You wouldn't want them to be bullied, would you?

At the ends of the four skirts, four cores of different colors emerged.

If you look closely, you will find that these cores are all "projections". Although they look lifelike, they are not actually physical objects.

Xilin let out a long sigh, then murmured unconsciously.

"I am the Lawbringer, the gods have bestowed upon me a crown, I draw lightning as my bow and arrow, to shatter all things—the King of Conquest!"

"I am the Lawbringer, the gods have granted me authority, I can command endless storms, and be a thousand miles away in an instant—the King of Desire!"

"I am the Herald, the gods have given me this cotton robe, to offer the wine of death, and to sweeten my dreams—King of Tranquility!"

"I am the Herrscher, the gods have given me a sword, immortal flames envelop me, and sparks can ignite a prairie fire—the King of Plague!"

sound off.

The prismatic crystal suddenly shattered, turning into yellow fragments of varying sizes that drifted in all directions.

Xilin made a fist with her right hand, and flames and lightning appeared simultaneously, like an invisible "millstone" grinding the fragments of the prismatic crystal into dust.

Then, a sudden gust of wind blew the yellow dust away completely.

"Hmph! Sirin isn't some kind of Herrscher, she's the world's strongest magical girl!"

Sirin gave a disgruntled snort, then switched to her magical girl form, replacing her clothes with a magical long dress.

She then twirled around playfully, causing her skirt to flutter, before nodding in satisfaction.

"This is the right thing!"

Sirin smiled with delight, then tore through space, revealing the entrance to the imaginary space.

When Sirin entered the imaginary space, she saw Qiu Bi and Bella chatting and laughing. She was immediately jealous and couldn't help but shout, "Big brother, Sirin has already obtained those Honkai energies!"

Upon hearing Celine's voice, Bella, like a child who had done something wrong, hurriedly stood up, not daring to look at Celine.

Qiu Bi slowly stood up, then lazily stretched and said, "Now you can revive your companions."

"Should we resurrect Aurora, Agatha, and Galina?"

The current Bella Benalès is the "Bella" in Celine's memory, which is why Celine did not mention "Bella".

Qiu Bi nodded and said, "You now possess the core of the Herrscher of Death, enough to resurrect Aurora, Agatha, and Galina."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qiu Bi seemed to remember something and couldn't help but ask, "Xilin, did you see 'God'?"

"Of course I saw him, he's a bad guy!"

When the so-called "god" was mentioned, Celine immediately became very angry.

"That villain wanted to turn Sirin into a bad child, and then into a big bad guy who destroys everything beautiful, so Sirin simply refused to communicate with 'God'!"

"Then how did you obtain this Honkai energy?"

Qiu Bi was intrigued.

"I don't know! After Sirin went inside, her body started absorbing the Honkai energy."

Xilin shook her head, then threw herself into Qiu Bi's arms and asked, "Big brother, what are we going to do next? Xilin misses her mother a little."

"Then let's go back to see Mom tonight."

Qiu Bi affectionately stroked Xilin's head, then looked at Bella, "Can you send electromagnetic waves back to Earth?"

"Of course, but... sir, what would you like to do?"

"Send the First Herrscher to the moon to see us, and tell them that we will launch a meteorite to Earth every 72 hours until the First Herrscher arrives on the moon."

"I understand."

Bella nodded vigorously, then left the imaginary space and sent electromagnetic waves toward Earth.

Xilin leaned against Qiu Bi's chest, silently counting on her fingers.

"72 hours...it should be three days."

“That’s right, three days. After Bella sends out the electromagnetic waves, we’ll return to Earth—Cirin, can you teleport directly to Mom?”

"Of course! Celine always remembers where home is, and Mom keeps talking about Celine and her older brother!"

"Cilin, hang in there a little longer, we'll be able to go home soon."

"Ok!"

……

Earth, the Siberian border.

After finishing her work for the day, Xilin's mother, dragging her tired body and worried heart, embarked on her journey home.

"I wonder how Sirin and Qiu Bi are doing... It seems things are getting a bit turbulent around the Tower of Babel lately."

Celine's mother had recently inquired a lot about the Babylon Laboratory and knew that it was located in the Tower of Babylon in the Siberian snowfields.

The recent deaths of many researchers at the Babylon Laboratory have caused considerable unrest, with news even reaching the Siberian border.

That's why Celine's mother knew about these things.

In addition, Sirin's mother also heard that many "monsters" had appeared in the Siberian snowfields.

According to other survivors, the monsters had hard exoskeletons, making them impervious to ordinary weapons, while they could easily kill humans.

Now, all Sirin's mother can do is hope that Sirin and Qiu Bi won't encounter that monster and will return safely to the Siberian border.

As for what happens next...

Xilin's mother already had a rough idea and was preparing to discuss it with Qiu Bi.

It is said that monsters are rarely encountered in the far east, making it very safe, with a comfortable climate and excellent educational resources.

Whether for their future life or for Celine's growth, Celine's mother believed it was necessary to move away from the Siberian border.

However, with Celine's mother's assets, she could only move her family of three to the Far East at most, and then she would have no further financial means.

“We must discuss this with Qiu Bi to prevent a recurrence of what happened before. Besides, Qiu Bi comes from elsewhere and has more experience than I do…”

Celine's mother muttered to herself, carrying a small bag of vegetables, and took out her keys to open the door.

The next second, she had just opened the door and hadn't even stepped into the room when she heard familiar, joyful shouts.

"Mom, Celine misses you!"

Chapter Twenty-One: The Big Brother Suddenly Became the Father

Xilin suddenly threw herself into her mother's arms. The force of the impact caused Xilin's mother to stumble back a few steps and almost fall.

"Xilin, when did you get home?"

"Cirin and her older brother just got home!"

Celine nuzzled her mother affectionately, then continued, "Mom, Celine made some new friends this time, and even brought one home!"

Xilin's mother looked at her with gentle eyes and softly rubbed Xilin's head. Then she looked at Qiu Bi, who was standing in the center of the room, with affection in her eyes.

Feeling the gaze of Xilin's mother, Qiu Bi smiled and said, "Madam, I've brought Xilin back."

Upon hearing this, Xilin's mother released Xilin and gracefully walked towards Qiu Bi. Her slender figure was fully displayed in the tight-fitting old clothes.

Before long, Xilin's mother walked up to Qiu Bi, then hugged him tightly, whispering in his ear, "Thank you for bringing Xilin back, my dear."

When she said the last three words, Xilin's mother deliberately paused and emphasized the words, making Qiu Bi feel as if an electric current was flowing through his ears and quickly through his limbs, producing a tingling sensation that was both pleasant and comfortable.

"Madam, Celine is still here..."

"I was just about to tell Celine about this, so I won't have to worry about her anymore."

Upon hearing this, Xilin's mother immediately released Qiu Bi, then walked towards Xilin, squatted down in front of Xilin, and looked directly into Xilin's eyes.

"Cirin, do you want your older brother to become family?"

"hope!"

"So... Sirin, from today onwards you can call big brother 'Dad'."

"Huh... wait? Big brother has become dad?"

Celine stared blankly at her mother, her eyes filled with confusion and disbelief.

Even though she had never been to school, she knew the difference between "big brother" and "dad".

"Mom, how come my older brother suddenly became... Dad?"

"Cilin, you're still young now. You'll understand when you grow up."

"But……"

"No matter what identity my older brother becomes, he will still love Sirin, won't he?"

"...Mom is right."

Xilin stared blankly at her mother's happy face, seemingly infected by the happiness, and suddenly felt a surge of happiness herself.

However, the sudden change of "big brother" to "dad" still brought great shock to Xilin, which can be described as "shocking Xilin for a minute".

As for why it's one minute...

That's because not long after, Xilin jumped into Qiu Bi's arms with joy and excitement, shouting, "Xilin has a dad now!"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Bi chuckled and couldn't help but reach out to stroke Xilin's hair.

As Celine's mother gently closed the door, a happy smile appeared on her face upon seeing this scene.

Then, she saw Bella standing next to Qiu Bi and Xilin, and quickly invited Bella to sit on the edge of the bed.

Is this child Sirin's friend?

"Ah."

Qiu Bi nodded and picked up Celine. "Madam, this child is named Bella Benares. She is Celine's friend and maid."

"A maid? But Bella shouldn't be very old, right?"

In Celine's mother's view, children of Bella and Celine's age should be in school learning and making friends, not in such a poor and backward area.

Therefore, even if Bella were truly skilled at housework and cooking, Celine's mother would never allow Bella to do these things.

"Yes, Bella and Celine are the same age, both 13 years old this year."
