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

Xilin waved her hands excitedly, her delicate yet youthful face filled with joy.

Cecilia frowned slightly, gently stroked Sirin's hair, and asked Shigure Kira in a low voice.

"Qiluo, do you know Qiu Bi's and that woman's identities?"

"Huh? I don't know!"

Shigure Kira was indeed unaware of the relationship between Qiu Bi and Alexandra, but even if she did know, she would not tell Cecilia the truth.

After all, she was still waiting to attend the banquet. If Qiu Bi and Cecilia's relationship ran into problems, wouldn't she be unable to attend the banquet?

The thought of such a thing is terrifying, so we must never let it happen!

Shiyu Kira silently made up her mind and racked her brains to come up with a reasonable explanation.

Before Shigure Kira could figure it out, Salome explained Alexandra's origins.

"Her husband was unlucky; he was crushed to death by the collapsing wall, leaving her and her daughter to depend on each other for survival."

"Qiu Bi couldn't bear to see the mother and daughter depend on each other for survival, so he asked me to bring her over. After we resolved the current situation, I would then go and bring her daughter to live with us."

Salome deliberately concealed some things, such as that statement that seemed both threatening and true.

Upon hearing this, Cecilia nodded in understanding, then smiled with satisfaction.

"Cilyn, your father is a good man."

"Hmph! Of course! Sirin is the strongest magical girl, so of course Daddy will be the best person!"

Celine proudly raised her head, as if Cecilia was praising her, not Qiu Bi.

Beside her, Shub hesitated, seemingly wanting to say something, but after Salome gave her a hard tap on the head, she decisively gave up the idea of ​​speaking.

"Stupid dog, don't say such strange things at the wrong time."

"Salome, do you want to fight?!"

Shub was immediately enraged, rolled up her sleeves, and made as if to pounce on Salome.

Salome glanced at Shub, the magnetic blade silently positioned in front of her. If Shub made any move, the "Twin Blades" would immediately activate, restricting Shub's mobility.

Seeing this, Shub's angry expression froze, and then she gave a wry smile and said nothing more.

Although both of them are currently S-class Valkyries, Shub might not necessarily be able to defeat Salome, but a life-or-death battle is a different story.

"Honestly, don't think you can do whatever you want just because you got here first!"

"Sorry, you stupid dog—being first does indeed allow you to do whatever you want."

Shub and Salome bicker frequently, but these days Shub usually dares not speak out against them.

If Shub had dared to be angry and speak out, the two might have already started fighting by now.

Before long, Chubi and Alexandra returned to the top floor of the Tower of Babel, only to find Salome and Shub bickering incessantly.

If the two hadn't looked like they were about to fight, Qiu Bi might have thought they were just bickering.

"What happen to you guys?"

"nothing."

Salome shook her head and retracted the magnetic blade.

Seeing this, Shub seemed to gain confidence and stared at Salome without fear.

Salome ignored this and pretended not to notice Shub's gaze.

"Qiu Bi, didn't you inform Patrick?"

"Huh? This... I almost forgot about Patrick."

Immediately, Qiu Bi hurriedly instructed Xilin to take Patrick to the top floor of the Tower of Babylon.

Chapter 42 The Advantages of Married Women

As everyone was leaving the Tower of Babel, Qiu Bi specifically instructed Sirin to blow up the Tower of Babel and create a scene of the Honkai reactor overload and explode.

Xilin naturally wouldn't refuse Qiu Bi's order, since she herself didn't like this facility that held painful memories.

However, before destroying the Tower of Babylon, Sirin specifically teleported all the Valkyries near the Tower of Babylon to a distance to prevent the explosion from affecting them.

As for Cheng Lixue, whom I haven't met yet...

Qiu Bi ultimately chose to keep his promise to Cecilia and voluntarily led the girls, including Xilin, to "leave the stage."

Compared to Cecilia, Cheng Lixue seemed rather insignificant.

Thus, the Second Honkai War lasted for less than a month before ending with the explosion of the Tower of Babel.

No one knows whether the Second Herrscher is dead, but there is no doubt that the Second Herrscher has disappeared and will no longer wreak havoc on the world.

The total number of casualties in this Honkai War was only five: S-rank Valkyrie Cecilia Schariac, A-rank Valkyrie Patrick Highsmith, A-rank Valkyrie Salome Jokanan, A-rank Valkyrie Shub Nicholas, and A-rank Valkyrie Shigure Kira.

Just like the Second Herrscher, no one knew whether the five members of the Snow Wolf Squad were dead. After the search yielded no results, Schicksal had no choice but to include the five in the list of sacrifices.

The death of Schicksal's strongest S-rank Valkyrie caused quite a stir, especially within the Shaniat family, where it stirred up a great upheaval.

Ultimately, Maria Shaniat, the "candidate saintess," naturally ascended to the position and became the new saintess of the Shaniat family.

Although Maria Shaniat's strength is only that of a B-rank Valkyrie, given her talent, she will surely become an S-rank Valkyrie in time.

However, Maria Schariac refused to believe that her beloved and revered Cecilia had died tragically in the Second Honkai War, and secretly prepared to search for Cecilia's whereabouts.

Meanwhile, due to Cecilia's "death," the marriage between the Shaniat family and Siegfried ultimately fell through.

Maria Shaniat is still a minor, and elevating her to the position of saint is already the limit. The Shaniat family would never allow her to marry into the Kaslana family.

After all, apart from Maria Shaniat, no one else in the younger generation of the Shaniat family could inherit the title of "Saintess".

The various upheavals of Destiny did not affect Qiu Bi and the others. Qiu Bi had already left the Siberian border with Sirin and Alexandra and went to Alexandra's place to pick up Bronya who was staying at home.

As for Cecilia, the Snow Wolf Squad, and the other four members of the Magical Girl Squad, they will stay at Sirin's house for the time being, waiting for Qiu Bi, Sirin, and Alexandra to return.

During this time, Cecilia's mother seemed to have noticed something and took the initiative to chat with Cecilia, subtly inquiring about Cecilia's relationship with Qiu Bi.

The greatest advantage of a married woman is not only her rich experience, but also her understanding nature; she won't make a fuss over trivial matters.

Therefore, after learning about Cecilia and Qiu Bi's relationship, Cecilia's mother took the initiative to talk to them and build a good relationship so that Qiu Bi could better manage family relationships in the future.

Qiu Bi was completely unaware of this.

At this moment, Alexandra, arm in arm with Chubi, was devising words to explain herself so that Bronya would accept Chubi's explanation.

However, considering that Bronya is still young, even if she is unwilling to accept Qiu Bi now, she will take the initiative to accept Qiu Bi's existence after spending time together.

Where is my sister?

Riding on Qiu Bi's shoulders, Xilin looked around excitedly, hoping to see her younger sister soon.

Qiu Bi supported Xilin with one hand to prevent her from falling off his neck, and then said helplessly, "Bronya is resting at home—Xilin, you should get down first, otherwise it will be inconvenient to enter the house later, and it might leave a bad impression on Bronya."

"Oh? Then Celine will come down right away!"

sound off.

A purple void flashed by, and Xilin landed lightly in front of Qiu Bi. She then patted her dress and took Qiu Bi's hand.

"Dad, Celine is ready!"

"Ah."

Qiu Bi nodded, then looked at Alexandra.

"I'll open the door."

Alexandra released Qiubi, took the key out of her pocket, and slowly opened the door, seemingly afraid of disturbing Bronya.

Squeak!

The door opened softly, revealing the interior to everyone.

Alexandra froze on the spot.

Unlike the neat and clean house when I left, the house is now very messy, and the walls and floors are covered with strange graffiti.

Qiu Bi thought some kind of accident had occurred, so he immediately shielded Xilin and Alexandra behind him and carefully walked into the entrance hall.

however……

A petite girl is lying on the living room floor, holding a lipstick in each hand, writing and drawing on the floor.

Hearing Qiu Bi enter the living room, the girl looked up at him, revealing a face covered in lipstick.

Upon seeing this, Qiu Bi fell silent, as if he had anticipated what was about to happen.

"Qiu Bi, my daughter should be alright, right?"

"Your daughter is fine, it's just that..."

Qiu Bi paused for a moment, which immediately made Alexandra nervous.

Then, Qiu Bi organized his thoughts and continued, "There might be a big problem with your lipstick."

"Lipstick?"

Alexandra paused for a moment, then her expression changed drastically. She hurriedly walked into the entrance hall, only to see Bronya holding two lipsticks. She felt a wave of dizziness and almost fell over.

If Qiu Bi hadn't helped Alexandra in time, she might have collapsed to the ground.

For any woman, having her lipstick used as a paintbrush to scribble on is an unforgettable hellish experience.

Alexandra slumped in Qiu Bi's arms, her vision filled with strange lines drawn with lipstick.

“This, this… Bronya…”

Alexandra stammered, unable to utter a complete sentence.

Bronya heard her mother's voice and suddenly realized that she seemed to have gotten into trouble. She quickly dropped her lipstick, scrambled back to her room on all fours, and then skillfully hid in the closet.

Alexandra took several deep breaths to soothe her grief.

Then, she forced a smile and said, "Qiu Bi, I'm sorry, you must have found this amusing."

"No... Alexandra, are you alright?"

"I'm fine, I'm doing very well right now."
