Collapse Iron: I'm a Succubus in the Universe

But once the rift creatures around the city are also cleared out, they'll probably be able to react.

As for the eroded parts of the city, all that's needed is to bring Cocolia over so she can extract the remaining power there.

Once the "protection" covers that area again, it will be possible to continue living there.

Some plans require the achievement of these goals, so Qiong left several times during this period.

He was so busy that he even forgot that Xing hadn't appeared for a while.

However, just as he arrived in the city once again, in a place that was being eroded, and was about to summon Cocolia, her voice rang in his mind.

"Master, I've encountered a problem here, and I'm afraid I'll need your help."

Cocolia spoke respectfully, having completely submitted, both physically and mentally, after this period of adjustment.

After all, she had watched Qiong help Beloborg build step by step during this time, which was also the reason why Cocolia was still willing to exist.

It was all for the sake of Beloborg, and Kyō's actions brought benefits to the city, allowing it to continue to exist for a long time.

That's enough for Cocolia.

Getting back to the main point, after hearing Cocolia's words, Sora was initially puzzled.

"What's going on? What happened?"

"When I was clearing the rift outside the city, a child accidentally wandered into this area and was affected by my actions..."

"What? Is that person alright?!"

"He is not in immediate danger, but his condition is very bad. Please come and take a look."

Without Cocolia needing to say anything, Qiong immediately set off. After sending a message to Bronya, she was instantly teleported to a location outside the city.

In the vast, boundless snowfield, a small fire burns beside a cliff that provides shelter from the wind and snow. Next to it stands a small tent, and a beautiful blonde woman sits there.

"Master, you've arrived."

When Cocolia saw Sora arrive, she quickly stood up. Sora nodded and then looked at the tent.

Is the person inside the tent?

"Hmm, she's still not awake. I found a tent in her bag, so I set it up."

And that's not all. Qiong also noticed a small pot on the fire in front of Cocolia, and it seemed like something was being cooked inside.

"Ah, I thought she might feel weak when she wakes up, so I prepared some food in advance."

"Ah."

Hearing Cocolia's explanation, Sora didn't say much, but was a little surprised that the other party could actually cook.

Finally, he went into the tent to check on the victim's condition, and sure enough, just as Cocolia had said, it was a young girl.

"But this looks familiar...blonde hair, and this face..."

Qiong frowned slightly, deep in thought, when Cocolia spoke up.

"She's a child of the Landau family. She's Silva's sister, and if I remember correctly, her name is Reiko."

"I see. But how do you know all this so clearly?"

“Master, as you know, I used to be very good friends with Hiluva, and I also knew Lingke back then.”

Cocolia looked slightly worried, but she did not avoid the question. Seeing her like this, Qiong thought for a moment and then spoke.

"If you have the chance later, would you like to go and meet them?"

"...Is it...okay?"

Cocolia looked somewhat surprised. She had originally prepared herself to give up everything she had done in her previous life, to atone for her sins as much as possible, and to follow Sora by her side.

"Of course you can."

Qiong has always been quite tolerant in this regard, and if Cocolia really wants to meet Bronya, he won't restrict her from doing so.

However, upon learning this, Cocolia, after a brief moment of surprise, quickly lowered her eyes again, shook her head, and shook her head.

"No, it's not the right time now. Let's wait until things are better."

Sora respected Cocolia's decision, then turned to look at Reiko, who was still curled up in her warm sleeping bag.

The tent had been imbued with Cocolia's power, shielding it from the cold outside, so the girl was sleeping soundly and peacefully.

Her chest rose and fell slightly with her breathing, and as Qiong approached, her cute little nose suddenly twitched, and then she groggily opened her eyes.

"Where am I? You...you are Krippar's messenger?"

"what?"

Qiong was taken aback by Ling Ke's first words, but the girl quickly realized that she was not dead yet.

Looking around at the familiar surroundings, I realized I should be in my sleeping bag inside my tent...

Ling quickly checked her condition and confirmed that nothing was wrong and she was still alive and well.

Then, looking at Qiong who was waiting to the side, he quickly stood up, put his hands together, and spoke apologetically.

"I'm so sorry, sir. Did you save me? I saw the former Grand Guardian in my dream just now, so I talked nonsense. I'm really sorry!"

"It's nothing, it's nothing. My name is Qiong. By the way, whose child are you? What's your name? And how did you end up here?"

Although Qiong knew the answers to the first two questions, she still asked them symbolically. Ling Ke naturally did not hide anything from the person she thought was her savior.

"My name is Ling Ke. I was doing reconnaissance work near the snowfield when I unexpectedly encountered a natural disaster and lost consciousness..."

Lingke recounted her experience in detail, while also expressing her surprise that the appearance of the former Great Guardian in her dream felt incredibly real, unlike a dream at all.

"Well, maybe it's the former Great Guardian protecting you, after all, she and your sister didn't have a very good relationship."

"That was before... wait, how did Qiong know about this?"

When faced with Ling Ke's question, Qiong could only say that he had heard it from Shiluwa, and when the former learned that he knew his sister, he immediately became less distant.

Just then, Cocolia's voice came from my mind again.

"Master, the soup is ready. You may bring Miss Lingke out for a drink."

Chapter Fifty-Seven: Not a single drop can be wasted; it must all be drunk.

Upon hearing Cocolia's words, Sora temporarily left the tent, as Reiko did indeed appear to be in poor condition at the moment.

Having just woken up from a coma, she desperately needed to replenish her energy. Fortunately, there were no major problems. When she re-entered the tent, a small bowl appeared in her hand.

"Lingke, I've made some soup. Would you like some?"

"Okay, thank you..."

Lingke nodded gently, sat up, and her fair skin slipped out from under the sleeping bag, only covered by a thin bra.

"Uh……"

Such a sensual scene startled Qiong, but Ling Ke in front of him seemed oblivious and reached out her hand.

Completely disregarding the fact that the shoulder strap slipped down, revealing even more of the whiteness and softness, as well as the pink cream around the strawberry on top of the cake.

It was only from Cocolia that Qiong learned that when she found Reiko, Reiko's clothes were already soaked, so she had to take them off to dry.

'Where did the dried clothes go?'

'It's not dry yet, Master.'

Hearing Cocolia's answer, Sora was also somewhat helpless. What should they do in this situation? Looking at Reiko, who was still a little dazed, he tentatively asked.

"That garment isn't dry yet, why don't you have some soup first?"

"clothing?"

Lingke tilted her head in confusion, then looked down and spotted her own little white dove, which was barely visible.

She hadn't noticed anything while curled up in her sleeping bag, but it was only now that she finally realized something was wrong.

Her pretty face immediately flushed red, and she quickly covered it with her hands while shrinking back into her sleeping bag, her gaze involuntarily turning to Qiong.

Her face was flushed red, and there were even signs of heat emanating from it. However, Qiong noticed this and realized that something was wrong.

He reached out and tentatively touched the girl's forehead, and Ling Ke, in her current state, was unable to resist. The result was as expected…

"She really does have a fever. This is bad."

"Fever? We have medicine..."

Seemingly having heard what Qiong said, Ling Ke spoke softly. Since she often went out, she naturally carried some medicine with her.

In this way, Qiong was spared the trouble of going back to the city again. However, after taking the medicine, Ling Ke was unable to get up because she was not wearing any clothes.

Would you like something to drink?

Qiong scooped some soup with a spoon and brought it to Ling Ke's lips. The aroma of the soup stimulated the girl's taste buds, causing her to subconsciously purse her dry lips.

After a slight hesitation, she finally succumbed to her instincts and swallowed all the soup in the spoon, bit by bit.

Carefully, not a single drop was wasted.

Meanwhile, on the other side, in Kripper Castle, Bronya and Pera were still waiting for Sora's return.

Pera was still sitting in the chair, holding a book with a cover that he didn't know the cover of, flipping through it while drinking tea and eating snacks.

Bronya's side was also relatively relaxed, as the amount of documents they needed to process was greatly reduced due to Sora's presence.

Of course, the main reason is the combat power provided by Qiong, that ability to clear the influence of the rift on a large scale, even though the principle behind it is unknown.

That's why Qiong's plan was able to proceed smoothly. It's just that in the past it could be dealt with quickly, but this time it took so long.

"Bronya, you don't need to worry so much. Didn't Qiong say that she just ran into some trouble and will be back soon?"

"Ok, I know."

Bronya nodded gently in response to Pera's words, but she was still a little worried. Every time Qiong cleared the rift, she would have the nearby Silvermane Iron Guards evacuate.

Because the cleaning process is usually quite noisy, but this time there was no sound for a long time, it's hard not to wonder if something unexpected has happened.

So what is Qiong doing at this moment?

"She drank it all. Ling is such a good girl."

"Mmm...uh!"

Qiong reached out and touched Lingke's forehead. After taking the medicine and replenishing her strength, her condition had improved significantly.

The girl was still very sleepy at the moment. With a safe and secure support, she couldn't resist the drowsiness and drifted off to sleep again.

"Phew, it looks like the situation has stabilized."

Qiong breathed a slight sigh of relief. At times like this, she couldn't help but think that if she had the power of an abundant destiny, things would be much easier.

Now that the crisis here has been temporarily resolved, we should get back to our current business. There shouldn't be any unexpected events here in the short term, but just to be on the safe side...

Qiong still called Xing over. Xing was still confused when she was pulled over. She was holding a book and a pen in her hand and it was unclear what she was doing.

"Qiong, you've worked hard these past few days, but you should take a rest now, shouldn't you?"

The sudden words startled Qiong. What was going on? Her position as the Great Guardian's strongest assistant had suddenly been stripped of power.

Was he framed, or was it discovered that he had abused his power for personal gain by allocating extra medical supplies to Natasha?

But that doesn't make sense. Those were medical supplies he saved by helping the Silver Mane Iron Guards reduce their losses. It would be reasonable for him to allocate some of them himself.

“Qiong, you’ve been working so hard these past few days. Bronya and I are very worried about your health. If you can, it would be better if you could rest.”

Pera, who was standing nearby, also spoke up to help, but Qiong could only say, "You two have been working hard for days and nights, only sleeping a few hours a day, and you're here to handle official business. How do you even know such things?"

As if noticing Sora's expression, Bronya's face showed a hint of embarrassment. As for Pera, she didn't actually want to work overtime, but she had no choice.

Nevertheless, Qiong still followed their advice. In any case, the rifts within the city had been mostly dealt with, and the rest was enough for the two of them.

As soon as he returned, Himeko noticed him. She was taken aback when she saw him suddenly appear, but then she smiled gently.

"Qiong, you're back! I heard from Sanyue and Danheng about your trip. You played a crucial role. You're truly amazing."

As she spoke, Himeko stepped forward and gently patted his head. Her palm was warm, and her gesture was very gentle.

Chapter 58 March 7th: Be gentle, my throat still hurts!

"You flatter me, Sister Himeko."

Himeko felt a little embarrassed by the praise, but upon hearing Sora's words, she smiled again.

"No need to be modest. I've heard about what you've been up to these past few days. You've done a great job. By the way, you've been working so hard for so long, how about grabbing a cup of coffee to relax?"
