Thanks for the invitation, I am in the state of collapse, brushing attribute upgrade

Li Sushang, who had never expected Gwen to take her hair from her hands, froze slightly. However, looking at Gwen's smile, Li Sushang slowly shook her head and smiled carefreely.

“Now that it’s lost, let it go.

After all, people still have to live in the present and look forward to the future...

As for the past, just keep it in mind."

"Ha ha……

Looking at it this way, I am the one who is obsessed..."

Hearing this, Gwen laughed, and the soft hair slipped from his fingertips and merged into his thick hair.

"Um……"

Seeing Gwen's seemingly relaxed smile, Li Sushang's heart moved and she spoke softly -

"Gwen..."

"Ok?"

“Can you… help me comb my hair?

It's suddenly become so much shorter, I'm afraid I'm not used to it..."

"..."

Hearing this lame excuse, and seeing the girl who always looked at him with those bright eyes now looking away, Gwen's heart moved, and he nodded vigorously.

"it is good……"

Helping the girl to sit in front of the dressing mirror, Gwen picked up the wooden comb and gently combed her thick hair. He didn't say anything else, but just carefully took care of the hair in front of him. At the same time, he secretly opened the third-level gene lock and frantically deduced how to take care of the girl's long hair.

Thanks to Gwen's efforts, the girl's long, thick black hair was neatly and tidy.

Looking at herself in the mirror, Li Sushang, her heart in turmoil, didn't know what to say at the moment. She just tried to find a topic in the silence that made her more and more anxious.

"Gwen, you seem very skilled. Have you combed other people's hair before?"

After saying that, Li Sushang had the urge to slap herself——

Is this what should be said?

At this moment, Li Sushang could only pray that Gwen didn't know the meaning behind these words...

"No, even how to comb your hair is something I figured out by recalling your past appearance."

Looking at the girl's rosy face in the mirror, Gwen smiled slightly.

"Su Shang, are you feeling unwell?

My face seems to be very red..."

"Um?

what……

I'm a little sleepy, maybe because I used up too much energy from flying the sword earlier..."

Li Suchang was stunned when she heard this, but she immediately realized that this might be the only way to escape from the current embarrassment, so she lied immediately.

"In that case, you should have a good rest."

Hearing the panic in the girl's words, Gwen said with a smile.

"I won't bother you for now. Remember not to oversleep and miss the dinner tonight..."

Having said that, Gwen left the girl's boudoir on his own accord.

"..."

After Gwen left, Li Sushang sat there for a long time.

After confirming that Gwen had left, the usually carefree Li Sushang suddenly covered her face with her hands in a very unpresentable manner, and screamed like a groundhog in her heart -

"what……

What were you doing just now!

"..."

After calming down a little, Li Suchang looked up at herself in the mirror again, raised her hand and gently stroked her bun, feeling that it was too rigid, and suddenly revealed a faint smile.

Even the free-spirited children of Jianghu are inevitably trapped in the love between father and daughter...

On the other side, Gwen, who thought the examination was almost done, quietly came to the research center and prepared to check on Anna and Ji Zi again.

Although Otto probably won't do anything out of line now, Gwyn still hopes that the two of them can stay safe within his sight if possible.

However, before Anna and Jizi arrived, Gwen first saw another figure who often appeared here——

"Meiyi?

Did you come here to take the test right after finishing your mission?"

Seeing the purple-haired girl, Gwyn stood up and took the initiative to greet her.

"Um……"

Seeing that it was Gwyn, Meiyi also showed a warm smile on her pretty face——

"Although I wasn't able to do anything before, I did come into contact with the power of two Herrschers in succession. I want to see if my own power has changed in any way."

"How is the result?"

Hearing this, Gwen couldn't help but show curiosity.

“There wasn’t anything particularly remarkable.”

Mei shook her head slightly, with a hint of disappointment between her brows.

As a Herrscher, she watched Anna and Jizi gain the power of the Burning Sky and Frozen Sea in the blink of an eye, while she herself was still as slow as a turtle. This inevitably dealt a heavy blow to the strong-willed girl.

"...

Meiyi, come with me..."

Seeing the worry in the girl's brow, Gwyn guessed the reason and pulled her into a room.

Pulling the girl to sit down, Gwen looked into her light purple eyes that were filled with some doubt, and slowly asked -

"Mei, are you worried about your slow progress in strength?"

"Um……"

Mei was still a little worried, thinking that Gwen was pulling her into the small room to do something. When she heard this, her eyes suddenly became complicated, and the little thoughts in her heart were immediately suppressed.

Looking into those eyes, as blue as the sky, which seemed to be able to embrace everything, Mei nodded slowly, not hiding much, and poured out all the sorrow in her heart...

421

Chapter 421 Meiyi didn’t want to and could only watch.

Facing Mei who was pouring out her sorrows, Gwen did not show any impatience and listened quietly.

It was nothing more than the feeling of powerlessness when facing the power of the Herrscher today. In addition, Anna and Ji Zi, who also possessed the power of the Herrscher, suddenly became powerful people who could burn the sky and boil the sea with a wave of their hands, but he did not even have the ability to face the cold current and sea of fire released when they were born.

Comparing the two, a huge sense of gap emerged in the girl's heart.

Even such a Herrscher had no power to struggle in front of Gwyn and could only transform into the power of Anna and Himeko.

This strength, which made it difficult for Mei to even see his back, made the stubborn girl feel that it was difficult to catch Gwyn...

However, although she had decided to tell Gwyn everything she was thinking, as her emotions were released, Mei felt a little shy because she had said everything she was thinking in this way, and a blush appeared on her delicate cheeks.

"If I tell you everything like this, I'll feel like a child looking for his parents, right?"

Just as the girl was worrying that her immature behavior would lead to contempt, her body suddenly felt lighter.

When Mei came to her senses, she was surprised to find herself in a warm embrace.

Feeling the warmth from the big hand on her abdomen, Mei looked at Gwen with a blushing face.

However, when she met those eyes filled with pity, Mei swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth, and even her subconscious struggle softened a lot.

"I'm sorry, Mei, I put too much pressure on you..."

Holding Mei's still immature but already well-developed body in his arms, Gwen whispered against her delicate earlobe.

Just one sentence was enough to dispel all the melancholy and confusion in the girl's heart.

"I……"

The girl opened her mouth to say something, but her tender pink lips were already blocked. Her helpless little tongue became a captive without any struggle, drifting with the flow. The room was also filled with a bit of charm because of the subtle sound of water.

Holding the girl's delicate body in his arms, feeling the softness on his body, Gwen wrapped his arms around her plump and strong waist and softly explained to Mei the situation Anna and Himeko were facing.

"In other words... I will also need to face the Herrscher consciousness born from the Conquest Gem in the future?"

After listening to Gwen's explanation, Meiyi, whose face was as rosy as a peach, couldn't help but look stern and asked seriously.

"Not really."

Gwen could feel the delicate body in his arms tense a little, but he shook his head slightly.

"Mei, your situation is different from Anna's.

Mei, because of the stigmata on your body, you have a higher compatibility with the Conquest Gem—

Like now, you have gradually developed its power through practice and training.

Although it is still small now, one day you will be able to discover the power within it.

Furthermore, with the stigmata on your body, you, Mei, may have the hope of turning them into your own strength in the future."

"Ok?"

Hearing Gwen's words, Mei was stunned and a little confused.

"This involves things I only have a rough idea of—"

Gwen organized his words and continued to explain—

"The so-called Herrscher's Core is, to some extent, just the Cocoon of the End, the projection cast by the Source of the Collapse in search of qualified individuals.

When it finds a suitable recipient in the future, those scattered projections will naturally have no meaning in their existence."

"In other words... when you, Gwyn, completely defeat the Honkai Impact in the future, the current Herrschers... and even the Divine Key will gradually lose their Herrscher powers?"

Meiyi pondered for a moment and said in surprise.

"As expected of Mei, you're really smart."

Spitting lightly on the girl's cheek, Gwen continued speaking under the girl's reproachful gaze—

"While I would try to avoid slowing down or even canceling the process, there are still too many uncertainties.

If possible, I still hope that you can transform as much of the Herrscher's power as possible into power that you can truly control.

Instead of just gaining the right to use it, once the core dissipates, they will be reduced to their original form.

In this regard, Mei, you have a unique advantage——

You can tap into the power of the core and the stigmata simultaneously. In the process of mastering the power of the Herrscher, you can use it to strengthen your own stigmata and transform them into the power of the stigmata.

Even if the core dissipates in the future, Meiyi can still use this power through the stigmata.

However, if you take this path, your progress will inevitably be much slower than others."

"Um……"

Listening to Gwen's words, Mei quietly lowered her head on Gwen's shoulder, a look of happiness on her pretty face that was still slightly flushed.

Gwyn did not forget her, but hoped that she could go further, which made the girl's hesitation disappear.

However, even though she already knew Gwen's thoughts, the strong-willed girl still felt a little unwilling -

"only……

If that's the case, I won't be able to help you at all. I can only be of use to you after you defeat Honkai..."

Even though Mei believes that Gwyn can defeat Honkai, the girl still hopes that she can help her lover in the process.

She didn't want to... She could only watch from afar as he carried everything on his shoulders, but she could do nothing.

"Um……"
