You Have a New Job (Continued)

While taking a bath, in an attempt to save face, Kiana earnestly explained:

"Anqi, actually I have a strange illness."

"Um?"

"In situations where people talk for extended periods, such as during class or meetings, my head starts to ache, and eventually I slowly lose consciousness. The doctor at the infirmary said it's a terminal illness, and I can only tough it out on my own; there's no other way!"

"... Do you think I'd believe that?"

Anqi turned her head, her face flushed with water droplets, and her big, wet eyes stared straight at Kiana.

Kiana covered her face again.

"I should have brought a voice recorder with me!"

"Ha! I tolerated them taking notes in a notebook because you're the Schicksal one invited by Great Void Mountain. But if you pulled out a voice recorder, do you believe Titan would punch you through the window right there?"

Anqi said with a cold laugh.

Forced by Otto's unparalleled power and to avoid him losing his temper, Kiana didn't say anything even if she pushed her Shenzhou a little too far.

But if Anti-Entropy really takes out a recording pen in such a highly confidential setting and remains unmoved, then Shenzhou will really have something to say about it—if it's this cowardly, it's hard to believe that Anti-Entropy can withstand the pressure of Schicksal!

If Otto is dissatisfied and Anti-Entropy performs a show of retreating on the spot, what will happen to Shenzhou that is left behind?

Should we kneel and beg our ancestors to intervene, and then have the entire Shenzhou confront Schicksal?

"Besides, you've already missed your chance."

"Ah?"

"What? The negotiations are over. You didn't fall asleep during the final farewell, did you?"

"Hahaha! No, no, of course I heard it, hahaha..."

Kiana's laughter gradually subsided.

Under Anqi's calm, unwavering gaze, she gradually sank to the bottom of the water.

Only the bubbling bubbles on the water's surface spoke of Kiana's desire to carve out a three-room apartment with her toes.

The meeting is truly over.

However, in private, the two sides will definitely have a smaller, more secretive meeting to finalize the truly sensitive and confidential content.

Of course, there's no need to explain these things to the innocent and carefree Kiana.

Kiana only knew that she could travel and vacation in the surrounding area for the next few days, so she excitedly lifted Anqi up high.

"Really? Really? Is it really possible?"

"We came here on a mission, so it's normal for us to be a few days late. Since you've come all this way to Shenzhou, let me show you around. So, can you put me down?"

"No! Anqi is so light! So light! Wuhu, take off~~"

Kiana happily held Anqi up and spun around.

On one side, Kiana's joyful laughter echoed.

On one side was Anqi's reluctant yet helpless sigh.

Cang Xiaoxuan cupped his face in his hands, swung his chubby little legs, and grinned as he decided to add two more zeros to the travel budget for the two of them. Our Great Void Mountain Group may not be good at other things, but we have plenty of money. How could we let our little disciple be short of travel expenses to entertain his friends?

Fu Hua pinched her brow, her worry deepening. What to do? Anqi's doting on Kiana was getting worse. Could my lovely and filial little apprentice really have been swayed by this lecherous fellow?

But their thoughts had no effect on Kiana's mood.

Kiana only knew that she had a great time playing for several days.

Even the frustration of not being able to communicate properly with the Herrscher of the Void was greatly relieved as a result.

However, even the happiest days eventually come to an end.

A week later, Kiana returned to the school she so vehemently resisted—like a high school student whose summer or winter vacation was almost over.

"Ugh... I'm so tired... Why does my body feel so heavy?"

Kiana slumped onto Theresa's desk in her office, groaning weakly.

However, no one cared about her pain.

Everyone gathered together simply to check on Anqi's condition.

"She's fine, everything's normal. The people at Great Void Mountain really dote on her, and she seems even more lively over there."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Then Theresa took an envelope from the drawer and handed it to Kiana.

Kiana pinched it, then suddenly looked up.

"Auntie, did you give me my allowance early this month? That's great, I love you so much, Auntie!"

Kiana felt the thickness of the envelope, and moved, she cupped Theresa's face in her hands, forcefully lifting her from the office chair, her short legs kicking and struggling in the air. Then Kiana gave her aunt a big kiss.

"I've never seen such a thick envelope in my life! I'm so touched! Waaah!"

"Kiana!!!"

Completely disgraced, Theresa broke free and, in a fit of rage, punched Kiana to the ground.

Even after being struck hard and falling to the ground, Kiana still clutched the envelope, stubbornly raised her hand, and gave Theresa a thumbs up.

If getting beaten up once could get you such a thick envelope, that would be incredibly lucrative!

"Sigh—" ×n

After everyone sighed in unison, Raiden Mei squatted down and asked Kiana:

"Kiana, don't you really know what day it is in a few days?"

"Huh? What?"

"It's Anqi's birthday."

"Ha!?"

Kiana stood up straight.

Her response was Raiden Mei's helplessness, Himeko covering her face, and Bronya's childish voice:

"You stupid Cabbage Worm, Bronya knew you wouldn't remember."

"Who are you calling an idiot? You're the idiot... Wait, so you're saying this money is...?"

"Yes, it's about having that idiot Kiana prepare the funds for her birthday present. Bronya and everyone else have already made arrangements, only you are left."

"...cough!"

Kiana coughed lightly, looking at the envelope in her hand, feeling a slight pang of reluctance.

Then she suddenly shook her head.

No way, Kiana, Anqi has been so good to you, how can you be so stingy with such a small amount of money?

"Okay! It's decided. Watch me prepare the best birthday present!"

Kiana held up the envelope with high spirits.

The next second, she suddenly hugged Raiden Mei tightly.

"Mei! My Mei! Please help me, I can't do this alone QAQ!"

"Kiana... I just can't do anything with you."

Raiden Mei helplessly pinched Kiana's nose. After another period of separation, this long-awaited embrace and scent clearly put Mei in a good mood, and the smile on her face was exceptionally bright and gentle.
