Collapse Iron: I'm a Succubus in the Universe

"hehe."

The smile remained calm, but the two little black towers, apart from number 83, felt a chill run down their spines, and every part of them trembled.

After all, without Qiong, they couldn't control the Black Tower. If the other side got angry and wanted to teach them a lesson, they would be helpless.

"Ms. Black Tower, the test data has been compiled."

"Okay, send it to me later."

Number 83 calmly reported, and Black Tower simply nodded, seemingly not intending to take it to heart, which relieved Numbers 108 and 216.

"By the way, let me ask you a question. If I and Qiong both fell into the water at the same time, who would you save first?"

"Huh?"

According to what's said online, shouldn't Lady Black Tower ask Qiong this question? Why ask these little Black Towers? The little Black Towers don't know!

Meanwhile, on the other side, Qiong had successfully returned to the train and told the worried March Seven that she had only been called by the Black Tower to test the simulated universe.

The latter naturally had no doubts about this, but his tone was slightly complaining.

"Next time you're not coming home at night, at least give me a heads-up, okay?"

"Sorry, sorry, I'll definitely do it next time!"

As Qiong spoke, she came to Sanyue's side and gently put her arm around her shoulder. The soft touch came from her palm, and the intimate gesture made the girl's cheeks blush slightly.

"Really, really..."

March 7th didn't pay too much attention to it, and indeed, as Qiong said, this was just a coincidence.

However, today was still quite lively. In the afternoon, Sora received a message from Cocolia.

Qiong originally thought that her and Shiluwa's planned live performance was about to begin, but it was obviously not that fast. This time, it was mainly about something else.

Not long after, outside the city of Beloborg, Sora arrived before Cocolia, who still maintained her dignified and elegant demeanor.

Her long golden hair and beautiful face shone brightly in the wind and snow, but at this moment she wore a look of awe.

"I apologize for calling you here so suddenly, Master, but I am concerned about Bronya's condition."

"Bronya? What happened to her?"

Qiong was a little confused. Although the pressure was quite high when the city was first reformed, hadn't he been helping Bronya with government affairs?

Once the trouble with the rift is eliminated, everything else should be fine, right? Otherwise, we'd really be doomed if Beloberg were to come.

"No, please take a look."

As Cocolia spoke, she waved her hand and projected a video. The video showed Cocolia talking to Pera in the office.

"Is this real-time monitoring? You can actually do this? That's a bit scary!"

"Um! Please don't misunderstand, Master. I was just concerned, and my investigation was limited to the Guardian's office."

Cocolia felt a little embarrassed by what Sora said, and hurriedly explained before quickly changing the subject.

"Besides, that's not the point. You should understand, Master, that the pressure of inheriting the responsibilities of the Great Guardian is immense. I just didn't expect it to have such a big impact on Bronya."

Cocolia pointed at the projected image with a worried and concerned expression, while Sora seemed somewhat confused.

"Is it a big impact? Bronya seems no different than usual?"

"It's not just about appearances... Master, you haven't had any contact with Bronya recently, why don't you go and see her yourself?"

The unusual thing Cocolia is referring to here is Bronya's subtle behavior from a mother's perspective.

For example, her pen-holding posture, sitting posture, and tone of voice when she speaks—perhaps she's being a little too concerned, though part of it is also to get Qiong to pay more attention to Bronya.

But Qiong didn't know what she was referring to, and agreed with some doubt before heading to find Bronya.

It was rather unexpected that they would run into Seele, who was also there, outside Clifton Castle.

"Seele, are you here to see Bronya too?"

Based on what Qiong knows about her, Seele generally doesn't come and go from here unless it's related to Bronya.

"Yes, the list of residents to be settled in the lower city has been completed. Bronya asked me to bring it to her."

Seele was referring to settling some of the residents back in the towns that had been restored to safety after the rift disappeared.

Chapter 136 Bronya's Special Circumstances

"Does this matter really need to be handed over directly to Bronya?"

Qiong roughly understands why Bronya is under so much pressure, based on what she learned from Seele.

Bronya had taken the initiative to ask her to hand over the task, and after some speculation about the possible reasons, Sora realized that it might also be related to her.

In Bronya's eyes, Cocolia did a lot of bad things during her reign, so she wanted to make up for the impact of these bad things as much as possible.

Qiong stepped in to help at this time, not only arranging everything but also handling a large backlog of tasks by herself, and resolving the troubles of the rift.

This gradually created a contrast in Bronya's mind: Qiong, as the hero who saved Beloberg, had done so much for them.

To atone for the sins her mother committed, she should naturally work even harder, and there is another reason for this situation.

That is, Bronya arrested and shut down officials with a history of misconduct before she had even decided who would take over.

Bronya might be lenient with some officials who acted under orders from the previous High Warden, but most would be treated differently.

Exiling these people to the outskirts would be considered lenient; after the seizure, she would have even fewer people to use.

While Qiong was pondering these things, she and Seele arrived at the door of the High Guardian's office. They knocked gently, and Bronya's voice came from inside.

"Please come in, ah! It's Qiong... and Xi'er too."

Bronya smiled when she saw the two arrive, but then her expression turned somewhat surprised, as if she had noticed something.

Although Seele had told Qiong to keep her distance when she was out, especially in front of Bronya, she did indeed do so.

However, unintentional actions are unavoidable, such as two people unconsciously standing very close to each other.

Perhaps others wouldn't have noticed, but Bronya was different; she was still very concerned about the situation between the two of them.

"I didn't expect you all to come together."

"We just bumped into each other on the road... Oh right! This is a report that has already been prepared. Nata has already read it once."

Seele explained somewhat awkwardly. As for why she didn't check it herself? Because she was illiterate and was just helping to deliver the report.

"Is Bronya very busy lately?"

Qiong glanced around the office and, seeing that there were no more piles of documents, focused her attention on Bronya.

"How have things been lately? Thanks to Qiong's help, Belloborg is thriving!"

Bronya smiled slightly, seemingly without any sign of anything amiss, but Qiong was momentarily taken aback.

In order to better observe Bronya's situation, Sora even used her ability to sense her every move.

While this might be somewhat inappropriate, Qiong can assure you that she has no ill intentions, well, she didn't originally have any...

In Qiong's perception, Bronya's knees, which were originally tightly pressed together, slightly opened, and the black stockings with a delicate, ethereal sheen went up along her slender legs, becoming deeper.

Qiong didn't initially have any thoughts about Bronya's action; after all, it's normal to change your sitting posture after sitting for a long time.

But gradually things started to look strange. Qiong noticed that Bronya's legs were opening wider and wider, as if it were a silent invitation.

Furthermore, a blush of shyness appeared on her calm expression, as if she were embarrassed for some reason.

"Wait, wait a minute... No way?"

Qiong used her perception to examine Bronya's legs more closely, noticing the delicate black silk tightly wrapped around her skin.

It appeared dark and alluring, tempting one to explore it further, and then he discovered it, in the deepest part.

Apart from this thick layer of black stockings, there was nothing else covering it; in fact, the full, rounded areas even revealed a hint of pink and translucent color.

There really isn't one?! Is this what Cocolia was talking about?!

No, we can't jump to conclusions yet. Maybe Bronya just didn't dry her clothes after washing them yesterday, which is why she has nothing to wear today.

Qiong had originally wanted to use this argument to convince herself, but judging from the current situation, it was clearly not the case!

He was at a loss for words, bearing the weighty responsibility of leading the entire Beloborg—the guardian Bronya.

In a corner where no one can see, there is such a side to him. If he can get hold of such a handle, Bronya probably won't be able to refuse him no matter what he says.

After all, if this kind of thing gets out, the impact will be enormous...

As Qiong thought about this, she felt some inexplicable memories popping into her mind, while her gaze remained fixed on the table in front of Bronya.

As if sensing that gaze, Bronya's face grew even redder, and her skin faintly revealed a cherry blossom pink hue that spread all the way to her ears.

Finally unable to hold on any longer, she closed her legs, which had been spread open under the table, as if she had been overstimulated during her first attempt.

What's wrong with you all?

Looking at the two people beside her who had suddenly fallen silent and whose expressions were hard to describe, Seele couldn't help but scratch a question mark.

Could it be that these two are also hiding something from her? But wait, did anything happen just now? Nothing did.

"No, it's nothing. Natasha's arrangements are indeed very reasonable. I will arrange for a batch of supplies to be sent down later."

Bronya tried to cover up her slight panic in her tone, but her gaze inevitably turned to Qiong, whose expression had returned to normal.

It seemed that nothing had been discovered, which relieved Bronya. Indeed, how could anything have been discovered?

This was actually her first time trying it out, and the reason she had this idea was entirely due to a novel that Pera had recommended to her.

I heard that this novel was recently released in Belleburg and that the plot is very exciting.

It tells the story of a protagonist on an interstellar adventure who gradually comes into contact with and develops romantic relationships with girls from various planets.

The plot here seems to borrow from Belloberg's background, but it appears to be using the official narrative.

The rulers within were not seduced by the dark forces, but fought against them with all their might, ultimately sacrificing themselves to bring peace.

The newly succeeded ruler also encountered many troubles, just like Bronya, but they were all resolved with the help of the protagonist in the book.

In particular, the fact that the new ruler in the book shared the same ideas as her made Bronya feel a sense of identification with the story, and she gradually became attracted to the content of the book.

Then I saw a certain chapter...

Chapter 137 Bronya's Daring

Bronya simply couldn't imagine how anyone could want to be led around naked outside.

Won't it be cold? And what if someone sees us? If that happens, wouldn't our reputation as leaders be completely ruined?

"But...does this really relieve stress?"

Bronya noticed that after each episode in the book, the character who resembled her would appear very relaxed.

Besides being curious, she wondered how the book had passed censorship, how Pera had found it, and why she had recommended it to her.

But in reality, Pera first saw the book in a bookstore, and it had the name of one of her recent favorite authors on it.

So I bought it, but before I could even look at it much, seeing how much pressure Bronya was under, I gave it to her.

She planned to buy another copy, unaware that the one Bronya was holding was special.

"Hmm... even though it's because my underwear wasn't dry, it still feels..."

Bronya felt incredibly excited, especially by Qiong's gaze just now, as if he had truly discovered her secret.

My heart was filled with tension, and it seemed that some of the pressure was also released. No, it didn't seem so.

Bronya brought her legs together and crossed them slightly, feeling the thick black stockings that had become damp. The stimulating emotions prompted her to resume her display during the ensuing exchange.

Qiong continued to observe this scene. Although he couldn't quite understand it, he naturally wouldn't let such a good opportunity slip by.

"If Bronya is busy, I'll help her out."

"Huh? No, no need, actually there's nothing..."

Bronya was startled by Qiong's words. She wanted to refuse, but Qiong had already walked around the desk and come to her side.

This action immediately made Bronya nervous, and she pressed her legs tightly together, enduring the wet sensation spreading between them.

She was afraid that Qiong would discover something, but the latter acted very seriously, as if he just wanted to help her with official business.

This gradually eased Bronya's tension, but then strange thoughts began to arise.

"Qiong, in that case, I'll leave it to you."

Bronya spoke gently, and her tightly crossed knees relaxed slightly, but just then Seele spoke.
