I have a high fever today, will update tomorrow.
My temperature was 40.4℃ when I woke up. I was drowsy while getting an IV drip and took a nap all afternoon to recover.
Although I will need IV drips tomorrow and the day after, my temperature has returned to normal and will not affect my writing updates tomorrow and the day after.

Chapter 383 Holy Marks That Can Level Up by Fighting Monsters
Summer, 2016.
After a long and agonizing wait, Janna and Wendy finally welcomed the moment of childbirth.
Perhaps it was a coincidence, but the two women gave birth very close together, with only a minute or two separating them.
Wendy gave birth before Janna, but the time of her unborn child's birth was almost the same as the time of Janna's unborn child's birth.
Mebius speculated that Wendy was a Herrscher, which led to a slight dystocia.
Whether this is true or not is a matter of opinion.
Compared to Janna and Wendy's genes, Qiu Bi's genes seem much weaker. The two newborn daughters are very similar to their mother, with only their black eyes being inherited from their father, Qiu Bi.
"Jana, Wendy, have you decided on a name for your daughter?"
"of course."
Gana gave a weak smile and continued, "Qiubi, our child will be named Hannah, 'Hannah Qiu'."
Although Janna can borrow some of the power of her original body in her mortal form, the essence of this clone is that of a mortal, and she will inevitably be very weak after childbirth.
In contrast, Wendy, as a Herrscher, recovered very quickly, and even without Qiu Bi's help, she did not suffer any physical problems.
However, without Qiu Bi's help, Wendy would have to endure a period of time and wait for her body to fully recover if she wanted to be intimate with Qiu Bi after so long.
“Chup, our child will be named Winnie, ‘Winnie Chu’.”
Wendy held the sleeping Winnie in her arms, and couldn't help but smile indulgently.
This was her and Qiu Bi's first daughter, which held extremely important symbolic significance.
Unfortunately, apart from being much stronger than ordinary people and possessing a stigmata resembling a ray, Winnie has no other special characteristics, which Wendy finds deeply regrettable.
Wendy and Qiu Bi are both Herrschers, the latter even being a multi-core Herrscher, to the point that Wendy subconsciously thought that Winnie would be a natural Herrscher after birth.
Of the four daughters recently born, Winnie is the healthiest, followed by Vivian and Tracy, while Hannah is the weakest.
Despite being virtuous wives and loving mothers with gentle and kind personalities, both Sofia and Alexandra were actually endowed with "D-rank Valkyrie physiques" by Qiu Bi, making them much stronger than Janna, who is an ordinary person.
Janna doesn't care much about this. With her main body as a backer, Hannah's future achievements will not be low.
"What are the uses of the stigmata of Gana, Vivian, Tracy, Hannah, and Winnie?"
Qiu Bi knew that the Stigmata of his four daughters were all created by Janna, but he knew nothing about the specific effects of the Stigmata.
Stigmata are not only a symbol of talent, but also possess special power.
The Stigmata of the Schariac family grants the host the ability to perfectly control Honkai energy, the Stigmata of the Kaslana family grants the host good resistance to Honkai energy, and the Stigmata of the Colorless family greatly enhances the host's ranged attack capabilities, but will greatly weaken their close combat ability.
In addition, Shigure Kira's stigmata allow her to freely control musical notes for attacks, and she also possesses a certain degree of frost power.
It can be said that each type of Stigmata possesses different abilities.
"The stigmata of my daughters originate from my main body. Although they will not have great power or ability from the beginning, they can raise their future potential and allow them to gradually improve and master their power."
Janna's explanation was somewhat ambiguous.
After realizing this, Janna appeared to be deep in thought, as if organizing her thoughts.
After a while, she explained again: "According to Galina, my Stigmata grant my daughters an ability similar to 'leveling up by fighting monsters,' allowing them to increase their strength through battle."
Since it's about "leveling up by defeating monsters," a reasonable data panel is naturally needed.
Galina showed great interest in this matter and had provided Janna with a suitable template long ago.
However, Janna's stigmata were too powerful, and awakening them too early would put a great burden on her daughters' bodies. Therefore, they were temporarily sealed by Janna, and they will automatically awaken when her daughters' physical condition meets the requirements.
Winnie was an exception.
Winnie's physique was originally very strong, and she was able to withstand the power of the Stigmata right from birth.
Considering that Winnie was a newborn and lacked understanding of the world, Janna chose to continue sealing the power of the Stigmata, and would unseal it when Winnie entered St. Freya Academy.
At that time, not only will Winnie's stigmata be unsealed, but the stigmata of the other three daughters will also be almost unsealed.
"Jana, do you need me to help you recover first?"
"Let's wait a few days. Experiencing this state of weakness for the first time is quite a novel experience."
Gana smiled weakly, looking down at Hannah sleeping soundly in her arms.
Since Janna and Wendy had just given birth, only Qiu Bi, Cecilia, and Yu Tu came to visit them so as not to disturb their two newborn daughters.
After all, Qiu Bi had too many wives and daughters, and it would be very noisy if they all came. Since the hospital was not a place where noise was allowed, Qiu Bi simply told his wives and daughters to wait patiently at home.
Seeing that Janna wasn't planning to leave the hospital anytime soon, Wendy decided to stay with her.
It is worth mentioning that after Qianjie discovered that Qiu Bi had a large number of daughters, he wondered if he was about to become a "kindergarten guardian".
Later, Qiu Bi gave a definite answer, which dispelled Qian Jie's doubts.
With Janna's true form protecting the Fog Sea Manor, there shouldn't be any major problems. On the other hand, the defenses of St. Freya Academy are relatively weak. Therefore, Qiu Bi asked Qian Jie and Ying Jie to stay at St. Freya Academy to protect the many students there.
Qiu Bi's daughters all attend St. Freya Academy, and Cecilia is the headmistress of St. Freya Academy, so naturally she deserves Qiu Bi's attention.
Qiu Bi, Cecilia, and Yu Tu accompanied Gana and Wendy until evening, then handed them over to the late-arriving Celine and Aurora, letting their two daughters stay with Gana and Wendy.
Qiu Bi, Cecilia, and Yu Tu enjoy their nightlife as a couple. They first wander aimlessly through the busier streets of Academy City, and when they lose interest, they find a hotel to rest.
"Hato, do you want to become the headmaster of an academy?"
"Headmaster? What's that?"
Yu Tu has spent most of his time in the World Serpent over the years, and when he goes out, it's always to carry out missions, so he's not very familiar with these worldly duties.
Cecilia linked arms with Qiu Bi, pondered for a few seconds, seemingly considering how to explain herself.
A few seconds later, she smiled and explained, "Actually, it's like a school principal, or—you can also think of it as the head of an organization."
Chapter 384 Magical Girl Contract
Yu Tu pondered for a moment, then looked at Qiu Bi and gladly accepted Cecilia's invitation.
Although she didn't know what the so-called "headmistress" position actually was, since Qiu Bi didn't object, she would naturally accept Cecilia's invitation, as it would help maintain her sisterly relationship with Cecilia.
"Sister Cecilia, what does the headmistress usually do?"
"Well... it's basically about assisting me with various documents and managing the students' studies."
“It sounds simple.”
"...So be it."
The principal's job sounds simple, but it is actually very busy.
Theresa once begged Cecilia to help her manage the huge St. Freya Academy because she didn't want to be bogged down by tedious work.
However, in the end, Theresa became a hands-off manager, leaving all the work to Cecilia, while she herself often secretly read comics.
Otherwise, Cecilia wouldn't have returned to Fogsea Manor so infrequently.
However, with Yuto's help, her work should be much easier.
"Qiu Bi, when are we going back to Fogsea Manor? The educational facilities near St. Freya Academy are very complete, with kindergartens, primary schools and even middle schools, so there's no need to worry about Vivian, Tracy, Winnie and Hannah's schooling."
Qiu Bi thought for a moment and replied, "Once Janna and Wendy have recovered, we can set off back to Mistsea Manor."
"Is there really a persistent thick fog at Fog Sea Manor?"
Yu Tu asked curiously.
She had heard about Fogsea Manor from Cecilia and the other ladies, but she had never seen it with her own eyes, and she was filled with great curiosity.
"Of course, but that's all in the past. Ever since Fogsea Manor moved to that island, Luna has dispersed most of the fog, leaving only a sparse amount of fog around Fogsea Manor."
Cecilia and Yuto chatted across Qiubi.
The sparse fog wasn't meant to obscure people's vision, but rather to maintain the presence of the fog maids.
Upon hearing Cecilia's explanation, Yu Tu nodded in understanding and then stopped asking about the Mist Sea Manor.
We'll be back at Fogsea Manor soon, so there's no need to pry now.
More than anything else, she was eager to begin their marital life tonight, since the next day it would be the other ladies' turn to share Qiu Bi with Cecilia.
"Qiu Bi, you won't get any rest tonight~ Hehe~"
Yu Tu revealed a playful yet sly smile, and took out a set of sexy clothes from the "portable space" given to her by Qiu Bi, seemingly hinting at something.
Without Yu Tu needing to remind her, Cecilia took out the exact same sexy lingerie, immediately arousing Qiu Bi's desire.
"Then... let's find a hotel to rest now."
Qiu Bi could foresee the situation tonight; he knew he would most likely not have a chance to rest.
He cannot rest until he has satisfied Cecilia and Yutu.
Cecilia is an S-rank Valkyrie, and even if she hasn't participated in battle for a long time, her physique won't weaken much.
Although Yuto is not an S-rank Valkyrie, as a manifestation of the Stigmata Space, her physique is equally strong.
With Qiu Bi's physique and strong kidneys, satisfying Cecilia and Yu Tu would be a piece of cake; it's just a matter of how long it would take.
……
Apartment building.
The heroes stayed in their respective rooms to rest, making the apartment quiet.
—Except for Padofelis's room.
