You wouldn't want them to be bullied, would you?

"Brother Qiu Bi, shouldn't we go help Sister Mei and Sister Ying?"

"No need. Mei and Sakura can handle them, it just takes some time."

If Raiden Mei were willing to draw "Dream Heart," she could perhaps eliminate these fog maids and destroy the fog manor with a single strike.

However, Raiden Mei seemed unwilling to end this "adventure" too quickly, and chose a slow, close-quarters fight.

Qiu Bi and Xi Er stood behind and waited patiently. Before long, only one mist maid remained.

Compared to the other mist maids, this mist maid was no different from a normal human, and her eyes were clear, unlike a "monster" without any intelligence.

"Welcome, four guests. I am 'Gexiuzi,' the head maid of 'Misty Manor'—thank you so much for waking me from my daze."

"What do you mean?"

Raiden Mei frowned, staring warily at Geshu, her lightning-formed katana vaguely aimed at him.

Gexiuzi ignored this, performed an elegant and standard curtsy, and then slowly explained the origin of the Mist Sea Manor.

This misty manor, named "Mist Sea Manor," was a noble manor from long ago.

The nobleman who owned this estate lived a very happy life, with both his career and love life being very fulfilling, until the birth of his daughter...

The nobleman's daughter is named "Luna Hilfaria," and is also the current owner of Fogsea Manor.

Luna was born with albinism, which led to discrimination from everyone and her being abandoned by her father.

Not only that, Luna's mother was considered an "ominous witch" because she gave birth to Luna, who had albinism. She eventually committed suicide while bearing all sorts of stigma, leaving Luna alone in the Fog Sea Manor to wait for her death.

Later, due to a sudden "Great Collapse", the entire Fog Sea Manor was affected and disappeared without a trace.

In fact, Fogsea Manor was affected by the "Great Collapse" and absorbed the resentment of Luna and Lady Sylpharia, thus forming the "Fogsea Manor" we know today.

— Drifting outside of reality, lingering in the ocean, never having a definite "anchor point".

Even if we are temporarily connected to the real world, it won't be long before we break away from it and drift to other worlds.

In the short few minutes that Qiu Bi and the others stayed, Fog Sea Manor had once again detached itself from reality and was drifting in the "ocean" until it came into contact with the next world.

“You don’t need to worry. Time flows much slower here than in reality. The last time we were in real life was actually a few months ago, but decades have passed in Fog Sea Manor.”

Upon hearing this, Seele suddenly widened her eyes, as if she had thought of something.

Since the flow of time here is quite different from that in reality, doesn't that mean she can use this to develop rapidly, and then when she returns to reality, her body will already be fully grown?

Gexiuzi looked around at everyone and then made an invitation.

"Please follow me, esteemed guests. The young lady has been waiting for you for a long time."

Raiden Mei and Yae Sakura instinctively looked at Qiu Bi, waiting for him to make a decision.

Qiu Bi nodded slightly, indicating that he could follow Ge Xiuzi.

……

Fog Sea Manor, second floor lobby.

Ge Xiuzi brought Mu Changqing and the others here, and then took his leave, claiming that he was "preparing a meal for the guests."

“You are the first guests to visit Fogsea Manor in countless years, and I can grant you one wish.”

A clear, cool voice rang out, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

She was a white-haired girl with long hair tied in a single ponytail, like a hanging Milky Way.

In addition, the girl wore a white and purple short dress that exuded aristocratic elegance, revealing her fair and slender feet.

"As for wishes... we don't actually have any wishes. We just heard about the history of this manor, so we came to explore it."

"I see."

The girl nodded and then said, "Then you will stay here for a while. We don't know when you will be able to return to your original world."

"..."

Qiu Bi did not respond.

If they want to leave Fogsea Manor, they can give Raiden Mei or Yae Sakura the "Herrscher of the Void Core" at any time and then leave Fogsea Manor.

However, with the idea of ​​"since I'm here, I might as well find out what's going on", Qiu Bi decided to stay here for a while.

“My name is ‘Luna Sylfaria’, you may call me ‘Luna’.”

Luna introduced herself without asking Qiu Bi and the others their names, seemingly not caring much about such things.

Before long, Ge Xiuzi slowly pushed a food cart back to the main hall on the second floor.

"Young Miss, you may now dine."

As she spoke, Ge Xiuzi pushed the food cart into the dining table.

At the moment the food cart and the dining table collided, the dining table shattered into a thick mist, supporting plates of food that were then distributed across the table.

"Hmm. Gexiuzi, why have you been absent from your post recently? I haven't seen you come to take care of me for a long time."

"I'm so sorry... Miss, please forgive my dereliction of duty."

Instead of revealing the real reason for his "absenteeism," Gexiuzi chose to confess frankly.

Luna didn't say much, and sat down in the main seat, gesturing for Qiu Bi and the others to sit down as well.

“Your visit is very timely, it just so happens to be mealtime, so let’s have a meal together.”

"Thank you very much."

Qiu Bi and the others took their seats one after another, and then looked around at the dishes placed on the table.

Chapter 146 Lady Hilfalia, you shouldn't want this...

The dishes on the table looked ordinary; they were clearly just some simple home-style dishes.

Qiu Bi tested the food on himself to make sure there was nothing wrong with it before signaling Raiden Mei, Yae Sakura, and Seele to eat.

Gexiuzi stood beside Luna, quietly watching everyone enjoy their meal.

After everyone finished eating, Gexiu grabbed the tablecloth and gently pulled it outwards.

In an instant, the tablecloth, along with the tableware and dishes, all turned into a shattered mist, which then gradually blended into the surrounding air.

“You need not be alarmed. This is simply my ability—I can control these mists at will.”

Even so, the thought that the food they had just eaten was all formed from mist gave everyone a strange feeling.

The fact that the food formed from the mist was just like real food, not only filling their stomachs but also providing the nutrients the body needed, amazed everyone even more.

Luna elegantly wiped her lips, then said, "Gessie will take you to choose your rooms later. My estate is quite large, you can choose freely, but..."

Luna paused, seemingly concerned about something, then lowered her voice and continued in a low tone, "There seems to be a 'ghost' in my manor! I often hear faint whispers and fleeting white shadows. You must be careful when you live here."

"ghost?"

Qiu Bi was surprised, but then quickly realized what was going on.

The "ghosts" that Luna mentioned are very likely special beings formed under the influence of Honkai energy.

Theresa had dealt with similar incidents before, and according to Patrick, Theresa had been frightened to tears more than once.

"If you need anything, you can contact the maids in the manor, and they will meet all your requests."

As soon as Luna finished speaking, the thick fog outside the window began to surge violently, and one by one, fog maids emerged from it.

Furthermore, these fog maids are bound by Gexiuzi's control and would never attack Qiu Bi and the others.

“Gexiuzi, I should go and rest now... I'll leave the affairs of the manor to you.”

"Young Miss, I will make some arrangements."

"Yes, I have always trusted you."

Luna nodded, then gracefully walked out of the hall and gradually disappeared around the corner at the end of the corridor.

Qiu Bi, Xi Er, Raiden Mei, and Yae Sakura watched Luna leave, then all looked at Ge Xiuzi.

"The young lady's personality may be a bit difficult to get along with, so please bear with her. After all, she has been living alone in this manor for over a thousand years, so it is normal for her to be rather aloof."

"Understandable."

If Qiu Bi were left alone in an empty manor, he would go completely insane within a few years.

In contrast, Luna has lived alone in the Misty Sea Manor for over a thousand years, yet she has always maintained a stable personality, which is enough to prove her inner strength.

in fact……

Based on the flow of time when Fogsea Manor was drifting on the "ocean," Luna may have been in Fogsea Manor for tens of thousands of years, but she herself has long lost her perception of time, so she thinks she has only been there for a few thousand years.

“Esteemed guests, please follow me to select your bedrooms.” Ge Xiuzi gestured for Qiu Bi and the others to follow her, and then asked, “How many bedrooms would you like?”

Qiu Bi thought for a few seconds, then replied, "Three bedrooms."

"Ok."

Gexiuzi responded lightly, then silently led the way.

……

Life at Fog Sea Manor was mundane, even monotonous.

Luna spends her days either standing by the window gazing at the thick fog or wandering aimlessly within the manor.

Gexiuzi always followed Luna closely, and occasionally, when Luna was resting, he would personally clean the huge manor.

As for the "ghost" that Luna mentioned earlier...

Qiu Bi, Xi'er, Raiden Mei, and Yae Sakura had never met.

During this time, Seele took the initiative to establish a friendly relationship with the "second personality" and obtained power from the previous generation from the "second personality".

—A small portion of the powers of the Herrscher of Death.

Compared to the cheesy movies, Seele's "second personality" is quite special. It is not born from nothing, but rather formed from the memories of previous generations of Herrschers of Death and based on Seele's personality.

Compared to Seele's gentle personality, the "second personality" is very assertive and has an extremely obvious "yandere" tendency. She even tried to imprison Qiu Bi and make Qiu Bi belong to "Seele" forever.

Unfortunately, Seele can't even beat Yae Sakura now, let alone Raiden Mei who has mastered the "Secret Technique: True Dream Theory".

After Seele's further persuasion, the "second personality" finally gave up the idea of ​​imprisoning Qiu Bi.
