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

Gan Yu was knowledgeable in medicine and always carried medicinal powder with her; she was prepared for this.

Logically, such a severe injury should have the scabs and fabric stuck together, and tearing it apart would definitely cause secondary trauma. But there was no other way; only by first tearing it apart, cleaning, applying medicine, and then bandaging it could the wound be prevented from worsening.

But when she peeled off the scab, she only heard Rosalyn gasp slightly. Just as she was about to be gentler, she found that the scab was already dry and was easily peeled off along with her clothes. Upon closer inspection, she saw that only a thin layer had been peeled off; the skin beneath the scab had already healed, except for the deepest cuts, where the skin was still pink.

The bloody and gory scene that was originally imagined has been replaced by complete and fair skin. Similarly, the bright red stigmata shaped like scales still shine brightly on Rosalind's back.

"Doesn't it hurt?" Rosalyn turned her head away, unable to see.

Gan Yu could only take out a mirror, and Rosalin was slightly taken aback when she saw the image in the mirror.

Seemingly remembering something, her expression became somewhat unnatural. She then took out the dagger again from the Eye of God and slid it along her palm, creating a thin wound about five centimeters long.

Blood trickled out, but the edges of the wound shimmered with a faint light, like flowing gold. The color healed the injury, and in just a few seconds, the shallow wound closed up, leaving only a white line. Perhaps in a few more minutes, even this white line would disappear.

Upon seeing the color, both girls knew what it was. They had only ever seen this obvious healing power in Shen Liang before; it was as warm as sunshine.

The Qilin girl looked up and saw that Rosalin's expression was complicated. She quickly thought of what she should say at this moment.

"You see, Liang Jun still cares about you a lot."

No, to speak well of the girl who was just humiliated? Even if you want to salvage your relationship with Shen Liang, you can't say it like this. Liang-jun did something wrong, and you're trying to whitewash it with these words? Absolutely not!

"Perhaps, this is Liang Jun's compensation to you."

No, no, that won't do! Is this something that can be compensated for? Saying that makes it sound like Liang Jun doesn't owe her anything. How could that be? I'm being too insensitive by saying that.

The little Qilin was racking his brains, but couldn't think of anything to comfort Rosalyn.

Finally, she could only look at Rosalyn and sigh deeply. Then Rosalyn sheathed her knife, a self-deprecating smile playing on her lips. "What a possessive and domineering little wolfhound, determined to conquer my memories, my body, even my very bones and blood, refusing to let me escape your mark no matter what. Ha, only beasts behave like that, only little wolves wouldn't allow anything else to touch the flesh they've eaten."

"It's...it's not as scary as it sounds..." Gan Yu said softly, "At least with this, you'll be safer when you're out and about."

“Really? Yes.” Rosalind turned and stepped onto the suspension bridge, leaving the Elemental Academy.

At that moment, Mistelin sighed softly, turned around, and slipped back into Shen Liang's bedroom.

Shen Liang was already dressed. He stood in front of the sink, scooped up a handful of water and splashed it on his face, then looked up at himself in the mirror.

"how's it going?"

“Rosalind didn’t reveal anything about me. Besides, she’ll be withdrawing from school and leaving the palace, getting away from you.” Misterin leaned against the doorframe with her arms crossed. “I’m going to sleep now.”

Do you hate me too?

“Me?” Mistelin raised an eyebrow. “How could that be, baby? Whether you’re a good child or twisted into a vicious monster, it doesn’t matter to me.”

"why?"

"what why?"

"I clearly did some terrible things to you too," Shen Liang said in a low voice. "Compared to Rosalin, I feel even more sorry for you. Sister Yu Tu already has a hard time controlling her body, and I forced you..."

“No, I didn’t force you,” Mistelin smiled. “No, I didn’t force you. You’re a good boy, at least to your sister, you’ll always be a good boy.”

Shen Liang remained silent for a long time before saying, "Sister Yu Tu, I have Eve's memories."

“He’s just a kid. Come on, be honest. You have nothing to feel guilty about in front of me.” Mistelin patted his head with a smile and left the bedroom.

Shen Liang didn't see the moment she turned around, her previously nonchalant expression turned somber, and her voice became barely audible.

"The one who should feel guilty is me."

Back in the living room, Mistelin finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Shen Liang indeed hadn't awakened any memories related to Earth; those memories remained vague, which allowed Mistelin to get away with it. Shen Liang explained her ability to move by saying that her body had temporarily improved, gradually, so there was nothing to be alarmed about.

but……

What she said wasn't entirely false.

The "self" inside the coffin did indeed gradually improve.

Mistelin gently lay down in the coffin, and then the "corpse" opened its eyes and stared calmly at the full-length mirror inside the coffin.

The black lines of Honkai erosion continued to coalesce along with her attributes, but the intense pain lessened, and even the malicious whispers that seemed to be the inducement of the Honkai will, which had been lingering in her ear, became softer.

She stroked her flat, smooth abdomen; inside the coffin, the "corpse's" body was ice-cold. Her fingernail lightly traced the location of the bright red holy mark, and drops of blood oozed out, healing in the blink of an eye.

She was somewhat troubled, yet also smiled genuinely.

She curled up in the coffin and closed her eyes.

In the liquid nitrogen environment, the zombie's body temperature is only icy cold. Perhaps only the gradually absorbed heat within her body makes her feel that she is a person, a woman, a woman who has truly lived once.

"I really love you so much... baby."

Chapter 119 Thunder and Lightning Are Really Jealous

The son of man is incomplete; he is perfect, but he needs to integrate the genes of millions of people to gradually complete himself.

But this is a two-way street.

As he uses his body to screen the genes and bloodlines of others, the gradually perfected Son of Man will also share his imprint. Once the genes are complete, he can also use them on those he has chosen.

Shen Liang's most powerful genetic trait is the "snake molt" inherited from the Möbius gene chain and modified and fused with the genes of countless people.

Mistelin realized that, purely in terms of immortality, this was already "infinite," surpassing even Mebius himself. Fifty thousand years of growth, absorption of two worlds, and the assistance of countless young girls had contributed to the progress of the Child of Man Project.

He himself probably didn't realize that his goal of letting the people around him and the people he loved live together was gradually being realized.

Just like Rosalind's genetic completion, it wasn't just Rosalind who was chosen... The same goes for Misteline.

Shen Liang had no idea that despite all the hardships he had gone through to prepare for Mistelin's revival, she had already discovered the true method of healing.

Compared to cultivating immortality, corpse dissolution, and cryopreservation...

Mistelin felt the aggressive, surging youthful vitality within her body.

The path to salvation lies within it.

The distant castle tower.

Many years ago, on the observation deck at the highest level of the castle tower, nestled in Raiden's embrace, overlooking the magnificent landscape of Inazuma Castle, the supreme empress casually remarked to the little wildcat:

If Liang'er wants to inherit my divine position, her powerful bloodline as a demon god and her obvious talent are already flawless. The only regret is her personality.

Shen Liang never felt that there was anything wrong with his personality.

But Raiden Shin said, "Perhaps it's because you were raised in the deep palace and only interacted with girls, so you've become too soft, like a girl. That's why I had you, Torachiyo, and Kitsune-no-miya teach you, hoping you'll learn to fight and manage relationships, so you can grow into an optimistic and upright man, whether facing the iron and blood of war or the hardships of social situations. Inazuma is a country founded by women, and the whole nation values ​​wabi-sabi elegance; it needs a young emperor who is brave enough to lead the army."

Of course, Raiden was just saying that offhand while holding the baby, and she probably regretted it not long afterward.

Yes, because these expectations didn't work well with Shen Liang... It's not that they had no effect at all, but they went astray, and quite ridiculously so.

Even in the end, she couldn't change Shen Liang's spoiled and willful nature, but he did possess the courage to face any war of iron and blood, and the composure to navigate difficult social situations with ease. However, his composure came in the wrong way. The three best friends she sent to teach Shen Liang—the celestial dog, the fox spirit, and the ghost—seemed to subtly open the door to another world for her Liang'er.

Torachiyo and her friends enjoyed Raiden's complete trust, so Raiden never imagined that under the guise of education, they would mold the "young emperor" she desired into an optimistic, open-minded, and womanizing white-haired loli. He was indeed open-minded, but not because he was open-minded; it was simply because his damned best friends were too open-minded!

As the first rays of dawn pierced the boundless night, the eastern sky was a cool, orange-red hue. A beautiful woman in a black kimono sat quietly on the tatami mats of the observation deck, letting the rising sun bathe her in its warmth.

Of course, my body felt slightly warm, but my heart was ice-cold.

Lei Dian was still on the front lines of the Desolate Sea, so naturally, there weren't many people in the castle tower. The trusted powerful demons had gradually shifted their focus to the Desolate Sea battlefield over the years, and Inazuma Castle hadn't even attended court for half a year. Lei Dian was truly secure in the rear and had no worries; he could simply check the frontline reports and report back to his sister every day.

But she has been sitting here all night, without saying a word until dawn.

Looking at Inazuma, the Supreme One, whose expression was icy cold as she slowly sipped her tea—having drunk fifteen pots of tea in one night—the white fox, her hands bound behind her back, kneeling beside her, had lost all her former elegance and grace, her forehead covered in cold sweat.

Needless to say.

Fox Palace is now aware of the situation. For this empress who remained unfazed even during the invasion of Kanria, her current indifference is already a form of "loss of composure." There are only a handful of things that could truly cause Raiden to lose her composure.

My friend died, my younger sister died, my son died, my wife passed away... and so on.

But it's clear that none of these conditions have been met yet. So the only reason Lei Dian would actually tie her up and make her kneel coldly beside him for a whole night is...

My God! Liang'er, you can't be serious, right?

A wave of bitterness washed over Hu Zhaigong.

"So... um, Zhen, please say something, you're making me so scared."

"You really should be afraid."

Finally, after a night, Raiden Shin finally spoke.

"Seducing the Crown Prince, the Imperial Advisor died a violent death, how pleasing that sounds." She said calmly, "You promised this body that cinnabar is a soul-locking technique, and once it is broken, it can be found anywhere in the world."

Fox Palace's eyelids twitched heavily.

Oh no!

We're all sisters, but Lei Dian always refers to herself as "I" in front of her, only using "this body" in public. This means she's showing no mercy. Is she really that angry? We're doomed!

Fox Palace realized that she had underestimated Shen Liang's extreme importance in Lei Dianzhen's heart. At this moment, Lei Dianzhen had lost her composure and reverted to the temperament of a young girl from more than two thousand years ago! People mature with experience. After having Liang'er, she did become more and more like a mother, and she also showed a "wifely temperament" that was somewhat beyond everyone else among her sisters. However, once Liang'er was out of her control, she panicked and completely lost her confident and composed demeanor!

But if she can't hold back, the Fox Palace will suffer! The method she contributed was the virginity mark, and she miscalculated. This pent-up anger will now be directed at her!

"Real! Real sister, real sister, I... I didn't seduce Liang'er at all! Don't make an unfounded accusation against me! There's nothing I can do if Liang'er meets someone she likes in Liyue, this..."

"If you hadn't been constantly flirting with Ryo'er in Inazuma, cultivating him into someone who would accept anyone, would this have happened?" Raiden Shin said indifferently. "You, you all, dare to say you bear no responsibility?"

Damn it! Don't you know the principle of "the law doesn't punish the masses"? Besides, when you handed Liang'er over to us, you didn't say we couldn't teach her that way. I thought I was the one you chose to be Liang'er's sex teacher and future crown princess! You didn't bring it up then, so you're bringing it up now? Your darling has taken advantage of me and now you're saying I should be hacked to death for seducing the crown prince? That's too tyrannical!
