Honkai Impact 3rd, I started as Spain's daughter?

Although she doesn't resemble Alicia at all, the contrast between them makes Eden feel good.

Of course, Eden would feel even better if the Underworld were placed separately.

“Eden…”

After a long while, Alicia finally spoke weakly.

Eden ignored her completely and gave Huang Quan many things, including rare decorations, tea and wine, all of which Eden had carefully selected.

After putting the gauze on Huang Quan, Eden seemed to only just realize Alicia's presence and spoke:

"My dear Ellie, what are you still doing here?"

"Huang Quan is your daughter. It's the first time you've met her, and you haven't prepared a single gift?"

Faced with Eden's words, Alicia could only look pitifully to Aponia for help.

This isn't about gifts; it's Eden using the underworld to drive her away.

If she really leaves like this, it will be difficult for her to maintain her maternal authority in the afterlife, not to mention that she will find it hard to sleep with Eden again.

"cough..."

Aponia closed her eyes, indicating that it was none of her business and that she was just there to watch the drama unfold.

"Hmm? My dear Ellie, haven't you prepared a gift for your lovely daughter?"

"Or..."

Alicia had a bad feeling; she felt that Eden had been building up for so long just to say the following sentence.

"You've been focusing all your energy on your 'wife,' Raiden Mei?"

Looking at Eden's "kind" expression, Alicia's breath hitched.

"Should I take you out to get your marriage certificate with your good Mei?"

P.S.: Bounty offered!

Chapter 71: The Underworld: My mother has been dead for 50,000 years?

After sending Huang Quan to the Land of Bliss, Gray Serpent could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

He had completed all the tasks that Alicia had given him. During this time, the World Serpent managed to control Chi You's condition and retrieve the Heavenly Fire Judgment from Anti-Entropy.

Although Gray Serpent has clearly sided with Huang Quan, or more accurately, with Alicia behind Huang Quan, he still needs to explain himself if the Lord appears prematurely.

"Grey Serpent, I'm a cadre of the World Serpent, why would I need to hide anything from you?"

A jackal with brown hair, dark skin, and wearing a mask leaned against the doorway, looking quite disgruntled.

"Hidden from you? What do you mean?"

The gray snake looked at the jackal, its scarlet mechanical eyes flashing.

"Regarding the Yellow Springs matter, did you treat her like a lord? You poured so much manpower into getting her to go to St. Freya Academy, even going so far as to remove our spy we painstakingly planted at Destiny Headquarters..."

The jackal said with great dissatisfaction.

Because of Huang Quan, the funds and resources lost by World Snake have greatly affected the progress of her experiments.

"So what if it is, and so what if it isn't? Jackal, get your act together. Do as many experiments as you have the resources, do your job well, and don't meddle in other people's business."

This wasn't the first time the Gray Serpent had warned the Jackals, but the Gray Serpent was too lazy to explain. Although they had been to the Land of the Dead, they knew nothing of the true truth.

Telling them would just be a waste of time and energy.

"I saw her fuse with the gem, so directly integrating the Herrscher's gem into her body, yet she didn't react at all..."

Jackal's words caused a flash of murderous intent to appear in Gray Snake's scarlet eyes for the first time.

When Huangquan fused with the gem, it was watching and not letting anyone in. Clearly, the jackal knew about this and had undoubtedly checked the surveillance footage.

Huang Quan is considered the daughter of that lord, and her status is far higher than theirs. Jackal's actions are tantamount to insubordination, and this matter is completely outside her scope of duties.

Although the jackal was unaware of this, the gray snake had hinted at it so many times that if the jackal had any sense, it would have been best to keep quiet even if it had seen the matter.

"Jackal, although our World Snake doesn't have that many people, we can always find someone to fill in for a missing leader..."

"Take care of yourself."

The gray snake patted her on the shoulder and then left.

This was its final warning, or rather, its threat.

It had already given such a hint, yet the jackal still dared to keep its eyes on Huang Quan; this had already crossed the gray snake's bottom line.

"Miss Huang Quan has been in Paradise for several days now, but as for Destiny..."

The gray snake had a rather large head.

Huang Quan wasn't entirely clear about the deal between the lords and Destiny this time; all he was told was the deal itself, and Destiny hadn't investigated Huang Quan's identity at St. Freya Academy.

In other words, if Huang Quan wanted to go back to teaching, there would theoretically be no problem.

But after leaving Paradise, does Miss Huangquan really still have the heart to teach?

Of course, what Gray Serpent was most concerned about was Raiden Mei's identity.

Her identity is far too complex; she is the daughter of Raiden Ryoma, the former executor of Anti-Entropy, the Valkyrie of Schicksal, and now the mother of Yomi, a executive of World Serpent...

With such a complicated identity, she could go to any faction, but she wouldn't gain much trust from any of them.

Huang Quan hoped that Raiden Mei could study peacefully at St. Freya Academy, and that Gray Snake could not forcibly bring her to World Snake.

However, if she stays outside all day and gets hurt, or is used by someone like Otto like this time, it could easily become an obvious weakness.

It's very troublesome.

When World Serpent retrieved the Judgment of Heavenly Fire from Anti-Entropy, it also brought back the Thunder Dragon Horse from Anti-Entropy's base.

Thunder Dragon Horse is also considered Huang Quan's grandfather, so it would be good to let him meet Huang Quan in advance and give him a heads-up.

Of course, this is also to prevent the possibility of Raiden Ryoma being accidentally injured in the upcoming conflict between World Serpent and Anti-Entropy.

Tie him up and keep him under control; that will at least ensure his safety and survival.

Anyway, he and Huang Quan weren't that close, so there was no need for Gray Snake to be so nice to him.

Just being alive is enough.

.......

"Don't you think so, my dear Ellie?"

At this moment, Alicia was drenched in sweat and felt extremely uncomfortable.

"Why aren't you saying anything, my dear Airi?"

Eden's smile carried no other meaning; the switch between her affection for Huang Quan and her "kindness" towards Alicia was instantaneous.

Or are you thinking about how to treat everyone fairly?

Alicia, who was lost in thought with her head down, froze when she heard Eden's words.

It was as if someone had touched a raw nerve.

As Eden said, Alicia was indeed racking her brains to figure out how to treat everyone fairly.

She'll definitely have to side with Eden a little, because if she doesn't side with Eden, she'll have to sleep alone at night.

However, Alicia was also somewhat interested in Raiden Mei.

After all, she had a connection with Huang Quan, a child of hers, so Alicia definitely needed to work on it properly...

cough.

Because she couldn't let go of either side, and because Alicia knew very well that lying to Eden was basically courting death.

Eden knew her better than Alicia herself.

Not long ago, Alicia watched Kevin and Su Lizheng get beaten up, but now she herself has no choice but to stand up and take the beating.

Only by adopting the right attitude can she be treated leniently. Alicia believed that Eden would understand her.

"Hmm, my dear Eden... well, you know, this wasn't my idea either..."

Alicia blinked slightly, scratched her head, and tried to get away with being cute.

"Hey..."

As long as she acted cute in front of Eden, no matter what happened, Eden would forgive her.

"Hmm? My dear Ellie, acting cute and spoiled in front of children is not a good example."

This time, Eden unusually did not follow her lead, but instead used the Yellow Springs to completely shut Alicia down.

"..."

Faced with Eden's blatant rebuttal, Alicia was clearly at a loss.

She can't get involved with Raiden Mei; doing so would be like rubbing salt into a wound.

It's like when you mention your ex's name in front of your current partner. You'll find that even if your current partner doesn't say anything on the surface, things could get complicated in the future.

But for Alicia, there's no such thing as an ex or a current boyfriend.

Seeing the pink fairy completely powerless against Eden, and even starting to act cute, Huang Quan sighed softly.

Whether it's Eden holding her hand or Aponia beside her, they are both very mature, which explains why they can control their mischievous mother.

"Um..."

Huang Quan was about to speak up to ease the situation for Alicia. Although Alicia's behavior of wanting to have her cake and eat it too, and her idea of ​​trying to treat both sides equally, was a bit audacious, she was, after all, his mother.

Let Raiden Mei consider these things later.

"Don't worry, Huang Quan, it's okay. I've known your mother for so many years, and I understand her very well."

Eden, observing her expression, smiled knowingly and spoke.

"..."

It was obvious that Eden had already guessed what the mother and daughter were thinking.
