Ark Heroine Development Plan

The little crow flew onto Guan Yueli's shoulder at some point.

"Hmm?" Guan Yueli, who was busy stealing candy from the counter, raised an eyebrow. "What's wrong with it?"

"My Lord... doesn't want to keep this ordinary girl with no qualifications around, does he?"

The young girl, who inherited her mother's legacy, asked softly, "Will she be cut off from real society because of what happened today?"

Listening to the heart-wrenching and miserable wails coming from the kitchen, Guan Yueli threw candy into her mouth with a look of joy, as if she was listening to some heavenly music.

"So, Xiao Xiao He, you are really not suitable to be with us."

The little crow panicked visibly. "Master, Master, yes, yes, yes, I have overstepped my bounds. I will immediately dissect—"

"Ah, no, no, no, you're an Onmyoji, not a samurai. Why would you do a caesarean section? It's not pretty to leave a scar on a girl's belly."

Guan Yueli patted Crow's head with a smile: "I just think that young people like you are more... well, how should I put it, more civilized than us old guys."

"...I don't understand."

"If it's a normal murder, for any ordinary person, after doing it, they will indeed feel a sense of disconnection from society."

Guan Yueli picked up the bright red candy and put it into her mouth, chewing it slowly: "Not to mention the torture and killing, right?"

"Yes... so I don't quite understand why the master asked that girl to personally -"

"But little Lolo is different." Guan Yueli smiled and looked towards the aisle in the back kitchen. She could see the pleasing bright red flowing out from a door.

"It's not that she's different, it's that she acts...different."

"Xiao Xiao He, that's revenge."

Guan Yueli laughed and said, "In the eyes of us old folks, there is nothing more right or more pleasurable in this world than revenge!"

"No matter how cruel or tyrannical one is, it is absolutely right to inflict equal hatred and revenge on one's enemies!"

"The emptiness and confusion after revenge... that's all bullshit! Revenge is righteousness! Unquestionably, the righteousness of the universe!"

"So, little Lolo isn't killing anyone. She's just returning the suffering fate has inflicted on her."

"Do you think she'll be unable to sleep every night because of dreams about that guy's tragic death? Do you think she'll vomit when she eats meat because she thinks about that guy's tragic death?"

"No, absolutely not, Xiao Xiao He."

Guan Yueli gently stroked the crow's head. "Every night from now on will be peaceful and sweet. Every meal she eats will be joyful. She has killed all the cruelty of fate. After today... she will be completely alive again."

"What greets the Avengers will never be emptiness and nightmares, but the sunrise of the next day—of course, provided that the Avengers are not dead."

"Is that so..." Xiao Xiao He, who had been brainwashed by the old demon, nodded, half-understanding. "The Master is indeed as my mother said, a super-intelligent beauty!"

"Of course!" Guan Yueli smiled so much that her eyes curved up, and she held the crow in her arms and rubbed it.

Time passed by minute by minute. Guan Yueli teased the crow, occasionally stole a few candies, and leisurely listened to the wailing that was becoming less and less audible. He felt so comfortable.

Two hours later, the girl, covered in blood and flesh, staggered open the door, walked out, stumbled out, then threw herself into Guan Yueli's arms, crying loudly.

Xiao Xiao He silently flew into the kitchen to clean up the mess. The tragic scene inside made her scalp tingle.

Outside, Guan Yueli held the petite girl in her arms, gently stroking her trembling back, and said softly:

"It's all over, it's all over."

“Wuwuwuwu… Yes, I’m sorry, Sister Guanyue… I made your… clothes, your clothes are all dirty, wuwuwu…”

"You're crying about something like this." Guan Yueli rubbed her blood-stained head with a helpless smile, "Don't worry, my clothes will never get dirty."

"As for you, go take a shower quickly. There's so much blood, it will be very uncomfortable after it dries up. Sister Guanyue, I understand this very well."

"Sister Guanyue...can you please stay with me...?"

Guan Yueli was stunned for a moment, then pinched the girl's cheek helplessly:

"I really can't do anything with you..."

……

"Huh... This little guy still has so much energy after two hours of hard work. It's really not easy."

Guan Yueli glanced at Ronali who was fast asleep on the bed, casually put on her kimono, and slowly tied the belt.

"My Lord, are you just leaving like this?"

Xiao Xiao He looked at Ronali's sleeping face. Just as Guan Yueli said, the girl's expression at this moment was so peaceful and beautiful, as if she was having a wonderful dream.

No, it shouldn't be like that, she must be having a sweet dream.

"What else?" Guan Yueli tilted her head. "Although I like this child very much, this is enough."

She stood up, looked back at the little girl who was sleeping soundly, and said softly:

“Some people are not destined to walk under the gray sky. Just watch the rising sun tomorrow, my good boy.”

Guan Yueli walked out of the room, intending to close the door quietly.

Then, before closing the door, Guan Yueli's hand suddenly stopped.

"Really..." She rubbed her forehead, "Are all young girls nowadays so physically strong and energetic?"

"Guan Yue...sister."

Ronali rolled up the quilt and looked at Guan Yueli outside the door and asked softly:

"Are you leaving?"

"Yeah." Guan Yueli reopened the door, leaned against the doorframe, and said with a smile, "You have your own life too. If you suddenly close for such a long time at noon, the customers downstairs must be waiting anxiously."

"But this... this is the life Sister Guanyue gave me!"

The film girl suddenly got up from the bed excitedly, jumped out of the bed naked, ran towards Guan Yueli, and hugged her tightly.

"The things I like to do and the life I want are all given to me by Sister Guanyue... So, Sister Guanyue... any kind of life doesn't matter, any kind of world is fine..."

The girl stood on tiptoe and reached out to touch Guan Yueli's face.

Her face was flushed: "As long as it is given to me by Sister Guanyue, no matter what kind of life it is, no matter what kind of world it is... I can accept it!"

“So, kids nowadays…”

Guan Yueli sighed softly: "Have you really thought it through?"

Ronali nodded vigorously.

"Then swallow this."

Guan Yueli took out something from somewhere.

A piece of...black crystal.

"This...this is..."

"It's Originium." Guan Yueli said indifferently.

"If Little Lolo had any qualifications, I would definitely bring you with me, but... it's not suitable. You are not suitable to live in my world, Little Lolo."

"Ah, of course. With my ability to protect you, it's absolutely no problem. But little Lolo, you have to understand one thing."

"I really enjoy being around children and watching energetic young people grow, but... I hate having pets. I really hate it."

"Little Taotie is an exception. It's more like a companion than a pet..."

"I've strayed off topic. Anyway, little Lolo, do you know what you'll become when you're around me?"

Guan Yueli placed his index finger between the girl's eyebrows and said softly:

“It’s a pet.”

"To be admired, to be patted on the head, to satisfy sexual desires, to please me... a pet."

Looking at the dazed girl, the woman sighed softly: "This is reality. If you were by my side, I wouldn't be able to treat you as a younger sister like Xiaoxing. After all, I am such a bad woman."

"No, it's okay!" Ronelle said anxiously, "It's not a pet—"

Guan Yueli pressed the girl's lips.

"You can't say that, little Lolo." She stared at the girl in front of her and said softly, "If you say that, I won't like you anymore."

The film girl's body suddenly trembled violently, and her tears immediately flowed uncontrollably. Then, as if to promise that she would never say such words again, she nodded vigorously.

"Be good." Guan Yueli touched her head.

"Little Lolo, this is... I think you're not suitable for this, you know?"

"I like young people because... they're different from the old guys who are rotten."

"They have value, as valuable as the sun. In my eyes, those who deny their own value as human beings, no matter what the reason, no matter what the cause..."

The ghost's eyes were cold.

"It's all disgusting."

"But I don't blame you." Guan Yueli's voice suddenly became gentle again. "I told you that you're different. You don't have the resolve to sacrifice everything to carry out your mission, nor do you have the moral integrity to uphold even if it means going against my will. This is the difference between you and them, but it's not your problem. This is perfectly normal."

"I'm very happy that you like me very much, but for many things, just the word 'like' is not enough."

The girl, whose tears were gradually drying, stared at Guan Yueli in a daze. Suddenly, she snatched the black crystal from her hand and swallowed it without hesitation.

"I...I can do it."

She clenched Guan Yueli's hand tightly, pleading, "I can prove it to Sister Guan Yue! Is this enough? Is swallowing this enough? Haven't I... already done it?"

"I don't understand Sister Guanyue... I don't understand what Sister Guanyue wants, but I will try my best. I will do my best to do it, Sister Guanyue, I——"

"Okay, little Lolo." Guan Yueli's tone did not contain any impatience, but she gently pushed the girl in her arms away.

"What exactly is my answer? Don't you already have the answer in your heart?"

The girl who had been destroyed and then saved stood there, tears streaming down her face.

"I see."

She forced a smile and said, "Actually, I already knew it when I was taking a shower just now."

"It's just... I don't want to give up. Even if there's only a one in ten million chance, even if there's only... only this small chance, I still want to, wuwuwuwu... I also want to try it!"

Ronali collapsed on the ground and burst into tears. This time, Guan Yueli did not step forward.

After a long time, she sobbed and asked:

"Sister Guanyue, do you hate me now?"

"Of course I don't hate her." Guan Yueli said with a smile, "Who would hate a good girl who is sensible, obedient and smart?"

"That's it..."

The girl burst into laughter and said, "That's good. That's great."

She stood up unsteadily and wiped the tears from her face. The weakness on her face disappeared, replaced by incomparable determination.

"I know I can't enter Sister Guanyue's world, but...but there is one thing I can still do!"

"I will always love Sister Guanyue in my life, for sure!"

"Then I will accept it with great joy." The woman replied with a bright smile.

Ronali nodded vigorously: "Yes!"

"Then I'll leave first?"

"Ah - wait, Sister Guanyue, that..."

She hesitated for a moment, then asked quietly, "Can I ask another question... which might be a little too much?"

Guan Yueli answered readily: "Go ahead."

"Sister Guanyue...can you come visit me in the future?"

The girl begged softly.

"Ah... I thought it was something else." Guan Yueli laughed, "Of course, I would come even without Xiao Luoluo telling me."

"Really?!"

Guan Yueli answered seriously: "Of course, I never lie! Well, I'll leave first. I'll buy you some candy next time. Goodbye, little Lolo~"

"Very good……"
