Lying on the bed, Veliona kept her eyes tightly shut, trying to ignore the "bad guy" on top of her.
"Whatever I want?" Luo Hong smirked, leaning into her ear. "Then first, let me hear you call me 'Brother-in-law'."
To be honest, he thought he would have experienced this kind of roleplay with Danzhu first, but Veliona had beaten her to it.
"B-brother-in-law..." At this point, Veliona could no longer maintain her tough persona. Though her expression was filled with humiliation—which only excited Luo Hong more—the intense feeling of transgression stirred a strange sensation within her. A tingling numbness spread through her limbs, leaving her powerless to resist.
"Good girl." Luo Hong smiled with satisfaction. He reached out, interlacing his fingers tightly with hers. "By the way, a little reminder."
"Hmm? What?" Veliona opened her scarlet eyes, sensing that something was amiss.
"Just as you can feel Seele's joy, Seele can feel yours—even if she's temporarily unaware of your presence right now." Luo Hong licked his lips. "When you feel pleasure, she will feel it too. So..."
"I... I would never feel pleasure from something like this!" Veliona interrupted him.
I... I will definitely endure it! She told herself. But remembering the kiss from earlier, she knew she couldn't deceive her own heart. Her body, acting on instinct, writhed beneath him like a serpent, but with her hands pinned and his weight pinning her down, there was no escape.
"We'll see." Luo Hong didn't hesitate any longer. He leaned down to kiss her again, and as her gaze grew vacant, he finally "consumed" her.
"Heh!" Veliona let out a cold, forced laugh, trying to look indifferent. "Is that all?"
Despite her bravado, her eyes had rolled back the moment he entered. However, she had mentally prepared herself this time and used her willpower to "crawl out" of the overwhelming sensation.
If I keep this rhythm... I can hold on! I will win!
Then—
"As I thought, the 'bratty' ones are more fun." Seeing her fleeting defiance, Luo Hong smiled. Among everyone he knew, Veliona had the most nerve. Cangxuan, Danzhu, and Bronya only acted tough before the "battle"; once it started, they knew when to surrender. But Veliona was different—a little bit of leeway and she'd start acting up again. This allowed him to retaliate without feeling the sting of his remaining conscience.
Ultimately, Veliona felt like a small boat lost in a vast, raging ocean, unable to control her own fate. When it finally ended, she lay there staring blankly at the... ceiling?
Only then did her consciousness return to reality.
No wonder Big Sis was like that... She finally understood Bronya. But thinking of Bronya reminded her of Seele, and a look of horror crossed her face.
"Wait... then weren't all those feelings just now transmitted to her?" She looked at Luo Hong in despair.
"Don't worry," Luo Hong laughed. "I only let a small portion of the pleasure pass through. If it were all of it, Seele wouldn't have been able to handle it."
"Mm... thank you, Brother-in-law." After the literal "storm" she had just endured, Veliona didn't dare speak arrogantly to him anymore.
"Tch." Seeing her so obedient made Luo Hong click his tongue; it felt like something was missing. "Actually... I prefer you when you're being defiant. Go back to being like that."
"..." Veliona fell silent, her jaw tightening as anger flared in her eyes. "You'd better remember—you're the one who asked for this!"
This suited her anyway; she wasn't good at suppressing her emotions. Of course, she knew the limits now—she could be arrogant in her attitude, but she couldn't cross the line in her actions, or she'd face his "suppression" all over again.
"Much better." Luo Hong snapped his fingers, restoring her state. "It's time for us to head back."
Immediately afterward, he led Veliona—who was still mentally unprepared—back to the beach. The moment they returned—
"Have you two been here the whole time?" Bronya asked, her eyes narrowing with suspicion. She sensed something was off, but for the life of her, she couldn't pinpoint exactly what.
"We haven't gone anywhere." Adopting an innocent expression, Luo Hong looked at Veliona beside him. "I've been here with Veliona this entire time... right?"
As he spoke, he rested his hand on Veliona's head, wearing a playful smile as he looked to her for confirmation.

"Mm..." With her left hand clutching her opposite elbow and her face turned slightly away, Veliona gave a reluctant nod. Her disgruntled expression made it seem as though she was being coerced by Luo Hong, yet her unwillingness to lie left Bronya genuinely confused about the truth of the matter.
"Brother Luo Hong, after this, Seele and I will stay here until Big Sis Bronya enters the Sea of Quanta to pick us up, right?" On the other side, Seele had no such doubts and moved straight to business. Of course, it wasn't that she hadn't felt anything strange. The lingering sense of intense pleasure she had felt earlier—a sensation she had never experienced before—was something she still couldn't forget.
However, considering she had been playing in the water with Bronya, she managed to rationalize it... even if the explanation felt a bit forced. But no matter how forced it was, that embarrassing pleasure was something she could never bring herself to mention to Luo Hong, so she chose to act as if nothing had happened.
"Yes," Luo Hong nodded with a smile. "That's the safest way."
"Also, just so you know, since Veliona has her own body in this world, she'll be able to move independently once you return to the outside world. You won't be restricted to sharing a single body anymore. It'll make things much easier once Bronya arrives."
He guessed Veliona wouldn't mention this herself. She was too dependent on Seele; unless forced, she would never choose to be apart from her.
"Really?" A flash of joy lit up Seele's eyes. She excitedly grabbed Veliona's hands. "Congratulations, my other self!"
"There's nothing to congratulate me for," Veliona huffed. Although she was influenced by Seele's joy and felt a surge of happiness herself, she kept her face cold. To her, this wasn't necessarily a good thing; she actually preferred sharing a body with Seele.
However—
[Think about it: in the outside world, now that you have your own body, you can actually cuddle with Seele when you sleep at night. Isn't that much better than just staying in her mental space?] Luo Hong's voice echoed in her mind.
Huh? Hearing this perspective, Veliona froze for a moment, followed by an uncontrollable wave of delight in her heart. Indeed, being able to hold the fragrant Seele in her arms was a wonderful prospect! Her feelings for Seele were more than just simple affection; it was something far more profound. The temptation of being able to sleep while holding Seele was self-evident.
Involuntarily, she felt a flicker of gratitude toward Luo Hong for pointing this out.
But—No, wait, why am I thanking this bastard? This is the least he should do! Realizing this, she snapped back to reality and maintained her hostile stance toward him.
"Unless necessary, you will continue to use the body," Veliona said to Seele in a bossy tone. "I can't be bothered to deal with the trivial matters of the outside world."
"Alright, alright," Seele replied with a smile, knowing Veliona's personality all too well. "But still, congratulations." Then, before Veliona could respond, she turned to Luo Hong with a sweet smile. "And thank you, Brother Luo Hong."
"It's a small matter." Luo Hong withdrew his hand from Veliona's head and reached over to pat Seele's head instead.
"Stare—!"
While Seele squinted her eyes in enjoyment, Veliona glared at Luo Hong with murderous intent. It's one thing to pat my head, but how dare he pat Seele's? At that moment, she completely ignored the fact that Seele looked like a happy little animal.
"That's enough," Bronya interrupted. "Bronya needs to 'log off' now. Luo Hong, please take care of them." She shot him a meaningful look. Having witnessed everything, although she was still under the influence of his consciousness manipulation, her intuition and her understanding of Luo Hong told her that something had definitely happened between him and Veliona.
"Of course," Luo Hong chuckled, catching her drift. "I'll take good care of them, don't you worry."
"Seele, Veliona," Bronya said seriously, "Bronya is coming to find you." After receiving a nod from both Seeles, she finally "logged off."
St. Freya Academy, Student Dorms, Bronya's Room.
Climbing out of bed, Bronya pulled back the heavy curtains, letting the morning sunlight flood the room. True, she saw that something had happened between Veliona and Luo Hong—perhaps she had even been "eaten"? But in her eyes, that sacrifice was worth it.
Based on her knowledge of Luo Hong, it was only a matter of time before he claimed Veliona anyway. Even with Seele, she knew she couldn't protect her forever. Or rather... Seele would probably take the initiative herself!
During their private time, Seele had already confirmed that she liked Luo Hong. If they wanted to be together forever in the future, then Seele being with Luo Hong was the natural conclusion. Therefore, whatever deal Veliona thought she was making with Luo Hong, Bronya saw it as futile. The person they were trying to protect had already surrendered; they never stood a chance in this "game" from the start.
"Phew... no more thinking about that. Bronya's priority right now is to bring Seele back!" Regardless of what the future held, nothing was more important than rescuing Seele from the Sea of Quanta.
With that settled, she walked out of her bedroom and headed toward Theresa's room with firm steps. Even though Theresa hadn't been summoned by Luo Hong yesterday, she trusted that he wouldn't let her down when it came to important matters.
Sure enough—
"Bronya, you're here." Although Theresa had just woken up, she clearly knew why Bronya had come. They closed the door and began discussing the operation plan.
In the Sea of Quanta, a very serious conversation was taking place.
"Why should I trust you?" Kevin stood his ground, a heavy, mountain-like pressure radiating from him. Most people wouldn't even dare to think of resisting in his presence.
"Because I only need to wait for a certain person to arrive, and then I will let you leave," Welt replied, hands in his pockets. He didn't emit a powerful aura, but his expression was grim. "And also—" He pushed up his glasses. "Shamash."
A pair of twin pistols appeared out of the void in front of Kevin. He took his old companion, inspecting it closely to ensure there were no issues with the Judgement of Shamash.
Then, he looked up at Welt. "How do you want me to cooperate?"
"I will tell you what to do when the time is right." Seeing Kevin compromise, Welt's expression relaxed slightly. "Of course, you can continue to persist in your own path; doing so won't affect our plan. Ultimately, we just want to preserve as much fighting strength as possible. After all, after the Honkai—" He looked toward the sky and muttered, "We have new enemies."
"Is that so?" Kevin nodded. "I will judge the situation for myself, but for now, I will cooperate with you. I hope you truly can defeat the Honkai."
With Project Stigma as a fallback, he was curious to see how far this successor and the entity behind him could go.
