I am a female swordsman.

But Huang Quan still acted a little temperamental. She had originally planned to make breakfast today, but now that breakfast was gone, she was happy to have some free time.

the other side.

Upon hearing that breakfast was gone, Midis rubbed her nose. Oh well, she could just order takeout. She wasn't short of money anyway, so she readily accepted the large sum of unexplained cash her niece had acquired as her own asset and happily opened her phone to order takeout.

If Huang Quan saw this scene, he would probably have a heart attack from anger.

"...A new restaurant serving stir-fried octopus? They even have a discount, I guess I'll give it a try."

………………

Boom boom boom!

"Huang Quan, open the door for Auntie." Midis, who was lying on the sofa playing on her phone, rolled over, looking like she was ordering Huang Quan around. Free labor is free, Midis suddenly understood why Supervisor Natalia liked to boss her around so much.

"Ah."

Picking up takeout was something she had done plenty of for her roommates in college in her previous life, so she didn't feel like she was being bossed around.

"Hello, is this..." Huang Quan, who was about to say something to confirm the delivery as usual, suddenly stopped speaking, caught in a daze. She simply couldn't understand why the delivery guys in this world were wearing such strange clothes.

The figure, backlit by the sun, wore a mask depicting fangs and compound eyes, and a long brown robe. More like a member of some strange organization than a food delivery driver, a scrutinizing glint appeared in Huang Quan's crimson eyes at this thought.

"Hello, I'm not a bad person..."

Unexpectedly, the voice coming from behind the robe and mask was a woman's voice.

Timid and trembling under the unintentional pressure emanating from Huang Quan, she was filled with fear. To be honest, Huang Quan had quite a bit of blood on her hands, and her words and actions, tested by countless battles, sometimes revealed an unconscious, targeted tactic. These inconspicuous preparatory movements allowed Huang Quan to strike or subdue her opponent more easily, naturally causing those facing her to feel uneasy and uneasy.

"Are you here to deliver squid?" Although he didn't think that this outfit was likely for a food delivery person, Huang Quan still asked again, still not giving up.

"Squid?!"

The masked woman seemed to have heard something incredible; her previous weakness and fear vanished, replaced by a resolute determination to defend something extremely important.

"It's not squid, it's the touch of the great and wise Rost... not the words of Lord Rost, we mortals are merely fortunate enough to relay them!"

"Did you just mention tentacles?"

No, you misheard!

She ripped off the mask, revealing a puffed-up but undeniably cute face. Red hair, twin tails, and roughly the same age as Huang Quan. Huang Quan suddenly realized that this twin-tailed girl was here to proselytize; she'd encountered similar charlatans sometimes when she lived in the American West of the Divine Comedy world.

Huang Quan's approach is to ignore nonsense and simply kick people out.

With exceptionally strong willpower, Huang Quan took a half step back, intending to close the door and shut the missionary girl out, hoping she would give up on her own.

"Wait! I'm a bishop of the GBL Church, at least show me some basic respect!" The little girl, whose identity had suddenly shifted from missionary to bishop, cried out urgently, realizing Huang Quan was about to close the door. Huang Quan, with his expressionless face, ignored her and prepared to close the door.

"Huang Quan, why is it taking so long to pick up takeout?"

Mitis, growing impatient while waiting in the living room, went to the entryway and happened to witness the scene between Yomi and the twin-tailed bishop. Seeing her icy-faced niece and the pitiful-looking little girl who seemed to have been bullied, Mitis immediately understood. Her niece was bullying someone!

Chapter Twenty: Stir-fried Octopus

Legend has it that elders, when raising their offspring, will intentionally or unintentionally cultivate their wolf-like nature. When two lion cubs fight, the older male lion will not pay much attention, regardless of whether he wins or loses.

That's probably the mindset Mitis has right now.

Although it was quite possible that his own niece was bullying someone and making them cry, Midis did not immediately reprimand Huang Quan. Instead, he made a strange, teasing remark to his niece and then invited the twin-tailed bishop in.

The gist is...

Don't take it to heart when kids bicker. Auntie will give you a piece of candy, and we'll forget about it. From now on, we'll all be good friends.

Clearly, Mitis genuinely treated Huang Quan like a niece or junior. If they weren't family, she wouldn't have gone to such lengths to defuse a potential conflict for Huang Quan. However, in the eyes of Huang Quan and the twin-tailed bishop, Mitis's actions were undoubtedly unnecessary, treating them like children.

“I am Bishop Ophelia of the GBL Church. My missionary work here does not conflict with your niece. You are overthinking it.”

Holding a teacup, the bishop with twin ponytails naturally exudes an intimidating air.

"Do the bishops of your GBL church all go out and find believers on their own?"

Midis inquired about this GBL (Blue Truth Cult) out of curiosity. Generally speaking, even if a religion is in dire straits, it still needs to put on a show, right? It's the same principle as conning people; if you don't have the presence to completely convince them, who will listen to your con?

Therefore, regarding the bishop himself going out to find believers...

Midis was quite surprised; it would be incredibly difficult to gain followers with such substandard proselytizing methods.

“Yes, because the situation has been very worrying lately…” Ophelia’s expression darkened as if she had thought of something. The fact that even the bishop had been forced to seek out followers suggested that the “worrying situation” was far from optimistic; it was more likely that the GBL Church was facing a life-or-death crisis.

"I believe that every devout GBL believer is spiritually rich! They are just scattered in every corner of this ignorant world, waiting for my call!"

With her hands clasped tightly to her chest, Ophelia's face showed a look of sacred devotion.

Her infectious piety seemed to ignite the air around her, and Midis realized that this little girl was a believer with genuine faith. Though just a child, her unwavering conviction was enough to make one forget her age and treat her with utmost respect.

"So, do you two have any faith?"

The conversation then shifted back to missionary work. Clearly, Ophelia wanted to recruit both Yomi and Mitis into the GBL cult; both were, in a sense, exceptional individuals.

Yes, he's a talent when it comes to being pleasing to the eye.

Ophelia's envious gaze swept over the two towering peaks. These two silver-haired, red-eyed women were truly blessed; each possessed a unique charm, and their looks and figures were exceptional. If she had to point out a flaw, it would probably be that the short-haired one seemed to have an inexplicably listless and dispirited air about her.

"Let's forget about missionary work."

Midis shifted to a more comfortable position on the sofa, having absolutely no interest in joining the church or anything like that.

As for Huang Quan, needless to say, her icy attitude already spoke volumes about her decision. If she could be swayed by a few words from others, then she was unworthy to wield the sword that had accompanied her through countless battles. Undoubtedly, Ophelia's missionary plans had met with a resounding rebuff from Mitis and Huang Quan.

Ophelia was unwilling to accept this.

Just as she hesitated, wondering what to say, there was another knock on the apartment door.

"Ah, my delivery is here!" Midis clapped her hands happily. This was her first time trying this new restaurant, and if it wasn't good, she would never order from it again.

Two minutes later.

A steaming plate of stir-fried octopus was placed before the pale-faced Ophelia, who stared at Mitis in disbelief. His gaze was as if he were looking at some heinous demon in the underworld. It seemed this leader of the cult possessed some backbone; perhaps he held a belief that the poor should not accept charity.

"Eat up, don't be shy."

Mytis's kind and gentle smile instantly transformed into a demon in Ophelia's eyes—a demon that had grabbed her by the neck and was forcing her to eat this blasphemous food with a hideous face. No! For Lord Rost, I must save this lost lamb!

Creak~~

On the other side, Huang Quan ignored her, picked up a piece of hot, oily octopus with a fork, and put it in her mouth. With a bite of her bright teeth, she broke the elastic octopus meat in two and chewed it with relish. Huang Quan could tell that Ophelia had an urge to rush up and fight her.

"Aaaaah! You're not allowed to eat it! It's not too late to repent!!!"

Unable to bear it any longer, Ophelia screamed and lunged at Yomi, but the weak bishop, whose combat power was only five, was swiftly and cleanly slammed to the floor by Yomi before she could even leap into the air. In his wicked nature, Yomi even gave Ophelia a close encounter with his own feet.

Note: This is the doll's description. The reason the twin-tailed bishop suddenly went berserk is because the GBL cult's adorable creature in this world, Rost, is an octopus. Rost, the long-legged boss of the second cervical vertebra of the Sky Tower in DNF, is known as the Apostle of the Ocean.

………………

"What an energetic child..."

After finally getting rid of Ophelia, Mitis looked at the mess in the living room and shook his head helplessly.

Ophelia and Yomi had just engaged in a fierce fight; to be precise, Ophelia, who was being unilaterally beaten and humiliated, was constantly pinned to the floor by Yomi. Although she tried to retaliate several times, Yomi ruthlessly pushed her back each time, like a strong adult beating up a little kid.

Midis wanted to stop this process.

But after glancing at her breakfast of stir-fried octopus, she thought for a moment and remained silent.

By the time Ophelia finally managed to get up from the ground, the two of them had swiftly and efficiently devoured the entire table of stir-fried octopus. Devastated, Ophelia forgot her missionary duties and ran out of this nightmare-like place with a mournful expression, not forgetting to glare fiercely at Huang Quan before leaving.

"I need to get ready to go to work too... Little Huangquan, go out and exercise more in your free time, don't always stay cooped up inside. Look outside, you might gain more insights."

"understood."

Huang Quan always felt that Aunt Midis's lectures seemed to have a hidden meaning, but seeing the catfish rushing to work in a hurry and looking so forgetful, Huang Quan quickly put his ridiculous thoughts to the back of his mind.

Chapter Twenty-One: Crushing Strike

It's good to go out for a walk once in a while.

These words were like a spell, popping into Huang Quan's mind whenever she tried to calm herself down and adjust her state. Several times she failed to fully calm herself and adjust her state to enter the sword domain of the [Divine Sword]. This made Huang Quan wonder if it was because Midis was so important to her that she couldn't ignore her words, or if some other reason was influencing her...?

After all, it's a warm and welcoming world. If we stay home all the time, we'll inevitably have regrets.

However, no matter how beautiful the scenery was along the way, it could not stop her from heading to her destination. Huang Quan dared not slow down, because once she relaxed, she did not know if she could still pick up the pace.

There were no objections from the system side.

The host, Huang Quan, is progressing much faster than it expected. It is believed that it will not be long before it is able to initially digest this precious reward and begin its journey to the next world.

While Huang Quan was working hard, the system was not idle either.

To accurately select the next world suitable for the host's training in the Underworld, allowing for the fastest possible growth, there are very few worlds that satisfy those in the Leisure Zone. Simply put, this means that the Underworld grows very quickly and their pure hearts are not clouded by the material desires of the Leisure Zone.

Transmigrators like her should be active in war zones, mutually verifying each other's paths with qualified transmigrators of different ideologies, and together challenging certain corrupt transmigrators. This behavior is simply referred to as "proving one's way" from a higher-dimensional perspective.

It's also a scorpion pooping, unique in its own right.

The fact that a place like Huang Quan could be born in the leisure area by sheer coincidence is due to too many coincidences. To replicate Huang Quan's experience, the most important factor is the human element. Faced with a high-pressure environment where life is precarious, different people cope in different ways, and the slightest difference in the choices they make leads to drastically different outcomes.

The system is now completely bound to the underworld.

………………

"drink!!!"

With a loud and clear shout, pale blue sword shadows lingered in the air where the Yellow Springs Sword had swept past. The seemingly illusory sword shadows paused clockwise, interacting with the fine rain falling from the sky.

The seemingly harmless drizzle and the pale blue sword shadow made contact at the very moment!

The sharp sword shadows were riddled with holes by the fine cotton needles. The sword shadows that tried to block each other could not last more than half a second before being completely destroyed by the terrifying rain of swords!

Swipe!

Taking advantage of this half-second respite, Huang Quan's agile figure soared and glided across the misty waves. If it weren't for the occasional tapping of her toes on the river's surface to create momentum, she would have looked like a graceful fairy flying on the water.

But beneath this beautiful and pleasant facade lies an unspeakable and surging murderous intent!

A light rain, misty waves, and a seemingly calm river! This sword domain was a trial ground specially designated by Liang Yue for Huang Quan. Its difficulty far exceeded that of the previous Peach Blossom Bamboo Forest, forcing Huang Quan to struggle and escape in a desperate situation where he did not know when death would come!

"Damn it, this is a vicious cycle!!"

A light touch of the toes on the water's surface, a fleeting glimpse of bright blue against the surging black and white of the river's underground depths.

Huang Quan was about to burst into a tirade of curses.
