Padofelis, lying in the grass, suddenly had a brilliant idea.

Crystalline tears kept welling up in her eyes.

"Waaaaah..."

Padoflis threw herself into the arms of the fairy Ellie, burying her face in her hands and sobbing. She even secretly observed Xia Yuan's reaction, sticking out her little tongue at him and making a playful face.

She didn't say anything, but her crying was Padofilis's best weapon at that moment.

"Good girl~ Little Paddy, okay, okay, stop crying. Cute fairies can't stand seeing others cry."

Fairy Ellie patted Padofelis on the shoulder to comfort her.

He then looked at Xia Yuan.

"Xia Yuan, there's no need to explain. As punishment for making Xiao Paduo cry, go to Aponia to repent!"

Xia Yuan's eyes gradually became unable to open, and his vision began to blur.

Fairy Airi gently placed the unconscious Xia Yuan on the grass.

He then looked at Padofelis.

"Little Pado, hurry up and hand over Xia Yuan's indenture."

"Huh? Sister Aili, you already found out? Then why did you still send Xia Yuan to find Sister Nia..."

Padoflis handed the partnership agreement to the fairy Ellie with some embarrassment.

The clever Patophis, of course, gave the fairy Airi the backup she had just prepared!

"I have to thank you, Little Padma! Such a great opportunity should definitely be given to let Xia Yuan meet everyone from the Paradise of the Past!"

Xia Yuan, who had been sleeping, awoke in complete darkness.

[As punishment for making Xiao Xia Yuan cry, please follow the arrows and head towards the deepest part of Paradise.]

【↑】

Before Xia Yuan could make a move, a clear, ethereal voice came from the depths.

"Ah, stranger, you carry a scent I long for. Please come to me and let me take a good look at you."

Xia Yuan's body began to move beyond his control, heading deeper into the depths.

"The Aponia Commandments are so convenient; I don't even need to control my body when I walk anymore!"

Xia Yuan couldn't help but sigh.

Xia Yuan walked tirelessly through the pitch-black surroundings.

It felt like an eternity had passed...

A huge cage appeared in front of Xia Yuan.

Aponia was kneeling inside the cage, her hands clasped together in silent prayer.

Xia Yuan and Aponia looked at each other through the cage.

Chapter Eighteen: Please punish me!

"Oh, I see..."

Aponia murmured.

"So that's how it is... It's really easy to communicate with Aponia. I don't even need to say anything. She understands what I'm thinking, and she even understands me better than I understand myself."

"Xia Yuan, I'm so sorry, I didn't expect Ai Li to bring us together like this..."

Welcome to the deepest part of the Pure Land of Past Lives. However, with all due respect, you are the first person I've encountered who doesn't feel aversion towards the power of discipline. On the contrary, I see only curiosity in your eyes…”

Aponia said softly.

"Come on, not having to control your own body to walk, and being able to see other people's inner thoughts, is that super cool!"

This tells us what Fairy Ellie and her boss Bronya are thinking all day long. But Bronya's thoughts are easy to guess; it's always "Homu, my Homu, come to my side!"

Aponia covered her mouth and chuckled, "You are truly an interesting person."

Xia Yuan nodded in complete agreement.

【Pah! Little Xia Yuan, stop being so vain! Quickly repent to Nia for your crimes, or the adorable fairy will have to take coercive measures!】

offense......

What crime did I commit?

Does it count if I draw circles on Ellie's little face with a marker while she's asleep?

Xia Yuan was silent for a while before speaking: "Sister, I am guilty. I should not have secretly drawn on Fairy Ellie's face while she was sleeping, and I should not have made a vow that Fairy Ellie would not be able to eat the sandwiches I make for a month... Please forgive my sins, Sister."

【Oh, Xia Yuan, you've secretly done so many bad things behind my back! The worst part is you didn't let me eat your sandwiches for a whole month! That's outrageous! I'm going to get Aponia to punish you properly!】

Please choose any one of the following options.

[A. I am guilty, please step on my body, nun, to cleanse my soul]

【B. What crime have I committed? Please, Sister, let me go back.】

[C. I deserve it, Sister, please trample on me mercilessly!]

[I have already made choice C for Xia Yuan]

Aponia seemed to sense Xia Yuan's thoughts and slowly said, "Mr. Xia Yuan... are you... sure you really want to do that?"

If this is a joke by Ellie, please let me know and I will send you back to where you were.

Xia Yuan shook his head and solemnly said to Aponia, "No, Sister, I did it voluntarily. Please let me accept the punishment, please."

"Since that's the case, then so be it. But... why do I sense a strange emotion emanating from deep within you... excitement, or perhaps anticipation?"

Aponia asked somewhat uncertainly.

"No, that must be your imagination, Sister. Please, Sister, cleanse my mind and body."

Xia Yuan answered sincerely.

"Mr. Xia Yuan, please wait a moment."

Xia Yuan closed his eyes tightly, anticipating the arrival of the nun's reward... punishment.

The punishment had not yet arrived, but a pair of warm hands gently lifted Xia Yuan's hands and placed an exquisitely crafted statue in his palms.

“Mr. Xia Yuan, welcome to the deepest part of the Paradise of the Past. This is a small gift I have prepared for you. Please accept it.”

Handmade Sculpture

[Meticulously crafted by Aponia, usable in Honkai Impact 3rd]

Since destiny exists above cause and effect, then let me become destiny itself.

Xia Yuan didn't know what the statue was for, but he was sure it was something good.

"Thank you for your kindness, Sister."

Xia Yuan put the statue in his pocket, thinking that when he returned to the Deepest Abyss, he would bring back some gifts for Aponia as well.

"So, Mr. Xia Yuan, are you really sure you're prepared to accept punishment?"

The enormous cage suddenly opened.

Aponia looked down at Xia Yuan, who was already lying down.

Just as Aponia was about to step on Xia Yuan, Xia Yuan suddenly disappeared as if he had never been there.

“Aili...you’ve tricked both Mr. Xia Yuan and me this time.”

Aponia chuckled softly, silently returned to her cage, and quietly prayed.

After plunging into darkness again....

Xia Yuan only felt a slight itch around his nose.

He couldn't help but wave his hand.

Padoflis was lying on the grass, waving a blade of grass against Xia Yuan's cheek.

"A Qiu—!"

Xia Yuan opened his eyes and stared at Padoflis beside him with a very resentful look.

I was just one step away from my reward...

"Hey, Xia Yuan, missed me?"

Padofelis imitated Alice, greeting Xia Yuan with a grin.

"No, Paddo, don't disturb me, I want to go back to sleep!"

Xia Yuan rolled over, facing the grass. He wanted to return to the deepest part of the paradise of the past and let the nun continue the punishment that was not yet finished.

"Xia Yuan, wake up! Turn over and look at the beautiful rainbow in the sky!"

Seeing that Xia Yuan did not respond for a long time, the fairy Ellie and Padofelis looked at each other.

"One, two, three, lift!"

With the combined efforts of Fairy Airi, Padofelis, Ai-chan, and Canned Food, Xia Yuan was turned over.

The soft, warm sunlight shone on Xia Yuan.

A gentle breeze blew through Xia Yuan's curly hair.

Xia Yuan slowly opened his eyes.

When the thunder subsided and the downpour stopped...

What came into view was a faint rainbow in the sky.

"Xia Yuan, that rainbow in the sky is beautiful, isn't it?"

Fairy Ellie rested her head on Xia Yuan's arm and pointed to the rainbow in the sky, speaking softly.

"Boss~ Even the most beautiful rainbow can't compare to half the beauty of your smile."

Ai-chan praised from the side.

"Oh, Ai-chan speaks so sweetly. Here, I'll give you this pink crystal that's the same size as Xia Yuan's."

"Thank you, boss!"

When Ai-chan saw the crystal, her eyes sparkled, and she kept rubbing against it.

Upon seeing the crystal, Padofelis's eyes suddenly turned like a cat's, and she quickly went to the fairy Ellie and began to recite a poem with deep emotion.

"Ah~ Sister Aili... to us, you are so..."

As Padofelis recited the words, her little hand had already reached out to the fairy Ellie on its own.

The tiny hand presented before my eyes seemed to be saying:

"Hehe, Sister Aili...you know what I mean, right~"

Fairy Ellie smiled and placed the can of food in Padofelis's palm.

"I don't understand what Little Paddo means at all~ What could Airi possibly have to do with a cute fairy?"

Chapter Nineteen: Ride, Krishna!

The fairy Ellie winked at Padofelis with a slightly mischievous grin.

"Huh?! How come the canned food is in my hand? Where's my sparkly crystal?"

Padofelis casually tossed the can into the air.

"Meow!"

The angry cans fell from the sky.

"Hey, canned food, stop scratching my face!"

The two wrestled on the grass.

Xia Yuan and the fairy Ai Li looked at each other and then smiled at each other.

"Little Padma is truly everyone's source of joy, spreading happiness. Little Xia Yuan, wouldn't you like to praise me too? There are pink crystals to collect!"

Xia Yuan seemed to have thought of something, and said in a deep voice:
