"You have eight more wives as lovely as Bella?!"
For the first time, Alicia showed obvious surprise, and one could vaguely sense a feeling of "envy".
"Cute... well, you can't say all of them are cute."
After careful consideration, Qiu Bi realized that the only lady who could be described as "lovable" was Bella.
Cecilia occasionally shows her cute side, but usually she is very gentle and kind.
In addition, the other ladies each possessed their own charm, but none of them had the charm of being "cute".
Even though Bella looks cute, she usually shows a capable and alluring side.
At the very least, Bella possesses "maid's self-cultivation (proficiency)" and has mastered a great deal of knowledge about "serving".
Bella personally demonstrated many techniques, enabling other wives to learn the same skills and increase the fun in their married life.
The next second, Qiu Bi suddenly came to his senses and realized that he had misunderstood.
"Putting that aside for now, Delta has cleared the Trial Grounds, so does Bella need to try again?"
"Of course! The Paradise of the Past is for individuals, not groups. The fact that someone else has passed the trial will not affect the participation of someone else in the trial."
Alicia composed herself, a slight smile returning to the corners of her lips. "Also—the device is fully tested and ready to carry Angeline. How about it? Shall we let Angeline try it out?"
As she spoke, Alicia looked at Angelin and met Angelin's calm gaze.
I'm going to play chess (just kidding).
Today, both Teamfight Tactics and Zhouzhou updated. I just started adjusting my reversed sleep schedule yesterday, so I'll be taking another day off!
Damn it...
I haven't been in the mood to write lately. I'm often so sleepy during the day that I can barely keep my eyes open, but at night I can't fall asleep at all, which makes me feel quite irritable...

Chapter 247 Bella's First Experience
Angeline hesitated for a few seconds, but ultimately rejected Alicia's suggestion.
"That's unnecessary. My experience with the Trial Grounds will only cause trouble for the subsequent trial participants; it will serve no other purpose."
Angeline is, after all, the Herrscher of the End, and most combat techniques are of little practical help to her.
Hearing this, Alicia was quite disappointed, but she didn't insist on anything and began urging Qiu Bi and Bella to enter the trial grounds.
"While you're in the trial grounds, Sirin, could you lend me some time?"
What do you need Xilin for?
"Oh dear, I'm going to be so bored here all by myself."
Angeline is not good at talking and usually quietly flips through books.
Therefore, Alicia could only wait with great boredom for Qiu Bi and the others to leave the trial grounds.
Sirin looked at Angelin, then at Alicia who was looking expectantly, and suddenly realized.
"Dad, let Delta accompany you into the trial grounds! Sirin wants to stay here with Angelin and Alicia, and she has more important things to take care of!"
"Something more important?"
Qiu Bi looked at Xilin with suspicion, feeling that what Xilin said about "more important things" didn't seem like a good thing.
Xilin clearly guessed Qiu Bi's idea and immediately pushed Qiu Bi towards the purple door.
"Oh dear~ Daddy, hurry up and take Bella and Delta into the trial grounds! With Sirin watching over them here, you can rest assured!"
"..."
Qiu Bi was very worried because Xilin was staying here.
As for Angeline...
She has always doted on her younger sisters, much like Celine, and therefore usually indulges Celine's behavior.
No matter what Sirin does, Angelin's strength can protect her.
As the only "Herrscher of the End" in this world, there is truly no one who can defeat her.
“…Angelina, you should keep a closer eye on Sirin.”
Sirin's intentions were obvious; she was simply trying to make Alicia her "mother," or perhaps she wanted to find out about other female heroes.
"Well, I see."
Angeline responded softly, her gaze already back on the book.
Seeing Angeline's appearance, Qiu Bi suddenly became even more worried.
After a moment of silence, Qiu Bi sighed and then pulled Bella into the trial grounds.
Delta pursed her lips and followed the two through the purple door.
Sirin watched the three enter the trial grounds, then smiled slyly, affectionately took Alicia's arm, and walked with her to the guest sofa.
"Sister Alicia, now that Delta has passed the Trial Grounds, shouldn't you introduce the other female heroes to Sirin?"
"Sirin, so the first thing you asked me about wasn't my recent experiences, but rather the other heroes? That's going to hurt my feelings~"
"Hehe~ Sister Alicia, Sirin likes you the most~ So, quickly introduce other female heroes to Sirin!"
"Oh dear~ You're really just brushing me off. But... of course I'll forgive Celine, because Celine is so adorable!"
As she spoke, Alicia gently rubbed Sirin's cheeks, causing Sirin to grumble in dissatisfaction.
"Alright! Since Sirin is so eager to meet the other heroes, I'll take you to meet them later."
Alicia chuckled softly, then continued, "However... I can't guarantee that the other heroes will be willing to see you."
"It's alright! They'll definitely want to see Celine!"
Xilin spoke with absolute certainty, as if she already knew other female heroes.
As for male heroes...
Celine said she didn't know him.
……
A place of trial.
Bella looked around curiously, experiencing this novel feeling for the first time.
"Qiu Bi, is it really true that we won't die here?"
"Well, you can think of it as a kind of 'virtual game,' except that all the senses are perfectly aligned with reality."
"Hmm... this does resemble the 'virtual reality combat system' recently launched by the Human Alliance."
The Human Union is composed of Destiny, Anti-Entropy, and World Serpent, and its full name is "Human Union Covenant".
Among them, the "Virtual Reality Combat System" is the culmination of the wisdom of the three organizations. It draws on some characteristics of the Trial Grounds and is ultimately a device used to enhance the Valkyrie's strength.
Unfortunately, the device only works on Valkyries below S-rank. It cannot help S-rank Valkyries improve their strength, nor can it help A-rank Valkyries break through to S-rank Valkyries.
Qiu Bi had heard about this, but had not looked into it in depth.
After all, among the many girls in Fog Sea Manor, apart from Qiu Bi's wife, only the daughters who are still in school have no need for the "virtual reality combat system".
The only person who can use the device is Anna, but she is currently undergoing Cecilia's "special training" and therefore doesn't need it.
It's worth mentioning that Rosalia and Lilia are quite eager to experience the "virtual reality combat system".
Based on the two girls' statements, they clearly regarded the device as a "hide-and-seek simulator".
"Bella, give it your all, hopefully you can pass on the first try."
With Bella's strength, as long as she is careful, she should have no trouble passing through the Trial Grounds, unless she encounters those powerful "BOSSes".
At the very least, Bella could never defeat Celine.
"Ah."
Bella nodded slightly, then slowly walked towards the Honkai Beasts and Death Warriors lingering not far away.
Without Bella needing to attack, the lightning wings that appeared behind her flapped, and lightning balls appeared, instantly killing Honkai Beasts and zombies.
"The Honkai Beasts and the zombies are stronger than those outside, but they're still not enough..."
Bella murmured softly, then turned to look at Qiu Bi and Delta, and smiled.
"Qiu Bi, the enemy has been dealt with, we can continue forward."
Upon hearing this, Qiu Bi slowly walked towards Bella, then reached out and took her hand, leading her towards the purple door that had quietly appeared.
Delta, recalling Bella's performance, couldn't help but feel somewhat discouraged.
In terms of performance when first entering the Trial Grounds, Bella was undoubtedly far superior to her.
Bella's triumphant progress, displaying elegance and strength, actually made Delta quite envious.
Delta currently lacks ranged attack methods and cannot move as easily as Bella, usually requiring close-quarters combat.
However, the final "BOSS" that Bella encountered took the three of them by surprise.
—It was Delta.
Moreover, Bella encountered Delta, who was clearing the Trial Grounds.
Delta recently defeated "BOSS Bella," and now that her identity has changed, there's still not much suspense.
In fact, Bella's underestimation of her opponent led to her defeat even faster.
The debuff has stacked five times; I'll definitely get it tomorrow!
I just went to the hospital today to buy medicine for a cold, fever, bronchitis, stomach upset, and mouth ulcers...
It hurts! It hurts so much!
Tomorrow I will definitely resume the normal two updates a day, as for today...
