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

"Raiden Mei, please get some sleep!"

Qiu Bi immediately used his "Discipline" ability to make Raiden Mei's eyelids gradually become heavy, and then she slowly drifted into a peaceful dream.

Seeing this, Qiu Bi felt relieved and released Raiden Mei's wrist.

Because he was too nervous and worried, Qiu Bi pressed down harder on Raiden Mei, leaving a faint red mark on her wrist.

"Bella, what exactly is going on?"

"I'm not quite sure. I was preparing a midnight snack when someone found me and said that Mei had shown signs of self-harm, so I rushed back to my room to call you."

If it weren't for the staff from the rehabilitation center who hurriedly found Bella and told her about this, Bella might already be "intimate" with Qiu Bi.

Then, Bella knelt down next to Raiden Mei and carefully examined Raiden Mei's injuries.

The "Maid's Self-Cultivation" that Qiu Bi once gave Bella included a series of knowledge on caring for people, which is why Bella was able to skillfully treat Raiden Mei's injuries.

In fact, without Bella's help in taking care of Raiden Mei, Qiu Bi would never have been able to get Raiden Mei to open up so quickly. He would have needed to continue to guide her for a while before he could gain her trust.

"Qiu Bi, Mei is fine, just some superficial injuries."

After saying that, Bella got up and left Raiden Mei's room, asking the staff at the sanatorium for iodine and gauze to treat Raiden Mei's injuries.

Why would someone suddenly exhibit self-harming behavior?

Qiu Bi was puzzled and then picked up Raiden Mei and examined her hands.

Raiden Mei is still young and her hands are not big. However, she has been neglecting her appearance recently, and her nails are long and sharp, which is why she committed this "self-harm" behavior.

Qiu Bi pondered for a moment, then sat on the bed with Raiden Mei in his arms, quietly waiting for Bella to return.

Perhaps it was the influence of the "precepts," or perhaps it was the long-lost sense of security that made Raiden Mei frown and involuntarily curl up in Qiu Bi's arms, as if she wanted to feel that sense of security as much as possible.

Not long after, Bella returned to Raiden Mei's bedroom carrying a first-aid kit.

"Leave Mei to me to handle."

Bella tried to take Raiden Mei away from Qiu Bi's arms, but Raiden Mei subconsciously resisted this action and was unwilling to leave Qiu Bi's arms.

Bella could only let Raiden Mei stay in Qiu Bi's arms and then carefully treated Raiden Mei's injuries.

Chapter Eighty, "Sports Among Adults"

This is not the first time Bella has treated an injury.

Over the past four years, Bronya, Kiana, and Bianca have all been injured to varying degrees, and Bella has usually been responsible for bandaging and treating them.

In addition, "The Maid's Self-Cultivation" details various treatment methods, so Bella is no stranger to treating injuries.

"Qiu Bi, what exactly is going on?"

"It's not entirely clear, but there must have been some kind of trigger that caused Raiden Mei to engage in 'self-harm' behavior."

Qiu Bi pondered for a moment, then silently looked around the room.

Bella skillfully dealt with the remaining bloodstains on the ground while silently monitoring Raiden Mei's condition.

A few seconds later, Qiu Bi noticed the faint traces of Honkai energy remaining in the corner of the room, and his brows furrowed immediately.

"Bella, there are remnants of Honkai energy there."

Qiu Bi pointed to the corner of the room but did not walk over there with Raiden Mei in his arms.

Based on the Honkai energy that appeared out of nowhere in the corner of the room, Raiden Mei's sudden "self-harm" behavior is very likely caused by this residual Honkai energy.

Bella immediately looked toward that corner and also discovered traces of residual Honkai energy.

"Qiu Bi, this residual Honkai energy..."

Bella walked slowly to the corner of the bedroom, her beautiful eyes slightly narrowed, and she lowered her head to gaze at the area where traces of Honkai energy remained.

Besides the residual Honkai energy, the ground in this corner was noticeably darker than the ground in other areas, as if it had been scorched by high temperatures.

Seeing this, Bella knew exactly what was going on and had a general idea.

"What about that residual Honkai energy?"

"The Herrscher."

Bella was concise, uttering only two words.

Upon hearing this, Qiu Bi's eyes narrowed, and he couldn't help but look at Raiden Mei, who was fast asleep in his arms.

no doubt.

Raiden Mei almost turned into a Herrscher again just now.

"Bella, let Mei live with us for a while."

Qiu Bi breathed a sigh of relief and then made a decision.

If Raiden Mei were to become a Herrscher again, with the power of Chiu and Bella, they could suppress her without injury in an instant and prevent her from harming others or engaging in self-harm again.

Bella possesses four Herrscher Cores: the Herrscher of Lightning, the Herrscher of Ice, the Herrscher of Flame, and the Herrscher of Death, making her almost a perfect counter to Raiden Mei in her Herrscher form.

If Raiden Mei weren't in a position to recklessly come into contact with Honkai energy, Bella would have already used the power of the Herrscher of Death to heal the injuries left by Raiden Mei's self-inflicted wounds.

True.

With the power of the Herald of Death, it is entirely possible to "disintegrate" all things, but Bella is not yet able to do that.

For the past four years, Bella has been busy with her studies and taking care of girls like Sirin, and has had little time to develop and study the four Herrscher Cores. At most, she has focused on developing the "Herrscher of Thunder Core".

In contrast, Qiu Bi now possesses the "Herrscher of Wind Core", "Herrscher of Flame Core" and "Herrscher of Knowledge Core", and has numerous opportunities to choose the abilities that have been granted to him.

With the power of the "Herrscher of Knowledge Core", Qiu Bi can restore Raiden Mei to calm down as soon as possible after Raiden Mei becomes a Herrscher.

As long as Qiu Bi is willing, he can be given and selected targeted abilities at any time.

However, Qiu Bi doesn't need to have too many abilities; he only needs to be able to protect himself. Everything else can be left to the "contractors."

"I understand."

Bella nodded slightly. Although she felt a little regretful that they couldn't be intimate, she wouldn't let her emotions affect Qiu Bi's decision.

Unless Qiu Bi grants her new abilities when she is deeply moved, she can remain calm most of the time.

knock knock!

There was a gentle knock on Raiden Mei's door.

Qiu Bi and Bella looked at each other in silence, then Bella took the initiative to call out, "Please come in!"

"Dr. Qiu, Miss Bella, what's the story with President Raiden's daughter?"

The person knocking on the door was the head of the recuperation facility. He looked slightly worried, as if he was concerned about Raiden Mei's condition, or perhaps about his own job.

"Raiden Mei suddenly began to self-harm, but fortunately there were no sharp objects in the bedroom, and she was stopped in time, so there are no major consequences."

Qiu Bi replied, then asked in return, "Does the Thunder Dragon Horse know about this?"

"Yes, President Raiden is buying plane tickets and preparing to rush back overnight."

"Tell him about Raiden Mei's situation and tell him not to worry. I will handle these things."

Upon hearing this, the head of the rehabilitation center hesitated for a few seconds, then nodded and left Raiden Mei's bedroom.

"Bella, let's rest in Raiden Mei's bedroom tonight."

"Okay." Bella nodded slightly. "Wait a moment, I'll go get a blanket."

Raiden Mei's bed wasn't big; it was just big enough for Qiu Bi and Raiden Mei to squeeze in.

Therefore, Bella had to choose to sleep on the floor, otherwise she would either have to stay up all night or return to the room where she was resting.

Bella didn't want to part with Qiu Bi, so she didn't hesitate to choose to "sleep on the floor".

After Raiden Mei falls asleep, Bella might be able to secretly get intimate with Qiu Bi.

……

The next day, early in the morning.

Raiden Mei's room.

Bella got up early, covered Raiden Mei with a blanket, and then went to prepare breakfast for Qiu Bi and Raiden Mei.

After what happened last night, Raiden Mei seems to be extremely insecure. She needs someone to be with her when she sleeps, otherwise she will feel restless.

Even in a deep sleep, one may unconsciously feel anxious and restless.

Therefore, Qiu Bi decided to let Bella sleep with Raiden Mei, while he would sleep on the floor.

However, in the dead of night, Bella took advantage of Raiden Mei's "lack of attention" and pulled Qiu Bi into "adult activities".

"Let's make porridge this morning..."

Bella murmured to herself, and as soon as she left Raiden Mei's bedroom, she saw Raiden Ryoma looking anxious.

"Good morning, Mr. Thunder."

Bella, behaving like a maid, greeted Raiden Ryoma.

Upon hearing this, Raiden Ryoma immediately asked anxiously, "How is my daughter?"

"With Qiu Bi's comforting words, Mei's emotions returned to normal, but she is still not fully awake."

"I heard it's 'self-harm'..."

"Thanks to the timely intervention, Mei only suffered some superficial injuries. The cause of this behavior is still unclear, and we must wait until Mei wakes up before we can conduct an investigation."

Bella concealed something from Raiden Ryoma, not telling him about the faint Honkai energy remaining in the corner of the bedroom.

Thunder Dragon Horse breathed a sigh of relief, then tentatively asked, "Can I go in and see my daughter now?"

"Of course, no problem. Mr. Raiden, would you like me to prepare breakfast for you?"

"Then I'll have to trouble you. But this kind of thing can be handled by a professional nutritionist."

"I prefer to take responsibility myself rather than delegate it to others."

Bella smiled and then slowly walked away, displaying the demeanor of a competent and elegant maid.

Chapter 81 Mei doesn't understand, but continues to withdraw into herself.
