The joyful National Day holiday is over, boohoo!

Section 133, page 129: Intricate Relationships

"Hey! Theresa, it's been a long time!"

Night Song forced a friendly smile and waved to the stunned Theresa. Instantly, everyone's attention was focused on him. Himeko raised an eyebrow, her inner gossip bubbling over. When did Theresa meet a strange man? Could it be that she'd been single for too long and couldn't hold back anymore? Hiss! The more she thought about it, the more excited she became.

"Hey buddy, do you know Theresa?"

Himeko asked with a smile, and Yoru rubbed his nose, saying awkwardly, "I guess we knew each other, but it was a long time ago!"

"Why are you here, you pervert?!"

Before anyone else could speak, Theresa finally snapped out of her daze, stomping her feet in anger and yelling at Night Song. This immediately drew the attention of everyone in the control room, especially Night Song. Their eyes were filled with amusement and gossip, burning with a fierce flame. Kiana was also present. Mei whimpered twice, biting her handkerchief, seemingly very unwilling.

"Aunt De! Do you know Yege?"

Kiana leaned closer and asked curiously. Theresa's eyes twitched, and her finger trembled as she pointed at Night Song: "I've known him for over ten years! He was like this ten years ago, and then this guy slept for over ten years, only to wake up and start causing trouble!"

"What! More than ten years?"

Mei exclaimed in surprise. Yege looked to be only in her early twenties. People would believe she was just over eighteen. If what Theresa said was true, Yege was less than ten years old when they met. And what did it mean that they had slept together for more than ten years?

"Don't be fooled by this guy's appearance!"

Seeing the disbelieving looks from the others, Theresa angrily stomped on Night Song's foot. The latter rolled his eyes and took a step back, only to have Theresa miss her footing. He glared at Night Song resentfully before explaining, "More than ten years ago, not long after Kiana, your mothers and I met Night Song. Later, we participated in the extermination of the Second Herrscher, and after we returned, we never heard from him again."

"So, he's actually quite old?"

Himeko looked Yoru up and down, and the enthusiasm in her eyes visibly diminished. Originally, she planned to find a man younger than herself, but she found that Yoru, who looked young, was probably the same age as Theresa.

"Hmm, I don't know, probably similar to me."

Theresa shook her head of white hair, bringing the topic back on track. She took a deep breath, walked briskly to Ye Ge, and tried her best to stand on tiptoe. Then, under Ye Ge's questioning gaze, she struggled to grab his collar and pull it down. Ye Ge had to bend over to keep at the same height as Theresa.

"I've always wanted to ask you, why didn't you save Cecilia back then? With your strength, couldn't you have saved her? Didn't you know that Cecilia actually... actually liked you?"

"Huh? Mom likes him?"

Kiana covered her mouth in shock, pointing at Yoru in disbelief. Yoru smiled bitterly, touched his nose, and straightened up, but Theresa grabbed his clothes and held him tightly, her eyes fixed on him as if she wouldn't let him go without an explanation. The others held their breath, all wanting to hear this history that had been sealed for more than ten years, but Mei simply wanted to know about Yoru's past.

"You ask why? Well, I don't really know either." Ye Ge scratched his hair, feigning distress, his eyes lowered so Theresa wouldn't see them. "Do you remember Benares?"

"Benares, a familiar of the Second Herrscher, a Judgment-class Honkai Beast, had its core shattered by Principal Theresa and two other Valkyries in Siberia." Himeko promptly explained the situation to the newbies, but her attention remained focused on Night Song, since he, like Theresa, had experienced that battle, and even been at the center of the battlefield.

Night Song sighed, her tone leisurely: "Actually, Theresa encountered Benares after she was seriously injured. Otherwise, the fully-formed Theresa at that time would not have been able to kill her at all. It was me who brought her to the brink of death, because I was trapped by Benares on a distant battlefield and did not have time to rush over to support her."

Theresa bit her lip, her eyes flashing with regret. Although Night Song's words seemed to belittle her, she understood that even now, it would be difficult for her to defeat Benares, let alone kill him.

"You severely injured a Judgment-class Honkai Beast? That takes several S-rank Valkyries to defeat!"

Himeko's jaw nearly dislocated. Was this seemingly ordinary man really that strong? Although he had defeated the Third Herrscher before, it was only in a semi-awakened state, making him much weaker than a Herrscher or a Judgment-class Honkai Beast. The only ones who could possibly fight such a monster alone and be seriously injured were the few from Schicksal Headquarters.

"More than ten years have passed, and destiny has indeed weakened considerably."

Yege glanced at Himeko and habitually rubbed Theresa's head. Theresa's eyes flashed with murderous intent, but she did not resist as expected. She just glared at him. Only Otto could touch Theresa's head so brazenly without fear of retaliation, besides Yege.

"Leaving aside the Valkyrie's strength, the S-rank rating is already a significant drop. Otherwise, according to the previous standards, Theresa, you still wouldn't have broken through to A-rank. As for this one, she's probably only at the peak of B-rank Valkyrie." Pointing at Himeko, Yoruko didn't care how hurtful her words were. Himeko immediately became indignant. Although she was unwell, she hadn't fallen to B-rank yet.

"Who do you think you are! I challenge you to a duel!"

"you sure?"

Night Song's disdainful expression only fueled Himeko's anger, making her even more eager to attack. Theresa, standing nearby, quickly stopped Himeko, saying, "Forget it, it's not that serious. Besides, Himeko, you really can't beat him. Back then, he single-handedly defeated three S-rank Valkyries. You have no chance of winning." Of course, Theresa shamelessly referred to herself as an S-rank.

"Huh? Him?"

Himeko's beautiful eyes widened, and she slowly withdrew from her original position. Although she was the strongest among Saint Freya's disciples besides Theresa, she still had no chance of winning against an S-rank, let alone against three S-ranks at the same time. Himeko, feeling utterly powerless, admitted defeat.

"Um, Auntie, what exactly is Ye Ge's relationship with my mom?"

Kiana was extremely anxious. She had finally managed to find out news about her mother, so she couldn't wait any longer. Theresa looked conflicted upon hearing this, counting on her fingers as if she wanted to say something but hesitated, unable to speak. She couldn't very well say that her two mothers weren't actually in love, but had fallen for him, could she? That would ruin Siegfried and Cecilia's image!

Section 134, page 130: Theresa's face was screaming cannibalism.

"Well..."

"Auntie, stop keeping me in suspense and tell me already!"

After a fierce internal struggle, Theresa finally gave up thinking. Since it wasn't her who was collapsing, she figured she might as well let her adopted niece accept reality sooner.

“Actually, one of your mothers had a bit of a thing for Nightsong, but she passed away before they could develop a relationship. As for Siegfried, we were probably just comrades-in-arms, but that pervert probably took advantage of her quite a bit.” Theresa blushed as she said this, recalling the shameful things that had happened before.

"What! Ye Ge, you actually took advantage of my mom?"

Kiana pounced on Yege like an enraged cat, scratching and clawing at his clothes, even biting the flesh on his neck. He expressionlessly grabbed Kiana by the back of her collar, spinning her around in his hand. Kiana's menacing baring of teeth and claws had no power whatsoever.

"So, Yege, you don't have a wife yet, right?"

Raiden Mei asked timidly, patting her chest in relief. Fortunately, Yoru and Kiana weren't closely related, and she didn't want to be Kiana's stepmother, otherwise it would be so awkward when they met in the future.

"Um, actually I have wives, I think I have three."

Yoru counted on her fingers and nodded affirmatively: Mokou, Keine, and Siegfried, yes, three of them!

Raiden Mei, petrified!

So the person I like is such a womanizer? Waaaaah, Raiden Mei, you have to be strong! You still have a chance!

"Tch, what a jerk."

Theresa glared at Ye Ge with disdain, hands on her hips, and pointed at Ye Ge's nose: "As compensation for me, you must join St. Freya Academy! Be my student!"

"Why should I?!" Ye Ge rolled her eyes. I'm so busy, how could I have time to play games with you? Theresa's eyes darted around, and she suddenly picked up Kiana, whom Ye Ge had just put down, and lifted her up again, making sure Kiana's face was facing Ye Ge. Under Kiana's bewildered expression, she said, "If you don't join, I won't tell Kiana about Siegfried!"

"Ah? No, Auntie! Night Song, help me!"

Kiana panicked upon hearing this, looking at Night Song with pleading eyes. Night Song helplessly pressed his forehead with his hand. What could he do? She was Cecilia's daughter. Taking good care of her was his way of making amends to Kilgore and Cecilia. Under Theresa's smug gaze, Night Song nodded helplessly, and then turned his attention to the other two.

"I'll join too!"

"Wherever Mei goes, Bronya will go!"

“Then it’s decided!” Theresa put Kiana down and waved her hand: “Hyperion! Prepare to return! Back to St. Freya.”

The Hyperion's Honkai Furnace gradually increased its power and speed, speeding rapidly in one direction. It must be said that the ship was very fast. When everyone's wounds were healed, the Hyperion landed with a deep roar.

"Everyone! Welcome to St. Freya Academy!"

Theresa stepped off the deck first, opening her arms to the people behind her with a bright smile. Kiana looked around curiously, as she hadn't seen many buildings this big before. Mei and Bronya, however, were much calmer.

"Tsk, your place isn't even a fifth the size of the Destiny Headquarters."

Yege disembarked, looked around, and shook his head in disgust. Himeko behind him quickly nudged his back and winked at him, but Yege seemed not to notice anything. Didn't he see that Theresa's face had turned black?

"Great! Ye Ge, your allowance for this month will be halved!" Theresa gave a sweet smile, but there seemed to be something hidden in that smile. Ye Ge looked closely for a long time, and every pore of her skin screamed sarcasm!

"If you're not happy, go talk to Grandpa!"

Theresa had no intention of listening to Night Song's complaints. She led the rest of the group into the academy, and after a series of relatively simple procedures, Kiana and the others became students. The only one with problems was Night Song.

"Um, where should I stay? I can't exactly stay in the girls' dorm, can I?"

Ye Ge spread his hands, looking at Theresa who seemed lost in thought. He tapped the table as a reminder. Theresa looked up, a flicker of struggle in her eyes, and slammed a sign down in front of Ye Ge, gritting her teeth as if Ye Ge owed her millions: "You'll stay here. Remember! Don't do anything strange! Otherwise, you'll die a horrible death."

After that, Night Song was kicked out by Theresa. Holding the numbered tag and key in her hand, she waved them around and ended up meeting Kiana and the others. Kiana looked at the tag in her hand, then at Night Song's, and her expression became strange. Bronya dropped the things in her hand, and Mei covered her head, seemingly lost in thought.

"What a coincidence, you live here too?"

Yege scratched his face, trying to ease the awkwardness. Kiana nodded: "It seems there is a small, vacant dormitory building that we can use. But even with you, Yege, there will only be four people. However, there are two floors and quite a few empty rooms."

"Is Theresa really that wealthy?"

Ye Ge was shocked. Had Theresa become a tycoon while he was asleep? She handed over an entire building without batting an eye. It seemed he had underestimated her!

"Yes, this is it."

Mei put down what she was holding, took out her key, glanced behind her, Kiana swallowed and nodded. Mei then inserted the key into the lock, turned it, and the door creaked open. The lights inside were on, and there were some teacups on the table, but no one appeared.

"Ahem, let's put the things in the room first."

Night Song coughed twice, easing the tense atmosphere. The others nodded, took their luggage, and went into their rooms. When Night Song wanted to help Bronya, who had difficulty walking, carry her things, Heavy Bunny stopped him. Bronya shook her head at Night Song, "No need, thank you for your kindness." After saying that, Heavy Bunny raised its strong mechanical arm, lifted all the things, and slowly floated over, making it incredibly easy.

"Ok."

Ye Ge twitched her lips and slowly climbed up to the second floor. The lights on the second floor were a bit dim, but it didn't affect the view. Ye Ge put her luggage on the ground and was looking down to take out her keys when the door to the room next to her suddenly opened and a dark figure darted out. It was very fast, and before Ye Ge could even raise her head, her waist was pressed against it.

Section 135, Chapter 131: Fu Hua, the King of Flat Tablets!

A faint, sweet fragrance wafted from behind him. The person blocking his way was a girl. Ye Ge obediently raised his hands and waved the keys in his hand:

"Ahem, I'm a new resident, I have a key."

A soft "hmm" came from behind. The fingers on her waist withdrew, and Ye Ge lowered her hand, turning around. A wisp of gray-blue hair came into view, and emerald eyes calmly looked at Ye Ge. Further down... it was completely flat... cough cough, I mean the smoothness of the clothes.

"Night Song, is this you? Hello, my name is Fu Hua."

Fu Hua smiled slightly and greeted him politely. Ye Ge nodded indifferently, then suddenly grabbed Fu Hua's wrist. Fu Hua's eyes narrowed, and she twisted her right hand back, quickly breaking free from Ye Ge's control. Her gaze towards Ye Ge also became strange.

"Chinese?"

"Could it be that Ye Ge is one of them?"

"That's it."

Ye Ge remained noncommittal, then suddenly stepped forward and circled around Fu Hua. Fu Hua's gaze never left him. He appeared relaxed, but the muscles beneath his clothes were tense, and his fists were subtly clenched. From the earlier probing, Fu Hua knew that this person was likely similar to her, and at least she wouldn't gain the upper hand against him.

"The aura of age emanating from her is too strong. She has lived for at least several thousand or even tens of thousands of years. The energy within her body is also enormous. Even a Herrscher would be no match for her, right? If she were to fully unleash this power, at least none of the current Herrschers would be her match."

Ye Ge narrowed his eyes, deciding to treat Fu Hua with courtesy first, and smiled amicably at her: "Sorry, I lost my composure just now."

"It seems that Yege is also a martial artist. There's no need to worry about such a small matter." Fu Hua also appeared very magnanimous. After saying goodbye to Yege, she walked downstairs and greeted Raiden Mei and Kiana, which immediately sparked another round of discussion. Yege revealed a mocking smile. Fu Hua mistakenly thought that she was like her, but her martial arts skills were entirely the result of her own hard work. Human techniques and training were of no use to Yege. When the blood of monsters was made into energy bottles, their refined essence and profound skills would be imprinted on her body through the armor, making them as easy to use as breathing.

"Hmm, it's fairly clean. It seems to have been cleaned regularly."

Ye Ge was quite satisfied with the room's environment. After tidying up a bit, she stuffed all her things inside, closed the door, and leisurely walked downstairs.
