Today, Belobog basked under the blazing sun.
Since the resolution of the Stellaron Crisis...
Global temperatures have risen,
and clear skies like these have become increasingly common.
Bronya and Pela emerged from Qlipoth Fort together, feeling the warmth as golden sunlight bathed their bodies.
They paused momentarily.
Bronya glanced back, her mind filled with countless thoughts that swiftly vanished... Despite the myriad emotions swirling within her, her expression remained unchanged—cold and impassive.
The surrounding Silvermane Guards stood vigilant, eyes unwavering.
Pela spoke up, "Miss Bronya, Mrs. Cocolia's sudden decision to appoint a new museum director caught everyone off guard. Convincing the old director to willingly step down won't be easy."
"Proceed boldly; seize this opportunity. It's also time to reorganize The Architects' ranks," Bronya replied, her tone icy.
Ever since ascending to the position of Great Guardian,
Bronya has been dedicated to revitalizing Gelou Beru's spirit and energy.
These actions inadvertently conflicted with the interests of some individuals within The Architects, hindering the smooth implementation of her policies.
The old director of the Cultural History Museum was among those opposing forces, and a confrontation between Bronya and him seemed inevitable—just like lighting three fires to assert authority upon assuming a new position.
Now...
Bronya intended to leverage Bochang's influence to initiate a purge within The Architects, eliminating dissenters.
Once key figures under Cocolia, these individuals now faced a change in leadership.
Unfortunately, politics dictate that each ruler brings their own loyalists.
Those unable to adapt to Bronya's pace would inevitably be cast aside by her.
This must have been the reason behind Cocolia entrusting the museum to Bochang; Bronya had fully grasped the situation.
Pela responded, "I understand."
Meanwhile...
Bochang and Bailu followed Cocolia into one of Qlipoth Fort's guest rooms.
"Miss Bailu, let me show you another room nearby."
Like Bronya, Cocolia wore long black boots, causing a rhythmic tapping sound with each step.
Glancing at those shapely legs encased in black stockings, Bochang couldn't help but think, "If her feet were sweaty... that tangy aroma..."
With knee-high boots extending past her knees and snugly hugging her thighs, it created a perfect environment for fermentation.
Compared to Bronya's slender figure,
Cocolia's legs had more curves.
Naturally...
they tapered from fuller thighs down to slimmer calves.
Her hips and bust size were also larger than Bronya's.
Yet, Cocolia carried no excess fat; everything was just right... evident through her form-fitting attire, making these physical attributes unmistakably noticeable.
It must be said...
Cocolia exuded the allure of a mature woman, akin to Himeko and Serval.
Before, Bochang hadn't closely observed her features.
Now, taking a closer look,
he felt a myriad of emotions stirring within him.
The white skirt provided minimal coverage, resembling a front panel like a loincloth and tapering asymmetrically behind, almost like a swallow-tail hemline.
Most striking were the tight black stockings torn around her waist and hips,
revealing large expanses of smooth, fair skin.
As Bochang discreetly observed the former Great Guardian,
Bailu protested, "No... This miss wants to sleep with Bochang."
With that, the little dragon girl reached out and firmly grasped Bochang, showing no intention of letting go.
"This..." Cocolia appeared troubled; this wasn't what she had envisioned.
[Dating Options activated.]

[Option 2: Allow Bailu to stay - Completion Reward: Random Item, ranging from a matchstick to a star destroyer. Note: Such items will...]
« Dating options triggered... If I choose for Bailu to leave or stay, will different events occur? »
« Should I let her leave or allow her to remain? »
« It feels like something significant might happen... »
Since both options offer rewards, Bochang could make his choice more casually.
After a moment's contemplation, Bochang said, « Hmm... Alright, let Bailu stay then.»
« Option 2. »
Having made his decision, Bochang said, "Let Bailu stay here."
"Alright, then I'll take my leave now. If anything arises, Mister Bochang can call for me." With a hint of disappointment, Cocolia turned and departed.
[Reward being distributed - Congratulations! You have obtained the item: Immortal Binding Rope. It automatically targets visible enemies and binds them securely. Note: This equipment has been stored in the system space and can be retrieved for use at any time.]
[Note 2: The equipment requires blood binding to establish ownership.]
"Immortal Binding Rope? I've heard about this before... Never expected to actually obtain it. This draw wasn't too bad after all." A slight smile curved Bochang's lips.
Bailu tilted her head and asked, "Why are you smiling?"
Caught off guard, Bochang gently patted the little dragon girl's head. "It's nothing... I just remembered something happy, so I couldn't help but smile..."
"What is it that makes you so happy?" Bailu persisted.
Bochang had no intention of pursuing this topic further. He replied, "Don't worry about it. Let's get some rest; I'm feeling sleepy."
"Uh..." The little dragon girl plopped onto the bed, gently tapping its surface with her tail.
This room was specially prepared by Cocolia for their stay.
It was spacious, and the bed remarkably soft, ensuring Bailu's comfort even while lying down.
On Xianzhou Luofu, beds were never this plush.
As Bochang sat on the mattress, it sank slightly beneath him. Instead of rushing to sleep, he took out his phone for a quick glance.
Earlier, he had sent a message to March 7th.
Bochang wanted to check if she had replied yet.
"Hmm... Still no response, maybe she's already asleep."
At Xianzhou Luofu...
It should be late at night now.
Bochang put down his phone and rubbed his eyes.
He felt a slight dip in the mattress.
Turning around, Bochang noticed that the little dragon girl's body had once again grown larger.
Her explosive transformation couldn't be fully concealed by those tiny clothes.
Instinctively covering his eyes, Bochang pleaded, "Bailu, please behave normally, I'm scared."
Previously, when dominated by March 7th...
After enduring a relentless night of pushing, despite the exhilaration, Bochang was still recovering from the experience.
Seeing Bailu suddenly transform elicited this natural reaction.
"I just wanted to change my form; there were absolutely no malicious intentions," Bailu protested innocently, sitting cross-legged and engaged in beetle fighting with her hands.
Her vulnerable demeanor truly evoked sympathy.
"You'd better..." Bochang delivered a gentle chop on Bailu's head, "Remember, transformations are prohibited here. Also... unless it's dangerous or you have my permission, don't randomly change your form."
"Alright, I understand now..."
Bailu rubbed her head, emitting a blinding white light as her curvaceous figure rapidly shrank.
She transformed back into a stoic little loli.
Ignoring Bailu, Bochang lay down to sleep without further ado.
Rest time passed swiftly.
Unfortunately...
Before Bochang could fully relax, Cocolia burst into the room, exclaiming, "It's urgent, Mister Bochang! Belobog's Antimatter Legion... they've suddenly awakened."
