Luo Zhen, holding Gretchen, looked every bit the gentleman, saying, "Don't say such strange things, it's pointless."
Both Mebius and Alicia sensed something was wrong, but the former didn't care, while the latter was too embarrassed to say anything and just wanted to get away with it as quickly as possible.
Aponia's gaze followed Luo Zhen, but Luo Zhen didn't even glance at her. She knew that Luo Zhen still harbored resentment about what happened last time, but she was tongue-tied and didn't know how to ease the tension.
“Take it, 2 Lin Si Jiu Qi Yi San Si Yue* Yi.”
Ignoring the system's prompt to accommodate the Core of Consciousness, he tossed the Core of Consciousness to Mebius, saying, "I'm entrusting the Eighth Divine Key Feather to you."
Mebius nodded, feeling numb from working overtime. He wanted to finish the work from the previous civilization as soon as possible and sneak away to the Great Universe of Collapse Iron to enjoy a brand new and free research experience. But the more he worked overtime, the more he felt like he couldn't finish his work.
Fortunately, creating the Key of God was one of Wilvi's tasks (Part 4). What she had to do was to persuade Wilvi to reduce her wild ideas and complete the task as soon as possible.
Even if she didn't say it, I reckon Wilvi would soon guess the truth.
She still needs to complete the research and development of the Gray Serpent.
Alicia is also busy. The fact that Aponia has become the Herrscher of Knowledge cannot be kept secret. So the question is, how can she convince the higher-ups of the Flame Chaser that Aponia is all right?
Even the sociable Miss Piglet found it very troublesome.
After cleaning up the scene, Aponia sat in the room, troubled by Luo Zhen's situation, when the door was pushed open and "Alicia" walked in.
Chapter 125 The nun's kneeling was not just a prayer.
Aponia sat on the edge of the bed, her eyelids half-closed, her demeanor dignified and compassionate, exuding a maternal and saintly purity, yet possessing a voluptuous figure that tempted one to sin.
Her chest was adorned with abundant breasts, yet her waist was remarkably slender. Beneath her rounded hips, her voluptuous long legs were faintly visible through the hem of her skirt. As she lay on the bed, she exemplified the saying "slender branches bear abundant fruit."
She was deep in thought. The fact that Luo Zhen could save her, even after she had become a Herrscher, and preserve her own will further suggested that he might be the key figure to breaking the deadlock and surviving the end.
She needs to find a way to repair her relationship with Luo Zhen. What if, because of her, Luo Zhen develops a dislike for the world and becomes unwilling to save it?
It's not that she's overly self-conscious, but rather that since discovering her abilities, she's had many experiences of doing good deeds but ending up making things worse.
Using divination as an analogy, what was originally a minor misfortune could potentially turn into a major misfortune after she intervened.
The door opened, and Alicia walked in with a light step.
"Aponia, what are you thinking about?"
"I'm thinking about... Luo Zhen."
Aponia hesitated for a moment, but still spoke up. "Alice and Rozen are such good friends, maybe they can help."
"I want to know how to get his forgiveness and get rid of the grudge, no matter what the cost."
"That's easy, just blow on it."
Alicia revealed a mischievous smile that Aponia had never seen before.
"Want to blow on it?"
Aponia doesn't understand.
Oh dear, how should I explain this to you?
Alicia scanned the table, picked up a stainless steel kettle, poured out the water, and crushed it with a squeeze of her hand.
"Look, once the kettle is crushed, will apologizing to it help? Will it be able to be restored to its original state? No, it won't."
She bit the spout of the kettle with her cherry-like lips, puffed out her cheeks, and blew hard, managing to inflate the flattened stainless steel kettle back up. Although her handprint was still visible, it was almost back to its original shape.
Alicia gestured to Aponia: "But, it would be better if you blew on it."
Moon/Ripple-Er Yin San?V (Seven) Chao Liu Shi Er Aponia still didn't understand: "Then what exactly do I need to do?"
"Oh my, so innocent? It seems I need to teach you properly."
Alicia took out her personal terminal, retrieved her treasured novel, searched for keywords, found the corresponding paragraph, handed it to Aponia, and began to teach her:
"See this? That's the idea. It just so happens that there's a nun in this novel too."
As she gazed at the words before her, forbidden knowledge flooded her mind. Aponia felt as if she had opened the door to a new world, and her brain trembled.
"That's incredibly blasphemous."
Aponia's face turned bright red. She had never seen anything like this before, and just looking at the words made her feel as if a fire was burning in her lower abdomen.
"You're not Ellie, who are you?"
Alicia transformed back into Hanabi's form, her delicate feet touching the ground. "Does it matter? Lady Hanabi's solution is very useful. Don't you want to give it a try?"
Aponia shook her head: "This method is probably not a good one."
"There's nothing wrong with it. Didn't you say you were willing to pay any price?"
Hanabi leaned closer to her. "Miss Aponia, you don't want this world to be destroyed by the disaster brought by the Herrschers, do you?"
She had no idea of the End existed; she only pieced together the truth based on her experience in manipulating people's hearts and the information she had just obtained.
"It's normal to have to pay the price for doing something wrong, isn't it? Where I'm from, you have to show your chest when you apologize."
Hanabi said, "Your apology isn't sincere enough."
She patted Aponia on the shoulder, "Think about what you should do. Lady Hanabi is going out to play."
She left, leaving Aponia silent.
Aponia got out of bed; she had made up her mind.
Luo Zhen is in Mebius's room.
After he transmigrated here, he lived here and had no intention of moving out. After obtaining the hut, there was no need for him to prepare a separate room.
He should be with Alicia right now, researching how to combine [Descending to Humanity] with Primal Power, so that while preserving her life, he can endow the Herrschers of the next era with humanity.
However, Alicia is working hard on Aponia's affairs, not only about the fusion warriors becoming Herrschers, but also how to retain consciousness after becoming a Herrscher, which is something that the higher-ups of the Flame Chaser want to explore.
Unfortunately, this was because Luo Zhen intervened. Alicia knew very well that if they really traced it back to Luo Zhen, the Moths would be slaughtered.
She's saving their lives right now.
Luo Zhen had no interest in these matters; he was happily playing games.
At that moment, the door was pushed open, and Aponia walked in, standing in front of Rozen. A white veil with thorn patterns covered her head, her hands clasped together in front of her taut chest, and the cross pendant stepped into a deep ravine.
Her slender waist was framed by a skirt that swayed gently like butterfly wings, highlighting her plump and long thighs. Thorn-like leg rings dug into the plump girl's moist skin.
Despite her angelic and pure demeanor, her alluring figure exudes a seductive and decadent charm.
Luo Zhen raised an eyebrow: "What's up?"
Although the scenery was indeed beautiful, his attitude was not good. Luo Zhen was not the kind of person who would easily forgive someone just because they were pretty.
Aponia knelt down, her round buttocks radiating attraction like a full moon, drawing Luo Zhen's gaze. Her expression was devout, like a nun praying to God.
"I am willing to bow my head and confess my sins, and accept all your punishments, only asking that you not take your anger out on others and abandon the salvation of innocent people."
[Request: Aponia hopes that you can save the people of the pre-civilization from a future of extinction during the final judgment.]
[Reward for the commission: One random divine-level power]?
Luo Zhen's furrowed brows relaxed. He was originally meant to save the previous civilization era, a fact that Alicia and Mebius also knew. Therefore, they would not issue similar requests to Luo Zhen. They did not expect to be able to get one from Aponia.
He was starting to think about forgiving Aponia.
As he was studying the commission, Aponia reached for his belt.
? ? ? ?
Luo Zhen looked down at her. Aponia's face was flushed, but she did not stop moving, her determination unwavering.
So this is what it means to bow down and confess one's sins?
Luo Zhen immediately forgave Aponia; she was indeed very sincere.
At that moment, he deeply understood that when a nun kneels down, it is not necessarily in prayer.
Not long after, there was another knock on his door, and a childish voice came from inside:
"Brother Luo Zhen, may I come in?"
It's Greta.
Aponia froze abruptly. She tried to get up, but Luo Zhen stopped her. Luo Zhen looked down at Aponia's pleading eyes, a smile playing on his lips.
"Sure, come in."
No, at least I don't want that child to see me like this!
Aponia was speechless and dared not resist Rōjin. She was extremely nervous. At that moment, she felt the light dim.
Luo Zhen projected a desk, perfectly concealing Aponia's figure.
Greta walked in barefoot, carrying paintbrushes and a drawing board. She looked at Luo Zhen sitting behind the desk, somewhat puzzled, but didn't think much of it.
"May I draw a picture for you? Thank you for saving me and Mom Aponia."
"of course can."
Luo Zhen gestured to the desk in front of him, "Want to sit on it and draw?"
Aponia immediately held her breath, tensed her body, and dared not tremble in the slightest. The hidden space under the desk was designed to be extremely narrow, barely enough to accommodate her curled up inside.
Every slight movement she made caused the wooden table legs to creak against the floor, forcing her to maintain an extremely awkward kneeling posture, silently enduring the pain of her knees pressing against the cold ground.
"No problem, Brother Luo Zhen."
Gretchen looked at the desk curiously. "This desk was moved a little while ago."
Aponia dared not move. The space under the desk was designed to be very narrow, barely enough to accommodate her. If she moved, the desk would move.
"Maybe it wasn't placed securely."
Luo Zhen casually remarked, "This table was just moved here, so it might not fit the floor perfectly."
Gretchen also remembered that she hadn't seen this table when she last visited Möbius's house.
She walked in barefoot. The nun under the table was tense, with fine beads of sweat on her forehead that slid down her neck and into her already soaked collar.
The nun's habit, soaked with sweat, clung to her back, outlining her beautiful lines; even her breath turned into hot white mist that dissipated in the cramped space.
Greta lightly leaped onto the edge of the desk and sat down, her two slender legs dangling from the edge, swaying gently like lotus roots. Her crystal-clear toes curled slightly, gleaming like pearls in the light, and the arch of her feet formed a youthful yet graceful curve.
Those pink and rounded toes resembled freshly peeled lychee flesh, exuding a delicate pale pink hue, with even the fine vein patterns faintly visible.
Aponia's heart nearly stopped; there's no way she could miss it from this angle, right?
