"Speaking of which, Bronya, haven't you been to Herta's yet?"
Kiana put Bronya down and tilted her head, asking.
Bronya shook her head in response.
"Herta said I still need to wait two days, so I've been with Seele and the others during this time."
This past week, Bronya had mostly stayed with Seele, and occasionally went to the orphanage to play with Rosaria and the others.
It was just that every time she went, Xing always picked on Bronya.
But Bronya didn't mind and even took Xing along to play everywhere.
After a few days, Xing rarely bothered Bronya anymore, and whenever she saw Bronya, she would always act like a ruffled kitten with heterochromatic eyes.
A touch from Bronya would make her blush, then she'd enter tsundere mode.
"Pfft..."
After hearing about Bronya's past week, Kiana covered her mouth with a smile, then looked at Bronya with a sly gaze.
"Oh, you sinful Little Dot~"
"What do you mean?"
Bronya raised an eyebrow, somewhat confused by Kiana's words.
How was she sinful!
"Cough, cough~ It's nothing, Little Dot~"
"Don't always call Bronya Little Dot, Bronya will be taller than you eventually."
Bronya huffed and turned her head away, no longer looking at Kiana.
"Alright, alright~ Bronya will grow up... Ow! Bronya, why did you step on my foot again!"
As she spoke, Kiana felt a pain in her instep, then pointed at Bronya and said, annoyed.
This Little Dot would get a taste of her own medicine someday, just wait until she grew up!
"Hmph ╭(╯^╰)╮"
With her arms crossed, Bronya ignored Kiana.
Kiana pouted, then looked at their target for this trip, Seele.
"Seele, come here..."
"What is it, Big Sister Kiana?"
Seele was quite fond of this older sister who had rescued her and possessed a somewhat calm demeanor.
Of course, this was because Seele hadn't seen Kiana's childish and erratic side.
Bronya glanced over, wanting to see why Kiana had called Seele.
Kiana took Seele's and Bronya's hands and led them to the Sea of Quanta.
"This is... the Sea of Quanta..."
Seele was very familiar with this environment, as she had drifted here for a long time.
"Is this... the Sea of Quanta...?"
Bronya looked at the desolate Sea of Quanta and fell silent.
Seele must have felt incredibly lonely and scared, wandering in such an environment for so long... However, Black Seele declared—
With me by her side, Seele won't feel lonely at all!
"Big Sister Kiana, why did you bring me here?"
"Because the commotion outside would be too big,"
Kiana scratched her cheek, explaining.
Awakening a Herrscher suddenly in a crowded area would scare many people.
"...?"
Seele tilted her head in confusion.
Bronya seemed to have guessed something, nodding her head in realization.
Kiana simply gave Seele a mysterious smile, then snapped her fingers.
A power belonging to the Sea of Quanta condensed within Seele.
Soon, a gem similar to a herrscher core appeared within Seele's body.
The clearance of the Sea of Quanta condensed within the core; it was the clearance that governed creation and annihilation.
"The Sea of Quanta... feels even more familiar..."
Seele closed her eyes, feeling this power as she softly murmured.
Because of the herrscher core, Seele had formed a direct connection with the Sea of Quanta.
This made Seele feel that it had become more familiar than before, as if with a single thought, she could freely travel between the Sea of Quanta and reality.
Seele's appearance also changed at this moment.
Her shoulder-length short hair transformed into waist-length long hair.
Her left temple was adorned with pale blue flowers and antlers, both emitting a pure and sacred pale blue halo.
Her upper body was wrapped in a white dress, paired with a black skirt inlaid with pale blue flowers on the lower body.
The flowers on the skirt would open and close, seemingly symbolizing Seele's own clearance: creation and Decay.
Her fair, slender legs and delicate bare feet were crossed in the air, her round, jade-like toes resembling jade grapes.
But one thing greatly concerned Kiana... Kiana looked at her own leg rings, then at Seele's bandaged leg ring on her left leg... she just felt like some unknown transcendent existence was at work!
Why do Herrschers, or rather, many girls, wear leg rings!
The more she thought about it, the more terrifying it became!
She stopped overthinking and continued to admire Seele.
Bronya was also astonished by Seele's current fairy-like appearance.
Her Seele was this beautiful!
"Such a comfortable feeling..."
Seele slowly opened her pale blue, somewhat ethereal eyes.
Then she saw Kiana and Bronya staring blankly at her, and her face couldn't help but flush.
"Big Sister Kiana, Big Sister Bronya... don't look at Seele like that..."
Seele pressed her legs together, holding down the front of her skirt, and shyly fidgeted as she floated in the air.
"Seele, if you're considering a partner in the future, you can consider your Big Sister Kiana, you know!"
Kiana, having come back to her senses, flared her nostrils slightly, her face flushed, and pointed at herself, joking with Seele.
Bronya raised an eyebrow at the words.
Flirting with her in front of me?
But after thinking about it carefully, she also had a great fondness for Kiana now.
So... this wasn't flirting, this was a loving family!
"Pfft..."
Seele, her face still a little red, was so amused by Kiana's unreliable behavior that her shoulders trembled, and her nervousness vanished.
After laughing for a while, Seele wiped the corner of her eyes, then revealed a very gentle smile.
"If Big Sister Kiana doesn't mind."
Seele gently brushed her long hair behind her ear, her tone very soft.
"Cough, cough..."
Kiana clearly hadn't expected Seele to give such a bold answer.
"Well, let's go back, I just remembered I have some things to deal with..."
At Kiana's stiff excuse, Bronya and Seele exchanged glances.
In the instant their eyes met, they both saw a hint of amusement in the other's eyes, and tacitly said nothing.
Seeing through it but not saying anything still gave the somewhat shy Kiana a bit of face.
Kiana pulled the two back to Flowing Cloud Alley, then disappeared on the spot, leaving Seele and Bronya looking at each other in confusion.
Kiana had just sensed someone with the aura of a native world in the Sea of Quanta again, and went to retrieve them.
That person was Shigure Kira, who was an idol in a certain world bubble.
After Kiana went there, she placed a mark on the person. When she wanted to leave that world bubble in the future, the mark would guide her to Wangshu.
Seele's current attire quickly attracted a lot of attention.
Especially the strong vitality emanating from her.
But thinking that she was brought back personally by the General, no one stepped forward to ask more questions.
Seele also felt the surrounding gazes, which made her, with her naturally soft and gentle personality, shyly lower her head.
Seeing this, Bronya immediately took Seele's hand and used a simple transmission device to return to her home.
And just after the two left, a white-haired, blindfolded Damselette carrying an erhu walked out from the shadows, looking at the place where the two had disappeared.
If Kiana were there, she would definitely recognize her.
Isn't this the young lady, Jingliu, who previously slashed at Abyssal Star!
However, her current attire was just ordinary Xianzhou civilian clothes, making her look like a pitiful blind street performer.
