Saying the wrong thing could make matters worse.
"Okay, feel free to come to me if you encounter any problems."
Otto paused, recalling how the golden-eyed Kallen had withstood that devastating attack, and then coughed lightly to add:
"Don't worry, I'm here, you'll be fine."
Karen nodded calmly, then slowly walked home. Unlike before, she wasn't attracted by the novelties along the roadside, and her eyes didn't even focus on what was ahead. She simply followed her instincts and memories to get home.
Back home, Karen didn't forget the important thing.
He gave Arthur all of Otto's instructions and methods, and received a positive reply.
"Great! This news came just in time. It turns out that those nobles wanted to take advantage of the fact that we didn't know about this news and try to harvest as much of Kaslana's wealth as possible. Our family's economy is not in too much trouble for the time being."
"Yes, Grandpa Arthur asked you to handle some trivial matters."
Karen lowered her eyes, and her smile was not sunny.
Arthur looked at Kallen with concern, her face showing signs of exhaustion. According to information from other family members, Kallen had fought and defeated a giant Honkai Beast in the town of Freud during the day, so she must be tired now.
"Miss, you don't look well. Why don't you go and get some sleep?"
Karen gave a noncommittal reply and walked back to the house alone.
Instead of lying down to sleep, she went to the bathroom and quietly soaked in the warm water.
A hazy mist filled the entire cabin, and the bright candlelight flickered gently.
Karen looked down, slowly raised her almost perfect arm, and reached out to touch her reflection in the water.
Gently, Karen placed her index finger on the reflection of those azure eyes, which appeared somewhat vivid and dazzling under the firelight.
Karen could not truly touch that phantom.
For so many years, Karen only took a bath in two situations: when she was sweating or dirty, or when she couldn't figure something out.
After a long silence, he tried to speak several times, but no sound came out.
Perhaps I can't, perhaps I don't want to.
She was not as selfless and great as one might imagine.
He was to choose between saving one person and saving the world, but he could never make a choice.
After a moment, Karen managed a bitter smile, her reflection in the water particularly clear.
"Am I wrong? I seem to have let Kaslana down."
"It would be better if we could keep making the same mistakes."
After finishing, she gently closed her eyes and gradually drifted off to sleep in the warm pool.
Seeing that Karen had fallen asleep, Su Xin once again took over the body, but her face was full of: "Why are you going to sleep so soon, girl? You usually wash yourself clean first and then take a nap."
"I'm so tired from fighting all day, I might as well enjoy a bath."
Su Xin revealed a sly smile, her mouth twisted like the Dragon King's, and casually took the Otto-made shower gel and began to apply it to every part of her body.
"Mmm, so smooth and fragrant. To be able to experience modern pleasures in the Middle Ages is a joy that is hard to describe."
Su Xin hummed a cheerful tune as she squeezed out shower gel and rubbed it from her palms to her arms.
Then she showed off her slender neck. Despite eating so much every day, her delicate collarbones were clearly visible. When Su Xin bent down, the area between her collarbones and neck could even be used as a depression to hold water.
"It feels so childish, but no one knows anyway," Su Xin laughed, continuing to play the seemingly childish game.
Just like when she was very young, Su Xin would silently chant in her heart when walking on a checkered path: "Don't step on the black checkered pattern, or I'll die."
After playing with the collarbone and catching water, Su Xin reached her hands toward those sinful peaks.
It is so impressive and stunning that even holding it in both hands feels a bit heavy.
"Hiss, is it just my imagination? It seems like I've grown a little more. Does it really not affect my ability to fight?"
Su Xin was seriously considering a question.
Whether it's Velvi, Aponia, or Eden, none of them are warriors; their combat style leans towards support or ranged damage output.
Hua Youmebius, clearly a spiritual fusion warrior and a "scientist," fights by charging into hand-to-hand combat with the enemy.
Thousand Calamities, Kevin, Kosmo, and almost all male fusion warriors are melee fighters.
During the daytime battle with that Emperor-level Honkai Beast, Su Xin felt a distinct sense of unease, especially the jumping mechanics; it was truly unbearable.
Should we suggest to Otto that he make the cover in advance?
As a grown man, I cannot accept being made a plaything by another man, neither from a spiritual nor mental standpoint.
With her thoughts racing, Su Xin was thinking about serious matters, but her body was honestly lowering itself, trying to dig a well that would continuously flow with water on the barren land that had been cultivated for several years.
"Eek!!"
Su Xin didn't react and made any strange noises.
The restlessness was uncontrollable, like a sudden rainstorm and gale. The once indestructible dam broke in an instant, and the water flowed out like a runaway mist and rain.
Sometimes it flows gently, sometimes the water is calm and still.
The great pianist accompanied the performance under the dim light, his slender fingers striking the keys at a high frequency without stopping.
It plays light and airy notes, blending into the noisy wind and sinking into the still water.
The calm sea surface was stirred into turbulent waves, with clouds and rain swirling and storms raging.
"Mmm"
The never-ending aria eventually comes to an end in a tremolo.
"I'll never play like this again," Su Xin said, her hand trembling as she leaned weakly against the edge of the pool. Her face was flushed, and her breathing was heavy.
There is a type of person named Su Xin who seems to be just as much of a fun-loving person as the author.
Chapter 41 Appealing to Both the Refined and the Popular
If you keep going like this, I'm really going to write something. No matter what, Karen, it's not a good thing for your body to become more and more sensitive. Experiencing it once or twice is enough.
You won't experience any aftereffects after you break free, but before you do, your physical sensitivity levels are similar. I'm worried you might become addicted and harm other good girls.
The system said disdainfully, but then added again:
Ha, you can only bully a clueless little girl like Karen. Of course, it's also possible that you were too reserved 50,000 years ago, and now that no one can control you, you're revealing your true nature.
Su Xin crossed her arms and jokingly said, "Life is long and bitter, so seize the day and enjoy life while you can. Don't let worries hold you back from taking a single step."
Hmm, do women also have a post-coital period?
"I'm just expressing my opinion, not taking a 'wise man's time. I feel much lighter, this method really does eliminate fatigue quickly."
That was temporarily overshadowed by excitement and impulse.
"Of course I know. It's the same principle as drinking coffee. When the body is tired, it's a physical thing, as long as the brain doesn't feel it. Kaslana isn't an ordinary person. Do you think she would suddenly die from some minor issue?"
"As long as she's conscious enough, her physical condition is secondary to Kaslana's. Kaslana's physical abilities allow her to survive a freefall from ten thousand meters after being shot in the head, puh, is that even possible, haha?"
You're going to be Bianca in the future? Looking at your memory, it's certainly exaggerated. As for the issue of sudden death...
I can tell you definitively that it won't happen. Kaslana's physical condition is not weak enough to cause sudden death easily. However, it is undeniable that your actions just now were considered vulgar by the general public.
"People are just not frank enough. They keep calling things vulgar, but nothing is objectively vulgar. It's just a matter of giving a definition."
"Consciousness objectively exists as a subjective reflection; most people's lives are nothing more than a fleeting dream, with a little excitement and most suffering."
"They would rather get caught up in trivial matters that embarrass them than look up and see where they can and should reach their destination."
"The world's opinion has nothing to do with me. Anyway, the world won't weep for my death, nor will it smile at me because my actions conform to its views."
Isn't it ridiculous to live within the rules and regulations set by others?
"People would rather kneel down to the honors of others for security than invest their time and happiness."
"Besides, I've long since stopped caring about these things. No amount of rules or ideas matters to me. You have to learn to appreciate both the refined and the common, understand?"
Hmm, it really seems like he only speaks during a period of deep meditation.
That's not entirely wrong either. They despise each other, yet flatter each other. People each aspire to be superior to others, yet each grovels before others.
Wait, aren't you going to try to change the subject from my vulgarity?
"you know me."
You know how to make excuses.
Su Xin and the system spoke in unison, with only slight differences in their words.
Having lived together for 50,000 years, they have long been intimately familiar with each other's behavioral logic and lifestyle habits.
Su Xin, who was reserved and introverted, always followed the rules and regulations, and was honest and dutiful according to the definition of human society, would have died long ago on the battlefield of the end.
Nothing is gained without a price; fate has only yet to demand it.
What is lost demands more, while what is gained remains silent in the passage of time.
People often realize how much they have gained only after they have lost it.
Losing her life meant losing everything that affirmed Su Xin's life's value; she would never again be the familiar stranger she once was.
The result after its complete annihilation.
Stroking the bright moon, ten thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye in the human world.
Holding hands with your loved one to watch the sunset and sunrise at the beach, kissing in the dappled sunlight filtering through the trees, chasing each other in the light drizzle.
It carries all of Su Xin's colors.
Every day after that was different, yet all equally meaningless.
He tried different ways to get back that feeling, like a child who, after growing up, goes to buy the toys they liked back then or eat the cheap snacks they craved.
But without a doubt, and without a doubt, Su Xin lost completely, just like all grown-up children.
His sorrowful, old-fashioned love, like a childhood kite, disappeared into the storage room and into the sky of the past after becoming rusty.
Su Xin stopped her vulgar behavior, rested her cheeks between her hands, and looked at the water droplets on the pool bank, which concealed a grand and beautiful world.
With a gentle touch, water droplets seemed to be drawn to Su Xin's pretty fingers.
Warm mist emanated from the pool. Su Xin stood sideways, closed her eyes, and slowly sank down, leaving only half of her head exposed.
Bubbles rose one after another from the surface of the water and continued for a full two and a half minutes.
Su Xin looked up again, took a deep breath, and continued blowing bubbles.
"You have plenty of time," the system couldn't help but mutter.
"Hmm, you have pretty high emotional intelligence."
Yeah, you know I'm here when you're bored.
Su Xin cupped a puddle of water in her hands. Her leisure time was boring, but it was also exceptionally comforting. This childish behavior was indeed able to relax her heart, which had been imprisoned by the divine sound.
Currently, the only thing Su Xin knows is how to calm her mind without going against her obsession or resisting the divine voice.
No longer bound by morality or reason, I will do everything that has ever truly made my heart feel interested.
Even divine voices possess wisdom, knowing that time cannot be turned back, tacitly accepting that such actions are meaningless, and thus interfering with obsessions to zero.
Apart from that person, no one can return to the origin, because as a living being, a person is constantly changing, and their state is different at every moment. How could they possibly return to the origin precisely?
Su Xin smiled helplessly, her dimples like sweet spring water, her beautiful face reflected in the water, like a dream.
"But don't you think these boring and childish behaviors are cool and interesting?"
Do you want to hear what you have to say?
"Humans are inherently contradictory; no matter how much you think about it, it's still the same. So don't you find it funny?"
My assessment: It's not as good as I thought. Despite the explicit title, illogical plot, poor writing, stiff characters, awkward dialogue, and repetitive tropes (a two-minute non-stop rant), it was quite enjoyable.
"A strange little thing? Let's hear its name."
Urban setting: The domineering CEO falls in love with me.
"Are you female?"
I feel offended.
"or no?"
