Skadi, returning to infinity

Page 269

It was a rare opportunity for Chen Qiuxu to discuss this topic with Skadi, so she wanted to know more.

"Don't worry, I will find a place with a lake and establish our living area on the mainland."

"If you can't find one, just find a mountain, a valley, or a flat area, and create a lake artificially."

"Besides... there are probably less than ten Deep Sea Hunters left now."

"It doesn't require much living space."

What was Skadi implying with those words? Titi felt a surge of joy; she already knew what Skadi meant.

"Some responsibilities, once taken on, are not so easy to let go of."

"But I believe you can do it..."

"Besides, what you are doing is sacrificing yourselves for this land, which is not fair to you."

Chen Qiuxu nodded. Wasn't it good that Skadi had such awareness?

"Is it fair? There's no such thing as fair or unfair."

Skadi, however, has her own perspective on this.

"Deepsea hunters were born out of this mission, although with the sinking of Agor, it's not necessarily the case that we can continue doing so..."

"It really was worth it..."

At this point, Skadi seemed unwilling to continue.

She changed the subject immediately: "Alright, Qiuxu, go pack your things. You'll be back for at least two days this time, so make sure you bring a change of clothes."

"Hmm." Chen Qiuxu wisely refrained from saying anything more. She simply agreed and then opened the door and left.

"Can we really end the fate of the deep-sea hunters?"

After Mrs. Chen left, Titi suddenly asked a question.

"Yes, I will." Skadi nodded firmly, her attitude very serious.

"Ah."

Although it wasn't the first time she'd heard her promise, Titi wanted to hear it again.

Not just this time, but she wants to hear it every time it's brought up again.

Because every time she heard Skadi say that, she felt a great sense of peace.

No longer needing to worry about the situations I'll face, nor fearing the possibility of things spiraling out of control...

"By the way, Titi, you need to stay home and take good care of yourself while I'm away in Yan."

"If you're really bored, I'll arrange something for you to do, how about that?"

Skadi knew that during this time, in order to protect her, Titi had basically stayed in the villa and hadn't left the house.

This is not a good thing for her, since Titi is, after all, a "predator" because she has been fighting against some kind of being in the deep sea for many years.

She has a negative buff called "Blood Thirst" in her body.

This situation requires her to fight and hunt down enemies regularly in order to alleviate it.

This can also be described as a "sequela," a trauma to the soul left behind by years of fighting enemies in the deep sea.

Skadi can be repaired, but that will take quite some time.

Over the past year, half of the work has been completed, and the remaining half will take another six months.

During this time, Titi needs to be sent out on some hunting missions to alleviate her inner thirst for blood and prevent her from being consumed by murderous urges and controlling herself.

To do some dangerous things.

"Hmm? Don't worry about me, I can control my desires."

Titi shook her head. She knew what Skadi meant, and that was precisely why she wanted to explain.

"The aftereffects of constantly fighting with creatures in the deep sea are not that serious."

Her eyes were clear, and she didn't seem to be deceiving Skadi.

"I believe you."

Skadi reached out and ruffled her hair, replying softly.

However, Anna, who was in her arms, looked at Titi with some displeasure.

Although this woman looked just like her mother, she could tell them apart very easily in her eyes.

"Anna, why are you so hostile towards Titi?"

Skadi looked down at the little girl in her arms, feeling both amused and exasperated.

Even without consciously trying to sense the girl's emotions, she could tell from her eyes and the way she was gripping her collar tightly that she was very fond of Titi.

dissatisfied.

“She wants to take Mom away, I don’t like that.”

Skadi was speechless at this answer; she simply looked at Titi apologetically.

"Your mom will sleep with her after this, and if you want to sleep with her too, you'll just have to accept that."

In order to prevent Anna from developing hostility towards Titi again, Skadi began to explain to her.

"No, she's trying to take Anna's mother away, we won't give her up."

Anna's eyes remained fixed on Titi, and the rejection she felt was quite obvious.

"Mom won't like Anna like this."

Skadi rubbed her forehead, feeling a bit of a headache. She really hadn't expected this girl to have such a strong possessive streak.

"No, no one can take Mom away from Anna."

She opened her small mouth, revealing a set of sharp teeth.

This is the most unusual feature of her body; her teeth are as sharp as a shark's.

"Anna." Skadi gently patted her head, using her energy to soothe her emotions. Her soft words calmed Anna down.

"No... I just don't want to."

With her lips pursed, Anna simply couldn't accept Skadi's explanation.

"Okay, okay, I know you don't want to lose your mom, so be a good girl and listen to me, okay?"

"Mom won't let anyone take me away, but Anna has to be okay too."

Skadi pinched her cheek and could only say such things to comfort her.

"Hmph, Mom is Anna's mom."

"And what about me?"

Upon hearing this, Ali, who was carrying a fruit platter, suddenly smiled and asked a question.

"Ali's mom..." Anna let go of Skadi's hand, jumped off the bed, ran to Ali's feet, and hugged her leg.

This made Titi pout as well. She looked at Skadi, then at Ali, and finally her gaze fell on Anna.

"Take it slow, the child is still young, he can be properly educated."

The reason why Ali is so close to Anna is simple: she was "hatched" with her and took care of her before she even transformed.

For Anna, Ali is like another mother to her, so she naturally feels close to her.

"I should pay more attention to this kind of thing in the future."

Titi was also a little annoyed. She should have gone with Skadi and the others to take care of little Anna earlier.

She originally thought it was Skadi's "pet" and that she could take care of it herself.

I never expected Anna to transform into a little girl, and such an adorable one at that.

This made her hesitate about her previous neglect, and she could only sigh slightly.

"You don't need to force yourself to do things that make you unhappy."

Skadi reached out and patted her head, soothingly patting her back.

"By the way, Ali, how did the news about the dragon attack from the Tower of Babel get back?"

Skadi acted impulsively and was about to reveal her awakening.

This made her quite worried that the people over there might actually find out, so she took advantage of Ali finishing those things to find out the reason.

"It's nothing. They just think that Miss Themis resolved the crisis."

"So your existence hasn't been exposed yet, don't worry."

Ali placed the fruit from the fruit bowl onto the fruit basket on the bedside table, while some of the already cut fruit remained in the fruit bowl and were placed on the other side of the table.

On the open table.

"Anna wants this~" After tidying up the things, Ali wiped her hands and then bent down to naturally pick up Anna.

Anna, held in her arms, immediately spotted the lychee, pointed at it, and said she wanted to eat it.

Here, take it.

Sitting in the chair, Ali picked up a lychee and began to peel it.

Then she fed Anna the snow-white flesh, urging her to eat it.

"Thank you, Ali's mom~" she said sweetly.

She was so polite and clingy, a stark contrast to her earlier rejection of Titi.

This made Titi even more unhappy and envious. She looked at Skadi and said in a very soft voice.

"Come and have a baby with me..."

"Huh?" Skadi thought she had misheard, and she frowned in surprise.

"I want to have a child with my sweetheart~"
