Qingque was preaching about workplace survival skills and how to slack off, but then she noticed that Qiong's expression suddenly turned strange.
"Old Qiong, what's wrong?"
"By the way, what time do you usually start work?"
Qiong rested her chin on her hand.
"..."
Qingque froze, like a robot that had lost its power. The next second, she turned her head sharply to look at the clock, her eyes wide and her face filled with terror.
"Spicy!"

Chapter 264 Do you think I'm stupid?
"Maru La!!"
Whoosh!
With a sudden, powerful jerk, the towel slipped off her chest. Upon seeing the time displayed on the jade tablet, Qingque's face turned deathly pale.
"I'm late! I'm late!"
Amidst the bewildered and confused gaze of March 7th, Qingque paid no attention to the delicate, snow-white skin that had been exposed.
Instead, she directly tore off her yukata right in front of Sora.
"Oh... Qingque, you really don't treat us like outsiders."
March 7th couldn't help but complain.
Even if she's a beautiful girl, doesn't Qingque care about Qiong at all?
Although he had already seen it last night...
"At a time like this, people still care about this kind of thing."
The bluebird, as adorable as a little magpie, put the egg-eating pheasant that the shadowy little star had just peeled into its mouth, while hurriedly putting on its panties and bib, and then its blue and black mixed-color sweater and outer skirt.
"It's all that damn star core's fault, causing the frequency of demonic avatars to erupt in various places to increase, and all members of the Taibusi are working overtime because of it."
"Although I am just a minor sect leader, I can't withstand the watchful eye of the Grand Diviner. If I mess up at a time like this, I'll definitely be punished by the Grand Diviner afterwards!"
Qingque wouldn't be afraid of being given the cold shoulder, since her position had already been reduced as much as it could go!
But if the Grand Diviner were to give her too much work and punish her in this way, she would have to carefully consider and weigh the amount of work she needed to complete.
Any employee who is skilled at slacking off understands that in order to slack off better and more carefree in the future, it is absolutely crucial not to falter at critical moments.
"Old Qiong, I'm leaving now. I'll use my work time to organize the complete rules of the Imperial Jade Tablet, and we can discuss them together tonight."
Her little face was full of pain at going to work. Qingque got dressed, grabbed Yuzhao, and rushed out with the egg in her mouth.
"Oh? You're coming again tonight?"
On March 7th, the volume involuntarily increased.
"no no no!"
She shook her head vigorously, like a rattle-drum, when she met Shang Qiong's gaze.
"I'm absolutely not playing anymore! You guys can play by yourselves!"
Normally at night, she would just lie down on the bed, all cute and silly, and fall asleep in a few minutes.
But last night, every time she closed her eyes, images of the final battle of strip mahjong kept flashing through her mind, with herself and everyone else being utterly defeated.
To be stripped naked little by little under the watchful eyes of the sky—what a shameful public execution!
On March 7th, lying in bed, I pulled the blanket over my head and tossed and turned, unable to calm myself down.
Especially when I think of the scene where Qiong soothed the effects of the medicine on Qingque...
Curled up, March 7th couldn't help but rub her slender legs together. When she realized what she was doing, she suddenly threw off the blanket, sat up abruptly, and frantically pulled at her hair, her brain trembling!
How did I end up sitting at the card table like that, tricked by Qiong?!
"Hey, Ah Qi, don't you think strip mahjong is exciting?"
Qiong whispered seductively, "Think back carefully to last night. In order to prevent yourself from being disarmed, were you forced to concentrate and think deeply?"
"Have you felt that your time has become more fulfilling? Have you noticed that your mood has been constantly active?"
"By training your brain in this way, I believe you will grow one day."
Qiong patted her on the shoulder, speaking earnestly.
"what?"
March 7th was somewhat puzzled, and after frowning and thinking for a long time, she understood the unspoken meaning in Qiong's words.
"What do you mean? Do you think I'm stupid?!"
March 7th put his hands on his hips, immediately activated his pufferfish mode, and glared angrily at Qiong.
"No, I've always thought your IQ is higher than Noctiluci, the famous genius of Gensokyo. If her IQ is 9, then your IQ is at least three times higher! It's no exaggeration to call it astonishing wisdom!"
"Hehehe, really?"
Although I don't know who Noctilu is, with an IQ three times higher, it seems I'm still quite smart.
Qiong said sincerely:
"Hmm, I think the reason you lost last night is that the Imperial Jade doesn't really suit you. Try a simpler deck of cards next time. I'm sure you'll be able to crush Xing!"
"Right? Right? I told you, no matter what, I'm no worse than Ah Xing. Next time, I'll definitely show you my full strength!"
On March 7th, clench your fists in front of your chest and bring them together in a confident fighting stance.
I look forward to your performance!
Qiong gave a thumbs up.
Next time the three of us play strip poker, let's talk to Xing beforehand. Xing will definitely be willing to drag March 7th along to get stripped naked too.
On the seventh day of the third month, Star, Bronya and Seele, dressed in their finest attire, emerged one by one from the themed room.
The atmosphere was a little awkward.
But it's not a big problem.
Everything is under Qiong's control.
Her pure and innocent heart was greatly stimulated. Bai hope was still in the aftermath of the explosive shyness shock, shrinking deep into her mental space and refusing to come out. Xi'er controlled her body.
Bronya's body is controlled by the secondary Silverwing, the main character, and she can sense the emotions of Little Duck in the background of her body.
It seemed like a lament, a bitterness, a pain, a bewilderment, a sense of guilt, and a feeling of relief.
why?
Why is it like this?
Bronya felt her skin was a bit too pale, her blush was a bit too heavy, and there might be a small ball on her nose.
In order to prevent Qiong from harming Xier, she took the baton from Silverwing and tried her best to satisfy Qiong, cooperating very well, even letting the ceiling robotic arm hang in mid-air in that shameful posture.
Enduring the impact of the Emperor-level Honkai Beast, Qiong was stuck to her and couldn't reach out to Seele.
To the little duck's surprise, 'Seele' actually reached out her hand to Qiong.
The little duckling has broken down.
What was her purpose in doing all this?
However, if Seele really loves Sora and can find happiness, then this outcome wouldn't be bad... It's just that Bronya feels like there's a void in her heart.
And when you feel empty, you need to find something to fill the void!
So, she was filled up very full last night, she filled it up voluntarily, and the white hole memory overflowed.
After waking up today, the little duck is numb!
I'm completely numb!
Instead of returning to the Honkai world, she remained inside the Secondary Silverwing, contemplating her life as a duck.
[The other me, there's no need to dwell on it. Even if we're not truly one person, as counterparts in a parallel world, I've never treated you as an outsider.]
My husband is your husband, and I've always considered Seele my own sister. Wouldn't it be nice if we could stay together like this forever?
On the Mind Channel, Secondary Silverwing whispers in his ear.
【…】
Bronya remained silent, but the Secondary Silverwing sensed a sense of relief amidst her bittersweet feelings, finally free from worries and entanglements, and couldn't help but smile.
Secondary Silverwing comforts Little Duckling, and Seele soothes White Seele.
With a mischievous, cat-like smile on her face, Xing hooked her arm around Qiong's shoulder and said, "Qiong, do you think we should renovate my room again?"
Since she'll be sleeping with Qiongzai from now on, she can totally transform the room into a themed room like a hotel!
"Aren't you afraid that Himeko and Pam will beat you to death?"
Qiong pointed at the stars.
This star core spirit lost her morals really fast. On the first night, you could still see some shyness on her face, but now she's just as purely enjoying herself as he is.
"Um, okay."
Converting the room into a love hotel might indeed get me killed by Sister Himeko, Hoshi sighed regretfully.
The group of five returned to the Earth Balance Office to hand in their mission.
……
Meanwhile, at the Shence Palace.
"Alas, the troubles on the fairy boat, the documents on the desk, and the weeds in the flower bed—these are the only three things that I can't get rid of no matter how hard I try."
The Earth Balance Division presented the electronic memorial containing information regarding the capture of the Medicine King's secret disciples by the Star and the Dome, which had been reviewed.
Jing Yuan sighed, sat down in the upper seat, his lion-like eyes slightly closed, and pondered the current situation.
The situation seems clear now, but the hidden moves in the game have not yet been revealed.
He risked his life to gain a chance at survival.
Many other flags, including Luofu, have also entered the game.
But to move on to the next step, a mystery must be solved; otherwise, the game will remain deadlocked.
Jing Yuan yawned as if he was a little tired, then dialed a communication button and projected a half-body pink, exquisite phantom image.
"Fu Qing, how's the progress?"
"The rise and fall between Qian and Zhen indicates misfortune and no benefit."
Fu Xuan's voice was crisp and clear.
"Fu Qing, speak like a human being, please."
Jing Yuan's smile was bright, but somewhat stiff.
"Very bad luck."
Fu Xuan sighed: "The Qiong Guan Formation has stopped rotating, the talismans are dim, and there is still an evil spirit in the Star Core within the Department that has not been eliminated. In such a situation, isn't a great disaster about to befall us?"
The reason why Kafka hasn't been interrogated yet is because ordinary interrogation methods are completely ineffective against her. To obtain truly reliable information, we must use the "Exhaustive Observation Formation."
However, interference within the current divination instrument has caused problems with the array base, requiring time for investigation and adjustment.
"Haha, the person in front of me is none other than Fu Qing, known as 'the one who can foresee the future and has unfathomable insight.' Isn't seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune your forte?"
"There's no need to force-feed me this chicken soup, General."
Fu Xuan said irritably.
"I will adjust the three array bases as soon as possible."
We must call Qingque over to work overtime immediately!
