You wouldn't want them to be bullied, would you?

Rosalia looked tense and tried to keep her voice down to avoid being discovered by the Honkai Beasts and zombies roaming nearby.

Lilia frowned, racking her brains for a way to break the deadlock.

After a few seconds, she made a decision—

Ignoring the wandering Honkai Beasts and zombies, they rushed at full speed towards the designated location.

Once they reach the designated location, these Honkai Beasts and zombies will vanish instantly.

"That's a great idea! Lilia, you're so clever!"

“Of course, Lilia is no idiot.”

"Uh-huh!"

Rosalia nodded vigorously and immediately rushed out of the bushes, instantly attracting the attention of the nearby Honkai Beasts and zombies.

Lilia hadn't expected Rosalia to rush out so quickly, causing her to be a step too slow for Rosalia.

At this moment, Rosalia had already run to the designated location, attracting the attention of all the Honkai Beasts and Death Knights nearby.

Seeing this, Lilia silently retreated into the bushes.

Since Rosalia intends to attract Honkai Beasts and zombies, she certainly can't steal Rosalia's thunder.

"Let's leave this 'highlight moment' to idiot Rosalia..."

……

After bursting out of the bushes, Rosalia dashed towards the designated location, calling out to Lilia, "Lilia, let's run! We can't let the Honkai Beasts and the assassins catch up with us!"

However, there was no movement around him.

Rosalia instinctively turned her head to look beside her, but did not see Lilia.

In an instant, she realized what was happening.

Either she rushed in too fast, causing Lilia to be a step too slow, or Lilia used her as "bait" to lure Honkai Beasts and zombies.

At this moment, Rosalia could no longer ponder the question and could only grit her teeth and run towards the designated location.

Now, Rosalia can only hope that the other groups of girls have reached the designated location, otherwise she really doesn't know how to deal with the Honkai Beasts and assassins chasing her.

Not long after, Rosalia spotted the group of girls gathered near the designated location and shouted without hesitation, "Sister, help me!"

Upon hearing Rosalia's shout, the girls immediately stopped talking and looked at her.

The next second, Raiden Mei rushed towards Rosalia, and in just a few breaths, she had already passed by Rosalia.

Then, a burst of lightning suddenly shot out, and Dream Heart instantly appeared in Raiden Mei's hand.

The blade of Dream One Heart surged with brilliant lightning, transforming into dazzling blade light in the next instant, sweeping away the running Honkai Beasts and Death Warriors.

Faced with Raiden Mei's strike, the Honkai Beasts and the zombies were utterly powerless and perished like a landslide.

"call……"

Raiden Mei exhaled softly, then put away her dream.

Meanwhile, the other girls arrived late and carefully checked Rosalia for injuries.

"Rosalia, why are you all alone? Where's Lilia?"

“Actually…” Rosalia said, hanging her head, “I think I accidentally left Lilia behind.”

"Leave it where it is?"

Bronya scratched her head, then asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"

Rosalia bit her lip and then recounted what had just happened.

Upon hearing Rosalia's account, the girls couldn't help but sigh and facepalm.

Fortunately, they had gathered near the designated location in advance; otherwise, Rosalia would have had a real hard time dealing with these Honkai Beasts and zombies.

"Don't be so reckless next time."

Raiden Mei scolded him, then looked towards the distance as if she sensed something.

— Lilia is on her way here.

A moment later, Lilia jogged up to Rosalia.

"You idiot Rosalia, why didn't you wait for me a moment?"

"I...I thought it was an immediate sprint..."

Rosalia felt guilty and dared not look Lilia in the eye.

The girls covered their mouths and giggled, which made Rosalia lower her head.

"Rosalia, Lilia, you two should hurry to the designated location." Raiden Mei's smile faded as she gently urged the two girls, "We will go to the designated location after you finish your exams."

"Yes! Thank you, sisters!"

Rosalia nodded solemnly, then excitedly pulled Lilia to the designated location.

The other girls watched Rosalia and Lilia leave, and then began to speculate about what kind of gift Rosalia would want.

……

Cecilia and Theresa witnessed the girls' behavior and couldn't help but smile helplessly.

“Cecilia, what do you plan to do? Rosalia’s written test score wasn’t very good; it was only slightly above the passing mark.”

"Not bad. Rosalia used to hover around the passing mark, rarely exceeding it."

"How about we don't announce the entrance exam results this time, and just verbally announce that Rosalia and Lilia got first place?"

"Hmm." Cecilia stretched. "Theresa, want to go shopping later?"

Aren't you going to stay with Qiu Bi?

"Qiu Bi doesn't need me to accompany him now, after all, he still has Lady Hilfalia and the others."

Cecilia smiled slightly and then said, "Besides, I can't always be with Qiu Bi. Sometimes I have to consider my friend's feelings."

"Alright. Cecilia, where would you like to go?"

"I don't care. I can just wander around any shopping street. After all, I haven't properly explored the island where St. Freya Academy is located yet."

"Are you bringing the children along?"

"Let's ask later."

"Ah."

Chapter 166 The Land of Nine Netherworlds

Fog Sea Manor.

Qiu Bi lay on the sun chair, squinting as he enjoyed the warm sunshine.

Salome, Shub, Patrick, Luna, Lady Hilfaria, and Bella were playing in the water, while Shigure Kira, dressed in a swimsuit, lay on a sun lounger next to Qiu Bi, softly humming her favorite song.

Shi Yu Qi Luo seemed to remember something and couldn't help but ask, "Qiu Bi, why didn't you go to see the children's entrance exams?"

"It's just an entrance exam. The children shouldn't fail, and besides, my presence might put psychological pressure on them."

No matter what kind of exam it is, if a student's parents are watching from the sidelines, that student will inevitably experience immense psychological pressure.

Therefore, Qiu Bi simply stayed at Fogsea Manor, patiently waiting for Cecilia to bring the children home.

Before long, Alexandra, holding a glass of chilled watermelon juice, gracefully walked over to Qiu Bi's side.

"Qiu Bi, the children's exams are over."

"Hmm, when are they coming back?"

Qiu Bi propped himself up, reached out and put his arm around Alexandra's waist, and at the same time put the straw of the chilled watermelon juice in his mouth and drank the chilled watermelon juice without any worries.

Because Alexandra possesses the "eternal youth" bestowed upon her by Chubi, her appearance is frozen at the most beautiful and charming age, so the situation of "an old married couple having nightmares for days after just one kiss" will not occur.

Alexandra snuggled up to Qiu Bi and replied softly, "Cecilia took the children out shopping and won't be back at Mistsea Manor for a long time."

"Ah."

Qiu Bi responded softly, then pulled Alexandra down to lie down, causing Alexandra to gasp in surprise.

Shi Yu Qiluo glanced at the two of them, a hint of envy flashing in her eyes, before pretending to be nonchalant and squinting as she enjoyed the sunbathing.

……

Autumn, 2014.

About a month has passed since Kiana and the other girls enrolled at St. Freya Academy. The girls have now adapted to life there, while Qiu Bi has received a long-awaited communication from Otto.

"Mr. Qiu Bi, it's been a long time. How have you been lately?"

"It's alright, life is peaceful and warm—is there anything I can help you with?"

"Hahaha……"

Otto chuckled for a moment, then explained, "Recently, we discovered two places where the Honkai energy reactions are rather strange. Only an S-rank Valkyrie can resolve them, but the S-rank Valkyries of today lack experience in handling such incidents. Therefore, I would like to ask Mr. Qiu Bi for help."

"But I don't have any relevant experience either."

"With Mr. Qiu Bi's abilities, experience is actually the least important thing."

Otto made a pointed remark, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"..."

Qiu Bi was silent for a few seconds, then asked in return, "What exactly is it?"

"An unusual Honkai energy reaction suddenly appeared in the Nine Nether Lands. According to the legends of Shenzhou, it can be speculated that a creature named 'Chi You' is sealed in the Nine Nether Lands, which is suspected to be a Judgment-level Honkai Beast."

"In addition, an unusual Honkai energy reaction was also discovered on an isolated island in the Pacific Ocean, and its intensity was even greater than that of the Nine Nether Lands."

"Based on recent observations, although no ships have ever passed by that isolated island, the figure of a young girl has been spotted."

Otto spilled everything out like beans pouring from a bamboo tube.

Under Otto's impetus, Schicksal made rapid progress. Not only were the Valkyrie experiments greatly improved and the failure rate significantly reduced, but even the "artificial stigmata" made groundbreaking progress.

Although Valkyries using "artificial stigmata" still have limited potential, they are unlikely to experience a significant reduction in lifespan.
