Star Rail, Starting as Kiana

In the inn, March 7th suddenly felt something and stood up.

Ouyang watched as March 7th, who had been eating well, suddenly stood up. Even Stelle, who was holding a bowl to get food, was so startled by March 7th's sudden movement that she almost dropped the bowl.

"What's wrong?"

"Uncle Yang, it's nothing. I just don't know why, but I feel like someone is stealing my stuff."

"Oh right, Durandal, do you have an Interastral Peace Corporation account? We can add each other so it's easier to contact you if you go out."

"Yes, I do. My username is Dominating Moon Sea Fish Fish Cat."

"Is that so? That's so cute. Alright, I've added you. Please accept it."

Kiana was incredibly relieved that in a world where most people used their real names and only a few used nicknames, her contact nickname was Dominating Moon Sea Fish Fish Cat.

Otherwise, her identity would have been exposed by now.

Fu Xuan was starting to see her as a sister, or even a successor. If her identity were revealed, Fu Xuan might go dark.

Fu Xuan seemed to have something urgent to attend to and left, forcing her original plan to go shopping for clothes with Kiana to be canceled.

"Stay here and don't wander off. I need to handle some matters first, but I'll be back soon. If anything urgent comes up, just send me a message."

After saying that, Fu Xuan left the house.

It was only then that Kiana had the chance to sort out her current situation.

First, her personal belongings.

Mobile phone * 1.

She had taken it out while playing games with Silver Wolf.

If not for this, Kiana would have experienced what it was like to be unable to move an inch without money.

Next was the mask. She had taken it out while getting snacks and forgotten to put it back, but it wasn't very useful.

The rest of her things were a pile of snacks at Kafka's temporary residence, and a set of clothes provided by Silver Wolf out of friendship.

"Sigh, next time I should check if the company has any storage items to buy, so I don't run into this situation again."

When she opened her phone, Kiana discovered that besides having one new friend, there was also a message from an unknown account.

Without even opening it, Kiana knew it had to be Silver Wolf.

Hacker who was deceived: Fine, fine, fine, candy, right? A sweet school life, right? You white-haired girl, just you wait. You dared to deceive my feelings!

Following that were some words of praise for Kiana.

Kiana awkwardly wiped the sweat from her non-existent forehead.

Then, she chose to open the door, ignoring Fu Xuan's instructions before she left, and walked onto the streets of Xianzhou Luofu.

Whether it was the threads of fate guiding Kiana, or Kiana awakening some strange talent for getting lost.

Kiana's original plan was to stroll through the streets, see if Xiao Guizi and Sushang were still performing, and then go to Kafka's temporary residence to see if she was there.

But as she walked, Kiana felt that the scenery around her was a bit off.

"Huh? Where is this?"

There weren't many people around, only a few pedestrians hurrying past. Before Kiana could ask for directions, they had already brushed past her.

"Never mind, it's only morning. I'll keep looking around. If I can't find my way, I'll call for help."

Unexpectedly, in less than an hour, she was lost and even needed to call Fu Xuan for help. Kiana was starting to suspect if Aha was up to his tricks again.

Meanwhile, at the Star Skiff dock, a beautiful Fox Clan woman was walking through the streets of Luofu.

For some reason, she couldn't help but sneeze.

"Achoo!"

"Strange, where did that interesting person go? Why can't I find them myself?"

The people around were also attracted by her beautiful appearance and unique aura.

Even a few young men and women from the Fox Clan saw this unfamiliar fellow tribesperson and wanted to strike up a conversation.

However, as the Fox Clan woman continued to walk towards the nearest Star Skiff, these people stopped in their tracks.

"Strange, what was I just about to do?"

Kiana looked at the familiar figure ahead. Although she had just checked her phone not long ago, Kiana couldn't resist taking out her phone again to check the current time.

"Hmph!"

Even though she knew Qing Que was a master of slacking off, it was just the start of her shift.

Why was Qing Que so bold today, running off to play by herself so soon after starting work?

The opponents Qing Que was playing against were not the three figures from yesterday.

Two of them, though appearing youthful, exuded an aura of age that belied their appearance.

As for the third person, I hadn't seen them before, but they looked like they were from the Divination Department?

And a newcomer at that.

Their eyes kept darting around, suggesting this was their first day slacking off, and they'd been brought out by Qing Que.

"Senior Qing Que, weren't we supposed to be working? Why are we suddenly playing mahjong?"

"Eat!"

Taking a tile and placing it in front of herself, Qing Que said to the newcomer with the air of an experienced hand:

"Ah, this is actually part of the job. The Supreme Diviner told us to investigate today, but didn't specify a time. Instead of wandering around aimlessly and wasting time, why not find some old hands to ask for clues?"

"Little Qing Que, what are you saying? What do you mean 'old hands'? We, your fellow players, are just bored and like to wander around. Besides, we've already told you what you wanted to know; you're the one who got itchy hands and dragged us here."

"No way, this is for gathering intel. Qing Que has spent a lot of time getting intel."

The two elders exchanged a glance and sighed.

Sigh...

Chapter 73: Actress Qing Que

Kiana approached the pavilion where the group was.

However, this time, Kiana's approach was noticed.

This was because Qing Que's colleague wasn't paying attention to the mahjong game at all, fearing she might encounter a wild Supreme Diviner.

In the end, she didn't see a wild Supreme Diviner, but she did see a meticulously crafted little girl walking towards them.

She was a bit flustered, worried about being caught by the Supreme Diviner and severely reprimanded.

But seeing Kiana approach, she just assumed little Kiana was there to play, or perhaps a junior of Qing Que's two mahjong partners.

"Click!"

The sound of a shutter caught Qing Que's attention.

And as Qing Que turned to see who was taking pictures, a cold sweat broke out on her back.

"This... isn't this Sister Durandal? I'm sacrificing my own time for work, for investigating clues, I'm really not playing cards. Please, don't tell the Supreme Diviner!"

Qing Que couldn't bother with the game anymore, immediately covering her tiles and looking around.

Only when she no longer saw the familiar figure did she let out a long sigh of relief.

But thinking of the shutter sound just now, Qing Que's heart leaped into her throat again.

"As expected, it was the right decision to open the shutter. If I had just taken a secret photo to send to Fu Xuan, or to blackmail Qing Que, how could I have seen Qing Que's expression? How interesting!"

Unknowingly, Kiana seemed to be walking further and further down the path of Joy.

And because she was practicing Joy, Kiana's physical fitness, even with Aha's intervention to suppress it, continued to improve slowly.

But due to being too immersed in Joy, Kiana didn't notice the subtle changes in her body.

She just wore a sweet smile and watched Qing Que.

Despite her young appearance, Kiana's smile was so sweet that she exuded a unique charm.

She was like a cute little angel.

But in Qing Que's eyes, the person before her was anything but an angel.

Qing Que even seemed to see a pair of small horns appear above the other's head, and a tail appeared behind Kiana.

Even under the sun, the sunlight that fell on Kiana's fair skin seemed like waves of blood in Qing Que's eyes.

A pair of little devil wings also appeared on Kiana's back.

"Lord Durandal, please spare this humble one."

From behind, Qing Que's colleague's jaw dropped at Qing Que's sudden words.

Because she had only been working for a short time, she didn't recognize many people.

After hearing Qing Que's words, she imagined Kiana to be one of her superiors. As for why she looked so petite?

Was she kidding? This was Xianzhou!

Judging by appearances was a major taboo!

There was even a piece of unofficial history stating that the Dragon Lord of the Vidyadhara was a little loli.

There were even rumors that the General of the Luofu was also a young girl who had used some treasure to alter her appearance to what it is now.

Who cares if the unofficial history is right or wrong, just tell me if it's wild or not.

Kiana was also startled by Qing Que's sudden outburst.

Even she, who was gradually developing a "fun-loving" personality, couldn't help but take two steps back when Qing Que acted like this.

As if startled, she instinctively clutched the hem of her clothes, maintaining a safe distance from Qing Que.

This image makes it seem like Kiana is an innocent little girl who has been coerced by the great demon, Qing Que.

At least, that's how it would appear to someone who doesn't know the full story.

Fortunately, the three people present recently witnessed the entire event.

Even so, seeing the slightly trembling, pitiful-looking little Kiana, they couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy.

But with Qing Que's ability to read people, she was certain.

This little one, who looks delicate and weak, easily pushed around, is completely faking it right now.

If she hadn't come to the Divination Department and become a civil servant, with the superb acting she displayed when Fu Xuan caught her slacking off, Qing Que would definitely have a spot as the next generation's Galaxy Best Actress.

"Ah, it's so hot today. Little sister, are you thirsty too? I'll go buy you something to drink right away."

With that, Qing Que vanished in a flash.

Leaving her colleague behind.

The other two card players also packed up their game and chose to leave after seeing Qing Que depart.

"Um... this..."

Looking at the timid newcomer to the Divination Department before her, Kiana had no intention of playing a prank.

As for whether Qing Que would just run off and not come back?

With Qing Que's little brain, she wouldn't just run off like that, especially since Kiana held evidence of her slacking.

What's more, the one holding the evidence wasn't an outsider, but little Kiana, who shares a bed with Fu Xuan?

Not long after, Qing Que returned with four drinks.

"Here's yours, try it quickly. It won't taste as good once the ice melts."

Kiana took the Star Taro Bobo Qing Que handed her, inserted a straw, and took a small sip.

She found the taste to be quite good, not as bad as the rumors claimed. No wonder Fu Xuan liked it.
