Didn't you go to Teyvat to earn money to support me?

Shen Liang's forehead twitched. He put his arm around his sister's waist, gave the guests around them a kind and obedient smile, then pushed Anna into the bedroom and slammed the door shut.

The suites at the Alps Hotel are all quite nice, and this one is a two-bedroom presidential suite prepared for newlyweds. The living room is incredibly spacious, with crystal chandeliers casting soft light across the floor, and a large terrace outside the floor-to-ceiling windows facing the sea at the foot of the Alps.

Anna lay on the soft fabric sofa, hugging a sofa pillow, and wobbled as she rolled over.

"You're officiating at the wedding at three o'clock, and you're already this drunk." Shen Liang sighed. "Can't you even use Honkai Impact 3 to sober up?"

"Honkai energy can cure hangovers... that's something Valkyries who hone their bodies are good at, I train my superpowers..." Anna hugged her pillow, sitting on the sofa in a daze, then looked at the boy in front of her and suddenly laughed.

"why are you laughing."

"I laugh... Pandora... you big idiot."

Shen Liang remained silent for a while, then activated his Transformation Sea Moon technique, before Anna grabbed his hand.

Anna stared at him with hazy pink eyes, "I don't want to wake up this way... I don't want to."

He wasn't stupid, so he could only smile.

Then, I opened the light screen, took out some ginger, rock sugar, and dried tangerine peel, boiled them in boiling water for a while, and in less than five minutes, a bowl of hot ginger soup was ready.

Shen Liang helped the girl, who was wearing an off-the-shoulder dress that resembled a wedding gown, and scooped up a spoonful of food to feed her.

"Hot," Anna replied vaguely.

Shen Liang blew on the cool air, and Anna leaned against him, sipping the warm soup in small sips.

"tasty?"

"It's delicious," Anna whispered. "Pandora seems very skilled at it. Does she often cook for the Second Miss in Japan?"

Shen Liang pinched her small, cute cheek in an annoyed tone, making her open her mouth into an "o" shape, and then poured another spoonful of water into her mouth. "Please, I have four younger sisters. Don't I know how to take care of people?"

“It must be so wonderful to be Pandora’s sister…” Anna smiled silently. “It’s a pity I’m already the older sister.”

She suddenly kicked off her strappy high heels, draped her right leg, clad in white stockings, and her left leg, plain and white, over Shen Liang's legs, leaning back against the sofa armrest. With a pleading tone, a mixture of forced courage due to drunkenness and lingering fear, she whispered...

"Pandora, I'm so tired from dancing, my legs are so sore, could you... could you give me a massage?"

After she finished speaking, she immediately and cautiously observed Shen Liang's expression, afraid that such "overstepping" would anger him.

But Shen Liang laughed instead.

"Why this tone?" Shen Liang asked.

"Eh……?"

"Why say such seductive things in this tone?" Shen Liang repeated.

Anna's blurry vision was filled with inexplicable confusion.

"If it were my senior sister, she would simply put her leg on my knee and say with a grin, 'Junior brother, I'll give you a chance to take advantage of your senior sister. You must be tired after exercising, so give me a foot massage. Yes, yes, right there, go for my kidney reflex zone!'"

"But if it were Sister Sirin, she would arrogantly kick me and say, 'Human, I'm tired,' and then wait for me to understand and make her obedient. If I don't understand the young lady's wishes, she'll probably kick me until I'm willing to fight back... That's just her temper."

Shen Liang placed his hand on the slender, long legs of the ice-type little princess, which were encased in white lace stockings, and gently massaged her tiny feet. He chuckled softly, "But Sister Anna, why..."

"So pitiful?"

The soft, delicate touch of white silk, the beauty and innocence of the young girl and her pure white dress—at this moment, nothing was as striking as the surprise and timidity in Anna's eyes.

"Because..." Anna didn't know what to say. Her legs were being gently stroked and pressed by the boy, and her thoughts were a little muddled.

“It’s because you’re too kind, Anna.” Shen Liang sighed. “The girls in the Shaniat family are all kind, but they all know how to refuse. You don’t, you can’t learn… If a person wants to live according to their own ideas, they either have to learn to refuse, or they have to have a lot of relatives and friends as a support, as the confidence that others dare not scheme against or bully.”

Anna looked at him with obedient eyes, letting him play with her as he pleased, and the extent of his play became increasingly excessive.

"Sister Anna, Kiana has a mother, a sister, and many friends. You ask me where you fall short of Kiana? Your shortcoming is... right here." Shen Liang said softly, "If something happens to Kiana, how many people would go to great lengths for her? And you? If you don't have the heart to refuse, you can't even control your own marriage... An A-rank Valkyrie, a favored daughter of heaven, but look at yourself... do you deserve it?"

“Rejecting others… is a bad thing,” Anna whispered.

Shen Liang looked at the frail Anna and felt a surge of anger for no apparent reason.

"I thought you had already chosen how to refuse and how to resist, but in the end you just followed Kiana's plan. What about yourself?" Shen Liang said coldly, even grabbing her thigh and pulling hard. "Can't learn to refuse? Don't know how to resist Night Owl? Then try resisting me first. Does it hurt? You don't even dare to refuse or reprimand me, or your own brother! Even if I help you this time, how many more times can I help you in the future?"

Lamenting its misfortune, anger is indisputable.

Anna is a very good girl, but that's what Shen Liang can't accept.

Those who help themselves will be saved by Heaven. But if one is unwilling to think of a way or make an effort, even the best character will only be bullied more easily.

“But I…don’t want to rebel against Pandora.” Anna looked into his eyes, tears streaming down her face.

As Shen Liang viciously pinned her to the sofa, even scratching her until she was bruised, she sobbed but also revealed a triumphant smile.

“Pandora, Anna isn’t as bad as she seems… Anna… made an effort, she fought back… Anna’s plan is right here…”

P.S.: Anna never learned to resist, and as the author, I was powerless to change that, so I could only...

Chapter 226 Pandora's Treasures

"May you all obey the Bible, honor your elders, and love your neighbors throughout your lives; so that you may be blessed a hundredfold in this world and receive great rewards in the future!"

May the fire of your sincere love, like the rising sun, grow ever brighter; may no waters quench it, nor floods drown it!

"Hallelujah, in the name of the Lord, I bless you both. From this day forward, may you follow the Lord's teachings throughout your lives, build a happy family, love one another, share joys and sorrows, exude the fragrance of saints, and receive the praise of all."

“Miss Anna Shaniat, Mr. Chen Tianwu, are you willing to follow God’s will, seek the guidance and help of the Holy Spirit according to the Gospel of the Lord, and build a family that is guided by destiny?”

Angela, dressed as a prayer priest, nervously read her address.

This is an essential part of the Valkyrie engagement ceremony, and the Shaniat family is a religious family; any girl they choose could become a priest.

But at this moment, Angelia looked up with considerable worry, because there was only one person on the wide stage in front of her.

“I do,” Night Owl said calmly.

He then nodded, and facing the guests, his tone unchanged, "I'll go find Anna; she might have overslept."

He left without any fanfare, taking the elevator away.

Kiana, on the other hand, was so frightened that she turned pale.

How could this be!

—Knowing about her secret relationship with Anna, how could this man still say "I do"?!

—Has he gone mad? Doesn't he care at all that his feelings for her are just one-sided?

—Didn't he ever consider that he was the third party in the relationship?

Kiana immediately called Anna. The plan had changed. It seemed that these underhanded tactics were no longer effective. Night Owl didn't care about breaking off relations. Anna now had no choice but to refuse her face-to-face.

Even if it directly causes the two major organizations, World Serpent and the Shaniat family, to lose face, they don't care!

--------

On the other side, the owl and the raven are going up the elevator.

The owl remained expressionless, while the raven sighed.

“They’ve already rejected you to this extent; your marriage is a failure.” Raven checked the elevator for recording devices, then whispered, “Do you really think this engagement can go on?”

“I don’t believe it,” Night Owl said coldly.

"Don't believe what? Don't you believe whether they're actually lesbians or not?" Raven said angrily. "Night Owl, your stubbornness has already ruined our plans. Regardless of whether they're really lovers or not, their attitude proves they don't like you! They're not going to marry you!"

"Shut up!" Night Owl shouted. "Don't use your filthy thoughts to speculate about Anna. Anna isn't like that. This is Miss Shaniat's misleading information! She likes women and just wanted to use this method to dissuade me. If you fall for her trick, she will really succeed!"

The ravens were speechless.

She felt that Night Owl had gone mad.

But after a moment's thought, she instantly realized that Night Owl only had this one option.

If this engagement falls through, it won't just be Night Owl's problem, it'll be Anna's problem too! No matter what Anna thinks, he has to make her accept the engagement and leave with him! Otherwise, given World Serpent's forceful methods, he might not be able to protect Anna anymore.

More important than whether Anna is a girl or not is taking her away! Even if it goes against her will, he will take her away!

In order to peacefully take Anna away, this engagement ceremony must be completed!

At 14:42, Angela anxiously awaited the arrival of the newlyweds.

At 14:45, Owl and Raven watched the elevator display show that it had gone up to the second floor.

At 14:46, Maria sat quietly on the second-floor balcony, watching the engagement ceremony unfold, and poured herself a strong cocktail.

Then, time is rewound.

--------

13:15, Bedroom.

Shen Liang was stunned.

“Anna is not… a weak person who cannot say no,” she said softly. “Anna’s plan is right here.”

As ice rose, the room temperature dropped rapidly to near zero. Before Shen Liang could react, he felt a thin layer of frost forming on his body.

The ice rose up along Shen Liang and Anna's ankles, locking their feet to the sofa. The crystalline ice formed beautiful shackles, preventing either of them from escaping.

“Finally,” Anna said softly, “we’ve caught Pandora.”

In an instant, Shen Liang understood what her plan was.

His pupils dilated.
