Alice in the Land of Steam

Chapter 1206 Are all girls’ hearts fickle?
Lingge didn't expect that the fire would burn himself.

Moreover, Saint Xia Liya's sudden question really caught him off guard. Out of caution, before answering, Ling Ge first observed the girl's expression and found that she was calm and didn't look angry. He was relieved. Although he didn't know why he was nervous, he subtly understood Avella's reaction just now.

He thought for a moment before replying, "I was in Alice's room last night, um, playing games with her. You know, she was in a bad mood, so I went to comfort her, that's all."

As for the fact that Alice cried, laughed, and finally fell asleep, these are all minor details and there is no need to explain them in detail.

"Really?" Saint Shallia nodded slightly, as if she didn't notice the guilty tone in the young man's voice: "What's the result?"

"As a result... Alice's mood has improved. Although she hasn't recovered yet, I don't think she will be as depressed as before." Ling Ge said cautiously. Although Alice's heart knot has begun to dissolve, people's emotions are very complicated. Sometimes just a look, a word, or even a thought can bring unexpected changes to it. Therefore, young people can only guarantee the present, not the future.

However, for Saint Shalia, this result was good enough.

And, the same goes for others.

"In that case, I will tell everyone the good news." She whispered, "What do you think we should do so that she can recover faster?"

"I think it's enough to be like before." Ling Ge paused and said, "It was even longer ago."

When they first met Alice, the genius player often asked others to play games with her, and she always liked to use tricks. Olvera was always very angry with her, but she would still agree the next time she invited her. Yieta would ease the atmosphere between the two of them, although she would occasionally be angry with Alice. Whenever this happened, Saint Charia would appear and teach Alice a lesson in her best way, and also teach her two sisters a lesson, because they always did not learn their lesson and fell for the same trick...

It sounds so wonderful! No wonder people say it would be great if they could go back to the past.

Although, Saint Shallia was not one of them. Because she felt that if everyone thought so, perhaps only by going back to the time when the universe was first created could everyone's wishes be satisfied, but who else would be there besides Mother at that time? He was so lonely, and in the end, he would also go the same way.

and so.

"I know what to do, Lingge." She smiled and seemed to be in a good mood.

This smile made Ling Ge feel completely relieved. He knew that the shepherdess's mind was not that deep. Since she could still smile, she must not be angry. So the young man could boldly ask the question he had been wanting to ask just now: "So, you already knew it, Saint Xia Liya?"

"What do you mean?" The girl looked up and looked at him quietly. There was a height difference of more than ten centimeters between them. From this angle, Ling Ge could easily see her flawless forehead under her blue bangs.

"That's right, it's about me and Ovilla." Ling'er's tone was a little unnatural when he said this, because he felt that this statement... was too weird, and it was no different from the love affairs between men and women that the people in White City talked about with relish.

So the question is, in this matter, who is loyal, who is treacherous, and who is taking advantage of the situation?
Well, I can’t get too involved. Linger forced himself to dismiss these ridiculous thoughts and wait for the girl’s answer.

The answer is, "In the beginning."

Ling Gefu asked: "When did it start?"

"From the very beginning." Saint Xia Liya smiled and said, "Ovira is really not good at hiding her thoughts, but you are just the opposite, Ling Ge. When you two get together, it is inevitable that you will attract some attention, such as Miss Xie Liya, and... me?"

I knew it.

Ling Ge was so angry that he fell back. It was indeed the bartender who told the secret. After all, she was the one who slept the latest in the entire Fairy Sleep Inn except for Ovilla. She was behind the bar every night toying with her masterpieces. It was inevitable that she would have intersections with Ovilla who also stayed up late and Ling Ge who had to stay up with her. But the problem was that this guy claimed to be Ovilla's close friend, so how could he betray her so easily?

Well, if the other party is Saint Xia Liya, it is not difficult to understand. Although it is a bit unfair to Her Royal Highness to say this, but between betraying Aoweila and betraying Saint Xia Liya, normal people know which choice to make.

What, you said that I was just helping Ovella keep a secret, and that’s not considered betrayal?

Then you probably haven't understood what "the eldest sister's obligations" are.

And Saint Shalia understood it very thoroughly.

Linger glanced at her and said, "I didn't mean to hide it for her. I just thought you would mind."

"What do you mind?" Saint Shallia asked with a smile.

“Ahem.” Ling Ge looked away, looking a little embarrassed where she couldn’t see him. “He minded his sister being alone in a room with a member of the opposite sex, or he misunderstood that I was the one who made Aoweila stay up late… that’s about it.”

To be fair, if something similar happened to Metien, Lingge would never tolerate it, and Saint Charity's desire to protect her sister is no less than that of this young man.

but.

"You seem to have forgotten one thing, Lingge." Saint Xia Liya smiled and said, "This is not the first time you and Olvera have done this. If I were to mind, I should have noticed it when I was in Nimsher City."

After she said that, the young man recalled that he and Olvera had stayed in the same room on their first night in Nimsher. Of course, neither of them slept that night, and now... it's better not to mention it.

Saint Xia Liya said, "Besides, I believe you and Aoweila must have a reason for doing that. As a sister, I can't just stop you and regard such arbitrary behavior as concern. I can only protect you silently when she can't see. So Lingge, I actually saw everything you and Aoweila did secretly. Don't take this opportunity to have bad intentions towards her. If that happens, even if it's you, I won't be polite, okay?"

Don't say such scary things in a joking tone!

Ling Ge felt helpless and depressed. He felt that his character was being questioned. Of course, more importantly, "Compared to my ill intentions towards that guy, don't you think the possibility of the other way around is greater?"

She had already prepared the sheets and pillows in advance, just waiting for me to fall into her trap.

"Well, it seems so." Saint Xia Liya found that Ling's worries were more reasonable. Her sister was not a quiet character. Strictly speaking, all sisters were not like that. It's just that some did not hide it at all, some covered it up better, and some covered it up as if they were not hiding anything, but still thought they covered it up well.

Olvera is the last type. "In that case," the girl said with a sidelong glance at Ling Ge, "How about I accompany you next time you go to her room? Let me protect you from Olvera, and protect Olvera from you at the same time, right?"

Who is protecting whom? You should make it clear first.

Lingge was speechless. He felt that Saint Xia Liya was unexpectedly...lively today, and even joked with him. Perhaps it was because Alice's mood had improved that her mood had also improved. It wasn't just the young people who silently contributed to this team. As the eldest sister of the Girl King, Saint Xia Liya was under no less pressure than others, especially after she learned the truth about the past.

As long as she is happy, it doesn’t matter if she is teased a few times.

should be.

"By the way," the shepherdess suddenly said, "Olvera in the past, Alice last night, and Yieta... Lingge seems to be getting more and more skilled at coaxing girls to sleep. This makes me a little worried."

"What are you worried about?" Ling Ge seemed calm, but he was actually in deep despair. Why did Yieta keep talking nonsense everywhere? Was there no one on this sky island who could control his mouth?
Saint Xia Liya raised her head, narrowed her beautiful eyes, and said meaningfully: "Of course I am worried, will you apply this experience to more girls?"

"Absolutely impossible."

The young man responded with a serious face, firmly defending his pure and noble character: "Olvera, Ieta, and Alice are all special circumstances. They have no choice but to do this. This is, um, a method of psychological treatment. If you don't believe me, you can ask Metien."

In order to increase his credibility, he even brought up his sister. His sister would always say a few good words for her brother. She couldn't be as loud-mouthed as other people and tell everything.

"Really?" Saint Xia Liya disagreed. Obviously, this kind of talk was not trustworthy in her heart. Of course, she believed that it was not Ling'er's fault. He really had no choice. "What if there are other people who need your psychological treatment in the future, Ling?"

"this--"

Lingge hesitated for a moment. It was impossible for him to make a clear statement because what Saint Xia Liya said was very likely to happen. For example, what happened to Bai Ye last night. Although Bai Ye fell asleep in the end, it was not because he coaxed her to sleep. It should be said that he was intimidated... But these are details and there is no need to care too much about them.

In short, as long as there are people who need their "psychological treatment", young people are unlikely to ignore it given their personalities.

Fortunately, Saint Shallia did not say this to get his guarantee.

“I was just kidding.” She changed the subject and said with a smile, “You don’t have to think so seriously, Lingge. Anyway, just do what you want. I absolutely, absolutely, absolutely won’t mind.”

Is it really a joke?
I heard a warning.

Looking at the smile on the blue-haired girl's face, Ling'er felt a chill on his back for some reason.

He wanted to ask whether the last sentence was true or sarcastic, but he thought it would be better to remain silent at this time. Before the young man made a decision, Saint Xia Liya said, "Okay, let's talk about it here. I'll go downstairs to see how Olvera is doing. See you later, Lingge."

She smiled and waved to the young man, then turned and walked towards the stairs, leaving Lingge alone in a daze, silently watching her back as she walked away. Until the footsteps completely disappeared in the corridor, he suddenly realized: Wasn't he going downstairs too?

However, it seems too late to leave now.

Because the sound of a door opening suddenly came from behind, followed by a cold voice: "I have said it before, her gentleness is just an act. She is definitely, definitely, definitely a very scary person."

The visitor used three "absolutes" in a row. It was unknown whether it was to echo Saint Shallia's words just now, but the fear in his tone was obvious. In the entire Cloud Whale Sky Island, only one person dared to use such a tone to criticize Saint Shallia (although he deliberately waited until she left before making such a comment), so the young man knew her identity without even guessing.

He turned around and saw the gray-haired girl leaning against the door with her arms folded across her chest, looking at him with disdain.

Have you discussed this? After Metien left, it was Olvera, after Olvera left, it was Saint Shalia, after Saint Shalia left, it was White Night, and next, wouldn't there be Rorona Shinoleticia?

"What's that look in your eyes?"

The young man felt helpless, but Bai Ye was actually more helpless than him, and he was also a little resentful: "I got up early and saw you, do you think I am happy? If that guy hadn't been blocking the door, I would have kicked you down long ago, so that you wouldn't be blocking the way at the stairs."

Well, it was a very impolite attitude, but considering what I did to her last night, it was understandable.

And, was she awake a long time ago, and just hid behind the door and eavesdropped because she didn't want to face Saint Shalia? If so, she couldn't have heard everything that I had just said to Saint Shalia, and even to Ovira?
Girl, don't you know that there are some things that you should pretend not to hear even if you hear them?

Otherwise, it would be very dangerous...

"W-What do you want to do!?"

Seeing the young man's meaningful eyes, Bai Ye's mind suddenly emerged with some bad memories. Even so, it was just something that happened last night, and it was still very deep for her. She didn't know when she had changed from crossing her arms to pressing against the door. She even wished she hadn't closed the door at all, so that she could escape back to the room without having to face those painful and humiliating memories.

"Don't come over here!"

The gray-haired girl screamed in fear: "If you come over here again, I will call you Sister Xiao Xia!"

But I didn't get close to you at all.

And, if I remember correctly, you just called Saint Shalia "that guy", right?

Sure enough, girls’ hearts are the most fickle.

The young man was so emotional.

Give me some meow
