Yes, Lady Funina!

“Then there’s no need,” Arecino said with her eyes closed, but after a while she opened them again.

With those X-shaped pupils staring intently at Richard, Arecino, now a woman, asked, "I told you there was no need to expel the shadows anymore, so why did you move again?"

And this is how Richard answered her.

That was just work; this is life.

Arecino felt that the other person was simply not satisfied and was just making up an excuse to torment her.

Arecino had no choice but to silently endure it.

------

The next morning, in Richard's bedroom, two figures were tightly entwined.

After a night's rest, Arecino, having regained her strength, started a war while Richard was asleep, seemingly to get revenge for all the suffering she had inflicted on him the previous night.

The cursed power within her seemed to have been terrified; even though Arecino released the suppression of the cursed power, that power still did not emerge from her fingernails.

Arecino speculated that it was due to the power Richard had left inside her.

Even though a night had passed, Arecino discovered that the power Richard had left in her body had not only not diminished, but had even miraculously increased by a little.

It seems that Richard not only planted the seed of life in her body last night, but also the seed of power.

As Arecino thought this, Richard quickly seized the opportunity to throw her to the ground, and then, just like yesterday's script, she was powerless to fight back.

However, this time Richard would not let this 'Jockey Meuz' scoundrel off so easily. But considering that his 'lips' were already swollen and red from the intense friction, it would be inevitable that they would break open if this continued.

Arecino bled once last night, so we won't let her bleed again today.

So Richard pointed the gun at the other mouth.

Arecino glanced at Richard as if warning him not to play with fire, and Richard returned Arecino's earlier words to her.

"I'm not playing with fire, I'm playing with you."

And then... no more.

With a sob in her throat, Alejandro's morning exercise came to an end.

Richard went into the bathroom to wash himself quickly and then changed his clothes. It was a workday, and even though he had worked hard all night, he still had to go to work.

Arecino, on the other hand, lay lazily on the bed, showing no intention of moving at all.

"Aren't you going to take a shower?"

"Take a break."

Arecino yawned, and as a result, she smelled the odor in her breath. She frowned slightly, but ultimately decided to get out of bed and start washing up.

Richard glanced at the messy bed, checked the time, and then said to Arecino, who was still taking a shower in the bathroom, "Remember to have someone tidy up the bed for me."

"Okay," Arecino readily agreed.

After hearing Arecino's reply, Richard went straight to work.

After taking a shower, Arecino walked out of the bathroom while drying herself. She went to the guest room next door, the place where she had first bled, and took all her clothes to Richard's master bedroom. Then she picked up her crumpled undergarments and went into the room to wash them.

After washing, she dried it with fire elemental power, then wore it until it was back to its original state. Only then did Arecino open the window, whistle a short whistle, and a bird flew to the window.

Arecino slipped the note into the mail tube tied to the bird's leg and released it.

After finishing all this, Arecino closed the window again, went to the living room, sat quietly on the sofa, and waited for someone to arrive.

------

Because she had taken the day off yesterday, Lynette had a lot of work to do today, so she arrived at the Capitol office on the top floor of the Momon Palace before dawn to start dealing with the work that had piled up yesterday.

Lynette was very efficient; while the other staff members were already at work, she had already started working on her day's tasks.

Just as Lynette was concentrating on her work, she heard a rattling sound coming from the window. When she looked over, she saw that it was her brother's magic bird pecking at the window with its beak.

"Magic Flying Bird?"

Lynette put down the documents in her hand, went to the window and opened it. A small magic bird jumped into Lynette's hand and shook its right foot, indicating that Lynette should receive the letter.

Lynette took down the letter, then took out some dried meat from her office drawer, tore it into strips, and placed it by the window for Magic Bird to enjoy. She then opened the note that Magic Bird had given her.

"My father is looking for me?" Lynette was a little surprised. Didn't he just contact her yesterday?

Why do I need to see her again today?

When Lynette thought about what Arecino had said to her in the office yesterday, her pretty face flushed slightly. Could it be about this?

Lynette shook her head, cleared her mind, and continued reading. Then she realized that the meeting address her father had given her looked very familiar.

“Isn’t this where Richard’s house is?” Lynette muttered to herself.

"Father, could she be serious about this?"

Thinking about this, Lynette became restless and prepared to ask Fukaros for another leave.

"Take leave? But didn't you just ask for leave yesterday?" Fukaros was somewhat surprised after hearing Lynette's words.

He then asked with concern, "Is something wrong? If there's anything I can help you with, please let me know."

Lynette shook her head, indicating that nothing serious had happened, just some problems at home.

Fukaros knew about Lynette's other identity and that the House of Hearths seemed to be planning to evacuate Fontaine, so he didn't ask any questions and quickly granted her leave.

After leaving the Mo Mang Palace, Lynette practically ran all the way to Richard's doorstep.

Just as she reached the door, she noticed that Richard's door was ajar.

"Come in, the door's unlocked," Arecino's voice came from the other side of the door.

Lynette took a deep breath and opened the door.

As soon as Lynette walked in, she saw him sitting on the living room sofa with his legs crossed.

"Father, you've come here to see Richard..."

"he knows."

"You know?" Lynette's expression changed. Could it be that her father had told Richard that he would help her with her 'coming-of-age ceremony'?

The reason I came early was so that she could decorate the house beforehand, and then start the 'coming-of-age ceremony' after Richard got off work?

No, no, no, this is far too reckless; it doesn't seem like Father's style at all.

In short, ask questions first.

"Then, Father, why did you seek me out?" Lynette asked directly.

"Clean the house," Arechino said succinctly.

Her words, however, confirmed Lynette's suspicions; she really was going to be in charge of decorating the 'coming-of-age ceremony'.

Arecino looked at Lynette and, noticing she hadn't moved, frowned and said, "What are you still standing there for?"

“Father, I have my own plans.” Lynette decided to refuse her father’s arranged marriage.

"Plans?" Arecino raised an eyebrow. No, I mean, what plans could you possibly have for cleaning a house?

Arecino then realized that the other party seemed to have misunderstood something.

“Yes, I and…” Linette was about to reason with Arecino, but she didn’t expect the other to gesture for her to stop.

Seeing her father stand up, Lynette felt as if she were facing a formidable enemy, and the cat tail behind her had somehow exploded.

However, what awaited Lynette was not the reprimand she expected, but rather her father's nonchalant words.

"I think... you seem to have misunderstood something."

Upon hearing this, Lynette froze, and her previously bristling tail subconsciously relaxed.

"Misunderstand?"

"Just one look into the bedroom and you'll know why I called you here today," Arecino said calmly.

Lynette walked toward Richard's room with some skepticism, and just as she was about to open the door, she heard her father's voice behind her.

"Not this one, go into the one next door first."

Lynette released her hand from Richard's bedroom doorknob and turned to look at another door.

Lynette walked quickly to the door, while Arecino stood behind her.

"Let's go." Arecino yawned. She rarely showed signs of fatigue in front of the children, but today she really couldn't help it.

The intense battle with Richard had exhausted most of her energy. If it weren't for the need to give Lynette a vivid and realistic lesson, she would probably be catching up on sleep in Richard's bedroom right now.

After hearing her father's words, Lynette opened the door to the guest room with a puzzled look on her face.

As soon as Lynette opened the door, she smelled a strange odor, and then the sight inside left her stunned.

The bed was in disarray, the bedding was damp, the pillow was carelessly tossed on the floor, and... there was a glaring bloodstain on the pristine white sheets.

This is clearly the scene of a 'coming-of-age ceremony' that has already taken place!

Lynette's mind was a bit of a mess. Why had her "father" specifically called her to this room?

When asked about these questions, Lynette turned to look at Arecino.

"Father, this is..."

"As you can see, it's the aftermath of the incident, and your job is to clean the room."

"But……"

Lynette was about to say something when Arecino interrupted her: "There are no 'buts.' Are you planning to disobey me?"

“No, Father.” Lynette lowered her head instinctively.

Then, filled with doubt, she began cleaning the house, pondering what was going on as she cleaned.

After cleaning the room, opening the windows for ventilation, and restoring everything to its original state, Lynette reappeared before Arecino.

"[Father], the mission... is complete."

“Yes, there’s another one. Let’s go.” Arecino nodded and continued.

Lynette didn't move, but stood still and asked her father, "I don't understand, Father."

“I think you already understand,” Arecino said, offering the opposite opinion. “Didn’t you already guess? It’s exactly what you thought.”

Lynette's pupils contracted sharply, and her throat felt dry.

"Is that what I...think?"

Seeing Lynette's dazed expression, Arecino said without the slightest softening, "It's just as you think. That bloodstain was left by me."

"Richard did it."

When Lynette heard Arecino say those words, she seemed to sway slightly, her face pale, and asked, "You're not joking?"

"When have I ever joked?"

That's not quite right. She did joke with Richard yesterday, but the consequences were rather dire; her legs are still a little weak.

"Didn't you say..."

"What did you say?"

Did you say you would help me?

“I’m helping you right now, Lynette.”

PS1: I added 30000 words in two days, bringing the total to 38000 words including the ones I was supposed to update. I'm really exhausted. I'll probably be busy with my graduation project next month, so updates will likely be affected. But as soon as I finish that, I'll definitely resume normal updates immediately. Sorry...

PS2: This is written by py, and by Hao Houmi. If you find out I've stopped updating, just go find him. He's definitely the one who made me play games.

Introduction: [Orange]

Having transmigrated into the body of a princess of the Great Xia Dynasty, and even a girl in a wheelchair, Mu Qinglan felt a little panicked.

This is because it is the game world she has been deeply involved in in her previous life, and the villainous boss in the early part of the story is none other than her current biological father, Prince Qi.

Moreover, the entire Prince Qi's mansion will be wiped out soon.

The future looks bleak.

However, there is also good news. As a transmigrator, Mu Qinglan knows many extraordinary secrets that only players know, as well as many deep-seated secrets of the game characters that have not yet been revealed.
