As these increasingly distorted girls approached, Lu Zeren became numb.
"At least, at least let me know what I've been through with you guys."
Chapter 207 Alicia: Stealing things always tastes better!
"Ta-da! A beautiful girl as radiant as a Phlox makes her dazzling entrance."
A sweet, energetic, and melodious girl's voice broke the dull atmosphere. A pink-clad girl, like a fairy, stood with one hand on her hip and a radiant smile on her face, as beautiful as a blooming flower.
"I heard you, you mentioned my name, didn't you?"
"..."
After a moment of silence, Kevin crossed his arms and said calmly:
"Let's talk."
After saying that, he left directly—judging from his back, his steps were unusually swift, as if there were some raging flood or ferocious beast behind him.
"Hey, why did you leave so suddenly, Kevin!"
Watching Kevin's retreating figure, Paradise Ellie felt somewhat helpless and regretful. She had wanted to try and take this opportunity to play a trick on Kevin, but alas...
However, it doesn't really matter.
"Hmm~" The girl's gaze shifted to Jiang Qiao, revealing a smiling face. She took a few steps closer and looked Jiang Qiao up and down, her beautiful blue eyes, adorned with a touch of pink, filled with curiosity.
"From the outside, they look the same, but the feeling is completely different from my original self~"
"After all, she is not the owner of this body, and she cannot accept parts of the body as completely as I can."
Jiang Qiao rested her cheek on her hand, smiling faintly.
Some people believe that the body is the most important thing, while others believe that consciousness is the most important thing.
As for him, Jiang Qiao believes that both are equally important. The body's consciousness will subtly influence the body, and whether the consciousness matches or not also determines whether that person can properly drive the body.
Alicia, who uses [Jiang Qiao], has never thought about how to explore or discover this body. She simply subconsciously treats this body as a 'container' for containment and action.
She clumsily tried to play the role of 'Jiang Qiao', but her true nature was completely undisguised—making her appear flawed and incongruous.
"Is that so?"
Paradise Ellie clearly couldn't understand the meaning behind it, after all, she was just a memory, an echo of the past.
Of course, Miss Alicia often chooses to set aside things she cannot understand for the time being. After all, during that journey around the world, there were already too many things that young Alicia could not comprehend at that time.
They will find out in the future.
"Never mind. But I heard everything, you're going to prepare a gift for Kevin, right? A gift that can 'surprise' that Kevin who's always so cold, oh my... I'm actually a little curious." Alicia smiled, then excitedly moved closer to Jiang Qiao, making no attempt to hide the concern in her eyes, and tried to get an answer in a coquettish voice:
"Mind satisfying someone's curiosity? Don't worry, I definitely won't tell Kevin! You know that!"
For the past fifty thousand years in this paradise, one of the greatest pleasures of Miss Alice has been how to tease and harass Kevin. To this end, she would often go to Hua to borrow the Feather Crossing Dust, but even so, Alice rarely succeeded.
Therefore, the Happy Land Fat Lady was extremely interested in the so-called gift that Jiang Qiao mentioned, which would make Kevin feel incredibly 'surprised'—she really wanted to see Kevin's wonderful expression!
Jiang Qiao did not respond to this, but simply smiled.
—No way! The so-called 'surprise' is precisely because it is unknown until the moment it is truly revealed.
If we knew in advance, wouldn't the benefits be greatly diminished?
Seeing the meaning behind the smile, Miss Paradise Ellie's cheeks puffed out quickly, and she said with considerable dissatisfaction:
"What does it matter! I'm just a memory! A memory, okay! It's not like I'm going to tip off Kevin outside... You're even hiding this from a 'memory' like me!?"
Look at that angry little eye, it's as if it's saying - are you even human?
For the heroes of the past paradise, the term 'memory body' to refer to their own state is closer in meaning to the common understanding of 'the deceased'.
I'm already dead and you've kept it from me! Don't you know the meaning of respecting the dead?
Miss Paradise Alice was furious—but the next moment, seeing Jiang Qiao's smiling face, she paused.
...Could this guy have done this just to see me get furious?
No—that's absolutely true!
The fat woman affirmed her own thoughts, revealing a slightly annoyed and helpless expression:
"That's so mean! How could you treat such a cute girl like that!"
Even I get angry!
"Give."
When Le Tu Ai Li looked down, she saw that what Jiang Qiao was handing her was... a lighter.
She widened her eyes—"Ellie, I'm angry and you hand me a lighter? You think I'm not angry enough?!"
Fine, fine, if you do the first thing, don't blame Alicia for doing the fifteenth.
As an idea popped into her mind, Paradise Xia's anger subsided, and she returned to her usual smiling demeanor.
"Jiang Qiao, can you come closer to me?"
"Closer~ Yes, right here, Ellie, I'll show you something nice." Grabbing Jiang Qiao's hand, Paradise Ellie pulled her along rather 'gently'—Jiang Qiao was puzzled but also happy to see what this Paradise fat lady was up to.
"Jiang Qiao, what surprise are you preparing for Kevin? Can't you really tell me?" Suddenly, Paradise Ellie asked this question.
Jiang Qiao continued to smile in response.
Acting cute won't work—I, Jiang Qiao, absolutely will not say anything today...
Just as Jiang was firmly committed to his principle of secrecy, the pink figure pounced on him. Then, he felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, his body became heavy, and he tilted backward with a loud 'bang' as he fell heavily to the ground. Just as he was about to hit the ground, an invisible crystal flower bloomed.
"Well..."
A strange, warm, and slippery sensation—it's a bit forceful, like it's exploring or trying to take something away.
In fact, that is indeed the case.
"You actually used this method, that's something else."
Feeling the 55kg weight pressing down on her, Jiang Qiao, lying on the crystal flower, looked up at the pink-clad girl riding on her, feeling somewhat helpless.
"Hmm~ For uncooperative villains, of course we have to take some 'extreme' measures." With her cheeks slightly flushed, feeling both embarrassed and excited, Paradise Airi licked her lips, revealing a smug expression.
"I already know~"
Are you trying to keep me in suspense? Well then, don't blame me for taking it by force!
As a memory entity, the fastest and most efficient way to acquire information is, of course, to directly engage in 'spiritual communication' through mental contact—what she thinks cannot be hidden from 'Alice,' who is herself a memory entity.
Of course, for Paradise Ellie, who is neither the original body nor a mental perception type fusion warrior, the reason she was able to achieve this method is more due to the mental fusion that Jiang Qiao had done when she was 'Elliesia', and the 'essence' that remained after merging and becoming a part of Paradise Ellie.
With this help, Paradise Ellie managed to deceive Jiang Qiao's mental defenses without any other assistance. She then used a 'bold' approach to open Jiang Qiao's defenses wide, further lowering her guard, thus achieving her goal of obtaining information through 'spiritual communication'.
Of course—Loveland could have taken an easier approach, such as grabbing Jiang Qiao by the collar to make the latter more obedient and cooperate with her.
She knew the latter would definitely not refuse.
But wouldn't that make it seem like I'm showing weakness?
In retaliation for Jiang Qiao's cryptic and teasing behavior, Miss Paradise Ellie chose to launch a 'surprise attack'! She'd rob her outright!!!
After all, things that are stolen taste better, don't they?
"Hmm~ I see..."
As she licked her lips, Paradise Ellie savored the spoils of her theft, revealing a mixture of surprise, astonishment, and excitement.
"Could you watch it somewhere else at your own pace...?"
Sensing the dangerous words Jiang Qiao was about to utter, the plump woman from Paradise smiled, though a hint of murderous intent flickered in her narrowed eyes.
"Ok?"
"It's alright, it's alright..."
Looking at the pink-clad, overweight woman straddling her, with an air of "If you dare say that word, I'm not leaving," Jiang Qiao chose to follow her heart.
Even so, the furious Miss Paradise Ellie only reluctantly got up after reading through the 'stolen spoils'.
"I never expected something like this to exist... Hmph."
Recalling that memory, Paradise Ellie couldn't help but click her tongue, then snorted and glared at Jiang Qiao with her beautiful eyes—such an interesting thing, and you actually kept it from me, Ellie!
but--
"If that's the case, then..."
Seemingly having thought of something interesting, Paradise Ellie stared at Jiang Qiao with shining eyes, making a gesture with a cat-like expression.
"Okay, okay, I get it."
Jiang Qiao, who had just gotten up from the ground, sighed and nodded helplessly, immediately guessing what kind of 'bad idea' the fat woman in front of her was up to.
This instantly brought a smile to Paradise Airi's face, and she grabbed the former's arm:
"Hmm~ I knew you'd have a way?"
For some reason, Kevin felt a chill run down his spine as he left.
