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

"Mmm... I slept so well... But something feels off?" Kiana opened her eyes in the early morning, about to stretch, only to find her limbs completely bound by tentacles! "What are these things?!"

Kiana's scream shattered the morning's tranquility, waking the others who were still asleep.

Especially Chen Yuan, who frowned, turned over, and directly stretched out several symbiotes to cover Kiana's mouth.

"Kiana, what are you doing here?" Raiden Mei opened her eyes and saw Kiana lying next to her. She immediately sat up and looked at her seriously.

"Weren't you in the living room last night? Did you sneak up here by yourself? Kiana, that's not proper behavior."

"Besides, you can't sleep next to Mr. Chenyuan. That's not right. How can you be so casual? Even I'm doing this for the first time..."

Raiden Mei's voice grew softer and softer until it was almost inaudible. Bronya, on the other hand, was straightforward and decisive. She snapped her fingers, and Heavy Bunny appeared in the room, aiming its cannon at Kiana.

"You perverted idiot Kiana, just turn into dust in this world." Bronya glanced at Kiana contemptuously and waved her hand. "Heavy Bunny, fully armed, fire!"

"Ugh! Ugh! Ugh!" Seeing the Heavy Bunny's cannon begin to glow, Kiana became as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, tossing and turning on the bed!

"You're all so noisy so early in the morning, you're all so energetic~" Feeling the constant commotion around Kiana, Chen Yuan opened his eyes and looked at everyone speechlessly. "Alright, stop making a fuss, now that you're up, go wash your faces."

"And you, Kiana. Don't be so dramatic. You would have frozen to death last night without me." Retracting his tentacles, Chenyuan clapped his hands and jumped onto Raiden Mei's shoulder. "Pack your things, we'll probably be heading back this morning."

"Ah! So soon?" Upon hearing this, Seele immediately lowered her head, her large eyes filled with reluctance. "I only spent one day with Mr. Little, and Seele isn't satisfied yet..."

“That’s true. This time, I agree with what the crybaby said.” Xing crossed her arms and stood next to Xi’er. “Otherwise, Xi’er and I could join that St. Freya Academy. We’d be closer to the gods.”

"Which cute little girl wants to join our St. Freya Academy?" Just then, Theresa pushed open the door and walked in, followed by Himeko and Wendy.

When Xing saw Theresa push the door open and enter, she couldn't help but turn her head away and scoff, "Just pretend I didn't say anything. I just feel inexplicably annoyed looking at this headmaster."

As everyone knows, Apricot's eyes can see the truest form of the soul. In her eyes, Theresa is now filled with the aura of worldly affairs, just like Cocolia.

But this was precisely what annoyed her. Cocolia was one thing, given their special relationship. But this little one in front of her truly irritated her.

"Good morning, Mr. Chenyuan." Wendy squeezed through the doorway as soon as she saw Chenyuan sitting on Raiden Mei's shoulder. "How was your rest here last night?"

"It's Wendy. Good morning. I had a good rest here last night. Thank you for your concern." Chen Yuan extended a tentacle and touched Wendy's head. The latter subconsciously raised her head and rubbed against him.

"I mean, why is our group so weird?" Himeko looked at the beautiful girls in front of her, then reached out and lifted Chenyuan up. "You don't really want to build a harem in St. Freya, do you? Let me tell you, the silver party and all that..."

"There are children here!!! Stop spouting those lewd words!!!" Theresa jumped up and punched Himeko on the head. "You delusional bomb girl!!!"

Some time later, the members of Chenyuan parted ways with Xier and Xing, and boarded the warship back to St. Freya Academy. Of course, if you ignore the large bump on Himeko's head, the scene is relatively harmonious.

On the warship, Wendy looked at the small island where she had lived alone for quite some time, a hint of relief flashing in her eyes, and pulled Chen Yuan, who was sitting on her lap, closer to her.

"What's wrong, Wendy?" Chen Yuan didn't stand on ceremony, following Wendy's lead, using her soft belly as a pillow, and lay down. "Could it be that you're reluctant to leave this place? To be honest, the scenery is really quite beautiful,"

“How could that be, Mr. Chenyuan?” Wendy smiled, lowered her head, and secretly looked at Chenyuan. “It just feels like a dream. I was living there alone just a few days ago.”

"What's the big deal? Whether it's you, Theresa, or the Valkyries." Chen Yuan swayed and found a more comfortable position. "There are still many wonderful things in this world that you haven't experienced."

"This is what Headmistress Theresa often talks about: fighting for the good in the world." Wendy paused for a moment after hearing this, then chuckled softly, as if she had thought of something. "Does Mr. Chenyuan think the same way?"

"Well, who knows? Maybe it is, maybe it isn't." Chen Yuan opened his eyes and sat up from Wendy's lap. "If you are meant to protect this world, then protecting you is enough for me."

"That's all..."

Meanwhile, in Himeko's villa, in Fu Hua's room, Fu Hua was sitting on the bed with her eyes closed, trying to rest, but her brows were furrowed, and the voices in her mind made it impossible for her to calm down.

(Old timer, still meditating here? Master Chen has gone on vacation with Kiana and the others!! And you're just sitting here!!)

"That's not the case. Master Chen was just helping Kiana with her mission, not taking a vacation as you're saying." Fu Hua said this politely, but her previously open hand had somehow clenched into a tight fist.

(Bullshit! Didn't we see that little Theresa carrying her swimsuit out the door with our own eyes? You old fogey, have you gone mad from practicing kung fu?)

Fu Hua's expression changed slightly, but she did not refute it. She remained silent for a moment, then slowly opened her eyes, a complex emotion flashing in them. She stood up, walked to the window, and felt a strange anxiety welling up inside her.

Just then, a black feather suddenly appeared in front of Fu Hua's eyes. 'This is... Feather Dust?' Fu Hua held the feather in her palm, frowned, and then held it tightly.

The surrounding scenery seemed to be controlled by some mysterious force, undergoing a dramatic transformation at a visible speed. Fu Hua's room vanished without a trace in the blink of an eye, replaced by a vast and boundless valley.

Fu Hua paused for a moment, then took a deep breath. The fresh air, carrying the fragrance of grass and flowers, was invigorating and instantly relaxed her tense nerves. "Mount Taixu... I really miss it. So, who are you?"

Slowly turning around, Fu Hua saw a figure sitting in a pavilion in the distance, in an extremely unseemly posture, staring at her curiously from behind.

"Me? I am you! You old fogey!" The figure stood up and jumped from the pavilion to Fu Hua, bowing and looking up at the latter carefully. "Hmm~ No wonder Master Chen never takes you anywhere. You look really old-fashioned now."

Fu Hua was also observing her. She had long white hair that gradually turned black at the ends, tied in a low ponytail, with a strand of black hair on the right side of her bangs. On the left side of her head, she wore a metal horn-shaped headdress with a black and red feather that swayed like a flame.

That's right, this figure is none other than our beloved, flower-attracting, and car-flattening Xiao Shi! Let's shout, "Shi Men! The great Lawyer of Shi, Lady Shi, is three years old!!"

To be honest, aside from being a bit darker in color, having longer hair, and red pupils, they were exactly the same as me, as if they were carved from the same mold.

However, the aura emanating from them was completely different. Fu Hua clenched her fists, ready to attack at any moment. Xiao Shi sensed the hostility in the space, waved her hand, and jumped to the side.

"Hey! You old fogey, why are you trying to hit me the moment we meet! If you lay a finger on me, I'll go tell Master Chen you're bullying me!!"

"Master Chen doesn't know you exist. If he did, he would definitely make me eliminate you, Herrscher!" With her eyes narrowed, Fu Hua was in front of Xiao Shi the next second after assuming an attack stance.

"Old fogey, you're really going to do it?!" Seeing Fu Hua rushing over, Xiao Shi didn't hold back. He grabbed Fu Hua's arm and with a swift move, flung him aside.

Fu Hua's body traced an arc in the air before landing steadily. He then threw another punch at Xiao Shi's face, but Xiao Shi dodged it with a sidestep and immediately countered with a palm strike to Fu Hua's chest.

Fu Hua swayed, crossed her arms in front of her chest, and with a 'bang', a muffled sound was heard, and the two were each knocked back several steps.

"Old fogey, I already said I don't want to fight, but since you want to fight, I'll play along!!" Xiao Shi said, his figure blurred, and he instantly appeared to Fu Hua's side, raising his knee and hitting Fu Hua's chest directly.

Fu Hua winced in pain and staggered back several steps, but quickly regained his balance and charged at Xiao Shi again. Xiao Shi smiled and calmly dodged to the side, grabbing Fu Hua's arm and forcefully shaking him off.

Fu Hua snorted coldly, swung around in the air following Xiao Shi's momentum, and then kicked Xiao Shi hard in the stomach. Xiao Shi groaned, released his grip on Fu Hua, and took a few steps back.

In the previous clash, Fu Hua had the upper hand, but Xiao Shi's fighting strength was not to be underestimated, and the two were evenly matched for a time.

"Oh, alright, alright! Let's stop fighting! Aren't you tired?" Xiao Shi put away her stance and casually sat down on the ground. "If it were me, Master Chen would definitely take me with him wherever he goes. You old fogey, you're so boring!"
