Bad woman, join the hunt tonight

After Lihua's unremitting efforts over the years, she finally promoted the recipes of some later foods in medieval Europe. The restaurant's menu has been enriched a lot and is barely to Lihua's taste.

In fact, the owner of the restaurant where Lihua works now is one of the people she has helped out over the years. It was Lihua who taught him how to make dim sum herself. This poor man who was unable to help his seriously ill wife has now successfully lived a good life with this skill.

"But Europeans really like sweet food. After all these years, I'm still a little uncomfortable with it. It's too sweet..."

After taking a bite of the slightly greasy macaron, Lihua looked at the diners enjoying the food and shook her head helplessly. Although it was inevitable to change it according to local tastes, Lihua grew up in Dragon Country on Earth after all, and she still didn't like things that were too sweet.

But as long as the business is doing well, I believe the current boss should be very satisfied with his peaceful life, right?

A peaceful life is the best.

"Master Priest! Please, give me a few more days... just a few days..."

The commotion on the street corner attracted Lihua's attention. The common scene of bullying made Lihua shake her head helplessly.

In such an era, no matter how hard the charity associations try, the number of people who can be helped to escape from suffering and live a peaceful life is still a minority.

Unless this old world is smashed to pieces.

Lihua stood up helplessly. Since she had seen such a thing, she should do something about it.

At the corner of the street, a priest with several guards was pulling and tugging at a young woman with a little girl.

Even though the young woman had already knelt on the ground and begged with tears on her face, the priest still did not show any sign of restraint. He still had that evil smile on his face that anyone who saw it could see clearly: "Grace? Your husband committed a crime when he was alive. You must buy indulgences to atone for his sins! Someone must pay for his mistakes!"

"or......"

The priest with a neatly combed mustache looked at the girl in the young woman's arms with a lewd look: "Let Sasha come to the church to work for us for a while, so that your husband can atone for his sins."

As he spoke, he had already grabbed the girl's arm and pulled her into his arms, ignoring the girl's horrified look.

Seeing her daughter was in danger, the desperate mother could not snatch the priest away, and finally could only open her mouth and bite his hand hard. Then, when the priest withdrew his hand in pain, she quickly protected her daughter in her arms.

“You crazy woman—!!”

The priest was instantly furious at the humiliation of being bitten by a lowly commoner. He swung his hand and tried to slap the young woman in the face, but was firmly grasped by a slender arm halfway.

"Lord Victor, what a great authority you have!"

Lihua looked at the priest named Victor with a smile, and slowly increased the strength in her hands: "Beating a woman in public, this kind of thing seems to be a disgrace to the reputation of the missionary, right?"

Even if Lihua was weak, she was still Kaslana, and her strength was much greater than that of Victor, who was hollowed out by alcohol and sex. Under her secret force, Victor felt that his wrist was about to be crushed, and his expression was distorted because of the pain.

The young woman who was protected by Lihua, after seeing Lihua, was like seeing a savior, and her eyes lit up again: "Lady Lihua!!"

"If I remember correctly, the indulgences for this block were collected two weeks ago, and Tianming has no plans to collect them again recently..."

Lihua circled around Victor and looked at him, and Victor had to stick his butt out and follow her because of the pain in his wrist, which looked quite funny.

"Who asked for Lord Victor's indulgence?"

"This this......"

Victor's forehead was immediately covered with cold sweat. Although the higher-ups did require that the money be collected once a month, it was already a tacit understanding of Tianming that the money was increased layer by layer. He collected extra money every month. 20% of it belonged to himself, and 80% was given as a gift to the higher-ups. Therefore, Tianming's so-called Supervisory Committee also turned a blind eye to him.

But it is impossible to say such things in front of so many onlookers, otherwise the higher-ups will definitely distance themselves from him immediately and make an example of him.

After all, the person in front of you is Lihua Kaslana. Although she doesn't seem to have any real power, everyone in the world knows that you must not mess with her. If she knows that you have any evidence of a crime, she will definitely not be so-called "reasonable" and will directly send you to the court of trial.

In addition, she has those two people protecting her. Once she is sent to the court of trial, her life will basically be over.

"Or are you, Father Victor, amassing wealth privately?"

Feeling Lihua's scrutinizing gaze, Victor didn't dare to hesitate any longer. He knelt down and looked at Lihua humbly.

"I, I, I'm sorry, I seem to have remembered the wrong time! I have indeed received it, I have indeed received it..."

"In that case, I hope you, Pastor Victor, will pay more attention in the future."

Seeing that Victor had given in, Lihua didn't want to argue with him anymore and let go of his hand.

If it were any other time, this matter would definitely not end so easily, but after all, I am about to start making trouble, so it is better not to be so ostentatious at this critical moment.

"Return the extra money within today, or we will probably see you in court."

"Yes, yes! Thank you!"

Seeing Victor fleeing, Lihua shook her head and helped the mother and daughter up from the ground: "Are you okay?"

"We are fine, thank you, Lady Lihua! You saved us this time too..."

The grateful young woman wiped her tears and hugged her daughter tightly: "If it weren't for you, Sasha..."

Looking at the girl who was still in shock, Lihua reached out and rubbed her head: "Don't be afraid, good days will come sooner or later, and then everyone will be able to live a peaceful life."

"Here, these flowers are for you..."

Although she was still afraid, Lihua's gentle gaze seemed to restore the girl's courage. She ran back to her flower shop and came out with a flower. She mustered up the courage to hand it to Lihua: "I planted this myself... Thank you!"

"Then I'm not welcome~"

Lihua took the white hydrangea surrounded by countless small flowers, and then watched the girl and the young woman return home.

"It's beautiful, right?" Lihua suddenly asked.

And behind her there was a steady voice, smiling and answering: "Yes, and the flower language also suits you very well."

"Flower language?"

Lihua looked at the hydrangea in her hand. The only flower language she knew was probably that rose means "I love you."

Forget it, this kind of thing is irrelevant now. Lihua turned around and looked at Otto helplessly: "Since you are here, why don't you just go and drive that guy away? Why do you have to let me do this?"

"I just arrived too." Otto said with a smile.

What a joke! How could I disturb Lihua’s heroic appearance?

"I took it seriously."

Lihua couldn't do anything about the shameless Otto, so she could only turn around and lead the way again: "Anyway, let's talk somewhere safer."

Volume 26 Ideals Disappear in Collapse: Chapter Chapter Rejection

"..."

In Lihua's secret base, after listening to her plan, Otto fell silent.

"Lihua, are you going to... rebel against fate?"

“It’s not about rebelling against destiny, it’s about creating a better destiny.”

Hearing Otto's slander, Lihua stood up and paced around the room: "As everyone knows, now the Mandate of Heaven is ruled by treacherous officials, who levy heavy taxes and oppress the people, and the people are living in misery!"

"Lihua, why do you talk like someone from China?" Otto couldn't help laughing at Lihua's pretentious manner, and as expected, he received a reproachful look from the other party.

"Don't interrupt!"

"So for the sake of destiny, for the sake of the people, and for the sake of the whole world, we should get rid of all these parasites of destiny!"

Lihua clenched her fists and said, "We need to find a way to gather those bad guys together, and then smash the cup as a signal, and then 800 swordsmen will rush out from both sides to kill them all. From then on, the world will be peaceful."

"Has anyone from the higher-ups offended you recently?"

In Lihua's confused eyes, Otto suddenly spoke.

"No, why are you asking this?" Lihua was completely confused.

Otto just chuckled: "I thought someone had pissed off our Lihua, so I was going to teach them a lesson."

Good man, it turns out that this guy thinks he wants to eliminate some people in Tianming just because he is angry!

Can this be tolerated? !

"Hey, don't treat me like a child. I'm one year older than you!"

Lihua rushed to Otto angrily and decided to express her condemnation with her angry eyes.

However, when Otto stood up from the chair, Lihua suddenly realized - damn, why is this guy so tall? !

Wasn't he just a little kid who always followed me? How come he suddenly grew taller than me?!

Otto found it funny to see Lihua's face showing unconcealable shock.

Lihua is indeed one year older than me, and since girls develop faster than boys when they are young, she has always looked taller than me. She usually pretends to take care of me like an older sister.

But now everyone is an adult, and she is already 24 years old, having long surpassed Lihua. She is probably still subconsciously thinking of herself as the child following behind him, needing her protection and guidance everywhere.

Times have changed, Lihua, and now it is me who should protect you.

After all, you have been like a child for a long time and have not changed until now.

Otto felt a headache when he thought about what Lihua usually did.

Always pretending to be injured or sick in front of me to attract my attention, isn't it just like those children who want to pretend to be sick to attract the attention of people around them?

In other matters, if it weren't for her own financial support, her hospital and association would not be able to continue. Not to mention the things she did, such as cursing at the messengers sent by the higher-ups, or bringing all the white gloves who had inextricable ties with the big shots to the court of justice.

If I hadn't been protecting her from behind, Lihua would have... Haha, Otto would not tell her these things. After all, Lihua once said that I was her hero. Isn't it natural for a hero to protect a princess?

But at the same time, the hero cannot just watch the princess take risks.

Otto let Lihua do whatever she wanted in daily matters and did not interfere, because he was confident that he could protect Lihua.

But what she was about to do now was too dangerous, going against destiny - Otto felt that Lihua might not even know what this meant.

Not to mention anything else, just talk about the box that she is about to complete her research. With the help of the Honkai energy weapons made from that box, she might be able to easily destroy half of the city. This kind of power is simply not something that Lihua's secret Valkyrie team can resist.

If all the plans went smoothly, it would be fine, but if any accident happened during the process, Lihua might die. Therefore, in this case, Otto would never let Lihua play with fire.

Don't worry, Lihua. Since you like those commoners, I will make sure things develop as you expect. I will get rid of those termites in Destiny sooner or later. Now just give me some more time until I can completely control Destiny.

And now, please be patient for a while.

"No, Lihua."

Otto stood up and looked down at Lihua, who was much shorter than him: "This kind of thing is not a joke, so I won't agree to it."

Gu, I originally thought that Otto would definitely agree to something that would benefit him... But now it seems that I am not Kallen, so there is really no way to persuade him to take the risk?

Then try to pull off Kallen's tiger skin?

Do it when you think of it. Lihua said: "But the people are suffering. If Kallen knew about this, she would definitely -"

"She will definitely reject you," Otto said without hesitation.

Yes, Kallen is indeed a Kaslana who values ​​the people, but this is on the premise that it does not conflict with what is most important to her.

She is not you, Lihua. Not everyone in the world is as selfless as you. We always care more about the people who are important to us.

Although he was reluctant to admit it, Kallen at least placed Lihua in the most important position in her heart, just like Otto.

Especially after the time when Lihua was almost killed by the Red Tomb Sage and Kallen was powerless to do anything, her mentality changed even more.

The current Kallen is essentially no different from himself, except that he wants to climb high enough to protect Lihua with power, while Kallen wants to become strong enough to protect her with strength.

He would do anything to climb higher, while Kallen would do anything to become stronger.

The research on the box was extremely dangerous and could even bring misfortune to the entire human race. Kallen had known that she and Tianming were secretly researching it, but in the end she did not take any action to stop it.

Because if she can successfully use this box to develop new weapons, then she will be able to become stronger and better protect Lihua.

Kallen is willing to take risks personally to protect the people, but she will never allow it if it means Lihua will be in danger.

"Then I'll think of a solution myself..."

Looking at Otto's determined eyes, Lihua also knew that there was probably no room for maneuver this time.

Or maybe she thought too highly of her own status and thought that Otto would help her as a friend.

Come to think of it, what I'm about to do is equivalent to rebellion. There's no reason for Otto, who is in a high position, to risk his life with me.

"Goodbye, Otto..."

Looking at Lihua's disappointed back as she left, Otto even wanted to call him for a moment, but his reason finally controlled him.

It's for her own good.

As long as a short period of time passes and the new Honkai weapons are fully developed, no one else will be able to shake his contribution and status in the Destiny. Even his father will not stop him from becoming the next Bishop of the Destiny.

Don't worry, Lihua, when I become the archbishop, I will make everything you want come true.

"Lady Lihua, how is the situation going?"
