! Aren't you annoyed? I don't believe your sweet talk, save your breath!" "Hehe, if you don't believe me, I'll tell you every day until you believe me!" "What if I believed it?" "Then I'll say it every day!" "Humph!" Xilin was playing games and glanced at Tachibana Yuki with disdain. Tachibana Yuki came over and stuffed a cherry into Xilin's mouth. She smiled gently, then leaned against her shoulder and slowly closed her eyes. 'Forget it, it's not pure, if you regard me as your home, then I am willing to give you the warmth you want. It doesn't matter if it's true or false, as long as we are both happy and at ease, that's enough.' Tachibana Yuki sighed in her heart, and gradually fell asleep in the cool breeze blowing in from the window and the slightly sweet breath of Xilin. Xilin paused, turned her head and looked at Tachibana Yuki's adorable sleeping face. Then, she silently turned off the sound and continued her game, with a gentle arc unconsciously raised at the corner of her mouth. …… As the sun sets, on the coast of Saint Freya, Delta sighs softly. "Squeak~" The liquid that slowly poured out of the thermos was no longer the sweet wolfberry tea, but the dark green bitter melon juice. Delta collapsed in sorrow. "Wendy, I..."
"Bitter melon is rich in vitamin B, C, calcium, iron and other nutrients. Momordica charantia can burn fat, increase blood vessel permeability, protect cardiovascular system, help lower blood pressure and blood cholesterol, prevent diabetes, and enhance antiviral and anti-cancer capabilities - believe me, it is much healthier than wolfberry tea." "The problem is that for a month in a row, what was soaked was wolfberry, but what came out was bitter melon juice! Are you just seeking revenge?" "Yes! Do you have any ideas?" Wendy stood behind the wheelchair, gently rubbing Delta's temples with her hands, and asked with a gentle and sweet smile. Delta was speechless. "Tunttt! Burp~~" At this moment, Kiana, who was lying on the rocking chair next to her, drank half a bottle of Coke generously and burped comfortably. She had liked this rocking chair during the Chiyou War, but it was later given to Theresa by Delta. Today, while Theresa was busy at work, Kiana stole it from her house. The actual experience was better than Kiana expected. "Oh, it's wobbling like it's floating, Delta, where did you buy this?" "High-end custom edition, link to recommend you, mention my name and you can get 8% off." "You can tell your aunt later! I will take this chair home. Don't tell her. Just let her think it's thrown away. She will find funds to buy it." Kiana said with a carefree look, waving her hands nonchalantly. Delta glanced at her, then turned back to admiring the sunset without saying anything. Wendy's mouth twitched as she said: "Does Lady Theresa often embezzle public funds like this?" "I don't know about that. I only know that there is a sponsor named Tachibana Yuki in the Far East recently. She is given money and rocking chairs every day. My aunt just needs to mention it and she will get it." "I heard that Saint Freya's funds have suddenly increased a lot in the past six months, so some of the less financially strapped branches of the Destiny are eager to ask Lady Theresa what tricks she has." In fact, the new branch chief of the Oceania branch secretly wrote to Wendy two days ago, asking her in a nice way to find out the source of funding. The current situation of the Oceania branch is very embarrassing. They have money, but most of it is spent on living space and protection measures for Delta. Of course, this makes sense, because Delta is Oceania's biggest trump card and the biggest source of danger, and investment is necessary. But for areas outside Delta, the headquarters doesn't want to give a penny more than the basic expenses - after all, if Delta gets out of control, these places will be the first to be hit and will become ruins. Isn't it stupid to build a large-scale project on the crater of an active volcano? [Wendy, we in Oceania are suffering. You must help us. Please~~] Recalling the pitiful scene of the branch head crying, Wendy's mouth twitched. Kiana crossed her legs comfortably, resting her head with her hands, looking lazy and without any thoughts, and said: "You'll have to ask her yourself. I don't know." "That's true." Wendy rubbed her head in pain.
The issue of funding sources involves the development and planning of a branch. Generally speaking, it should be a very sensitive and confidential matter, and I always feel it is difficult to talk about it. Then, Wendy looked at Delta again, only to see her turning the thermos upside down and shaking it gently, as if she was trying to pour out the wolfberry water from the empty cup. "puff!" Wendy covered her mouth and chuckled, and finally took out Delta's original thermos from behind her. "Here you go." "Bitter melon juice again?" "You'll know if you pour it out!" "Ah! This reddish color, this sweet aroma, this mellow taste! My premium wolfberry hot tea, I've been craving it for a month now!" Delta held the cup, looking touched. Wendy shook her head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. “Are you addicted to this?” "What do you care! If you mess with Wendy, you will bully me!" "Ok?" "Wendy is the best, thank you Wendy~~" Delta changed her expression in a second and said sweetly. Wendy was once again at a loss for words as she just stared at the sunset with Delta. Her eyes, dyed red by the light, contained a complex feeling that only she knew. …… "Lord Yulandel, Delta's health has deteriorated, right?" "Ah? Uh, about this matter..." "I know everything. I saw Rita-sama dealing with that room. She told me everything. Really, she even pretended to throw me up in the air. Am I that fragile? Shouldn't she tell me openly about this kind of thing and then we face it together?" "Well, after all, she has reached the point of incontinence. Delta must also want to maintain her dignity in front of you." …… It's difficult to trick Rita, but it's easy to trick Yulandel. On the one hand, Yulandel has a straightforward personality and is not very good at lying. At most, she would keep silent to strangers, but it is difficult for her to hide anything from her trusted companions. On the other hand, Wendy had actually guessed the truth to some extent, and used the partial guesses to get the complete facts, which Yulandel could not resist. Wendy had imagined incontinence, but when she heard it for sure from Yulandel, her heart still sank, as if someone had squeezed her heart with a fist. But she couldn't let Delta know, she had to pretend she knew nothing, and she had to retaliate against Delta - in the gentlest way that would not cause any harm. 'Is this all I can do?'
Wendy was unwilling, and suddenly a very dangerous idea came to her mind. "The Serenity Gem Fusion experiment at the headquarters seems to be ongoing. I am the first Valkyrie who can accommodate a gem-hungry Valkyrie, so maybe I can..." Chapter 122: Have you heard that there is a Valkyrie in Oceania? "No, you can't. Reject the application." The next morning, Otto personally rejected Wendy's application to participate in the Serenity Gem Fusion Experiment.
