Honkai Impact

Ling Feng: "..."

Alright, looking at this girl, she doesn't seem to be faking it...

Ling Feng continued imprinting, still using both hands. He easily imprinted the spear on the right side as well. Although only a small part was completed, the energy provided by this pattern could already be felt!

"Kiana, how is it now?"

Ling Feng stopped again...

"Mhm, mhm... Very comfortable, please continue..."

Kiana still looked like she was enjoying herself, showing no signs of discomfort at all...

Ling Feng: "..."

Ling Feng moved again, completing the horizontal pattern at the bottom. Just as he was about to ask, "Kiana..."

"Super comfortable, please continue, Ling Feng!"

Kiana had already learned to answer before he could even ask...

"Uh..."

Ling Feng was immediately taken aback. This was impossible. Normally, a B-rank Valkyrie would be at their limit by this point. Even if they weren't at their limit, they would show severe rejection symptoms, but...

Looking at Kiana's back, her skin was smooth, fair, and soft. The Stigmata patterns on Kiana's back were stable, with no signs of rejection. Could this girl really have the ability to withstand a five-star Stigmata?

It seemed he hadn't misjudged Kiana back then. This girl was indeed a genius in combat and talent. Moreover... her talent was almost too coincidental. Whether it was her body proportions or coordination, they could only be described as perfect, without a single flaw!

Compared to a Valkyrie, Ling Feng felt Kiana... was more like an artificial Valkyrie created through genetic modification!

Ling Feng took a deep breath and said, "Kiana, I'm going to perform the final imprinting step. If you feel anything uncomfortable, please..."

"I must tell you if I can't, don't push yourself, I know... Hurry up and continue, Ling Feng..." Kiana seemed impatient and answered before he could finish again...

There was no other way. Ling Feng had to perform the final imprinting for the Queen Stigmata, drawing the bow-shaped pattern and the spear in the middle connected to it. Finally, energy was injected...

"Ahhh... Woo woo..."

Kiana suddenly cried out. Although it was comfortable... there was also some pain. She quickly endured it...

Finally, the energy injection was complete. An imperfect Queen Stigmata (Upper) was imprinted. It looked no different from a four-star Stigmata, but the energy contained within was several times higher than that of a four-star Stigmata. Although there would be no noticeable feeling before activation...

"Kiana, how do you feel?"

Mei leaned in front of Kiana, her face full of concern...

"I... I'm fine, very good..."

Kiana tentatively activated the Stigmata on her back. Instantly, endless energy surged into her body like a flood, and her body felt an unprecedented sense of freedom and satisfaction from the immense power!

"Ahhh!"

Kiana couldn't help but roar, and then an energy shockwave erupted from her body. Although it didn't destroy anything, it blew some books and clothes in the room a short distance away...

At the same time, a golden light flashed in Kiana's eyes. Feeling her own power, Kiana slowly got off the bed, stood up straight, and began to try to gather energy!

As Kiana's energy began to gather, the surrounding space was disturbed, and a hurricane centered on Kiana began to spin...

"Hahahaha, hahaha, this power, haha..."

Feeling the power, Kiana suddenly had an overwhelming urge to destroy something. However, her reason told her that this was Mei's room and she couldn't destroy it. But... she really, really wanted to destroy something!

"Thump..."

"Meeeow..."

Suddenly, Kiana felt a sharp headache and squatted down, clutching her head. The golden light in her eyes vanished, and the terrifying energy aura surrounding her also disappeared. Finally, she turned to Ling Feng with a wronged expression, "Why did you hit me?"

"Because you're stupid!"

Ling Feng suddenly regretted imprinting the Stigmata for this girl. He said with annoyance, "I won't even mention activating the Stigmata here, but what else were you trying to do? Destroy this place? Didn't I tell you, the energy of a five-star Stigmata is extremely powerful. Do you want to flatten this place?"

"Eh... S-sorry, I... I forgot..."

Kiana didn't dare to retort and felt a bit scared. What she had just done... she really did want to destroy the place. Fortunately, she snapped back to her senses in time...

Seeing Kiana's wronged expression, Ling Feng couldn't say anything more. When a beautiful girl made a mistake and apologized so sincerely, what else could he do? Of course, he had to forgive her. Moreover...

They say it's common sense to show your chest when apologizing, and Kiana fully demonstrated this common sense. Let's start describing the visual impression!

First, while the scale wasn't as grand as Mei's, it was somewhat similar to Yuqi's. However, the shape was perfect, fitting snugly in one hand, with a hint of cleavage. It was full and evenly proportioned, with just the right size. As the saying goes, a small lotus bud just peeking out, already... Brake, engine off...

"Hm?"

After apologizing, Kiana also froze for a moment. But... she suddenly noticed that Ling Feng was also spacing out, and...

Slightly lowering her head, Kiana instantly understood everything...

"Eh... Ling Feng, you..."

Kiana instinctively covered herself with her hands, but then felt a little... Kiana said softly, "Um... If, if you want to, if it's Ling Feng, then I..."

"Ahem!"

Ling Feng coughed dryly and turned away. "This old monk has long seen through the vanity of the world and does not concern himself with worldly affairs. Please, female benefactor, put on your clothes and do not attempt to tempt this monk!"

Kiana: "..."

"Heh... Heh heh..."

Kiana's energy began to condense again, her eyes filled with killing intent. "Very good, heh heh... very good!"

"Nice ass!"

Ling Feng flew directly out the window. Fortunately, it was only the second floor, so it wasn't a big problem...

Chapter 52: Mei's Occasional Sadness!

Returning to the second floor, Kiana had already put on her clothes. But when she saw Ling Feng, she still snorted and turned her head away, seemingly... still angry...

"Uh... Kiana, don't be angry anymore, okay? I apologize, I apologize!"

There was no other way, so he apologized. Ling Feng walked up to Kiana and sincerely apologized. If he pretended not to see her, he and Kiana would probably drift apart in the future!

"Hmph!"

Kiana turned her head to the other side again, still very angry...

Ling Feng: "..."

Mei, standing nearby, couldn't stand it anymore. She revealed a helpless smile and quietly leaned into Ling Feng's ear, whispering something...

"Hmm?"

Ling Feng thought, that makes sense. He immediately said, "Kiana, next week... how about I take you out to play? And this time, I'll let you buy more snacks. If you're willing, just say yes!"

"Eh?"

Subconsciously, Kiana wanted to nod in agreement, but then she suddenly remembered that she was still angry. If she forgave him so easily, where would her dignity go? Was she the kind of person who could be provoked and then coaxed so easily? No!

Therefore, Kiana remained unmoved!

"If you don't want to go... then forget it..."

Ling Feng deliberately sighed and smiled, "Mei, Bronya, then let's go next week. I don't think Kiana will forgive me!"

"Wait!"

Kiana immediately changed her mind and hurriedly wanted to nod in agreement, but then she suddenly crossed her arms and said with a proud expression, "Hmph, although I'm very angry, I'll forgive you for now since you're willing to treat me to good food!"

"Then I'm truly grateful, my dear Miss Kiana..."

Seeing that Kiana could be appeased so easily, Ling Feng was in a good mood. He decided that if he wanted to tease anyone in the future, it would be Kiana, because she was easier to coax. Simply put, as long as he kept feeding her, it would work!

"Ling Feng, then... can you imprint a five-star Stigmata on me too!"

Seeing that Ling Feng and Kiana's matter was resolved, Mei brought up the matter of imprinting Stigmata. Her face showed a hint of composure, and she smiled, "Since Kiana can imprint a five-star Stigmata, then... I think I should be able to too!"

"Okay, no problem!"

Imprinting for Mei was his duty and a matter of course!

Afterward, Mei didn't even bother to change out of her swimsuit. Just like that day, she took off her upper clothing and lay down on the bed, exposing her back, waiting for the imprinting!

"Still the Queen Stigmata!"

Ling Feng silently picked up the eraser pen, erased the original Stigmata patterns on Mei's body, massaged her, and finally prepared to imprint...

"Ahhh... I... it hurts..."

However, compared to Kiana, as soon as Ling Feng finished drawing one of the Queen Stigmata's spears, Mei couldn't help but cry out. And... this didn't sound like a sound of pleasure, and the Stigmata energy on her back was extremely unstable...

"Mei, are you okay?"

Ling Feng quickly erased the Stigmata patterns, and the unstable energy disappeared with it...

"I... I'm fine, it's just... a little painful..."

Mei's condition was not good. A large amount of sweat had already broken out on her body, and her body was also a bit weak. Even Ling Feng could feel it through his hands...

"Then... then let's not imprint today. You should rest first."

Looking at Mei's condition, Ling Feng was hesitant to imprint on her again. As expected, even though Mei's talent was extraordinary, there was still a big gap compared to Kiana. For a B-rank Valkyrie to imprint a five-star Stigmata, this was the normal reaction!

"No... I want to!"

Mei, for the first time, didn't follow Ling Feng's suggestion. Instead, she turned to look at him, her eyes full of determination. She smiled slightly, "If the Queen Stigmata doesn't work, then let's change it. I don't need the strongest, as long as it's something I can withstand!"

"Eh... but..."

Ling Feng was still very hesitant...

"Please, give it to me!"

Mei said again, her tone firm and decisive!

"Alright, one last time!"

Seeing Mei's firm resolve, Ling Feng could only decide to perform one more imprinting for Mei. But if it failed this time, then absolutely no more imprinting could be done today!

Thus, Ling Feng changed Mei to a set of five-star Stigmata. The energy of this set of Stigmata was relatively mild. There were a total of three steps. After the first step, Mei's condition was normal. After the second step, Mei began to feel uncomfortable, and the Stigmata energy on her back started to become unstable again...

"Wuwu..."

Mei let out a sound of discomfort...

"We can't continue!"

Ling Feng quickly erased the Stigmata on Mei's back without giving her a chance to object. "The energy has already started becoming unstable. If you force the last pattern, it will definitely harm you. Mei, I'm very sorry, but you can't withstand a five-star Stigmata!"

"Yes..."

Mei gritted her teeth. Although she was unwilling, this was the reality. She... ultimately couldn't withstand the energy brought by the five-star Stigmata. Just as Ling Feng had told her the first time he imprinted Stigmata for her, she... was still too weak!

Ling Feng silently turned around. Mei put on her clothes and sat on the bed, feeling a little dejected...

"Ling Feng..."

Mei, knowing her strength was still far from enough, turned to look at Ling Feng and said firmly, "I... I want to become stronger, much stronger..."

Ling Feng: "..." Don't look at me like that. I'm not your dream mentor. Turning around won't help...

"Becoming stronger isn't difficult. What's difficult is perseverance!"

Ling Feng said silently, "You're already very strong. To become stronger, you can only continuously train and constantly fight Honkai Beasts. But the stronger you get, the more your body will be eroded by Honkai energy. Moreover... although I don't want to say this, becoming too strong isn't a good thing. The consciousness of Honkai will eventually corrupt you, turning you into a Herrscher!"

"..."

Mei wanted to say something but hesitated. Herrscher... Although it gave her immense power, it also turned her into a dangerous person who could go berserk at any moment. Furthermore...

In the last battle, if Ling Feng hadn't risked his life to stop her, she might have really done something irreversible. Was it possible... she shouldn't have walked the path of a Valkyrie at all?

Mei suddenly became dispirited. Was her dream really that hard to achieve?

"Mei!"

As if sensing Mei's dejection, Ling Feng suddenly walked behind her, gently hugged her from behind, and smiled softly, "Did you forget something? Even if you become a Herrscher, don't forget, your father left you a gift..."
