Although Xiao Keke ultimately chose to turn a blind eye to her dear elder sister’s cry for help, it was the person Xiao Xi least expected—Mo Lan’er—who ended up being the one to save her.
Actually, she had originally planned to catch the earliest flight to North Blossom City that very day, but Ye Xinglan said she had something incredibly important to do and told her not to come for now.
So for the past two days, Mo Lan’er had been staying at a nearby hotel.
But today, Mo Lan’er simply couldn’t take it anymore.
For two full days, Ye Xinglan’s phone had been turned off and she hadn’t replied to any messages, as if she had vanished from the face of the earth.
It left Mo Lan’er unable to eat or sleep peacefully.
She was even worried that her lady might have been bullied by Eternal Star!
But when she arrived at the door, Mo Lan’er discovered… the one being bullied seemed to be Eternal Star?
“Ah Lan—”
In the living room, Xiao Xi tightly grasped Mo Lan’er’s hand, shaking it up and down.
Her address had even unknowingly changed from “Miss Mo Lan’er” to the more intimate “Ah Lan.”
“Oh, my savior,” Xiao Xi said, tears welling in her eyes. “I will remember this life-saving grace deep in my heart!”
Beside them, Ye Xinglan crossed her arms and pouted in displeasure.
Mo Lan’er: “???”
“Uh… Eternal… Miss Xiao Xi? Are you okay?”
The Xiao Xi before her now had faint dark circles under her eyes, an unnatural flush on her face, her legs pressed together and trembling slightly.
She even seemed a bit unsteady on her feet.
It was hard to imagine what she had been through in the past two days.
If it weren’t for the confirmation she got from her lady, Mo Lan’er would have doubted whether this really was that Eternal Star.
Initially, after learning that Xiao Xi was Eternal Star, Mo Lan’er felt a bit nervous at the thought of facing her.
Back then, the Divine Summon Order only had that overpowered anomaly, the Blood Moon Witch.
Just because Ye Xinglan wasn’t afraid of Eternal Star didn’t mean others weren’t either.
By the same logic, the fact that Eternal Star struggled against the Blood Moon Witch didn’t mean she would struggle when cleaning up soldiers like them.
In Mo Lan’er’s impression, Eternal Star was also an all-around monster, and her oppressive aura was exceptionally strong.
What’s more, Mo Lan’er was a support-type monster with hardly any combat ability.
If it weren’t for her lady protecting her, Eternal Star could have chopped her into mincemeat… Well, of course, when it came to actual strength, her lady was definitely stronger.
But now, Xiao Xi didn’t just lack that oppressive aura; her whole body seemed so weak… like she had been completely drained.
Even so, Mo Lan’er still couldn’t rest easy. She circled around Ye Xinglan for a thorough inspection, afraid her lady had suffered any grievances.
However, Ye Xinglan’s complexion was rosy and she looked full of energy.
To Mo Lan’er’s surprise, Ye Xinglan’s Magic Power Reserve was abnormally abundant right now.
“Lady, are you okay?”
Ye Xinglan didn’t answer directly.
Instead, she pulled Xiao Xi into a hug and rested her chin on top of Xiao Xi’s head.
Two of her tentacles wrapped around Xiao Xi’s waist.
“Won, won big time!” Ye Xinglan gave Mo Lan’er a thumbs up.
“Eternal Star is already my defeated opponent. I’m telling you, this Eternal Star is just a pushover!”
Mo Lan’er watched Xiao Xi nervously, but the latter didn’t seem to have any intention of resisting.
Not even after being messed around with by Ye Xinglan like this did she get angry.
She just stayed obedient and docile, like a tamed cub, letting Ye Xinglan’s actions become more and more aggressive.
It turned out that Eternal Star was like a spoiled child. If you let Ye Xinglan rest a bit, by the end, Xiao Xi couldn’t even muster the thought of resistance.
It also turned out that it was a good thing Eternal Star’s physical constitution was beyond normal.
Otherwise, she would have probably been completely devoured long ago.
The intensity of fighting the Blood Moon Witch was nothing ordinary, let alone the fact that Xiao Xi had to deal with so many tentacles at once.
Back on the battlefield, Xiao Xi had to fight the Blood Moon Witch’s tentacles.
Now, in a different place, she was still fighting tentacles. Experience, they call it.
Mo Lan’er breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed like Eternal Star didn’t harbor any hostility toward her lady.
On the way here, she had thought of many possibilities, like Eternal Star was dating her lady only to get revenge, or that Eternal Star was actually an agent sent by The Association to monitor her lady.
But now, looking at it, Mo Lan’er realized she had been overthinking too many conspiracy theories… Eternal Star just seemed to be completely under her lady’s thumb.
However, seeing these two cuddled together like kittens, Mo Lan’er found it a bit hard to accept.
Even though she was very happy that her lady had found a girlfriend, the thought that the one held in her lady’s arms was Eternal Star made her feel…
How could this be a thing!
In the end, those conspiracy theories she was worried about earlier had a higher chance of being true than the Blood Moon Witch and Eternal Star falling in love naturally!
“It’s all my fault, lady,” Mo Lan’er said, wiping away tears. “If I had investigated that matchmaking partner more thoroughly back then…”
“It’s okay, Ah Lan~ Xiao Xi is very well-behaved now. She won’t do anything to me. Don’t worry.”
Ye Xinglan thought Mo Lan’er was still worried about Xiao Xi, so she gave Xiao Xi a loud smack on the cheek right in front of her.
“Let’s continue tonight. I guess you’ve been pretty tired these past two days, right?”
“Mmm…”
Xiao Xi bit her lower lip, but still couldn’t say a word of refusal.
Urgh, urgh, urgh, urgh, urgh! My lady has been defiled! Waaah! This kind of thing shouldn’t happen!
Mo Lan’er covered her eyes, not daring to watch their intimate interaction anymore.
Her heart was filled with nothing but the despair of seeing her own prized cabbage being rooted up by a pig.
Now, the one experiencing this feeling had become Mo Lan’er.
The difference was just that the source of their psychological struggle was different.
She had been opposed to the idea of dating Eternal Star, but her lady seemed genuinely happy. And…
Although Mo Lan’er didn’t want to admit it, her lady and Xiao Xi really did look lovingly… well-matched!
After struggling internally for a while, Mo Lan’er finally pulled Ye Xinglan aside to have a serious talk.
She wasn’t trying to persuade Ye Xinglan to break up with Xiao Xi. It was just… how should she put it?
She had a kind of inexplicable, fatherly feeling, wanting to advise her lady not to get bullied by this Fiery Little Blond.
Although, looking at the actual situation, the one being bullied was Xiao Xi…
After the two went aside to chat, Xiao Xi immediately collapsed onto the sofa, feeling the ache in her weak legs and letting out a long breath.
Thanks to Mo Lan’er, she was finally able to get some rest. Otherwise, she couldn’t even imagine when Ye Xinglan’s berserk state would end.
A dingdong notification sound rang out. Xiao Xi checked and saw it was a message from Su Yuening.
“How was your rest with Xinglan these past two days? Find time to come home for a meal.”
“Your younger sister will be coming back too.”
I know they love each other, but Xinglan needs to show restraint! Xiaoxi might be more durable, but theirs still limits!
