Chapter 144: This Trainee Fatui Harbinger is Too Unreliable [144] [DDD!]
December Double Drop!
---
The tension in the room was thick, as if time had come to a standstill.
"You two..."
Rosalyne was still in shock at the scene before her. She had met the Raiden Shogun once before and recognized her immediately. There was no mistaking it—this was the real deal.
But the sight of the proud and untouchable Raiden Shogun straddling Luo Qing's waist, holding a blade poised to plunge into his chest? That was a whole different level of surreal.
Not to mention, if the Shogun's position shifted even a little lower, it would reach... an unspeakable place. And that crazed look in her eyes—something was off.
Could it be that Luo Qing had seduced the Raiden Shogun, only to betray her with someone else? Was that why she was here in the dead of night to skewer him?
"Hmph..."
The Raiden Shogun snorted coldly, locking eyes with Rosalyne for a brief moment before turning her gaze back to the man pinned beneath her.
Her eyes seemed to ask: How many more women are you hiding?
But no matter what, she was still the ruler of Inazuma, and getting caught in such an unseemly position was unacceptable. With a wave of her hand, a barrier of crackling Electro energy enveloped Rosalyne, blocking her view.
In the blink of an eye, the Eye of Corruption opened once more. The Raiden Shogun grabbed Luo Qing by the collar, throwing him inside before swiftly following.
As the barrier dissolved, the room was empty.
Rosalyne remained at the doorway, stunned and bewildered.
"Where... where did they go?"
She frowned, staring at the empty room.
She had been ready for some prime entertainment, eager to see if the Raiden Shogun would actually drive a blade through Luo Qing's heart.
If she had, Rosalyne would have thrown a party.
"Luo Qing, just how many secrets are you hiding...?"
Regaining her composure, Rosalyne mused over Luo Qing's relationship with the Raiden Shogun.
For someone as aloof as the Shogun to show such a crazed expression, it had to mean something had happened between them. Had they... actually gotten involved?
Her gaze lingered on the battle-scarred floor, lost in thought.
...
Meanwhile, Seirai Island
The Eye of Corruption opened in the dark of the night.
Luo Qing was unceremoniously tossed onto the grassy terrain, sprawling out on the cold earth.
The Raiden Shogun emerged with slow, deliberate steps, her blade held at her side and a disturbingly obsessive glint in her eyes, making it clear that she wasn't done.
"Look..."
Luo Qing sat up, catching his breath, a note of exasperation in his voice.
"Shogun, can you at least tell me why you're doing this? If you're going to kill me, I deserve to know why."
"Hmph..."
The Raiden Shogun's snort was cold and dismissive.
"You know perfectly well!"
Without another word, her form shimmered like lightning, and the blade in her hand flashed as she lunged at him.
Without the confines of a room, her attack was exponentially more forceful, free of any constraints.
"Damn it..."
Seeing the lethal arc of the blade, Luo Qing didn't waste time. He activated Temporal Zero and summoned his Lithic Spear, intercepting her attack.
This time, the Raiden Shogun wasn't holding back—her intent was deadly serious.
Even though the killing intent wasn't overwhelming, it was clear she aimed to carve at least a couple of marks into him.
On the barren, rocky landscape of Seirai Island, two figures clashed, their weapons sending sparks of light into the dark sky, creating an echo of metal against metal.
Luo Qing knew that he couldn't defeat the Raiden Shogun in his current state—only the full power of his perfected Susano'o could hope to match her. But he wasn't about to reveal his trump card for a pointless confrontation.
Ducking and weaving to avoid her blows, he replayed the events of the day in his mind, searching for the trigger.
Finally, he pieced it together.
This woman! She must have seen him with Kamisato Ayaka today!
But he hadn't done anything inappropriate. They'd just walked around, shared some desserts, and she had hugged him goodbye—was that enough to warrant a midnight assassination attempt?!
Was the effect of the affection boost card so extreme that it pushed her to this?
Did just one innocent hug make her want to stab him in the gut?
What if... someone caught him kissing another girl? He'd probably be sliced into a hundred pieces!
The thought alone sent a shiver down his spine.
After a prolonged, heated chase across Seirai Island, Luo Qing found himself growing tired. Maintaining Temporal Zero for so long had drained him, while the Raiden Shogun—powered by a god's strength—seemed as relentless as ever.
Luo Qing knew he was running out of options. If he kept this up, he'd end up as a pincushion with seventeen stab wounds—still miraculously classified as "minor injuries."
"I'm warning you, don't push me..."
He shouted, his voice echoing in the dark wilderness. There was no one else around. It was just him and the Raiden Shogun, and at this point, dignity was the least of his concerns.
"Hmph. Or what?"
The Raiden Shogun's voice dripped with contempt. Before this confrontation, she had come to a mutual agreement with Ei: Luo Qing would receive precisely seventeen cuts, enough to deter him from seeking out any more women.
Afterward, they would gradually break him, turning him into their obedient plaything.
"Push me, and I'll..."
Luo Qing muttered under his breath, his mind racing. In a desperate gambit, he summoned a dozen Cat Imitation Emotion Cards and threw them at the Raiden Shogun.
His current mental strength might not have been enough to overwhelm a god-tier entity, but surely, a dozen at once would make her sing at least the first line, right?
"What..."
The Raiden Shogun's voice trailed off, her expression freezing. A strange compulsion formed in her mind, her hands lifting to mimic feline paws as she choked out:
"Let's... learn to... meow... together..."
Her entire focus was now diverted to resisting the compulsion in her mind. She had no energy left to pursue Luo Qing, and her blade clattered to the ground.
Across from her, Luo Qing had stopped running, turning to face the struggling Shogun with a sly grin.
"You... did this... meow..."
She stuttered, half-growling, half-purring, her body stiff and her face contorted with effort.
"Yep, it was me,"
Luo Qing admitted with a chuckle, completely unapologetic.
The effect of the emotion cards wore off, and the Raiden Shogun's eyes regained their clarity. She reclaimed her blade with a furious glint, ready to attack again.
But before she could take a step, Luo Qing hit her with another barrage of emotion cards. Her grip faltered, the katana slipping from her fingers once more.
She stood there, swaying, her face a mixture of rage and helplessness.
"You little..."
She seethed through gritted teeth.
"Still thinking about slicing me up?"
Luo Qing smirked.
"Well then, it looks like I'll have to offer a little... apology."
Before she could react, Luo Qing cupped her face in his hands and kissed her.
But this time, he didn't stop at a mere peck—his movements were more intense, his technique refined. He trailed his kisses from her lips to her neck, to the sensitive curve of her ear...
And the Raiden Shogun, for the first time in her life, was rendered utterly speechless.

Chapter 145: This Trainee Fatui Harbinger is Too Unreliable [145] [DDD!]
December Double Drop!
---
When it comes to dealing with a yandere, the best approach is a direct strike.
And when the yandere in question is someone like the Raiden Shogun, whose combat prowess is off the charts, you have to make your move before she pulls out the sword—go all in until she has no desire left to stab you.
The intense battle had come to a halt, and the night around Seirai Island turned silent once more. Only the sound of deep, passionate kisses could be heard beneath the pale-pink sakura tree, where Luo Qing and the Raiden Shogun were locked in an embrace.
At first, the Raiden Shogun resisted, even contemplating biting Luo Qing's tongue off.
But Luo Qing, who had strategically started with kisses on her neck, then moved to her collarbone, and finally traced the line of her ear, was relentless.
By the time their lips finally met, the effects of his Emotion Cards had long since worn off. Yet, she no longer had the will to resist.
In other words, Luo Qing had effectively... seduced her into compliance.
...
Meanwhile, Inside the Plane of Euthymia
Feeling the sensation that echoed in her mind, Ei's brow furrowed, and her grip on the light novel in her hands tightened, almost crushing the book.
They'd agreed to slice Luo Qing seventeen times and properly discipline him.
So why was her puppet now completely derailed after just one kiss?
It seemed like she'd have to intervene herself!
When Luo Qing entered the Plane of Euthymia next, she was determined to teach him a lesson he wouldn't forget.
...
Much Later
The two of them finally parted, both catching their breaths.
The Raiden Shogun's face was flushed, and she sat on the grass in a duck-like pose, still unsatisfied despite everything. Luo Qing, meanwhile, was almost dizzy with fatigue—his tongue practically numb from overuse.
Yet, the Raiden Shogun seemed unaffected, her inhuman endurance only highlighting the differences between a puppet and a human.
Looking at her, eyes shimmering with adoration, Luo Qing couldn't help but be amazed.
Thank goodness her affection levels weren't high enough yet—otherwise, their battle wouldn't have been confined to mere kisses. If they ever hit an affection level of ninety, he might actually end up dead in bed!
Nervously, Luo Qing pulled up the interface for both the Raiden Shogun and Ei's affection levels. He noted that the Raiden Shogun's affection was now at 65, while Ei's was at 55.
That was fast...
Luo Qing swallowed. It seemed kissing truly was the fastest way to raise a girl's affection! They'd only shared a few moments together, and already, the affection levels had skyrocketed.
If they kissed a few more times...
Recalling the desperate look the Raiden Shogun had given him moments ago, Luo Qing glanced down at his midsection with a sense of impending doom.
"Alright, Shogun, now that we're... calm, can you tell me why you tried to slice me up?"
Luo Qing sat across from her, arms crossed, his tone soft.
"Was it just because Ayaka hugged me today?"
"Isn't that reason enough...?"
The Raiden Shogun's voice was small, and she couldn't meet his eyes.
Her furious yandere aura had faded, leaving behind the image of a gentle and somewhat shy wife.
"But she was the one who hugged me!"
Luo Qing protested, bewildered.
"Why didn't you go after Ayaka instead of chasing me down? What if she was the one who seduced me?"
"..."
[Raiden Shogun's Frustration Value +1]
[Ei's Frustration Value +1]
"You definitely made the first move!"
The Raiden Shogun's tone was firm.
"And besides, the Kamisato Clan has served the Shogunate for generations. There's no reason to draw swords over such a minor incident."
"..."
Now it was Luo Qing's turn to be speechless.
So for Ayaka, it was a small matter, not worth pursuing, but for him, it was unforgivable—a reason to slash him seventeen times?
If they ever witnessed something more provocative, would they chop his head off and keep it as a trophy?
What kind of yandere mother-daughter duo is this...
"Are you... still mad?"
Luo Qing asked cautiously.
"Um..."
The Raiden Shogun hesitated.
To be fair, after that heated exchange, she did feel a lot better...
"Not as much as before..."
"..."
Watching her shy, blushing expression, Luo Qing had mixed feelings.
Crap... is she secretly an M too?
"It's getting late,"
Luo Qing said, standing up and glancing back toward Inazuma City.
"Shogun, you wouldn't mind if I stayed over tonight, right?"
"Huh?"
The Raiden Shogun froze for a moment. Her face turned crimson, and she hurriedly lowered her gaze.
"T-That sort of thing... my body... isn't..."
"What are you thinking? I just need a place to sleep, that's all."
Going back now meant Rosalyne would undoubtedly bombard him with endless questions.
And after that intense chase with the Shogun, all Luo Qing wanted was to get a good night's sleep.
"Oh... alright..."
The Raiden Shogun exhaled softly, standing up. She raised a hand, and the sword that had been stuck in the ground returned to her grip. With a single slash, she tore open a crack in space, a shimmering purple rift appearing.
"That... leads to the Tenshukaku?"
Luo Qing asked, surprised.
"Yes..."
She nodded, gesturing for him to enter.
Luo Qing eyed the glowing rift, thinking to himself that this mother-daughter duo really had some impressive abilities. This spatial teleportation was leagues better than his toilet portal.
Why did his system always give him such oddball tools?
A few seconds later, they stepped through the rift, emerging inside the Tenshukaku.
Luo Qing, without hesitation, sprawled across the familiar tatami mat where the Raiden Shogun usually meditated.
Exhaustion washed over him, and he shut his eyes. But within seconds of dozing off, he felt a piercing gaze on him. Opening his eyes, he turned to find the Raiden Shogun kneeling beside him, staring intently.
"You don't need to sleep?"
"This body is but a puppet. I don't require mortal rest to restore my spirit."
"..."
"Are you just going to... watch me all night?"
"Um..."
The Raiden Shogun hesitated, deep in thought, before shuffling to the top of the mat. She gently patted her lap, her voice tender.
"You could... rest here."
"..."
Luo Qing swallowed nervously.
He recalled the earlier chase when she'd tried to stab him in the gut. Lying down now seemed... risky. Who knew if she might suddenly draw a knife and stab him from behind?
Sensing his hesitation, the Raiden Shogun blushed slightly. She averted her gaze, avoiding eye contact.
"I... won't harm you anymore. You can trust me."
"Really?"
"R-Really."
"..."
"Well, alright then..."
After weighing his options, Luo Qing slowly lay down, resting his head in her lap.
The familiar softness of her thighs, the scent of sakura and the sea mixed with a hint of sweetness—it was all too familiar.
Sleep overtook him swiftly, and he stopped worrying about what the Raiden Shogun might do.
Slowly, he drifted off into a deep, undisturbed sleep.
