"Huh? What are you doing... Pfft! Hahahaha... I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it... Shen Gonglin, you're actually jealous of Mei... No, how did you even think of being Mei of Mei?"

Kiana thought something had happened, but after hearing what Shen Gonglin said, she couldn't help but burst out laughing. She had been wondering if Shen Gonglin disliked her in some way, and she had been Shen Gonglin for so long. She never expected it was because of this. Mei was jealous of Mei. This girl... she's too cute!

"...If you laugh again, believe me or not I'll make sure you never laugh again."

Shen Gonglin stared blankly at Kiana with dead fish eyes. This girl was still laughing. Didn't she know how petty Shen Gonglin was? Looking at Kiana, who was laughing so hard she was almost out of breath, Shen Gonglin looked her over and decided to give her a harsh lesson. No one in this world dared to laugh at Shen Gonglin. If she continued like this, she would have no choice but to be ruthless and make Kiana pay a heavy price.

Chapter 374 The Jealous One

"Yes, I'm sorry, I won't laugh anymore... I really won't laugh anymore. I, I was just a little surprised... Why would you think that? Mei is Mei. It's normal for Mei and Mei to be close. How could you think of something like that? Shen Gonglin, what's wrong with your head?"

Seeing Shen Gonglin's darkening expression, Kiana knew he was about to get angry again, so she quickly adjusted her mindset and tried to make her face look serious. No wonder Shen Gonglin had seemed so awkward since earlier; he was thinking about something like this. Although Kiana felt a little amused, didn't this behavior prove that he really cared about her? Realizing this, the girl felt a surge of happiness.

Sigh, what can I do when my boyfriend gets jealous so easily? As a good girlfriend, Kiana felt that this was indeed her problem. Since he was in this situation, she had a responsibility to help him eliminate this worry. That was what she should do. Could it be that he could only be jealous of Mei because there were no other men around her?

Well, Shen Gonglin can finally experience her own feelings. I bet you look exactly like Shen Gonglin when you're jealous. How cute!

"But I feel like you two are getting too close... But thinking about it, it's normal, considering you haven't spent much time together. You two seem to get along quite well, and she's clearly more suitable for you. You don't need to worry about me. The Class President and Bronya have been pretty good to me, so I feel..."

Shen Gonglin talked on and on, but Kiana couldn't listen anymore. What nonsense was this guy spouting? And hadn't he casually revealed a lot of information? Class President and Bronya ... Well, those two definitely have something going on; they're probably eyeing their own pig. Making a mental note of this, Kiana knew that her first priority was to slap this self-pitying Shen Gonglin was wallowing in some kind of second lead fantasy, right back to reality.

Does he think he's cool? What kind of carefree self-sacrifice is this? Shen Gonglin might think he's cool, but Kiana thinks he's just a complete idiot.

"Wait, wait... Hold on a minute, put aside your idiot's self-righteous facts for now, have you been watching too many TV dramas? I've said it before, someone your age shouldn't be watching those melodramatic prime-time dramas, why not watch more anime? Look at all the nonsense you've learned, are you really trying to drive me crazy?"

With her hands on her hips, Kiana forcefully stopped Shen Gonglin from speaking about the second male lead. This guy was a complete idiot. Without a doubt, he had been poisoned by those prime-time dramas. How did Shen Gonglin, who was once so good, become like this? It seems we'll have to regulate television from now on. Look what they've done to Shen Gonglin.

"But I'm doing this for your own good. According to TV dramas, as long as you're happy, I don't care what happens to me..."

Speaking of TV dramas, Shen Gonglin seemed to have received a sudden inspiration, and then he said something that made Kiana feel extremely uncomfortable. This guy is really heavily poisoned, even saying such sycophantic things. Is this still the Shen Gonglin I know? If the situation weren't so bad right now, Kiana really wanted to give Shen Gonglin a good... cough cough, to cleanse her poison. Is this sycophantic persona really Shen Gonglin's persona?

As expected, Shen Gonglin is even more adorable when she's a little mischievous.

"Ugh, your statement makes me want to punch someone! Whether I'm doing well or not isn't for you to decide. I don't care what you think, I care what I think. Shen Gonglin, stop talking nonsense. We're a match made in heaven. There's no one more compatible than us throughout history. Just remember that. Even Mei doesn't get along as well as us. Keep that in mind!"

If it weren't for the fact that the person in front of her was Shen Gonglin, Kiana, who was so angry she wanted to punch him, would have really wanted to. She had hated this kind of plot when she watched TV with Shen Gonglin, and she didn't expect that Shen Gonglin would have this reaction now. She had to get rid of this immature thought of his as soon as possible. Kiana grabbed Shen Gonglin's shoulders with both hands, her eyes, which were sparkling with starlight, staring intently into his eyes. She had to make Shen Gonglin believe this fact.

"But you and Mei..."

Being firmly chosen is indeed a very happy thing. That feeling of being needed—that there's no substitute, that you're the only one—is really great. But Shen Gonglin is a bit awkward; she still feels that Mei and Kiana are more suitable. What should she do?

"No matter how good Mei, we could never get married, right? Shen Gonglin, we're both girls, so being good friends doesn't affect us. I'm a straight woman, by all accounts... There's a saying, let me think... 'Yuri is great, but unfortunately, you can't have children.' Yes, that's it."

Kiana still didn't understand why Shen Gonglin was acting so awkwardly. Kiana was 100% sure that neither she nor Mei had any romantic feelings for each other; they were just good friends. Shen Gonglin was so strange. Kiana could only rack her brains trying to figure out how to convince Shen Gonglin. Yes, that explanation was definitely right.

"Shen Gonglin, as you know, our Kaslana family is now suffering from a severe shortage of talent. The former three great families of Schicksal are now almost extinct. The Schariac family and Apocalypse family are full of talented people, but our Kaslana family is not doing well. So as a member of the Kaslana family, I have a responsibility to shoulder the mission of revitalizing the family, and the only one who can help me accomplish this mission is you."

It's quite an achievement that Kiana, with her Kiana brain, came up with this reason. The girl casually found a reason to take on the mission of revitalizing the Kaslana family. Mei can't help her with this mission; only Mei Shen Gonglin can.

Kiana, being a young girl, couldn't help but feel a little shy when she said such things. Luckily, it was just her and Shen Gonglin here, otherwise she would definitely be too shy to say such things.

Chapter 375 Revitalizing the Kaslana family

"Revitalize the Kaslana family? What does that mean?"

How did we suddenly get onto this topic again? Shen Gonglin really can't keep up with Kiana's train of thought. I feel completely dumbfounded, but Kiana feels that her thoughts are flowing smoothly. That's it, only Shen Gonglin can help her with this.

In fact, the so-called Kaslana family revitalization plan was just an excuse. Kiana needed to let Shen Gonglin know how important he was to her, otherwise who knew what kind of wild thoughts this guy would have, even questioning their relationship. To be honest, she was a little tempted to punch him. What about all the time they spent together day and night? Was it a four-character idiom?

"It means exactly what it says. Mei can't help with this kind of thing. It's up to the two of us to revitalize the Kaslana family. Shen Gonglin, do you understand now?"

Kiana's fair face flushed red, but she still straightened her chest and said the words that made her incredibly shy. This was something that hadn't even started yet, Kiana really couldn't imagine what it would be like to be a mother. Maybe she should practice first, and then have Bronya try calling her "Mom" to get used to it?

After all, it's always better to be prepared.

"Ah, you mean you only need my help to have a child, and you still like Ya..."

Shen Gonglin slapped her hand in sudden realization. She never expected Kiana to harbor such treacherous ambitions. In fact, she already understood what Kiana meant, and this comment was just her usual playful banter. Tsk tsk tsk, as expected of Kiana, always wanting to have her cake and eat it too. She actually thought the same thing as her, wanting to take them all in one go.

"Ugh, I can't take it anymore, my aversion to stupidity is acting up! How am I ever going to understand?! Fine, let's prove it with actions, Shen Gonglin, you better stand still!"

Impatiently interrupting Shen Gonglin's foolish remarks, Kiana took a few steps back after making Shen Gonglin stand properly. Then, the girl ran towards Shen Gonglin, and the powerful impact knocked him to the ground. Kiana sat on him, glaring at him fiercely. Words were useless; she could only let Shen Gonglin know her true thoughts through her actions. "Lie down properly for me!"

A familiar sensation spread across her lips. A short while later, Kiana straightened up, wiped her mouth, and glared fiercely at Shen Gonglin. Surely he wouldn't suspect anything now? Only she and he would ever do something like this. Even if she and Mei were close, it would never happen. Honestly, how could he suspect her and Mei? He shouldn't watch so many weird dramas; they're both girls.

Girls and girls? How is that possible... Ah, I heard that Otto's love-struck crush has fallen for a girl. Poor Otto.

"Now you understand? If you still don't understand, I'll continue. Honestly, what are you thinking about all day? All you need to do is think about what to eat next. Don't think about anything else. Just behave yourself."

Staring imposingly at Shen Gonglin, Kiana had made up her mind. If this guy uttered any more nonsense, she would give him a real wake-up call. She would kiss him for every word he said, and see if he would dare to continue spouting nonsense. Sure enough, sometimes words are not as effective as actions. Kiana was too lazy to persuade him anymore.

Since it's all done with words anyway, persuasion in this way is obviously more effective.

"I... I understand... Honestly, Kiana, you're not gentle at all, you can't even say something nice to me..."

Shen Gonglin pursed his lips and didn't dare to continue babbling. He could only mutter to himself, "This guy really doesn't know how to coax people. He's so tough. Wouldn't it be better to say something gentle? The Class President is definitely the gentlest one."

"Sweet words... Well, I'll say something nice, but you can't tell anyone, okay, Dad?"

Suddenly struck by a sudden thought, Kiana leaned down again and whispered something in Shen Gonglin's ear. Shen Gonglin constricted; he hadn't expected Kiana to do this... After a brief silence, Shen Gonglin turned deadpan as he stared at the shy, timid face of the girl before him. After a long while, Shen Gonglin spoke.

"Hello, horse worm."

"... No, didn't you tell me to say something nice? Isn't this nice enough? Shen Gonglin, aren't you being a little too arrogant?!"

Enraged and embarrassed, the girl grabbed Shen Gonglin and started spitting out her words. Did she even know how much embarrassment she had endured to say them, and yet this guy... he was simply inhuman!

"Shen Gonglin, Kiana, you're finally out! I thought something had happened... Hmm? What's wrong with you two?"

The space tunnel unfolded, and Mei and Bronya, who were on the stone platform elevator, breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Shen Gonglin and Kiana emerge from it. They had been worried that something had happened to Shen Gonglin and Kiana since they were the only ones there. Just when they were at a loss, the two of them finally appeared. Mei quickly ran towards Shen Gonglin and Kiana, and once she got there, Mei noticed that there was a strange atmosphere between them.

Well, right now, Shen Gonglin and Mei are like a bottom laner who played together and lost. If they were to sit at separate tables when they went out to eat, Mei would believe it. What's going on? What happened during this time?

"It's nothing, I was just a little unaccustomed to the opening of the spatial tunnel just now... It's alright, I'm fine now."

Kiana brushed it off with that excuse, secretly glaring at Shen Gonglin. This guy really has no sense of romance. Didn't Mei's Book say that he would be happy if she called him that? She didn't understand. The book must be right. It must be Shen Gonglin's fault.

Kiana, your lips... seem a little swollen.

Bronya, with her exceptional observation skills, pointed out the problem. The emotionless girl silently stared at Shen Gonglin and Kiana, her intuition telling her that something was seriously wrong.

"Ah, I probably bumped into it accidentally just now... But Bronya, is there something I can ask you for help with?"

Kiana wiped her mouth, and remembering something, she looked at Bronya. After thinking it over, she realized that only Bronya was suitable.

"What's up?"

"Um, could you call me Mom?"

"... Heavy-duty Rabbit, fire!"

Chapter 376 What Morality Can We Talk About with the Finality?

"Seriously, I was just joking, Bronya, why are you getting so worked up? If you don't want to yell, you don't have to use Heavy-duty Rabbit to blast me, do you?"

Although Kiana managed to open a spatial tunnel to escape, she was still blasted into a dusty mess by the Heavy-duty Rabbit's flames. The girl spat several times before cautiously approaching again. She had only wanted to get a feel for it beforehand, but who knew Bronya's reaction would be so strong? That girl was no joke!

"If you say that again, Bronya won't hold back this time."

The emotionless loli gritted her teeth and aimed her Heavy-duty Rabbit at Kiana again. Heaven knows what this Kiana was thinking. How could she say something like that? Kiana being lively was indeed fun, but wasn't she being a little too lively? I really want to give her a good whack in the face. What was she thinking?

Why should I call her "Mom"?

"Alright, alright, you two stop arguing. Now that we're finally out, let's get down to business."

Mei felt like she was back in her old days as a kindergarten teacher. She was utterly helpless with the current behavior of these two. If she left them alone for a while, they would start arguing. Don't expect Mei Shen Gonglin to help. That guy's specialty is stirring things up and watching the show. From the fact that he didn't try to persuade them at all and just watched with great interest, she knew that she had to do the job of persuading them herself.

"Hmph, if Mei hadn't spoken up, I would have taught you a lesson today. Let me sense the Class President's location first... Eh? Oh no, the Class President's aura has disappeared."

Even after being bombed and covered in dust, Kiana didn't forget to utter some tough words. She swung her fist at Bronya, and when Kiana moved the cannon of the Heavy-duty Rabbit over again, Kiana quickly hid behind Shen Gonglin. Seeing that Bronya was helpless, Kiana closed her eyes and tried to sense the position of the Class President. But when she sensed it, she realized that the problem seemed to be much bigger.

Previously, I could clearly sense the Class President's location. Although her breath was weak, there was no doubt that her life was not in danger. But now I can't sense her location at all. What's going on?

"Kiana, what happened? You said the Class President's aura disappeared... What about the Herrscher of Consciousness?"

This is really not good news. Although they had considered that things might not go as smoothly as they had thought, the emergence of this difficulty was still a bit of a headache. The Class President's aura disappeared, so what about the Herrscher of Consciousness came to their rescue before them? Would Kevin have taken them both down with Kevin?

The girl confidently asserted that she could go toe-to-toe with Kevin.

There was no trace of it.

Kiana sensed her surroundings, but neither the Class President nor the Herrscher of Consciousness appeared within her perception range. She had no idea what their current situation was.

"If that's the case, then we're probably too late. Although Kevin probably won't kill the Class President, he'll likely remove her influence over him..."

Bronya analyzed the situation. Given the comradeship between Kevin and the Class President, she didn't believe the Class President was in any mortal danger. However, her condition was still worrying. But as things stood, all they could do now was...

"Looks like the only option is to hang Kevin up and beat him up, then ask him where he hid the Class President. Go see him first, and if he doesn't behave, knock all his teeth out."

Shen Gonglin was itching for a fight. She couldn't unleash her full power in the Stigmata Space before, which prevented her from saving Theresa. But things were different now. Shen Gonglin wanted to give Kevin a good beating, even though her Herrscher Authority hadn't been restored. That was no excuse for her to avoid the fight.

Just then, a round of applause suddenly came from the front. Shen Gonglin could already imagine Kevin clapping and saying something like, "I've been waiting for you for a long time." However, the accompanying footsteps... Shen Gonglin could tell from her abilities that it sounded like a girl.

Who is it?

The three girls stood ready, but not far ahead, without any sign of life, a strange woman suddenly appeared before them. She had long white hair and a gentle, serene face. She sat calmly amidst the ruins of the moon, her expression serene and peaceful. It was as if this were not the depths of an alien planet, but a sun-drenched countryside. It was as if she had long since grown accustomed to such solitude in countless similar days and nights.

"Hello everyone... brave girl... and boy, you're always the best!"

The newcomer greeted Shen Gonglin and the others gently, her demeanor elegant. However, Kiana and the others couldn't relax. The sudden appearance of such a woman deep within this lunar base made Shen Gonglin and the others suspicious of her identity. Kevin should be here, but she...

Seemingly oblivious to their wariness, the woman tilted her head, put her index finger to her lips, and smiled brightly like an innocent and adorable young girl, "I know you must have many questions in your hearts; and answering those questions is the reason I'm here. I will answer your questions one by one... Don't worry, Kevin won't come to bother you at this moment. I'm happy to help everyone... So, until then, please rest here in peace."

The white-haired woman's voice was gentle and soothing, making one want to relax. Looking at the woman before her, Kiana felt a strange sense of closeness, a feeling that was inexplicable and odd. Why was this happening...?

"We've finally met in person. If I'm not mistaken, you must be..."

Kiana remained silent, but Mei had already guessed the identity of the person in front of her. Before she could speak, Shen Gonglin had already given her answer.

"If we're not mistaken, you must be the Finality, right? Surrender obediently and swear that you will never harm the world again, then I might let you go. Otherwise, we'll fight side by side. There's no morality to speak of with the Finality!"

Speaking such lines like a villain, Shen Gonglin displayed unparalleled wisdom. Who else could appear before them in such a manner but the Finality?

Chapter 377 The Crystallization of the Stigmata

The entire room fell silent upon hearing Shen Gonglin's words. Kiana and Bronya stared at the woman before them with even greater wariness. So she was the Finality... Although the two girls felt a little strange, they still trusted Shen Gonglin. The sudden appearance of such a woman in this environment did seem quite suspicious.

"Sorry, we've finally met in person. If I'm not mistaken, you're the mastermind behind the Stigmata Plan, a member of World Serpent, and you're Yuto, right?"

Mei really didn't want to embarrass Shen Gonglin, but the person in front of her was definitely not the Finality. When she heard her voice, Mei felt it was very familiar. When she lost consciousness during that massive battle with Raven, that was the voice she heard. Without a doubt, she was the executive of the World Serpent that she had never met, Hato.

However, her appearance... doesn't quite match that of Gray Serpent, Jackal, Raven, and the others. This feeling of "light" makes you believe she's some kind of saintess Mei from some organization.

"Oh dear! Our first meeting was so rushed, I didn't expect Mei to remember me, I'm so happy. But, now that Mei already knows me... it seems I'll have to keep my self-introduction as brief as possible."

As if genuinely happy that Mei remembered her, the woman spoke as she gracefully jumped down from the high platform where she had been sitting. The girl walked lightly toward Shen Gonglin and the others, her beautiful appearance as ethereal and lovely as a forest sprite.

"That's right, my codename as a cadre in World Serpent is Feather Rabbit. When we meet again, Red Tyrannosaurus Rex... The project I'm in charge of is the Stigmata Plan. As for my name, it's Misterin ... Misterin Saniyat."

Yuto introduced herself, and upon hearing her name, Kiana finally understood why she felt a sense of familiarity when she looked at her. In this World Serpent executive named Yuto, she truly sensed the presence of her mother— Cecilia Saniyat, whom she had met through a virtual device at the Babylon Tower in the St. Freya Underground Chapel, who was none other than her mother.

"Saniyat?"

Questions arose about her surname; was she a member of the Saniyat tribe?

"Hmm. However, I am not human, but a crystallization of the Saniyat Stigmata... Ah, what is a crystallization of Stigmata? It seems that none of you are very clear about it. But don't worry, you have come from afar, and I suppose you haven't seen the scenery of this Finality Crater yet? Let's walk and talk, Shen Gonglin, shall we?"

Their attention turned to Shen Gonglin, because Yuuto knew he was the leader among them. It had to be said that the surname Saniyat had significantly lessened Shen Gonglin's hostility towards her. His conversation with Anna had taught him the significance of the Shaniat clan, representing the Holy Maiden of Schicksal, and the fact that Saniyat hadn't shown any ill will towards them was concerning. However, their immediate priority was finding the Class President ...

"By the way, you're all very concerned about Fu Hua's safety, right? Don't worry, the Lord has no intention of harming her; he's only temporarily stripped her of her combat abilities. Come with me quickly."

Understanding Shen Gonglin and the others' concerns, Hato casually uttered those words, then, without caring whether Shen Gonglin and the others would follow, the girl strolled forward as if taking a leisurely walk. And now, in this situation...

"Regardless, let's follow them first. It seems they don't have any ill intentions towards us, and it seems that all we can do now is follow them and see what's going on."

Bronya made a judgment: the sudden arrival of this uninvited guest left them somewhat at a loss. They had originally thought that there would be an earth-shattering battle after they came down, but now... they could only follow along.

"You've caught up. By the way, what were we talking about before we started discussing the Lord?"

Like a young lady taking a stroll in the fields, Yu Tu was relaxed and at ease. She casually mentioned this matter, knowing that these brave young men and women must have many questions that she needed to answer.

"You say you are a crystallization of the Saniyat."

Bronya brought up the question, which required her to explain it properly, and Yutu also showed a look of sudden realization. Right, it's time to explain this.

"Ah, yes. Thank you, Bronya."

The emotionless girl smiled gently at Bronya and remained silent. However, Bronya felt a strange sensation in her eyes, as if it wasn't the first time she had seen her. And what was the meaning behind that look... that look of an elder towards a junior?
