Collapse Iron: I'm a Succubus in the Universe

She let out a long sigh of relief, the white mist she exhaled dissipating in the wind and snow. The icy wind brushed against her face, calming her down a little.

"Ever since I saw the letter that Mr. Olsen kept, I've had a sliver of hope. It was too willful of me to force you to come with me to such a dangerous place."

Qiong didn't care about any of that. Although Wahe was dead, his persistence had paid off, and people might remember him...

“I remember he was a perpetrator who harmed the innocent, I remember the evil deeds he committed. I know all too well that Wach is unworthy of the title of doctor.”

Natasha said very rationally, but even if they came from the hands of demons, these potions could still benefit future generations.

She plans to take the experimental records and data with her to continue her research, and one day in the future, the most perfect "snow immunity" will be born.

Before leaving, Natasha asked Qiong to help her erect a tombstone in the snow, for no particular reason, just a fleeting thought that crossed her mind.

"That's fine, Qiong. Thank you for helping me put this last worry to rest."

"It's okay, Nata, it's just... how do I explain that to your mother about what happened before?"

Qiong was referring to the incident of impersonating her boyfriend, and a hint of shyness appeared on Natasha's face when the matter was mentioned.

"I didn't think much of it at the time because I saw how happy my mom was... I'm sorry, I'll try my best to make it up to you when we get back."

Natasha did not specify what the compensation would be, but given her personality, it certainly wouldn't be cheap.

However, to everyone's surprise, the snowstorm suddenly intensified on the way back.

As for the reason, we have to mention a snow-capped mountain dozens of kilometers away from Belberg...

This area is not patrolled by Iron Guards and is also a major area affected by the rift's erosion, and Cocolia is currently carrying out cleanup here.

The disaster of Yalilo-VI was caused by the Star Core, so it was quite convenient for Cocolia to use the power of the Star Core to clean it up.

However, occasionally the residual power of the star core in the rift will be triggered, which will cause disasters similar to blizzards.

That's why she chose this location; it would alleviate the pressure on Belloberg's side, and if anything happened during the process, it wouldn't harm the city itself.

The sky was covered by dark clouds, and the sun could not be seen.

"Why did the weather change so quickly? No, Qiong, we have to go back right away."

As Natasha spoke, she quickened her pace with Qiong.

In the vast white snowfield, under such wind and snow, it would be quite fatal for an ordinary person to get lost.

Now that the snowstorm had narrowed their view, the worst had happened. Natasha felt she couldn't hold on any longer and couldn't help but lean on Qiong beside her.

The soft dark chocolate pudding was squeezed and deformed, but there was no time to worry about that at the moment; the help that Qiong could offer was limited.

Her body temperature was gradually decreasing, and even though Qiong had tried her best to hold Natasha close to help her, she couldn't prevent this from happening.

In such a snowstorm, even the patrolling guards had already gone indoors to take shelter, but speaking of this...

Natasha thought of the "Snow Immunity" that the Iron Guard Captain had given her before. Although it was only a half-finished product, it was enough to get through the current crisis.

After drinking the potion, Natasha immediately felt much better. The coldness in her body disappeared, replaced by a surge of warmth.

Now she is the one providing warmth to Qiong, who feels as if she is holding a soft hand warmer.

"It's okay, you can come a little closer. After all, it wouldn't do if you froze in this snowstorm."

Natasha suddenly spoke up, stopping Qiong from letting go of her, and at the same time grabbed one of his arms and hugged him tightly, feeling as if she were sandwiched in soft dough.

And as she moved away from the snowstorm, her condition gradually became strange, and beads of sweat began to appear on her forehead.

"Nata, are you alright?"

"It's okay, Sora, I just... feel a little hot."

Hearing Natasha's answer, Sora didn't suspect anything, after all, the other party looked really energetic, and just like the Iron Guard Captain had said before.

Because Natasha is not here today, the clinic is closed for the day, and there are no other patients inside.

Qiong helped Natasha into the house to rest. At this moment, the latter's face turned red, and her exposed skin was tinged with a light cherry blossom pink.

Her delicate body was still burning hot, and her breathing had become very heavy; she didn't seem to be alright at all.

"Nata, why don't you lie down and rest for a bit?"

"No, it's okay, I just feel a little hot. I'll take off some clothes... and I'll be fine."

As she spoke, she began to unbutton her collar, making no attempt to conceal her presence from Qiong. This unusual behavior was bound to cause concern.

The problem is that Qiong doesn't have any good solutions either. She can only think of ways to help Natasha cool down, such as helping her take off her clothes or getting her some wet towels.

After all, judging from her current condition, it's hard to say whether she can take good care of herself.

"Nata, wait a moment, I'll go get some water."

As Qiong was about to leave, he felt a hand tightly gripping the hem of his clothes.

"No... Phew, you don't need to go anywhere..."

Natasha gripped Sora's clothes tightly, then sat up and grabbed his arm before he could react.

She pulled him straight into her arms; her strength was considerable, and Qiong lost her balance for a moment.

Chapter 53 Natasha: Waaaaah… (What happened?)

She crashed directly into that soft bosom, the warmth covering her face, making it hard for Qiong to breathe.

"Na... Nata?"

Qiong tried to break free and call out, but in the soft embrace, he could only let out muffled whimpers.

Fortunately, Natasha didn't intend to deprive him of his breath and quickly released him, though only to allow him to break free and lift his head.

"Phew, Nata, you're now... ugh!"

Before she could finish speaking, a soft touch landed on her lips. Qiong was all too familiar with this feeling, but she was a little taken aback for a moment.

A wet, warm sensation covered her lips, and Natasha's slightly narrowed eyes were close to hers, like two gems filled with emotion.

As for what exactly those emotions were, Qiong said she already knew, and would soon know quite thoroughly.

"Where is it now...?"

Natasha suddenly spoke in a choked voice, her eyes glazed over. In the blink of an eye, the two had changed their demeanor. Qiong was certain that she had only been talking nonsense all along.

After all, it was facing such a gentle yet dignified older sister (some of the dialogue between the protagonist and Natasha was from the original text that I found interesting, and it really was like that).

He hadn't expected things to turn out this way. Could it be a problem with the potion? But those Iron Guards had used it for so long and hadn't had any issues.

Never mind all that. All he needs to do now is feel the warmth before him and Natasha's passionate gestures.

The original dark chocolate pudding had been removed from its outer shell, and with each vibration, it dazzled the eye.

Seeing this, Qiong subconsciously reached out and grabbed it to stop it from shaking so much. After all, the more a pudding shakes, the more tempting it is to eat.

However, Natasha doesn't seem satisfied with just this pudding and is now trying to add some syrup to it.

As for whether these syrups will be eaten ahead of time, that's uncertain. Besides, what Qiong needs to deal with right now is what's in front of her.

He could clearly sense that his opponent was somewhat excited, but defeating him so easily would not be easy.

"Gurgle, gurgle..."

It sounded like the rolling of a throat, or like something going down, or perhaps both.

Natasha raised her head again with satisfaction, then looked back at Qiong. She seemed to have regained some of her senses after what had just happened.

But not much; she simply smiled at Qiong, then turned to face him. Just as Natasha half-sat up, intending to do something,

boom!

The sound of someone pushing open the door echoed through the clinic. Qiong was startled by the noise, but Natasha was unaffected.

She continued with her work, head down, pointing her hand in the right direction, until the person who entered the clinic spoke...

"Nata? Are you there? I need to talk to you about something. Strange, why aren't you here?"

Seele's voice came through, and only then did Natasha finally react. She panicked instinctively, and then her foot slipped...

"Well!"

A very faint sound came from inside the clinic, but there was no accompanying crash, because in this critical moment...

Qiong reacted quickly, covering Natasha's mouth before she could make a sound, and supporting her body with her other hand.

Although the wound had already been irreversibly caused, at least it could be gently laid down. Although the sound was very soft, Seele's hearing was quite acute.

"What's that sound? Could it be a rat?"

Seele frowned slightly. Logically speaking, she should still be helping Bronya with her affairs, but she suddenly came to the clinic.

And I didn't see anyone here, except for the single bed with the curtains drawn at the very back; there was nowhere else to hide.

The sound they had just heard came from here, and as the footsteps drew closer, the two people hiding there became incredibly nervous.

At this moment, Natasha, still feeling the pain from before and with Seele's appearance, regained her rationality.

Her gaze fell on Qiong; she was now completely like a panicked young girl, unable to think of any other way.

After all, there wasn't even a blanket on the hospital bed, so there was no way to cover yourself up. As for tidying it up quickly? That's not something that can be done in a short time.

As the footsteps drew closer, Natasha grew increasingly nervous, even instinctively pressing her body against Qiong's chest.

The soft, chewy pudding was squeezed tightly. She couldn't imagine what would happen if Seele saw this scene later.

Her anxious state of mind, coupled with the lingering effects of "snow immunity," caused her body to feel hot, and beads of sweat to glisten on her skin.

Qiong could also feel that Natasha was sweating a lot. After thinking for a moment, he suddenly had an idea. He hugged Natasha tightly in front of him.

At the same time, he put one index finger to his lips, signaling her to be quiet. She obediently nodded and even became careful with her breathing.

Then it was Qiong's turn to speak.

Is that Seele?

"Huh? That voice is... Sora? What are you doing here? Where's Nata?"

As expected, Xi'er stopped in her tracks after hearing Qiong's voice. Xi'er breathed a sigh of relief and then continued to change the subject.

“She said she had something to do and went out, but she’s not here now. I just happened to be passing by and felt a bit sleepy, so I decided to rest for a bit.”

"You know what? Are you feeling unwell? Do you need me to check you out?"

As Seele spoke, footsteps sounded again, and just as they were about to approach, Qiong quickly interrupted her.

"No, no, I just wanted to take a nap. Besides, I'm not available right now. By the way, what do you need Natasha for?"

When she heard Qiong say that she was not available, Xi'er was slightly taken aback. Finally, as if she had thought of something, her face turned slightly red, and she spoke.

"It's nothing serious, but since she's not here, I'll just wait here for a while."

As Seele spoke, she seemed to walk to the side, find a chair, and sit down. The two people inside the curtains exchanged a glance upon hearing this and immediately sensed something was wrong.

The situation between the two people was awkward, and if it continued like this, Seele would definitely notice something was wrong, and it would be terrible if she found out.

Moreover, Natasha couldn't guarantee she could keep going; if things continued like this, she definitely wouldn't be able to hold on.

So, she could only look at the person in front of her again with pleading eyes, her gaze seeming to say, "Qiong, please, think of something..."

There was indeed a solution. Qiong pointed to Natasha's clothes beside her, which had been scattered there earlier.

Chapter 54 Natasha's Belly Is Full (She's Had Enough to Eat)

And in the pocket of that garment was Natasha's phone; all she had to do was send Seele a message to get her out of the way.

However, obtaining it has become a problem now. It is obviously inconvenient for Qiong to take action in her current state, so it can only be Natasha's turn.

She realized this herself, so she carefully got up, trying not to make a sound, and at the same time reached out and made a handprint on her clothes.

There was nothing that could be done about it, and besides, now was not the time to worry about that. Natasha carefully began to search.

She finally took her phone out of her pocket, and just as she breathed a sigh of relief and was about to get up,

The phone screen lit up, accompanied by a message notification sound, which startled Natasha once again.

Coupled with what she had just experienced, her legs went weak, and she sat down heavily again, making a crisp impact as she reached the bottom in one step.

Natasha almost dropped her phone, but this commotion naturally alerted Seele outside the curtains once again.

"Hmm? What was that sound?"

Seele was also holding her phone at that moment. She was the one who had just messaged Natasha, originally wanting to ask when she would be back.

Unexpectedly, another strange noise came from Qiong's side. The commotion just now was quite loud, and it would be difficult to cover it up without a reasonable explanation.

"Oh, it's nothing, I just saw a mosquito."
