"Sandrone?"
Upon hearing the familiar voice, the Tsaritsa's eyes flashed with dangerous light.
As one of the Fatui Harbingers, she dared to ignore her orders and secretly meet Qin Yu.
And precisely at this moment!
Thinking this, her chest heaved, and she slowly stood up.
Her silver-gray hair cascaded down, her white dress billowed up, moving without wind.
"Crack, crack!"
Cold air permeated the surroundings.
Her Majesty the Tsaritsa was very angry, and the consequences would be severe.
It wasn't because someone had disrupted her mood for a domineering CEO to have some intimate moments with her newly recognized young boyfriend.
With such disobedient subordinates, she might as well hand them over to Arlecchino for a good interrogation and spanking.
"Wait a moment, calm down, calm down."
Seeing that the Tsaritsa was about to conjure an ice sword to freeze the sea, Qin Yu couldn't sit still.
He quickly stood up and grabbed the Tsaritsa's hand.
Everyone, let's be harmonious and loving!
"Hmph… already starting to protect your little lover?"
The Tsaritsa put away her ice sword, her silver-gray eyes fixed on Qin Yu, flashing with dangerous light.
(⋋‿⋌)
A subordinate falling in love was an additional crime.
What? She hadn't stipulated that?
She had now.
"Ah, but you just now..."
Qin Yu realized the Tsaritsa was just putting on a show and was momentarily speechless.
It's ruined, he was tricked.
How could even the arrogant Cryo Archon learn to trick people into revealing things!
"Harbinger Columbina, openly defying orders."
"Since that's the case, I shall punish her by sending her to the frozen wastelands of Snezhnaya to plant potatoes."
The Tsaritsa snorted coldly.
"No, I disagree!"
Qin Yu stood defiantly in front of her, holding her hand, and resolutely refused.
If nothing else, Qin Yu already had enough experience fighting gods.
Could he not even suppress the Tsaritsa of Snezhnaya?
The family status must be clarified today!
"Are you going to resist me?"
A curve appeared at the corner of the Tsaritsa's lips. She grabbed Qin Yu by the collar and pulled him before her.
It seemed her "adjustments" to his education were not sufficient.
Would she have to turn you into her little dog, chained by the throne, and tease you with high heels before you'd listen?
"If you don't want to be dragged back to the Tsaritsa's Palace, remain quiet."
The Tsaritsa said calmly, turning to head towards the shore to "punish" Sandrone.
"Since that's the case, please forgive my offense."
At that moment, a deep voice sounded.
The Tsaritsa's gaze sharpened, and she instinctively turned to look back.
"Click—"
A cold sensation came from her wrist.
Her Majesty the Tsaritsa's eyes slowly widened.
Qin Yu had actually used ice handcuffs to lock one of her hands!
"Calm down a little."
Qin Yu's large hand, warm, pressed down on the Tsaritsa's shoulder, preventing her from moving.
The tables have turned.
She was a noble and arrogant domineering CEO, so why not experience being handcuffed for a change!
"Insolent! How dare you desecrate a god!"
The Tsaritsa glared at Qin Yu and said coldly.
"Desecrate? Haven't we already done that?"
Qin Yu smiled playfully and pulled her into his embrace.
His heavy, hot breath sprayed wantonly on her clear, warm skin.
"...!"
The Tsaritsa's delicate body trembled. Feeling the strange sensation of her earlobe being kissed, she let out a soft hum.
"A very cute reaction, my Tsarina."
Qin Yu released her, smacking his lips with satisfaction.
Thank you for the treat.
He would handle the next reception.
Just as Qin Yu was about to go find Sandrone.
"Click—"
The same coldness made him stiffen all over.
This time, it was Qin Yu's hand that was handcuffed.
"You...!"
Qin Yu looked at the ice handcuffs that had locked both him and the Tsaritsa and was stunned.
A trace of chill rose from his back.
This development was not right!
"Now, what are you going to do?"
The Tsaritsa provocatively lifted her chin, her posture haughty.
These ice handcuffs were formed by the power of authority and could not be broken free from in a short time.
If Sandrone saw her partner and her superior...
You wouldn't want something like that to happen, would you?
Qin Yu's lips twitched. This damn classic plot déjà vu.
"Where's the key?"
Qin Yu, in a panic, quickly asked.
But he quickly realized.
The key had already melted and was made into a ring and given away!
So this was a mutual destruction plan.
"My partner—I've already scanned your signal!"
Sandrone's voice through the loudspeaker was getting closer.
They were about to be discovered.
Qin Yu was in danger!
Thinking this, Qin Yu couldn't care about anything else and dragged the Tsaritsa towards the depths of the small forest.
He had to get the ice handcuffs off first!
"..."
The Tsaritsa did not resist, allowing Qin Yu to pull her along.
Looking at the man's reassuring back, a faint, gentle smile appeared on the Tsaritsa's stunning face.
Touching the Tsaritsa of Snezhnaya's hand comes with a price.
The punishment is to hold hands for a lifetime.
No refusal allowed.
...
On the coast, giant waves crashed against the rocks with earth-shattering roars.
Boom—
A massive mecha, cloaked in transparent optical camouflage, shot out scorching azure flames and broke through the waves, arriving.
With the control matrix at full power, it traversed the vast sea in just a few breaths and landed on the island.
Whoosh—
The control matrix materialized, simultaneously deploying various components.
After assembling and transforming with futuristic technology, numerous small construct mechs began to work, guarding the surroundings.
In an instant, the coast was filled with dense formations of mechs.
Such a commotion naturally attracted monsters.
Some monsters, such as Mitachurls, Rift Hounds, and Floating Omen, were considered troublesome even by the Adventurers' Guild.
But in an instant, they were all annihilated by the wildly firing scorching lasers.
Do you understand the value of Snezhnayan toys after unlocking the Scarlet King's technology tree?
"Hmm… it seems stable enough."
Soon, an elegant and refined brown-haired girl appeared.
She sat on a hovering propulsion device, swinging her slender legs, and tightened her Harbinger coat.
"It's so windy, my carefully styled hair is all messed up."
Sandrone tidied the hair at her forehead, complaining.
She had dressed up nicely just to meet Qin Yu.
She also brought the control matrix, a mecha gift that boys couldn't refuse.
She would secretly give it to him while Her Majesty the Tsaritsa was away.
Miss Columbina, the puppet, was already siding with outsiders.
"What a beautiful place."
Beside her, Columbina murmured softly.
In the sea breeze, her soft hair fluttered gracefully, and she looked serene.
Feeling the changes Qin Yu had brought to the world, the corners of her mouth curved slightly, revealing a relaxed smile.
"My partner is getting more and more amazing."
Sandrone held a tablet, searching for Qin Yu's location information.
At the same time, she was also verifying the data of the constructs.
"There's a trace of the Abyss Order here."
Columbina reminded her.
"Mm, I'll set up a program for the constructs to detect it themselves."
Sandrone nodded and entered work mode.
With the control matrix as the central hub, the small construct mechs could complete various tasks independently.
"Where is Qin Yu?"
"Hmm… Sister Columbina, follow me."
"Her Majesty the Tsaritsa..."
"Don't worry, we definitely won't run into her."
The two women, hand in hand, hurried towards the depths of the small forest.
...
Soon, they heard Qin Yu's voice.
"Hiss… so tight…"
"Hold on… I'm going to start exerting force…!"
"?"
Sandrone and Columbina's smiles vanished.
What was Qin Yu doing in the small forest?!
