Kiana's Child?
Fu Xuan had figured it out after just one afternoon.
Whether Kiana had any talent for divination was still up for debate, but there was one thing Fu Xuan could confirm.
Teaching this girl was no easier than getting Qing Que to turn over a new leaf.
Kiana was naturally brilliant, and could grasp many things with just a little guidance.
Yet she was always spacing out from time to time—or talking herself off track.
In the end, Fu Xuan gave up.
"Durandal is still young. Perhaps things will improve once she grows up a little. Besides, it won't hurt her not to learn divination."
But unlike divination, Kiana displayed extraordinary talent in music and the arts.
She had exceptional physical abilities, great flexibility, and a beautiful singing voice.
Combined with her already outstanding appearance,
Fu Xuan felt that Kiana might have ended up in the wrong place. If Kiana had been born into a family, perhaps she could have worked with Guinaifen, whose reputation resounded throughout the universe, or even become a dazzling star.
Of course, when it came to publicity and creating hype, the company was still the best.
The company was a mixed bag, though. Even with the close cooperation between the Xianzhou Alliance and the company, Fu Xuan still remained wary of it.
Still, Fu Xuan casually recorded Kiana's singing.
She had originally only intended to keep it for herself, but for some reason, she uploaded it to the network.
Inside Herta Space Station.
Asta repeated her usual work as always. From time to time, she would also seek out Ms. Herta to ask whether there were any new projects or other matters that needed handling.
Most of the time, everything on the Space Station was peaceful. Because of that, countless group chats had sprung up.
Asta didn't even know how many accounts she had created or how many group chats she had joined.
And under her encouragement, the Cat Fan Club gradually grew stronger.
Like the groups calling themselves Haters and Herta Fans, as well as the Screwllum Fans, it was slowly spreading to various planets.
With nothing better to do, Asta created another account and planned to pose as a newcomer to see how these people were spreading the faith now.
As soon as she joined, she saw someone post a video link.
I Don't Want to Eat Dried Earthworms Anymore: Take a look. Is this our adorable Kiana? Could this be a video of Kiana when she was little—or is it Kiana's child?
Asta's pupils suddenly contracted when she saw the latter half.
She nearly lost control of her emotions and rushed straight to the video's location aboard the Star Destroyer she had bought some time ago, going to Xianzhou Luofu to investigate.
Besides, through her secret communications with Himeko, she knew Kiana was on Xianzhou Luofu. But having a child in such a short time was far too terrifying.
Who had given birth to it? Had Kiana found a girlfriend?
Who was it?
Could it be that pink-haired girl?
Or the Stellaron's host?
No, no, could it be Himeko?
Asta's emotions suddenly became tangled.
On one hand, she hoped Kiana would find her own happiness.
On the other, she didn't want Kiana to be taken away by someone else.
With a nervous heart, Asta clicked on the video.
As she watched the video, she saw that the young Kiana, though somewhat immature, possessed an incomparably moving voice, along with the appearance she had dreamed of day and night.
Asta finally relaxed.
"Thank goodness, thank goodness. She looks to be in her teens, so this should be Kiana herself. She probably said something strange again and became smaller."
Seeing the likes, votes, and tipping options below, and discovering that the uploader wasn't Kiana, Asta merely tipped the equivalent of one hundred thousand Credit Points.
Then she contacted people from the company and had them promote the video.
To let everyone see the adorable Kiana, Asta spent enough money this time to buy a Star Destroyer.
Although the expense was enormous, the results were equally remarkable. Almost every platform connected to the company was promoting the video with all its might.
The video's statistics surged rapidly. Because the company had intervened, no malicious comments appeared in the comment section.
Not long after posting anything malicious, every offender saw company employees appear at their doors, claiming that their mobile devices had malfunctioned and that they had come to repair them.
Fu Xuan forgot about the matter after posting the video, and Kiana didn't take it seriously either.
Although Aha hadn't said anything, Kiana always had a feeling that her body seemed to be recovering.
She simply didn't know whether she would continue recovering this way, slowly growing until she returned to normal, or suddenly revert to her original form.
Kiana, who had gone a long time without saying anything outrageous, finished a day of studying.
Finally, during dinner, while watching an extremely melodramatic show on television,
perhaps because her taut nerves had suddenly relaxed, she couldn't help making a couple of offhand remarks.
"Now that Jing Yuan Yuan has become a girl, will the Divine Foresight still recognize her?"
Fu Xuan didn't care about why Kiana knew about the Divine Foresight or why she had mentioned it.
Instead, she fell into deep thought because of Kiana's question.
Time quickly passed, and the next day arrived. Kafka watched as the two little ones slept soundly on the large bed, while she had been left on the sofa, ignored by everyone.
Kafka even began wondering whether Fu Xuan had forgotten about her.
Or was this some new interrogation method?
A form of play?
Early the next morning, Fu Xuan didn't disappear as soon as Kiana woke up.
Instead, she slept in with Kiana.
It was only when the time came to go to work and Qing Que came to wake Kiana that Fu Xuan stirred from her dreams.
Turning sideways to look at Kiana, who was still sleeping soundly, Fu Xuan couldn't stop the corners of her lips from lifting.
She poked Kiana's cheek. When Kiana didn't wake up, she even lightly sucked on Fu Xuan's finger like a kitten.
Fu Xuan felt especially good today.
When she realized that the knocking at the door still hadn't stopped,
Fu Xuan glanced at the time and discovered that she had actually gotten up late.
She hurriedly changed her clothes, tucked Kiana in, and only then went to the door to open it.
"Dur... Supreme Diviner!"
Qing Que had still been half-asleep and was about to greet Kiana, but when the door opened, she discovered that the person outside was her direct superior.
Her drowsiness vanished instantly.
Seeing Qing Que suddenly put on an act, Fu Xuan sighed.
"Forget it, Qing Que. Several distinguished guests in Changle Heaven require the Divination Department's hospitality today. Everyone else has to work, and I also need to activate the formation to investigate the truth behind the Stellaron Hunters' arrival here."
"So you don't need to report to the Divination Department today. Go straight to Changle Heaven and wait there."
"As for the little one sleeping inside, bring her along once she wakes up. You can also explain to her what a diviner is."
With that, Fu Xuan left home with Kafka, whose makeup had been removed.
Qing Que only reacted after Fu Xuan had disappeared completely.
"Huh? We have a junior now? But she's only becoming a diviner? I thought that, given the Supreme Diviner's regard for Durandal, she would immediately become a divination official and take over the Supreme Diviner's position after she retired."
It was you! The Pervert Who Stole the Stockings!
"I thought that, given the Supreme Diviner's regard for Durandal, she would immediately become a divination official and take over the Supreme Diviner's position after she retired."
Qing Que's words were not exaggerated.
Quite a few diviners and divination officials in the Divination Department had discussed this privately.
But no one had any objections.
An adorable Kiana wouldn't pester them to work every day, and she was easy on the eyes.
Besides, her abilities were plain for all to see. Other than being a little young, she practically had no flaws.
Some people had even begun looking forward to life in the future Divination Department.
If Kiana truly became the next Supreme Diviner of Luofu, the department's enthusiasm for work would probably increase significantly.
Even the notoriously poor hiring rate would likely undergo a qualitative improvement.
Seeing Kiana still in bed, Qing Que took off her shoes and approached her barefoot.
Looking at this little one who might become her superior in the not-too-distant future,
Qing Que felt that her days ahead might not be peaceful.
"Hu!"
After arriving at Changle Heaven, Fu Xuan hadn't told Qing Que where to wait since they needed to wait for people.
That meant that, in Fu Xuan's view, the two groups were bound to meet.
If that was the case, why not choose somewhere Qing Que could enjoy herself?
Kiana stared helplessly at Qing Que, who was playing with great enthusiasm nearby.
At first, Kiana had actually been dragged to the table as well.
But before long, her fellow players had been driven into despair by her absurd luck, and no one else came to play at that table.
Qing Que had no choice but to let Kiana rest nearby.
She then found a table that was missing one player and joined in.
What Qing Que didn't know was that Fu Xuan had secretly come to Changle Heaven too.
She found a hidden spot where others would have difficulty noticing her and quietly watched the two of them.
"Qing Que! Just you wait!"
After seeing the three members of the Express crew arrive, Fu Xuan felt that she could leave.
But just as she was about to turn around, she saw the youthful pink-haired girl in the group.
As if she had seen a Star Taro Bobo, she completely ignored Qing Que and rushed straight toward her little girl.
"Ah! It's been so long! Did you miss me?"
"Per... pervert!"
March 7th still didn't know Kiana's identity, nor did she know that the stockings she had received last time had come from Kiana.
While Kiana was watching Qing Que play cards, someone suddenly picked her up from behind.
At the same time, a lecherous voice reached her ears, repeatedly breathing hot air against them.
Kiana felt completely awful.
"Per... pervert..."
March 7th suffered another devastating blow.
After putting Kiana back on the ground, she knelt down in a gray, lifeless state.
And because of that, Qing Que also saw March 7th, along with the two people who arrived late behind her.
