However, when it comes to the future... she wanted to ask her colleagues what their plans were.
"Himeko, what are your plans for the future? Do you want to continue working as an instructor at St. Freya Academy, or come to Schicksal to help me with official business?" Theresa extended an invitation to her former colleague.
With Himeko sharing the official duties, she can legitimately slack off.
No... I mean, I should spend more time researching the most delicious bitter melon juice recipe!
"What are your plans for the future?"
Aunt Himeko seemed to have thought of something, and looked at Xia Yuan beside her.
He instinctively sensed something and took a large step forward to leave enough space so as not to disturb the two of them catching up.
"Hey buddy, why are you hiding so far away? Come on, come closer."
Himeko skillfully hooked her arm around Xia Yuan's shoulder, pulling him close to her face, their cheeks pressed against each other, making them appear incredibly close together.
"Since it was you who brought me back, I'll live with you from now on, Theresa, what do you think?"
The bishop choked on the bitter melon juice he had just drunk and vomited it up again.
"Cough cough......."
Even Xia Yuan was in shock. Go with him? Absolutely not. First of all, Ya Ya would never let him go. Secondly, he had already lured away all of Aunt Himeko's students. Would he not even let go of the students' teachers?
Theresa wiped the remaining green liquid from the corner of her mouth. What was so good about this bastard anyway?
She knew that Himeko had longed for a good man to settle down with, but this guy who slept in the same sleeping bag as little Gretchen was absolutely, absolutely, absolutely out of the question!
This man is very dangerous.
She kidnapped all her lovely students!
In order to persuade her former colleague to stop before it was too late, Theresa quickly advised:
"Himeko, don't be fooled by his sweet talk! This guy isn't as good as you think, and he's definitely not a good man. If you want to find a partner, I can introduce you to someone. The Destiny Database has population statistics for all cities, and there are plenty of high-quality men suitable for marriage. As long as I give the order, I guarantee that the people pursuing you will line up from Destiny headquarters to the lunar base."
"If it's not that good, then why did you invite the young man to take a nap with you, Theresa?"
"I...you...he...!"
Theresa was so angry she almost fainted, and she became somewhat incoherent.
What do you mean she invited Xia Yuan to sleep? She had to sacrifice herself for the sake of the city's development; it was her duty as the Bishop of Destiny. How can you confuse the two?!
"I... I did that because I had no choice but to do it for the sake of the city's development! And who... who let that bastard make such a terrible request as taking a nap? If you don't believe me, Himeko, you can ask him yourself!"
"Wait, Your Excellency, you can't say things like that...!!!"
Chapter 642 Human, why don't you become the bishop?
Theresa can't wrong him, isn't it His Holiness the bishop who suggested taking a nap first?
At that time, he was clearly planning to refuse...
"Um?!"
Facing Theresa's murderous gaze, and even the faint, dangerous aura emanating from her body—a transformation from the Emperor-level Honkai Beast [Vishnu] after devouring dreams—he was met with a fierce stare.
Even outside of communication, Xia Yuan still felt a faint chill creeping through his body.
"Yes...it was I who invited His Holiness the Bishop to take a nap together."
Despite the suffocating atmosphere, he still lied through his teeth. After all, he didn't want to see the three scenarios of the future: Bronya chasing him around in her heavy bunny car because he had run away with Aunt Himeko, Mei on her way with a knife, and Qibao already aiming at him on the moon.
At the very least, Himeko-sensei absolutely cannot live with him!
Now that he has personally admitted that he spent a torturous yet wonderful night in a sleeping bag with a petite and adorable girl in his arms, Aunt Himeko should no longer follow him, right?
His reputation has plummeted. Despite bearing a strange nickname, he still has a mountain of unresolved issues to deal with: accompanying the Herrscher of Dominion, personally apologizing to Dr. Einstein and Timido, greeting Eden, and a whole host of other things...
But before one wave subsided, another arose.
Before the argument had even ended, Miss Spring Fairy had already joined the fray.
She had disliked this short bishop, whom the humans were talking about, ever since. How could a mere little guy call his beloved human a bastard? It was no different from slapping her in the face.
What's more, the other party used their aura to force her beloved human to compromise.
As a spirit of the spring, how could she bear to see her beloved human being bullied like this by outsiders? She simply couldn't swallow this insult.
Hmph, she's just standing up for humans!
An aura no less imposing than that of the bishop swept over them, forcefully suppressing Theresa's own imposing presence. "You short, bitter bishop, who gave you permission to bully my most beloved subject like this?"
Ah Quan squeezed to the front of the terminal, put his hands on his hips, and questioned the Bitter Gourd Bishop on the other end of the communication.
"Kiana?!"
However, the other party felt very different from Kiana. If I had to describe her, she was more like the Herrscher of the Void than Kiana. Xia Yuan, that scoundrel, how did he manage to seduce the Herrscher of the Void as well?
"Hmph, I'm not Kiana! I'm the omnipotent Spring Spirit, don't compare me to that idiot."
She's not that kind of silly, stupid girl!
Xia Yuan bears full responsibility for why A-Quan called Qi Bao an idiot. During that week, he told Miss Spring Fairy about Kiana, thus satisfying her curiosity.
"The spirit of the spring?"
However, considering the residents of the other world bubbles, Theresa seems to have already made progress. In her own search for a world bubble suitable for cultivating bitter gourd samples, she has discovered Magical Girl Theresa, Stargazing Theresa, and the vampire girl Moonlit Theresa who was placed in the Schicksal headquarters.
There are at least three individuals who are close to her personally.
Judging from the swimsuit she was wearing and the parasol floating behind her, she didn't have the aura of the Herrscher of the Void who looked down on everything and inspired fear. But that doesn't mean she could be called the short, bitter bishop!
Where is she short? She's been this height for all these years, okay?
Especially since the other party looks exactly like Kiana, and is just a mere niece, she has to make the other party understand what the warm care of an aunt is, even if it's a spring spirit soaking in another world.
"I'm not some short, bitter gourd! Cough cough... Listen up, I don't care if you're a spring spirit or a lake spirit, but in this world, you must abide by the rules and regulations, and you can't interrupt your elders when they're talking."
Theresa seemed to have transformed back into the headmistress she once was, exuding an air of authority and authority.
But clearly, the Spring Fairy didn't care at all. Instead, she was more concerned about something else: where exactly was this short, bitter gourd? "So that means you are the ruler here?"
The Spring Fairy extended her fingertip, even moving it slightly downwards, and pointed at the other's bitter gourd-shaped head, asking Xia Yuan beside her, "Human, tell me the exact location of this short, bitter-gour-shaped bishop, and I'll go and take care of her for you."
And then...
She appointed humans as the divinely ordained bishops of this place, and she became the bishop's wife.
"?!"
Theresa didn't expect the other party to attack so easily. What's the difference between this and the Herrscher of the Void? But they're underestimating her too much. It's been a while since she warmed up after becoming a bishop. It's time to pull out Judah and teach her disobedient niece a lesson!
"Hmph, I don't need you to come looking for me. Anyway, you're with that guy Xia Yuan, and I'm on my way here right now."
The situation was spiraling out of control.
Xia Yuan, who was being held by Aunt Himeko's arm, tried his best to look at Fairy Airi, hoping that she could help him think of a solution.
They saw the pleading look in their zookeeper's eyes.
The fairy Ellie patted her small chest, indicating that she was there for her.
Flying from mid-air to the terminal, she perched on the head of the Spring Fairy. "Now, Ellie has an announcement to make: from now on, Xia Yuan will be cared for solely by the Pink Fairy, and no one is allowed to have designs on him!"
"what?!"
No... Ellie, I told you to divert fire, not to draw fire!
Xia Yuan clutched his forehead in pain. Sure enough, Fairy Ai Li's high-profile speech immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.
"Little imp, who told you to climb on my head? Get down right now! Humans are my subjects, so of course I have to take care of them!" Miss Spring Fairy tried to lift the little guy off her head.
"Little one, it's not good to eat alone. Some things taste better when shared."
"Himeko is right!"
"Oh? I didn't expect our bishop to want a share too. As expected, with age comes an irresistible temptation of fresh grass."
Seeing her former colleague's teasing look again, Theresa blushed and explained:
"Don't misunderstand, I'm just worried that if this happens, Xia Yuan won't be able to accompany the Herrscher of Domination. Without his puppets to assist in the development, are you going to have Himeko do the crystal mining work?"
Chapter 643 She endured it!
"Theresa, please have mercy on me. When I used to lead students down into the mines, I was so tanned when we came back that they almost didn't recognize me."
Aunt Himeko began to complain.
Although she used to need strength to wield a giant sword and was well-suited for crystal mining work, her dusty and dirty appearance would have made her lose the opposite sex, there was still an inexplicable sense of nostalgia.
at the same time--
Miss Spring Fairy was still trying to pull the fairy Ellie off her head, shouting, "You wretched little fairy, get off my head right now!"
"Hmm~ How about we play a claw machine game? Miss Pink Fairy can be the plush toy, and A-Quan can be the claw machine, okay?" Fairy Airi dodged with ease, looking completely at ease.
"Stop it, all of you!"
Xia Yuan felt it was time to demonstrate his status as the head of the family.
Miss Spring Fairy's hands froze in mid-air as she looked at the other person. So, humans were going to make decisions for her after all? But before she could ask the humans to take the little one off her head, Aunt Himeko beside her beat her to it.
"Oh? Young man, have you thought about how you want to live with me in the future? If you're willing to go down into the mine with me and work hard, that's not out of the question."
Xia Yuan pushed away Aunt Ji Zi's arm, which was tightly holding him, without any expression on his face.
Mining is out of the question. I'll never mine in my life. Isn't it better to stay with Bronya and receive dividends from the shareholders' funds?
"First of all, Himeko-sensei, please meet with Kiana, Bronya, and Mei. It would be best if you could give them an unforgettable surprise. The other two are also at the lunar base. Since Kiana became the Herrscher of the End and cannot return to Earth, I hope you can spend some time with them when you have some free time at the lunar base."
"Since you've put it that way, sir, what reason do I have to refuse? But sir, don't forget our agreement. Remember to find me a drinking buddy. Drinking alone can get a bit lonely..."
She actually had a lot to say to Kiana.
It was a bit of a shame that the young man wouldn't let her go back with him. If the fresh grass wasn't picked in time, other cows that had heard the news might have gotten there first.
"Of course I haven't forgotten my promise to you, Himeko-sensei. I'll get in touch with you when I get back."
It seems that Aunt Himeko still considers Kiana and Bronya as children in her heart, even though they are already adults.
"Human, human, what about me~" the Spring Spirit asked expectantly.
"As for A-Quan, you will stay on the moon with Himeko-sensei for the time being. Also, you are forbidden from arguing with Theresa, fighting with her, and especially not going to Schicksal headquarters to fight her!"
Xia Yuan emphasized the precautions.
He feared that A-Quan would storm directly from the lunar base into the Destiny Headquarters, heading straight for the Bishop's position and leaving triumphantly.
Miss Spring Fairy's face was full of unhappiness.
She was the one standing up for the humans, yet they blamed her. She had never felt so wronged before. But this made Theresa on the other end of the communication overjoyed. She hadn't expected Xia Yuan to be so good after all... he actually took the initiative to speak up for her and stand on her side.
She admitted that the other person was far superior to Siegfried, who was always idle and did nothing.
“That’s right, children shouldn’t interrupt when our elders are discussing things.” She made a prohibition gesture with both hands, and in an instant, the bishop’s impression of Xia Yuan improved greatly.
【Favorability +50】
"And Theresa, you too."
"Um?!"
Theresa seemed to think she had misheard something.
Not only did the other party not address him as His Excellency the Bishop, but she also reprimanded him in the manner of an elder. How could this be? She was older than anyone else present!
[Favorability-100]
“Your Excellency, how old are you? Why are you still arguing and bickering with Ah Quan? If you keep arguing, I won’t keep my promise. Glaring at me won’t help!” He was the one who held the initiative.
Theresa ground her little fangs, making a sizzling sound inside the bridge.
Stirring the bitter gourd grinder she had just picked up from the floor with both hands, she angrily withdrew her almost murderous gaze. She took back what she had just said; this guy was far more of a bastard than Siegfried.
She actually used this method to threaten her, but the key is that she has no choice but to accept it.
Although she was old and her height only reached the other person's chest, her Judas-like strength and small fists were not to be underestimated. She would arrive at the lunar base in a few hours, and then she would see how she dealt with the other person.
"Don't be angry, don't be angry, don't be angry..."
Theresa tried to calm herself down, a stiff and forced smile on her small face.
"Hmm, that makes the atmosphere much better. Also, remember to prepare a few boxes of snacks as compensation for A-Quan when you arrive at the lunar base. Did you hear me, Your Excellency?"
"Yes, I understand."
