Chapter 355: Serving My Girlfriend's Master, I Really Am So Pure (1)
Because of this, the Moon Queen's attitude toward Shia grew even more distant.
Although it was subtle, she thought she had hidden it well.
However, the Sword Saint, who had always been obsessed with swordsmanship, wasn't very good at disguising herself.
Not only Shia, but even Sophia noticed something was off.
Sophia felt a bit more at ease.
The smile in her eyes deepened.
But Shia thought of even more things.
Was a new plotline about to start?
In his previous life, players had analyzed on the game's forum the possibility of a hidden storyline involving the Moon Queen.
Although in the game, the Moon Queen was a non-romanceable character, just a driving force within the Sword Saintess storyline.
But all kinds of clues suggested that maybe, at the game's earliest planning stage, she had her own hidden route.
Those abandoned hints only meant that this storyline was ultimately cut.
Perhaps there had been signs.
For example, in the game, her identity was that of a Sword Saint, Sistine's master, and the Moon Queen.
And that was it.
She didn't even have a name.
But now, this was reality. Reality didn't have the data limitations of a game; every person was a living, breathing being.
This meant that the future held infinite possibilities.
In the game, there was only the option to heal Sistine and make her happy.
But now, couldn't master and disciple both find happiness together?
The proper kind of happiness.
Standing from a godlike perspective, Shia knew a lot that others didn't.
For example... this Moon Queen, who had stepped into the Sword Saint realm ten years ago and looked in her prime, was actually approaching her death!
Her existence was tragic, carrying a shade of sorrow.
Thinking of her storyline, Shia couldn't help but feel a quiet resolve rise in his heart.
Maybe, he could do something.
All he wanted was to protect her future.
For her, and also for that seemingly gentle and understanding upperclassman.
While Shia was pondering the plotline from his past life, he suddenly sensed a strange ripple.
He looked down. The charm ring on his hand looked ordinary, but there was an invisible wave only he could sense.
Through the bond with the charm ring, it transmitted directly into his mind.
"Landlord~ Got a minute? There's something I want to discuss~."
The lazy, seductive voice was heart-melting, but there was a hint of nervousness in it.
Shia lowered his eyes slightly, feeling a bit surprised.
This was the first time she had proactively reached out to him.
Normally, Mei would never take the initiative to contact Shia.
But this time, she had sensed something that made her extremely anxious, and couldn't hold back from reaching out.
When Shia entered the ring's inner space, a soft, warm body immediately pounced on him.
Caught off guard, Shia was knocked over by her strength and fell onto the soft bed.
Her curvy, delicate body wrapped in black gauze pressed tightly against Shia's chest, her shoulders trembling slightly, a hint of fear on her stunning face.
Because she was so nervous, she hadn't even noticed her clothes had gotten a little messy. Her round, luscious shoulder peeked out from under the sheer black fabric, white and tender like fine jade, practically begging to be touched.
This seductive little fairy, looking like a frightened little bunny, clung to Shia, her lazy, sultry voice carrying a hint of pitiful whining.
"I sensed a familiar divine fluctuation."
Mei huddled in Shia's arms, lowering her voice as if afraid someone might overhear.
Even though they were separated by two spaces, she didn't dare to relax.
She could sense the other party's existence, so couldn't the other party also sense her?
As a remnant divine soul, Mei was a prime target for other gods to devour!
If that familiar figure noticed her...
Mei shivered deeply, scared out of her mind!
Shia reached out and gently stroked her smooth, soft back.
"Don't be afraid. Nothing will happen."
His voice was calm and reassuring, without a trace of panic or fear.
Under his soothing touch, Mei finally calmed down a little, but she was still anxious.
"How can you be so calm? If she finds me, I'll get eaten!"
It was a matter of life and death for her—how could he be so relaxed?
But Shia really wasn't worried.
He knew exactly where the divine fluctuation that terrified Mei came from.
Today, a new visitor had arrived at the Guen family's territory.
And that divine fluctuation was coming from her—the Moon Queen!
It was also the reason for her impending death.
She had signed a pact with the Original, exchanging her lifespan for supreme insight, squeezing out every last bit of potential.
All to one day challenge the gods with her sword.
Exchanging life for enlightenment—succeed or die trying!
That was her dedication to the way of the sword.
Thinking about this, Shia sighed deeply.
"Don't worry. You won't be eaten."
Mei lifted her head, staring at Shia with her enchanting eyes.
Only now did she realize something was off.
This was a being that even she feared and panicked over—why wasn't he scared?
It didn't make sense.
Unless… he knew something. Maybe he even had a way to handle it!
Seeing Shia so composed, Mei's tense body finally started to relax.
"You know..."
She had a flash of realization and was about to keep talking when she suddenly froze.
The warm feeling under her body, her chest pressing against the boy's—it was different. Harder, but very warm.
Her gaze slowly drifted downward.
Now that she was out of her panic, Mei realized how inappropriate her posture was. She scrambled to climb off Shia in a panic.
In her haste, she slipped and fell right back into his arms again.
Pfft!
Shia couldn't hold it in and let out a laugh.
The boy's clear and magnetic laughter was pleasant to the ear, but it only made Mei even more frustra ted.
