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

Bronya is relatively well-behaved; her above-average intelligence makes her very sensible and she rarely cries or throws tantrums. However, she often displays mischievousness beyond her years, such as the previous "lipstick scroll" incident.

Alexandra feels her blood pressure rise whenever she thinks about the "lipstick scroll" she saw before.

Cecilia covered her mouth and chuckled, then began tidying up the items she had purchased on the trip.

Sofia and Alexandra looked at each other in silence, then took the initiative to help tidy up and organize.

……

Not long after, while Cecilia, Sofia, and Alexandra were still packing and organizing their belongings, Sirin, Aurora, Agatha, and Galina filed out of the room, some hugging their mothers, others rushing into Qiu Bi's arms.

Although Xilin verbally expresses her dislike for Qiu Bi, she always ends up being the first to run into his arms, which suggests that she is "saying one thing but doing another."

"Dad, when can Celine go back to school?"

"After Dad and Cecilia get married, Sirin can go to school with Aurora, Agatha, Galina and Bella."

"Oh……"

Celine nodded in realization, then continued, "So... how long is a week?"

"A week has seven days."

"How long is seven days?"

"...Cirin wakes up seven times before it's time for school."

"Okay! Then Celine will go to sleep now!"

Xilin immediately left Qiu Bi's embrace, pretending to go back to her room to sleep.

Qiu Bi quickly grabbed Xilin's shoulder and pulled her back into his arms.

"Silly boy, now is the time to eat, not to sleep."

"Daddy, you're bad! Sirin isn't a silly little girl, she's the world's strongest magical girl!"

Author's Note + Bounty

The time has finally come for it to be available for purchase.

Including this year, I, Ah Lian, have been writing novels for six years now, and they've either been on the verge of failure or have already failed.

But...

The most important thing about writing novels is to have fun and pursue my dream (referring to writing many, many completed novels).

If I really have to make a living by writing novels...

I've come to realize the consequences of this situation; I can't even get enough to eat every day, and it's just stir-fried potato shreds every day.

(Everyone in the group knows about this.)

This book is doing very well; it's probably my best-performing book in the last six years, so I won't abandon it!

As for the reward...

Since I'm running two instances of the app, my typing capacity is limited. Although I won't set a limit, I will raise the requirements a bit to prevent myself from being unable to repay too much.

However, no matter how much I owe, I will pay it back slowly. There will be no situation where I have to pay off the debt by wearing women's clothing. After all, at the request of the group members, the women's clothing was directly put into the group album.

The following are the reward conditions—

One chapter will be added for every 1000 recommendation votes.

One chapter is added for every 100 monthly passes.

One chapter will be added for every 5000 donations.

Add one chapter for every 50 blades.

Starting today, the period will last for seven days, from May 5.12th to May 5.18th.

Even a small amount will be counted as one chapter, meaning 1001 recommendation votes will count as two additional chapters, for a total of at least four additional chapters.

but.

The reward is secondary; what matters most is everyone's support!

Every Honkai Impact 3rd fanfic I write will eventually come to an end. My last one even reached 131.8 million words despite poor sales, so please rest assured that it will be finished!

Chapter 61 Cecilia: "I'm getting married soon."

No one spent too much time on dinner. After a quick bite, they returned to their respective apartments, either to continue their work or to wash up and rest.

The situation of the Snow Wolf Squad members is still unknown, but Qiu Bi's apartment is very lively.

The sounds of children, including Celine, playing and laughing echoed in the bathroom, accompanied by Sophia's scolding voice; it was clear that Celine had been mischievous again.

"Cirin, take off your clothes!"

"Mommy, can't I take a bath with my clothes on? Sirin wants to wear her magic dress forever!"

"Listen to me! Cancel your transformation immediately!"

Sophia's tone gradually became stern, causing Sirin's mischievous behavior to quickly subside.

The next second, Sirin deactivated her magical girl transformation and sat upright in the bathtub, no longer daring to do anything mischievous.

Celine knows her mother well. A little mischief is fine, but if she continues to be naughty when Sophia's tone gets stern, she'll get a good spanking.

During the time she was blind, Sirin had developed a "special ability" to discern Sophia's mood by listening to her tone of voice.

Knowing that Sophia was on the verge of anger, he naturally couldn't continue to pull her along on the edge of being beaten.

Aurora, Agatha, and Galina sat obediently on the plastic stools beside her, waiting for Sofia to give them a bath, not daring to be as mischievous as Sirin.

After all, Celine has already set an example; if she continues to be naughty, she will inevitably get a beating.

"Mom, will we sleep with Dad tonight?"

Sirin asked Sophia a question out of curiosity, which made Sophia pause for a moment.

After a few seconds, Sophia suddenly came to her senses and then laughed, "No way! If Celine doesn't go to sleep obediently, Daddy will sneak into the room, grab Celine, and spank her bottom!"

"Ouch—! Daddy, that's bad!"

Xilin knew, of course, that Sophia was trying to scare her, but she still obediently pretended to dislike Qiu Bi.

Meanwhile, Qiu Bi, who was sitting in the living room, heard Cecilia's voice and thought about having Cecilia and Patrick increase Cecilia's "workload".

Although this action would indirectly lead to Aurora, Agatha, Galina, and Bella being punished as well, Qiu Bi felt that doing more homework would help them quickly master the knowledge they were learning, so he made the decision.

"Qiu Bi, what are you thinking about?"

Cecilia brushed her hair behind her ear, then sat down next to Qiu Bi and gently leaned on his shoulder.

Alexandra was putting Bronya to sleep, while Bella was making the bed so she could rest later.

"Cecilia, when you teach the children elementary school tomorrow, remember to assign them extra homework."

"Assign more homework?"

Cecilia paused for a moment, then, recalling Sirin's shout, she immediately understood why Qiu Bi had said that, and couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.

This is clearly an act of "retaliation".

By assigning more homework, he indirectly retaliated against Xilin for speaking ill of him.

"Qiu Bi, you really are 'childish'."

“Sirin dares to speak ill of me now; who knows, she might dare to ride roughshod over me in the future.”

“But—Sirin can indeed ride on your head.”

Cecilia smiled gently, "When Celine asked to ride you, didn't you never refuse?"

Qiu Bi paused for a moment, then sighed, "That's true."

"Don't worry, Patrick and I will teach Celine and the others well."

sound off.

Cecilia winked playfully, as if hinting at something.

Upon seeing this, Qiu Bi suddenly realized that Cecilia had agreed to his proposal and would assign more homework to Celine and the other children in the coming days.

"Then I'll leave Celine and the others in your care with Patrick."

Qiu Bi chuckled softly, as if he could foresee the scene of Xilin sitting in his lap, complaining about having too much homework.

Cecilia then gently touched the communication device and dialed Theresa's number.

"Cecilia, shall we inform Theresa now?"

"Yes, let Theresa know in advance, and then have her tell Fu Hua and Li Xue."

Cecilia nodded and then patiently waited for Theresa to answer the call.

A few minutes later, Theresa's face suddenly appeared in front of Qiu Bi and Cecilia.

Compared to the Theresa that Qiu Bi saw in the Tower of Babel, Theresa at this time had taken off her nun's habit and changed into cute, childish houm pajamas, with her long white hair casually draped over her shoulders, as if she was preparing to rest.

"Just as I thought... Cecilia, I knew you wouldn't get into trouble so easily."

Theresa sighed, then said in a tone that was both a complaint and a reproach, "Since you didn't die, why didn't you tell us? Maria and Angelia were very worried about you."

Seemingly feeling that "concern" didn't sound quite right, Theresa changed her wording at the last minute, replacing "concern" with "worry".

Upon hearing this, Cecilia chuckled for a few seconds, then replied, "Theresa, I'm sorry! I've been a bit busy these past few days, so I haven't been able to inform you in time."

"Anyway, it's good that you're alright."

Theresa shook her head helplessly, then asked, "Cecilia, where are you right now?"

"I am in Changkong City in the Far East, and I plan to settle here for a while."

"The Far East? Alright, I'll go find you tomorrow."

"Actually, there's no need to rush to find me. You can go to Fu Hua and Li Xue first and tell them about me."

"Hmm? If it's about finding Maria and Angelia, that's understandable. But why go find Fu Hua and Cheng Lixue first?"

“That’s because…” Cecilia paused for a moment, then smiled and continued, “I’m getting married soon, the wedding is next week.”
