Miss Riddler just wants to level up in peace.

First, she learned a lot of things she shouldn't have known.

Secondly, many of her deceptions have been exposed, and her allegiance is quite subtle; she is neither Destiny, nor Anti-Entropy, nor World Serpent.

"Hey, save me a piece of the alum crystal from there."

Kiana pointed to one of the columns and said that she had seen this kind of crystal in a jewelry store, and it would be perfect for making a pendant.

"Ah."

Don't you want to ask me what I'm going to do with it?

"It's just ore crystallization; you're free to do whatever you want with it."

Ziyao didn't understand what Kiana meant, and the other girl seemed a little unhappy after hearing it.

But then she thought about it again and realized that this was a sign that Ziyao trusted her, and her mood suddenly improved.

A gentle sea breeze blew by as the two sat on reinforced chairs on the deck.

I heard that the cruise company used inferior steel plates to save money, and when the waves were high, several tourists and their chairs were swept into the sea.

The problem wasn't addressed until it occurred; after offering an apology, the company immediately replaced the chair with a new one.

"Does Ziyao have any favorite things?"

"Things I like... electronic components, like graphics cards and the like."

Graphics cards... those can't be made by hand, can they...?

Kiana couldn't help but feel embarrassed. Sometimes she felt that Ziyao wasn't quite like a girl.

"Jewelry, or pretty clothes, girls all like these things."

"Jewelry...it just adds weight. Small items like bows and hair ties are fine, but jewelry is out of the question."

"It's unnecessary to spend too much, unless the value it generates outweighs the cost."

"As for pretty clothes, I prefer to see other girls wear them."

Ziyao has a simple set of values; she doesn't like luxury goods and focuses more on practicality.

"As expected, anything too flashy doesn't suit Ziyao."

Kiana whispered.

They know how to be meticulous and calculate carefully, ensuring that every detail is accurate and without any omissions.

She is a virtuous and capable wife who knows how to manage a household!

Volume 1: Chapter 36 Changkong City (Part 2)

Why have you barged in again, servant?

In the space of consciousness, Sirin expressed her dissatisfaction.

She said she was dissatisfied, but she was really just unhappy because Ziyao was ignoring her.

If it were truly a matter of refusal, Ziyao would absolutely not be allowed to enter this place.

"Don't worry, I'll be out soon."

The line of sight becomes higher.

The sea was vast and boundless, with not a single piece of land in sight.

Clenching his hands, Kiana's body was much stronger than his own, probably because she was a Valkyrie and had superior physical abilities.

"The compatibility is much better than yesterday. We're heading to Changkong City later, so let's stop here for today."

Manipulating the Herrscher places an extremely heavy burden on one's mental energy.

In just two minutes, my vision began to blur and my legs went weak.

Even with the shrine maiden outfit reducing mental energy consumption, it still wouldn't last long.

Enough is enough.

This level of compatibility is more than sufficient for making dolls.

The remaining issue is the materials, which is a bit of a headache. Where should we get them?

"I'm going to take a shower first."

Back in her original body, Ziyao felt slightly dizzy due to a significant reduction in her mental energy, so she took a shower to clear her head.

Kiana kindly helped her and led her to the bedroom.

After confirming that Ziyao would not come out again, Kiana secretly took out a box filled with tiny silver rings smaller than a fingernail, shaped like a cat's face, which shone with a bright metallic luster under the spotlight.

Patiently fasten them together with pliers, and you have a necklace.

Ten times the patience, accompanied by a trace of the power of the Lawgiver.

The silver rings fit together perfectly, interlocking seamlessly, making the necklace appear as if it were made from a single piece.

Humming a lullaby, Kiana finally pieced together the last piece.

Looking at the empty space, she was a little troubled. Should she use alum crystal or something else?

I can't help but imagine what kind of expression Ziyao will have when she receives the gift.

"Click—"

The bathroom door opens.

Upon hearing the sound, Kiana hurriedly hid the box under the sofa and took out her phone, pretending to surf the internet.

His mind was completely focused on hiding the matter, and he didn't notice the teacup on the table.

With a tap of his elbow, the poor glass shattered into countless pieces in an instant.

"Are you feeling listless?"

Concerned that Kiana might be affected by being controlled, Ziyao asked.

"N-nothing, it was just an accident. I got a little engrossed in watching game videos!"

"But your phone is upside down."

Kiana only realized she had held it upside down after being reminded, which led to another round of explanations.

One lie requires countless lies to cover it up, just to preserve the surprise for next Thursday.

【........snort.】

.....

At noon, land appeared at the edge of the sea.

"We've reached the Far East already? So fast!?"

With her hands gripping the railing, the girl gazed into the distance and saw a protruding piece of land at the northern horizon, with several towering mountains stacked together and covered with tall trees.

"No, it's just a small island."

"Kiana, can you use your powers to fold space and bring us to the island?"

"It's simple, just leave it to me."

Paramecium said confidently that Ziyao had helped her practice her powers over the past two days.

A mere spatial jump is nothing to worry about.

"Let's keep a low profile. If we're discovered, there's no point in us traveling by ship."

As she moved her luggage out of the room, Ziyao set the curtains on fire.

In less than twenty minutes, this room will be burned to ashes.

What about the others on board?

"Don't worry, the fire will only burn inside the bedroom; it won't spread outside."

"Then where are we going to sleep? We'll burn the room down... Ouch, that hurts! Why did you hit my head?"

The white-haired girl covered her head in grievance, her cheeks slightly puffed out.

“Remember when I said I could get to the Far East in two days?”

"Hey, you're planning to teleport there?"

Kiana immediately understood what Ziyao meant.

Using the powers of a Herrscher to jump long distances is easy to detect, but the journey itself is not necessarily so.

First, go to the uninhabited island, and use it as a transit point to jump directly to the Far East.

Moreover, this location is quite subtle on the map, being close to both China and the tropical islands. Even if they were discovered, no one would know which direction they jumped in.

A few days ago, when searching for Ziyao according to the note, Kiana jumped many times to avoid her fate.

Like a stubborn plaster, it was impossible to shake off, but Ziyao solved the problem with ease.

"I see... As expected of Ziyao."

As she spoke, she hugged him from behind, their height difference making it easy for her to pull him into her arms.

"Hey, you're heavy."

Ziyao pushed away the soft body pressing against her; it felt nice, but now was not the time to play around.

"Know it."

Kiana released Ziyao, and one of her eyes turned gold.

Raising his hand, the space in front of him twisted wildly under the control of the Herrscher's power, turning into a vortex.

"I'll go check it out first, remember to come back!"

Carrying her suitcase, Kiana walked into the vortex and disappeared.

She was clearly used to this kind of operation and wasn't worried at all about whether she could get out after going in.
