Chapter 197: Girl·Bronze·King!

Got it! Then…

Wei Er Wei suddenly remembered something, and a mysterious smile appeared on her face.

She reached into her pocket, which seemed to be linked to a four‑dimensional pocket, fumbled for a moment, then with a swish, pulled out a disc shimmering with metallic luster.

Dang dang dang dang~ Look! I've repaired it!

She proudly held the disc up in front of her, as if displaying a remarkable trophy.

The others present might not understand, but Ailixiya's pink eyes widened slightly, showing genuine surprise: "Oh? Wei Er Wei, did you really fix that…?"

She remembered clearly that before Qianjie, during a wild outburst in the recreation room, she had destroyed that batch of "content‑exploding" treasured discs.

She didn't expect Wei Er Wei to silently restore them?

Of course!

Wei Er Wei confidently flicked her gradient hair, "A mere physical damage can't possibly trouble the all‑powerful genius engineer Wei Er Wei? Though the reconstruction took some effort, the result is perfect!"

She added deliberately, "I haven't even had time to look at it yet, and I'm already thinking of sharing it with everyone for 'appreciation, appreciation'!"

Yidian set down the wine glass, his golden eyes showing gentle curiosity: "Oh? Wei Er Wei, is this some special… performance record?"

She recalled that Wei Er Wei sometimes records daily or battle clips of the Ying Jie for "artistic analysis" or "technical improvement".

Ailixiya's smile turned a bit subtle, and she mumbled, "Uh… this, let's see first, actually I'm not quite sure what's inside~?"

She tried to slip through cutely.

Wei Er Wei let out a mischievous chuckle, her eyes scanning the hall slyly, making sure that a certain irritable chef was not present.

"Great, Qianjie isn't here… safe!"

She snapped her fingers and walked briskly toward the massive screen embedded in the side wall of the hall.

"Alright, everyone! Let's together unveil the true face of this 'Mysterious Restoration File'!"

Wei Er Wei said this while pushing the disc into the reader.

The screen lit up, and after a slightly flashy opening animation, several artistic letters that seemed to carry their own sparkling effects slowly floated onto the black background:

As everyone knows, among the thirteen Ying Jie, there is a king!

Eh?

Li Su Shang blinked her big eyes, being the first to ask, "There's still a 'king'? Master, has anyone among you claimed the title of king?"

She turned her head to look at Hua beside her.

Hua's usually calm face also showed a hint of bewilderment; she shook her head and said confidently, "Among the Ying Jie, there is no such title. Kaiwen is the leader, but not a 'king'."

This odd title successfully piqued almost everyone's curiosity.

Even Lian even tilted her head slightly, directing her gaze toward the screen.

The next moment, the title text faded, replaced by three more striking large characters, accompanied by a sound like blossoms blooming in a shoujo manga:

Girl·Bronze·King!

Then, beneath the character "King", a slightly smaller line of text quickly appeared and froze:

Ailixiya?

…

The air seemed to solidify in that instant.

Everyone's gaze, as if drawn by an invisible magnet, collectively focused on the pink‑haired girl on the sofa with an apparently innocent (?) expression.

Ailixiya's smile froze for a rare 0.1 second, then quickly adjusted into a subtle "oh, I've been caught" expression: "Ah? Is this… me?"

Xi Lian and Li Su Shang exchanged a glance, each seeing the same bewilderment in the other's eyes.

Li Su Shang whispered, "'Girl Bronze'… what is it? A new martial arts realm? Or a position in Letu?"

Xi Lian also shook her head, indicating she had never heard this term that Weng Fa Luo Si lacks.

However, before they could investigate further, the video had already started playing.

The first case is a terrace after a banquet of a bygone civilization, with beautiful moonlight.

In the footage, Ailixiya, slightly tipsy, leans affectionately on Yidian's shoulder, her fingers gently twirling his wine‑red hair, saying, "Yidian's hair is brighter than the starry sky, I wish I could watch it forever?" Yidian returns a gently indulgent smile, not pushing her away.

The camera also gave a close‑up of their almost‑touching lips.

The second case takes place in a laboratory.

Ailixiya "accidentally" knocked over the reagent Mei Bi Wu Si had just prepared, then under the pretense of helping clean up, she sidled up to the irritable Mei Bi Wu Si, her fingers "inadvertently" brushing his cold wrist and cheek, her tone sweet to the point of cloying: "Doctor~ don't be angry, getting angry makes you age, although you look good no matter what, right?"

Mei Bi Wu Si's expression at the time looked like he wanted to bite.

The third case, Letu corridor.

Ailixiya "randomly met" Pa Duo Fei Li Si, showing great "research interest" in the cat‑girl's fluffy ears and Tail, not only touching repeatedly but also rubbing her face against them, exclaiming, "So soft and warm! Pa Duo, does your ear have magical power?" which startled Pa Duo, causing the fur on her Tail to puff up.

Pa Duo, does your ear have magical power?!" The hair on Pa Duo's Tail flared up in fright.

The video, edited in a fast‑cut style with melodramatic background music and a perfectly timed pink filter, listed various interactions between Ailixiya and multiple female Ying Jie: when discussing swordsmanship with Hua, she suddenly leaned in to observe Hua's eyes; when Wei Er Wei displayed a new invention, Ailixiya hugged her from behind, praising "so impressive"; when serving as a drawing model for Ge Lei Xiu, she deliberately struck an ambiguous pose; and even said to A Bo Ni Ya, "Your voice always calms me, like a gentle restraint~?"

The video, edited with rapid cuts, paired with melodramatic background music and a perfectly timed pink filter, listed various interactions between Ailixiya and several female heroes: when discussing swordsmanship with Hua, she suddenly leaned in to observe the other's eyes; when Wei Er Wei displayed a new invention, she hugged the other from behind and praised "so impressive"; when posing as a painting model for Ge Lei Xiu, she deliberately struck an ambiguous pose; and there was even a moment where she said to A Bo Ni Ya, "Your voice always calms me, like a gentle restraint~?"…

"Girls are, of course, sweet and soft to be cute~?"

"Why must one choose? I like everyone, they're all my wings!"

"Seeing beautiful things lifts the mood; isn't that just human nature?"

"Seeing beautiful things lifts the mood; isn't that just human nature?"

The video ended, and the screen went dark.

The Letu Hall fell into a death‑like silence.

Time seemed to stretch several times longer.

The warm golden light still flowed, but it seemed to carry a scorching temperature.

Warm golden light still flowed, yet it seemed to carry a scorching heat.

Yidian slowly raised her hand, elegantly covering her lips, and looked at Ailixiya with a complicated gaze, a hint of helplessness in it.

Hua's slack, expressionless face seemed even more slack; she silently averted her gaze, staring at the ground, as if a rare, scarce night‑blooming flower had suddenly sprouted there.

Yet at the base of her ear, there seemed a faint, barely perceptible pink.

Ying's silhouette in the shadows seemed even more faint, almost merging with the background.

Li Su Shang remained clueless, but seeing the strange reactions of the surrounding great immortals, she vaguely felt as if she had witnessed something she shouldn't have, and instinctively drew closer to Hua's side.
