Jojo looked at the spear in front of her throat and continued, "I took Wendy away from that perverted scientist Edward and kept her at home, and it wasn't just because I coveted her beauty."
Durandal held Jojo's collar, her eyebrows slightly raised, half believing and half doubting. In her opinion, Wendy was just a failed experiment in the process of developing gems, with crippled legs and nothing special except for being pretty.
Jojo noticed the confusion in Durandal's eyes and continued, "Don't let Wendy's current disability and her reliance on an exoskeleton to stand fool you. Before the experiments, she was a key figure in Schicksal's training program, and her adaptability to Honkai energy is no less than yours, Durandal."
When Jojo mentioned Wendy's past experiences, Durandal was very puzzled. Why did Jojo know so much about Wendy?
But on second thought, Durandal accepted Jojo's explanation. After all, if he could foresee something like the impending Honkai, investigating Wendy's past wouldn't be too difficult.
However, if what Qiao Qiao said is true... then Wendy is really a pity. She was originally the only choice for the fourth S-class Valkyrie of Destiny, but now she has become a cripple with both legs disabled.
In the past, Durandal always thought that Schicksal was a righteous organization fighting against the Honkai, but now it seems that the dark side of Schicksal is far more cruel than she imagined, and even a little girl like Wendy has become a victim of Schicksal's high-ranking officials and scientists.
Qiao Qiao knew about Wendy's past from playing games before he transmigrated. He told Durandal everything in detail, and seeing her expression change from gloomy to sunny, he simply confessed to her the reason for getting close to Wendy.
"Valkyries like Wendy, who are highly adaptable to Honkai energy, are excellent candidates for Herrschers. In addition, she possesses the Gem of Desire. Don't underestimate her just because she is a pitiful and weak little girl now. Once the fourth Honkai impact occurs, she will become a Herrscher and easily raze the entire New Zealand to the ground."
Upon hearing Jojo say that Wendy was about to transform into the Herrscher of the Wind, Durandal's mouth dropped open in surprise.
If anyone else had said these words, Durandal would never have believed that a crippled Valkyrie could become the Fourth Herrscher.
But JoJo's intelligence-gathering ability far exceeds what ordinary people can imagine. She knew long ago that Cocolia had two daughters and that they would be injured in the Honkai. She also knew the secret that the Gem of Desire was hidden in the New Zealand base.
If it were JoJo, it wouldn't be impossible for her to have the ability to foresee the future.
After all, Durandal had previously encountered Su, a pioneer who could observe parallel worlds and foresee the future.
Knowing that Jojo kept Wendy by her side only because she was a Herrscher body, Durandal breathed a sigh of relief, feeling all her previous suspicions and anger melt away.
"No...that's not right!"
Durandal's expression immediately tightened, and she shook her head.
Why would I be happy because Jojo doesn't like Wendy? What does it matter to me whether he likes Wendy or not?! I don't like him anyway!
After learning that Jojo's reason for taking in Wendy wasn't because he liked her, Durandal's expression softened slightly. She then released Jojo's collar, giving him a chance to catch his breath.
As Durandal's face moved away from Jojo's, Wendy, who was hiding outside the door, finally recognized the tall, voluptuous blonde beauty in the room as Durandal, whom she had long admired!
Why would Lady Durandal secretly meet with Brother Qiao in their room?!
And the two of them were behaving so intimately!
Are they secretly dating behind my back?!
Wendy's mind immediately conjured up images of the relationship between Durandal and Jojo, and she turned pale with fright.
Having someone you like for the first time, and also meeting the idol you admire most in your life, should have been a double joy, but why...?
"No! This is impossible!"
Wendy shook her head vigorously, trying to rouse herself, and then said, "I must be mistaken... Brother Qiao rescued me from the lab and took me home to take care of me personally. He's so good to me, I can't doubt his feelings for me..."
"It must be because I'm too far away that I'm seeing things!"
Wendy would rather doubt her own eyes than believe that Jojo could fall for any other woman besides herself.
Unlike Wendy, who was filled with inner turmoil outside the door, Durandal's expression improved considerably after learning that Jojo disliked Wendy. She asked again, "Wendy will be the future Herrscher of the Wind. Is that why you took her in?"
"That's natural. Only by first establishing trust with the Herrscher of the Wind's human personality can I seize the Herrscher core when she is at her most vulnerable!"
Although Durandal looked down on Jojo's methods of manipulating others through emotions, she had to admit that... his ability to get the Herrscher of Wind for free without firing a single shot or suffering any harm was truly astonishing.
Not to mention her, even Bishop Otto probably didn't have his foresight and methods.
Durandal's expression was complex. She was pleased that Jojo didn't have romantic feelings for Wendy, but she was also afraid of Jojo's self-serving nature...
If her kindness towards Wendy was all for her own benefit, then was his previous confession to her also a form of manipulation?
Actually, Jojo still had something he didn't tell Durandal. He did want to get the Herrscher Core, that's true, but more importantly... Jojo was already pitiful. In the game, Wendy was sent to the New Zealand base by St. Freya to undergo gem transplantation, resulting in her legs being crippled, being abandoned, and then falling into madness, suffering the fate of being treated as a sinner.
If... this world absolutely needs a sinner... then let me be the villain!
As Jojo looked at the dangerous weapon pressed against her throat, she said softly to Durandal, "Miss Durandal, please believe me, I will obtain the Gem of Desire from Wendy. After the deal is completed, I will naturally release you and your companions and disappear from your sight completely."
Will it disappear completely after the transaction is completed?
Yulandel touched her lips and muttered a few words to herself, her expression somewhat forlorn.
As expected... Qiaoqiao only ever wanted to use me; she had absolutely no feelings for me whatsoever...
When you said you liked me before, you were just toying with my feelings, just like you did with Cocolia and Wendy.
The more Yulandel understood about Jojo, the more she realized how skillful he was at manipulating people's hearts. In his eyes, she was like a high school girl who hadn't yet experienced the pleasures of life, while he was a middle-aged man who had slept with many married women. They were simply not on the same level.
In Jojo's eyes, she was probably just a plaything he could toy with at will, no different from Cocolia and Wendy...
Even knowing that Jojo was just toying with her feelings, Durandal still couldn't let go of her special feelings for Jojo...
After asking the question that had been bothering her, Durandal slowly lowered her slender hand that was holding the spear, without intending to ask any further questions. After all, Jojo's current friendship with Wendy was all for the sake of obtaining the Herrscher Core, which would not jeopardize the deal between Durandal and Jojo.
Seeing that Durandal's spear was no longer aimed at her throat, JoJo's eyes gleamed. Seizing the opportunity, she deflected the black spear with one hand, then grabbed Durandal's hands, taking the chance to suppress all her next movements.
"Qiaoqiao...you! Stop!"
"Stop? If I stop, you'll definitely hold the Black Abyss White Flower to my throat like you did just now!"
Jojo grabbed Durandal and shoved her to one side of the room, while Durandal resisted with all her might.
The two struggled against each other, rolling onto the bed and rolling back and forth, causing the bed to vibrate and make a series of crisp sounds.
Wendy, standing outside the door, watched as Jojo pinned Durandal down on the bed, rolling and pounding on her. Hearing the creaking of the bed, her heart ached, and her eyes filled with tears.
Originally, Qiao Qiao was unwilling for Qiao Qiao to actually have an affair with Durandal, but now that they've slept together...
The facts are clear. Wendy isn't stupid; how could she not know what was going on between them?
"Brother Qiaoqiao, you already have me, so why are you still entangled with other women... Are you just playing around with me?!"
Wendy watched as Jojo and Durandal became unusually active in bed, feeling an indescribable anguish. Her fingers gripped the doorknob tightly; she desperately wanted to stop them right then and there.
But the thought of the man she loved most and the woman she admired most in bed made her hesitate.
If I were to rush forward like this, my relationship with Brother Qiao and Lady Durandal would surely be shattered...
Wendy didn't want to go back to those lonely and desolate days when she was tied to the experimental table by scientists, so she could only cover her cherry-like mouth to keep quiet, swallow her grievances, and slowly leave the room as if she hadn't seen anything.
"Brother Xiao Qiao...why...why is this happening...what did I do wrong?"
After leaving the room, Wendy slowly backed away, but as she felt uneasy, she suddenly slipped and fell.
Qiao Qiao tied Durandal to the bed with a rope. Durandal, who had just been interrogating Qiao Qiao, was now tied up like a dumpling, with a towel stuffed in her mouth, so she couldn't speak.
As the torturer of the World Serpent, it's perfectly reasonable for me to keep ropes in my room, right?
"How about that? Now you know how powerful I am, right?!"
"I'm so proud of myself," Qiao Qiao said.
[Congratulations, host, you have received 100 crystals.]
what?
Is binding a girl considered a villainous act?
Isn't that a bit perverted?
"Snapped!"
Qiao Qiao had just finished dealing with Durandal and was breathing a sigh of relief when she suddenly heard strange noises coming from outside the door. Puzzled, she slowly got up and walked towards the door.
Chapter 117 Qiao Qiao's Two Faces (3k)
Hearing strange noises outside, he abandoned the bound and gagged Durandal and walked towards the door.
Wendy, who had just fallen, immediately heard Jojo's footsteps as she walked away. She quickly got up from the ground and fled the scene, but before she knew it, the bandage wrapped around her foot slipped off and fell to the floor.
Qiaoqiao reached out and opened the door, but seeing no one outside, she touched her head in surprise.
Did I mishear?
Not seeing a single person, Qiaoqiao thought she was just imagining things. Looking down, she noticed a bandage on the ground. Picking it up and examining it closely, she wondered, "What is this...?"
Just as Jojo was observing what was in front of him, he heard Yulandal's voice coming from inside the house behind him. She was desperately trying to break free from the ropes binding her.
Unable to find anyone, Qiaoqiao ignored the sound she had just heard, stuffed the bandage into her pocket, and said to Durandal inside the room, "You better behave yourself, or I'll take your clothes off!"
Upon hearing Qiao Qiao's words, Durandal immediately fell silent. She knew that she had no way to resist whatever Qiao Qiao did to her now.
Outside the room, along the hallway wall, Wendy saw Jojo return to her room. Lost in thought, she wiped away the tears welling in her eyes and clenched her slender hands, saying, "Little brother... even if you're just playing around with me, I will never give you to another woman..."
After your conversation with Durandal ended, you threw her, who was bound like a dumpling, back into her room.
When you came downstairs, Wendy had already prepared a table full of food. When she first saw you, her eyes darted away, but she quickly put on her usual smile: "Brother Qiao, come and try the spicy tofu I made especially for you today."
For some reason, you enjoyed being taken care of by Wendy, so you didn't refuse her kindness and finished the meal she prepared for you. Then, with a serious expression, you said, "Wendy, I know you were originally destined to be the Valkyrie, but you lost your original power because of your desire for the gem. Now... I want to help you retrieve the gem of desire. Are you willing?"
Hearing your question, Wendy's slender body trembled slightly, her heart filled with turmoil. She had always believed that the Gem of Desire within her was the source of all the suffering and experimentation she had endured, and she had always wanted to rid herself of this burden. But... now she was terrified that if she removed the Gem of Desire, she would be cruelly abandoned by you.
Wendy clenched her fists nervously, her emerald eyes filled with panic. Unbeknownst to her, you had become indispensable, far more important than the power she had lost because of her desire for the jewel, or her teachers. She could lose everything, but she couldn't bear to see you leave her side.
[You noticed the wavering in Wendy's eyes, so you took her trembling hand and said, "Wendy, for you, I can continue living this peaceful life. Would you do me this favor?"]
Upon hearing your words, Wendy immediately calmed down. Deep down, she longed to be of service to you; she was willing to do anything to help the one she loved and make you happy.
Finally, Wendy gently took your hand and agreed to go in for surgery to remove the coveted gem.
[After obtaining Wendy's consent, you attempted to use the power of the Herrscher of the Void to extract the Gem of Desire from her body. However, contrary to your wishes, the moment the gem came into contact with the outside world, it instantly released powerful Honkai energy, making it impossible to maintain its original stable state.]
[After the experiment, you confirmed once again that the Desire Gem cannot remain stable in the external environment. To remove it from Wendy's body, you must find another person to act as the vessel for the Desire Gem in her place.]
If Jojo forcibly removes the Gem of Desire, not only will Wendy die from the Honkai energy eruption, but the entire New Zealand will also be destroyed in the Honkai.
To prevent the Lust Gem from exploding and wiping out all of New Zealand, you must continue to keep the Lust Gem inside Wendy.
You kept Wendy hidden in your home, strictly forbidding her from leaving, and completely halted the development of the Desire Gem.
To completely repair Wendy's legs and enable her to stand without an exoskeleton, you convened a research and development meeting for nerve repair nanomedicine.
During the meeting, a group of professors in white coats interrupted your speech. They were all supporters of Dr. Edwards and demanded the immediate restart of research into the Gem of Desire.
That Dr. Edwards truly lived up to his reputation as a former senior member of the research institute, someone who could rival the prestige of Elhesen.
Although he was taken away by fate for judgment and suffered a crushing defeat, he still left behind many henchmen to fight against Jojo and attempt to restore the development of the Gem of Desire.
Dr. Edward's followers are trying to get you to restart the development of the Gem of Desire, and what will you choose...?
