Chapter 197 - Chapter 4: Mei: I Can Offer Money!

Last night, Veliona was on duty.

Originally, she could use the connection of the Key of Revelations to observe the night of Nagazora City or watch Luo Lin and Fu Hua lying on the bed.

However, the Divine Key was taken by Luo Lin to deal with an emergency situation in the consciousness world (meaning the situation was urgent, so she directly brought it into the system), and there was a thick barrier between the Sea of Quanta and the real world.

Without the assistance of the Divine Key, Veliona couldn't perceive the situation in the real world, so she could only boredly blow bubbles in the Sea of Quanta.

After half a day, it was time to change shifts. Seele woke up from her sleep and curiously asked Veliona what happened yesterday. Veliona replied, "Luo Lin used the Divine Key all night, and now it's still occupied, so I can't connect at all..."

Seele noticed a slight hint of annoyance on Veliona's face. Perhaps it was because last night should have been her precious experience of observing the real world alone. Unfortunately, Luo Lin took the Divine Key and left Veliona boredly watching the Sea of Quanta all night.

Seele comforted Veliona a few words and then said, "Maybe Luo Lin is busy... Why don't you rest for a while? I'll stay here, and when she opens the Divine Key link, I'll wake you up?"

"Can only do that..." Veliona nodded helplessly, closed her eyes, and her figure blurred, floating beside Seele like a guardian spirit. Her body emitted a few points of light, enveloping Seele.

This was a new ability Veliona discovered, which could protect Seele while she rested, concealing their traces in the Sea of Quanta and expelling any strange things that emerged from the sea.

She generously shared this skill with Seele, who quickly learned it. When Seele rested, she could also float beside Veliona—after all, they were both favored by the Sea of Quanta.

With Veliona resting, Seele had nothing else to do. She finally focused her gaze on the Sea of Quanta where she had been staying all along.

Perhaps before being infused with energy and taken away by the Sea of Quanta, Seele was just relying on Veliona's company, watching the boundless Sea of Quanta, and missing her sister Bronya in her heart, living a simple yet resilient life...

But now, their life in the Sea of Quanta had gained a good companion like Luo Lin, and they could even observe the scenery of the real world through the Divine Key held by the girl.

If Seele and Veliona were to return to their previous lonely state, they definitely wouldn't last as long in the Sea of Quanta.

"Sister Luo Lin, when will you come back..."

Seele looked at the ebb and flow of the Sea of Quanta, and at the calm face of the sleeping Veliona...

She waited and waited, until finally, the Divine Key responded to her call.

Seele eagerly connected back, watching as Luo Lin made breakfast over there, chatting with Kiana and Fu Hua... It seemed like there was a new resident in her mind?

"Hello, I am the Herrscher of Sentience... Of course, you can call me Senti."

"Um, hello, Sister Senti..."

Seele's eyes wandered slightly, looking somewhat terrified.

Senti quietly communicated with Luo Lin: "This child is really prone to anxiety!"

"Sigh, I really need to find Bronya as soon as possible. Otherwise, it's hard to feel at ease with Seele like this..."

While Herrscher of Sentience and Seele were conversing, Luo Lin, Fu Hua, and Kiana finished breakfast.

The black-haired girl directly used the Edge of Edge of Taixuan to sweep around the pots and pans, making all the oil stains and residues disappear, leaving Fu Hua beside her stunned.

Luo Lin held up a shiny plate and showed off, "How about that? Edge of Taixuan, pretty amazing, right?"

"You... require quite a bit of control for this..."

The corners of the celestial's mouth twitched. She had seen many people studying to enhance the lethality of Edge of Taixuan and manipulate its Ki, but she had never seen anyone using it to wash dishes.

"Hehe, come on, Kiana, let's go to school."

"Ah, oh!"

Kiana obediently followed Luo Lin out, and Fu Hua followed for a few steps before saying, "I'll go contact Bishop Otto and have him send someone over..."

Luo Lin stumbled, almost falling to the ground.

Hearing Otto's name out of nowhere really startled the girl. But after careful consideration, Fu Hua's relationship with Otto shouldn't have deteriorated yet, so...

"You should report everything that happened before to the bishop, right?"

"Yeah, Bishop Otto asked me to stay in Nagazora City and assist you with Herrscher-related affairs..."

Looking at Fu Hua's innocent face, Luo Lin sighed.

It's a mixed blessing, still unavoidable...

Well, however Otto comes, she can only go deeper into the abyss, do more tasks, and make herself stronger as soon as possible. At least she should strive for some initiative in cooperation, right?

Sentie whispered, "You seem really afraid of Otto, huh? Do you need me to give him a punch, like in those 'plots' you know?"

"Uh, forget it."

Fu Hua strolled away, and Luo Lin and Kiana rode their bikes towards Senba Academy.

Next, they faced the teacher's question: "What did you do yesterday? You were absent all day..."

"Well..."

Kiana had always been obediently attending classes, although her grades were not good, her attitude was very upright. Facing this question, Kiana apologized repeatedly, making the teachers feel embarrassed one by one. In the end, they just gave verbal warnings and let it go.

Seeing this scene, Luo Lin couldn't help but admire Kiana's precise psychological grasp.

As for Luo Lin?

She splurged money, giving red envelopes to all the teachers. There were many students in Senba Academy who didn't do the right thing, so everyone just smiled at each other and let it pass.

The morning passed relatively calmly like this, but Luo Lin noticed that Mei was a bit restless.

However, her modern affluent etiquette training had made her restlessness less apparent. She occasionally cast her gaze at Luo Lin and Kiana, seeming very concerned about them.

Soon it was lunchtime, and Mei was surrounded by a group of followers as usual.

She reluctantly entertained them and took some time to shake them off. When she finally got rid of them, she looked around and found that Luo Lin and Kiana were nowhere to be seen.

She quickly walked to the window of the classroom and saw Kiana and Luo Lin had already returned from the cafeteria, cooling off in the shade. Kiana was still holding a piece of bread, looking like she hadn't eaten enough.

Mei took a deep breath and walked downstairs quickly, her target very clear.

"Um um um um..."

The black-haired girl stood in front of Kiana and Luo Lin, her face flashing with excitement and fervor.

"What, uh, Luo Lin and Kiana... Please help me, go further in the extraordinary world!"

"?"

"Of course, I can pay! A lot of money!"

What a statement from a wealthy lady!
