Qiu Bi glanced at Lady Hilfaria and said with a hint of helplessness, "Lady Hilfaria, please don't say things that are so easy to misunderstand."
"Hmph~"
Lady Hilfalia smiled slightly, offering no explanation.
Raiden Mei and Yae Sakura walked on either side of Qiu Bi, while Lady Sylvanas walked behind the group, her beautiful eyes fixed on Qiu Bi, which made Qiu Bi feel a little uncomfortable.
Before long, the group arrived at the second-floor hall. Before they even reached the dining table, Luna's voice could be heard.
"How have you all been resting lately? You should be getting used to life at Misty Sea Manor, right?"
Luna remained gazing out the window, not immediately turning to look at Qiu Bi and the others.
Raiden Mei and Yae Sakura hesitated, seemingly wanting to remind Luna, but were stopped by Lady Sylpharia.
Qiu Bi glanced at Lady Hilfaria with surprise, then replied, "Yes, life at Fogsea Manor is very peaceful."
"Now that you can get used to life on the manor, I am relieved."
As soon as she finished speaking, Luna sighed and then turned to look at Qiu Bi and the others.
When she saw Lady Hilfalia smiling slightly, she froze on the spot.
"Mother, Mother... Is it really you? I... I can't be mistaken, can I?"
“You are not mistaken, I am indeed your mother—Luna. You are already capable of standing on your own.”
"Mother... Mother, I really miss you!"
Luna walked blankly toward Lady Silvaria. Although she had long imagined the scene of their reunion, when it actually happened, she was at a loss and did not know how to face Lady Silvaria.
Lady Silvaria used to float around Luna, but Luna couldn't see Lady Silvaria as a "ghost," only occasionally catching a glimpse of her.
Therefore, Lady Hilfalia will not feel much discomfort and can treat Luna with the same normal attitude as always.
"Luna, I miss you too."
As she spoke, Lady Hilfalia lightly touched the ground with her toes and appeared in front of Luna in the next moment, gently embracing her.
Feeling the long-awaited embrace, Luna's eyes had unknowingly become moist.
Then, glistening tears welled up in her eyes, but before they could slide down her cheeks, they were wiped away by a finger.
"Luna, you are already a grown-up who can stand on your own, so don't cry so easily."
"Of course I know, I was just too excited!"
Luna's stubborn rebuttal only elicited a soft, indulgent laugh from Lady Hilfaria.
Then, as if she had remembered something, she leaned close to Luna's ear and whispered, "Luna, that gentleman will be the 'master' of Fogsea Manor from now on. If you don't mind... you can try calling him 'father'."
Luna: ? ? ?
Father……
What does it mean?
Luna knew, of course, that the "sir" Lady Hilfaria referred to was Qiu Bi, but she couldn't understand why Qiu Bi had suddenly changed from a "guest" to the "master of the house" overnight.
Lady Hilfalia noticed Luna's confusion and explained, "If it weren't for your help in restoring my physical form, I would still be in a state of 'ghost'."
"Wait... a ghost?" Luna paused, then keenly noticed the "blind spot." "Mother, do you mean... all the 'ghosts' I saw before were you?"
“That’s right. I always linger by your side for a long time, but you can never see me.”
"Oh, I see... So that's how it is..."
Luna murmured in a daze, her gaze towards Qiu Bi quite complicated, which made the clueless Qiu Bi feel puzzled.
Lady Hilfalia then released Luna and invited everyone to sit down.
However, the seating arrangements have now undergone a complete transformation.
At Lady Hilfaria's insistence, Qiu Bi sat in the "main seat," while Lady Hilfaria and Yae Sakura sat on either side of Qiu Bi.
Qiu Bi had extensive experience with this, so he didn't feel uncomfortable and sat down in the "main seat" very calmly.
"Lady Hilfaria, why did you suddenly start speaking in that manner?"
"Ah... this is mainly to make it easier to communicate with my daughter, since Luna has some strange verbal tics."
Lady Hilfalia extended her index finger to her lips, while blinking her left eye, looking somewhat playful and sly.
"I see……"
Qiu Bi suddenly realized, and then glanced subtly at Anila, who was enjoying Ge Xiuzi's care.
This "transforming" cat also has verbal tic, but not the same kind as Luna's.
Hearing about Qiu Bi and Lady Hilfalia's conversation, Luna's face flushed slightly, and she couldn't help but let out a soft hum. Then she lowered her head and silently enjoyed the dishes prepared by Gexiuzi.
“However…” Lady Hilfalia slowly put down her knife and fork, elegantly and gracefully wiping her lips, and then continued, “Sir, you don’t need to use such a cumbersome title. You can simply call me ‘Madam’.”
Upon hearing this, Qiu Bi had no reaction yet, but Seele, Raiden Mei, and Yae Sakura suddenly looked up and stared at Lady Sylphia with rather strange gazes.
The latter didn't feel much yet, but the former two...
After waiting for a long time, Lady Hilfalia "came from behind" and "surpassed" her.
Whether it's Raiden Mei or Seele's "second personality," they are all urging Raiden Mei and Seele to "assassinate" Lady Sylpharia.
Chapter 149 The Vanished Power of the Herald
Qiu Bi's change of address was so natural that Xi'er's "second personality" and Lei's "assassination" plan were ruined before they could even be implemented.
Lady Hilfalia covered her mouth and chuckled softly, elegant yet dignified.
Before long, everyone finished eating.
Seeing this, Gexiuzi quickly walked to the dining table, preparing to clean it up as usual.
However, Gexiuzi's body shattered in the next second, turning into thick fog and dissipating.
This sudden scene stunned everyone.
"Wait... I... I seem to have lost my power!"
Luna carefully examined the sensations, and then panicked.
Raiden Mei subconsciously frowned, then opened her right hand, seemingly wanting to use her powers.
Nothing happened.
There was no familiar lightning flickering between her fingers, which gave Raiden Mei a vague idea of what was going on.
"Dr. Qiu, my powers have also failed, but my physical attributes as a Herrscher and my dream have not disappeared."
"My Lawyer powers have also disappeared..."
Qiu Bi murmured softly, then got up and walked to the window.
Lady Hilfalia followed closely behind Qiu Bi as they walked toward the window.
Then, the two witnessed an unbelievable scene—
The setting sun was like blood, and all things were desolate.
The Fog Sea Manor had somehow arrived in an old, dilapidated city.
Broken walls and ruins are everywhere, and you can even see moss growing rampantly.
"Sir, it seems we have arrived at a completely new place."
Lady Hilfalia narrowed her beautiful eyes, carefully observing the scene outside the window.
Qiu Bi nodded silently, standing there lost in thought.
After a while, he thought for a moment and said, "Mei, Sakura, you two come out with me."
With the Herrscher powers ineffective, Raiden Mei and Yae Sakura, both skilled in swordsmanship, are undoubtedly the strongest combatants.
Upon hearing this, Raiden Mei and Yae Sakura suddenly stood up, ready to go outside.
Seele looked around at everyone blankly, then asked timidly, "Brother Qiu Bi, then...where is Seele?"
“Seele, you should stay at Fogsea Manor for now. It might be dangerous outside, and Mei, Sakura, and I might not be able to protect you.”
Qiu Bi, Raiden Mei, and Yae Sakura have all lost their Herrscher powers and can only fight using their most basic physical abilities, so they may not be able to focus on protecting Seele.
Of course, Xi'er knew about this. She bit her lip and nodded silently, without insisting on going out with Qiu Bi and the others.
"Sir, would you like me to accompany you out?"
"The situation is still unclear, so Madam, please stay at the Fog Sea Manor and take care of the children for now."
Luna is a pseudo-Herrscher, and her powers are inextricably linked to the thick fog that shrouds the Fogsea Manor.
Now, she has suddenly lost her powers, causing the thick fog that shrouded the Fogsea Manor to dissipate, completely exposing the manor to the outside world.
In short, if some unknown entity with malicious intent notices Fogsea Manor, it is highly likely to attack it.
However, the Honkai energy in this world is extremely low, as if it is being deliberately suppressed by some kind of being. Even Qiu Bi and Raiden Mei have difficulty mobilizing the Honkai energy in their bodies, let alone those Honkai beasts that lack intelligence.
Therefore, Qiu Bi was not too worried that Honkai Beasts and assassins would attack Fog Sea Manor.
In this environment, whether Honkai Beasts and zombies can move is still an unknown.
"Sir, please be careful." Lady Hilfaria straightened Qiu Bi's clothes. "If you encounter a situation where you are outmatched, please return to Mistsea Manor as soon as possible. I will fight alongside you."
"Ah."
Qiu Bi responded lightly, then left the Misty Sea Manor with Raiden Mei and Yae Sakura.
Lady Hilfalia watched the three leave, then looked at Luna, who seemed a little flustered.
"Luna, prepare for battle... no, that's not right, you should first go and prepare the cellar for refuge."
Rather than fighting, Lady Sylpharia, Luna, and Seele should avoid all dangers.
“I understand.” Luna nodded. “Mother, what are you planning to do next?”
"Let's tidy up the cellar together so we can hide there at any time."
sound off.
Lady Hilfalia looked at Seele and said, "Child, come with us to the cellar."
