"Ah, Anna! What are you doing here? Uh... I feel like I'm done for?"
Lu Ze swallowed hard, glancing at Jizi on the bed and then at Anna standing at the door. Why did he have the feeling of being caught in the act? It didn't feel good.
But even so, he had to brace himself and go on.
"Why am I here? You should ask yourself that, Teacher! Did you have fun last night? Were you reluctant to leave? Do you need me to remind you!"
Anna's anger grew as she spoke, and the room was instantly filled with frost. However, Jizi on the bed was a bit displeased. What was the meaning of this? Disturbing her dreams early in the morning! And on top of that, she was going to make a move?
"Little girl, by seniority, I am your elder. By experience, I am also your senior. What? You're just sleeping with the person you like. Is there a need to be so angry? At worst, I'll let you have him tonight."
"Hmm... elder, senior? I only know you're an old hag! Auntie Jizi, please don't bully people just because of your age, or don't blame me for being impolite."
Age was Jizi's sensitive spot, and just hearing that made her a little angry.
"Who are you calling an old hag? Do you want a fight? Don't say I'm bullying a younger one. I'll let you have three moves. Don't think you can bully people just because you have some strength. You should know, there's always someone better, and if you don't know, I don't mind teaching you a lesson."
Lu Ze, caught in the middle, felt a bit uncomfortable. How to put it? He couldn't get a word in, and he couldn't leave...
After about half an hour, the two women were evenly matched and confrontational. Lu Ze could only helplessly try to pacify them. It took a lot of time to calm them down.
"I'm so tired... If there were a few more people, I'd probably see scenes like this every day. That kind of life... is a bit too much."
Sitting in the lobby downstairs, Lu Ze swiped lightly and began to check the points he had earned. Counting carefully, it was close to eight figures, as high as 20 million...
This number of points was already quite astonishing, as he had only sold for one day. If he promoted in other countries, he would have made a fortune.
"Phew... having so many points at once, I'm a bit at a loss. Let me calm down first."
Taking a few steady deep breaths, Lu Ze went directly to the system store and found the "Select Valkyrie Chest." He clicked on it to view the details, and his indecisiveness kicked in.
There were quite a lot of types included. Basically, all the Valkyries from the Honkai Impact 3rd series were there. The purchase points were enough to buy two.
But if he bought them, he didn't know who to choose. How about... gathering the "Big Three" first? Besides, he hadn't eaten Mei's cooking in a long time.
He decisively spent 20 million points to buy two Select Chests and, without a doubt, chose Raiden Mei and Kiana.
As everyone was in the lobby, the sudden appearance of two beams of light drew everyone's attention.
The white light converged into two figures, forming a general outline. Bronya recognized them at first glance and whispered:
"Oh ho, clumsy Kiana is here, what a killjoy... But I won't be able to eat Sister Mei's cooking anymore."
As the white light gradually disappeared, Kiana and Mei appeared in the lobby simultaneously. The two newcomers were a bit confused by what was happening.
"Mei? Kiana... Long time no see! Have you missed me?"
Kiana heard the familiar voice, and her ahoge twitched. She quickly turned her head to look. That familiar figure was deeply etched in her mind.
"Lu Ze!"
With a pounce, Kiana directly hugged Lu Ze. She couldn't believe this was real. They hadn't seen each other since they last parted.
No contact, no communication. One worked hard to complete her goal, and the other worked hard to achieve hers.
The ring on his right hand emitted a faint glow.
"Long time no see... Kiana."
Kiana, who was still immersed in her surprise, heard that familiar voice and looked over with some shock.
"Ji...zi... Teacher? How are you here? Aren't you supposed to be..."
Seeing Kiana's surprise, Jizi smiled slightly and said:
"It's all in the past. Thanks to Lu Ze, who gave me a second life, I have the chance to see you again... Kiana, are you going to achieve your dream properly?"
Tears slowly flowed from Kiana's eyes. She didn't know if they were tears of sadness or joy. She only knew... her teacher was back and standing right in front of her.
"Alright, Kiana. Hurry and get off me, you're crushing me!"
Although Lu Ze didn't want to break the moment, if this continued, he would be pressed to the floor.
Meanwhile, Raiden Mei watched it all with a smile. How wonderful this was, the deceased returning to life and living together. What a beautiful reality. If this were a dream... perhaps some people wouldn't want to wake up.
"Mei? Have you missed me~"
Elysia directly hugged Raiden Mei from behind, unable to contain her joy. Her fair hand subconsciously reached out to touch her head, but she didn't touch what she wanted to touch.
"Hmm... Elysia, while I understand the joy of reunion, why are you always touching my head? Are you... trying to touch my horns? But those horns are long gone."
Not finding what she wanted to touch, Elysia was a little disappointed. After all, she had been curious for a long time about what Raiden Mei's horns felt like. Although she might have touched them, she had forgotten over time.
"Okay... your little secret wish has been guessed by you. Forget it... I'm already content to see you again. But compared to how you were then, you've grown a lot during this time, becoming more mature and steady."
Raiden Mei didn't know what to say. It had been countless years since she left the Previous Era, so naturally, there had been great changes.
"Alright, let go of me quickly. You're hugging me too tight, it's uncomfortable."
The arrival of these two should be celebrated, right? However, Lu Ze didn't relax, because he knew... until he reached the end of this road, there was no reason for him to relax.
