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

Seeing that Seele's blush hadn't faded, Sirin asked furtively, "Seele, do you need Sirin's help?"

"...Won't this make Brother Qiu Bi angry?"

"Of course not! Besides, isn't there Xilin?"

Without hesitation, Sirin gave an affirmative answer, and then confidently added, "Sirin will find a way to bring you and Dad together. Little Sister Xier just needs to wait for Sirin's news!"

Seele bit her lip lightly, her heart filled with shyness.

“…Yes, Seele believes in Sister Sirin.”

"Hehe~"

Sirin chuckled, then hugged Seele and gently rubbed her smooth, delicate cheeks.

Qiu Bi seemed to realize something, looking at Xilin and Xier suspiciously. He felt that Xilin was plotting something, but he couldn't find any concrete evidence, so he could only silently withdraw his thoughts.

Chapter 242 Alicia and Delta

After everyone finished the cake, they went off to explore on their own.

Rosalia, Lilia, and Bronya chased and played on the beach, while Cecilia took Anna, Kiana, and Bianca swimming to relax.

Cecilia and the three girls all carried swimming rings so they could float on the sea and chat.

Penglai Temple's Nine Heavens secretly finds Shigure Kira and seems to be listening to her sing.

The people of Wuhai Manor had spent a long time together, and no one paid attention to Shigure Kira's identity as a global idol. However, Penglai Temple Jiuxiao could not ignore Shigure Kira's identity and often sought her out to chat or listen to her songs.

Qiu Bi walked towards the area where the parasol was located, with Raiden Mei and Seele on his left and right sides respectively.

As for Celine and Angeline...

At Celine's insistence, Angeline reluctantly followed Celine to find Xing.

Instead of participating in the volleyball match, Xing found another beach and used sand to build a sandcastle.

When Celine and Angeline found Anne, Anne had already begun trying to build a statue of Celine.

"Brother Qiu Bi, what is the Paradise of the Past like?"

Xi'er held Qiu Bi's right hand and asked curiously.

Qiu Bi considered his words for a moment, and then slowly recounted the story of the paradise of the past.

Raiden Mei and Seele both remained silent, patiently listening to Qiu Bi's story.

Before long, the three of them walked to the vicinity of the parasol, and Qiu Bi stopped talking at that moment.

The moment Anila saw Qiu Bi and the others, she immediately leaped up, landed on Qiu Bi's shoulder, and then threw herself into Seele's arms.

Seele paused for a moment, then hurriedly hugged Anila.

Anila nestled deep into Seele's chest, a look of apparent enjoyment creeping onto her face.

If Qiu Bi hadn't known that Anila was a woman, he might have mistaken her for a perverted cat.

Qiu Bi lay on a sun lounger, squinting as he enjoyed the sun.

Then, Bella went to Qiu Bi's side and massaged his body.

The sounds of the ladies' laughter echoed in his ears, and Bella was serving him, causing Qiu Bi to squint his eyes and gradually drift off to sleep.

……

A paradise of the past, a place of trials.

Delta's left arm transformed into a Honkai Beast's claw, while her right arm became a sharp blade, as she struggled to resist the Honkai Beasts' onslaught.

It's unclear when it started, but the strength of the Honkai Beasts and Death Warriors in the Trial Grounds has increased significantly, while the strength of the "BOSS" hasn't changed much.

Delta was not only deeply puzzled, but also felt a profound sense of unease.

What exactly happened in the Trial Grounds?

Delta pondered this in her heart, but could not find a solution.

If the Trial Grounds didn't also possess the power of resurrection, she might have thought they were already closed.

Clang!

The broad blade parried the knight-class Honkai Beast's lance, but the powerful kinetic energy it generated caused Delta to stagger back a few steps.

The next second, another rush-class Honkai Beast attacked from behind, leaving Delta struggling to cope.

Delta gritted her teeth and, without hesitation, chose to take the attack of the Rush-class Honkai Beast with her body, while simultaneously launching a fierce attack on the Knight-class Honkai Beast in front of her.

The speed of the rush-class Honkai Beasts is extremely fast, but their attack power is somewhat insufficient, making it difficult to inflict serious injuries on Delta.

In contrast, the Knight-class Honkai Beasts' fierce charges often pose a great threat to Delta.

Delta's right arm instantly transformed into numerous tentacles, which then wrapped around the hooves of the Knight-class Honkai Beast to prevent it from creating distance.

The Knight-class Honkai Beast showed no panic, raising its pure white lance and slamming it down towards Delta.

Delta did not flinch, her left arm, transformed into a Honkai Beast's claw, grabbing the lance that the Knight-class Honkai Beast was swinging.

With both hands unable to launch an attack, Delta parted her lips slightly, took a deep breath, and then…

Sharp wind blades materialized with Delta's breath and shot towards the Knight-class Honkai Beast in the next second.

laugh!

As the wind blades flew, they seemed to be stained with flames, suddenly gaining a few more bright red hues, accompanied by waves of intense heat.

The sound of burning erupted as it struck the shoulder of the Knight-class Honkai Beast.

With just a single wind blade, the arm of the Knight-class Honkai Beast was severed.

Immediately, Delta threw away the pure white lance of the Knight-class Honkai Beast, and her left arm suddenly transformed into a sharp blade, directly beheading the still-dazed Knight-class Honkai Beast.

At the same time, the rushing-class Honkai Beasts approached again.

Delta was in a state where her old power had been exhausted and her new power had not yet been generated, making it difficult for her to fight back against the Advance-class Honkai Beast. She could only grit her teeth and silently endure the attack of the Advance-class Honkai Beast.

"A beautiful girl, as radiant as a falling flower, has come to help!"

A playful voice suddenly rang out, followed by a pink feathered arrow falling from the sky, accurately piercing the head of the Assault-class Honkai Beast and pinning it to the ground.

Delta paused for a second, then looked in the direction of the sound and saw Alicia holding a pink bow and arrow.

"Hi~ Are you surprised to see me here?"

"...a little bit."

"Just a little? I thought you'd be overjoyed and happily jump into my arms~"

"..."

Delta paused for a few seconds, then pressed on, "Why are you here?"

"Of course I came to help you!"

Alicia walked lightly, like a butterfly fluttering in the air, to Delta.

Then, her upper body tilted slightly, giving the impression of "tilting her head".

"Oh dear, Delta, is it really just a 'slight accident'?"

"Yes. Before this, my teacher and I had encountered other heroes here."

"Eh? Which hero did you encounter? Hua? Or Ying?"

"neither."

Delta slowly shook her head, while restoring her arms to normal. "According to the teacher, that hero is named 'Thousand Tribulations,' and he is a respectable person."

"So it was Thousand Calamities... Delta, are you alright?"

"Qian Jie didn't attack me; at most, he killed some Honkai Beasts and Death Warriors."

"Qian Jie looks fierce, but he is actually a very good person. He used to work as a porter in a sanatorium."

"Ok, I know."

Delta responded softly, having previously heard some stories about Qianjie from Qiubi.

Then, she looked around at the scenery and asked in confusion, "Alicia, has the difficulty of the Trial Grounds increased?"

"Can you feel it? That's why I entered the Trial Grounds."

When Alicia told Delta that Klein was adjusting the device, Delta immediately fell into deep thought.

Even though Alicia didn't explain why she was adjusting the device, Delta could guess the reason.

This was a special adjustment done so that Angeline could enter the Trial Grounds.

However, before the adjustments were made, Alicia clearly did not expect that Delta would stay in the trial grounds.

Chapter 243 Delta: "I can't do anything."

After figuring out why Alicia was there, Delta's gaze swept past Alicia and looked toward the purple door not far away.

"so……"

Delta hesitated for a few seconds, then tentatively asked, "Alicia, shall we continue through the door?"

"Of course~ With the help of this lovely girl, you should be able to pass the Trial Grounds easily. That's a kind of 'shortcut' method."

Alicia smiled mischievously and then took the lead towards the purple door.

Delta hesitated for a moment, then quickly followed Alicia.

As Alicia said, with her help, Delta's difficulty in dealing with Honkai Beasts and Death Warriors was greatly reduced. Often, all she had to do was attract the attention of all the Honkai Beasts and Death Warriors, and then arrows would shoot them all down.

"Delta, your fighting style is not at all befitting of a beautiful girl."

Alicia lowered her pink bow and arrow, chuckling and teasing Delta.

Upon hearing this, Delta remained silent and walked silently toward the purple door.

Alicia followed closely behind, bombarding her with questions.

"Delta, can you tell me about Qiu Bi?"
