Do you think this world is serious?

On the other side, with Chen Xiuming's approval, Delta shot out like an arrow, her slender arm like a sharp sword, instantly piercing through the body of the Quantum Shadow and killing him.

Then, as Delta withdrew her arm, the body of the Quantum Shadow seemed to liquefy and was absorbed by her arm.

Now, Delta can consume Honkai energy not only through her mouth, but her entire body can be used as a "feeding vessel" to ingest Honkai energy. However, the experience of eating with her mouth is the best.

If it were just one or two Quantum Shadows, Delta would enjoy them slowly. But there were too many Quantum Shadows here, and eating them slowly with her mouth would take a very long time. So she switched to the fastest method of eating: "contact feeding."

No matter which part of the body it comes into contact with, as long as it can completely devour the quantum shadow, it will leave no residue.

Delta devoured the Quantum Shadow very quickly, consuming it completely in less than half a minute.

Under the moonlight, before Kallen and Himeko could even recover from their surprise, Delta had already returned to Chen Xiuming's side, her right hand stroking her flat stomach, showing no sign that she had just devoured all the Quantum Shadows.

Perhaps sensing the presence of Delta, their "natural enemy," the quantum shadows swimming in the sea no longer approached the beach, and even avoided Chen Xiuming and the others, fearing that they would become Delta's "food."

Delta was naturally aware of the Quantum Shadows' departure from the beach and couldn't help but feel deeply regretful.

Putting aside the fact that the Quantum Shadow tastes delicious, the fact that consuming it would grant her new abilities would make her crave it.

However, when faced with the pleasure of being intimate with Chen Xiuming, these weak quantum shadows could be selectively ignored.

These weak quantum shadows don't provide Delta with much of an improvement. Although they can grant her new abilities, she needs to devour thousands of weak quantum shadows to acquire them. It would be better to specifically seek out and devour the powerful quantum shadows.

"Xiu Ming, how many more things are you hiding from me...?"

Under the moonlight, Chu Yong had somehow put away the giant axe that was as tall as a man, and couldn't help but clutch Chen Xiuming's clothes, looking pitiful and on the verge of tears.

Chen Xiuming held the hand of the woman he had just embraced under the moonlight and gently comforted her, "Theresa, let's go home first, and then I will tell you everything you want to know."

Now that quite a few quantum shadows have infiltrated this world bubble, it's time for this world bubble to merge into the magical girl world bubble.

The "etheric singularity" that this world is in is not a physical object, but rather the "vampire" embraced by the moon.

The “ether singularity” is a specific entity, not an object, which causes the difficulty of merging two world bubbles to increase exponentially.

Especially since this was Chen Xiuming's first attempt to merge two world bubbles, the merging process was even more difficult.

However, with the assistance of Kiana and Alaya-vijnana, the fusion is unlikely to fail; at most, the process will be more troublesome and complicated.

"Senior, may I come along too?"

Ji Zi asked the question, her brows furrowed with apprehension and nervousness, worried that Chen Xiuming would reject her.

Chen Xiuming did not refuse Ji Zi. Even if Ji Zi did not suggest going home with the others, he would still invite her, since he still needed to help Ji Zi resolve her health issues.

How do we get back now?

Karen temporarily suppressed her doubts and curiosity, looked around at the desolate scenery, and then voiced her questions.

Unlike when they came, there are now more people returning to Canghai City, but Karen's motorcycle can only carry two people, so it can't take everyone.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Xiuming brought his Alaya consciousness out of the world bubble within his body.

"The Alaya Consciousness awaits your instructions."

Alaya consciousness lowered her head slightly. Although she still had that expressionless look, you could tell from the gentle fluttering of her wings that she was in a good mood.

"Alaya-vijnana, please help us cast a 'flight' spell."

"Flight" magic is a high-level magic. Chen Xiuming has only learned intermediate magic so far and has not yet come into contact with high-level magic.

Alaya consciousness nodded silently, and a flash of brilliant golden light appeared as it raised its hand.

The next second, everyone present found their bodies suddenly becoming lighter, and they even suddenly gained an "instinct".

—The instinct called "flight".

Magic is so amazing; it can do almost anything.

Angelia's face was full of "curiosity" and "novelty," like a child who had a new toy, floating around in the air.

Although Maria was not as "unconventional" as Angela, she did not suppress her curiosity about "flight" and made a brief attempt at flying.

The moonlit embrace's gaze turned towards the Alaya consciousness, as if it were scrutinizing it.

Chen Xiuming reached out and rubbed Alaya consciousness's head as a sign of praise.

"Alaya consciousness, there is one more thing I need to trouble you with."

"It is my honor and duty to share your burdens, Lord Chen Xiuming."

"I need you to develop 'stigmata' that can be implanted into the human body."

Upon hearing this, the Alaya consciousness showed a rare look of doubt.

"The Stigmata Terminal records the Stigmata of all mankind. If you need it, the Alaya Consciousness can access the Stigmata database at any time."

"Not the stigmata recorded in the stigmata terminal."

Although the stigmata in Honkai Impact 3rd and Honkai Gakuen 2 have the same name, they are completely different in nature.

The former is equivalent to a genetic database, while the latter is bound to an individual, something like "genetic information." No matter how many times civilizations reincarnate, each individual possesses a corresponding sacred mark.

Chen Xiuming explained the difference between the two types of sacred marks to Alaya-vijnana, causing Alaya-vijnana to fall into deep thought before looking at Himeko, who had a blank expression on her face.

"Lord Chen Xiuming, the Alaya consciousness requires a drop of blood for analysis."

The Alaya consciousness showed great curiosity about these "sacred marks" that it had never heard of before.

Even without real "stigmata" as a sample, she can deduce all the data from the artificial stigmata implanted by Himeko.

Upon hearing Alaya-vijnana's words, Himeko looked at Chen Xiuming with a puzzled expression, as if asking, "Can this solve the defects of artificial stigmata?"

Chen Xiuming nodded silently, signaling Ji Zi to give Alaya consciousness a drop of blood.

Himeko was skeptical, but ultimately chose to believe Chen Xiuming. She pressed her index finger against the blade of the Honkai Energy Greatsword, cutting a small wound on her fingertip.

The moment the blood overflowed from the wound, it was controlled by the moonlit embrace and drifted towards the Alaya consciousness.

Himeko's blood was enveloped in a faint golden light and floated in the palm of her Alaya consciousness.

"The core materials have been received. The Alaya consciousness will begin its work soon."

Alaya consciousness gazes at Chen Xiuming, waiting for him to send her back to the world bubble.

Chen Xiuming chuckled softly, ruffled Alaya consciousness's head as a reward, and then sent her back into the world bubble within his body.

Chapter 149 Angela: I'm also my brother-in-law's 'partner'

Chen Xiuming's home in Canghai City.

A small house can feel cramped when seven people are squeezed in.

Maria and Angelia were preparing tea and snacks in the kitchen, while under the moonlight, Karen and Himeko sat quietly on the sofa, waiting for Chen Xiuming to speak.

Delta leaned on Chen Xiuming's shoulder, holding her phone and browsing food delivery apps, choosing a late-night snack that suited her taste.

Under the moonlight, Chuyong glanced at Chen Xiuming, then at Delta, who was leaning on his shoulder. She vaguely guessed something from their intimate actions and couldn't help but bite her lip, clutch her skirt, and look somewhat downcast.

Could it be that……

Is she the "other woman"?

Maria and Angela soon came out of the kitchen with the prepared tea and snacks, and placed them on the coffee table one by one.

Chen Xiuming organized his thoughts for a moment, and then began to describe the current state of the world.

Under the moonlight, Karen and Himeko remained silent, patiently listening to Chen Xiuming's story.

After explaining the current state of the world bubble, Chen Xiuming introduced the origins of himself and his companions.

Upon learning that Chen Xiuming and the others came from another world, Kallen and Himeko fell into deep thought during the Moonlit Embrace.

"That, that..."

Under the moonlight, they embraced, hesitant to speak, then mustered their courage and asked, "Xiu Ming, what is your true relationship?"

Judging from the close interactions between Delta, Maria, and Angela and Chen Xiuming, their relationship could not possibly be that of mere neighbors or siblings.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Xiuming decided not to hide the relationships between the group.

“Maria and Angelia are my sisters-in-law, as for Delta…”

When asked about his relationship with Delta, Chen Xiuming fell into thought before carefully choosing his words and saying, "I would say we are 'partners'."

These words struck Yuexia Chuyong like a bolt from the blue, leaving her feeling utterly powerless. She slumped onto the sofa, her crimson eyes dimming slightly.

Himeko keenly noticed the "blind spot" in Chen Xiuming's words and asked in confusion, "Then Delta is Maria and Angelia's older sister?"

No, that's not it.

Angela responded first, "My brother-in-law has more than one partner. Even my sister Maria and I can be considered his 'partners'."

"Wait—let me think about it."

Angelia's words contained so much information that Himeko felt a bit confused.

Not only her, but Karen felt the same way.

In contrast, Yuexia Chuyong's attention was entirely focused on "having more than one partner," and she stared at Chen Xiuming with bright eyes, as if her hope had been rekindled.

This time, she no longer concealed her affection and love for Chen Xiuming; her burning gaze seemed to want to "melt" him.

Chen Xiuming's previous actions were like a ray of light piercing through her lonely and dark life. Not to mention that Chen Xiuming also helped her solve her physical defect, making her fall deeply in love with him.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have recently referred to Ji Zi, who confessed her feelings to Chen Xiuming, as a "cat that steals fish."

"So far, only my sister Angelia and I are my brother-in-law's legally wedded wives."

Maria quietly added a sentence.

After finally managing to sort out their thoughts, Himeko and Kallen looked at each other in silence.

"so……"

Himeko seemed to be deep in thought. "Your wife was Maria and Angelia's older sister, and your partners were Maria, Angelia, and Delta?"

"Well……"

Angelia frowned, counting on her fingers, "Besides me, Maria, and Delta, there's also Freya and the headmistress. Brolo and Kira also seem to have feelings for my brother-in-law..."

Angelia could recount in detail the stories of every girl who had feelings for Chen Xiuming.
