Chapter Summaries

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 found Kiana surrounded by Honkai Beasts and used Chi You and his pistol to defeat them.
• 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. After repeatedly encountering danger, Ling Feng began to suspect that something was off, but Kiana called him “hubby” to maintain her disguise, and he accepted the familiar address.

• Ling Feng carried Kiana on his back and asked her to choose routes based on her supposed good luck.
• Kiana pointed them toward several routes that led to Honkai Beast hordes, dead ends, and loops, while Ling Feng fought or fled with her.
• Ling Feng carried Kiana into a cave passage to escape an Emperor-class Honkai Beast.
• Ling Feng noticed Kiana's unusual quietness and questioned her after putting her down to rest.
• 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. She woke to find his hand inside her clothes and managed to pull it away, while the other Kiana and Bronya searched unsuccessfully for Ling Feng elsewhere.

• Ling Feng put the injured Kiana in the tent and told her to rest while he kept watch.
• Ling Feng used Chiyou to collapse rocks over both cave entrances, leaving him and Kiana alone inside.
• Ling Feng joined Kiana in the tent and gently hugged her as they slept, while she accepted the embrace but remained wary.
• Kiana and Bronya rested separately after searching Nine Nether for Ling Feng and finding no sign of him.
• 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.

• Ling Feng asked whether Tesla had given Kiana her armor, while both of them avoided directly discussing her revealed strength.

Ling Feng revealed that he had known Kiana was the real one and tried to explain his intentions after she accused him of treating her as a substitute. He told her how Otto had kept her from Sigfried, gave her the ring her father had left for her, and ended with Kiana asking whose side he would take if she fought the other Kiana.

• Kiana confronted Ling Feng for recognizing that she was the real Kiana, and he admitted he had known while pretending otherwise.
• Kiana cried over her parents and her years at Schicksal, while Ling Feng explained that Otto had switched her with the other Kiana and that Sigfried had stayed away out of fear of Otto's schemes.

• Kiana accepted the ring from Ling Feng, who insisted that he saw her as herself rather than as a substitute.
• Kiana asked Ling Feng which Kiana he would support if she fought the other one.

Ling Feng and Kiana agreed to settle their argument with a card game in which each loser had to answer a question or remove an item of clothing. Ling Feng won the first round, and Kiana suffered another crushing defeat in the second when he played all twenty cards at once.

• Kiana challenged Ling Feng to a card duel after he refused to say which Kiana he would help, and she added removing clothing as an alternative for the loser.
• Ling Feng and Kiana sealed themselves inside a tent and began playing two-player Fight the Landlord.
• Kiana lost the first round after Ling Feng played four aces, four kings, four queens, and a straight, so she removed her battlesuit.
• Kiana received a powerful hand in the second round and expected to win, but Ling Feng played all twenty cards at once as an airplane and went out.

• Kiana lost another round and took off her short skirt, leaving her in her underwear and panties.
• Kiana lost again, but removed one sock instead of her underwear, and Ling Feng protested that socks should not count.

• Ling Feng saw that Kiana had a terrible hand and decided to throw the round rather than make her remove her underwear or panties.
• Kiana played a pair of eights, believing it was her last hope, while Ling Feng concealed his strong remaining hand.

Kiana challenged Ling Feng to keep playing cards, with the loser having to remove clothes, and she grew increasingly determined to win after losing. The chapter left her making a final wager: if she lost again, Ling Feng could do anything he wanted to her.

• Kiana won a round and made Ling Feng remove his shirt, then won again and made him take off his pants.
• Ling Feng stopped letting Kiana win and beat her in the next game, so Kiana removed her bra.

After discovering he had given True Kiana the wrong family ring, Ling Feng took it back and tried to persuade her to join him at St. Freya Academy. The pair continued exploring Nine Nether and found Himeko, Mei, Kiana, Bronya, and Fu Hua fighting a horde of Honkai Beasts near a huge stone gate.

• Ling Feng realized True Kiana wore the Kaslana Family ring intended for the other Kiana, then secretly took it back during the night.

• Ling Feng and True Kiana found Himeko, Mei, Kiana, Bronya, and Fu Hua battling Honkai Beasts before a sealed stone gate.

True Kiana joined Ling Feng and the others in fighting a huge Honkai Beast swarm, then introduced herself to Kiana as her long-lost older twin sister. The group accepted her claim for now, and True Kiana began telling Kiana that Ling Feng had mistreated her.

• True Kiana worried that Ling Feng might favor the Kiana everyone else recognized, but he reassured her that he considered both women his wives.
• True Kiana deployed White Knight: Aurora, and Ling Feng summoned Chiyou before they joined the battle against the Honkai Beasts.

• When Kiana asked how she had met Ling Feng, True Kiana cried and claimed he had forced her to live like a star slave.

• True Kiana claimed Ling Feng had stripped her during Fight the Landlord and made him her lover, prompting the Valkyries to prepare to attack him.

• Rita told Ling Feng she wanted a child too and suggested they work on it that night.

Ling Feng and the Valkyries discovered that three keys hidden along separate routes were needed to open the stone door in the Nine Nether ruins, then split into groups to retrieve them. Ling Feng and Rita traveled together, with Rita appearing to have deliberately arranged for him to handle the fighting as they pressed deeper into the ruins.

• True Kiana and Kiana both claimed Ling Feng’s attention, while Mei interrupted their argument by reminding everyone to find a way out of the ruins.
• Fu Hua recognized the stone door as familiar and identified three symbols linked to stone tablets at the three entrances; the group concluded that each route concealed a key.
• Ling Feng, Rita, Himeko, Bronya, True Kiana, Fu Hua, Kiana, and Mei split into three teams to search the routes for the keys.
• Ling Feng and Rita found mostly Honkai Beast corpses along Rita’s route, and Rita could not explain why so few remained alive.
• Ling Feng and Rita continued through groups of Honkai Beasts, with Ling Feng sometimes carrying Rita over them using Chiyou’s gravity.

Ling Feng and Rita retrieved a golden key after hiding from an Anti-Entropy battle, then returned to the stone gate and reunited with Himeko, True Kiana, and Bronya. True Kiana handed over the second key, and Himeko learned that she shared the name Kiana with her younger sister.

• Ling Feng and Rita encountered a huge horde of Honkai Beasts and flirted while trying to stay hidden; Anti-Entropy mechs soon attacked the horde, led by Anya.
• Ling Feng and Rita waited until Anti-Entropy left, then continued to a hall, where Ling Feng defeated a metal puppet and took a golden key from a stone stele.
• Ling Feng and Rita returned to the stone gate around six in the evening and found Himeko, True Kiana, and Bronya waiting.
• True Kiana gave Ling Feng the key she had found, and the two keys appeared to match the stone gate's left and right markings.
• Himeko asked why two people were named Kiana, and True Kiana explained that she had been given no name when she was kept secret; Ling Feng postponed deciding how to distinguish them.

Ling Feng and the others gathered the three keys to Nine Nether, but Fu Hua’s group returned injured after fighting two Emperor-class Honkai Beasts. After they ate and opened the stone gate, they found the Xuanyuan Sword in a vast hall, where Anya and a group of mechs ambushed them.

• While waiting for Fu Hua, Mei, and Kiana, Ling Feng prepared hotpot with Rita, Himeko, Bronya, and True Kiana.
• Fu Hua returned with Mei and Kiana, who explained that they had fought two Emperor-class Honkai Beasts and obtained the third key.

• The group entered a huge hall with an altar and identified the golden sword embedded in it as the Xuanyuan Sword.
• Anya appeared atop a mech with more mechs behind her and threatened to kill Bronya along with the others.

• The Xuanyuan Sword controlled Himeko, who attacked Kiana and the others until Fu Hua explained that the sword’s Herrscher consciousness had influenced her.
• Ling Feng and Fu Hua led the effort to stop Himeko, while True Kiana joined them and the others guarded the group.

• Fu Hua used Feathered Dust to suppress the sword’s Honkai energy, and Himeko regained consciousness while Ling Feng held her.

Ling Feng learned that Jilin had sealed Chi You and that Danzhu and others were trapped in a space inside the creature. Though the others escaped through Jilin’s weakening vortex, Ling Feng stayed behind with Fu Hua and Rita to try to rescue them, relying on the Queen’s plan to open the devouring space.
