Chapter 95 Taming

Three days later, the energy brought by the cleanup operation - mainly part of the energy of the Dark Spider Mother taken from the devil - was successfully aggregated and would be distributed to various departments to support different plans.

Of course, there was a lot of turmoil during the process, but fortunately the final arrangement was satisfactory.

"…In summary, Chen Xiao'er's physical changes and the degree of evolution of her superpowers are still within normal range."

Milo finished reading the record sheet in his hand. This was a summary of the observations of Chen Xiao'er by various instruments and personnel.

Everyone thought she was "normal".

Chen Xiao'er is in good health, has no contamination, and is emotionally stable. Even if the school workers deliberately say or do something to provoke her, her reaction is similar to the record when she enrolled: restrained and polite.

A line of unpleasant words flashed on the screen.

[“She is so valued by our God, she must have some special talent.”]

No one, including Miroku, commented on this statement. After all, everyone had already had a thorough and necessary discussion on the day of the incident.

They concluded that they should continue to train Chen Xiao'er according to the previous plan without giving her any special treatment or excessive interference.

The reason is simple. From the very beginning, [Glorious] has been driven by idealistic [love]. Its goodwill towards kind humans is a program setting.

This kind of attention does not necessarily mean that Chen Xiao'er is some kind of special existence. It is even more arrogant to regard her as the "savior of the world".

Perhaps more than a hundred years ago, some people would still expect the appearance of a savior and make up stories about the Daughter of Light or the Son of God. Modern people are no longer so naive and blindly follow others.

Even if Chen Xiao'er really has the potential to become the savior, judging from her evolutionary speed, it will take at least several decades, and humans may not even exist by then.

Since she couldn't leave the Glorious Church anyway, she could just slowly train her. The Church had so many plans for salvation, and they certainly didn't lack a [Savior Training Plan].

A cold, black message flashed across the screen. ["Alright, if you have any objections to the resource allocation results, please raise them immediately. Otherwise, it will be deemed as your agreement. You are prohibited from harassing other colleagues after this meeting."]

The list flashed frequently, with squares marking the energy that could be allocated to each plan.

Milo frowned in pain, and sure enough, the quarrel started again on the big screen.

"Why only give me one slot? We're the main force in the hunting operation!"

"Stop kidding! It was the Apostle Cluster's credit that we were able to finally seize the resources from the devil!"

"Wait a minute, I remember Chen Xiao'er was the main bait that attracted the devil. She's a student."

"Chen Xiao'er is also part of our Apostle Project!"

"Forget about Apostles, Apostles. The Apostle Cluster has already taken up five grids—is there any need to research new weapons for them? Why not just change the Church of Radiance to the Apostolic Church?"

…

[Milo: Everyone, I still have some information to sort out. I have no opinion on the resource allocation plan. Please allow me to take my leave.]

Professor Milo stood up from her seat, picked up the folder, opened the door, and walked quickly down the corridor.

"It's so suffocating, wasting time arguing. But there's nothing we can do about it. An ant on the hot pot will always dance."

She saw her own reflection in the mirror.

Milo walked silently into the elevator, and an elegant woman who looked exactly like her emerged from the metal wall of the elevator.

She spoke with compassion: "If humans lose their emotions, are they still truly human? If God draws his emotions from humans, then is he a human, a god, or a man-made creature?"

Miroku didn't answer. She waited for the elevator to open and then stepped out with her boots firmly on the ground.

Snap, snap, snap, snap.

Her steps became faster and faster, leaving mirrors, metal doors and tiles behind her.

Milo quickly ran to the office door. She gripped the doorknob and took a deep breath. "This is the human base. There are no demons here. I don't need to worry about hallucinations. I'm just under too much pressure lately."

Click, the door opened.

"Hey." The blonde devil was lazily sitting on her desk, her legs crossed and her shoes almost stuck in the wastebasket.

“…Ha~”

Milo looked at Xinaya with a bored look, and tried to close the door - but he couldn't close it. He inserted one hand firmly into the gap between the doors, blocking the door tightly.

"Hmph." Sinaya glared with her emerald eyes and raised her face provocatively.

Okay, then don’t turn it off.

The professor opened the door again and walked in with his head held high, without a trace of panic in his steps.

Miroku walked over to the desk and tapped the corner of the folder, then stuffed it into the corresponding cabinet.

She meticulously tidied up the table that was messed up by the devil, adjusted the position of the wastebasket and the chair, then put on a new pair of gloves and sat elegantly on the sofa farthest from Xinaya.

The professor's eyes were more weary than the devil's. "I remember you owed me a request. Are you here to fulfill it now?"

Suddenly.

The long golden hair was like a dazzling flash of light, instantly enveloping her vision.

Sinaya looked down at her arrogant kin and declared in an equally arrogant tone: "Ah, yes, I am here to fulfill my promise. Tell me your request quickly, and I also need your assistance-"

"Shhh."

Miroku placed his fingers on her lips through his gloves, then pushed back with a firm force. "My request is not something you can easily fool around with. I need more energy now. Can you give it to me?"

Xinnaya's face suddenly turned cold.

When demons ask for energy from each other, it is the same as when humans borrow money from each other without writing a promissory note.

She said coldly, "Are you teasing me? Trading that little bit of intelligence for energy...are you helping those humans weaken me?"

"In your eyes, is Chen Xiao'er's intelligence so cheap?"

Milo raised his eyes, his amber-gold irises filled with teasing. "Or is it that the reason you're so eager to fulfill your promise this time is because it has nothing to do with Chen Xiao'er?"

Tsk.

Xinnaya felt annoyed and a little embarrassed.

If she had followed her old ways, she would have simply treated this uncooperative "fellow tribe member" as a mere snack. However, firstly, she didn't know the true strength of this "person" in front of her, and secondly—I needed a companion.

Even if it's just one, even if it's just a companion who can betray me at any time, I really need it.

Since Chen Xiao'er was able to incite many abnormal people of the same human race and even non-human races to target me, there was no reason why I couldn't do it.

The desire for power and advancement in rank drives the devil, and instinctive greed is the driving force behind its evolution.

[Want to defeat Chen Xiao'er, want to devour Chen Xiao'er, want to usurp Chen Xiao'er's power.]

To this end, Xinnaya barely suppressed the restlessness in her heart and said in a self-proclaimed pleasant tone, "Let's put aside the price to be paid for now. Why don't you listen to my needs first? I just need a chance to be alone with Chen Xiao'er outside of school. This should be easy for you, right?"

Alone?

Miroku's brows relaxed slightly, and he let out a faint, sarcastic laugh: "Hey~ So you're so afraid of this human that you're willing to fight him alone?"

“.…..”

Killing intent surged in her chest, and Xinaya raised her fangs dangerously: "Oh, you've been hanging around with humans for too long, and you've overlooked their cunning."

"Ignore... huh~"

Milo sighed softly. Before the devil lost his patience, she leaned forward and spoke clearly, "Let me give you some advice. If you really want Chen Xiao'er, understand humans—understand their hearts."

Huh? How dare you say that! Don't I know Chen Xiao'er?! I know her much better than you do!

Countless images emerged in Xinaya's mind, every moment was so vivid and clear, with the fresh scent of blood.

She wanted to loudly mock the fellow tribesman in front of her, and tell her, "I think you've lost your mind. You've been in a crowd for too long and have developed unrealistic delusions."

But looking at Milo's calm and even slightly sympathetic eyes, her swollen confidence suddenly stagnated.

Do you really know Chen Xiao'er?

She was unable to answer the silent questions from her fellow tribesmen.

Of course, she knew Chen Xiao'er's height, weight, the approximate way of energy output, and every vibration of her soul. No one knew these better than her.

However, even with all these skills, she was always at a disadvantage whenever she met Chen Xiao'er - to be more precise, she always thought she had the upper hand, but then she was pushed into a trap by this talented actor.

Chen Xiao'er is a top pleasure-seeker. She always lets me get something first and then takes it all away from me.

I am stronger now than when I first met Chen Xiao'er.

I absorbed some of the energy stone and the spider's power, but the bulk of it was taken away by the people she sent.

Wait, what on earth is this behavior of giving a little sweetness and then keeping distance considered among humans... Damn, I really don’t understand humans, let alone Chen Xiao’er!

Thinking of this, Xinnaya couldn't care less.

She looked at her fellow humans and asked earnestly, "Hey, since you're half-human, tell me: Under what circumstances would humans give a foreign species some sweet treats to increase its strength, and then help other humans deal with it, taking away most of the prey?"

Milo was silent for a long time this time, and the sympathy in her eyes made the devil extremely anxious.

Finally, even this fellow tribesman couldn't maintain his elegant demeanor. He pushed his glasses up sheepishly and uttered two words. "Dog training."

“…”

Dog Training

[Train the dog, train the dog, train the dog, train the dog——]

The moment he realized the truth, pure emotion gushed out from his core, almost boiling all the strength in his body!!!

“Haha ...

Xinaya's eyes were bloodshot, and her body made of pure energy could no longer maintain stability. Her long golden hair turned into strands of bright purple light, flying around the office.

No, I can’t let her do this anymore!

Milo stood up from the sofa under the vibrating energy. Every step she took required a lot of energy to fight against the resistance.

A strange yet familiar feeling awakened within her, surrounding her body.

The body seemed to have never been so full and yet never been so empty, the mind seemed to have never been so clear and yet never been so detached.

It's her

It’s me

A magnetic and deep laugh sounded in his heart. Milo temporarily ignored the increasingly clear laughter in his ears and reached out to the devil's rampaging energy core.

"Just be quiet."

As if some kind of law took effect immediately, the energy in the office - her territory - began to rotate in the opposite direction, remaining relatively still.

Sinaya opened her eyes from the claws, her emerald eyes filled with anger and blood.

And Miroku simply lowered his head calmly amidst her overwhelming rage, and touched his forehead to hers.

The professor whispered word by word into the devil's ear: "Do you really want to be so obsessed with a human being?"

"So what?"

hehe.

That's really interesting.

Familiar laughter filled the air.

[“Then—when will you start calling her Master?”]

“——” The emerald eyeball turned into pure light, brewing a storm deep in its core!

Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Milo easily distanced himself and turned around to walk back to the coffee table.

She leaned over and pushed up her glasses. "Alright, I already know your intentions and your leverage. Return my last help and next intelligence with enough energy. Oh, and the psychological consultation was free."

Xinaya glared at this damned fellow, but she also knew that this sentence was just a step forward, and the two-for-one concession was enough to pay for the offense.

Although it was harsh to hear, Miroku's analysis of the situation was very pertinent.

If I stayed and kept talking, it would only prove that I had an extraordinary obsession with Chen Xiao'er.

Damn it—

The devil's figure disappeared in an instant and fell into the abyss like lightning.

She no longer wanted to stay in the human base. She had to go back quickly to think of a way, dig a trap, and make a decision that would be enough to wipe out Chen Xiao'er!

Tamed? Death is impossible, and I can't die either.

Chen Xiao’er, just wait for me—before I completely devour you, I will use every possible means on you, making you kneel on the ground and be as docile as a dog!!!

…

After Xinaya left, Milo picked up the teapot and put the tea bag into the cup.

Crash.

The silver spoon stirred the water, and a layer of fresh green floated on the surface of the tea.

Click.

She staggered and dropped the teacup onto the table, nearly breaking it into pieces.

No, no... there's still one devil left. Miroku held his wrist, barely able to control his body.

"Huh? Why would I leave?"

All the glass on the tabletop had been removed, and even the mirror was reduced to a vanity mirror that could be covered at any time. But Milo's face still appeared in the teacup, on the clock, and of course in the window behind the curtain.

“Huha…”

Milo took a deep breath, her heart was beating frighteningly fast.

The usual way of dealing with this is ineffective. If I don’t want to be discovered by the organization, I can only… Oh, there is another way.

"Chen Xiao'er."

[“Chen Xiao’er~”]

Milo ignored the ambiguous chuckle in his heart and pulled the door open forcefully.
