Honkai Impact 3rd, Paradise Typewriter isn't for making this kind of game.

The Lady of Knowledge crossed her arms in front of her chest and turned her head slightly to the side. That was all... She wouldn't be moved at all.

Chapter 494 This fight is going to be a good one!

[But Herrscher of Knowledge, you weren't like this in front of Fu Hua before. I remember back then, after Fu Hua praised you, your smile became much brighter.]

"Shut up! Say one more word and you're having dinner tonight!"

The little black kite immediately covered its mouth with its wings, and it would never say another word about the embarrassing things that the leader of the Law of Knowledge did, unless it couldn't help itself.

"Ahem... First, let me tell you what your needs are, sir."

"However, sir, I must make this clear beforehand: payment in kind is absolutely out of the question. If you really insist on payment in kind, then you might as well roast and eat that little black kite you're holding. Don't let its appearance fool you, it's quite plump."

The little black kite in his arms looked up at Xia Yuan pitifully.

Whether it can see Fu Hua and the others again depends entirely on this guest. Looking at the innocent little black kite's eyes, Xia Yuan comforted it while making his request to the Herrscher of Knowledge.

"I want Xiaoshi to fight for me."

"Fight? You should have said so earlier, sir~ I'm the best at fighting. Tell me who I want to beat up, as long as they're under 100cm tall, you can choose any one of us in the entire Sky Dome City." The Herrscher of Knowledge stretched her body, eager to try.

If the customer had stated his needs earlier, she wouldn't have had to hide so far away.

but.....

If the customer has offended someone powerful with a strong background, could she possibly ask for an extra fee?

The Herrscher of Knowledge, wanting to supplement her family's income, was making her own plans, while the Herrscher of Domination, covered in dust and dirt, slowly crawled out from the pile of rubble that had collapsed on her.

She immediately searched for Xia Yuan's whereabouts, and when she saw him, she breathed a sigh of relief. She thought her older brother had disappeared again.

I said, "Big brother, can't we just have a calm and rational conversation?"

Is it really necessary to fight to the death... to the point of mutual destruction? It would be so much better if you just obediently became one of us. It wouldn't hurt you, big brother. All we need to do is get Kiana to hand over the power of the End.

"No."

Xia Yuan answered decisively and pointed to the rubble where the Herrscher of Domination was, saying to the Herrscher of Knowledge beside him, "Little Knowledge, the person you want to beat up has appeared. As for how to beat him up, do whatever makes you happy."

"Uh... sir, beating them is no problem, but why do I feel like the other person looks familiar? Have I seen them somewhere before? Hey, sir, where do you think you're planning to sneak off with my little black kite?"

The Herrscher of Knowledge sized up the height difference between herself and the other person, "Heh, a shorty." She could take the job, but as soon as she turned around, she found that Xia Yuan had already quietly run towards the city with his little black kite and the girl beside him.

"Sir, you're not planning to sneak away and leave me here alone to cover for you, are you?"

Faced with Xiao Shi's suspicious expression, perhaps having learned the essence of being tricked by the other party many times, Xia Yuan, seeing that Xiao Shi had seen through him, had already come up with a reason without blushing or panting: "How could that be? I'm just worried about affecting your performance, Xiao Shi. I'm just getting in the way anyway, so I might as well go and call for help. Shi Bao, you just need to stall for time as much as possible until Xi'er arrives."

"Huh? Why insist on waiting until Seele arrives? I could take down someone like her with a single finger. Back when I was just born, I single-handedly suppressed three Herrschers."

The Lady of Knowledge, who reigns supreme in the heavens and earth, is boasting about her past glories.

[Ha, aren't you afraid of biting off more than you can chew? You who understand the rules, do you think I'm still the same person I used to be?]

"You before?"

At first glance, the voice seemed somewhat familiar, and judging from the other person's disheveled appearance... Lady Herrscher of Knowledge finally recognized that this was none other than her old acquaintance, the Herrscher of Domination.

Ms. Shi Zhilu immediately slapped her thigh.

"Hey, who am I supposed to beat up as a guest? So you're the defeated underling Kiana from before. But looking at your disheveled appearance, I didn't recognize you at all. If it weren't for the Herrscher Core on you, I would have thought you were some newly emerged Herrscher of Coal."

Clearly, no one is better at mocking the enemy than the Herrscher of Knowledge.

Enraged, the Herrscher of Domination rushed to Xiao Shi's side and threw punch after punch, but all of them were blocked by the Herrscher of Domination's little finger, which was covered by the Tai Xu Sword Qi.

"See? I said I'd use one finger, and I meant one. I won't use more than one. Please, Herrscher of Domination, put in a little more effort! You're so weak, like you haven't eaten. Why don't you unleash your rabble and let me see how many moves it takes to dismantle it?"

Seeing that the opponent's soft little fists had no force when they hit her, Lady Herrscher of Knowledge decided to stop defending altogether.

"Ha~ I'm so sleepy from playing."

Ms. Shizhi Luzhe yawned listlessly, wondering what the customer meant by letting her bully such a child. She wasn't the kind of person who would bully the weak, but bullying a child... it would be a very worthwhile deal to wipe the slate clean of past grievances.

"Could you please give me a back massage, lean down a bit... Yes, right there? With that kind of strength, it's a shame you're not opening a shop. How about joining the great Herrscher of Knowledge to get rich and powerful together?"

The Herrscher of Knowledge even planned to recruit the Herrscher of Domination to join her... grand scheme.

[Shut up, you bastard without the Herrscher's Soul!]

Xia Yuan, holding Yuexia's hand, watched the scene unfold quietly like a spectator... He also covered the girl's eyes with his hand, as such a scene was too violent for little Yuexia and children shouldn't watch it.

It seems that even with the power of corruption, the Herrscher of Domination does not possess very strong offensive capabilities.

Xiao Shi, possessing Fu Hua's memories, martial arts skills, and a Divine Key, is practically a hexagonal warrior. But would the Herrscher of the Void really do such a futile effort? Why would she abandon her advantages and insist on engaging in close combat with Xiao Shi?

"Are these chains?"

At the same time, wherever the Herrscher of Consciousness touched, a large number of chains suddenly appeared around her, firmly fixing her limbs and body to the spot.

Chapter 495 Bullying Shi Bao?

Clang—

The chain rattled as the Lady of Knowledge pulled it.

"I'm saying, you wouldn't be thinking of restraining the great Herald of Knowledge and then using your power of control, would you?"

"I advise you to save your mind. We're all old friends, everyone knows your background. If you can steal my Herrscher core, I'll change the name of the Herrscher of Original Knowledge backwards!"

[Who said we're old friends? Besides, I don't care about your broken Herrscher core. My only goal has always been my older brother. I'm not a naive fool like you, knowing full well that you're a Herrscher of consciousness... and still stupidly letting yourself be dragged into your consciousness space.]

"Who are you calling a naive little fool? Even the old relic has never said that to me!" The chains binding the Herrscher of Knowledge rattled as they swayed. Seeing the fingers so close to hers, the Herrscher of Knowledge didn't hesitate and simply bit down.

This isn't a children's fight; we're all adults, so of course we should resolve this in an adult way.

[Ugh... Let go, let go already! Are you a dog or something?!]

The Herrscher of Domination, who had struggled to break free, couldn't help but put her flattened finger in her mouth. This was the doll body that her older brother had painstakingly pieced together for her. After being bitten like this, the doll's arm was probably ruined.

"You've obviously never been in a fight before. If you're going to fight to the death, of course you'll use every means possible. If you can't move your limbs and body, of course you'll use the parts that can move. If you're so capable, why don't you gag me too?"

Shi Bao continued to mock the Herrscher of Domination.

[Hmph, why do you think I'd even approach you, you naive little fool? Let's see if you can break free of your chains now!]

"What's so difficult about that? I was just teasing them earlier, I wasn't really going all out. I could easily break free if I just used a little force!"

The Herrscher of Knowledge, bound by chains, tried to break free, but with each effort, her voice grew fainter and fainter, until her face turned red, yet she still could not completely escape the chains binding her.

Why don't you break free?

However, the Herrscher of Knowledge did not respond at this moment.

[Eek~ You dared to bite me, you naive little fool? Are you going to bite me now or not? Having fused with the power of erosion, besides possessing an infinitely regenerating puppet, I can certainly use this power elsewhere.]

The Herrscher of Domination reached out and slapped Shi Bao's bottom like she was disciplining a child.

Although the force of the Herrscher of the Void was like a tickle to the treasure, it was extremely insulting, especially in front of the guests. However, the little black kite had already consciously covered its eyes with its wings, which was enough to show its desire to survive.

Having been publicly humiliated like this, Ms. Shizhi was on the verge of exploding with rage, like an inflated balloon ready to burst at any moment...

"You have successfully angered the great Herrscher of Knowledge!"

Xiao Shi was gathering her strength, preparing to break free of her restraints in one go. Once she got out, she was determined to use the sword box to bury the other person in the ground.

click-

The chain binding her right shoulder snapped, secretly delighting the Herrscher of Knowledge. Once she broke free of the shackles, she was determined to beat the Herrscher of Domination in front of her senseless.

Before Shi Bao could even feel happy for half a second, an even stronger chain wrapped around her right shoulder again, rendering her unable to move.

"Hey... I just don't believe it!"

The Herrscher of Knowledge once again put up a fight with it, but no matter how hard she tried, the broken chains would continuously repair and restore itself. Exhausted, Knowledge gradually gave up struggling and glared at the Herrscher of Domination in front of it, its face flushed.

"What a despicable and underhanded tactic! If you've got the guts, untie me, and I'll smash you into the ground with my headbutt!"

[Oh dear, which naive fool was saying they'd fight by any means necessary? Where did their arrogance go?]

Feeling the painless yet extremely humiliating attack on her buttocks, Lady Herrscher clenched her hands, her face filled with rage.

"You are a man who can be killed but not humiliated!"

So what if I insult you? Go ahead and try to break free!

At this moment, the Herrscher of Knowledge had completely lost her previous arrogance, looking pitifully in Xia Yuan's direction as if she were looking for her parents. "Sir, why didn't you tell me that the Herrscher of Domination had already stolen the power of corruption?"

"But you didn't ask, Xiao Shi..."

Seeing the other person's pitiful expression, Xia Yuan looked away shyly, not daring to meet their gaze. He would just have to praise Shi Bao in front of Fu Hua when he got back; even if he hadn't done anything special, he had at least put in the effort.

Judging from the current situation—

The Herrscher of Domination can only restrain Shi Bao's actions, but cannot break through her defenses. What should I do next? While the Herrscher of Domination's attention is currently focused on Shi Bao, should I take Xiao Yue down to the city to fetch reinforcements?

Just then, a faint, ethereal figure in the distance caught Xia Yuan's attention.

"That is?!"

The appearance of the figure not far away gave Xia Yuan a sense of security; he and Xiaoyue were already rescued.

[Oh dear, what a terrible memory I have! I was so focused on disciplining this naive little fool, how could I forget my dear big brother? Now, big brother, you should surrender, right?]

"Hey, you can say whatever you want, but don't kick my butt. If the other Seele finds out, she'll laugh at me to death..."

[Heh, serves you right for being so arrogant, Herrscher of Knowledge. But I don't have time to deal with you right now. Just wait to be devoured by those restless Honkai Beasts in the suburbs~]

The Herrscher of Domination gave Shi Bao one last kick, and perhaps feeling it wasn't enough, she added a few more whiskers and graffiti to his cheek. After doing all this, she admired her masterpiece with satisfaction, and then walked towards the older brother she had been looking forward to.

Big brother, I'm here!

But to her surprise, the other person showed no sign of panic, and was even unmoved by her approach.

This is very wrong...

This time, the older brother didn't run away.

All these signs gave the Herrscher of the Void a very bad feeling, and just then, Xia Yuan suddenly squatted down.

The Herrscher's pupils were widening, and deep within them, a hopping little deer was rapidly approaching her from behind her older brother. She had realized that Seele had arrived, but it was too late.

Chapter 496 You naughty guy, why are you being so mushy?

She wanted to reach out and touch her older brother's body, but the distance that was so close now seemed so far after Seele arrived.

But then it seemed that the Herrscher was moving away from Xia Yuan. It was the deer spirit beside Seele that pushed her away. A white light flashed, and her consciousness gradually separated from the doll's body.

I still have a chance, I can make a comeback, and I will definitely not give up so easily!

Clang—

The Herrscher of Domination collapsed heavily. From her doll-like body, a substance resembling a soul or consciousness was being slowly drawn into by Seele's scythe, radiating an unusual beauty. In a daze... it was impossible to distinguish who the villain was for a moment.

"Xiao Yuan, are you alright?"

Xi'er squatted down in front of Xia Yuan and gently placed her hand on his shoulder.

Seeing the worried look on Seele's face, Xia Yuan snapped out of his daze and said, "I'm fine. I'm sorry to have worried you, Seele. But you arrived just in time. If you had been any later, I probably would have become the prisoner of the Herrscher of Domination."

Perhaps finally free from the pursuit of the Herrscher, Xia Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but embrace Seele in his arms.

"Eh? Little... Little Yuan."

A blush crept onto Seele's cheeks as she looked somewhat bewildered at Xia Yuan, who was embracing her tightly. She noticed the faint scar on his palm, and then, as if remembering something, she gently stroked his curly hair.

"Xiao Yuan, you must have suffered a lot on your journey, right? It's alright now, Seele is here~ I won't let the Herrscher of Domination hurt you again, Seele will protect you and everyone else."

"Thank you, Seele."

Just as Xia Yuan was about to continue indulging in the gentle embrace of Xi'er, he was suddenly pulled out of her arms by a strange force from behind.

"You little rascal, you've gotten addicted to snuggling in Seele's arms, haven't you? That's a place only I can enjoy. Get out of here... We still have a ton of scores to settle!"

Miss Hei hope angrily dragged Xia Yuan away from Xi'er like a chick.

You can imagine how angry she was...

But after the incident with the Herrscher of Dominion, seeing his old friend, Ms. Kurohime, again filled Xia Yuan with a sense of nostalgia and warmth. Without giving her a chance to get angry, Xia Yuan immediately embraced Ms. Kurohime and whispered in her ear, "Ms. Kurohime, it's been so long. I missed you so much..."

"You rascal, what nonsense are you spouting? Damn, why are you being so mushy!"

Ms. Hei hope, who had been holding back her anger, was taken aback by Xia Yuan's sudden embrace. The anger she had intended to vent and question him gradually transformed into a strange emotion that quietly spread across her cheeks.

"Hmph, I didn't mean to think about you, you bad guy. And get up right now!"

“Seele is still watching. You bad guy, you're all dirty and covered in dust. After you rubbed Seele, you rubbed me too. You've ruined my perfectly good new clothes. You bad guy, are you trying to drag me and Seele down with you so we look like we just escaped from a mine?”

Although Miss Kuroki's tone was somewhat forceful, her toes were spinning back and forth, gradually wearing the flat ground into dents. Her mind seemed to be in turmoil.
