"Kafka, why don't we just keep Kiana instead of returning her? She's quite cute like this. Can we take her back and raise her?"

"Stop messing around."

Looking at the little one puffing up in front of her, Kafka snatched Kiana from Silver Wolf's arms and held her close.

She let Kiana lean against her chest, using her ample bosom as a pillow for the little one.

Kafka even took off her gloves, her delicate fingers tracing through Kiana's hair, smoothing it out. She also adjusted Kiana's ill-fitting clothes, freeing the little hands from the sleeves.

"Kafka, what he said was actually right. You really suit being a mother?"

"Oh, so I'm the mother, and you're... what, an aunt?"

"That works too. Then, should Blade be called 'Uncle' or 'Grandpa'?"

Looking at Kiana, who was behaving so well in her arms, Kafka's words never stopped, but her mind was a complete mess.

She had brought Kiana out, and after leaving her own clues, she had planned to leave more clues about Kiana as bait.

She intended to let Kiana go once Jing Yuan recovered.

Now, Jing Yuan hadn't even recovered yet, and Kiana had turned into a child first.

"Right, Kiana, do you have any clothes that fit you now? You can't go out like this."

"Wait, let me look."

Kiana waved her hand in the air but found that the door to the Imaginary space wouldn't open. She tried a few more times, but it was no use.

But Kiana thought about it carefully, and it made sense. If she had regressed to her childhood, she would indeed just be a child with slightly better physical fitness.

But the problem was, what about her clothes? She couldn't possibly wear the old ones, could she?

Silver Wolf seemed to sense Kiana's thoughts and took out a small vest from the luggage prepared for their trip.

After putting it on the current Kiana, it turned out the originally small vest fit perfectly. The short-sleeved vest meant there was no worry about the sleeves being too long.

And so, Kiana was led out the door by Kafka and Silver Wolf.

Looking at the two people walking beside her, holding her hands, one on her left and one on her right.

Kiana suddenly had the illusion of being taken out by her parents.

It's just that, considering Silver Wolf's build, calling her an elder felt a bit off. Even though Kiana had regressed to a child's form, Silver Wolf's figure wasn't much better.

At most, she was like an older sister.

Kiana only realized after going outside that she hadn't been taken far away at all. They were on the same street that Tingyun had taken her shopping on yesterday.

Kafka and Silver Wolf seemed to have spotted something. They let go of Kiana's hands, telling her to stay put and not move, and that they would be right back.

Watching the two disappear from her sight, Kiana couldn't help but mutter.

"You guys really trust me, don't you? Aren't you afraid I'll just go back?"

But perhaps it was because Kiana had become smaller, her disposition also turning childish. The sound of gongs and drums nearby caught Kiana's attention.

Chapter 66: If She Doesn't Wake Up, I'll Be a Bottom Forever!

"Come one, come all."

"My sisters and I will perform the 'chest-smashing stone' act together! Those with money, please support us with your coins; those without, support us with your presence! Friends in the livestream can also give free likes."

After saying all that, Guinaifen wiped the sweat from her hands and picked up the large iron hammer beside her, preparing to smash.

"Hey, are you ready?"

"Wait, wait! Why am I the one lying down for the chest-smashing stone? Shouldn't you be the one?"

Sushang was panicking like crazy. She had thought she would be the one swinging the hammer. Just now, she was worried about her friend's safety.

Instead, she found herself inexplicably lying on a bed made of two wooden chairs, with a stone slab at least ten centimeters thick placed on her chest.

Watching Guinaifen lift the hammer, her steps a little shaky, Sushang was truly terrified.

But no matter how scared she was, it was useless. She didn't have time to run.

Guinaifen swung the hammer above her head and brought it down hard on the center of the stone slab.

With a "crack," the stone slab shattered. What also shattered was Sushang's heart, which had been pounding in her throat.

"Hey, Sushang, hey, are you okay? Why are you rolling your eyes? Wait, what's floating out of your mouth? Wait, don't scare me!"

Guinaifen no longer cared about the viewers' tips or the comments in the livestream.

She didn't even have time to thank the top supporter, "Cat-Petting Emissary," for the "Diting Storm" gift. She quickly placed her phone on the stand and checked on her good sister's condition.

"Murder!"

Someone shouted, and the sudden cry from the crowd stirred up a commotion. The circle of people who had gathered instantly scattered.

Only a few people remained to watch.

Among them was our cute Kiana.

"Move aside, I'm a doctor. Let me take a look."

Hearing the sweet, melodious, yet slightly childish voice, Guinaifen froze.

When Guinaifen realized the "Doctor" Kiana mentioned was actually her, she quickly moved aside.

But upon seeing that it was just a little girl approaching, Guinaifen wanted to stop her.

"It's fine, she just got startled. She's quite resilient. Even without the slate, if you smashed her directly, she'd probably just yelp and recover."

"Huh? Little sis, is what you're saying true?"

"Of course. If you don't believe me, I'll teach you a way to make her wake up instantly."

"Huh? Really?"

Kiana beckoned Guinaifen closer.

But as Guinaifen got closer, she stood there stiffly. Kiana's face instantly puffed up.

"Squat down a bit!"

"Oh, okay!"

Guinaifen squatted down and leaned in to hear Kiana's whisper.

After listening, Guinaifen looked at Kiana with some confusion. "Little sis, is what you're saying true? Will Sushang wake up like this?"

"Trust me. If she doesn't wake up, I'll have to be a '0' from now on."

Although she didn't know what Kiana meant by "0," seeing Kiana's serious expression, she figured it must be a cultural difference.

So, she leaned over to the unconscious Sushang and whispered:

"Sushang! You got a 99 on the exam, you're first place this time."

Sushang, who had been unconscious, suddenly jumped up and grabbed Guinaifen's hand, mumbling groggily, "Mr. Xuehong, is it true? Am I dreaming!"

"It's fake."

Jing Yuan Yuan, watching the live broadcast in the Divination Department, twitched her lips. She knew Sushang's situation; while her academic performance was average, her parents' special status couldn't be ignored.
