"Tsk... this ice restraint is too troublesome to open."
Deep in the small woods, Qin Yu sighed, looking helpless.
He felt a little tired, supporting his waist with one hand, and looked at the Empress who paid him no mind.
"..."
At this moment, she looked calm and noble, like a flower on a high mountain, unattainable.
A gentle breeze blew, carrying a faint fragrance.
Her soft hair fell, adding a touch of beauty to her.
Looking further down, there was her snow-white, slender neck, and the delicate collarbone peeking out from her collar.
Her shapely figure was exceptionally alluring.
Her pure white dress was made of transparent, delicate fabric.
Her warm bosom seemed to be about to overflow, and her waist was slender and soft.
Her long, shapely legs were bare, not wearing shoes.
"Cough."
Qin Yu couldn't help but glance a few more times.
As expected of the Cryo Archon, every move she made was as pure and beautiful as ice and snow.
... If she wasn't holding a game console in her hand at the moment.
What was this feeling of being ignored by a CEO, like a boyfriend?
"One life clear, this game is too easy."
The Empress's lips curled up slightly, and then she glanced at Qin Yu, whose gaze was not honest.
You've been messing around outside for so long, are you done yet?
"I...!"
Qin Yu was helpless and said he needed a break.
The ice restraint was indeed a creation of divine power, extremely sturdy.
And the most fatal thing was that it accelerated physical exertion.
He had only been busy for a while, and he felt his stamina rapidly draining.
"Give up."
The Empress's beautiful eyes narrowed, and she used the game console to lift Qin Yu's chin.
If you agree to move into the Tsaritsa's palace now, perhaps you could...
The overbearing CEO made no secret of her improper intentions towards Qin Yu.
"Cough, what do you want to do?"
Qin Yu coughed lightly.
We're still wearing ice restraints, isn't this a bit inappropriate?
"What, you know how to be reserved now?"
Just as the Empress's gaze turned pleased, wanting to persuade Qin Yu to join the Fatui.
A sharp whistling sound suddenly erupted.
"Crack—!"
In a flash, a dark purple thunderbolt flashed through the woods, like a black arrow, aiming straight for the Empress's neck.
"...!"
The Empress's gaze turned cold, and ice condensed in her hand as she prepared to counter-attack with a sword.
Being disturbed for the third or fourth time, anyone would be annoyed.
Moreover, the dignity of the Cryo Archon was not to be violated.
Except for a certain newly recognized boyfriend.
Anyone else who dared to draw a sword against her would have to be prepared to lose their life!
Just as the dark purple and ice-blue lights were about to collide.
A tall figure stepped in between.
"Stop!"
Qin Yu raised his shield with one hand, blocking both sharp slashes.
"Don't bully...!"
At the same time, the figure behind the thunderbolt revealed itself.
In the lightning, Kaphiri's purple eyes were icy cold, staring intently at the Empress.
"Qin Yu, what's going on?"
The Empress's beautiful eyes narrowed, and she did not relax her grip on the ice sword.
This black-haired girl in a shrine maiden outfit who suddenly appeared... was not to be underestimated.
Moreover, the ferocity in her purple eyes was like a beast from an extremely cold region, very dangerous.
This was a wild little kitten.
Anyone who dared to snatch her food would fight to the death.
"Be good, I'm fine."
Sensing Kaphiri's unstable emotions, Qin Yu quickly lowered his shield and gently patted her head to comfort her.
Even if his fingers were stung by the lightning, he didn't care.
Don't be afraid, I'm here.
"Mmm..."
Kaphiri's eyelashes trembled, her fierce aura receded, and her gaze towards Qin Yu was filled with attachment.
She opened her mouth, about to call him Daddy.
"Cough, cough...!"
Qin Yu's heart leaped, and he quickly covered the girl's mouth.
He winked at his third little cotton-padded jacket.
The Empress was nearby, so you can't just say anything!
"Mmmph mmmph."
Kaphiri seemed to understand, and nodded.
Suddenly, her beautiful eyes curved, revealing a satisfied expression.
"?"
Qin Yu felt a warmth in his palm, followed by a moist, ticklish sensation.
This girl, was actually doing this to his hand...!
"No, that place is very dirty."
Qin Yu let go of her hand, and righteously wanted to guide her.
"Then... where can I?"
Kaphiri stuck out her pink tongue and, pulling Qin Yu, looked at him with innocent eyes.
"Hmm, it should be... Of course, nowhere!"
Just as Qin Yu was having a headache, a fragrant breeze wafted over.
There was a crisp clang from the ice restraints, and the next moment, the Empress pulled him behind her.
"Give him... back...!"
Kaphiri stared at the Empress, who was hiding Qin Yu behind her, with hostility and wariness.
This woman, who was as well-endowed as Mommy Ying, was bad!
"Another one of your little lovers?"
The Empress glanced at Qin Yu, her brows furrowed slightly.
Even in the Archon War, the number of participants was too high.
Qin Yu: "..."
What kind of talk is that!
Was he that kind of person?
"Bad woman, give him back!"
Kaphiri clenched her small fists, her pretty little face turning fiercely childish.
"Just you, a little girl?"
The Empress haughtily raised her chin, her full bosom exuding an oppressive aura.
What she desired, she never let go of.
"Calm down, let's get the ice restraints off first."
Qin Yu once again squeezed between the two women, trying to prevent a conflict.
Just as the tension was escalating.
"Qin Yu, get out here—!"
A voice filled with annoyance and shame echoed through the small woods.
Soon, a cerulean light shot out, locking onto Qin Yu.
It could only be Miss Puppet.
"Signora?!"
Qin Yu's body trembled, his eyes widened.
How did you find this place!
"Heh, being so secretive, do you have anything else to explain?"
Signora smiled kindly, glaring at Kaphiri, who was hugging Qin Yu and looking innocent.
So it was the well-behaved and sensible black-haired little witch.
Would she also warm the bed?
My partner, you're really something.
You seem to have gained quite a lot after going out for a bit.
"Wait a minute, I was with the Cryo... Huh?!"
Qin Yu raised his hand, about to explain.
But with a click, he froze completely.
The ice restraints fell off, landing on the grass, shining brilliantly in the sunlight.
Qin Yu and Signora both looked at the ice restraints, lost in thought.
When did they open on their own!
"My partner, you actually like this kind of thing...!"
Signora bit her lip, looking at Qin Yu as if she was seeing his true colors for the first time.
Then she looked at Kaphiri, who was shrinking beside him.
Miss Puppet slowly raised her little pink fist.
Where is the Control Matrix!
"No...!"
Qin Yu looked at his empty side, unable to explain.
Your Majesty the Cryo Archon, using ice crystals to refract light and watch the show while invisible, is that really okay?!
"Sister Signora, perhaps it's a misunderstanding..."
Columbina, who arrived late, was about to comfort them softly.
Then she saw the sparkling ice restraints.
And Kaphiri.
"..."
The air quietly solidified.
"Signora, Columbina."
Qin Yu looked at the two women approaching, and sighed softly.
Can you listen to his sophistry?
"Let's talk about it in the basement."
Columbina's lips curled up, she tilted her head, and said gently.
"Agreed."
Signora took out her tetrahedron, her smile becoming even gentler.
My partner, do you recognize this?
These past few days, I've been exchanging methods of binding people with Ms. Yelan quite a bit.
"You're joking, right?"
Qin Yu's lips twitched as he looked at the two women closing in.
Suddenly, the tense atmosphere eased.
"Just a warning."
Signora put away her tetrahedron and rolled her eyes at him.
Columbina covered her mouth and chuckled, "Did I act well?"
"Hoo... that's good."
Qin Yu breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.
This time, it didn't flip!
This thought had just flashed through his mind.
"Bad women... so many."
The wary voice startled the three of them.
Qin Yu's heart sank, and he was about to cover Kaphiri's mouth.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
"I won't... give my Daddy... to you!"
Kaphiri's firm voice rang out, stunning the other two women.
Daddy? Qin Yu?
After a brief silence...
"What's with the child?"
In the small woods, birds were startled and flew away in the distance.
Qin Yu found himself subjected to the interrogation of the Fatui Harbingers.
...
Meanwhile, on the coast.
"Hoo... finally arrived, Seirai Island."
A girl wearing a purple dress, black silk on her legs, and purple twin-tails stepped onto the beach and said with satisfaction.
As she spoke, she frowned.
She wasn't sure if it was an illusion, but she seemed to hear someone talking about Qin Yu, children...
"But, the environment here?"
Beside her was a pink-haired girl in a deep blue shrine maiden outfit, with white silk on her legs.
She looked at the vibrant Seirai Island, lost in thought.
Did they come to the wrong place?
"Let's go, Kokomi, let's find Qin Yu first."
"Okay, Keqing."
Two more women had landed.
