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

That was the darkness that the entire Shaniat family had painstakingly buried.

What a humiliation!

—Think about it again, what are you fighting for? You're fighting for Pandora, but who is he fighting for by subjecting you to such humiliation here?

—Anna! Hahahaha!

—He's not your loyal servant! He's only working so hard for Anna; he doesn't care about his queen at all! In his heart, his girlfriend is far more important than his master!

—No, no, no, did he really treat you as his master, as his queen? You know the answer in your heart, don't you!

—Why bother trying so hard! Kill her, kill Li Sushang first, then wait for him to return and kill him too! The Queen of the Sky's dignity cannot be violated; you can fight your way up to Munich! Kill Anna as well!

—That way you can save Cecilia directly, right? You're also afraid that Cecilia will get hurt while saving Anna, aren't you? She's our mother, and she's the only one who can't be harmed, right? If you kill everyone, she won't sacrifice herself for anyone else. She can only love us, not everyone else.

Suddenly, Xilin said, "Shut up."

The dark voice abruptly shut its mouth; it had no right to confront Sirin. When Sirin was lucid, it could only hide in the deepest recesses of people's hearts.

She just didn't understand why Xilin had suddenly woken up.

“Cecilia is a foolish woman who loves everyone. But saving her is simply impossible,” Sirin replied coldly. “Kill Anna? Kill everyone? Even if I did, so what? Cecilia wouldn’t love me like that. She would just kill me with her own hands, crying as she kills you and me together. That would only make her suffer more. There’s no way to save her. Stop dreaming.”

The dark voice fell silent.

"Besides, even if I get caught, so what? Who dares to kill me?" Sirin exhaled deeply. "At worst, I'll just hand it all over to Pandora. She's his wife, not mine. You think you can make me angry with that? What, am I good at pretending?"

Chapter 55 My Wife is a Sheep

The dark and malicious voice finally fell silent, and Xilin continued to deal with Li Sushang's pursuit, silently counting in her mind.

"Nine minutes, fifty-two seconds."

The last bit of Honkai energy in my body is about to be exhausted.

"Fifty-five seconds."

I can open another wormhole, this time at the bottom, so I can fall right in and save myself the time of adjusting my position.

"Fifty-nine seconds."

This time, the wormhole opened exceptionally close, with a straight jump distance of less than 100 meters. In the instant the scenery changed, Li Sushang's celadon-colored skirt surged out like an eagle swooping down on its prey, and the petite S-class Valkyrie's hands, like claws, were already reaching out to grab her.

She knew there was no other way. After all, Li Sushang had seen her exhaustion clearly, so she had made thorough preparations for this final space jump in the tenth minute.

But Celine also gave up resisting.

"Ten minutes have passed." She was secretly pleased with herself. She had finally kept her promise. Now, even if she was arrested, it would be Shen Liang who would lose face.

If she said ten minutes, she meant exactly ten minutes. In any case, the little queen would never lose face in front of her servants.

Li Sushang's expression was icy. She couldn't believe she'd been outmaneuvered for a full ten minutes by a Valkyrie far inferior to herself. The Schariac family's current top genius truly lived up to his name! But the cat-and-mouse game had to end. She'd deal with this first, then wait for Shen Liang to appear and take him away—she hadn't expected her junior brother to activate his ability without even using Honkai energy. She'd suffered from a lack of information, but she wouldn't let that happen again!

But it's hard to say whether Junior Brother has already slipped away. Although he said he would come back and take Xilin away, why wouldn't he run away if he could? He's probably already sold this girl out!

In a flash, Li Sushang's hands didn't stop. Just as she was about to grab Xilin's shoulder to break her Tianding acupoint and cut off the Honkai energy flow, she suddenly felt a chill between her eyebrows.

A sense of dread, as if being watched by some ferocious beast, crept up Li Sushang's spine. But how could that be? She was a Valkyrie; even if she were stared at by a tiger or lion, she would remain unmoved. Very few things could give her such a dangerous intuition! But Li Sushang decided to trust her intuition. She decisively withdrew her hand and leaped away instantly, but the feeling of being "watched" persisted!

She decided not to run anymore. Instead, she gripped the hilt of the sword with her other hand, ran two fingers along the blade, and shouted sharply, "Guardian Sword - Pure Lotus!"

Using the Ruoshui Sword as a model, six illusory figures rose from behind her: four guarding her body, and two shooting straight towards the source of the danger she sensed! Immediately, the two sword shadows collided with a beam of azure aurora, shattering instantly! The Honkai energy turbulence nearly tore space apart in an instant!

Li Sushang, with lightning-fast reflexes, discovered that the aurora was actually just a wooden arrow! Its material was ordinary, its design simple, and it even had white goose feathers attached. The craftsmanship reminded Li Sushang of the Ming army five hundred years ago. In the clash at this distance, the wooden arrow had long since evaporated, but the key wasn't the arrow itself, but the destructive energy that permeated its shaft!

“S-rank!” Li Sushang was stunned.

There are more experts? Who dares to oppose the Destiny Headquarters on its own territory?!

Just as her attention was temporarily focused on figuring out the identity of the newcomer, countless chilling light arrows shot towards her again from the turbulent flow of Honkai energy that had just splashed out, like a parallel meteor shower!

"A sneak attack!" Li Sushang couldn't help but shout.

Who are these people? They already attacked once, and now they're doing it a second time! They have absolutely no sportsmanship!

Fortunately, she still had four swords left to defend herself. Unable to react in time, she could only circle around to protect herself, deflecting the second wave of arrows. The arrows struck the Pure Lotus Sword Shadow with a metallic clang, putting Li Sushang under pressure akin to facing a volley of rockets fired from a ground-based artillery barrage!

Having finally withstood the entire attack, all six Pure Lotus Sword Shadows were exhausted. She quickly darted over the rooftops of several buildings before turning back warily to look in the direction of the attack.

Only then did she finally see what the uninvited guest looked like.

"The Frost Arrow of the Flowing Sky Archery Technique was not a sneak attack. It is the representative archery technique of the Liyue Divine Era. As the saying goes, 'The jade plate turns silently in the blue sky, and the distant bow locks the sky and the Milky Way is full.' The power of this arrow is that it bursts out like a meteor shower after hitting the target. You were not on guard, so it cannot be considered a sneak attack by me."

"Junior Brother!" The young heroine said through gritted teeth, but her expression faltered slightly.

it is good……

so hot.

A thousand meters above the clouds, a handsome young man with waist-length black hair tied in a high ponytail sat astride an elegant white ram. He squinted one eye, one arm around Sirin sitting in front of him, the other holding an arrow aimed at her brow. His clothes fluttered in the strong wind at high altitude. Li Sushang hadn't seen such a rustic battle in a long time. In this era where Valkyries used guns and cold weapons were often the like, the white horse and light furs made Li Sushang feel a little nostalgic.

He's so handsome.

Li Sushang had always admired chivalrous heroes of the martial arts world since childhood, and longed to be called a young heroine or a female knight-errant. Unfortunately, even after leaving seclusion, she never achieved this. But as the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together; her master probably chose Pandora because she was so perfectly suited to be a young hero, right? This appearance and this carriage—they definitely have the style of our Supreme Freedom Sect!

When the time comes, I'll become a disciple of Master and call you Senior Sister. The two of us will ride this white sheep together, chasing after heroes and causing chaos in the martial world! He'll wear black clothes, and I'll wear a white skirt; we'll be called the Black and White Duo! How does that song Master often plays go again? "Living freely and unrestrained in the mortal world, galloping on horseback, sharing the splendor of life, drinking wine and singing, expressing the joy in our hearts, a magnificent and passionate tale..."

No, no!

Li Sushang quickly shook her head. She couldn't keep swooning over her junior brother; they were fighting right now! No matter how much of a young hero he was, he was eyeing her. Her identity now was the Great Demoness of the Martial World! Her first priority was to take down that scoundrel!

However, she couldn't suppress her doubts and asked loudly, arms crossed, "Where did you ride that... what kind of mount is that?"

At first, Li Sushang did think it was a large white sheep, but after all, sheep shouldn't be able to fly. So after looking at it a few more times, she suddenly realized that although the white sheep was pure white, it was surrounded by five colors. Its head was like a sheep, its fur was like fire, its hooves were like a wolf, and its tail was like a cloud. It didn't look like a normal animal at all.

It looks like a mythical beast that stepped out of the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

Shen Liang simply touched the white sheep's neck. The sheep seemed shy, but it didn't refuse. Instead, it mustered up its courage and gently rubbed against his face.

"Hey! Speak!"

“It’s not a mount, it’s mine…” Shen Liang paused for a moment. It felt a little strange to say that a sheep was “my wife” or “my girlfriend”, especially with Li Sushang and Xilin watching. But saying “my friend” would disappoint Gan Yu.

Chapter Fifty-Six: You are the apple of Shaniat's eye!

However, Gan Yu was incredibly clever and immediately noticed Shen Liang's embarrassment. She spoke softly, "No, a Qilin will never regret choosing its master. Youjun is indeed Gan Yu's master."

"That's a Qilin?" Li Sushang was stunned. "A talking sheep? No, no, no, that's not the problem. This is an urban fantasy world, right? A Qilin doesn't fit the style of our world. How did it suddenly turn into a fantasy world!"

Exhausted, Xilin was slightly stunned. She was leaning against Shen Liang's chest, being held in his arms with one hand. But at this moment, Xilin didn't feel much shyness being held by a boy; her attention was entirely on this Qilin.

"You abandoned me just to go find your pet?"

"A pet is too... you might as well call it a mount." Shen Liang said helplessly.

“Gan Yu…is indeed Youjun’s pet.” The long-haired white sheep said softly, “It’s alright, Youjun will remember sooner or later.”

Xilin stared at Shen Liang strangely.

Shen Liang scratched his head.

"Tell me the truth, will this... Qilin of yours turn into a beautiful girl?" Sirin's eyes were cold.

Why would you ask such a question?

"Never mind that, just consider this me asking on behalf of Kiana." Xilin turned over and sat facing Shen Liang, making it easier for her to glare at him fiercely. "I always feel there's something wrong between you two. If this... Gan Yu turns into a girl, then this queen will be extremely disappointed in you, utterly disappointed. You scumbag, lecher, and stupid servant who can't control his desires."

"..."

“But if she doesn’t turn into a girl, she’ll just be a sheep.” Sirin’s voice trembled slightly as she subconsciously gripped the edge of her stockings. “Then I’m sorry, I have to consider keeping Kiana away from you. The Shaniat family is ultimately a rather conservative religious family, and in their doctrine, such behavior is a sure way to go to hell. We simply cannot accept it, not even if it’s a talking sheep!”

Shen Liang was rarely forced into a corner. He opened his mouth for a long time, but still didn't know how to defend himself.

"Is this Miss Xilin your lover from this world?" Gan Yu asked gently.

“Of course not! He’s just my foolish servant!” Sirin replied decisively.

"So you're the master's master?"

Xilin found these words quite pleasing, and then gave a perfunctory "hmm."

"Master's master, she is truly a beauty of unparalleled grace." Gan Yu chuckled. "Youjun's aesthetic sense remains as discerning as ever."

“Hmph, of course! The members of our Shaniat family are all famous for their good looks!” Sirin raised her chin. “Even your master, Pandora, is one of us Shaniat. If she hadn’t been destined to join our family, she probably wouldn’t be so beautiful.”

The cause and effect have been reversed!

"Miss Xilin is truly a genius; she even foresaw Youjun's involvement."

No, where is the genius? Sister Gan Yu, don't you have any logic or shame in your skillful flattery?

"That's why I named him Pandora. You might not know this, but I guessed from the start that he would cause bloodshed on the supernatural side. The name Pandora comes from a very beautiful woman in history who unleashed the dark desires of countless people. See, isn't it perfect for him?"

"It is indeed very suitable. Miss Xilin is not only beautiful, but also very knowledgeable."

Xilin was overjoyed and quickly forgot about the question she had asked earlier. She stroked the white sheep's wool with even more happiness than Shen Liang.

[Young Lord, isn't Gan Yu amazing?]

In the consciousness communication, the little Qilin began to boast with a smile.

[It's mainly because Sister Xilin is easier to fool.]

[Then Gan Yu will now return to human form.] The little Qilin kicked up its heels.
