I'm on the Ark, and I started as a succubus.

The luxurious carriage slowly came to a stop. Bai Chen stepped down and helped Shuangxing jump down. Then he extended his hand to Alina, saying, "Beautiful lady, we have arrived."

Alina clutched the hem of her dress with her fair, delicate hands. She bit her lip slightly, slowly reached out, and the moment her fingertips touched Bai Chen's palm, she abruptly withdrew her hand, her pretty face filled with fear.

"uh-huh?",

Bai Chen looked at her with a smile, his smile was extremely gentle, like a heartwarming central air conditioner.

Alina took a deep breath and finally placed her hand in Bai Chen's palm, letting his large hand easily grasp her entire body.

As she bent slightly to step down from the carriage, just as her lotus feet were about to step out of the door, Alina suddenly brought her legs together, her body shuddered violently, and she fell headlong down.

But her first reaction was not to reach out and prepare to support her body; instead, she immediately withdrew her hand and covered her cherry lips tightly with her fair little hand.

It was as if they were afraid of making any strange noises.

Bai Chen naturally wouldn't just watch her fall to the ground, so he immediately opened his arms and hugged her.

It smells sweet and soft, and its body is very light and supple. It doesn't look like someone who has worked hard on the Ursus tundra for a long time, who needs to work in the fields and also needs to pick up a needle and thread to sew and mend.

Even the soft, delicate touch of Alina's body was far better than that of most Ursus noble ladies. Before arriving here, those Ursus noble ladies still had traces of the hardships of Ursus on their pretty faces.

This kind of talent can only be described as a natural beauty, a beauty favored by this land. She is 100% naturally beautiful, and even in barren land and hardship, she cannot leave any trace.

'She's a beautiful girl~'

Feeling Alina's warm, jade-like body in his arms, Bai Chen couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Since the environment can't leave any trace of hardship on the beautiful girl, then let him handle this. He'll show her that even beautiful girls can't do whatever they want!

Alina almost collapsed into Bai Chen's arms, her eyes pleading as she looked at Zao Lu and shook her head repeatedly.

No, absolutely not... There are too many people here!

If, if it were here... that kind of thing is absolutely unacceptable!

212 Alina was extremely disappointed

Alina swayed her head from side to side, using her elbow to brace against Bai Chen's chest, struggling to break free.

Her beautiful eyes quickly welled up with tears, and her gaze was filled with a tender and pleading look. Her voice trembled slightly with a soft, seductive tone, "Let go, let me go."

Her pitiful appearance was just like that of a fawn that had fallen into a hunter's trap.

"open?"

Bai Chen maintained his smile, even raising an eyebrow at her, "Are you sure?"

With that, he released his grip, letting Alina escape his embrace.

The exceptionally long and thin heels caused Alina to stumble a few steps after struggling to push herself forward. As she frantically waved her arms to try and regain her balance, her body suddenly trembled violently, and she abruptly pulled her legs back.

A series of frantic movements caused her to completely lose her balance and nearly fall headfirst to the ground.

Fortunately, how could Bai Chen stand by and watch such a thing happen? He hugged Alina again and asked softly, "Alina, are you feeling unwell?"

His gentle and concerned tone made him seem like a considerate and warm-hearted man, but his teasing smile immediately revealed his ill intentions.

"No, please... at least, at least not here."

Alina leaned against Bai Chen's chest, her flushed cheeks pressed against his skin, and said in an almost pleading tone, "Um, let's go back..."

She bit her lip hard, took a deep breath, and said haltingly, "Anything is fine."

"No, that won't work."

Bai Chen lowered his gaze to look at her misty eyes, "This activity was specially arranged for Alina, so Alina should definitely enjoy it."

He leaned close to her cute little deer ear, his voice incredibly gentle, "It will definitely make Alina feel very happy and joyful."

Just as Alina was about to say something, Bai Chen put his arm around her and stood up. "Alina, someone's here to welcome us. Cheer up!"

Fear appeared in Alina's eyes, and the moisture in her eyes deepened.

Really, really... it won't work!

That, that terrible feeling was about to engulf her.

In front of people...

"Let's go, my dear Alina."

Bai Chen turned his head and winked at Alina, then silently mouthed, 'This is punishment. If you don't behave, even worse things will happen.'

Is Alina disobedient or naughty?

Perhaps not.

However, shouldn't the beautiful girls who have received the favor of this land full of beautiful girls be punished?

Bai Chen embraced Alina and walked towards the maid trainees who came to welcome them. He walked very slowly. Alina seemed to be feeling unwell. Her body was so weak that she could barely stand. Her lotus feet could only take small, trembling steps.

As a result, she only managed to move forward a short distance with great difficulty. It's estimated that if Bai Chen hadn't been supporting her, she would have collapsed to the ground.

The maid academy students all came up to them, and Bai Chen and Alina didn't walk far from the carriage either, their movements were so slow that it was as if they were standing still.

"Master~"

Master~

"Master~"

The noble ladies of Ursus changed into classic-style maid outfits and lined up on both sides of the road, bowing slightly to Bai Chen.

Bai Chen felt fantastic.

He was very satisfied with this display of power and prestige.

Now he understands why those in high positions like to have people line up on both sides of the road to welcome them.

It can truly satisfy a person's vanity to a great extent.

It's so exhilarating!

Alina seemed to be in even worse shape. Her fair and delicate hands had somehow become tightly gripped Bai Chen's sleeve, and her teeth were almost biting her full lips until they bled.

Her pretty face turned even redder, and the bright rose-red color seemed to spread all over her body along her fair neck, even her delicate skin was covered with a light cherry blossom color.

'Ugh... Hiss, I really, really can endure it...'

Alina had her face almost buried in Bai Chen's chest. Her light gray eyes quickly swept over the Ursus noble maids on either side before she quickly darted away and buried herself in Bai Chen's arms.

It was as if by blocking her own view, the noble maids who lined both sides of the road to welcome them could not see her.

Her adorable and innocent appearance is indescribably cute.

"Master~"

"Master~"

The noble maids were incredibly enthusiastic. At first, they seemed a little reserved, but now they even pounced on Bai Chen, offering their delicate lips.

He's even more handsome and charming than I imagined!

The moment I saw it, my heart pounded so hard it felt like it was going to leap out of my chest. I felt an excitement and joy I had never experienced before.

If, if we could go even further—

—Oh my god, what would that be like?

Unfortunately, all the noble ladies of Ursus were stopped by Zao Lu, who kept leaning out but never dared to take a step forward.

The noble maids all seemed to be terrified of Zao Lu, the student council president of the maid academy.

"Waaah!"

Alina abruptly covered her cherry lips with her hand, then even bit her delicate hand with her pearly teeth. Her brows furrowed tightly, and the look of pity in her eyes as she turned to Bai Chen grew even stronger.

No, I really... I really can't take it anymore!

Alina's slender shoulders trembled violently, and she could no longer walk. Her body was stiff and she stood rooted to the spot, her hands gripping Bai Chen's arm like vises.

It's true, it's true... a terrible natural disaster is coming!

The tide and waves will surely surge in with unstoppable force!

"No, no, we really can't! There are too many people here. If a natural disaster comes, we're doomed, we're definitely doomed!"

Alina was terrified, but the more she focused on the natural disaster, the more clearly she could sense the terrible storm brewing and the towering waves hidden within it.

That terrifying wave, capable of engulfing reason and self, and dragging her completely into the abyss, will devour her in an instant.

However, just when Alina felt she was about to die, and even somewhat resigned herself to giving up the fight and letting herself be swallowed by the surging waves, everything vanished completely.

I can't feel anything.

It was as if everything had vanished without a trace in an instant, and she could no longer feel anything.

"How could this be, how could this happen..."

Alina's eyes widened slightly, and she murmured softly, her lips trembling. Logically, this should have been a cause for celebration, but her expression was more like one of utter despair.

213 Not yet~

So close, so close...

What's missing?

'We were almost finished.'

Alina's pretty face looked dazed, and the feeling of loss echoed in her mind, constantly reminding her that she was trying to lie.

She didn't experience any joy like someone who had survived a catastrophe.

Only decline and loss remain, with regret and remorse for not having been able to reach the blissful world of joy and happiness they had just arrived in.

'It's gotten very strange...'

Alina's tear-filled eyes swept absently across the faces of the noble maid trainees lining both sides of the aisle, increasingly unable to accept her true feelings at this moment.

Even in this situation, with people around... she still felt regret about that kind of thing.

'Is he beyond saving?'

Alina bit her lip, becoming increasingly certain that she was already finished, having long since fallen into the slumbering world of the Pearl, a place where joy, pleasure, and happiness were willing to sacrifice anything and do anything.

She can no longer go back.

A gentle breeze carried away the warmth, and Alina, regaining her senses, suddenly felt a chill, which was spreading from her body upwards.
