"..."
Did someone just make a loud noise?
While Rita felt her worldview crumbling, another person rushed past her like the wind and threw herself into Tian Shi's arms.
"Grandmaster~~!"
Li Sushang collided with Tian Shi, making him stumble.
However, Li Sushang clung to Tian Shi like a koala.
"Grandmaster~ Shang'er has missed you so much!"
"You weigh more than your mother now."
Tian Shi held Li Sushang's buttocks from below, feeling a rather soft touch and a solid weight.
"I want to stay with you forever!"
Li Sushang rubbed against Tian Shi as she said this coquettishly.
"You really deserve a beating for saying that."
Tian Shi looked at Li Sushang, who was clinging to him and acting coquettishly, and was left speechless.
Isn't this girl's development a bit excessive?
She is only 1.5 meters tall, but her development... is already better than Su Mei's and Qin Suyi's.
Is all the nutrition of the Taixu Sword Sect concentrated in this girl?
"Anyway, I can't hear you Grandmaster, please"
As Li Sushang spoke, she took advantage of the situation and tried to rub her face against Tian Shi's, or rather, "whisper sweet words" to him.
However, Senti was the first to explode, grabbing Li Sushang from behind by the collar and baring her teeth.
"Brat! Don't tempt your luck!"
"None of your business, old lady!"
Li Sushang, on the contrary, clung to him even tighter.
She loved seeing her grandmaster with a look of displeasure.
Besides, this is the only time she can keep bothering her great-grandfather; she might not get the chance again once her mothers appear.
"Who are you calling an old lady?"
Senti's eyes twitched, and for a moment she felt the urge to act, but she remembered what her master Tian had taught her before, so she barely managed to restrain herself.
As an elder, she should have the bearing of one... I endured it... I endured it.
"Alright, alright, Sushang, how old are you? Why are you still clinging to your Grandmaster?"
Kallen stepped forward, trying to pull Li Sushang down as she spoke.
"Shang'er is only fifteen years old this year, why can't she bother her Grandmaster?"
Li Sushang replied, half-joking.
"Grandmaster also likes Shang'er best, right?"
"Kallen is right, you should get down first, it's not a good idea to talk to someone who is clinging to you like a koala."
Tian Shi tapped Li Sushang's forehead, and she then put on a pitiful face and, reluctantly, pulled away from Tian Shi.
"Everyone come in... Kallen, give Otto a pat."
As Tian Shi turned around and entered the hallway, she noticed that Otto didn't seem to have "reconnected" yet, so she said...
Slap!
Hearing this, Kallen, as Otto's best friend, didn't hesitate to give her a slap.
Seeing this, Rita's and Ragna's lips twitched slightly.
"Kallen, what are you doing?!"
Otto, who had been awakened by a slap, covered her face and shouted furiously at Kallen.
"Miss Loyal Bitch, God has called you inside."
Kallen had a half-mocking expression.
"Could you repeat that? Do you mean that dog bark?"
"Woof woof!"
Otto barked twice more, without any expression.
Kallen, and everyone else present, fell silent.
Are you really going to bark?
Originally, she just wanted to tease Otto, but Otto's reaction left Kallen speechless.
This time, Otto gave Kallen a mocking look.
Even though that bark was an unconscious reaction after my brain disconnected, but...
"Even if it means serving as a dog for a God, it would be an honor for me. Is there a problem?"
"Who made you mistakenly believe that I reject this?"
"..."
What does it mean that, as long as you are not embarrassed, it is others who are embarrassed?
That's it.
Now, neither Kallen, nor Rita's group, nor even Bianka, plan to mention the dog again.
"I feel like something isn't right about this..."
Theresa, who was standing next to Tian Shi, muttered to herself.
This plot is truly strange!
It has so many flaws she doesn't even know how to criticize it anymore.
Was that really her grandfather?
No, maybe she should call her grandmother now?
What should she call Tian Shi?
However, at that moment, no one cared about Theresa's thoughts.
After Otto followed Tian Shi, everyone else did too, and then everyone looked for a place to sit.
Theresa intended to take this opportunity to escape, but Kallen dragged her inside.
Ah, right, is this her biological mother?
This feels so uncomfortable...
"Lady Theresa, please refrain from speaking in this situation."
Amber and Theresa have a fairly good relationship, so she whispered something to her about it.
Of course, speaking in a low or very low voice doesn't really matter here; if people want to hear you, they will hear you regardless of how low you speak.
However, the scene turned out to be somewhat awkward, and a brief silence ensued when everyone sat down.
Well... the main reason is that many people's worldview collapsed because of Otto's gender or because of those two barks, and they need to calm down.
Otto, who had arrived with a serene mindset, suddenly lost her mind again upon seeing the God she could touch and lick; in short, she was completely smitten, with an impassive face.
Tian Shi looked at Otto, who was acting completely out of her mind but maintaining a serious countenance, and was left speechless: Otto's farce couldn't deceive her.
Then, there was an awkward silence for a moment.
"Cough, cough..."
In the end, it was Rita who broke the silence.
"Your Excellency, please tell us about your relationship with Mr. Tian. Lord Ragna and I are very curious about it, after all, for us..."
"Ah... oh, this, the relationship between God and believers is easy to understand."
Otto snapped out of her daze and replied without thinking much.
"If religion hadn't disappeared from the historical landscape over time, I would have made God the only God in the world."
"Could you please not say such terrifying things in such a calm tone?"
Rita's lips twitched slightly; this was true for both the male bishop and the female bishop.
Perhaps the female bishop is simply less oppressive?
"I'm just telling the truth."
Otto looked at Rita without expression.
If it weren't for the inescapable tide of history, she would have dared to place Tian Shi in the position of God and then wage a holy war all over the world, annihilating any country that didn't believe in a divine being.
However, Otto later realized the general trend of the times and became too lazy to discuss it, mainly because she needed to clean up the mess of the Eastern Expedition when she took office.
She took office when the country was in chaos.
If she could have inherited power before the disastrous defeat in the Eastern Expedition, she would have dared to suppress the Renaissance after Kallen and others fell into a deep sleep, dragging Europe back into the Middle Ages.
After all, what could be more attractive to die-hard fans than leading their idols to the top of the world?
Mmm... maybe it's because the idol sleeps with the fans and could end up sleeping with her?
"My father's methods back then were quite mediocre, I thought she was incredible, but then I discovered that... although she wasn't a disaster, she was a novice."
Otto sighed, with an expression of deep disappointment.
"In short, you are lucky, if I had been born a hundred years earlier, or had taken over Schicksal twenty years earlier, your first lesson as Valkyries would be brainwashing."
"This topic really gives me goosebumps."
"Speaking of brainwashing, I actually prefer the school of thought of the na..."
"Please, let's stop here, let's leave this topic here."
Rita quickly changed the subject.
We are truly lucky to be able to become Valkyries in peace...
"It's just a hypothetical scenario, if we really wanted to brainwash you, we now have many high-tech methods available."
Otto waved her hand, saying she still had to take into account her own God's feelings, which meant she had to consider many factors before she could do anything about it.
The main reason was that Higokumaru was always around Otto back then, so Otto's thoughts wandered to that area when she had nothing to do.
After all, the power of erosion is very tempting and real, much stronger than Void Archive, which can only talk.
Unfortunately, the ultimate authority over the box lies with Tian Shi...
Seeing the look of satisfaction still reflected on Otto, Rita suddenly flashed a strange smile.
"By the way, Your Excellency, is what you said before still valid?"
"What did I say before?"
The topic changed too quickly, and since her brain had already disconnected twice before, Otto didn't immediately understand what Rita was saying.
"Didn't you say you wanted to fight for the happiness of your subordinates?"
Rita reminded her with a smile.
"Now it's your turn to make a move."
"..."
Otto looked at Rita's smiling face, then directed a glance at her own God, who looked completely baffled, and suddenly understood something, her mind shook.
"Hey, hey, hey! Otto!"
Kallen quickly caught Otto, who was about to faint, and helped her up.
"It's okay, I'm fine."
Otto rubbed her temple with one hand and leaned the other on the table.
It is an honor for my subordinates to be favored by the God... well, an honor.
Helping subordinates move up in rank is something one should do... What a load of nonsense!
If she really wanted to help someone else get to the top, she might as well have helped Kallen, since Kallen is her best friend!
Even if you don't choose Kallen, you can still choose from Su Mei, Qin Suyi, Cheng Ling Shuang, or even Li Sushang.
Who do you think you are, Rita?
But when Otto thought about what she had said before, she felt even dizzier.
No, what I said was fine, but what I didn't get a chance to say... well, luckily I didn't get a chance to say it.
If I had to tell him, I would have to atone for my guilt with my death.
"Rita, did you just say something?"
"I'm saying, Most Excellent Lord, when will you help us capture Mr. Tian Shi?"
"Ahem, Rita, isn't that a bit too direct?"
Ragna coughed twice.
Hearing this, Tian Shi looked at Otto with a puzzled expression.
"I'm very curious to know what you two talked about before."
"It's nothing, I don't understand what Rita is talking about either."
Otto resorted to blatant dishonesty.
I really can't admit this.
If we had lived in another era, and Rita's love interest was a God, Otto could have granted her a generous promotion and a salary increase at the same time.
A subordinate with good judgment deserves praise.
The problem is that the so-called "at another time" refers to her being the first wife...
Otto didn't care at all how many women surrounded her God, but she still wished to have a position in the hierarchy.
Well, if they really didn't discuss it, so be it; she can simply admit defeat gracefully.
After all, even she could deal with someone like that, so Otto had to admit she was qualified to be the first wife.
But what does it mean now?
Did she dig her own grave?
Did they sign the surrender document without even fighting?
Otto couldn't accept that kind of loss at all.
"Your Excellency, you look quite unwell."
Rita's words were touching.
Otto's lips twitched and she pretended to be dead.
It's ugly, so what?
I haven't even reproached you for your previous ungrateful behavior!
"Sushang, Kallen..."
The two of you, please, save him!
Kallen's response was concise and clear.
"Call me mom."
"..."
Otto completely lost hope in her best friend and turned to look at Li Sushang.
Li Sushang hesitated for a moment and then looked at Rita.
"Ehm... Miss Rita, about this..."
Li Sushang can behave coquettishly with Tian Shi without any qualms, and Senti can make some sarcastic remarks, but in front of others, Li Sushang is still the well-bred young lady who was trained by Su Mei and Qin Suyi, especially now that she has made a mistake.
And, to be honest, Li Sushang perceived a temperament similar to her aunt Su Mei's in Rita's slight smile.
That enigmatic smile...
From childhood to adulthood, Su Mei was the strictest with Li Sushang, and the one who punished her physically the most.
Even though she is now a Sword Goddess, if Su Mei really wanted to give her a spanking, she could only stick her butt out miserably.
The worst part is that before she could run away and could walk freely.
But since she became a Sword Goddess... run away?
You talk as if the ruler could do whatever she wanted to you.
Stick your butt out!
Once you have the strength, size no longer matters...
On the other hand, Li Sushang was quite baffled by the fact that her aunt had not yet reached the Sword Goddess level... even though her aunt's skill level was already at that level.
So Li Sushang now smiles with some hypocrisy, just like her aunt.
By the way, Cheng Ling Shuang surpassed Li Sushang in most cases, and Tian Shi in the third.
However, Qin Suyi is different from the original world and becomes a loving mother.
However, the only ones who had a real reason to hit Li Sushang were Tian Shi and Su Mei.
The beating Cheng Ling Shuang gave Li Sushang can be divided into two stages: one is when Li Sushang was a girl and spoke without thinking, and the other is when she grew up and acted recklessly in front of her...
"It was Her Holiness the Bishop who first went back on her word, Miss Li, you heard it too."
Rita smiled at Li Sushang.
Although her impression of the other party had been slightly affected by her previous unrestrained coquetry, still... it was not appropriate to be her enemy at that moment.
"I didn't know... that can't be considered as not knowing, right?"
Li Sushang hesitated for a moment before speaking in a weak voice.
This was, quite simply, a blunder on Otto's part.
Although she was also upset by this, Otto was wrong, and even if she helped, there wasn't much she could do; she couldn't take action, right?
The Grandmaster is still watching; she is probably just looking for trouble by behaving so undisciplinedly.
Though she didn't particularly dislike her great master whipping her.
Mmm...
After a moment of reflection, Li Sushang asked Rita shyly:
"Uh, how about... I join you guys?"
Otto: "..."
Rita: "...?"
