"Nahida, I want to buy you for the night!"
As March 7th's suggestive line appeared in the game, Little Bear's live stream exploded once again.
[Oh my gosh, March 7th, you pure, adorable, and beautiful girl! (covers face)]
[March, what have you done?! Have you even looked at what you've done?!]
[Silly, cute, lovable, beautiful, gorgeous, and amazing! I want to sunbathe with her! ԅ(♡'♡ԅ)]
[Randomly using vulgar language toward women is illegal, and so is bullying the disabled, especially someone like March 7th. She's not only a super beautiful girl but also a complete ditz with no memories, acting like a little girl with the purity of a blank sheet of paper. Imagine stacking all these vulnerabilities together—how long do you think the sentence would be?]
[Don't say anymore! Whatever the sentence, so be it! March 7th is worth it! (Smirks)]
["Um... is it possible—I mean, just a possibility, right?—that all of you combined couldn't beat the March 7th I'm playing as?" (Covers face)]
March 7th's outrageous claim caused another visible exodus of viewers from the live stream.
Where did these people go? No one knew, but it was likely they were silently offering prayers to the gods...
["It's a crude way of putting it, but she's got a point. Since it's coming from March 7th, let's not expect too much sophistication."]
Seeing some viewers making inappropriate comments about the innocent and adorable March 7th, Little Bear immediately banned them all. Then, gazing at the game's cute but clueless Chibi March 7th, he chuckled,
"Whoa! How did you suddenly get so handsome?!"
A split second later, Little Bear's cheerful expression vanished, replaced by one of utter shock and awe.
A strikingly handsome, cold, aloof figure had appeared in the game: a tall, nearly 1.6-meter-tall man with long white hair and crimson eyes.
This handsome man had no flaws other than his height, which was just under 1.6 meters. The moment he appeared, he instantly captivated the attention of everyone in the live stream and within the game.
His striking good looks were one thing, but what truly intrigued Genshin Players was that he seemed, perhaps, to resemble a certain familiar face...
Someone who loved telling jokes and could trigger Superconduct reactions with ease...
"I am Sneer, General Mahamatra of Sumeru City. As compensation, if you encounter any trouble, big or small, feel free to come to me. I will help you resolve it."
As the story progressed, the white-haired beauty cleared up the misunderstanding with March 7th and introduced himself, confirming what most viewers in the live stream had already suspected.
[Oh, Sneer! (covers face) I bet he's got a million bad jokes!]
[If there's a General Mahamatra, does that mean there's also a Forest Ranger?]
[But seriously, how come your height is still the same as that 1.5-meter-tall immortal, even in a different world? (covers face)]
[Disrespecting the Immortal Master!]
[The General Mahamatra has already appeared. Can the Forest Ranger be far behind?]
"He's gotten stronger and his skin is paler, but why hasn't he grown even a centimeter taller?" Little Bear couldn't help but crack up at the sight of the General Mahamatra, who stood even shorter than March 7th in the game.
The great General Mahamatra, renowned joke master, who in another universe sat at the same table as a certain Immortal Master, had somehow ended up sharing a table with a Xianzhou swordsman boasting a perfect combat record in the vast Cosmos of Honkai: Star Rail...
Perhaps this was simply the fate of a joke master.
"Ahem, even though he's called 'Sneer,' he might not actually tell cold jokes."
"Maybe they just look similar, but their personalities could be completely different."
Though Little Bear desperately wanted Sneer to start spouting nonsensical jokes, he hesitated to conflate the two characters until the jokes actually came...
Otherwise, he feared Sneer might blurt out a "hilarious" joke at any moment...
"Hmm... it seems about time."
Inside the cabin, Lumina watched the fastest player currently immersed in their day of fun with Nahida. She put away her phone, preparing to get down to business.
"Ugh... let me think..." Lumina first glanced at Nahida's perspective, then lowered her head in thought.
"We're still short one high-end combatant... Do I have to create another one?" she muttered to herself.
"Oh right, I almost forgot about you."
Suddenly, as if struck by a thought, Lumina snapped her head up, a radiant smile blooming on her face.
Then, as if from nowhere, she plucked out a pure white kitten.
"You damn Abundance Abomination... Meow!"
The kitten, caught off guard by Lumina's sudden appearance, froze for a moment. Then it saw her exquisite face—the very face it despised most.
Seeing this, the kitten immediately bared its claws and hissed, extending its paws in an attempt to leave its mark on Lumina's detestable face.
"Little Phantylia is being naughty," Lumina said with a faint smile, effortlessly dodging the attack with a casual tilt of her head. She reached out a finger and gently poked the kitten's mouth.
A stream of pure green energy flowed from her fingertip into the kitten's mouth.
"Meow! Meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow!!! (Fucking bitch! You goddamn Abundance Abomination!!!)"
"Meow!???"
"Meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow, meow meow meow meow meow meow?!!! (You goddamn Abundance Abomination, what have you done to me?!!!)"
Feeling Lumina's manipulation of her body, Phantylia instantly panicked. Her eyes blazed with fury as she glared at Lumina, meowing incessantly like a cat in heat.
"Hmm? Phantylia, are you going into heat?" Lumina asked, feigning ignorance of her words. She tilted her head in mock confusion, her eyes betraying a hint of feigned curiosity.
"Meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow! (You damned Abundance Abomination!)"
"Quiet down. Keep making noise and I'll give you more "treatment" for another hour." Knowing Phantylia wouldn't stop without a demonstration of power, Lumina wasted no time and reached out to seal Phantylia's language system.
"..." Hearing this and recalling the tortures she had endured on the Xianzhou, Phantylia's constantly writhing body suddenly went still.
It wasn't out of fear, but because Phantylia understood that now was not the time for playful banter with Lumina.
"Do something for me. If you succeed, I'll let you out to stretch your legs every now and then." Lumina rubbed Phantylia's head gently, her voice soft as silk.
"..." Feeling Lumina's warmth on her head, Phantylia remembered all of Lumina's past actions toward her. Without hesitation, she jerked her head away, her actions speaking volumes.
That damned Abundance Abomination! Has the Cloud Knight kicked her brain loose? She actually wants my help? What a joke!
Phantylia snorted inwardly, convinced Lumina must have taken a blow to the head to even entertain such a notion.
"Think carefully~ This is an order, not a request~" Lumina wasn't surprised by Phantylia's defiance. She smiled gently and elaborated on her earlier words.
"If you refuse, there's nothing I can do~"
"Except let your Antimatter Legion, the great army of Destruction, fully embrace Destruction itself~"
Lumina's tone was remarkably light, her expression gentle, as if the prospect of utter annihilation were merely a joke.
Hmm... if only she'd remove that hand patting the kitten's head.
"...!" Hearing these words and sensing the aura of death looming overhead, Phantylia immediately flashed a feline grin, turned her head back, met Lumina's gaze, and nodded obediently. In the end, she chose to follow her true nature...
"A wise choice," Lumina nodded, a radiant smile spreading across her face, thoroughly pleased with Phantylia's newfound obedience.
"First, do this... then that... then... finally, this..."
"Understand?"
"..." Phantylia meticulously committed Lumina's instructions to memory. This wasn't about being docile; it was about executing the task flawlessly to earn Lumina's trust.
By impressing this damned Abundance Abomination, she could convince her that she had been completely tamed, utterly compliant. Then, the moment Lumina let her guard down, Phantylia would make her escape!
At that moment, she would summon Zephyro and Celenova. Together, the three Lord Ravagers would unleash utter Destruction upon this accursed Abundance Abomination!
They would bestow upon her the most catastrophic annihilation the Cosmos had ever witnessed!
Let her regret ever provoking a Lord Ravager!
As for why not simply stab her in the back the moment she lowered her guard?
Of course, it was because Phantylia lacked confidence... This damned abomination had exuded an unsettling aura from beginning to end. Having finally seized this opportunity, Phantylia wasn't foolish enough to undertake a highly risky and almost impossible task...
After all, this creature was an Abundance Emanator—not someone easily killed...
That's how I'll do it, Phantylia thought, already formulating a complete plan and preparing to put it into action.
Though Phantylia's scheme seemed flawless, she had clearly overlooked one crucial detail:
Namely...
This hasn't even been long! Has Phantylia's brain been eaten or something? Lumina muttered to herself, having seen through Phantylia's entire plan and scheme.
She recalled explicitly stating from the beginning that within her prison, no matter what methods were employed or what disguises used, any thought that crossed Phantylia's mind would be immediately sensed by her.
Clearly, Phantylia had forgotten.
Whatever, it doesn't matter what she thinks. If Phantylia manages to escape, I'll rename myself Jing Yuan the second...
Lumina shook her head, dismissing the thought. She paid no attention to Phantylia's escape plan.
"From now on, you're the villain! Understand?"
"Hmm... You seem to be the villain already."
Lumina set Little Phantylia down, ruffled her small head.
"...!"
"...?"
"...???"
"Oh, I forgot." Though Phantylia said nothing, Lumina understood her unspoken meaning. She gently tapped Phantylia's lips with a finger, lifting the enchantment silencing her.
"You damned—cough cough—Lady... Lady Lumina, I understand! I understand! You want me to play a big villain, right? I get it, I get it!"
Feeling the seal on her lips lifted, Phantylia immediately reacted instinctively, nearly blurting out, "You damned Abundance Abomination!"
Fortunately, Phantylia caught herself in time and hastily retracted the words she had nearly spoken.
Sensing Lumina's gentle smile, Phantylia immediately caved, gritting her teeth as she forced out the words "Lady Lumina."
"Hmm... You seem a little reluctant?" Lumina observed Phantylia's expression, her eyes twinkling mischievously as a smile curled at the corners of her lips. "If you're not willing, then I think we should just drop it."
"I'll send you to Reincarnation, then~"
"Relax, it'll be quick~ and it won't hurt at all."
With that, Lumina placed her hand once again on Phantylia's crown and began to channel energy.
"Wait! Wait! Lady Lumina, Lady Lumina, I'm willing, I'm willing!"
"Meow meow meow~ Meow meow meow~ Meow meow meow~"
Feeling the icy grip of death creep into her heart again, Phantylia abandoned all pretense of dignity as a Lord Ravager and hastily began mimicking a kitten's cries, meowing desperately.
After all, no one else was around to witness her humiliation. No one would ever know that beneath Lumina's hand, the creature purring and meowing like a docile kitten was in fact a Lord Ravager...
If that's the case, then it doesn't matter... Phantylia reassured herself inwardly.
"Such a good little kitty~" Lumina nodded in satisfaction, gazing down at the once-arrogant Lord Ravager now completely under her thumb.
A little Lord Ravager, right where she belongs~
