Cocolia smiled and prepared to control the biochip in Bronya's brain. However, seeing that Bronya was no longer under control, a subtle dark look flashed in her eyes, and she instinctively took a step back.
At that moment, Fu Lin flashed behind Cocolia, swiftly reaching out—one arm wrapping around her waist, the other grabbing her wrist tightly. With a firm squeeze, he made it impossible for Cocolia to break free.
Theresa cried out in surprise, "Fu Lin, you came too?!"
Cocolia winced from the pain, frowning slightly, and turned her head to look at the unfamiliar man who had suddenly appeared, her eyes full of shock but no words coming out.
"Miss Cocolia, you don't want me to do anything impolite, do you?"
------------------------------
"Miss Cocolia, you wouldn't want me to do something rude, would you?"
Fu Lin tiptoed and leaned close to Cocolia's ear, which was as fair as ice and snow, speaking softly.
His voice was low and magnetic, carrying an irresistible authority, but also revealing a faint warning.
Every word was like a breeze, gently brushing Cocolia's ear, making her frown slightly, with a flash of imperceptible disgust in her eyes.
However, Cocolia did not feel any fear from Fu Lin's words. Instead, she once again slightly raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a mocking smile, "Oh? I didn't expect St. Freya Academy to actually cultivate male Valkyries. Or is it that you're actually a woman, but your chest is just... flat."
"...But do you really think you can get the better of me?"
"I'm a man... Want to see if I can get the better of you?"
The corner of Fu Lin's mouth twitched. Why did it feel like he was getting persecuted again because of the Celestial Immortal just now? But looking at the still composed Cocolia, he couldn't help but reveal a smile that was difficult to interpret.
His hand, which had been placed on Cocolia's waist, began to slowly move upward. As his fingers moved, his facial expression grew more and more exaggerated, even almost cartoonishly expressive.
At this moment, he completely abandoned his usual seriousness, replaced by an unsettlingly lecherous aura.
"Wait... you're joking, right?" Cocolia's eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at Fu Lin. She never expected that this man would actually make such an outrageous move.
As Fu Lin's hand got closer and closer to her..., Cocolia finally could not maintain her composure.
Her face gradually flushed, a thin layer of sweat appeared on her forehead, and her eyes showed a trace of panic.
"Fu Lin, act normal." Theresa, who was standing to the side, couldn't bear to watch any longer and interrupted with a helpless tone, frowning slightly.
However, at this moment, Fu Lin seemed completely immersed in his own world, oblivious to Theresa's words.
Cocolia, in a panic, shouted loudly, "Didn't you hear? Your headmistress Theresa already told you to stop, why haven't you stopped!"
Her voice was full of urgency and anger, as if trying to frighten him into stopping.
Just as Fu Lin's hand was about to touch her..., Cocolia, unable to control her fear, instinctively closed her eyes tightly.
She dared not imagine what would happen next, especially being taken advantage of by a man in front of her daughter...
However, just as she closed her eyes and silently told herself it was no big deal, waiting for the impending disaster, the expected touch did not come.
Instead, the wrist that had been restrained suddenly felt a sense of release.
Cocolia opened her eyes in shock.
Fu Lin, with a blank expression, walked over to Bronya, crossed his arms over his chest, and under Bronya's resentful gaze, said with a teasing smile,
"I have no interest in women much older than me, Auntie Cocolia~"
After speaking, he turned his gaze away from Cocolia, as if she were truly a negligible existence.
Looking at Fu Lin's arrogant demeanor, Cocolia trembled slightly, reaching out a finger, but when she saw her obedient daughter nearby, she suppressed the anger burning in her heart.
"You... just you wait."
Then, she shifted her gaze to Theresa, once again regaining her former composure, crossing her arms as she said, "Theresa, please take a look around at the surrounding experimental pods. Once you know what's inside..."
"You'll understand that we are not actually enemies."
"If it were Einstein, maybe I could believe it, but as for you, this vixen, I absolutely won't believe a word you say..."
Theresa tightly gripped the massive and heavy Judah's Oath in her hands. Though her words were tough, her gaze involuntarily drifted towards the neatly arranged experimental pods around them.
When she finally saw the figure inside one of the pods clearly, she froze completely, her eyes widening, her mouth slightly agape, and she subconsciously muttered, "How... how is this possible!"
Cocolia stepped forward and, when passing by Fu Lin, glared at him, then leaned in close to Theresa's ear and whispered, "Now... let's make a deal."
Theresa's face darkened. Although she didn't want to listen to Cocolia, seeing the clone of Cecilia in the surrounding pods, she couldn't help but clench her fists.
She looked toward Fu Lin and Bronya and said, "Fu Lin, Bronya, you two go outside first..."
"Alright~ I'm leaving then?" Fu Lin waved his hand, then casually placed both hands behind his head and walked out of the cathedral, carefree as a passing cloud.
"Wait, Bronya." Cocolia suddenly called out.
Following behind Fu Lin, Bronya stopped when she heard the voice and turned around to look at Cocolia, her eyes filled with confusion.
Cocolia walked up to Bronya, stared at her injured legs for a moment, then asked, "What's wrong with your legs? And... are you really sure you can rescue Seele from that place?"
Faced with Cocolia's barrage of questions, Bronya firmly looked at her and replied, "Bronya's legs were healed by Fu Lin. As for Seele, Bronya has already seen her with her own eyes. Although Bronya can't bring her back yet,"
"But please believe in Bronya. As long as you give Bronya enough time, Bronya will definitely bring Seele back safely."
Bronya slightly nodded, expressing her determination and confidence. Especially when it concerned Seele, no matter how difficult it would be, she would never give up easily.
After saying this, Bronya turned and headed towards the door, leaving the space for Theresa and Cocolia alone.
