As a symbiotic being, I raise children amidst the chaos.

A little earlier, in the bishop's office, Otto tapped the table lightly, "Hmm... it's almost time... my lovely Theresa should have already enjoyed the meal I prepared for her..."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a waiter's voice came through the intercom on the table. Otto looked at the photo of Theresa on the table. "My lovely granddaughter, your beloved grandpa is here!"

Meanwhile, Theresa and Chenyuan had already left the restaurant and arrived at the central area of ​​the amusement park. "Chenyuan, let's go take a look over there!" Theresa said, pointing to a Ferris wheel not far away.

"Is that... a Ferris wheel?" Chen Yuan looked in the direction Theresa was pointing, then nodded. "Since you want to go, let's go take a look. It won't take much time anyway."

"Chen Yuan, you're the best!" Hearing Chen Yuan's agreement, Theresa jumped up and down with joy, almost throwing him off. "Onward to the Ferris wheel!! Let's go!!"

Chen Yuan was amused by Theresa's excitement and sat steadily on her shoulders, swaying gently with her steps. "Slow down, don't rush, the Ferris wheel isn't going to grow legs and run away."

The two walked towards the Ferris wheel, passing many amusement rides along the way. Theresa looked around excitedly, occasionally letting out exclamations of surprise. The Ferris wheel, located in the center of the amusement park, was surrounded by many beautiful lights; it must have been stunning at night.

"Wow, Chenyuan, look how beautiful those lights are!" Theresa pointed to a string of colorful lights not far away, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

"Yes, they are indeed very beautiful." Chen Yuan nodded, following Theresa's gaze. The lights were particularly eye-catching during the day, and one could imagine how magnificent they would be when night fell.

The two arrived near the Ferris wheel, and Theresa excitedly ran to the ticket window. "A Ferris wheel ticket!" she said to the ticket seller with a smile.

The ticket seller politely replied, "Okay, please wait a moment."

Theresa took the tickets and led Chenyuan towards the Ferris wheel entrance. As the Ferris wheel slowly turned and the cabins gradually rose, the surrounding scenery unfolded before their eyes. With each increase in height, Theresa's excitement grew stronger.

“Chenyuan, look how small the people below have become!” Theresa said, pointing downwards.

"Yes, looking down from here, the whole amusement park looks completely different," Chen Yuan said casually, his tone relaxed as he lazily stretched. "It really does make you feel good."

Theresa laughed when she heard Chen Yuan's words. She turned to look at Chen Yuan, and the sunlight shone through the rotating glass window onto Chen Yuan's face, outlining his features with a soft golden glow.

“So…so beautiful…” Theresa murmured, unconsciously staring in a daze. Chen Yuan noticed her gaze and turned to look at Theresa. “Indeed, it’s really beautiful from here.”

“Of course, all of that is insignificant compared to your cuteness,” Chen Yuan said gently, his eyes filled with tenderness. Theresa blushed slightly, smiled shyly, and then turned back to look out the window.

“It’s not as exaggerated as you say! But when you see a view like this, you feel that the world is especially beautiful,” Theresa said softly, recalling the comics about Kallen that she had read.

“I understand a little now… the reason for protecting the world…” Theresa turned to look at the lingering dust on her shoulder and smiled brightly. “After all… wouldn’t it be a waste if such a miraculous beauty were to shatter?”

Chen Yuan stared blankly at Theresa's smile. To be honest, Theresa's charm was off the charts right now, and she completely lost her usual girlish demeanor.

"Yes...you're right." With a soft chuckle, Chen Yuan reached out and stroked Theresa's hair, a smile like that of a father watching his daughter grow up. "I believe you can protect this beautiful world, you definitely can!"

Theresa's smile faltered for a moment. She blinked and looked at Chen Yuan's smiling face, a feeling she had never experienced before welling up inside her.

"Ahem... Of course, I'll definitely try my best!" Theresa coughed twice, turned her head as if nothing had happened, and continued looking at the scenery outside. "Not just me, Chenyuan, you have to come with me too!"

Chen Yuan smiled and nodded, saying nothing, simply keeping Theresa company as they admired the beautiful scenery outside the window.

As the Ferris wheel slowly ascended to its highest point, the entire amusement park unfolded before our eyes. The sun-drenched rides, the bustling crowds, and the distant city skyline—everything was laid out before us.

"Wow, that's so high..." Theresa exclaimed, but the next second, her face instantly turned gloomy. She pointed to the ground and said through gritted teeth, "Chenyuan, look over there!"

"Huh? What's wrong?" Following Theresa's finger, Chen Yuan's pupils contracted. In a blind spot in the amusement park, a group of people dressed in black surrounded a blond child.

That place was indeed tricky; if they hadn't been on a Ferris wheel, they probably wouldn't have seen this. Chen Yuan took a deep breath, his right arm transforming into a blade shape, and slicing a circle through the glass in front of him.

With a gentle push, she removed the round shard of glass into the carriage to prevent it from falling and causing any unnecessary trouble. "Theresa, get ready to go!"

“Understood!” Theresa nodded, took two steps back, and jumped out through the circular opening. Seeing this, Chen Yuan extended two tentacles from the air and plunged into the ground. “Hold on tight, Theresa!”

Upon hearing this, Theresa immediately grabbed one of the tentacles tightly, and with a pull from Chenyuan's tentacle, the two quickly flew downwards.

"What are you guys going to do to that child?!" In the blink of an eye, Theresa was already above those people, and slammed her fist into the ground.

A large crater suddenly appeared in the ground, and the men in black scattered in fright from the unexpected attack. Theresa landed steadily in front of the blond child, her sharp eyes fixed on them.

The men in black were clearly caught off guard by the sudden appearance, especially when they saw Theresa; they froze on the spot, staring blankly at the blonde child who was being blocked by Theresa.

"Who are you? What do you want with this child?" Theresa demanded sharply, her eyes flashing with anger. This was the first time Chen Yuan had ever seen Theresa so angry.

The men in black exchanged glances, none of them speaking. Then, the leader saw the blonde child behind Theresa make a slight hand gesture, took a step forward, and sneered, "Little girl, this is none of your business. If you know what's good for you, get out of here, or don't blame us for being impolite."

Theresa's face darkened further upon hearing this, her fists clenched tightly, clearly on the verge of bursting with rage. Chen Yuan, perched on her shoulder, observed the others' reactions and sensed something was amiss.

Although these people appeared vicious on the surface, Chen Yuan sensed no hostility whatsoever. On the contrary, their legs trembled slightly when they saw Theresa suddenly rush out.

Moreover, judging from Theresa's performance of shattering the ground with one punch, an ordinary kidnapper would probably have been so frightened that he would have knelt down and begged for mercy long ago. How could he still be confronting her now?

Looking back at the blonde child hiding behind Theresa, she noticed that the child showed no fear whatsoever, her expression was practically indifferent, and the way she looked at Theresa was very strange... kind of like Otto?

'Could it be a body swap...? If it's that guy Otto, it's very likely.' Chen Yuan secretly speculated. He knew Otto's methods well; swapping a soul steel body was a piece of cake for him.

If Otto really did switch bodies with Soul Steel, then this scene would make sense. Those men in black were probably actors hired by Otto, deliberately putting on a menacing appearance.

'But what does it have to do with me? They're all destined for greatness anyway, so a couple of blows shouldn't matter, right?' Thinking this, Chen Yuan gently patted Theresa's shoulder. "Go ahead, Theresa, and hand them over to the police while you're at it."

Theresa nodded upon hearing Chen Yuan's words. She turned to the men in black, assuming a fighting stance. "You vermin of society, I will definitely catch you all."

Seeing this, the men in black all took a few steps back. The leader, his face ashen, glanced at the blonde child pleadingly, but seeing she ignored him, he forced a smile and said, "Little brat, don't think you can scare me like this..."

Before he could finish speaking, Theresa appeared in front of him, her small fist striking the leader directly. With a muffled thud, the man in black curled up like a shrimp, his eyes slowly turning gray, and he lost consciousness.

Seeing this, the other men in black turned pale with fright, dropped their weapons, and scattered in all directions. Chen Yuan watched their retreating figures and sighed softly. "Useless, scared like this by a child."

If those men in black heard Chen Yuan's words, they would be furious. They were just ordinary researchers; how could they possibly withstand Theresa's punches?

It's worth noting that Theresa's first battle involved her directly punching a tank-class Honkai Beast to death. Had she not held back, not wanting to kill anyone, he would have been finished right there.

"Trying to run? Not so easy!" Theresa saw the men in black trying to escape and immediately gave chase. She was incredibly fast, catching up to one of the men in black in the blink of an eye. Her small fist, carrying destructive force, struck him directly in the back.

The man in black let out a muffled groan of pain, flying through the air and rolling a few times on the ground before finally coming to a stop. Theresa didn't stop, continuing her pursuit of the other men in black.

Before long, several unconscious men in black lay sprawled on the ground. The commotion also attracted a growing crowd of onlookers.
