Dong Moxuan and Bronya

After all, the Honkai Energy inside Mei was now no different from that of an ordinary person. Given his understanding of Anti-Entropy technology, it should have been impossible to track Mei's location with that little Honkai Energy.

"According to Bronya's calculations,"

Faced with Dong Moxuan's question, Bronya answered patiently.

"If Big Brother wants to take that Herrscher out of Changkong City, the most convenient route is through here. Bronya merely guessed the most likely possibility."

"So that's how it is?"

After hearing Bronya's answer, Dong Moxuan couldn't help giving a bitter smile.

It was such a simple matter, yet he hadn't figured it out.

But that was also because Dong Moxuan had never regarded Cocolia and Bronya as enemies. Without any wariness in his heart, he naturally wouldn't think that much.

"Hey, Big Brother,"

After answering Dong Moxuan's question, Bronya looked at the Silver-haired Youth before her with a somewhat complicated expression.

"After being separated from Bronya for so long, is that... all you wanted to say?"

Dong Moxuan "..."

Hearing Bronya's question, Dong Moxuan was slightly stunned before turning his head away with a somewhat evasive look.

"Mm, indeed."

"Hey, Bronya, these past few years,"

"Have you been doing well?"

"Have I been doing well these past few years?"

Hearing Dong Moxuan's question, Bronya revealed a somewhat mocking smile.

"Without Big Brother, how could Bronya be happy?"

"Hey, Big Brother, you clearly promised Bronya back then that you would protect Bronya forever."

"Yet after ruthlessly abandoning Bronya and everyone else, you actually... actually asked Bronya whether she had been doing well?"

The expression on Bronya's face grew increasingly agitated. Judging by her usual manner of speaking, her next words could practically be said to have been shouted.

"If Big Brother wants to ask Bronya that, then Bronya's answer is: no!"

"Every day, every hour, every minute after Big Brother left, Bronya was never happy!"

"Hey, Big Brother,"

With red-rimmed eyes, Bronya asked the question she had spent several years brewing in her heart.

"Why... why did you betray everyone?"

"Answer me, Big Brother!"

Dong Moxuan "..."

Dong Moxuan fell silent, not knowing how to answer.

Seeing that Dong Moxuan said nothing, Bronya's emotions gradually calmed down.

"Hey, Big Brother, why did you leave back then?"

"Did Bronya do something wrong and make Big Brother angry?"

"No, it had nothing to do with Bronya!"

Dong Moxuan finally spoke. He looked at the girl before him, not knowing how to explain.

"It was just... there were many reasons..."

"Many reasons?"

"I was actually a spy for The Void Archives. I was never a member of Anti-Entropy from the beginning."

Under Bronya's relentless questioning, Dong Moxuan finally revealed this cruel truth. He didn't even dare look into Bronya's eyes.

"I'm sorry, Bronya."

"So that was the reason..."

To Dong Moxuan's surprise, after learning the truth, Bronya did not become as furious or heartbroken as he had imagined. It was as if she had already guessed the truth.

"But even so, is it really such a big deal?"

The girl did not dwell on the truth. Instead, she looked at Dong Moxuan, her eyes shining with hope.

"Big Brother must care about everyone!"

"Even if Big Brother was a spy, Big Brother's concern and gentleness toward everyone definitely weren't fake!"

"So come back, Big Brother!"

"Everyone misses you very much!"

"Bronya believes Mother Cocolia won't blame Big Brother for what he did!"

"So, Big Brother..."

Bronya looked at Dong Moxuan, anticipation shining in her eyes.

"I'm sorry..."

That was Dong Moxuan's answer.

Bronya "..."

"Is that your answer, Big Brother?"

Bronya's gaze turned calm. As she looked at Dong Moxuan, the figure of Heavy-on-Rabbit slowly emerged behind her once more.

"Looks like what Mother Cocolia said was right. Trying to make Big Brother come back with words alone really isn't realistic!"

"Then let Bronya bring Big Brother back with her own hands!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Bronya directly controlled Heavy-on-Rabbit and struck at Dong Moxuan.

Seeing this, Dong Moxuan's eyelids twitched violently.

Bronya, are you trying to bring me back or kill me? Hey!

Mei had also never expected Bronya to suddenly attack. She had no time to react and could only watch helplessly as Heavy-on-Rabbit's fist, as large as a wok, shot straight toward Dong Moxuan. Dong Moxuan was about to be knocked unconscious with a single punch...

"Bang!"

Just as Heavy-on-Rabbit's fist was less than a centimeter from Dong Moxuan, a bullet sent the fist flying.

"Hey, Horny Xuan, you've only been away from this lady for a few days, and you've already gotten into this kind of danger. Aren't you a little too useless?"

After lightly blowing on the still-smoking muzzle, the Silver-haired Girl who had suddenly appeared shielded Dong Moxuan behind her.

"Miss Kiana? x2"

Looking at the girl who had suddenly appeared, Dong Moxuan and Mei both showed astonished expressions.

"That's right, it's this lady!"

Seeing the astonished looks on Dong Moxuan and Mei's faces, Kiana secretly delighted in her heart and couldn't help revealing a smug expression.

"If it weren't for this lady, Horny Xuan, you'd have been in danger just now!"

"Oh, then I really have to thank you, Miss Kiana!"

Looking at Kiana's smug expression, Dong Moxuan couldn't help twitching the corner of his mouth. He thanked her with great "sincerity," then asked in confusion,

"But why are you here? There clearly wasn't anyone else on the bridge earlier."

Kiana "..."

Hearing Dong Moxuan's question, Kiana froze at first, then her cheeks reddened.

"H-Horny Xuan! W-what do you mean by that question? D-do you think this lady would secretly follow you or something? This lady just happened to see you on the bridge! D-don't get so full of yourself!"

Dong Moxuan "..."

Looking at Kiana's flustered, panicked expression, Dong Moxuan couldn't help giving her a dead-fish stare.

He had only been asking a normal question. He hadn't meant anything by it.

Hasn't this White-haired Ball just confessed without being asked?

"Alright, Jun Xuan, Miss Kiana!"

Listening to their conversation, Mei, who stood to the side, couldn't hold back any longer.

"We can talk about this later. Right now, we should deal with the matter in front of us first!"

While Dong Moxuan and Kiana had been talking, Bronya had already controlled the Titan into position and was slowly closing in on them.
