Arknights, but keeping Terra in captivity

"Besides, if I really had a way to erase memories, why wouldn't I just eat you up first, make you utter the defeated knight's declaration of 'Guu... Kill me!', and then erase your memory?"

"When I have a good time, maybe you, Auntie, will thank me for keeping my promise."

"Oh, no, aunt, you have lost all your memory of that time."

"Oh, right. In that case, if I get greedy, I'll play with you. After that, I'll erase your memory. It'll be a new experience every time."

Sofia: "..."

Well, what a vicious method...

Zofia couldn't help but take a step back.

As innocent as she was, she hadn't expected that Chen Ran could play such a trick with just a memory eraser...

I was careless...

Sofia couldn't help but reflect in her heart and decided to be more careful with her words in the future.

But when Sofia finished reflecting and looked up, she found that Chen Ran was still poking her little head with his fingertips.

"You...what are you doing?"

Zofia couldn't help but ask.

"Oh, I'm just curious. I'm used to Rua's little platinum head. Although it feels good, it's obvious that the little platinum head lives a poor life and can't afford good shampoo, conditioner or anything like that, so it's actually a little rough to the touch."

Chen Ran didn't stop, poking Zofia's little head while saying, "But you're different, Auntie. Is it because you take good care of yourself? Your hair feels so soft and silky when it's rubbed. It even feels like a furry dog's head."

Sophia: "?"

No? What kind of a description is Rua dog head?

Are you praising me or insulting me?

But fortunately, after Chen Ran had satisfied his desire to touch her, he let Sofia go.

Although if Chen Ran doesn't let her go, Sofia will have no way to deal with it.

"But Auntie, are you really not going to make a deal with me like that little platinum from Sintreya?"

Chen Ran said, "Not only can I heal your left hand, but I can also make you the strongest in all of Terra. Even the Linguang family you've been thinking about so much can become the number one knight family again with your efforts."

"No... no need."

But Sofia still refused without hesitation.

"Oh, that's a shame."

Upon hearing this, Chen Ran sighed regretfully, "Originally, I was thinking that if your strength recovered, then when your niece Maria went to participate in some knight competition again, you would be able to rush over and grab Maria back to give her a spanking."

Sophia: "?"

Sophia can remain calm when it comes to things like reputation, strength, and status.

But when she heard Chen Ran mention her niece's name, her face changed immediately.

"Please wait!"

Sophia immediately shouted, "You just said...Maria...went to attend something?"

In the normal world line, Zofia's little niece, Maria.

In order to follow in the footsteps of her sister, the Knight of Glory Lin Guang, and to shoulder the responsibilities of the Lin Guang family...ah, of course, it was also to supplement some household expenses, because the Lin Guang family was really out of money and had to rely on selling furniture for a living.

In short, it was for these reasons that Maria resolutely signed up for the Knight Championship.

After hearing the news, Zofia in the normal world line was furious.

What is the Knights' Tournament? It is a commercial stage show jointly organized by the National Council and the Knights' Association.

And who is leading the National Council and the Knights' Association?

It's a business association.

The Radiant Knight Lin Guang won the Knight Competition Championship for 22 times, but was then persecuted by the Chamber of Commerce and expelled from the country.

Zofia made it to the round of 16, but was attacked from all sides, her left hand was disabled, her strength was reduced to only one tenth, and she had to withdraw from the competition.

After such a bloody lesson, is Maria still thinking of participating in the Ghost Knight Championship?

With the previous family dead, the current head missing, the uncle decadent, the aunt just a side branch, and the sister expelled from the country——

In the entire Linguang family, Maria is the only one who can be considered the heir.

In this situation, you are afraid that others will not know that if you, Maria, are killed, the Linguang family will completely collapse, right?

So it’s no wonder that Zofia in the normal world line would be mad.

Because even in this world line, after listening to Chen Ran's explanation of what happened, Zofia immediately stood up, went to find a feather duster, and prepared to enforce the family rules.

Chapter 218: As soon as I arrived, I saw Zofia beating Maria.

Even if the sky fell, there was someone to hold it up, so Xinteleya slept soundly that night.

Not only did I wake up naturally after a good sleep, but when I opened my eyes, I even found that the sun was already high in the sky.

There is definitely no breakfast to eat.

So Xinteleya simply took her time, turned over, checked her phone for a while, then looked up at the ceiling in a daze for a while. After lingering in bed for almost half an hour -

Only then did Xinteleya get up reluctantly.

Facing the early morning sun...er...the afternoon sun, Xinteleya got out of bed barefoot, drew aside the curtains, opened the window, and poked her little head out:

"Thanks to the kindhearted anonymous person who was so thoughtful as to close the windows tightly for me. The whole house was filled with the stench. I wonder how I didn't get suffocated."

"Are you planning to make smoked horse meat? But I haven't seen anyone smoke heather and seafood together, have I?"

"My previous eldest daughter was truly astonishingly wise. It's a good thing she didn't go into business. Otherwise, she might have lost everything in the long run, and soon, 'Zofia's Original Flavor' would be available on the market."

As always, Xinteleya spoke her mind in a tone that was almost flat and sarcastic.

Fortunately, after opening the window to get some fresh air, Xinteleya felt a little better. She finally had some free time to think and look down at the small garden downstairs.

Then at a glance, I saw Zofia beating her niece Maria.

"Wow, there's a show like this to watch right after getting up?"

Xinteleya immediately became interested.

"Right, I was thinking, if you don't wake up, Little Platinum, and miss such a great show, should I give you a Chen-style massage to wake you up?"

Chen Ran's voice also rang in her ears at this time: "Here, do you want some sunflower seeds?"

Naturally, Xinteleya didn't hesitate to take it and started eating it.

But after watching the excitement for a while, Xinteleya said again: "The melon seeds are a bit salty. Do you have anything to drink? I want to drink-"

"Give."

Chen Ran seemed to already know what Xinteleya wanted to say. He reached out and handed her another drink: "Freshly squeezed juice. I know you have other drinks. Little Platinum, you are going to mutter something about gaining weight again."

"How did you transform?"

Xinteleya took it and said, "Or did you get this glass of juice from my previous eldest daughter?"

"That's not the case. I squeezed it myself."

Chen Ran said.

"personally?"

Upon hearing this, Xinteleya glanced at the juice she had already drunk, then at Chen Ran's hands, and said, "Is this 'personally' a noun?"

"No, it's a verb."

Chen Ran used his hands to demonstrate the movements of pinching, gripping and squeezing.

"..."

Xinteleya was silent for a moment before she said, "Did you wash your hands last night?"

"At this point, Little Platinum, are you still worried about this?"

"Right."

Xinteleya no longer cared and just continued to eat melon seeds, drink juice, and watch the fun downstairs.

After watching for a while, Xinteleya finally asked what was going on: "So what happened to my previous eldest daughter? Why did she want to beat the child? Was her maternal love overflowing?"

"I told my aunt about some things in other world lines."

Chen Ran briefly recounted what happened last night.

Cintrea nodded in understanding. "So, 'Although that happened in another worldline and hasn't happened in this one yet, it doesn't stop me from beating you up and enforcing the family rules.'"

"Auntie is not the kind of unreasonable person."

Chen Ran waved his hand and said:

"My aunt first called her niece Maria over and said something earnestly to her, 'Don't be so foolish as to enter a knight's tournament.'"

"I told her niece about the dangers and the worst possible outcome."

"In order to let her niece know the seriousness of the matter, the aunt even exaggerated it a lot."

"and then?"

Xinteleiya just listened to the story.

"Then the aunt talked for a long time, but her niece Maria not only didn't understand her aunt's painstaking efforts, but her eyes lit up, as if she was saying, 'So there's such a good idea? Why didn't I think of it?'"

"People are like this. They can't be taught by people, but they can learn by things."

"No matter how clear the eyes of college students are, once they are beaten by society, they will all become like Sintelaiya."

"But as an elder, my aunt will definitely not let her niece be beaten by society. But this beating is necessary, so what should I do?"

"So my aunt decided to do it herself."

Xinteleya: "..."

I always feel that Maria’s beating was not unfair.

"Auntie! Auntie, I was really wrong! I was just possessed by the devil for a moment—ah! Don't spank me!"

"Also, more! Didn't the Commerce Federation collapse? Then it wouldn't be a big deal for me to participate in the Knights' Tournament... I was wrong, I was wrong! I was so wrong! It hurts!"

Looking at the cheerful scene of people chasing each other downstairs, Xinteleya, who had already finished her sunflower seeds, clapped her hands and said, "I'm done. Any more?"

"Yes, yes..."

Chen Ran had a lot of snacks in his hands, but he glanced at Xinteleya and said, "But Little Platinum, did you brush your teeth after getting up?"

……

……

……

Zofia's parenting philosophy isn't "a good son is made under the stick"...

But Sofia also felt that there seemed to be nothing wrong in giving her niece a beating.

So after chasing Maria all over the place and finally catching her, Zofia picked up a feather duster and spanked Maria on the butt.

After venting his anger, he left Maria alone in the small garden, leaving her to rub her butt with a bitter look on her face.

Sofia turned around and went back to the villa.

He took the towel from the servant and wiped the sweat off his face. After throwing it back, he told the servant that he didn't need to follow him closely today.

Sofia went back to her own room, took a shower, changed into clean clothes, went out, knocked on the door of Xinteleya's room next door, and then pushed the door open and walked in.

"Cintrea? Are you awake? If you are, I want to discuss something with you—"

As soon as she entered the room, Sofia saw Xinteleya sitting on the edge of the bed, with her little mouth open, enjoying Chen Ran's personal teeth brushing service.

Even Sofia was stunned.

Although she has a personal maid to help her bathe and change clothes...but it's not to the extent that she needs help even brushing her teeth, right?

"I'm talking about you..."

Sofia had a subtle expression on her face. She looked at Chen Ran's big hand and said, "Are you spoiling Xinteleya a little too much? Won't you spoil her?"
