Chapter 72

"Yes, Major Himeko, I understand..."

Mei nodded in acceptance of the mission, but Mei hadn't set off yet. She looked hesitantly at the communicator. Through the screen, Mei immediately realized what Himeko was hesitating about. Unlike Bronya, who had a poker face earlier, Mei was much easier to understand. This girl was probably worried about the same thing as Bronya. Shen Gonglin really knew how to attract girls. And this was during a mission, couldn't you guys put him aside for a bit?

"Don't worry, Shen Gonglin and Kiana will also provide support. If we go up later, I'll have Kiana look after him. Even if he's afraid of heights, you don't need to worry. Kiana wouldn't kill him. So... Mei, focus on the mission. Also, St. Freya has regulations regarding students dating early."

Mei gave Himeko temples, feeling a headache coming on. These students all had problems; didn't they know that early romances weren't allowed in the academy? Only teachers like herself could date freely.

"Teacher Himeko! What do you mean by saying that? Early romance... I don't understand! Anyway, I'm going to log in now. In short, make sure Kiana takes good care of Shen Gonglin."

Mei blushed instantly and hurriedly hung up the call. She looked at the warship in the sky, took a deep breath for a while, and finally calmed down. Teacher Himeko was right. Dating was not allowed in the academy, but there was no rule against dating. So, there was nothing wrong with what she was doing. She was just having a normal relationship with Shen Gonglin. He must be very uncomfortable since he just St. Freya St. Freya. She was just showing him normal care, and it had nothing to do with dating!

On another battlefield, Shen Gonglin sat bored on a stone slab, watching Kiana not far away. She really didn't know why this girl was so energetic. She didn't seem tired at all since they started fighting. This girl seemed to radiate endless strength from head to toe. Looking at the rope around her waist, Shen Gonglin suddenly felt like she was taking an energetic husky for a walk.

I feel like she'd definitely get along well with Shen Gongxiu... By the way, who exactly is Shen Gongxiu Hide? Why does that name keep echoing in my head? And just thinking about it makes me feel a little uncomfortable. It's a scary name. She must be really something.

"Phew, area cleared. Shen Gonglin, how would you rate the battle just now?"

Wiping the sweat from her brow, Kiana kicked the last Honkai Beast away and ran over excitedly. To prevent Shen Gonglin from running around, Kiana tied a rope between them. And it proved to be very effective. While she was fighting, Shen Gonglin sat there quietly. Although the rope slightly affected the battle, it was all worth it.

"Hmm... I'd give it a maximum of ninety points. The smoke and dust were quite heavy, and it even got all over me. Also, it was about ten seconds slower than the previous fight, so I can't give it more than ninety points."

Seeing Kiana finish her battle, Shen Gonglin dusted himself off and stood up. Since he had nothing better to do, he decided to give Kiana's battle a score. In his professional opinion, Kiana's battle deserved a 90 out of 100, which was a high score. After all, it was quite pleasing to the eye to see a beautiful girl with a great figure in a tight-fitting outfit jumping around in front of him. This girl really had a great figure.

"Ninety points! Yes! I knew I could do it. The score was slightly lower than before because there were a few more Honkai Beast. Shen Gonglin, I'm sure I can get a high score next time!"

Kiana was already quite satisfied with a score of 90. After all, this girl was a poor student who usually couldn't even get 60 points, but she had gotten scores of 90 or above several times with Shen Gonglin. This girl was actually very easily satisfied, and she was already very excited. This was a score of 90! Kiana had never gotten such a score before.

Seeing how excited she is, let's not tell her that the full score is 150.

"Whatever makes you happy, but what should we do now? The enemy in the area has been cleared out, so can we go home for dinner? Rescue missions aren't our responsibility, are they?"

Shen Gonglin looked around. The cleared battlefield was rather quiet. They had indeed saved quite a few people along the way, but it was best to use their resources wisely. With professional rescue teams available, their combat units should find their own tasks to do.

Isn't it a little too quiet? Although the Honkai Beast and Suicide Squad have been cleared out, a bad feeling is slowly spreading in Shen Gonglin's heart. Even her skin feels like it's being stung. What is this? It's like something is about to appear. As she was talking, Shen Gonglin's body automatically entered a state of Mindful Essence. Something seems wrong here.

"Let me ask Himeko. If there's nothing else for us, we can prepare to go back. I'm already missing Mei and Mei's cooking. I'm so hungry."

Kiana took out her communicator to contact Himeko, but the strange feeling in Shen Gonglin's heart grew stronger and stronger. The Honkai energy stored in her body suddenly began to have a strange activity, as if it was being attracted by a higher concentration of Honkai energy. This feeling was not right. Something bad must be about to happen. Shen Gonglin had this strange sixth sense. Something was definitely not right.

"Hello, Himeko, please respond if you hear me, please respond if you hear me..."

Kiana didn't sense anything amiss. She turned on her communicator and started contacting Himeko. Just then, Shen Gonglin noticed a purplish-red light slowly gathering beneath Kiana's feet. Although she hadn't been in contact with Honkai energy for long, Shen Gonglin had already become familiar with this strange energy. This thing was dangerous!

"Kiana, watch out!"

Shen Gonglin suddenly pulled on the rope around his waist, and the light spots under Kiana's feet had already quietly converged. His Shen Gonglin intuition made the right move, and he pulled the girl's body towards him. He was now extremely grateful that he and Kiana were connected by this rope, otherwise this silly deer would probably have been turned into skewers.

"Hey, Shen Gonglin, what are you doing...?"

Pulled by the rope, Kiana's communicator slipped from her hand, and the girl threw herself into Shen Gonglin's arms. The distance between them suddenly closed, and even Kiana found it hard to handle such close contact. What was wrong with this girl? Why did she suddenly want to hug her so much? He was so thin and weak, and hugging him didn't make her feel safe at all. It was better for her to hug him herself.

However, before the girl could finish speaking, a violent explosion rang out from behind her. Crimson light converged, and a laser suddenly burst forth from where Kiana had been standing. The powerful explosion directly blew Shen Gonglin and Kiana away, and the communicator that had fallen earlier was also destroyed. Shen Gonglin and Kiana were caught off guard and were thrown a great distance away. What exactly happened?

Shen Gonglin gritted his teeth and stood up. Unlike Kiana, who was physically strong and protected by the seemingly tight-fitting but actually highly protective third-generation combat armor, Shen Gonglin Kiana was not injured. He was wearing ordinary clothes, and because he had instinctively shielded Kiana during the explosion, his injuries were much more severe than Kiana's. He had been injured somewhere on his head, and bright red blood was flowing down his face, streaking across his eyes. The pain made Shen Gonglin wince, but now was not the time to complain. He finally knew what had attacked him.

"Shen Gonglin! How are you? Are you alright?"

Kiana quickly snapped back to reality. Shen Gonglin's current appearance startled her. The girl quickly stood up and approached Shen Gonglin to check his condition. Not only was there a wound on his head, but there were also abrasions on his delicate cheeks, as well as his arms and body... This guy is so afraid of pain, these injuries are definitely serious for him.

"Hiss... Can't you say something useful? Look at me, do you think I'm alright? I don't care, I got all this because I saved you, you have to take responsibility."

Shen Gonglin winced in pain, but the fact that he could still joke around proved that it wasn't serious. It really hurt; fighting the Honkai was never safe. This wasn't the first time he'd been injured. He was clearly terrified of pain, but the injuries seemed relentless. He'd been injured when he encountered Rita at headquarters with Kiana, and he'd also been severely wounded by Durandal during their battle. Add to that the psychological trauma caused by being forcibly kissed by Rosaliya, Kiana, and Mei ...

Wow, without realizing it, I'm already riddled with holes. I'm such a tough guy.

"I'll take responsibility, I'll definitely take responsibility... Shen Gonglin, what exactly is this thing? Is it Honkai Beast?"

Kiana nodded her head vigorously, her face filled with obvious regret. She had made up her mind to protect Shen Gonglin, but this time he had hurt her again, and he had been injured while protecting her. This was something the girl could hardly accept. She was supposed to protect him, so how did it turn out like this?

With these emotions echoing in her heart, Kiana looked up ahead. The Honkai Beast that had appeared out of nowhere made Kiana's eyes widen in astonishment. This should be Honkai Beast, but she had never seen this type of Honkai Beast before.

It was several times larger than Honkai Beast I'd ever seen before, and the halo surrounding it looked incredibly dangerous. This guy was completely different from the ones I'd killed before; the level of danger was incomparable.

"Don't you know? This thing is called... Honkai Emperor in the encyclopedia. Although it's called Emperor, it shouldn't have reached the Emperor-class yet. It would take an S-rank or several A-rank Valkyrie to contend with it. Kiana, get ready. There's no one else here, just the two of us."

Wiping the blood from her head, Shen Gonglin looked at the characteristics of the Honkai Beast front of her and automatically compared it with the information she had seen before. This guy was quite smart. When he was bored in class, he flipped through the textbook. His photographic memory allowed him to remember everything he had seen. He also knew the general classification of Honkai Beast. As for the Emperor-class, Kiana's strength was probably a bit of a problem. She couldn't continue to slack off.

"Honkai Beast approaching the Emperor-class... I'm fired up! Shen Gonglin, step back, leave this to me!"

Shen Gonglin was injured, and Kiana knew she couldn't let him fight. Besides, Honkai Beast of that level would be extremely dangerous. Although Shen Gonglin was officially an S-rank, Kiana didn't consider him a valuable fighting force. In her heart, Shen Gonglin was more of Shen Gonglin mascot and someone worth protecting. She couldn't let him protect her.

With Shen Gonglin behind her, Kiana's eyes were covered by blue combat goggles. Holding her twin pistols upright and hanging them behind her, Kiana ran at top speed towards the Honkai Beast. She had heard that her aunt had once single-handedly defeated an Emperor-class Honkai Beast, so she should be able to do it too!

Like a shooting star, the combat armor entered combat mode. Kiana dodged the red laser and kicked the Honkai Emperor's white hard shell. However, the kicking technique that had always worked before failed to achieve the effect Kiana expected this time. The white cat claws disappeared, and Kiana looked at the Honkai Beast under her feet in astonishment. No way, she used all her strength, how come it had no effect at all?

"Watch this move of mine!"

Using the momentum of a leap, Kiana, though not academically gifted, possesses exceptional combat instincts. With her innate fighting spirit and agile body, Kiana's combat prowess is impeccable. Another mid-air downward kick—a giant cat claw appearing in the void—slammed heavily into the Honkai Beast's head. This should finally give it a quick death...

However, Kiana underestimated the defensive power of this near- Emperor-class Honkai Beast. The moves that were invincible against ordinary Honkai Beast had no effect on this one. The Honkai Beast's huge body crashed into Kiana. Despite its size, it had a speed that did not match its appearance. Kiana stared in astonishment. This guy is so troublesome!

Chapter 287 When Disaster Strikes, We All Run Away

Before she could think of anything else, danger struck. The Honkai Beast was surrounded by a dangerous red light. Kiana only had time to protect her head with her hands. The strong impact made even this physically strong Valkyrie grit her teeth. In this critical moment, Kiana adjusted her posture so that she did not crash into the red halo. The explosion just now made Kiana realize that crashing into it was no fun.

However, even so, Kiana still couldn't take it. The girl's body was sent flying far away like a falling leaf. The Valkyrie felt a sweet taste in her throat. This impact was a bit painful, and she might even have internal injuries.

"You idiot, I told you you couldn't handle this, right? In a situation like this, let the stronger people handle it."

Reaching out to catch Kiana as she flew backward, Shen Gonglin acted as a human cushion, his chest aching from the impact. It seemed that Fu Hua's "catching, neutralizing, and releasing" techniques were completely useless. Holding Kiana, he staggered backward until Shen Gonglin crashed into the wall behind him, finally stopping. This time, Shen Gonglin was more seriously injured than Kiana, since he was much more fragile than Kiana.

"Cough cough... Stronger? You mean you're stronger? Shen Gonglin, you should go look in the mirror. You're in a much worse state than me."

A trickle of blood flowed from the corner of her mouth. Even in her injured state, Kiana didn't give up her plan to mock Shen Gonglin. The girl turned around and saw that this guy definitely looked worse than herself. The blood on his forehead was almost flowing down to his chin. However, judging from his voice, he didn't seem to be in too much trouble. He was in such a sorry state, would Kiana possibly ask him to help? It was the same question as before. Even though Shen Gonglin's official identity was S-rank, Kiana had never regarded him as someone who was super strong.

"Tsk, it's time to show you. Let me tell you, you'd better show me some respect from now on."

Pushing Kiana aside, the Honkai Emperor opposite her didn't adhere to the decorum expected of a villain. While Kiana and Shen Gonglin were talking, it had already charged forward. Shen Gonglin's eyes flashed with electricity, and the Electromagnetic Force paralyzed her wounds, temporarily restoring Shen Gonglin mobility. Otherwise, the pain alone would have rendered Shen Gonglin unable to get up again. This guy is extremely afraid of pain; if he wants to fight, he has to paralyze himself first.

"Behold me... Ugh, the Lightning Five-Strike Whip!"

The current extended from Shen Gonglin's hand. The move's name sounded random, but it looked incredibly powerful. Iron sand was attracted and, wrapped in blue electricity, it gathered into an iron whip that struck the incoming Honkai Beast. Unlike the electricity she usually used for fun, Shen Gonglin was serious this time. This was the limit of what Shen Gonglin could do with electricity at level 4.

"And also, the Railgun, Scatter Mode!"

All the coins in her pocket flew out. Shen Gonglin gathered magnetic fields in her hands, and with a flick of her fingers, an orange Railgun shot out from her hand. Under the magnetic field, the Honkai Beast's movements were paralyzed. The scattered Railgun accurately hit various parts of its body. A tooth-grinding sound was heard, and the white shell on the surface of the Honkai Beast cracked layer by layer. Kiana's eyes lit up when she saw this. She activated her burst mode again, and the Honkai Furnace on the back of her combat suit operated at full power. The energy generated drove Kiana to launch another attack. This was a good opportunity.

The Valkyrie wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, the red liquid spreading across her lips, adding a unique charm to this energetic girl. Taking advantage of the Honkai Beast still being paralyzed, she quickly rushed forward and leaped high into the air. A huge cat claw appeared in the air, and this attack, comparable to a high-speed train, slammed into the Honkai Beast's forehead. The sound of its shell shattering grew louder and louder, but by this time the Honkai Beast had regained its ability to move. Its single red eye turned towards Kiana in the air, and the red beam of light was already aimed at the girl. Kiana's heart sank; in her current state, she had no way to dodge.

"I told you that stealing kills never ends well, but you insisted on coming up here. Look, if I weren't here, you might have been on your knees."

Another figure suddenly appeared, and the Iron Sand Whip pulled Kiana back from mid-air. Shen Gonglin grabbed Kiana's waist with one hand and charged towards the Honkai Beast. During this time, he didn't forget to criticize and condemn the girl's behavior of trying to steal the kill earlier, which was really too despicable.

"It's precisely because you're here that I acted that way, Shen Gonglin. You should feel honored; I trust you completely."

Not afraid at all, as if she knew that Shen Gonglin would definitely save her. It felt good to be held in Shen Gonglin. Kiana had no sense of being on the battlefield. Kiana had an excited smile on her face. Just like that, she knew that Shen Gonglin would definitely save her!

"No matter how much you trust someone, you can't not pay them. You can decide for yourself how much to give as a relief fee. And... the heads are mine!"

Inch-force. Opening the heavens.

The electric current stimulated the cells in his legs, and Shen Gonglin moved incredibly fast. In the blink of an eye, he and Kiana rushed to the front of the Honkai Beast. His Mindful Essence cultivation had not stopped since entering the battle, and Shen Gonglin had also completed his physical cultivation. The various key points that Fu Hua had taught him appeared in Shen Gonglin's mind. He took a deep breath, and when he opened his eyes again, Kiana clearly saw the shadow of the Class President in him, as if the Class President was right there. Shen Gonglin used a move exactly like Fu Hua's. All the Honkai energy completely concentrated in Shen Gonglin's fist. His arm looked white and tender, but this punch was enough to split the heavens.

With a deafening roar, Shen Gonglin unleashed a punch that sent the Honkai Beast crashing into the nearby ruins. Its pink and white shells scattered across the ground, and the shockwave from the punch destroyed everything in its path. The skills taught by the Class President were truly extraordinary.

Shen Gonglin took a deep breath and withdrew her fist. Actually, her performance this time was not perfect because she was holding Kiana next to her, so she was not able to use her full strength in this attack. However, it seems to have worked quite well now. This should be the solution.

"Wow! Shen Gonglin, just how much did the Class President teach you? This is a move that only she knows! And when did you become so strong? This is so unlike you! Why is the Class President so good to you? And how could you master Class President fist techniques so well in such a short time? And what about your understanding of Honkai Beast before... Shen Gonglin, could it be that you're actually a top student... no, a genius?"

Looking at Shen Gonglin in surprise, Kiana's mouth seemed to be borrowed, and she kept talking non-stop. The girl's blue eyes were full of amazement. Shen Gonglin's behavior was completely unexpected for Kiana. This was probably how the Class President was here. From now on, Kiana began to believe that Shen Gonglin's S-rank status was real. It seemed that it was not obtained by trading her looks. This girl was indeed capable.

As Kiana spoke, her tone became a little sour, as if everyone had agreed to be academic underachievers, but this guy suddenly became an academic star without saying a word.

"Impressive, right? I told you I'm amazing. I'm not pretending anymore. I'm coming clean. I'm the legendary academic genius. Do you think I'm the same as a slacker like you? It's only natural that the Class President is nice to me. Anyway, I'm just that amazing."

She's easily flattered. Kiana's words made Shen Gonglin so proud she felt like her nose was pointing to the sky. Who doesn't like being praised? Seeing Kiana's amazed look, Shen Gonglin felt a surge of satisfaction. It seems learning martial arts from the Class President is quite useful. If Kiana reacts like this, then other girls might react the same way. Such cool kung fu must be incredibly attractive to girls.

This guy's plan for learning martial arts is this: if Fu Hua knew, she probably wouldn't be willing to continue teaching him.

"... I was just praising you, aren't you being a bit too arrogant? I also played a part in what happened just now, so don't try to take all the credit for it. This is... you said it was Honkai Beast close to the Emperor-class, right? It's not that difficult."

Kiana was speechless at Shen Gonglin's arrogance. She couldn't let him claim all the credit; she had also contributed significantly. Kiana then ran over to examine the remains of the Honkai Beast. This was the first Emperor-class Honkai Beast she had ever defeated. Legend had it that Auntie had also defeated one. Although she and Shen Gonglin had cooperated this time, it proved her strength. She believed that one day she would definitely become A-rank Valkyrie, and then Auntie would...

While Kiana was thinking about this, things suddenly changed when she ran to the ruins. The eerie red light reappeared, and the Honkai Beast that she thought had been killed stood up again. Its white shell was covered with cracks, but it was still alive.

"Hey, you idiot, come back here right now."

The Iron Sand Whip worked once again. Shen Gonglin used the iron sand to pull Kiana back. The two of them stared at the Honkai Beast in front of them with bated breath. This guy is too tough. Did the attack just now have no effect?

Of course, that's impossible. The combined attack between Shen Gonglin and Kiana did damage the Honkai Beast, as evidenced by the cracks all over its white shell. However, it seems that the attack only scratched the surface of the Honkai Beast.

The cracks on its shell grew larger and larger, and a sound like shattering glass rang out. The Honkai Beast's white shell shattered with a crash, replaced by a layer of black armor. Ordinary Honkai Beast are composed of white and pink, but this Honkai Beast ...

"It's not that simple after all. After the first wave, there's a second wave. Needless to say, the Honkai Beast in this state will definitely be even stronger."

Looking at the drastically changed Honkai Beast, Shen Gonglin muttered to herself. She had never seen this form of Shen Gonglin Honkai Beast in any books, but the aura emanating from Honkai Beast undoubtedly proved one thing: this guy was getting stronger and stronger.

"Shen Gonglin, what are you talking about... But this guy seems a bit strange."

Even Kiana could tell something was wrong. The Honkai Beast was already terrifying, but its pitch-black color was even more frightening. The red light in Honkai Beast eyes made Kiana swallow hard. Only now was the girl starting to feel scared. But thankfully, she wasn't alone. Fortunately, there was Shen Gonglin. If it weren't for him... wait, where is he?!

Kiana instinctively reached out to her side, but her outstretched hand touched nothing. Kiana turned around and could only see Shen Gonglin's back. This guy had already run far away at some point. Shen Gonglin, that disloyal guy, what is he trying to do? How could he run away by himself!

"Run! What are you waiting for? Are you waiting for me to call Himeko Mei and the others to start the feast? This guy is clearly not someone the two of us can handle. If we don't run now, we'll really be eating your food... Or could you help me distract them and let the leaders leave first?"

Shen Gonglin ran wildly without looking back. His attack just now was his full power output, and now his power was almost depleted. It would be difficult for Shen Gonglin to launch any more powerful attacks, and he believed Kiana would be in the same situation. Moreover, the Honkai Beast had obviously been strengthened a lot. This problem was beyond his capabilities, and Shen Gonglin couldn't solve it. Why force himself if there was nothing wrong with it?

"I... do you think I'm stupid! Shen Gonglin, you ungrateful bastard, you should at least have called me when you ran away!"

Kiana loves challenging strong opponents, but even Kiana would back down when faced with a situation where defeat is inevitable. This ungrateful guy made Kiana grit her teeth in anger. That bastard! She had felt safe because of him before, but now she realized that was all an illusion. Not only was she not safe, but she also had to worry about being betrayed by that bastard Shen Gonglin!

Kiana took off running and made the same choice as Shen Gonglin. This was not something the two of them could solve. Life was a very important thing, and she couldn't just give up here. She hadn't had enough of the food Mei made, and Kiana hadn't done enough of bullying Shen Gonglin. How could she die now?

It would be such a shame if she died; Miss Kiana still has so many things she wants to do.

Kiana's physical abilities far surpassed those of Shen Gonglin. Despite Shen Gonglin using electric current to stimulate her leg muscles, Kiana easily caught up with him. Shen Gonglin was dumbfounded. Shouldn't this guy be stalling for time from behind? How come he's running faster than her? This won't do.

Chapter 288 Jump Together

"Holy crap, Kiana, why are you running so fast? You're Valkyrie, how can you run away from the Honkai? If you go back like this, I'll tell Himeko... Don't run so fast, at least wait for me, okay?"

The difference in physical fitness was completely highlighted at this moment. In the blink of an eye, Shen Gonglin was overtaken by Kiana. This girl was tall and had long legs, so she was much better at running than Shen Gonglin. Although Shen Gonglin had false-started, Shen Gonglin easily overtook her. This made Shen Gonglin unhappy. If Kiana ran so fast, wouldn't she be the one in danger?

"What idiot would go into a situation where defeat is inevitable! And you, you were the one who ran away first, how dare you say such a thing? Go ahead and tattle, if I were scared, I wouldn't be Kiana. You can stay behind and eat my dust!"

This Shen Gonglin actually tried to trick me! How could someone as smart as me be tricked by this silly deer? Kiana turned around and made a face at Shen Gonglin. This ungrateful guy actually tried to abandon me and run away. This is karma. Seeing him panting so hard, Kiana felt a surge of excitement. Betraying teammates isn't something only Shen Gonglin would do.

"No, no... This won't do, Kiana. We have to split up and run. At least one of us has to run. You on the left, me on the right... You idiot, why are you still running with me?!"

The sound of Honkai Beast chasing after them grew louder and louder. Shen Gonglin didn't even dare to turn her head. The only thing to do now was to separate from Kiana and escape. Shen Gonglin finally caught up with Kiana with all her might, but at the fork in the road, Kiana chose the same path as her. What was this guy trying to do?

"Didn't we agree that I'd go to the left and you'd go to the right? You better look carefully whether this is left or right! Shen Gonglin, you hopeless directionally challenged person, have you reached the point where you can't even tell left from right anymore?!"

Kiana was so angry that she cursed loudly. How could this guy be so self-righteous after doing something wrong? He was the one who should have run away with her, but he actually turned around and blamed her. Even while they were running away, Kiana was so angry that she reached out and pinched Shen Gonglin's cheek. Shen Gonglin was the perfect example of someone unreliable. She was so scared that she couldn't tell left from right!

"Ouch, ouch, ouch... You know I can't tell left from right, so why didn't you run in the opposite direction? Come to think of it, you just don't understand me. If it were the Class President or Mei, they would definitely get what I mean. Kiana, it's all your fault! Let go of me! It hurts so much!"

It was practically impossible to get Shen Gonglin to admit her mistake. Kiana's grip was painful, so Shen Gonglin reached out and pinched Kiana's face hard. Running and fighting like this would naturally slow them down, but the two of them couldn't care less about anything else now. This guy was just too hateful, and they had to give him a good beating.

"Well, you actually said something like that! Even the Class President and Mei wouldn't have thought of such a thing. Apologize! Apologize to me right now! Say you were wrong... Apologize to me!"

The way Shen Gonglin said it made it sound like she was the one in the wrong. This guy was always good at turning the tables. Kiana was so angry at this shameless guy that she wanted to bite him. The girl jumped onto Shen Gonglin's back, hugged his head and bit him. Both of their weight were on Shen Gonglin. At this moment, Kiana had completely forgotten about the Honkai Beast. This guy Shen Gonglin needed to be taught a lesson with blood!

Kiana jumped onto her back, and Rin's speed slowed down. The Shen Gonglin Honkai Beast behind her also approached. After its white shell shattered, the Honkai Emperor's strength increased to another level. The two little bugs that kept fleeing in front of it were its targets, or rather, they were just incidental. Honkai Beast are spontaneously attracted to stronger Honkai energy, and there was something in the air that attracted it. Deal with these two little bugs, and then fly up.

The Shen Gonglin Honkai Beast quietly accelerated, while Rin, who was carrying Kiana on her back, slowed down. Sensing the situation behind her, Shen Gonglin quickly dropped to the ground. Just as she lay down, she felt the Honkai Beast fly over her head. Shen Gonglin gave herself full marks for this evasion!

"Hey... Shen Gonglin! Help me! Help me, please!"

Unexpectedly Shen Gonglin was safe, but Kiana was in danger. Shen Gonglin felt a lightness on her back, and then Kiana's voice came from the sky. Kiana, who had been clinging to Shen Gonglin Honkai Beast. The beast's carapace had gotten stuck on Kiana's feet. This thing wanted to fly with Kiana!

Finally rid of that girl! It's true what they say, retribution is inevitable, it's just a matter of time. Who told her to bully me? This is her just desserts. Kiana is nothing, she should just stay with the Honkai Beast... No, no, this won't do.

Just as he had relaxed, something nearby made Shen Gonglin's eyes widen suddenly. He looked at Kiana as she gradually disappeared into the distance. In his anxiety, Shen Gonglin rushed over and, at the same time, covered his mouth with his hands and shouted into the air with all his might.

Kiana!

Although her voice wasn't loud, Shen Gonglin was using all her strength this time, and it sounded almost like her voice was cracking. Kiana could tell from her voice how anxious Shen Gonglin was. Kiana, who was struggling to break free from the Honkai Beast, was suddenly stunned. This guy... doesn't seem to be the way she thought. Actually, he still cares about her, right? He just doesn't say it?

"Hurry, hurry up and cut the rope! Hurry, or it will be too late!"

Shen Gonglin was almost in tears, but she couldn't forget that she and Kiana were still tied with ropes. Kiana had tied them with this rope as a safety net to keep her from running around, but now it was a death sentence. Watching the rope unravel rapidly, Shen Gonglin gritted her teeth and tried to untie the rope around her waist, but the more she tried, the less she could untie it. She could only ask Kiana for help. She had to get it off quickly, or she felt like she was about to fly to the Shen Gonglin.
