Asking for Help. / Changkong City.

"Of course, no problem!"

Kiana couldn't possibly refuse Ruan Mei, but the request was somewhat sudden. After all, kissing is something that usually happens naturally when you feel it.

A solemn request...

It seems that she would suddenly make this request only when she was with Ruan Mei.

Wait, could I finally get my revenge on Mei for the humiliation I suffered with ARuan?

She's no match for Mei, so how could she possibly lose to ARuan, who lacks offensive power?

In the blink of an eye, Ruan Mei had closed the distance between them, their breaths mingling and becoming one.

Kiana instinctively wrapped her arms around her waist, a hint of shyness appearing in her eyes, and a burning heat quietly crept up her cheeks.

To wipe away... past humiliations?

Ruan Mei quite liked this way of contact; her movements weren't fast, and she remained very clear-headed, especially after seeing the thoughts Kiana had just had.

She bit Kiana lightly, and when Kiana winced in pain, the brief intimate moment ended.

"Hmm~ ARuan?"

Kiana let out a sob. It wasn't that it hurt much, but she was very confused, wondering why Ruan Mei would suddenly bite her.

Playing with Kiana's silky white hair, Ruan Mei said, "You and Raiden Mei did that kind of thing, didn't you?"

Chapter 149 Seeking Help

Kiana's puzzled expression froze on her face.

Embarrassment overwhelmed all other emotions in an instant. Feeling guilty, she wanted to turn her head away, but Ruan Mei had anticipated this.

"Uh... um, yes, yes."

Her face flushed crimson, almost to the point of bleeding. She forced a nod; since Ruan Mei had already asked, there was no way she could hide this from her.

Besides telling the truth.

She had no other choice.

"Why?"

Ruan Mei's voice became somewhat heavy, and Kiana's mood also sank, making her afraid to breathe loudly.

Ruan Mei wasn't actually angry; no matter what happened, she always seemed very rational.

She simply looked puzzled.

You clearly rejected me last time.

Her eyes showed confusion. "I've confirmed with you repeatedly."

She didn't show any anger, but her aura was tense, which was obvious to anyone with eyes.

If Kiana can't give her a satisfactory answer today, she definitely won't let this matter go so easily.

She can do it, but I can't?

She wouldn't understand or accept this kind of thing.

"Last time in Jarilo -VI."

She even thoughtfully reminded Kiana which time she was referring to, almost specifying the exact time as well.

She wanted Kiana's answer.

"You said you didn't want to continue."

"I can't, but she can, right?"

As Ruan Mei's words gradually veered towards interrogation, Kiana's feeling of being choked became more and more pronounced.

His face didn't show much expression, but when he spoke, he exuded a sense of oppression that made people afraid to look him in the eye.

It's like he's become a completely different person.

"It's not what you think."

Kiana, fearing that Ruan Mei would say something even more terrible, quickly interrupted her before she could continue.

"I just, I just..."

She was a little embarrassed to say it aloud, but now that she'd come this far, she couldn't explain to Ruan Mei without revealing the reason, "I was a little embarrassed at the time, and besides, I was in the lab then, and Mei could come back at any moment..."

"So it was a matter of timing?"

Ruan Mei frowned, reluctantly accepting her explanation. Upon reflection, it was indeed not a good time.

Perhaps she should have made this further request before she even set off.

"That's not quite appropriate."

Kiana whispered, and most importantly, Yomi could return at any moment.

Although she confidently declared that she wanted it all, she genuinely didn't know how to truly balance their relationship.

Fortunately, they didn't stay together for long and both restrained themselves well. Moreover, I now have the ability to Teleport at any time.

They will have even fewer opportunities to meet in the future.

"Is now the right time?"

"Appropriate, of course it's appropriate!"

"Let's begin then."

After Kiana left the space station, she went to Jarilo -VI, and more than half a year passed in the blink of an eye.

Nothing major happened in the past six months, and Kiana had already safely returned to the Xianzhou several months ago.

And during this period.

Ark also reached a cooperation agreement with Luofu, acquiring some of the technologies that Luofu had replaced.

They are making great strides in renovating the Ark.

Kiana spends most of her time with Yomi, and only occasionally visits Jarilo -VI, and keeps Ruan Mei company when she has free time.

Life was quite fulfilling and peaceful.

But this peaceful life lasted for less than six months before a piece of news completely shattered it.

It was a message from the Stellaris Train, and also a request for help.

Upon seeing the news, Kiana was so shocked she couldn't calm down. "Welt actually went? The Nameless Ones all voted in favor?"

Kiana felt a pang of sympathy, suddenly regretting what she had said to Welt when they encountered the Stellaris Train resupplying at the space station.

Unexpectedly, he actually went to Tenhutou Rock without saying a word and actually found Izumo.

Jana is no longer there.

Kiana originally had no plans to return to Izumo anytime soon, but things didn't go as planned, especially since she was now being blamed for this.

If she hadn't said those things to Welt, this trouble wouldn't have happened. Now, only she can personally go and get that guy Welt out of Izumo.

"I'll go with you."

After learning of her plan, Yomi didn't hesitate. "I know that place better than you do."

Kiana had no reason to refuse.

The Ark project is still a long way off, and Yomi has almost forgotten he still has unfinished business to attend to while he's stuck here.

Perfect timing! She can take this opportunity to leave. The Ark is currently docked in Luofu, so nothing is likely to happen to it.

"Then let's not delay, let's set off as soon as possible."

Kiana didn't mince words; knowing Yomi's personality, she didn't say anything to dissuade her from taking the risk.

And this isn't even considered risky.

After all, Izumo...

That is the hometown of the Yomi, and the place the Yomi have longed to return to.

Ten days after receiving the message from the Stellaris Train, Kiana and Yomi returned to the place where they first met... Izumo!

Returning to this place, Kiana felt a complex mix of emotions as she gazed at the planet, mostly shrouded in shadow, from space.

They also saw the Stellaris Train.

The Stellaris Train did not land on Izumo, but stopped outside of Izumo's gravitational pull.

"Don't rush off. Let's go to the Stellaris Train and ask about the situation."

Kiana suggested that they take Yomi on the Stellaris Train once again, but this time, the atmosphere on the Stellaris Train was not as relaxed as the last time.

"You've finally arrived!"

Inside the carriage, March 7th, whom they had met once before on the Stellaris Train, recognized them. Upon seeing them, a look of joy finally appeared on his worried face.

"Uncle Yang has been gone for almost half a month, and we haven't received any news. We dare not make any rash moves."

This place is too close to nothingness, especially the planet below. It should have been completely submerged in the shadows long ago, but because of the Honkai that Uncle Yang mentioned, it is still intact.

No, it just looks fine.

"Miss Kiana, only you can save Uncle Yang now! You absolutely must bring Uncle Yang back!"

March 7th said anxiously.

"Gentlemen, here's what happened."

Although Himeko was also concerned about Welt's situation, she wasn't as anxious as March 7th. Instead, she told Kiana and the others what had happened half a month ago.

From that day on, Welt had been thinking about Izumo. As a warrior who fought against the Honkai and the leader of Anti-Entropy, the word 'Honkai' touched his sensitive nerves.

He couldn't sleep soundly until he found out the situation clearly, and he made thorough preparations and persuaded the others on the train.

The Stellaris Train recently traveled to this place, the closest it gets to the Void Shadow.

Chapter 150 Changkong City.

This almost 'dead' planet is extremely dangerous, with the power of nothingness and the power of Honkai intertwined.

Even with the protection of Trailblaze, they are still very likely to be affected.

Apart from Welt, no one else had this knowledge, nor did they have Honkai energy resistance, so Welt was the only one on this train's Trailblaze journey to Izumo.

Welt never returned.

They went down and immediately lost contact.

"I see."

Kiana nodded with a strange expression, and looking out the train window, she could still see Izumo.

She didn't even know if these two types of Honkai were the same thing, or whether Welt's Honkai energy resistance on Earth was actually useful; she had to question that.

"I'll go down and look for it now."

Is there anything we can help you with?

Although Dan Heng didn't say much, he was equally concerned about Welt's safety.

"Help?"

"Yes, please don't hesitate to ask us for help wherever you need us."

Himeko spoke.

Kiana shook her head. "It's dangerous here. I have some ways to deal with Honkai energy, but if I accidentally get contaminated with Void, that would be troublesome."

"Mr. Welt did hear what I said, which is why he decided to come here to explore. How about this, you don't need to leave the train; Mei and I will go down to look for Mr. Welt."
