"Idiot subordinate, now that they've left, hurry up and drag me out."

As the saying goes, it's easy to get in but hard to get out. Bronya's current predicament seems to prove this point. Her entire body is stuck under the bed and she can't move.

Looking at the scene before him, Xia Yuan had a bold idea and a somewhat immature suggestion: wasn't this the perfect opportunity for him to find the videotape from Bronya?

Not to be missed.

"My dear duck, how about we make a deal? You give me that videotape, and I'll rescue you from under the bed, okay?"

Hearing her stupid subordinate's opportunistic words, Bronya's expression turned extremely disgusted. She stared at her stupid subordinate for a few seconds without expression before slowly uttering a few words from the corner of her mouth.

"No way."

She didn't want Xia Yuan to follow Rita to Destiny, or to become a bartender at some bar with Raven.

Bronya felt that if she didn't discipline Xia Yuan for a few days, her stupid subordinate would become itchy for a beating again.

Like Rosalia and Lilia, she only needs to be disciplined after a good scolding. Once she comes out from under the bed, she will show her stupid subordinates what it means to be ruthlessly tormented by their boss.

Xia Yuan quietly went to the other side of the bed. He knew it was not an easy thing to do, and it was even more immoral, but he knew he had to do it for the sake of his future happy life and work.

However, he knew he had made his choice, and now all he had to do was bear the consequences and try his best to do things the best he could.

"I'm so sorry... Duck Duck, I will definitely apologize profusely later!"

Xia Yuan believed that Bronya must have kept the videotape safe, and the safest place for it would undoubtedly be on her person.

The edge of the bed...

Xia Yuan carefully placed his hand under the bed, searching for the videotape that might be hidden on Bronya's body.

Xia Yuan explored for a long time, feeling the softness and comfort, but even after searching almost the entire body of Lonia, he still couldn't find his videotape.

"Hmph... You idiot subordinate, I'll give you three seconds to take your hand off, or don't blame Bronya for being impolite!"

Bronya's somewhat hurried voice came from under the bed.

"three!"

As soon as Bronya spoke, Xia Yuan felt as if his fingers had entered a wet area.

Then, accompanied by a sharp pain, Xia Yuan quickly pulled his finger out. Upon closer inspection, he saw a row of neat teeth marks remaining on his finger. Xia Yuan clutched his hand in pain.

"Duck, you didn't count to three seconds at all."

"Who told you to be so naive as to believe me, you fool? Now you know how powerful Bronya is, don't you?"

Xia Yuan didn't respond to Bronya, who was looking extremely fierce under the bed. Instead, he observed the layout of the room, wondering where Bronya would hide the videotape.

Just then, Xia Yuan saw the wooden drawer by the bedside.

I opened the drawer and looked through each layer. The videotape was perfectly intact in the very center of the drawer.

Xia Yuan gently took it out, carefully pressed it against his chest, and then put it in his pocket. He felt his heart beat faster, but he was also filled with an unparalleled sense of security.

In this way, he was finally free from the constraints of his boss, Bronya.

Xia Yuan felt a mix of emotions, including praise for his courage, self-reproach for his immoral behavior, and a little bit of self-condemnation.

Now, while Bronya is trapped under the bed, he can escape the village. Finally, he won't have to endure Bronya's bullying anymore.

Just as Xia Yuan was about to leave the room, a fair hand reached out from under the bed and quickly grabbed Xia Yuan's ankle.

Xia Yuan tripped and fell to the ground.

His body was being slowly pulled under the deep, dark bed.

As Xia Yuan gazed down into the abyss, Bronya was also staring back at him. The deep resentment emanating from Bronya beneath the bed seemed to materialize into a tangible form.

“You stupid subordinate, you don’t think I only have one videotape, do you? Bronya has already backed up the contents of the videotape 1000 times. Come back here obediently. You’ll always be a stupid subordinate.”

Upon hearing Bronya's words, Xia Yuan felt as if he had been struck by lightning. His body stiffened as if petrified, but he still slowly crawled towards the dark depths beneath the bed.

Just as Xia Yuan was about to fall into Bronya's clutches, a Knight-class Honkai Beast was hurled from outside the thick fog. The loud noise of the room's windows shattering made Bronya instinctively loosen her grip.

The adorable Knight-class Honkai Beast suffered a terrible fate at the hands of Qian Jie and collapsed heavily to the ground, which is why Xia Yuan was able to escape.

Realizing what had happened, Xia Yuan quickly stood up and silently mourned for the adorable Knight-class Honkai Beast for a few seconds.

He can't stay here any longer; an angry Bronya is far more dangerous than the thick fog and Honkai Beasts outside.

But Xia Yuan suddenly remembered his villainous role in the game, and it seemed he would be letting down his identity if he didn't do something to Bronya.

So, Xia Yuan took the marker he found in the room and drew a duck on Bronya's pretty face.

stare--

"You stupid subordinate, you'll pay for this."

But Xia Yuan, having finished his drawing, had already walked out of the room and hadn't heard Bronya's voice. Perhaps Bronya was deliberately lying to him; she didn't have a backup. Xia Yuan kept reassuring himself. The most important thing now was to escape this village as soon as possible.

at the same time.

Inside the room, Kiana, dressed in the [Houmu Set], was finally awakened from her sleep by the noise.

"Who?! Who woke me up? I was about to beat the game with my gaming partner Xia Yuan in my dream!"

Immediately afterwards, a pair of fair hands emerged from under the bed and tightly grasped Kiana's ankles.

"A...a...a ghost?!"

"What the hell, you idiot Kiana, get me out from under the bed!"

Bronya's voice came from under the bed.

"Hey, Bronya, what are you doing under the bed?"

Kiana's little head was covered with question marks, expressing her confusion and bewilderment.

"Idiot Kiana, stop asking so many questions, just get Bronya out of here first!"

Chapter 283 is Bronya, not Duck!

After Kiana's efforts...

Bronya finally emerged from under the bed, but this was followed by a hint of doubt in Kiana.

Is it really that cramped under the bed?

To verify this doubt and conjecture, Kiana decided to put it into practice to find the truth. So Kiana crawled under the bed and then easily crawled out again.

"Bronya, look... isn't this easy? Wait, Bronya, what's that on your face? A duck drawn on your face with a marker? Pfft~"

Bronya quickly wiped the marker off her face with a handkerchief.

"Idiot Kiana, you should just go back to sleep!"

A long-absent angry symbol reappeared on Bronya's forehead, followed by a heavy chop that knocked Kiana unconscious. She remembered that her foolish subordinate should have liked big things...

Yeah, I wouldn't like someone like that idiot Kiana.

"Hmph... You stupid subordinate, do you really think you can escape Bronya's grasp? The hunt begins."

Bronya launched a hunting expedition.

This is the confidence she once had as a mercenary, the "Ural Silver Wolf".

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Xia Yuan walked through the fog-shrouded village. The fog was so thick that he couldn't tell which way was which. He could only try to find the buildings and follow the landmarks to the vicinity of the square. Then he drove his heavy-duty rabbit away.

Just then, one after another, the Charge-class Honkai Beasts were thrown out of the thick fog and crashed heavily onto the ground like aerial bombs, creating dents of various sizes.

"Struggle all you want, Herrscher!"

Amidst the thick fog, the voice of Qian Jie's maniacal laughter, filled with a demonic quality, could be faintly heard. Xia Yuan was grateful for the sound, as it allowed him to stay away from the center of the battlefield and avoid being affected by the battle between the two.

Xia Yuan groped around and slowly walked into the distance of the mist, but just then, a blue beam of light shot out from the thick fog behind him and grazed past Xia Yuan's cheek.

"Tch, did it miss?"

Bronya's voice could be faintly heard from the thick fog, along with the Heavy Bunny 0019 in her hand, still emitting white smoke as it took the form of a pistol.

Cold sweat slowly slid down Xia Yuan's cheeks.

"Duck, are you serious?! If you had veered just a little further off course, your most capable subordinate would have been killed right here!"

Xia Yuan raised his hands, not daring to turn around.

"You stupid subordinate, weren't you so good at running just now? Didn't you want to quit? If you know what's good for you, throw the videotape over here, and I can pretend nothing happened. You stupid subordinate, you're still my good subordinate."

Bronya pressed closer.

"Otherwise, the next laser will go through your legs, you stupid subordinate. How will you switch jobs if you can't walk? But don't worry, Bronya will take care of you for the rest of your life."

Bronya is showing signs of turning to the dark side.

Bronya's words also confirmed Xia Yuan's guess: she hadn't saved a backup. If she had, the other party wouldn't have cared so much about the videotape.

Xia Yuan gripped the videotape in his pocket tightly with one hand. Was he really going to hand it over?

The future may hold endless oppression, but if I don't hand it over, I could be bedridden for years.

Just when Xia Yuan was in dire straits, he saw a figure with horns on its head slowly emerge from the thick fog. Upon closer inspection, it was none other than Kosmo.

Upon noticing the person approaching, Xia Yuan immediately had an idea and ran enthusiastically toward Kosmo.

"Isn't this Senior Xia Yuan, the one who taught me how to transform...? He seems to be in a hurry, how should I greet him? And I still haven't gotten the hang of the transformation pose, how should I ask him for help?"

Kosmo remained silent, but thought to himself.

At this moment, Xia Yuan had arrived in front of Kosmo, and solemnly patted the other's shoulders with both hands, saying in a somewhat heavy tone:

"Kosmo... Do you feel like you can't quite get the hang of your transformation poses? Do you feel like yours isn't very impactful? That's because you desperately need a man's battle right now, to prove yourself and surpass yourself."

Xia Yuan, in a cacophony of words, spoke earnestly to Kosmo.

Kosmo maintained his usual silence, but he was deeply shaken, as if he had suddenly realized something, and nodded solemnly.

"Now, I've specially found you a worthy opponent, Kosmo. Come... show her all the hard work and effort you've put in these past few days!"

Xia Yuan pointed to Bronya behind him, encouraging Dokos in a manly way.

Although Kosmo didn't make a sound, he had already moved, standing several meters away from Xia Yuan to prevent himself from crushing Xia Yuan, the senior who taught him how to transform, and to face Bronya directly.

Kosmo clenched his fists.

"Transformation! Artificial Collapse Form!"

Kosmo lost its original human form. Bronya watched as the boy in front of her suddenly transformed into a giant Honkai Beast with a tail, and felt a sense of unease.

"Is this the outside help you, you idiot subordinate, hired?"

Engaging in combat with the enemy right now will definitely take a lot of time, and by then my incompetent subordinate will be long gone. I should have known better than to knock Kiana unconscious and brought her here instead...

Bronya had no intention of getting entangled with Kosmod; she planned to catch her foolish subordinate first.

The Kosmo, now in a man-made collapse posture, had curled up into a circle and charged straight at Bronya like a dump truck. Frustrated, Bronya had no choice but to leap into the air, temporarily abandoning her earlier thought.

Xia Yuan looked at the scene before him with satisfaction.

He waved goodbye to Bronya in the distance, but Xia Yuan was still holding the videotape in his waving hand. The chance encounter with Kosmo had really helped him a lot.

He didn't know how long he had been walking, but the surrounding fog not only didn't dissipate, it became even thicker. Xia Yuan couldn't find the square for a long time, and instead completely lost his way in the thick fog.

Just then, a gear-shaped building that appeared and disappeared in the mist caught Xia Yuan's attention. He vaguely remembered that someone seemed to be imprisoned deep in the dungeon beneath this building.

Xia Yuan believed that the person imprisoned deep in the dungeon was almost certainly Aunt Mei.

Since the fog shows no sign of dissipating, why not go deep into the dungeon and rescue Aunt Mei? That way, we might at least regain some of her goodwill.

Chapter 284 Aunt Mei, Imprisoned

Without further ado, Xia Yuan arrived at the front of the building's main entrance.

crunch--

Imaginary creatures stood on both sides, but they did not attack Xia Yuan after seeing him. Instead, the main entrance of the building opened slowly and deliberately, as if they were waiting for the next challenger to appear.

A display made of gears and a projection of Vilvie appeared in front of Xia Yuan.

"Hi~ Dear Mr. Xia Yuan, it's been a long time. Have you missed me? You know, the main personality really, really misses you, Mr. Xia Yuan. And me? I want to play a game with you, Mr. Xia Yuan."

Velvi leaned forward, a smile on her face, hands on her hips, and it was easy to tell from her pupils that her current personality was [The Magician].

Snapped--!

With a snap of her fingers.
