……
Although Lonis wanted to appear brave and reliable, like a great hero!
But in reality?
In the very next moment, the silver-haired girl was electrocuted and jumped up!
“Waaaaah!!!!!”
Lonis, trying to be cool just now, completely forgot to add “nya” at the end of her sentence… forcing her to now whimper and wag her tail, begging for mercy as she said:
“It hurts nya, stop it nya! Hurry and stop nya!”
“Pfft.”
However, this time, Elus was genuinely amused by Lonis.
Perhaps the black-haired girl hadn’t been in a good mood before?
But now, she genuinely blinked her eyes and said:
“Hmph, you’re as expected, you little idiot. Even when you’re trying to be cool, you look so foolish!”
“Mew…”
“Then, I’ll support you as we move forward. Don’t talk too much, be careful not to get tossed around again, okay?”
From then on, the two girls moved forward leaning on each other.
Although outwardly Elus was supporting Lonis, who was “exhausted,” in reality, the two were leaning a bit too close.
Their arms and waists were seamlessly pressed together, and even Lonis’s fluffy tail was “pulled” over by Elus.
This scene truly made them look like intimate lovers traveling together.
However, others didn’t know that…
(Wuwu, Elus smells so good… and my magic power, my magic power is completely out of control.)
As hero and companion, Lonis and Elus shared a unique connection—this connection helped them overcome quite a few enemies along the way.
But don’t forget. At the very beginning, how did Lonis transfer magic power?
By kissing.
And now, with their relationship having become even more intimate, even without kissing, the touch of their skin allowed their magic power to ripple between them.
This led to a problem.
Even though they were wearing clothes, Lonis felt as if there was absolutely no barrier between her and Elus.
It was as if her own saliva was being drawn in by her lover, and the aura of magic, after being brewed between the girl’s lips and teeth, became even more natural and pure, as sweet as nectar.
……
After clinging to each other for only a short while, Lonis’s cheeks turned red, and her head felt dizzy.
She could only stay on her feet thanks to Elus supporting her.
……
And the other companions? Seeing the two’s intimate interaction, they naturally didn’t disturb them.
Su Ling simply raised her arm and pointed to a cluster of buildings in the distance, saying, “Sister Jessica, what is that building?”
“Hmm, that is the Royal Capital’s largest inn, called the House of Ice and Snow. Although it hasn’t been used for over a hundred years, back then, it gathered travelers from all over the world.”
“Oh…”
“Then, what about that very large building?”
“Hmm, that is the city’s assembly hall. In the past, both nobles and commoners would make decisions that affected the country here.”
“That’s amazing, but what a pity… it’s all a bit dilapidated?”
……
Su Ling lowered her head with a hint of helplessness.
Even though it was her first time here, she could imagine the prosperity of the past from this desolate scene—the entire Snow Kingdom’s Royal Capital could have housed at least 100,000 people. That must have been a grand sight, right?
And now…
……
“Hmm, I also think it’s a pity. However… I have an idea, a desire to rebuild this place.”
“Eh, Sister Cécile?”
Hearing Cécile say this, the girls all revealed surprised expressions.
And the silver-haired girl placed her hand on her chest and said with great confidence, “Yes, because the Snow Kingdom is at least considered our relatives. Therefore, the Kingdom Ming has always had a plan to rebuild the Royal Capital.”
“!”
“However, due to Castor’s interference, and because the Demon Race is also unstable, we have never had the surplus finances and manpower to do such a thing. But undeniably, this is Fiery Abyss’s base, and it also has plenty of ore, so it is very valuable economically and strategically!”
“Wow, that’s great!! Sister Cécile, you’re amazing!”
Su Ling happily hugged Cécile, but Elus, who should have been the happiest, sighed and said, “Sigh… Cécile, while I am very grateful for your assistance, rebuilding should not be such a simple matter.”
“Eh?”
“It would have been fine in the past, when the vast tower connected to the mountains was still here, but now the vast tower has long been destroyed by Cru. To reach the peak, you either have to travel by ship or endure a long journey, which is very inconvenient for movement.”
“Uh…”
“Moreover, the heating system must be in disrepair, right? It’s better now in summer, but in winter… I highly doubt that, given the current situation, this city can even supply survival for a thousand people.”
Elus’s expression was somewhat solemn. As a princess who grew up here, she naturally knew how big the gap was between the present and the past.
However…
“Elus, don’t worry, at least, we have made a start, haven’t we?”
“Uh…”
“Hmm, Bai Ye also thinks so… Originally, Bai Ye thought there wouldn’t be any plants in the Snow Country, but after coming here, Bai Ye discovered there are such vast trees! So, if we work hard and research, perhaps we can even develop crops that grow in the Snow Country.”
“Everyone…”
……
Elus shivered, not expecting that everyone was even more enthusiastic than she was about rebuilding this Snow Kingdom.
Then, since that’s the case…
……
“Well then, I’ll leave future matters to everyone’s planning. Let’s first clear a flat area to land the Time Shuttle. Then we can discuss together what methods we can use to revitalize this place.”
“Okay!”
……
……
However, despite the girls’ confidence and drive,
Reality is always more tragic than ideals…
……
Take that large building, the “House of Ice and Snow,” for example. Because it has been frozen for a long time, although its external structure is still intact and looks the part,
The internal structure is not so fortunate.
The bedsheets and silk cloths have aged with time. While they look bright and beautiful on the surface, they are practically crumbling at the slightest touch!
The heating pipes are broken in multiple places. Originally, by living in the “House of Ice and Snow,” one could enjoy the hot springs directly in the side hall on the first floor, experiencing the healing beauty without leaving the house.
But now, even the entire bath has been frozen by the snow outside, and the wall plaster and wallpaper have long since peeled off, making it look like a haunted house.
Therefore, although Su Ling’s “original intention” was to come for a hot spring bath, the girls can now only live in the Time Shuttle and cannot take a bath.
……
“Wuwu, my swimsuit is useless now, and I can’t see Little Luo in a swimsuit, wuwuwu…”
“Su Ling, why are you more concerned about this kind of thing than I am, a boy!”
“Eh, is Little Luo a boy… Ah, I almost forgot because you’re too cute.”
“Wua?”
“But no matter what, Little Luo, let’s dig through to the hot spring! As the owner of the power of Fiery Abyss, our mission is to let warm springs flow in this world!”
“It’s not that simple.”
……
Lonis sighed. They hadn’t come for a hot spring bath in the first place.
It was just that Su Ling bought so many swimsuits after hearing Jessica say that the “Snow Kingdom’s Royal Capital” once had hot springs.
And now…
To take a hot spring bath, do they have to dig it themselves?
This kind of thing, just thinking about it, is impossible, right?
Lonis was a bit troubled, but Su Ling was serious. Seeing that Little Luo seemed indifferent, she started to persuade others.
……
“Eight-tailed Fox!”
“Here!”
“Miss Eight-tailed Fox, you want to see everyone in their swimsuits, right? You want to see the girls in the hot spring, with their bare bosoms exposed?”
“Oh… Of course I do!”
Eight-tailed Fox took a deep breath, as blood was already flowing from her nose.
“Then join the Su Ling Special Ops Team, and let’s dig for the hot spring together!!”
“Oho!! Lady Su Ling, please command me freely!!!”
“And Candelle…”
“I don’t want to dig for a hot spring, it’s dirty and tiring, what a hassle!”
Although Candelle wanted to slip away, she was instantly grabbed by Su Ling.
“Candelle, but if we dig out a hot spring, Sister Cécile will also be happy!”
“Happy… Why?”
“After all, this can be considered the first step for Princess Cécile to establish the World Alliance! In the future, Princess Cécile might mention Candelle’s historical feat in her speech at the UN conference, mentioning that the first step of the alliance began with digging for hot springs.”
“Is… Is that so? I’ll help too!!”
……
And so, with the help of Candelle and Eight-tailed Fox, Su Ling began her hot spring construction plan~
