After being reborn, I was turned into a slave girl by a princess.

However, Elusia did not expect...

A pink-haired girl suddenly rushed to his side.

"Master Elusia!!!"

"Aha?"

Little Elusia thought she had misheard, because Zhou Suling never joked around... She was a very cute and innocent girl who wouldn't do anything lewd.

But now, she knelt before him, saying expectantly, "Lady Elusia, please whip me. >_<"

"Su Ling?"

This startled Elusia, who took a step back.

Ultimately, Elusia's "tyranny" is only directed at Lonnies and the enemy; she would never do anything excessive to her own kind.

"Suling, what happened? Did you do something wrong, so you're trying to imitate Lonnies..."

"No, no! Su Ling really hopes to be bullied by Miss Elusia! (Serious face)"

"Uh?"

"Only in this way can Su-ling become the real Su-ling and open the door to a new era."

The pink-haired girl showed an eager expression, but this eagerness didn't seem like a plea for whipping; it looked more like she wanted to whip Elusia herself.

And then... Bai Ye ran over too.

The white-haired girl said as she ran:

"Sister Elusia, please don't bully Su Ling!"

"White coconut..."

"If you want to bully someone, go ahead and bully me. That kind of thing is something Bai Ye should have taken responsibility for!"

Although Bai Ye appeared very earnest, Su Ling was displeased: "Wow, why is Bai Ye trying to stop us?"

"Of course we have to stop it, because as a doll, Baiye should be protecting humans. This is something that Baiye should be responsible for."

"But don't white coconuts feel no pain?"

"That's right, isn't it? So, if we're being tormented, everyone should feel much more at ease, right? Otherwise, we'd all feel sorry for Su-ling if she suffered."

"That's not right either. Even if Baiye isn't in pain, we'll still be worried!"

……

Bai Ye and Zhou Suling argued back and forth, almost as if they were trying to save the world and someone had to be sacrificed... They were earnest and kind, and the girls' hearts were filled with the awareness to give everything.

but……

"Wait, wait a minute, what are you talking about?"

"Elcia?"

"I'm not some world-destroying demon! Tell me what happened before you say that!"

Completely bewildered, Elusia shouted at her companions.

Afterwards, Elusia, holding Su Ling's hand with her left hand and Bai Ye's hand with her right, with a little fox following behind... finally managed to figure things out in the living room.

It turned out that after the eight-tailed fox said those words, the two little guys seemed to be greatly encouraged and wanted to improve their strength.

After all, even the soft and gentle Lonnie underwent such rigorous special training.

As partners, they naturally need to work hard so that they can protect their partners when fate comes.

……

"Yes, that's right. So I'm going to ask Elusia to whip me so I can be promoted to the ultimate Zhou Suling."

"Baiye also... because her power was suppressed before, Baiye felt that... being a puppet had limitations. If she stopped being a puppet and could feel pain and enjoy being tortured, wouldn't she be able to unleash new power to defeat her enemies?"

Objectively speaking, the girls' resolve is reasonable, since being whipped by Elcia might actually enhance their abilities.

But, but!

Just taking care of a little fox already took all of Elusia's energy, let alone facing Zhou Suling and Bai Ye?

There's no way she would put on a stern face and pretend to be arrogant to bully her companion.

and so……

“We’ll talk about this later… Also, Eight-Tailed Fox, you’re not allowed to instill such strange ideas in everyone anymore.”

The little girl gave a cold snort and looked at the instigator of this incident, the big-breasted fox goddess.

But what about this big fox?

She looked quite aggrieved, and feigned a sob, saying pitifully:

"I'm doing this... for everyone's benefit. I've already shared all my understanding of the Otherworld with you."

"That's true, but it's also very strange. And while pain can be converted into pleasure to some extent, this ability can't be acquired through training, can it?"

"Huh, is that so?"

Su Ling blinked and asked curiously.

"That's right, although Lonnie is a bit silly, her masochistic tendencies are truly rare. She's born to be bullied and have her tail patted~~"

After saying that, Elusia symbolically touched Lonnies's little ears, and the little fox also squinted her eyes in agreement, looking like she was enjoying it.

But at that very moment...

Su Ling suddenly realized and exclaimed, "Wow, I understand now! I finally understand what my sister meant!"

"What you said...?"

"Hmm, my sister always tells me that scolding is a sign of affection. And the way Elusia bullies Lonnies so much must be because she really, really likes her, right?"

"???"

"So, every time Elcia curses Lonnies, it's actually like saying 'I love you'? And every time she activates the little toy, it's like saying 'I want to protect you'?"

"..."

"Huh, Elusia, what's wrong... Did I say something wrong...?"

"Su Ling, it's alright. I have some things to take care of, so I'll be leaving now."

Elusia left without a word.

Because she suddenly discovered...

The beautiful girls on the ship are all quite formidable.

Maintaining the image of a sadistic, scheming, and beautiful girl is really not easy at all!

Chapter 38 Breaking Through the Ice

And that's how things ended up.

Over the next three days, the time-traveling ship piloted by the girls did not head directly to the ruined city, but instead conducted a series of explorations in the vicinity, collecting sufficient geological and botanical information.

After this incident, the atmosphere on the ship became much more lively. Even Luo Zhisheng was no longer wary of the White-tailed Fox, but seemed to have understood something, opening the door to a new world.

As usual, Elusia bullied the little fox, using all sorts of tricks and contraptions to improve Lonnie's reaction speed and combat skills.

And just when everything was proceeding smoothly...

Something that no one expected happened.

……

……

"What is that?"

Luo Zhisheng looked at the group of dark figures at the far end of the screen with a puzzled expression.

They hide in the darkness. Although their bodies are only 2 meters long, their enormous wings are a full 6 meters long.

Although it was too far away to see clearly, there was no doubt that the visitors were up to no good.

Are they monsters from the underworld?

Or perhaps it was a force sent by the Demon Lord of Deceit?

Just as Luo Zhisheng was about to call for help, she was stunned by the appearance of the monster as it approached.

"How is this possible? There could be such a monster."

Luo Zhisheng's fingers trembled uncontrollably, because these monsters were none other than insects she was very familiar with—mosquitoes!

However, compared to ordinary mosquitoes, this swarm was significantly larger. Luo Zhisheng quickly called out:

"There's an enemy attack! Giant mosquitoes!"

A moment later, everyone gathered in the driver's seat.

Upon seeing the mosquitoes outside the window, Yi Cheng shook her head and said to everyone, "Everyone, we'd better keep our distance, because those aren't ordinary mosquitoes."

"Oh?"

"Yes, ordinary mosquitoes suck blood to strengthen themselves. But this mosquito can absorb heat from other things through contact."

"what?"

"Neither metal nor the human body can be spared. Perhaps this is a combat weapon created using the Frost Abyss?"

Yi Cheng's words sent a chill down the spines of the girls.

Absorbing heat and stuff... that's just too terrifying, isn't it?

Even the Time Traveler's seemingly indestructible armor would crumble instantly in the face of the Frozen Mosquitoes.

Fortunately, Yicheng gave a warning in advance; otherwise, if we had waited until the mosquitoes were close before hastily engaging them, we would have suffered a great loss.
