• Otto met Ling Feng and Kiana, while the masked girl behind him reacted to Kiana with hostility and called her a thief.

• Ling Feng asked the elderly clothing-store owner to repair the Academy Head’s Magical Girl dress, and the owner recognized Kiana as Cecilia and Sigfried’s daughter.

• Kiana kept the message private and teased with Ling Feng while admiring the dress, and the masked girl radiated anger as Otto watched.

Kiana accepted the gift, but the masked girl's resentment remained as Ling Feng ordered a third gown and stirred up more jealousy.

• The masked girl grew hostile toward Kiana over the Winter Princess gown until the old man suggested Cecilia had designed it to fit her better.
• Ling Feng offered to pay for a custom gown, and the old man revealed that Cecilia and Sigfried had never paid for the original, then quoted a discounted price for two.
• Ling Feng offered the masked girl a gown as Cecilia's gift, and she thanked him in a voice identical to Kiana's.
• The masked girl recalled how Sigfried left her at Schicksal and how headquarters records identified the Kiana who escaped with him as Kiana Kaslana, while she was reduced to a nameless attendant.
• Kiana agreed to the second gown, though the masked girl still believed the name, gown, and Ling Feng should have been hers.
• Ling Feng ordered a third gown with smaller chest measurements, prompting the old man to tease him about making one for a daughter and Kiana to question who would receive it.

Ling Feng and Kiana left the clothing store with the Winter Princess gown, while Ling Feng suspected the masked girl might be Kiana’s clone. They spent the day together in Europe, and that night Kiana dressed in the gown, unaware that Ling Feng had deliberately misplaced her panties.

• Ling Feng recognized Sigfried and Tengu's Judgment, then learned that Sigfried had secretly followed Kiana and left after Sirin broke his arm.
• Sigfried explained that Otto had sacrificed Cecilia during the Second Honkai War, so he had taken Kiana away from Schicksal and now planned to seek the truth and prepare for another war.

• Ling Feng pointed out the masked girl’s attachment to Cecilia and the Winter Princess, and Sigfried privately realized she might be his real daughter while deciding not to reveal the truth.
• Ling Feng challenged Sigfried’s claim that the masked girl was a clone, reasoning from Kiana’s missing childhood memories and her altered genes that the Kiana with him had been created through embryo cloning.

Sigfried told Ling Feng how the clone Kiana became his daughter and asked him to take her to a church wedding ceremony the next day. Ling Feng accepted two rings meant for Kiana and the True Kiana, then woke beside Kiana and pulled her back into bed.

• The Queen accused Ling Feng of treating her like a pet, and he reassured her before taking her to shower with him.

• During training, Fu Hua suddenly felt nauseated, left the training room, and decided to visit Tesla after retching outside.

• Rita noticed Fu Hua’s changed behavior, nausea, and short absences, and suspected that something had happened.

Team 233 received orders to investigate the legendary Nine Nether, believed to lie beneath the South Sea and possibly contain the Xuanyuan Sword or other Divine Keys. The team set out aboard the Hyperion, and Himeko led a diving party toward the suspected site while Fu Hua’s pregnancy remained a secret from Ling Feng.

• Fu Hua left training with Rita, who suspected she was pregnant and began questioning her before Theresa’s message summoned Team 233.
• Tesla and Theresa explained that murals from five ruins pointed to Nine Nether beneath the sea, where the Xuanyuan Sword and other Divine Keys might be hidden.
• Theresa ordered Team 233 to investigate; after Fu Hua insisted on joining, Ling Feng supported her, and Theresa sent the whole team to the Hyperion.
• The Hyperion reached the target waters, and Himeko volunteered to lead Kiana and the others underwater while Ling Feng stayed on the bridge.
• Kiana promised Ling Feng she would find the entrance, and he warned her to follow orders or go without meat at dinner.

Himeko, Mei, Kiana, and Bronya were swallowed into Nine Nether when a giant hole opened on the seafloor, leaving Ling Feng and the gathered Schicksal and Anti-Entropy forces to organize a rescue. Mei later contacted the Hyperion and confirmed that she and Himeko were alive inside Nine Nether, while the separated Kiana and Bronya also found a way to reconnect with the ship.

• Himeko's team used a Sound Wave bomb to open a cave, revealing a vast hollow and exposing the Anti-Entropy mechs hidden nearby.

Ling Feng was swallowed into Nine Nether and eventually found Kiana fighting a swarm of Honkai Beasts. After rescuing and treating her, he believed she was the Kiana he knew, while she hid her true identity and claimed Bronya had been separated from her.

• A creature beneath the sea swallowed Ling Feng, Durandal, the Anti-Entropy commander, Fu Hua, Rita, and several battleships, while the Hyperion escaped.
• Ling Feng wandered through Nine Nether, clearing Honkai Beasts and searching for other people and a way to contact the battleships.

• Ling Feng hugged Kiana, then treated the wound on her heel while she hesitated to tell him that she was not the Kiana he sought.
• Ling Feng offered Kiana snacks and asked where Bronya was, so Kiana claimed they had been separated while fleeing Honkai Beasts.

Ling Feng carried the injured Kiana through the Honkai-filled maze while she tried to impersonate his wife and used random guesses to choose their route.

• Ling Feng reminded Kiana to call him “hubby” when they were alone, and Kiana used the address to keep pretending to be his wife.

• Ling Feng finished cleaning up and told Kiana it was time to sleep, while she noticed the tent had only one blanket.

While exploring Nine Nether, Ling Feng and the Kiana impersonating his wife sheltered in a cave, where he blocked both entrances and held her through the night.

• The next morning, Kiana woke and carefully pulled Ling Feng's hand out from inside her clothes without waking him.

Ling Feng and Kiana traveled through the Honkai-filled wasteland while Ling Feng continued teasing and carrying her. When an Emperor-class Honkai Beast trapped Ling Feng, Kiana revealed her White Knight: Aurora armor and defeated it, leaving both of them to wonder whether the other would expose their secrets.
