"..."
After hearing Kiana's words, Mei's expression, which had softened slightly under Dong Moxuan's comfort, instantly darkened. Dong Moxuan could even see a faint killing intent in her eyes.
"Holy crap, Paramecium, what are you suddenly saying? Are you tired of living?"
Seeing Mei's change, Dong Moxuan hurriedly covered the mouth of the suicidal White-haired Ball, his expression filled with helpless despair.
He had worked so hard to comfort Mei. Was it easy for him?
Yet this White-haired Ball had no idea what had gotten into her and insisted on courting death!
How was he supposed to deal with this?
He was only a weak, pitiful, and helpless dead soldier, after all!
It was too hard!
"Mm..."
Feeling Dong Moxuan's action, Kiana immediately began struggling.
She forcefully shook off Dong Moxuan's hand covering her mouth, her eyes carrying a hint of displeasure.
"Hey, Porn Xuan, do you really have to be this cowardly?"
She looked at Mei, her tone utterly unconcerned.
"Relax. This lady is very powerful."
"Don't be afraid. I'll protect you!"
Dong Moxuan "..."
I'm not worried about my own safety!
I'm worried this big-mouthed White-haired Ball will be electrocuted to death by Mei!
Please, stop courting death!
Naturally, Kiana had no idea what Dong Moxuan was thinking. After speaking to him, she shifted all her attention to Mei before her.
"I bear no ill will, but it seems you don't want to talk properly, Pikachu."
Kiana drew her twin guns and let out a cold laugh.
"But that doesn't matter."
"You'll speak calmly with this lady... after this lady beats you down!"
Before she had even finished speaking, Kiana struck first and fired two shots at Mei.

"But that doesn't matter."
"You'll speak calmly with this lady... after this lady beats you down!"
Before she had even finished speaking, Kiana struck first and fired two shots at Mei.
Although Kiana didn't think she would lose, she didn't underestimate Mei in the slightest.
However, before the bullets Kiana fired could even approach Mei, the lightning swirling around her lashed out and shattered them to pieces.
Seeing this, Kiana's eyes narrowed, and her movements became even more cautious.
Kiana's marksmanship was incredibly precise, while her martial arts were exceptionally fierce.
But Kiana's greatest strength was that she had completely fused her marksmanship and martial arts into an immensely powerful and extraordinarily beautiful gun dance.
It was thanks to this technique that Kiana possessed the ability to easily subjugate Honkai Beasts.
However, pillars of lightning surrounded Mei, leaving Kiana with no opportunity to use her martial arts.
She could only perform her gun dance while firing probing shots, making Dong Moxuan feel incredibly awkward.
Kiana, do you want to dance too?
Mei also seemed to be getting annoyed by Kiana. After finding an opening, she directly lashed Kiana to the ground with a lightning whip.
Yep, Kiana charged in, Kiana had a huge advantage, Kiana was unable to get back up—that was more or less how it went.
"Heh..."
Walking forward, Mei looked at the White-haired Ball lying beneath her and coldly spat out four words.
"All flash, no substance!"
Kiana "..."
Hearing Mei's words, an angry expression appeared on Kiana's face.
However, her entire body was numb from the electric shock, leaving her unable to move. All she could do was glare "fiercely" at Mei.
Seeing this, a cold smile appeared on Mei's face.
It's her. This woman bewitched Jun Xuan.
As long as I kill her, Jun Xuan will return to my side.
As long as I kill her, Jun Xuan will belong only to me!
To Mei at that moment, Dong Moxuan had become her sole emotional support—the obsession keeping her from being devoured by the Honkai.
Therefore, any existence that might damage her relationship with Dong Moxuan would face the girl's merciless killing intent.
Kill this bastard!
As Mei thought this, blinding lightning began shining in her palm. In the next second, the female lead of the Honkai series was about to meet her end...
"Stop!"
Dong Moxuan directly grabbed Mei's wrist.
"Kiana was in the wrong just now. I'll apologize on her behalf!"
"Porn Xuan, who asked you to—"
"Shut up!"
Dong Moxuan's sudden sternness made Kiana's heart tremble, and she instinctively closed her mouth.
"Hey, Mei, in any case, Kiana really was in the wrong. But you don't have to take her life over it, do you? Do me a favor and let this one go..."
Dong Moxuan couldn't finish speaking, because the purple-haired girl before him was already teary-eyed.
"Jun Xuan..."
Mei's voice was slightly choked.
"Are you going to abandon me too?"
Dong Moxuan "..."
"How did you come to that conclusion?"
"Then why are you protecting her?"
"She is my friend!"
"What about me?"
"...Mei, you're my family!"
Dong Moxuan's tone was extremely earnest, but Mei showed no sign of being moved. Instead, she revealed a mocking expression.
"So, between family and friends, you chose your friend and abandoned me?"
"I didn't abandon you. I just—"
"Don't say anything more!"
Mei directly cut Dong Moxuan off.
"From the very beginning, you've been making excuses for this girl!"
"You're afraid of me. You're afraid I'll hurt her..."
"From the very beginning, she's been all you've thought about, while I..."
"You... never cared about me at all!"
Mei's words were choked with tears. Not only Dong Moxuan—even Kiana, who had nearly been killed by her moments ago, couldn't help feeling sorry for her.
Although, in the Honkai storyline, Mei was the eldest of the Three Great Families, taking on the role of the head of the household and looking after the two brats, Kiana and Bronya.
That maturity was merely a facade.
If one really considered it, she was actually the most sensitive and vulnerable of the Three Great Families.
Although Dong Moxuan's unintentional actions had happened for a reason, they had indeed gone too far.
For Mei, who was being eroded by the Honkai, Dong Moxuan was her only remaining emotional support, the light that allowed her to preserve herself.
Yet at the very moment she needed Dong Moxuan most, he had shifted all his attention to another woman. He had even stood against her for that woman. How could that not break Mei's heart?
She was even beginning to feel despair, and the faint glimmer of light in her heart was starting to waver precariously.
"Dong Moxuan!"
This was the first time Mei had called Dong Moxuan's name in such a cold tone.
"You, them, and Father—you aren't different at all!"
"In the end, am I still alone?"
"No one... really cares about Mei..."
"It's all... fake..."
"None of this... means anything..."
