Mei: For the Rest of My Life, Please Give Me Your Guidance!

Although Mei's lightning only left her paralyzed for a little over a minute, Dong Moxuan actually closed the door behind him when he left!

As a result, she waited on the rooftop for a full half hour until the side effects of Mei's attack completely subsided before breaking out.

Who knows what she was thinking while she was exposed to the cold wind on the rooftop for a full half hour!

If she hadn't been strong herself, she probably would have frozen to death on the rooftop!

However, Kiana ultimately didn't let anger cloud her judgment. She took a deep breath and asked the two people in front of her, "Earlier, on the rooftop, what exactly were you two..."

Kiana couldn't finish her sentence because she finally noticed Dong Moxuan's crimson eyes and the powerful Honkai Energy swirling around him.

Instantly, Kiana's pupils contracted, and she stumbled, nearly falling to the ground.

"You... you..."

Misunderstanding something, Kiana looked at Mei, her deep blue eyes brewing with killing intent.

She felt as if a piece of her heart was missing; she hadn't been this angry even during their previous encounter.

"You bastard..."

Before Kiana could finish speaking, she drew her pistol and threw it directly at Mei.

However, her attack was stopped midway.

"Um, Kiana,"

Dong Moxuan said, grabbing Kiana's wrist with one hand, his expression a little awkward.

"I'm happy you're so angry because of me, but it seems you've misunderstood something..."

Kiana: "..."

Hearing the familiar voice of the young man, Kiana's expression froze abruptly.

She looked at Dong Moxuan with disbelief.

"You... how can you be..."

In her eyes, Dong Moxuan had been infected by Mei using some dark method and turned into a death warrior.

Yet, this death warrior was speaking to her like a normal person, which momentarily confused her.

"It's just as you see,"

Dong Moxuan said, looking at the girl in front of him, his expression slightly awkward.

"I am not human, but a 'death warrior'."

"I'm sorry, I lied to you before."

"H-how is that possible!"

Kiana's surprise was undeniable.

"How can a death warrior have self-will?"

"Besides, you were clearly human before..."

Kiana recalled the moments she met the young man before her, feeling as if her memories were jumbled.

"This is my special ability, just like my intelligence."

Dong Moxuan waved his hand gently.

"Among 'death warriors', I'm probably a very special existence."

"Is... that so?"

Kiana's adaptability was strong, so she quickly accepted the reality and put away her dual pistols.

"Then, about earlier on the rooftop..."

"Mei and I have known each other for a long time."

Dong Moxuan's answer didn't surprise Kiana.

"So, Kiana, what did you need from Mei and me..."

"Nothing!"

Kiana seemed a bit disheartened.

She had been worried that Dong Moxuan might be in danger by staying by the side of that seemingly dangerous girl, only to find out she was being overly concerned.

Since the matter was cleared up, she didn't plan to stay any longer.

She turned around, ready to leave.

"Wait a moment!"

It was Mei who called out to Kiana.

"You..."

Turning to look at Mei, Kiana frowned slightly.

"Is there anything else you want to say to me?"

"Miss Kiana... is that the correct way to address you?"

Gently tucking a strand of hair, blown loose by the wind, behind her ear, Mei had returned to the Yamato Nadeshiko appearance Dong Moxuan first saw.

"You must know about the 'Honkai,' right?" "Changkong City is dangerous right now, and since you and Jun Xuan are friends..."

"Since we've met now, how about we..."

"Forget it!"

Kiana interrupted Mei before she could finish. Seeing Mei and Dong Moxuan looking so close, Kiana felt an inexplicable discomfort.

"With my strength, there's no danger for me."

"I won't disturb you two!"

With that, Kiana sped off without waiting for Mei to try and stop her.

"Miss Kiana..."

Watching Kiana's retreating back, Mei's expression was filled with worry.

"Will she be alright all alone...?"

"Don't worry, Mei, that White-haired Ball is incredibly strong!"

Dong Moxuan said to comfort her, then his expression turned puzzled.

"Mei, you were clearly... why this time..."

"Jun Xuan!"

Hearing Dong Moxuan's words, Mei's expression turned a little angry.

"You should know that before I..."

Mei had been influenced by Honkai Energy before, which made her act so extremely. In her normal state, Mei was very gentle.

"Mei... isn't a jealous girl..."

Dong Moxuan "..."

Dong Moxuan lightly turned his head away, pretending he hadn't heard anything.

"Hey, Jun Xuan,"

After a moment of hesitation, Mei fiddled with her fingers and looked at Dong Moxuan with anticipation.

"Was what you said before true?"

"What did I say?"

Dong Moxuan turned his head back.

"That... even if Mei were a monster, you'd still stay by Mei's side as a monster and never abandon Mei."

"Of course, it's true!"

Dong Moxuan's tone was firm.

"Really true?"

"Yes..."

"Really, really true?"

"That's right..."

"Really, really, really true?"

Dong Moxuan "..."

Where did you come from, Yoshino Tohka?

"Then..."

Seeing Dong Moxuan's defeated gaze, the corners of Mei's mouth curved into a smile.

She lightly tiptoed.

Dong Moxuan "!!!"

Feeling the soft touch on his lips, Dong Moxuan froze instantly.

"Jun Xuan,"

Taking a small step back, Mei looked at the stunned boy in front of her and revealed the gentlest smile of her life.

"Please take care of me for the rest of my life!"

"Bang!"

Accompanied by the sound of a violent collision with a doorframe, a petite girl in a Lolita dress with waist-length black hair leaned against the door, slumping to the floor.

"Hoo... hoo..."

She gasped for air in large gulps.

"I almost… got eaten…"

Clutching an ancient sword with a simple, old-fashioned design, the girl's expression was still one of lingering fear.

She looked out the window, her eyes showing a hint of annoyance.

"What in the world is going on? Is this a Resident Evil situation?"

"Whatever…"

With a soft sigh, the girl slowly stood up.

"I should focus on how to survive…"

"Why does a beautiful girl like me have to encounter something like this?"

"I wonder if that older girl I met at the arcade earlier is okay…"

The girl's gaze shifted towards the kitchen.

"I hope there's still something to eat in the kitchen…"
