Bunny’s reply, tinged with a subtle tone of questioning, made Fan Zhuo’s heart skip a beat.
She… seems a little different from just now… right?
Must be an illusion…
Fan Zhuo suppressed the fluttering in his chest and stretched out his slightly trembling right hand.
“Then let’s start with the most basic terminal nerve conduction.”
He carefully grasped the delicate hand wearing white Lace Gloves.
The sensation was peculiar.
Through the thin layer of lace, he could feel the softness and warmth of the Bionic Skin beneath the gloves, but deeper inside, he vaguely sensed
a cold, hard skeleton.
Fan Zhuo closed his eyes and slowly infused a faint Holy Light Power into it.
One second.
Two seconds.
Nothing happened.
No divine punishment descended, no Soul Burning pain.
At the same time, unlike when he touched Alfea, there was no feedback of any power.
The divine energy within him was like a stagnant pool—utterly still.
As expected!
Fan Zhuo’s heart leapt with joy!
This meant Bunny truly was in a perfect “Gray Zone”!
Touching her would neither kill nor trigger any power growth.
She was like an absolutely safe Safe Figurine, able to…
“Lord Fan Zhuo, did you detect any abnormalities?” Bunny’s voice pulled him back from his dangerous thoughts.
“Hmm… the energy conduction is very smooth, with no abnormal reactions.”
Fan Zhuo released her hand, wearing an expression of “just as I thought,” and continued in a professional tone:
“It seems we need a more complex area, one that can bear the Core Function Region.”
His gaze subtly, slowly lowered.
Bunny followed his line of sight and glanced down at herself.
Her maid outfit hugged every curve perfectly—from her ample chest,
to the slender waist cinched by the corset, and down to the mysterious area hidden beneath the skirt…
Where exactly was the “Core Function Region”?
Bunny’s electronic eyes flickered again, as if running calculations and analysis.
A few seconds later, she lifted her head and said in a pure and earnest tone:
“According to my body structure, the legs bear seventy percent of the entire weight and have the most complex Hydraulic Joints. If you need to examine a complex structure, the legs should be the optimal choice.”
Fan Zhuo:
Good! Great assist!
“Cough, you make a very good point.”
Fan Zhuo suppressed his excitement and gave her a look of “a hero who thinks alike.”
“Then… I’ll trouble you.”
“Yes, my lord.”
Without hesitation, Bunny’s delicate hand wearing Lace Gloves lightly pinched the hem of her maid skirt.
Then, with Old John half-drunk and dozing in a chair nearby, completely unaware, she slowly, inch by inch,
lifted the skirt upward.
Forward.
Fan Zhuo’s breath froze in that moment.
As the skirt rose, the fleshy thigh wrapped in white over-the-knee stockings was revealed inch by inch, without any reservation.
At the top edge of the stockings, the exquisite Lace Trim tightly encircled the girl’s plump thigh, forming an intoxicating, deeply indented curve.
Above that was the absolutely forbidden zone, protected by both the stockings and the skirt…
Stop!
The skirt stopped right above that lace indentation—a near-perfect spot that fully exposed the “research area” without revealing any “core secrets.”
On the leg.
“My lord, is this height acceptable?” Bunny’s voice remained steady.
“Y-yes.”
Fan Zhuo felt his nose about to bleed again.
He knelt on one knee, striking the pose of a prince putting a glass slipper on his queen.
But inside, he was like a fanatic unboxing a limited-edition Safe Figurine.
He reached out, this time without hesitation, and pressed his fingertips directly on the area above the Lace Trim, tightly wrapped by the stocking.
Damn!
An unprecedented sensation, like an electric current, instantly spread from his fingertips throughout his body.
Soft, warm, and incredibly elastic.
Through the thin stocking, he could clearly feel the delicate Bionic Skin underneath, and beneath the skin, the muscles that slightly sank under his touch, then slowly bounced back—full of the vitality of life.
This… this is not a doll at all!
This was a living, breathing, top-tier girl’s thigh!
Fan Zhuo took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down and began his “research.”
He infused a stronger thread of Holy Light Power than before.
This time, the reaction was completely different!
The Holy Light Power was like a drop of water falling into boiling oil—instantly clashing and resonating fiercely with Bunny’s leg’s complex energy circuitry!
“Hmm…”
A faint, suppressed nasal sound, as if squeezed from deep within the throat, escaped from Bunny’s lips.
Fan Zhuo suddenly looked up.
Bunny’s body trembled slightly, and her sapphire electronic eyes’ pupils uncontrollably dilated and contracted, the data stream raging at an unprecedented speed.
On her eternally delicate face, for the first time, a faint, alluring blush appeared.
“Core temperature… rising rapidly…”
“Logic circuits… unknown… error…”
Bunny’s voice became choppy, no longer steady, tinged with a tremble and…… confusion.
Fan Zhuo could sense that his Holy Light Power wasn’t being absorbed but was like a key forcefully unlocking some sealed valve inside her.
A vast, pure energy flow was being drawn from her mechanical core, entangling, colliding, and merging with his Holy Light Power.
“Haah! …..”
Bunny’s hands unconsciously gripped the skirt, her body swayed as if struggling to stay upright.
“Hold on!”
Fan Zhuo didn’t stop but instead increased the Holy Light infusion.
He wanted to see where the limit was!
“OBA……”
This time, no longer a suppressed nasal sound.
A light moan, mingling pain and an indescribable comfort, clearly echoed in the room.
Bunny’s body shuddered violently, her legs softened, and she collapsed backward.
Fan Zhuo’s quick reflexes kicked in; he immediately retracted his hand and took a swift step forward, securely catching her soft waist from behind.
The figure in his arms was burning hot.
“Detecting… unknown emotion module… forcibly activating…
Activation progress… 1%……”
“Activation failed… requires… higher-level… ‘key’.”
Leaning against Fan Zhuo, Bunny panted heavily, her chest rising and falling violently, sapphire electronic eyes out of focus, filled with confusion.
Fan Zhuo looked down at her, waves of turmoil rising inside.
He… seems to have gone too far.
He hadn’t gained any power from Bunny.
But he seemed to have… personally “created” something extraordinary.
Just then, Old John, still dozing in the chair, seemed startled by that moan and mumbled indistinctly:
“Making such a ruckus… can people… even sleep…”
Fan Zhuo immediately released Bunny, and the two quickly separated.
Bunny tidied the slightly disheveled skirt, the blush on her face not yet fully faded.
She slowly turned and looked back at Fan Zhuo.
In those sapphire electronic eyes, the data stream had calmed, but something… was different.
It was a light that Fan Zhuo had never seen before in her gaze—a mixture of confusion, curiosity, and a hint of… reliance.
“Lord Fan Zhuo,” her voice had returned to steady, but if listened to carefully, there was a barely perceptible softness.
“The previous… ‘research’—
Do you… have any conclusions?”
