Xyrin Empire

Chapter 94: Chapter 94: Only Lolis are Good in the World

The girls’ giggles and laughter didn’t stop even after we returned to the palace arranged for us by Agna.

“Ah Jun, do you think that Tosca will die of shame tonight?”

As the first to act and the genius prankster who instantly stripped Tosca to his birthday suit, Qianqian’s creativity was highly praised by the other girls, and it was obvious that she was quite pleased with herself.

“I hope he’ll be a bit stronger,” my sister said in her usual gentle tone, which was not gentle at all, “at least he should hold out until tomorrow’s duel to bring us more fun, right?”

“You all seem to be having a lot of fun…”

Lin Xue, whose ability was entirely unsuited for pranking, spoke in frustration—I should thank God for that, thankfully this girl’s abilities are prediction and perception, otherwise, how many unfortunate victims would there be in this world!

...

At that moment, I suddenly heard a whooshing sound from ahead, and a small white figure rushed at me like a bolt of lightning!

Qianqian and the others had seen such scenes several times and had grown accustomed to it; they made eye contact and silently moved back two steps.

“Bang—”

After a loud noise, I staggered back several steps from the violent impact and almost toppled over, but fortunately, after adjusting the balance of my body with super-efficient muscle control, I managed to avoid falling at the last moment. Catching my breath, I finally recovered from the breathlessness caused by the collision and looked down to see an extremely cute little girl in a white dress hugging my neck with her slender, pale little hands. Little Baobao was narrowing her eyes slightly, rubbing her little face against my chest, and making indistinct cute noises with her mouth.

This was the Xyrin Empire’s latest model of super weapon, with infinite killing power against all kinds of homebody creatures like otakus and fujoshis, the new generation of biocybernetic human bombs that could make the target willingly accept the attack—Little Baobao Ultimate Mortal World Cannon, Simplified Chinese exclusive edition!

By the way, the last version description was something I had just decided on a few seconds ago.

While maintaining my posture of being knocked backward, I gently stroked her little head with one hand. Although I would always be knocked flying and even scrape along the ground for several meters, now, after several familiarizations and continuous training, I had developed the ability to withstand Little Baobao’s Mortal World Cannon and stand firm…

“Yah—”

A sharp cry came from the front, growing louder as it approached. I looked up to see a small green figure streaking across the sky towards my face.

It appeared! The advanced evolution form of Little Baobao’s Mortal World Cannon—Dingdang’s double-strike combo!

With a slap, the creature named Dingdang landed squarely on my face, adding the final straw to an already destabilized unlucky gentleman.

Boom, the Emperor fell backward.

“Hey, hey, hey! Little one, are you a dog or something? Don’t bite! Don’t bite! Isn’t it enough that I admit my mistake? I promise to take you out next time, isn’t that enough?”

Suddenly, Little Baobao, who had fallen with me, snapped out of her cuddling mode. She wasn’t scared at all by the sudden loss of balance but raised her head curiously to watch Dingdang, who was mischievously biting and poking around on my face. Then, she suddenly gave a joyous shout and opened her little mouth to reveal a pair of sharp Little Tiger Teeth.

“Stop—”

Seeing the eager look on Little Baobao’s face, I shouted in a cold sweat.

Xyrin Angels were physically strong in all aspects. Sandora could munch and swallow stainless steel cutlery like it was nothing; although Little Baobao was underage, she definitely had the ability to deliver a fatal blow to me.

I picked up Dingdang and set her aside, then hugged Little Baobao, who still refused to leave, and struggled to stand up, causing all my joints to crackle and pop.

What a thrilling welcome ceremony, indeed.

“Miss Dingdang and the Monarch seem to have a great relationship,” Alaya said, coming up beside us at some point, watching Dingdang play about on top of my head with envy. She then looked at Little Baobao, who was still cuddling against me, with the same envious eyes, “Little Baobao too…”

…Have you forgotten who it is that brushes your feathers every day? @@novelbin@@

“All right, all right,” I clapped my hands to quiet everyone down while glaring vehemently at Lin Xue, who was revelling in schadenfreude on the sidelines, “I brought gifts back!”

The word “gifts” immediately attracted the attention of everyone present; the girls who stayed at home were curious about what gifts I had brought back, while Qianqian and the others who had helped me pick gifts wanted to see if their chosen gifts would be well-received.

“First off, for our Little Goddess—no more mischief or you won’t get yours!”

I decided to appease the most restless little thing first. After Dingdang calmed down and hovered in front of me with eyes full of anticipation, I proudly pulled out the gift prepared for her—a lollipop.

I had thought such an inconspicuous gift would disappoint Dingdang, but to my surprise, the little thing immediately cheered and pounced on me.

What an easily satisfied little creature she is; it seems that just about anything can make this Little One happy for half a day— or perhaps she doesn’t care about the gift itself, only that it’s a “gift”?

I felt like I had entered a delicate state where I was contemplating the values of the Divine Race…

“Little one, there’s more.”

I rubbed Dingdang’s small head with my finger, then with a casual wave of my hand, a “mountain” giving off a rich, sweet scent suddenly appeared in the yard!

The gift prepared for Dingdang was definitely not the most expensive, but it was certainly the one we put the most thought into.

Because it took us almost half a day to buy almost every kind of candy and sweet treat in Leidun City!

Given Dingdang’s size, these sweets would be enough to last her for decades.

Before, I never imagined that there could be so many types of desserts in the world, nor did I expect that the Otherworld, which I previously thought to be a place of scarce material life and simple living, actually has so many snacks. After our candy store looting spree, we prepared a mountain-like pile of desserts for Dingdang! Just listing the names would take me three days and three nights to memorize!

…Who was questioning my memory just now?!

Little Thing was clearly shocked by the snacks in front of her, enough to last her decades. She hung in the air, mouth agape at its widest, then suddenly let out a scream of extreme excitement. All I saw was a streak of green light flash before my eyes, and Dingdang’s figure was gone. Then from within the mountain of sweets behind me, I heard Dingdang’s joyous cheers: “Hooray! Hooray! Ah Jun, hooray! Candy, hooray!”

…Such a curious ability to form sentences.

“Little Baobao, this is for you.”

I smiled and poked Little Baobao, who had been staring at me with her loli-exclusive starry eyes for a while, and then took out a small angel sculpture made of transparent crystal.

Perhaps because she was born in a crystal Mother Nest, Little Baobao loved collecting all sorts of shiny objects, especially crystal items, which could make her exceedingly happy. I even started to wonder if this little one secretly harbored the soul of a Giant Dragon deep inside.

Indeed, upon seeing the shiny crystal sculpture I took out, Little Baobao immediately let go of my leg, which she had been hugging tightly, and with a joyous shout, she grabbed it and dashed back to her room. Then, under the bewildered gaze of everyone, she quickly ran back out, tugging on my arm to get me to bend down. Before I could react, the little girl gently pressed a tender kiss onto my face…

Lolis truly are the best!

At this moment, with complex meanings in the surrounding gazes, I was moved to tears.

“Alaya, come here.”

I beckoned the Angel Sister, who was quietly standing by, to come closer, and then took out the third gift.

A brush…

A luxurious oval-shaped brush, made of valuable crystal and Demon Shark cartilage, gleaming white. Analyzing the brush’s lavishness, then glancing at its size and shape, most people would never guess what this brush could be used for.

This brush, which cost countless Gold Coins and caused four skilled jewelers to work at breakneck pace to finish within an hour, was perfect for grooming the fluffy undersides of Alaya’s wings.

Though Alaya’s wings were partially formed by energy, they still had the feel of a solid body, and a brush that could provide both massage and cleaning functions was sure to make Alaya happy for half the day.

…Yet why do I always feel this gift is full of points for teasing?

Despite the gift seeming strange to ordinary folks, Alaya seemed to like it very much, seeing how she happily stored the brush away before I moved on to the last target.

From the beginning, Pandora had been standing quietly not far from us, her nature such that she couldn’t make an action like Little Baobao or Dingdang’s leaping up. However, I could still read a trace of joy and anticipation for the gift in her almost unchanging expression.

One day this girl will train me to have a Perception even better than an Ace Spy’s.

“This is for my precious little sister.”

I bent down, smiling as I patted Pandora’s small head, then took out a small blue hair clip. Upon hearing the words “precious little sister,” her face rapidly flushed with an inconspicuous rosy hue, but when she saw the blue hair clip in my hand, a hint of confusion crossed her eyes.

“I know you’d be happier if I bought you a set of books on war theory, but still, I think those kinds of gifts are a bit too strange…”

The image of Pandora poring over thick tomes of war theory into the late night had barely arisen before I unhesitatingly cast it out of my mind.

Indeed, it’s better to nurture Pandora into a normal girl as much as possible.

After staring blankly for a while, Pandora suddenly showed an unprecedented sweet smile, took the hair clip from my hand, and said happily, “I like whatever brother gives me…” then, tiptoeing gently, she imitated Little Baobao and pressed a kiss onto my face, while I also faintly heard mutterings like “I can’t lose to that little girl”…

Though I’ve said it before, I need to emphasize it once again: Lolis really are the best!
