Chapter 32: A Bold Speculation
Loti Shana swiftly dropped to one knee upon seeing Bai, bowing her proud head with utmost respect.
The power within her reminded her constantly that Bai was the god she should look up to—someone she dared not offend or disrespect.
Considering Bai also protects the nation, she wouldn’t feel bad about knocking a few heads together in devotion.
At this moment, Loti Shana quickly understood the sudden appearance’s cause—it must be Bai’s idea. If Bai has something to say, then naturally she would listen intently, without any room for negligence.
“Good afternoon, Lord Bai, it’s lovely to see you again. May I ask what you summoned me here for?”
Even as a domineering loli queen with unparalleled authority below a single person and above ten thousand others, she had no bragging rights compared to Luo Xi.
For everything gained, she owed much to Luo Xi and Kuro. Without their help, she wouldn’t have stood before them unharmed. She might as well call them “reborn parents.”
“Not me who summoned you,” said Luo Xi, making her feel puzzled.
If so, then why was she there?
A different voice chimed in.
“In fact, it’s me who called you over ~”
Loti Shana turned toward the speaker, recognizing it as the silver-haired girl by Luo Xi’s side and another black-haired girl. Kuro had emphasized these two were actually the same person when introducing them.
Though it’s bizarre for a soul to occupy two bodies, if entities like Bai and Kuro, who are akin to gods, exist, it wasn’t too far-fetched.
But something bewildered her—these girls seemed like ordinary humans, with no traces of power in their bodies. Perhaps Bai didn’t gift them incredible powers?
Loti Shana’s mind was filled with questions about Night Star Lan’s identity while being curious to know why she’d been brought here. She suddenly felt a chill of foreboding.
Night Star Lan wandered around Loti Shana, scrutinizing her closely.
“What are you looking at?” Loti Shana felt very uncomfortable, especially since Bai was nearby. She couldn’t just snap.
It felt like her regal aura was diminishing bit by bit.
Moreover, Night Star Lan seemed like an ordinary human. In front of Bai and Kuro, she could throw away her regality, adopting an humble stance.
But with other humans, she wouldn’t be so submissive.
She was, after all, the queen of a great nation. Despite appearing petite and lacking any outward authority, she still had pride.
And in that moment,
Night Star Lan began to fondle Loti Shana’s purple-red hair, starting her torment play session.
Her future interactions with Loti Shana would never involve respect; Loti Shana would always be the little girl teased underfoot.
Whether in human form or during the “Star Eclipses” era, it was always the same.
“Gulp!”
Loti Shana stiffened, feeling a whirlwind of thoughts.
Who dared? Actually daring to touch the head of a dignified ruler?!
This was too disrespectful!
Considering that Great Bai was right there, shouldn’t her dignity be maintained?
Loti Shana intended to reach out and stop her.
However, under Luo Xi’s indifferent gaze and cold command, she held back.
“Let her,” said Luo Xi.
“Gurk…”
Loti Shana soon stopped resisting.
Allowing Night Star Lan to m*l*st her hair, she suddenly felt wronged.
Initially, she was a princess of a crumbling nation anyone could bully, now she was a mighty queen of a superpower.
Thinking she wouldn’t be bullied again, maintaining an imposing air all the time, she hadn’t expected someone could trample on her authority.
Such disgrace!
Loti Shana grew angry but bit her tongue for Bai’s sake.
Yeah, fine. Just think of it as a child fooling around.
Royalty has to show some tolerance.
Exactly!
Seeing Loti Shana’s stoic facade, Night Star Lan nearly couldn’t hold back her laughter.
Surely a daredevil but afraid of the consequences.
Luo Xi truly knows how to exert her influence.
If Luo Xi hadn’t spoken, Night Star Lan probably would’ve been pressed into the ground in humiliation by Loti Shana.
Considering she’s a regular human compared to Loti Shana, a legendary figure of “First Generation Stars,” the outcome wouldn’t be suspenseful anyway.
Only because of Luo Xi did she dare provoke Loti Shana.
After a bit more hair fondling,
Night Star Lan enjoyed herself thoroughly.
Occasionally playing with other lolas’ heads really is good for mental health.
Playing with her own and Luo Xi’s heads gets a bit old; lacks novelty.
“Mmm…feels the same, like both eras.”
Loti Shana asked, confused.
“Wha—what are you talking about?”
Night Star Lan rushed to cover it up.
“N-nothing, just my babbling. Don’t mind it.”
Once sated, Night Star Lan returned to sit beside Luo Xi.
She and Loti Shana weren’t familiar enough to keep touching heads; she preferred deepening bonds through conversation instead.
Even with Luo Xi’s backing, she didn’t want to go too far.
When Night Star Lan finally stepped away from Loti Shana, she sighed in relief.
These girls looked her age and petite, which made being pestered by peers awkward regardless of status.
She might tolerate it from Bai, even if he’s petite because his significance trumps mere human age.
Bai had earned her loyalty equivalent to rebirth, willing to let him lead her country and herself become an emblematic ruler.
Loti Shana glanced at Bai and Night Star Lan, catching an odd point.
Before, she wondered why the ordinary Night Star Lan could get so close to Bai.
Meeting her made her notice the lingering touch between them.
Again, Night Star Lan clung tightly to Bai’s presence.
What’s going on?
If it were her, she would never be so bold, even imagining such a thing impossible.
How can mortals touch divinity?
They probably sense their distance well.
Staring at Night Star Lan for a while, an outrageous suspicion flickered in Loti Shana’s heart.
Could it be that Night Star Lan has an extraordinary connection with Great God Bai?
