The collapse started when Kiana came to the door

"You--!! How dare you!?"

The sentimental, moist soft lips, the five fingers intertwined and entangled with each other, and the pair of soft flesh pressed against his chest that was slightly deformed due to being squeezed, these feelings that were so sweet that they seemed unreal, made Li Shubai's thoughts and consciousness go blank at Xilin's exasperated voice.

Compared with Li Shubai, who lost his ability to think in an instant due to the sudden attack, Yulandel seemed to be getting back the six forced kisses from Xilin all at once.

As she kissed him, she began to suck with her lips in a somewhat awkward manner, wantonly tasting the other person's taste, and using her own scent to forcefully cover the scent left by Xilin there.

After a long time, whether it was dozens of seconds or minutes, Youlandel finally let go of Li Shubai with satisfaction.

After the kiss ended, she raised her hand, wiped the saliva from the corner of her lips, and breathed softly, her pretty face flushed.

Pa, without even looking, she raised her hand and grabbed the fist that was attacking her cheek. Even though her face was flushed, Youlandel still looked straight into Li Shubai's eyes and declared firmly in a calm and unquestionable tone: "You are mine, not hers."

"You're looking for death!" Xilin's eyes immediately turned red, but in terms of physical ability and close combat skills, even if she was using the same body as Kiana, how could she be a match for Yulandel?

So, just like Yulandel not long ago, Xilin couldn't help but fall into impotent rage.

But just when Xilin was about to explode, her head was suddenly touched by a hand with a somewhat stiff movement.

"You..." This rude action made her turn her head sharply, with a fierce look in her eyes, but it softened immediately after she saw the owner of the hand. The fierce look revealed by anger turned into a wronged look as if she was about to cry in an instant.

"Okay, okay." Li Shubai was a little embarrassed. He was not sure if this would calm Xilin's anger, so he could only tentatively suggest: "It's so late at night, let's stop fighting, you..."

When he turned around, he found that the silent Yulandel was staring at his other hand, and her purpose was self-evident.

So Li Shubai was suddenly speechless, raised his other hand and touched Youlandel's head.

Why does it feel so much like raising two daughters who are competing for each other's affection?

Xilin pursed her lips. Although she still felt dissatisfied inside, she finally suppressed her hostility.

Looking at Xilin's gradually calming expression, Youlandel turned her head, enjoyed Li Shubai's palm in a more comfortable posture, and loosened the hand that was holding Xilin's fist.

After confirming that neither side would launch the next attack, Xilin and Yulandel glared at each other and disarmed themselves at the same time.

Xilin, who had taken off her Herrscher robe, put on Li Shubai's loose T-shirt again; Youlandel, who had released her Tianyuan Knight form, was still wearing the pure white bathrobe she had been wearing since she took a bath. The atmosphere suddenly eased.

After finally stopping the dispute between Xilin and Youlan Daier, Li Shubai couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. "Well, Xilin, clear this battlefield first." Li Shubai said, "If you disappear for too long, the others in the dormitory will worry about you."

Xilin glared at Li Shubai with her golden pupils filled with resentment, and snapped her fingers reluctantly.

In an instant, under Xilin's command, the surrounding environment changed from the unreal imaginary space back to its original state.

After the three of them returned to the room that Ji Zi had temporarily lent to Xilin, Li Shubai looked around.

In the brightly lit corridor, through the door that was kicked open by Youlandel, Li Shubai saw a large group of people silently guarding the door.

Those gazes, some sharp, some watching a show, and some solemn, made Li Shubai's thinking, which had just relaxed because he successfully prevented the dispute between Xilin and Youlandel, become a headache again.

He turned around and glanced at Xilin, who had a frosty face and was obviously not prepared to speak; he also looked at Yulandel, who stood quietly behind him, because she finally understood what ridiculous thing she had done and was completely dominated by shame. She was also obviously not prepared to face other people. He sighed resignedly and began to rack his brains to think of a sophistry.

All right.

So, what should be explained next so that these people outside will not pursue what just happened?

After half an hour.

One o'clock.

After finally convincing Ji Zi and the others that nothing had happened, Li Shubai dragged his tired body into the bathtub filled with hot water.

No, maybe they didn’t believe it either.

Recalling Ji Zi's half-smile and Lost Rosemary's expressionless face, Li Shubai couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile on his face.

However, seeing how exhausted I was, and the fact that Yulandel and Xilin did not look like they had experienced a life-and-death battle, they concluded that it was not a dangerous incident, so they let me go for the time being.

But... I really couldn't have imagined that both Xilin and Youlandel liked me.

Things have developed to this point, no matter how much he deceives himself, Li Shubai has to face the facts honestly.

If that was the case, would other Valkyries also... No, no, no, that was too absurd, he shook his head. Being liked by Xilin and Youlandel already made him feel like he was dreaming and unreal, there couldn't possibly be other people who liked him.

But...what if it really exists?

Originally, he didn't believe that Yulandel would like him, but the facts clearly told him that his judgment was worthless.

Well, if there really is such a possibility... which Valkyries are there that might like me?

In his complicated thoughts, Li Shubai silently buried his head in the steaming water, bubbles bubbling up. He began to let the faces of the Valkyries pass through his thoughts one by one.

The first to be eliminated was Kiana.

Although I like Kiana very much, whether it is Bug, Firefly or Skyworm, I like them all, but because of this, based on Li Shubai's understanding of Kiana...

...This guy is a lesbian, it's unlikely that she likes boys. Rather... Before he traveled through time, even if he wasn't a lesbian, he was an extremely staunch supporter of Yaqi.

Li Shubai has been following the plot all the way and has witnessed the deep relationship between Mei Raiden and Kiana, which is so deep that they are willing to trust each other with their lives.

Having personally experienced the third collapse in Changkong City, he became even more convinced that the relationship between Kiana and Raiden Mei could not accommodate anyone else.

Uh... maybe we have to get rid of Alicia? But it's still several years before Alicia appears. Without that woman, Raiden Mei and Kiana are a perfect match.

Kiana couldn't possibly like him, and by the same token, Raiden Mei couldn't possibly like him either.

No... Compared to Kiana, whose consciousness had been mapped by the Herrscher of the Fire on his ship, perhaps Raiden Mei is the one who is even less likely to like him.

After ruling out Kiana and Raiden Mei, Li Shubai thought of Bronya.

Bronya—the big one, the secondary silver wing on his ship, seemed to have expressed a liking for him in Changkong City.

But at that time, the emotion expressed by Ci Sheng Yin Yi was more like a kind of pity and comfort rather than love between a man and a woman.

As for the younger one, my current roommate... Now it seems that this Bronya should be in the same state as in the original plot, with her emotional module damaged.

If that's the case, the relationship between her and Seele should be as deep as Kiana's attitude towards Raiden Mei.

It's hard to imagine that Bronya would like the way she looks.

Fu Hua...this one was directly passed.

In a sense, he was his ancestor. How could he have any romantic feelings for him? Whether it was the Fu Hua on his ship or the class monitor at St. Freya Academy, Li Shubai didn't think Fu Hua would like him.

Next up are Himeko Muliangta and Theresa...

Honestly speaking, purely from the perspective of mental age, Li Shubai felt that Himeko Murata might be the most suitable one for him, but for humans like Valkyries and Herrschers who were exempt from the lifespan limit, age was actually the least important criterion in choosing a spouse.

This not only applies to Kiana and the others, but also to Li Shubai, the captain of the Hyperion.

Like the Valkyries, Herrschers and Fusion Warriors who possess extraordinary powers, if nothing unexpected happens, Li Shubai, who can control multiple divine keys and even use the Taixu Sword God, should be able to have a longer lifespan than ordinary humans.

Thinking of life span and associating it with another thing, Li Shubai suddenly stood up and his head popped out of the hot water in the bathtub.

"Yes... Compared to this kind of thing, there is a more important thing waiting for me to deal with." Standing in the steamy bathroom, Li Shubai whispered to himself.

Because Theresa suddenly dragged him into Yulandel's room without any psychological preparation, and in the next hour he encountered various things that had a great impact on his sanity, so that he almost forgot a very important thing.

Compared to the trivial matter of sorting out love emotions, there is a bigger challenge ahead of me.

——That is Himeko’s life span.

After putting aside the problems of Yulandel and Xilin for the time being, Li Shubai sat back in the bathtub filled with hot water. While washing his body, he began to seriously consider how to solve the problem of Ji Zi's life span.

In this world, under the guidance of various external forces, humans with super long lifespans are rare, but they are by no means unknown. It can even be said that there are many cases.

But the opposite is also true.

There are also many human beings whose lifespans have been shortened or even killed immediately due to the influence of external forces.

As far as Li Shubai knows, the latter is more common than the former.

Unfortunately, Jizi belongs to the latter category.

Ji Zi's physical condition is not weak in terms of strength.

She was an A-level Valkyrie. Even in the entire Savior Organization, there were not many warriors who could become A-level Valkyries. Logically speaking, their physical qualities that completely surpassed the basic biological structure of the normal human body and even completely surpassed biomechanics should have long been free from the maximum lifespan of normal humans and entered a new realm.

Simply rewriting the physiological functions of a living being is not something that Li Shubai cannot do now. He also has conventional means of prolonging life.

——If you simply want to extend the lifespan of ordinary people, you only need to use the Black Abyss White Flower.

As the key to creation, the Black Abyss White Flower can even rewrite the underlying structure of organisms to a certain extent from the level of genetic blueprint. It is just a prolongation of life, which is not a difficult task for this weapon that holds the power of death.

The two anti-entropy veterans, Tesla and Dr. Einstein, who have survived from the middle of the last century to the present and whose appearance has not changed at all, are due to the abilities of the Black Abyss and White Flower.

However, what affected Jizi's lifespan was not something as simple as physiological function.

Jizi's physical condition was not bad. Even if she was asked to stand on the front line of the battlefield like other Valkyries, it would not be a difficult task for her now. The reason why her life was in the countdown was because she had undergone the artificial stigma experiment of Tianming, which caused her body to be severely eroded by Honkai energy.

Honkai energy is a toxin, but at the same time, it is also an excess muscle enhancer.

Excessive Honkai energy will not easily destroy the body of a Valkyrie who has adaptability. When a Valkyrie who has been corroded by Honkai energy enters the countdown of her life span, she will not fall into the aging process like ordinary people, but will become more and more energetic. However, the price is that her consciousness and spirit become fragmented. In the end, when she reaches the boundary point, she is completely controlled by the will of killing and transformed into a dead warrior who is much more powerful than before.

After all, there are only a few Valkyries with natural stigmata. In today's world where militarization and intelligent management are becoming more and more popular, the tasks assigned to most Valkyries and the enemies they need to deal with will not exceed the limits of their abilities. Therefore, the cause of death of most Valkyries with artificial stigmata implanted in their bodies is not sacrificed on the front line of the battlefield, but - before they are completely transformed into dead soldiers, they are executed by their fellow Valkyries, or they commit suicide.

Before implanting artificial stigmata, the first thing the Valkyries need to know and make the mental preparation is to accept the fate of being executed by their companions.

The lack of natural stigmata also represents the inherent lack of adaptability to Honkai energy. For these warriors, obtaining the power of artificial stigmata also means pressing the switch of a time bomb in their hearts.

That's pretty sad for a Valkyrie who wants to fight for all the good in this world.

Maybe Theresa established St. Freya College just because she didn't want these girls to have such awareness.

Similarly, the problem of Ji Zi’s life span is difficult to solve for this reason.

What the Black Abyss White Flower can do is to rewrite the genetic blueprint of living things in order to achieve the ultimate result of prolonging life, but as the Key of God, the fact that the "fuel" that drives its ability to operate is also Honkai energy cannot be changed.

Therefore, even the ability of the Black Abyss White Flower cannot completely solve the erosion caused by the Honkai energy.

...Moreover, if the Key of God is used to directly control the Honkai energy to completely expel the Honkai energy from Himeko's body, although Himeko's life span problem can be solved, she will become the same as an ordinary person because she will completely lose the power of Honkai energy and stigmata.

Although there are various disadvantages, it is better to regard this option as a contingency plan that will only be implemented in extreme circumstances when the problem cannot be completely solved. Li Shubai thought about it and secretly made a note of it in his heart.

If we ignore this method for the time being, then we still have to do as planned... implant the natural stigmata obtained in the Manila Trench into Jizi's body?

But this choice will lead to more problems.

First of all, whether it is the artificial stigmata developed by Otto in this civilization era, or the so-called "natural stigmata" that were preserved in this era after the stigmata plan was completed in the previous civilization era, both of these things are substandard failures.

Not to mention the degraded products of this era that could even put the Valkyrie's life in danger, even the genuine stigmata developed in the last civilization era could not achieve the original intended goals, not to mention the so-called natural stigmata possessed by humans in this era.

Secondly, even if we ignore the inherent problems of natural stigmata, how to transplant natural stigmata is still an unknown area for Li Shubai.

Although Xilin used the power of space to fix the space around the stigmata so that she could bring it back to the dormitory of St. Freya College, the stigmata is not just a pattern. In essence, the stigmata is a database that records a large amount of genetic information. The external pattern is just a specific manifestation of the stigmata and has no practical meaning at all.

Finally, even if these two problems were ignored and the natural stigmata were successfully transplanted into Jizi's body, no one could predict what the results would be.

No matter how perfect the theory is, no matter how accurate the knowledge is, if it is separated from practice, it will always be empty talk.

That is to say, before implanting the natural stigma into Ji Zi's body, Li Shubai must make sure that this method is correct and can produce positive effects.

What should I do? After taking a shower, drying my body and putting on my bathrobe, Li Shubai kept thinking about this question.

What should I do to ensure that the problem can be solved and implant the natural stigmata I have obtained into Jizi's body?

If you want to do an experiment, you still need experimental subjects... But there are no volunteers in this place, and I am not Otto. It is impossible for me to involve other irrelevant people for Ji Zi's affairs.

So, I have to do it myself? Li Shubai opened the bathroom door and walked straight to the door of his room.

This time on the way back, Theresa did not suddenly jump out to stop him. Li Shubai walked to the door of the room, turned off the switch of the corridor chandelier, and then opened the door.

The room was brightly lit. Ji Zi sat cross-legged on the floor, looking at Li Shubai who opened the door with a smile.

"Hey, look who this handsome guy is." Ji Zi said in a teasing tone, "Isn't this Mr. Li Shubai, who has fascinated our strongest Valkyrie and the beautiful Herrscher of the Sky? I thought you wouldn't come back to this room tonight."

"My dear and beautiful teacher Ji Zi, please stop teasing me." Li Shubai sighed. He looked up at the wall clock and said helplessly, "It's almost two o'clock in the morning and you're still not asleep, waiting to laugh at your lovely student. What kind of hatred is this?"

"A cute student?" Ji Zi burst out laughing, spread her hands, and showed an expression of longing on her face, "I don't have the ability to teach a cute student who can make Yulandel and Xilin fight. It would be great if I could have two handsome guys fighting for me one day."

Li Shubai rolled his eyes, his eyes full of disbelief: "If you don't want to find one, then don't look for one. Why are you looking for so many excuses? It's not strange to not have a boyfriend."

After hearing Li Shubai's confident words, Ji Zi raised her eyebrows, narrowed her eyes slightly, and said in a strange tone: "Although it makes sense, when you say such words, it sounds like you are mocking me."

"You must be overthinking it." Li Shubai answered immediately. He raised his arm and placed his hand on the switch at the door. "I have to get up early for class tomorrow. Do you have anything else to do? If not, I'll turn off the lights first."

"It's up to you." Ji Zi threw a coquettish glance at Li Shubai who was standing at the door, "If you can't sleep, it's not impossible to let your sister help you relax."

"Okay, I know. You'll be fine." Ji Zi's outspoken way of speaking made Li Shubai feel overwhelmed. "I'm going to sleep now, Teacher Ji Zi, you should also go to bed early."

Although he is ruthless when driving when playing games online, he still has to save face in real life. He can't learn the tough style of Ji Zi, who has never had a boyfriend but can still tell jokes at will.
