Don't use yourself as payment for the commission!

Eat some more pineapple, trim your nails, and fill the bathtub with water.

That way, when Mei comes home from school, I can talk to her when she opens her bedroom door.

"Welcome back. Would you like to eat first, take a shower first, or...eat...me first?"

Just thinking about Kiana makes me excited.

The only problem is that one of the double helix ducks might cause trouble as a third wheel, so we need to find a way to get rid of this inherently evil duck.

While mentally plotting how to trick Bronya into leaving, Kiana pushed open the dormitory door and habitually said,

"I'm back~"

"welcome"

Kiana never expected that her mutterings would actually get a response.

Looking up, Kiana saw Mei, wearing an apron around her waist, smiling as she emerged from the kitchen, holding a spatula in one hand and a spoon in the other. Kiana instantly felt healed.

"Waaaaah, it's Mei in an apron! So lucky! ('?`?)"

If you weren't wearing anything else under the apron, that would be the ultimate weapon, but unfortunately, you can't change it.

Kiana indulged in a rather regretful fantasy, but just then, out of the corner of her eye, she noticed that something seemed a little off in the room.

"Why is someone sitting on my beanbag chair?!"

Kiana was devastated to discover that a strange woman was sitting on her go-to beanbag chair while she played games; she felt like the sky had fallen.

Isn't this my and Mei's love nest? Where did this strange woman come from?

Startled by Kiana's loud outburst, Skadi slowly raised her head, blinked her red eyes, and stared at the paramecium in front of her with a puzzled look.

Skadi's striking white hair and red eyes instantly made Kiana's heart skip a beat, as if she had grasped the crux of the matter.

Bai Xun has white hair and red eyes, and this strange woman also has white hair and red eyes... She must be the substitute for Bai Xun that Mei found!

Kiana arrived at such an astonishing conclusion through her extraordinary wisdom.

Thinking of this, Kiana couldn't help but feel disheartened, and she swayed her body, crying out to Mei:

"Mei, look at me!"

Why am I looking at other women? Am I not cute enough?

Look at me! After being bullied so much, am I going to be bullied even as a meal replacement?

I was the one who offered to be the meal replacement first!!!

If Bai Xun weren't here right now, she would definitely have said something like, "Have you become so humble that you even have to fight to be a meal replacement? Hagi bug, you bastard."

Skadi, on the other hand, was completely baffled by Kiana's sudden outburst and was utterly shocked.

The people in this world are really strange.

...............................

Meanwhile, the unholy Terra.

Skadi only needs to relive her wonderful campus life at St. Freya Academy, while Hakuhiro has many more things to consider in the non-Holy Terra.

Bai Xun was unsure whether Skadi's departure had any impact on the Sea Heirs in the Deep Sea, but it certainly had a significant impact on the Deep Sea Church.

Skadi is often depicted as a melancholic little killer whale on land, largely because the Deep Sea Church has been secretly interfering with Skadi's interpersonal relationships, creating the impression that she is a jinx.

This is to gradually weaken Skadi's sense of belonging to humans and society, so that when Skadi is retrieved in the future, she can be more easily assimilated and integrated into the Sealings along with Isamara.

Now that Skadi has suddenly disappeared, aren't those old guys from the Deep Sea Church getting anxious?

Despite their weak presence in the interior, the Deep Sea Church quickly located the place where Skadi last disappeared.

While the members of the Deep Sea Church were still discussing how to take action, Bai Xun had already led a group to their door.

It can only be said that the Sheep Charm's ability to gather intelligence is somewhat of a disadvantage against Terra's small animals.

The dark environment, damp air, and putrid odor—sewers in any world are pretty much the same.

Bai Xun couldn't help but shake his head as soon as he entered the sewer, sighing with considerable emotion.

"I'm finally home!"

Bai Xun's sigh completely stunned Chen Huijie, whom he had dragged there to crack down on the cult.

"When did you become Zalak?"

"Sigh, do you even understand? Sigh!"

Bai Xun shook his head helplessly, looking as if he couldn't communicate with a dragon with such a sly face.

"Officer Chen, you're saying that since we're reporting such a big cult to you, you should give me a 'Five-Star Good Citizen of Lungmen' banner and a bonus of 18 Lungmen dollars, right?"

"They're already throwing out banners of appreciation before even meeting this cult member?"

Chen Huijie was a bit short-tempered today, and her outfit was also very different from usual, mainly because today was supposed to be her rare day off.

She wasn't wearing her smart and dashing Guard Bureau uniform; instead, she wore a very youthful and beautiful white floral dress, so much so that Bai Xun didn't recognize Chen Huijie at first glance when they met on the street.

Bai Xun's words, "Damn it, Chen Huijie, why are you acting like a woman!" almost made Chen Huijie so angry that she immediately attacked him with a Chixiao Jueying. It was only after Bai Xun told him that he had discovered a very dangerous cult lurking in Longmen that he calmed down and dressed up in a pretty little dress to accompany him through the sewers. It would be strange if he was in a good mood.

"Why is it exactly 18 LMD? The Guard Bureau doesn't even have a reward level like that."

Carefully lifting her skirt as she followed behind Bai Xun, Chen Huijie couldn't help but ask a question out of curiosity, but the answer she received only made her more puzzled.

"Because my Titi is almost at Elite 2."

"what?"

Bai Xun didn't explain further, because he had already led Chen Huijie to their destination. Unafraid of alerting them, he went up and banged on the door of a basement room, shouting...

"Open the door, I need to check the water meter!"

Bai Xun's shout instantly startled the Deep Sea Cultists entrenched in the dark basement. Several hunched figures draped in damp black cloths immediately exchanged glances and began arguing fiercely.

"somebody is coming!"

"Damn it, I just told you to use less water, and now you've attracted the water meter reader!"

"Land, too dry; water, too plentiful."

Without thinking twice, Bai Xun banged on the door a few times and, after receiving no response, simply kicked the door down and rushed inside.

The sudden intrusion of Bai Xun and Chen Huijie startled the group of Deep Sea Cultists, who began to grumble and shout. Only the leader, a high-ranking priest who clearly identified as an elite monster, recognized Bai Xun and roared angrily.

"Where is Isamara, the land dweller?!"

"It's none of your business!"

Bai Xun completely disregarded the deep-sea priest, and Chen Huijie, dressed in a short skirt, seamlessly switched back to work mode in a second, coldly saying,

"Someone accused you of illegally assembling and spreading a cult. You have the right to remain silent, but every word you say will become..."

"Kill the women, spare the men! We need information on Isamara!"

Chen, whose face fell instantly after being interrupted by a suspect for the first time, while the Deep Sea Cultists, who had been waiting for a long time, also revealed their dangerous intentions.

"For...the large group!"

"Dudu lu~"

"Plop!"

Amidst the shouts of the priest, the worshippers, draped in damp black cloth, let out inhuman screams. Twisted, deformed creatures, accompanied by their screams, sped out of the shadows and rushed towards Bai Xun and Chen Huijie.

(Screaming)(twisting)(dark crawling)(crawling) (split) (writhing)(dark wriggling)(rolling)(crawling violently)(twisting)(convulsing)(screaming)(wriggling)(eerie growling)(crawling)

"What disgusting stuff!"

Even Chen felt a chill when he saw these terror fish being raised by the Deep Sea Church. They were many times more disgusting than Originium Bugs. Their twisted bodies and movements were not life forms that should exist in nature.

"That stinky salted fish dares to roam around on our Longmen territory!"

Bai Xun delivered a powerful kick to the heart, sending the dinosaur that had crawled in front of him flying. The scorching dragon flames instantly ignited it, turning it into ashes in mid-air.

Meanwhile, Chen Huijie was instantly enraged when a sticky tentacle from the sea creature wrapped around her calf. She slashed the tentacle away with her longsword.

Looking at the surging tide of Hai Si and Deep Sea Cultists before him, Chen Huijie took a deep breath, released his standard longsword and instead gripped the Chi Xiao sword at his waist.

Chixiao, the evil before us is worth fighting!

It says it's ready to go!

Chixiao is the sword of will, which can only be drawn when one has a clear conscience and a firm will. Facing these twisted monsters, Chen had no other thoughts in his mind.

Monster, just kill it!

"Sword out - shadow follows!"

The Crimson Sky Sword, when it must be severed, will be severed!

The crimson sword light almost engulfed everything in the room in an instant. Both the twisted Sea Cultist and the Deep Sea Cultist were instantly sliced ​​into a pile of sashimi by the crimson sword shadow.

At the same time, Bai Xun had already rushed in front of the Deep Sea Priest and struck him on the side of the face with a steel-like elbow strike, knocking out several of the old man's teeth.

"Gu, kill me!"

The deep-sea priest, trampled under Bai Xun's feet, uttered a sound that was completely out of character for him.

"You can kill one of me, but there are millions of me, and the horde will eventually overwhelm everything!"

Although they were completely defeated, the deep-sea priest felt no fear whatsoever; his eyes were filled only with madness and excitement.

"You cannot stop the coming of the Great Tranquility, nor can you stop our glorious evolution!"

"What are you babbling about? Do you know more about Hai Si than I do? Your dad, Shuiyue Meat Pigeon Ecological Lineage Level 170, knows more than an idiot like you!"

Bai Xun rubbed the deep-sea ritual object under her feet harder, then started playing the accordion with a mocking tone.

"Nobody's here?"

Compared to me?

Understand better?

?Haijin?! "

"you!"

"What do you mean, 'you'? Take it to the station and say what you have to say!"

Bai Xun did not choose to kill the old man directly, but knocked him unconscious and had Chen Huijie handcuff him. Bai Xun guessed that the old man would probably be taken away by Hei Suo for severe torture on his first night in the station.

"Is that all?"

Chen Huijie asked a question in a slightly weak voice.

Although she no longer needs to lie in bed for days after using the Crimson Sky Sword as she did back then, using this divine weapon still takes a considerable toll on Chen Huijie. Her pale and weak complexion, coupled with the youthful and girlish white floral dress she's wearing, makes her look like a delicate girl next door.

Of course, this is on the premise that one can ignore the fact that this "girl next door" is almost thirty years old.

"That should be all. After all, Lungmen is inland, and the Deep Sea Church can't thrive here because it's not suited to the local conditions."

Bai Xun couldn't help but glance a few more times at Chen Sir, who rarely showed a hint of feminine gentleness, before continuing her explanation.

“If it weren’t for their ‘Holy Maiden’ in Lungmen, the Deep Sea Church would never have come to a place so far from the sea.”

"The Saintess? Isamara, the one they were just talking about?"

Chen frowned slightly, his gaze towards Bai Xun becoming more scrutinizing.

"They're questioning you about where you put Isamara... You didn't beat their saintess to her knees, drag her home, and lock her in the basement, did you?!"

Chen's inexplicable preconceived notions and biased perspective left Bai Xun speechless, while Chen, completely absorbed in his own imagination, grabbed Bai Xun's hand and earnestly tried to persuade her.

"Bai Xun, don't let momentary impulse cloud your judgment. Confess and you'll be treated leniently; resist and you'll be punished severely. As long as you can turn over a new leaf and start anew, I will definitely help you apply for leniency and guide you back on the right track!"

"Why did you suddenly start thinking based on the premise that I committed a crime?"

Bai Xun shook his head, both amused and exasperated.

“Inspector Chen, based on what you just said, I think I could report you to the Guard Bureau for racial discrimination.”

"But from what you're saying, if I really commit a crime, Inspector Chan, you're planning to offer yourself as bait to reform me?"

Although Bai Xun was joking, Chen's sense of justice made her immediately put on a serious face and respond.

"If you really commit a crime, I'll be the first to arrest you. I'm telling you, no one can save you!"

"Then I'll really be more careful from now on."
