I'm in Teyvat, join the chat group.

"Hey, system, what's going on? Why isn't it love, but faith? And this faith is way too intense! Even Barbara can't compare."

Noelle's personality makes it difficult for her to fall in love with someone.

So, her faith in you is also very pure. However... this faith is indeed a bit too much; she seems to have become an extreme fanatic of yours.

How extreme is it?

[Hmm...it's probably similar to Otto's faith in Kallen.]

'Hmm~ That's definitely a bit too extreme. Speaking of which, do I still need to use emotional manipulation?'

[It's meaningless now. Faith has reached a point where it can't be raised any higher. At most, it can only slightly change the outward manifestations, but the core cannot be altered.]

'ah? ’

To be honest, I'm quite shocked too. You really were lucky this time.

[Noelle was in a bad state and suffered a major blow, falling into self-doubt and denying her past life.]

[This, combined with their existing faith in the wind god, barely allowed them to accomplish this miracle.]

I don't think I'd be able to succeed even if I tried again.

Li Xiao watched as Noelle's expression returned to normal, accompanied by an elegant smile.

'Nothing much has changed, has it?'

Try sending a slightly more excessive command.

"Then, Noelle, may I lick your delicate feet?"

Why is it that you're always thinking about these things?!

"sure."

Noelle answered with a light laugh.

Then she gently sat on the sofa, bent down and took her jade-like feet, encased in black stockings, out of her shoes, and stretched her legs out, placing them on Li Xiao's lap, who was sitting on the other side of the sofa.

She didn't ask why; since Li Xiao said so, there must be a reason behind it.

No need to think, no need to doubt, no need to understand, and no need to explain.

Just follow his guidance and move forward. Because he must be right.

Noelle didn't think this feeling was bad, and even hoped it would continue indefinitely.

She felt that the first half of her life must have lacked a mentor.

And now, he has appeared.

After a while, Li Xiao spoke casually.

"Alright, Noelle, you can put it away."

Noelle did as she was told, pulling her slightly damp black stockings back into her shoes.

"Master, is there anything else you need?"

"That's all. You can go and try out the blessing I gave you."

"Okay, I'll leave first then."

Noelle curtsied and gracefully withdrew, seemingly eager to try out her newly acquired ability and see what it felt like to help others after filtering their information.

Watching her departing figure, Li Xiao sighed with emotion.

"Is this the first person whose emotions surged without using emotional manipulation techniques?"

Indeed, but I thought you would take the opportunity to do something to Noelle.

Li Xiao asked with an indignant expression, "Am I that kind of person?"

【do not you?】

“Okay, I am. Actually, I was just quite satisfied with Barbara and Eileen yesterday and today, and I don’t want anything to happen with Noelle so soon, because that would take away a lot of happiness.”

[Are you impotent? There are only a few people here! You think you can build a harem with just this many?]

The system's voice sounded somewhat disdainful.

Li Xiao instantly became anxious.

"You're talking nonsense! You're the one who's no good! If you're so capable, transform into a human and I'll test you right now!"

The system indicated it didn't want to speak and then gave Li Xiao a skill.

Congratulations on acquiring the skill - Super Stamina Recovery!

[Super Stamina Recovery - Every time you lose stamina, it recovers rapidly, giving you inexhaustible energy! However, it seems to only work in certain specific areas.]

Li Xiao fell silent.

He silently acquired the skill, then, as if burying his head in the sand, opened the chat group.

Li Xiao: "@Bronya, have the people over there arrived yet?"

Bronya: "That white-haired dwarf named Theresa you mentioned has just arrived, but Cocolia's mother received the news beforehand and disappeared."

Bronya and Raiden Mei are currently hesitant about whether to approach Theresa, given Raiden Mei's status as a Herrscher of the Ring.

Li Xiao: "I'll go over right away and agree."

Passing through the same portal, Li Xiao stepped out of her house and into a room filled with girlish charm.

"Li Xiao, you've finally arrived!"

Seeing that Li Xiao had indeed arrived just as Bronya had predicted, Raiden Mei let out a surprised sound.

Bronya nodded to Li Xiao as well.

"Well then, let me explain the situation first."

"This morning, Cocolia's mother sent a message saying that the situation had changed and that I should go into hiding for the time being. After that, I could no longer contact her."

Not long after, a Schicksal warship arrived in Changkong City. A search of the Anti-Entropy database revealed that this warship belonged to the Hyperion, a branch of Schicksal's Far East Command.

Chapter Twenty-Seven: Mei, Please Fall in Love with Me!

"After we discovered the Hyperion, Bronya mobilized the cameras in Long Sky City, and based on the characteristics of the white-haired dwarf you mentioned earlier, we quickly identified Theresa, the head of the Far East Branch."

When we found her, she was searching for something. And she seemed a little agitated.

Bronya seems to have already told Raiden Mei that she is Cocolia's adopted daughter. Judging from their expressions, Raiden Mei doesn't seem to care much about it.

"Irritable?"

Li Xiao seemed to remember something.

It seems that the wind that carried his voice wasn't set to shut off when he left, right?

Based on the elemental power he provided, it should last for about 7 days and 7 nights?

After all, wind can produce sound, and people can create wind by breathing. People can't stop breathing, can they?

This is equivalent to someone constantly talking next to you; no one can stand it for long.

With the technology of this world, is there no way to solve this problem?

[Don't you even know how long it's been? Doesn't it take time to understand elemental power, a completely new force different from Honkai energy?]

That's fine.

"Hmm... let's not meet with Theresa for now."

"it is good."

Bronya and Raiden Mei had no objections; they would just do whatever Li Xiao said.

Li Xiao used his telescope to listen and discovered that Theresa was still searching for the person who was delivering the message, namely herself, while muttering curses under her breath.

His lips twitched, and he quickly turned off her telepathic communication.

Then, upon further inquiry, it was discovered that Tesla and Einstein had also arrived, though they had not shown themselves.

Tesla was also criticizing him, and the criticism was quite harsh. Compared to that, Theresa's criticism was almost like she was being coquettish.

"Damn it, don't let me find him, or I'll fuck him, then... I'll fuck him to death!"

That's roughly what she was saying. A barrage of censored words flooded Li Xiao's ears, making his face turn dark instantly.

So he changed the sounds around Tesla to all sorts of bizarre music, and then turned off the voice transmission of the silent Einstein next to her.

After Li Xiao finished doing all that, he looked at Raiden Mei.

"Mei, do you want to become the Herrscher of Thunder?"

"But wouldn't that lead to the destruction of Changkong City?"

Raiden Mei hesitated for a moment. To be honest, as a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur) girl, she really wanted superpowers.

But if the price is someone else's life, the kind-hearted girl cannot convince herself to accept it with a clear conscience.

"I don't think it said that becoming the Herrscher of Thunder meant you had to destroy Changkong City, did it?"

"Eh?"

"A Herrscher can only be born in the area where the disaster occurs when the power reaches more than 1000HW at the moment of the Honkai outbreak."

Of course, a prerequisite for becoming a Herrscher is having enough negative emotions in order to gain the Honkai's recognition.

"Li Xiao, do you mean that as long as the power and quantity of Honkai energy are sufficient, and Mei generates enough negative emotions, she can become a Herrscher?"

Bronya understood. No wonder Cocolia's mother secretly had those students bully Raiden Mei, even though those students were also willing to do it for some reason.

“That’s right! Because Mei has the Conquest Gem embedded in her body, which can also be regarded as a half-finished Herrscher core. Therefore, as long as the conditions are right, Mei will definitely become a Herrscher.”

Raiden Mei suddenly realized something: Conquering the gems? Is this why I'm being targeted?

Why is there something like this inside my body?

"That was implanted in your body by your father."
