I am on the Ark, a succubus, pure and innocent.

"Little Yue, I'm leaving too."

"Mmm." Bai Yue breathed a sigh of relief. Oh well, thank goodness Sister Qingyan didn't ask who Sister Yuxia was, otherwise it would have been a disaster.

Lin Qingyan took two steps, then turned back and said softly, "Next time, tell me who that woman is, okay, Yue-di?"

"Um... okay."

Well, I still couldn't escape it.

Chapter 79 Turbulent Times

despair!

The last door to the solitary confinement cell was closed.

Lyudmila suddenly grabbed the iron bars and shouted at Bai Yue and Froststar standing next to him, "Hey, why? She's the one in danger! Why are you locking her up instead of her?!"

Bai Yue laughed, poked her hand that was gripping the railing, and said with a grin, "Don't overthink it. This solitary confinement cell just happens to be big enough to keep you here. Eat well and try to complete the rehabilitation as soon as possible. I'll personally bring you out then."

"Ugh!" Lyudmila's face was almost puffed up like a pufferfish. She snorted, turned around, and jumped onto the single bed. She bounced a couple of times, then put her hands on her stomach and closed her eyes.

When in doubt, just go to sleep!

Seeing her optimistic demeanor, Bai Yue felt relieved, turned around, took Shuangxing's hand, and walked upstairs.

......

Rhodes Island was bustling with people, all of them looking hurried.

Bai Yue arrived at the upper floor and hadn't taken more than a few steps when she saw Kal'tsit walking towards her. Kal'tsit was holding a sealed document in her hand. The moment she saw Bai Yue, she casually nodded as a greeting.

Bai Yue nodded in response.

The two passed each other.

Bai Yue continued walking towards the medical department.

A moment later, Kal'tsit returned and said in a lukewarm tone, "White, wait a minute, I have something I want to ask you."

Bai Yue stopped and turned back in confusion: "What is it?"

Kal'tsit took two steps forward, glanced to the left and right, and frowned, saying, "This is not the place to talk. Let's go to my office to discuss this in detail."

Bai Yue was somewhat reluctant: "Hey, but I have things to do."

“It’s a very important matter.” Kal’tsit said seriously, then twirled her fingers and said, “I won’t let you come for nothing. I heard your sanatorium is still a bit short of decorations. Fortunately, the greenhouse has recently cultivated some rare varieties of flowers, and I can approve them for you.”

"How embarrassing."

Saying she was embarrassed, Bai Yue immediately took Frostnova's hand, turned around, moved closer to Kal'tsit, and then asked happily:

"I heard that the Starry Night Orchids in the greenhouse are blooming well, as are the Warm Sun Orchids, and the Snow Orchids seem to be quite good too. Could you approve all of these for me?"

Kal'tsit sniffed the sweet scent in the air and nodded absentmindedly in agreement: "Okay."

With a single, casual remark, she gave away all the most precious and rarest flowers in the greenhouse.

I wonder what the gardener would think if he saw all the flowers he had painstakingly planted over the years turn into empty holes. Heh, he'd probably want to beat Kal'tsit to death.

......

Kal'tsit's office.

The table was piled high with various documents, the coffee in the mug had long since gone cold, medical supplies were scattered everywhere, and... a bunch of pens.

When Bai Yue saw the pile of pens, she couldn't hold back anymore and teased, "Dr. Kal'tsit, it seems you're quite popular, so many people are giving you pens."

Kal'tsit looked embarrassed and coughed lightly: "That's not important. I'll keep it short and sweet about the question I wanted to ask you."

"Okay." Bai Yue found a chair, sat down, and nodded. "Go on, I'm listening."

Kal'tsit placed her hand on the file folder, leaned forward, and said confidently, "You should have obtained the key to the Chernobog core city, right?"

Bai Yue's expression darkened slightly, and she said coldly, "Dear Dr. Kal'tsit, you can't just say things without evidence. If this gets out, I'll be arrested and tortured."

“No, you won’t.” Kal’tsit shook her head, tapping the document lightly with her fingertips. “You’re not like Misha, and you don’t have enough connections to protect yourself. Even if there’s a leak, you’ll only lose a useless key.”

Bai Yue nodded slightly, then said unhappily, "So, what are you trying to say?"

Seeing his hostility, Kal'tsit felt a pang of pain in her heart and sighed, "Don't look at me like that, White. Please believe me, I have no designs on you. This key is a hot potato; it would be a problem for anyone."

Bai Yue frowned slightly: "So, can you get to the point?"

Kal'tsit hesitated for two seconds, then turned to look out the window and pointed into the distance, saying, "The key point is that the core city of Chernobog is rushing towards Lungmen, and it will officially crash into Lungmen in 36 hours."

Bai Yue's eyelids twitched. Wait, the mobile city bumper cars are about to start?

Kal'tsit continued:

"But if we have the key, we can try to stop the operation of the Chernobog core city and stop this disaster on paper. What's your opinion?"

Bai Yue thought for a moment and realized, "Yes, this thing is a hot potato. It's not like you can become the Duke of Chernobog just by holding it in your hand. It's good to look at but not to use."

He nodded: "Okay, I can give you the key, but..."

"But?" Kal'tsit tilted her head.

Bai Yue raised her chin and declared, "You found the key yourself, and it has nothing to do with me. You cannot involve me for any reason afterward, including but not limited to leaking information in any form."

“Okay.” Kal’tsit nodded, assuring him, “I will not allow anyone to harass you in the slightest using the key as a pretext.”

"I hope so." Bai Yue nodded slightly and said, "The key is in my dorm. You can have Hong go get it. It's in a black box. She's played with it before."

Kal'tsit was taken aback for a moment. Wait, isn't it possible that you can't even take good care of something this important?

If that silly kid Hong were to break this thing, it would be a truly undeserved disaster.

But she didn't have time to lecture the little succubus, so she simply nodded and said, "Okay, I will. I have to go out for a bit now, so I won't keep you any longer. Do as you please."

After saying that, she picked up the documents, took out her communicator, and quickly walked out of the office.

After she left, Bai Yue dusted off her clothes, stood up, walked to the window, and gazed at the wilderness: "There are still 36 hours left, Froststar. Will your adoptive father be in the core city?"

Froststar said calmly, "He won't be absent from something like this."

Bai Yue turned around and teased, "Then can you help me persuade him to surrender? He's an old man, fighting isn't good for him. How about I treat him and let him live out his old age in peace?"

“Impossible,” Frostnova denied, shaking her head slightly as she looked at his questioning gaze. “He’s a stubborn old man, used to being tough. Even if you threaten him with me…”

She pondered, would her father stop fighting for her sake?

A sense of confusion was subtly conveyed to Bai Yue through the sacred marks.

After Bai Yue noticed, she turned around and took her hand again, saying with a faint smile, "Don't think about it. How could I use you to threaten him? That would be too tasteless."

Froststar snapped out of her daze, her lips twitching. "Heh, so you do know that this kind of thing is tasteless? And you used it on me twice in a row. You're really wicked."

Then Bai Yue realized what had happened and realized, "Oh no, this has gone boomerang!" She quickly tried to salvage the situation.

"But I'm doing this for your own good. Look, you don't have to worry about Oripathy flaring up at any time now, and your brothers and sisters are getting food and lodging provided on Rhodes Island. Isn't that a good thing?!"

"If you say so, then it is."

"Hehe, that's it."

Chapter 80 W's Dream

Tick ​​tock...

Is that the sound of dripping water?

W opened his eyes and looked into the dark corridor, but saw no trace of water.

You must have heard it wrong.

W lifted her foot and followed the familiar path into the depths of the corridor. Even without lights, she did not hesitate, for she was so familiar with this place.

"Have you heard? Princess Theresa brought back a little girl, what's her name...W?"

“She’s not some little girl; she’s a Sarkaz mercenary with her own codename. Don’t underestimate her, or her bombs won’t be able to see you.”

"Alas, Kazdel..."

"Hey W, skipping class again? Want a roasted potato?"

W walked on, not knowing how long she had walked, when a sound, seemingly from nowhere, lingered around her for a long time.

The darkness in the corridor grew ever deeper.

When I lifted my foot again, I was in a desolate wilderness.

Looking at this familiar place, the wind blowing in her face, and the fine dust in the wind, W took a deep breath, looked up at the gloomy sky, and murmured:

"Kazdel..."

boom--

A violent explosion, scorching winds, flying limbs, and pools of flowing blood.

W immediately pounced down, skillfully pulled a rough piece of cloth from his pocket, tossed it around, and with a roll, blended into the surrounding terrain.

Soon, the sounds of fighting gradually faded away, leaving only the clamor of the wind.

W raised his head from the ground and saw that the ground was littered with mutilated bodies, with only the slight rise and fall of their chests proving that they were still alive.

She drew a small, crudely made knife from her leg and cautiously and slowly approached them.

During this process, a surge of joy welled up in her heart. Haha, she had found a bargain! If she could strip these people of their equipment, it would be enough for her to live a wealthy life for a while.

But this joy vanished when he saw their pained faces.

A Sarkaz mercenary stared blankly at her, reaching his remaining limbs toward a weapon that had fallen some distance away.

"why?"

W asked the question, her eyes filled with sorrow.

"What?" The Sarkaz mercenary was also puzzled. Why was this little girl talking to him? Shouldn't she just kill him and take everything from him?

“I don’t know.” W shook his head, looking confused. “I don’t know what I want to ask.”

"Ha...cough cough cough, hahaha."

The Sarkaz mercenary was amused. Despite his injuries and coughing up blood, he didn't care at all. As if he were having a final burst of energy before death, he asked, "Why would you have such a strange thought?"

W kicked away the weapon that was almost within his reach, sat down next to him, and said in a deep voice, "I don't know."

The Sarkaz mercenary froze, blood soaking his chin. After a long while, he looked up at the dark clouds, his voice rough like sand rubbing against sand: "So you're an idiot."

W frowned. She didn't accept that title. If it weren't for her clever and alert mind, she wouldn't be able to survive alone in this cruel place.

But seeing the Sarkaz mercenary about to bleed to death, she didn't seem to care much; she'd just consider it end-of-life care. She asked, "It was just a question, what's wrong with you?"

"Cough cough, the question itself is silly." The Sarkaz mercenary closed his eyes wearily and said weakly, "Birth, wielding the sword, plundering, death, only this. Kazdel has no room for anything superfluous. Who would waste their energy on this useless thinking?"

W opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything for a long time.

Yeah, that's a really silly question.

As she remained silent, the other Sarkaz and the ruins of the battlefield vanished without a trace, as if they had never been there.

Suddenly, a clap of thunder boomed, and a light drizzle began to fall from the sky.

W looked up, stretched out his hands to catch the rainwater, and washed the dust off his hands.

As the murky water settled, a vibrant green emerged from the ground, carrying morning dew and the dawn. The morning clouds were like a golden tapestry, their radiance breathtaking, a beauty beyond compare.

Looking at the clouds, W couldn't help but wonder what a beautiful thing it would be if it were woven into clothing.

"Cough cough!"

The painful cries of the Sarkaz mercenaries beside her interrupted her reverie.

She looked down at the lush grass, the babbling brook, and the shadows cast by the green forest.

The Sarkaz mercenary still lay on the ground, but his eyes were filled with these beautiful visions.

With a surge of emotion, W spoke up: "Hey, big oaf, want to live? Live here."

The Sarkaz mercenary's eyes were filled with longing as he murmured, "If I could live here for even a second longer, ha, child, you can have anything you want. Everything I have is yours."

W scoffed, "You've got a good plan. Even if you die, all of this will be mine."

However, she immediately said, "But... alright, Lord W is in a good mood today, so it's no trouble to help you. Be grateful!"
