With just one outburst, she regained a lot of her sanity. Should we say she is the most mature among the Fragment Sisters?
Panting heavily, Kong was about to lift Ling up when he saw Ling's chest rising and falling, as if he had a stitch in the side. The corners of his lips were rippling like the shimmering water of a lake, and his eyes were deformed with tears rolling in a cartoon-like manner.
He took the initiative to stand up, put the woman who was pressing on him on his knees, and kissed her back. This kiss was like revenge and proof, and also contained his longing.
"…The sun is falling. I was just about to scold you, but now you've sucked it all away!"
Ling, who was retaliated by Kong, bit him for a full minute before reluctantly retracting the tail that was tying Kong.
"That's what I was going to say, okay? I was going to complain about you using your good memories of me to defend yourself."
"Who told you, my enemy, not to come back? Just for this dream, I wrote more than 200 sour poems for you and asked Sister Xi to draw pictures for you. Damn it, I was not prepared at all. You came back too suddenly."
The Yan dialect switched back to official Mandarin. Ling Mengmeng nudged Kong's nose with the tip of his nose again before switching to work mode.
If possible, she hoped to stay in the dream forever, but Kong broke into her dream, so he must have something to tell her.
"I didn't come back. What you see now is my psychic projection. My soul and body are in the other world."
"So you really ascended out of Terra and this universe? I thought you were finding an excuse to escape from your marriage."
Because the person is right in front of me, I even feel emotional and confused.
"I left without saying goodbye because this land can't bear my existence. Now I can't say that Terra will welcome me back again. By the way, Ling, you usually drink alone and don't have any deep hatred. Were you eliminated by others?"
Since his old lover wanted to joke, Kong didn't mind making a few sarcastic remarks in return.
"Why are you bringing up that? It's over already! Kal'tsit kicked him out."
Once again, a round of seamless switching between dialect and Mandarin was completed - Ling felt a little aggrieved.
"Well, there aren't many operators more suitable than you."
The main thing is that you not only meet the requirements but also have some free time——
He was complaining on an empty stomach, but seeing that Ling obviously got what he meant, he slapped his paw with his tail to show his dissatisfaction.
"Are you trying to comfort me? Kal'tsit has already decided to take action herself."
"Her personally? Rhodes Island is quitting? Terra is going to be finished?"
"No, didn't you ask her to go? And there really is no one more suitable than her."
"Hmm?? My records didn't say that?? Didn't I want the operators from Longmen and Yan Country to go over and help?"
"…Damn it, she lied!"
Ling's dragon horn suddenly became bluer, blood rushed to his head, and he was so angry that he was fuming.
"So she hid her needs from you!"
"Ah? What did she do?"
"During the meeting a few days ago, she said that she and Huafalin would go to help you! She didn't even mention that you wanted someone else. What a bad guy! No, I want to argue with her!!"
Today should be the day she cursed the most in recent years. Usually she was elegant and casual, but when she thought of Sora speaking of his demands with an innocent look on his face under her, and the so-called devoted Queen Mother of Rhodes Island hiding the truth and not letting everyone know it, she was really hateful!
"Hey, she actually did something shady?? I thought she would be more considerate of the overall situation."
"She was probably anxious because it was little sister Haiya who went... But no matter what, it's inappropriate for her to hide it! We heard that you were still alive and planned for a long time how to meet you! How can we let her get away with it so easily--"
Ling Ling lifted up Kong's face with both hands and pinched it: "Hey, but it's no use just exposing her. She is shameless and there's nothing we can do about it. Otherwise, I'll pull you over and you can tell her in your dream that she wants me to serve you!"
㈣ Ling immediately turned from being angry to smiling, as if he had already thought of the Queen Mother Kai who had a sour face but dared not say anything.
㈧ "…Do you want me to be reborn and die again?"
Sikong almost lay back down and continued to cling to the cold stone bench: "...Kal'tsit has no credit but has worked hard. I can understand her, but this is not something that can be solved by treating everyone equally. Why don't you tell her that I asked for the help of the Yan people in your dream? She will definitely not let anyone know if she has something to hide."
Moreover, if they really wanted to warp over to send reinforcements, they would have to pass Party A's certification. Kal'tsit herself believed that she was qualified, but the result was that she failed the certification and had to argue with Sora.
9 Even though they are an old married couple, it's not good after all.
０ “Well, you still want me to play the villain, and you get all the good stuff.”
⒌ “Uh, Ling, you understand, do you understand? You understand——” Kong used a series of Riddler moves and amused Ling who was teasing him again.
"Tsk, of course I understand. Okay, I'll deal with her. But since you've barged in, you should have the attitude of asking for help, right~"
As he said that, Ling gently pushed Sora's chest again, letting her lie down again while placing her elbows elegantly on his chest: "You've discovered my little secret. It's been such a long time since we last met. Doctor, you won't spoil my fun, will you?"
"...You can do whatever you want, as long as you can deal with Kal'tsit."
"Okay, I'll take one of the two spots, and my sisters will take one. Our business capabilities in the other world won't be bad either. Besides, aren't we better at fighting and socializing? It'll also be more convenient for us to move around~"
The cheeks propped up on the empty pectoral muscles gave a sly wink.
361. Year
In the workshop where sparks were flying and the flames were raging, the girl with white hair and red horns raised her hammer and chiseled beautiful shell patterns on the gift prepared for someone.
The beautiful crimson-purple eyes were brighter than the stove light, and the white scales on the tail were regaining their luster, indicating that its owner was in a good mood.
She knew that the weapons she forged might not be of any help, and the doctor could always find better ones, but the value of a gift lies in the unique meaning that the giver gives it, which can be labor and time, or a subjective concept of value, and it also depends on the degree of mutual respect between the two parties.
In addition, Nian's focus had long since changed - under the influence of Kong, she paid more attention to the practicality of weapons than before. In the information Kal'tsit sent to them, Kong's height had increased a lot, enough to wield weapons that had more stringent requirements on the center of gravity than before. Therefore, according to his combat habits, Nian chose a forging hammer instead of a forging sword.
"…it should be very comfortable to hold it like this."
After flicking the completely cooled metal block, she was very satisfied with the workmanship of this weapon - it was absolutely top-notch among all her works.
The rekindled old love can indeed make the somewhat rusty and confused skills return to their peak, and what your sister said is absolutely right.
The hammer body was thick and the handle was tough. The doctor had a deep obsession with "armor-breaking", so the spear and mace were his favorites. Although they often discussed swords, the sword was more like a kind of ritual and a tool for sharpening himself to him. It expressed meaning rather than form. He rarely used it in battle. Even when he was attacked from the rear and forced to counterattack, he usually used heavy objects and guns. He especially liked saws, hammers and flanged staffs. She always remembered this extreme pragmatism, but even though she had teased Sora for his strange taste before, she was more or less lazy because she was used to his constant sense of fulfillment and did not catch the opportunity to give him a gift...
It was not until he disappeared that the emotion called regret filled my heart.
Ever since someone left, Nian felt that his life had become a bit boring, and it had been a long time since he had hammered and forged things as seriously as he had recently.
It wasn't that she didn't go out to relax, nor that the work that Rhodes Island and Simi Tai wanted to assign to her was not enough for her to do. It was just that every night, she always felt like something was missing.
Of course, the doctor is not everything in the life of an operator. Even if that stupid kid Xi is gone, he can still live without Sora. But at least... he is an important part of everyone's life and memory. He is important to both the veteran employees of Rhodes Island and to people like himself who will not always work hard for the ideals of others.
Fortunately, he is still alive. As soon as she heard Kal'tsit say that the doctor had reported safety to everyone, she ran back from Shangshu to Longmen where Rhodes Island was stationed to inquire about the news frequently. But this time, it seemed that the old lynx was wary of her, while he obviously didn't care about her visiting before.
Not only your sister, but even Old Six, who rarely leaves Yan Country, has come to ask about the two "support quotas". One is that they want to get out of Terra to see the world, and the other is to catch up with old friends. But unfortunately Kal'tsit said that the Doctor wants the most reliable person to go to the other world to help him "build an empire". Even though Amiya's explanation was hesitant, the general meaning was clear. The Doctor hopes not only for a woman with outstanding combat power and business ability, but also a "close relationship" to help him keep things under control. However, since Nian admits that he is not the "most reliable" or the most likable one, it seems that there is no room for maneuver in this matter.
Alas, to be honest, if you want to find someone to help you bring gifts, you have to look at the expression of the person who is going to the appointment.
"Can you come back for a visit? I mean, I've brought you here, but I still want to take you to Shangshu City to eat everything."
The forged magic weapon was packaged and some festive decorations with a very personal style were made. She had never been so serious when directing the actors' costumes and makeup. Pleasing a man is also a technical job. You have to make sure that this thing is clearly forged by her. Kong is easier to understand and there is no need to mess around. As long as he gets the hang of the hammer, he will definitely remember his good points.
"What a shame... It would have been great if you had called me over, and even said you would personally prepare hot pot for me. But you've been gone for such a long time and didn't even send me a letter or anything. I have to be the one thinking about you."
His eyes were rarely absent-minded but gentle for a moment. The young man sighed and prepared to mail the things to the penguin. No matter what, she had to live her life - and it was not completely without chance. She still had a long life. Even if she asked someone to go over to accompany him to travel once a year, it would always be her turn. It's just that she was already accustomed to the lifestyle of ordinary people and was a little anxious for the moment.
"Hey, Laojiu! Isn't this the chance?"
But as if she couldn't bear to see her sister, who usually danced the most happily, comforting herself with a good woman's look on her face, a tuft of blue hair suddenly jumped in from the windowsill. If Nian hadn't just sealed the box and treasured it behind him, the strange thing would not have been met with her lactic gaze but a frontal slash of the heavy sword when it flew in.
"Huh?? Sister Ling, why do you always appear suddenly?"
The guy who strode into the workshop with a wine gourd in his hand was none other than the third son of the family.
Just two days ago, she was in Rhodes Island asking about the doctor's well-being, intending to get a ticket to the other world, but was ruthlessly rejected by the Queen Mother. She thought her elder sister would hide in the mountains and drink to drown her sorrows for a few days, but she didn't expect that she adjusted faster than herself.
And seeing her radiant face, her skin and scales are fuller than mine, something is wrong, very wrong! This is the state of being nourished by a man!
Nian knew it very well - because when she stayed in Rhodes Island and took the doctor out on vacation, she would be surprised by her overflowing charm in the mirror every morning when she woke up. It must be because she ate a lot of greasy food that she had such a luster. Relying on dreaming to comfort herself would not have this effect.
"...Sister Ling, why are you so fussy as if you took a tonic?"
Not only her face, but also her legs were dazzlingly white, and even shiny next to the blast furnace, because they were too hydrated.
"I have good news for you. The nominated candidate should be changed. Our sisters all have a chance!" Ling Chaonian winked and immediately found a comfortable place to sit down with her nose turned up - although she has always been so casual, she doesn't always act so youthful.
"Hmm? Kal'tsit finally seems like it?"
"?"
"How could she spit out something when she's not in the right place? Impossible, absolutely impossible."
"Oh - the doctor has assigned colleagues from Yan Country to help in a mobile city in a similar cultural circle, but she has concealed the specific requirements for Yan Country and Longmen operators. I want you to go with me to put pressure on her and get the quota out of her mouth."
"Ah? Designated - isn't that what Search↑♀￠▲qUN：贰汣4０㈣參∏「甒∩≈６°@四 tailor-made for us?"
"...In fact, there are quite a few male competitors, so we have to hurry up, otherwise if Big Brother and Zuo Le find out, they might compete with us."
"Hey! Don't do that!"
"The good news is that if the doctor doesn't get the approval from Party A, even if Kal'tsit sends Eyjafjalla to the doctor, the doctor will have to 'reject' her. It all depends on Party A's evaluation. Of course, the doctor's wishes are also important. Anyway, it will definitely not be Kal'tsit's turn."
"...Well, I think in terms of qualifications she is really..."
"Let's not talk about her qualifications. I can imagine how miserable her life would be if she was taken over. The doctor would understand."
"Hey... Big sister, that's not okay." The originally hesitant Nian sneered after being teased by the big sister. It seemed that he could already imagine the sour-faced woman looking at them coldly but not knowing where to start - this was more comfortable than eating three hot pot meals!
"But... two places... Sister Shu and Sister Xi..." Although he had already started to think about how to push the other competitors off the cliff, Nian's mind was also concerned about the other two family members... They were also deeply obsessed with the doctor.
In addition, apart from the personal affair, although the information related to the star gods sent back by the doctor is only a few words, the second sister should be interested in the fallen "Immortality" and the still active "Abundance", and it is also possible that the unique power system over there can solve her problems.
As for my younger sister... ever since she stopped being socially anxious, I guess the portraits of the doctor she drew are enough to fill up a room.
"They can't leave right away. Before that, I tried to send a message to my little sister and the sixth brother in my dream, but they were busy with their own things. They were night owls just like you, except that you were not assigned any work. So I came to find you first. As expected, you are much easier to leave than the other two."
"I don't have any work on hand right now, so you can go." Seeing your sister winking at her, the naughty Nian didn't refuse. She immediately took the fan from the table and put it in her hand, looking like she was determined to succeed.
"No hurry, let's talk to the doctor before we leave—"
"…Have you contacted the Doctor?"
"How would I know Kal'tsit was playing tricks if I hadn't contacted him? I caught the Doctor in my dream. He really misses me the most."
“Tsk—huh?? You guys have already done this!!”
All of a sudden, the few sparks of anger at the end of the year became even more intense.
"Hey, ahem, the doctor should still be sleeping - you still have time to go in and buy a ticket now, hurry up, drink this, if I'm lucky, I can still drag Shu and Xi in through the dream, so that I can make up for the regret of not being able to take them out -"
Ling stuck out her tongue, and her face suddenly turned into the logo of Fujiya candy. She actually looked more lively than Nian.
"…What if they want to fight?"
"There's no need to be so stingy with family members who can't go out. If I had the workload, I would have invited everyone to come together..."
"No, that's not what I meant. If my second sister wants to go, I definitely won't compete with her for it." He became anxious and muttered a few words, as if he just didn't want to make such an uncomfortable choice.
