It's just an illusion!

"ARuan, I want to take Mei back with me, is that okay?"

She quickly interjected, "I just found Mei a few days ago."

Ruan Mei wasn't surprised. After glancing at Yomi once more, she didn't refuse. "Okay."

She had no reason to refuse.

Although she disliked others setting foot in her secluded, uninhabited place, this friend of Kiana's was equally valuable to her.

This was also Kiana's request.

Worth considering.

"Yay!"

Although she didn't think Ruan Mei would refuse, she finally felt relieved after receiving an answer from Ruan Mei.

After all, there are always unexpected events.

"Let's go, it's time to go back."

Ruan Mei withdrew her gaze from her and walked ahead, not intending to linger there any longer.

Kiana pulled Yomi along, asking as they walked, "By the way ARuan, how did you know we were on the platform?"

"I asked Herta."

Ruan Mei was quite patient with her question and explained, "She told me that you left with the Nameless Ones on the Stellaris Train."

"So it was Ms. Herta..."

Didn't the Herta say it wouldn't act as a mouthpiece?

Kiana shook her head, glanced back at the Herta Space Station, and continued, "How long will it take to complete your Simulated Universe project?"

She wanted to confirm the timing of the Antimatter Legion's invasion of the Herta Space Station.

Ruan Mei pondered for a moment and said, "The construction work is being handled by the Herta. I've already completed the part simulating life and Aeon in the Simulated Universe."

Kiana asked uncertainly, "So, it's more than half done?"

"So I'm able to temporarily step away from this project."

Ruan Mei Dao.

Chapter Ninety-Three: Let My Wife Go With You?

"As I said before, Herta can contact me online if you have any questions. Also, I have some new ideas for this project."

"A new idea?"

Ruan Mei glanced at her and reminded her, "Honkai."

Honkai?

Kiana frowned, having some new ideas about this project. Was the new idea Honkai?

Simulated Universe and Honkai?

How do I put them together?

Kiana's expression was strange. Unable to figure it out, she asked somewhat incredulously, "ARuan, you want to add Honkai to the Herta's Simulated Universe?"

Is this something you should do?

Obviously not!

If the Herta's Simulated Universe collapses because of this, then things will get really messed up.

"No, the Simulated Universe is a product of our collaboration, spearheaded by the Herta."

Ruan Mei did indeed have this thought.

But it's also clear that this kind of thing can't be done, so it's just an idea.

However, this also served as a reminder to her.

The Herta Space Station is not allowed.

But once the space station's Simulated Universe is successful, she can create something similar herself and then try out her ideas.

Kiana breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"Why did ARuan call me back?"

Because?

Kiana didn't refuse, but she did have some doubts on the way there.

Ruan Mei looked at her, then at Yomi, who was no longer watching her, and her thoughts seemed to be pulled back to that day.

Do you remember the promise you made to me?

"A promise? What promise?"

The speaker was Yomi. Upon hearing this, she finally couldn't help but look once more at Ruan Mei, who had been by Kiana's side in her place.

Caught off guard by the question, Kiana was stunned for a moment before realizing what Ruan Mei was talking about.

It must be referring to something that happened before.

"Of course I could never forget!"

Kiana remembered her previous promise, and with Yomi watching her, she forced herself to say what she had promised Ruan Mei: "I said that as long as you still need me, I won't leave, and I will stay and cooperate with you."

I won't leave, I'll stay...

Yomi's brows furrowed even more.

"Very good."

Ruan Mei nodded, as if in praise.

In reality, his facial expression was indifferent, making it impossible to tell whether he was happy or unhappy, or whether he cared or not.

Why give her such a promise?

Perhaps it shouldn't be asked at this time, but Yomi desperately needs Kiana to give him an answer.

Even though the influence of the void has dulled her perception of feelings and emotions, she can still react to such things, no matter how dull she is.

Is it because Ruan Mei brought her out of Tenhutou Rock that Kiana made that promise?

Could it be a promise made during the period of amnesia?

My mood suddenly became a bit irritable.

She cares about Kiana, so it's impossible for her not to care about what Ruan Mei just said.

Ruan Mei emphasized her promise to Kiana.

The subtext is undoubtedly a reminder to Kiana to remember her promise and to keep it.

But what were their promises?

I won't leave.

Ruan Mei said calmly, "Kiana, do you remember what I said before? I hate being deceived, and you said you wouldn't go back on your word."

Yomi frowned. "Kiana?"

Her tone lowered, as she tried to conceal the turmoil in her heart.

"I haven't changed my mind."

Hearing the two voices, Kiana was completely bewildered. She explained to Yomi, "Calm down, it's not what you think, Mei!"

That's not what they meant at all, so why has it turned into something that looks like a chaotic scene?!

"You hesitated when I spoke to you that day."

Ruan Mei didn't care about what she and Yomi were saying; she just said what she wanted to say.

"Because when you were talking to me, I had just found Mei."

Kiana explained helplessly, "I didn't mean to go back on my word; I always keep my promise."

Kiana.

Just looking at her attitude towards Ruan Mei, Yomi's heart sank, and his eyes dimmed slightly.

"Calm down, Mei. I was talking to ARuan about Honkai energy."

Kiana noticed her unusual mood and quickly turned around to pull her back. "ARuan is interested in Honkai energy and is helping to research Honkai energy, as well as Stigma."

Honkai energy?

Kiana's explanation did indeed calm Yomi down. After thinking about it, he realized that Ruan Mei was a member of the Genius Club, and if she and Kiana were researching Honkai...

Isn't this kind of promise a bit inappropriate?

In any case, Yomi Quan finally stopped frowning and accepted Kiana's explanation.

After calming Yomi, Kiana looked at Ruan Mei again and said, "ARuan, you can rest assured, even if we find Mei, I won't go back on my word."

Yomi looked up at her, his expression unreadable.

Ruan Mei remained silent. She had indeed heard what she wanted to hear from Kiana, but unlike last time, she didn't care anymore after hearing it.

Even after hearing a definitive answer, I still couldn't help but wonder, was she telling the truth?

I've never felt this way before.

What surprised Ruan Mei was both novel and somewhat unexpected.

I don't believe it.

Those three words were enough to make Kiana break down.

She looked at Ruan Mei with a hesitant expression, not understanding why Ruan Mei would think that way, since she hadn't lied to Ruan Mei.

Mei said those words, and she could understand them, but she really hadn't lied to Ruan Mei now.

Faced with this situation, Kiana could only remain silent for a while.

Why don't you believe it?

What do I need to do to make her believe me?

"It's okay, I'll make you believe me."

Studying the Honkai process was inherently mutually beneficial, and she couldn't possibly go back on her word, so there was no need to explain it.

That's what Kiana thought.

However, Ruan Mei's next sentence made her eyes widen in disbelief.

All I heard Ruan Mei say was, "From this moment on, I want you to stay by my side every single moment."

Yomi asked coldly, "On what grounds?"

No time limit, just a simple "always"?

She narrowed her eyes, unable to contain herself, and sized up Ms. Ruan Mei: "Thank you for saving Kiana, but isn't it inappropriate to ask Kiana to stay by your side forever in exchange for that?"

She is my love.

"Spouse?"

A hint of surprise appeared on Ruan Mei's indifferent face. She looked at Kiana thoughtfully and said, "So that's how it is."

Ruan Mei is not that kind of person.

Kiana rubbed her face, trying to keep herself from getting sidetracked. Ruan Mei didn't even understand emotions; trying to understand her meant to remove the ambiguity in her words.

Is Ruan Mei planning something big next?

Do I need to cooperate myself?

The Simulated Universe isn't finished yet, and she might have to return to the space station at any time. It's clearly inappropriate for her to devote herself to other projects at this point.

Kiana was completely baffled and asked, "Just tell me ARuan, what do you need my help with?"
