"Thanks."

With the problem completely resolved, Kiana's body relaxed slightly, but as soon as she did, fatigue and pain surged back.

This made her expression turn somewhat unpleasant.

"Are you injured? These guys shouldn't be able to hurt you, right?"

Fei Xiao was somewhat puzzled by this.

She took several of Kiana's blows; putting aside the technique, she Remembrance Kiana's seemingly indestructible strength.

"It will get out of control."

Kiana succinctly summarized, "Therefore, I won't be using this power for the time being."

Like before, attacking without warning?

If things get out of control, then we really need to be careful.

Fei Xiao seemed thoughtful, then continued, "Then come with me to the Xianzhou for a while. I'll find a physician to treat you. By the way, I still don't know your name. If it's convenient, could you tell me?"

"Let's skip the guest visit."

Kiana shook her head and declined Fei Xiao's offer. She Fei Xiao probably being friendly to her because she had helped them by storming into the battlefield and fighting her way here.

But she hadn't originally planned to come and help.

If it weren't for the repeated attacks by the monstrous creatures, and her inability to swallow her anger, she would have left long ago.

You can call me Kiana.

"Don't be shy. Didn't we agree to have a match after the war?"

Seeing her refusal, Fei Xiao continued to invite her, "You've done Yaoqing a great favor. I can't speak for other Xianzhou, but in Yaoqing, you're a friend of Yaoqing."

"I'm just angry about this, I didn't come here to help you."

Kiana refused again, saying, "Besides, I'm a Self-Annihilator."

"Self-Annihilator?"

Fei Xiao looked at the white-haired girl in front of him with surprise. She looked even more disheveled than he did. She had been fighting tirelessly for several days. Her clothes were torn in some places, and her hands were wrapped in bandages, but they were stained with blood, whether from the enemy or herself, he didn't know.

"Yes, I am a Self-Annihilator."

"So, you are the messenger of the Black Sun?"

"Black Sun? Nothingness? I am not its messenger."

Kiana shook her head and said, "The Void doesn't pay attention to anyone. I only came into contact with its power by accident."

I never imagined that this friend was someone who walked a path of nothingness.

She could only say she had heard a little about nothingness; she dealt more with the Abundance faction.

"You can't tell at all."

Fei Xiao sighed, then continued the previous topic, "There's a saying in the Xianzhou: 'Judge by actions, not intentions.' Judging solely from the result, you've done us a great favor."

Kiana looked at her strangely and said, "You... are you really a general of the Xianzhou Alliance?"

The white fox in front of me was both dashing and beautiful, with a confident and straightforward demeanor that exuded a powerful beauty at first glance.

It also demonstrated its strength.

But as the general of the Xianzhou, shouldn't she consider the Xianzhou's well-being?

What? You don't believe me?

This was the first time Fei Xiao had encountered someone questioning his identity, and he found it rather novel.

Doesn't she resemble General Xianzhou in many ways?

"... I am a Self-Annihilator."

She said tactfully, "As you saw before, I couldn't even control myself."

What's wrong with that?

Fei Xiao then realized that she wasn't questioning him, but rather saying that as a general, she shouldn't have brought danger back.

She said, "You seem perfectly normal right now. And even nothingness can't cause trouble for no reason, right?"

"Don't refuse."

Fei Xiao patted her shoulder and laughed heartily, "At least let us thank you. You can't leave this injury untreated. Even if you're not visiting, you should at least see a doctor to treat your wound, right?"

"... Aren't you afraid?"

"Didn't we fight before? Your knife tells me you're a decent person."

Fei Xiao said, "Besides, we agreed beforehand to have a friendly spar."

Her repeated invitations weren't for any other reason than that she was itching to make a move. She was already preoccupied with the ongoing war and had to prioritize peace talks.

But after leaving, she thought back on those few moves she exchanged with Kiana, and the lack of further sparring left her feeling restless and eager to try again.

That force was really powerful.

Sparring with such an opponent will definitely yield good training results.

Chapter Fifty-Seven: Without worries or regrets, one is invincible.

That's it.

In the hospital room, Kiana explained why she was there and why she had gotten involved.

This is nothing to keep secret.

Honesty will help with future communication. Her spaceship is damaged, and the only way to return is to use the Xianzhou as a transit station.

So she went with Fei Xiao anyway.

Because she refused to go with Fei Xiao, and with the spaceship gone, she didn't know how long she would drift alone before finding the others.

But...

A pink-furred, squinty-eyed fox.

Even if he's just a physician, he's definitely not an ordinary physician.

"The Buli have always been cunning and cruel, so it's not surprising that they would do such a thing. However, they probably never dreamed that their whim would backfire so badly."

Perhaps.

Kiana doesn't seem to have a strong desire to communicate.

"Here are some new bandages, would you like to change them?"

Fei Xiao knew what was important and stayed by her side the whole time, so that even if she suddenly lost control, he could stop her in time.

Kiana looked at the dirty bandage on her hand, then reached out and took the bandage from her. "Thank you."

"You are welcome."

She glanced at the physician and said to Kiana, "Aren't you really going to come with us to Yaoqing for a while?"

"It's already been delayed for several days. If it continues, my friends will worry."

Will Ruan Mei be worried?

Kiana wasn't sure, but whether or not she would, it wouldn't stop her from using Ruan Mei as a shield.

Along the way, she had figured out Fei Xiao's little scheme; this Sky Strike General's enthusiasm was simply because he wanted to spar with her.

This...

She didn't think she could be a match for a Xianzhou General without using her Honkai.

This Xianzhou General is none other than the Sky Strike General of Yaoqing, from the renowned and victorious Immortal Xianzhou, which is known for its martial prowess.

Fei Xiao was a little disappointed, but the person really had urgent business to attend to, and she felt bad asking them to stay longer to experience Yaoqing's culture.

"If there's really no time, then this is the only way. I'll arrange for the Starskiff... your eyes?"

"My eyes?"

Seeing Fei Xiao looking at her with surprise, Kiana reached up and touched her eyes.

"Your eye color has changed."

"Blue?"

Fei Xiao nodded. "Yes, blue."

Kiana breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing their puzzled looks, she explained, "This is the true color of my eyes. The gold you saw earlier... was a manifestation of my inability to control this power, a possibility of it going out of control."

"I heard from the general that your condition is quite serious; you are conscious but unable to control your body?"

The Foxfolk healer named Jiaoqiu said.

"... It's not an illness."

She always felt that the doctor was observing her and trying to get information out of her, but she didn't really care.

This is normal.

This is Yaoqing's territory.

It would be strange if you weren't nervous or indifferent.

"My situation is somewhat unique; it's a manifestation of my inability to control my own power."

Jiaoqiu glanced at Fei Xiao without showing any emotion, and for some reason thought of the Moon-madness on Fei Xiao's body.

"Unable to control your own power?"

Recalling Kiana's words that she is Self-Annihilator, she walks on the path of nothingness.

"Can't find meaning in existence?"

Kiana looked at her in surprise.

That shouldn't be the case.

Walking on a path of nothingness, if she doesn't even know the meaning of her existence, how can she act so normally?

Jiaoqiu was indeed observing her.

He did not comment on Fei Xiao's bold act of bringing people directly to the scene.

But we must not let our guard down when it comes to things that require caution.

Do you have faith?

"... belief?"

"Yes, find your own beliefs, and then steadfastly put them into practice."

Fei Xiao said, "Perhaps you're overthinking things because you're influenced by the void."

A person with great power also possesses a strong mind.

Kiana's strength is up to par, but her mindset is lacking, which makes her look quite lost. Fei Xiao believes it's due to the influence of nothingness.

"The general's words make sense."

Kiana sighed; she knew these things all too well. "Someone has said this to me before."

"If you don't mind, you can tell me your thoughts. Jiaoqiu is a healer, and he might be able to help you."

Hearing Fei Xiao say that, Kiana looked at Jiaoqiu standing next to Fei Xiao in surprise. "You also work part-time as a psychologist?"

"It was only briefly involved."

I can't say I understand, I can only say...

Sigh, I didn't understand before, but I do now.

Kiana did want to hear other people's opinions, and since they were currently on someone else's turf, it wouldn't hurt to release some information to reassure them.

"... Power itself is neither right nor wrong, but in the process of using it, it can bring unimaginable disasters to the surroundings. How should I deal with it?"

Nothingness?
