Honkai Impact

"I have no objections!"

Mei nodded slightly, indicating her agreement.

"Bronya agrees too, right?"

Ling Feng cast a final glance at Bronya.

"Bronya agrees!"

Bronya had no intention of objecting either.

And so, tomorrow's schedule was decided. The "celebration" was really just buying some good food and having a meal together, but everyone was quite happy about it.

That night, Kiana drifted off to sleep, dreaming of a grand feast. Mei and Bronya also returned to their rooms early to rest. After all, the day's battles had consumed a lot of energy and stamina, so resting early was for the best.

Ling Feng, however, found himself unable to sleep.

It wasn't due to any worries; he simply couldn't settle down. A sense of unease lingered in his heart.

I should go for a walk...

After a moment's thought, Ling Feng decided to go out. He recalled that a week ago, on this very day, at this very time, he had gone out for a stroll and inexplicably met Mei and the others.

Unknowingly, he had been in this era for a week. Although it had only been a week, it felt like much longer.

Ling Feng cautiously went downstairs, afraid of waking the other three. He finally opened the apartment door and stepped outside.

Leaving the apartment, Ling Feng habitually walked in the direction of the teaching building and eventually stopped by the pond. For some reason, standing by the pond helped calm his mind.

He sat on a bench by the lake, a sense of confusion washing over him. What should I do about the future?

Recalling Mei and Bronya's experiences, Ling Feng felt a pang of worry for their futures. Herrscher...

The word was not unfamiliar to Ling Feng. He knew what a Herrscher represented. Although Mei seemed relatively normal now, if she continued to be a Valkyrie, her consciousness would likely be eroded by the Honkai.

"Sigh..."

Ling Feng couldn't help but sigh.

"Sighing often can make happiness slip away!"

"Mei?"

Ling Feng heard a familiar voice. He turned and saw Mei, wearing her favorite blue and white dress. She hadn't dressed up specially; she had just showered earlier.

"Can you tell me why Ling Feng is sighing?"

Mei walked up behind Ling Feng but didn't sit down. She simply stood behind him, separated by the bench.

"I'm thinking about what to do in the future."

Ling Feng didn't intend to hide anything from Mei. He lay back on the bench, tilting his head back to look at her.

"Does Ling Feng want a massage?"

Mei didn't interrupt. Instead, she placed her hands on Ling Feng's temples, smiling at him.

"Very much!"

Ling Feng gave a decisive affirmative answer. Seriously, how could I refuse at a time like this?

Then, Ling Feng felt Mei's small hands massaging his head. They were soft and gentle, making it hard to believe they belonged to a girl who practiced with a katana all day.

Furthermore, Ling Feng couldn't comment on Mei's technique because he didn't know how to evaluate it, but it was incredibly comfortable. It felt as if he were about to float away, even making him wish time would freeze at that very moment.

"Mmm, this feels so good..."

Ling Feng couldn't help but groan. This was what they called karma. A few days ago, he had used his Imprint Stigmata technique to make Mei cry out in pleasure, and today, Mei was returning the favor with her unique massage technique.

"If Ling Feng wishes, I can massage you every day, but only if I have time!" Mei said with a calm smile, feeling a little proud of her massage skills, which she believed were the best in the world.

"I feel like this is the most worthwhile thing I've done as Team 233's assistant," Ling Feng murmured, closing his eyes. He couldn't help it; it felt too good, so good it made him want to ascend.

"Ling Feng, do you know about our situation?" Mei asked casually while massaging him.

"If you're referring to the Third Herrscher and Bronya's bio-chip, then I already know!" Ling Feng replied truthfully, his eyes still closed. It wasn't a secret, and they would have to reveal it eventually.

"Do you have anything to say?"

Mei's voice remained calm and collected.

"Why are you so determined to become a Valkyrie?" Ling Feng asked softly. "I think Tesla and the others must have told you that the best way to suppress a Herrscher's power is not to become a Valkyrie. Any stimulation could cause your consciousness to be eroded by the Honkai."

"I'm sorry, Ling Feng. I have my reasons, reasons I need to hold onto," Mei replied unhurriedly.

"Can you tell me?" Ling Feng wanted to understand Mei's reasons and, more importantly, understand Mei herself.

Mei stopped her movements, seemingly in thought. Finally, she asked, "Ling Feng, after we go shopping tomorrow, can you accompany me for a walk alone? I'll tell you my reasons then."

Kiana Kaslana hereby orders you: will you collect first, vote first, or take a shot from me first?

Chapter 32: Goddess's Fake Holiday!

The next day!

Ling Feng accompanied the "fully armed" trio to Shanghai. The so-called fully armed just meant wearing clothes they didn't usually wear. Even Mei had changed into clothes Ling Feng had never seen before...

As the unfortunate assistant, Ling Feng's outerwear, apart from the set he brought from fifty thousand years ago, was only the school uniform issued by the academy. It was best not to wear the school uniform today, so he decided to wear the clothes from fifty thousand years ago!

Bronya didn't bring Project Bunny today either. Instead, Mei held her hand as she walked with her prosthetic limbs. Ling Feng knew that Bronya's limbs below the knee were prosthetics...

As if they had arrived in a long-lost city, all three seemed very happy, but Bronya remained expressionless...

Although they had been here a few days ago, that was during a mission. There was no chance to have fun, and it wasn't a pleasant experience. It was definitely different from coming out to play specifically today!

Moreover, to make them happy, Ling Feng generously used his salary to buy them gifts. Of course, there was a limit to the amount. I'm talking about you, Kiana. Don't look at me like that. Even if you look at me like that, I can't buy so many snacks...

Mei didn't have any particular preferences. If she had to say, it would probably be clothes. Although she seemed to have quite a few clothes in the apartment, Ling Feng could roughly see some issues. That is...

Most of Mei's clothes were generally too small in certain areas, making it always feel like Mei's chest was about to burst out. I don't know how long these clothes have been bought...

So Mei bought several favorite outfits, all of the styles she had been following and liking!

As for Bronya, she liked buying games, Hohom comics, and merchandise. This girl is a bit... forget it. Anyway, as I said at the beginning, just buy what they like. So, as long as you're happy...

After shopping all morning, taking pictures, and shopping around, they also satisfied Kiana's craving for a big meal at noon!

On Mei's recommendation, the four of them finally went to a relatively high-end buffet restaurant. Mei said that the food here was quite good, and she had been there before, so they came here!

Of course, the main reason was that Mei knew Kiana's appetite. When inviting Kiana to eat, it was best to choose a buffet. If it were a regular restaurant, the person inviting would cry, but with a buffet, it would probably be the restaurant owner who would cry!

In short, either Ling Feng or the restaurant owner would cry. It's better to let a fellow Taoist die than to let oneself die. Mei indeed chose to make the restaurant owner cry!

Ling Feng also witnessed what a surprise was and was very grateful to Mei. Thanks to Mei's recommendation to eat at the buffet, otherwise, his salary might not have been enough for Kiana to eat...

In the end, the restaurant owner didn't cry, but whether Kiana was blacklisted is unknown...

After lunch, the group first found a dessert shop to enjoy their post-meal treats. Parfaits and sundaes, they ordered them all. Anyway, all three of them liked sweets. At the same time, Bronya took out her phone and started playing games. Kiana was similar. Although with her intelligence, playing Hohom Adventure was a trap, Bronya could still carry her!

Just like that, after a while, Mei said faintly, "Kiana, Bronya, Mei and Ling Feng have other things to do. You two rest here. We'll be back later!"

"Bronya received. Mei-sister, you can go ahead!" Bronya could roughly guess what Mei wanted to do. Anyway, this wasn't the first time!

"Ho ho..."

Kiana showed a curious expression, then chuckled sinisterly, "A date?"

"Mhm, that's right!"

Mei didn't refute, she just smiled back at Kiana, because she knew Kiana couldn't possibly not know what she was going to do!

"Tch, boring. Come back early!"

Kiana turned her gaze back to the game!

"Let's go, Ling Feng!" Mei made a gesture of invitation and then walked out of the shop proactively!

"Coming!"

Ling Feng hurriedly followed. Although he still didn't quite understand what Mei was going to do, it was what he had agreed with Mei yesterday, so let's go!

Leaving the dessert shop, the two took the subway. Ling Feng didn't ask Mei where they were going. Anyway, he would find out soon. As for the date, Ling Feng naturally didn't believe it. Mei wasn't that kind of person, and the reactions of Kiana and Bronya just now were too calm, which was suspicious!

"Aren't you asking anything?"

On the subway, Mei said to Ling Feng beside her!

"In your words, if you want to say something, you'll tell me. If you don't want to say it, asking will only make things awkward!" Ling Feng smiled and used Mei's previous answer to answer her!

"Mm, we're almost there!"

Mei nodded gently and then stopped talking!

Soon, the two left the subway and followed Mei to an unfamiliar place, although all places in Shanghai were unfamiliar to Ling Feng!

"A prison?"

Finally, the two stopped outside a prison. This truly surprised Ling Feng. Ling Feng had thought of many possibilities, but he really hadn't thought of a prison!

"Shanghai International Prison. The people inside are relatively important individuals and do not receive the treatment of criminals, except for their freedom!" Following Mei, Ling Feng also entered the prison. Then Mei took out the prepared documents and finally arrived at the visiting area!

After waiting for a while, a man was led over by two prison guards...

"Dad!"

Mei called out urgently, a hint of genuine excitement appearing on her face?

Dad? This is Mei's father? That is...

Father-in-law? Uh... cough cough!

"Long time no see, my good daughter!"

The man sat opposite Mei, looking at his daughter through the glass, a smile on his face!

Ling Feng took this opportunity to size up Mei's father, Raiden Ryoma. He had almost the same hair color as Mei, but his hair was also long, and he looked quite young. This was normal, as Mei wasn't that old...

After sitting down, Ryoma noticed Ling Feng looking at him and asked curiously, "Mei's boyfriend?"

Ling Feng replied without hesitation, "That's right, I am..."

"Our team's assistant, Ling Feng!" Mei interjected, offering to answer for him.

Ling Feng: "..." Mourning...

"Oh, hoo hoo..."

Hearing Mei's words, Ryoma seemed to relax...

Ling Feng: "..." Why do I feel so annoyed...

"Just kidding, young man!"

However, Ryoma immediately laughed again, "I know about your Team 233's situation, so I'll have to rely on you a lot from now on. Remember to take good care of Mei too!"

"That's my duty, and I'm willing!" Although he was still a bit unhappy with this uncle, he had to maintain his image in front of him, after all, he was Mei's dad!

Chapter 33: Is this official recognition from my father-in-law?

"Dad, we've already become a B-rank Valkyrie team!"

Mei spoke, "With Ling Feng's help, Kiana has also become a B-rank Valkyrie. And Ling Feng is very capable. I believe I'll be promoted to an A-rank Valkyrie soon, and then I can work towards our ultimate goal of becoming an S-rank Valkyrie. At that time, I'll be able to use more privileges to find clues about Dad being framed!"

"Then I'm truly looking forward to it!"
