I am on the Ark, a succubus, pure and innocent.

Definitely not!

While keeping Liz and Bai Yue at a distance to prevent them from hugging, Shining asked, "So what do we do next? Where do we go?"

Bai Yue stopped teasing Liz and stroked her chin: "Hmm... let's find a place to stay first. We can't be homeless with a child. Luckily, I have a property in Lentinium. Let's go take a look."

Shining watched his blinking eyelids and reluctantly accepted the word 'child.' Sigh, she'd just have to accept it for Liz's sake. But... was she really going to be playing husband and wife with such a young child?

Oh my god, if Nearl found out about this... her warhammer would probably hurt a lot...

......

North of Lentinium, Hamsday Community.

As a renowned affluent community, it possesses a rustic charm that contrasts with the industrial style of other parts of Lentinium, featuring green parks and old-fashioned houses.

Although it's in the city, it feels like living in a small town; even the dark clouds that usually hang over Lentinium seem much lighter.

In a mansion hidden in the woods.

Shining lulled the exhausted Liz to sleep, then gently closed the door behind her. Stepping silently onto the heavy carpet, ignoring the valuable sculptures and paintings along the way, she headed towards the main hall.

Bai Yue sat by the floor-to-ceiling window, asking without turning her head, "Is Liz asleep?"

"Ah."

Shining walked to the chair opposite him, looked at the foggy view outside the window, and suddenly asked, "How did they manage to do that?"

"What?" Bai Yue tilted her head.

Shining pointed out the window, "I can feel that the outside world is almost real. When we were walking outside just now, the way those people spoke was also completely genuine."

"Oh~"

Bai Yue nodded, then said knowingly, "You asked about that?"

"Ah."

Shining's face was full of curiosity.

Bai Yue thought for a moment and explained, "I won't go into my abilities, but as for the site in Londinium, some of the materials used in its construction came from you."

"I?"

Shining frowned in thought, but couldn't figure out the reason, so he asked again:

“But I hadn’t been to Lontinim at the time, and neither had you. Liz knew nothing about it either. Even if the three of us were together, shouldn’t the information be more clearly defined?”

"Um... well."

Bai Yue glanced at the beautiful and tasteful portrait of a wealthy woman from the film hanging on the wall, then smiled mysteriously at Shining: "Don't ask any more questions, it's a secret."

"Ah."

Shining nodded and stopped asking questions. As a former pardoner, she knew that some secrets were best left unexplored, or who knew what she might uncover.

The two quietly gazed at the scenery outside for a while.

Then Shining asked:

When will Liz recover?

After thinking for a moment, Bai Yue couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle mischievously, "It'll be about time when she stops calling you 'Mom'."

"..."

Shining glanced at him, but couldn't bring herself to argue with him on this topic; he was too shameless!

"So, are we going to stay here forever?" Shining changed the subject.

“If we all leave now, Liz’s consciousness will most likely collapse.”

Bai Yue first looked sincere, then said with a smile, "But of course, I'll stay here to maintain the dream, and you can go out to rest. As long as someone is with Liz, that's fine."

"Taking care of Liz is my duty!"

Seeing Bai Yue practically patting his chest in assurance, Shining considered the scenario of leaving him alone with Liz.

Hmm... judging from his indiscriminate acceptance of anyone and Liz's eagerness to get close to him, if I really leave, these 'father and daughter' might be all lovey-dovey the next second, right?

No!

"no!"

Her inner thoughts were simultaneously expressed in her voice; Shining resolutely rejected the suggestion. She hated fathers and daughters the most! Absolutely not!!!

Bai Yue was startled and shrank back into her seat, almost assuming a defensive posture. Her eyes widened as she said:

"If it's not okay, it's not okay. Why are you getting so worked up?"

Shining then realized her lapse in composure, slapped her face, and muttered:

"...I'm sorry, I was rude."

"Oh, that's fine."

Bai Yue didn't give chase. Instead, she kicked off her boots, curled up on the soft chair, yawned, and said in a weak voice, "But I have to remind you, you have to go out for a while."

"Why?" Shining asked, puzzled.

Bai Yue tilted her head: "Don't you need to eat? Let's make this clear first, this dream might last for four or five days in a row. I replenished my energy beforehand, and I also fed Liz life essence. We're both fine."

"But if you're really able to withstand hunger, then disregard what I said."

Shining thought for a moment. Going four or five days without food was no problem for him, and besides, Nearl was outside; if she noticed something was wrong, she'd probably come to his rescue...

He can save himself!

Shining's eyes widened. Oh no, she forgot to tell her about this beforehand. What if she woke her up?

"I need to go out. Lin Guang is still outside. I'll go and explain to her."

"Oh, then you should hurry up and go while Liz is sleeping. By the way, if Nearl wants to come in, just tell her... never mind, just tell Amber and Emerald, they can help."

"Is this ok?"

"of course."

Chapter 135 Dad's Good, Mom's Bad

The first day of Liz's Dream.

Liz woke up in bed to find herself in complete darkness, and she cried.

Mom came over to comfort her.

Dad arrived late, but he brought a small cream cake.

Soft and fragrant, Liz loves it, these cream cakes are delicious!

Liz's parents read fairy tales with her. Liz couldn't understand them, but the fairy tales were very interesting because her parents were with her. However, Liz didn't understand why her parents were so far away.

Why doesn't Mom let Dad hug her?

Daddy looks so good, and smells so good, even better than a cream cake! He smells amazing! Liz wanted to hug him and take a bite, but Mommy wouldn't let her. Mommy's naughty!

I went out for a walk, but it's so dark! Ugh!

Dinner is...meat?

What is meat?

But it's delicious! It's salty, very juicy, and smells wonderful!

I wanted to eat some of the meat on Dad's plate, but Mom wouldn't let me. Mom's so mean!

Oh~, the water is flowing out, it's warm, it's overflowing! And there's the little duck Dad gave me, it's so fun! But Mom won't let me play with it, Mom fished me out of the water, Mom's mean!

go to bed?

What is sleep?

Oh, good boy, go to bed early tonight.

But why can Dad watch TV? And that little black box, waaaah, Liz wants to play with it too! Dad let Liz come over and play with him, but Mom dragged Liz into the house.

Mom is bad!

However, Mom read fairy tales to Liz. Mom is great! But Mom's reading wasn't interesting. Liz wanted to go out and play with Dad, but Mom wouldn't let her. Mom is mean!

Liz wants to wait until her mother goes to sleep before going out to play with her father!

Ugh~, I'm so sleepy, why isn't Mommy asleep yet?

Liz couldn't take it anymore, so she went to sleep!

Hiss~

...

Day two of Liz's Dream.

Hmm, Liz is awake, but who is this red-haired woman? She's so cold, that's strange, what does "cold" mean?

Mom came, and the red-haired sister went out. Mom gave the clothes to Liz, but Liz didn't know how to dress herself. Mom just taught her from the side without helping her dress. Mom is bad!

Phew, all dressed up, Liz is so smart!

Breakfast time. Bread, bacon, ham, soup dumplings? Ouch...it's so hot! But it tastes good. Strange, there are two red-haired women, why aren't they eating? Aren't they hungry?

After I finished eating, my mother told me to rest for a while.

Daddy finished eating, and Liz wanted to play with him! Mommy caught Liz and sat between Liz and Daddy. Two red-haired girls wanted to play with Daddy, and Liz wanted to play too, but Mommy wouldn't let her.

Mom is bad!

The doorbell rang. Strange, what's a doorbell? Oh, that's the sound! Mom led Liz to open the door, and there came the blonde girl! She looked at Liz with a strange expression.

The blonde woman said her name was Margaret Nearl. Strange, what does that mean? A name? I don't understand. Oh, so it's the same as Liz.

Margaret Nearl... Liz sounds familiar, but I can't remember where... I've forgotten.

Oh! The redhead has brought over some snacks!

(Chewing~chewing~) It's delicious, but it's strange, why did the red-haired sister give snacks to Liz and the blonde sister? And this morning, why did she stand next to Dad instead of eating?

Maid?

Oh, they are Daddy's maids.

How strange, why can the maids not eat? Did they already eat in the kitchen?! Ah, Liz wants to eat in the kitchen too! But Mom won't let her, Mom's mean!

The blonde sister is going to teach Liz how to play a game—Daddy's little black box. Oh, it's lit up! There are lots of little figures inside. Oh, they're moving! Hey, KO? What's KO?

die?

What is death? Never to be seen again?

No, no, I don't want to never see Mom and Dad again! And my blonde sister! And two red-haired sisters! And cake, pork chops, soup dumplings, bacon, ham, game console, TV, bed... and so much more, I don't want to never see them again!

The blonde sister knocked me out! The blonde sister is evil!

Dad helped me defeat the blonde girl, Dad!

Mom came over and pulled Dad away. Mom's mean!

The blonde girl is still knocking me out! She's still laughing, she's so mean! Liz can't take it anymore, Liz doesn't want to play anymore, Liz misses her mom... daddy! Daddy, take me to watch TV!

Mom came and took me for a walk. Hello, Mom!

What's with the blonde lady here?!

Ahhh, it's Mom calling!

Mom is bad!

The blonde sister is bad!

In the park, so tired...so thirsty, is Liz going to die? Mom is looking for water, and the blonde sister is looking too, but they didn't bring any. Liz is going to die of thirst! This leaf looks like it has a lot of water.

Mom won't let me eat it, Mom's mean!

Dad's here!

The redhead is here too!

Oh! It's juice and muffins! Dad and the red-haired sister are so amazing, one, two, three, four... nine times more amazing than Mom and the blonde sister!
