Star Rail, Becoming Kiana at the Start

"That's all for today."

After organizing all the case files and documents, she turned off the last light and tiptoed to the bedside.

She lifted a corner of the blanket, her movements incredibly gentle, afraid of waking Kiana, who had already fallen asleep beside her.

Seeing that little Kiana was still asleep and seemed to be having a good dream, Fu Xuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She slowly drew closer to the little one, holding Kiana in her arms like the doll she usually slept with.

Sniffing the faint, fresh scent from Kiana's hair, Fu Xuan leaned down and whispered to her:

"Goodnight."

Tonight, Fu Xuan slept soundly, a feeling she hadn't experienced in a long time.

Was Kiana truly having a sweet dream, just as Fu Xuan had wished?

After careful consideration, the author, with nothing better to do, has decided to start a bounty.

Mainly because I haven't had any orders lately while helping others, and suddenly have a lot of free time.

I sought advice from a senior and plan to try out a bounty first.

One chapter for every 150 monthly votes.

One chapter for every 10,000 cat coins.

One chapter for every 100 blade shards.

The seniors told me never to offer unlimited bonus chapters for recommendations, or I'll turn into a writing machine, locked away in a dark room to churn out words. But I feel like, given my current situation, that won't happen.

I'll deal with it if it does.

One chapter for every 4k recommendations.

Then I'll screenshot the current data. But for ease of calculation, with 104 monthly votes now, I'll start counting from 100. For recommendations, starting from 3k with 3164 currently. As for blade shards and rewards, they are the readers' kind intentions and support, so I'll start from 0 as I'm too lazy to calculate.

But you don't need to specifically spend money to reward me. I'm happy if you can vote and read every day.

Chapter 71: All the Pain Flew Away

Kiana wasn't sure if she was dreaming.

Because the scene here felt less like her own dream.

And more like a Path's interstice.

But there were no other Aeons here, only Aha appearing before her.

"Hahaha, you look so cute right now!"

"How is it, how is it, how does it feel to be held in Big Sister's arms?"

"How does it feel to be taken care of like a child, even having your tofu eaten?"

"Weren't you excited to be almost stuffed into a sack by your former companion!"

"Lan came to find you, surprise, surprise."

But facing Aha's nonsensical ramblings, Kiana merely crossed her arms, her eyes closed, and quietly watched Aha's performance.

"Aha is so embarrassed, why aren't you paying attention to Aha?"

But Kiana remained motionless, not saying a word.

She even raised an eyebrow.

Her expression clearly said:

"Please, continue your performance. I'm watching."

It was fortunate that there were no outsiders present. Otherwise, if anyone else found out that someone was being so rude to an Aeon, they would surely be greatly shocked.

What, you say she's facing Aha?

Never mind then.

Seeing that Aha had stopped talking but hadn't left, nor was she letting her leave, Kiana understood that if she didn't say anything, Aha might take this silence as an amusement.

"Aha, tell me, is my current state, and the matter with Jing Yuan and Lan, also related to you?"

"Aha? Exposed?"

Hardened. My fists have hardened.

For some reason, even though Aha's true form was always shrouded in shadow, and even his voice couldn't be identified as male or female, only a pile of clown masks was revealed.

Kiana felt as if she saw a certain wind god from the neighboring production of Genshin Impact within the shadows.

What?

Has the Barbados Virus spread so ridiculously that even an Aeon has been infected?

"That mask isn't also...?"

"Ehehe!"

Damn it!

If it weren't for the fact that she was being toyed with by Aha, Kiana would really want to punch Aha right now to correct their "illness."

But perhaps?

If she really went for it, would Aha be even happier?

Damn it, I can't reward Aha!

Seeing that Kiana wasn't talking to them again, Aha didn't keep her in suspense any longer.

They told her everything they had done.

"Your current state has nothing to do with Aha. Aha just made a few minor adjustments."

"Like what?"

"Like extending the duration of the effect, like locking down your spatial abilities, turning you into an ordinary little girl. You're welcome, Aha did what they should."

Listening to Aha's laughter, Kiana seemed to understand why everyone avoided this Aeon of Joy like the plague.

This guy really had no sense of proportion when causing trouble.

It was fortunate that even with the impending chaos and various factions gathering behind the scenes, the Luofu still appeared stable and peaceful from the public's perspective.

If this had happened on another planet, Kiana suspected that being tricked by Aha like this might have caused her to traverse dimensions again.

As for the mask, Aha also explained.

It was true that Aha's power was left on the mask, but this time, Aha was different from the last time with the Noblesse Worm.

Aha hadn't bestowed too much power upon Kiana, but had instead applied a kind of stealth barrier to the mask.

As long as the mask was with Kiana, the other Aeons wouldn't be able to detect Kiana's location.

"So, you're saying you applied abilities to the mask to protect me, but why does it feel like you did it for fun? You just want to watch the other Aeons try to find me and fail, right?"

"Hahaha."

Kiana wanted to say more, but Aha's figure gradually faded.

Kiana also felt as if someone was shaking her body.

When she opened her eyes, she saw Fu Xuan, who was already fully dressed, waking her up. Kiana then realized that it was already morning.

"Time to get up. Let's have some breakfast first, then I'll take you to buy some clothes and daily necessities."

Although Kiana was still reluctant to leave her warm bed, she managed to break free from its "seal" and emerged from the covers, putting on the new clothes Fu Xuan had given her.

It was a very cute little princess dress.

On Kiana, it made her look like a little princess from a noble background.

Even Fu Xuan, who had seen countless people, couldn't help but nod when she saw Kiana in her new outfit.

"As expected of my choice, it fits perfectly."

Seeing that Kiana had changed and washed up, Fu Xuan pulled the slightly dazed Kiana, who was still groggy from Aha's mischief in her dreams last night, to the dining table.

Two simple breakfasts were already placed on the table.

Fu Xuan pulled out a chair for Kiana. After Kiana sat down, she moved a chair next to Kiana and began to enjoy breakfast with her.

"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"

Kiana didn't mean to.

But if her own breakfast was considered normal, then Fu Xuan's was a bit too bizarre.

She looked at the small plate of green salad, a fried egg, a bowl of rice porridge, and a glass of milk in front of her.

It was normal and considered nutritionally balanced.

But Fu Xuan?

If milk tea counted as milk, cake counted as egg, and sugar that had crystallized out of the excessive amount counted as porridge, then...

With a breakfast that was bursting with sugar, Kiana couldn't understand how Fu Xuan could eat it so with such gusto.

And the most unbelievable thing was, with such a high sugar intake, how did Fu Xuan maintain her figure?

Kiana could only be thankful that Fu Xuan knew her own diet was unusual. Otherwise, if Kiana had the same breakfast as Fu Xuan, she might have exploded.

But in response to Fu Xuan's question, Kiana still gave a sweet smile and said in a childish voice, "It's nothing, Sister Fu Xuan. I just saw that you got up so early to cook. You've worked hard."

Upon hearing Kiana's words, Fu Xuan suddenly felt that this little one was truly adorable.

She finally understood why so many people were caught for carrying out the "Light Source Plan."

If all children were as well-behaved and cute as Kiana.

And hugging her at night was more comfortable than any body pillow Fu Xuan had ever bought.

Fu Xuan could understand those people.

Four spiritual shots...

Fu Xuan's gaze towards Kiana even seemed a bit...

"No, no, I must be too stressed lately. What am I even thinking?"

Fu Xuan bit her thin lips lightly. The slight sting brought her back to reality.

Seeing Fu Xuan suddenly shake her head to herself and then bite her silver teeth into her pink lips, Kiana, for some unknown reason, tossed her shoes aside and stepped onto the chair with her small feet, clad in the same white stockings as Fu Xuan.

Kiana's small hands then began to gently stroke the top of Fu Xuan's head.

"It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt. All the ouchies are flying away."

Chapter 72: March 7th: Oh no, someone's raiding the base!

Fu Xuan and Kiana both froze in place.

Fu Xuan hadn't expected that the action she'd taken out of a fleeting mischievous thought would cause this little one, whom she'd only met a day ago, to worry.

She had even come over to comfort her.

Fu Xuan felt as though she had found her sun, a ray of light in a life filled with endless work and unreliable superiors and subordinates.

As for Kiana, she didn't know why she had acted like a child and made such a move.

"Damn it, it must be Aha's fault."

Regardless of the consequences, the best course of action was to blame Aha.

Fu Xuan rubbed Kiana's little head, finding this child incredibly adorable. In fact, her status in Fu Xuan's heart had now surpassed that of a brown sugar taro bubble tea.

Watching Kiana return to her seat, her small, slightly chubby face slowly flushed, whether from shyness or because her body temperature had risen after breakfast.

Her small feet in white stockings couldn't reach the ground and swung back and forth.

Fu Xuan felt her thoughts momentarily halt. When her thoughts returned, she realized she had already leaned close to Kiana.

Her own pink lips had just met Kiana's cheek.
